The older I get, the less able I am to tolerate these mush-mouthed, lip smacking, gum chewing, burping, toilet flushing dictators.  And those are the good ones that I've had lately which should give you any idea of how the rest of them are.  I so wish I could quit this lousy business altogether, but right now that's just not possible. 

I will now get off the soap box and let someone else have their turn.

My nerves are shot! - Sammie

Boy can I relate to your post....only have a couple of months left to have to listen to this garbage! I like hearing them urinate into a urinal, flushing and walking out the door -- no washing of the hands! My nerves are shot

you're as good as in there with them, tell - the idiots to wash their hands! nm

WELL SAID! ** READ THIS**

Found this in the Letters to Editor in AdvanceWeb.com. :   I feel compelled to voice my thoughts on the topic of credentialed MTs; the reason being I work with a fantastic group of MTs under my management. We work at a community hospital in a centralized setting; all departments dictate their patient records and we transcribe them. They are highly skilled, productive and accurate and simply the best staff to manage. Here are my thoughts. * Are Credentialed MTs better? If t ...

Good Morning MQ-ville. I was reading a posting below, started yesterday "Whadayaknow" and there were a couple of responses to the posting that I think are worth you reading. We should all be much more PROACTIVE in the auditing process and ask questions or if we disagree, tell them we do!  We should also not take BS sitting down!  I agree that too many of us have just accepted being fed crap because we've begun to feel "beaten down". I also am 'MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO ...

in the MT Stars archives a post entitled "MT's and Unions, and past mistakes:".  This was posted on 11/23/10.  I am contacting various union representatives, among other things.  The most important thing is to get the word out as much as we can about the unfair policies on MT's by various companies.  I know it can seem futile, but I think if enough of us communicate long enough, someone has to listen.  Thanks. ...

Just spoke to someone I know in TAA/Unemployement office.  FIRST TIME RIGHT is a gray area. We can fight this because it is a gray area. It is not right that if a doctor dictates and we cannot understand what they are saying for sure and we can get docked in pay, literally take money from us.  IT IS NOT LEGAL.   That is probably why the big bosses are on this board to see what they can get away with.  We have every right to fight them.  It is just wrong!  I WAS ...

My job is extremely stressful these days b/c of constant threatening e mails to the whole team by our manager.
