I washed my keyboard in the dishwasher and
it worked like a charm.  Use about 10% of normal dishwashing compound, but do not put through the dry cycle.  I put mine on the patio where it is nice and warm and let it dry for 3 days.   I had read about this before but was afraid to try it, but I had to get a new keyboard, so experimented.  Might save me from buying 3 or 4 boards a year.  (My keyboards like coffee, water, coke, etc, so they get a little sticky after I feed them on schedule.) 
Washed my keyboard in the DW
and now it is FRIED! I did as directed but it will not work. Has been drying out now for about 8 days, just peeps when I plug it back in! It was my favorite too! boo hoo.
I tell my DH if its not in the hamper it won't get washed - sm
He has gotten better with that, though every now and then he asks why his shirt/pants/whatever was not washed....I reiterate, because it wasn't in the hamper. It's like training a dog really. Just keep doing it until they figure it out. Granted they train us too, I already pick up about 50 paper towels a day that he can't seem to make it to the trashcan with...slight exaggeration of course (10 really)....funny thing is my dad does the exact same thing, must be a guy thing. As RadGuy says they are lazy. My DH pulls the "I don't know how to do it" thing all the time, which I know to be total bull. He is actually quite handy around the house though but it takes quite a while usually to actually get him to do whatever the project might be. As for the battle of wills, I usually lose after a week since it drives me nuts, except when we moved, I lasted a whole YEAR, then finally unpacked his T-shirts and other dress shirts since the box just sat in our bedroom all that time still packed. Finally caved in on that one. Crazy.
Don't put in dishwasher, water gets too hot, but you

can wash in the tub or shower.   I've washed mine 3 times in the shower.  I don't use anything, just hot water and run over it a few times, let it sit for a bit and then run water again to get anything really sticky off.  I then shake it upside down really good and then place it upside down on a towel near a vent to dry.  It takes me 3 days to get it dried out good.  I've used it in 2 days and kept getting errors, so let it dry a third day and no problems. 


You can take a warm damp cloth and wipe over the keyboard. I would suggest unplugging it from the computer so you don't reprogram something.  I also take an index card and run it down between the keys.  You'd be surprised how much dust/animal hair you get out.  I also turn my keyboard over and thumb it a couple of times on my tray and that gets out a lot of crumbs.


 


Supposedly, you can run it through the dishwasher. Haven't tried it, though.

No this is not the first cycle

I'm going to pull my records, but it seems to be getting longer and longer between deposits.


Same cycle as in the 1960s
some say it is NOT global warming, as the waters have only warmed 1 degrees... it is that this weather pattern runs in cycles and the cycle is NOW. YIKES. It is horrible. I live in MS and it has been absolutely devastating! Hopefully, more rain will not come out of this for MS and LA through this storm and, hopefully, it will not turn!
I'd suggest a gentle cycle and even then you may come out with a tangled
mass, depending on how the yarn was rolled up.
That's probably so she can change her "company name" and start the cycle all over again! n

cherrypicking co-worker issue (meant to post it on this board instead of MQ board) sm...

I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies.  Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...



We have one cherrypicker on the account.  Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course.  She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad. 



But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time.  I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.



What would you all do?  I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account.  In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.


My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....


Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&

Job Board ???
What happened to the Job Board that was at the top of the Job Seeker's Board?  I have not been able to find it for several days.  HELP!
It has been said MQ has own board here,
nm
new to the board

Just wanted some insight I guess on what the whole field is about, i.e. hospitals versus working at home, etc.  I know that sounds broad, but there is so much info on here, it's hard to grasp it all. 


 


 


On this board is the first I have ever
heard of this ASR. So, everybody will be doing this?
You will never believe it according to this board
but I am out of Amherst. Obviously, if you run out of work, it is not the MTs fault, but if the work is there and you can't be productive, I think there is a problem with the MT. I do run out of work as well, but I have never been on this board complaining about it. I find different times to work when the work is there to get my lines in. It is as simple as that.
See job board
There was a job for veterinary ophthalmology listed on the job board late last week, but I think they required a fair amount of experience...
Welcome to the board! nm

Sorry if on this board you can't say
you've missed people. I will be back on later and I am sure, Happy MQer, one of you will too. I look forward to it! xx oo
Please.. what board are we on?
take it to your cronies.
I have only been on this board
a short time myself when things started to go bad. I feel it is an outlet for me because as I and others have stated MQ does not care and we want to speak to each other in some form.

I am not afraid of taking any leap. I am trying to stay with a company that I have been loyal to because I have been with them so long. I do not enjoy jumping from job to job. I do not like being treated this way and it only happened within the last couple of months.

There are no proper channels at MQ. I have tried, believe me.

I do have control over my life that is for sure and I know when I am being treated unfairly and now is that time. I will be doing something about it; but I need to find that other job. I just can't quit, cannot afford to, and who knows how long it will be before I can get started again all over.

I have 20 years experience and have never been treated like this so it is a bit overwhelming and unbelievable that it is happening. I expected to be with MQ until I retired. No such luck now.

I will be leaving this board soon but when people, not saying you, are nasty and do not understand what is going on it is hard to not respond to them.
Has anyone seen the job board

And if so,why isn't everyone going with them? Sure sounds good.


There's an ad at the top of the job board saying this exactly
But don't know anything about the company.
