I'll probably get banned for writing this, but my comment was much milder than this. I didn't call anyone any names. What's up with this?

    Wasnt you worried that some weirdo might come back in while you werent there to monitor it? sm
    It just worries me that after we get everything set up will some weirdo go in and look around, get info off of your accounts, or go look at icky stuff on the web using your computer? My husband says his tech guys at his work said there is no reason why a tech person cant "fix" your problem by walking you through it. They say there is never ever a reason to authorize someone you dont know access to your computer. I am so confused! Really want this job, but dont want to risk my computer being an open door either.
    Wasnt that a rip. They must have called every person on every account to work. I cant possibly
    figure that mentality. PLUS we get nothing extra for weekends, nothing extra for  holidays ZIP. They overload the accounts and so we have no work. Why would they pay weekends or holidays when they play this game. Somebody is pocketing something but it AINT THE MTs. I hope every MT in that office inundates Mt. Laurel with complaints until they replaced the people that did this and not to mention their STUPID STUPID PICKY MQ point plan. That is a horrendous joke. Somebody up there needs to be removed and quickly.
    I reported it when it first came on the board but
    I think administrator is napping . . .
    I already reported it and the one on the co. board too

    Monitor told me I have to clear out my cache but I dont know how to do that so I can get into
    different boards. Can anyone help me or monitor can you help me.
    I posted below and read your note
    Unbelievable but close to where I live this morning was having breakfast and heard 1 of the waitresses there saying - did you hear that girl that was just in here- trying to talk proper- and she said .....The other waitress told her she was saying it correctly - it is .....See, some saying talking PROPER when it is just good old English. I agreed with the crap we have to listen to- I had the word esophageal the other day- took me forever to figure out what the heck the person was trying to save- like working crossword puzzle only more irritating!
    How often is the monitor board

    my CSC person told me there is FT and SE
    so i assumed statutory was part time
    I used windex wipes and my monitor is just fine. Read that somewhere in my books. nt

    Did you read the sticky note above that says "read before posting"
    x
    You need to make us aware of this on the Monitor's Board. sm
    We need a link to delete the post. We can't and don't control everything that happens here as we hope that people respect the rules and act like adults. That doesn't always happen. Your post is extremely rude in questioning our loyalty to the American.

    Take this to the Monitor's Board. You didn't mention which state board and gave me no information whatsoever.
    I "did" take it to the monitor board. Still no answer, tho. nm
    .
    That is the red note on the job seeker's board.

    For the board owners, just a note to say
    nm
    You should've just told the person who gave
    that you took the clothes you couldn't use to Goodwill and that your other friend bought them at Goodwill. Nothing she could do about that one!!! She'd have to tell Goodwill not to sell stuff to her and you know that wouldn't fly.

    You did the right thing, though, and I probably would've done the same. This way you can continue to be friends with both without getting in the middle of things or causing hard feelings. :)
    Of note, the "christianity board" is actually many religions, not just christianity. nm

    I bought a new one from Dell almost a year ago and talked with the CS person. She told me the
    models they still had available with XP. If you buy a new one though with Vista you can always remove it and reload with XP.

    there a note on the company board from QA regarding cherrypicking and they mention "line padding&
    This is a new one on me.  I've heard of cherrypicking but what constitutes line padding?  Isn't everybody typing what the doctor dictates?  How can you possibly add extra????

    I have been told and read that Medware offshores. I think you can do better.
    There are many American companies that do not offshore. Please steer clear of any offshoring companies at any cost.
    Obviously not, the person says they are new to MT - read the inital post - sm

    Henry Lamb- A Great Freedom Fighter Documents how your Dietary Supplements are Under Attack

    Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to read "Your dietary supplements: Under attack again" by Henry Lamb, which I am inserting into the record. Mr. Lamb explains the threat to American consumers of dietary supplements and American sovereignty by the Codex Alimentarius commission, commonly referred to simply as Codex. The United Nations created Codex to establish international standards for foods and medicines. Just last week, representatives of the United States government agreed to a final version of Codex's standards on dietary supplements which, if implemented in the United States, could drastically reduce Americans' ability to obtain the supplements of their choice. Members of the American bureaucracy may be hoping to achieve via international fiat what they cannot achieve through the domestic law-making process--the power to restrict consumers' access to dietary supplements. American bureaucrats may gain this power if the World Trade Organization, which considers Codex "guidelines" the standard by which all other regulations are judged, decides that our failure to "harmonize" our regulations of dietary supplements to meet Codex's recommendations violates international trading standards! This could occur despite the fact that American consumers do not want to be subjected to the restrictive regulations common in other parts of the world, such as the European Union.

    This article is typical of Henry Lamb's work. For almost twenty years, beginning at an age when most Americans are contemplating retirement, Mr. Lamb has worked to expose and stop threats to American liberty, sovereignty, and prosperity. Mr. Lamb became involved in the battle for liberty when, as the CEO of a Tennessee construction company, he founded a state association of contractors to work against excessive regulations. In 1988, Henry Lamb founded the Environmental Conservation Organization to defend true environmentalism, which is rooted in the truth that there is no better steward of the environment than a private property owner, from those who used the environment as a cover for their radical statist agendas. Since 1992, Mr. Lamb and ECO have focused on the threat to economic liberty and self-government posed by the radical global environmental agenda.

    Henry Lamb works to further the cause of liberty by giving speeches around the country, editing an on-line magazine, making numerous television and radio appearances, and writing a weekly column to inform his fellow Americans of the latest scheme to undermine their freedoms. Mr. Lamb is the model of a citizen-activist, and all who wish to become involved in the battle for freedom can learn from his example. In conclusion, I once again urge my colleagues to read Mr. Lamb's article to learn about the need to protect American consumers from Codex, and I thank Mr. Lamb for his tireless devotion to the cause of freedom.

    YOUR DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS: UNDER ATTACK AGAIN (from WorldNetDaily, June 11, 2005)

    (By Henry Lamb)

    The Codex Alimentarius Commission sounds like one of those shadowy, sinister organizations conjured up by one-world-government nuts to scare people.

    Truth: It is!

    The Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization created this commission in the early 1960s to set standards for food safety and to ``harmonize'' the laws of member nations. The commission was endorsed by U.N. Resolution 39/248, which says:

    ``When formulating national policies and plans with regard to food, governments should take into account the need of all consumers for food security and should support and, as far as possible, adopt standards from the ..... Codex Alimentarius. .....''

    The Codex Alimentarius Commission consists of delegates from 163 member nations representing 97 percent of the world's population. It meets every two years, either in Rome or Geneva. Between meetings, the commission is governed by an executive committee that directs the activities of its many committees.

    Of immediate concern is the ongoing effort to bring dietary supplements in America under the control of standards set by this commission. Dietary supplements generate a $17 billion industry in the United States, which affects more than 150 million consumers, according to Congressional findings (H.R. 2485). Proposed procedures and standards could virtually destroy this market and deprive millions of Americans of the supplements they want to use.

    The European Union Directive on Dietary Supplements, which becomes law in August, severely restricts the types and quantities of supplements that may be legally sold. Most forms of vitamins C and E, for example, are not available, or are available only in extremely small doses. If current plans proceed on course, American consumers are in for a shock.

    How can this little-known international commission control what consumers buy in the United States?

    An even less-known agency, deep within the bowels of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is responsible for U.S. participation in the Codex Commission and designates delegates to each of the commission's committees. Barbara O. Schneeman is the delegate to the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Food for Special Dietary Uses.

    The effort to regulate dietary supplements has been under way for more than a decade. In 1994, Congress adopted the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, which kept supplements beyond the reach of the drug police. In the past, Codex recommendations have been non-binding. Now, however, the Codex Alimentarius Commission is teaming up with the World Trade Organization to bring international enforcement to the dietary-supplement battle.

    Ironically, it was primarily the U.S. that brought the WTO into existence in 1994, as the successor to GATT, the General Agreement on Tarriffs and Trade. The WTO agreement specifically requires that the member nations--including the U.S.--conform its laws to meet the requirements of WTO decisions. Failure to conform results in stiff financial penalties. The Codex Commission and the European Union want the WTO to enforce Codex standards, which fly directly in the face of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act.

    Pascal Lamy of France was just selected as director general of the WTO. Lamy served as a member of the French Socialist Party's steering committee and was chief of staff and representative of the European Commission for President Jacques Delors. Since 1995, he has served as a member of the Central Office of the Mouvement Européen (France) and as a member of the European Commission, responsible for trade.

    The Codex Commission will be meeting in Rome July 4-9 to adopt the final rules on dietary supplement use. Dr. Carolyn Dean, president of Friends of Freedom International, will attend this meeting and return to the U.S. just in time to present her report to the Sixth Annual Freedom 21 Conference in Reno, July 14-16.

    The Codex Alimentarius Commission's reach is much broader than dietary supplements. Its committees are also working on standards for pesticide residue, labeling of all kinds of foods, food additives and nutrients, veterinary medicine and drugs, as well as standards and methods for analysis. The function of this organization is to establish standards for all food worldwide and to enforce those standards through the power of the World Trade Organization.

    Few people know that there is such a thing as the Codex Alimentarius Commission. It was created to promote food safety in international trade. It is on the brink of becoming an Orwellian bureaucracy--far worse than the worst fantasies of the one-world conspiracy theories.

    The Codex Alimentarius Commission is neither fantasy nor theory; it is real.

    Minnie you have to be the angriest person I have seen on this board
    What up with that. No one is whining. We are doing a job. It is boring as sin and we all have a life beyond this job, which you don't seem to have. All anyone doing is venting through some of the rough spots that we all have from time to time. Give it a rest will ya
    But you say Labor Board denied this person.
    x
    Just make a note in your book and go on. Every book I read you can find an error
    or 2. Nobody is perfect. Lucky you only paid $60. New it is $80 or more.
    Buying a new computer and cant decide on LCD monitor or regular monitor. Any opinions out there. The
    LCD is 325.00 with 1 year warranty.
    WHY is this person allowed to post on the equipment board?
    q
    You are a FUNNY person. I'm glad you found this board!
    LOL
    Are you serious? Have you read this board?
    We have MT's on here all the time that are in foreclosure and losing their homes, who can't afford to buy clothes for their kids and shop at Goodwill, who need us to take up a collection for Christmas presents!

    Enough said!
    I read all the way down the board and only saw 1
    thread complaining. OH, I forgot this thread. Make that 2. I don't think that's so bad. Besides, people have to vent. Imagine if every time we got mad at our husbands or kids we just quit. Wouldn't work out too well.
    If you had read this board, you might would have
    thought differently. I just saw 1 person posting the other day and had stars in her eyes about the future of transcription even when others saying how it has gone down over the years. If I were younger and had just started, I think I would weigh very seriously the postings here, knowing they have experience in how this job has gone from 1 of being able to raise a family on to 1 of just chump change basically.
    should have read except on job seeker board
    except solicitations on Job Seeker boards here for MT/coding etc. 
    Read through all the posts on the New MT board. Top 3
    s
    Read your post on the other board....
    It discussed not having health insurance any more, not being an employee, having 2 IC jobs, etc. You speak of this as the CURRENT/FUTURE situation, not in the past. I know the subject of Keystrokes not hiring ICs has been addressed many times on this board.

    I don't mean to make you defensive, but you posted pretty much 2 separate messages about a single job and they give conflicting information. I'm just confused.
    Look down this board and read the thread titled
    "How to make money MT'ing" by Dano. It is excellent advice. It should help you a lot. Also on about page 4 or so there are a couple of threads that discuss how some of the higher producers get their production, hints and tips on expanders, macros, etc.

    You can do very well at this line of work if you want to and really appy yourself!!
    How do you do a search on this board - my topic will never come up and I know I have read about it
    nm
    People who read this board still apply
    at companies they are warned about.  Your book would not only be a waste of time, but no one will buy it. 
    I wish I had read this board before I joined Softscript

    Not only were they liars and cheats but they are incredibly Dumb.  The VP of Human Resources has to be one of the most incompetent people on the face of the earth.  No, don't quit your good job for THIS MESS.  Run away!  Run away!


    I'd be interested in joining that lawsuit... 


    Hayseed, I am so sorry to hear that. Last I read the board, sm
    you were very happy at DeVentura. How did it go so bad....!!!

    I wish you well.....Good luck!
    Here's a hint: Read the rest of the board.

    Yes, Jay certainly does read this board. I know because he threatened to sue me if I didn't remov

    certain posts some months ago essentially about the same subject content as now.  If Jay truly owes previous employees and current employees clearly it would behoove him to do so as it certainly doesn't look very good when his indiscretions are plastered all over MT sites.

    Just read on the AI board that Anthony Federov is dating
    Heather Cox.
    I hope that student doesn't read this board. sm

    I don't think this was a good place to look for a laugh at a student's expense, even though I suspect you weren't intending to be mean or condescending. We were all there once.


    After 30 years in this business, much of it in QA and QA management, I've gone back to transcription and I am still learning things from my QA people. Humiliating at times, yes! But its all a learning process.


    Oh yeah? Go to company board and read about Heartland's layoffs.

    it's really not fair to tell people to get into this business when it's obvious there's big trouble and the S--- is just starting to hit the fan...


    Read the tips from the poster at the top of the board about Word. Good suff! nm

    Someone should have reported him.

    PURPLE house! Something was wrong with this guy.


    She's right....he does at least need to be reported
