In Reply to: Hints and tips ... - Busy MT'ing

those who are wanting to know more....SHUT THE H*** UP. You're not helping anyone.

I had to learn how to use macros, word expanders, etc., to get faster and there is no reason why these MTs shouldn't be given insight, hints, and tips to do it either.

Go mind your own business and stop being a snotty jerk.

    Foul-mouthed neighbor sm
    Welcome to the club. I have the exact same problem. In my case, it is husband and wife, using the "F" word constantly, fighting, threatening divorce, drinking, then they decide to stay together and they know it upsets us to no end for our grandchildren to hear all this foul mouth language and they make it even worse for us by "yelling" things like, "Look at these ..... leaves, we have enough to do." She at one time called my husband a ......... idiot because he asked them not to throw snow in our yard when they shovel because when it melts it goes into the ground around our house and into the basement. They are very close to the street, there is no reason for them to throw it in our yard. They are just being spiteful. . By saying the slightest thing to these people it sets them off. They have a limited education and hang out with the same type people. I am afraid that it will actually come to blows if this continues. I am actually hoping that one day they'll kill each other off with one of their fights. In the meantime, I keep my windows closed in the hot weather and avoid even looking at them. It's a shame but there's not much you can do with this type of person, as they seem to thrive on making everyone around them miserable. You can send a "cease and desist letter" via a lawyer but you would have to have proof and it would only make them worse. Welcome to the horrible neighbor club, I understand completely. Toilet mouths belong with other toilet mouths. Sometimes it just helps to know someone else is going through the same hell on earth. Sorry for your problem, it's an awful way to live. They say, "pray for them" but that's kind of hard when you're the "victim." I hate to even go out in my own yard. Guess what she does? She has an expired CNA license and calls herself a "private duty nurse." She uses the "F" word when speaking of her "clients" and I wish I could report her to the authorities but she would call me an ....... liar. Terrible situation - I understand.
    loud foul-mouthed neighbor
    I could make this really long because I am so frustrated I could just strangle my neighbor.  Without going into detail it will probably sound like I am overreacting but I'll spare you all the drama.  Just know I am at my wits and am hoping for some "nice" advice on what to do about a loud mouthy neighbor.  Can someone please, please tell me the best thing to do?  I expect to hear everyday noises and don't mind those a bit--I'm used to that.  But she talks very loud and has a shrill whiny voice that I can hear through the walls.  She talks nonstop on the phone or to anyone who stops by who will listen.  All day.  And it is LOUD.  That is irritating enough but she thinks it is cute to use curse words.  She has 5 favorite ones she uses over and over and over.  I avoid going around her because it is so repulsive and I don't want my son hearing it either as she doesn't mind saying things in front of him either.  I am trying to bite my tongue because I will probably make her cry once I get started because I am so angry with her.  So the less I can say to get my point cross the better.  I really wish there was a way to handle it without speaking to her at all.  I have her email address but that doesn't seem right either.  There are lots of "details" that makes the situation much worse than it sounds but I just need some advice on how to be kind and still get my point across.  As much as I dislike her I don't want to be mean.  Help, please!  Thanks.
    There are good points and there are bad and ugly points. Unfortunately, the bad and ugly get
    deleted.  Just the other day there was info and it seems to be more positive.  Like any MT job, some love it, some hate it.  But, having been employed there, the bad parts are/were true.   The changes sound great but not great enough to make me change my mind about working for them.  I do say she pays well for the area.  She is one of the rare business owners who actually started out as an MT..I think that makes a big difference in pay.
    Don't go there!!! It is ugly, ugly, ugly.

    I just transferred a whole group of on-site hospital MTs to a MTSO (I'm currently a recruiter). The money they made was amazing, and was killing the hospital. They all now work for a national.

    On the flip side, I just went back to work for a hospital as an MT, the job was advertised recently on an MT board. Great bennies, I know the docs already as it is a local account, great pay. They were once with two major national MTSOs, decided they could do a better job themselves...and from what I've seen, I'm sure they do.
    Good, bad or UGLY
    Geez guys, I see no work, slow work, and when there is work - "it's bad". What does it take to make you people happy???????

    Good, bad, ugly...
    I've worked for several MT companies and have seen "it all" (no flames, I'm sure there are MTs here who have been working longer than I've been breathing). Anyway, have seen MDs who dictate every few words and expect us to fill in the blanks, had MDs who question in the beginning of the report "I wonder how many days until I get this job back, they must type them on the moon or something" etc.... Then there are the gems out there too, ie "I'm sure you can tell I'm dictating from my car, first of all sorry about that, but I'm on my way to a Steelers game, I sure hope you like the Steelers" As with any profession "Takes all kinds" :)
    Good one. An anonymous poster blows another anonymous poster's head off. Great win for MQ?

    I guess that is a small pleasure for those of you who have lowered your expectations for the company you work for.

    Would like to know what platforms are user-friendly and which ones slow you down.  Currently working on one that slooooows me down so much!!!

    Its not that I'm worried about bidding, but if the seller is ugly in
    response to neutral or negative feedback I don't wan to deal with them, I don't care if they have a 99% rating.  Sure there may be hundreds of positives, but it is their response that I'm looking for to see if I want to deal with this person/company.

    I have had the good, the bad and the ugly in QA people in the past sm
    It shapes the way I do my job, on both sides of the equation.

    Right now, I am teaching an MT to do acute care with my feedback. I must be doing something right (she is too and trying very hard) because she is progressing so nicely. She does rad too and she said that my help is making her a better rad MT as well.

    I so rarely send anything to QA at my other FT job and I had to send one yesterday, the first in over a month! I was so p o 'd, but the doctor threw some obscure equipment at me and I had 7 blanks, but that was for only 3 words I could not document well enough to suit me. My favorite QA gal grabbed it and gave me some feedback on the words and she went on to tell me what a good job I did (not!) because she said that most MTs have 10 to 20 blanks for this same doctor. I almost never have a blank with him, but this one time...it was a complex lower extremity interventional vascular procedure and I am not up on the equipment for those just yet with the switch to cardiovascular from OP notes. I felt like a fool, but she was great.

    I have some really awful ones and there is one in particular who comes to mind because of her extremely condescending and childish manner. I actually have the QA position for a gal who was fired because of a similar attitude problem.

    As QA, we are around to be the MT's safety net. We here for an extra set of ears so that the document is as full and correct as possible. Providing feedback helps an MT so that the quantity of their work going to QA will diminish. If you really want a justification for your existence as a QA, it is in the number of blanks you fill in and low numbers of jobs you have to review. IT IS NOT a promotion! IT IS NOT job advancement! It is using the knowledge you have gained to help others.

    I can sort of understand the attitude because MTs seem to be having more issues with quality than they used to, or so it seems to me. The quality most lacking is a sincere wish to do the job well.
    No, don't! This is fun! If you go away, I'll be too tempted to go back up and read those UGLY
    posts. I just know that then I will be rather more than irritated! If I read them...I can tell they're horrible...But if we're here, talking about warm milk, and who is who, and why is why, then none of us will have to go back UP and read those...other posts!!

    I meant it in a good way, and I will not turn this into a huge ugly post.
    I am not a "paranoid mass of jelly", for Heaven's sakes! But I have lived thru having neighbor children try to poison my puppies over our fence in similar circumstances - not identical, but similar.  These same kids used to stuff picked flowers in my mailbox, and I never knew how to take it.  I just asked that she be extra cautious. Obviously you ladies have been blessed with not being confronted in life with strange "encounters" like this - I have, and have tried to learn from it. There used to be no more trusting person than myself.  I have learned, though, to be cautious in situations like this - not paranoid, just cautious. Wisdom, some would call it? For what its worth, my sister is a psychiatrist, and she thought the flowers creepy as well, but in a different analytical light - with her mother's and sibling(s) death of late, and her expressing that she wanted the puppy killed, to my sister, she said they could be symbolic of flowers on a grave.  Not paranoid - she's nearly 60 years old and deals with school-aged kids on a daily basis. Her "job", so to speak. Again, probably a 100% innocent gesture, but to those of us who have had encounters with the "children from H*ll", it could be eery.  My post was meant out of genuine concern for Puppy Mom!

    Ugly, physically repulsive people with nasty attitudes have that effect on me.

    Yeah, no one has ever offered me more, even for ugly ESL accounts. One rate I guess is the standard
    Just make sure it's a good fair rate, especially if you do pretty complicated work. There is no way I'd do less than 8 cpl for ESL but may think about it for clinic work. It just has to be fair, which is getting tougher and tougher to get in this biz. Rates get lower but cost of living is going up and up.

    We are just so smart... sm

    and great at what we do that we need a challenge once in a while.  No, switching professions is not the answer if your desire is to stay at home.  I have found that helping each other through these message boards has been quite invigorating, and to know that I am not alone in my endeavors is quite reassuring, I must say! 


    Smart Gal!
    Yes, this is the only job I believe where the salary goes down in time instead of up. You are smart to find another career. I have been in this line of work over 20 years and only wish I had made another move early on. Good luck to you.
    You are one smart person,

    Smart Young Man

    Your son sounds like a very smart young man. Not many kids these days truly care about their education. They look at high school as a party/social time, and dont look into the future what so ever, and said thing is a lot of our children are not getting the guidance from home either.


    My son loves to learn and loves to be challenged and with him being home schooled we are able to do so.


    And one other positive note on home schooling college intrance exams have shown that home schooled kids are just as smart if not smarter than those who go to public or private schools. The one on one they get is a big big factor in that.


    Best of Luck!!!!!!!
