Once again I seek forgiveness...

Perhaps I spoke to soon. I am very well aware of the problems facing MTs today. I am also aware that the MTs who have sweated blood to learn this profession over the years feel cheated. I have no personal control over that. Your choice is to move forward or move on. I have no anger towards Gloria or anyone else. The profession is difficult, as well as being a low paying job for the quality of work and the knowledge required. But, this is not the only job out there in todays marketplace that feel the brunt of cut-backs, decrease of benefits, and too much work on one person.

The whole post was about forgiveness and love. Dislike them as you wish, but
I do admire them for their courage, love, and forgiveness they have obviously shown through their grief and tragedy. Can I ask you? Do you love and forgive like that?
Please have her seek help!
Men are pretty clueless about this eating disorder issue. While there are men who can suffer from it, it impacts FAR more young girls and women. What sometimes starts out as a way to lose weight becomes a lifelong issue with devastating results. I have typed reports for several young girls who died in their early 20s of heart and kidney failure. The parents were hysterical and still pretty clueless as to the "why." Please take the lead and get her into a program to speak with someone. Good luck to you.
It says nothing... It only says that some people seek out crack pot

Hey if you just sat back and didn't seek
support, I would not think very highly of you. How do you know my situation? Are you judging me? You don't even know the whole story and how is it you are posting and reading it? Why do you even need to respond? Are YOU obsessing? Have you read every post? Let me tell you, NOBODY'S perfect!!
SEEK MARRIAGE COUNSELING NOW!
You need to be telling this to a marriage counselor. If your husband won't go with you, go without him. It will give you the insight needed to make this tough decision.
Seek another physician as fast as you can sm
the one you have obviously does not have your best interests at heart, nor does he care. Any good physician with an ounce of brains knows exactly how addicting OcyContin is and should not keep any patient on it for the long term. You should also seek a rehabilitation clinic for addiction problems. You can't do this by yourself. I think they have outpatient clinics, but you need help and you need to get it soon. Good luck.
Please seek the advice of a counselor, not your mom.
It is not fair to involve family members in these things. Trust me when I say I have been there and done that. The counselor we saw also told us that. The best thing we ever did was seek the advice of a counselor. Yes, if he refuses to go then go alone. Start there. Do not make any decisions until you speak with a trained, impartial party. The Dr. Phil book "Family Matters" is an excellent source of information as well for the entire family. I truly hope you work this out. Our society is far too quick to just take the high road, especially where kids are involved. You need to truly TRY here.
I suggest you seek out an accountant sm
Since you have no experience as IC, you really need to talk to an accountant. Honestly, that is the only way to be knowledgable about it. I had to do that 18 years ago when I started as IC. Each year, the tax laws are updated, new write-offs, things you were deducting can't be deducted anymore, etc.

I have had the same accountant now for about 12 years, and he is not that expensive. Last year, he charged $180. Not too bad.
Seek medical attention quickly.
It could be an allergic reaction. 
Why would you seek career advice on this board?
I never did understand this. You applied with a company, obviously was contacted about their opportunities, then you do your "due diligence". This now includes seeking advice, recommendations and/or comments from people you do not know on a uncensored, unsupervised b*tch board. Is that really a good idea? If you want to know about what is like to work there, ask to talk with somone in Operations, contact the HR Director, ask to speak to a couple of random employees. I have found situations are what YOU make them, not some disgruntled person with an axe to grind because they couldn't hack it and got fired, or not some management type trying to earn brownie points by kissing the CEO's butt. I know people who have worked there for years and are happy. I know others who hated their manager or supervisor or hated their account and left. Make up your own mind- I assume you're paying your own way through life!
It is time to seek you own accounts to be paid what you are worth! nm

slow periods, seek alternative extra cash? sm
Docs, like us, have busy family lives. I found that after Hannukah and Christmas (or sometimes with a break from family stuff) they "catch up" on dictation. Hopefully, this is what still happens. I have a son who is a professional and he likes to go in on Christmas Eve morning because it's so "slow" that he can get a lot of paperwork done. So hang in. Another aspect of today's world is that docs are carrying laptops now as is my family PCP and they are all doing their own notes. I think it's a "wait and see" thing, the world is changing and hopefully there is a survival tool for us somewhere. We are all being replaced by technology, sadly. Only time will tell. I was told several years ago that I should go into "scoping" which is kind of like editing, etc., you go into public stenographers machine gibberish and make sense out of it, kind of like making sense out of what comes back from India. I was offered this but refused to clean up someone else's "mess." Everyone should be thinking of alternative ways to get by, it's never easy. It's sad, as I have put a lot of time and $$$ into a profession that doesn't appreciate my knowledge. From your posts, Blondie, you have a good heart. I hope things get better for you. Try to have a happy holiday. How did you make out with those dogs you took in? Did the owner take them back or at least pay you? This may be an alternative few extra bucks for you. You seem to be an animal lover and a caring person.I don't live near you, but I would rather leave my Golden with you than some kennels around here. Thus, I do not go away if I can't take my dog. Hope things pick up for you work-wise.
