beginning tomorrow - whatever it takes

Posted: Feb 23, 2013

beginning tomorrow, I will be working any time, any day, whatever it takes to get my hours/lines in. There is work in the afternoons and on the graveyard in my region and I will be there. Whatever it takes.

Why not ask - your TSM for

[ In Reply To ..]
a shift change and/or what days of the week you work? I am not trying to be mean. It is just that I was told by my TSM that "they" (assuming higher ups) are watching "things" very closely. I wouldn't want to see anyone get in trouble.

not the OP but if "they" - are watching things

[ In Reply To ..]
so closely, then they realize the NJA situation. Not trying to be mean either but I so don't care what "they" think or watch. I need to pay my bills. I'm gonna work when there's work.

Puleeze, this ship will be here long after you are gone. - nm

Be careful of burnout. - sm

I've been doing that for about three years and it has consumed my life as I'm unable to do anything for any length of time. Also, once you start doing that, they expect you to be flexible and continue with it.

At this point, I get plenty of work, but I get the bottom of the barrel during my scheduled shift and then get offered the easy stuff for OT, which of course I have to take in order to make my line counts.

I only need to get through the summer - whatever it takes

[ In Reply To ..]
I've been fortunate that I have not had to use my PTO for NJA. I intend to take a vacation this summer and use up my PTO, and as soon as I'm back from that, it's time to get off this sinking ship.

Sounds like a plan then - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm trying to get off this boat myself. I'm one of the more fortunate ones here in that I usually have plenty of work but the hoops I have to jump through to get it are wearing me out. So, like you, I have an "out" planned.

I'm so burned out with MT (not just MModal) it's not even funny. As far as jobs go, this one hasn't been bad so far so I'll stick with it until I can get out of MT altogether.

beginning tomorrow - noworkmt

My supervisor sends out emails that we are not allowed to make up work until she gives the okay, which never happens because there is never any work.

I got the email - from my supervisor...

[ In Reply To ..]
I need to start rearranging my hours due to no work. Hmmm. MModal/Titanic? I plan to be on one of the life boats, thank you very much, and I don't plan on being rescued by another MTSO ship in the distance.

I love this thread! - lol

I haven't laughed this hard in ages. Some people here are so comedically gifted, you should be comedy writers. Such fun, such wit! Thanks for the laughs.

We have to - laugh

[ In Reply To ..]
to keep from crying! LOL

Me too - me

I'm sitting here laughing too, but unfortunately it's all so true!

This has always bugged me. It looks better with P.R.N. (all caps) at the beginning of a sentence, instead of P.r.n. (just first letter cap'd). Also, P.O. or P.o. at the beginning of a sentence. 1. Bactrim. 2. P.R.N. or P.r.n. fentanyl. 3. P.O. or P.o. steroids. 4. Potassium. Any suggestions? Thanks! ...

No replies to Oncall for 6 -7 cpl. Look down a few ads and see the pathetic one put on by Lee Perfect. She cannot get anyone to type and says "sad but true." It just may be that the time for the MTSOs has arrived, meaning that sooner than may have been expected they will be begging for MTs to come to work for them and it will fall on deaf ears and very still fingers. I think most of us who have been in this profession for years have "finally had it." We are either stayin ...

I was always taught to spell out numbers at the beginning of a sentence. Does this apply even if that number is technical and larger than ten? For example, would you type "25-mm sections were obtained." -- OR -- "Twenty-five-mm sections were obtained." Thanks in advance. ...

Does anybody know if there is a keyboard shortcut to get back to the beginning of the audio? With 6.whatever you just went back to the beginning of the text and then did control m to put the audio there and went to the beginning because of the skip markers, now with no skip marker, it only goes back to where the actual report starts, not the beginning of the ADT, if it will go back at all. I like 7 way better in all other aspects, but having to manually slide the audio back over with ...
