for Linda
What do you mean by....'then I pay interest on the dividends here?' Shouldn't you get the interests from the bank?
Where did you buy the stocks, in Britain or in the US?
I think Linda may be right sm
I have 15 yrs in this biz. I have worked for everyone, or so it seems to me (not really). My resume? ONE page with the highlights of my MT work. It is NOT very detailed. I have my name, location (not home address), phone number and email at the top. Under that, I have my education limited to high school, the college I graduated from (I had had to transfer twice and I don't put them all), and my MT training. Under that, I have something like this:
2006-2007 - XYZ Transcriptions, Inc. - OP notes 12 specialities, 60% ESLs
2004-2006 - ABC Timely Transcriptions, LLC - Acute care Basic 4, heavy OP notes.
It is the time when I did it, limited to year only, the name of the company, and BRIEFLY what I did there. References are strictly available upon request. Any place I worked which won't demonstrate a time line or won't show some experience they are looking for, is dropped. I have my very first MT job on it because that is the year I started and I tried to make it look continuous because my experience is without a break.
I have had great success with this resume. My FT job hired me because it didn't sound like I was breaking my arm patting myself on the back. There was no bragging, no padding, nothing about how wonderful I may or may not be. They told me they hired me without testing (not the norm) because that resume was incredibly dry and the information it gave was straight up, no frills! This is actually what my account manager told me and I found it funny, but in thinking about it I see her point about it being a fairly humble little resume with loads of good experience on it.
By the time you have done it as long as you (the OP) and I have, you really shouldn't need to lie, embellish, purdy up, frilly out a resume. You can afford to be dry and plain because your experience will say it all...you don't have to.
Heather vs Linda
 Well in my opinion, Heather never had a leg to stand on compared to Linda.
for Linda......see inside
As far as I know a surviving spouse has not to pay taxes on her inheritance.
But in this case maybe you have go pay taxes on the dividends you get. But only if the interests you get exceed $ 1500.--/yearly.
That's what I know, but better to check with an expert.
reply to Linda
To Linda. I was wondering about that and was going to reply and say something did not seem right. Things just became a little confused here as you say. I am for U.S. jobs and I think you are to. That feels better!

Way to go Linda! Awesome gift!
:-)
Agree that Linda was a class act, but...
She wasn't from that Eastman family.
As "Aunt Linda" would say...oh buruther.
I am an excellent Transcriptionist with 7 years of experience and 9 years in the field of medicine who has been described by the bosses who initially trained me as "a natural" and can't find a job paying me what I made as a summer student worker the day after I graduated high school. I have done practically every type of transcription there is...and done it well, mind you...but since I cannot work every weekend or odd shifts (I do have to take care of my kid and just because I am working at home, doesn't mean I can take care of my child...cook dinner, clean, read stories, etc., and work at the same time)I am jobless and the only offers seem to be 7 or 8 cpl for third shift Sunday through Thursday. This is why there are no "qualified" MT's in the industry, as you put it. Because we are treated like garbage. Who in their right mind would become an MT if they are halfway intelligent anymore? I'm out as soon as I can find something else (I'll resort to being a receptionist at this point), and you know what, its the industry's loss...not mine.
I read a biography on Linda a few months ago...sm
Basically, she said she was sitting in a club one time and a man started talking to her and they introduced themselves. He asked if she was from the Kodak Eastmans. She said that's what the press said, but it wasn't true. He told her he was glad to hear her say that because he WAS a Kodak Eastman and he had been hating her for years thinking she was going around telling everyone she was one of them.
It was an excellent book, BTW.
no biggie, Linda was class act, Heather N_O_T
When the GROWN-UP kids (in their 30s) don't like the second wife, something is not right in Glocamora. While I wasn't all that fond of Linda, she was a CLASS act and was the daughter of Eastman-Kodak fame. Everyone remember the Brownie Cameras from the 1940s-1950s? That was Linda's family as I remember it or the Eastman's hooked up with the Kodak family right around then or in the very very early 60s. My short-term memory isn't that good (isn't that the first to go after the eyes start? *lol*) but my long-term is on target most times. *lol*
Good for you, Linda! SM First, editing's a desirable trend. Higher skill, easier SM
I feel it may be like a train about to rush around the bend at me.
For the discussion, editing is a higher skill and it's easier on the hands--absolutely no carpal tunnel problems since I started editing. And the WAGES ARE ABOUT THE SAME--you go through approximately twice as much dictation (some people more, some less depending on talent) in the same time it would take to transcribe it and get paid half as much for that amount of dictation, ending up without a drop in wages from editing. This is fair and market-driven.
Fewer editors would be needed, but some would be needed for the stinkers, even scary-good as VR gets with most dictators.
The big threat is from the electronic medical record, where physicians and their assistants check boxes on a handheld device they carry around with them and there is NO text report to come to us at all. England has had this for some years; go look and see how MTs are doing on the Emerald Isle.
No Chicken Little here, guys, AND not burying my head in the sand either. I don't have a view into the future, but the one thing that's clear is the future will require developing new skills, professional or trade level, of one kind or another. I just hope and pray it doesn't require going back to suits and office politics. School's okay, even at my age, but am guilty of putting it off to see if I'm going to be allowed to continue pretty much as is until I'm too old to work...huh--maybe there's some sand obscuring the picture after all. Best wishes.
MQ MT winner
I'm still waiting to hear from Frank to see if I get to go. My chapstick is all packed and I'm so excited! I just wonder...the meeting is really soon and he hasn't called yet....you don't think Frank would lie about sending one of us MT's to Hawaii do you??
The Winner Is...
The winner is listed at www.medquist.com on the left side of the page, I think. So, I guess there really was a vacation. I heard that the chapstick was our new form of benefits 
Winner
Congrats from another WI MT! 
Thank you very much! Woo Hoo, I'm a lucky winner! nm

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! :)
not a winner but it doesn't matter -
Thanks for all your efforts - it was fun !
I'm the "bread winner" in my family
and my boyfriend, who doesn't work outside of the home, handles all the activities normally associated with the "housewife" role.
It's not an arrangement for everyone, but it works perfectly for us.
No complaints here :-)
Thanks for a fun week! I was a lucky winner and so appreciative! nm

The 1st giveaway had 92 entries with Lisa I. of CA as the winner.
Directly after announcing the first winner, the second hunt began. There is indeed an I FOUND IT message posted and will be awarded over the weekend.
GOOD LUCK!
maybe he's thinking of a plan to join forces with winner of HOH?
The thing with Kaysar is he wants to do everything perfect and wants to win so he fights to win HOH even if Janelle would not put him up for evictions. That's why people like Kaysar.
