Sour grapes

LOL, I will not be the only one that "sound sour grapes"
I type radiology now and work for a wonderful smaller company locally in Wyoming.
Not sour grapes - We recorded the game
and have watched those plays more than a few times.

Especially the one where he was CLEARLY NOT over the line with the ball, only his shoulders and HE KNEW IT. He looked RIGHT at the camera as if to say, "Am I gonna get away with this"?

The ball was far too low underneath him to be even close to his head. Watch the replay and see for yourself.

I will admit it. I cried. Cried like a baby! I (sniff) still (sniff) can't.... talk about it much. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
obviously you're not full of sour grapes...nm

sour grapes, dearie? Oh, i forgot, you

Phil IS sour grapes....called that on TV...nm

Addendum- that should have been sour grapes, not green!

Yep, sour grapes is right. Typical attitude of people who are angry with life.

A bag of jelly beans is one of my favorites.
Use a large clear bag (if you can't find a clear trash bag, a drycleaning bag will work but does tear easily), cut holes in the bottom of the bag for your feet to go through and fasten the top around your neck.  Fill with a variety of colors of small balloons.  The small ballooons used for water balloons (however just fill them with air) work great.  Take the label from a bag of jelly beans and enlarge it on the copy machine and either trace it onto the front of the costume or could even just adhere the copy to the costume.  Doesn't work well if you have to travel very far in a car or have to sit very much, however!
There's always that one who has to ruin the whole post!
I should be consider myself "lucky" for this? No wonder the MT profession is in the crap hole, because of people like you.

I never said that working at the hospital or my degree would make this job a peice of cake. I was merely giving my background.

Furthermore, 1200 per day when you are new and are trying to learn this is difficult and for you to say otherwise is incorrect.

It takes years to become a knowledgeable and proficient MT and since you foolishly believe that you know what you are talking about, you should know this.

Becoming a good MT does not happen overnight.
Some just can't be quiet and have to ruin it for others.
I agree.
Grape jelly and brown sugar????
Is that as a sauce or in the meatball mix, itself? Would you mind parting with the recipe, my curiosity is getting the best of me.
crab apple jelly don't know recipe.

What a way to ruin a child's life!
Find something else for him to do, don't push for this artificial-type person's life.
You ALLOWED her to ruin your life. Take

I'm against outsourcing, too. It's helped to ruin a lot of

TO MT30+ Don't let these posts ruin your celebration!
Yes, they are confused. I have seen the other MT 30-whatever they are talking about and can see where it is confusing.  If the woman says she is not the poster - then she is not the poster!!!  Who in the world has the time to pick apart every post they can!  Forget about trying to explain. Anyhoooow - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!  Yes, there are still good jobs and companies out there.  They may be hard to find and it will take a little time.  I too landed one with no weekends, nights, or holidays - employee status.  Straight typing, one specialty, and more money than I was making.  Someone else did bring up in another post that a new job making 8 cpl with a good schedule and lots of work is better than 10 cpl and no work!!  That in itself will cause many people to make the change, even for less money. 
Boxers, KY warming jelly, lots of sweets thrown in the bag with them
and one of those big chocolate chip cookies shaped like a heart and decorated with red and white frosting.
I hear ya.. All it takes is one report like that to ruin my days. Sometimes,
I will have to shut down for a while to "regroup" because I have an attitude. My husband will laugh at me because I will be cussing at the computer and mimicking someone NOT speaking English.. He cant believe I even try as he has no idea whta they are saying.. I think he has a real appreciation for what he thought was an easy job just to sit and type.
I love to make meatballs with the grape jelly and brown sugar mix.
Also, the little smokies (wieners) and bbq sauce for appetizers.
Cook in equal parts BBQ and grape jelly. Crock pot if time. Yum! nm
 
Don't listen to the old sour apples...

However, if you are starting from scratch with no medical background and no training in transcription, you are 2-3 years from making ANY kind of money even IF you can find a job at home.  It's like learning another language, the language of medicine.  If you already have a medical background and have taken terminology, a way to more quickly get into the business would be to find a single doctor doing one specialty, saying the same thing over and over.  However, if you're inexperienced it might be hard to get a doctor to trust you with his transcription.  I don't know anything about your situation, so it's hard to answer.  Any more info?


Hey, I think you coined a new phrase, green grapes. Love it!!
Happy New Year!!
Sweet and Sour Soup, Potstickers, Mandarine Salad, Beef and Broccoli.
