I laughed when I saw that I cannot find my way

In Reply to: question - sm - anon

out of my driveway, sounds exactly like me. I get lost within a 2 mile radius of my home. It is awful not to have any direction in life at all. I don’t know my east, west, north or south directions either. Do not feel alone because you arent. Thanks for the info, though!

I don't think I have ever laughed so much about posts
on this board.  Craps me up more than my Walmart list.
I just had someone offer me 5.5 cpl. I laughed and said no thanks - nm

I almost laughed out loud at what he did.
This has happened to me many times before as well. And I am always disgusted. I think that I laughed to myself because in my mind I could hear the belch, nice and juicy, and know how typically disgusting this is of these guys. Uggg. I am sorry for you, and feel for you. But it actually lightened up my day to think that I am not alone in this job. Hope your dictators are better the rest of the day.
OMG! laughed right out loud at this one sm

brand spanking new PA student dictating for the first time this week! (hoo-boy).  I thought I heard her wrong when she said "uncontributory" (I didn't), but I about fell on the floor when she gave me.....wait for it......


"no ee-lik-it drug use"  BWAAAAAAAHHAAAAAA. 


Thanks so much. Even laughed a little instead of feeling sorry for myself. nm

A lot of people laughed when they said there would be an internet (sm)

and people could connect worldwide.  We are working, but so are the scientists to find a better way.  Learning about the subject did give me some understanding of the whole thing.  Do you suppose a lot of these MTs jumped on board so they could make a fortune and then retire?  They knew they'd be out of a typing job.


It looks like Tessier is saying it's going to take a long time, maybe to benefit those who are still working, but it is not taking that long.


All I would say is to go with your gut.  I'm glad I did.  I love to type, but cannot stop the new technology.  We went from VCRs to DVDs.  From regular television to digital and cable.  Personally, I doubt it will be that long.  Good luck, whatever you do!


When that first came out, I laughed so hard I pee'd my britches!

Sure, go for 12 cpl IF you want to get laughed out the office door!

I laughed when I read your post because
one of the magazines I get each month through the mail, believe Family Circle for this month, did survey on happiness. What they found is that parents happier with their children as babies, young but lordy, lordy as they matured how the numbers went down and really went down to nearly unsatisfied levels as that child reached adulthood, down to a less than 10% if I remember correctly- sorry just let my aunt have my magazines for this month so cannot put a finger on it. Maybe someone else has the same magazine and can let us know. It is all sugar and spice as children but not so satisfying when teens and older.
I laughed so hard I was almost crying! nm

I laughed out loud for 5 minutes.
Thank you!
Is it wrong that I actually laughed out loud at that sentence???
YIKES...good luck!!!
I must say, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time
The above "Frank" conversation is a classic..  You guys have made my year with this one. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo FUNNY!  You two are in the wrong line of business.  Thanks for making my day.  I laughed 'til my stomach hurt.
I don't know why I laughed so hard at this post! Guess I needed it.

I agree...tooo funny...first time I laughed out loud all day!
thanks!

ROTFLMAO. STOP!!! I haven't laughed this hard for a long time.
Can you imagine 10,000 MQMTs just wanting to show Frank a personal touch?  He will be one tired guy.
go to chat room on web site and find out. i'm working but if you find out, let me know.
creepy dude.
Had one lady type "virginal candidate" instead of "surgical candidate". We laughed abou
for days. 
I find most of my abbreviations here. Scroll all the way down until you find the abbreviation box.

I didn't find an 800 number, but I did find this number...
1 650-253-0000

I find that if I ....sm

get over-tired I'll have more problems with palpitations than when I'm well rested.  I also have them more if I've been taking in more caffeine.  While these palpitations are harmless they are annoying, aren't they?


So find a new job already
It's your own fault if you stay and put up with it.  Complaining doesnt change a thing. Find a new job, we have all done it! 
Did they say why? Did you ask? Did you go find another job?

Got me, but when you find out
please let me know too. I've had that in the past and it's freaky. The phone company couldn't even tell me where they came from!
find it odd??
There are many countries world-wide including Cuba and Iran that have offered help.  Many celebs have pledged millions too.
Can't find out anything.
If I hear "Corporate says" one more time, my head will explode. It's like they lost the ability to think on their own and are robots. makes me mad

Hey - Tell me what you find out! THX!
no message
How did you find this out? sm
Was there a story on the Web or do you know a Phillips executive or what?  Just curious.
I FIND IT
THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE PROBABLY OLD AND MENNONITE AND ARE JUST A DOWN RIGHT MISERABLE PERSON.........GO AND CRAWL BACK INTO YOUR HOLE YOU BIG OL' GRUMP!
Maybe you should find something else right now
and if you're unhappy with what comes up in October, then you'll be up and running with another option?

Hey, how about YOU find something better
You are a psycho b***ch!! GET OFF THIS BOARD!!
can someone tell me where to find

other listings for MT jobs besides this site and mtjobs.com?  i'd even be interested in things outside of mt as long as i can do it from home.....need to change to something better soon - like yesterday!


 TIA!


I got into this because I could not find a job elsewhere. sm
And I found I was good at it, but I have always wanted out, though I have been here 25 years (needs of the family outweighed my "wants").

I think in my next life I want to be a government assassin or something like that.
Where do you find a job like that?
.
Who says she HAS to find another man?

I firmly believe that the girl doesn't have to get the guy at the end in order for there to be a happy ending. 


Her husband can still be a good dad to his daughter without the two of them being married.  If she is unhappy and the situation isn't good for her other child, she should seriously consider leaving.  Just my opinion.


Once you find it...

Even after you find it, you will pay $25 to have the entries added to SpeedType - AND after already paying nearly $200 for the program.  I found that ridiculous.  The included instructions for adding the entries yourself do not work, so you are rather forced to have them do it for you.  Personally, I think that is a bit of a rip off.  I still have SpeedType sitting here unused, because I told them the fee was just not right, and they should include instructions that work! 


Gosh, that didn't help much. 


 


 


how do i find one of those?

oh well, just some of them need to find...N/M

IF they really have to, then they should find
a humane way to do it. I have a feeling though that it wasn't something that was necessary to begin with.

Also, because it was mentioned, even animals raised for food consumption have feelings, are smart, etc. In my eyes, a cow is no different than a dog....it's just what everyone has been raised as acceptable.

If any animals have to die though, it needs to be done humanely. If you want to see some things that are barbaric, go visit a slaughter house, a chicken farm or fur farm right here in our own country. We are no different. We are just not running around in the streets with clubs in our hands.
Thanks. I will try to find it!

What you find out-
Please let me know what you find out from your CPA.  I need to make an appointment with an attorney before I decide anything else.  Makes me wonder what this world is coming to.  We have legitimate deductions.  It is not like we get cash for our work (at least I do not).  We get a 1099 every dang year.
Trying to find...
A good recipe for hashbrown casserole.  The hospital where I used to work made a delicious kind and I'm gonna **try** to reproduce it! :)
Is there any way you can find out
what make and model you liked at your in-house job? I bought 3 different EXPENSIVE chairs that seemed to have the same features as a chair I loved, but none of them had what one favorite chair did for me. Finally I got a job that happened to have the same chair, and it actually belonged to another Transcriptionist in the office. I bought it from her because this chair hasn't been made since the 1990s. It's a Herman Miller, looks like ER200 or EP200, but what it does for me is take the weight off my ischial tuberosities AND conform to my lower back. While this chair did have a lot of enthusiasts in offices I've worked, others have other favorites. The best test is actually using a chair for 2 weeks, unfortunately.
Did you find one?

I find that if

I turn away from my screen and read over my shoulder, I can catch errors that I normally wouldn't because of concentration required.


 


Let us knows if you find some.

But when they find out you know
I have found my doctors will talk with me in their language, not breaking it down so with lay person. Go to the same ones,not a problem there. I have found the providers usually read what kind of work you do and start off asking you about your profession. Years ago before the physician diagnosed me with hypothyroidism, I told him what was the problem, had all the classic symptoms, asked him to check TSH, T3 and T4. He said needed physical done and yet he forgot to order tests. I returned, no tests. I said that was the issue in the first place- needless to say when the tests came back immediately referred to endo as tests way over the top for the norm. If I had not done this type of work, if had not known symptoms, might have suffered longer than I did. I also told a relative one time to ask their doctor for an appetite stimulant, wrote down the name and their appetite came back whereas before skin and bones type appearance with their inability to eat. This knowledge has paid off for me sometimes.
s/l you need to find a job outside of MT. If your CTS
has become an issue and surgery isn't an option (I'm assuming since you don't have insurance you aren't considering it) it doesn't seem like a company change would help, sounds more like you just need a job change.   Maybe part of the depression is you have come too isolated too, so getting a "real" job would help there also. 
Oh please! If you don't like your job, find another one. nm
