Where is everyone this morning? I did not get my check. sm - ververyoldMT


Posted: May 10, 2010

Well, to the poster below in ESL garbage land, first let me say.  I too was in that same place 2 weeks ago.  An addition to my regular account, but it was all I was getting and NOT getting my OP notes at all.   The reports were not more than 20 lines usually, but I spent much, much time in trying to decipher and be FTR.  My CCM was very good about it, and told me it would be taken off and I would not have to do that account any longer.   Of course, I wish I had known that after I spent 4 days of my schedule and destroying my production.  I do feel for those who this particular account is their regular BOB. 

Now, for my second angst.  I DID NOT get my check direct deposited yet.  It is 11:30 a.m. in the EDT Zone.  My power is due by 3pm today or they are going to shut it off!!!   I have cried and cried for months now, squeezing and pleading with all my utilities and one creditor to work with me. 

Nothing else to say.  Don't tell me look for another job, I CANNOT.  And I am sure there are others of us MQ MTers who are in the same boat.  20 year employee (TL first), always done research on my jobs, QUALITY always was my motto.  Going back to college will not suffice, as I am too close to early retirement age, and I have too many health issues that prevent me from working from home.  PT 24 hours, so I won't get UI either I suppose.

God Bless all of you my coworkers.  I just needed to write my thoughts and angst down.  I am not a basher, nor do I want to be bashed back.

I did get paid today but my situation is even worse, if you can imagine. My rent is behind and it doesn't look good for my son and I.

whoops, I meant to say prevent me from working outside the home.. nm - ververyoldMT

again, I meant to say too many health issues that prevent me from working OUTSIDE the home. And don't even mention trying for SSD, we had to wait 3 years with no pay before my hubby could get his, and he really needed it. Only after he was lying in a pool of blood from internal hemorrhaging and spent 3 months in intensive care did the govt finally approve his disability. Once he got it, then he is told he can make up to $900 a month and still get the disability. Why did we have to wait for 3 years with only my poor paycheck to support us? Lost our home and he has had 2-3 surgeries a year since; not to include the fact I CANNOT get Adult Medicaid because we have no children in our home. No foodstamps because we make too much gross... The list goes on.

So, I just exist and continue to keep Faith in a morally deficit world. And to top it off, I am ALLERGIC to Peanut Butter and cannot have any type of wheat products (Celiac disease). Call me Jobette.

I maintain that it will be better sometime.. Continued strength and love to you all MTers wherever you are in the US...

Why do you say you cannot look for a new - job?You have a computer

right ? So get busy and test for other companies and go with one. You can research them on line, test, and interview for multiple companies . It's free. Just takes up time. I tested for 4 or 5, got 3 offers, one didn't want part-time, other was not hiring, chose one and have been a happy camper ever since. There are places out there with good work still--sure there is ESL everywhere, but most of it is do-able, not like the Q's ESL for some weird reason.
GOod luck !

Being an MT doesn't mean you have a - computer

[ In Reply To ..]
I would like to look for another job, but I am very limited because I don't have my own computer, and I especially can't afford one now with losing $12,000 a year with MQ.

OK, sorry. But other companies will also send - you computer and all

[ In Reply To ..]
ancillary equipment. Do the applications while you still have the MQ computer then. Again - sorry about the assumption.
which companies? only a few do; most require own equipment. - n/m

Always NJA In Morning
Jan 30, 2010

I'm getting so tired of having a report or two, then NJA, then while waiting another report comes, then NJA, etc., etc., early in my shift.  Sure, we have been encouraged to just check back later on and work then.  I really don't know why they suggest or even allow this to happen.  When you log on during another shift, all you're doing is taking work from those folks who normall work then.  They in turn are then told to work later too and this cycle of NJA just ...

I am sick to death of typing on accounts not in my BOB!  This is the 4th one already and I am only an hour into my shift. There are no samples in the repositry, there are no jobs that come up under the dictator look up feature... I keep stuffing down the Tums, wondering why in the heck I was forced to do weekend hours when there is no work in my accounts on the weekend. I HATE THIS.  How do you all do it?  Who put me in this "helper pool" in the first place? ...

numbskulls not realize there is a human being on the end of the dictating apparatus they are using.  It is absolutely disgusting, nauseating, rude and totally unprofessional.  If a physician went into a room to examine a patient smacking gum, it would be deemed totally unacceptable.  The same thing with carrying on side conversations, laughing, eating, burping, snorting, harking, spitting, coughing, et cetera.  They would NOT be in business very long.  Dictating that med ...

Had An Interview This Morning To Get Out Of MT

I haven't went to a formal interview in YEARS, but she kept saying how great my resume looked and she said a few times "WHEN you work here" but she would slip in "If you should be hired" sometimes.  She even asked me if I wanted to see "my" office and she seemed excited to show me and she gave me a tour of the entire facility.  That sounds promising, right?  I feel like I'm right on the edge of being able to get out of this horrid nightmare with not being able to pay my ...
