No woman asks for it EVER

Posted By: ae on 2005-07-06
In Reply to: blame the victim, geez - Another mother

A woman can be walking down the street naked, she is not asking for rape.  No woman ever wants to be raped.  Old ladies, young ladies, middle aged ladies get attacked and raped and sexually harrassed and murdered.  Women do not ask for this.  Until we put the blame where it belongs, on the perpetrator, not the victim, nothing will change.  You need some consciousness raising, me thinks.

    Therapy for what? Because I don't support any woman who spouts an idea because she is a woman?

    And you fall into the "therapy" or drug routine?  Why not address the issues.  You want women to support women no matter how ridiculous the idea is or you want to support a truth, no matter who tells it.  The rest of the "therapy" crap you post is BS.  You must know that by now.


    Someone asks about this company almost
    daily.  You'll find lots of info on the company board and in their archives. 
    Get everything in writing. When someone asks
    if a company is flexible in hours, what does that mean? It could mean that they're willing to let you switch from the day shift to the evening shift if you request it. It could mean you have a window of time in which to complete your work. Or it could mean that you can work when you want. A question needs to be much more specific than that, and both the question and answer need to be in writing.
    let it slide, unless she asks.

    DH always asks me if I hit any traffic on the way to work
    I always say, no, there was no traffic today.  Oh, yeah, the dog was in my way and I tripped over him.  Yep, he is just jealous.  I could never deal with rush hour traffic again.  I just watch for the dog.

    Get Turbo Tax, it has a whole section for this and asks you if you have this, this, that...sm
    By using this I found 2 deductions I had no idea I could take.
    If obnoxious asks something too personal,
    ask her why she would ask you that? You just turn the tables. You might ask the question with a look of great interest, as if you really wonder why she is so interested, or you could do it in a tone that lets her know that sounds like a very boring subject, so why on earth would she want to discuss such a thing. If she talks about things not work related, politely point out that you need to concentrate on your work and can't do two things at once. If she seems to be talking about quality issues, consider whether there might be a reason. Anything she makes a claim about, research yourself and see if she is right. Sometimes people who are annoying still know a lot, and have a lot to offer, but nobody will listen. If she corrects something you have been doing wrong and she is right, thank her for pointing it out, make a note of it so you will remember or make an Autocorrect, or whatever so you remember.

    If none of these ideas are helpful or work on her, I would come right out and say that we are working close together, and you think your personalities clash a bit, so it might make life easier if you both tried to be as quiet as possible to try to get along. If she doesn't agree, then prepare to keep quiet until it's time to have some fun with her. You know ... the witty jab that takes her breath away when she is least expecting it. :oP

    i would ask her which time the other friends would be coming and when she asks why, sm
    tell her that you just aren't as comfortable with all the extras and would like to visit with just family for christmas. she should separate and have two different get togethers if that is what she wants. don't show up if she disagrees and do your own thing. i am sure some of your other family members would agree and probably come to your house instead.

    You sound like my mother! She asks me that every time I tell
    Sorry!!! :-)
    Give them a range. That's what they do when someone asks what the job pays. SM

    Just think about what you are willing to work for and go from there.  Or you can just be honest and tell them flat out what you expect.  I did that with the full-time job I have.  I decided that if I were going to go back to being an employee, I was just going to be totally honest about what I wanted.  They pay hourly where I'm at.  When the HR girl made the offer, I countered and told her what I had hoped to make.  And in the end, I got it which was pretty exciting.  Just be professional and honest.


    Somebody asks this question every single day. What's the deal?

    It's always the first thing a computer person asks me...lol! And it works a lot of the time. nm

    Whenever one of my coworkers asks me to listen to a report and fill in the blanks or make SM

    corrections, I always put my initials on the report right after hers and I expect anyone who goes into any of my reports to make a correction to do the same and that includes QA people.  Where I work, the transcription clerk will put her initials in a report even if she just had to go into the report and delete a blank line to make the report upload correctly.  She puts an asterisk by her initials to let us know that she didn't make any changes to the text, just made adjustments for uploading purposes.


    I've been told at other jobs by the QA bunch that whatever software we use automatically keeps a virtual record of each person who accesses a report, but I just like knowing who else has messed with my report.  I can't tell you how many times when I worked in the office, an irate doctor has come in saying "who's LN" or "who's RB".  So if QA went into the report and changed something, I want the doctor to see their initials too.


    When a friend asks how you are today you reply "Oh, I'm feeling within normal limits."

    Or after a boring weekend when working at a hospital someone asks "How was your weekend?" and

    maybe she wants to be the woman.

    Seems to me, this is about those woman who only think they look like that...
    and unfortunately do not.

    Even young girls do this - I have seen young girls more and more, bellies out, cracks out (pardon me, do not know what else to call it- smile), and maybe 2 out of 10 have the bodies for it. The rest are overweight and have bulges and cellulite, etc.

    I think almost everyone would agree, if a woman can wear something (or nearly nothing) and look good, more power to them. If they do not have a body like a model, or even close, best to hide the cleavage in public, in my opinion...
    Done 2! Come on MTs....help this woman win!
    Staples inventors contest. Vote for Julie Savage.
    Can't we get this woman out of here?
    I would sooner see your Avon and candles! This woman has been over on MT Chat, now here, who knows where else. I don't even believe she is an MT. How could she be when she is so busy with her "company"? Can't we get these types of "free advertisers" off here? Makes me mad!  If fshe is free to advertise, then I think the rest of us should be able to, as well!
    Yep, that's right, it was to a woman.nm

    One woman actually said she (sm)
    spent so much time at the pediatrician's office, she KNEW she could do it.  NO KIDDING.  She really said that.
    She is more woman than you could ever-sm
    hope to be in your wildest dreams. What did she ever do to you anyway? come on, take my one on one challenge...make my day. lol
    Probably every woman on here has done the same or more
    than this person is saying she had to do in order to take care of grandchildren. Most women here work and take care of children every day. She asked did I have grandchildren like you just could not work and take care of them. I did - others have here also- no bashing- just truthful, sounds like a cop out to me and probably others here.
    Seems that woman
    had some issues. Okay ... I can see being a little irritated, but really! Your director had the right attitude, and now you have your funny little story you can share. : )
    A woman I worked with ... (sm please)
    erased a tape of a day's worth of radiology reports. She pulled all the jackets (before PACS system) and took them to the rad. She apologized sincerely with a stiff upper lip. He did not say a word, read all the films again and life went on. She is now the lead MT and has been there for 15 yrs.
    You really need to get a woman in your life!

    And what do you consider an older woman?

    I can assure you that I'm not an older woman.  Thirty is not old.  I still get carded buying alcohol.  I've never bleached my naturally blonde hair either.  The clothes aren't skimpy.  I have full coverage with nothing hanging out.  I certainly don't shop in the plus or women sized departments either.  It's just a change from slob mode, which is the point I was trying to make.  Women will feel and look younger by taking a few moments to care about their appearance.  Try some trendier clothes, a new hairstyle, a touch of makeup.  Besides, if I was a fat, ugly, old lady as you're implying, troll, hubby would tell me.  He's the one who didn't like my "comfortable" work clothes to begin with.


    omg i know a woman who talks just like you
    and is just as much an a** and even her sunday school class doesn't want anything to do with her!!! hehehehehe talking about an ugly, stinky attitude!!! hehehe
    psycho woman
    You sound like a nice woman that just has lousy tastes in men. First of all, you need to get involved in a church. If you have a large one in your area, they typically have groups of people that are in your same boat or had been in a similar boat. Go there first, and seek their advice. and it would be very good for the kids to attend also.

    woman of the opposite sex
    That's hilarious! Thanks for the belly laugh. I needed it today.... LOL.
    I had to reply here to what the woman said
    That the radiologist would call the physician by phone and report the serious finding on the x-ray. HELLO: Most (or all) patient charts have an order to them in which patient medical records are to be distributed chronologicaly. I would think Medical Records Manager/personnel would be screaming for the hard copy of the report to be placed on the chart, to be reviewed by QA, Coding, etc. This woman sounds lazy.

    Q: How many women with MENOPAUSE does it take to

    change a light bulb?



    A: One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY?

    Because no one else in this house knows

    HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know

    that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit

    in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out.

    And, once they figured it out,

    they wouldn't be able to find the

    light bulbs despite the fact that

    they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD

    for the past 17 YEARS!

    But if they did, by some

    miracle of God, actually find

    them 2 DAYS LATER, the chair

    they dragged to stand on to

    change the STUPID light bulb would
    STILL BE IN

    THE SAME SPOT!!!!!

    AND UNDERNEATH

    IT WOULD BE THE

    WRAPPER THE

    STUPID LIGHT

    BULBS CAME IN!!!

    BECAUSE NO ONE

    EVER CARRIES OUT

    THE GARBAGE!!!!

    IT'S A WONDER WE

    HAVEN'T ALL

    SUFFOCATED FROM

    THE PILES OF

    GARBAGE THAT

    ARE A FOOT DEEP

    THROUGHOUT THE

    ENTIRE HOUSE!!

    IT WOULD TAKE

    AN ARMY TO

    CLEAN THIS 

    HOUSE!

    I'm sorry.... What was the question?


    Oh woman...lighten up .sm

    ... and get a sense of humor!  This board could use more giggles and less crabs.


      


    Woman's best friend .....
     
    I knew a woman...

    who had 2 back-to-back MT jobs going from one hospital to another.  She usually looked half dead by the time I saw her at her 2nd job, but was getting paid hourly, so I doubt she was too productive at job #2.  Somehow she managed to show up every day though. 


    What a great woman she was!!!......R.I.P......nm

    The one, the only, the woman who has done SO MUCH FOR AMERICA!!!!!

    HILL-OH-REE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    My Mom, who was a very wise woman, would tell you...
    to love her anyway just the way she is and realize that "everyone is doing the best they can with what they have to work with."  Plus, life's 2 short and life is fragile.
    Try to find a woman.
    I think that male internists and specialists fail to see the specifics of women's problems and cannot relate to their point of view and/or suffering.  This work is so very stressful on bones and joints and with a lack of exercise and usually poor nutrition because we are at this computer so long daily .. we are killing ourselves slowly but deliberately .. find a woman to see if you can and better still a situation where there are students who will also work with you .. they take the time and while it might drive you a little nuts, their attendings are usually very quality driven.
    and you are super woman
    if you can work only 3 days a week and make that kind of lines/money, then by all means...do tell????? how do you do it?????? I am sure 100's of transcriptionists are waiting to hear this one! Let's see, you must be super woman, the fastest typist on the earth.
    How about an 86-year-old woman with
    descended testes bilaterally?  Gotta love it when the docs fall asleep during dictation.

    There's a woman who offered to help me

    and she works for Escription.  She said IT DEFINITELY works with EditScript v8 (but I don't know about previous versions).  She offered to get me up and runnign after the place I was working for said it wasn't compatible, but I left so never bothered to figure out.  Sorry I'm not more helpful, but at least you know it should work!


    Look up Kennewick man and Penon woman.
    These remains are Caucasian and have been carbon dated to prove that "white" people were here long ago, too.  13,000 and 8,400 years ago, Caucasians were on North America.  Should we change Columbus Day to Leif Erickson Day because science has proven that the Vikings were here before the Spaniards?  It doesn't matter.  Everyone has to argue about everything.  We were here first.  No, we were here first.  They killed our ancestors.  Well, your ancestors killed our ancestors.  Nobody will ever know for sure because we weren't there and our ancestors didn't write it all down for us.  For all we know, there could be more fossilized skeletal remains proving that someone else was here before everyone else was or that continental drift isn't just a theory.
    You are a decent woman, and that was well written.
    I do also think that the moderator needs to ban the person who has been so inflammatory here so many times, particularly on the subject of motherhood. There's no need for responses such as hers to be allowed when we all just want a forum to chat and, hopefully, be supportive to each other. I'm off to watch Lost now, my one great indulgence :)
    I stay with my NOT DH because I'm a weak woman who's
