You need to go back inhouse is you want or expect that. sm

Posted By: different world on 2006-11-12
In Reply to: When I said "deserve" I meant we deserved it just as much as the MTs in house. sm - me

Problem is, as you know, inhouse has now gone to a company.  "Deserve"' has nothing to do with anything out here.  If you think so, I invite you, form a union. 


Until we have anything near to that. you sign a contract, or no contract, and you agree to cover certain hours, on certain days.  That is the way it is.

Inhouse vs IC
I own my own MT business, but before I took the plunge, I worked at home as an IC. The nice part about it is that my boss said that as long as you got your 8 hours in, you were good to go. I had a husband that worked part time and a son in school. I would work fin the morning until my husband got home (2ish). He and the son played on it until about 8:30. I got son and husband off to bed and then finished up my 8 hours. I had my best line counts from about 10-1 or 2 in the a.m. I liked the schedule because I could help at my son's school, have a doc appt, etc. Inhouse I could too but I would lose pay for it or have to use PTO. I think it just depends on your mindset. I didn't have a problem multi-tasking and still got my work done. It can be done, you just have to do what is best for you and your situation, not somebody else.
Inhouse

1.  Remember to put my teeth in.


2.  Take some of my grocery money to buy gifts for "secret pal."


3.  Learn to kiss up to my supervisor by babysitting her kids just like every one else does.


4.  Smile at the doctor standing in front of my computer dictating in person a report he just decided he forgot to do as a STAT.  Gently tell him to slow down a little bit so you can correctly spell the drugs.


5.  Get use to eating in the cafeteria instead of at my desk.


6.  Spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking for parties.


Thanks. I figure the one good thing is that their lab is inhouse so won't have to wait
for another company bogged down with labs from 10 other facilities.
See why working at home, and even covering some hours of holidays is better than inhouse?
We aren't able to keep track of the other office workers, build up resentment against them.  Love that inhouse stuff.
Do you expect...
that an adult who was never taught to shake it off as a child suddenly knows how to do it just because they've become "of age"? At what age do you suggest we teach people that suicide is their own responsibility instead of someone else's?
Did they say when we could expect this?
I could definitely use $1,800.
Well you know, it always happens when you least expect it but (sm)
But you have to at least be out there to ever meet anyone. If nothing else, there are men who like to have just email friends. There is a free dating site called plentyoffish you can go just check out. I have a newly divorced friend who has met some people to date on there. But there are always people who just want to talk also. Or maybe start out with a male walking buddy, something like that.
Why do people expect
You to do something for them, when they know there is no way in @#$% you can do it.

Why am I still here?
Sometimes it is necessary to explain what you expect
Sometimes it is necessary to explain what you expect. Maybe he will or cannot fulfill all your expectations. But maybe he'll learn and also, maybe, you will learn that all your expectation might not be fulfilled.

I'm sorry, but what do you expect the shelters to do? sm

I worked in an animal shelter for over two years.  We go a lot of feral cats in at the shelter.  If they were somewhat friendly, then yes we usually put them up for adoption under the title of "good barn cat."  If you can't get near them, then there really isn't anything to do BUT to put them down.  There is no use endangering the people at the shelters OR the other animals at the shelter with a cat that has been wild too long to tame.  JMHO, sorry if it irks you.  


Believe me, I am a HUGE animal lover (hence the reason I worked at the shelter for so long).  I don't like to see any animal suffering, but sometimes it is necessary.   


What do I expect the shelters to do?
I am not their boss so I can not say what I expect them to do, not up to me. I only do what I can do. I don’t know where you live but here the animals are not kept in so called shelter for 3 days, then put down. This place kills animals twice a week, mostly pits. I don’t take animals to shelters because here the outlook is very bleak for them. I do what I can helping out the furries. What the shelters do is not up to me. Where did you get the idea I expect the shelters to do anything??
Just don't expect a luxurious room unless you are sm
willing to pay big bucks.  Most hotel rooms in New York City are small.  The assumption is that people don't spend much time in them, but are out and about.  Plan on at least about $200 per night.  Maybe a little less if you book far in advance.
That is an extremely fair pay and I would expect
them to do a great job for that. I have had the same problem with them starting out good and then having to go behind them like you said. I would first start out clearly stating what you want done and that you expect a good job consistently, even 6 months down the line. That is what I've been telling everyone I've talked to is that I need a consistent job each time.
If you expect $60K to rain down from heaven think again

My Bible tells me that the Lord will provide (and has provided) for all of my needs, it does not say he will send money raining down for me whenever I get myself into excess debt.  Rest assured that the Lord will provide the faithful with all that they need and plenty of what they want.  It is your right to believe otherwise, but do not step on my Christian beliefs in the process. 


Luke 12:28, "If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?"


 


 


I think we expect that kids won't like veggies, and ....
I think that generally, in this country we do a very bad job of cooking vegetables. And, I think that we just generally expect that kids don't like vegetables. I grew up eating a Mediterranean diet. My grandparents and most of my neighbors were Italian immigrants. We lived in a part of NJ where you could grow just about anything. We had lots of fresh vegetables, lots of fish, and my grandmother made all of her pasta by hand with a combination of white flour and semolina. I don't think any vegetable was cooked longer than a minute or two, and there were always piles of vegetables at every meal. It was just part of the diet.

I have a Korean foster son, and he enjoys things like smoked squid legs and seaweed. It's just the normal diet for his culture. Kids in other countries eat all sorts of things that Americans consider ghastly. So, really, I think it's more just our culture. Americans tend to give kids more bland, smooth foods for a longer time, and then later, the fast food, high-sugar, high-fat culture kicks in. It's just so bad for all of us. I remember thinking that roasted peppers were the best thing in the world, and I clearly remember eating them for lunch when I was too young to go to school. I don't think you'd find too many American parents who'd consider roasted peppers toddler food! LOL

That's my theory, anyway.
Thanks both of you! I do expect to make some people mad (sm)
Don't really care. My enough button has finally been pushed!
I cannot stop laughing! You mean you actually expect me to SM

keep the SAME PICTURE???  LOL!   At least if I endure this today I have a slight CHANCE of a better one!!  


 


I live in PA. . . not sure of my options, but I'm headin' for the mirror right now to FIX STUFF!!!  


SORRY!!! That should read "these ARE inhouse positions, not home positions. sorry. nm

"If you expect less than perfection, that is what you'll get?"
That is pathetic.

Someone should report you.

Sorry to say it, but life doesn't always turn out how we would expect.
My DH and I have been home together for over a year now. We both lost our jobs, and we're both working part-time at home now. Sometimes we drive each other nuts and need a break. Sometimes it feels like we're joined at the hip. We often finish each other's sentences. Other times we just stare at each other because we have nothing new to discuss. It's definitely brought us closer instead of driving us apart. We have a lot of common interests, and we're motivating each other to pursue new career fields. We do take the time to get out of the house once in a while.

More and more people are working from home now. The problem is that the home worker needs to not isolate him/herself. Sounds like your DH has done that. Doesn't he have any friends or hobbies? Any outside interests?
I would expect your choice to go tonight and the reason?
It seems to me that anytime a contestant in any way wants to refute what a judge, especially Simon, has to say they do not last that much longer. I thought performance last night sounded off tune several times. I expect Danny to continue on as he is a big favorite with the fans. Adam, don't care for him and the rocker chick, not at all.
Public board. Expect many different kinds of posts.

What else would you expect in a state that brings you Hillary Clinton.
nm.
Well I got a notice from the IRS that I could expect my stimulus check by May 30 and I didnt
get it today.  I will get mine by mail.  I wonder how far off it comes from when they say it will come.
Then they can get right back on their tires and rafts and float on back to Cuba! nm

Back-to-back black swans that look like (sm)
a giant moustache. My MIL painted it for us and put our last name on it and my DH nailed it to an outside storage room door. It looks ridiculous, and when the kids have other kids over they always ask why we have a giant moustache on our door!
Hayseed was back a few weeks back
But we haven't heard from her since. I miss her too. I hope she's doing okay.
Well, I'm going to at least try to take it back...

...and if they don't believe me, I can't really blame them.  Several years ago, they had someone return a computer and get another one, and when they opened the boxes later, they were filled with wood and rocks, etc.   I'm still looking for my receipt, but not holding my breath.


My dad used to work at Lowes and he said they kept finding empty nail boxes behind the full boxes. Turns out, people were combining two boxes of nails and only paying for one.  I didn't realize nails were that expensive.  Who knew?


thank you so much for having my back.
for a little bit was beginning to think i was crazy/

i havent said anything to her yet, but i have to many parents and one of them spoke to teh principal who laghed it off. teh teacher, when that parent talked to her about it, said that seh goes thru this every year with parents and that teh children wanted to talk about it. i told my mom adn let me tell you, she is PO'd to say the least. tonight is our christmas program, my mom said she was going to talk to her, i think i'll be standing right next to her. i cant wait. i wish i was more vocal, adn wasnt so scared that if i did make a fuss she would treat my daughter differently. just dont know what to do here, i feel like screaming, but am too scared...isnt that silly.
MTT, you just took me back to...
that baby sweet smell of Dreft that I used when my kids were little!
Back at ya!
Sorry took so long!  Chickens rock!
Could it be your back...sm
Causing the pain in your foot? Up until just recently, I had that electric-shock feeling in my foot when I would turn it a certain way. It was excruciating! But it would only happen if I turned my foot at a certain, odd angle, like when I was stretching, so I just tried not to move it that way. It lasted for a good 2 months, then finally went away on its own.

I'm certain this was caused by whatever is going on in my back, though. In the last few years, I've started to have a lot of problems with my back. My doctor thinks it's because I have scoliosis, the degree of which is considered mild, but they're finding out now that even mild curves can cause severe pain.

Mostly my pain is from muscle spasms, but there is also definitely some "pinched nerve" type stuff going on at times. Lately I've been feeling an odd sensation almost like something is encircling my big toe on that same foot that had the shock-like pain, but it's very mild.

Anyway... maybe you could see a chiropractor? I went to one in the past, and I could really tell a difference. If I missed an appointment, I'd start to feel that sciatica-type pain down one leg. Also, a physical therapist might be able to help with exercises and tips. Insurance will usually cover that, but they don't always cover chiropractic care.

I got a TENS unit through my PCP and that helps relieve the pain, and I do stretching and strengthening exercises (I even have a DVD for yoga exercises specifically for the back and scoliosis that I *really* need to start doing.)

Anyway, just throwing out some ideas for you. I hope you can find a solution. I know that "shock" pain is horrible!


thanks - got it back

No. I don't think they are trying to win back--sm
their customers. This particular company has had negative reports about their products for years. Personally, I would never give this pet food to any of my pets even prior to the tainted pet food scandal just because of the negative reports about their food. They are going to be faced with a number of law suits anyway, in regard to the tainted pet products, as are probably some others. I don't think their giving away free pet food is going to win back anyone, who has a lick of sense in their head and true concern for their pets. Actually, being a pet owner, I think I would stay away from any and all of the pet food manufacturers involved in this tainted pet food business. I would no longer trust their products to be safe, no matter what the conditions after the fact. The *quality* pet food manufacturers are not on the recall list, so I would stick with them, for now. but then again, this is just my opinion.
I just got back from looking.

It was awful.  As far as the chickens and the sheep, that really did not bother me at all.  I grew up on a farm. They had had a party a few months ago and never cleaned up.  It smelled of urine.  I still have that awful smell with me.  GAG.  The place looked trashed. There were holes in the walls.  I know you are supposed to look beyond that and I tried and tried.  The fact that they knew since Monday that we were coming to look, I think they should have made an effort to make it look presentable.   Even the realtor agreed with me on that.   I don't feel they took us seriously. The realtor said they already came down from 130k to 125k so the potential buyer could put in new carpet or steam clean it.  I tried not to make a face but Dh said I had rolled my eyes.  My cousin, who knows the owner, said these people do this for a living.  They buy houses, live in them for a little while then sale them for profit.  I don't think they have a clue about their business.  IMO.


DH looked into the attic.  He said he could move the beams with his hand.  He did put his face on the wall in the living room, he said it was crooked.  DH said that our house is better built.  I noticed cracks between the ceiling and the baseboard in the loving room but I thought maybe just the baseboard needed to be renailed.  DH thinks that is an indication the house is sinking. 


The only thing we liked was the living room, sun room and that shop outside.  I liked the backyard but the master bedroom was too small.  The one I have now is small but it is bigger than that.  I want bigger, I don't want to downsize.  The other two bedrooms I thought were too small as well but we could live with those if we had to. 


I guess the reason they did not take us seriously and did not put out an effort was because I had already told them that 125k was too high for that neighborhood.  THe realtor lady said that they had come off but evidently that 125k was their comming off price.  I don't think I would want to pay 70k now, not even 50k.


 


Just getting back to you but the dog
had foot surgery- I saw it prior and had like a lipoma removed from its foot (have seen it since also). Apparently the dog has problems with being mobile as older dog, heavy dog (the guy fed it scraps from the table)and thus the reason for the mother giving it drugs for pain, sorta like I take ibuprofen daily because of fibro. Anyway, I appreciate the post- got email from her again this morning, about nothing really, but once I answer know it will get back to the doggie issue. Several people associated with her have sent her books, items, etc. about her enabling, so she tells me, but she will continue. I have a now deceased husband who did exactly the same- you would never have made him understand it does not help. He told me he would go to his grave and not do any differently and he did. I am not sorry for paying for the surgery but now have decided no more doggie medicine money. Thanks again!
Hey, I just got back from there
and was at the Belliago and I sure did not have freebies. Don’t you have to be one of the big rollers (or they think you are going to spend a lot at the tables) to get deals like you are talking about? Regardless of what places give away free, too spoiled to stay anywhere else now since my stays there.
I back you in everything you have said
and people who think you can ask nicely are probably the ones who have the problem children. Some kids just do not like anyone older saying jack to them. Sorry some people want to hide their heads in the sand. Their children probably don’t know how to behave either so they think youre asking/telling the kids to go was wrong. The kids would have responded the same way to either asking or telling. Poor upbringing.
No, not at all. I'm 37 and am going back SM

to school to be an ultrasound technologist.  I started this path back in 1993--graduated from rad tech school in ྛ.  Then I had kids and never worked in the field.  Went back to school in 2000 to become a medical Transcriptionist and have been working as an MT ever since.


Now, I'm finally working toward finishing my ultrasound degree.  I'm really excited about it.  I sometimes worry that I'm too old, but I'm not going to let that stop me.


You can do it!

I think I would think back to before it went bad (sm)
The last time you knew he was happy, and find somewhere you can spread them. A place you know he enjoyed or something like that. Before things went downhill.
Just came back and saw something
it was close to where Depends are kept, urinary incontinence supplies- for people who may can not wash their hair and it is a dry substance you put on and comb out, I believe. I have seen other things like this before also.
He should have to pay it back somehow, but (sm)
I know that doesn't help you when you have to fork over $100.  Hope it all works out for you, and that he never does it again. 
Oh, please, go back to bed or something (sm)
Have you ever been to NYC?  I used to live about 30 minutes from there, and spent a lot of time on subways on my way to Columbia Presbyterian where DD had appts.  Believe you me, it can be very confusing until you get the "lay of the land" and she sounds like she is trying to help. 
No - if it comes back to your son
he may hesitate to confide in you again.
It all comes back to you
Congratulations!! and yes it does all come back to you .....I am a mother of 3 with 6 years in between each (I think I kept forgetting how it happened!) Mine are 18, 11, and 5 and each time I felt like I was going through all the nervousness for the first time!
does anybody know how to back up

save it to a disc maybe?


 


TIA


Of course it will come back if...
you go back to eating lots of bread, potatoes, and other high-carb foods. It is a way of living, not just a diet. I have been on it for over a year now and have lost over 20 pounds. I was not overweight, just needed to lose those last few pounds. I have my cheat days where I will eat whatever I want, maybe once or twice a week. If you love steaks and can stay away from the french fries, then it is a fairly easy diet. I don't count my carbs anymore, I just stay away from those high-carb foods and if I notice my weight going up, I will go back on induction for a few days and it comes right off.

To the original poster, the ketosis will pass. I had dizziness and shortness of breath but it passed. If you are concerned, I would consult a doctor though. If you have certain medical problems it might end up hurting you.
I don't know how I can cut back any more....sm
I'm cut to the bone as it is. I only have my 2 sons and my mother and brother in my family to buy for. However, I do have a couple of friends that I buy for and my pastor and his wife.

My youngest son wants a bow and arrow set at Wal-Mart that costs $97. I don't know how I will afford that, much less anything else.
I definitely am not going to back down.
And let them know that in no uncertain terms.  I worked at this facility 35 years ago when I was in high, and the work is what inspired me to go into the medical field to help people.  I know this unit supervisor personally, worked with her 35 years ago as nurse's aids together, so I don't want to think that she had anything to do with it.  It is not like this was personal property just lying around for the taking.  Whoever took it hard to work pretty hard to get it off her finger.  It makes me so sad that people can be so duplicitous.
why fly back at someone sm
telling you the truth. Sounds like you just want to argue now or want sympathy. GET OUT! You are doing a disservice to your kids. Don't say you can't get out because you can. This is from teh voice of experience lady. Dont bite back at those who tell you the truth because you don't like it. Sounds like you want someone to tell you its ok to stay. Why would you listen to cop who gave you the advice that he did? This is 2008, not 1958!
