    Maybe it's time to fight fire with fire.
    I find cherrypicking an absolutely deplorable practice. That being said, perhaps it's time we set aside our integrity (believe me, I know how hard it will be to do) and send back reports also. We are penalized for our experience and dedication. You can be sure a cherrypicker's paycheck looks a lot better than ours. I think it's time we whine and cry about bad dictators and send a HUGE message to corporate by refusing to do them.
    and youre perfect, congrats.
      You're a genius!
    but youre still giving them your money...that is not the answer sm
    Just dont go to the fastfood joints that practice this at all...it's that simple.  You better believe I'll be finding out who's taking my order before I eat out again!
    If your just working for health insurance, then youre
    And that, m'dear, is a big part of the problem in this profession. Women who won't stand up to anyone, and pretend to be happy for the crusts of bread they're tossed while shackled to their PCs.
    did you google for hyperbaric oxygen in ***, name of town or county where youre moving? sm
    might have to start wtih the state and narrow it down from there, too.
    apparently, WE are the stronger sex

    Although I do not watch Survivor, from what you describe, the women were stronger than the men, correct?


    Face it, women are way stronger than men. Why do ya think we have the babies? Cause the pregnancy alone would KILL a man!


     I love men, though, weakness and all! (Please, I am just kidding, ok!)


    Hooray for Jodi!! You are SO MUCH STRONGER

    ...than you were last week.  I am SO happy to see that.  I am glad that you came here for our support.  I wrote you a nice long e-mail in your original chain and was so worried about you.  I see with each additional posting that you are growing stronger and stronger!!!!  I sure like to think it was all the support we gave you here.  You deserve so much better than what was happening to you.  I am so happy for you!!


    "I am woman...hear me ROAR!"  You rock, Jodi!  Please keep us updated, okay.  You know you are in a lot of prayers.  ((((hugs))))



    I am 60, stronger, smarter, and better work ethic than any 20 yo
    The only *perk* to offshoring is the companies get to pay them even less than they do us, not to mention they can train them to be a lot more obedient and not actually demand to be treated like humans.
    If you feel you need to be seen at ER, go. It will just make your case stronger. nm

    chlorine is bleach, only stronger in a pool--sm
    some people think that just because it is packaged and used almost on a daily basis, that it is safe. It is a harsh chemical and it is not surprising to me that it would cause hoarseness when swallowed. Just breathing it, for me, causes lung and breathing problems. He may be extra sensitive to it. Don't poo-poo is just because somebody else says "he is fine". It is a chemical...and if you don't believe me, swallow some yourself and see what happens...duh.
    P.S. - I'm alot stronger cardio-wise also

    switched to miniatures-stronger, more resistant to disease and pests.
    and now I actually like them way better than the standards.
    Fire in AZ
    Are you near Payson, I do recall a couple years back, we were there looking for property and when we got back to SoCal the whole area was on fire, is that a yearly thing there?
    I would get an attorney to fire off a ...

    letter.  I have had to do that several times in the past (not MT related), and it is amazing how quickly things are resolved.  It has only cost me $35 to explain the situation to the attorney and have a short letter sent.  I think it would be well worth it in your case...$35 vs. $1300.


    Also, be sure to send the letter certified, return receipt requested.  Even though that is only to obtain proof of delivery, there seems to be something "official" about it...and that can't hurt. 


    If you are the supervisor why not fire her? If she
    isn't carrying her share of the load and was switched from a different department for the same why is she still there? 
    FIRE THE CHERRY PICKERS
    They ought to track down your email and find out who you are and fire your arse!!!!
    whoa, let me put out the fire while it's still small (sm)


    I don't want him to be like so many of the child stars we have all heard of...I simply was asking about print ads, commercials, stuff like that.  He's as cute as any kid I've seen in the Macy's catalog or on the Mott's Apple Juice commercials.  And he is chock full of charisma...and too, I'm just ASKIN'! Slow down on the flames, please...there's only one of ME to fight the fire!


    Yes, I used to live and work there! Fire away
    with any questions!
    I got a fire alarm dictation too!

    That is a RIOT!  The one in my ear sounded just like the "Enterprise" going to red alert...and the dude just kept right on dictating but thankfully he pretty much screamed his dictation and successfully overpowered the "bwooop, bwooop, bwooop!" of the alarm.


       


    I'd be worried about fire issues... (n/msg)
    *
    Great balls of fire! sm
    The most I EVER got was maybe 250 lph, and that was including headers, etc., and a word Expander like PC Shorthand. Course I was always a sluggish typist, never the fastest by any means! Just couldn't do that....I depended on my experience and my word expander.
    Be glad I am not your boss. I would fire you in a heartbeat.

    Betcha they would sure fire someone for not meeting production! nm
    X
    She sounds like the type to go off on a tangent and fire you
    over her own overcommitments. I'd tell her that you agreed to work M-F whatever hours and that anything else was "extra". You are not being paid "extra" and you don't appreciate the fact that she think's it's your fault she overextended herself. You did not promise to do extra work, you helped her out as a favor. Now she's being ungrateful about it.

    Urgh. That's why I never liked working for the small MTSOs. No matter how much you do for them, they never pay you extra, they blame you for everything, they're always overstressed and curt toward people, and they never have anything nice to say. They expect you to be available 24/7 and they forget that they are the ones running the business, not us. It's so easy to blame someone else for your own responsibilities. It's so easy to dump all your garbage dictators and problems on someone else, then blame them for everything that goes wrong. Never an appreciative word or extra pay for overtime, evenings, weekends. Then they wonder why none of us want to work those shifts.
    I was so freaked last night. We almost had a house fire
    due to Christmas lights.  If we had left the lights on all night, we definitely would have had a fire.  For some strange reason, one of my kids unplugged the lights.  Then he told us there were burn marks on the plug.  The plug-ins had melted the power strip, and the carpet was even hot.  That would have really sucked.  Last year, one of my neighbors down the street lost her home to a fire right before Christmas.
    Get OUT! Good for you Albert! Fire Fingers, eh? nm

    I would think the school could fire him if he can't effectively teach- sm
    and the kids take advantage, etc. It is for his own good as well as everyone else that he can hear. They make hearing aids so small now, vanity is a big price to pay for not being able to hear. I would think though that the school would have good cause to can him though IF he does not try to work to the best of his ability and if hearing aids help him to work better than he needs to do it, no one is going to make fun of him for wearing them (he's a big boy anyway I'm sure he could take what the kids can dish out), I would think he'd have more trouble from the kids without them. Good luck in making him see sense.
    It took the fire department to get her out of the house! My GAWD!!!!

    Hot dogs, smores over the fire pit before doing fireworks in our
    [
    And when the fire alarm goes off above your head, MOVE AWAY.

    take Amanda's challenge. it's down a lot of posts with a fire tag.NM
    no message.
    Yeah. They are so fair that they fired their president like they fire everyone else.

    No fire patrol for MQ needed..it's for the flamin' idiots who
    WON'T go somewhere else. They just stand there like an idiot saying, "please, please MQ -- Please dump more crap on me...please cheat me more...I'm happy to take it"!! ROFL

    I mean it. That's whatcha look like and sound like.

    Again...Same old complaints and whine from you? Same old answers from us...Get the heck outta Dodge!! LMAO

    Don't ya just hate it when your misery won't produce that for others?!!

    We appreciate the comedy routine though, ladies! Always fun to come and laugh at those who are incapable of stopping the big bad companies from using them BY LEAVING. LMAO

    Fire patrol means putting out FIRES, you dum-dum. LOL
    ..
    where there is smoke there is fire and these lawsuits are pretty much backed up by SEC.
    Fraudulent billing, books that are cooked, are not claims that are made frivilously and are not accepted into a court of law without some merit.  Watch and see.  If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it may be a duck.  Apply that to everyone who deals with MQ involved in a lawsuit against them, MTs, Shareholders and Clients.  Plus the delisting by SEC.  Mighty suspicious huh?   Not just one person or entity but three different ones - PLUS SEC.
    Retired fire captain. His pension is doing it's thing for us, thank God! nm

    I type fire claims/investigation reports
    It's really easy work and pays pretty good. It's also nice to have a break from medical, but some of the reports are really sad to type. I do the work for a local fire chief that has a side business and he investigates a lot of car accidents when the car catches on fire. A lot of times there are fatalities involved, and they usually involve children too. They can get pretty gruesome when they go into detail though. I get paid by the page and most of the time I type depo summaries, which are just highlighted parts of the deposition that I type into a summarized report. I actually put an ad in the local paper for transcription work and got this account. It's only about $400/month, but I do MT part time too.
    Oh yeah baby, just 12 more hits and I get FLAMED! Come on' give me FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nm
    ,
    Both. Choice A "can" put you there, but so can a major illness, accident, fire, etc.

    with this economy it is harder and harder to work your way out of poverty no matter what the reason for being there is.


    If I was chosen, I would learn to make fire and put on weight before leaving. nm
    :+
    Really really stinks to fire someone in a conference call for gosh sakes. nm

    Thank you! I may do a trial...
    well.  I was just wondering if I had to retype as I do have some other accounts that I would eventually put on there.  I was also wondering about the invoice feature as one accont I get paid for blank lines....  Anyway not to ramble...  Thanks again! 
    Maybe you could ask for a trial
    Maybe you could ask for a trial period, tell the potential employer the problem, that DSL is not available to you. I may be wrong, but I think you can get satellite internet most anywhere, if there's no other alternative. Also, if you are able to get cable, check into cable modem, which most any cable company is doing now. Sorry for your situation! I hope you find work soon!
    trial - would if I could!
    Unfortunately, I've already called the cable company and that's not available here yet either. Satellite is, but most of these companies say that it MUST be DSL or cable and that satellite will not work.

    I would certainly offer a trial, but I can't even get anyone to talk to me! They find out I don't have cable/DSL, that's the end of the conversation.

    It's just nuts...

    NOT trial
    The softwares are not good for 90 days or something. They are good without any trial period.
    You tell them my sister MQMT. MQ fire patrol out in full force today!
    But we can contain their idiot remarks with logic.
    Neighbor has indoor woodburning stove, started house on fire twice. sm
    He has vinyl siding and installed the outside pipes himself.  Apparently he is in over his head.  Last year, his siding started on fire and he burnt up his electrical wiring.  When heating season started this year, the fire department was back.  He did it again.  Make sure you have a professional do the work.
    There is a free 30 day trial you
    can download to your computer. But it is missing a couple of features, can't remember which ones
    AVG says that it is only a 30 day free trial
    :(
    Flashtype trial
    where is link??? didn't see
    I think it would be likely a doc would prescribe a trial Rx although

    EVERYONE does better attention-wise with stimulant medication, whether or not they have ADHD. That's why people drink coffee in the morning.
