    has anyone heard from frank regarding the hawaii giveaway from mq? is he still in hawaii?
    i got the mail regarding MT lawsuit and other stuff from mq but no postcard or notification from frank who won the hawaii contest. think he's mad because of MTs suing him?
    frank went to hawaii to evaluate and study the accomodations.
    Frank didn't think this Hawaii vacation would serve the purpose he had in mind so the CEOs are putting their heads together and doing a study and are sure that the new Hawaii vacation they come up with will please all involved but in the meantime please continue transcribing as they value all of our efforts and will get back to us on the Hawaii vacation in a year or so once the CEO and managers form committees to study the vacation and fair way of chosing a winnner while studying the effects of a vacation on work habits of the lowly MT.
    frank is in hawaii and won't be back until he feels like it. or he is fired,
    Ask Frank is still on MQ website. Greg is back. Can Greg help?
    frank says aloha and wishes you were here but unfortunately funds for Hawaii vacation dried up.
    Frank is now working on a vacation for lucky MT to home office in beautiful downtown New Jersey.
    No check from 07/16, 08/01, and 08/16..no response to e-mails
    Thankfully I haven't had this problem before..but now I don't know what to do.  This is a lady who I've done work with for the past 3 years...very much in the first couple of years, and it has slacked off to only occasionally now.  I never had a problem with her paying in the past and thought we had a good working relationship over the past few years.  Now, I haven't been paid for these 3 invoices, and have gotten a couple of e-mail, late in August and early in September, that the check was on the way.  Now for the past week plus I haven't gotten any response to my e-mails..and still no check.  It's only about $350 or so, but it's the income I've always used to pay my credit card bill...and now without it, I've gotten late charges. I just wonder what my next move should be..or if there is anything I can do short of just e-mailing her again? I'm just really surprised that it's come to this...and I'm hoping she's just on vacation or something
    Listen Mrs. Frank MQ. Just because Frank gave all his MTs a chapstick doesn't mean

    he loves you less.  You have to learn to share such a charismatic dude as Frank.  There is enough Frank for all of us.  Now go wipe your eyes and get your chapstick and be ready for Frank when he finally gets home.  He has worked hard today looking for Christmas presents for MTs to top the chapsticks and that's not easy. 


     


    PS:  I hear he got us nail files to keep us MTs prettied up.  How cool is that?  Maybe you could help him get that MQ emblem on the files for that personal touch. 


    I went to MQ web site where Frank is now answering questions. Looks like Frank
    is running behind on his questions because they are last dated May 11.  Maybe he is in Hawaii?  
    Frank still loves the ranks even if you are rankled by Frank.
    Frank cares.  Didn't you get your chapstick?  He doesn't want you to get chapped lips.  Now that beats a raise doesn't it.  Money is so impersonal.  MQ chapsticks mean so much more.  Lots of thought went into bypassing raises and just mailing those chapsticks that are clever enough to fit on a keychain that Frank including.  That's big!
    frank has needs just as we do. if frank needs a personal touch, i'm there for him.
    just say the word.  frank has so many stressors perhaps that extra personal touch will enable him to clear his mind and understand the mts who just want to help him.  frank, we are here for you dude.  just say the word.
    so what becomes of frank? who will we go to with our questions? i have bonded with frank.
    will you be keeping him on? can we ask you our deepest personal questions like we did with frank?
    Thomas Gibson (from Dharma and Greg) and John Stamos.

    There is only ONE frank in the MT world. Frank (Mr. MQ) whatever his last name is.
    We love you Frank! We miss you!
    OKAY! I need a vacation. Frank and fans of Frank/MQ who won the Hawaiian vacation?
    Does anyone know? 
    Production e-mails
    Sounds like we work for the same company!  I wonder if the whole company is doing that or just particular team managers? I really don't mind it that much, it kind of keeps me on my toes - but I can understand your frustration.
    Question about e-mails...sm
    I am trying to send an e-mail to my employer but it keeps coming back to me as a failure notice.  It states:  530 Authentication required.  Does anybody know what this means?
    Thanks
    Did you save any of the e-mails

    If so, then just include that with a nice letter to your past employers about the fact that your working arrangement did not work out. 


    If that doesn't work, you may want to see if there is a way to sue her for defamation of character.  She has to have good grounds to be calling your previous employers.  Was this the lady at Seascript?  She seemed to have some problems, but I think she was getting help.


    Save the e-mails you get and, when you
    get one from QA person B that contradicts what QA person A said in the old one, reply to B with a cc to A saying in a very nice and professional way that you had understood it to be such-and-such based on what A had told you before. This will start a dialogue among the QA folks and, hopefully, the correct answer will be found and published.
    MSN used to send me daily e-mails SM
    telling me every single website they had been to.  But this would only work if they sign in under their own name and not "borrow" mom or dad's name! 
    I know this is MDI-MD. Couldn't take the e-mails - she is NUTS! nm

    Anyone type their e-mails in all caps?

    A co-worker sends the entire e-mail response in all caps regardless of the question.  I was always told it meant shouting.  If there is some other meaning please inform.


     


    me


     


     


    I've been getting e-mails explaining it.
    Maybe you aren't on company e-mail or you haven't checked it?
    Sometimes e-mails show no emotion
    You are lucky to have a mentoree.  Take it with stride, and once you've gained experience, move on.  Words on paper can be misinterpreted very easily.
    The e-mails show that they come from MT Stars

    Any time someone e-mails you from a MT Stars post this message is attached to the e-mail showing that it comes from MT Stars.  Just because you didn't get one doesn't mean a thing.  They have to open a post and click on the blue to e-mail - they just haven't done it to you yet.

    Hawaii
    Well, next time I see a St. Jude's ad with those sobbing parents and bald headed kids, I'll think of you and 2 MTs going to Hawaii on the money donate to your hospital.  
    I am going to Hawaii and I am NOT an...sm
    AAMT official. I just "plan ahead" and got airfare/hotel pkg early at discounted rate...simple. I am self-employed MT. Can't wait to see Hawaii!!
    do you mean you are in Hawaii and they

    won't hire you?  I thought Hawaii was part of the US??

    Hawaii anyone?
    Hey does anyone here want to move to Hawaii w me?  We could type all morning, then we could go be beach bunnies n then come back home and type some more---what do you think?
    Hawaii
    Not much advice other than to do your research first, obviously. Hawaii can be much more expensive to live depending on where you move. We lived in Honolulu and it is WAY overpriced, and it is near impossible to find apartments. That is the reason we moved away. We had our son and couldn't find a place to live and most of the places in our price range ($1000 a month) were just dumps. Every place had 20 or more people also applying for it. After 6 months of searching for a place to live, we decided to move back to the mainland.

    Now we are moving back, but we are moving to the Big Island. Prices are cheaper and it is more laid back. We want away from the city. Since I have a family, we are getting our own place. We are going to start with a 1-bedroom apartment temporarily until we find out what area we want to live and then we will find a house. But if I were single again and moving, I would find someone that needs a roommate. This is what I did before. I moved with my sister, and then we she moved away, I moved in with some friends. We were able to get a nice house with all 3 of us sharing the rent. I also would not sign a full years' lease unless you are absolutely sure you want to stay. Many go over only to realize Hawaii is not paradise. Some love it, some hate it. It is a different culture and a different mindset there. But I love it and can't wait to return. Feel free to email me with any questions. : )
    Tired of blanket nonproductive e-mails that chew out everyone but are really only meant for a (SM)

    for a few individuals.  These are so discouraging for the ones who are doing a good job.  Supervisors are not so important that they can't take the time to change the e-mail address so the letter is sent to only those who are messing up - and, conversely, if you can't take the time to figure out who is messing up, then you won't take the time to find out who is doing a good job, so you will never give a raise. 


    Yes - my letter is perfect example of sending an e-mail to every supervisor and MTSO.  See how ineffective it is?  Makes you feel very defensive if you are not guilty of doing this.  Imagine how it makes me feel when I get these notes after working 10-12 hours to try to help you get caught up, and then you send out a note that basically says how lazy we all are.  Thanks a lot.  There are a lot better companies out there than you, and even a few who might appreciate high quality and high quantity work.

    MQ Hawaii trip

    warm hawaii
    it will be my first time living in hawaii-any advice? are you getting your own place out there? I'm in the freeeezing cold smack in the middle of the country right now so I am also looking forward to escaping!
    yes, that is true, but Hawaii is much different.
    moving to a place where they are suddenly the minority. I have lived all over the United States, having moved to a new state just about every year since I was 19, but moving to Hawaii was definitely a culture shock to me at first. Luckily, because I have moved so much, I adapted quickly, but others do not do so well. That is why if you visit any forum regarding Hawaii, you will find many haoles (non-Hawaiian, usually refering to "white" people) complaining about the locals being racist. Many can't leave the mainland mentality behind on the mainland and those are the ones who end up hating Hawaii.
    amen. don't send me condescending atta girl e-mails. i know i do a good job.
    i don't need a cheer-leader supervisor to tell me.
    Hawaii trip for 2 winner?
    Does anyone know if they have announced the winner for Hawaii trip offered by MedQuist?  When I filled out my entry form it said the winner would be announced on July 1, 2005.  I am so curious!  :)

    Anybody heard who won the trip to Hawaii?  Or did Frank and Greg go with their secretaries?
    actually there was a hawaii vacation but he traded it in

    AAMT conf in Hawaii

    Must be nice, but I sure don't know many MTs who could afford it.   Also, as an IC, if I take time off I simply don't get paid!


    Interestingly, Kim Buchanan (the current president of AAMT) was formerly employed by Healthscribe. In fact, due to her AAMT status, she was a feather in their cap (so to speak). No conflict of interest there...


    He often leads parades in Hawaii...
    where he chants "No ice in paradise!" - referring to crystal meth - big problem there.
    Moving to Hawaii in June!
    I will be working from 4 am til about 10 or 11 and then going to have the rest of the day to enjoy the sun and surf! Lived there before and loved it and can't wait to get back.
    Can't even afford a vacation on the mainland! Hawaii?!! No could do. nm

    Hey!  I dont work for MQ and I dont' know Frank...I feel like I'm missing out on something big!
    Well Frank cannot help
    he just does not care. Nobody does. He is raking in the $$$$$. He does not respond to the e-mails, so what is the point. What a way to run the company. So sorry that we are boring you with our MQ issues. You obviously do not work for them.
