Again, please, I don't want it to sound like I give a hoot if her parents are divorced or not, that's not my issue.
I was simply asking for opinions mostly regarding teens working and paying for their expenses themselves, like gas, shopping, etc.
Let me state my point clearly...Do your teens work? If so, how old were they when they started? Do you feel that teens working interferes with their school and if so, how? These are the things I'm wondering about, NOT divorced parents, sheesh!

apology accepted!
No hard feelings - ok ? Thanks again.....
apology accepted
Thank you.
Apology accepted, but
if you truly do not want to offend someone, then do not insinuate, suggest at, or call them names of any kind. My post in no way insinuated that anyone of my age should not or would not post on MySpace...I just said I didn't and answered the OP's age question. I did not deserve to be called ANYthing for doing that...and yes, it offended me, but your apology is accepted. thank you.
I got your apology and it is absolute accepted!
Thanks!
apol accepted!
maybe i should have stressed it more, but hopefully it was received as intended.
I just accepted a position
and don't want to leave it up right now. I things don't work out I will repost it.
If someone is that dispicable, to have accepted
a gift and then said she hadn't, the shame is on her, but I would much rather give 10 or 20 bucks in case she hadn't. Instant karma has a way of grabbing it back..just my take on life. "It is much better to give than to receive"
He accepted the rate. He said ....
I wouldn’t be a good business person if I didn’t at least ask for a lower rate– but your response was more than satisfactory in convincing me that your services are worth the rate you proposed. Thanks for being so thorough and we would happy to pay 10CPL.
I start Wednesday. I'm so glad I stuck to my guns.
Apology Again
I'm sorry amdahwd you did stick up for me. I guess I misread another post that sounded as if they were saying just shut up and take the abuse - - LOL!!! Like I said I have been back to work for 7 days now and have not slept real well since, so I am a little cranky.
Regarding firing this person, every time I bring it up they say that they cannot let her go because she is FMLA, that she is protected! It is ridiculous. She has only worked 7 out of the past 18 work days this month. This is the normal pattern for her. I only have two other fulltime transcriptionists besides myself, and again I am the supervisor and have other duties besides transcribing. We transcribe for 42 therapists and physicians. We are very, very busy. I used to push and put out 1800 to 2200 lines a night. I am no longer going to kill myself for this company.
I asked to get someone hired before I went out on surgical leave to get them trained, etc. , before I left. Did that happen no! They said that I had all positions available filled (even though one is never here). So, with this person calling off all the time when I was gone, and one of my other transcriptionists taking a very hard earned vacation, we are in a mess. The administration around here just does not get it. They are always wondering why we are behind. I was asked once by the CEO, "Well, all you do is type right?". Needless to say, I am burnt out and just needed to vent. I figured MTStars was the place to vent, as I was thinking some of you may have been, or are, in a position such as mine.
Sorry for sounding so #@%$!
Apology
Sorry to sound so snotty in my last post, but I did not sleep well last night due to my foot throbbing all night long. I just wanted to add one more thing. I currently have insurance, which I have worked for. The issue is, if I go ahead and just work 4 hours a night for the next month until this foot feels better, my HR person states then there will be an issue with the insurance!
This FMLA person has left me in such a bind with our workload that it is not funny. She was transferred from data entry because they could not keep up with her calling off. So, the plan was to put her in transcription so she could take work home to do if she had to be home. This has never occurred.
Anyway, it's my problem - - whatever. Back to soaking my foot!
My daughter was accepted in to Barbizon, but I said NO WAY..
I would not want to put a child through that. No I did not contact them. My neice is a model and she was there doing some stuff and had my daughter with her. They even offered to pay for everything..they just wanted her. They were going to put my neice and my daughter in some shampoo commercial or something. Bad idea I think.
This has changed now. Only CS grads are accepted without

accepted IC position with another company
I took their QA test, passed, was offered a position. I accepted and have been waiting to train and get going for a week now. My understanding is that their trainer only trains 2 days/wk and now her PC is in the shop. I understand things happen so this is not too big a deal to me. I'm still working with another company so it's not as if I have no $$$ coming in. Now here's where I'm starting to get second thoughts...
Apparently, the admin has already added me to her email list because I'm getting daily account information, status of out of TAT files, etc. No biggie. BUT along with those emails I also recieved an email going to everyone stating that she is sorry for the delay in paychecks because she is JUST now getting paid and has JUST sent out 1099s. FYI, they pay monthly. I'm concerned because if I'm only getting paid once a month, I definitely can't afford to be waiting even longer for a paycheck. I really wanted to get started on this job, been wanting to do QA again for a while but I'm starting to wonder if "delay in pay" is a regular thing with them. I could ask her directly but I doubt anyone would honestly say "yeah, sure, we're always getting paid late" to a new IC.
I was going to quit my current MT company and go fulltime QA'ing but now I'm thinking I should stick with the MT work (even though I really wanted to get away from it) and do the QA PT instead.
Funny...as I'm writing this, it kinda seems like a "duh" question.
Apology for angry MTs
Please speak for yourself! On reading the posts - no one called anyone a liar. We just asked for information or proof. There is abundant false information out there. I worked as an IC for a company who had "hired MQ" to take over the hospital jobs but the quality of work they got was so poor, they went back to their own MTs and FIRED MQ. I am not FOR or AGAINST MQ. I simply work there now and need facts. If the DQmanage has that ability, then new hires should be able to ask, "just exactly will I be paid for up-front" instead of taking the job and then finding out half of their work is not paid for. I have no fangs and I did not tear anyone up.
Apology for angy MTs
I'm sorry also. Our profession is so full of BS and lies, it is almost impossible to get "the truth" about anything. :)
Yeah, you will get an apology
the minute you brush, floss and rinse with listerine, go clean out your ears too. I see a lot of wax.
apology.... yes by adminitrator
i offered to send the administrator anything they need in one of the comments. i have proof of my innocence. geez......... doris latta stated in one of the documents she sent to the labor board that she did not have proof or copys of her pay history. hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
well i have all proof of payments and i do not use checks.
meant to include ebonics is used and accepted
in this town. The schools are 95% segregated in the town. Very old southern roots. They do not care for change. Teaching children to speak properly is considered taking away from their "heritage". Why we moved here? Not really sure. People are very nice though. You are in the minority if you can speak, write, or read properly. Also, it is 100 miles or so SW of Columbus, GA, 30 miles or so NE of Albany
the accepted way to figure line/minute sm
is that one minute equals 10 lines. I guess you have to figure out your line rate from that. Obviously it can be less lines if the dictator is slow and more lines if the dictator is fast. At what seems to be the going rate of 8 cpl these days I guess it would be about 80 cents per minute?
I have worked on a minute basis and it all seemed to equal out pretty much the same unless you are getting a lot of "motor-mouths."
Hope that helps
Moderator and everybody else, my apology was DELETED. sm
I had wrote an apology for coming across so nasty earlier and I am sure that the gals that were involved in this post read it before somebody deleted it and decided to give me a warning.
Moderator, can I ask why my first apology was deleted?nm
We all saw it and all it said was sorry for coming across so nasty.
Boss Yelled at me - no apology
I worked for a lunatic like that once. File a complaint with EEOC for her "creating a hostile work environment". This may change her tune to a sweeter one.
I am not young either, but I got accepted to an accredited ultrasound program
Yesterday I took the plunge and got accepted to a degree offering program for ultrasound tech. However, I am starting to wonder about my decision. It is 18 months, at first part time then going full time hands on in the clinic. It will be a BS degree and will give me the education and ability to sit for the exam. But, and I say a big but... The cost of tuition is 33K and there is limited financing and no financial aid for this. Then, I went surfing to see if there was a site for ultrasound techs out there like this board to see what the techs were saying and I find it is "like a cattle call out there." They were talking about spending time and money in school and then it is a very competitive job market, hard to get answers on resumes, etc.
I spoke to a girl who was an RN yesterday who works in the hospital during the day and at Walmart at night. I told her about ultrasound school, after MT was dying, and she said, "Oh, you are going through doing that to..." I got the feeling the course work is as difficult as nursing, which I know is tough. I am not talking myself out of this mind you and I am glad to be accepted to a good school... but the what ifs: in 18 months after 33K, hard studying while I work as an MT and support my child alone.. what if it is a cattle call and end up working several jobs or at Walmart? Thoughts on this would be appreciated.
I hope "sm" got my apology about the nickel.

Well you all convinced me! I called this morning and accepted the job! Looks like I'll be comin
home! I'll be "seeing" you guys around! Thanks for all the great advice!
haha, am dyslectic without my expander...apology upfront (nm)
xx
Apology for the typos and grammar. P.S. There is no "cure" but ways of coping. (sm)
However, please understand that requires diligence in working within yourself and many cannot or will not and therefore continue in their addiction. You need to consult medical data and psychology before claiming there is a cure, because I do believe if you have one there are many people who would give their left arm to know it.
Boss sent me a nasty email, I replied and proved she was wrong, and yet no apology. sm
This is not the first time -- she's the first to blast you if she thinks you didn't make your line count, work when you should, etc., but if she makes a mistake, she NEVER says "I'm sorry," or "I was wrong" ... nada! Most of the time, I just blow it off. The pay is great, the accounts good, and sufficient work, but other times, I wonder if it is worth it. I suppose in today's job market, I should just be glad to be employed ... maybe I'm just greedy in also wanting to be treated with professionalism, respect, and courtesy.
Not sure if I even have a point -- guess I just needed to vent a bit. Thanks for "listening." 
Charter down here so many times and I called and complained so much, got apology card this week.
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
