That is so sweet of you to say. Thank you!
Amphion rocks. I will always say that:)
Sweet - Thanks !!!! NM

That is so sweet - thank you! sm
I still like to have Christmas off with my two, who are 11 and 8 and that is so kind and thoughtful of you to think of it the way that you do!! I hope you have wonderful holidays yourself!
That's so sweet!
In the meantime, this month a relative gave me some 'fall-back' money to put in my anemic, terminally-ill little bank account.
In the meantime, I'm still looking for something that pays a little more realistically than MT. This business is a total disgrace, isn't it?
short and sweet is the way to go (sm)
I would not offer a lot of details. People leave jobs all the time, they are used to it. Be professional and polite. Keep it simple is my advice.
How sweet for you to be so enamoured with me! :)

such a sweet bust!

Sweet recruiter
... Way to go!!! You have my vote!! Who do you work for?
Bet your sweet a** the AC won't get it back in TAT

What a sweet post :-)
Thank you for your kind words, Irish. May you and your loved ones have a blessed and healthy 2009! :-)
short and sweet
They stink. They send a ton to offshore. They rip off the MT. They buy up small companies and then change all the rules eventually to be uniform with Transcend policies. Just my opinion.
.09/.057 would be sweet, wouldn't it? i'd take that...
but not .04 for VR
I feel the same way...I love working for Keystrokes and feel blessed that I have such a wonderful jo

she's sweet as pie then spits like a cobra. RUN FAR AWAY.

meant sweet not sweek

Don't fall for the sweet talk.
The recruiter is the sweetest person in the world when trying to sucker you in, but will bite you in the back like a viper after a while. The honeymoon phase was wonderful, but then they started changing all the terms that I had agreed to one by one, including a cut in pay. She got really mean and nasty towards then end and I just quit. I didn't need to be treated like that.
a rose by any other name would smell as sweet
And an MT is now a *clerk,* according to the posting on the job board. I'd like to apply for Head Cluck when it becomes available. Then you've got your Lead Cluck, and your Editor Cluck, QA Cluck, Cluck Manager, VP of Cluckdom, Supercluck, CEC and CFC (Chief Executive Cluck, and Chief Financial Cluck) and we all work for Clucks-R-Us. 
Is breaking the law okay if it is a sweet deal? (nm)
I found a sweet job close to my home. sm
I am trying to work outside of my home. I enjoyed my first day and I have my fingers crossed that it will work out. It is not transcription though. It is copy typing and I hope I can become good at it and fast. I hate creeping along at a snail's pace. I'm just used to flying on the keyboard. Good luck everyone.
She's a sweet lady. She has a lot of experience and a lot of stories that go with it.
I like her a lot, but I can kind of see where you are coming from, as whenever I've spoken with her I could pretty much write off the next 60-90 minutes. It was a great time to clean out email, though! (And if you are reading this, you-know-who, it's not a criticism but rather an acknowledgement that you have a LOT of stories to tell!)
Sweet...sounds like when I was in paramedic school
Blood drawing and vitals. I did all that in paramedic school. My MT training a few years ago was much more boring LOL.
Sweet Pete Bayou MT. Part of your responsibility as an MT
is to look up unfamiliar terminology, doctor's names, etc. and MAKE A NOTE OF IT, so you don't have to look it up again. All I can say is good luck with your career as an MT.
I once served frozen yogurt to Sandy Koufax. He was very sweet.
..
TT talks sweet, but I have never desired even a store clerk to call me sweetie . . . those niceties
have never impressed me unless they come from my husband/lover.
I feel the same way. I'm irritable because I feel
and that my years of experience overall, and past few years of busting my @$$ for them hasn't been appreciated or noticed in the least.
We're all just cogs in the wheel.
I know. I feel the same way.
Makes no sense to me..
We've got fiery, feisty redheads all over this country, although my brother and his wife got married in Ireland.
I feel for you
I think I once felt the same way as you. Its ashame what's been happening but it has been happening and some of it for good reason.
I feel the same way. SM
Who are the people who say that they are doing well financially with DQS? I see them on boards saying that DQS is the best platform but I can't figure out how unless they were making a lot less before than I was. It is strange for some people to be doing so badly on the platform and others to be incredibly satisfied and vocal about it.
Feel the same way ever since...
St. Louis and Chicago CSC combined into one - meaning one branch manager for both CSCs.
I have to work day and night between multiple accounts because they recently hired a bunch of new MTs. Talk about overstaffed!
So I guess this is how they repay MTs that have been loyal full-timers for them for many years - replace them with entry-level MTs.
I know the only out is to try another transciption company part-time to see if they're better but I just don't know if I have the energy to do that right now.
I often feel the same way...(sm)
Reading enough, one gets a feeling of hopelessness. VR taking over the better work, leaving the garbage for the rest. I sometimes wish MTs would stop to think what they're actually doing when they readily agree to take on VR editing. It reminds me of all of those IT techs who were forced to train E. Indians to do their jobs, knowing those same E.I.'s would be taking their jobs FROM them. This is actually worse, because those IT's didn't get a pay cut while doing it!
Some will say that you can't stop the technology...
Really? Where would that technology be without us?
Know how you feel sm
I screwed up ilial/ileal. I just said, um, um, you know, I goof this one everytime and always have to look it up, truthfully gave it my best shot. I was wrong and got the job anyway.
Yes, lol! Feel the same.
If you think about it, anyone can basically score perfect on that with an open book and looking it all up on Google. I thought maybe it was timed so tried to rush through. Who knew? If they are not following it up with a typing portion, they're in for a rude awakening! Think about it, a nurse may pass that test with flying colors, but can she transcribe??? JMO.
Don't feel bad.
MT for many years for many companies including two top-20 rated medical centers and didn't pass two online tests not long ago. Both were very, very simple. I think some places are slaves to the AAMT BOS and the slightest deviation from that is counted as an error. Unfortunately, I think some others may discriminate based on age, geographical area, sex, race, marital status, etc., and use (phony) test results as a way to get out of hiring somebody who may be well qualified but may not fit into their sociopolitical clique.
Know how you feel
I did the same thing last year and it was a big mistake. Some people enjoy working for them but I just couldn't make any money. I was on 5 different accounts and they would all run out of work. It was just so frustrated and couldn't live off the money I was making from them. Needless to say, I left quickly.
I wish you much luck!!!!
I feel for you,
got into a bad situation myself with my old job, but everyone's advice has been good, there are jobs out there, you just have to look. I have had a good luck with Keystrokes, you might want to try there. If not, there are others out there. I wouldn't quit your current job until you have something else. Good luck.
I feel the same sm
Taken 1 sick day in 10 years. Always work more than I'm asked to. Never complain and where am I? Without enough work to pay my long distance phone bill (which I never had to pay for in the past). Very discouraging. :(
Think how you would feel (sm)
if you gave notice at your old job and expected to start with the new one and couldn't for 2 more weeks. I think they should be compensated, seems only fair. If I was in that position though, I believe I would have kept my mouth shut.
Used to feel that way but no more.
Unless you get a lot of the same MDs with macros? Seems in these modern times and if you work for a national you never get the same MD twice. And then all the new instruments and unfamilar terms that you have to look up. Now, it's more like give me more H&Ps where I don't have to look much up, anytime! :)
Well thanks ...Now, I feel better. NOT....LOL
Must have been your time. Congratulations and I hope they have an awesome offer for you...
anyone else at DRC feel like
something is wrong. I mean one of our largest accounts is now all of a sudden empty? I work in this account and I find it extremely odd. This place is a huge facility and never having much to any work really should not be an issue. I am already cross trained on something else, but I am getting a bad feeling.
I feel the same way (sm)
I learned a long time ago to enjoy the slow times because it never lasts.
I know how you feel.
I too am in the same boat. The only thing different is I work for another company. From what I can see it sounds like transcription is heading in the direction or VR. They want us to do twice the work for half the money. Most days I struggle to make 12.00 an hour. It is to the point where after transcribing for over 20 years that I will be going back to school and getting as far away from transcription as possible. Between the cut in pay and wondering if I am going to have enough work I am finding that it is not worth staying in this profession. 
I feel
the same way. It's frustrating. I've only been in transcription for 6 years and am ready to get out. I worked in an office for years. I was treated much better in my office job than doing transcription. My family also refers to this as a sweat shop job. I feel stuck right now, but am trying very hard to get my ducks in a row so I can get out of this nonsense. These nationals should be ashamed of themselves. JMHO
Don't Feel the Same
Sorry, but I don't agree with you. Accounts are only hard to the people without the skills to provide a quality product in a timely manner.
All I can say is that at my new job I feel
valued and respected, am well treated, and the pay is more!!!!!
Don't feel bad.....
I'm the same way.....I should have left the Q long ago, but can't get up the nerve......ho hum.....some day! I keep watching the posts for KS, though!
Thanks to both of you! I do feel better right now.....sm
I guess I am just very worried, as many of us are, of NOT getting paid at all, or something being wrong....I guess we are all used to a bi-weekly or weekly check where we can actually see that we are getting paid correctly and on time.....I guess I have to trust that until March 31st, they seem to be a great company, I guess I have just been burned a few times before! Thanks so much for your encouragement and support!
Still feel the same
It is now a year later, are you still happy with Ascend?
Don't feel bad s/m
Just starting your second year I would say you're doing fine. I would expect that you can reasonably expect to see what you made last year come close to being double that in your second year. 
Don't feel bad..........
I have 14 yrs. experience and I've been beating myself up all day wondering how I could have failed their test! Glad we are both currently employed!
Hugs to you Cheri!!!
I feel better now
LOL. I feel so much better now that I've read your post. I've taken a couple of online tests after having been out of this field for about 10 years. I am able to pass the written portions, but haven't done so well with the transcription portions, unless they are really, really clear. I thought it was just me.
