I just got home. I have checked the boards for crazy-a$$ posts and this is one.

If you "feel sorry" for me you sure have a strange way of showing it.  I don't feel sorry for you.  I really don't like you.  And I am not a hypocrit about it like you.  Now get our your crystal ball and figure out anyone who disagrees with you SIMPLY MUST BE SOCIALLY INEPT and I figure your as nutz and they come whistling in the dark and hoping nobody notices your Freudian slips.  Such a know-it-all who actually by your posts knows nothing.  It's nice out.  Get out for a change.  It might do you a world of good but if not, hey too bad so sad. You'll get what you deserve.


 


Gotcha. Bwaaaaahaaaaaa.


Why am I getting asked for email confirmation to post on some boards but not all of them? nm

Do you believe everything you read here on these boards? No one knows any better
than I do whether they outsource. They do not.
You cannot believe what you read all the time on these boards.
Best to ask the company if you have a question.
Go to the Word boards and read
all of the notes and replies that deal with acute care. If there is something you do not understand, research it and study up on it as much as possible. It is basically a way to learn new terminology. No one can teach you acute care. If you want to learn it, all you have to do it study. The Internet and reference books will be your teachers. The ball is in your court. All you have to do it take the time to learn it. When you graduate from MT school, you only learn the basics. The rest you must teach yourself. I hope this helps.
Apparently you have not read the other boards
where the one you are talking to is the one to blame for loads of hostile postings.
Thanks for this info! I'm going to read up on it and watch the job boards! nm

Apparently you have not read any boards in the last 20 years, sm
or you would know the answer to your question already. 
Read all the posts on the New MT/Student boards

Read the company boards, posts about them today.nm
 
Night Owl - Yours is the most worthwhile post I have ever read on these boards
When working from home, whether dealing with clients, MT management, or QA personnel, you can just feel the negative vibes coming off of people over so little.  It causes a very stressful environment.  Maybe that is where some of the MTs on here develop that attitude, I don't know.  The awful insults, comments, and degrading people on here is absolutely unbelievable.  Just because you have 15, 20, 30 years of experience in this field, that is no excuse for rudeness.  Once you have insulted someone to the point I have seen here, your MT experience means nothing to me, and if I were a management person and knew this about you, you would not work for my company no matter how perfect your MT skills are.  This says a great deal about you. Perhaps people in general will write things they would never say to a person face to face.  I happen to be a very mature, very experienced MT.  I feel like my knowledge should be used to help someone, not degrade them.  I hope the MTs who have posted above on this comment will continue to call these people out when they post these horrible comments.  Even if you are right (which seems to be the most important thing in the world to them), there is a way of stating facts, opinions, and comments that you have yet to learn in dealing with people even if it is not face to face.
Well from what I read on the boards "Busy MTing" can afford to post but you need to sm
go look in the mirror and ask yourself why are you so miserable?
Read these boards, & you'll find 'rude & inconsiderate'

Thank you. Just read it and made

Coffee just always smells so darn good, doesn't it? I drink 3 cups of coffee... sm

in the morning (used to be 4) w/Nutrasweet, a little regular powdered creamer and a little liquid French Vanilla creamer (yes, I do like it sweet!)  If I'm really sleepy and need the boost, I'll have another cup or two. 


Then I immediately start drinking diet Dr. Pepper, and not the caffeine-free kind.  Love it.  I drink diet Dr. Pepper throughout the day and night, about 6 cans a day (it used to be diet Coke).  I've joked with my friends and family that it might be time for them to hold an intervention for me with the Dr. P. 


I do sometimes worry about the mass quantity of Nutrasweet I consume each day.  Anybody else? 


POTS of coffee? Wow...I have 2-3 cups of half-caff coffee with just milk each day. Any more and I

Email scam - Please read!

If anyone has received an email from a "Susan Ronald" or an email talking about a $12 million deposit in a trunk at a securities company in the U.S. that they want you to pick up personally and send to them, please contact me by email and I will give you an FBI website to send it to for investigation.


Thanks.


Email and IP Address Confidentiality -- ALL READ

It is important that each reader and poster understand the safety of their information on MTStars:


 Email Addresses


Email addresses should never be typed into a post in any way.  The email address you validate to have posting privileges is never given or sold to any individual, group, company or association. 


You may receive emails to that address from others using the Reply By Email option on one of your posts.  If you receive an email through the MTStars board, it will provide the URL to the post it is referencing.  Your email address is still not exposed at this point.  The person sending an email does not see your email address but has simply filled in an online form to send you the email.  If you choose to reply to the email sent to you, then you have actively chosen to expose your email address to the person emailing you. 


MTStars does not recommend that you respond to any unsolicited email unless you are certain of the validity of the sender.  Anyone can send you an email through the Reply By Email option on any post you make.  It will go to the email address you used to validate that post.


IP Addresses


Your IP address is private and confidential.  It is never given or sold to any individual, group, company or association. 


Depending on the email agent you use, if you respond to an email sent to you (or if you send an email to someone outside of the MTStars board at any time), your IP address may be traceable through your email. 


Can companies or individuals find out your identity? 


Yes.  Not through exposure of your information (email or IP address) but through recognizing situations you describe or other information provided by you when you post.  It is deductive reasoning.  If YOU provide enough information, you may be effectively “signing” your post.  This is true on any board, whether open publicly or not.  Even private boards cannot guarantee who their membership really is. 


Do companies and associations read MTStars?


Yes.  Anyone can read MTStars.  Information posted is searchable on the Internet.  Even a private board can be read by anyone who registers as a member. 


Making claims that MTStars provides, gives, exposes or sells your email address or IP address is a libelous claim and will not be tolerated. 


If you have any questions, please contact the Administrator or Moderator directly.


When I opened your message to read it, I saw something that made me chuckle. SM
At the top of the page, there was an ad defining Alzheimer's disease (with an apostrophe) from alzheimersconcern.com. We're probably the only one's following this new guideline. I wonder how many people read these apostropheless terms we are now mandated to transcribe and actually do think we're nuts. Even if it is correct, and I do understand the reasoning behind leaving the apostrophe off, it still doesn't help our image any, at least in my opinion. Just a thought.
The great southern coffee... Community Coffee...

People who grew up with it and have moved have it sent to them now or stock up when they visit Louisiana.


Requesting a read receipt when sending an email is in no way considered being a

"control freak."  Do you also label people who send mail via the U.S. Postal Service as either Certified or Registered "control freaks?"


 


I just re-read his email and he said he paid 9 cpl per 55-char line! Must be offshore. sm
I'm going to bring up the offshore issue with him and HIPPA issue as well.  My OB/GYN just switched over to that practice to do just GYN and specialize in urological gyn, so they have my records too and I sure don't want them overseas.  Even if they don't want to hire me, that's fine and I'm not going to sales pitch him at all, but I don't want my records outsourced.
common sense dictates you read the writing on the wall. technology has made you obsolete.
and the government has seen to it that american workers are no longer necessary and allows business to outsource many middle income jobs. 
Did you check and see what's checked or not checked in Preferences. Maybe something got messed up

I am sorry. I meant boards not broads. Now those darn boards have disappeared again.

Please leave an email or email me at my address....click the email button. Thanks...nm

but boards will be dano's boards and that's the issue. no one dare disagree with dano.
yes the boards will be boring with just one-sided opinions but we need to please dano. isn't that the purpose of MT Stars?
i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
If you are having any problems validating your email addy, please email support@mtstars.com

KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY

e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place.  The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you.  If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

I intended to email it- already email the mods to remove
z
Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone.  The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write.

San Antonio; email me; I can give you email for MT sm

who is in San Antonio and may be able to help you.


I'm in Corpus.


Hey, that is me too. Nothing like a cig with your coffee :-)
 
coffee
Usually 3 to 4 large cups in the morning and 2 to 3 cups of tea in the afternoon.  I couldn't live with my morning coffee ! 
Look for, not look like for...coffee!!!

best coffee

Whole bean and grind it yourself.  It blows away the stuff in the can already ground.


I buy what is on sale, because it all tastes good when you grind it yourself.  But I prefer 8 O'Clock Coffee, which may or may not be available in your area. 


Whole bean all the way. 


In 12 years of MT'ing I've never re-read an entire chart. Edit/read as I type. nm

how about the coffee creamer one? sm
Where the woman is watering her grass and then sprays the paperboy when he rides by! That's how I feel sometimes before my coffee!
One CUP of coffee? Why would you deny yourself that? nm

Three Tylenol and coffee (sm)
 of course, a massage never hurts!! Feel better!
You are right ! I need coffee. tanks

Yes along with drinking my pot of coffee! nm

Coffee and a big cup of ice water so far...nm

Are they coffee drinkers?
I love coffee and would love to receive some Starbucks flavored coffee beans and cappuccino (sp) mixes, some Mrs. Fields cookies, muffins, a couple of pretty coffe mugs, a good book, throw them in a basket and voila!
Oh my goodness! That's a lot of coffee.
I recently cut my coffee intake from three large cups a day to, most days, none. For me, the big reason is that I sugar/cream it to death, and thought I might lose a few pounds. I also do not think that my brain works right when I've had that much coffee.

Trying to move to green tea sweetened with honey, and not three large cups. (LOL)
