I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Hi Everybody,

I think the site must be experiencing some tech issues, as I can't get to the last page in this thread.  Going to post this and see what happens.

hugs,

Bren

What is up with this thread today? I'm the last post on page 1815, but I see that there is a page 1816 and I can't get to it...

Thread won't go to the last page

Have been reading with fascination. 

I am going to post to see if I can move this to page 1816

I think they finally got the site fixed.  Maybe SomeOne put a hex on it.... 

Dear Members, we apologize for the site problems, we are aware of these issues and others, we are having technical difficulties, and the tech team is on it, hoping to have a fix soon as the problems have been all day.

Things seem to be functioning now, but not all, please be tolerant while the maintenance is continuing. Mods have been experiencing the same problems.

The Mods

Thinking this has quit working again, but seems it is fine.

Hi Everyone!

Thanks Mods ... it seems to be working now.

Morning Gals,

Already walked the dogs ... it the mid 80's and it's only 11:00 a.m.  Supposed to have thunderstorms this afternoon.

I have great news!  I have a job interview today for a psych transcription position.  As was the same with the other company I worked for, the pay is bad and the hours are long.  Guess anymore that's just the nature of this profession.  The company is India owned and that concerns me.  So much of our work is sent off-shore that we can't make a living wage anymore. And the vast majority of the dictators are ESL's so you can't get a good line count either.  I had really hoped to hear from the company that was paying an hourly rate ... at least you were guaranteed a certain amount that way.  At any rate ... a bad job right now is better than no job!

Pip ... I think on the previous page(s) the mods wrote a note stating that Sunny broke the discussion board rules.  I don't know which ones though.  She was pretty vocal about her displeasure with the way BCO was heading and how that jibed with their mission statement.  One of the gals was in contact with her and probably has more information.  I can't remember right now who she was talking to.  If anyone knows, I would really like to get her home address or email.

hugs,

Bren

Bren, I'm so glad to hear that you have had some job success.  I know what you mean about JUST needing A job and maybe taking conditions that are not what you'd really like.  Well, I guess you could always keep submitting resumes and otherwise keeping your eyes open for something better. 

Still having Sunny withdrawals.  Of course, I'm happy about being able to SEE everyone who comes to this thread, but got so use to sitting the batch of avatar sunflowers and the page looks  devoid of something because it really is. 

Going to be hot and humid here.....never thought I'd be praying for rain so early on in the summer, but would make things at least a little better here.  Such a strange yr. already.....but strange is and has been the new normal for a while.

Jackie

Sending strong vibes for either opportunity but hoping you actually will get some word from the one you have just described which is positive for you.  Jobs are good to have and I have lots of job energies being sent your way.  I'm going in a couple of minutes to meet with someone whom I'm likely to get some work from....though there has been reluctance about using a stranger.  It is just that I'm not a stranger to the daughter and son-in-law so we all still have hopes that we can make it work out.

Jackie

Thanks for writing Jackie!  I hope your meeting today was a success!

The job is not what I expected.  It's for VR (voice recognition) editing of the very same psych accounts I did for that last horrible company.  They pay 6 cents per edited line of VR.  It is very difficult, especially with the ESL dictators.  The position is an employee job, not an independent contractor like I am now.  The recruiter was over an HOUR late in calling me, but she was nice.  I asked her if I could take the  weekend to think about it.  She said no problem.  If I decide to go ahead, I'll have to take a written test on Monday.  It's not a transcription test per se, but a grammar, punctuation and terminology type of test.  ackkkk!

Thanks everyone for your comments.  I'm hoping I hear from the other job I applied for yesterday.  I'll let you  know what I decide when I make up my mind.

hugs,

Bren

One of the irresistible   ones :

Total blood-sucking creep.  Can't really get into someone who totally loves the mission of being as destructive as humanely possible in places where there is no basis.  Of course, there are a couple of people in denial about this capture...sigh.  Deny it all, but it won't make it any less valid or true.

Bren, that would not hurt.  Taking the test is not accepting a job, but just "attempting" to see if you could qualify.  That still gives some time ( albeit short ) for other possibilities to come into view.   Here's hoping.

Jackie

Quinn, so right.  I often think about the dis-service all the way to huge divineness and  destructiveness of the Tea publicans -- who could in fact take the cure.  I think it's called biting off your nose to spite your face.   Why would anyone be in such obvious denial.....money and power.  You hit the nail quite squarely.
