Dear ED(erectile dysfunction):
You're a great guy, Ed, but things are just not looking up for our relationship...
sorry couldn't resist.

The letter said, "Dear MedQuist Transcriptionist:"...
How much plainer can it be?!
It did NOT say, "Dear Medquist Employees", did it?! NO.
It isn't a new "Employee" plan, is it? NO.
Again, the bulleted list was a list of "highlights" which means it is not all inclusive of the changes!
Man, you are really dense, aren't you?! Seriously!
Oh, wait, I'm sorry! That's part of your ploy, isn't it?! Oh yes, now I get it! As long as you claim stupidity, you have something to gripe about!
OMG, a real scream, you are!
No conclusions can be drawn from the letter -- it is an announcement only and it WAS ADDRESSED TO ALL TRANSCRIPTIONISTS. ROFL
If it's a business letter you use a colon. if it's a personal letter you use a comma. nm

Imagine that!!
My DH just got a promotion at work. It is a pretty big promotion. He sat down and talked to me and told me how happy he is to have me at home working, because he feels he is where he is because I pick up so much of the slack with the kids, etc. and he gets to focus on his career. For a while I was considering getting out of the business (major burnout), but now I'm here to stay!!! He told me now that he is making more, not to worry about working so hard -- take some more time off for myself!!! Am I lucky or what!!!! 
Imagine that.....
You are blessed with a great fella! And, indeed, you are a lucky lady. Something tells me that you deserve this, however. :) Enjoy!
Imagine this...
You are in charge of let's say 50 MTs... and they all want to chit chat. I don't think that would make a very productive supervisor.
Does it bother you when you are working and someone, either in your home on on the phone, wants to chit chat?
With all the changes and consolidating offices, I'm sure the supervisors have more than their share of stressors. Just look at the supervisor turnovers we all speak of. They need to do their jobs as efficiently as possible and being chummy with MTs is counterproductive to that end.
I'm not saying they should shrug off any pertinent MT problem that has to do with work by any means, but if work-related conversation evolves into anything else, I can see why the supervisor would want to get off the phone.
I've had about 4 supervisors since being with MQ, 3 within the last 6 months, and I correspond by email mainly. I find that much more efficient, but when I return their calls, they are very helpful and nice. I am a talker so I avoid the phone at all costs because that would totally take away from work time or fun time ;-)
And I'm just wondering... what kind of favors?
I can't imagine
They generally schedule 1 patient every 15 minutes to make up for those who don't show. With outsourcing they still have to dictate so I don't see how that would let them see more.
I can't imagine...sm
My highest day ever was 2600 lines and I couldn't sleep that night, my hands were so painful. I rarely do more than 2100 lines in a day because my hands just can't handle more than that.
I do yoga and work out by walking three miles daily, and if it weren't for that, I don't think I could do this for a living because its murder on the hands. And I'm only 42 years old.
I dont know how you do it. Kudos to you!

Yes, it is, but I imagine you could

Can you imagine?
Can you imagine Taylor's reaction if (when, fingers crossed) he wins? He seems to appreciate everything so much. Vote, vote, vote!!!!
I cannot imagine
I cannot imagine my reports still having to be checked after two months, I have never gone more than two DAYS before being released from QA. Are you SURE you are not making legit errors? If you truly believe that your reports are 100% accurate, then I agree with the previous poster - you need to look elsewhere for employment.
Imagine that....
Someone has a job that consists of constanly making changes. I guess that requires a Master of Arts in Changology degree.
I would imagine she would like to
inserts a period, spaces appropriately, and capitalizes the first letter of the next sentence.
If you are not familiar with VBE, the easiest way to create a your new macro will probably be to type a few sentences without punctuation in a Word doc. Place your typing cursor at the end of the first sentence. Go to create new macro, name it, and assign the shortcut keys you would like to use. The macro recorder should then show on your screen.
Insert a period at the end of the first sentence and space the appropriate number of spaces. Then capitalize the first letter of the next sentence. Turn off the macro recorder. Go to the end of the next sentence and try the assigned shortcut keys.
I would imagine most do...
If they require you to do these during your normal work hours so you are losing money to attend the training/conference, etc. Heck even if you do it outside of work hours, you are giving up your free time to do it and thus should be paid IMO.
I was curious to see if most of the companies do pay, as mine doesn't and it really steams me.
John and Paul.
 I love them both as a team and separately. Just think of all the wonderful music we lost out on because of Lennon's death.
JOHN LENNON
Awesome wit, great songwriter, good looking as they come.....ummmm. I miss him!
John Lennon
John Lennon died in 1980. By that time, the Beatles had parted. Paul was then "Paul McCartney and Wings". Paul is the one who broke up the Beatles. John was the main music writer. ACtually I think John and Paul were each better on their own.
Is this right? (location of JR in name): DOE, JOHN JR ? Thanks for your help. NM
John Lennon
I have always loved John Lennon. He was my favorite from the first time I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. I was just a kid but I fell in love with John the minute I saw him. I remember the day he died so vividly. I was totally in shock, OMG, blew me away. I miss John Lennon and his music.
Peace to you as well. Isn't that what John
was all about?
He didn't care about the money. He just wanted everyone to be peaceful and understand that peace, love and kindness to all mankind was all that would matter.
It's a sad world with all of the hate and anger when there is so much to see and do and be thankful for.
I honestly think that John Lennon would have been absolutely mortifed, had he lived long enough to see all of the hate that has made our world crazy.
Like John said, "All we are saying. . . is give peace a chance."
Elton John
RadGuy.. Lucky You. I have seen him in concert. He is absolutely awesome. You won't be disappointed. By the way, I am a late 60s teenager. You will have fun!
Elton John
Are you in for a treat! I'm an old 70's teen too. Saw Elton twice in the 70's in his wild costume days - the first was denim shorts with suspenders and red and white striped knee socks. The second was a Emerald Green Lame' (lamay - not lame) tuxedo. He was awesome, very energetic.
Saw him again 11 years ago on tour with Billy Joel, outfit more toned down, and he didn't jump around as much, but just as awesome.
You've never been to a rock concert? Be prepared for it to be loud!!! My ears used to ring after them when I was younger, not so much any more, but very loud.
Just bought Elton John Chronicles a 3 CD set - has his 70's stuff - Elton John, Tumbleweed Connection, and Madman Across the Water. -- AWESOME set.
Have fun!!!
Elton John...
OMG! He was (hate to use this cliche, but it fits) AWESOME. It was in the beautiful US Bank Arena in Cincinatti - he sang almost ALL his old songs with these fantastic special effects. He just plowed thru all these classic songs without stopping for three hours. Just blew me away - even tho I was in the "nosebleed" section but it wasn't that high up and there was also a huge big screen. Definitely a peak experience. And no one puked on me!
John & Yoko...

Smith, Mr. John

John Mellencamp, 4 sure!
Picks me up whenever I'm down every time! When I'm already up, it can make me smile!
My husband just started learning how to play guitar about 6 months ago and he can almost play Pink Houses!
I just imagine myself as a bag lady nm.

Just imagine-- no worries
I would love to wake up every morning and have no worries about gas prices going up even higher, whether or not I can afford my utility bill, whether or not I as a single woman will be able to find someone to help me with heavy work and things I can't do by myself, etc. No matter what state of chaos the world is in, they just go on about their daily routine, just like they always have. They also help each other-- what a novel idea. Their lifestyle is sounding better all the time-- a big plus for me is that I already have a horse.
Same here!! They get so nutz on here. Could you imagine
what it would like to put all these same women in the same room? It could go one of 2 ways..sweet as pie to one another OR .......AAAH!! Oops i think i splt thgs rihgt up three!! LOL
I just can't imagine what these people are going through.
I watched a CNN clip on the net this morning and can't stop crying. I'm going to try to pull it together and work a bit extra today so that I can have extra $$ to send to the Red Cross and I'm going to pray a lot.
Very original!! Can only imagine what it would be
hahaha
Absolutely - I can't imagine doing anything (sm)
else (despite all it's faults).
Imagine. And I really liked your posts.
Sorry to see you go. I must admit I was shocked at some of the stuff that was thrown at you in this female dominated environment.
So sorry to hear about your uncle. I'm very close to my uncles (my mom's brother and brother-in-law). Just lost my mom in April. It's been really rough on all of us.
I actually heard Ringo across the airwaves in our teeny tiny local supermarket today. I'm pushing my cart and singing, "Let me help, if your child needs a daddy, let me help. . . ." :)
I asked the fresh faced clerk if she knew who it was singing and she rolled her eyes and said, "I have no idea." 
I did tell her that it was Ringo Starr, one of the last 2 remaining Beatles and though she obviously was not the least bit interested, the woman behind me said, "You got that right! These kids need to take music appreciation classes."
God we're getting old. :)
For what it is worth, we have 2-year-old twin granddaughters and their favorite song is "Love Me Do."
My husband and I married with matching Lennon rings engraved with "Imagine" and he does the candle thing every year on the anniversary of John's death. This year was hard, marking #25.
All John was saying, was give peace a chance.
Too bad about the people on this board that will never see beyond the scope of their own insecurities.
Godspeed RadGuy.
Peace! 
I can't imagine why my note
has all of these hits, especially since it wasn't a general question and had nothing to do with transcription. Must have been a slow work day :)
I couldn't imagine.....
...holding the baby while typing. I have 15-month-old twins and THANKFULLY neither gave me that problem. I think if they had I probably would have tried every different toy bar for the bouncy seat or swing until something worked. Something comfy for her to lay against maybe. If nothing works and you can't manage typing and holding her then adjusting your schedule for when your husband is there would be my only thought. Good luck. Mine are giving me CLIMBING issues at the moment, oh brother!!!!!
No, it doesn't pay better, but I imagine they take the job...
as an MT while looking for a position somewhere as a doctor. There are a lot of doctors and not enough open jobs for everyone there. It's hard to find a good job there, because you'll probably have thousands competing against you, but MT jobs seem to be in high demand now so they're easier to get, especially if you're already trained in the medical field.
I've never been myself, but I can imagine it's
gorgeous by what I've seen in pictures and stuff. I would love to visit one day. Have you spoken with her? From what I could tell just on TV, they both seemed to have loved each other so much. I know that must be hard for her and the kids, especially something so sudden.
Hopefully she will continue some of the things her husband did, such as the zoo. From what I read, it seemed he did a lot beyond his TV shows.
better yet, imagine a MT who is professional!?

Imagine what a joy they are to live with
I bet their spouse wants to strangle them daily. I know I do.
I imagine he enjoyed that
after the Cialis
"Woman" (I think that's the name) by John Lennon (nm)
.
John Lennon was much more than about drugs. NM
.
The same goes for John and Yoko. They can preach to others
but they are not without sin. Why is it Ok for them to be judgmental of others and tell others how to live?
John Lennon was a bazillionaire. he had seen it
The only thing left at that point was to eat a placenta. Look at it from that point of view.
John Lennon did NOT eat a placenta!
As he would say - rubbish.
Elton John just got married...to a MAN!
LOL...Merry Christmas John Boy!
:) Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and very Happy New Year! :)

John Doe is a 56 year old female
