Oh, my gosh! What a pathetic attitude...

In Reply to: Why is any state taking these jerks in? - My state is, actually my city is.

Those poor people need help!  What would you expect them to do?  They have lost EVERYTHING, and many of them didn't have much to begin with.  They can't go back to where they lived.  Most only have the clothes on their backs.  Shame on you.

isn't it just pathetic
Make a buck, make a buck.
Pathetic...
I can't wait to get out of this profession. When I hear someone like you say that you've been doing this for 19 years and you make 8 cpl and say that PROUDLY is just SAD.

Im sure these blood sucking companies who don't give a crap about their workers would LOVE you!
...pathetic.
.
What a pathetic person you are!
So, what you are saying is that the $20,000 that was donated is nothing? PUHLEEZ - If you do the math you big brain, that is enough money to give at least a few hundred families enough money to get food, clothes, and some well-needed necessities! Now, YOU go do the math! It is people like you that are such greedy SOBs and are not appreciative of anything. I know of a family that was displaced and I can guarantee you this - THEY know who is being generous and who is not. In my opinion MQ did what they could! Obviously NOBODY does more than they can - HELLO! You didn't clear your savings account and cash in on any stocks to send money did you? HECK NO!



I know. It's totally pathetic already
It would be comical if it weren't so tragic.  I have never seen anyone with such low self esteem.  She has to come on here and browbeat people who aren't even complaining.  Then she wants to brag(?) that she made $200 in NINE hours????   I do feel sorry for her, but I am getting really sick of listening to her venom.
You guys are pathetic
Can we just wait until we get the darn packet before we start crying like babies -ENOUGH ALREADY!
That's not funny, it's pathetic

What's really pathetic is how people who are so
of their own lives feel some sick kind of vindication and gratification from having the last word on an anonymous message board.

Okay, honey. Go ahead and have your little victory for the day. It's all you have, and I know you are just dying to post a reply!

LMAO

I have a life to lead. Have a good day, but thanks for the entertainment.
LOL!!!!!! Kinda pathetic that I have nothing better

My life is pathetic. *sm*

I work outside the home and I make a good wage/yearly income.  I took up medical transcription on the side in hopes that some day I could work from home.  I have to travel almost an hour to work each way and I live where we have major snow and ice storms and the older I get, the more anxiety I get about driving in this weather.  My husband hasn't been able to find a good job (he works about 30 hours a week at a dead-end job with no benefits) and I have a son in college.  I find that I work all the time with almost no social life.  I also have friends and relatives who seem to be working more than one job either both jobs outside the home or one job outside the home and then doing something on line.  No matter how much I work, I never seem to be able to get ahead and it scares me.  I do not have an extravagent home nor do I drive a newer vehicle.   What is wrong with us that we have to work more than one job to make a living and how am I going to face retirement?  I am thinking I will have to do medical transcription from home until I can no longer see and just pray that it is still around.  I never in a million years thought that my life would end up like this.  I should have listened to everyone when they said it was just as easy to marry a rich guy as it is a poor one.    


 


 


my life is pathetic
You sound so cruel in your reply. What if you had not found another man who was nice. What if you were still with your rich ex? I cannot believe that you would say such a cruel thing to this woman ESP. when you have been through the same experience yourself!! Not everyone gets a second chance to find a better person and/or life like you did. You need to apologize PROFUSELY to "my life is pathetic." I've had my "down" times, and as YOU should know, it is not easy to keep a happy face and have hope for the future. Again, you just got lucky; not ALL of us get that second "lucky" chance for a better life. Step back and take a look at yourself!!!!!
Pathetic. Outsider p.o.v.
The "anon" poster ended it yesterday and if you can tell who he/she is with the moniker of "anon" then good on ya. You look pathetic.
i agree, its pathetic
the mass generalizations. i never have understood it. Maybe i have been blessed enough to grow up near and know people of many races and cultures and i see the HUMAN in all of us. sure i have some prejudices, but its more toward those with massive tattoos, klaidoscope hair color etc, fhe things people choose for their appearance, not gender, skin color, age, etc.
you are SO mistaken and PATHETIC
I have worked for her for over 5 years and NEVER had a problem.

Guess going national to find decent transcriptionists is a mistake. All you do is slam, slam, slam. Pathetic bunch a lot of you are. You deserve stuggling with the huge companies and low work and crappy platforms and VR at half the pay.
pathetic refund back to CEO
you go girl!! tell him you want your postage reimbursed - haha!!
1. Me. 2. Me. 3. Me. 4. Me. 5. Me. Total # in household: 5. pathetic, huh? sm
Also, we have a total of 11 acres - 3 of which have to be cut. Our riding lawn mower broke in the spring, so guess who is out there pushing it? Yours truly.

If I don't do it, it doesn't get done....And I need things to be done for my own sanity. Can't stand a messy house.
That's pathetic that a hospital would pay for such work.
The hospital should be ashamed of themselves for hiring an offshore company.
You are pathetic. I make $35 an hour with
you would make some money.  Instead you want to stir up trouble and complain.  Why not look at what you DO have instead of what you DON'T have? The reason I am in MT is because I make $35 an hour and I can't make that anywhere else.  If you don't believe it, I don't care.  I'll go back to my work now and make some money, and you can sit on this board and b*tch and make nothing.  And it's your own fault!
I find it ridiculous and pathetic that somebody who
volunteers to give expert advice for free, like you, is being attacked by people who are less knowledgeable.
And that it comes to a point that these experts have to 'apologize' for being so knowledgeable, instead to be thanked for their advice and help.

Your writing style, grammar, spelling, punctuation, all are of highest caliber, I congratulate you for this.

And I have never spotted a typo! (I might have missed one, but I do not think so).

Please keep on giving us your expert advice, thank you!
How ridiculous and pathetic, rather slupid!...
Go and drown yourself in drugs and medicaments, we'll see who bites the dust first!

Another Xanax-druggie?!

This really is pathetic. 5 years ago I started out with .07 and they are still only paying that?

You're really looking pathetic here. Notice how everyone thinks so? Move on. nm

OH MY GOSH!! sm
Unbelievable!  See what I mean about my experience versus your experience?  TransTech absolutely has the most knowledgeable and nicest techs I've ever worked with and believe me, I've worked with A LOT.
Gosh, is this about you? nm
~~
Oh gosh! May I ask.....
how you found that info out?  I hit their web site and it made no mention of anything off shore related.......  ID like to know how to find that stuff out on my own! 
Gosh - thank you all so much! (sm)

I am very grateful to those who took the time to graciously answer my question.  I am now armed with information and dangerous!  Won't be getting this particular office to jump on board in the near future, though.  I just found out that they don't even have access to the internet.  Thanks again!  Loo 


 


 


OH MY GOSH!

I sure hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine!!!  Make sure you can send it back if you are not 100% delighted! 


Let me know how it goes.


oh my gosh, I had one just the other
day. It was a consult and was 98 minutes long, yes 98 minutes. Well after typing for 3 minutes I was "put on hold" and got to listen to crappy music. I did short forwards for a bit and then just went to the end of the 98 minutes and did a few backwards and, sure enough, it was all music; 3 minutes of typing and 95 minutes of crappy music!!
Oh my gosh ne!

I was just reading your thread about the C-phone and lost dictation and saw what you went through 2 years ago.  I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry.  I'm glad that you and your sons are okay.  I can't imagine going through what you are.


Although I know nothing about C-phone, work gets lost all the time and work can be reassigned, I'm sure.  Please don't be so hard on yourself.  Hang in there.


 


OH MY GOSH, THANK YOU
I really needed to hear that today. My job is so low paying and so thankless and I am very conscientious so even to get a thank you from a stranger is touching me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Oh my Gosh!!!

Oh my gosh, its not just me!! I used to
love to stop by MT chat about once a week, to browse all the great and informative posts, knowing I would never see the trolling and ego bashing that runs prevalent here.  I was SHOCKED to see just a few old timers over there now, just about blocking every poster who dared ask a question or make a comment.  Smashed!! I don't know where the usual mods are, but its very obvious and I am avoiding that place now like the plaque. Always expected more class and better behavior over there.  Guess I have to pay for mT daily?  So sad.
Oh my gosh; we get it already.

Oh my gosh...THANKS!!!

Gosh...I have so many...
But here are a few that really bug me most of all:

"...contemporaneously read by me..."

"Subsequently however."

"Otherwise again as well the patient had XYZ as well."

Let me not forget these beauties:
"has got"
"has also"
"was subsequently was"
"primarily secondary"

I guess if your doc can start every sentence with "at this moment" then I should let mine say "at this point here in the emergency room upon arrival..." lol
Oh my gosh, yes!!!!

Back in 1981 when I graduated from high school I went to the local technical school (now community college) and went to secretarial school.  Yes, they called us secretaries then.  When I graduated the program I got hired by the school in their word processing lab.  They had a word processing program that taught the different WP machines then - Wang, Dictaphone, Lanier, Radion.  Some of them had the big floppies, and those were the bomb.  The Radion still used the old tapes.  We got one of the new IBM word processing machines - can't remember the name - and boy, were we the schnitz!!!!! 


I remember vividly a conversation I had with someone.  I told them that in 5 years those machines were going to be obsolete because of this new fangled invention called a personal computer that had just come out that could be programmed with different stuff, not just word processing.


 


Gosh no
I had enough of that all winter! I'm thankfully beginning to perk up, but we don't have snow here.... flowers blooming, 60-degree weather, fruit trees blooming. I will keep you all in my prayers and hope your mood gets better very soon. It is so hard to do this job and deal with depression!
Gosh, at what point will it be enough? sm
You'll have costs that go with that amount of work --- loss of energy, loss of family/friend time, actual wear and tear on your physical self, etc.

You need to decide what is enough and then live by it.

My opinion, anyway.
Gosh, I don't know but that was not the point

of this post.   Yes, I have had to deal with "customer service" reps at different times and usually they seem to have an Indian accent and, quite honestly, I will NOT waste my time trying to understand them.....If I have to take my time to just try to understand what they are saying I tell them straight out "I cannot understand a word you are saying and please let me speak to someone that has more command of the English language"......that usually does work! 


And of course, it is very difficult for people to change their accents.  I would think that most Americans are able to understand most "accents" here in the U.S. including New Yorkers, Bostonians and even us good ole southerners!!!!  English, the last time I looked, was the official language of our country.  It is frustrating enough now a'days to have to stay on hold for up to 30 minutes for a service call but THEN to have to speak with someone you can't even understand is just ridiculous!  This is only common sense....think about it!  Changes must be made for the better and, believe, it will happen when the American people have had all they can take...and the time is soon! 


Good gosh!
I love this platform as well, but NEVER EVER came close to your line count! That is absolutely insane! Please share what account(s) you work on and what office you work for.

PS - Do you or have you ever had carpal tunnel?!?!?!?!
Oh, my gosh! This is GREAT!!!...
I think I'm going to like this better than Sylcount!!!  It looks terrific! 
Oh gosh, I have too - and beer. nm

gosh, who are you talking about?
sounds like a management problem. not greedy mt.
Gosh, you must be one of the greedy MTs

Oh, my gosh! That is too funny!

Great way to start off a Monday! 


I have an ESL who takes the 's' out of effusion.  Took me forever to figure out what he was saying because "pleural" wasn't coming out very recognizable, either!   Gotta love this job!


Oh, my gosh. That is too funny. I
"my original words of wisdom about judging"
Gosh, you really should get some sleep
I always fear I will make an error when I am feverish and sleepy. I think the boss would understand. The symptoms will subside more quickly more likely if you get plenty of rest. Also, less chance of secondary bacterial infection in the lungs. You may want an antibiotic with strep. But, you be the judge.
Oh my gosh! You're right! sm
I had no trouble reading that post.  That's so funny!
oh gosh, that is definitely not the case
the terminology were very, very easy. That I can absolutely post and say with confidence. It was the way the doctor jumped around in his dictation and stating "put this here" "put that there" I didn't know what was a heading and what wasn't. His reports were 5 pages long. But the terminology was EASY. NO QUESTION about it.
Gosh, took me at LEAST 6 months
of 40+ hours a week to even start feeling mildly comfortable with the whole thing.  Even now, if I try to learn a new account, I get butterflies in my gut worried I'm gonna muck something up and tend to go a lot slower and double or even triple check everything....but that's just my personality about everything in my life in general.  I'm a freak like that ;-)
