Oh, get over yourself.

In Reply to: I PRAY that you NEVER transcribe my - Medical Reports

I've done MT since 1978. I have worked in-house, I've been a team lead, I've done QA, I've been an account manager. I've done it all and believe me, when I see people wondering if they should jump ship to work at Burger King I realize that this job is mostly filled with people who have no post-secondary education, who live just above the poverty line (the begging for money at Christmas time to buy gifts for their kids because they're not making enough money doing this but can't and WON't try to do something more lucrative) and just the false sense of self importance (like you seem to have) was enough for me to say BUBBYE to this industry.

I'm now working towards my master's. I don't want or NEED to do your medical reports or anyone elses thank you.

Have a nice day.
