Katie Couric
Do you think The Today Show will be as great in the fall with Katie gone? So much switching around with her going to CCS and Meredith leaving The View for Today.......I will probably try to watch The Today Show although Meredith annoys me slightly at times. Not a big deal, but it irritates me that every time she talks she has to slap the table. I've been tempted to count how many times she hits that table throughout the course of the show but I guess it hasn't bothered me enough to actually start counting, lol. I've heard Rosanne will be replacing her on The View and that Star Jones may be leaving as well. Then yesterday I heard that Elisabeth might be leaving too. I don't watch that show much anymore so not sure what is going on. Rosie will definitely shake things up a bit I'm sure.
Thanks, Katie! :-) nm

I'm not a Katie Couric fan. I'm not sure how she will do as the CBS anchor. I used to like Bob S. a lot but the last few years I feel he has been biased in his reporting. I don't care for Rosie or Star. I don't watch the view any more but I like Meredith. I think she'll fit in with Matt L., etc. at NBC. I think Elizabeth is the conservative one of the bunch so I would not be surprised to see her leave. She'd never get a word in with Rosie there anyway. IMHO
Katie, let me know...
Katie,
Let me know how the job offer goes. I'm interested in your upcoming training.
Thanks,

Poor Katie
i bet after hours of labor not being allowed to go to a hospital and with a sock or something stuffed in her mouth to keep her quiet, Mrs. Cruise might be ready to realize that her husband, no matter how rich and famous, is a total wackadoodle! If she had any sense she would go find a good divorce lawyer and get out of there.
Katie, some people are much more skilled than SM
others, some work harder than others, some work faster than others, some work longer than others.
First off, I do not because, I choose not to work a full 40-hour work week, week after week.
But by multiplying my own hourly earnings: It is very possible to make comfortably more than $50, even more than $60K/year as an employee of a national putting out good-quality work (even transcribing lots of ESLs!) IF:
You are fully skilled.
You are working on accounts you are nicely familiar with and have all your templates et cetera set up for.
The accounts do not run out of work (a biggie) so that you can get 8 hours of production within a reasonable workday (should not have to spend 12 hours a day married to the offce to get it).
You are paid somewhere in the upper 20ish percent of the rate range (note I didn't say have to have top pay).
You are either an exceptionally fast typist or use an Expander a great deal and take advantage of computer features.
You work hard.
You work smart and don't waste time where it doesn't count.
You have some talent for the work.
You WORK A FULL 40-HOUR WORK WEEK.
Reasons why some don't even approach that include:
Not fully skilled. Just think, for instance, of those who don't use an expander. And a skilled worker will produce many lines in the time it takes another to look up one term.
Not familiar with accounts.
Account frequently runs out of work--and MT accepts less income instead of walking.
Is a whizbang registered nurse/racecar driverccur et cetera, but lack talent for THIS work.
Doesn't work HARD and push for high productivity. Just working is not the same as working HARD (it is tiring).
Has enough work but doesn't put in a solid 8 hours of production per day (although might think so, maybe forgets to subtract time spent complaining here from the work day).
Katie, although average incomes have gone down significantly, a lot more people are making decent money than posts on this forum give any idea of. Those people don't spend a whole lot of time here, though. Guess why! Best wishes for your own good income.
Will miss Katie in the morning! I think she is great!! nm

Ah, I can't stand that either. (sm)
You can tell him a few things.
1. When God passed out the humility, he sure passed you by. (He sure is humble, isn't he?)
2. You should only talk to people about your religion if you are asked.
3. And God sent you here today to judge me.
4. Is that all your church does it collect money and tell you to judge people?
What does OP stand for? Thanks. sm
I mean, when it is used to refer to a person on the board, like an OP asking a question, etc.

I can't stand it any more! :)
I have sat here in my little chair and quietly typed all day without a peep of protest. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, I can hear the river tide, and....and....and......I have to get outta here! Just for a few minutes, I'm going to go dip my toes, catch a couple rays of sunshine, and watch the kids play. Actually, I think I'm going to play with them!
Come on, guys, let's go play!
What does q.a.c. stand for?

Try a lap stand.
I have an adjustable plastic lap stand made by Targus that I use. It keeps the laptop from burning in thighs and allows the air to circulate underneath the laptop to keep it cool. I think I bought it at Office Max.
BOS - what does this stand for
been seeing it for months and i have no clue what u are referring to.
What does AIR stand for?
I saw this in a job ad. They're looking for Cardiology, Radiology and AIR transcriptionists. ???
I, for one, stand with you.

We need to stand up for ourselves
because we keep making less money. But how do we do that?
I stand my ground. sm
There are too many other jobs out there to stay you are stuck in this one. I do dare to say this because I know this.
Think about it. Would you stay in a "crappy" marriage because there are no other guys out there? Gimme a break.
But, hey, if I'm over the line (as you said), that's cool. Not like I've never been there before.
I will say this, however. I like my job. Not LOVE, but like. That's the reason I do it. If I did not, I'd get out. Period.
I stand corrected........................ think
maybe that's one of the AAMT adjustments?
I stand corrected
but what does MTSO stand for?

I stand behind my statement and there has been
documentation to support it, but this is a free country and I certainly won't condemn anyone for being a member, I just never would and would never recommend it.
I don't advocate any curriculum - I detest Abeka, but the websites I have given are a good place to start for anyone who is just feeling things out. They can ask any questions and get feedback from multiple people, explore various curriculums, buy new or used, find others in their community who homeschool, find support groups, etc. Rainbow Resource has just about everything ever created as far as curriculum, including what is commonly called boxed curriculum like Abeka or BJU where you buy every subject and the TMs, but also allows you to pick and choose. I personally write my own curriculum now, but I used various curriculums and various modalities of homeschooling over the years. There are many different forms of homeschooling too, from a principal approach to the unschooling approach and many others in between. No one curriculum or modality works for everyone and one of the many joys of homeschooling is having the freedom to use whatever works best for your family.
I am not a secular homeschooler, but there are those that are and I would want them to be able to get the support they need and not feel isolated because they don't share the same belief system that I do.
I couldn't stand it with a
I had a good deal too, free rent, worked at home, vacations to where ever and whenever I wanted, limos and NYC every weekend, could pack up and go back to work at my mom's for 1 or 2 months at a time for my "family" fix. I just couldn't keep doing it. I packed up, came home and last week my GD turned as she walked from my front door to look at me and say, "Bye, Nammy! I Love You!" I got a better deal after all 
what does SM stand for that I see here all the time?

Heck I am an IC and can't stand it
I was told when considering the position that they wanted someone who could work at least 30 but closer to 40 hours since they had a lot of work. I thought about it, and decided to do it, and placed my 2 little ones in daycare. I have since adjusted my schedule so that one is in only 2 days per wk, and the other goes 5 days but abbreviated hours -but, I still have to pay the weekly rate plus the full day drop in rate for the other one. Not a problem if there is a lot of work.
About a month ago, it slowed down and we were told that it would pick up soon, as one MT was leaving and we were getting a new account. I feel like we are fighting each other for scraps, as the volume has not increased and all of the new hires (I was the first in a hiring wave) are picking up speed as they get better on the accounts. I can see from the company's standpoint where it is better to have MTs running out of work than to be behind on TAT, but its a balance, because some people are willing to walk away from a job if lack of work goes on long enough.
I honestly would prefer fewer hours and if I were not paying for daycare, I would be happy to cut back, but I just know if I pull my kids out, the long awaited glut of work will finally arrive and I will have to pull all nighters. I AM getting ready to do this anyway. The extra money helps us out, but mostly it is going into savings.
It has to totally suck to be an employee and be required to sit there. I at least can get tired of checking for work that is not there and decide to go run errands. Even as a waitress, I got minimum wage if I had no sales for my shift, and the managers were wise enough to cut some people free for the night if business was slow.
Good luck to you in your situation.
Can't stand the thought of doing that. sm
My boys and their girlfriends all have their tongues pierced. It's so gross. My oldest boy passed out when he had his done and later took it out. Now he is into tattoos. I pierced my own ears and that was enough. I get needles every month for lab work. Forget the body piercing. On another note, with the way the kids and even adults are all into the body image thing, imagine what the staff will be saying when they are all in nursing homes, hospitals, etc, being taken care of by others.
I stand corrected.

My DH can't stand to watch these on TV with me, either, LOL
I worked in the OR for over 4 years, so typing the reports or watching procedures on TV is easy for me. Have you ever seen a nose job or tooth extraction? Kind of brutal how they take a hammer and chisel and just wham away, LOL.
Huh? I can't even stand the 19" - my husband has one
and I hate it. But 23! That's insane! LOL Only 17" works for me :)
I stand corrected
Thank you, nm, for your reply to my computer question.
I can't stand it when companies do that.
Making it correct is how the system learn. Leaving it wrong just teaches the system to keep it wrong.
Me too, I can't stand noise.
When you say "clicks" can you describe? I am currently using the Compaq keyboard that came with the computer and it's the best so far with regard to "feel" layout, but its far from quiet. I'm not looking for total silence necessarily, but very very quiet (laptop like) would be outstanding.
Anyone? Anyone? Ferris?
Not the OP, but man I can't stand that noise! Need very

I absolutely cannot stand
Time Warner. Had their cable as there was no other choice but when things go wrong they have the WORST customer service - 4 months of going back and forth and I finally had enough and went with DSL, is a little slower but better than no service.
Word as a stand-alone? SM
Could you please tell me where you can purchase this as a stand-alone? I have not been successful with a Google search.
I stand corrected!
Copied and pasted your search string. Had no idea you could get Word separately, especially the 2007 version.
Thank you posting that!
Maybe you would know this then:
Is there a reader you can download to Vista to view MS Word documents if you don't have MS Word installed?
Stand alone MSWord
You can get it at Office Max, etc., it is the full version and costs around $450-500. Getting it in the Suite is much much less expensive (I think about $90-100, it has been a long time) and is all you will ever need for transcription.
