I don't know if this has been mentioned before but - where are the snowflakes?

Posted: Dec 20, 2013

Every December, MT Stars would have snowflakes falling down the screen and they kind of cheered me up. Is there a reason we don't have them again this year?

Snowflakes - Just me

I personally found them annoying as all get out! Glad they did not do them this year.

I miss them too. - not sure what happened.

the snowflakes were slowing/stalling some viewers' computers, or causing problems with pop-up blockers, etc.

a lot of problems, visual disturbances, emotional distress and computer glitches. I always hated them and hope they never return.

emotional distress? - seriously?

some have never recovered from the trauma of having to watch those snowflakes.

I wonder if there is a - Snowflake Survivor group?

As the snowflakes fell ... - Traumatized

On my tablet, as the flakes fell, they erased the text they passed over. Like rain running down a window. I had to read real fast to stay ahead of them. I couldn't post because they would blot out parts of the posting window and obliterate the buttons. (I couldn't even post to beg for their removal!)

On one desktop computer, they froze in one place, blotting out what they were over. I had to reload the page and hope they would start out someplace else so I could read the parts I missed.

On another, they caused the browser to crash. The antivirus software hated them.

It seemed to get worse every year. I dreaded December.

To make matters worse, I felt guilty about asking for them to be turned off.

PTSD - Post Traumatic SNOWFLAKE Disorder? - I think it is more likely SCROOGE

I generally do not post, but HAD to respond to PTSD and snowflakes - that is rich!

Darn, you beat me to it! - sm

...I can't say they caused me emotional distress. However, I found them quite annoying.

There have been recent posts on here regarding a company who wants you to have a certain version of software installed before you can work for this company. I had several discussions with said MTSO, who stated that he would pay for it and take it out in increments from my paycheck. Unlike other MTSOs, who may send via the internet and snail mail, they send paperwork via snail mail. I called earlier in the week to see if it had been recieved "no, and we will call you ...

I took a test the other day to apply for an MT job and the doctor loud and clear gave the patient's name. The dictation was a consult. When the doctor mentioned the name of the hospital, I heard a beep, but when then the patient's name was stated I heard it. I hope those are fake dictations that we test on. If that was real information, I do not want to go there for help. ...

and my teenage son, who has witnessed many meltdowns that I have had working for MM, was in earshot and simply said, Mom, wouldn't that be like marrying an abusive boyfriend? His analogy was right on if you ask me! I have been sending out resumes, actively looking for another job and when I saw this I thought that it sounds great and is a very generous offer but in the end you will still be working for Mmodal who expects everything and gives nothing in return.
