Here's another example. In Boston, this government worker recently got arrested for bank robbery. Not only did she not immediately lose her job but she actually got PROMOTED a month after the arrest! I can't make this stuff up. Go to the link and see for yourself.
The next Jack Nicholson !
I had a funny encounter with the subject of medical transcriptionists recently.I saw my cardiologist for a routine follow up visit.A week or so later he e-mailed me a copy of the note he placed in my chart.In it he made reference to my "prostitution".Stunned,I said to myself..."wait a minute,he and I have *never* discussed that subject...I don't recall either of us *ever* having uttered that word during my visits".I e-mailed him asking about it and he wrote back very apologetically.He said that he was making reference to my prostate and the auto correct feature in his program (he does his own "transcription") offered "prostitution" and he accepted it without realizing what had happened.We both got a laugh out of it.
I used to edit court reporters’ documents. They’d frequently type things like, “My butt hurts” or “This attorney is a real jerk.” I’d be careful to take those comments out, of course. And unlike the court reporter in the story, they also got down all of the testimony.
I can’t beat that one but I know of one state drone that works at university here in SC somehow has done all kinds of things including keying cars on state property at least once. Guess what, he is apparently loved and somehow untouchable.
The guy is a left over hippie looking type that is usually in his own world.
He was fired from a state agency a few years before he got the university job. His antics there were still talked about and it took a couple of years to fire him by a person who wanted him gone. The funny thing was the hippie was the only guy the manager fired ever.
You’d have to be insane to get into that kind of mindless work...
As others have pointed out, audio recordings are made. Typed transcripts make it much easier to review testimony. You can read typed transcripts much faster, than it takes to listen to audio recordings.
I quit last year. Since November I've been walking around telling everyone how much I love my job. It's great.
Guessing that he’s a Flaming Gay.
It might be a good thing then if you’re filing an appeal, because you then get a second bite at the apple.
Yeah, this guy should have quit and he should be punished. I can empathize with him though being once in a job I despised.
That’s like kids in English class who write somewhere in every assingment, “I hate your effing class Mr. Johnson. You are such an a-hole and a flaming fag as well. You suck, for sure,” and they get an A- grade.
