I ever got a signed copy back from D., though I specifically requested that she send a copy back to me with her signature on it as well.

Okay this is nuts
I just clicked on the post asking what post I was talking about, and a little hand shows up - - I'M NOT KIDDING!!!!
ARE YOU NUTS?
TAKE IT! If you don't, let the rest of us know WHERE that job is . . .
OK THIS IS NUTS.
I went to their website and emailed from there. I still got a message saying my email is undeliverable. I'm not wasting anymore time on this. I just wanted to find a good company for part-time work to supplement my full-time (lack of) work.
are you nuts? Documentation is not going to
go away. If anything else, it will increase due to sue-happy people.
I think you are all nuts (there is work)
nm
I would appreciate your not calling me **nuts**
I only got 5 hours during my scheduled shift yesterday and only 3 hours during my scheduled shift today, so I know for sure. No jobs.
Please know the entire story before posting such accusatory names as ***nuts***. My account has no work for me.
Yes, it drive me nuts too
I think I work for the same company as you!
You're nuts! nm
..
was it really 5,000 lines per day - that's nuts - nm
x
absolutely nuts for that pay
The job posting for 0.035/line should be removed from the site as a gross insult for the profession, though I feel that the 8 and 8.5 cents most companies pay now is also an insult! Too many MTSOs and mom/pop shops trying to take advantage of the newbies who don't know any better.
Driving me nuts!
OK, what WAS that from? I remember it, but can't put a face or name with it. Why do I want to think it's Opie from the Andy Griffith show (ok, I'm telling my age, but so are you) :)
That drives me nuts when they do that!!! sm
They say to please flex your time when work is low. Then they send out emails when things pick up and tell us we MUST be on NOW if we are short lines/hours. Yes, my life revolves around you TT! I love sitting at my computer 12 hours a day every day to accommodate YOU! arrggghhh.
Searching
I have a phone interview with them on Monday and I'm just really on the fence here! What I want is to be able to have plenty of work, be left alone to do so, and just go back to how it used to be when being a MT was enjoyable. I'm just so undecided right now!
Searching for...
I am looking for a company that provides a computer, has voice recognition, and doesn't require 1200 lines per day for new part time people.
Searching for
I guess I wasn't very clear. Some companies want you to type 1200 lines per day within 3 weeks, 6 weeks, whatever and give you ESL docs you can't understand, so how can you put it on paper? It would probably take me 3 months.
Searching and done with it
You made an honest mistake, you apologized graciously, and you do not deserve the bullying you have been getting. Consider that bullies think they have a lot of power because they are anonymous on the Internet. Don't pay attention to them. Hugs to you!
I did some searching
on Google, saw your post below mine this morning too, and looks like maybe you're right because I see a couple of hits from the past with the two with eTranz and then found some old posts from here about not paying by the one person. But it looks like Full Circle is just the other person? Anyone else know anything about this? Thanks!
Searching
You've got mail.
Fatcat
All she can say is "Are you NUTS?" LOL. I'd ask. Can't hurt. SM
But did you mean 2000 lines/week or 2000 lines/day?
She did not even defend herself. She confirmed it. Nuts.
nm
Yeah, it was pretty nuts.
.
You're just plain nuts. nm

I'm sorry, but this whole thread is making me NUTS!!
You have a new job and nobody is interested in getting you started working. Somebody below has been waiting since DECEMBER? They are IGNORING YOU??? You have receipts that they are receiving your emails and IGNORING YOU, and you wonder if you should be concerned and others like you are sitting around waiting. ARE YOU CRAZY? And you are asking the public if you should be concerned? You are asking STRANGERS if you should be concerned that you have a new job that basically you don't have. This is just pure insanity and again workers like you, or nonworkers really, are what perpetuates the abuse we all receive from MTSOs. How insane is it to start a job and have no work? Would you start your first day at McDonald's and just stand there in the middle of the room if nobody helped you get started? NO. You'd get help from someone there, or you'd walk out. Why in the world you sit here in cyberland and wait is so beyond my realm of imagining that I just can't comprehend it. If you take this abuse, you deserve nothing. Its that pure and simple. Its ludicrous and its embarrassing even reading about it. Sorry.
This person is nuts. She does not know the owner, and if she did sm
she would know that she does not play slot machines. Ever. She goes to casinos a few times a year, not often, and WHO CARES WHAT SHE DOES WITH HER FREE TIME AND MONEY? I know her well and obviously this person does not. This person is obviously trying to hurt the reputation of someone who doesn't deserve to have her name ruined. The truth is that the owner works 7 days a week, more than 8 hours most days. That's why we all have enough work to keep us busy and why our benefits keep increasing and why we do not have pay cuts. Geesh. Personal attacks on someone's integrity. This board is getting worse and worse.
That must be driving you absolutely nuts.
Try searching archives.
http://www.mtstars.com/search
Also frustrated in searching
Is there anyway you could archive posts sooner, like maybe only keep two pages of current post? Or set up a search for non-archived posts?
sorry....searching...not searing
:(
Try searching MT Stars itself
Instead of Google, try the search for this site. Type in the name of the company and it should bring up information about them. I hope this is what you mean.
Thanks, searching, I figured that must be why. nm

It was the way you advised about searching
and if you think you were *originally* 'polite', you might want to recheck that definition.
Thank you! I do have a lot of soul searching to do.
What is so frustrating is that I'm really a great Transcriptionist in all aspects other than the production and staying focused for 8 straight hours. If I can overcome those, everything would be perfect.
Thanks again for your kind words and great advice. I appreciate it!
I'm actively searching......
TT used to be one of the best companies to work for, not true any longer. They seem to be all about making money for themselves. No more yearly bonuses, no matching 401K, nothing for MT week but thanks from lower management. There are companies out there that pay 70% of your line rate for speech, that's reasonable. This whole thing is going to backfire on them in the end. I've had several interviews but haven't made a final decision yet. It's not that I want to find a company that doesn't do VR, in reality they all will eventually. I want to find a company that realizes their MTs put bread on the table for managment, sadly that is no longer TransTech.
I've been searching for a prn
position for months! I'll definitely need it now to make up for the lost money due to reduction in pay!
Try searching "CHRISTIAN" rather than DIT
I too got nothing when searching DIT, but when you search the word Christian, a lot of linkage to past DIT posts come up since they always tout themselves to be a Christian organization.
You'll find it very enlightening.
Would you please email me. I have a few questions before I drive myself nuts with this. nm
:
Anybody else at Webmedx going nuts from technical hassles?
I know better than to post this on their internal message board, as anything that is not 100% happy gets deleted.
This is the 2nd week in a row of technical issues on the client's end vs issues on our end, with the MTs caught in the middle, having to twiddle their thumbs during their scheduled shift, then give up their scheduled days off and work like mad playing catchup. I guess I just want to vent and commiserate . Anybody else in my boat?
I do all that for my animals and people call me nuts!
It just depends on what your priorities are I guess. Some people do that for kids, animals, a house, a car...if it makes you happy--go for it! That whole life it too short and all...
Not easy...been searching for months
I was a recruiter and the company decided to hire a recruiting company...now many of us can't even find positions as there are usually one or two per company and they never leave or some don't pay well. So not easy even with someone with experience.
After searching the archives a bit, not so sure I want to work for them
nm
No. I just happened to be searching & thought I'd

I can't find my answer by searching...
I'm looking for opinions on:
CTS (Central Transcription Services)
and
TRX (out of Oregon and NYC)
Thanks so much in advance! Feel free to email me privately.
It should, but you'll be searching a long
time to find it. Seems 8 cpl is the going rate and 9 if you're lucky.
Not anymore. I think the nuts have moved on and the owner is less stressed now. I see a sm
a much calmer atmosphere this time around. I've been back just over a year and it is night and day from four years ago.
Try searching Dictation Services Group
in addition to DSG.
Anyone know anything about Wordzxpressed? Perhaps I flunked archive searching, sm
but I cannot seem to find anything recent about them. I hear so many horror stories about so many companies, it is hard to know who are the good guys and who are the bad. 
Thanks.
6 cents a line for surgical reports for an ESL dictator? Are you NUTS??
I'm just absolutely appalled and disgusted... 
A position like this is a RARE one, newbies. I've been searching 11 yrs for a job like this and

Any good info on MDI-FL. Do they have IC status? I've been searching for sm
the past 15 minutes and have found nothing!! I read somewhere someone said you have to have tough skin to work for MDI-FL. I wonder what this means! :)
Thanks to anyone with any info on this company. Trying to leave MQ and make some decisions here. Help out a fellow MT. Love ya. LOL
After much searching on this board, I am not finding any info on Focus for sm
rate in pay. Can anyone please spare a fellow MTs time and just let me know if their pay is decent?? I just got a 10% decrease in pay today with MQ and I am just so upset! I'm looking for a decent company, that's all. Thanks so much!
Keep searching. All the good stuff is kept in house now. If you snag Op reports out here, they're
