open message to the lady formerly known as Kimbelina - Snow Bunny


Posted: Nov 13, 2009

I think you get the award for riling the most feathers with a single message.  

I think you were born about 20 years too late. You would have been really good to have at some anti-war rallies I went to.  Cool

formerly .... hehe. - nm

of MTs in "offshoring". Wow!

Your post on the "Offshore Concerns' board

===================

actually, no, you didn't comprehend it correctly - Snow Bunny

Facebook was relating a situation and expressing and asking a simple question: "Did this happen to anyone else?" No more and no less.

What I found interesting was their adding the statement about the Indian's attitude. It's very scary.

And with the way the MT line rate has been reduced over the last 30 years, coupled with the extreme difficulty of getting jobs with American-based companies (lots of messages in that regard), I wonder how many MTs would be willing to subcontract to Indian companies.

Believe me, your principles will fly right out the window in the face of being homeless and hungry.

Wow!
Unbelievable!



I'm not advocating anything - Snow Bunny

And what's unbelievable is the fact that everybody has a death grip on THEIR belief system. "I'm right and you're wrong." Message after message ...

What I'm basically saying is ... "No matter how strong or right you may THINK your argument is, the person on the other side has an argument that is just as strong and just as right." --- And that is directed at BOTH SIDES.

That was the entire point of saying what I did. Both sides are right, and both sides are wrong. No more and no less.

Next time around ... why not just ASK why I was coming from both sides instead of making assumptions.

Really? Read the last sentence in your post...sm - does not matter

"Believe me, your principles will fly right out the window in the face of being homeless and hungry."

I cannot believe what you are saying here:

What you are saying is that being homeless and hungry justifies immoral actions!
How far would you go and where would you draw the line?
Think that is bad... - X

An Eracible Lady

Has anyone ever heard of a description of someone as erasible (pronounced ee-ras-ible).  I've never heard it just can'f find anything. - The whole setence is - The patient is a very "eracible" lady and has no patience for young punk doctors such as myself".  I'm thinking mean or irritable or something like that, but just not finding anything.   Tx. ...


To The Lady That Started Her Own Company

You know who you are. You even asked questions on this board about setting up an MT company.   You have even stopped answering/reading e-mails, even though I have not harrassed you or have even been nasty.  I would, however, like to get paid.  Your excuses that you are waiting for lines counts from the client and that you will keep me updated is wearing thin.  Surely you must have line counts by now since the work was done in February.  Or is it because you have spe ...


Has The Fat Lady Sung? 95% Accuracy.
Sep 12, 2011

I had a conversation with my personal physician today.  He was using a laptop throughout the course of my exam. I questioned him as to whether this was EMR. He stated that it was.  His entire practice has converted to EMR in conjunction with front-end speech recognition.  This is the part that knocked me off of my feet--he stated that the physicians in the practice consistently get 95% accuracy in the drafts that present on the screen for them to edit. Note: They are editing the ...

Open Note From An MME
Feb 13, 2010

I have come on this site for awhile, mostly because this is a place where everyone gets what you do and can understand what you're going crazy over. Try telling your neighbor the ESLs are getting to you today and you get what I mean. However, since I have become an MME (in October), this has become a not so friendly place. I love doing QA work. I have been in this field for 20 years and feel I can and do help MTs out. When I make a correction, it's to give the MT some feedback, ...

Anyone hear any rumblings yet about Open Enrollment?  Last year at this time we were already sent emails to "get ready" for it...so far this year, nothing.  I heard that other companies were making the spousal/partner "penalty" for not taking insurance was going to go up to $500!  We are now paying $100/month...let's hope that won't be the case, as that would essentially be one of my paychecks.  Wonder what surprises are in store for us.  Maybe we won' ...

I would like you to understand that I work because I have to, not because I want to.  I was hired for a specific shift, yet there is no work on that shift.  I have to flex sometimes up to 12 hours a day to get my required line quota or take a chance on not having benefits, please understand that I do have a life other than working for your company.  My question I guess is why do you overhire?  I know this is a 24/7 business but if you did not hire so many people then the work ...
