I swear, I usually get along with most people but this one is trying my nerves.  This lady did not get along with the other transcriptionists.  She claimed they made too much noise, their hand lotion smelled (even though it was unscented), they shook the cubicle too much, always a complaint.  So what the boss do? She moves me and the this whinny lady to a little office all to our own.  I wasn’t complaining.  Anyway, the only thing I hear out of this office lady is either bragging about herself or putting one of the other Transcriptionist down.   She does put atmosphere in our office.  I had to get up and go pee.  She gives me a dirty look.  I say “what.”  Then she says I have this psychiatric disorder that I have to get up and down too much.  Another complaint she had about the other office girls, they were in an out of the office too much, never sat still. 

Then, she starts complaining about this ESL she was transcribing for.  He is horrible, he needs to go back where he came from blah blah blah, I just chuckled a little.  SHE says “ITS NOT FUNNY, in-house employee.”  Then she starts in on how her neighbor in her apartment complex was making too much noise with his girlfriend last night.  I chuckled.  ITS NOT FUNNY, in-house employee. She had to walk further to her apartment.  I said why, she said “OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE HAD MY PARKING PLACE hospital employee.” Then she slammed something on her desk and went to typing.  I am sorry, I don’t know how to deal with this.

Thank you for the clarification.  It is apparent that one of two scenarios is happening here.   You are either charging too little of your client, undercutting all competition, or you are keeping too much of the profits for yourself!! 

Since you have direct contact with this client, why not train them to train the horrible, ESL, fast-talking dictator!!

BTW, I work the night shift, so the time I spend here is my own time, as if that is any of your business.

"Kuddos" is a very important medical word. 

I just started the overnight check thing this week and was curious how it worked.  I hate relying on it to come by snail mail, need it to be a little more dependable.  I have been with them for about 6 months now and really do enjoy it.  I have my own accounts and just have to meet the TAT (48 hrs).  The pay isn't the best but I finally like what I am doing again so it's worth it. 

I left my e-mail address this time, so you can email me if you want.

I edited quite a bit of work that she contracted out to an Indian company, which was horrible, and got paid the wrong amount.  Although she did make it right, I decided after just a few days this place was not worth my time and effort.  She talks the talk (looking to make a difference in the MT business, values people, etc.), but she does not walk the walk. 

I have had some seemingly unfortunate things happen that turn out to have been for the best.  We all have.  Miss a plane and the plane goes down.  Leave a job and find out those who stayed didn't get paid for the last month.  Lose out on a job and find out that was a pretty good thing.  Now you're still looking and available for some other opportunity.  It may take some time to pan out, but I'll bet you will eventually find out that it was a pretty good thing. 

My niece was running very late for work one day.  Very late.  Thought she would get fired from the hospital.  Turns out if she had been right on time she would have been on that bridge in Minnesota that collapsed.  Good lunck/bad luck.  It is not always so immediately apparent, but I do believe things often happen for the best. 

Hope this helps!
