I never thought I'd say this, but a dictator can do too much spelling. There is one at my company who spells out every single medication.

I've been keeping a Notepad document running of all my job numbers in order to confirm Fiesa feedback (sometimes they get the wrong MT, had that happen 3 times so far, so you need to check that if a correction is not familiar to you) or whatever issues might come up.

Just wondering if some don't bother with this and ...

My actual ASR lph and what they say I could do if there wasn't any "inactive" time is usually almost double. I have no idea how I can humanly close that gap. And yes, I am not using the dreaded mouse. I put my nose to the grind stone with absolutely no inactivity due to doing anything other than edit, and yet, I still come up with the lph they report I am doing rather than what they think I should be able to do without any inactivity. Interesting that this time they had a mouse click re ...

I guess I don't really NEED to know but it's one of those things that seems to be some big secret, we're supposed to be a "team" but on what team do the players not even know how many are on the team much less not know anyone else on the so-cal ...

I have been an MT for many years doing the same work for the same company. Now, all of a sudden, I am out of a job and starting to test for companies. I think I have picked up lots of bad habits and also conformed to the client's wishes. Now, I feel as if I don't know anything for sure.

The account I am on has high ESL also, but even without that, I can't seem to get values correct 100% of the time to save my life.
