let me know whether or not I passed the test or that they filled the position already!  Oh well, I suppose it was good experience! :)

The good new is, I was offered a position with 2 other companies (Echo and The Word Pros) and was able to accept both as The Word Pros is a p.r.n. position (sort of like a temp agency--you take work only if you want to).

I hope you love it at PMSI! 

Just Me

I am happy to see someone get a raise for a change even though it should have been more that what they gave.

I currently work for Spheris and it seems nobody ever gets a raise no matter what.

I tried to paste my resume on their website but couldn't, so I just emailed it to the HR dept and put MT position in the subject line. Did you have any problem with this?

Also, I see people saying about not having to punch a time clock. Do you work when you want and just have a minimum quota to meet or do you have to give them a schedule?

I hope things go well for you.  Now about the insurance question - pregnancy is not a preexisting condition.  You are correct that Bush (or was it Clinton) changed that policy several years ago.  I got pregnant in 2002 and had an individual policy at the time that I was no longer eligible for due to income guidelines.  Fortunately, I was eligible for group coverage through my provider at the time and it went into effect 13 days before my baby was born.  Talk about cutting it close.

I can't offer you much info in regards to places with good insurance plans as my  husband carries the benefits now, but I thought I would chime in on the preexisting question.

As for the others on the board who are you knocking about being pregnant, some people just derive joy from making other people hurt.  I'm 34 with 3 kids and had a tubal after my last.  I wish now I hadn't and would love to have 1 or 2 more.  I relish your opportunity.

I am also one of the few I guess, who does like the DQS platform and am making more lines per hour, now over a year on it, no where close to your line count though

But, what amazes me is the total inconsistency, once again, between the various MQ offices.  Been with MQ for 11 yrs now, I also work evenings and weekends, starting at 11pm and make the majority of my lines on weekends, yet you started out at 9.5 and I'm only getting 8 cpl ? My office does not know what a raise is and had quite a few lay off's after losing a huge teaching hospital account, so even asking for one, some of my fellow MT's have been looked at like they are asking for zillions.

Your starting line rate at 9.5, is quite frankly and not rudely, hard to believe or swallow for just this reason...many many of us have been there/done that and are not making the same rate. 

I truly congratulate anyone who can get the rate they need to survive on w/o giving up life itself, but I'm thinking you should enjoy and make the most of it because, unless they will be bumping thousands of us up in cpl, once (and if) the threatened new line rate comes out along with the "new consistency nationwide) across all the offices, you may find that line rate out the window, which would be wrong of them to do so.  They promise and I hopehave realized because of all the legal issues, that they DO need one game plan across the board, bene's, salaries, CPL, bonuses, PTO, etc, etc. to be fair and consistent.  But, to make it this way, there will be some or even many of us MQ MT's that will be unhappy.  I hope not, but with MQ, ya never know. 

The latest Qnews on yet again, problems with their filing with the SEC does not look promising for any bright future with pay for us measly pions who are the backbone of the company, but it would be nice to fantasize that corporate would realize if they make us happy by providing us a way to make a decent living w/o turning off our life support, then the MT's could be so instrumental in their "forward looking statements"..geee and I'm not even one of the new suits making the mega millions ..

I just happened to troll through the QNet reading this and noticed that NO ONE has asked FRANK any Q's since May?  Wonder why that is? Maybe the legal suits have advised him to not take any more ask frankie baby Q's as God forbid, someone could bring another class action in that area.  Sorry ladies, was a very long night full of any and all ESL's not even off the boat..did I have problems with them...nope..made my best lines on them (even though I felt wiped for one of them because it seemed to take all his energy just to dictate the reports), it was the dang lilly white good ol boys who I will call Tigger & Piglet because one kept hopping all over, while Piglet would stop, studder, shuffle, walk to one side of the trauma bay on the other side of the room from the phone...then run back at 90 mph to say the next word, therefore making me a great candidate for sign language now
