You shouldn't be ashamed..

Posted By: Lourdes on 2006-03-17
In Reply to: I'm a little ashamed to say....just I enjoy going to - Myrtle Beach....SM

So what if it's not the South of France.  As long as you had a good time and enjoyed yourself, that's what it's all about! 


I have done a lot of traveling, and I can tell you the best vacation that goes down in my memory book is going to Sanibel Island, Florida - surf fishing, catching fish - swimming in the ocean - and kicking back wtih my honey with a Mai Tai.  We sent out to dinner at lot at some really nice restaurants there, but the best was steaks on the grill the resort had available there and a great bottle of vino.


I hope you get to Myrtle Beach again and enjoy yourself.

Huh? and you're not ashamed
I have gotten nothing but leftover garbage today thanks to people who think like you. Have you ever heard of karma? Don't you think I have to earn a living too? I guess the difference is I don't believe in screwing over my fellow MTs to do it.
Do not ever be ashamed of who you are.
or where you live, what you drive, or any other outward trapping of society.

The only people who have cause to be ashamed are those who belittle others for whatever reason; they are bigots and all bigots require only that they can make themselves appear (to themselves and others like them) to be better than they are by tearing down the lives of others. Quality has nothing to do with outside show, it has only to do with inner worth.

Bigots will always be among us. Pity them, they will never understand what quality - "class" - really is. They know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
That's ashamed...
I know I have many clinics try to diddle me town line wise, but I just refuse to be their little slave girl. They either want a good job done or they don't, and if they want a good job done, they're going to pay for it, or they can go find some little mamma willing to do it for nine or ten cents a line and then sit there with the jaws hanging down to their fannies as they read their shotty transcripts.
Ashamed
I am so ashamed to have this MT be one of my colleagues, not that I work at the same company, but just that we are both MTs. You know life is too short to be doing a job that you do not enjoy. I completely agree with the poster who said that most of would just be happy to get a raise! I work for one small MTSO, and have 1 doctor, and doe not get paid very much. BUT, this dictator is the same every day and I have many shortcuts set up for this dictator and so I make a more than decent amount per hour. What I would not give to have the same dictator every day and get a raise! I am so sorry that this MT did this to you and to the owner of you company. Sometimes people are like children give them an inch and they will take a mile. I hope the owner of the company talks with this MT and backs you up. If she does not want her job I would be interested in finding out more about this having the same dictator every day and working for a company that gives raises!!
Don't be ashamed...

With kids it's hard to have a savings account.  It seems all my hubs and I do is work, work, and work and then when we do get a vacation, we tend to use what should be in savings for "fun money."  I'm sorry but life is way too short. 


I have a kid in braces and another one that wears glasses.  Copays just went up majorly.  We have Aetna, and there are deductibles out the ying-yang.  Hope and pray none of us are majorly ill, we'd be done for.


I could find a job very, very fast but I'd probably slave for minimum wage since experience doesn't count in this profession even though they claim you must have 1-3 years before they hire.  I have 19 and make the same as someone with 2 years of experience.  Go figure!! 


Thank goodness for my own accounts to stay afloat and thankfully I am here when the kids get home from school and can grocery shop when it's not busy.  I save money by not buying fancy clothes for work but do treat myself to the hair salon (need a little something once in a while).


Don't be ashamed; we have no savings either...  Oh well...  Hopefully, the kids will get scholarships for college and if not, then I guess we'll just finance that too or they'll have to work their through and appreciate it more in the long run if they have to earn it the hard way like I did.  No silver spoon here and no handouts either. 


We work hard.  No, we would not be hurting if we lost one paycheck, but 2 or 3, most definitely would leave us behind in our bills.


Ah, go ahead...don't be ashamed...

No one will laugh.  And, most likely no one will slam you for it either.  There are only a few really nasty, jealous people here.   



LOL!!!! I have no reason to be ashamed
There are consequences for every choice. Not preparing for the consequences of choices made and expecting to be bailed out of those consequences constitutes the typical welfare mentality. A choice to live in a disaster-prone area without making adequate preparations for disaster is a choice that will have predictable consequences. Those who embrace the welfare mentality immediately blame others for the consequences of their failure to plan ahead and demands that others bear the cost and the responsibility for salvaging them from the results of their own choices. The welfare mentality is not the exclusive province of welfare recipients. Trust me, I will never seek or expect help from you or anyone else. I would far rather rely on my own preparation and resources. Besides, whiners have nothing I need.
Whatever. Nothing to hurt and I'm not ashamed.
 
I'm a little ashamed to say....just I enjoy going to
I know this isn't as exciting as the other posters, but honestly...just going to the beach and relaxing is great for me!! :>
I'm sure your grandparents would be ashamed of you
maybe that's why you hate successful whites so much - you're jealous
sorry..ashamed to "say"...not same..duh lol
xx
I'm ashamed to say I don't know how to copy to a floppy. Can you
nm
No on is an idiot and you should be ashamed of yourself for calling anyone that. nm

My son did. I am ashamed to say that I didn't know how and I had to ask my teenager to do it.

1984. I was in 4th grade. I'm 32 and not ashamed to say!!
Good for you! Every vote counts!
Myrtle Beach! Nothing to be ashamed of! I would rather go there!!!nm

Sounds like you are depressed....Nothing to be ashamed about.
I recommend you talk to your physician and maybe get in some therapy sessions, not necessarily medication, but get to the root of how you can assess where you are overwhelmed and what steps you can take to take control. This site is actually a great site, on occasion you will find some nastiness, but overall there are some wonderful women who are very supportive in situations like these.

I was diagnosed last year with depression and anxiety and although I was on meds, I think the therapy was major reason for my successful outcome. I learned why my life is so unorganized and stressful and I learned some very helpful tools to use on a dialy basis when confronted with these issues.

One thing I found to be helpful for myself is I started to take my shower before I started work, even put on makeup. It really does change how you feel about yourself. I recommend you start there.

Good Luck!
I am almost ashamed to same I am from the same state as these freaks...
They absolutely sicken me. They are a radical CHURCH group believe it or not that protest funerals all over the U.S. on the basis that for one they love the publicity..and their "grounds" for protesting funerals is that the people who are dead are dead because it's God's punishment to the world for society's and the military's acceptance of gays. That's it. I mean come on...I don't care what your position is on gays, I cannot fathom the idea that they feel it's ok to stand outside the funeral of a soldier killed in Iraq or now these poor innocent children....to hold up disgusting hate signs with such things as "911 is God's gift to gays"..and they truly believe these people deserve to die because of this. It's total INSANITY to say the least. They are absolutely disgusting.
My kiddos start school next Wed and I'm not ashamed to say it will be a relief. My teenaged son

gives me hourly updates on his boredom every single day.  Now, my daughter is starting kindergarten this year and I will be sad probably the first week because she's my baby - my last baby - but she is sooooo ready for school.  She just can't wait.  Maybe I should be the one with hurt feelings since she can't way to leave me! 


I highly doubt my son's feelings are hurt when I say "Just think, you won't be bored when school starts."


Kind of ashamed to admit I threw daughter's card away
I know some will call me petty. We haven't ever had the best relationship because she has been a difficult kid since grade school. Just really, really hard to deal with and nasty much of the time. I keep trying and trying and trying and trying. I help her out financially when I can, watch the baby every day while I'm trying to work, too.  I had tears picking out a card for her, and I put some money in there with a little note to treat herself. Yes, I took the money out and tossed the card. I know it sounds harsh, but I feel like I keep putting forth the effort and barely get a thank you in return. Instead, I get a "what's your problem?" Now my son..I can deal with. At least he treats me with some kindness and he tries.
Then you shouldn't ben an SE or an IC. We all....
have to make the choices and or sacrifices that provide us with what we need.  You may need to find a job that provides benefits, as opposed to living on the edge regarding medical care.  If that means you work a rigid schedule because you're an employee, giving up the flexibility of being an IC may be necessary.  I did the same thing myself.  Canadian health care stinks.
They shouldn't be able to do that.

We used to rent and went through that.  I've worked as a housekeeper before, so I'm anal about cleaning.  Security deposits are for damages only, usually not for routine cleaning.  We had landlords try to charge us for many reasons, but there are Landlord/Tenant laws in each state.  In my state, the landlord has to notify us that the unit is not clean enough and give us time to clean it up before they can withhold from the security deposit.  If they don't notify you, your deposit is fully due to you.  They also have to give you an itemized list of specific charges, not just general cleaning.  I always took pictures before and after, too, just to prove that we left everywhere clean.


We had one altercation with a landlord in a basement apartment we lived in.  The foundation was cracked and leaking, and the ancient threadbare 1950s carpet got stained with water, moldy, and mildewy, so we tore it out and replaced it with remnants.  He tried to charge me for recarpeting the entire basement apartment.  I took pictures, though, and threatened him with a lawsuit of my own for providing substandard living quarters, failing to make repairs, and withholding my security deposit.  He tried to bully me by telling me that he had never lost a case, so I turned him in to the county.


Go to Google and type in your state name with "Landlord Tenant laws" and "security deposit" to see what it says.  Then call an attorney for a free consultation.  Send a demand letter for the funds owed to you.


Maybe I shouldn't say this but
Uninstall it and reinstall again, see what happens.
shouldn't have said it was better lol
I keep getting all lines are busy please try again later or We are sorry all circuits are busy now please hang up and try again 312506.
And I thought monday was over,,,,,,my bad!!!
Shouldn't we use ml instead of cc?

He shouldn't try to think.

No, you shouldn't do that. sm
I have always read NO, do not run 2 antivirus programs at once. I run Spybot and Ad-Aware along with my main antivirus (I use Avast), but you should not run 2 main antivirus (such as Avast or AVG) programs together. I don't know what PC Tools does so I don't know specifically if that is okay to run with AVG, but I would advise checking with AVG before you do anything.

I find that using something like AVG and running periodic Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware scans, plus using the immunize tool in Spybot, works well and keeps my PC free of pests (along with firewall, of course).

Just my opinion, but a lot of the "do-it-all" programs end up slowing down your computer with extra features you may not even need or want. Half the stuff they bundle isn't even necessary since many browers and ISPs bundle the same functions in their software. Therefore, you might be wasting memory resources on something you already have adequate protection for with your browser/ISP. You can compare it to medicine designed for cough, congestion, and allergy - if you only have the cough, you really don't need the congestion and allergy medicines so why buy the multi-formula med and subject your body to it unnecessarily when you could just get the cough med and be well?
shouldn't have to
you can program any key to anything you like.
and shouldn't that be...
MIIIIIIINE?

Hehehe. I'm in a mood today.
What I wanted to do but never did (and probably shouldn't)
I always wanted to tape record about 20 minutes of the yapping and then play it back right outside when the neighbor had a window open, preferably in the middle of the night!
I probably shouldn't bite, but (sm)
Almost $30,000 (including July SE bonus).

Medquist.

Shift differential.

Incentive bonus (over 17,000 lines/pp) met 50% of pay periods.

Quarterly bonus for SEs (at least $500 per quarter).

Work 40 hours per week, sometimes more if I work an occasional weekend.

Two kids at home, over 17, but neither drive (boo me).

No husband or boyfriend.

I have as much of a life as I want.


shouldn't you ask your employer

Shouldn't an employer pay

Not doing that is what has made the world go upside down right now.


If I am paid 7/cents a line and my cost of living is based on 12/cents a line plus


benefits, it's almost impossible to keep working for that company who is paying


7/cents a line.


It's pretty simple.


America still demands that we live an "American life style - no sh^t in the rivers, building codes, codes on how many people can live in a dwelling, high insurance rates, etc etc"


well, paying all that and making what a company is paying a peoples who don/'t have those demands is insane.


It's a simple question to our leaders?


Do you want us to live like the third world country? or do you want to give us ability to make salaries to pay for the LIFE STYLE America is demanding we do.


Frankly I'm sick and tired of paying for free loaders of any color.  When I saw Laurie Duh (don't know how to spell her name) on Fox yesterday report that one of the homeless from New Orleans........went out and bought a LOUIS VUITTON PURSE


with the $2000 she got..........I STARTED SCREAMING and if I could have gotten my hands around the neck of the idiot who thought it was a good idea to give these people the money in the first place I would have strangled him.........and then I would have done the same to the woman who bought the purse.


I'm sitting here in pain from a bad tooth and no insurance.........and she bought a purse.........LOUIS VUITTON.


p.s. Billfolds in Louis Vuitton start at around $600 and the purses are around $1500 to $5,000.


 


You shouldn't be surprised
Anybody can get a husband.  You are a perfect example of that.  I'm not going to settle for just anybody like you did.  Just in case you couldn't tell, I have standards.
But they shouldn't be able to make a law on it.
I find it ridiculous! This is just my opinion though, and not going against any of the others.

Unless they are going to make a law that is has to affordable for people that is!
Shouldn't matter.....sm
Your macro will open the original template each time. If you need changes to it, make the changes and save it as a different template and link your macro to it. I'm not a macro expert, but I've made a few and it really isn't hard. There's info in Word's help files.
You really shouldn't assume anything
about people you don't know. I am not overweight at all. I eat well and exercise regularly, but I don't condemn other people for eating what they like. It's very rude of you to call me overweight. You don't even know me.
Hey, I never said that an MT shouldn't send anything to QA at all. SM
I am a big believer in QA being utilized as one of the many resources available to MTs to help them do their jobs, but QA should be the LAST resource after exhausting all other resources.
You shouldn't have to. Maybe 5 years from now you will need
a Vista computer, but too many people have XP now for anyone to consider upgrading to something that won't work with XP. 
It shouldn't be necessary to do it once a week but sm

It's a good idea to do it every couple of months or so. It helps your computer to run faster and more efficiently.


Before I run defrag, I usually glance through my files and delete anything that is outdated or no longer necessary. I open my browser and delete history, files, and cookies. I empty the Deleted Items folder in my email. And I go to Add/Remove Programs and review all the programs I have installed and see if there are any I'm not using any more. 


You shouldn't have to buy it to work! If so, don't
s
shouldn't that be you're welcome?
,
When you have to pay money out that you shouldn’t , then
that is ok with you as in the section 8 house I never owned nor got money from? It apparently is my business when I am charged on MY taxes, it apparently is my business when others claim children on their taxes that are living with me and I AM taking care of, not them and yes it is my business when I have to keep dead beats on welfare, that is also my money that goes towards them. I consider this closed as is other's minds.
shouldn't be hard at all
I think it is very user friendly. The demo screen is easy to get through, finds the patient/visit you need. Where i work, you can only use autocorrect - no other Expander program is what I was told - but I adjusted and have added my own shortcuts like crazy. My previous job - 3 months ago - was using WordPerfect/PRD mostly, with some MSWord/Speetype - so I don't know much about other platforms but I-Type was very easy to learn. Good Luck.
No it shouldn't have taken so long but, unfortunately,

If you an use your own computer, shouldn't matter
laptop or desktop.  I've been using a laptop for 4+ years. 
Shouldn't this be on the Style Board?
kidding - no offence meant to moderator
You shouldn't be so quick to judge.
Those of us who haven't got as high a pedestal as you have made mistakes in our lives. It is not the child's fault we made a bad decision. Single mothers have it really rough and I should know.

The above poster did not make it sound like it had anything to do with her being a single mother.

I am married now but, at times, have been the "breadwinner" if you will, for my family. Would that make it sound better?

I don't want to be treated any better than anyone else, but I have had to do a lot of things.

The recruiter made a mistake. She should have never put the offer out there if she wasn't completely sure.
Then you shouldn't waste the time sm

going on the cruise if you are going to have to worry about work even if it takes you no time at all to get it done.  When you have an opportunity for rest and relaxation you need to take it.   It will be more trouble having to worry with the work on vacation.   I agree... see if someone locally does MT and get them to do it while you are gone.  Have them sign a contract or something so that you don't have to worry about your accounts.   Or I would be they would hold their dictation and let you do it when you got back.   NO WAY should you take the work with you.   If you have been with them for 5 years, you have already proven your worth.   Chances are if you tell them you are going to take a short vacation since you haven't in 5 years, they will respond and so go, we will hold it til you get back. 


 


Good luck, enjoy yourself!!


You probably shouldn't waste your breath
You are so right.

How one finds themselves in a desperate situation like this is irrelevant.

I just can't help but think people who have the mentality of the poster to whom you responded are the same who claim to be Christians and Right-To-Lifers. I guess you only have the right to live if you're in the womb and not a sinner.

These people were totally disregarded as human. Make your bed mentality, have versus have not mentality, and as the poster below said, plantation mentality.


You shouldn't feel that way! No one has even ASKED

before they hired me.  Well, maybe at a hospital but not otherwise.  There was an older lady who worked at a hospital I worked at.  She was past retirement age but still working.  NOT TRUE that you can't still do it well; she did.  She not only transcribed but she acted as trainer for the new MTs the hospital had hired, started them out on discharge summaries and then progressed them as they learned.  She did a fantastic job.  I learned SO MUCH from that lady, and I was not a new MT and she did not train me, but still there is no substitute for all those years of experience.  If I had a question I sure knew where to go.  AND - she didn't mind questions!


So don't think you can't do it or they won't let you do it.  You sure can, and I bet you are much, much better than so many newer MTs.  Like I said, there is no substitute for all those years of knowledge!
