All weekend the connectivity has been absolutely awful. I have Time-Warner Cable (formerly Adelphia). Anyone else having problems or is it just because I had a mental meltdown Friday and this is a sick form of retribution from the gods?

new job woes... :(
UGH! I just started a new job with a great company. The people are wonderful. The training is great...but... I am so frustrated! I have typed for 6 years and thought I was ready to take on bigger and better challenges. At my previous job, on eScription, my production was great! I could edit about 1500 lines in 4 hours. I have not typed in years. Now, I am typing again, and it took me 8 hours to type 51 minutes of ESL op notes. My brain is fried and my body hurts. How do ladies do this? I am no where near 1000 lines for the day and I don't even know if that is doable with these docs and my fat fingers. Is it going to get easier or am I in way over my head here? What do I do? Just venting... thanks for reading.
new job woes
How long have you been on your new job and what does your new company say about productivity requirements and how long you have to meet them? Even with experience new accounts, docs and platforms take time to learn, especially the ESL's and mumblers of the world. I know where you are coming from because I constantly change accounts, and bounce back and forth from VR, editing, and straight transcription not to mention they are all on different accounts...it isn't easy so don't be too hard on yourself.
re: lawyer woes
He can in fact charge you for the phone calls (consult) about the car, but not the service he failed to perform regarding this.
As far as the car title goes, he can request in the divorce that your husband sign it over to you (possibly arguing that you paid for it, etc.), but I don't think unless a judge orders it, your ex has to even sign it over, unfortunately. In my case, the car wasn't yet paid for and was in my husband's name. He suggested that we go and get the title/loan transferred into my name if this is what we agreed on. Technically speaking, however, the loan was in his name and if he so chose, he could have taken the car. That's why I say a judge has to be the one to order the transfer should the ex refuse.
I'd definitely confront the lawyer and ask him why the charges when he failed to even act on your request. That's bull**** in my opinion. I'm quite sure he's made a good deal of money off this already. Good luck.
More Autotext woes.
So I started (or so I thought) building my Autotext back up because I LIKE using F3 and only having to remember 1 abbreviation to get 5 different expansions. My line count went down 500 lines going from having it to not having it.
BUT when I went to save it and copy it to my new file, it was the same size as when I started, and I checked the normal.dot several time while I was working and it was always the same exact size as when I started. What do y'all think is going on?
wave player woes
check your file type after you hit open on the wav player. Tell it to show you all files. Your first file may be a wav and the second a dvf or some other file type.
My Foot Pedal Woes
I am going to try that setting. Thanks much!!
Foot Pedal Woes
I had been using an IN-BMG foot pedal with an adapter while working using MT World software. Well, all of a sudden, my foot pedal would not work. The fastforward started playing garbled, and the play would not play. The fastforward would just skip to the end. I then tried to use an Infinity IN-BMG foot pedal. It too did not work. I ordered a new one thinking this one obviously had a problem. Well, the new one does not work. I have tried six different settings. The pedal is not even recognized. Can anyone please help me? I would really be thankful!! I really want to work for this company and do a good job. They are going to get tired of my problems.
My Foot Pedal Woes
I figured the pedal with the adapter is shot. What I want to know if anyone else works with MT World that has a solution. I would like to use the Infinity IN-USB pedal that I have. I don't know if it needs to be programmed or what, in order for me to use it. It will not work with MT World, but I think it can. Help, anyone!!
Foot Pedal Woes
No, it is not for Zylomed. I did work for this company for about three days, and then, I added some Escription software, and it has not worked since. I am wondering if other software is conflicting? Anyway, I really want to continue to work for this employer, as it is radiology, and I love it!! But, it doesn't look good.
Ugh More foot pedal woes. sm
Why is my curser arbitrarily jumping all over the page, especially if I have brackets in my text. I switched to the foot pedal from using hot keys in order to speed up my production, but that just ain't happening with this annoying jumping curser.
Anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it?
What about those of us in the Northeast? sm
We supposedly have the highest expenses (I think we edged out California even). The mere threat of a Nor'easter caused the Euro community to up the price of a barrel of oil as the Northeast has the highest fuel usage in the world (I was shocked at that one myself). No one seems to have any sympathy for us. Now, we are threatened with rolling energy blackouts this winter in the Northeast. Nobody gives us monetary assistance. 
re:What about those of us in the Northeast? sm
Why should anyone give you anything? Did you not choose to live where you live?
Northeast Transcription
Anyone here work for Northeast Transcription?
No, my accounts are in the Northeast
area. The people in Amherst have no brains apparently. If any of the accounts were out of TAT they hired more people to keep the accounts in TAT, but their idea of TAT is 1 hour which is utterly ridiculous. I think because all of the kids are back in school every one is typing at the same time. I don't know what they are going to do about it.
15 to 18 cpl in some parts of the Northeast

Northeast Transcription

Thanks

Here in Upstate NY it's been coming down since the morning. We're supposed to get about 7-8 inches when it's all over. We did have a little bit of freezing rain this morning and we've had a lot of local accidents because of the roads.
Not a bit, especially here in the northeast. Heat is a way of life. nm

to carry on a long drawn out thread on supervisor's woes below
Why in the world if it is so awful, so stressful, so thankless and pay is not that much more (someone posted $3 dollars an hour below), why do you continue to supervise?
Also the general tone of the supervisors is kind of like they don't really like or respect the MTs. Is that healthy?

I'm from Northeast Indiana and have Comcast. I have few problems SM
with Comcast being down, but when I do I usually unplug everything from the modem and wait a few seconds, plug it back in and I'm good to go.

Internet based transcription - need advice on how to go internet
Can anyone offer any help/advice on how go about becoming internet based from a call in system, or how to keep the call in system for the docs and put transcriptionists on the internet? Not sure where to start to get information on how to go about doing this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
If you want to work on the internet from home, take an internet course
But only from Andrews School or M-TEC. Many companies will waive the 2-years' experience requirement and will test and hire you if you go to either of those schools. Do NOT bother with At Home Professions, Penn Foster, US Career Institute, or ESPECIALLY Trans-Am, which is also known as Trans-SCAM and is a total ripoff. You will have a VERY difficult time getting hired without experience unless you choose Andrews School or M-TEC. Yes, they cost more, but that's because they are excellent training programs, not "correspondence courses."
Line rates in the Northeast - can anyone advise as to what the going rates are in the NE part of the
country? Specifically Connecticut. I want to make sure I am on target here. Thanks.
Look it up on the internet
There is all kinds of information for dealing with bipolar people. One thing you probably shouldn't do is inform someone, ANYone, that "there is something wrong in their thinking." How do you know? Are they a friend, acquaintance, coworker? Are you concerned or are they merely interfering with YOUR life?
Much depends on where this person fits into your reality.
Internet
I'm tired - it should say internet. My bad.
If you have DSL internet - please
Please be sure and tell them when then install you!! This is very important because sometimes the DSL can interfere if not connected properly and you will be without protection.
Internet
I would not pay the home office internet price unless they offer something incredible, for example, guaranteedd 24/7 service. My cable internet company wanted me to switch over to business and when I asked what the difference in services was between paying 39.99 per month and 80.00 per month, I was told I would get first priority on service visits. Really, I just kind of laughed at the guy...they wanted me to pay twice as much for a quicker service call (BTW, an average wait for a service call is 24 hours or so anyway).
Anyway, I would not even mention the office use; residential use is the same thing.
Good luck.. Jamie
Internet
Funny you should say that. I have Roadrunner and I was down totally for about 3 hours. I had to reboot my modem in order to get back on.
internet
My husband works for Sprint. They are starting up wireless internet where are you do is plug in the card and you get fast speed internet connection. Some areas have it incorporated already.
I have att&t internet
I can't really complain about the service. I have lost internet service with them twice since last June. It takes maybe a half day to whole day to get it back up. So you lose a day's work pretty much. I was not happy at all the two times I lost service. When the service was down they did not answer phone calls just put on a recording so I couldn't find out when the service would be back on. That made me angry. You set it up yourself. I think they will come set it up for you but I believe they charge. I did mine myself and it really is simple. They send you a disc that walks you through the setup. Basically like installing software on your computer. Besides those two instances I have been very happy with my service. I have actually had less problems with them than any other previous service providers. And when the service was down the next day they emailed an apology saying how very sorry they were for the inconvenience. All in all I am happy.
Internet.
I was put on an ophthamology account; I figured I'd need a book... Nope, I've been using Google and getting by just fine. There are plenty of sites.
Try this site: http://www.mtdownloads.com/
Books are so costly, and yet we can get just as much information from the internet if we search the right sites. I wouldn't buy any books until you start the accounts.
Hmm, really?. Anyone can say anything on the internet...nm

No internet?
How does she look up terms she can not hear clearly or does not understand?
Lie on the Internet?
Anything you see or read on the internet is about to have a 30% chance of being true. In a chat room, that percentage may be even smaller. You can't take to heart.
Internet
If I can't work without it, which I can't, then it's getting a full deduction.
Welcome to the Internet! :D sm
There is at least one troll on every message board. I said, at least. It's how they get their petty little jollies, often behind the curtain of anonymity. Yeah, quite sad, but for them, not for us.
Unfortunately, if I get dissed by a troll, I don't have the grace to just ignore it, but have to give a snappy retort.
So the term "snarking" has replaced the word "flaming" now. I'll have to remember that! Thanx!
Cable vs DSL internet?
I have cable internet service and will be relocating soon to an area that has DSL. Just wondering, since DSL goes through the phone line, is there any electrical involved; or should I say, if the electricity goes out does the DSL stop working. I am wondering, if I invest in a laptop and have DSL also, if electricity goes out, would hardly miss any downtown, with the laptop having battery and all. Is this correct?
Internet Explorer
Thanks very much! I'll check that out.
I have Internet Explorer
I have never had a problem before like this with it. I just sent tech support an E-mail and I will see what they might say.
Thanks.
Sorry to tell you but that's an internet hoax. sm
I was excited about it too and then found it was a hoax.
I was looking for internet, but thank you for the help and guidance!!!
Internet address
Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew how to delete internet addresses that are seen when you hit the drop down box. I have a bunch of them that aren't valid anymore, and I want to get rid of them. Sorry, I don't know the technical wording, but hopefully you know what I mean. Thanks.
You go to other internet boards and think everyone

OT Regarding kids and Internet
I just got my old computer all fixed and set up for DH and the kids to use. HOWEVER, I was wondering if there were settings in Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox so the kids couldn't delete the cookies and history? Only DH or I could do it with a password? Also, does anyone use censoring software, like GuardDog, CyberSitter, or CleanNet, for their kids? I'd like something to block offensive content, but I'd also like to be able to see what they're doing out there IF the need comes up. The younger kids aren't a problem because they only know DisneyChannel or CartoonNetwork. However, my niece had problems with using the Internet too much and meeting older guys. I don't want to resort to keylogging software because I trust my kids and I know they're not doing anything they're not supposed to. It's the "other guy" I worry about with the Internet stalking, peer pressure and that type of thing. The kids aren't allowed in chatrooms, instant messaging or message boards. I do have all their passwords.
internet timing out
Try running your Spyware and virus software - I had virus on my computer that shut the internet down, ran the above software and that deleted the virus. good luck.
Yes, there is on dialup internet. Is that what you use?
Call waiting can also affect it if you don't turn it off in your dialup settings. Before I get technical, do you use dialup, DSL, cable or something else?
