saying that is what happened, so either way, you know the person got and read it.

If the recipient does not acknowledge mail receipt, Outlook will not notify you.

Requesting a read receipt when sending an email is in no way considered being a

"control freak."  Do you also label people who send mail via the U.S. Postal Service as either Certified or Registered "control freaks?"


 


They don't acknowledge that either
I know Mother's Day and Father's Day are "manufactured" holidays, but nonetheless they do hold a bit of importance.  What's wrong with having one day that you take the time to let your mom know she's important to you? I'm not the type that expects jewelry from my husband and breakfast in bed. You know they say it's the thought that counts, and my kids don't think about it at all. They are old enough now. They'll be turning 22 and 19 in a couple of months. I babysit my grandson full time so my daughter can work. My son lives at home and I think we have a good relationship.  But days like yesterday, I realize that neither one of them really gives me much thought. I know it's a fake holiday, but since they both work (my son just got paid on Friday), it wouldn't have taken much for them each to pitch in less than $10 and have gotten me a plant or something...anything. How about just a phone call to say Happy Mother's Day...and not followed by "I didn't get you anything, but I can get you a card"....and not pulling a carnation out of your girlfriend's mother's bouquet to bring home.  Do you see what I mean? It's like leaving a penny for a tip.  I'm really feeling today like I have left so little impression on them, that I really must have been a bad mom because neither one of them really feels much of anything for me.
I think it is enough if you kids at least acknowledge the day - sm
In our family we really only do cards and when I was younger I did make things for my mom. I was teary all weekend too, but not because my family didn't honor me enough (both girls gave me cards they made, and a book mark the one made at school), my husband got me a very nice card and flowers my older daughter picked out. BUT I was PMSing myself, got it on Sunday, and normally I do not get all emotional, etc. but every now and then I do....I think my problem was it was my 2nd mother's day w/o my mom. Last year I did not have any trouble with it but I think that was because it was still new (only 8 months since her death) and with my younger daughter getting diagnosed with cancer and having surgery and chemo, Mother's day just did not register and I did not miss my mom that much since I had so much to deal with at that time. This year though things are better and I had time to dwell which was not good. You need to dwell less believe me, I made everyone miserable this weekend and am just starting to come out of it now. Be thankful your kids are healthy and can at least call you up and give you good wishes. As for the older kids birthdays, etc. just give them cards and nothing else, it might teach them something.
What to do when STM doesn't acknowledge you?

Any suggestions?  I have sent my STM multiple e-mails regarding various things (suggestions on how to improve things, questions regarding policies and procedures, etc.).  She never answers my e-mails.  How do you approach this?  I have been through this before and eventually ended up quitting my job because my STM treated me like crap after bringing up how I felt, so I am coming here in hopes that someone could give me an idea of how to approach this so I don't p*ss off my STM. 


Thanks.

I'm agnostic but I acknowledge that this country was
founded by Christians and that is our culture. If you have a problem with that, there are plenty of other places for you to live.
Please leave an email or email me at my address....click the email button. Thanks...nm

Yes - I agree - my 2 employers didn't even acknowledge MT week - so this was very nice

your post reads

to me as though you are an experienced MT who is looking to stay in the field, but would be interested in the other positions you mention, but that you do not have experience in the said other positions. 


That may not be how the poster who responded to your original message read it and it may not be the case, but, generally speaking, when someone wants to break into something they do not have experience with that something. 


If she reads get her a gift card for
Barnes and Noble or your local bookstore.  I get one every year for Barnes and Noble and it's my favorite gift.  If I don't feel like going out, I can order what I want on the net with the card.
I do believe the administrator reads most of these posts if not all.
So in fact I believe I was addressing the administrator letting her know my opinion as well. Don't get your panties in a wad over a harmless suggestion to skip something, I won't be continuing this nonsensical conversation any longer, enough said. See ya.
I disagree with both of these and hope the OP reads this too.
CHRIST can change a life, I have no doubt of that.  You sound like you really want this to work, and in time you'll find if your husband is being honest or not.  I think it's a great thing that you're willing to change religions to accommodate your relationship.  Seek out a church together where you can both be happy and fellowship and worship together (i.e., Methodist, Baptist, Assembly of God, etc).  Try one for a few weeks, then check out another.  Talk to people in your area about where they go to church, what it has to offer, etc.  Find the right fit your both of you.  I pray your husband is willing, because it will make your connection stronger.  He needs counseling, that's for sure.  If he truly is repentant and doesn't want to have this happen again, he will.  Forgiveness should be available if he's truly sorry for the life he's put you through.  BUT, if he hits you again after saying he won't RUN.  You and your kids deserve a better life than this and you truly sound like you've pretty much had all the responsibility up til this point, so you can do it.  God bless.
oh, okay... I hope someone reads your post

You might want to try posting on the state boards also.  They don't seem to be too popular, but its worth a try.  Maybe you can call around other satellite hospitals and ask?  Sorry your having problems. 


If you are an IC & your contract reads like an employee
treated as an employee you can also contact the Labor Board.
Very well written - hope he reads it! nm

agree- hope the OP reads your post
Sisters may be reaching out in a friendly way and to rebuff that would be sad. Even though forwards are irritating, I think most people agree, some are informative and some are good for a smile anyway
It reads like a response to a prayer request.
I will keep your thoughts in mind...
Would you be willing to transfer what the letter reads to this site? I just went to the mailbox and
nm.
Poll- who reads/proofs reports after typing?

do you quickly glance at the report, read it word-for-word, or just cross your fingers and hope you didn't miss anything?


I'm just curious. 


Return receipt sm

Years ago (many) I would have put the address, either block form to the left or tab to the middle for semi-block form and under the SUBJECT: or RE: line, I would have put Certified Mail No. 112233 or Registered mail # 112233 and then "return receipt requested" on that same line or underneath. If there is no subject, put it before the salutation. Today, I probably would put it under the initials at the bottom of the letter, in block form, just because I would like the appearance of it better, i.e.,


Sincerely yours,


(4 spaces)


Melissa M. Anonymous


MAM (or the dictator's initials and then yours)


Sent via certified mail #112233 - 3/9/06, return receipt requested.


 


I don't think it really matters. If you don't have a # yet, just put "Sent via certfied mail 3/9/06, return receipt requested." Don't take my word for it though, unless you don't find any samples, this is just my 2 cents.

RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

Dear so and so

body of letter
-
if you have your receipt, exchange it. nm

Why not use the receipt function in OE?
She would have to acknowledge the receipt of your emails (which I hope are encrypted for HIPAA compliance) and that would send a clear message that she is responsible for keeping the file on her end. I also would state that once I receive payment for work submitted to her, you delete those file (whether or not you actually do), but it will help her see she has to accept responsibility for running her business like a business.

This used to happen to me all the time and that was how I handled it. After the office caught on, I only had to resend files perhaps once every 3-4 months.
Oh he reads this board alright. I used to post my e-mail in my posts.
I use to post on the offshore board a lot.  He took the liberty of writing me and telling me his opinion several times. I finally just blocked his e-mail. He reads here.
I don't like those return receipt reqsts

I don't like those return receipt requests, unless business related, (I have 2 friends who did this a lot in outlook express but one has stopped requesting them per my spewing off about it and the other has not), as when I respond to their email, THAT's the confirmation that I received their email.  If I didn't receive their email or vice versa, usually the system's "mailer daemon" will notify you in any email (keyword is usually). 


Though I will say, my daughter sent me an email to yahoo that I NEVER got just a week ago.  Guess that one got lost in cyberspace.  *L*


Get one, save receipt, and if not happy with it,

In addition to your credit card receipt you should

get a printout of your payment and if they don't offer it, ask for it.   Be sure to check right away that they are showing you paid and if you have a receipt your payment was put in the system, which should eliminate this issue in the future. 


Billing an insurance company will give the insurance company a good laugh and will probably create further problems. 


MANY reasons to request a read receipt -
One of them is that someone claims to not receive your e-mail when everyone else in the world does. I finally figured out the person I was e-mailing was playing games. SO, not everything has to do with being a control freak.
Is there a way to get a read receipt back from someone who has web mail?
I seem to only be able to see if someone has actually opened up a mail I have sent with a read receipt attached if they have certain types of e-mail accounts.  Is there a universal way I can do this from my Outlook Express?  Thank you for any input here! 
the receipt function is only as good as the person --sm
receiving it. She is not *obligated* to send a receipt back. most people choose not to. they do not HAVE to. and I doubt her email is encrypted for HIPAA compliance.
Me, too. Only if I send receipt do they know it was read. False information.

Some emails that are sent do not warrant a written reply, so receiving a read receipt would
ensure that the information sent has been read/received.
you can use incredimail to get the receipt function, works with most normal emails by popping or how
to send the work to her, that way you have a receipt basically that it is sent and when she picked it up. it is crypted and doesn't take long to send and/or use. it is free download at hypersend.com. the free part does have a limit to how much can be sent a month, but i use several accts and swap when i run out of room. i had a company that didn't go through the MTSO to request resends, they went through me. i finally had to start billing. i billed 0.25 for every resend and it took my time to locate the file they wanted, attach, and resend for free. i didn't mind when it was occasionally, but to us time is money and when it takes away from your production, you should be compensated.
If you are having any problems validating your email addy, please email support@mtstars.com

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
Thwap the husband on the head, buy the keyboard, save the receipt, deduct it from your taxes.

I wouldn't even ask my husband for something like that, any more than he asks me if he can fill up his car with gas so he can get to work! Sheesh! What a prince of a guy you've got there....  You get your keyboard, girl! 


They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY

e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place.  The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you.  If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

I intended to email it- already email the mods to remove

Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone.  The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write.

San Antonio; email me; I can give you email for MT sm

who is in San Antonio and may be able to help you.


I'm in Corpus.


I have never been asked to show a receipt at Walmart. Is the Walmart you shop in a bad neighborhood
And the expensive stuff has an alarm on it for the cashier to take off. No receipt check. Just a greeter saying good-bye.
Buy if from your husband. Have him write you a receipt. Write it off completely or
depreciate it over a few years.
Can you email me? Email inside
Please email me as I need to find a good employer--trying to get rid of those golden handcuffs!  Thanks.  lsmithes@hotmail.com
and I also got an email in my home email--sm
address for a similar type of *job opportunity* today, although it was not this person's name. I can't believe the presumptiveness of some of these people! Don't they realize that they are taking jobs away from us and probably doing something illegal, to boot? I sent the email to the authorities this morning after reading it. T'd me off!
