I've been curious about how they did it now that it's all online! And yeah, that sounds like a great investment in your case. Congratulations!

Me too, thought they were describing me
LMAO especially at all of the stuff that needs to be done, but can't because I have to sit here and type while there is no work to type, but I still must sit here. I sat once for 19 hours waiting for work, catching a job here and there, to get my required line count for the day of 1,000+ and ended up with 600 lines of work for 19 hours of sitting and not getting paid. Then had nerve to email me and tell me I did not get my line count in for the day??? My whole 8 hour shift only had 2 jobs to transcribe and the other 5 jobs I stole from the 1st shift. I couldn't jump through their hoops anymore. It is hard to transcribe work that is not there. Then they call ya...and remind you that you are not on transcribing on your shift. Sometimes after sitting for 4 hours of no work and emailing everyone in the company directory looking for work to make a complete shift, you log off, take a shower, do dishes or laundry, cook and come back in an hour or so to check and if still no work, maybe take a nap. It was like I was an on-call Transcriptionist 24/7 and only paid for what I transcribed, but want you to sit around 20 hours just to meet the required line count with no work to transcribe!! Calculate that 600 lines in 20 hours (still not reaching the 1,000+ line count because they had no work to transcribe). That is $60 for 20 hours of sitting and baby-sitting a computer to transcribe only 600 lines at $3 an hour???? I think the people overseas may be making more than me here in the US. :-(
You're describing my DH!...sm
He's all those things too and really did cry watching Notebook. Still excites me when I look at him. Corny but still adore him after all these years.
Don't forget you are also describing
yourself if you are an MT, which I am sure you are.
The scenario you are describing is often (sm)
encountered when working the graveyard (3rd) shift. If you can steer clear of that shift, despite the shift differential, don't take it on. Long ago, company hierarchy coined these workers "the clean-up sweepers."
Wow, you are describing me! I have to use the kind of headphones that SM
do not cover the pinna of the ear.
They are dictation describing operations? Are you sure
s
Yep, and that's exactly the type of person I was describing in my posting above.
Some people are just mean, bossy, and hurtful by nature.
I was very spooky reading your post because you are describing me and you have no idea who I am.
I have tried over and over the diet thing and I hate how I look, although, I think there are some heavy people out there that do not care and are very outgoing even though they are heavy, unfortunately that is not me. I tend to not want to go to social things because of it. I am very lucky too in that I am almost 6', I could not imaging weighing my weight and only being 5'4".
The raise you're describing is a merit-raise, - (SM)
and I agree that a worker has to go above and beyond in order to get them. But what doesn't seem to happen in this industry is COST-OF-LIVING raises, which should automatically come to workers either in small increments yearly, or in larger increments every 2-3 years. Without wages that are at least somewhat *realistic* (and modern-day MT wages are a pathetic joke), it's no wonder quality workers are harder and harder to come by, and much harder to retain. An MT should not have to work sweatshop hours for 7 days a week just to keep their head above water financially.
Yeah, yeah, that should be "your work..."
you are awesome...
thank you, for answering, and in such a clear-cut way. you have certainly given me food for thought.
I have about 15 years to go, and am inclined like you for the old #2.
now, with your system, the Dragon, you bought it yourself? and you make tons more lines than without it? that is the system I was considering asking my employer if they might offer.
does your employer know you use it, do they approve?
that is what my boyfriend had suggested (excuse if it was not clear), the systems for personal use, like you have, and to use it with my job for a national. just like you do, he said why not dictate it rather than type it yourself.
you really find it makes you more money?
thanks, for letting me pick your brain as it were...
best to you.
Awesome!! You are welcome.
One of my favorites is the "Ties Suck" tie (written in binary). Wish I knew someone who hated ties!!
You made my day!! Finally, I did a good deed LOL
To each their own, and yes, he is AWESOME!nm

Thats awesome!
You are awesome! sm
Congratulations for changing your life for the better!
Remember what the word "decision" means: It literally means "to cut off from." That's not flimsy like a New Year's resolution that people break. You made a decision. The day may come that you get weak and tired and think maybe things weren't so bad or maybe he has changed. Be READY FOR IT and plan now that you'll stand by your *decision*.
Not anywhere near Illinois, unfortunately. Keep reaching out. Call the local YWCA. If it's like here, they'll offer free counseling and help to people, often the majority of which end up being abused women trying to leave their husbands.
You are a wise woman. I hope you realize that. No shame in asking for help. People want to help you! This will all be history someday. Don't you already feel stronger? I bet it feels pretty darn good. Stay with it!
WOW! Thank you! You are awesome!!!
You did not leave a place to email you at...I am going to bed as it is late where I am at, but if you include it later, I will for sure email you and maybe we can encourage one another..I am REALLY, REALLY wanting to get this weight off of my mid-section....THANKS AGAIN!!! Have a GREAT night/morning! 
Awesome--thanks!!!!

Awesome!!
I love the Idol tours, they really put on a good show. They are not coming close by me for this one though, so I am bummed out!!
This is awesome, thank you!
THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to answer my post. I got kind of depressed at first when everyone said the price was too low, but I've read over the suggestions and the encouragement and, well, I feel a lot better. So, THANK YOU so much to everyone. Some of you offered that I could e-mail you for more help, and I will do that! All your posts have given me some good insight and some things to think about, so I really appreciate it. You guys are the best! 
Awesome!!!! nm

That's awesome! sm
You always give great advice on this board!
I've been doing this 20 years, and always wanted to have my own accounts/business, but I've been afraid of failure. This week I started sending out letters to local physicians. I'm feeling good about it. I think I can do it now.
I love the mentoring idea. Someone mentored me 20 years ago when I had no experience whatsoever. So, whenever I get some accounts, I think I'm going to do that as well.
Thanks for the inspiration! 
Wow - that's awesome!
 Congrats on landing the account too!
Awesome..
Yes, we usually go to Disney World..but we just went to Florida (for a cruise in May) and it's stinking hot so we didnt want to go there until like next spring. California is pretty warm this time of year but it's not humid hot like FL..Vegas is our first love.. We just got back from there a few weeks ago. We go like every 3 months and I, of course, take my computer there too LOL.. gotta mix business with pleasure and I certainly couldnt afford my passion, TRAVEL, if I didnt work some while I was there. I am addicted to WORK and also TRAVEL.. People always say..you work too much..70-90 hours a week but the same people say I travel too much..go figure.. My motto.."I do work hard.. but I play HARDER
Awesome!!!
Doin the happy dance for you right now. You should be pleased as punch.
That'd be awesome if
You could have it populate dates and such from Outlook.
Wow it is awesome to know that he actually knows there is someone on the other end...
Awesome!!
This is wonderful! I cannot thank you enough... I am going to contact Humana. All I need is to cover myself and my son for Rx and office. I will let you know how it goes, but I have a feeling you may have saved the day for me... Thank you SO much!
Awesome!
Thanks so very much for posting that. And for the melatonin, I was wondering if it was seratonin or melatonin, this helps. You are right. I wonder what's the difference if we get sleep during the days? I am going to read up on this definitely. If the insurance companies or anyone else takes advantage of this, the workforce will decline at night. What about the 24-hour staff decline many service organizations need? Like hospitals or transcriptionists, police officers, nurses, EMTs, etc. Even the 7-11! Some people can't afford a hike in insurance. I know I can't with a family to support. Well, maybe we'll get better differential now than we have already (doubt it). Oh well, can't worry about it because I am sure there is a study somewhere that says worrying leads to cancer too. Thanks again for the link.
AWESOME!
You are very clever. Thanks for bringing a smile to my tired face. and Merry Christmas to you, too
You are AWESOME!
Keep up the good work!
Awesome!!!
Now I can keep my danish warm without having to take time out to go downstairs to reheat it in the microwave. That will save me a bunch of time and translate into increased productivity! Isn't technology grand?

I had no idea that could be done. I am new to ExpressScribe as well. I am learning more about it everyday. This is super helpful to me. Thanks!
Awesome thank you

That's awesome, Fatty! Thanks!
It was great to see Myron Cope on the video. I moved away from Pittsburgh 22 years ago, but have always been a Steelers fan - once a Steelers fan, always a Steelers fan! I often think about Myron Cope, he was such a colorful announcer and personality. I was glad to see he is still alive, God bless him! He is the guy who invented the terrible towel, too.
I am psyched for the Superbowl! Go Steelers!!!
Awesome! Good for you - keep it up! nm
