Just received mine Saturday. More or less the same thing we were emailed last week. Kind of repeated

that. Just curious about benefits for SE. Never heard of that. The letter might have been a little more explicit about things but still nothing on what the pay plan is.

Funny thing I see the same errors repeated for over a year now of training no matter how many times
you correct it. I think you had better get your facts straight HON.
Leaving this Saturday for a week...

in Bethany Beach, DE.  My parents rent the house and my family of 5 and my sister's family of 4 plus Mom and Dad all go together.  The beach is almost in our back yard and there is outlet shopping paradise in Rehobeth, not to mention seafood, seafood, seafood!  Can't wait!



Kind of like that Saturday Night Live skit about subliminal messages.

I always thought that was hilarious.  Some of these doctors are so transparent in the tone of voice and when you get their reports over and over, you can almost tell by their choice of words (and the background conversation when flirting with the nurses) that they're chauvinistics going through middle-age crisis.  Can you see it:


HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:   The patient is an elderly 45-year-old female (I only go for young blondes) who is here complaining (I hate whiners) of a migraine headache that has waxed and waned over the past 2 days (must be that time of the month).


PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:  Hypertension, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia (did I say I hate whiners?).


MEDICATIONS:  None.


ALLERGIES: None.


SOCIAL HISTORY:  The patient is currently employed as a secretary,is married (how does her husband put up with it), and currently lives in ___. 


FAMILY HISTORY:  No history of CVA or TIA.  Positive history for coronary artery disease, migraine headaches, and anxiety (now I see where the whining comes from).


PHYSICAL EXAMINATION:  Vital signs:  Temperature 98.6 degrees, heart rate 72, blood pressure 110/65, respirations 20.  Weight is 140 lbs (whatta cow).  GENERAL APPEARANCE:  This is an obese female, well-nourished (obviously) who appears her stated age (not Jessica Simpson by a long shot). HEENT: Face is symmetric (including both of her chins).  PERLA, EOMI. No nystagmus. NECK: Supple (I hate having to say supple when it's as flabby as this one).  No tenderness.  LUNGS: Clear to auscultation.  BREASTS: Symmetrical.  No masses (Not bad for an old woman). ABDOMEN:  (Ughhhhhhhhhh) Obese, flabby, nontender.


Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.  When you hear these dictators over and over with such obvious distaste in their voices you wonder if the patients sense it or if they put on such a good act that the patients don't even realize.


 


I received 2 job offers from posting here just last week.

Mine is not a happy story. I emailed it to you.

I received mine from Zylomed North Florida. You may want to call them. nm

Do you even know how this kind of thing works?
The governor of a state is responsible for assessing potential disasters, the amount of assistance that is immediately available and if it is not enough in his/her opinion he/she is to contact the federal government and request assistance. Kathleen Blanco did not do this, underestimated the storm and the amount of resources she had available to her in her area and dropped the ball.

She's no Rudy Guiliani, plain and simple.

Take a middle school Civics class and try to keep up.

The feds were warning those people to get out of there a week ago and they did not. If blame must be placed, Blanco dropped the ball and was unqualified for her job as governor, and the residents there are idiots for staying in the path of a Category 5 hurricane when they were warned to evacuate days before it hit.

I'm so sick of the "nobody likes me because I'm poor" attitude of helplessness that got those people poor and kept them that way in the first place.
I don't normally type this kind of thing: sm

Calculated aortic valve area 0.6 square centimeters. 


 


How do i format this correctly?


I try to be aware of this kind of thing...
and make sure to attend all family functions of this sort, just so no one can say the same thing about me!  But, I agree with you, I wouldn't go to the shower either. Just curious, is your mom going? How about your sister? (Yes, I'm nosy!)
LOL It's not your call for that kind of thing.

Mine don't go back until Sept. 7 - VA - get out usually 2nd week in June - nm

thank goodness, mine started back last week!

Talk is fine but enough with the repeated whining. sm
I think you are right.  You should not leave MQ until you have another job and absolutely, you should not settle for just anything.  While it is true MQ has put you were you are today, there is nothing that says you have to stay down.  Take your future in your own capable hands and run with it.  And I don't agree that where MQ goes, there goes the rest of us.  I would like to think MQ will teach us all a lesson as to what NOT to put up with.  And if we all make a stand against companies like MQ, I would hope all of our futures can be brighter.  I think that also means not sitting quietly by while our jobs are offshored.  Refuse to deal with offshore call centers and service centers.  It is a small step but we have to start somewhere.  Management of these companies has no job except for us, for that matter, state employees on up to the top, have no jobs without us.  There is no reason for any of us to take bad treatment without fighting back.  I think the future CAN be changed, if we all stick together and make our voices be heard. But whining incessantly just makes people turn a deaf ear to your complaints after a while.  A blog would give all MQers a place to support and sympathize with each other.
Mine does the same thing - sm
I work in the BR and in order for him to sleep have a desk lamp which is up on top of my hutch, which has an adjustment arm which I can push up/pull down so the light is only on my desk, it also has 3 settings, so it is on low when he is in bed. I need light, he does not understand that and thinks the monitor should be enough light, but this is the compromise we worked out and it works for us. Lack of light causes eye strain, which in turn will give you a headache; so I would say it is better to have some light!
Mine is definitely Taylor. He does his own thing and if he doesn't win

he'll be regularly employed that's for sure. 


mine is fine...sounds like a monitor resolution thing--
or perhaps, did you download an antivirus update or something. maybe your video card acting up?? just suggestions.
sorry, i didn't read your post before I posted mine...says the same thing, pretty much! :) nm

Is there engineer week? Astronaut week? Veterinarian week?

Got it on Saturday

Started first with diarrhea at 11:30, then nausea and by 5:30 couldn't take anything p.o.  By 9:30 there was no GU production anymore and by 11:30 I went to the hospital.  I got 500 of normal saline, 8 mg of Zofran and I asked the doc for a GI cocktail (he did a double take...apparently not eveyone knows about it).  Sent me home in 3 hours with Phenergan to take at home.  I just started feeling back to normal on Tuesday but was still about to work Mon and Tues.


I feel your pain.

This has been on here since Saturday
How come still here???
Saturday
Today is Saturday.
I won't B dateless this Saturday...
I'm going to see ELTON JOHN in Cincinnati!!! YES! Quite a dream come tru for this old 70's teenager. I've never been to a rock concert in my life - what should I expect? (shudders)
Work every Saturday
Sometimes Sundays too
by the way, SNL last Saturday was a RERUN.

Sounds like me on Saturday, when I get done in 3 hrs,
xxxxx
Meet me here Saturday night.
I would love to chat.  I'll be working Saturday evening if you want to check back then.
Saturday night chat. SM
After all my efforts to get some use out of the chat rooms, I have to tell you that I will be unavailable Saturday night. Hopefully, others who are aware of the potential for someone to be in there will take advantage and join in.

Anyway, thanks for the effort scc. Hope we can hook up another time.
I'm bored and dateless on a Saturday night...
Is it my basic personality?
Only "bath night" in our house was Saturday

You're like school on a Saturday, "Babe"...

No class. 


   


I worked 2 hrs 35 last Saturday and got my 1200 for the 8-hour day sm
Had the same epiphany. End result? I have worked 72 the past 2 weeks (not quite 80, not till tomorrow). How much money have I made? $2000 at 8.5 cpl SO FAR, I have to work tomorrow.
I work Tuesday through Saturday on the night shift. sm
I really like the off shifts when no one else wants to work. I get a lot of work at those times, and I don't mind being out having fun when everyone else is at work.
Monday night- Friday, and either Saturday or Sunday, or both -sm
I usually goof off Saturday (or do very minimal work Friday night and Saturday) and then regret it and have have about 130 minutes to do on Sunday, does not make for a fun day.
They made him lose 20 pounds for Saturday night fever, so he's always

my 18 yo daughter will be working for a grocery chain out here starting Saturday.

It will be interesting to see if she gets any tips ... or will be allowed to. She's going to be starting at $1 over minimum wage but has to pay union dues. She just quit a restaurant job where the business received tips that were to be divied up between the staff. She got lots of tips at her tables that she had to put in the tip jar. She never saw a penny in her pocket from those tips.


Personally, I've never tipped the baggers, but they do work hard!


Typically this week is a slow week in lots of places

because it is a big vacation week.  Typically things slow dow a bit in the summer too because people are putting off elective surgery, but at the same time lots of people going on vacation so it should balance out.   


 


 


Lowest runs $900 week, highest $1400 week (sm)
Get paid 12 CPL. Been doing transcription for about 12 years.
I gotta work on Saturday, but on Sunday I'm going to take the kids to a Renaissance Festival.
And Monday, the kids and I are going boating and to a cook out at the lake with family. 
Update on Tom kitty - we brought him home Saturday and he is back to his playful self today. SM

I brought him home from the vet on Saturday.  He was still running a temperature, but it was much lower - 103.  It had been 106 when we took him to the vet.  He was still lethargic, but had started to groom himself.  I have antibiotics I have to give him twice a day, by Sunday afternoon he was becoming playful again and was drinking a lot more and started to eat more.  Today, he is back to his old self.  Attacking my PC wires and walking on my keyboard, trying to get my fingers when I type.


I am so relieved! 


I work 6 days a week every other week

Due to my company's payroll (it runs Sun-Sat), I'm able to work a rotating schedule with every other weekend off. Week 1 I work Sunday through Thursday with Fri, Sat, Sun off.  Week 2 I work Monday through Friday with Saturday only off.  Then I'm back to week 1 and get that following weekend off.


I've found that I'm more productive with shorter shifts and I have kids in school anyway, so I work a lot of split shifts during the week.  If possible, you might want to consider cutting back your hours to 30 hours and just work five 6-hour days in split shifts, 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening. 


Funny! Mine is almost as large, and I don't mind cleaning mine!
It's no problem at all.  Besides, I'll take lots of oodles of square footage any day of the week over living in a sardine can!
