I made a mistake, geez! sm

In Reply to: Of course you have a right to opine on an - NameMorphed
I thought I WAS posting in the correct spot on the board. My experience WAS with the guy I mentioned in my original post. I thought it was the same name as the OP stated ... the names are VERY similar (only a couple letters off) so it was an honest mistake. I never would've posted if I hadn't seen it and been curious whether it was the same guy, so there would never have been a post for me to put elsewhere. Man, oh man. Much ado 'bout nothing.
I apologized and corrected it, but my experience remains the same with the person I originally referred to (again, sorry it was not the OP's guy) and I didn't say anything that is going to sully anyone's reputation one way or the other to any great extent. He might very well be a great guy and I never said he was anything less! Even if it HAD been the same guy the OP mentioned, I would never take anything on these boards with anything more than a grain of salt, and I would investigate and draw my own conclusions before deciding for myself.
I should've double checked the name before posting, and for that I have apologized and continue to apologize. I didn't realize it caused such an uproar behind the scenes. It's not like I said the guy was a murderer or something - just that he sounded like a salesperson! LOL

I made a BIG mistake. SM
I was working for this great company who only required 2000 lines a day and had a very flexible schedule. I couldnt handle the 2000 lines a day in addition to my other position and had to quit. Then a little later, asked if I could have another chance. She gave me this chance and then, again, it was too hard for me to keep up with all the work.
Now I am on a different schedule with school starting again as well as other circumstances and this would just be the perfect scenerio for me. The 2000 lines a week.
I have been searching for other companies that might have this type of position available and have failed to locate one. Do you think it would be completely wrong of me to ask, yet again, for another chance? Or would I be coming off too nutty. :-)
Just asking for opinions. Go ahead and tell the truth. If you think I am a nutcase, go ahead and let me know. LOL. Just want pure honesty here.
Also if anyone else has ever been in the same position as I, I'd love to hear about it. At least I would know I am not the only one.
Hey, QA, I made another mistake .. pull my post .. LOL
Pardon the html in my post, as I tried to enter smileys ... lol ... there was no way to proofread ~ and I didn't anyway, because it's time for me to get ready for work. I also said not being turned down ~ should have been no not .. LOL .. toodles ~ I'm outta here and not participating anymore. ;o)
if you are referring to the mistake the webmedx MT made
The mistake the Webmedx absolute disaster post made was that she was toggling between her two newly assigned accounts, each of which required many of the opposite criteria/spects for the accounts--she mistakenly bolded and capped impression for one when that client preferred lower case, unbolded impression. The templates for these two clients were identical and it was so easy to confuse which you were on I would defy anyone not to occasionally make a mistake of this nature when toggling between these two identical- appearing client accounts, with the reports randomly coming up one or the other and nearly impossible to tell which hospital you're in and it is your first and second days! It was a 'Russian roulette.'
I hope you made a mistake when you posted below my response.
I certainly do not have an easy account like the poster I responded to. I don't complain about TT. I like it there and plan to stay. They treat there people decently, not like some other companies.
God forbid the poor poster made a mistake by posting on the wrong board!! Good grief!

geez or not geez, it's you who has to polish up her grammar...sm
Prove that conjunctions cannot be used to start a sentence, I just proved the contrary in my 2 lower post. Read it, so you can better you grammar.
My mistake. It was MDI-FL. sm
They called me back yesterday finally and found out that it was MDI-FL. I was offered the position which I gladly took. The funny thing is that Transcend has the account now that my previous employer had and was taken away and given to Transcend. I am crossing my fingers I will get on that one (although not holding my breath either). The line rate seems good. The schedule is what I need. So we shall see. So far so good.
mistake
Yes. Mistake made. Windows Vista not compatible with a lot of MT software. Go to Microsoft.com and find what IS compatible, by manufacturer's name.
its a mistake. This was before
this is a mistake..if you check the dates it was before the layoff..
My mistake...
It was not Keystrokes, it was a different company in Illinois on the list that was no longer in service. Just one of those Monday moments on a Thursday!
Big Mistake :-(
Anybody else ever think they figured it out, schedule wise, and end up leaving a company for another one and then realize they made a HUGE mistake? But it is too late because the doctor that you transcribed was already given to someone else.....
I was working for a great company!!!! One that, for some reason, will occasionally get some bad reviews here.... which I do not understand why.. had a baby, had to leave one company (as I was working for three) and let go of the wrong one!!!! But was too stressed out at the time, when making my decision, to realize it.
I wish I could do a system restore on my work situation and set myself back to when I was with that company working on my favorite doctor!!!!
It was a mistake and not a huge one...
GET OVER IT! The poster said they were sorry about the mistake twice now (I wouldn't have after the first time), and it's not that big of a deal anyway! What are you this guy's wife/mother/sister or something? I can't imagine getting so upset about a post about some guy you worked with that again was a MISTAKE?
Take a Valium or 12 and settle down, LOL You keep calling someone out for making a small mistake that's is not going to hurt anything or anyone and who already apologized twice! Plus, your getting yourself frazzled over nothing.
My mistake. You are correct.
So, did the REAL KS recruiter post those messages?
Learn from my mistake
Do not go to work for Robin Hall. To this date she still owes me over $800 and I can't reach her in any way. Phone, IM, e-mail, cell... nothing.
Can you tell me why? I really need to know, I can't make another mistake.

DSG website mistake? sm
DSG website has a link to a website called MTIA saying it stands for Medical Transcription Industry Association. When you click on the link it takes you to a place that is a website for Missouri Tellecommunications Industry Association!! Is this an honest mistake or a scam? Lots of people probably wouldn't even check the links.
Just wondering.
Please don't mistake me for the spelling cop, but (sm)
You stated that the QA people are supper helpful too... Does that mean that they'll drop in around 4:30 p.m. and start getting dinner ready for me too? LMAO!
is her mistake of posting on the sm
wrong board of such significance that it disrupts your life? Good grief, have you nothing else to do?
If your going to be an RN just for more money your making a mistake..sm
I was an RN and I hated it. Horrible hours, awful doctors with egos, patients who have no respect for you, etc. People who are RNs do if for the love of helping people, not money.
Alex-Med -- did they make a mistake in their ad?
The line rate begins at 2.5 GROSS for an IC position... It doesn't say whether it is for transcription or editing?
That doesn't sound right.
Not bashing, just wondering. 
Oops, my mistake....yes, TSSC is in SC...
*
You would be making a huge mistake....sm
...by even wasting one second of your time with OSi. There's plenty on these boards to back up my opinion.
But, if you are seeking that first year experience, I suppose OSi should be considered.
Good luck!
Did you look in your spam folder to see if there by mistake?
No I am in Oklahoma. For the MT who says she did not get her line count, you need to look in your spam folder of your email. When I first started I was not getting mine and it was in the spam folder. Please try that and if your truly did not get your line count, have you contacted Raul, or Tonya, or anyone and asked why. If you did what did they tell you. This truly is a wonderful company if I can help please email me at sheryl.cantrell@gmail.com I promise to help in any way I can.
Sorry, but Jester is a pretty bad mistake
I'm not laughing. I'm horrified.
OOPS - yea I saw my mistake after I posted.
because it showed 10 times the same mistake
in this post and ironically regarding 'MT, MT's, MTs and MTs', and blabbering how much MTs are taken advantage of....
Oops wrong board. Another mistake by me
I had just got off the phone when I did this. I am going to take a long break from the computer
Ok. I could handle once as a mistake if explained promptly and fixed. Twice? I would run sm
as fast as I could. Twice in two months? What if you never get paid at all? You would be better going with a national while getting your own so that you have benefits and a steady paycheck. Start your own accounts slowly so that you start right.
I was sent a gift card by mistake- addressed to my supervisor
I emailed my supervisor and she said sh ewas expecting a gift card in the mail and to mail it to her. I called the company... they said it was a mistake.. So, I am wondering, did only management get giftcards, or did all employees but me get a gift card. I happily mailed the card to my supervisor. I also sent my notice of resignation to Probity.
Not on ER here, another acct. Got an email by mistake a few days ago with an Indian person in the
s
People do make mistakes sometimes. Maybe it was an oversight or plain ole mistake
on someone's part, an unintentional mistake. It is possible.
Worked for an MT service that had a mistake on the cover of Employee Manual (sm)
That is bad. 
professionable -- thats cute- did you make this mistake on purpose or really think that is a word?
I have never heard professionable before. lol
Geez...
wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning???
geez!
Lighten up. I never claimed each and every one of the gaffs in my post would happen in a single report! (explanation point) Just trying to show the range of possibilities and provide a little fun at the same time.
And to those who say we must adapt, some species will just take themselves out of the gene pool, rather than lose their wings and become ground dwellers. The advent of computers (like losing flippers and growing legs) was a boon to this profession, one to which I was happy to adapt because it was beneficial to me. Not really sure what I would be getting out of adaptation to VR, other than being allowed to do something kinda like my old job, that I don't enjoy nearly as much as my old job, for a lot less money than my old job. Just doesn't seem like a good plan, but then that's just me.
geez...
do you also begrudge the lady using the insurance for her breast cancer or the guy with the MI??? Health insurance has always paid for pregnancy-related charges. And women have taken maternity leave. why is this a big deal for everyone now? would you like her to schedule her delivery for friday so she can recuperate over the weekend and be back at her desk on Monday?
Oh geez!!!
You just put into writing my worst fear, the one I was afraid to mention, that they perhaps are offshoring. It's just so unlike my experience with them to be met with dead silence and a lack of explanation from management about work being slow. One poster even tried addressing D directly to no avail.
The silence is deafening.
I hope we're WAY off base on this but with no other explanations coming from the higher ups, it does leave a lot of room for speculation.
Hoping for the best for all of us at MDI-MD right now...
To Geez
I know you did not mean to offend and I was not. :) The one thing we can all say is that MDI MTs are a cohesive group of respectful MTs, especially of each other. We are all on this ship together although in different ways. I am lucky so far in that I transcribe private office accounts. Therefore, the work is my own and only if a doctor is on vacation or sick, is my work load super low. I make 9 cpl and have not asked for any more in 3 years and never will. I cover for other MTs on vacation who also have private accounts. I do not do hospital work and now I think I may be more grateful than ever that I do not. However, I only average 800-900 lines per day and sometimes less. I dropped my commitment to 800 when 2 private accounts left. The one major complaint I have with MDI is when physicians take their business to another service or utilize another technology MDI never tells you. You sit and look at an empty template for days wondering if they are sick, on vacation or dead! No one says anything until you just figure (or finally hear it from your TL) that this doctor/practice left MDI.
Geez!
Okay fine, the experienced receptionist would get 50 cents more an hour....happy now? Ohhh, ahhhh!!! Good grief!
Geez!
So if you are one of the lucky MTs who got your wages cut, you can look forward to no milk and sewing your own clothes and adding patches and sparkles when they rip. Just shoot me already! Oh, you guys are killing me with the drama!
Geez, just let it go....nm

Geez!!
I am soo sick and tired of the sniping on this board!! Its either the great debate re: VR versus I only wanna work days -- To NEWBIES -- I have been in this profession over 30 years -- therefore, the days, the hours off that I want take precedence over your wants, needs or groans -- I have also worked in the corporate world and if you are low man on totem pole -- TOUGH!! I also had the guts/nerve to tell my employer that due to where I lived I had to have a raise to deal with COLA -- guess what??? I have it - and BTW -- no I am doing straight transcription and NO we are not hiring so dont ask
Well geez!
That oughta make 'em all feel a whole lot better!
I had over 40 years in the business and guess what? I used to be just as arrogant as you but after buy-outs, mergers and all the rest, it got ME. Time was when I wanted a raise, I asked for it...and got it. I never worked a weekend until I VOLUNTEERED to work weekends after my kids were grown so others might have time to spend with their families. No way would I get back in the MT business!! I'd flip burgers first. And... no way would I do VR at 3-4 cpl. Your time will come, trust me.
Have worked for both. I am back at Keystrokes after making the mistake of leaving for Accusis.
My pay at Keystrokes has always been much higher because they seem to never run out of work. Accusis is mostly offshore, which is a negative to me. Ask Keystrokes to match the rate, I bet they will if you forego the review in 90 days. I will never leave again!
I'm not judging...GEEZ
It just gets frustrating to read these down and out posts about MQ going under, we're all in trouble, its doom and gloom. There have been a lot of changes, I have had my bitter moments too, but I have nothing to fall back on. If you people do not have PROOF of what is GOING to happen, do not post false threats!! This is our livelihood, and its trickling away bit by bit. All I see is a bunch of people complaining nonstop, if you're that unhappy, why don't you do something about it? Either that or go along with the changes. This industry is going downhill, we are expendable, I feel that our days are numbered too, but i'm going to do whatever work is thrown at me until that day. I'm a remote worker, just a number who has no voice. My supervisors are secretive and down-talk me as well, but it does no good to come on here and threaten us and scare us all into believing we are this close to ending up flat broke and on the streets. You people posting such things, copy and paste evidence that the changes are going to be for the worse in regards to MQ pay plan, accounts switching, MQ being bought out, getting rid of seasoned MTs. PROVE IT!!! Or else you're causing a stir for no definitive reason for all of us who are under a lot of stress and uncertainty as it is!
Thank you. Geez! I had no idea. sm
What Business Journal are you referring to? Would love to see the info you are talking about. Thanks again!
Geez, can you get any snottier?
What a poop.
Geez, do you believe everything you read?
You don't have a first-hand experience with OSi and yet you advise someone to run, run, run? You know, maybe we who are having a great experience with OSi don't spend all of our time here posting, and what's the point anyway? We're usually overrun with the few who post over and over again about staying away. I actually am extremely happy with OSi, and in fact my last two weeks of October I had my largest line count ever. My point is, I think you can't believe everything you read on these boards, and it's really not right and kind of strange to step up and advise someone to run when you really have no first-hand knowledge of working with this company.
Geez, just saw that TransHealth wants Sat AND
That seems pretty rigorous. Are Sat and Sun schedules requested a lot out there? I'm thinking more and more that I need to leave this career.
I don't think she was talking to you. Geez.
She was addressing me, trying to figure out if I was being serious or sarcastic with MY post.
Geez that is a bit extreme
Well she is probably like me. I make mistakes like anyone else and if I am typing on here I might make one and not double check myself as much. You can tell if they are intelligible by the rest of their post. She just made a typo or two. We are not perfect in this world. We come here for support on this board not criticism. That is just my opinion on this issue.
