Why oh why is everybody so grouchy today? - Is it just today, or what?

Posted: Feb 03, 2013

it just seems that nothing can be said at all, no matter what the subject, without SOMEbody jumping on them and stating they are wrong, even when they know nothing about what is being posted. go watch the SuperBowel and get over it already! Tired of the conflicts!

Not grouchy! - Nick

I just spent a very productive day studying as I am oh so close to getting out of MT, which does make me grouchy but I'll deal with that tomorrow! I think I'll go pour myself a nice glass of wine and enjoy a nice dinner with my husband.

Regarding the Superbowl, I'm taping it on the DVR, not so I can watch the game, just the commercials. Since the Patriots are out, I don't really care who wins. I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday! :)

:) No doubt... - me

I am definitely going to copy and paste the post of an MT telling me where to go for requiring CLEAR DICTATION. LOL!

I hope Karma gives her exactly what she wants, and she gets every terrible dictator there is.

Oh no you didnt - push the karma wagon on me

Whatever... anyone you reads your posts can see what Im talking about. That is all I have to say.

Grouchy - Grouchy

I'm definitely grouchy today. I do not like what seems to be a very autocratic authoritarian adversarial management style of this new Mmodal supervisor. Take note, Mmodal, you are not any more loved than you were in your previous manifestations. Your brand new abbreviation needs to be told to tread lightly and carry a very small stick, carrots would be better.

Hhhmm, sounds like my new abbreviation. You on Fluency - or brought-out platform? nm

tee hee, giggle, giggle

I haven't posted here today, but I'm grouchy - because

I'm still working (going on 9 hours) because I'm the only one on my account who seems to care that we still have reports that are due soon. On top of that, I can barely hear my reports because my dear husband and his buddies have the Super Bowl blaring in the other room while they yell at the TV. To top it all off, I have to pause my work to go pick up the pizza in a few minutes because I'm the only one who hasn't had a beer. Sigh.

This is totally out of my nature, but sm - natural born grouch

I woke up depressed today - 'cause I have to work tomorrow. Then, I started cutting out some butterflies from cardboard, and my sister dropped by, so then I felt kinda good. Except for the part where I had to lie down on the couch, and then lie down upstairs, 'cause my energy is gone. Then I had to cry a little, 'cause I might not be ABLE to work 5 days a week - I'll HAVE to quit my 5 day a week job, 'cause I literally don't have the energy to do it. I could barely cut out a cardboard butterfly today. I tried to meditate, but my acyclovir kept throwing up bizarre yet intriguing images across my imagination.

Then I woke up, and now I've got AT LEAST a piddly 4-hour-a-week (yes, 4 HOURS)lined up. And there are other jobs out there.

So, no grouchiness in my corner of the world.

By this time in the day, usually, there has been at least 7 emails - several from QA, at least 2-3 backlog updates, and 1 reminder to work our shift and work our entire shift. ...

My work is normally about 97% ASR, today I have only had 1 ASR job. I'm not complaining, quite the opposite actually. I'm just curious if anyone else is getting less ASR work today. I was hoping it was down and we can expect a day or two of straight typing. ...

Unable to log on because DQS needs to be updated. Then can't update on DocuManage because there's no link. They tell me they someone will call back and help me, but they have no way of knowing when. This would definitely qualify for technical downtime, am I right? Anyone else having this issue today? ...

DQS is driving me crazy today. When I push the pedal, it takes a couple seconds to start playing. If I let off the pedal, it keeps going for a couple seconds and I can't get it to stop. The typing I am doing does not keep up with my finger speed either, with words not showing up until after I've typed them. I use my own computer and have never encountered this issue before. It is a major hindrance though, slowing me down. What's next? ...

Typing that last report, signing out for the last time.....it was all very surreal. I still can't believe I actually left. Sad though because I wasn't offered anything PT (not that I would had taken it), and nobody said "we'll be happy to take you back". AND....no exit interview. Guess I thought they appreciated me more than that. Oh well. Some of my friends wished me well and will miss me. Thats all I need. ...

Horrendous, absolutely horrendous. It felt like I was editing an ASR report. If they are all like this one, then I have no worries about losing my job to the Indians because once the clients see the garbage that is coming out of there, they will be begging for the USA. ...

Since my shift started a little over an hour ago, I have blown out my hair, cleaned the bathroom, made a dentist appointment and paid some bills! Whew! Looking for what to do next because it sure doesn't look like I'll be doing any typing this morning. NJA all day so far! Weeeeeee!!!!! (Sorry, just needed to try to make some humor out of it). Hope everybody has a great weekend! ...

I get so fuming mad about all these things that are going on at Nuance and with our careers and livlihoods, the lies and deceitful practices of this company that came along and gobbled up all the MTSOs and made my life a nightmare. I am the type of person that wants to fight for what is right and make my voice heard. Why such a company could come in and treat the employees the way Nuance does. I fell that if I try to fight I will just get myself into major trouble. ...

I have not posted on this site for a long, long time because there is so much negativity on here and stuff that was posted that is simply untrue. Not sure why anyone would stay with a company when they are so unhappy and then good people get laid off. Today I got the call, about 3 hours into my shift. I knew something was up as my caller ID never says Medquist on it. My TSM's voice sounded really awful and all she could say was I am sorry to call with bad news but you have ...

Noticing this a.m. really BAD. Putting in a lot that is NOT said and leaving out what IS said. As if our job isn't aggravating enough. More typing than editing. ...

After over 25 years as an MT, I'm not going to lie, I am a little sad. However, MT is not what it used to be. It served me well for about 20 years or so before it started to go south. I did manage to avoid VR, but it was only a matter of time. I recently completed school (again) and I am starting a new career. I know many people think it can't be done on the wages MTs have been reduced to, but I am living proof that it actually can! I continued working as an MT while I was in sc ...

This is my first year working at home for a company (I worked as an MT for 6 years in a hospital) so I am new to all this not having work stuff. No work over the weekend and today. Is this normal? This never happened to me at the hospital. Now I am freaking out! ...

So our CCM emails us saying when our work dries up there will be a certain account that we will help out on (as we have in the past). She apologizes, saying she knows this is a very "difficult account, but we need to leave as few QA markers as possible." This just rubs me the wrong way. She's right--it's difficult alright--- but not in the way she is implying. She implies it's difficult because of the "difficult" terminology used in all the cardiac cathete ...

It seems like every report I do today has an idiot on the other end. I just had a doctor dictate "Medications (really long pause) 750 mg p.o. b.i.d. x5 more days." Really? It'd be nice if you said WHAT medication that is! I swear, ALL of them have been like that today. They either drag on forever and forget what they're even saying or they just leave off half of the word because they think I should just know what they are saying/thinking without having to hear ...

I spoke with a counselor/advisor who was extremely helpful. They gave me a couple of tests, personality and skill tests to see what I want do in life.

Hi! This is how I feel today. Sometimes my account (not MD-IT) has so much work we are chasing our tail. However, this week has been really slow so I am looking for a new full-time home and I'll stay with the old place part-time. To that end, any word on MD-IT? I just would like to sit down at X o'clock and put in 7-8 hours and be done. I really hate babysitting the computer for a dang job???!!! In here three hours already and only have 200 lines Thanks for hear ...

I just received notice that my line rate is decreasing 1 cpl. A year and a half ago it had dropped 1 cpl also... and all as an IC. This will hurt. But what to do? I will stay as it is good work, good management, I know most of the accounts.... some are buggers though.. Only 7-1/2 years until I can retire to at least part time... hope I can survive until then. No way can I put in anymore hours than I already am. I am hoping for an after-school babysitting job ...
