You sound like a bitter, jealous, uneducated female.
Sorry, but I've been married to a blue collar man who beat the living crap out of me and destroyed my life in every way he possibly could. Turned my own mother against me, took my kids, laughed when I got cancer.

I am now married to a lawyer who treats me like a queen. It's wonderful to live a stress-free, hate-free existance and my kids and my mom have finally come around so I'm looking forward to a wonderful holiday for the first time in 6 years.

However, I would never say that ALL blue collar men are abusive, drunk, lazy slobs like my ex-husband is. That's generalizing and that's not fair, and certainly not correct.

I also wouldn't say that all corporate executives are perfect men either. That is also generalizing.

You don't sound like a prize yourself with your judgmental nature, dear. Time to take a step back and do some self-evaluation and perhaps get some therapy.
You sure sound like an "angry, hateful, bitter old bigot" in posts above!!

You're sounding bitter about your cubicle.
Be happy for her, be envious of her (I know I am), but bitter is unbecoming a professional.
Geez, you're really getting close to the line of sounding bitter.
May I suggest some counseling? The OP asked an innocent question and you took it like a personal attack against you.

I've been a single parent and mind you I know how hard it is to be in that situation, but if someone asks a simple question like "what does your spouse do" most people who don't have a SO at the moment would have moved on to another thread and never given it a second thought.

Seriously, time to do some self-searching.
I must say that you do indeed sound like you're one of the 'good guys'...

From MT to QA, thank you for all of the good work that you do.  Know that you are appreciated.  When you send one of us constructive feedback that enables us to continue to train our ear it makes us a better MT and motivates us to try even harder the next time. 


We need more of your kind in this industry.  It's QA's like you who create a better environment for growth and preserving the integrity of the patient document. 


Thank you again.


You're welcome. I am just so sick and tired of factless sound bites

If they're tight enough, hang them in front of or behind your ears. Sound is conducted through
s
? I don't know what that little square is -
.h
magnifying square following you around.
Do you by chance have a cordless mouse with little buttons on the side? I have one of those and that happens when I hit them by mistake.They are right where your thumb sits when you use the mouse. Usually I just double click the buttons and it goes away.
Start at square 1. See if you can determine where the
noise is. Your computer has at least 3 fans in it. There is one near the hard drive, one on the motherboard in front of a little "box", and one on the power supply. You may have more, dependng on type of computer. They are all essential and are not that expensive to replace, but not replacing them can burn up your entire computer. The one on the power supply would require that you change out the entire power supply, but that is not hard to do, either, cost is usually less than $50.
1000 square feet?
I can't imagine living in such a cramped space! Why, our master bedroom suite alone is 850 square feet!


Romey, some docs will say square meters
meters squared, but it's all the same. The reason you would write 400 mg/sq m this way is because the slash mark stands for "per." If the slash mark was between the sq and m, you'd have square per meter. Now that doesn't make sense, right?
My CPA deducts the square footage of my home office and has for 12 years. HTH..nm

Cross stitch kits, square lap looms for crocheted afghans.
Not that I have time.
Not defensive, trying to help you. LOL
I just read it and if it doesn't apply to me I keep moving right on!

It doesn't sound like you are able to even discuss it without posturing a bit.

Relax. If you're not doing anything wrong, why be upset?!
lol A little defensive, are we?! lol
your post sounded as if you were encouraging parents to use allowances to their kids as a tax scam. It DOES read that way.

Anyway, what's up with your comment about you not having kids, parents not paying taxes, and expecting others to pay for their education? ROFL

It doesn't sound like you have a great retirement, Patti. It sounds like you are very bitter and if it rains you risk drowning with that nose so high in the air!

It should be pointed out to you that those having children are the reason the country continues -- if everyone were like you about having children, this country would dry up and blow away! LOL

Great retirement? LOL Yeah, I just bet you do!!


Awfully defensive...
for someone who feels so great about what she did, aren't you?! just me is correct in her statement of what comes around goes around. You should keep a watchful eye behind you...cuz it'll happen to you some day too!
And YOU are a tad too defensive
Where there's smoke...

Well, you know the rest of that expression if you're American, right?

;-)
Why are you defensive? No one called your name
and again, there are plenty here who state they want to stay at home with their children, not loving this profession but way to hold kindergarten while you work, I guess. You are a newbie, you stated, so you really have no idea basically of how this profession has progressed over the years. It has not gone up, rather down.
I'm not defensive at all. I think people who call
others fools because they can't appreciate humor or don't like their views are the people who are missing the point and can't see anything but their sorry situation. When you sit in judgement of others from your high horse of course you can't find humor or anything else.  Really get over yourself or crawl back into your imagination where you are queen. 
your defensive posts of this admin = the most..
.
Not defensive at all, but if you read the post,
:negative reinforcement:, to me that reads abuse. I just want to make it very clear I have never abuse any of my pets. That's all. I am not trying to be defensive at all and apologize if that is the way it was taken.
your post sounds kind of defensive and gay.
get over it.
Defensive people make the most errors
I bet... if you are good you would be quiet, if you are a bad MT you will blast poor QA lady all day.
ridiculous blanket statement about defensive
so not true - where DO you get your information from that defensive people make lots of errors....hmmmm?  Are you one of those  psychobabble psychologists?   
Your response sounded angry, defensive and judgmental
you gave for "walking away from the rat race." I don't buy it. I've had tough times in my life too, probably as tough as yours. It's your choice. You can either work harder and refuse to accept crap for yourself or you can get angry and bitter, which is what you've apparently done. If you're talking about turning in soda bottles for deposits, people are naturally going to deduct from that that you are or have been poor. You said it, I didn't. So if you choose to "give up," that's up to you. I chose to make something of myself nomatter what or how long it took. Read Plato's "The Republic." It's the difference between Gold, Silver and Bronze.
Not bitter one bit. (sm)

Just showing the other side of it. I'm trying to point out an employer can expect a few oddball resumes from people grossly underqualified and even those new to the whole process of presenting oneself in resume-style dossier. In the same way, potential applicants can find that the drummed-up company names and profiles for a job posting at any website, in any newspaper, anywhere can be nothing but an e-mail dress and/or fax number of someone trying to subcontract work they are subcontracting from someone else...or worse.


What is unacceptable is when companies tout themselves as major players in the medical transcription field, or demand certain professional standards from their applicants, but cannot get their act together to perform professional, honest and effective interview/testing/hiring sessions. It just helps MTs to identify the people who lack respect for their time and efforts as an applicant, as those MTs can expect the same after being hired.


Yep. And it is a bitter cup.

Because they are bitter that they can't. lol
oo
Bitter
You certainly are one bitter woman. If you would have read what I said - I DID say I was making 4 cents less a line than I was making 20 years ago. I don't think you can read.
Thank GAWD no one has to deal with you personally..you are rude, inconsiderate, unpolite, defensive
Geesh lady!!
This post made you defensive, just like those e-mail nastygrams make us feel.
x
Thank you. I think this is just a bitter person
trying to cause more bitterness. I feel sorry for them.


Actually I did go to college and I'm not bitter at all....sm
Just realistic, as I said. Obviously you've not found the right company - there are out there, believe me. But the previous poster did say it correctly - if you were working in an office with your degree, you couldn't just jump up and run. An MTSO or company has a business to run, too. I schedule my appointments after my working hours - pretty simple it seems to me.
well, now I know why you are a bitter, name-calling person.
nuff said
When I began 15 yrs ago, people were bitter. I
aa
I have posted on this subject, bitter?
Oh, no, I could take now but I am 1 year short of full and it would be crazy to have Uncle Sam taking my money any more than he does know. I got the information up front- I know how much I will be getting when I do take my money, I know how much I get on a retirement account. Not bitter, just smart not to retire before I want to!
I must be a bitter MT..Check out the ad on job seeker's

Obviously Indian-based, but they want to train you to be an MT..check this part out..


Transcription is fun for the right person as it allows you to write and if you love to write, then it is an enjoyable career. Some people who do not like writing because they are not creative still enjoy this medical online profession. Even people who hate writing like this profession because it allows for working at home on a flexible schedule.


OKAY.. what planet are they from..Since when is transcription fun LOL...and I'm sure glad it lets me write whatever I want, because I just love to write..LOL and I get to use my creative ability also to write whatever I like. People who hate MT-ing just do because they hate to write and are not creative LOL. I'm sorry but this just cracked me up. I've thought a lot of things about transcription but FUN was never one of them. Lucky for me though, even though I don't like it, I get to stay at home and have a really flexible schedule..NOT.. lol...


 


Why so bitter?? Does the truth hurt? nm

What are you? A bitter old school marm? Hahaha
All your "PAY ATTENTION" posts. Hahaha

geez you guys are bitter. Maybe she's trying to lighten

Maybe she just has a fun personality?


And with this awful bitter cold weather
going ballistic on the drivers when they do return!
Why does it seem that all divorced women are so bitter? It is not ALL men that are rats. You just
found one that was.
I'm not bitter. I've been remarried to a wonderful for 13-1/2 yrs.

Your tone sounds 100% whining and bitter.
That's why I call your posts whining and bitter! The other poster stated her case in a mature way, using stats as her back up. No whining, no bitterness. I have not formed an opinion on the AAMT either way to date, but am leaning more pro-AAMT by just the style of postings - those supporting it come off as calm, professional, and mature, while those not supporting it sound emotional, bitter, and whining. Just my opine and reaction to the posts!! Debate much? Its a great skill, and long lost in America...
who really cares? personable, angry, bitter, just do your work.
I don't really know the purpose of a supervisor so I guess I don't really care what their tone is. I have been through MANY supervisors. I don't really care about their tone. I do my work no matter what they say or do.
Bitter? I think the recruiter/owner had some valid points. nm

Explaining my occasional bitter-/crankiness
I confess, I am one of those that will occasionally toss a snide comment in. I don't think I have ever gotten to the point of being brutally mean, but I have been snippy. And it may be petty and it may be unnecessary, but, in my case anyway, it stems from a frustration when obvious newbs post a question that at least in my mind seems simplistic (based on the s/l they are able to provide) and should either be a common knowledge type thing or else easily findable. After a day of plodding through ESLs, rapid-fire dictators, or reports that have more chromosome testing than I have chromosomes, I do get a little cranky when someone who probably only makes $50 less a week than I do posts on here asking what 'conjecture hard fail your' might be and respond in a somewhat less than mature way.
Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?

I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers.  Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer.  Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card?  Did it make a difference. 


Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you.  You have helped me many times. 


You do sound FAT, but you don't sound RICh.
Go live in Iraq or something.
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.
