Post jokes and comedy on Comedy board. (NM)
Goldbird
Comedy board is for LOL!

Are we not allowed to post jokes on the board now?
It was a simple question, actually an oxymoron, "a casket coming with a lifetime warranty?" 
Okay, Top Ten Reasons Why... posted on comedy board

This one is good.


I put a good one on the Comedy board. It might offend some!

I laugh at the comedy board not at a strike.
then get off of the porch.  You call this OP venting?  Cut me a break.  Sounds more like a cry for help.  Why don't you all find a new profession instead of wanting everything handed to you on a silver platter.  I find no humor in compromising patient care because someone wants to have a b***ch fit!!!  
Bloopers can be posted on the Comedy board.

Of course you can, but there is a board for that purpose. Feel free to post on the Comedy Stop.

Jokes should not be sent out to us MT's in

Waste of time to MT's. I think the supervisor should use more discretion in the use of company email. !


Had a mailbox full of jokes from supervior TODAY !


Maybe these jokes are more
HEY BIG FAT LOSER HERE ARE SOME JOKES MAYBE YOU WILL LIKE

What did one banana say to the other banana?

Answer: I find you a-pealing?

OR

What did one orange say to the other orange?

jokes in imail
I for sure, would be forwarding those right on to someone in corporate, maybe even under the Ask Frank site
My kids can tell better jokes than that

Thanks for the reminder that
Dennis Weaver was in that movie--what a thriller from Steven Spielberg. Dennis was very talented indeed.

I was also sorry to hear that Darren McGavin died. I loved watching "The Night Stalker" in high school.
Reminder (SM)

Thanks for the reminder ...
I am so embarrassed to admit that I like that show, and have watched it since the beginning!
reminder yourself of....
the fact you don't have to get up and leave the house every day, get dressed, go out in all weather, put up with coworkers who can't see past their nose, for starters.
5 jokes in my company email as of 7 p.m.

I agree that this is improper use of email, especially by our superiors !


My imail keeps telling me that I am 98% full, and need to delete messages without jokes being sent to fill up my mailbox, too. What would happen if all of us MQ MT's began sending out jokes via MQ COMPANY EMAIL. I don't think that would set well with MGMT ! We just don't have time to read jokes via company email. We are struggling to get in our lines in order to pay our light bills, etc.


Personally, I would prefer to only receive WORK-RELATED emails from my supervisor. I would prefer to read the jokes on my own time and of a subject of which I choose to read jokes about. It is just not what I want to do when I sit down to work -- read JOKES in emails from my supervisor.

Hey, you're supposed to put jokes
on the comedy stop board.
The Comedy Stop !!
There's some funny stuff over there.  It's good to have a comedic break now and then.      
i needed that reminder too, thanks

Nothing like a reminder that they outsource.

Reminder of why we love this job!!

Hi everyone - I have seen some posts recently about burnout - I got it after 9 years myself - went back to secretarial work at a hospital.  Thought it was great for about 6 months - could balance my checkbook, have lunch with co-workers, had a reason to get dressed up and get out of the house every day....except that there was a 45 minute commute each way a.m. and p.m. - because of the parking situation, which added 20 minutes each way.  And the fact that I could never run any errands or make any doctors appointments.


Oh, and the fact that when my children were sick 3 days in a 7 month period I got called in to my boss' office and chewed out for not having someone else available to watch my sick children.  Oh, and the office politics, let's not forget those. 


Soo.....as transcriptionists, we get to use our brains and work hard, but we also have so much more flexibility.  We can have the laundry going while we work!  When we do a good job and get more work done, we make more money!  If we are 5 minutes late to work, we don't get "written up" for it.  We aren't treated like high school kids!  It's great!  I am giving my notice.  I can't wait to get back to the job that I once felt so burned out on!  I have a whole new perspective and a whole new appreciation for my "old" job.  I can't wait!!


It is a good reminder
Not just this board but others as well.  If you belong to another board, just Google your screen name and see what comes up.  I have been a part of parenting boards, in-law boards and I used to post but quit.  Not just because of the rudeness of other members, but mainly because I don’t know who could be reading.  If you write things out of anger, maybe the next day, the next week or even the next year, you may not feel that way anymore but it is still there on the web.   If that person you wrote about stumbled across that, put two and two together..well old wounds can be reopened  I just quit writing personal stuff on the web all together.  I think it is best to go to a close trusting friend or even a shrink for stuff like that. 
jokes on you busy-body MT. hahaha.
really can we get someone to look into busy MT's background before she receives one more report to transcribe regarding her unfortunate habit of psychopathic lying and associated protesting too much on MT boards? Who knows what lurks IN this deviant mind?
standup comedy....My magnet says...sm
I have a magnet on my fridge that says:  If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.  *LOL*
LOL. And some kind of comedy competition soon too!!! nm.

LOL. You're right. It's been a while since I watched SNL. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for the reminder, will paste it on my desk! nm

There is truth behind every joke anyway so if someone jokes about something and finds it funny

their true feelings show.  I don't think the dumb-a$$ male is all that funny and I guess it's because most males I know are pretty smart so of course I wouldn't post "jokes" like the OP.  That's why I think OP did not really respect men and found humerous truth in the "joke."


I get offended by blonde jokes. They're not funny at all.

Especially, after hearing them over and over again from people who think they're being "clever".  In addition, I don't know how many times people have told me to prove that I'm a real blonde.  Like they can't tell from my eyebrows.  Duh, really funny and so original.  I've never heard that one before.


We blondes do have to overcome the stereotype.  People think we're stupid or promiscuous just because we're blonde.  Scoff all you want to, but it's true.  No, we don't have it as tough as minorities do at all, but nobody ever takes us seriously either.  I'd give examples of real life discrimination and harrassment in the workplace, but why bother?  Everyone just thinks they're being funny or clever.


You're right - TV comedy had Phyllis Diller, - sm
comedy readers had Erma Bombeck, and we MT's have Hayseed!
:D
trailer parks have long been the but of jokes about the people who live in them.
You know that. If you choose to live in a trailer park that is certainly your right but sorry the stigma is there and I nor the OP created it. There was a running joke about Paula Jones (Clinton's "friend") being trailer park trash. Why? I don't know as I do not live in trailer park nor do I want to because I don't want the stigma. I was looking at property in North Carolina and there was no zoning regulation so the property was across the street from a trailer park which brought property values down. I am not making this up nor do I create it. It is what it is. Oh, BTW, there is a new show coming on MTV, a parody I think of the home improvement shows, where a gay biker type grit, tries to rehab trailer homes. Hilarious. Again, I didn't make it up nor stigmatize trailer parks. Someone took a concept of their idea of people and their trailer homes and ran with it. There is also the same idea in Blue Collar TV with Jeff Foxworthy on Comedy Channel.

Bottom line, there is a stigma to living in a trailer park and you have to learn to live with that. I personally can't live with the stigma and do not entertain the thought of moving to a trailer park. I think it would be hard on my kids to have that trailer park stigma on them as they enter school.
JUST A REMINDER - IT IS DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIMES

Desktop calendar with reminder options....
Does anyone use this?  With going back to school and 3 kidss and tons of appointments, I amm finding that using the old calendar on the wall isn't too safe anymore.  Given the fact that I amm tied to my desk most of the time, I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get a free desktop calendar that will warn me when something is scheduled that day, etc.  I know there is probably a way to do this, but I have no idea.  Any info would be appreciated.  I see the free downloadable calendars, but I amm afraid of those.  Does windows or microsoft office come equipped with this?  Again, any info appreciated.  TIA
Hey! Why did they delete the entire comedy folder from this site?
???
Just added a favorite funny to the Comedy Stop

It was popular in the 1990s, but I was able to find it again by googling.   I discovered that it is not a true story, which is disappointing, but just pretend it is.

cherrypicking co-worker issue (meant to post it on this board instead of MQ board) sm...

I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies.  Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...



We have one cherrypicker on the account.  Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course.  She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad. 



But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time.  I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.



What would you all do?  I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account.  In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.


My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....


Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&
Now go ahead and post your reply - I know you're dyin' to!
