Such a pathetic, unprofessional post.
You do not know the reasons for my question. Can't a person just inquire of a job on this site without this kind of bashing. I think you've set up your own demise. You shouldn't have far to fall. Good luck.

I try to keep my mind and body busy outside transcribing
Sounds hokey but works for me. I work evenings, which I love. Seems like I always have a list or a practical plan in my head (and actually follow through with some of them, ha-ha), and I try to keep physically busy outside and inside daily when not transcribing (usually not really to exhaustion) so that when I DO finally get ready to transcribe, I'm glad to be able to sit. With the nicer weather, this works well, of course; I'm outside a lot more in the yard or walking (winters in Ohio are another story, though). Doing for other people who need me has very therapeutic for me; I didn't always think this way. I've gotten more involved with my aging mother, we babysit the grandnephews sometimes. Being very involved in local church has been great (I'd recommend that to anybody of any age). Not isolating myself has been key for me for these past few years in particular (have been transcribing 32 years). When I finally sit down to transcribe, I just want peace and quiet and the work settles me down. I realize how grateful I am to be able to stay home and appreciate my life.
Just do your work and quit being a cherry picking busy body.
Maybe some people cannot understand the dictator. If you understand the dictator, then just do the report and quit whining on this board.
adduction is toward the center of the body. Abduction is away from the center of the body. nm

memory fails but wasn't an SLO
... the FBI's "most wanted" list, living the life of a perfectly normal suburban wife and mother, complete with community involvement, PTA (and church?) meetings, etc., fooling everyone? Who would have imagined she took part in all that Patty Hearst kidnapping (and other) stuff?
Two things come to mind here relating to your topic (?):
1. She made a 180-degree turn and no one knew.
2. She made a 180-degree turn.
I guess it shows how messaging fails even
a messageboard veteran, because I wasn't in the least angry; I just dispute the need to remove all emotion from my life as a preventative measure. I totally agree with doing one's own research and being aware of what's going on in the industry, I just don't think I have to cut off my better emotions to do it, because, for me at least, therein lies cynicism and I've BTDT and that's not the path I want to walk again. Otherwise ITA with most of what you say in both your messages.
Busy does not mean disorganized. I would rather work for a busy company sm
than one with no work. I started with Keystrokes 3 months ago and it is the best thing I ever did. I have a steady paycheck and plenty of work.
Heads up every body! sm
I thought this was rather interesting. A while back I posted about working a short time for a company and then leaving because I wasn't happy with the platform and got a better offer. Anyway, I was not paid for my work and about a month had gone by, so I posted here asking for help and was given a few good places to start. I recently received an e-mail from said business with a copy of my post from this board, basically Ha!, we caught you. However, I did receive my pay 3 days later. So, for anyone who doesn't think companies take time to read these boards, think again. I never imagined transcription company owners would have time to sit around reading posts on MT boards.
Any body know anything about a company named PTS,
curious. I tried Archives but could not come up with anything. TIA.
I did too long-time MT before MT killed my body and I had to do QA.
There are always folks who have to belittle those who know their stuff but fact is, it can be done. I even used to do $52 an hour on weekends when I was paid 13.5 cents a gross line. I could easily do 400+ lines an hour. In any event, I am a veteran who has been in the business well over 30 years and don't have to look up spellings, get it right the first time, knew my accounts and that's how WE do it. There are those I know who do it now and they are very valuable in this industry. Those who cannot do it, will get there one day but are not there yet and it is hard for them to believe, but we know :)
Any body work for Opti-Script ...sm
How are they to work for? pay, type of account, etc.
As I *said* in my post body, it IS awful that at MTSO cm
would not pay. I agreed with you on that. If you want me to grow some guts, as you say, sorry. Throwing the term demonic around when forewarning someone is just a little unnerving. Perhaps I was just not ready to envision demons and evil first thing in the morning. LOL
As I said before, I do agree with you that this person should definitely be held accountable for her actions. It is sad that our profession has come to this. I hope your friend gets her money back 100 times over and that this MTSO is put out of business as soon as possible.
If you have a nice body, it isalso noteable
if it is covered by a long dress. In Saudi Arabia they are not called 'burkas', they are called differently.
BTW, for whom do you 'want' to 'flaunt' your nice body?
The only one to whom I want to 'flaunt' my nice body is my husband, not even my boyfriend.
You see, even American women differ.
I can already say now that you should not go to Saudi Arabia or any Muslim country.
Unless you were joking!
AHIMA is not a regulatory body. I read da-nose and think it is brilliant.
Billing practices have long been an issue in this industry, but I guess I don't see where you are coming from on the impending regulation thing. It has been a long week for me and looks to be a longer weekend so my brain cells are a bit drained, lol.
Any body hear of a company in MA that is hiring editors for 3 cent a line? sm
I asking for someone else, the email was signed Jay
It is a losing game. They make next to nothing, get paid for a warm body count. Losers. Recruiters
x
Sorry I got busy.
Got busy. I was going to get to it :)
busy here
Two of my accounts are super busy and two others are moderately busy.
Very busy
I work for 3 companies and 2 out of the 3 are very busy. One is slow but I just use that money for free money. You have to keep looking. There are companies out there that pay their people a halfway decent salary and have work. Am I making what I made 5-10 years ago, no, but I can pay my bills and have money leftover. I am also looking at a fourth company to replace the slow company as I think they are probably losing the acct I am working on. Keep looking, there is work.
I have been as busy as I can be. There has been
overtime available the last 2 weekends and enough work in the system to not have to check back later in the evening. If it weren't for the fact that I got the flu over New Years and it is still lingering, I could have really cleaned up 
I do know somebody starting cherrypicking my primary at my last job. I would have to sign in at midnight and hope my favorite surgeon was up late dictating to get anything remotely lucrative. Otherwise, there would be like 40 echocardiograms in my queue. When I asked management about that, they said the census was low. Funny, I guess people can stop in and have an echo anytime they want as apparently no one has to admit these people or order a cardiology consult on them.
These managers don't really get that you know your account and WORK FLOW forwards and backwards after sitting there all day, day in and day out. I think you may be right to call that BS as I pretty much knew immediately something was going on with my account.
Busy MT'ng
Let's just hope this issue does not come if/when anyone ask you Q's during all the MQ legal issues
So busy MT'ng?
I think what some are trying to bring up is the fact that legally,if for some off the wall reason, you'd have to answer say...privacy,HIPPA whatever questions in a deposition, then you would be in breach of contract with one of your jobs.
Not sure anyone's miserable or even cares about your situation, just bringing up the obvious, which seems your way to busy patting & grooming yourself up, to worry about. Keep on with that great life!
Busy MTing
My sentiments exactly. One has to look out for themselves because God knows these companies donot look out for you Wouldn't you like to know how much the company actually gets per line plus they make all these promises to get an acccount on board and to get an MT to work there.
Busy MTing.
You are absolutely correct dear. It's no one business if you work for 10 companies. that is your perogative. More power to dear. I am on your side all athe way.
I mostly agree with you, Busy...SM
I'd really like to see some kind of seniority benefit come into play. :)
Yup, Busy. I'm not complaining, but...! NM

Is it possible their MTs are too busy working why they
That's a possibility and I do know companies who have MTs that want to keep a good thing for themselves and I can well understand it
Maybe they are just so busy and need another MT and the job posted is not yours. sm
That could be it. If you are that upset, call and ask them.
I hope things work out for you!
I agree with Busy
I agree with Busy's approach. Although I left MQ (new PS who was clueless), I did the right thing by MQ, gave them two weeks' notice, worked as hard as I could right up to the last, and sent thank you e-mails to my WFC and PS. I agree with Busy that there are many, many choices out there for many, many needs. MQ no longer met my needs, so I left them in as decent and professional a manner as I could.
I have never had low work at MDI... very busy
all the time. I guess different people have different experiences. My experience with MDI has been a great one. I really love it there and would be happy to give you more information via e-mail
Dictaphone has been busy....
and I have yet to run out of work. The only time it was slow was on the 4th of July (which is not unusual considering it was a holiday), but I have not had any problems with running out of work OR management. I've been with Medware now for almost 6 months and REALLY like it!
Maybe there busy learning their new
I think someone posted before that they were getting like 9 new accounts. So, maybe everyone is tied up and can't really take a coffee break. I'd be stroking those keys too if I was making 9.5 cpl (their starting rate per one post). I'm glad there's at least one company out there that pays well. I really don't think though that someone working there for only three months could really have anything bad to say. I think someone else posted that KS promises lower health insurance premiums soon so that is a good thing. 
Busy and happy and not here much...
just passed my first 3 months at Keystrokes....and it's STILL a great company! And as I have lots of work, I'm not spending as much time reading the boards... I agree with previous poster...seems like if an MT expresses that they are happy with their position, their company, or even their occupation, they open themselves up to being bashed by folks who are apparently unhappy about something. I think this board is a great place to vent and I'm glad it's here...but at times there's a lot more bashing than support going on.
I never stayed busy....
I worked on an ortho account and they kept running out of work, so I quit. They had way too many MTs in the typing pool. They do not assign the MTs doctors and you are in a pool so the work is on a first come first serve basis. Good luck! Not the job for me.
I'm sorry-been really busy today!
I will email you in a few
You must not be very busy, because you are always on this board.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
My accounts at KS are very busy. nm
nm
If you are rad, you should be busy not slow. sm
email me. I will help!
Wet noodle busy here too--sm
Yup, I did that too--beat myself up, that is. With the exception of one dictator being a bit difficult to understand, which I would think they would take into consideration, I know there were no errors in my transcription. I proofread and double checked everything. So, I finally decided it was their loss. I am definitely glad I have a job with a company I like. I've weathered growing pains with them before as they have weathered and supported me through life changes, so I would imagine we will be okay:)
Not running out here...I have been really busy..
nm
Same here. It has been very busy on my account. sm
I am very happy there and glad I took the plunge.
Extremely busy... sm
It might be because they have been extremely busy with transitioning a new account.
Busy, working on day off too.
No complaints here. Going to get work done and put money away for the times it gets slow again, and for Christmas.
Yes, I have. She is very busy but I would follow up. sm
If you were contacted for an interview, I would definitely follow up on it. You could have slipped through the cracks with the holidays. They have a large account coming up that they are trying to staff and I could only imagine how many responses those job postings receive to weed through. Your resume obviouly stood out to get contacted for an interview. Definitely follow up on your original contact for an interview. I am extremely pleased thus far.
no I'm too busy correcting the
mistakes, reformatting, deleting stuff the dictator did not say, adding things he did say, and thinking about using the hot keys to have my brain turn to mush. But I'd rather straight type any day.
Well, at least the PR guys will be kept busy... SM
Rewriting the Acusis flyer: *Acusis is an average MTSO, and so if you're an average hospital with no big expectations for your medical records, give Acusis a try.*
*If you're not expecting very much from your MTSO, Acusis and their barely average MTs will not disappoint you.*
maybe we are just lucky that we are busy..nm
nm
No, actually I don't - I'm too busy trying to survive to worry about
You need a reality check, girl and you still haven't said what YOUR name is. Credibility, you know!
I think she was responding to Busy MT'ing not me!

re: Ms. Busy Bee Mt'ng,Amen!
What is that phrase??? Oh yeah, me thinks you are "not all that" Busy Mt'ng and if you are, you cheapen yourself by singing your own praises. That back of yours must be black and blue by now. 
If you don't care what anyone else thinks, then quit shoving it out here ok? We don't, we DO not, and it seems only you DO. 
Does'nt take a rocket scientist to see where you come from....brings flashbacks (WAY back) to junior high. 
NOW, if we seem contrite, jealous, envious, all about us, etc...just following in your footsteps....get OVER yourself already and get back to your oh so busy MT'ng 
We are always busy, "starve" -- doubtful
If anything, MDI-FL works us to death, that is my complaint
Hey! Too busy with Thanksgiving and company
:-)
