    It doesn't sound HATEFUL to me, this person is just saying that suddenly

    those who celebrate Christmas are forced to conform for a few minority religions? That's not right. A friend of mine who is Jewish regularly has her children out of school during Hannukah and the school doesn't penalize her children for it.  As far as Christmas plays are concerned, I don't think it's right to force children to be in a play that consists of a bunch of different beliefs if they are not of that particular belief system.  If that is how it is going to be, then they need to completely do away with Christmas/Holiday plays altogether.  There are many holiday songs out there that don't recognize ANY religion at all.  If religion is the issue, than children can easily sing Santa Clause is coming to town or, Jingle Bells, etc. without offending since those songs lean more toward the commercial aspect of the holiday season.  And then, those who want to participate in separate PRIVATE plays can do so.  There are options that can be chosen without hurting anyone's feelings about their religious beliefs.


    you sound just as bitter and defensive, so we're square. nm

    You sound like a bitter, jealous, uneducated female.
    Sorry, but I've been married to a blue collar man who beat the living crap out of me and destroyed my life in every way he possibly could. Turned my own mother against me, took my kids, laughed when I got cancer.

    I am now married to a lawyer who treats me like a queen. It's wonderful to live a stress-free, hate-free existance and my kids and my mom have finally come around so I'm looking forward to a wonderful holiday for the first time in 6 years.

    However, I would never say that ALL blue collar men are abusive, drunk, lazy slobs like my ex-husband is. That's generalizing and that's not fair, and certainly not correct.

    I also wouldn't say that all corporate executives are perfect men either. That is also generalizing.

    You don't sound like a prize yourself with your judgmental nature, dear. Time to take a step back and do some self-evaluation and perhaps get some therapy.
    I meant to post the "angry" icon
    ..
    Nope - you are still a bigot with a low IQ.
    Now THAT'S the end of the story!
    Then called me a bigot...
    …Does not matter that my grandparents Italian, that I have a mixed marriage but I really get tired of hearing crap that is so very hard to decipher. I started out MTing at a teaching hospital almost 30 years ago and we had scores of non-English people dictating but I do not remember it ever being this difficult as today. I work 1 day on the weekend and it seems the ESLs are all over the place then.
    blondie a bigot?
    and how many of these "illegals" do you come in contact with.  I should hope it is more than 2 (the number of "legals" yoy know), very small numbers to base such opinions on.  Maybe you are not a bigot, but certainly ignorant, sheltered, naive.....
    true, blondie, & you are no bigot for saying so
    A neighbor from Middle Eastern said that in her country, they do not have bathroom/kitchen facilities like in this country. People walk every day to common areas to shower & bring home enough water for that day's use. She said the even the poorest people here are living in luxury in comparison--just because water/baths/showers are so available. So you are no ''bigot'' for stating the obvious.
    This is not being a bigot! Simply stating fact of

    i know the price and value of most things. i am NOT a bigot. i know if you live in a place that is
    Because a trailer park is cheaper housing you get a lot of uneducated people living there who make trailer park living undesirable for most. That is why people make fun of trailer park trash. I am not tearing down anyone. You live where you are comfortable but I would not be comfortable in a trailer park having to defend my style of life and along with my lifestyle, I would be defending the whole trailer park whose lifestyle I may not admire. Bigot schmigot. Trailer park quality of life and conditions in many trailer parks are fact and you choose to ignore it or call people bigots who bring it to others attention.
    You know, you are the one who is hateful.
    on this board anonymously and bash her.  Why?  If you don't like the company, why not leave it?  If Dorothy is that much of a problem, why are you there?
    As if you know, hateful hag!

    Not hateful, was actually trying to be funny..

    Nothing to do with hateful opinions
    but more to do with reality. If you run a "well-structured" daycare and you type when the kids are napping or watching movies, there is no way that equals an 8 hr a day full-time job. The majority of us here have been through or are in the process of raising kids. There isn't a kid in this world that doesn't decide at various times they are not going to take a nap, the crying the getting out of bed or up from their mat, etc. don't you have to stop to deal with that? Two hours max is about all you are gonna get out of a daycare nap time setting. So unless you plop them in front of movies for the rest of the day (and they sit there like perfect little angles, which will never happen given the attention span of children) how do you pull off working what you make to sound like a full time job? None one is being hateful it is just real hard to pull the wool over the eyes of people in your same profession.
    Frankly, this all sounds hateful. sm

    Saying you hate coddling minorities, etc., is pretty scary. What's wrong with a play that includes the full religious and cultural beliefs of the season rather than just yours?


    And yes, you could probably tell there weren't any blacks in the audience, but you couldn't tell if there were any Jews.


    There's a lot of hate here and a lot of xenophobia. Frankly, the attitudes don't sound much like Jesus at all.


    Hateful notes from supervisors
    Some of these supervisors and MTSOs must be the most unhappy people in the world and must hate themselves.  No way a normal person could send out horrible hateful notes to their staff.  Wish they would get some professional help, just for their own sake.
    my, my, how hateful. That's good advertising...
    for the AHDI. Ahem. Your grammar and structure are lovely and correct, though. I'm sure you passed the exam with flying colors.

    I used to joke that every time I considered the CMT I got pregnant: end of CMT plans. In all seriousness, it's a lot of money to spend. I was chapter president of our local AAMT for a couple of years and I put in a lot of hours setting up stuff for the CMTs to get credits; it's quite frankly what it all revolved around. A lot of those women have spent a PILE of money over the years keeping current with their certification and I admire their tenacity. Not one of them that I know personally, however, has ever benefited monetarily or professionally by their CMT; it is a personal satisfaction only.

    Unfortunately, it's not as simple as a forest/trees analogy nor as simple as a having a "grudge" against the AAMT - oh, excuse me, AHDI. There's been a lot of broken promises and dreams over the years and some people have real reason to be bitter about it.

    The exam is a good one. I proctored an exam, I've looked at the materials, and I've seen what it takes to maintain. It's good stuff. But unfortunately, in the end, it's only for your own personal satisfaction. Different strokes.
    You don't think calling someone a liar is hateful? lol
    nm
    i can use my real name to tell you that you are a hateful person MT2...so THERE!
    mean people suck
    they are jealous and hateful of anyone, family or friends who are successful.
    They think they don't have to work too hard or follow the rules of society. Sometimes they embellish the truth or tell lies of ommission to have people feel sorry for them. There are lots of signs relative to how other people think that this person is way off base. Sometimes all they do is want to sleep. Other times they are on the phone for hours at a time. Something is off.
    Typical hateful liberal. Taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune.
    You're a real piece of work.
    Not bitter one bit. (sm)

    Just showing the other side of it. I'm trying to point out an employer can expect a few oddball resumes from people grossly underqualified and even those new to the whole process of presenting oneself in resume-style dossier. In the same way, potential applicants can find that the drummed-up company names and profiles for a job posting at any website, in any newspaper, anywhere can be nothing but an e-mail dress and/or fax number of someone trying to subcontract work they are subcontracting from someone else...or worse.


    What is unacceptable is when companies tout themselves as major players in the medical transcription field, or demand certain professional standards from their applicants, but cannot get their act together to perform professional, honest and effective interview/testing/hiring sessions. It just helps MTs to identify the people who lack respect for their time and efforts as an applicant, as those MTs can expect the same after being hired.


    Yep. And it is a bitter cup.

    Because they are bitter that they can't. lol
    oo
    Bitter
    You certainly are one bitter woman. If you would have read what I said - I DID say I was making 4 cents less a line than I was making 20 years ago. I don't think you can read.
    Just do a search and read the posts. There are plenty of posts about OSI on this board. nm.
    nm.
    Thank you. I think this is just a bitter person
    trying to cause more bitterness. I feel sorry for them.


    Actually I did go to college and I'm not bitter at all....sm
    Just realistic, as I said. Obviously you've not found the right company - there are out there, believe me. But the previous poster did say it correctly - if you were working in an office with your degree, you couldn't just jump up and run. An MTSO or company has a business to run, too. I schedule my appointments after my working hours - pretty simple it seems to me.
    well, now I know why you are a bitter, name-calling person.
    nuff said
    When I began 15 yrs ago, people were bitter. I

    I have posted on this subject, bitter?
    Oh, no, I could take now but I am 1 year short of full and it would be crazy to have Uncle Sam taking my money any more than he does know. I got the information up front- I know how much I will be getting when I do take my money, I know how much I get on a retirement account. Not bitter, just smart not to retire before I want to!
    I must be a bitter MT..Check out the ad on job seeker's

    Obviously Indian-based, but they want to train you to be an MT..check this part out..


    Transcription is fun for the right person as it allows you to write and if you love to write, then it is an enjoyable career. Some people who do not like writing because they are not creative still enjoy this medical online profession. Even people who hate writing like this profession because it allows for working at home on a flexible schedule.


    OKAY.. what planet are they from..Since when is transcription fun LOL...and I'm sure glad it lets me write whatever I want, because I just love to write..LOL and I get to use my creative ability also to write whatever I like. People who hate MT-ing just do because they hate to write and are not creative LOL. I'm sorry but this just cracked me up. I've thought a lot of things about transcription but FUN was never one of them. Lucky for me though, even though I don't like it, I get to stay at home and have a really flexible schedule..NOT.. lol...


     


    Why so bitter?? Does the truth hurt? nm

    What are you? A bitter old school marm? Hahaha
    All your "PAY ATTENTION" posts. Hahaha

    geez you guys are bitter. Maybe she's trying to lighten

    Maybe she just has a fun personality?


    And with this awful bitter cold weather
    going ballistic on the drivers when they do return!
    Why does it seem that all divorced women are so bitter? It is not ALL men that are rats. You just
    found one that was.
    I'm not bitter. I've been remarried to a wonderful for 13-1/2 yrs.

    Your tone sounds 100% whining and bitter.
    That's why I call your posts whining and bitter! The other poster stated her case in a mature way, using stats as her back up. No whining, no bitterness. I have not formed an opinion on the AAMT either way to date, but am leaning more pro-AAMT by just the style of postings - those supporting it come off as calm, professional, and mature, while those not supporting it sound emotional, bitter, and whining. Just my opine and reaction to the posts!! Debate much? Its a great skill, and long lost in America...
    You're sounding bitter about your cubicle.
    Be happy for her, be envious of her (I know I am), but bitter is unbecoming a professional.
    who really cares? personable, angry, bitter, just do your work.
    I don't really know the purpose of a supervisor so I guess I don't really care what their tone is. I have been through MANY supervisors. I don't really care about their tone. I do my work no matter what they say or do.
    Bitter? I think the recruiter/owner had some valid points. nm

    Explaining my occasional bitter-/crankiness
    I confess, I am one of those that will occasionally toss a snide comment in. I don't think I have ever gotten to the point of being brutally mean, but I have been snippy. And it may be petty and it may be unnecessary, but, in my case anyway, it stems from a frustration when obvious newbs post a question that at least in my mind seems simplistic (based on the s/l they are able to provide) and should either be a common knowledge type thing or else easily findable. After a day of plodding through ESLs, rapid-fire dictators, or reports that have more chromosome testing than I have chromosomes, I do get a little cranky when someone who probably only makes $50 less a week than I do posts on here asking what 'conjecture hard fail your' might be and respond in a somewhat less than mature way.
    Geez, you're really getting close to the line of sounding bitter.
    May I suggest some counseling? The OP asked an innocent question and you took it like a personal attack against you.

    I've been a single parent and mind you I know how hard it is to be in that situation, but if someone asks a simple question like "what does your spouse do" most people who don't have a SO at the moment would have moved on to another thread and never given it a second thought.

    Seriously, time to do some self-searching.
    Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?

    I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers.  Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer.  Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card?  Did it make a difference. 


    Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you.  You have helped me many times. 


    Um have you read any of your posts and the other posts? I think everyone DOES believe me..you

    You do sound FAT, but you don't sound RICh.
    Go live in Iraq or something.
    There has been a lot of posts about them
    over the past couple of months, few good.  If searching with TRS isn't bringing up anything, search using the full name. 
    regarding most of the posts below
    I just have to say that "redneck grit", I think is how one poster described it, does not only live in trailer parks! I know, for a fact, a used-to-be-nice neighborhood full of new homes--houses--where there are a bunch of rednecks.  I'd rather live in a nice trailer park than in that neighborhood full of houses.  Regardless of where or what you live in, there is always gonna be the not-so-desirables in the neighborhood-regardless! And most of the time, they live right on the main road or right at the entrance..go figure!
    not ALL posts are MQ...this is not..I am not..
    you are just a slammer to slam...maybe YOU are the MQ person and that is why you are so mean and slam...afterall...not every post on this board is for or about or beause of MQ there are lots of other companies out there..good and bad
    To below posts about MT pay and such
    Just wanted to say my piece.  Sure an MT can make money at 7.5 cpl.  Sure many MTs can type 14,000 lines in a week and bring home 4K or more a month.  SURE.  The point is, however, WHY should we have to work that much?  If we are not newbies and have all this experience under our belts, and not to mention a high standard of quality, WHY should we have to take a job paying 7.5 cpl?  WHY.  Am I  not worth more than the MT who has just graduated from school?  Yes!  WHY should I not make more money?  So, the attitude of most MTs these days is simply because we are not valued for the experience and quality that we bring to our companies.
