Why should I take a Xanax in the middle

Posted By: Jan on 2009-03-09
In Reply to: Your post was rude... - MT

of the DAY when I am working?
Xanax is to be taken before 'crawling' into bed, it makes you fall asleep. Do you still not get it?

OMG, are you taking Xanax in the middle of the day when you are supposed to MTing? I bet you fall asleep in the middle of the day and then you cannot sleep during the night. Then you take another one, oh me oh my, you do not even follow doctors' instructions.

And one should definitely NOT DRIVE after having taken XANAX, it makes you drowsy and abstain from alcohol.

All things you do not know!
Scary!

READ THE LABEL ON THE BOTTLE!

Wow! This is toooooo much!

    thank you, XanaX
    I have decided not to take that job.  Maybe it's time to get out of MTing altogether as all the companies nowadays seem to be disreputable.  Is there no company out there like it used to be????
    Take your Xanax
    First off I stated I do not read these boards but about once a month, and only then new posts, recent stuff going on. Again, sorry I did not pick the exact day this company had bad posts. What I did state was that I was looking around and found this site advertised in my local paper, and then I said I had no interest in the company for myself (which was because they only seemed interested in training newbies). I only passed on the info to the newbies on this board to be HELPFUL. THEY are totally responsible for doing their own research/homework on any company listed on this board, not me. That probably means searching the archives, checking BBB, etc. I do NOT do homework for others, I only put out the possible lead. If I were to do this for everyone before I post, I would have a business of my own wouldn't I?? I am in no way recommending this company. Show me where I was doing that in my post. Bottom line, I have no due diligence to anyone on this board as far as backing up what I post. I openly stated I knew nothing about this company, meaning what? Yep, exactly. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. See if I ever try to pass on any info again, whether helpful or not!

    Actually from your post it sounds as if YOU were scammed by TransSCAM! LOL, sure does since you are so passionate about it. Sorry you were scammed, if you were....
    prozac is not XanaX

    Thanks for the credit, but there are more than one of us out there who were treated unjustly at FN.  If the truth hurts--- Me think thou doth protest too much.


    I agree with Xanax
    I started work with VTS 2 weeks ago and they have been great. It seems like a very good company to work for. I was off 100% QA in just over a week.
    Xanax - I was told even if I forget to put QA
    hold on, my settings were set to 100% QA. I have not worked for them in about 2 weeks and do not intend to do any more with them, but my friend is still there and V just sent them an note stating that they no longer will be on 100% QA, but she was on for 15 months.
    Good grief, take a Xanax.

    I SO hear you.. I'll contact Ms. Xanax for you.
    .
    Don't think she gets it, she is just so uptight about Xanax...give her a few more years...sm
    then she might actually relax enough to understand when a joke is made and not go off the deep end.  The really sad thing is, this is not the only board she has made the Xanax comments about.  Get real Jan, or maybe it's mar, that's who she reminds me of. 
    I'm beginning to suspect it's the Xanax Express n/m
    x
    I'll place a call to my buddy Ms. XanaX.
    .
    Thank you, I am young. Do NOT drink alcohol if you take Xanax, dummy..
    MT advanced to a recruiter, LMAO !

    Middle of the pack - per se! sm
    Not the worst, but certainly not one of the better companies. Good luck.
    60K middle income?
    Heck, I work for a small community hosp as employee making $35K, which is middle income in rural WI. 
    Its odd, but they are basically a middle man, which
    I personally didn't like. It was frustrating at times. Also, in my experience, we got the bottom of the barrel work from the hospital, even more than usual for a national. The pay was low at 8 cpl, which I understand is still the current pay, so I'm sure DiskR gets a big hunk of what the hospital is really paying. Obviously, I know, its business, but it seemed odder than the usual set up of working for a national. I found it would have been more pleasant just working for the hospital, because you are 100% an employee of the hospital and not Diskriter. I just did not care for the whole atmosphere, lots of cherry picking and more than usual politics, but nobody really to turn to, as the hospital didn't want to know from beans, and DR had its own issues. Very  much a stuck in the middle feeling...but not a good one.
    Middle ground
    I know how you feel.  Many of us are taking antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications.  I'll bet our collective plight has done wonders for the pharmaceutical industry's profit margin.  I can't tell you what to do, but it won't hurt you to look around and you likely can find a better employee situation with better benefits.  Taking action is a good antidepressant as well.  Try not to be in a slump.  Stay active and proactive.  I know it's easier said than done. 
    There is a not enough of a middle class to keep

    Paranoia is my middle name...
    I don't work for the company you're talking about, but in addition to Tech Support Guy's very valuable advice down below, I would add this thought:

    If you are working as an independent contractor on equipment that you provide yourself, I would strongly encourage you to perform your WORK ONLY on a separate computer from your personal activities - emailing, websurfing, gaming, Netflix, whatever.

    This will actually serve 2 very useful purposes:

    1) You won't have to worry about accidentally wiping out your work computer (and means to earn your living) with a random virus caught via email.

    2) You won't have to worry about your general contractor snooping around on your personal computer - they won't have access to it in any way, shape or form to start with!

    Wal-Mart, Target, and other places are selling small netbook computers that still run Windows XP on them for under $400, and in some cases under $250. You can hook one of those up to a full size keyboard, and even a full size monitor if you can't work with an 8.9' screen.

    Isn't peace of mind worth less than $400?
    I was in the middle of training...

    I was paid during training and on-time which is another plus for me.  You can read through my post and pick it apart all you want, but the endorsement is there from me personally experiencing the hiring process.  It was quick, easy, and I was offered a good line rate.  You can believe what you want.  I didn't enjoy anything about the death in my family for your smart alecky information; it was my mother who died.


    What's the point of your post anyway?  to tell me I am a liar???? 


    Transcend offered me my specialty and yes I was training on BeyondText and I was able to get my specialty as well and I was doing great until my Mom died and I had to tend to her affairs.  I didn't think it was fair to Transcend for me to go at as a half-wit at that point. 


    Transcend - good, bad, middle?
    Anyone care to comment? They have oncology work and it's my thang...
    disappearance of the middle class...
    actually, we have always been 'poor' so to speak, so all this stuff is not affecting us so much...

    I feel sorry for those who are now living like we are, only used to be considered well off; needing to cut back on spending, etc., noticing the pinch as the middle class gets squeezed more and more.

    the funny part will be when we have some type of revolution in THIS country, which will happen. history only repeats. you keep people down and they will revolt. america is only going to take so much of this loss of liberties and rights, and jobs, total abuse of power and money against the little guy, etc.
    You mean WebMdx in the middle there, don't ya? And biggest co. does not mean best,
    s
    Not the worst, but toward the lower end of the middle.
    I was paid late/wrong often. I always tell people if you can afford to be paid late, then it's an okay place to work. If you rely on them being on time and accurate, go elsewhere.

    Several of the shift leads are very nice. However, one never answers you because she's busy looking like the production queen. One had more drama than Jerry Springer. The owner answers you when she feels like it or not at all. My training on my account consisted of me doing 3 notes and then I was on my own. I was told I couldn't pend to verify information if it didn't cause more than one blank. I like being left alone to type, but I like to be comfortable with the account as well.

    So it isn't the worst company out there but it certainly is not the best.
    I'm in the middle of taking the test myself
    and I am so relieved to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing significant trouble! I have 10 years' experience, but that is useless when dealing with this quality (or lack thereof) of dictation!
    Giggling at middle finger LOL

    Not all the middle managers have everyone's email
    I personally thought it was nice of the person to answer the questions people were having.

    Don't know why it would bother you; the messages are clearly marked, if it doesn't interest you you can pass it by.

    That wasn't me. I just dove into the middle of the melee for fun.

    Lots of middle eastern and asians in BC....
    it's interesting to visit there. Very cosmopolitan. However, where a company is located doesn't mean much. I almost went to work for a company that was located here in the States, but was clearly Indian owned and run and had other Indian holdings involved when I did some deep searching. Not my cup of tea.
    sorry, meant to say "say", its the middle of the night here

    you are ignorant and stuck in the Middle Ages...
    VR is not always bad, the bad is that the pay is much, much too low. It should pay the same as straight.
    Most doctors now are from the Middle East or India
    so you know they are not going to take these holidays. The Jewish are more involved in financing and banking now.

    There is still a demand for graveyard shift plumbers, just as there is a demand for MTs with 'odd' hours, etc. Both just have to find the complementary company.
    Amen - Haven't seen "SO THERE" since middle school!!!
    Probably was sticking out her tongue after she typed that, too. Sad.
    Not really. The middle class is necessary - to support the welfare people and to pick up the slack f
