Uh, no.... evil is evil. Who's version of the truth are you talking about?
yours, mine, hers, theirs, WHO????
That is exactly what I meant. Evil for the sake of evil, not for the sake of satan
who is the essence of evil in Christianity. Call evil what you want it exists in every nation and every culture.

Having said that, did not the terrorists call America the Great Satan after their attack on 9/11?
job satisfaction
29 years - definitely NOT! Sometimes I wish I had never learned to type much less transcribe. Once people know you are a good typist, they won't consider you for anything else.
I take great satisfaction....
in knowing that one day she too will be considered an "old timer" by those younger than herself. Sounds like she has some chip on the old shoulder.

She needs to unpop that cork...she's sounds too uptight.
Poll: MT Job Satisfaction

Here is another poll. I would like to hear from anybody with MT experience, but I am especially interested to hear from MTs with 10+ years experience.


If you had to do it over again, would you still have gotten into the field of MT?


I feel sorry that your satisfaction is nil right now
I have been in this business for years and years now and if not for the fact that I am extremely close to getting retirement funds, social security (plus I want to continue to work) then I would never be able to live off my salary now plus support a family. I know even working several jobs with most of the salaries just would not get it. Having said that, if I were younger and needed to, I would definitely never stay in MTing. The salaries have plummeted over time and I do not see anything getting any better, much outsourcing, used to be an extremely good job- back in the 80s and early 90s for me. If a younger person I would do whatever needed to hopefully ensure an income I could survive on. Good luck.
I get no satisfaction from it whatsoever anymore. (sm)

I feel like I really have to push myself to get the work done.  I hate the feast and famine of the work.  I hate working weekends and holidays with no incentives.  I feel unappreciated and isolated with this job.  People act like this career is a joke and I must have plenty of time on my hands, so why don't I just drive to their house tonite?  The only reason I'm keeping the job I have is because of the pay and haven't found the same pay anywhere else!  There aren't a lot of choices anymore and not much medical work in this area so...would have to work for a national and I not only hate working for a national, I hate the pay!


Good luck with what you decide.  There are many things you can do without spending a lifetime in school.  Start checking the papers.  There are other jobs where you can work at home also.


Yeah, well, satisfaction guaranteed did not mean that with me. nm

I have read all of the posts and wish continued satisfaction for all of you.
I guess it was not for me.  I am much happier bossing adults around and being active.  I love my kids to no end, but hearing mommy all day long was driving me crazy.  When my husband came home from work I would talk his ear off, just to have that adult conversation, and he would totally zone out.  I need adult stimulation allday, everyday. 
They might not, but I would still get satisfaction knowing I didn't keep quiet about it. sm
And you know AHDI probably has the attitude of "well nobody has ever come to us telling us we're not working for them," or some such thing.
So the truth is evil?? Whatever. nm

Evil Co-Worker
Anyone else have an evil co-worker or two?  I work at home but there's always one that still manages to find me.  I would ilke to slap this current one if I could reach her through my computer.  She thinks she's my supervisor.  I try to be respectful and polite, but that's not working.  All my other co-workers are wonderful.   I can't find anything in the company handbook about slapping not being appropriate, so that's my next plan of action.  I just have to figure out a way to do that through cyberspace.
Evil Co-Worker
I agree! Give her enough rope and evenutally she will hang herself. You are so not alone. I had to deal with one of these types for nearly 2 years. I would be trying to get my work done on my account and her IMs were poping up left and right. I even had my "Busy Working" sign up! She never did her work -- waited until the last minute. Most times I ended up doing her share because of it. Unfortunately, no one in charge seemed to notice or just did not care since I was picking up what she lacked. The money was good because I was getting a ton of extra lines, but it was killing me and destroying my marriage. She would go on and on about her family all the time. Like I cared! Her kids were sick every other day. She always had an excuse why she didn't get her work done. The kicker? Once I had to do her work last minute about an hour or so before it was all due -- I am pounding away on my keyboard she Knows I am doing her work! The IMs pop up telling me how she is helping her sister write a resume! Hello! She should have been doing her own work or at the very least leaving me alone so I could do it for her. I would type my buttock off to have an evening free -- guess what? She would suddenly have some sort of problem as soon as she saw my work was finished and she would then be unable to do her own. Guess what came next? Yep -- I got stuck working while she got away with it. I swear it was like she was stalking me on-line. Don't know how she knew, but seemed like the second I got up to use the bathroom or went to the kitchen for a soda the IMs would bing. Just the memories still drive me crazy. I can relate. It's not a fun club to belong to.
Wow, you are really evil to post this.

The only evil I find about smoking is. . .

How darn hard it is to quit.  I have tried everything.  Patches, gum, Wellbutrin, Zyban, cold turkey, etc.


Don't buy them by the pack anymore.  We (my husband and I) roll our own.  Buy a can of tobacco and have a little machine and thought that would deter us, but noooooooooo. $8 a week compared to over $8 a DAY.


We do keep trying so there is hope that someday, hopefully within the next 6 months, we can say see ya!  Yeah right.


 


Why is my evil mind keep saying SHILL?

tell your evil mind to hush up

I've been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking since November 2002, and it's possible for me to produce more lines dictating than using the keyboard.


Evil, deceiptful organization! nm

its not money that is root of all evil, it is

Taking the evil out of the world is one thing.

Sending a teenager (18) just out of high school to a country with acknowledged lower drinking age (18) is perhaps contributing to the vulnerability and adding a little evil into that life teens life.  No one thinks straight when they are drinking.  New drinkers + naive teens equals disaster.  Mix in a foreign country with different customs and laws.  What were these parents thinking?


I couldn't resist, must be the evil spirits in the air.
"
Oh man,pure-dee evil stuff! "Worse" when you use

Another definition of satanic is a behavior that is evil , which I think may have been the original
poster's intended meaning.
They must be so frustrated. Gnashing their evil-doing teeth. Trying new bait, tossing out the line.
But we're not gonna BITE! Have I mentioned to you that rabbits bite? Some do, though I don't think they particularly mean it...
Okay-I admit it!!!
I to have been known to try and give advice based on what doctors have recommended to family members but by no means do I say "do this, do that"--I just say this is what some of the doctors I transcribe for have recommended.  I guess it is my nosy nature-I think that is one of the reasons I love MT.  I can be nosy without anybody really knowing-haha.  Actually, I dont call myself nosy (my husband does), I just tell him I am aware of my surroundings and there is nothing wrong with that. 
I must admit...
My lawn IS looking "perkier" now! LOL. Maybe we'll get some of the "bluegrass" back from the "crabgrass"...
They do have a TON of ESL and admit it! nm
nm
But the pay is too low you have to admit
nm
Yep, they admit it.
z
I admit it, at least a pot or more. nm
nm
lol, just admit it already ;0

Unfortunately you admit you are not the
*best spellers or *and expert in grammer* and this is a big part of what MTing is all about. A great MT has an excellent or above average grasp on the English language, grammar and a knack with spelling/words. Perhaps this field is not for you.
I admit, I do not know a ton about these two, but - sm
can you, as a work around, copy them onto a word document and then copy them from word onto the new platform?  It is just a thought, like I said I do not know a ton about either, but I thought I would throw that out there.
I have to admit...
I'm not cranking out the lines like I usually would. I'm doing my one fussy account, but the other one I'm letting get a little behind. It's hard to work up the motivation to work when you aren't getting paid, you know?
I am glad to see this I have to admit
I was beginning to think I was the only one out there who thinks this company is just like all the rest, including pay, platform, accounts, etc. They switch me without asking me and I refuse to do the work. Not for that lousy pay!!
Altho I must admit...
Barbra actually did that duet with Celine, so perhaps even SHE likes Celine better! I can't win!
I'll admit this only because I'm

  I actually have a little TV just to the right of my desk. I'm always at my desk it seems, so I have the TV on all day long. As hard as it is to admit, and like I said, I'll do it only because I'm anonymous, I have the "judge shows" on my TV all day long. I feel like admitting that I read the Enquirer or something, lol. I used to have Starting Over and then the ABC soaps on, but I needed a change of pace so I hang out with judges all day.  Right now, I'm working and watching Dancing with the Stars...and I'm usually sitting here working and watching Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, and other favorites.


admit what??? get off my back and look to yourself.
nm
LOL! We sure date ourselves when we admit we know
s
If I were you, I wouldn't admit to that.
Merry Christmas, dear.
seriously, you must admit there is some truth to what is said; there are many like that.
nnnnnnm
I have to admit it. I had a good laugh.
nm
OK, if you'll admit to it. Are you a smoker? sm
................and if you quit, how did you do it? 
i guess it's easier for you not to believe me than admit you are wrong.

i don't follow all your posts so i don't know if you like girlie men or not but in any case you are dead wrong about trolling and you can wrap your brain around that.  i have no reason to lie on an anonymous board to anonymous people.  on the other hand you have a reason to not believe me because your ego is involved.  too bad sometimes people can learn if they push their ego and need to be right at any cost aside. 


 


ps:  you are 100% dead wrong on me trolling and i really don't think you understand the concept.  once you accept you aren't that smart, you can continue to learn grasshopper.


I must admit I would resort to something like that. Love my dogs and everyone else's but enough
enough. We have 2 dogs and neither are barkers. I think that is the first thing I teach them. They don't even bark to go outside, just sit by the door. We did have a German Shepard once who was a terrible barker, the neighbors called the police, etc. We bought one of those shock collars, put it on her when she was out and wow, what a difference. She only wore it during the day when she was out. We brought her in when we came home, the collar came off, and she stayed in during the night. Unfortunately for us, our neighbor, 2 doors away, worked midnights, so it bothered him. It didn't stop her completely but it sure helped the incessant barking. Of course, the neighbor didn't want to make any noise, period. I wouldn't recommend them for a small dog or older dog, though. As far as the hose goes, congratulations. My neighber has a dog who ambushed both my dogs, bit the older dog and terrorized the puppy, twice. The next time that dog was going to get the hose as I knew there would be a dogfight. The owner would have gotten it too, I have enough guts for that. Big brother golden retriever hates it when another dog comes by his little cocker spaniel brother. We resorted to a fence and now the dog doesn't even come in our yard. Darn, couldn't try the hose.
I have never heard anyone so outright admit to prejudice like that..sm
I used to live in Virginia. I am not prejudice, BUT what I experienced there taught me some differences. I noticed that quite a few black people DID have attitudes and were actually quite prejiduce themselves. I was very amazed at this. At one time, we had gone to a video store. All blacks running the store. Our family and another white family were there and they REFUSED to wait on this. Now, while I understand the issues of the PAST, I think it silly to blame THIS generation for what was done by ancestors in past generations. I ended up calling the district manager and the entire store was RESTAFFED from Manager DOWN. I also had a lot of black friends in Virginia. I think what it comes down to is no matter what race you are, you got some people who are ***holes and some not..black, white, asian, etc. You also have people who are prejiduce..blacks against whites, asians against black..it doesn't matter. Its very sad.
I hate to admit it, but ME TOO! That is the only TV show I watch.
Gotta keep basic cable so I can watch my one TV show per week.
JD was definitely a cocky one, but he was clearly the best performer, IMO. And I hate to admit that.

Yeah, I have to reluctantly admit that could be the case, but SM

I'd bet my last dime this is not something that's being dictated intraoperatively. The sentence IS bad to begin with and the whole thing could have been said so much more clearly, like: "...further bleeding would necessitate a hysterectomy" or "further bleeding would result in a hysterectomy"


Your point is taken though.


OK...I am secret Days fan. I would never admit it to my family.
She is right!  I would toss his rear out too.  I just hate that Chelsea.  What about Belle and Shawn??  Phillip is an idiot.  Will Mimi tell?? dun dundundunnnnn :)  If my husband or kids knew I watched soaps they would laugh me out of the house.  I would never live it down, but it is fun.  Now I started watching Passions too.  No wonder I can't seem to get anything done
Would love to help newbies, I was one myself (way too long ago to admit to)...
but set hours might be hard to do, I'd want to know that I would have at least 3-5 hours a day with a newbie in order to make it worthwhile. If she learns and works out - raises of course. I've been there too!
