geez or not geez, it's you who has to polish up her grammar...sm
Prove that conjunctions cannot be used to start a sentence, I just proved the contrary in my 2 lower post. Read it, so you can better you grammar.

Nevermind on Softscript.... too many bad things
more people have had problems than not... I would just skip that one and go for JLG... except for no DD (with JLG) which is a concern, but at least the job would be tolerable there...

Geez...
wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning???
geez!
Lighten up. I never claimed each and every one of the gaffs in my post would happen in a single report! (explanation point) Just trying to show the range of possibilities and provide a little fun at the same time.
And to those who say we must adapt, some species will just take themselves out of the gene pool, rather than lose their wings and become ground dwellers. The advent of computers (like losing flippers and growing legs) was a boon to this profession, one to which I was happy to adapt because it was beneficial to me. Not really sure what I would be getting out of adaptation to VR, other than being allowed to do something kinda like my old job, that I don't enjoy nearly as much as my old job, for a lot less money than my old job. Just doesn't seem like a good plan, but then that's just me.
geez...
do you also begrudge the lady using the insurance for her breast cancer or the guy with the MI??? Health insurance has always paid for pregnancy-related charges. And women have taken maternity leave. why is this a big deal for everyone now? would you like her to schedule her delivery for friday so she can recuperate over the weekend and be back at her desk on Monday?
Oh geez!!!
You just put into writing my worst fear, the one I was afraid to mention, that they perhaps are offshoring. It's just so unlike my experience with them to be met with dead silence and a lack of explanation from management about work being slow. One poster even tried addressing D directly to no avail.
The silence is deafening.
I hope we're WAY off base on this but with no other explanations coming from the higher ups, it does leave a lot of room for speculation.
Hoping for the best for all of us at MDI-MD right now...
To Geez
I know you did not mean to offend and I was not. :) The one thing we can all say is that MDI MTs are a cohesive group of respectful MTs, especially of each other. We are all on this ship together although in different ways. I am lucky so far in that I transcribe private office accounts. Therefore, the work is my own and only if a doctor is on vacation or sick, is my work load super low. I make 9 cpl and have not asked for any more in 3 years and never will. I cover for other MTs on vacation who also have private accounts. I do not do hospital work and now I think I may be more grateful than ever that I do not. However, I only average 800-900 lines per day and sometimes less. I dropped my commitment to 800 when 2 private accounts left. The one major complaint I have with MDI is when physicians take their business to another service or utilize another technology MDI never tells you. You sit and look at an empty template for days wondering if they are sick, on vacation or dead! No one says anything until you just figure (or finally hear it from your TL) that this doctor/practice left MDI.
Geez!
Okay fine, the experienced receptionist would get 50 cents more an hour....happy now? Ohhh, ahhhh!!! Good grief!
Geez!
So if you are one of the lucky MTs who got your wages cut, you can look forward to no milk and sewing your own clothes and adding patches and sparkles when they rip. Just shoot me already! Oh, you guys are killing me with the drama!
Geez, just let it go....nm

Geez!!
I am soo sick and tired of the sniping on this board!! Its either the great debate re: VR versus I only wanna work days -- To NEWBIES -- I have been in this profession over 30 years -- therefore, the days, the hours off that I want take precedence over your wants, needs or groans -- I have also worked in the corporate world and if you are low man on totem pole -- TOUGH!! I also had the guts/nerve to tell my employer that due to where I lived I had to have a raise to deal with COLA -- guess what??? I have it - and BTW -- no I am doing straight transcription and NO we are not hiring so dont ask
Well geez!
That oughta make 'em all feel a whole lot better!
I had over 40 years in the business and guess what? I used to be just as arrogant as you but after buy-outs, mergers and all the rest, it got ME. Time was when I wanted a raise, I asked for it...and got it. I never worked a weekend until I VOLUNTEERED to work weekends after my kids were grown so others might have time to spend with their families. No way would I get back in the MT business!! I'd flip burgers first. And... no way would I do VR at 3-4 cpl. Your time will come, trust me.
I'm not judging...GEEZ
It just gets frustrating to read these down and out posts about MQ going under, we're all in trouble, its doom and gloom. There have been a lot of changes, I have had my bitter moments too, but I have nothing to fall back on. If you people do not have PROOF of what is GOING to happen, do not post false threats!! This is our livelihood, and its trickling away bit by bit. All I see is a bunch of people complaining nonstop, if you're that unhappy, why don't you do something about it? Either that or go along with the changes. This industry is going downhill, we are expendable, I feel that our days are numbered too, but i'm going to do whatever work is thrown at me until that day. I'm a remote worker, just a number who has no voice. My supervisors are secretive and down-talk me as well, but it does no good to come on here and threaten us and scare us all into believing we are this close to ending up flat broke and on the streets. You people posting such things, copy and paste evidence that the changes are going to be for the worse in regards to MQ pay plan, accounts switching, MQ being bought out, getting rid of seasoned MTs. PROVE IT!!! Or else you're causing a stir for no definitive reason for all of us who are under a lot of stress and uncertainty as it is!
Thank you. Geez! I had no idea. sm
What Business Journal are you referring to? Would love to see the info you are talking about. Thanks again!
Geez, can you get any snottier?
What a poop.
Geez, do you believe everything you read?
You don't have a first-hand experience with OSi and yet you advise someone to run, run, run? You know, maybe we who are having a great experience with OSi don't spend all of our time here posting, and what's the point anyway? We're usually overrun with the few who post over and over again about staying away. I actually am extremely happy with OSi, and in fact my last two weeks of October I had my largest line count ever. My point is, I think you can't believe everything you read on these boards, and it's really not right and kind of strange to step up and advise someone to run when you really have no first-hand knowledge of working with this company.
Geez, just saw that TransHealth wants Sat AND
That seems pretty rigorous. Are Sat and Sun schedules requested a lot out there? I'm thinking more and more that I need to leave this career.
I don't think she was talking to you. Geez.
She was addressing me, trying to figure out if I was being serious or sarcastic with MY post.
Geez that is a bit extreme
Well she is probably like me. I make mistakes like anyone else and if I am typing on here I might make one and not double check myself as much. You can tell if they are intelligible by the rest of their post. She just made a typo or two. We are not perfect in this world. We come here for support on this board not criticism. That is just my opinion on this issue.
Not sure who anyone of the Geez's is talking to.
Again, I don't believe anything necessarily (please count my R's for me), but its this exact sort of inflammatory defensive posting against any negative posts that is a real turn off for most of us who juse peruse this board (please count my R's for me). Soon L at KS will be here, if she isn't already, defending a river (please count my R's) and citing, or is it siting, or is it sighting, all the perceived injustices levied, or is it lobbed, against her company. Good Grief (please count my R's)...
I mean where, GEEZ, long day! NM

GEEZ people...
This company, whoever they are, will probably never ever post here again after all the harrassment they have received. So what if they don't want to give their name. A lot of places don't. I have two companies that I work for now that didn't list their names either when I applied and they have turned out to be the best jobs I ever had. It's a need-to-know basis. If you were hired by them or tested for them, then you know their name. If not, what do you care?
And to Editors Needed...please disregard the nastiness of some people. You don't own them any kind of response.
You don't need to be so defensive...geez!
I wouldn't know about the other docs because the account I was on was ALL ESL, very, very difficult to understand ESL's, and one physician that was just impossible to understand, and every time I logged on, it was always him on there. I realize there are ESL's everywhere because I do them on a daily basis, but he was the WORST one I have EVER had and the others on that account were terrible as well. Let's face it...you can't make any money if you can't understand what they are saying. I told them I could not understand them and nothing was ever done about it and I wasn't going to stick around long enough to be their gofer! Like I said, I was disappointed about it, but we all have to pay the bills and I couldn't do that with them! Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a REALLY bad account there and they should be well informed on what they are accepting beforehand.
Oh geez, that's not true about not doing well
If I were the OP, I would drop an e-mail just stating you are following up on your testing results. Good luck! 
My apologies...Geez
I hope it didn't appear as if I were biting your head off because I'd never do that to a fellow MT when we're in the same boat. I'm just exasperated and frustrated (and going broke now, lol!).
In all honesty, I was very offended by this morning's email when I know several of us have been emailing inquiring about where the work has gone, is there work available on another account, etc., only to have our cries for help fall on deaf ears.
I can't help but wonder if these new accounts are going to be VR accounts, which is why they're hiring a whole new crew since the last account they went to VR was met with such resistance by so many MTs.
Either that or perhaps the above poster is correct and they'd like to drive out the longer-term, higher-salaried MTs...But I don't want to believe that.
Anyway, my apologies if my response to your other post seemed abrupt. I just don't want anyone at MDI thinking if their work disappears that it's as simple as requesting a backup account, when the past month or so have made it painfully clear to those of us who have tried to get more work that it's not the case.
Good luck to ALL of us, not only at MDI but every other MT who is having their work disappear.
Gee, could it be they are getting new accounts and growing? Geez

Geez. Pay the woman if she worked for you. nm

Geez, nothing like that for me. I have employee+children

Geez, this is why I quit posting here.
