I can feel your frustration. If you really want to do this, don't give up. I don't know if the company still owing you a paycheck is a local or national, but there is nothing to stop you from contacting local doctors, etc. to find out if you can do their overflow work. The worst they can say is no thanks. Don't limit yourself to doctors, either - think outside the box to physical/sports medicine (repetition so can be good pay), chiropractors, insurance agencies/detective agencies, etc. The more you get your name out there the better your chances of getting a phone call. There will always be people who don't sign on to nationals, but it's up to YOU to find them.  Good luck and hope something happens for you soon.

I got approached about possibly doing the transcription for a local doctor office - 4 doctors.  I have DSS player and they have used DSS system before, but how would I get the files from their computer to my computer.  Could they load them into a folder and then winzip them and sent to me? Is there an easier way?

I know this was discussed before. I had no idea then I might get this opportunity, so I didnt pay much attention to the post. 

When everything hit the boards a few days back, you (well, whoever is running the board these days) stated that if anyone had a problem and wanted to leave this board, send a message and write "unsubscribe" in the message line.

I did that and just did a test post to see if you unscribed my email address.

You haven't.

I think everyone here is watching your actions and I expect you to unscribe me. I am posting this in public as you failed to respond to a private email.

But I still know what you mean.  I sometimes type things that I don't agree with.  But his opinions, his take, I am just the MT. 

then send it on it's way.  My latest QA score was 99.4. 

This is an intense job, and you have to really concentrate on the screen.  That's why the burn out factor is so huge.  I have tried listening and proofing every report again, and rarely found a mistake.  If I did this all the time, it would cut my pay in about half, and would not be worth the effort. 

You had answered my previous post concerning the Aeron chair and I am really convinced that I want one.  But how comfortable is the seat after several hours?  I am sick of foam that packs down.  I bought a molded gel cushion that looks like a honeycomb, but even this gets "hard" after a while.  Would appreciate your comments. 

That Tuesday that Star made her announcement....she had ALREADY gone to People Magazine PRIOR to the Tuesday show.......and spewed to them first - thereby sabotaging ABC's/Barbara Walter/Star Jones' already agreed upon announcement for that Thursday. 

Star did this with the intention of *if I'm going down, I'm taking all of them down with me* and as a result, the View has lost viewership and probably will never come back as the once-good show it used to be.  Star definitely did this with an ulterior motive and then tried to act like the VICTIM.  Many saw right through this!  How is someone going to STAB their *mentor* in the back like she just did?

Remember Joan Rivers?  She did something similar to her *mentor* Johnny Carson and he never forgot it.!!!

Hopefully, Star Jones will become blackballed from Hollywood, albeit next week she is hosting at 10 pm House Hunters on HGTV. 

I'm more annoyed to read that she is married to a Muslim *who hates Jews* - I did read that online in one of many articles.  And then to listen to Star push Xtianity on The View seemingly contradicts her line about *it's very important that both married people have the same beliefs and religion* - is that an open admission that Star is now a *Muslim who hates Jews*?  *curious* and not a religious discussion.  Merely a discussion on Star's credibility which, to me, is NIL at this point.

all the major TV stations and aired on prime time. 

of my supervisor, who brought it to the attention of the doc.  She said that he got huffy and argued that there WAS such a word as "equivocable" and that he wanted me to type it.  This is not a mispronounced way of saying "equivocal".  I found that out when I flagged it the first time.  The doc actually thinks that is a word, and nobody is able to tell him otherwise, not even a dictionary entry!  That was when my boss asked me to note it on my log every time he did it so that we were covering ourselves. 

Then the doc got annoyed that I was putting it on my log.  Because, after all, it was saying that the Great One was wrong! Horrors!  So then she asked me to take it off the log.  The problem with just typing in equivocal is that it is a verbatim account and this doc has it in his pea brain that "equivocable" is a word.  Secondly, there are times when he says his made-up word when the context would suggest "equivocal" and ALSO when the context would suggest "unequivocal".  I am not an MD, so I don't want to guess at which of these two very different meanings he intends based on the context, you know? 

I think I am going to take the advice of the MT who suggested keeping a copy of my files, which I do, and keeping a copy of the email where my boss asked me to stop flagging "equivocable" on the log.
