[Sigh] .... I meant 'CAN'T' survive on less.

you are right (sigh)
They "say" that this system can tell if you do that. I believe that it can but I don't think they take the time to check. I know how to cherry pick too, but I don't. That is why I liked it when I used to get paid by the minute. Now that was wonderful! Those days are long though--gone to VR.
sigh
Like I said, it's not the info. It's something else.
& I've been using Belarc for years.
I don't think I could be an MT now, sigh...sm
It's been close to three years since I retired, and I can't believe the changes. I never worked with VR/SR, whatever you call it, so I'm not in a position to say anything about it. I could probably teach terminology, but that's all. I was never a computer whiz, and all this new software alone would be overwhelming.
How can it be profitable to use some of this VR with horrible dictators and then the MT have to spend an hour making corrections to what she could just type in, say, 15 minutes or less? It makes no sense to me, but like I said, I am now out of the current loop for sure.
I remember in May of 1992, the then-JAAMT had a wall poster that said, "Transcriptionists...there is more to medical records than voice recognition." Apparently that is no longer considered true.
Sigh...
I subscribe to the Monster.com daily job finder, that sends me daily job openings in areas that are of interest to me. I found a job this morning for an MT where they required NO EXPERIENCE whatsoever. This was 100% telecommute position. Let that soak in for a minute...Okay. So this company promises at least $7.00 to start, and they will provide a book for you. I guess that's what this has come to nowadays, where they take any Joe Schmo off the street, and say, "Well, here you go. Start transcribing!" Isn't that something? Little Suzie Homemaker who takes this gig, thinking she'll now be able to stay home with her kids and make some money typing is in for a bit of a shock, when she gets a neurosurgical report from Dr. Tadimallakaidanelankea. I wonder what's in that one book that they provide, that will magically turn her into a skilled MT...
No need to sigh....
Some people just like to come off like they are know-it-alls.... drives me insane! Just keep on truckin'; you'll be fine! 
Sigh...unfortunately, I've met people like that. NM

Big sigh of relief
from the other posts I thought perhaps not supposed to claim things for the work I have done at home, even at regular employee. I am spoiled by getting full check but know I have to start putting money back soon.
sigh - main not mail - just got up lol

[sigh..] I know I'll get flamed for this, but - sm
- here goes, anyway! ---- "How funny would THIS be?" 
I know it would be impossible to ever get MTs to stick together on anything, let alone a work-stoppage kind of strike. But can you imagine the hilarity (at least on OUR end, anyway), if for just one week. Heck - one DAY, even -- we all decided to transcribe everything verbatim? And I mean, VERBATIM, not the 'fixed-up' kind of verbatim most of us are expected to do. I mean verbatim, as in if they don't punctuate anywhere in a 3-page letter, they get a 3-page unpunctuated letter. They screw up the 'copy-to' addresses, then instead of spending OUR time looking up the correct address or spelling of the recipient, let it go as-is. If they say "left" and MEANT "right", they get "left". When they bounce back and forth between calling the patient a "he" and a "she", and don't clarify it, then that will be come a report on the world's first simultaneously dual-gender individual. All the little checks and balances, and save-their-@ss type of transcription we do automatically, doesn't get done for one day. Unfortunately, it would probably cause every Editor in the country to simultaneously call in sick with killer migraines. But that's okay, at least it would be FUNNY. And lord knows, this profession could sure use a laugh now and then, couldn't it?
Sorry, 'MT way too long,' my post was not meant for you, it was meant for Wow! Sorry!!...nm

sigh...another report to add gray to the head
Doing a psych eval on a patient I really got caught up in, one of those sad cases that can get to you, feelingbad for the family, traumatic brain injury after an MVA, 23 with 1 yr old twins....has not been the same since, hence needed a psych consult on admission. IF I typed this phrase once I typed it 20 times "patient very highly distressed and anxious"....well so was I by the time I spend 45 minutes for 68 lines ...nope, not ESL, but all American good ol boy, must have had a beard, can't figure out what the static & noise was, but noticed when he blew my ear drums out it was there,,,when he strained them, it was'nt..not sure why he felt he had to whisper on parts then break the sound barrier on others anyway...signed off before another one of HIS reports..geez!
Neither one scared me because they're both fiction!! (Sigh)
(sigh) The M15 split is my dream keyboard.

Everyone said that about DOS in the early 80s
.
I think it is early too..sm
Lots to do after wedding, honeymoon, getting settled, enjoying new life, etc. Big job to write all those thank you notes. I still remember after 40 years struggling to get that done!!!! I bet you'll be getting one. If these people are friends, they're probably like you and raised their daughter to be appreciative. Give it more time.
You were right to get out early
I was very patient with a one of those type clients and had to threaten to take them to court to get the money they owed me.
anyone not any one....sorry -- still early :)
nm
I know it's too early but..
I have hundreds of hotties,beauties and smarties to wish, so I thought to finish off uncles and aunties first.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
sorry, too early
Sorry for the extra "where...." Too early in the morning.
don't type double spaces. Type single. Then no one will be cheated.

Worked in early 90s for 15 cpl
I work in a clinic and am salaried. I decided to pick up some extra work at home and try out one of these companies. Offered 9 cpl...In early 90s, I worked at home for 15 cpl for the local hospital. Who are these companies kidding? What's up with that? I think I'll call the hospital back. But I've heard they are outsourcing now, so they may not pay that anymore either. I believe all these companies out there have been the cause of the drop in OUR pay. Whatcha think?
I have those same symptoms, but I'm in my early 30s.
Have you had a tubal or come off BC pills? I was doing some research the other day and came up with hormonal imbalance, but not estrogen like they think. One of the posters on the Ask the Dr. board recommend progesterone cream for the sore hoohas. Read down the board and you'll see the posts. She said the doctors are mistreating it with BC pills, which only makes it worse.. I'm making an appt w/my doctor and asking for an endocrine evaluation to see how out of whack everything is. FWIW, my former doctor put me on BC pills with Prozac for my PMS. The physical symptoms got worse, while the Prozac made me sleep 12 hours a day, have really wild dreams, and lose all motivation to clean the house or work. I do not like that stuff.
There are there boys here, and believe me, males have their hormonal mood swings, too.
yeah, Aug 1st...seems early to us, too sm
we are working towards year round school. They will have a week off a month this school term. I don't like it, but I wasn't asked! 
I work really early and I already got
my lines done for the day.
"throwing" that is (still early!)-nm

Ran out of work very early on.
Another great pay day! Waiting for hours now...
Born in the early AM and that is when I
function best.
thanks for the early a.m. laugh...NM

I have been QA for TH since early last year.
Go to the company board. I personally think TH QA is very good. They pay hourly and they are very fair to their QA staff, which is more than I can say for most of the services out there. Don't listen to the other poster. Check them out. Trust me, they are worth it IF you qualify.
.12 not .23 - oh brother, too early!
Tired fingers, meant to say even if you have to go from .12 to .11 do it (for now).
Oops, too early
