That is exactly what I meant. Evil for the sake of evil, not for the sake of satan

who is the essence of evil in Christianity. Call evil what you want it exists in every nation and every culture.

Having said that, did not the terrorists call America the Great Satan after their attack on 9/11?

    Evil Co-Worker
    Anyone else have an evil co-worker or two?  I work at home but there's always one that still manages to find me.  I would ilke to slap this current one if I could reach her through my computer.  She thinks she's my supervisor.  I try to be respectful and polite, but that's not working.  All my other co-workers are wonderful.   I can't find anything in the company handbook about slapping not being appropriate, so that's my next plan of action.  I just have to figure out a way to do that through cyberspace.
    Evil Co-Worker
    I agree! Give her enough rope and evenutally she will hang herself. You are so not alone. I had to deal with one of these types for nearly 2 years. I would be trying to get my work done on my account and her IMs were poping up left and right. I even had my "Busy Working" sign up! She never did her work -- waited until the last minute. Most times I ended up doing her share because of it. Unfortunately, no one in charge seemed to notice or just did not care since I was picking up what she lacked. The money was good because I was getting a ton of extra lines, but it was killing me and destroying my marriage. She would go on and on about her family all the time. Like I cared! Her kids were sick every other day. She always had an excuse why she didn't get her work done. The kicker? Once I had to do her work last minute about an hour or so before it was all due -- I am pounding away on my keyboard she Knows I am doing her work! The IMs pop up telling me how she is helping her sister write a resume! Hello! She should have been doing her own work or at the very least leaving me alone so I could do it for her. I would type my buttock off to have an evening free -- guess what? She would suddenly have some sort of problem as soon as she saw my work was finished and she would then be unable to do her own. Guess what came next? Yep -- I got stuck working while she got away with it. I swear it was like she was stalking me on-line. Don't know how she knew, but seemed like the second I got up to use the bathroom or went to the kitchen for a soda the IMs would bing. Just the memories still drive me crazy. I can relate. It's not a fun club to belong to.
    Wow, you are really evil to post this.

    The only evil I find about smoking is. . .

    How darn hard it is to quit.  I have tried everything.  Patches, gum, Wellbutrin, Zyban, cold turkey, etc.


    Don't buy them by the pack anymore.  We (my husband and I) roll our own.  Buy a can of tobacco and have a little machine and thought that would deter us, but noooooooooo. $8 a week compared to over $8 a DAY.


    We do keep trying so there is hope that someday, hopefully within the next 6 months, we can say see ya!  Yeah right.


     


    Why is my evil mind keep saying SHILL?

    tell your evil mind to hush up

    I've been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking since November 2002, and it's possible for me to produce more lines dictating than using the keyboard.


    LOL ... have to admit I get a bit of evil satisfaction from that too. :-) nm

    Evil, deceiptful organization! nm

    Taking the evil out of the world is one thing.

    Sending a teenager (18) just out of high school to a country with acknowledged lower drinking age (18) is perhaps contributing to the vulnerability and adding a little evil into that life teens life.  No one thinks straight when they are drinking.  New drinkers + naive teens equals disaster.  Mix in a foreign country with different customs and laws.  What were these parents thinking?


    I couldn't resist, must be the evil spirits in the air.

    Oh man,pure-dee evil stuff! "Worse" when you use

    Another definition of satanic is a behavior that is evil , which I think may have been the original
    poster's intended meaning.

    I would do it again for my kids' sake, but sm
    not because I enjoy it. If I could ever figure out what else I could do at home as a professional of some sort (rather than selling something), I'd be back to school to do it.
    For heaven's sake! It's not THAT bad!
    You can go to CareerStep, one of the "top 3" schools for about $1,600, and if you work at it you should be able to finish it in 9-12 months. As for purchasing equipment, you'll get a foot pedal with your course and Express Scribe (the software you'll use to actually transcribe) is free. You will have to buy a few reference books and some fairly cheap software--that all shouldn't run you more than $400-$500, tops. I'm assuming you already have a computer, or else how could you have posted this note?

    Now, there are jobs being taken over by software and being outsourced to other countries. And there ARE doctors who dictate TERRIBLY. But there are still some decent jobs out there and decent doctors as well. If you work at it and sell yourself well, you should do okay. Good luck!
    For Heaven's sake... don't do what I did!
    I accepted a position with another company, turned in my resignation when I received the acceptance letter from the other company.  Friday will be my last day on the job, and I have not heard from the other company as to downloading software on computer and my first day is supposed to be Monday.  My employer has already hired someone in my place, so I can't ask for my old job back. The past several days I've sent out about 5 or so resume's to various companies.
    for sanity's sake
    I have been an MT/homeschooling mom for 7 years now. I work from 5:30am-9am and then from 7-10pm. We school from 9-12:30. I actually sit with my kids the whole time. They will do reading and some independent work in the evening(homework). From 1-5 is our park time, ballet, karate, etc. Fridays we have off for co-ops, field trips, and errands. This works great for us. Try finding a homeschool support group in your area so that you can get more involved. Your kids need it also. I am in Florida and here kids are allowed to participate in public and private school extracurricular activities. If you have older kids this may be a good option for them as well. But by finding a support group it will give you some interaction.
    Please, just for my own sake, what money
    do you think you would make as opposed to what you make per week now? Give me a ball park figure on your salary, do you work full or part and I will get back with you on this and let you know what I make doing VR, ok?
    And for heaven's sake....

    don't dictate in the bathroom.  That's waaaaaay more than we want to hear!



    For Pete's sake!!!
    English is our official language. People should speak English fluently before even being hired for a job here unless it is of course labor, but even those people should be required to be in school learning English before being promoted to anything that has any level of responsibility!! I agree with the original poster and that does not make me a bigot. I am married to a Mexican and have half Mexican children but my husband was in school learning English when we were dating and I could type his dictations all day long if he were a doctor because he learned it fluently or I wouldn't have married him!! It gripes the heck out of me when I hear MTs make excuses for these people, and I am not talking about all foreigners. I am talking about the ones who speak such horrible English that it does not even sound like English and I would say after 9 years of doing this that equals about 2/3rds of them!! They should not even be allowed to practice medicine here. Would you want one of them operating on you?? Come on let's get real here!! Even my husband agrees so don't be calling anyone bigots when we are just being honest and real!! Also, if I were a business owner which I have been in the past I would never hire someone who did not speak English that is unintelligable and then I would probably be sued for discrimination, what a joke!! Don't you people realize that they are also affecting our business community, our economy??? Businesses cannot operate when there is bad communication or miscommunication, etc. Haven't you had things messed up because of getting an Indian on the phone from New Delhi and having to force them to put someone else on the line that can understand what you are even saying?? I had a plane reservation messed up for my 15 year old daughter flying across country because of a man screwing it all up because he did not speak well enough English to understand what I was saying. I won't name the airline but you never reach an English as a FIRST language speaking person and I will NEVER fly with them again!! People this is not just about our jobs, this actually can be dangerous!! I ALSO have discontinued all business with any of the other companies I did business with previously who when I call are Indian. That is a whole different issue though, the outsourcing, but they both gripe the heck out of me and it has nothing to do with them personally. I love everyone equally. I don't care what nationality they are, but you have to look at this practically not emotionally......
    Oh for pity's sake
    How about Americans get used to the fact that their country is a mixture of different peoples/culture/languages and try just a little harder to understand and be understood?

    Or would that interfere too much with the American Arrogance factor? :)
    For Pete's sake, let it go

    Seriously.  Let it go.  See my post above re paranoid nuts.


    I use that phrase all the time and my African American girlfriends call me Casper I'm so white.


     


    They must be so frustrated. Gnashing their evil-doing teeth. Trying new bait, tossing out the line.
    But we're not gonna BITE! Have I mentioned to you that rabbits bite? Some do, though I don't think they particularly mean it...
    Glad you have your own space for your sake SM
    Lots to discuss and now you can do it without us peering over your shoulder and commenting right and left. :) Good luck to all of you!
    Oh, for Pete's sake, just hire another MT...sm
    to cover the account if you want to take a vacation. If you are working as an IC, you should be able to pay more than enough to make it worth her while. Ideally, you get enough work to hire one more person to work with you, and the two of you work together to cover off times and sick days. Honestly, can't anyone think their way out of a paper bag?
    For heaven's sake, where is your lawyer?
    Your divorce is final in 2 weeks, and you're asking this super important question to MTs on a message board? PLEASE ask your lawyer.
    For Cripee's sake! The question was
    whether she had to work on the holidays if asked to do so. IF this person even had the slightest idea of what being an IC meant, he/she would never EVER have had to ask a bunch of strangers what she had to do! Basic running-your-own business 101. The IC is the one who calls the shots. Does The Donald ask his cooking staff if he has to work on Christmas? Does a CEO call his secretary and ask if he should work? ICs are ICs - the entire point is that YOU are your own boss and call the shots - not vice versa. Thus the danger to our industry for the REAL ICs - those who are so ignorant of this basic business practice are nothing more than employees, allowing the doctors to slack and not pay taxes, etc. And that is the antithesis of being an IC.
    Oh for heaven's sake...if she knew how to...
    do that, she wouldn't have a question!  Anyway, what platform do you use?  Most of the time you will find a folder in the "My Documents" folder or in the hard drive (go to "My Computer" and click on your hard drive--usually C:) by the same name as your platform.  Inside that folder will be your templates.  When you get there, you can press Ctrl and F together.  A screen will come up asking what you want to search for.  Click "All files and folders".  Where it says "All of part of the file name:" put "*.dot" (without the quotes).  This will find all of the templates within that folder.  Hope this helps. 
    It was a joke for goodness sake. Get a sense of

    What's the problem?  You don't like jokes, you feel the need to defend George, or someone steal your thunder?  Sheesh. 


    For goodness sake, this has nothing to do with MQ it is about a totally different company I am
    looking into. Geez.
    Get marital counseling for the sake of your children.
    You probably could stay there your entire life and manage but the kids deserve better.
    Oh, for Heaven's sake - if you don't like it just don't reply. Grow up.

    Oh, for cripes' sake. I just voted Thumbs Down
    I guess you have to vote Thumbs Up to get the 10 votes to have it removed (Reason drop-down: Solicitation of business, or something like that ... I can't vote again now to see what it was)
    For goodness sake, if you're going to drag the Bible into it
    you might read the part about man being created separately in God's image. In the Old Testament, there are distinctly different punishments for killing a man and killing a beast. Now, no doubt God loves animals and they will be in heaven, but I can assure you, God has not created man and animal on the same level.
    Oh for Pete's sake! Had Internet access long?
    sheesh
    For Pete's sake, if you're too sick to work,
    call in sick!!
    This past week I've had chronic sinus drainage and a nagging,constant cough that has kept me up most of the night. Felt okay during the day,(although typing speed decreased significantly).Was able to take cat naps off and on during the day to make up for lack of sleep, otherwise,I wouldn't have hesitated to take a day or two off.
    If I'm "really" sick,I call in for a sick day without hesitation!!
    I've had a sniffler - blow your nose for heaven's sake!

    It's CHINA for Pete's sake, where they still kill girl babies. Do you think
    they have some sort of dog euthanasia patrol of paid government employees?  Puhleeeze yourself.
    HIPAA is a joke, The majority of reports go to 3rd world countries, for pete's sake. nm
    :+
    OK! I'm glad you're back down here. Now don't go back up there and read those evil posts ag
    Okay? But I have to leave you now, sadly. Thousands of noble dictating doctors are anxiously awaiting my help with their "dictations"....They're all loading up on chips, drinking lots of soda so they can burp, and then have to go to the bathroom...You know the routine! Off I go to earn some pennies!! But, truly, I am thankful that I have a job!
    For Pete's sake, you're not terminating a pregnancy, you're just typing a report after the
    It's already been done before you even hear about it, and NOTHING changes regardless of whether you or someone else types it. Sheesh.

    Not what I meant . .
    If the person doesn't get the item for some reason, I have always refunded. I think people who are scamming are people who take it and run. I have always refunded.
    I think you meant
    some positive things. I agree with you, but sometimes people just need to vent and this is a good place to do it.

    Have a great Friday everyone.
    I meant put not up .
     
    No, that is what I meant. thanks
