He said they are doomed if they do not open up the highway going the opposite direction, as you said. And, fuel is an issue, needless to say.

Mandatory evacuation should have been ordered soon, they are saying, as opposed to voluntary.

I'm looking for the person who posted several months ago a laptop for sale that had been
bought for their daughter to get into the business.  I searched the archives as best I could remember the ad but could not find anything.  If this would be you, and the laptop is still available, could you please contact me?   Thanks!
laptop - see message
He said he was just on the internet looking up someone on "my space", wasn't downloading or anything, and that's when it happened. He rebooted and it worked fine but then it happened a second time.
laptop-- see message
I was told that you cannot use a serial port adapter for a footpedal as it is a different technology than USB, so it does not work. I have an HP7000 laptop I love and work on. 17" screen, so I do not have to attach an external, and the keyboard is laid out the same as an external, so I can use it but prefer the external keyboard. The other issue you might have is that some internet platforms that the different companies use are not all compatible with Windows 2000 - so be sure you check that out before signing on with someone, or find out if you can install XP on that laptop. And be sure that you have GOOD ventilation underneath of the laptop, as they do get VERY hot and will wear out faster if proper venting is not followed through with.
get him a laptop. (no message)

I posted that because my message...sm
had nothing to do with transcription...that's what I consider the *subject* here. But it's nice to have a place to post on just about anything and get good feedback! I don't feel so alone anymore...thanks y'all!

Are you the one who posted on the Ask the Dr board?

I go to "The Stop Smoking Center" for online support.  I quit for eight years, but this past 13 months have been so crazy that I relapsed exactly one year ago.  I've been peeved at DH and stressed over a lot of stuff, so I lit up one night while out with a friend.  I quit again for three months using Zyban, but relapsed yet again after stopping that.  I do OK during the day with not smoking, but DH smokes outside at home so it's tough to stay quit being around him.  I just keep making excuses to not quit.  That means I'm just not ready yet.  People handle their emotions and stress fine without smoking.  I handled everything fine for eight years without smoking, and those eight years were pretty hairy, too..  For me, it's a question of replacing my bad emotional crutch with a good one.  (Exercise!)


Good for you for making the decision!  You can do it!  Google the support board I told you about, and I'll probably be around here if you want to buddy up or anything.


This is posted on the job board:

...7 cpl for a 65-char. line with room for increase. Please send resume and place "ESL MT" in the subject line. These are very difficult accents...


Is this serious??  THAT is why there is nothing left to this profession.  Applying for and accepting jobs like this is what has been the kiss of death for MTs.  I hate to think what they would pay for non ELSs - 5 cpl?


I have posted this before on another board
My DH cousin jokeingly said to be a Transcriptionist all you have to do is know how to type and spell. I said "okay, spell pterygoid muscle." After a long blank stare he said, "There is no such thing". Like I said he truely was joking but so many people think there is nothing to this job.
Look on the job board, someone just posted a weekend only job - nm

It should be posted on the Company board, please.

On another board here, I posted a news
article which actually identified this New Zealand company as being owned by a HUGE American national....everyone laughed at me and said this was old news - offshoring. But it was sure news to me that it was my company and now in New Zealand. Personally, I'd love to transfer there. Lots of nice sheep and trees.
Silly me, you posted t his on the Gab board too - sm
I got confused!!!!!
sorry...posted on wrong board

Someone posted abbreviations before this board went
bonkers and I had copied it down. When site went down, so did my copy. Does anyone have a good site for abbreviations? Thanks.
I also posted on the political board, but -
I did not refer to Obama or McCain and the political side of it, I am interested more in how it is effecting us in the United States. Everyone else is posting here about their jobs and that is what I am talking about. I don't care about policies right now, I am wondering how every day life is going to change.

And, no, I am not being rude, just explaining myself.
Just posted on the Political Board
a long rant on this - please refer to that. But also see this website.

It's time to take a stand MTs!

As being a position with Keystrokes. I didn't think KS hired ICs?

Hi Donna. I posted to you on the autoimmune board

Other people have posted about the ad on the company board--
--but the posts were deleted. I'm not sure what's up with that.
Administrator I posted my name for looking for an MT job on your job resume board and I dont see it
there.
We have not moved this topic to the Company board. Perhaps you posted it
there initially thinking it was the Main board.
As always, political posts should be posted on the Politics board.

Posted on the Gab Board about name suggestions for my cookie business if anyone would like to help
I'm not sure how busy the Gab Board is compared to this board, so I thought I'd post here as an fyi. Thanks for any help :)
Sorry to disappoint you but I've never posted on the newbie board!

I agree. And as someone posted on another board here, it's hard to care about it when the dictat
Being these are pretty darn important documents, it's equally as important for us to get it right as it is for them to slow down so we can truly actually hear what they're trying to say. It's a joint effort that often falls short on their end for whatever reason.
On job board. Some goof posted 11:50 hour for 2 years experience

To the service who posted a job ad on the Main board, the reason your post
was removed is because all job ads are to be posted on the Job Seeker's board. Any "well-deserving MT" knows to look at that forum for that "chance to work for an excellent company and make an excellent line rate". Feel free to post your ad there.

Thank you.
MT Week prizes are posted on the Main board. Watch for them and then
follow the directions to enter. If you see a post that has a winner announced beneath it, that prize is no longer available.
This was posted earlier today on the Gab Board and now I am reading this statement from this Pakista

NOTICE


The mtstars.com domain name has been hijacked, so this website will probably go down and then come back up with old information (not current posts). We are setting up at mtstars.net and taking legal action to regain the mtstars.com domain. Please do not post at this site further as the domain has been taken over by an offshore entity.


Thank you for your loyalty over the years, but know that we are not gone. We plan to have mtstars.net up and running very soon ...

Thank you, I will check the board.
Then why are you on this message board?

Is this the same message board that did not want to talk about
Take this to Pressure Valve is an idea. Or create a new board "Roe vs Wade" or "Why Young People do Dumb Things."
Main Message Board
This is the main message board. If you notice, not much on this page is directly related to MT. This is where we go to talk about anything else non-MT related.

A message on the Phillips board of Yahoo
I'm trying to get a feel for who they are and if they would be a good employer if I worked for MQ, and then MQ sold to Nuance.  This is PURE SPECULATION on my part.
Yes, venting generalizations on a message board is about as unprofessional
as a business owner can get. I'm glad I DID NOT apply with this company! Sounds too high maintenance, high stress, negative, dictatorial and critical for me.
