This wasn't a thread about Cruise's opinion which

In Reply to: War of the Worlds -- You gotta see it!! - Fan - not of Cruise but of the movie

some of you think he doesn't have the right to have.  I don't care HOW ridiculous it is, it is HIS opinion...just the same as we all have ours that he's nuts. LOL


Yes, I think he's really gone out there making the ridiculous claims he has...but, it is his right to think the way he does.  Just as you have the right to think differently.


Doesn't change the fact that he is a fabulous actor and a box office sure bet. 


I don't subscribe to his perspective on PPD or drug therapy or psychiatry at all.  I'm sure he doesn't subscribe to my perspective on sitting at the computer all day to type out reports about other people just to make a few bucks. 


Now, there are people in this world sadly enough who will not seek help because of what he said and for those people I am truly sad for.  Those tend to be the same people who VOTE according to what their favorite celebrity says as well.  LOL


I believe in complete autonomy so if these people must mess up their lives because they have the right to - then let them. 


I won't boycott anyone because I differ in their opinion about treating problems.  He's not a criminal; he's not a child molester; he's not a sexual offender; he's not a thief; he's not a tax evader; he's not .. he's not any of the things that I feel I SHOULD make a boycott about it. 


The movie was fantastic.  You're missing out but, hey, that's your right!!  LOL 


Enjoy your evening!

No, it wasnt Toth.
Thanks! Have a good day!
no where did I say it wasnt work?
I only said you are not typing the lines that you should be paid BY THE HOUR and not by the line. That way, the more corrections you make the less you feel like "I'm not making any money today." Thus quality is going to be much better because the MT is not going to worry about going as fast as they can to make money and will take time out to make the corrections needed.

There should be a requirement of lines, but not PAID per line.
k, that is your opinion, i stated mine. poor quality in my opinion shows bad work ethics if they do

Sorry. I wasnt arguing with you. Im just generally
it just gets me p1ssed off, and then i start ranting!
I honestly wasnt meaning to be implying your sil was gay.. I just

If offshore wasnt paid less, US MTs wouldnt

I agree. I would be long gone if I wasnt the age I am and am actually phasing out anyway.
:
That wasnt very helpful..she is confused by verb, noun, and adj. as far as how to tell
which is which. I think the "a" in front is more helpful.
Wasnt you worried that some weirdo might come back in while you werent there to monitor it? sm
It just worries me that after we get everything set up will some weirdo go in and look around, get info off of your accounts, or go look at icky stuff on the web using your computer? My husband says his tech guys at his work said there is no reason why a tech person cant "fix" your problem by walking you through it. They say there is never ever a reason to authorize someone you dont know access to your computer. I am so confused! Really want this job, but dont want to risk my computer being an open door either.
Wasnt that a rip. They must have called every person on every account to work. I cant possibly
figure that mentality. PLUS we get nothing extra for weekends, nothing extra for  holidays ZIP. They overload the accounts and so we have no work. Why would they pay weekends or holidays when they play this game. Somebody is pocketing something but it AINT THE MTs. I hope every MT in that office inundates Mt. Laurel with complaints until they replaced the people that did this and not to mention their STUPID STUPID PICKY MQ point plan. That is a horrendous joke. Somebody up there needs to be removed and quickly.
So you have also noticed the light and dark shades in text. I wasnt aware that it was like this when
I bought it. Is there anything to make this better at all. I just bought this whole computer system with LCD screen and I guess I will call them and see what can be done or just get used to it. I like it but not so much having the text look like that. Have you spoken to anyone about yours.
Wasnt' that post scary? Isn't it UNREAL?? Who cares if we type drugs wrong, right?
I could go on and on about the STUPID mistakes MTs make - perfect dictators - just stupid lazy mistakes - wrong drugs and meds entirely - happens all the time. Forget dosages.  If doctors had to rely on this typed garbaged (used typed intentionally - transcribed doesn't fit), they'd kill most of us as patients.  And some MTs have an attitude about it? So frightening. But lets' give 'em bonuses and incentives to GET IT RIGHT!
My post disappeared. I wasnt being disrespectful with the TV just tired and didnt proof before subm
Sorry if I offended anyone when I saw it I had a good laugh with everyone else but still thought there was good advice in the post but I guess not -- my apologies if I offended and will watch my ShortHand lol.
Actually there is another thread that says
the same thing - "off subject" and I have seen that several times before, so that's why I asked.  Wasn't faulting you or anyone else at all.  Thank you for explaining that you mean it's not anything to do with transcription.  Heck, we get tired of talking about transcription anyway!  Nice to be "off topic"!
this should be a fun thread

What is the shortest time you have worked for an MT company and why did you leave? I have found that I can predict the first day if the company is going to work out for me. Other experiences?


 


I saw most of that thread was gone...
so how was the chocolate frosting or did you resist it?  LOL!   Been there done that!
see thread below
There is thread below about halfway down the page that started yesterday about this. I think the simple answer is we don't know yet what it means for our jobs. It's rather vague. Now, I would like to say that it is just about getting records digital and away from paper and that's it, but Obama is saying that it will save billions every year. The only way I can see that happening is by jobs being cut and I can't imagine all of them coming from record clerks who file the paper records. On the other hand he says it will create thousands of jobs, but it seems from what I have read that he is referring to computer people creating and managing the electronic records because it has been said that there aren't enough skilled people right now to handle it.
Probably goes with the thread below. nm

yes, this thread has gotten way off track

Now that certainly followed the thread! Bravo! Thanks for
that totally coherent thought.  When there is a thread on make up or hair color, do you post on the the War in Iraq? Probably! Perhaps the OP (original poster) who asked about working at home with a newborn had something to do with the topic being babies and...working at home! Imagine that!  Pardon us all for staying on topic.
since the thread is here.. grout? Have tried
iloveyouifyouknow
You obviously did not read the thread from below
I was not complaining about MQ.  I was complaining about the person who says that anyone who posts anything about MQ is whining.  All I said was that this is the forum for us to talk about any problems we may be encountering, or to share tips, or give news, etc.  I just don't think it is fair that every time someone has something to say that isn't absolutely pro-MQ, they are accused of whining.  I am tired of trying to defend MQ MTs who let these assinine people insult their intelligence and then attack the person who is trying to defend their right to say anything they want on this board.  If you want to flame me, go ahead, I know that I had no malintent and I also know I have broad shoulders.
I posted this thread. (sm)
My thread isn't putting anyone down. I asked a question. If Dano or anyone else doesn't like it or doesn't want to answer, DON'T.

I have my reasons for asking the question. If others get their feelings hurt because someone has a degree or education, too bad for them. I'm not walking on eggshells because of their fractured inferiority complex. I'm not attacking them. I haven't belittled them over their lack of education; if they don't want an education that is their business.

I'm "superior feeling" because I want to know who has achieved higher levels of education.

Go away.
I think RadGuy DID see that thread.
He usually posts everyday but hasn't since before yesterday, so thanks for running off a good guy and one of the bright spots on an otherwise gloomy board of complainers. Do you feel better?
This is an EXCELLENT thread--thanks! nm

you don't, but you can start a new thread and
for others to reference.
This thread does not include the other 90% of us

who struggle with bad dictators to make $300 a week.



Acne - I know this thread is old, but
I found article on a dermatology site I was looking at. It's on a product that I think has been around for several years, was it Differin? Something like that. This study finds that those who use it in combination with any other acne treatment get better results (don't have my drug book with me to check the spelling).

and really, if this thread continues....sm
We should be taking this to the Medquist board/forum here and not on the Main Board where we currently are.....
Sorry - should have been posted under thread below. nm

You know this thread only perpetuates
the picture of southerns being backwards. I could not have come from any more southern roots; however I really wish others who have never visited do know we wear shoes, we can carry on a decent conversation, we have upscale neighborhoods (my hubby and I live where judges and physicians live along side among others) and never lived out of the south and never would want to. Believe it or not, the race relations here are very, very good and I would say probably better than other areas in the states. My home is in a community that has a mixture of blacks, whites, Asians, you name it we have it and such a quiet, peaceful place.
As a total aside to this thread here...

about dentists in Maine...I haven't been to a dentist since I was a kid, strictly out of fear factor.  I tried to find one yesterday because I think it's time I see someone whether I like it or not.  Of the 4 I could find, only 1 is accepting new patient's and where I don't have insurance and would be be a self-pay, they don't cut any breaks....just the initial visit and cleaning is going to run $310 buckaroos!  I asked if that price included a happy ending and the voice on the other end just went dead.  (No sense of humor apparently.)


No wonder why people are losing their teef up heyah!  


See thread below...nobody has heard of them...
and nobody can find anything for them on the internet. Look down the page for more info.
This is a WONDERFUL thread, and everything you all are saying...

is right on point and reflective of what I've been saying for years.  It seems that most of the top higher ups in this industry don't HAVE A CLUE about our work process and are only about how much they can use us to line their own pockets while taking as much out of ours as they can. 


In a perfect world we could earmark three days where NOT AN MT IN THIS INDUSTRY would generate a single line.  I'm sure THEN that those who think that they know would find out that they don't have a clue. 


But then, too, it's not a perfect world ...


Well, the whole thread disappeared...
Dontcha love it (not).
There is another thread on the board...
about this somewhere.  The people discussing it there said that the boss was very full of herself.  One of them even got hired, but she was just very difficult to work with--pushy and rude, etc.  Maybe that is where the line in the ad "Someone who is easy to work with" comes from.  That's a two way street.  Anyway, I work ophthalmology, but not for three years.  I would say those who have specialized in such a specialization would be few and far between and those who have would be making more than .07 cpl. 
Well there is already a huge thread...
Why keep it going and going?  If you all are just now realizing that AHDI is against the MT, then have you had your head in the sand the past few years or what?  Get a grip!  Life is what you make it!  This OP obviously wants to keep bringing it up and bringing it up blocking the entire board with this crap.
Look at thread below. Many sites given.
