In Reply to: Halloween party for 6 year olds - Any ideas?
for a Halloween office party. So cute to see a plate of mice with licorice tails and almond ears. She actually put these on a huge cookie sheet with a Rat Cake in the middle. (rat cake was covered in chocote icing-- inside was a red cake, actually quite delicious.) LOL Rats and mice. .... not too scary for that age group though.

Actually, I made just under 56K last year...
It is only in the 40K range for the first year. 
I made $13,000 last year
working full time. Constantly out of work. I moved to a different company in September of last year as an IC QA and still had the same problem.
I made 33K last year. nm

I made $45K last year doing rad, 9 cpl.
I make a lot more there than I do with acute care.
Gotta love it.
I made over $20,000 my first year.
I graduated early this year and I worked 30-35 hours a week and pulled in just over $20,000. I started in acute care and then switched to a clinic account which I make a lot more money on.
Wow. I only WISH I made 31K per year!
Last year I made $36,000...... BUT
I work 12 days on and 2 days off.....anywhere from 8 to 12 hours per day just to make a buck.
If I made $250,000 a year and had Air Force One to myself, I'd
take a lot of vacations, too.
Not getting back - how much we made gross for the year. nm

Full-time without OT. Made about 40K last year. nm

so far no one has posted they've made 100 grand a year. nm

I made 21,000 last year working part time...
hoping when my youngest gets a bit older (she is 16 months) I can make a bit more...
Sickest thing, I made more money my first year as MT as I do now, for working
zz
I made a whole $12K this year, granted when my daughter got cancer in March - sm
my income took a big hit as I went "on leave" from my FT job, and cut back on my PT job drastically. I did not get back to working a more normal schedule until October. I now work 2 PT jobs. So had I not had a 6 month hit in the pocket book I expect I would have made over $20K this year, not a fortune. My goal for 2006 is $24K, and as I am going to try my best to "work smart", I should be able to acheive that, staying disciplined is the key, of which I am sorely lacking. I am lucky that I don't have to live on this though, I'd be starving. As it is I have to play catch up on a lot of bills since I lost 6+ months of income, not fun.
Made 60K last year working 50 hours a week being paid on gross line

worker's comp
Yes you get seen, tell the Doctor/hospital it is a worker's compensation case, they send the bill to the boss, but sometimes the bosses don't like the fact that their premiums may go up because of cases filed against them. This happened to my son, boss made him feel it was his fault for getting hurt on the job, cried about it, then changed his mind and my son told them at the hospital he got hurt on the job but the boss still has not signed the paperwork, so it is now in collection agency and have to straighten out the bill for x-rays and being seen in the ER. My son broke a finger in his left hand, no big deal, but his boss sure made him feel guilty about filing a claim. My son does not work for this company anymore which is a good thing. Of course giving your husband 100.00 is sure way of telling that something is wrong with his boss, maybe too many claims or maybe he is just afraid his premium will go up.
Evil Co-Worker
Anyone else have an evil co-worker or two? I work at home but there's always one that still manages to find me. I would ilke to slap this current one if I could reach her through my computer. She thinks she's my supervisor. I try to be respectful and polite, but that's not working. All my other co-workers are wonderful. I can't find anything in the company handbook about slapping not being appropriate, so that's my next plan of action. I just have to figure out a way to do that through cyberspace.
Evil Co-Worker
I agree! Give her enough rope and evenutally she will hang herself. You are so not alone. I had to deal with one of these types for nearly 2 years. I would be trying to get my work done on my account and her IMs were poping up left and right. I even had my "Busy Working" sign up! She never did her work -- waited until the last minute. Most times I ended up doing her share because of it. Unfortunately, no one in charge seemed to notice or just did not care since I was picking up what she lacked. The money was good because I was getting a ton of extra lines, but it was killing me and destroying my marriage. She would go on and on about her family all the time. Like I cared! Her kids were sick every other day. She always had an excuse why she didn't get her work done. The kicker? Once I had to do her work last minute about an hour or so before it was all due -- I am pounding away on my keyboard she Knows I am doing her work! The IMs pop up telling me how she is helping her sister write a resume! Hello! She should have been doing her own work or at the very least leaving me alone so I could do it for her. I would type my buttock off to have an evening free -- guess what? She would suddenly have some sort of problem as soon as she saw my work was finished and she would then be unable to do her own. Guess what came next? Yep -- I got stuck working while she got away with it. I swear it was like she was stalking me on-line. Don't know how she knew, but seemed like the second I got up to use the bathroom or went to the kitchen for a soda the IMs would bing. Just the memories still drive me crazy. I can relate. It's not a fun club to belong to.
I have never seen a harder worker than
my husband and he can do 2500 tops. He used to QA between 4500 and 5000 daily - so he can really move through reports once he learns the doctor, their style of dictation, etc. I'm on my second VR account and I'm embarrassed to tell you what I can do - I think 600 yesterday? I am dead serious. It is a whole 'nother skill....
A co-worker I once had said that back in the
working at a medical facility, that's how the MTs there normally worked. They sat in the office with the doc and typed the report as he dictated it. Talk about pressure to perform! (But I'll bet when the docs had the MT sitting in their office, their dictation was less sloppy, too!)
worker's comp
Do not quote me on this, but to my understanding if you are an actual employee and they take taxes out, then yes, worker's comp should cover. If you are an independent contractor, then no.
i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
A co-worker of my niece took in a family
When she went to work, they cleaned her out, including her kitchen utensils!!!
Another happy bedroom worker...
My only complaint is that my carpet is cold when I step from my bed 2 inches to my computer during my morning commute...
Basement worker here and hate the 12
steps for my commute! Have a good one!
Then your problem is with the MTSO, NOT your co-worker. nm

worker in S. Florida has a bad 'tude..and...sm
wear these shirts and jackets that say something like "hi, we love to help you" - and they look to run away from all shoppers questions...one has to get a manager for civility at Wal-Marts around S. Florida - this is THE TRUTH (been here 28 years).
ALL I EVER see is disgruntled Wal-Mart workers, never shoppers though. But facts are facts, Wal-Mart has opened up 15 stores in China and China WILL be taking over the world but not in my lifetime.
Best of luck!!
A fellow co-worker said it was all mucked up
last week. I think she's off today though so haven't heard. Wouldn't doubt it.
not eligible for worker's comp
unless you are an employee. ICs are not eligible for worker's comp or unemployment. ICs are expected to carry their own private disability - like AFLAC, etc. - like we can afford that.
Hate to be a downer, just didn't want you to get your hopes up on that one. Sorry to hear about your wrist. Not a good way to start the year. I would check with local assistance office.
Worker's Comp Reports
Hi everyone...I just started typing worker's compensation reports (initials, fu,supps) as well as EMG/NCV reports and PI. What is the charge in the industry? I am hearing anywhere from $7.00/page to 1.35 per audio minute. Most reports are from 7 minutes to 15 minutes so per the inute does not seem right. Anyone out there type medical/legal reports??
Thanks :)
Why I'm FOR unions: They protect the WORKER.

My DD is a social worker and says that she dictates directly into VR
and the report is on her desk when she gets back to the office. She said everyone in her department loves it!
Portal is correct. Co-worker is wrong. nm

In my mind there is a lot more that goes into a good employee/worker (sm)
than production - and you know this as long as you have been in this business!! I would just go on doing what you do best and doing the very best you can and not worry about the figures. Best of luck to you!!
Worker's Comp can be so complicated, and documentation is everything.....
The other complicated issue with this situation is the fact that many physicians are no longer taking on Worker's Comp cases, in new or well established patients, because of the complicated criteria for correct documentation and the long wait on overdue payment from BWC. In my area, several physicians have thrown in the towel with WC cases and no longer handle them. The patients are referred to Occupational Health Services in most cases, or told to go to Fast Track (ER service) for immediate treatment and documentation that is relevant to the injury. It is good if your family physician does accept WC cases. It is also good that he has decided to return the money to his employer and return to the doctor's office and treat the injury as it is, as a work related injury. In a situation like this, Documentation is everything, so the sooner he gets back to the doctor- the Better! Hope all goes well for him.
lol You're no employer, just an unhappy worker trying to cause
Good funny though.
You're a big girl and a skilled worker. SM
If you haven't resolved this problem already, go ahead and do it this morning. You know, as a high-skilled MT you should be making at least 3 times whatever your local minimum wage is. Best wishes.
Yeah, I'll just look into being a migrant farm worker instead then
Reach for those stars!
Don't think the worker privacy acts cover discussions such as this...
more likely they cover things like credit reports, evaluations, etc. It's rude to discuss in front of others, but not illegal...of course, in the US you can sue for anything.
IL Health Care Worker Background Check Act
Type "225 ILCS 46/" in your search engine. It should give you the Health Care Worker Background Check Act for Illinois. There are several proposed amendments regarding non-fingerprint-based ID before the legislature for the 2007-2008 session. I hope this is what you seek.
Excuse me, but who was the health care worker who then disclosed the HIV status?
Ashe's HIV status and career decline. had nothing to do with a healthcare worker disclosing it.
Our neighborhood is all women's names - Robin Ln., Julia Dr. Must be the worker's ladies! :) n

The sister of a co-worker of mine passed away a few weeks before Christmas. Can I still send a *sm*
sympathy card without looking stupid. I have been off on medical leave and various reasons have kept me from getting the card out but I really want to send one.
Mine are in year-round thank goodness! They've started their new year 2 months ago.

Union diesil mechanic - good pay, great benefits. We swap year to year on who brings home more sm
money.....but I am an IC and he has all the benefits...health insurance/dental that the company pays for, pension plan, 401k, etc. Factor all of that in and he makes way more than I do.
to cowgirl - Last I knew, last year the job paid $25,000/year no taxes, etc.
The hospital was bombed about a year ago, but not a lot of damage, very minimal damage.

After I went to a 1-year MT course at a vocational school, it was so bad that I did the 2-year colle
Not only did I finally receive the proper training, but the woman on the advisory board hired and mentored me. I also joined the local AAMT and networked. Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be. A community college will have a good program to include medical language, MT courses taught by local MTSOs, business English, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, etc.
I don't know how it made such a small diff in your invoice... made a $100 diff in mine! (sm)
If it were only adding up to three bucks, I wouldn't sweat it. $100? Yeah, that's baseball registration for my son for this year. I am not giving tabs, returns, etc. away free when it adds up to that much difference! Why should I charge less for a Return than I would for a"K"?
