I have been doing a lot of reading and I really hoped it would do well with just voice files.  Thanks for sharing.  I am looking forward to the reducing the noise factor as well.  Can't wait to get mine! Will get it possibly by Monday. 

Well, aren't you just grand! Wow! You have three whole years in at your company! Boy!  I have about 20 at mine - does that make me grander than you? Or at least MORE responsible?? Or fabulous? Your post makes no sense - why am I answering?  Who knows!  If conditions are deplorable at a new job, shall MTs stay to cover the cost of our training? Feel sorry for the poor company?  That's what you are saying, and I think you are TOTALLY WRONG. I think most MTs would agree with me. An IC can't try out a job with a doctors' office to see if its a "fit"??? She'll be IRRESPONSIBLE?  Talk about sounding like you're management.  Is this Lee??? Since you are now calling me on my character, I can assure you that the company I was trained for totally misrepresented the job to me on hiring me.  Had I known the truth, I would NEVER have accepted their offer.  You are calling me irresponsible - I assure you, I am the complete opposite, though shall I debate it with you?  I'm so responsible, I'm boring. But I am also learning to stand up for myself, INTERVIEW THESE COMPANIES BACK, asking everything from A-to-Z upfront (which still doesn't help), and NOT stick with a creepy new job more than a few months because it cost THEM $$ to hire/train me.  What about the MTs??? So many of us lose big $$ by trying a new job.  Read the posts on here daily - companies that promise to pay training pay, and then don't. Or they word it ever so cautiously, so you THINK you're gonna get paid X amount, but you don't.  Or the companies like a large national who FAIL to mention that you might not get your computer set up (provided by them) and actually running for a week or two, waiting for techies to get their act together, while the poor MT sits there INCOMELESS.  Or the companies who fail to mention that for the first solid 2 weeks of employ, you will be on 100% QA hold with a maximum of 5 jobs per day. Nothing based on quality or experience - no exceptions - just "the rules".  Wow! I can really feed my kids on that $$!  Or the account they promise will be like 50% ESLs and a "great one" turns out to be the squat account from you-no-where that NOBODY will type.  Or they hire you at 9 cpl, with bennies at certain production, and you find later that NO ONE EVER meets the line counts, thus, no bennies!  Which is why you took the job!!  And, by the way, did you NOT read the fine print that says your cpl rate plummets if you DON'T hit 2000 lines per day? Gee, didn't the recruiter mention that??? Please. I could go on and on, and we're supposed to be RESPONSIBLE and worry about the company's costs?? Give me a break!  Spend the months and months on end literally that I have interviewing, testing, and being hired by several of these companies NOW and then you'll more than understand why my attitude is not sympathetic to those who hire us. I've been told I'm the best thing since apple pie, a shining example of what an MT should be, and offered 6 cpl!! Ha!  Unreal. I am responsible, and would like the same from these potential employers. I also would expect a modicum of respect from my fellow MTs, even those with "fabulous" jobs.  I can assure you - fabulous jobs can disappear literally OVERNIGHT.  Happened to me and about 10,000 other MTs, or rather 9,9999.  Thanks for the support. If you ever hit the job market, save me email and write me.  I can save you the time and effort by steering you clear of at least a dozen companies.

Sure they were done by Elvis, but she could have picked better songs, and she could have done better with the ones she picked.  People complain that the guys should have done a Bette Midler week, but I could just see Elliott doing Wind Beneath My Wings, or Taylor doing The Rose...they would just have to pick songs that best suited them from that artist and then just do a great job. She should have tried Love Me Tender.

I have never heard of them and they sound kinda metal to me.  What category does INXS fall into?     I said I know very little about the music that these people are singing for the most part.  Is Nirvana metal? 

Thanks.

Here's a link to a focaccia bread recipe.  I've never tried it, because I bought this from a bread store this morning.  The loaf I bought has onion, spinach, garlic, sundried tomato, parmesan cheese, and herbs on top.

Jerk seasoning can be used on most meats.  You can buy sauces or make your own rub.  Look for either Caribbean or Jamaican jerk.  KC Masterpiece makes a good spiced Caribbean jerk marinade.  It's got molasses, soy sauce, onion, garlic, spices, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, red pepper, hot pepper, and pineapple puree.

if it's hot and you don't want to use the oven.  I do a "golfer's special".  Line a cake pan with tin foil, put the roast in, and add cut up carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery.  Sprinkle it with onion soup mix or beef gravy mix, close the foil, then bake until done.  It can also be done in the crockpot.

You can cube your roast to make shish kebabs slathered in BBQ or some other bold tasting sauce.  Skewer new potatoes, onions, mushrooms, squash, red peppers, and whatever other veggies you like.

You can cut up the roast either before or after cooking, stick it in the crockpot with some beef broth, let it cook all day, then serve as French dip sandwiches on steak rolls with au jus.  Fries, salad, or chips on the side.

Sometimes I just sit here and Google for recipes when I'm bored and can't think of what to cook for dinner.  Type "rump roast recipe" on Google without quotes to see what else comes up.  You can narrow your search by adding "BBQ" or "crockpot".

Thanks.

It is strictly up to the agreement between the employer and the insurance company.  Your new employer can tell you what the pre-existing clause is in your new policy.  Some require proof of insurance for the past 12 months.  It may say something like if a diagnosis has not been made NOR treatment received within the last __ months.  Not good when companies negotiate with a pre-existing clause in order to get a lower rate.  Better check with your HR with your new company before doing anything.  It really gets hairy !

I'm considering asking for a trial at it, wish me luck!

Because MT is a tiny community and we share the misery well.

I understand what you're saying (and it sucks to be in the situations you were in) but I do believe that if we are adequately vigilant we'll know what we need to.  OTOH, then there's me, and I don't care what they do as long as there's work.  So I get where you're coming from.

I just would like to see an end to the destructionist thinking about MTSOs and MT in general.  :)

Good discussion!
