    Nope, I pretty much hate them all. The smell alone makes me want to hurl.
    .
    Nope, you're not the only one. I'm there, too. - sm
    I never made more than a slightly comfortable living as an onsite MT. Now that I work for a national, in addition to the line count that has now plateaued out and I just can't seem to get any higher, the paycheck that was already too small to begin with, never did grow like I'd hoped it would. The sudden jump in gas prices and everything else from rent to food to postage stamps has hit me hard. Now I have to actually SAVE for luxuries like a bottle of shampoo. And I water down the old bottle of it to stretch it out as long as I can so I don't have to buy more. I try to drive the car only twice a week - once for a grocery run, and once to hang out with friends on the weekend. Even that has been cut back, and I've started visiting the friends just every other weekend. And no raise in sight (as if it would even help, at this point.) Won't be too long before I could actually do better financially on welfare than I can by working. I hate being poor, and even more I hate watching my life get smaller and smaller, along with the buying power of my meager earnings.
    Nope, me and hundreds of other MTs. You obviously no not what you're
    posting about! Compare me to Clinton, fine with me! I'm not sticking my neck out for hanging by explaining anything in detail to you! If I did, I would be "nutz"! Again, nuff said. You are STILL alone out here!  Bye!
    Nope. Key is training when they're pups.

    My dog knows better than to come near my office space.  I've never had to so much as speak to him.   All I had to do when I set up my office and he stuck his nose in was to say "no" and he's never ventured near since (almost 2 years).


    I've never yelled at my dog and have never even dreamed of whacking him with a newspaper or anything.  I just taught him when he was a puppy that no means no, the difference between my "authority voice" and my "fun voice" and that he gets rewarded for his good behavior.


    He knows that hyperactivity is for outdoors only and even my kids know that if they want to get the dog hyper, they need to take him outside.  He also knows better than to venture near the dinner table when we are eating.


    But WE also know that he is a dog.  Sure he's a "member of our family" but he's a dog.  He has his dog bed, his dog toys, his dog food and his bag of dog treats for good behavior. And this is because?. . . . .he is a dog.


    My cats don't come in my office either, but that's because I hiss at them. 



    Nope, you got that wrong. What we're afraid of is
    .
    It's not funny when you're on a board where language is one skill you're selling.

    Nope, I don't feel "LUCKY" to be treated like an imbicile by my company. Nope, No way.

    Are you sure you're on the right board. Those
    things are usually discussed on the company board, not the main one. 
    Because you're all over this board today
    on a beautiful Sunday attacking all the "bitter" MTs with bad attitudes.  However, you are the epitome of bitterness.  You're starting arguments and justifying your own bad behavior.  Have you ever heard the saying that when you're angry at someone, you're really angry at yourself?  Are you having a bad day, hon?  Home life got you down?  Stressed out?  All alone and lonely?  Do you just need a hug?  We're here for you if you'd like to open up about what's really bothering you. 
    it seems like you're killing THIS board.

    You're on the wrong board!
    This particular board is for medical transcriptionists, so we can't help you. Sorry!
    they're messing with the board.
    again
    Search thru the Company board. They're all bad! nm

    Good for you - we're not all nasty on this board

    You're welcome Tad, you will get quicker answers on the word board

    you're welcome; use Main board for general MT questions

    By stating "Don't dictate to the board what to say and how to say it" you're doing exact
    Hypocrite.
    You're right, i spend way too much time on this board when should be working, I am just so burned

    I think the smell would be better in New Orleans
    No thanks.
    I smell a troll ...

    I smell a huge rat
    Is your husband up to no-good with this loser? First of all any "my baby's daddy" situation has scumbag written all over it. Second of all, if your husband doesn't mind being used by this lazy bum for a free place to live, he has to be getting something out of the bargain. I'd be doing some serious checking around if I were you.

    Meanwhile, you're right to keep this piece of crap away from your kids. If your husband likes him so much let him live with this waste of oxygen alone.

    Good luck.
    Sadly, nothing gets cig smell out of anything. It
    always sneaks back. I have been burned 3 times out of 4 on E-Bay with MT stuff. I am a huge buyer and seller, and its the only area I've not been happy with, so I'd rather buy new now than risk it. Hopefully it will work. One thing I have tried is sealing whatever it is up in a bag for as long as possible, or as frequently as possible, with a Outdoor Fresh Scent Bounce or two in the sealed bag with the item. Over time the Bounces absorb some of the cig smell. But it would be a hassle undoing a C-phone every day and bagging it. Sorry - that smell makes me sick, too, and I used to smoke! Good luck.
    do I smell a newbie/cherrypicker?
    You go over seas, learn medicine in conjunction with a new language fluently, then tell us how easy it is?  These ESLs at least make an effort to slow down and be understood, more than I can say for the Americans.  Besides, it is our job, being transcriptionists, to decipher these accents, research, and come up with the correct terminology for the report.  Would you like mister rogers to dictate all of them? Come on, you can handle it!
    Me too, how funny! It does smell good!

    I smell a rat. If it were me, I would consider this the first red flag and be on the lookout

    I smell a dead cat on the line.... so to say.
    Such as in "another woman."
    trolls smell rooty

    Vinegar also takes smell out. sm

    I always use vinegar when I need to get a smell out. 


    Whenever I burn popcorn in the microwave, I fill a coffee cup full of vinegar and set it in the microwave.  It always takes the smell out.


    I've steam cleaned pet soil out of my carpet using vinegar and baking soda, and the odor always goes away.


     


    I smell a rat - I mean bully. Same thing.:)

    OP,


    I agree with Katz.  No need to use profanity however.  Don't risk your dignity and self-respect by stooping to her level. Yet, I agree with everything else, like telling her to shut up in a nice way -- let her know you are working and you suggest she does the same.  She feels threatened obviously, so don't make it easy for her by quitting which is probably what she wants.  I don't think the boss wants you to quit, however.  It sounds like she just wants to skip out on the pay increase and manipulate the situation to her benefit (according to what you have said so far). 


    As for Ms. Obnoxious, sounds like she has figured out the only one she needs to get along with is the boss.  And if she can get you to leave, then more work and job security for her.  It's an awful mess of a situation you are in.  I don't tolerate bullies and neither should you, and that is exactly what she sounds like -- a bully.  You will have to give her the silent treatment instead of her giving you the silent treatment and even if she does give you the silent treatment, good.   It doesn't sound like she has anything worthy to say anyway.   In the meantime, if you want to be there for any reason -- to pay off a debt, to go back to school, to gain more experience before leaving, etc. -- then stay as long as you want.  When you are ready, find the new job, test it out, then make the switch at your own pace.  With your typing speed, I don't doubt you will be able to find something better.  Just don't make it easy for anyone by quitting. 


    You are all that matters, especially on a job.  Workers are not your friend. You have to find that outside of the workplace.  I don't think talking to either one of them is worth anything.  They already know they are in the wrong. 


    Best of luck to you.

    moldy smell in carpet
    I had the same thing and ended up finally tearing up the whole carpet and pad, then installing a wood laminate floor. It was expensive, but I had tried EVERYTHING, to no avail. Baking soda and vinegar are excellent remedies, IF the mold hasn't seeped into the pad. If it has, there is virtually nothing that will remove the smell altogether. We hadn't noticed the mold smell when we looked at the house. (The carpet had just been freshly shampooed to show the house.) It was after we bought it and moved in that we noticed it. Before my husband installed the wood laminate floor, we bleached the entire concrete slab, as the mold had also seeped in to the concrete. Bleach did the job on that. Good luck. :)
    Wake up and smell the roses and not
    alcohol breath - ewwww
    well wake up and smell the coffee...

    Ever since managed care came into being here, the doctors have been moaning and groaning...and less and less folks are actually entering the medical field today.....becauise nobody is earning the money they were 15-20 plus years ago.....There is a huge shortage of nurses also in this country - it's not profitable enough for anyone today...not like it used to be prior to managed care.....


    I have been treated overseas and it IS better.....and I recently read an article that folks here, the elderly, are now relocating to India for long-term care at home....it's nearly free over there....if I ever find that article, I will repost here.....the couple the article was about are in their 80s and they get all their rxs, aides in the home (home health care), and treatment for a miniscule amount compared to here......the article showed pictures too.....all nice and clean and very efficient looking.  Plus, an added benefit is they are just more respectful of the elderly overseas.....in general and everywhere.....whether it be Europe or Asia.....while here, all they seem to be interested in in this country is YOUTH - a youth-oriented society it has been for a couple of generations now.


    You *think* we have the best......but it might not always be as it seems and think of *down the road* - while less folks are entering the field(s) here - you'll find there will be less and less *the best*.....


     


    Candles that smell like fresh cut grass. sm
    Gosh, I just love that smell.  Anyone know where I can purchase something like that?  What a great pick me up for winter.  Also, love the clean smell of fresh rain.  If  I could only bottle that aroma.....
    Drench it with vinegar. It won't take the color out, and the smell will be gone.You can also add

    baking soda to the vinegar.  It works really well. 


    I use vinegar for anything with a smell.  If the trash can starts to smell, I pour vinegar in the bottom and let it sit overnight.  Then I just rinse it out in the morning.


    Also, if you burn popcorn in the microwave, you can pour vinegar into a coffee cup and put it in the microwave.  Then let it sit in the microwave overnight.  By morning, the smell will be gone. 


     


    I smell a corrective addendum coming -
    The doc says,"the debridement contained subcutaneous and healthy necrotic tissue."  Say, what?  Healthy necrotic tissue?
    Anyone have a home remedy for loss of taste/smell?

    This sinus cold has been dragging on for nearly 2 weeks now..going on day 5 of absolutely no sense of taste or smell....soooooooo tired of this


    I haven't had taste or smell for over 10 years due to chemotherapy.
    Sometimes that's a GOOD thing. Seriously.
    home remedy for loss of taste/smell
    How about zinc? I was told years ago that this helps with loss of taste and smell.
    You need to get the smell/urine enzymes out of the carpet and furniture - sm
    The dog will just continue to go back to where he peeed (?) again and again because he smells his scent. I don't think neuturing him will make a difference in that respect. You need to go buy Nature's Miracle Odor & Stain remover. It's pricey but it does the job....I learned this by working at PetsMart years ago and by personal experience. You have to soak whatever it is the dog peeed on though and let it air dry, takes a couple days. You will have to decide on how to "contain" him until the smell is gone, either in a smaller area of the house, outside, whatever. You might want to seriously try training him to go outside. He never learned that he should NOT go inside so that behavior of him going wherever he wants in the house is going to be difficult if not impossible to change. You may want to call a professional legit dog trainer in the area and get their thoughts and suggestions. You are going to have a hard time modifying the dogs behavior, but with a LOT of persistance and consistency you can prevail. Good luck.
    Lilacs....ah, the smell of 'em!! Too bad they don't live long. nm

    Not MT related - I need suggestions on getting the moldy smell out of carpet.
    I have had the carpet professionally cleaned, but there is still that moldy smell from the carpet having gotten wet a while back from an overflowed washer. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can use to make the smell go away? I plan on ripping the carpet up at some point and redoing the floor, but not ready for that yet. In the mean time, now with the hot weather, the moldy smell is really obvious. Help!

    I'll wait a few days, week or so, no hassle, no BO to smell, it will be worth SM
    the extra money.
    Any rose gardeners out there? Good roses that are disease proof and smell good?
    I heard good things about Knockout Rose but they don't smell too much like traditional rose.  Supposedly blooms all season. 
    And its gonna kill you to post on the Company board rather than the main board?
