You couldn't be more wrong. Here is the worst thing about posting on a forum...SM

Posted By: Misunderstood on 2007-11-22
In Reply to: SM - You are some piece of work.

All too often, I have a difficult time expressing myself here because I'm posting quickly in between typing reports. It can truly be difficult if not impossible at times to express yourself when all you have is text. Many times (for me anyway) what I write is taken out of context and misconstrued because on a forum you don't have the benefits of tone of voice, facial expression, and/or body language. That is what has happened here.

If you had the opportunity to meet me, my daughter, and husband, I have no doubt that you would take back such a presumptuous insult.

When I used the word "fear" the meaning I had in mind apparently was not taken in the context it was meant to be. For example, if I don't meet TAT for my supervisor, I would have a fear of being reprimanded, losing my account, etc. Another example: My husband was just promoted to a QA manager over a department of 12. His biggest fear is being late because he no longer has 1/2 hour flex-time to start.

Trust me, my daughter is a very secure, outgoing, happy, content child. Very, very rarely do we even have to raise our voice at her. She's never been grounded and is an honor roll student. She is very responsible and obeys out of love. Her biggest "fear" is knowing she has hurt or disappointed us. Maybe anxious would be the more appropriate word.

When I first posted about some children having to be scared into obedience, from what I have witnessed this is true. Time out doesn't work on every child. My sister has the absolute two worst children I know. She has tried every avenue of discipline and the only way to get their attention is to threaten them with a spanking. So can we agree in this context that the "fear" of a spanking is ultimately what makes them behave??

I'm a wonderful mother and my daughter and I have a very strong bond.

Hopefully I have gotten my point across and CPS won't be stopping in.

I couldn't agree with you more, they are the worst! nm

Yes, they own the forum you are posting on.
Look way down at the bottom of the page.
Fantasia wrong??? Haven't seen the OP's CD, couldn't have been too wrong.

Have you tried posting on the Instant Text forum? sm
Go to their website. They have a forum for problem solving. They seem to be real helpful.
Re: anon posting - here on an open forum it's (sm)
pretty much a "must". And a while back, someone started an online petition about personal information in healthcare records, and even when I sent it to people who were NOT in the healthcare industry, they were afraid to put their actual names out on the internet, and so many of the signatures were "anonymous". Totally WORTHLESS.

Here's one way it might be done: Once a consensus has been reached about an effectively-written form letter, it can be posted so it can be downloaded. The recipient could sign it and send it themselves, and/or send it to one person on the board (who is NOT management, and deemed to be trustworthy, of course) to collect. Or, instead of a long form, letter, it could be a short blurb about "agreeing with and supporting" the letter that has been chosen, and that short form can be affixed to a longer petition.

Anyway, now that I'm confusing even myself, what I mean is, there should be a way so that the "keeper of the petition" has actual, original, handwritten names, not just typed or copied.

Another thing: Many MTs seem to feel that if they supported a national "outing" of what really goes on in this industry, that they could lose their jobs. Maybe there needs to be some sort of a consensus that if anyone who signs loses their job, then we ALL go on strike until that person is reinstated. Food for thought, anyway.
Consider that this is a discussion forum and not a job. Posting doesn't have to be perfect.

Sorry - posted on wrong forum -nm

You couldn't be more wrong!
Only one poster here, DP, and that's all!!!

I'm not harassing anyone. I'm responding to the posts I'm sick of seeing. They have a right to complain...and so do I. Their complaints are about MQ; mine are about the whiners complaining about MQ. My right as well.

Good for you, if you're happy and a good producer!

I'm not pathetic. I'm tired of hearing it.

What's funny is that you think you know something about ME! You couldn't be more wrong!!!

How funny is that?!! Ask Admin to verify if my IP address is different from "No Whining"!!! ASK!! They'll verify that! I'm NOT the same person at all.

So, in answer to your question, I'll still be DP tomorrow too!! I'll make just as much money, as well.

:) Enjoy yourself!
You couldn't be more wrong about Dano and I ...
we are indeed 2 different people. I have never met her, have no idea who she is whatsoever.

I was taking a light-hearted approach to all the childishness displayed on this board.

I was addressing Dano. Practice your coloring. School starts back very shortly. Make sure you stay within the lines.

Hahaha
OMG at first I thought I had the wrong site. I couldn't believe that's what you were talking
Do you get cramps at all from holding it? The reason I ask is because I used to from holding game controllers. Are you basically using the same fingers to keys as with a conventional keyboard? I bet that felt odd the first time you held it! Thanks for sharing. I'll definitely look into for the mouse benefit alone. Reaching for the mouse KILLS my shoulder.

Thanks again!
This is the worst thing you can do, next to bankruptcy...

Any accounts included in a consumer credit counseling plan will show as "closed by creditor" on your credit report and will really pull down your FICO score.  Also, CC companies normally will not lower your interest rate unless you are at least 90 days delinquent.  They will then because at 90 days you are close to a charge-off. If you go 90 days delinquent, of course you have just damaged your credit.


Occasionally, people with a top credit rating can negotiate a lower rate, but only if they have a relatively small balance and threaten to close the account.


YES YES ! Same exact thing. On the worst day you can't even

ask away, the worst thing that can happen...nm

the worst thing that ever happened at school was

when students in the girl's bathroom would get caught smoking cigarettes!


Same thing happened to me. The caller couldn't even tell

After being told by my supervisor that the possibility of me getting paid less money for doing the editing for voice recognition, I immediately brushed up my resume and headed out the door. 


 


Change is hard, it be the worst thing or an opportunity sm
It is all about attitude.

I have done a fair amount of switching in my time. I have one of my IC situations for 3 yrs, the other for 6 months. I am giving up on the 6-month arrangement for a full time, with benefits and using my favorite expander, actual job. This is all just in time for the new year and I am excited about it.

I won't lie to you, a new job with new software, new voices, new management, new people to work with, new specialties...it is stressful and there will be a learning curve. Sometimes the learning curve is too steep, the platform a dinosaur and all the voices seem to speak Greek and not Latin like they are supposed to, and you move on again. I am convinced the right fit exists for each of us.

You also need to know that most of the situations out there currently pay you about 2 weeks after you do the work, they do offer direct deposit and other nice things. Having not had a rubber check in the past 5 yrs, I can tell you it is nice not to worry about that either.

Best of luck to you. You are not alone, come back and tell us how you are getting on.
Thanks Darlene. I searched hi and lo all day and couldn't find a thing. nm
 
Why don't you do the adult thing and just BAN her from posting here instead of sm
doing through all of this drama and mess. It's getting old and I would think an owner of an MT board would be much more professional than this.

Posting it and having it be true are not the saame thing.

Yes, he possibly just said the wrong thing.

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. 
You not only posted on this forum, but another forum asking for
advice, not once, but at least twice, panic stricken.   If you didn't want the advice you shouldn't have asked and you surely shouldn't have come back her bashing people for their advice.  We are not medical professionals.  It could have just as easily been something serious and because of the lack of $$ you didn't go to the ER and you'd be singing a different song today. 
wrong, wrong, wrong. work is being outsourced because of $. period. not because of unqualified MTs
c
Not to flame but every day there's posting after posting about how awful MQ is

Why does anyone still work there?


I don't get it.



I typed a report on the wrong patient as the doc keyed in the wrong info, SM
He later said the correct patient's name and I SWEAR to this day I made the changes but somehow the report when through without the correct patient and changes made. I still remember that incident.
forum
People around the coast are being interviewed and are using the slogan from the civil war "the South will rise again" - ick.....that was a "Confederate" slogan....Just caught up.....
Forum only ...sorry
:-)
They don't ban you from 1 forum and not another!
Believe me, I know!! Probably just some temporary glitch in her settings. This sounds familiar, and I can't remember how someone said to fix it. But she wouldn't be able to post for help if she were banned!
Went on another MT forum (will not
name names) and saw work wanted postings for MTs in India.  Don't know how I feel about this.  All I do know is that I don't want my job outsourced like so many other jobs.  The other MT forum is supposedly not an Indian forum, but they seem to let the Indian MTs post on it.  I won't comment on there because I don't want to be called a bigot.  Just worried about my job is all.  Can't type for 2 cpl and buy groceries. 
because its an MT forum.
.
Which forum?
Under which forum do I post that I am looking for work?  .  I looked under "Job Seekers" but that doesn't seem to be the correct one, or am I misreading it?  Thanks.
why don't you go to the IT forum? sm
their tech support is fabulous and they usually respond same day. They have their own forum at http://textware.com/board/itmainforum/index.html

No need to just be frustrated... they will help you do something about it.
It's about morality - not censorship! Right is right and wrong is wrong!
nm
If you are familiar with this forum at all
then you should have enough insight to realize that posting such vague information without any shred of credibility will get you a less-than-desired response.

Either way, even if it IS true - what kind of friend shares such an important secret? What kind of employee leaks information?

Hope I'm asking in right forum. sm
How much would you charge for a "normal" report? Had a GYN doctor ask me that. She wanted a special rate for normal reports. I said that I would charge whatever the line count came up with. Sometimes they adjust their "normals" and add on, and then I would not consider it a normal. If they did not, what would you charge?

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Stay away from MQ forum! LOL...nm

on job search forum
There are usually companies on there begging for op notes people.
There is a forum for Pets under
If there is a board for a particular topic, the topic is supposed to be taken to that board. I will be emailing the Administrator.
The MT forum that went to a pay site has
weekly updates, at least they used to.  I haven't been to it since it became a pay site. 
Job listing on a different forum for
a very, very good hourly salary base, plus shift differential, etc.  I wonder why some places pay so well and others (especially working at home for a transcription service) seem so cheap.
Oh, get OVER it. This is an online forum,

There was an offshore forum before

Go to the IT main forum sm
it states there is a work around until the next revision comes out, right there under announcements.

Moderator, what's going on with this forum?
It's often down lately and I haven't been able to access it for a day or so. Just wondering what the problem is?
Ok which forum board did the ...sm
post go to about whether the illegals would leave with the state of the economy?  I have checked the Gab and the political.  What gives?  Did it just disappear?  Huh? 
Send her to the CS forum.
Before she signs up for the course, she can get a guest pass to view the forum. She can see what really happens after graduation. Many grads now are having a hard time finding a job. Some graduated last year and are still job hunting. Of those who do find jobs, many are working for 4-5 cpl, which there is no way you could make decent money at that rate.

I wonder what "graduates" told her they were making $60,000 a year. Probably affiliates looking to gain commision off selling the program.
That forum is too scattered &
I need things laid out in steps and explained to me like I am 2 LOL
This forum makes me HUNGRY!!
I wish I had some kind of rotating dinner thing where I visited a different one of you each night for dinner!!!

You all must be super cooks!
On another forum they were talking about the people
There are over 50,000 people packed in there.  If the structure holds, and that's a big if, the bottom level will flood.  The upper level is 35 feet high so all those people will have to be on one level.  The problem is magnified with 50,000+ people, the possibility of no electricity, no air conditioning, no food or water as the dome has not been designated as a diaster shelter previously.  It will basically become a giant indoor swimming pool isolated as an island.  It will be days before rescue can happen.  I shudder to think what they will find when this is all over.
Is there a new format on Forum Section

or am I the only one experiencing this....


about two or three days ago, I've noticed that when I go to the main board, other forum or topic options were not listed on the blue portion of the page, and it feels weird to go back to the home page every time I want to change topic/section.
