Not joking

In Reply to: Not a joke: I need health insurance. Is MQ - really that bad? I need good pay and insurance.
No, MQ is not that bad. There is a lot dispute about this, however, there does not seem to be one place that there isn't. That OSi place sounds really bad in comparison.
I really have no idea what they start new employees out at.
If you are interested, you should call the HR dept. They can tell you for sure about insurance coverage/cost and probably what the starting line rate is, or they will put you through to who can.

are you joking.....
do you think there is one or two people waiting until the last minute. If each MQ employee typed 100 extra lines that would affect the work load. Be real and quite complaining
you are joking I'm sure
Using reference material is NOT cheating - this isn't a crossword puzzle. The ability to effectively use resources is part and parcel of the job and most companies are interested in people who know how to do that and WILL do that rather than guess on a medical record. Of course, they don't PAY you for doing it, but oh well.
Why would I be joking? No,
accounts, my OWN accounts. Those hospitals use my service because they are fed up with the lousy quality they get from national services and I only use the BEST MTs. Sounds like this recruiter is part of the reason hospitals get lousy quality. You either know it, or you don't. Being able to do a Google search doesn't make you a good MT. KNOWING it makes you a good MT.
That's o.k., SS, I was just joking...
Some people really like better working with VR and do do better than straight typing.
Hi, NM, whoever you are, I think you are joking, but nevertheless.......sm
Starting a sentence with a conjunction
Occasionally I come across an adult who still thinks it’s improper to start a sentence with a conjunction. Others think that starting a sentence with a conjunction is an innovation and should be done only sparingly, if at all. For those folks, I offer this passage from the King James Bible (circa 1611)..
'And' so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 'And' she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 'And' there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 'And', lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were so afraid. 'And' the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 'For' unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 'And' this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 'And' suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke 2:6–14.
Ah I was joking LOL s/m
As I said, if I wanted another job I would look to something else. Seriously, I'm very happy that you have found a good place to work. I'm sure there are still a few out there, which goes back to what someone said, you can't just wait for good things to happen to you, you have to go out and look for it. I kinda am a believer in you make your own luck and I also think God helps those who help themselves, that sort of thing. I was ready to retire from MTing anyway but had I wanted to continue there is no doubt in my mind that I would have been right there with you. I would have kissed 5000 toads if I needed to to find that prince. LOL My best to all MTs and may you all find that place that has enough work to go around and most of all RESPECTS their MTs and doesn't just consider them an expendable group of collective fingers.
Ok, I hope you are joking. SM
She said she has been watching the comments about her company in amusement. This means while laughing, taht she finds it funny......
poster was joking around

I was only half joking s/m
I've always worked so I'm sure that I'll continue to make extra money. We, as MTs, have more talents than we usually give ourselves credit for. For one thing, I have a website http://www.ozarkmountainmemories.com that right now is used for a nonprofit event but by the first of next year or so I expect it to be making money. I never thought I could build a website and it took me awhile but I got 'er done!
USA Medical Transcription, Inc.- joking, right?
I am new to the world of medical transcription (less than 2 years), just got offered a job for 6 cents a line, not including spaces on a 68 character line.... WHAT A JOKE! May be new to the business, but I seem to think my time and efforts are more valuable than that. 
Be professional? lol You're joking, right?
Bottom line......The levels to which I have read of some MTs stooping to on this board does not belie a professional attitude. Personally, the whole thing makes me pretty nauseous.
Perhaps you should turn your nausea towards the declining wages being offered to seasoned MTs, then you might understand why MTs choose to sign on with multiple companies.
You expect MTs to be professional, but in this day and age there is very rarely a professional attitude returned to the worker bee MT.
The MTs are the ones who are trying to remain professional in this unprofessional rat race that transcribing has turned into. I say more power to any MT that has the guts to accept multiple offers and walk away from those that won't be beneficial to your pocketbook. I for one admire you, it's not something I know I could easily do.
Give me a break. Obviously he/she was joking or they would not have put that in there. You people
are ridiculous, always looking for fault on something someone says. I'm not the OP but I also promise people that I won't come here because if I read something untrue about the company I work so hard for, I get upset.
It's like reading the National Enquirer. 99% gossip, 1% truth, but for that 1% truth and the daily laughs, it is worth coming to read.
I do believe she was joking. I found it funny, CB/crankybeach. (NM)
