Hayseed, I don't know you but your posts
indicate a person with a great sense of humor, and very intelligent. Surely with your experience, you know there are jobs out there that won't make you crazy, right? :)

With 20 years in the biz myself, I'm definitely coo coo for coconuts from listening to voices in my ears for all this time, but I do choose my level of insanity by refusing to work for companies that abuse/don't support or train/don't pay on time.

You'll find a better fit because you've taken the proactive step of putting yourself first, i.e., self respect.

Good luck.
Hayseed, your posts make my day.
Damn roosters.
I am not miserable, I love my job, all is well with me, but gross tacky humor is just that.

I just wanted to say that I love your sense of humor with the photo you used! LOL nm

I LOVE a woman with a great sense of humor! hahahaha!! nm

Love Johnny Depp too. He has a sense of humor and is a great actor.
Love his movies.
I just love your posts! You are so full of
knowledge about the happenings at MQ and Spheris, as well as other companies you don't work for. It must be hard to keep up with everything. How do you get any work done when your opinion is so widespread on these boards?
Love your posts and your wit, Jasper
And so very sorry you're having to deal with this.

Why just some editors? Is it if you were under a certain level of productivity, seniority, or...?

There are VR companies out there that pay decently; you should start sending out that resume before they decide to cut the pay again.

I love reading your posts..and having my own feelings
You are so right
Oooh, I just LOVE what's for dinner posts. sm

Funny thing is, I just put chili together for tomorrow. Dumped it in the crock pot. put the crock in the fridge and will do a slow cook thing tomorrow. Yummy.  Must be cold and rainy where you live too.  All I could thing of was chili, baked beans or a big pot of hot soup. :)


Tonight we had baked pork chops and oven baked red potato chunks. Very, very yummy and very, very easy.  Here's what you do:


Dice up potatoes (with skins on) and layer them in a 13 x 9 baking dish. Add 1/3 cup cooking oil and 1 package of Lipton (or store brand) dry onion soup mix and stir it up. Then mix the other package of onion soup mix with bread crumbs, rinse off the pork chops, and roll them in the mix and throw them in a baking dish as well.  Put both in the oven at 350 degrees.  Potatoes usually take 35 minutes. Pork chops depend on the thickness. WICKED GOOD!


Dontcha just love the way the ads are related to the topic in the posts?
Freaky.  I have AOL with an animated character.  When I am in an IM, the dog actually reacts with sad cry when I type the word "sad,"  and happy reaction with "lol."  All the rest of the emotions coincide with my typewritten text.  I find that to be rather unsettling.  They basically are reading what we are typing out there, somewhere. 
Why do so many people LOVE operative notes? I see posts about it all the time...
how they make good money on them, they could do them all day, feel cheated when they don't get them? I have been doing this for years and years and still kind of groan when I see them come up on my screen. Fill me on the secrets and maybe I won't whine so much when I do them. Thanks gal!
You crack me up.

You guys crack me up
Come on now, cottage cheese is not very inventive, but it is a good suggestion. The bell pepper thing sounded great too, but feeding too many kids for that to go over well I think. Maybe a Ceasar sald and bread with it is all I really need. Don't cook for people very often.
Thanks. I think I'll take a crack at it. I need a new

probably crack the mirror......LOL.....nm

no you crack me up. if you are on mq payroll, you should really take a cut. not to clever to not
be able to disguise alias when trying to devise a multiple personality back-up to your multiple posts backing MQ.  LOL.  Nice try! 
you guys crack me up. Can you give me
advice on a chair? Need extra cushy seat.
It says nothing... It only says that some people seek out crack pot

Can someone PLEASE call the white coats with the net for this crack pot?

KD, are you on crack - very few people make $50,000/year - sm
I make about $58,000, but I work my butt off doing it, have 18 years experience. You sound like a Sally Struthers ad when you make a comment like that! Next thing you know, you will be telling this woman that she can breastfeed her child while she is transcribing and have another one sitting on her lap!!

I do love this job, but I tell people to expect to make at least $25,000-$30,000/year.
This sounds like same I hear when person getting off crack
they are a survivor, being applauded, revered. What about you not do it in the first place? This person is saying lost everything due to not wanting to work, went down the drain, housing, vehicles, everything. I am so over the hill and thank goodness, always had enough gumption just to work and make it. What about some applause for people who never do drugs, who raise children without snorting or kicking a drug habit and who are upstanding all the way around? Oh well, guess that is too much to ask, just want to say what a survivor out of someone who really just had no get up and go. Unreal....
Ghost crack maybe? Is he talking about a healed fracture?
.
I didn't care 4 that crack, young lady!

Curious, did Dog speak at the AAMT convention & if so what did he say? Don't smoke crack?

Just do a search and read the posts. There are plenty of posts about OSI on this board. nm.

I think you see the humor
or you wouldn't want to keep communicating with me. I think you love it!
Sense of humor.
I have been in the same situation with doctors not spelling out names, etc. I have just quit a national company and have been wondering what to do next. When I read these postings today, I could not help but laugh. Keep your sense of humor as it helps the rest of us get through our days too.
lol.. thank you for adding humor to my otherwise
nm
you need a sense of humor
Get over your bad self. The woman was having fun with a difficult situation - most psychologists would say that is healthy.

As far as your sour attitude - glad you're not in my church.

People whose English language skills are very poor should not be doing jobs where they have to give "Customer support" or "customer service" to English-speaking customer - period. They need to improve their English skills.

If you went to India, do you think they would give you a job speaking in their dialect? Certainly not. They, and most other countries, will not hire foreigners to do jobs that their own citizens are qualified to do. The U.S. is about the only country that does not protect the jobs of its citizens.
Did you have your sense of humor
!
LOL ! Mustang, here you have your humor...nm
nm
We got that point the first day on the job. People still need a little humor

Specifically the Good Humor
ice creams bars with the chocolate candy surprise inside! Do they still make them? I may have to chase down an ice cream truck. Oh, do they still make THEM? LOL!
*humor* at the expense of one's sexuality &.NM

Because "Jasper" has a sense of humor
And chooses to take this in stride rather than engaging in the usual 'chicken little' antics usually engaged in on these forums, you choose to construe from that that he/she was an inferior employee?

Now I'M laughing...how very presumptious of you!!!
Hayseed; I luv ya!

Hayseed!  You are my kinda gal!  I am in just about the same situation; plunked into a small, rural town with NO job opportunities available, hit rock bottom, etc.   I answered an ad, like you did, scored an interview, aced the test, and they told me, like I said, that I'm the only person without "experience" they have ever hired, but, my background, determination and fortitude impressed them.  Did you have to buy your own equipment and resource books to get started, too?    By the way, I have a friend who moved to Bangor.  I was her secretary for two years before they moved from here.  She's a psy nurse, her hubby's a child psychiatrist.  If I ever get there, I'd love to meet you!   (love your picture!)


Hayseed
Good for you. I don't think I could live so isolated, but you seem to do just fine with a lot of humor. I love reading your posts, and I love your piggy.
You said it Hayseed!!!

I agree as well.  Sure, it would be great if I got paid more, but for me it's the unpaid benefits that are worth their weight in gold.  I save money on clothes (not too many people can say their work clothes are comft PJs), gas for my car, and child care for my children.  I get frustrated like everyone else, but I think of all the good things I have going for me working at home, step back, and then jump right back into it. 


Well said Hayseed!!!


Hayseed
Most, if not all of your posts, make me giggle! Honestly though, I've thought of doing the same thing from time to time...
Hayseed
I like the way you think!
You go Hayseed!
Things would be different for me, too, if I had a "hubby" to bring home a paycheck and bennies and stuff.  I am an excellent MT, too, BTW!
Hey Hayseed
Just wanted to mention to you about dentalplans.com. I had not been to the dentist for some time because of the insurance issue, so went looking and found these guys. It is NOT insurance, but the dental plans offer a range of pricing and covered services (plan fees are one annual payment of about $159, more or less). The hygienist was amazed at what the plan covered for me, as was I. I had to have the deep cleaning done (which was charged at about $1,200 per quad, but my cost was about $300 per quad with the plan -- not to mention the savings on the root canal with crown/crown extension that I had to have -- BIG bucks, but I saved quite a bit there too.)

Anyway, you can get a plan where you get free cleanings and x-rays, I believe, but then the more extensive work is not covered as well as with the plan that I chose (Presidential, I think). You also have a 90-day period of time during which you may change from one of their offered plans to another (like if you choose the free cleanings plan and then discover you have a lot of work that would be better covered by another plan).

I know . . . I'm starting to sound like a commercial or like I work for dentalplans.com, but I was just really glad to find them and I felt like it was as good as having actual dental insurance, since most of the insurance plans I have had or reviewed are not that great anyway, and usually only cover 25% of the costs involved with seeing a specialist.
Hayseed
Are you a Steeler fan??????
Yay, it's HAYSEED!
So glad Hayseed responded! I couldn't help but write too. I have been lurking the last day, and have to admit I have missed this place. All I had to do when it was down was go on smaller MT boards and lurk, but still had too much time for e bay and working! (Note to boss: Sorry ,just kidding, I do work all the time and am only on here when I have my break, really! Note to husband: Sorry about my paycheck going to e bay rather than auctions, it was not my fault, really!)
But real reason for writing. Glad to see hayseed is here! Hayseed you really cheer this MT up lots and glad you are here still. You have fans you know, and if you disappear, it won't be the same! :) You have cheered this HolidayMT up on more than one occasion and wanted to thank you for that. When this place was gone, thought there was no chance to let you know, so here it is in case this place disappears again.
Well, that's it for now, cheers to all from the HolidayMT.
Hayseed....
Do you still work for Deventure?
I think we were all kidding! Sarcasm - dark humor...

Good thing you got a sense of humor about it.
