others fools because they can't appreciate humor or don't like their views are the people who are missing the point and can't see anything but their sorry situation. When you sit in judgement of others from your high horse of course you can't find humor or anything else. Really get over yourself or crawl back into your imagination where you are queen.

Defensive people make the most errors
I bet... if you are good you would be quiet, if you are a bad MT you will blast poor QA lady all day.
People know not to call me
on Monday nights. Can't miss a minute of it. I think it's best show also. Poor Edgar!
The people who call me from India are AM
ALWAYS polite, agreeable, call me "ma'am", say please and thank you, etc. They at least attempt to seem concerned with what I need from the company.
ANY MQ SE PEOPLE GET THE PHONE CALL YET?
What is this all about?
Here we go again. You call other people liars because YOU can't do
what we do? That is just not very nice. Think about what you've said!
I do acute care. I wouldn't touch clinic work with a 10-foot pole, because I'd starve. Operative notes only, but for four hospitals in one state and one hospital in another state. I don't usually check my line count every day but I can tell you that I do 150 minutes in 5 hours just nearly every day. Rarely do I work longer than that.
Please be nicer to people who have come here offering to help you. I'm not selling anything and I never was sure the OP was, but every time this subject comes up, people come and try to help, only to be called liars and scoffed at.
I hope I don't get myself banned from the board for this, because I'm telling the truth.
No I don't call people from the internet...sm
Never really thought about it.
Funny how people call you 'racist when you
Ever call people you meet online?
I feel a little weird calling someone that I met online. Yet several people have left me their phone numbers to call them just to chat or some ask me to IM (instant message) them. Are they too trusting? Am I too mistrusting? It just feels weird to me. I am on my own. No kids or anything. Soon to be 45 years old. So I guess maybe that comes across in my e-mails that I am lonely and they are just trying to be nice. However, I would prefer just to leave a message on the message boards like this one or send an e-mail. I guess I want to know if others are exchanging phone numbers over the internet and IMing people they meet over the internet? The people I meet are usually people suffering from autoimmune disorders or people in chronic pain. They are usually responding to a message I left. I can't do anything about this condition so I try to focus on others and offer whatever words of encouragement I can over the internet to those suffering.
call credit card people immediately
and dispute charge (the back of your bill should give you the procedure on this) WRITE down everything you have done for the record. Yes, you absolutely must contact someone who knows something at hotel.com and be sure you contact the Atty General of your state and the state where hotel.com is headquartered, not to mention the BBB. Hotel.com has just got a load of bad publicity - don't forget to point that out to them. They also need to reimburse you for any charges incurred.
Be sure to keep a paper trail...emails will work. Good luck to you.
People may call repetition of this thread 'boring', but - sm
I think it needs to be repeated over and over again to anyone who will read and/or listen, in order for this truth to finally sink in. Many of us seem to have been brainwashed by the industry's rhetoric about a 'global economy' (i.e., lowering of living standards in the US?), and 'that's just how things are, now - get used to it.') I think the future of MT as a US industry, as opposed to a purely offshore, sweatshop industry, depends on this message getting out there.
I totally agree...how old are we to call other people stupid???
Give me a break...we do not go to school for countless number of years and just because we have to correct a doctor's spelling on certain things, doesn't mean we are smarter than they are...give me a break...if you were expecting to making 75,000 in this field you made the wrong career decision...how about a little bit of respect for a fellow MT...
oh sorry grammar police...but you did call people stupid..
that was not taken out of context
Same people who properly call the bird African GREY

Not defensive, trying to help you. LOL
I just read it and if it doesn't apply to me I keep moving right on!
It doesn't sound like you are able to even discuss it without posturing a bit.
Relax. If you're not doing anything wrong, why be upset?!
lol A little defensive, are we?! lol
your post sounded as if you were encouraging parents to use allowances to their kids as a tax scam. It DOES read that way.
Anyway, what's up with your comment about you not having kids, parents not paying taxes, and expecting others to pay for their education? ROFL
It doesn't sound like you have a great retirement, Patti. It sounds like you are very bitter and if it rains you risk drowning with that nose so high in the air!
It should be pointed out to you that those having children are the reason the country continues -- if everyone were like you about having children, this country would dry up and blow away! LOL
Great retirement? LOL Yeah, I just bet you do!!
Awfully defensive...
for someone who feels so great about what she did, aren't you?! just me is correct in her statement of what comes around goes around. You should keep a watchful eye behind you...cuz it'll happen to you some day too!
And YOU are a tad too defensive
Where there's smoke...
Well, you know the rest of that expression if you're American, right?
;-)
Why are you defensive? No one called your name
and again, there are plenty here who state they want to stay at home with their children, not loving this profession but way to hold kindergarten while you work, I guess. You are a newbie, you stated, so you really have no idea basically of how this profession has progressed over the years. It has not gone up, rather down.
your defensive posts of this admin = the most..
.
Not defensive at all, but if you read the post,
:negative reinforcement:, to me that reads abuse. I just want to make it very clear I have never abuse any of my pets. That's all. I am not trying to be defensive at all and apologize if that is the way it was taken.
your post sounds kind of defensive and gay.
get over it.
ridiculous blanket statement about defensive
so not true - where DO you get your information from that defensive people make lots of errors....hmmmm? Are you one of those psychobabble psychologists? 
you sound just as bitter and defensive, so we're square. nm
b
Your response sounded angry, defensive and judgmental
you gave for "walking away from the rat race." I don't buy it. I've had tough times in my life too, probably as tough as yours. It's your choice. You can either work harder and refuse to accept crap for yourself or you can get angry and bitter, which is what you've apparently done. If you're talking about turning in soda bottles for deposits, people are naturally going to deduct from that that you are or have been poor. You said it, I didn't. So if you choose to "give up," that's up to you. I chose to make something of myself nomatter what or how long it took. Read Plato's "The Republic." It's the difference between Gold, Silver and Bronze.
Thank GAWD no one has to deal with you personally..you are rude, inconsiderate, unpolite, defensive
Geesh lady!!
This post made you defensive, just like those e-mail nastygrams make us feel.

if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
*70 will disable call waiting unless you are expecting a call and want it on (nm)

On-call requires on-call compensation by law
This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job. Call me!
Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
.
If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
so many people was wishy-washy nowadays...love to see people make
a stand for what they believe in...
it is kind of wierd those statements have to be made in the first place but guess we are an ever-transitioning country and are still young. so many different beliefs yet not much tolerance.
I found your post respectful, and right on as to how you feel. it does not seem that difficult to sift through to read and respond to messages someone might not care for...
Just remember that it is not the people on this board who short changed their people and ONLY after
caught did they (after they were suied) make an effort to look good by sending out these checks. Now, think about this--had they done this many years ago when they short changed everyone, that would have been honest. Does it not bother you that only after they know they are under the gun that they are doing this to try and make themselves look good?
I used to work for MQ and I used to like what I did. I never can say I really liked the people that I worked with, but I really think they had some of the best accounts that I have ever come across in the MT industry. I loved working the major teaching hospitals that I did, but that certainly does not mean that I enjoyed being cheated out of pay.
So chill already. People have been cheated, were lied to, and only AFTER they got caught have they tried to return some of the money they robbed us of (as well as cheated their clients).
We all have reasons not to be happy with this company and you go off on us because we are complaining of things like small refund checks of a penny or a few cents or a few hundred dollars and NO WAY to even check to find out if this is correct?
I am sorry you are unhappy all of us thinking that there is still a dead rat in the cellar, but there is still a dead rat in the cellar and nothing will bring the dead rat back.
I would hold no love for a company that I know willingly cheated the very people who helped THEM make money out of their hard-earned money.
Go take a deep breath and think about that.
My people skills are just fine. I just want to hire people who want to work.
I've not been ugly, I've asked questions, legitimate ones. Please tell me what is wrong with that. This site is not just for MTs, it is for QA Editors, Supervisors, Service Owners, there's even sections for Billers, Coders, and Nurses.
rude people? I would take good pay over polite people any day
Besides that they have never been rude to me and I have been here for almost 2 years. What do you consider a bad account?
I know my account is a little tough, but I am used to it. I am tough!
Rude people? I hardly think so. They are some of the nicest people I have ever worked with. sm
Not just management, but QA as well. No one is rude. They are a very understanding staff. There is one account that is hard but all it takes is getting used to it. Once you are used to it, it is no harder than any other ESL account that you would do anyplace else. I have heard all these things about TH from the archives and I have yet to come across rudeness or any kind of thing that I have read about in the archives. I would definitely pursue them if I were you. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
2 people to do that amount of work, is she nuts? More like 20+ people - nm

Certain people getting raises, certain people not. Guess who is?
Say what you will about unions, the good and the bad. But, one thing they did ensure is a raise, good benefits and that you would have a job in the morning.
Yeah right, OF COURSE! How could there be other people who don't like QA people?
Could only be one. Hahaha. Dream on.
I agree, some people will never get it but, then again, what does it say about them as people? Not

Call the doc and get an Rx....sm
My 3 kids had hand, foot, and mouth disease and the lesions in their mouths was just awful!! When they got chicken pox about a year after that one of my kids had them in her mouth and the doctor prescribed the same mouth rinse. They swished it around and spit it out and they stayed numb for hours! They finally got rest that way and so did I!! Go luck to you and hope all is well soon.!
you may need to call the doc (sm)
cause when I had the chicken pox, the same think happened to me and they did spread to my throat and became infected. I had to take antibiotics...I remember so well cause I was 13 YO when I had them. Also, it is Maalox and Benadryl, and viscus lidocaine, but I think that is Rx only. I'd call the doc if it were my child.  give them a hug for me, I know how they feel!
I would call
your local humane society first and speak to them about the matter. First, do a little investigation while your neighbors are gone.....does the dog have fresh water and food during the day? Does he have shelter at all times from the sun or from storms? It is totally a bad thing for any animal to be kept on a chain. Look real hard and try to find out anything they are doing wrong with that poor pup. Actually just calling the humane society or animal control about his constant barking should bring them out to talk with the owners. Let us know how it goes for you. I know it has been unpleasant for you but, as you apparently realize, it is even worse for that dog. This is your chance to help him.
call first
I would contact Hotels.com first to see why they only reimbursed partial. That is ridiculous. I would be upset. How long ago did they bill your credit card? I'd call your credit card company and dispute the charge. Most credit card companies will fight it for you.
Good Luck!!
You call that a different POV?
the point is how this person has attacked the OP. They were rude and it was uncalled for. so the next time you have a concern and bring it here, we can rip you apart instead of give support and you can chalk it up to it being a different POV.
I get so SICK of some people trying to make excuses for bad behavior.
We call them
PIG NUTS up here! LOL They are good, though.
call in 1-800
MedT:
idigital through transcriptiongear.com is very very reliable. You pay for what you use. I have been with them for over four years now and you dont worry about anything.. Check out the website and give them a call.
On Call Pay..
I know someone who works as a computer tech. When she is on call for a weekend, she gets paid $3 an hour for every hour she is given "on call" duty, so basically from 5 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Monday, she is paid $3 an hour, whether she has a "trouble" call or not. When she does get a call it is usually 15-30 minutes to deal with it, and it rarely happens. I think she has a great deal. She is not a transcriptionist, but is employed by a hospital.
On Call Pay
Thanks Pam. That gives me an idea of price range.
