Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to

do what is right.  If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child.  "you suck"  That is so immature.


She is responding to you and you are eating her alive.  Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it. 


I am really astonished at how people can act on here.  Would you treat people like this in person?  If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends. 


Remember we are all "HUMAN." 


 


Give MQ a chance...
Isn't it just possible that after all is said and done, and after all the changes, MQ may very well be a much better company to work for? Perhaps closing all these millions of branches (and the wildly different management styles, i.e. Columbus versus Amherst) will result in a more streamlined, consistent company where there is consistency across the board? Trimming the fat can be a good thing, U know. Personally I think Amherst is on borrowed time - a soon-to-be relic of the bad old days when nothing was done the same way from branch to branch. After all the dust settles, MQ just MIGHT be an excellent place to work again - but at least we should hear them out and give them the chance to prove it. Just my 2.5 cents...
Give the kid a chance....

she has to start somewhere. If you are as good as you say then you will be an excellent trainer for her and will be rewarded for teaching her the ropes. IMHO you sound kind of threatened by this and I have to wonder why. Be nice and help her along in becoming great transcriptionist.


All he was saying was Give Peace A Chance...nm
:)
All we are saying is give peace a chance.

That's good to hear. Maybe I should give it a chance and see if I like it.

Give the SH people a chance to fix it before you spend more money.
:P
No set hours, no min/max amount of work, and give us newbies a chance.

Well you gave her a fair chance, asked her to stop. It's a shame she didn't take the chance. n

Survivor.
Lovin reality.
Survivor, anyone?
Has anyone been following Survivor Exile Island? What did you think of Shane getting voted off? I was so shocked - he was absolutely convinced he was going all the way to the final two. I hope Terry keeps winning immunity - he is such an awesome dude!
Survivor, anyone?
I was SOOOOO glad to see Shane go! He was so annoying to me!! I'm glad he got to see his son and share some of the experience with him though, I'm not that cold hearted. I don't want Aras to win because I can't stand him either!!! I'd like to see Cirie or Terry win, only because they played the game so well.

HI,


I was diagnosed in January 2006 and underwent a right lumpectomy and lymph node dissection, I had my chemo and radiation.  I'm just finishing up with my Herceptin, my last dose will be the end of May.  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.  It's not easy but I was back to work in a couple of weeks.  At that time I lived in California and had to fight for disability.  Hopefully you don't live there, and go through what I did...  Also, check out with the Cancer Society regarding support groups in your area, they were a great help.  My prayers are with you.  If you want I can keep in touch and help out as much as I can. 


You are a survivor. My hat is off to you (along with a bow).

Survivor
I agree with Winnie.  Keep it simple.  I was diagnosed with breast cancer 14 years ago tomorrow.  I didn't have my mastectomy until 7 years ago and I had it done prophylactically.  I had a drainage tube when I got home from the hospital and they gave me a surgical bra to wear.  I wore very loose fitting P.J.'s. 
Speaking of Survivor.
Anyone every applied before or know someone who has, my Niece is trying to get on and is going for an open audition this coming Friday, any advice?
survivor tie breaker

At tribal counsel, Aras had immunity from winning the immunity challenge and Terry wouldnt give up his immunity idol, so it was a tie - Danielle had 2 votes, Cirie had 2 votes. 


The tiebreaker will be to see who gets a fire started the fastest to burn through a rope and raise their flag  and that's how it ended - I think you may be right too, but I hope not


I am a PPD survivor and boycott Cruise nm

Survivor Guatemala wimps...
Anyone notice last week on Survivor Guatemala how all the men became sick and puked, lyinig lifeless on the beach while the women seemed just fine, taking care of the MEN! As a man I wuz quite disgusted with my fellow dudes - quite a blow to the "male ego" I must say. Remember guys - we're the STRONGER sex!!! ACT like it!
thanks for sharing a survivor story sm
I had my colorectal cancer surgery 9 weeks ago - stage III as well. Going through chemo right now followed by radiation/chemo followed by chemo alone. Nice to hear that someone else in the same boat made it through to the other shore. BTW, I am *only* 44, good shape, nonsmoker, exercise and eat healthy, yada yada. Burns me every time I read how colorectal cancer is preventable. I did everything right and still got it...guess I'm *special*.
I am a Survivor fan and did watch it last week. The guys

most definitely carried huge loads in order to take everything with them and ended up paying a huge price.  Hopefully they all start drinking more water ... I think they are a great group and I want to see everyone able to compete.


Tonight should be good!


oops - Johnny Fairplay was ON SURVIVOR...sm

CYBERSLAPS MYSELF!!!   THWACK!!!  *lol*


 


On Survivor, they eat rice or corn for days or weeks. They win a reward and eat pizza, greasy

The girl was 13, the rapist a distant relative they took in. Give money, give food and your time, b
you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.

there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
You are probably right. If I were looking for a job, I would not take the chance with this one. nm

Is your dad by any chance (sm)
a less than happy camper when he wakes up in the morning? Maybe moving a little too fast in the morning? Maybe Snoopy is avoiding dad when dad's adrenaline is pumping, but doesn't see a problem when dad is kicked back and relaxed.
Then there's the off chance that...
The person who posted wasn't "Joan Berre," but was trying to potentially cause trouble for her. I would hate to think that anyone would do that, but it's possible.
I have a chance (m)
to go to work in-house for $17/hour. The problem is it's a 2 hour drive each way for me. I have a car that gets great gas mileage. Would you do it?
By any chance was it... (sm)
Proficient Transcription? There have been numerous complaints about this so-called company. They may be under a different name by now but the owner's name was Donna. She had people give her money to buy equipment they could buy themselves and then would give them next to nothing in terms of work and then not pay for what they did. Just curious if this was the same.
IMO...not a chance. No way, no how.
I beat VR with my own standards and templates, but it's still nowhere near that. On the most excellent of days with the perfect dictators and best templates I can get 550/hour. But again..that's a lot of template/expander help.
Not a chance....
Especially if termination was through no fault of your own, and was due to their own internal structuring.

Make their loss, your gain, and don't look back.

You can do better.
By chance is this MT Daily?
.
Any chance it is something along the line of... sm
glioependymal cyst, meningeal cyst,
Are you by any chance from Alaska?

Or do you mean just because it gets dark early because of the time change.  I've heard of people in Alaska with the night being so long using that light for depression, but that's really the only time I've heard of it.


That is good. I would never take a chance sm
with my pets.  Cats are felines.  Dogs are canines.  Two different species.  What works on one "could" kill the other in some instances.  Just check pet poison control centers.   Maybe same chemicals in some instances, but different formulas entirely.   
I had a chance to sign up.
My ex-employer was into it.  There were some local people who did well with it and were in that upper group.  Also, I had the opportunity to check out some of the tapes without buying.  I still never found the money to get started.  Now I am glad I didn't. 
No. She had her chance and didn't win.
Now if she's unable to try out due to an injury, that's too bad. No one else would be given the luxury of not having to try out and still getting on the team. She already got to to go the Olympics, so give someone else a chance!
Do you by any chance use Benadryl or
anything containing diphenhydramine?  I don't have RLS, but when I use the above to help me sleep I have it really bad.  Just in case you do use it, I thought I'd let you know.  Good luck!
I agree with you. You only get one chance
to make a first impression. If 5 people come in for the job all w/the same credentials, I would pick the one w/the neatest appearance. At K-Mart he's probably going to doing something where customers can see him. I insist on my son wearing clean, pressed slacks or jeans and a shirt w/a collar.
If given the chance would you go hourly or ... sm
stay production if the pay per hour was around $15 with no opportunity to make more per hour or as an employee with incentive and all you were making a minimum of 9.5 cents per line?  Is it better to make a little less but know exactly what you are going to make each week or just go for the ability to make more and hope you are able to stay productive.  Thanks. 
I would jump at the chance....

Would you by chance work for
MD-IT
I speed them up every chance I get!

I have a chance to get an account but I need a VPN.
I googled and found some information and from what I understand it is very simple to setup and basically like setting up any connection to the internet.    Is it really that easy? 
I would have jumped at the chance.
20 minutes away? The last job where I actually was offered any training was 45 minutes away, but I went. Although meeting face to face is not necessary, I always enjoyed putting a face to a name/voice. I think, in this case, it was irresponsible of the MTs to blow this off. With my present job the MTSO came out and loaded the software on my computer and briefly showed me how to use it. I appreciated even that much. Most of the time ICs are expected to just be able to do it. I am an older MT with lots of experience, but I scramble for any technical experience/training I can get.
Are you talking VR by any chance?
If you are I have done the same group now for over 15 years, first straight and then VR. I do not see as to where there has been any change whatsoever in their speech, lack of, changing for the better and so on. I will say this, years ago in the 80s I worked at a hospital and did some outside work for a group of internists. One physician there was a horrible dictator; however 1 day he dictated in his office his own personal note to the bank regarding HIS money and it was unbelievably clear, no garbling, did not have to strain to hear him so they can do better, I know. Having said that, I have noticed no difference in their using a machine as to using the MTers- they basically just do not care (the majority, that is). What I hear on VR now is what I have heard for years and years, same ole.
No Admin here but think U should have chance

Our best chance at success would come from - sm
changes in how the US taxes all employers. Instead of rewarding them with a tax break for offshoring, there should be a HEFTY tax. They should pay for the 'privilege' of using cheap labor, not get rewarded for it. If something like could get passed in Congress, it would automatically include all MTSOs. Then things might change for the better for the average American worker.
Is this by any chance Pro-Type??sm
I think you should state the company name, this will save other MTs who are hired by these people a HUGE headache.  If someone does that to me, I make sure and post about them and their company on every MT board I can find.  Good luck.
