Mouse Pad. - Neglected

[ In Reply To ..]
It's nothing I need or want. Not sure what the heck I'll do with it.

Have a USMC one that I picked up at my stepson's memorial service several years ago. He was piloting a CH-46 chopper than went down in the first 24 hours of the war. Chopper was older than he was, probably left over from Vietnam. Will NEVER give up my USMC mouse pad. Gold globe and eagle, purple background with lightning bolts. I'm just curious if it will have MQ on it. Just here because of my husband's pre-existing conditions and lots of meds. Maybe we can sell the nouse pads on Ebay for big bucks. Probably costs more to mail than it's worth. Years ago I got 11 cents for an incentive bonus (don't remember if that was for a pay-period, but I think it might have been for 3 months). That about killed any incentive. Seems like every bonus, weekend incentive has a gimmick and end up getting scrooged out of it, so don't even bother to try for extra. Don't expect much of anything from the Q after 13 years.

first, let me just say.... - I dont want it! nm

THANK YOU for your stepson's service to our country, and my condolences to you on his loss.

I was also wondering if it has the MQ logo. I'll bet it does. I'm just highly disappointed about MT week this year. They did so much to make it great the last couple years, and now nothing. The mouse pad is a joke. I don't even use mouse pads. But to not even mention MT week on MQCentral? Come on!

I'm working on my 9th year, and I've grown accustomed to the disappointments dished out on a regular basis. Still, it's really sad that they don't realize that without us, there is no Q. :(

seems strange - confirmation

it seems strange to me that they wanted all of us to verify our address by Friday, May 7th so they could get our special gift sent to us, and then can't even get it sent out in the right week!

Got mine yesterday. No MQ logo just "together we can" sm - MQMT

we can what? Make less money? Yep until big corporations realize it is the workers who make them their money things will never change. Plus what ever happened to treating people the way you want to be treated. Ever think of that MQ?

They didn't even spring for a logo? - mrs.krabs

Hmmm...CBay or MQ? Couldn't make up their minds. Sounds like brainwashing quote, "Together we can." Do what? Make you bigger bonuses? All go crazy together? Send all the work to India? Get rid of all American MT jobs? Corporate BS.

Maybe they got them used.... left over from some - politician"s campaign trinkets...... n/m

Well folks, I guess together we can throw it in the garbage. I can't use mine due to the condition it arrived in. Happy MT week!

I am just wondering if any of you are using a wireless mouse and how they are working for you? I currently use a wired mouse and have for centuries. Since I use mine more than most people, it seems, they do not last. I am having difficulty finding wired mouse any longer due to being outdated. I am hesitant in getting a wireless because wireless tends to slow me down with a second of lag. Those seconds add up and I am just wondering how beneficial they are. Any ...

I just got my second DEP ASR Productivity Results. If the person that has time to count mouse clicks, time spent away from keyboard, etc is reading this, then answer this, why don't you take into account time spent reading multiple client profiles, time spent reading sample reports to get information, etc? Do you not expect us to leave our chairs occasionally? I personally am more suited to using my mouse. A lot of the shortcuts just didn't work as well for me.& ...

I guess I am truly stupid. The numbers mean nothing to me. On my report they are gauged against nothing -- just with a goal to "improve." My lines were 197 per hour (which is incorrect and too high) and I guess my "corrected" number if I was worth my salt and editing properly is 297. Most confusing document they have sent me thus far. I would be angrier probably IF I COULD UNDERSTAND IT. ...

I got an email giving all the figures of how many keystrokes I had during a certain period of time (can't remember when for sure) and inactive time in an ASR job, etc. Do many of you only use the keyboard and not the mouse? I've tried to learn all the keyboard functions and for me it's a lot easier to use the mouse and I don't think that has slowed me down any. They're not telling me not to use the mouse but instead showing how many more keystrokes ...

I know the "push" is to use the shortcuts but it takes me twice as long to remove my hands from the keyboard to reach the arrow keys and alt+shift or ctrl+shift than to just click where I want to go with the mouse. I was just wondering if it's worth it to retrain myself to use those particular shortcuts. I tried creating my own but they will not work in our system. The other ones we have are fine but the cursor ones stink. ...

I'm looking for a company that leaves you alone if you choose to use the mouse and foot pedal instead of keystrokes.

Is every V.R. platform like this? ...

I know we are pressured to use only the keyboard--I guess bc it may be faster...not sure about that...but I just can't get used to that. I'm faster using the mouse, especially when navigating around a speech wreck report. Anyone else like this? Do they really care how we get it done? Has anyone ever gotten dinged by using the mouse too much instead of keyboard commands? I am sure they can tell exactly what we do on the keyboard. ...

Due to the slowness from Kapersky, pausing to pray (some hospitals do this), physicians talking with others in the background, physicians asking me to wait a minute (like I have a choice) and many other interruptions my idle time may be increased. All of these things have happened to me within the last week. Please do something about Kapersky. This should have no bearing on our ability to work--we can't be productive with this going on. ...

Hello, I have an HP Pavilion laptop. I'm having issues with my foot pedal and keyboard/mouse. I connect my foot pedal directly to USB port on laptop. I connect keyboard/mouse and headphones to USB HUB port. I continually lose foot pedal control. When I disconnect the keyboard/mouse, the pedal works again. Could this be a memory or hard drive issue (not enough). Do I need to externally add something to this laptop (just bought the laptop 3 months ago). Any advice or assistance would be ap ...
