Hmm, I've gotten several calls from "out of area" on my caller ID....SM
over the last couple weeks. I don't answer them, and the caller never leaves a message. The calls can come during the day or early evening.
I wonder if it could be MQ....
I've got a candy sucker...
She just rattles that hard candy around clacking against her teeth and makes sucking sounds... Lovely! UGH!
Should've held out for the candy bar and refuse to leave till you get it!

I've lost track of how many people who've asked about it to NOT

In a software program or how your screen looks "out here?" nm

I don't answer "out of area" or "unavailable." That's why I have caller ID.

Can you use a plus sign for hyper and minus sign for hypo?

I've known people that had their CMT that did
really crappy work and not even sure how they got their CMT. This one woman had had 6 jobs in less than 9 months and was fired from my company. She seemed to think she was superior and she wasn't getting what she was worth becauase after all she had her CMT (which she must have said every other sentence), but in reality she did sorry work (at least she did for my company).
I have 20 years of experience and have no desire to get my CMT. My MTSO said my work is excellent and that I'm paid at the highest rate that they pay and that having my CMT wouldn't make a difference. Some companies say they pay higher for CMT, but most don't.
I've never understood why some people consider...
certain jobs to be more important than others. The old cliche "Any job worth doing is worth doing well" comes to mind.
I believe that a person what does for a living doesn't have any bearing on how valuable that person is or how important that person is. Some of the most wonderful people I've ever known don't have what some might feel are "important" jobs, but they are wonderful people nonetheless.
And, some people who have what some might consider higher class jobs (boy, I hate that outlook) are some pretty miserable human beings.
People are people . . . and their worth isn't tied to their job in my book. I want to be a good person, and what I do for a job doesn't have anything to do with that.
If a store manager is a good person, doing a good job, he's  to me.
I wish some people would get off their high-horse!
I started posting as a former bank manager in a thread about consumer credit counseling. It seemed relevant at the time. 
You are all some of the most heartless people I've ever met. sm
I honestly can't believe some of the replies posted to me - this being one of them. You may not agree with my advice, but I saw the OP was in pain and I offered her a shoulder to cry on, and the best advice I know. Her original post made it sound like her and the children were truly in trouble, and I honestly tried to help. I shared what is probably the most painful thing to ever happen in my life, and your answer to that is to call me an idiot.
Let's get one thing straight here -- I was talking about actual abuse ... you know, the kind where he threw me across the front porch and broke 3 of my ribs. It didn't happen in front of the kids... it never did... he would never do that in front of them and tarnish his "image" .. but he did have a temper in front of them, and they saw that often enough.
I thought the poster was actually being physically abused, like her original post said. I offered her some advice. If you don't like it, I'm truly sorry for that. But I seriously can't believe what heartless, hurtful people you can all be. You actually made me cry... and believe me, it's not easy to make me do that anymore.
I've been told by recruiters and HR people that
they've never met anyone who scored 100% before. I did! Poor little uneducated lifeguard me. No little MT certificate. Oh, no!
There's one thing that I've seen stop many many people....
A heart attack or cancer. My father-in-law SWORE he could not quit not matter what, but had a coronary and that was his last cigarette. My own father quit cold turkey after 3+ packs a day when he began coughing so hard he couldn't catch his breath. I've also known people who had a cancer scare and were able to quit. If nothing else, FEAR will do it. Unfortunately, waiting for the fear might be too late for many.
You will run across some pretty rude people around here as you've seen...(sm)
but not everyone is like the one above. Welcome. I don't have any of my own clients, but the service I work for recently lost the account I worked on pretty much out of the blue. It's a real shock to have the work yanked from you like that, and I agree it was pretty cowardly for the wife not to just come out and admit when you directly asked. I don't know what to tell you but just wanted you to know that you can expect some real nastiness around here at times, but don't let it keep you away.
I've told about 100 people total. THEY DON'T

I've worked for companies that needed people
specifically to do certain reports. I have been hired to exclusively do ERs and discharge summaries before. It wasn't cherry picking either. They needed someone to catch up their backlog and keep the reports within TAT permanently. Evidently, other people were cherry picking and bypassing these report types because they're not as good of money makers as Ops or H&Ps.
I refuse to go to Imail...I've gotten a virus from there and so have many other people. nm

I do. I've worked closely with these people for years,

I've heard people have to try a new food 10 times before they know for sure they won't like it
I heard that somewhere.
I had a SIL who actually SAT on her young children and force-fed them new foods if they refused them at the table. We were appalled, but weirdly, the kids often got up from the floor and happily ate the food they were just force-fed!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - animals know things people don't.

Please, guys, surely you've seen these people's work SM
and are appalled at the very low quality. When training, I worked alongside one of them. The quality was atrocious, but she put out vast quantities of it, moving many reports a day for the hospitals and making lots of money for herself and her employer, so her job was actually very secure in spite of the many complaints that came in from the unfortunate clinicians who received her work.
But her speed cannot even begin to compare with that of a computer, or couldn't. I imagine she's safely retired now and doesn't have to face the change-or-get-out that will be required of other content slobs.
I've had people tell me that I would need to wait to have my questions answered until I worked...
for them. What??? How would I know if I want to work for them if they don't answer my questions.
Go figure.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I've seen quite a few names, first and last, of people
mgmt on this board in the past, in similar situations, which is why I felt I could post this question. I certainly don't think I was not being tactful to the people I asked about, as I complimented them and enjoyed working with them. I wouldn't mind my name being on this board if someone said something nice about me.
I don't know! I've heard people live longer with a healthy sex life.

I am NOT lying! It's the truth. I've received solicits from at least 8 people overseas.
SITE ADMINISTRATOR: PLEASE ESTABLISH A BOARD FOR THE MQ PEOPLE, TRUST ME THEY'VE EARNED IT!!!!!

That is true, when you sign up you sign up from the
day your former insurance terminated. Then it is on a month to month basis.
candy
how bout Bonomo turkish taffy, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. De-lish.
Candy and gum
I'd have to say absolutely yes!!! Especially the candy clicking on the teeth. And just plain eating gets on my nerves. Guess they just don't realize that there is an actual person on the other end having to listen to this junk.
Oh, and cussing too. I absolutely hate it when they start cussing!
Paul is still eye candy, even in his 60s. nm

hard candy
A wise old pediatrician told me long ago if you like hard candy, buy Life Savers - there is a reason for the name of that candy, hole in the middle, lets you breathe if stuck in your throat he said. Hot tea and white bread will help those problems. I had a child inhale a chocolate small easter egg and I had to tip him upside down as heimlich did not work, and he spit it out. It is very scary and I hope you are okay. take care and buy some life savers............
Congrats. See's is the BEST candy.

THANKS MTStars! The See's Candy tin arrived.
I cannot wait to dive into it!
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.
Poll: What is your favorite Halloween candy? s/m
I always get a craving for candy corn this time of year!
Sugar free candy suggestions? (sm)
My father-in-law is diabetic and we are visiting him tomorrow. I'd like to find him some yummy candy before I leave town. Wal-Mart is the closest store to the interstate that is 24-hour. Any suggestions for what I could find there? Thanks. 
hahahaha! So, you don't like my wart? Hey, I have about 10,000 candy corns here right now! No kid

I could NEVER trust myself around 10,000 candy corn, or even 100! they'd be gone in no time
but I would lie and say your wart is very becoming on you....in return for maybe 10 candy corn and about 5 of those pumpkin things

Brooke is there for the guys. Eye candy like Dave Navarro.
Although I must admit Dave adds a lot more to the show than Brooke, I do understand why she is there. Something for everybody to draw a crowd.
Milk chocolate. Forget the rest of the candy.
I like most of the mini chocolate bars, but especially Butterfinger, KitKat, and Mr. Goodbar.
I hear mine suck hard candy all day. LOL sm
He's also done a few of those breathier burps. Yuck You'd think with his ability to edit over the dictation, he'd want to get rid of them, or at least say excuse me. LOL
So you enjoyed the candy? LOL! My daughter completed college at FIU and

Candy corn is my fave, but not the Sam's Choice stuff. Eww. The only chocolate I really love is S
what's on Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I always wonder what it is that they do to their chocolate to make it so good.
