    People didn't respond negatively to you here. Don't take it out on the folks here. nm

    Maybe they didn't here real good.
    xx
    LOL! Didn't realize that. She is a real
    Isn't she?
    Listen Mrs. Frank MQ. Just because Frank gave all his MTs a chapstick doesn't mean

    he loves you less.  You have to learn to share such a charismatic dude as Frank.  There is enough Frank for all of us.  Now go wipe your eyes and get your chapstick and be ready for Frank when he finally gets home.  He has worked hard today looking for Christmas presents for MTs to top the chapsticks and that's not easy. 


     


    PS:  I hear he got us nail files to keep us MTs prettied up.  How cool is that?  Maybe you could help him get that MQ emblem on the files for that personal touch. 


    I went to MQ web site where Frank is now answering questions. Looks like Frank
    is running behind on his questions because they are last dated May 11.  Maybe he is in Hawaii?  
    Frank still loves the ranks even if you are rankled by Frank.
    Frank cares.  Didn't you get your chapstick?  He doesn't want you to get chapped lips.  Now that beats a raise doesn't it.  Money is so impersonal.  MQ chapsticks mean so much more.  Lots of thought went into bypassing raises and just mailing those chapsticks that are clever enough to fit on a keychain that Frank including.  That's big!
    frank has needs just as we do. if frank needs a personal touch, i'm there for him.
    just say the word.  frank has so many stressors perhaps that extra personal touch will enable him to clear his mind and understand the mts who just want to help him.  frank, we are here for you dude.  just say the word.
    so what becomes of frank? who will we go to with our questions? i have bonded with frank.
    will you be keeping him on? can we ask you our deepest personal questions like we did with frank?
    There is only ONE frank in the MT world. Frank (Mr. MQ) whatever his last name is.
    We love you Frank! We miss you!
    OKAY! I need a vacation. Frank and fans of Frank/MQ who won the Hawaiian vacation?
    Does anyone know? 
    Cook it real slow at real low heat; simmer, don't boil.

    How did you respond to that
    utterly ridiculous comment by a very, very stooopid, stoooopid person posing as a recruiter (or owner, whatever)? 
    I was trying to respond to both you and the poster

    " a good MT should be confident enough with her knowledge and skills to not want or need anyone's pat on the back.  If you can't do a good job without a baby sitter, perhaps you should consider another line of work."


    Its a bit silly to judge someone's work based on the fact they just want a little interaction with their supervisor, i've been doing this long enough, and just saying I know my stuff.  One does not have to do with the other!  You guys go far in left field for an insult.


    Absolutely would rather respond to
    than a company that did not.  I don't want to waste my time.  I applied at 2 in the past and after going through the hiring process, did not offer me what I wanted as they said they could not afford to pay that much and only paid a certain CPL.   Wasted my time. I will not apply now unless I know before what they will pay.
    Will normally only respond to the ones that post pay
    The hiring process can be so lengthy.  I am not going to go through all of that (submitting application/resume, testing, interview, and sometimes verbal testing and phone interview) only to find out in the end they aren't going to offer me the money that I'm looking for.  I want to know what they are offering up front so I don't waste my time and they don't waste theirs.
    okay, I tried but I couldn't help myself, I have to respond
    let me get this straight - you spent 5 years in college, are an engineer and because you can type fast you want to get into a field where you might make 20,000 the first year - but it is rather laughable that you think typing is all that is required here - when most of us who have been doing this for 20-30 years are doing good to make 30-40,000 a year and are afraid that we won't be needed much longer because of computer (as an engineer you surely are familiar with them) technologies such as speech recognition and offshoring to India where the work is cheaper.  Now after you finish training - which you will need - a lot of us will already be out of jobs - do you really think this is a viable option for you?
    Thanks to all who took the time to respond!

    I agree that one can do great things with virtually any expander--even with just casual use it pays for itself within weeks.  I am at the point of relying heavily on SH8 due to arthritis (400% productivity gain, heavily nested WordVBA macros, etc.) and am always eager to learn about other programs, but $150 and no free trial is a hard way to learn.  Anyone know if InstanText can handle "code" (like WordVBA macros) in the Expanders like SH8 can?  Again, thank you all for your thoughtful responses. 


    Yes it goes to the company. If you respond to
    any post the e-mail address is hidden. 
    Did anything become of that meeting? How did they respond to you?nm

    I don't respond negatively to someone asking for help . . .
    whether they are asking for something that would be incredibly hard (i.e. finding a job where you could work between diaper changes, naps, etc.). However, he could find something that has a split shift or like a 10 hour window to get 8 hours of work in. There are options out there.

    In regards to someone posting about wanting to work around their child's schedule? I would respond the same way. I would try and help.
    that was going to be 'question them up-front' and see how they respond..(nm)
    xx
    Well duh, to see people respond, wouldn't you think? nm x
    x
    Yes, I tend to only respond to ads that list how

    I do not respond if it says competitive salary.sm
    That to me means 6 to 8 cpl. The company I work for now had no pay range listed, but said excellent salary. Turned out it was. Paid by the minute now and making much more than I was by 65 character line.
    Just delete them, never respond. Its a scam. nm

    I am not the above person , but thought I would respond -sm
    Word is Microsoft Word, there are different versions out there. Since your computer has Windows 98 on it (you don't have to look for it, if you computer turns on and boots up, at some point Windows __ will come up whether is is 98, 2000, XP)-- you can probably only use Word 97 or 2000. The other versions won't work on Windows 98 I think. As for installing it, you can do it. It is very simple, the CD (I hope you have a CD drive) will walk you through the whole installation process. Just to a "typical" install and you will be fine. You may have it on your computer already of course, it generally came on most computers. If not Word you may have Works, which I think will work too, just need to save the files as "documents" with the .doc suffix. -----------As for gross lines, that is just a method of counting lines, a "line" is any line in the document with anything on it, one word or 20 words, would be considered 1 line. So it can be a nice way to get paid, if the doctor just does not do blocks/paragraphs. Some people even charge for the blank lines but I think that is going too far personally. But if the margins are wide (1"), and the type is small, i.e. less than 12 point, then its not so hot. So if is 12 point type and not blocks of paragraphs, a sample would help you figure it out, then I would just at .13 a gross line. Good luck.
    Now just try getting someone to respond to your resume and want to test you...nm

    Again, thank you so much for taking the time to respond..sm
    I thought I was on the right track, but I've only been an IC for five years and have never had my own accounts. I passed on your opinions to my MIL and hope she will listen. I'm leaving to go to California in a couple hours and there is no way I can do it personally, so I hope and pray she does. We really need the account.
    can't respond because mailbox is full

    what part of please do not respond to that perp

    did you not understand...if you respond - you feed the troll - as you can see I reported all posts and 90% of his have been removed....



    How do I respond to ads on the job seekers board?
    This might seem like a silly question but do I just send my resume using the 'apply now' button or can I and should I also send a cover letter with it?   Does it need to be in plain text?  Thanks
    Anyone know why an HP all-in-one printer would would intermittently not respond? sm
    Only about 1-1/2 years old.  No new software installed on computer.  Should I uninstall and then reinstall?  I can't track any certain document/reason why it does not respond.  Thanks.

    Hey!  I dont work for MQ and I dont' know Frank...I feel like I'm missing out on something big!
    Well Frank cannot help
    he just does not care. Nobody does. He is raking in the $$$$$. He does not respond to the e-mails, so what is the point. What a way to run the company. So sorry that we are boring you with our MQ issues. You obviously do not work for them.
    To Frank
    My experience was great too for several years....then one day.....POOOOF.   Hard to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear...uh, that's hard to make any money with no work.
    To Frank
    I did just that, figured it out and rectified the situation.
    Why it's the poster you like the Amen! posts you respond with.
    Why not admonish this poster for "negativity"?   I'm bored with your game now.  You have lost all hope of following a train of thought, yours or mine.  Besides, I think you have multiple personality disorder.  Not that I know that but I suspect that.  I'm going back to work to let you and all the MQr, MQMT and MQga?? battle your private battles that have somehow become public because you have delusions of grandeur.
    I would rather not respond to your questions, as your tone seems a little angry

    On this format, no need to specify to whom you respond, as the setup shows you. nm

    Let's do a poll, would you respond to help wanted ad that listed pay
    more than you would an ad that did not list pay range?  I am finding myself only responding to ads that have a pay range listed.  Does anybody else do this?  Maybe if those companies out there that needed MTs badly listed pay range then they would get more of a response!

    Is anyone going to respond to this Dr. Ahmed? I am kind of afraid to. Do not know who to believe.
    NM
    I have one available. Respond to email address if interested.
    Thank you
    Thanks for taking the time to respond nicely...sm
    and to give me the good info. There are so many sour people on this board who it seems don't care about helping any fellow MTs.
    ohoh-should I know who Frank is? nm
    nm
    Frank's website
    How do you get to Frank's website?  I need to tell him some stuff.
    What is up with you? Are you related to Frank?

    Frank knows that.  What a sourpus.


    Okay, if no one answers I will ask Frank.
