Home vs in house
The perfect solution is working at home for a doctor's office or hospital and being paid by the hour instead of the line.  It's so irritating to have to be online in for a certain time period, having NO work and making NO money.  At least hourly you're guaranteed income.  JMHO.
Me, too. Tastes even better if it's a hazelnut mixture. :) nm

Home versus in-house
Let me answer before I read everyone else's responses. I worked at home and for awhile it was great, but I had kids underfoot, that didn't work out. So back to inhouse. It's nice having a regular paycheck and not having to worry about taxes, they're taken out. Also health insurance is a big concern. But I'm sick of the nitpicking and being treated like a child. I hate being spied on and I hate office politics. People are in close proximity when I'm transcribing and there is a lot of loud talking in the small room. Plus when the other people are crabby, it casts a dark shadow on the whole day.

I may soon have no choice but to work at home again, as my place of employment is rumored to be upgrading and at all other facilities owned by this company, that has meant shipping our work overseas. I don't dread returning home though. Just got a brand-new Dell computer, found and loaded my Instant Type and imported my PRD files. I will switch to my husband's insurance which is a kind I'm not crazy about but it's better than nothing. I have a tax guy now and I'll stay on top of taxes with my estimated quarterles. And there's a company I've been working for on and off for years that treats me like gold and will take me on anytime!

I'm the type of person who doesn't like being constantly monitored by an authority figure, particularly an ignorant one! It may soon be time to get out of the in-house and back to my home! We'll see. For now, I'm in-house. But maybe soon, I won't be.
Home Office vs In-House
What about transcription done in-house in an office or dept. where there is high traffic from MDs to janitors?

My dog watches me type and horror of all horrors, I usually have the dictation on speaker phone.


6 at home and 1 in house (first job) in 6 years

stay home or go in house....

I got offered a job in a small neurology office starting at $17/hr with a raise in a few months.  No working weekends or holidays and lots of vacation days.  Low stress.


I currently work at home for a pretty decent company with a pretty decent line rate, but am starting to feel pressure to produce more...my average pay at home is between $13 and $15 an hour.  It also adds stress when there is little to know work available and I am having to alter my schedule to "make up" time.


So, I would be making a bit more money, but I will have to have child care for the summers and for after school, so I don't know if it is worth it. 


Can someone give me some insight as to whether they were faced with this decision...what they decided and why?  I would really appreciate it. 


Stay home or go in-house?

Help! What do I do?  I currently work for a pretty good national company and I get to stay home and work in my PJs, but then... we ran out of work for a few days and I panicked.  I applied for an in-house position doing radiology, which I have never done before.  I am fairly certain they will offer me the position to work 24 to 32 hours, with many more hours if I want them.  It pays about 18.50 per hour during the week and 19.39 on the weekends, which I will work one weekend day.  So now what???


Do I give up the comfort of my home for a guaranteed paycheck and work in a cubical typing radiology notes for 8 hours a day?  UGH!  Tough to have such choices in this economy. 


Any insight or thoughts on this?  I do have young children, but they spend a lot of time at grandma's while I work anyway.


 


I do QA at home and just kind of lucked into my current job but (sm)
I also check jobs ads frequently and even occasionally apply for other part-time work. Most I have seen want you to have very recent MT work in the basic 4 or currently working as an Editor for last last 1 year or so. Not in all cases but that's what I've seen.
I've worked in-house and at home ....
I find that even when you're in-house, with the nature of the job, there's no time for chit-chat.  When I worked in-house we had production minimums and there was incentive to earn if you produced, so who has time to talk?  I'm with you.  I'm happy being here in my comfy clothing without all that aggravation.  Let is snow, I don't have to drive in it!
Along the same line, does anyone do coding at home or only in house? Does it pay well? nm
s
Many of us do in this kind of at-home, isolated job. Gets worse as you get older, too. nm
s
My 3 sons are eating me outta house and home too! :) NM
d
Majority of the jobs seem to be in-house. Never could find an at-home job that way. nm
s
Answer is get out of the house. Gym, dances, Home Depot.
zz
"close" your home office before you sell your house...sm

then you don't have to do anything with the tax depreciation, etc.


Love in house, hate nationals at home nm

Is coding offered at home or only in-house? Gotta be better than doing this...nm
s
And I disagree with that. I've worked home and in-house,
Everyone is different and some people don't rely on jobs to provide social interaction. When it comes to my job, I prefer being at home working independently without a lot of interruptions and enjoy the freedom of working from home. If I were stuck in an office with rigid hours, then I'd be resentful. Personally, I loathe being stuck in an office full of catty backstabbers and love the solitude of home. When I want to socialize, I call one of my friends.

You also have to be able to let QA remarks roll off your back a little, but that only works if you don't have the threat of being docked or terminated as a result of those QA remarks. Find an MTSO that doesn't hold those things over your head (yes, they do exist).

I do think the key IS where you work, but not home versus office - it's finding a company that values MTs, not sees them as mere production machines. They are few and far between, but they're out there. I lived through my share of bad apples in this biz before finding the good ones, so I speak from experience.
When I took a business trip one time, I came home to an immaculate house.
Then during the next few weeks, I couldn't find certain things like clothes, dishes, and items I kept on the counters. DH had decided to put all the dirty stuff out in the garage where the babysitter couldn't see it because he was embarrased by the mess he and the kids had made. There was mold and mildew on everything because he taped it inside boxes or stuffed it inside coolers, and he forgot to tell me about it.
"close" your home office before you sell your house and you will have no problem..nm

we are not talking about a house in the assoc. The original poster lives in a regular home.
So they cannot tell someone else what color to paint their house.


My sons are born again too and their wives can't leave the house, home school the kids, no tv,
and if my DIL wanted to work, it is out of the question. One of my sons just believes in having babies and having babies. They now have 5. I divorced his dad and apparently his dad taught them this is the American way. I just feel so bad for both my sons' wives. They both are born again and both live their life that way.
Brokeback Mountain
Anyone see it, any opinions, only would like those from people who have actually seen it?
Estrella Mountain Ranch
is a very nice community and there aren't many like it. I live in Avondale which is just southeast of Goodyear and our house value has skyrocketed. We bought at $170K and appraised at $250K a year later. If you are looking for a community with the clubhouses, water parks, jogging trails, and golf courses like Estrella you are going to pay a pretty penny no matter where they are I guess. I'd suggest looking at the new communities in Buckeye (just west of Goodyear/Avondale)as they are just starting to boom and are starting in the 140s right now or on the west side of Surprise. Look at the web sites of the home builders here to see where they are starting new master planned communities. Ryland Homes, Standard Pacific, Fulton Homes, Del Webb, Beazer Homes, Continental Homes, Hacienda Homes just to name a few.
Rocky Mountain High...
Colorado.
Smith Mountain Lake!!!
Just outside of Roanoke, Virginia - the MOST relaxing place on Earth.

Our family has been going to Smith Mountain for over 40 years!

another one is Broke Back Mountain
I already knew what was going to happen ahead of time.  I think they must have been going for the *shock factor* of two gay men in a film, which has never been done, because the rest of the movie was at a standstill.  Altogether nonconvincing!
yes, Jesus is one of many paths to the mountain. Have a good journey!

Green Tea
I use the tea for pain control. However, I have not experienced those symptoms. Are you talking about constipation? I hope your symptoms have nothing to do with the tea.
Green Tea
Wondering if it could be an allergic reaction of some type?
IF, I drink heated tea, I devolop a rash about the size of a baseball on my right forearm near the wrist...no place else and not with ice tea. Allergist said it was a true allergic reaction and the cure?? Don't drink it
I'm green and don't know what you mean
Probably ignorant on my part, but I don't know what you mean by becoming a cherrypicker. Can you fill me in?
I am sorry that you are so green -
I have no reason to come on this board and post BS; I came on to give some encouragement to others and to see if I could help out somebody who cannot figure out why they are not producing their lines. We all waste our typing time without even realizing it.

Good luck to you and I hope your negativity disappears from your life!
Any green tea users out there?

I have tried green tea on 2 separate occasions and both times experienced what appears to be bloody stools with it.  As soon as I stop the intake of the tea, the blood goes away.  I really like the tea as it does a good job of promoting energy and weight loss, but I cannot understand why it causes this reaction.  Would anyone have any idea why this happens?  Is there another natural energy booster I can try?  Thanks for any and all help. 


Green tea is an anticoagulant. You should have
a bleeding time (PT, PTT, etc.) to see if you are prone to bleeding.  Another simple way to see would be to eat a few pieces of  black licorice every day and see if you get the same problem after a few days. 
Does green tea have caffeine? nm

Which ones pull in the green?

Which ones are you gals/guys transcribing that you are able to do 200-300/hour?  I have condensed it down to ops and maybe radiology.  What are the most awesome expansion accounts in your opinion-copy and paste if you will!! 


Is there anybody transcribing this amount of lines on acute or multi specialty?  Specialty, a single specialty, I could believe.  Ops I can believe.  Haven't done rad so don't know.  What are the best "COPY AND PASTE" situations you know of? 


Thanks to all you green-thumbers! nm

um - who is Rodney Green? *lol*....sm

only Rodney Green I know is a singer/drummer/performer

Fried green tomatoes

I am green with envy. I saw him a few years ago..
I paid $175 per ticket so I could have floor seats. I was maybe 20 rows from the stage. That was the year he toured with Billy Joel. Anyway, the show was fabulous. He played a nice mix of old songs and newer songs. He wears the most incredible, elaborate outfits. The first was was a teal green suit, covered in sequins and rhinestones. I wondered how heavy it must have been. He changed for the second set, and I think the suit was pink, not sure, but it was also fantastic!! The only thing that disappointed me was he really did not interact with the audience as much as I expected. But the performance itself was wonderful, and I would love to see him again. As far as the crowd goes, it was not a rock concert crowd at all. The average age was probably around 40, lots of women, no craziness, no drugs that I saw. Very mild mannered crowd.
Sounds like you have a bed of green pasture already...sm
Why tip the applecart?  If you wanted to shoot for 11 cpl, you'd have to weigh the aggravation factor.  Seriously, all aspects of your job sound very inviting, and your line rate is at the upper limit of normal for a national or franchise.  Good for you! 
ER died with Mark Green - Not the

him, Carol and Doug.  One thing that got to me though, why didn't Carol and Doug show up for his funeral????  The newer episodes just don't have the same uumph - I stick to the reruns on TNT. 


agree ! and how about Rodney Green with
no shirt on - hubba hubba !
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE! lol

I love green tea, but not too close to bedtime, or will be up, um,

There is a product called Green Light
or you might try a systemic insect killer that you just put on top the soil and water it. Just do not use it for any plant that bears fruits or vegetables. They both work well.
So far all I have is some fresh green beans and potatoes....nm

Has anyone tried the green tea thing for weight loss? nm

Oh, all bad carbs except for sausage. Where's the green veggies?

Definitely NOT my first car, a used 1974 pea green Ford Pinto.
