    Good grief, hope it doesn't have too many changes sm
    If so, we should get our money back on the 2nd, geez! Enough is enough.Some of the 2nd is wrong anyway, leave us alone!
    I certainly hope you were kidding. nm x

    Oh good grief
    Whoever started this, "It's your responsibility to look up an address" should be drawn and quartered. Leave the secretarial work for the person who gets paid by the hour.
    Good grief
    OMG!  You have got to be kidding yourself here.  First, Barney is Zipper, MQLover, Frankie Boy who ever else  you accused and now she is MQ whiner?  Listen to yourself. 
    Good grief!!!
    Reading these costs of living it's no wonder people are so grouchy all the time.  I've always been pretty frugal...no mortgage, no car note, no credit card bills.  Total expenses including food, probably under $1000 month, don't keep track.  We spend a lot on eating out and just generally having fun. Simple 2 BR 1 Bath house on 8 acres,  One Ford F150 that's 6 years old, one Dodge Ram that's 4 years old.  Living just the way we like it...not having to worry about drowning.  Not exactly paupers, total income around $7500/month.
    oh good grief
    lol
    Oh good grief. (nm)

    Good Grief!
    The average Joe should be SO LUCKY to have a 6.4 or 4% decline in wages!  Health care keeps going up and the doctors keep raking in the dough left and right.  If you can't see that, there's something terribly wrong.
    good grief!
    I hope you are okay.  Did anyone see that show on the health channel last week where the little girl about 12 was trying to purge and put her fork  down her throat and it slipped?   The tines were barely seen in the back of her throat.  Talk about scary! 
    good grief!
    Don't you have anything better to be so judgemental about! Withholding help just because of the way someone *wrote* something! What difference does it make? This is a *forum*, not a federal document!
    Good grief
    I am very sorry to hear things are rough for you right now, and well wishes for you and your family.

    You have always been so helpful here, and know that many of us appreciate your insightful take on the issues we all share as MTs.

    Scary isn't it?  I agree, I would "accidentally" forward to a higher upper.  This is totally ridiculous.
    Oh, good grief.
    Why does everyone think that they should only get the type of work that they want? It is up to the employer to see that ALL the work gets done and sometimes you may have to do something you don't like. Granted, you should not have been told that you wouldn't have to do DS. However, to say that you were lied to is a bit over the top, don't you think?

    With all the griping that goes on on this board about work going overseas, to sit here and complain about the work that you do get is non-productive whining.
    Good grief!
    Can't even imagine working without a spell check of some kind. Am wondering if there are programs that you can download on the computer you use...even having to re-download every day? Sure hope you can get it "fixed" -
    Good grief--

    It was meant as sarcasm-- I guess you didn't "get it".  What I meant by it is why was HE worried about not speaking English when none of the ESLs give a rip.


     


     


    Good grief you don't get it do you? sm
    When this all started it started with someone posting about not wanting to work weekends, holidays, nights, when their kids were at a soccer game, blah blah.

    You people have absolutely taken one post and stretched it all out shape.

    I am neither bitter or miserable in my profession. But, the posters who whine about hours and days and no work when they want work are the ones who are bitter.

    Seems to me the ones that are complaining about all that are the ones that don't have a positive attitude as you like to put it.

    I am not on a pedestal and I don't think I am better than anyone. But, I also know what it takes to make it in this profession......a lot of hard work over the YEARS and willingness to hang in there. I see people on here who have been in this profession 2-3 years and have worked for 5-6 MTSOs! How the heck do you get anywhere job hopping like that? IMO you shouldn't even be working for an MTSO at that point.

    I really don't care if you or any of the other whiners and complainers give a rip what I think. The profession is the way it is. Its not going to change to suit those who don't want to work and it may even get worse.

    Get use to it or get out. Keep complaining about no work, no work when you want it, weekends, nights and holidays. Waste your time. I am going back to work.

    As for myself and others like me who have done this for years, we will have a job when you are out looking for a job at Walmart. Personally I am glad, at least some of the whiners will get weeded out.
    good grief
    That sounds like a gigantic mess.  I'm glad I bailed when I did.
    Good grief!
    IF you have your own company
    IF you have good employees
    IF you can find accounts that will pay well
    IF...IF...IF

    Just trying to figure out, as long as they're making claims, why stop at 60K?!!
    good grief. ESL saying, "intermittent" LOL

    Good grief!!! At least she uses a bb name, unlike...

    those (yourself included) who only add a few words in the signature line and never use a "name" twice.


    Geesh.


    Good grief, you are way off the beam....sm
    What is appropriate is that the patient's doctor asked for blessings over this patient's health. What IS inappropriate is *your* interpretation of appropriate and inappropriate. I sure hope you never transcribe my reports and become the filter for or against information that is put in my records!
    Good grief. The point is that it
    isn't 'whining' to state that MTs have to have much experience & knowledge, and there are a lot of physical effects and mental strain, and considering all of that, the pay is really lacking in our profession. Those are the facts. An IC at 8 cpl is AWFUL pay, by the way. Just because you don't think you deserve any better than that doesn't mean the rest of us feel that way.
    Good grief! Housekeeper in the South? SM

    If you are set on housekeeping, I do know people who clean houses for a living and do very well. One woman even went on to own her own business. But in a HOTEL? I'm sorry to say this, but are you nuts?


    If your MT skills need polishing, there are different tapes and courses and WHATEVER you can use. Perhaps someone here can assist you.


    As another 50 something year old woman, who works for a National, so far I have made $30,000 this year. I realize that is not a lot of money, I'm not exactly busting my behind, but you can make money. Please stick this thing out. Housekeeping is not an option, except in one's own home.


    Good grief, charlie brown. nm

    I remember gas 25 c - cruising main street after buying $2 worth Ha, that was after I bought a pack of cigarettes out of the cig. machine for 35c - man o man those were the days when I was cool
    Oh good grief. Every company defines

    Good grief...multiple personality disorder???

    Good grief people, what;s up with all this drizzle stuff??

    Good grief. You'd make an employment decision
    Honey, you need to get a grip!

    Oh good grief! No way. The only Dixie I know of is a forensic medicine person...
    not a former bank manager.  Maybe there are 2 of them. 
    Good grief, no. I'm not a mole. I'm not admin or mgmt in any form.
    I'm not QA. I'm just an MT like everyone else on this forum.

    I'm allowed to have my own questions and curious thoughts.

    Good grief.. Fortunately ours is only chasing oncoming cars, so just

    Good to know. Thanks. I hope he has someone at home sm
    who can do that for him. He'll just have to keep growing! Thank goodness no one has thought 20" is too small!
    How was everyone's Christmas? Good, I hope.
    We wound up missing the big Christmas Day family feast because one of our kids woke up from a nap with a 102.4 degree temperature.  It hit 104.9 in the middle of the night last night.  Of course, the clinic is closed today so I'll have to take him to the ER if things don't get better soon.  Poor little sprite.
    Good, I hope it works... nm

    Hope you get good news from the biopsy, sm
    My husband just had a similar situation, only his was a growth on the side of his nose. Doctors thought it was a cyst or a mite that got stuck in there. After sending it off to 3 labs, it was diagnosed as Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. They may have gotten the whole thing during the surgery, but husband still has to undergo 20 days of radiation therapy to the site. His prognosis is excellent. He was very scared during the waiting period and once he received the diagnosis, however he has adjusted to getting the radiation and has settled down.

    You can be his support. When my husband had all kinds of negative things running through his mind, I kept encouraging him that it may not be as serious as he is imagining. I also have a brother that had Non-Hodgkins lymphoma and he talked to my husband about his treatment, which helped my husband a lot, as well.

    Good luck, I'll keep your family in my prayers.
    Wooohooo!! Good for you!! Hope you stay there!
    Nope, didn't write the letter!

    Now if we can just keep the termites like yourself away, we'll do just fine thank ya!
    Good luck..hope you have a better experience..
    than I did with them
    Good luck. I hope it works for you!
    I always used to wonder why  so many people on ebay started listing from smoke-free home. Then I bought an antique book,and boy did I understand! Now you will definitely  be asking the smoke free home question right away for anything on Ebay, right? Yuck. Again, I used to smoke for decades and had no idea how awful it smells.Smokers don't really smell it themselves! Have fun, too!!
    Hope you're good with accents! sm

    All customer service is outside of the US and I had a really tough time communicating with them.  Also if you choose to discontinue early there's a whopping $90 fee that's buried in the fine print.


    I used Vonage with broadband satellite for 2 months and it disconnected frequently on me....my satellite has been stable for years with multiple platforms so I suspect Vonage is just not suited for satellite.  Just a heads up!


    Good to hear it. Hope you find it useful. NM

    Good for you but I hope you get off your high horse
    i agree with your post -- however, you just don't seem to get it -- CIRCUMSTANCES happen -- my s/o and I had something happen last month to where he had to renew a license for his work -- had it renewed and on PAPER, however, his company said they wanted the "hard plastic copy" he has to carry a gun to work and the state and federal government took their sweet time -- he got laid off, applied for unemployment, got a couple of checks for a WHOPPING $275 a week!!! -- Finally, last week got a call from his employer "even though you legally can't carry a gun right now, we have a position" -- this week the PROPER paperwork came in, he got rehired, but LOST ALL his senority. I hope you are wonderful and yes, we DO live within our means, we use ATM cards etc and I balance my checkbook but who the heck are YOU to judge!!!!
    Anytime! Hope it gets worked out. Good luck! nm
