Better a turkey widow then a turkey dish
Sorry for your loss!
annual income
Watch out, you will be accused of being childish from the same person who refers to "some" fellow MTs as unfortunately not having a brain. Hmmm, pot calling the kettle black? That was so rude and so not called for.....is that necessary!
the ANNUAL rate is $ 30.--...nm

Question for everyone. Do you take annual vacations. If so, where? We take 3 or 4. nm
nm

GO FOR THANKSGIVING!
You asked for opinions, so I'll give you mine. I know you have decided you won't go, but here is my take on that issue. You may not like your stepmother or her children. But your father is still your father. My Dad died just over 2 years ago. What I wouldn't give to have him back just for a Thanksgiving Day. You can get over your personal issues with your step family for the weekend and go and be with your father if you choose. Or you can let these "issues" get to you and choose not to go. Your father won't be here forever. None of us will. Love him while you can. Love yourself enough to be big enough to go and see him. You will never regret that. You WILL regret one day that you didn't go, and you won't be able to change it. You DID ask for opinions. That's all. Please reconsider. You don't have to stoop to your stepmother's level. Be the bigger person. LOVE YOUR DAD WHILE HE IS STILL HERE!!!! Be THANKFUL for him.Off my soapbox. Peace.
Thanksgiving
I am a newbie at this and so far no one has said anything about working Thanksgiving. Do most companies just expect you to work if you are an IC. I work for a small company in Florida and have not received any e-mail or anything about what I do tomorrow - should I e-mail them or just assume I do not have to work. Thank you.
Thanksgiving
I kkow that a paper route doesn't really count...but if Thanksgiving falls on a regular day, (which it does) then I am expected to "work" that day.
Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Thanksgiving
Thank you very much. I actually found a pretty good sample. I also found some sites in archives.
Thanks (once again) to all you kind MTs.
Anyone going to the AAMT Annual Convention in Honolulu?
Whooly Cow! Just visited the website and registration cost is anywhere from $295, member (early regis) to $600 nonmember (late regis)! Plus of course, flight, hotel, transportation. GEEZ!
ANNUAL vacations?? lol I haven't had a vacation
nm
it's GREAT pay for India, annual income...sm
did you read this paragraph from the OP? $135 a week is EXCELLENT PAY for India.....yielding around $8000 annually, so when compared to their average $500 annually - it's 40-fold......here's that paragraph from OP:
"Jaggesh may do 1,000 lines a day. At the average pay rate, that would earn her roughly $27 a day, or $135 for a five-day week -- good wages in India, where the average annual income is about $500."
-----------------------
thing about MTs in India are they are all business-degreed, college graduates, and average age is 27. things about us MTs in USA are we are not *degreed* (most of us), we ARE college educated and/or grads (I would like to think most of us), but our average age is......so I have read......49.....so there is where I see the competition.
It's so unfortunate.....the entire world is youth-oriented......not just here. We put in our blood, sweat, and TEARS for the better part of 20-40+ years for most of us here in the USA doing this work and professing it and getting it so the BOS even went from 90 pages in the 80s to nearly 600 pages in the 2000s. THAT WAS DUE TO US - nobody else.
so give yourselves an ATTA-GIRL or ATTA-BOY here....I sure am thankful for all I've learned in this BIZ and continue to learn...so many decades later - so unfair that we are losing all the work to overseas.
Anyone else stressed out by Thanksgiving?
It seems like there is always SOME sort of drama going on in my family whenever we get together - we're somewhat dysfunctional, LOL. I always find myself dreading the holidays and I hate that - I should be looking forward to being with my fam (mainly my four sisters). They seem to always be in a state of crisis or jealousy whenever I see them. ARGH. Anyone relate?
Happy Thanksgiving everybody...
Happy Thanksgiving to All...
Just thought I'd share this site in case some of you haven't seen it.. Turn your speakers up and enjoy! I thought it was cute!

Any MTs going to Honolulu next month for the AAMT annual meeting?
Are there any MTs who can afford to go? Are there any hospitals or MT companies who will pay for their MTs to attend the meeting in Honolulu?
Do you suppose next year's meeting might be in Bangalore or Bombay?
Annual salaries of full time transcriptionists
For the veteran's out there- What is your average annual salary (working from home). Also, the companies that offer full time transcriptionists benefits, are the benefits any good?
Did anyone attend the AAMT annual meeting in Honolulu? sm
If so, how was it? Was it well attended? Were the speakers good?
What is your annual salary working at 8 cents per line? nm
s
Can anyone tell me the average hourly rate or annual salary for sm
in-house hospital employee around Carmel Valley? Hourly range or annual salary.
Thank you so very much for any information!!
Not the AD but when that other giveaway was going on - sm
I found it once on the WAHM board, so I would presume the Secret Santa can be on any board listed to the left. Remember it looks like any other post....at least in that last giveaway it did; hence it is very hard to find.
I wouldn't wait, since Thanksgiving is such...
a good time to show the house. All during the holidays, with families visiting and such, is a very good time for homes to sell.
It is absolutely HER job to show your house. She should also only be bringing pre-qualified buyers. She should also abide by your request regarding when the house may be shown. After 3 is certainly not unreasonable, assuming you aren't including weekends in that. Many buyers are out and looking earlier on weekends.
In any case, I would call her broker and change agents NOW, if I were you. Why waste another few weeks, or even days, when it is only delaying the sale of your home.
Just my opinion.
Why I'm still married - a Thanksgiving story
Not much to many maybe, but my husband still surprises me sometimes.
He works 3rd shift as a dock supervisor at a local shipping company that's only about a mile from our house. He doesn't like to think of himself as "supervisor" because he's always been a team player.
Because they load trucks to ship out the next morning, he had the night before Thanksgiving off, but had to go in at 8:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving night. "Lunch Break" is right around midnight and he found out that one of the younger single guys hadn't had Thanksgiving dinner because he had to stick around to go to work instead of going to visit family.
So I hear a bit of commotion in my kitchen around 1:00 a.m. and find that my husband had brought the guy to the house and had warmed up Thanksgiving Dinner for their lunch break.
Now isn't that just too sweet?
Of course they left me the dishes, but oh well.
Belated Thanksgiving thought
Thank you to MT Stars for not only being willing to let us express our opinions, but also for not censoring them. This bulletin board has more frank and direct information regarding working conditions and companies as an MT that without MT Stars, there would be a lot of wool pulled over MTs eyes. This board is 100 times more valuable than paid boards, because paid boards are so worried about stepping on any toes.
and a bountiful blessed Thanksgiving to YOU as well. nm
nm
Happy Thanksgiving Holiday to all...sm
and I am sure gonna try to not overeat!! 
ENJOY Y'ALL!! 
Are you kidding? After reading the health department's annual review, I NEVER eat out.
Especially at a fast food place. They always have long lists of violations, plus, after a look at the fingernails and hair on some of those people, I wouldn't feed my dog there.
They do list restaurants that maintain high standards of cleanliness with no violations, so if I'm in the mood for a long drive, I'll go to one of those.
I do miss eating out.
You must realize, that annual salary is at a much higher line rate sm
than 9 or 10 cpl. I posted my monthly income, but that is at 13 cpl. I also work as an IC with my own client and not for a MTSO.
So, if you work for the MTSO, it is likely your line rate is lower and it will take more hours to achieve that higher salary.
Don't feel small or discouraged. You too can do it ~ that is if you want your own client or to work straight for a facility.
It takes a lot of time searching for jobs and applying and calling before you find it. I can tell you, it literally took me about 80 hours to find my dream client. But, they are out there. I chose not to work this route, but that does not mean what you are doing is anything less or small.
Best wishes to you!
Thank you MTstars for doing the giveaway again!

Thank you guys so much for my gift certificate from Lisa R from Wolcott NY. It is much appreciated.
it's not slow at my company - overloaded since Thanksgiving
nm
Cripes - not even Thanksgiving yet, and I've run out of work.
.
don't do annual but do big trips every few years. Last year went to Africa including safari
spent 18 days - one day traveling there, (stopping in for a day in London), then two weeks working at an orphanage and girls vocational school, safari on the weekend, then two days of travel back. Whew!
It says you must enter each giveaway to be qualified
I think that means each different one you need to enter separately. that is the way the posts sounded to me anyway.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all MTStars members! Have a great day!

Happy Thanksgiving from all the staff & moderators at MTStars!
GOBBLE!
I just had to write and wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Enjoy the day, whether you are working o
Happy Turkey day!
Excuse me, but I don't see any other MT site putting on a giveaway
for MT Week. I have gone to a lot of trouble to ask sponsors to graciously donate items for our annual giveaway. I have gone to a lot of trouble to make this a nice event, including banners, posts with full details on how to enter and by the amount of emails we are receiving people are managing to enter just fine. Sorry if you don't like my response, but it's just not that difficult to enter.
