    2 cents you have the most well-rounded open minded post so far.
    Thanks for posting.
    Clinton is intelligent??? If he was intelligent he wouldn't have gotten caught!
    eeeeeeeeew
    You can't just open the attachment. You need to save it to a file and then open SM
    your wave player and load it. 
    OK ... LOL ... that explains it !! nm

    Wow this explains it ....
    I was hired by a very nice woman a while ago who has great accounts. I had to also sign a non-compete form. I had no clue exactly why they would ask me to do that and asked them to explain exactly what this clause meant. They explained it and I was left with my mouth hanging open that somebody would really do something as low as stealing an account from somebody who was willing to give you a chance. After reading these other posts "WoW" I had no idea some people were really that low and greedy. But like one poster said, "What goes around comes around." I would not even want to work for somebody so unethical !!! It goes to show how trustworthy that person really is.
    That explains it!...
    LOL...
    thank you - that explains a lot
    I don't think I travel enough to warrant an air card if that is the case.  At relatives's homes that means they have to have a router also and I don't think that is going to be feasible since most of them just have 1 computer.  I guess I need to get something that makes my lap top hook into my router without a cable so I have to be right there.
    That explains a lot

    No wonder you believe what you do.  If all I had was good dictators, I may not care as much either.  I appreciate reading all of the responses.  Some of you really do get it.  You understand the lack of ethics of cherry picking.  They're robbing the rest of us of income, since our $$/time is reduced with the disproportionate number of bad dictators the ethical MT gets when there are cherry pickers on the account. 


    In response to the corporate minded
    It's more like they are endeavoring to make up for their greedy management oriented mistakes of the past. The MTs are who make the money for the company as you seem to forget, when they are gone, there will be no company. The mass exodus has only begun.
    Why are narrow minded comments here okay
    if s/he were standing in front of you? Obviously many of you do not personally know many people of other cultures, loved them and their cultures. Advocating violence borders on embracing the mind set of the KKK or neo-Nazism.

    More is the pity.
    Wow! That certainly explains some things..

    Hmm, guess that explains
    why Hollywood is so wacky.
    I think you're right, that explains it! lol :)
    x
    well i guess that explains it
    People come on here saying they make upwards of 50k a year but never say how they do it. I suppose they are IC and work all the dang time. I'll take my peanuts and benefits and enjoy my time with my family :D
    that was a judgemental and closed-minded comment

    Consider yourself lucky to have supervisors who are fair minded.

    you sound completely narrow minded....nm

    Good for you, Carol! If you are business-minded, go for it.....sm
    I have had 3 friends who have done the very same -- I even worked for one of them for 2 years while the company got off the ground. If you can marked yourself/your service, be shrewd and confident, and have the time and energy/focus for bartering contracts, etc., you can really make great money on your own. I have not attempted it yet because of raising kids, and now have my elderly mom who just was widowed. And if you feel you need some business help, my friends all got mentoring through the Small Business Administration, they have former business owners who will actually come to your house, plan strategy, give you tax tips, and so much more. It can be so frustrating working for other companies in this business, all the best!
    My attitude is production-minded for all involved
    I have worked under some absolutely wonderful, great MT managers in my many years doing this job and watched myself and others working under them flourish. When I managed transcription I took steps to do the same from that experience. Is that a bad attitude? I don't think companies are "out to get me." I think many are disorganized and ignorant of the everyday workings of transcription and the MT pays the price for it. My current assessment of disgust for what I am seeing now being called management of transcription is not good, and I am not the only one who recognizes this downward trend. The difference in the past few years is day and night.

    It's not personal. It's fact. So I'll take your personal insult with a grain.

    If you can't think of anything intelligent to say
    Please don't say anything at all.
    Very well said, Intelligent MT
    That kind of post didn't do a thing for the original poster except to reinforce what she was feeling at that time.  She might be one of the Intelligent MTs who made one STUPID mistake and received a ranting email from her editor.   Add that to a bad day in general and that just might be the final straw.  I noticed that she didn't rant and rave about THE editor or editors in GENERAL.  I think she was just blowing off steam, I didn't hear any whining.  I know the GOOD editors work hard for their GOOD MTs and even cover their backside on occasion.  Then there are those editors who think they are much smarter than any MT and they want to let the MTs know they are the "boss."  I don't think that kind last very long, the Intelligent MTs will get 'em every time.
    That explains ALL your childish behavior.
    .
    Completely different state, so that explains it!
    There is often no work, and lots of posts in the archives about people who have gone there and had no work at all. We are not talking about the same place. I didn't think so. Its a shame. It would be nice for those I know who work there if there was lots of work. Funny that both with the same name don't pay for spaces.
    It wasn't just a kid issue to start. He is a weak minded

    Sorry that you feel that way. Not all Christians are narrow-minded or bigots!
    Yep, you are right, there are starving children who cannot eat a Bible; and did you know there are missionaries over there who do bring them food?

    The reality is we are HERE and not many of us CAN go there. This subject matter was about abortion. If you believe in God, and I most certainly do, then you have to believe that His Word is Truth and is to be obeyed! God has a purpose and a plan, no doubt about that. He know what He is doing and He has a reason. It is not for us to question, just to obey. In the end we will only stand before Him for what WE have done, no one else. Yes, there are hypocrites who claim to be Christians and probably go to church every time the doors are open, and I would rather go to church with SOME hypocrites than go to hell with ALL of them!!
    Cute but not really intelligent
    anyway, I have to work 2nd and 3rd shift because all the MTs are busy crying and complaining on this forum instead of doing the work they are supposed to do.  Oh boo hoo, I have work oh boo hoo I ACTUALLY have to sit and type.  They expect me to actually WORK for the money they give me.  BOOO HOOOOOOOOOO.  By the way, at least I HAVE a personality.
    That was intelligent AND helpful. Duh!
    x
    That is very intelligent. Makes...
    PERFECT sense!
    I was asking for intelligent answers....
    as to what others do and are expected to do. I am not expected to work, in fact am the age if I wanted to could retire instead of having to scrape and beg for what most of the companies are paying now days. Like I said in the beginning, I have absolutely no problem. I am way past the time of having to worry about where the next check is coming from....Working now because I want to, not because I have to. Thanks and Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you.
    You got intelligent answer as to what other ICs do.

    I think average MT is intelligent

    And we are not now being paid for what we have in our little heads, along with the common sense decisions we have to make on a daily basis. 


    On the other hand, I am so ANNOYED with these people in so called Govt positions, insurance positions, etc. that we have to deal with, no matter where or what situation in my life,  I feel they are being paid more than myself and are really not intelligent.  I have to constantly correct, especially situations after I have gone to a doctor and my insurance company or billing screws up, and we know how long that takes getting tied up in the voice recognition of the insurance companies, etc.  


    Anyhow today, called a Govt office that asked for donations over the holiday of unused cell phones to send in to recieve $5 a piece for recycling. Once she finally answered her phone at 9:22 a.m., yes they are still collecting. I was asking exactly where she was located.  She told me. Then I asked on the north or south side of street, and she said it depends on which way you are coming from.  NOT, I said, excuse me, but north and south do not change. She was dumbfounded.  Just a moment of silence, and changed her answer to right or left. In her position in this company if can bet she is probably being paid somewhere bettween 40K and 50K. Go figure.  This is just one example of many unintelligent people making more than myself and that burns my big butt. 


    I swear for some jobs you have to take a stupid test and pass to be hired.


    Not looking forward to job hunting. 


    Supervisors are a token figure-head for the weak-minded
    who need guidance and approval. Why would anyone keep anybody who needed constant help on doing their job employed. I know my job and what is required. No one at this point in time can really advise me on what to do although as NEW supervisors come and go, they do give it a shot in order to justify their jobs. But they come and go and I stay. Buy a clue.
    Finally, a thought that explains the mess down there!
    That would make sense, those that worked, had familes, had ties all fled when possible. Those few for whatever reasons did not make it out appened to get "stuck" with the lowerclass and those released from jails, which finally explains why in the world anyone whould shot at cops and enlisted servicemen/women trying to come in and help!

    Good grief that has been driving me NUTS! As it IS an unAmerican response, unhuman response to distaster. Hecks, we had a string of house fires, and people who battle it out everyday in our area were bound together....we do living in a working class are where most families have two working parents...but still a shame to think that is the cause of this extreme maddness, but at least a better thought then they all just went mad suddenly!!
    You can't do it that way. There's a post on Productivity Talk that explains how.

    See the Shorthand Commands forum for instructions.
    That explains a great deal. Thanks for the heads up.
    I unsure what the rambling incoherence was due to, but that makes more sense than just her being off her meds or something.
    Yah it proves how HIGHLY intelligent she is.
    was for adults? You go girl? What are you 17? Sounds like something my daughter says.
    This intelligent MT sees you for what you are, a jerk.
    Wow, what an attitude you have. I wonder what you were like as an MT? Mean? Sniping? Backstabbing? Intelligent MTs do appreciate their QA people. Intelligent QA people don't go off like bottle rockets in public like you have. You need the attitude adjustment, not the MT.
    Couldn't think of anything intelligent to say, so you edit?
    What a dimwit!
    Well your statement sounds equally closed-minded to the one you're arguing with
    Where one person prefers to live and why is their own business and no reason to diss someone else's personal choice.
    So MQ explains how they arrived at the increased production percentage for ASR.
    It appears to be a good study with what was excluded.  However, don't tell me about the opportunity for increased financial gain with this so called wonderful increased production of 30% when you decrease my pay by 20%.  The only financial gain I can see in all this is in the profit margin for the company. 
    Not only is he gorgeous, but eccentric, intelligent, and seems non "Hollywood"

    Okay, I need a really astounding, intelligent remark for a quick

    Yes, and Elisabeth was incapable of an intelligent response. sm
    All she could muster was a flustered "don't honey me!"  Brilliant, that Elisabeth.

    for 'Seeking intelligent life': Are you frustrated and unsatisfied?
    Looking in vain for intelligence in your brain?
    How do I get it ST to open when escription is open?

    Honestly that is the most intelligent thing I've heard from an MT co. in a long time. Completely
    You have to be able to retain knowledge.
    You have to know how to reserach effectively.
    You have to be able to use deductive reasoning.
    You have to have confidence in your decisions and not constantly "need assurance."
    You have to be able to separate sounds in your head that are both internal and from multiple external forces.
    Some of these can be taught, some are innate, some take years to develop, some either you got it or you don't.
    face to face demeanor is always different...sm
    guess they figure if you can't see 'em, they can be themselves.
    I know their demeanor is different face to face,
    but if they treat the medical record with such little regard, I really wonder what kind of ethics they have regarding the medical care given to their patients.
    I suspect that unless you post like-minded sanitized goodie goodie posts,
