Didn't meant for it to sound rude

I'm one of those people with lots of education; it just wasn't in the medical field, so I know about the learning curve. (Grin.) I just wanted to give you a heads up that my personal opinion is that you would be wasting your money investing in the courses to get into this business.

Have you thought about going to your doctor for help before your COBRA runs out? You still have almost 5 months before it runs out, that's only 10 lbs a month and with a doctors help should be possible.
Don't want to sound rude, but it is not propietery to one company.
I was just hired by a hospital that uses Enterprise platform and ASR is not part of this platform.

Maybe they outsourced at one time to that company, but not now and they use Enterprise.

Thanks for your reply!

I meant It is the WISER way to RESPOND to a RUDE comment...nm

The sound is crystal clear. (meant Soundblaster)......
Although I googled video cards as my other computer's video card went out but the external boxes did not have good reviews, so hired a technician to come to my house and install the video card, $177.00, but I couldn't afford to mess w/my computer and be out of work, so I would certainly recommend the external sound box.
I didn't think it meant anything any more.
It used to be English gentry below a knight, or a landed proprietor.  Bill and Ted used it in their Excellent Adventure, and they weren't even high school graduates.
Maybe I sound that way, but didn't know (sm)
picking me up from the train station was too much to ask.  I guess the joke is on me.  And as much as I hate to get into the stepmother thing, I could never in a million years picture someone's real mother giving a reply as she did.  I could also never imagine her saying that to one of her own kids or anyone else for that matter.  I think it's totally rude!  So I guess I just tell them I told you I was going to come and you couldn't pick me up from the train, end of story.
Didn't mean to sound that way
No, just meant that I would rather keep looking than to settle for lower standards. If that means I don't get that extra splurge at the end of the month, then it's worth it to me.
She didn't MAKE anything SOUND like anything.

Your perception is warped.  YOU chose to interpret it in a different way than she intended.  That's your comprehension level, not her playing cards.  My goodness!  It must be lonely up there on your pedestal telling everyone how perfect you are.  Oh, you never made a mistake.  You made all the "right" decisions.  Blah, blah, blah.  You must be really unhappy and bitter if that's all you can do is tell everyone how great you and your life are.  What's the matter?  Husband cheating on you?  Erectile dysfunction?  Evidently, something is terribly wrong in your life, or you wouldn't be here preaching and condemning other people.  You would be out living your perfect life with your perfect husband and lack of kids.


Personally, I'm sick and tired of your crap showing up on these boards all the time.  I don't care if I get banned for telling it like it is.  It's worth it to not have to listen to you.  If we parents and single mothers bother you so much, why don't you find the dried up, bitter, old crone boards to hang out on?


Didn't sound like a hoax to me
I called the 888 toll-free number and it WAS the National Do Not Call Registry. I do not find this to be a hoax! I will be asking all my friends and family to do this.

Thanks for the tip!
I didn't mean to sound touchy. You misunderstood and
whether or not you MEANT to reply to my post, you did. What else was I to think?!

I don't have all the answers but I was quite aware of that information already.

No offense taken by me! Just felt like you misunderstood, that's all!

Sorry, I meant didn't have to do it at home full time

You are absolutely right. I am very lucky. I didn't sound too grateful but I am. nm

He almost looked like he had a storke or Parkinson's. Didn't sound like himself. nm,

I didn't mean internet searching, I meant searching my directories for filenames. nm

Sorry, 'MT way too long,' my post was not meant for you, it was meant for Wow! Sorry!!...nm

Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?

I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers.  Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer.  Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card?  Did it make a difference. 


Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you.  You have helped me many times. 


Well of course we know that now. Back then we didn't because he didn't allow unfettered access.

right we children didn't tattle to the administrator did we. BTW, didn't you think we were &#
because some half-witted idiot said everyone was jealous because some other anonymous poster said they were going to be a doctor. Didn't they call it doctor envy. Oh yeah, that was all about you wasn't it busy-body MT. You with your degree and premed but yet you still post here and acuse others of jealously. I dunno but you and dano seem so close, I can't put my finger on it but I would say you could be computer clones. Jealous indeed. Children indeed. I think you are blowing your covers) dano and busy body MT. This whole "jealously" thing makes me think that you may be one and the same poster.
I didn't go into labor until 2.5 weeks later, so it didn't work. Sorry!...nm

You do sound FAT, but you don't sound RICh.
Go live in Iraq or something.
sorry I didn't have time to thank you, but I didn't forget!!

Didn't you tell me?!?!? No, Liza, you didn't tell me. Hooray for you! lol

Not so sure if it is rude...
A lot of these places just seem extremely disorganized, a real mess. I had 2 places "hire" me for part time work and never got employment papers, contracts or anything until I finally had to ask. Ultimately I did not take either job, cause I figure if they cannot get this together, what happens to the paychecks?
How rude!
You'll be one of those "old, half crippled" MTs one day, young whippersnapper.
yeh thats rude but if you know she's like that
Thats someone I would not want in my life because it would be a roller coaster.  Friendships are rare and you need to try really hard to preserve them and if you're doing that, then you deserve someone who will do the same back.  I know, hard to find.  I also sound a little "short" on the phone (i've been told this several times by dif people) and I explain to them nicely that I do get in this weird zone in that I want to get my work done and i'm still in that zone when the phone rings. 
not to be rude, but where are you at that you are able to
Is this someplace you can stay? Just curious.
You don't have to be rude.
If you don't want to help that's fine, but you don't have to be rude.  Working late and in a hurry.  No time to switch from board to board.  I rarely ask for help anyway but I am in need tonight.  I have spent too much time already looking for it myself.
YOU ARE SO RUDE!

Well, I think YOU are trying to be rude...
and I don't appreciate it. PEEP = People. Obviously U R not up on 21st century slang!
You are rude.

that was a rude way to put it
I understand what they mean, but that was rude.  I tried to train a lady in her 60s and after 40 solid hours of just trying to teach her to save files, I gave up.  In the process, when I asked her what was on her desktop, she hesitated and said "uhhhhh...my coffee."   You'd think everybody would have a basic fund of knowledge since we haven't used typewriters for at least 20 years now, but some just cannot grasp it.
Are you always this rude?

You can have degrees coming out of your ying yang, but it doesn't make you better than any other person.  You've failed miserably at learning the most important lesson of all along the way:  How to treat people. 


So get over yourself. Someday you're going to slip off your self-erected superior pedestal and break that special finger that you flash at everyone.


Why are you being rude?
I don't understand. Haven't I been through enough?
Not trying to be rude. It is just sad that this
person has this much experience and does not know these simple rules.  Obviously they have never bothered to stay updated, which in our business is mandatory.
No one has been rude to her.
Again, you really should stop trying to start flames.  It's very juvenile of you.  Don't you have something to do, like transcribe, or maybe you could start an early dinner, your favorite, burgers on the grill, chips, and root beer!!! Or maybe you could do something you've needed to do for a long time but keep putting off:  TAKE A CHILL PILL AND CHILL OUT before you pop a vessel!  GHEESH!  
Maybe they were rude, but DH should have
told them not to come and the problem would have been eliminated before it started. 
So sorry. That was rather rude..sm..
and unprofessional. Don't take one person's opinion. Get more experience in-house where someone can mentor you.  Then branch out independently on your own at home again.  Good luck to you. 
Did not mean to be rude
Did not mean to be rude but it seems like this is so often stated that as an IC "you pay your own taxes and as an employee you do not" that I just though I would emphasize that you do not pay your own taxes, you withhold your own taxes as an IC.  Sorry if I hurt your feelings. 
but day one? to be so rude? nm

How rude! Perhaps you should
stick to minding your own business.  She wasn't asking for your opinion of her skills.  She knows she has the skills.
Please, I don't mean to be rude, but who now
nm
You are very rude and know nothing
at all about my situation.   I left there by choice, they begged me to stay and have even called me since I left to ask that I come back - doesn't sound like I couldn't cut it to me.  I do not now, nor have I ever worked as an IC, not that that has anything to do with anything. 
This is very rude!
I don't suppose you ever missed a typo on anything you ever posted!
How Rude

rude
That was rude!! I don't spell check my IMs, e-mails or posts on this board but I sure as heck spell check my work before I upload it, as I am sure the OP does... Spell check police GO AWAY!!!!
How Rude
Does that make MTs...what? typists??

Don't judge until you walk a mile in our shoes. You don't even know the C*R*A*P we have to deal with day in and day out. Especially from subpar MTs who think our only job is to fill in the blanks they are unable or unwilling to.

Not everyone is as conscientious as you seem to be. Most do not bother to transcribe the "bulk of the work" but decide to leave it to us in QA who, after all, do nothing but fill in blanks all day.

I suggest you get a better understanding of what QA's role is. QAing is a very difficult job and one that not everyone is qualified to do. Certainly not lazy MTs who can't be bothered to do their own research.
I can see where you might think she was being rude...
but I try not to take posts too personally...have a good one :)
Why so rude
Why are you being so rude to me? All I can speak about is myself, and what I am doing. I wasn;t being rude to you or anyone else. Guess you have nothing better to do or no one else to take your crap out on, I was under the impression this was a place where adults gathered.

so rude
Having a bad day? Does it make you feel better to be an ass to me?

I was only commenting on my experience which is all any of us can do.

And as far as my kids... who says YOU are good enough to even refer to them! Yep, I feel better being an ass to you.

Can we get back to being adults now? :)
She is not being rude but she is sm
telling the truth. Unfortunately on this board sometimes no one wants to hear the truth or they are offended by it. Wonder why that is?
LOL, but to the rude ones.....sm
Thank you....not! :D

So either way is OK. :D
