23K a year - not taxed. Women must walk behind the men, be quiet, and cover their face and head.

They would send me back home in about 2 days or just plain shoot me. I would never make it there.
I checked into it a while back and that was the salary then. It could be more now.
They do set you up with a home and housekeeper free of charge for the length of your stay. I know I would not adjust to their way of life, especially having to walk behind the men and being quiet about everything!

I think he makes $700,000.00 a year, and if they ask him to walk before his first year MQ has...sm
to pay him a cool 1 million dollars. You can check this out at the Medquist website. I think the CFO makes $350,000 a year, and the head of IT makes $250.000 a year.
P.S. This does not include the perks, like expense account, car allowance, sign-on bonus, etc.
All Chris did was cover the band Live's cover of the song. He
didn't do anything special.
5 minutes to myself, quiet, a shower with quiet and no interuptions (never happens) and fresh air -

Help! Have face-to-face interview for at-home hospital job tomorrow and ....SM
I want to ask the most comprehensive questions I can so as to make the best decision possible. I work for a small national right now, pretty happy but would like better benefits, especially more affordable and better insurance. I already know this hospitals pays .09 cpl and .11 if you do more than 1200 lines per day. It's been so long since I've been interviewed in person. I need you guys to help me make a list of questions to ask so that I can just get it all down on paper and make sure I'm not missing anything. I know they use ChartScript and Lanier and that they provide the computer. What else exactly should I ask?
I came across my best friend online, but I have yet to meet her face to face sm
I have known her for several years. We talk a couple of times a day. I have never seen her face to face, but I could not live without her love and support and she feels the same.
I have given my number out several times recently. I have yet to come across a serial killer. They are all MTs. Without exception, they have all been wonderful. In three cases, we are all working on friendship. In one case, I think we will be close in time. We are very similar in many ways and I just think she is wonderful.
I have dated on line and we were together as a couple in person for a year. It was a great experience.
Give notice face to face and (sm)
briefly explain the circumstances. In the same conversation ask if it's ok to use the company as a reference and possibly provide a "To Whom It May Concern" letter of recommendation. Then follow up with a brief letter. A good reference goes a long way, even as an IC!
Correction - Men and women cheat - men get caught - women don't
I know more women who cheat than the other way around, and the difference is that no one knows about it unless THEY tell them.
You are taxed on IC just like your
other job. I work both as an employee and IC also. I just have an extra $10 held out of my taxes at my FT job and that usually covers all my taxes as an IC at is is only a PT job and I don't really make that much with it.
taxed on net income
You take off all your deductions and pay the SS on the net business income. Then you take that income, deduct half of the SS, your personal deductions and pay federal income tax on that net.
LOL! Yes Bama is its own little sin-taxed planet!
LOL!
I meant to say *US firms are NOT taxed to the max* ! nmsg

Have a face-to-face talk with your son!
Tell your son you love him and care for him, but you are just not happy about his soon to be wife/lesbian calling his mother/soon-to-be mother-in-law these nasty things. Tell your son that if he wants any part of his family then he needs to talk to his girlfriend and tell her that she needs to respect his mother or things will sure be hell down the long road. You know how it is when you do not get along with in-laws. Sounds like your son had a lot of communicating to do or you may not respect him anymore.
face to face demeanor is always different...sm
guess they figure if you can't see 'em, they can be themselves.
I know their demeanor is different face to face,
but if they treat the medical record with such little regard, I really wonder what kind of ethics they have regarding the medical care given to their patients.
Ooops, sorry. My last post said "head head." I meant "her head." Sorry.
Women, especially women of childbearing
age (especially this woman) prefer indoor plumbing and a bit of privacy rather than using a port-a-potty. I met a woman recently, she and her husband built the house behind me. She is also a master mechanic and does landscaping, all traditional male professions. She is a bit rough around the edges and I would never have pictured her with the man who is her husband.
I know a few male MTs and if they aren't gay, they missed a good chance.
It is about more cover up
There isn't one thing liberal about it. It is about, as noted, covering it, glossing right by it .. better than the rest of us .. rules don't count .. do what you want .. you run the show attitude that these idiots have adopted in their bid to right wing the world and do what they want. Does Dick Cheney really need to be out shooting birds??? My God, he actually makes George look like the smart one now!! Scares me too death to know these fools are in the woods playing with guns.
Just have to cover yourself
I have an account that asks that I not use subcontractors but for vacation it is okay and I know if I had a two week illness or something they would be okay with it but for everday use, they don't want anyone but me. But again, I only work with verbal contracts and I know that means I could be let go at any time but so could they. I have asked my accounts every year for the past seven to ten years if they want a contract and they say no need for it. So we just keep on plugging along with each other.
Most likely will not cover
Unless they are considered a "dependent" and living with your or their main residence is with you when not attending college, they will not cover. Once they reach the age of 18, they must be attending college/school full-time and you have t have a form filled out by the school. Sorry.
ps CTA meaning to cover their a**.

Is this the same as Sheer Cover?
and wondered if it was any good; it's less expensive than Bare Minerals, I think. It seemed that in the infomercials, they applied a lot of concealer beforehand, so I was wondering what the difference was from using liquid makeup and then powder to set. ?
I use Sheer Cover . .
They let me order only two times a year. They also break the payments into two payments. I was going to cancel, and they said I could get the kit without the face wash and moisturizer, so it's a pretty good deal. I like it very much.
You can cover dependents (but I think it's SM
pretty pricey) and office copays are $20.
WC does not cover CPS any longer. They sm
have determined that it is not caused by typing. Can you believe that?????
Take the cover off the litterbox.

Cover letter
I am a professional resume writer, as well as an MT for some years now. It is advisable to send a cover letter with the resume as it shows you have an interest in the company and it is a means of introducing yourself. If I can be of further help, please e-mail me.
But I do know myself. I am quiet and keep to myself
tragedy. So I'm pretty sure I'd look WITHIN and gather strength and then focus that on my kids and getting them through school. Plus I'd need to so some weight losing/revamping to go looking for another man!
But the "traumatic amputation" thing. I just posted about that the other day on another board, saying my aunt told me when my uncle died it was not like a death, it was like an amputation, because they were so close. Just wondered if you picked that up from there.
It's quiet to me!
I get up way earlier than my husband and our bedroom is right across the hall from my office. He never hears me typing! And the 3 choices of backlighting is awesome! I love the Saitek!! I've had it almost a year and will say the N and D key have white blotches over the letters, but hey, I know what they are! That's the ONLY drawback to this keyboard that I can find. I will always have one!
quiet
Conjunctivae, not conjunctivas
quiet
Anterior chamber is quiet? Could it be: Conjunctivae clear, sclerae anicteric, anterior chamber is quiet?
He has been really quiet
for like 2 or 3 days 
I think most MTs like quiet
and solitude and are more introverted than extroverted. Most people don't understand the nature of the job and the skill set it requires along with the personality. We are not librarians but we have to have the aptitude and the research skills that most librarians have along with a desire for knowledge and understanding of medicine. People who have to be around people all the time naturally would think people who worked from home and actually liked it were odd. Just look at all the people looking for jobs they can do at home these days. Most people think jobs from home are scams. MT is a legitimate job and for some quite lucrative. No one has it easy these days with the job market the way it is so maybe some people only wish they had MT skills and get frustrated because they are stuck and have to play the people game every day.
So, if I hire someone to cover a specific
eight-hour period and she decides she wants to stop after six hours and spend the last two hours of her shift making dinner, how is the work that comes in during those two hours supposed to get done? Or does that not matter in your world? I have contractual TAT to meet, and I determine schedules on that basis, not on someone's dinner plans. If an employee of mine agrees to cover a specific period of time but fails to do so for something other than a legitimate emergency (and the OP was clearly already making plans not to work the full eight hours of her shift), then that employee is fired. I can do that. I have done that. I don't care how much work gets done in the first six hours. If someone has a specific eight-hour shift, it's because there is work to be done during all eight hours. Leaving the last two hours of work undone on a whim could put me out of business. I will not allow some little princess to do that to me.
A good of thumb is 30%, that should cover everything.

Well, I read in the cover story of the TV...sm
I read in the TV book a story about this season of the Sopranos and they did say Tony does get knocked off....but Uncle Jr is the only one in the house, completely flipped out, and Carmela is out and about but about to get in her new car and drive home. I'm thinking that Tony dies and she has got that new car and perhaps the police will think she had motive to kill him........ohno....
Uncle Jr is totally *out to lunch* at the moment in my opinion.
Thanks for the optimism though!!! 
be sure your insurance will cover surgery AFTER sm
he's going to lose so much weight the skin will be hanging and a lot of insurance companies will not pay for "cosmetic" procedures like tummy tucks, etc. to get rid of the excess skin. Just be aware. Good luck!!
question about cover letters
If the job ad says send your resume, do you send a cover letter also?
When account specifics does not cover
I usually refer to BOS and it states to add the year if not stated - if you are sure of the year. Also - interestingly enough - it says if you are doing long dictation and doc says labs done on April 4, 2006 are.........and then says additonal labs 4/5.... okay to used slashed date - this is on page 121 of BOS edition 2 if you are interested. That being said don't think you would be WRONG to leave off the year if it is verbatim account :))
I have been there -just say "I'm so sorry" and stay quiet.
a cooked meal sounds great!!! A good time to do that is after the hoopla has died down and she is faced with emptiness. That is when most people think you should be *over it* - she won't ever be. If you are a close friend, send her a card on the child's next birthday and on the 1st anniversary of his/her death. The mother will love you for it. Mention the child in conversation whenever you can, but don't force it.
and p.s., you are entitled to your own feelings, so gripe about anything you want!
Transcribe it and keep quiet. sm
We're professionals. We do our job and we keep any info learned to ourselves. I've even typed reports on family members. Never disclose any info you learn as a part of your job.
You lucked out is all if it was quiet....sm
But most MDs dictate near the unit stations where the nurses and other people are talking loud and seemingly don't care that there is an MD there trying to dictate.
I STILL work for MQ (only on weekends for 9 years and work privately during the week). They quit the *cesspool* stuff and have given us all 3 accounts (possibly more for other people). I sometimes do get a 4th account if all my 3 others are done.
Have a good one!!! 
what if your environment is quiet?
anyone have suggestions for headphones that provide the best sound optimization and clarity? i work at home alone in the office in my basement, so i hear nothing from outside and don't have anyone home making noise.
Some just can't be quiet and have to ruin it for others.
I agree.
The disney tickets cover 4 parks so you are not set in where you go- sm
They cover Disney, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and MGM-Studios. With a park hopper pass you can bounce between all 4 Disney parks in 1 day and it only counts as 1 day/ticket. Without the hopper option you can only go to 1 park that day, of course these are a little cheaper. Check out the Disney web site, it will explain all the ticket options so you know what to ask for when you do get your tickets. Universal is separate, is 2 parks in one basically, one side is more kid oriented than the other. Sea World is separate too, they have a few rides there now too.
homeowners ins doesn't cover this? *curious*
I have an HMO for Small Business Owners. I also have homeowner's insurance and I have my computers fully stealthed (per HIPAA laws) so no crackers/hackers can gain access. Actually I have many programs protecting all this medical record stuff. But I thought homeowner's covered the professional liability insurance when we own our homes and work from home (?)
Oh well, I am sure that Florida will be one of the last states to change over for MTs. *lol* - perhaps by then, I'll be out of the business/retired/permanent vacation...isn't THAT wishful thinking now?!...HAHAHAHA
I use the stereo headphone type that cover - sm
your whole ear. My first set (Aiwa) cost about $30 and lasted about 3 years, second, bought an expensive ($130) noise-cancelling set (Sony). They lasted about 18 months and were not as comfortable and went bad (one side has a bad hum to it now and are unusable---cord pulled out from plug --I unplug them at least several times a day to listen through the speakers --helps me get words I cannot "hear", guess it could not handle that). Just got a set of Maxells for $35, also noise cancelling (don't use that option though), that are very comfortable, block out lots of noise and with any luck will last a long time. I may just go buy another set now so I have them for backup when the time comes, hopefully in 3-4 years. --So obviously it depends on the brand and how hard you are on them.
They can't "tell you when" to work, but if they need someone to cover certain hours ...
such as noon to 8 pm it's up to you whether to accept the work or not, you are still an IC. I had a job doing radiology where I "had" to be online between certain hours and work had a 4-hour TAT. I was an IC, I only had to work those hours because I AGREED to it. So in effect I did "choose" to work those hours, I could have turned down the job if I didn't want to work those hours.
Egg on Face...
I do apologize - I guess I was in my "MT Mode" and not my "Human Being Mode" when I posted that - all I could think about was OSi, the MT company. Sorry about that and hope things work out!
we have to face that MT is not the
same as it used to be. Five years ago or so you would have been able to get what you stated but now it is nearly impossible unless you obtain your own account. I have been doing this for 16 years and I have seen that the MT pay keeps on declining. I am looking into another profession. It has just become too stressful to try to make a decent living on the pay any more and just tired of the whole thing with offshoring, etc. Take care
The face
My word, if I had a face like that I would sell eye liner or something. Maybe they mean some people type with their looks? Hmm. I really think it is an unprofessional ad.
Let's face it
Things are going to change. We don't know to what degree, but I'm pretty sure jobs will be cut and consensed, so you can bet many of us will feel it in some way.
I think our whole society is going to go through a major restructure; there's just no way around it.
