You have got to be kidding right!!?? That was the worst halftime show of all time! Never was a Stone
I am in the younger crowd - 34 years old, and would have appreciated Motown more than the Stones.

He looked older than dirt! I am a huge football fan, and the Janet Jackson malfunction was a better halftime show than the Stones. Sorry!
Janet's boob was a better halftime show than these old bags! nm

Yeah, the halftime show and the commercials this year
were just not up to the norm. Did everyone get local commercials during the 3rd quarter? We did and that's not usual either. Ah well, like with everything else, we look forward to next year anyway. Have a good one!
The worst? pretty wide claim.

I agree... I just found it funny on that account that the 3 worst where in the same field...nm

That's actually pretty funny, not for you though!
:)
What the heck is it? Pretty funny looking.
Do you talk to it? It might answer you with all of those teeth! LOL LOL!!
Those mug shots are pretty funny!

That's pretty funny because i feel sorry for you too. Sorry that you won't be in this career
because you have no clue!! For your information..i don't sit in the house alone..i actually go out and get drunk and have fun A LOT! The drinking part comes from dumb MTs i'm sure! You are very very sad person! Take a course in transcription or at least get yourself a text book. Learn how to do your job before you cut down someone elses!!
That was pretty funny! I get similar comments as well
and sometimes the surgeon is laughing all the way through his dictation. It is hiliarious and lifts me up. I start giggling myself while transcribing it. Of course, not always about "boobs", but funny mishaps.

To the post below, it is not inappropriate. We are all human!
that's pretty funny considering we don't even have our own identity code with IRS! nm

wisa-wersa pretty funny
Yes and Rs and Ls are difficult for Chinese and Koreans.  Koreans have trouble with that because although both sounds exist in their language, it depends on the position in the word and what sound follows it.  L and R are represented by the same letter. So they get all mixed up  ...  they often say lice for rice!
Worst types for me are oncology and ENT. Worst dialect
definitely Arabic, Indian, Pakistani.  No problem with Asian though.  Of course, warp speed, mush mouth American dictation can be the pits, also. 
If you can show proof you did this work for them, they then have to show they paid it in order
:+
I think I'm pretty bright and pretty good, too, but
I am not a CMT. I am a medical transcriptionist who enjoys her job very much (most days). I have chosen not to pursue certification simply because I cannot afford to do so. I believe the certification is a nice thing to have, but I don't believe it is necessary for employment or for excellence in my job. If you can afford it, go for it. If you can't, don't feel too bad. You can still take pride in and do a very good job without it.
love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
You're funny. Ignorant, but funny.
I don't live in NYC and I don't work out of NYC and I make wayyyyy more than $23 an hour, SandyGIRL.

I'm an employee at the largest national and I make anywhere from $58K to $64K a year.

You don't have to believe anyone but you show your ignorance by telling those of us who make that money that we're full of it.

Hahaha
Sorry, that was not an ASR funny, just a regular ole dictation funny. LOL! nm

My MIL is the worst one too.

Her husband ignores her and every night they spend the evening with her in the breezeway watching some movie from 1950 and him watching porno in the living room.  He makes perverted remarks at waitresses, comments about the physical attrributes of every woman he sees, has made their 30-year-old daughter's friends his "imaginary girlfriends" (has pictures of himself with just about all of them and even calls some of them "his girlfriend"). 


Needless to say his wife has no self esteem whatsoever after almost 40 years of this.


However, she puts up with it and never says a word to him about it.  Then the nastiness comes out in other ways.  She's passive aggressive, mean, angry, frustrated and takes it out on anyone she can, which is why I just keep my distance.


Miserable, dysfunctional people. 


MQ at its worst could never ever
match the underhanded and disgusting way MTs and Editor staff were/are treated at HIS.  Colleen is a disgrace and the company is up for sale.  Former managers and CEO are suing the place .. give you a clue?  Run as fast as you possibly can away from Toledo!!
here's worst!!

whatever the complaint is... the patient will undergo bypass surgery!!


What is the worst job U have ever had?
Mine was working at Wendy's - ARGH! I was always stuck on fries, and believe me when summer would hit that was NOT a good place to be - I used to come home dripping with sweat, smelling like french fries and burgers and my hair always looked severely deformed and greasy from those stupid caps we had to wear!  I never made the grade as an order-taker, I'm afraid. I used to HATE customers coming in cuz it just meant more work for meeee!
Worst job. sm
The very worst job I ever had was working in a crab processing plant. Yep, blue crabs.

Now, top that! LOL
Worst Job
Was this school in Texas? I worked for one like that and quit after a couple of months. They would enroll the students, get all of the government money they could and then these people couldn't get a job if they wanted one after graduation. It was hard to even get them internships. I think the school was probably bought out for the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium that is going in - at least it was in the vicinity of that area - you could see The BallPark at Arlington or whatever the name of it is now from the school.
I need a car in the worst way
Anyone know the best place to start? My 1995 Bonneville has almost died on me. The car is in great cosmetic shape, but the new tires, fixing a window that won't roll down and putting a new air compressor (I think) is gonna cost me more than I think the are is worth... so I'm car shopping. I'd like a Maxima, Accord or Camry(a couple to three years old) for a good price but not sure where to get the best deal. Anybody have any recommendations?
Worst Job
Worst job I've ever had was working for a private practice radiologist who was just plain mean and nasty.  In addition, he would have me put the new films on the board and clip the old films to the jacket but never even look at them.  I figure he was doing this as a protective measure in case he ever got into trouble, etc. that I could vouch for him that those films were made available to him.   And this guy was reading for a hospital who did gastric bypasses...reading serial chest films post-op!!  I was glad to be out of there.
Those seem like they would be the worst
Whenever I hear stories about abused kids on the news, it takes me DAYS to get them out of my mind and not to dream about it. Completely and utterly heartbreaking.
One of the worst
Look elsewhere, reach archives. 
The worst of the worst...sm

Horrible management, 90% ESLs with horrible sound quality, and recieved my last paycheck 3 weeks late with no response as to why.  They gave me gray hair.


One of my worst was

Best and Worst
Best thing - You can pretty much choose your own schedule.

Worst thing - You have to deal with taxes yourself (which really isn't all that bad if you know what you should be paying quarterly).
That is the worst!

Living in a state called "Vacationland," people think they can just show up, both unannounced and announced, and use our place as a free resort because "you just work from home, you don't have a set schedule...you can still hang out and play."  I don't say anything, because I'm not confrontational, and I live so far away from friends and family I truly do appreciate it when they drive all the way up to visit, but it's really not that easy to work around. 


 


Did you know that TW has the WORST
customer service of any other US company?  
Boy, I'm the worst...
On a (good) bad day, I go for a walk, preferably 3 miles. I call it my 30-minute Prozac.

Now, on a (bad) bad day, with a lot of PMS also in the mixture, I'll hit the peanut butter and chocolate. I also find myself yelling a lot.

On a really, really bad day - kids, school, husband, bills, people, job, PMS, I really get toxic. I go for the 6-pack of Samual Adams Light and a pack of cigarettes. Sit out on my porch and act like it's 1985 all over again. I know - I really need to work on my anger technique.
the best and the worst
I used to work at a hospital that at the end of the year had the transcriptionists vote on the 10 best and 10 worst dictators in their system. The 10 best got a bonus, and the 10 worst got a lesson in dictating! The docs really got into it, especially the ones who got the 10 best awards! It was the same ones usually and the other ones actually worked to get in there! And the bad ones, with one or two exceptions, actually didn't know they were bad and worked on trying to improve. It was great!
they never tell ya huh... it's the worst
The doctor I SEE uses this system of EMR, no dictation necessary... and I believe the hospital I work for is looking into it, although we aren't told straight up either. It's frustrating. Should I be looking for another job or not?! I think it's only fair especially when MT is going downhill anyway. The people that absolutely love their job (I DO) but the ones that hate the complaining on this board dont see this big picture. It's not just outsourcing that's taking away our jobs...

I personally don't see how the medical record can be completed if not dictated, but that's just me....
What a funny, funny reply. LOL
You are a genius! I am sorry you are ugly and fat. I feel bad for you, but what I can I do to help? Go to a plastic surgeon.
now that's funny, true, but very funny
Anal Association of Medical Treachery.
Softscript is the worst there is
I really had to laugh when I saw this. If you want to continue working for the worst transcription (and I use the term loosely) in the business, stay with SS.  HORRIBLE doesn't even scratch the surface.  Look at all the posts to yours - do you see anything positive?  Didn't think so.  Do yourself a favor and take these honest comments to heart. Get out of there as soon as you can and save yourself the "experiences" we've all had.
AT&T is the worst service, but what else do you
expect. It is all handled by those dumb east indians that think they have everyone fooled by making up American names.
Worst for me is anything with Musk in it. It
just starts me off. I have asthma and now lots of things that set that off and my migraines. The barometer only has to be a little abnormal for me to start getting a migraine. However, smells do the same thing though so far I have been lucky and can abort them taking Excedrin Migraine.
One of many worst jobs - !
- was a temp. job at an office where I was filling in for a lady on vacation. But the boss liked me because I could spell, and wanted to hire me in her place, and I guess fire her. (But I already knew I wanted to stay temporary, so I turned it down). Good thing, 'cuz somehow it leaked out to the other people there that I might get hired in place of the original lady. Everyone ate lunch at the same time, in the same lunchroom. Every day when I walked into the lunchroom, all talking would CEASE, and everyone would just stare at me. If looks could've killed, I'd be dead. It really sucked.
Rachel Ray is the worst!
I am ashamed to admit I end up with her on at least twice a week. She always says "You know me". I don't know why that drives me nuts !?!? Just does.
The worst report I ever did was
some years ago, when I worked part-time in an AIDS clinic. The doc started dictating on a former co-worker/friend of mine. Of course, I couldn't say anything, but it was a heartbreaking experience.
And the worst part about it is
I have never had an ESL doc that I can remeber that has said 'thank you'.  I mean they have to realize that it is difficult for us to understand...but they just don't care.  A little thank you every now and then would be nice.  Earlier today I was smiling because of the posts down below about thank yous...if they could just manage that it would make it just a little better.
oh.despise DPM also!!!worst of all.nm

In the Kitchen and it is the worst but

I purchased a pair of those earmuffs that people use at the shooting range and although I have received many laughs, these are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I use the little earbuds for headphones and the earmuffs on top and get some peace and quiet.  I also put them on when I do not want to be bothered.  I have in-laws over a lot to help with my 4 year old and we live in an apartment so these earmuffs are literally the best thing to happen to my work.  I work a lot of nights and would just keep my husband up if it were in the bedroom.  I really don't think I would want the computer screen staring at me while I am trying to sleep anyway.


The worst one I had was an OB report...
with the diagnosis of fetal demise.  I was almost bawling!  The doctor even seemed to be having trouble dictating.
Softscript is the WORST!
They do lie, they lie a LOT. They are real great about NOT getting back to you if you have a problem, or blaming any problem you have on your computer. That is another thing, you have to use your own personal computer, and then their techs get in there and screw around with things to set up your system to suit THEIR software, and I have had programs deleted by them without my permission. They treat it like it is their property and not yours. Never again will I work for them or any place that makes you use your own computer. You cannot get a straight answer on line counts, if you lose a job in the upload (which happens very frequently, a LOT of server errors) they tell you it will show up in the next check, but you never know if it did or not. Their follow up is crap, and they are management heavy and still can't run the company worth anything. Plus, the absolutely bitchy e-mails, cripes...better to leave these pukes in the dust and go elsewhere. And I KNOW what I'm talking about, I worked there for 3 years!
Yep, ER reports are the worst. nm
