Because you are now having to pay your own taxes. My husband and I figure 30% could go to taxes.

You spending 3K in gasoline to make 4K plus all that time on the road?That doesn't make sense Pat
Make sense
She didn't send her daughter off anywhere. The girl was 18 right??? She is an adult and can go wherever she wants at that age. What could her mother do? And how do YOU know if you would shoot your mouth off or not if YOUR child was killed and taken from you? How do you know what you would do?
She will never see her daughter again. Hello, of course she is handling it badly. GEEZ. HELLO??????
LOL you make sense (sm)
I was just needing to vent so much, and almost gave a little more specifics which would have given it away what happened was very recent.
You make no sense to me. (sm)
Here is a professional discussing a problem with our profession ... and it is a problem. Not only don't you want to talk about it, but you seem offended that anybody else does?
It seems like you are confessing to be somebody who has a lot of feedback from QA, and it makes you mad, and they should stop because you don't care. Are we supposed to think you are smart and wonderful, and we should drop the conversation because you don't like it?
That does not make sense
if your salary slashed, what does that have to do with retaining quality blah, blah, blah. Not retaining, did they let everyone go, is that how the pay slashed?
right, that's bad and it does not make any sense!...nm

That did not make any sense..what are you talking about?

Your emails don't make sense
Not trying to be rude, but that does not make any sense to me. sm
If you are fast, the company would probably much rather pay you by the hour than the line. About 7-8 years ago, I was making $16/hour and killing myself. Now that I am paid by the line, I average $34/hour or so.
Sorry, that didn't make sense! I mean
I put yo in the abreviated and replace with year-old. So then when I type 15-yo, it replaces yo with year-old and is perfect!
This doesn't even make sense - sm
Why are you getting these reports? Were you told or asked to do this? I don't get this at all, especially since you aren't QA.
What didn't make sense to me is the first
woman was shaking in fear, yet this bomb is supposed to be so delicate that anything will set it off. You see her arm shaking. Then she pulls her hand out, and what? the other woman happened to put her hand in there and is now clasping the bomb! and shaking.
I didn't last til the end. It just disgusted me too much. Kudos to you for hanging in there. It's good when you've got a show you really like and look forward to every week, so if that's yours, more power to ya! :)
What doesn't make sense? ..sm
From what the OP said, she wouldn’t have even known about the call if her husband hadn’t shared the information. Why would he create suspicion where there is none?
The only thing the OP’s husband did was answer his phone and tell his wife about the conversation. How many times a day do you answer a phone? How many times do you mention a call in conversation? He may have only mentioned it because he was amused by his friend’s childish ways. If the OP’s husband doesn’t want his friend using him as an answering service, then he needs to discuss that with his friend. It is between the two men.
What did the woman who called do wrong? She was given a number to reach someone at, and she called the number. If someone gives you a number to call, you assume it is okay to call that number. She may have even had a legitimate reason to get in touch with the guy.
Calling the friend’s wife would only humiliate and embarrass her. If her husband is a cheat, and there is no proof that he is, she knows. When she is ready to accept that information and handle it in her own way, she’ll do that. It is also possible that her husband isn’t cheating or that she doesn’t care if he’s cheating.
This situation has obviously caused tension for the OP. Maybe this is bothering her so much because she already has suspicions, if so, she needs to figure out if her suspicions are valid or if it is how own insecurities. She should then discuss her feelings with her husband calmly and rationally; freaking out or getting loud doesn’t make anyone hear you any better, in fact, the opposite is true. Just because someone else’s husband is a skank doesn’t mean her husband is a skank. It isn’t fair to convict this man of anything other than answering his phone and having a friend with poor judgement.
What? That doesn't make sense. sm
How would the house be worth less than she paid in legal fees to keep it in the divorce? Even if she paid $20,000 in attorney fees, she still came out the winner. These houses look beautiful, and it sounds as though she enjoys hers very much. Did you actually look at the photos, and read her description? You said you didn't think she's be able to give it away much less sell it, and that statement is just crazy.
this does not make sense to me as the IRS site clearly says
If you do not pay enough through withholding or estimated tax payments, you may be charged a penalty. If you do not pay enough by the due date of each payment period you may be charged a penalty even if you are due a refund when you file your tax return.
You must pay estimated tax for 2006 if both of the following apply.
You expect to owe at least $1000 in tax for 2006 after subtracting your withholding and credits.
You expect your withholding and credits to be less than the smaller of;
90% of the tax to be shown on your 2006 tax return, or
100% of the tax shown on your 2005 tax return. Your 2005 tax return must cover all 12 months.
So according to their own site, the only way you can pay yearly is if your husband has enough extra withheld that it equals what you paid in tax last year. Or you owe less than $1000...
Wouldn't it make sense to just ask QA
to explain their decision to you? In my experience, every single time an MT has a hissy fit over something, it was their mistake all along. How can you just assume QA is wrong? If you write and ask politely, you will have all the proof you need either way - if you were right, you have proof of your challenge of it, and if you are wrong, you may learn something new!  And you must not have even contacted QA, as otherwise you wouldn't have to ask your question at all!
Wouldn't make sense to me.
You'd have to go to school and try to learn a gazillion things that you perhaps aren't able to focus on because you have a cool new baby. So spend 9 months and $4000 on the education ... you might as well have just stayed home and enjoyed your baby and saved the child care, right?
That doesn't make any sense then
I can't believe the trees would make any difference beaming to a satellite especially if you are able to get Dish Network.
doesn't make any sense--sm
explain "in the year you reach full retirement.." and "until the month you reach full retirement." very confusing.
it doesn't make sense (sm)
Do you really think Stedman's is going to make everything available for free?
This person has posted this link at least twice - who knows what it might be putting on your computer.
I haven't clicked the link and don't intend to. It can't be a legit link.
That doesn't even make sense. You don't
think newbies do MT? What? Well then what do you call all the newbies out of MT school who get jobs?
I don't know what you are talking about. Try again tomorrow when you might make sense.
"edit my reports with eyes closed"? what has that got to do with anything?
I'm not sure which is right, but either way, seems like it doesn't make sense to rebuild

Yeah, you make a lot of sense! Stupid.
Yeah, we are immature. I find it funny that you think people who enjoy their jobs are immature and have multiple personality disorders. So wake up ugly and go find a shrink.
Your comment doesn't make sense.
Maybe you're not talking about the same India/Indians, but what ytou said doesn't make sense. If they outsource most of their work to India, how do they "not" pay Indians? Explain, please.
Wouldn't it make more sense for the company
to hire someone for that shift, and that person could be a "stat" person in addition to typing a regular account? Nah, I guess that would be just too simple!
U make no sense. If paid per correction, why

This message doesn't make a lot of sense.
If you owe $$ to the state, that has nothing to do with how fast you tax return will be done. You pay when you file, simple enough. If you want to pay and then file, then write the check today and stick it in the mail. Since you don't say what state you live in, I'll assume that your 2007 quarterly tax deadline is the same as everyone else's--1/15/08. If you have no idea, then the last place to be asking for advice on this matter is this board. Go to your state's website and check their revenue page.
Your post doesnt make much sense. Were you

no offense, but that really doesn't make any sense
6/cpl is 6/cpl and that's 3 cents less per line than 9/cpl.
This part of your posting does not make any sense...sm
You say:
'....Shouldn't be working production if you are not expert at the profession yet.'
Sure, a newvie is not an expert.
Only working production will make you an expert.
How else?
Boy, does this dictator have a way of putting things to make sense.
A 24-year-old married Hispanic male who does not speak English but we used an interpreter for him during each session who has been married 6 times with 3 children. 
Still doesn't make sense content-wise.
A flax is gonna take care of the patient? I'm not comfortable that is correct.
it does get easier and eventually things make sense to you even when you can't understand -
I was doing a Irish doctor, I could understand the medical terms pretty well, it was the easier, more normal words, I had trouble with. Because of the lilting and very fast way he said it "three arteries and a vein" nearly drove me insane.
No offense, but your post didn't make any sense whatsoever.
Maybe you didn't explain it right, but I read and re-read and don't understand a thing you just said.
Busy MT, your statement doesn't make a lot of sense. First of all, if US staff did walk out, MQ
one, because they don't have enough people in India to cover a large walkout and, two, their QA staff put out about maybe on a good day 70% quality. Even the quality that gets back to the client I work for now is horrible because there are certain MTs who apparently some not too bright supervisor thinks is producing work that is good enough to go to the client without being checked over and the hospital is having an absolute fit over it. I say, let em walk!
Not true. There are times that renting a home and leasing a car make more sense.
than outright purchase. Do your homework.
Sense of humor intact! Sense of hope as well! LOL
Yep, I knew it was advice, and I appreciate ALL points of view as it gives me perspective. 8-) I've been reading the boards for a while now, and I realized that I'd get the good, the bad, and the ugly, and that's okay!
However, I specifically asked for advice about how to do it rather than whether to do it, though, as I've already decided to defy the odds and give it a go.
Enjoyed the NCLB reference, by the way!
How nice that the world revolves around what you make and no one else could possibly make more. sm
Marla in So. California pays 11 cpl for a 55 ccl, Oracle pays 9-1/2 cpl, MDI-MD 11 cpl, JLG 10 cpl for gross line, etc.
Of course, these are rates negotiated and paid to qualified MTs.

When I see mistakes I repeatedly make, I make a quickcorrect for it (sm)
for example if I type we plant o instead of "plan to" I have a quick corrct so that if I type plant o, it replaces it with plan to, etc. It is hard - I was with the same company for 8 years. I do not work for anyone with an accuracy requirement though.
Ah, so you know her personally? What I sense from you is
Take a cold shower, Billie Jean! 
Sense of humor.
I have been in the same situation with doctors not spelling out names, etc. I have just quit a national company and have been wondering what to do next. When I read these postings today, I could not help but laugh. Keep your sense of humor as it helps the rest of us get through our days too.
that makes sense.

Thanks, of course I used common sense...sm
before I posted and waited until not only after the press release but after the details came out. We were carefully briefed early on on the details of what was and wasn't okay.
My daughter is going out of her skin waiting to hear. She loves history and current events at school, particularly the mock elections, etc. I just think it is a wonderful opportunity to give her this early in life. I hope it makes a huge impression if she gets to go as far as the importance of exercising her right to vote, etc.
That makes sense. - nm

ok now that makes more sense.
I believe in spirits too. Animals can sense those kind of things better than we can.
That makes sense. SM
I honestly don't know what all it entails with keeping up a forum like this. But I think this is the best one out there and I was just worried that something was happening. I applaud EVERYONE who keeps this going. I am sure a lot of us out there does not know what all it takes. Thanks for having such a good place to come to for our profession! 
you need a sense of humor
Get over your bad self. The woman was having fun with a difficult situation - most psychologists would say that is healthy.
As far as your sour attitude - glad you're not in my church.
People whose English language skills are very poor should not be doing jobs where they have to give "Customer support" or "customer service" to English-speaking customer - period. They need to improve their English skills.
If you went to India, do you think they would give you a job speaking in their dialect? Certainly not. They, and most other countries, will not hire foreigners to do jobs that their own citizens are qualified to do. The U.S. is about the only country that does not protect the jobs of its citizens.
makes no sense
The people in MY area were white and waited 11 days.....so explain that one to me. A disaster is a disaster, and I wouldn't have gone in to do anything with people shooting at me, regardless of color. New Orleans was a sewer anyway, we were only 50 miles from it and never went over there. Our news came out of there and it was non stop murders, drugs, etc. People would come down there for conventions and get robbed, raped, murdered. It was a daily occurrence. It's common knowledge that the murder rate for New Orleans is 800 times the national average. What's that tell you?
