Originally from Waterford....
I was just there today. My daughter wanted some plants from a freecycler who lives on a dirt road with a valley behind her and a swimming pool. She also gave us a lot of yarn, so we were there a long time. I had to mapquest her address because I'm not familiar with the northern part of Waterford.
that is what i said originally....sm
but she is getting her panties all in a wad and then she posted 42 DAYS.......HELLO.....Now i know it is 42 days instead of 30....I was actually correct the first time, but off a few days. Still you have to wait a MONTH and a few days. geez!!!
when we (DRC) were originally 'invaded'
They claimed that they wanted their US 'presence' to be a higher level of MT, so that companies that preferred American-transcribed work, or who had accounts too tough for the ESL-MTs to handle, could have it done by American MTs. We were told that we'd be held to very high standards, and that the clients we typed for would be paying more for our services. Anyone with a kindergarten education would assume that American MTs would also be paid better than the dots-not-feathers.
Well, I got my kindergarten education, but apparently the Big Kahunas at Acusis are lacking in that department.
Born in the USA
My own physician is not U.S.-born (Indonesia) but has told me he feels if one is to be an American (which he now is) then once must have some commitment and loyalty to America. He thinks the off-shoring is horrible, is angered about the way U.S. MTs are treated in general, refuses to allow his work to be sent out of the U.S., and tells me he thinks the stress of MT is causing me health problems and not enough exercise. LOL
Now THAT is a patriot.
I originally applied for clinic...sm
but was told positions were closed for clinic and radiology. When he offered acute care, I admitted my weakness in OP reports, and he was still willing to hire me. Like I stated, this was my second time applying (heard nothing the first time) so DON'T give up yet. Good luck to you.
:) LOL...well, I was born in CT and lived in OR most
of my life, so I'm a yankee through and through! I lived in SC for 2 years, though, when I was in the Navy, but that's my only southern accent experience. Funnily enough, my first-born son had a southern accent for his first couple years. (He was born in South Carolina.) He would crack me up by saying, I doun't wanna go ta baaayed! I doun't wanna take a naaaayap! Where's my Batmaaayan? I wanna go ta MACdonaud's! :) :)

Heartland India based originally
I'm almost certain that at the time Heartland was purchased by HCR, they were originally a India based entity. The Domestic MTs/editors came much later.
I was offered a position, originally accepted it, but
than changed my mind. They told me it would be about 2 weeks before I could work, but the account I was going to be working on was acute care and they needed to get me cleared through the hospital to be able to access their system and then I would have to go through setup. The account I was offered as internet based - I think Dictaphone ExText.
There originally was a long thread with this post. As

Originally, you had to provide your own long distance, and there were not the sm
unlimited LD services available back then, so D paid more to compensate for you having to provide your own LD. One Suite was the cheapest thing available, and it was 2 cents per minute, I think. Since unlimited LD is now available, that is probably why she felt she could lower the rate of pay. I am only guessing. I was making 11-1/2 cpl when I worked there, and I kind of shot myself in the foot and had to leave. I have had regrets in the past, but maybe I am not missing out on anything anymore. Sad.
Regardless, I am surprised at her paying only 3 cpl for VR, which is below what most companies pay, and trying to assert that you can do 3 times as much on VR. She was always fair with employees and seemed to want to do right by them. I guess that is the way of the business nowadays.
Good luck to you. 
I was born and raised outside of Philly...sm
all my family is still there. Live in Oregon now, but would go back in a heartbeat! Nothing like being close to New York, AC, Washington DC, not to mention all the great food in Philly and the wonderful WaWa! Mmmm, TastyKakes and cheese steaks!
Born yesterday, nope and not everyone knows
what Toth is as per the person asking above in this thread. I work as independent, I work certain days and certain hours and if I run out of work I don’t have to make up and just do whatever I want for the rest of that day. I am not a slave to my computer, my home, my employer, no one. You gotta first grow a backbone and do what ever is necessary in order to try to retrieve your pay.
My father born same year so
you and I are probably 2 golden oldies, right? I love these years, so far, so good.
Good for you; you're a natural born MT and I wish you well. nm

Christmas is a holiday because Christ was born...
President's Day is a holiday, too. And I'm guessing very few people in this industry get paid for THAT!! It's not all about YOU!!!
True. My dad was born in 1914 and I heard him use it
I think they may even say it in some old movies. I grew up hearing it... it was slang for looking for, hoping for, jones'n for a new job, etc.
I was born in Roswell so that makes sense
=)
