missed point nature

North, south, east and west do not change, correct. It was funny as she said "depends on which way you are coming from." Here in our berg, streets try to be north and south, east and westbound, as that was an east and westbound street they were on. Just killed me, sorry I was entertained.

You missed my point. My point wasn't perks but prestige...nm

You missed my point I

being a roadside idiot holding a stopandgo sign.


that is the bottomline.


I have many years of experience of transcription.


If you don't see the writing on the wall of where MTing is going - well, whoa be it for me


to explain it to you.


I'm just bowled over by the fact that after this many years


my experience is worth less than if I had never learned


how to type, learned English grammar, learned to type 100 cwpm, struggled my way through computer education on my own,


learned medical terms, drug names and values, learned foreign


dialects, learned many specialties .......that here 30 years later I


can hold a sign and make the same money.


But you stay in the field if you feel like you will come out ahead.


Since they have turned the career into a profit making machine for


a bunch of suits - the respectability of it and the career side of it


seems to me has flown out the window and the MT has become nothing


more than a part of that apparatus that can be replaced at their whim, and rather


cheaply -


LOL. I think you missed my point, too. sm
I said benefits "should" be paid to employees, not that employers were required to pay them.  That is one of the main reasons people choose to be employees, the benefits.  Hopefully, your MQ PTO has improved.  When I left them approximately 4 years ago the PTO was a measly 3 days for the whole year to include holidays, sickness, and vacation.    At least now I have 6 paid holidays plus 10 days PTO a year plus other benefits including company-paid life insurance, short and long term disability, etc. 
The point you missed is...

The OP never said that her supervisor asked MTs to work extra.  If your supervisor asks you to work extra and you do, and there is no work for the other MTs during their schedule...then this is a different story.  This would then be considered a problem with management because they are allowing others to work extra and grab another MTs lines.  If MTs are not being asked to work extra and they are anyway, then this is a problem with greedy MTs not working their schedule.  There is a big difference between the two. 


The bottom line is:  The problem starts with MTs not working their schedule.  If management does not follow through and take care of the problem, then it becomes a problem with management.


you missed the point entirely.

i think you missed the point...lol

You missed the point
You *apologize* in order to keep the peace/keep the job WHILE you look for another one, or decide to stay and re-negotiate terms.

I'd never leave an unprofessional comment or email hanging (no matter how much justified) UNLESS I was prepared to allow it to cost me my job.

It takes nothing for a professional to say "Sorry about that statement...etc."
and all I was saying is that ameliorating the situation could save a job you haven't yet replaced.
You missed my point. sm

Obviously if someone is socializing or otherwise not working, no they shouldn't be compensated.  I've been in that situation too. People like that are what drove us to a production-based industry.  I've also worked in-house in places where the newbies refused to do the ESLs and the difficult reports so they never learned. 


There are lot of us that do work and work hard that have 20-30 years of knowledge and expertise and are not compensated for it.  Sorry don't think its right for a newbie to make the same amount as someone with 20-30 years experience.  You'll say. "There are some with experience that don't know what I know."  I don't believe a newbie knows what an MT of 30 years' experience knows no matter what.  It just doesn't make sense.  You can't cram 30 years into 1-2 years. 


There probably are some imcompetent experienced MTs out there just as there are imcompetent MTs period, but don't lump us oldies altogether.  Of course, nobody knows it all.  When it comes to quality versus production, quality is most important.  IMHO.


No, you MISSED my point.
In the post above, you said you ''NEVER said anybody should walk out or strike or quit anything.''

Yes, you indeed DID, and I quoted just one of the times you did and linked to the post that came from.
you screwed up and you know it. you missed the point and you know it.
the jokes on you. hey i'm am more than happy to have the router give you the hard stuff. whatever. i got bills to pay and when they route crap to you, i keep the good stuff.
You missed the point because it is on your head.
You are a typical QA person who needs the last word. Get the point? Have a look in the mirror.
Geez, you missed my point.
Benefits are not mandatory.


You totally missed the point
Educated = higher credibility in the world of employment/success.

Smart does not necessarily mean common sense (whatever that is supposed to mean). Smart can mean lots of things - like making better choices, like having self-respect, like not needing to belittle others to make ourselves feel validated.

Sounds like you have some sour grapes going on for your family members. Try saying something positive about people. You'll be amazed at how more intelligent and classy you come across.
I am sorry to hear that you missed it by a point, -sm
I know how frustrating and disappointing that must be. As for the visiting relatives who could not hear "this is not a good time to come, how about another weekend" which your husband inferred---guess he should have been more to the point, but regardless of that, I would have just ignored their presence completely, telling them you had to study, and let your husband deal with/entertain them. My in-laws come about once a month on a Sunday, which is my work day for my weekend work. Though I try to do it on Saturday, I usually don't have it done or at least not all of it. So I work when they visit. They are well aware I will most likely be working when they visit. They don't come to see me or my DH, just the kids, so they don't care and neither do I. If you do decide to try again, say in a year or whatever, and a similar situation occurs just stick to your guns and do what you gotta do!
You totally missed the point which was...sm
20 million Cubans in one city is very small in comparison to the rest of the country, which has a population of 301,139,947(as of July 2007).
I think you missed the original point sm
its the "newbies" who ask stuff that they should have learned in school. The everyday stuff such as DTRs and things about rales and wheezes, etc. etc. That is stuff you learn right off the bat not things you ask about routinely. I understand if its a really bad ESL and it doesn't sound like that is what he is saying. But there was a poster on the word board that actually asked had anyone heard of rales and wheezes! Come on! Sounds like somebody trying to do MT that doesn't have a clue at all. There are many more similar posts. You can tell the difference.
You've missed the entire point!
Duh!  It's the docs who don't want to pay my dear. You're really expecting to get blood out of a turnip, aren't you?  Quit blaming the MTSOs and look at the entity who's calling the shots - The doctors/clinics who hire the MTSO.
I guess ya'll missed the point, but not surprising
I asked for opinions only of people who had SEEN the movie, oh well. I saw it and found it very sad, sad that people are condemned for who they love!!!
No my elbow doesn't hurt, I think you missed the point.
Once I helped someone I didn't smirk, smile, and pat myself on the back, or bend my elbow. What I did was get on with daily living. Helping people comes in all forms, not necessarily in money form, maybe just smiling at someone who is sad or having a bad day, people have done that for me. Maybe not kicking the dog when you have a bad day, things like that. Not too complicated. Just what we are supposed to do if we are raised right.
IN THEIR NATURE ?!?!?!!?!
It's attitudes like that that make them think they have a right to cheat, after all, Boys will be boys............ PLEASE
the nature of what you are looking for
? is it only what we wished we knew as a beginning MT, or every other aspect of the business too?
I know men cheat, its in their nature. I'm just saying
  They don't commit either, and when we get cheated on or rejected it hurts and its just difficult.  I wish they weren't like that, always wanting to go after something younger, better or sexier, but yes thats the way it goes.  Its awful.  Women get the short end of the stick in just about everything.  I'm not saying there are no good men out there, but for the most part, I just cannot ever trust one or give up my life for one ever again.  Its sad.  Guys can find committment and love easily but we women have to claw, grip and lose our minds to find it and hold on to it. 
Yes, I think it's human nature

I don't understand it, but it's nature.
Like any other pet, the owner should read up on them and educate him/herself about this particular kind of animal before getting one. If you separate them at the right time, they're fine. You just have to know how to take care of them.

I still think they're pretty. I love their colors and they're comical too - they just "vant to be alone".

LOL
Human nature

People generally don't talk about how happy they are on a regular basis. They tend to want to talk to others when something is bothering them, and focus more on the negative. So I guess it makes sense that you don't see a lot of posts that say "Ladeedah, how I love my job and what a stupendous day it is in the transcription world today!" The job is just a means to a happier life, not the definition of a happy life.


Personally, I feel honored that I am in this profession.  Not because of the money or the skill and intelligence that it requires, but primarily because it allows me to be home with my daughter instead of shipping her off to daycare every day for some stranger to screw up. That is why I will deal with the lack of raises, crappy dictators, periodic lack of work, mgmt that is too overworked to care, etc. To be with my baby all the time and still bring in a paycheck, however meager it may be.


Given the extreme nature of your anxiety
plus your other medications, I wouldn't mess with it. Just because it's "natural" doesn't mean there aren't any side effects. The warnings on RxMed say not to take with MAO, SSRI, tricyclic antidepressants or dopamine agonists.

For starters, St. John's wort causes skin photosensitivity, mucus membrane inflammation, and interferes with birth control pills. I don't know if that's a concern for you or not. Kava kava can cause skin reactions, pupillary dilatation, lack of skeletal muscle coordination, and may exacerbate depression.

There are some European studies out there indicating that St. John's wort is effective with mild side effects. Still, I'd avoid taking herbs period with your existing symptoms and medications.
oh you guys are so far out of touch with nature...

you think the whole world is Disneyized. You think the male buck stands over the baby deer and protects it, on his wife's behalf. You think Simba's daddy looks for him when lost. Nature is nasty and completely insensitive to feelings. The law is survival of the fittest. Even daddy seals come in and slaughter babies when they find out a rival fathered them. But go on...dream on your pretty little dreams. I notice the only babies ever really championed for are the cute fuzzy ones...go cuddle a rattlesnake, why doncha!


oh and ps I was not original poster who put this controversy on the board, now was I?


 


Because of my competitive nature, I would use it as incentive to
produce more and make more money.

I always like to know where I fall compared to other MTs - am I in the middle of the pack, on the bottom or on top. If I am not on top, than I would do my best to get there. That is just my nature. I strive to be the best that I can be, although sometimes we all fall short. No biggy!! Just do your best and produce what you physically can, and that will have to be enough for that particular day.

Just use the daily information as an incentive for yourself!

Good luck to you.
Snakes do a lot of good in nature, most are harmless.

Use mother nature's WOOD HEAT !!
and maybe get a down comforter for the back bedroom...
"It's all about me" - nature of the beast - literally

I used to let mine out too and thought nature was great -
Until he went missing and animal control brought him to me in a bag the next day! Who knows how long he lay in the road after he was hit by that car. It just breaks my heart thinking about it. My cats stay inside now and are very happy with their cat trees and toys.
Hope U are just baiting us and your nature isnt

Its human nature to impose on other people whats right for yourself!

Even when its not asked for.  Maybe some people like to surround themselves with nonsense and chaos, where as I like peace and quiet!  I think people who like working with other people are either pretending or just plain crazy! 


No - I do not want implants or a mastopexy - I was just wishing for nature to take care of it!
My breasts are of a nice size naturally. I am not vain - underwire bras are fine for me.


Tax guy told me because of nature of job and way computers outdate so quickly, could get new one
:+
I'm paranoid by nature, I guess. :) I agree that not all of the services out there are bad. SM

I've just not had much luck with any service and the one I spoke about above was the worst.  That was early in my career and I felt like I was pretty close friends with the supervisor and then to be treated the way I was treated, really just hurt.  Ever since then, I've distanced myself in my work life.  Business is business.


I will say, though, that I am a loyal person.  If I'm treated fairly, I will give 110%.  I think that's what happening these days in the MT world.  MTs aren't getting treated very fair and there are just bad feelings everywhere.  You're constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.  If a job offer is too good to be true, then it probable is too good to be true.  And now everyone is playing cover your behind and making sure contracts cover everything.  I just think MTs need to play hardball like the big companies.  If you are working as an IC, you should have a ready made contract for whatever service you contract with.  Why should you be the only one signing rights away?


I've also had the opportunity to read the contract between a big service and one of their hospital clients.  The line rate that this particular service charged was mind boggling.  I don't feel bad about stealing accounts away from services like that.


I agree Nature Sounds better than music.. IMHO.. NM

I didn't apply, so that's a moot point. The point I was making is that
she's ranting here about something that doesn't even pertain to most of us. You can't come to a MT message board railing at MTs without getting a response. That's why it's not called MTSOstars. Also, it's unprofessional of a business owner to let her emotions overrule her common sense. As for the newbies, they'll learn. We were all newbies at one time or another. None of us was born perfect, not even the MTSO.
The point wasn't that it was copyrighted. The point the poster tried to make
:(
It was rude in nature. 'Thanking' people for cherrypicking was uncalled for.
