Celine. No contest. Besides, Babs is into politics now. :) nm
Please, please, please, tell me you're joking.
/
Hope you're joking...nothing more need said. nm
that's the beauty of Babs
She can blow.
She can write.
She can produce.
She her stage presence is just quiet elegance all the way.
Celine, Christina - beating on the chest - thug life - no, no
Houstoneb4bobby - mesmerizing - I've got CDs, LPs and sheet music.
Mariah Carey - A rare jewel.
LIZA - one of a kind. Stage presence, range, projection. LOVE HER.....
Yes Well Babs also made the statement at some awards..sm
to the effect... "The only regret I have in life is that none of my children were gay".... which obliterated any idea I may have had of her intelligence.... I am far from anti-gay, have many gay friends... relatives .... but the statement was without intelligence or common sense for that matter... and really no purpose other than drawing attention to a heated issue..... Celine has one of a kind ... flawless voice..
This old babe says Babs by 100-fold! The Way We Were, Ave Maria, Memories, Enough is Enough..nm
s
Babs has a nasal voice. Never did care for her, even in her *prime*. nm
Even in Bab's youth, Celine blows her A-WAY!
Yes, turning Celine OFF works even better! LOL
Celine. I'd love to see her Vegas show.
I only started listening to her about a year ago, but I've got several CDs that I play while transcribing.
Barbara can sing - Celine yells and shouts- nm

Celine, although excellent, will always be a pretender to the throne compared to Ms Streisand. :) nm

Try turning the volume down, it works. Celine is superior by far. No contest. NM
He wrote the song, but it was sung by Celine Dion...around 1996 I think. nm

Do not miss Celine Dion. The best show ever. Her voice is incredible.
I was not a die-hard fan until I saw her show. It was breathtaking.. We got to Vegas 2-4 times a year and I never get tired of going and there is always something going on.
Are you joking?nm

You are joking, right!
Calcaneocuboid joint and talofibular joint is correct and has been correct for the past 30 years I am doing this. We didn't call them O connecting words for nothing.
No I am not joking
Work for a company right now who has lots of accounts with NO ESLs....however I am tired of no paycheck on time and the excuse of the clients not paying so they can't pay us for the work we have done.
Are you joking or serious?
If serious, would you like to share?
Please tell me you are joking!

I really was joking
when I posed it as a question. It's amazing the stuff the docs say, that we're supposed to catch. And more amazing is that if I had typed it without questioning, he signed the report without actually reading it and catching the error, which of us do you think would be in more trouble?
the thing is, I'm not joking
The most wonderful room I ever painted had three very light robin's egg blue walls, one very pastel mint wall, and a raspberry racing stripe of varying widths. The room made everyone smile - the colors shifted as the sun changed position - I loved it!
naw...you must be joking *ROFL....SM
Of course more than just gay people have AIDS/HIV........sheesh -
I was specifically talking about the GAY community going to Mexico in the early 1980s.........nobody else.
I WAS only joking, I'm a yr older than U..sm
Sorry if I offended you, I was joking because I'm older and I do read many blogger sites of much older, more journalistic type writers, and famous people who are also bloggers.
Again, sorry for any offense taken, none was meant! 
I think she was joking? ageist like sexist maybe? (nm)
c
I would tell her this and not be joking, but show her some frustration
I would tell her that the clients are not going to pay for jobs that are not turned in when they are supposed to be turned in and that you need someone that is going to transcribe the reports and have them turned in on time because you are losing money paying her to transcribe reports that the clients are not going to pay for because they are late. Surely, she will understand. Either she has the jobs returned on time or you are going to have to let the client go or hire someone else to transcribe and return the jobs in on time and if she keeps it up, tell her that you lost the account because of jobs being turned in late and that you do not have any other clients available for her to transcribe.
You're joking, right? That was WWII, read your history books.

You have to be joking. That lady is a complete basket case.

I hope you are joking or you meant 600 lines per hour.

Get involved? With AAMT? You've got to be joking. What an incredible waste of time.
It wasn't ALL that and it was expensive no matter. I'm sick of hearing the same old blather and seeing NO change that benefits AMERICAN MTs. I'm in California so it was nothing for me to hop from the mainland, but EVERYTHING on the Hawaiian Islands is expensive. Of course, the Modesto Mavens were there in all their AAMT glory. Can you say PUKE? Sorry, but that's the way I feel about it. I went to see if anything had changed, REALLY changed, and most of it was a big bunch of double talk. Oh, and to think that I actually thought that I might interject in conversation! Boy, was I wrong. I'll never attend another AAMT convention again in my life. What a waste of time and money.
I was joking, cause the poster I responded to made a HUGE typo in a tiny sentence!
would like to believe, MYSELF included! Lighten up!
For Pete's sake, you're not terminating a pregnancy, you're just typing a report after the
It's already been done before you even hear about it, and NOTHING changes regardless of whether you or someone else types it. Sheesh.
It's not funny when you're on a board where language is one skill you're selling.

Hope you're gonna have a glass of wine while you're relaxing
in your spa goodies. Congrats!
Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
If you're experienced, try for 9cpl or higher, and you're lucky to get that! nm

Skip it. No one cares. Either you're good on the test or you're not.

You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.
You're not going to find a word expander for free. You're going to have to pay

You're forgetting all the stuff you can't buy when you're UNEMPLOYED!
Unemployed people have a hard time buying anything, including cheaply made offshore products. How many will have to end up depending on public assistance? That means more tax dollars being eaten up - besides the taxes NOT being collected from the overseas workers. In the long run, are you really enjoying a lower price?
If you're on the job, ask for samples to do it how they want it. If you're testing, separate o

You're not losing it, you're burned out on your main job.
I feel for you... I am having my own "version" ;-) of these kinds of struggles. Lots of recent changes at the admin level have made my job do a 180, going from a really great one to a really crappy one.
For me, it's a struggle to get through the day with a shred of motivation. I get distracted in the way you discuss as well.
I just try to make my environment as comfortable as possible and make the best of it while I decide what the best way is to deal with the burnout... I figure if I can't change my inner brain workings so that I still like this job, I need to find another one, or this feeling will possibly get worse!
I hope it works out for you. Wish I had some better advice for you, but this really does look like burnout and extreme job dissatisfaction to me. We all wear it differently. Try to be good to yourself while you figure out a solution.
Don't know what you're complaint you're making with this post. sm
You stated in your original post that you don't want to work weekends or odd shifts. What is your definition of an odd shift? Second shift? Third shift? Sounds like you want to work M-F on days. Sounds kind of rigid to me. 
Personally I like second shift, so everyone working days means more work for me!

It's not because you're beautiful, it's because you're an IDIOT!
Does that make it any clearer for you??
YOU'RE A SACK OF CRAP!! YOU'RE NOT

I don't get it when husbands and wives *allow* the other to have money that THEY work for...just don't get it. Go buy the flippin' keyboard and tell him to take a hike! (To put it sweetly!)
Why is it the only expander you're permitted to use? How would any know what you're using?

If they're withholding taxes, you're not an IC.
As an IC, you should already be paying taxes. That said, the only benefit having them withhold FICA is that your Social Security/Medicare share will be less. Social Security is 15%; if you're an employee, you pay 7.5% and your employer pays 7.5%. As an IC, you pay 15%. Doing the math, 0.0925 would be your 0.10 minus 7.5%--the 0.0924 is just a tad less than you're making now.
We're out here (good MTs) but we're busy! sm
I don't recall ever taking an employment test where I wasn't offered a job. My MTSO does not even look at my work unless I happen to have a question or a blank, which happens maybe once in every 30 or so reports with an ESL. If you find a really good MT, how much training would be involved? Certainly you would save time in the long run once they're trained and you don't have to check all their work.
