I drink one just about every day. Helps with periods. sm

The soy actually makes my periods shorter and less cramps, which is a HUGE deal to me.
I'm not using them for weight loss, just as a high-protein, low fat meal or snack, especially on days that I do weight training.

Did she drink on the job? How do
you know she's a drunk? I see you haven't posted any answers to questions or comments. Whoever she is must have said the honest truth ------ drunk or no drunk. You're cruel. Wish I knew what posting you are referring to. I would E-mail the MT and find out what company you work for.
ooh.. I would take that massage and drink
x
I'll drink to that
:)
Did you drink your username. MT6pack?..nm
nm
You left out *eat a ham sandwich* and *drink a beer*. sm
(wink) - Gotta have those!
Does WMX still have you "clock out" for every drink of water, snack, or pee break you take? No
s
Thank you, I am young. Do NOT drink alcohol if you take Xanax, dummy..
MT advanced to a recruiter, LMAO !
From of the tone of these posts, perhaps an early morning drink would be in order. sm
I'm not saying I do not sympathize with the no-work situation. I have been gone from TT for almost 2 years now, and it happened back then (without the holiday as an excuse) and will continue to happen will be my prediction. Being called sweetie and told you rock doesn't butter the bread.
You have the right idea, though ... relax, enjoy the holiday. I plan an afternoon on the patio relaxing with a friend and some margaritas ... hold the omelet and bring on the guacamole. 
MDI-MD pay periods
Would anyone be willing to share how MDI-MD payperiods work? Every two weeks, 1st and 15th? Or is it something different?
TIA
It has been 1 space after periods
since the new Style Guidelines took effect or affect, Ha Ha and make sure you do not use your expansions. If they say COPD you cannot expand it; and what about making lists of everything from meds to past history, etc. etc. Anything to not pay you for those lines.
Oh and don't forget it is x2 not the word "times". That would be too many characters on the line and we cannot pay you for that.
What horse will you be traveling on. I'll be going with ya.
Pay periods run from the 1st through the 15th, and sm
the 16th through the end of the month. They have a LOT of different accounts, so I don't think there is any way to comment on the ESLs. Like anywhere, it will vary from hospital to hospital. And yes, line count is attainable with FT work. Hope this helps. I'm happy there!
They have slow periods also
x
Hmm. Do you have a lot of periods when you have no work? nm
nm
ask about pay periods, I worked for them for a
short time and it took about a month to get first check.
MXSecure pay periods
Can anyone tell me how the pay periods run?
Stay where you are. We all go through slow periods

EMTS lines and pay periods
Pay days are the 10th and 26th. Depending on the platform, you may not get you lines in 8 hours, you may need more. They are flexible though. If you manage to get done with the minimum, they don't bother you. Good luck.
The pay periods end on the 15th and the last of the month. sm
As the other poster said, generally we are paid witihin a week after that. I think the latest I have received my pay was on the 10th. It is true that it is a bit odd not having a set pay date, but at least I can sure I will be paid. I read horror stories on here of companies giving bad checks or not paying at all, and it makes me cringe. I am my sole support, so if I do not get paid, my world turns upside down in a hurry.
If you are considering working for them, I wouldn't let that back me off if I was you. They say the techs are working to fix it so that the line count doesn't have to be done manually, so perhaps in the future, it will be better. 
When I get No studies - it is usually for short periods (sm)
Sometimes I clock out, balance my check book, check E-mail and there is work. Other times I sign off and flex my hours that day. Doesn't happen often.
I think on the weekends when there is OT authorized by our STM for the weekend they need to have someone check and make sure, if the number of jobs are WAAAAY down, cut off the OT authorized sign so those who are scheduled to work can do so.
I know it has to be hard to please the client and the MTs. I am certainly willing to flex for them as they are willing to flex for me when I have issues.
which IC positions use 1 space after periods?
My FT job requires 1 space after periods, which took me a long time to adjust to. Now I would like to get a 2nd job as well but I don't want to mess up my typing trying to go back and forth between 1 and 2 spaces at jobs? TIA
I got a travel mug! I work at HOME. I drive 10 miles a week. I don't drink coffee. Sheesh! lo
nm
Yes, 10 cpl for the first 6 pay periods if you meet the 1300 lines, sm
8 cpl if you do not. After the 6 pay periods, if you become an employee, then the rates change. I think 10 cpl then was only for 3rd shift.
I just wanted a part-time position, but the 10 cpl sounded rather attractive. Of course, it doesn't matter how much someone pays if you don't have the work or can't make the lines. 
Thanks again for your input. We'll see if I even passed the test.
p.r.n. (and search won't allow periods in order get the right company)
Is the other company in Ohio as well?
You must not have been with Transtech long enough to see the lack of work periods. nm
y
Can we recommend companies that count all the characters and don't have you omiting periods, etc.
s
Thanks, That helps me a lot!
/
it helps if you put where you live - sm
you stated microcassettes accounts - so more than likely maybe something nearby or a hospital that perhaps still dictates the old fashioned way - (AND YES, THERE ARE HOSPITALS THAT DO STILL USE TAPES!!)
so whereabouts do you live
I am FT clinic if that helps! We need a few more
FT MTs on the account I am on due to them adding 15 docs to us.
Hope this helps
It isn't hard to find entry level jobs with the right education. A lot of companies hire from the top 3 schools. Career Step, which I went to, and had many job offers when I first graduated. Andrews and M-Tec. (Hope I don't spark a huge debate on schools, lol).
All companies vary when it comes to hours. Some let you work in a 10-12 hour window, some require a set schedule that you must stick to or get approval not to, and if you get a true IC position you can work whenever you want as long as you have work back in Turn Around Time which can be 24-48 hours or less.
My best advice is to get into this career for all of the right reasons. You have to be willing to learn new things every day, put in a lot of hard work, and it is not easy at first...don't give up if this is really what you want. It isn't just sitting at the computer typing all day..the kind of job people say they would love to do. It is very hard work and very stressful at times. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
Hope that helps. Best of luck on your road to being an MT.
thanks, that helps a lot. One more question, please. SM
If I have this installed and the Transnet makes some of my Word commands different, does this mean if I am typing in plain Word, then those commands are still different. In other words, when in plain Word, does Ctrl-S no longer mean Save? Thanks for your help.
Hope this helps
DSP is a compression method that was written specifically to address the requirement of recording human speech. This method removes a considerable portion of the potential sound spectrum. However, the removed data has little impact on a listener's ability to understand what was said. The algorithm rounds off many of the highs and lows associated with the tones found in the original spoken words. Listeners may no longer detect some of the emotions that may have been inferred by these tones, but the actual words will remain quite clear and discernable.
This CODEC is an excellent choice for recording dictation. The CODEC supports a Sample Rate of 8.0 kHz with a Sample Size of 8 bits and mono recording. One hour of Truespeech recording can fit into about 4.5mb of disk space. We suggest the use of Truespeech for Dictation type applications where the speaker's emotions are irrelevant.
Thanks for your message, it helps to know...
I am not alone in this battle. I was naive enough to trust MW and that is my fault, I should have been checking my account all along. Then the fact that they offered no explanation, no compensation for the lost investment that can literally never be recovered, and just blew me off is very upsetting. The head of HR just about hung up on me at the beginning of all this, said she had nothing to do with the 401 and referred me to payroll. What a way to run a business, employer of the year twice no less! I gave my notice but still have a week to work because I feel my integrity and work ethic is something to be proud of, even though they have not been fair to me. Live and learn, and move on is all I can do at this point.
Caller ID Helps Me
I have caller ID and whenever I see an 800 number or one that says caller unknown or an unknown name I just don't bothering answering it.
Thank you for your comments. It sure helps! nm

you don't have to clock out but it helps sm
as far as your lph (lines per hour) rate for bonus money. You finish a job, when you release it, you are asked if you want to release this job yes or no and there is a box that says do you want to clock out. If you want to clock out at that time you put an x in that box and release your job and you get clocked out.
Hope this helps.
Local company uses this method with full-time being 100 dictated minutes. Have a friend who works there and says she can meet this requirement in about 5-5 1/2 hours, but very qualified.
Here is what I do, hope this helps
Here is what I do, go into START, control panel, add or remove programs, and do that part. Then, I go to My Computer, C Drive, Programs (and delete out any remnants). You will also still need to definitely take it out of the main part of your computer which is REGEDIT. To do that is very easy, I do it all the time with NO problem, learned it off my computer guy, actually. 
START, RUN, type in regedit, OK. On left side in regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL _MACHINE, Software, and then just right click on the software name and it will allow you to delete it with a question screen asking if you are sure you want to do so. If you know the exact name of the program or even the exact name of the file it was in, you are safe doing this. You would also need to check in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, and just do the same procedure over again. Hope this helps you. It looks complicated, but is not.
It certainly helps if you're not. :))

what helps me is breaking up my day
in 2 and 3 hour shifts. I can just keep my head above water this way and some days I may go above that point. I have heard a few others here share this same strategy. It is hard to sit here for 8 hours straight, day in and day out. I can produce more in shifts that are broken up. Also find the time of day you feel you are most productive. Good luck!
Ok, that helps! Is there high
turnover or are they acquiring a lot of new accounts?
Any information helps. There's nothing
wrong with tooting your own horn! :)
I guess I was just wanting to know if I would get paid on time for the work I did and if there was a steady work flow. Those are my 2 main questions.
hope this helps....see msg
www.etransmed.com
I don't know anything about the company, myself.
good luck!
Thanks PTtrans any info helps.
Thank you
thanks...I did what you suggested....the info helps.
nm
Well then, I hope it helps to reinstall. Come to think of it...SM
when I say that I get those double letters, maybe that is when I open my SC after loading my program. I have no idea! I've never noticed. It's just not a consistent problem, and even when I get the double letters, it's not on every expansion that I'm using, just kinda hit-and-miss. But maybe this is what the problem is!
Anyway, I hope you get your problem sorted out. When you reinstill, your .sc dictionaries (or whatever they are called) will just be right there waiting on you. That is how it was when I got my update. Good luck, and thanks to you, too. :)
so basically no platform. thanks that helps a lot.
nm
...a good thing to have. Really helps! NM
s
Amazing how a little communication here and there helps. I wish they'd
nm
I would recommend them as an employer if that helps -
I don't know what specific questions you might have, but if you want to post a couple I will try to help.
labor board only helps if you are
x
Thanks for your kind words, it helps a lot.
It is so easy to succumb to worry and disaster. (To me worry is disasted b/c I cannot concentrate on my job, which means less lines, less money and more stress... etc.) I am going to look ahead to the future and stay on task at present... I sure hope many people here are with me with similar approach.. our line of work is difficult enough without allowing negativity to stop us from succeeding and from paying our bills!
