First of all - relax. As I stated, it is just something that piqued my interest and thought I would look into. No, I don't think fast typing is all it takes so try to stop being so insulted by your interpretation of my post. I posted on this board because it seemed like a good forum and I'm curious.
I wouldn't be doing MT to make a living, as I also stated. Just to make some extra cash. I understand that you may be a tad ruffled by someone who works in the computer industry since you are afraid technology is going to make your job expendable, but please don't take that out on me.
Obviously I am not sure if this is a viable option for me otherwise I wouldn't be posting for experienced MT suggestions to begin with now would I? I did not mean to insult or offend anyone by looking into a part time job that I could do from home even though I already have a great career.

relax......
black has always been my color, even at 37. i wasnt as loyal as your daughter, but i turned out alright. let her express who she is. or you might just ruin it for her.
but dont forget, with kids, there's a chain there you might have to jerk every now and then lol. i still jerk my son's chain once in a while, but he tells his friends he got a cool mom. lol good luck
relax, and 1st of all,
remember that your liaison is there to help you!! TALK to him/her when you are having a problem.
Most always when you go back into the same WT, the same report WILL come back to you. Even if it does not, ignore the demographics and go to the text box, and hit Alt-R. it will, like previous poster said, restore it all. If you don't have the right sound file, x out of it, and from your text box, hit alt-H to restore correct sound file.
keep a copy of window commands and hot key commands close at hand.
my suggestion also, is that when making bold/expanders, use an identifier for the bold, ie bsubjective or bsub or subjb. then later when you are maybe doing a secondary account that does not use the bold headers, you won't have to re-do your Expanders for that account.
i too came from DQS and after this stuff became second hand, now i love bayscribe.
feel free to e/m me too.
MQx4 you need to just relax
I don't understand either. If I recall, and these posts don't lie, there are many offensive posts made here this morning. Why then, is just Barney being attacked and being accused of being Zipper or whoever.
MQx4 just needs to leave well enough alone.
Question for MQx4 - why on earth did you accuse Barney of being those posters from the other day? I guess perhaps since I might tend to be a bit offenssive in this post that I am Zipper or whoever, right? Please, you are the one that has gone overboard here.
relax, have some cholcolate
I was watching Larry King live about a week ago and there was a doctor on who said dark chocolate has as much antioxidants as green tea and 1 glass of red wine-- so have some chocolate it does the body good
Oh Susanna, just relax
O
relax! just don't read what you don't want!
!
Relax - it is a phase and really doesn't mean anything.
My daughter is her own person and does not care to fit into a crowd. She just started wearing jeans this year - was always in sweat pants and a sweat shirt - the athletic type. So, it is good for her to not want to be in "the in crowd" so to speak. Black is okay as long it is not that "gothic look" as what the kids call it!
He's using the puter to relax & de-stress, same as you. - nm
relax, it just the MT-Kikki-gang
buh-bye
Take a deep breath and relax!!!!!
You are feeling what every MT feels, newbie, experienced or old-timer. I have been doing MT for 8 years and still crack myself up with some of the mistakes I make. The fact that you are rereading and finding your mistakes is good. In time you will start to not make as many mistakes and your speed will improve. Quality over quanitity was what I was always told. Unless you are working for a company that is pushing you for turnaround time, just relax and you will be fine. If you are working for a company that is pushing for turnaround time and not as worried about quality, I would begin looking for a better company. MTs need time to build their skill and no company can expect you to know everything in only two years of experience.
Heck, in my 8 years, I still look things up, read, re-read and still sometimes have to leave a blank or ask the doc for clarification. That does not make me a bad MI but in most cases a better MT because in this business, we can not afford to guess what the answer is.
God Bless.
I would still have to work, but I would ease up on it and relax for a change.

PS - Benadryl at night also helps a lot to relax the muscles. nm

In all due respect, some of you MTs need to relax and chill on these issues of "cherry pickers
VR or Indian MTs. I have been in this business for over 25 years now, and this is the very nature of this business. Work is always pooled around according to WHO is doing the pooling. If you're an MT who always helps out cheerfully, always willing to give help where needed, sure, you're probably gonna get rewarded by having some sweet dictators routed to your pool. If you're the pooler and your friend is the recipient, you're probably gonna tend to give your friend some cake dictators. If, on the other hand, you're pooling work, and there's a cranky, whining, complaining MT, you're probably gonna just happen to send her some of those wonderful marble-mouthed dictators. There is ALWAYS someone at the start of the process, doling out the work to someone -directing it where THEY want it to go for whatever reason. Same thing in the old days of tapes - tapes were handed out according to whoever was handing them out! Then C-phones, and work would be diverted to your "line", and now the internet. I don't know if you are all new to the field, or just forgetful, but this is the nature of the industry. So many are so paranoid and blaming cherry pickers, Indians, or who knows! Most cherry pickers don't even have to cherry pick. The GOOD work goes to the GOOD workers. Its simple. So, be nice, have a good attitude, and do your job. You're far more likely to get good dictators that way then dreaming up conspiracy theories or looking to blame the invisible cherry pickers. You can look to those over you in authority, and really should perhaps put a little reflection on WHY you are getting the garbage over and over. It sure can't hurt to try to look at it another way, cause its really not all as complex and complicated to figure out as you would like! Look to yourselves before always, always blaming those cherry picking Indian VR MTs! Start tomorrow with a NEW attitude. Or, if its too late at your job, maybe start fresh somewhere else! I doubt it would hurt, and you sure might find yourselves with a new attitude and on the receiving end of some good reports!
so maybe you should kick back and watch some tv as you relax and drift off in your lazyboy.
you'll hate yourself in the morning when you read your crazya$$ posts.
This sounds like my kind of relationship! No great expectations and you can relax
I always have a fear of disappointing people. It has caused me to isolate myself...
Myrtle Beach has my vote. No passports, no airports, customs... Just kick back & relax!! My vote!!
