Worth a shot, but didn't work for me. sm
My inhouse job was outsourced when I left to work at home after 3 years doing the same account and getting rave reviews and raises for my transcription. I applied to the company handling the same account when I saw it advertised. I was told by the company my account was outsourced to that I did not have enough experience. Huh? 18 years total. 3 years on that same account.
I guess it depends if you're still working for the hospital or not. I know that at least around here, the hospitals basically black ball you if you have the nerve to leave their employ.
Hopefully the hospital you mention isn't quite as petty as mine was. They actually started sending the tapes out the day after I gave my 2 week notice and I had absolutely nothing to do but filing for the last 2 weeks. Apparently the hospital policy dictates that there is a grave danger of breach of confidentiality once the employee gives notice.
Give me a break.
Good luck. Hope it works out for you! 
I didn't use the chickenpox shot for mine by choice.
For one thing, it's too expensive. For another thing, they think it might only be good for 10 years because they haven't followed it long enough. You can still get chickenpox despite the vaccine, and chickenpox are worse if you get them as an adult. The medical community still doesn't know for sure the longterm effects of a lot of these vaccines they're pushing on the public. There are potential side effects with every immunization, too. Besides that, my husband is now being actively pursued to particpiate in government studies over vaccines that he received at work, which have now been proven to cause health problems that everyone is hush, hush, trying to cover up.

I didn't really mean to start that discussion
In my rather limited experience all nationals pay pretty poorly. Honestly, 9 cpl is pretty good for a clinic account at a national. I just didn't know how much of a difference the spaces make in the long run, nor do I have any idea how much paying for headers and footers will add (and those aren't typed).
This pay cut thing just didn’t start with VR though
The pay for transcribing has steadily come down over the years. I know that for a fact. I was making almost $60,000 a year back in the 80s, that job outsourced, took another inhouse and that pay cut cost me $20,000 less a year, from there outsourced 1 more time and now working national but the thing with me is now I am only working because I want to work, not because as in past I had to work. It makes a difference and my pay is ok with me. If this pay cut had been years ago I would have had to take on probably 3 or 4 more jobs to exist on.
Monday 8/22. Used to start after Labor Day, but the kids didn't get out until sometime in June.

why are we in Iraq??
Job needs to be done?? Why are we there?? No WMD, no reason to be there. They dont want us there..We need to leave, now. I have talked to many veterans for peace, from the Vietnam War, Korean War, Gulf War and Iraq War and they want us out now..You see, I have total respect for our soldiers that is why I want them out NOW..This war should never have happened..Why did it happen?? Tell me a legal reason why this war happened. First it was WMD, then it was to get Saddam..then it was to bring democracy to a land that believe me will never know democracy as we know it..Well, there were never any WMD, I knew that, we got Saddam, so why the freak are we still there?? Bush, et al have already been convicted at the International Court and we have broken the Geneva Convention..You do not invade a country that was no threat to you, a soverign country that meant no harm to you..how dare America..Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield and Rice are war criminals, including Blair..We are worst than Saddam ever was..We have killed tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis and over 1, 744 of our soldiers, we have wasted billions in our tax dollars..for what?? Do you think they will ever accept our way of life, not ever..We will leave one day with thousands upon thousands of Iraqis killed for nothing and thousands of our military killed for nothing and billions spend for nothing..Open your eyes!!
DH is currently in Iraq sm
It's a hard life. He wasn't regular Army though so I was not prepared for it. He's Nat. Guard. If you have any questions I'd be glad to answer as best I can. Mine has been gone 13 months and won't be home until this autumn, around Thanksgiving. 
I think she would not have been financing a war in Iraq over oil...
Oh that's right - WE don't have to pay those billions and billions - we're going to let our kids and grandkids foot the bill.
the contract for gas in Iraq is for $2.**
a gallon and is brought in from Kuwait. However, the price of gas in Iraq is 5 cents. Something seriously wrong with this picture
What problem in Iraq was that exactly?
THIS administration is responsible for creating a terrorist state in Iraq.
What to send to Iraq
When a package arrives of this nature it is shared with everyone.
Snacks are always welcomed and a microwave is accessable to them.
Don't forget things like babypowder, toothpaste, Q-tips, soap on a rope, lip balm, gum, taffy, licorice, Werthers.
Once i sent the individual containers of applesause and it arrived safely. Books are well recieved too.
Have you talked to soldiers who have been in Iraq?
I have. I was told that we definitely needed to be in Iraq, that the job was far from being done. I was also told that our soldiers would be in less danger now if the U.N. were not imposing so many restrictions on what they have been able to do. The technology used to protect them costs money, yet we want to yah-yah over what is being spent. Wars are horrible, but they will always be a reality. I will not even argue about whether what Bush is doing is the best that can be done, but I know there are more minds working on the problem than just his, and we do not know, and probably will never know what is really going on. We only know what the media lets us know, and how reliable is that?
Yeah, like in Iraq....lots of help there

No, he just looked the other way while he was banging an intern and ignored the problem in Iraq

Clinton
Hey, NOBODY DIED WHEN CLINTON LIED....
Clinton fan, are you serious? sm
I'm sorry, but there is a difference in being a "fool" and "acting a fool", that's just the way it is. However, I will retract that offensive word and replace it with something along the lines of childish, teenagerish, 8th gradish, etc. Is that better? And please, do not every accuse me of being a Clinton fan! That just turns my stomach! 
I'm serious about you and Clinton and BTW
I did not have sexual relationship with that man, Frank MQ.

and we all know what Clinton was busy doing!
Your guy didn't win... don't blame everything in the world on Bush because of it!

Clinton observations
“Yep, that’s right - I miss Bill Clinton! He was the closest thing we ever got to having a black man as President.
Number 1 - He played the sax.
Number 2 - He smoked weed.
Number 3 - He had his way with ugly white women Even now? Look at him… His wife works, and he don’t! And, he gets a check from the government every month.
Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America’s shelves this week with “Clinton Soup,” in honor of one of the nations’ most distinguished men. It consists primarily of a weenie in hot water.
Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter will be built in Canada. When asked what he thought about foreign affairs, Clinton replied, “I don’t know, I never had one.”
American Indians nicknamed Bill Clinton “Walking Eagle” because he is so full of crap he can’t fly.
Clinton lacked only three things to become one of America’s finest leaders: Integrity, vision, wisdom.
Clinton did the work of three men: Larry, Curly and Moe.
The Clinton revised judicial oath: “I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know.
Clinton will be recorded in history as the only President to do Hanky Panky between Bushes.”
Not OP, but Bill Clinton is STILL sexy,
and unlike Bush, very intelligent!!
As might Hillary Clinton, who is also concerned. (nm)

Love Clinton, hate Bush
Rather have a lover of women in the WH than a lover of war, death, dividing the country, alienating the world, destroying the environment, allowing gases to rise, water to be polluted as he cuts back regulations for businesses, cutting the rights and protections for the middle class, on and on and on and on and on....Bush is a disaster..a freak..a sociopath..check it out on the internet..doctors have posted articles that Bush is a sociopath..and I agree, my four years of psychology in college lead me to this conclusion, never said anything but now Ph.D.s are saying it too.., LOLOLOLOLOL 
Yes, Clinton wanted to make sure Hussein
didn't have weapons of mass destruction, that's why we had inspectors, etc., and guess what it was working because everything we were told before going in there were lies....he didn't have any and Bush has admitted that fact.
WTF? You are from the Clinton school of spin. I have no idea what you are talking about
and I doubt anyone else does either. Who is US? You and your alter egos?
I have not had a raise since 1994, should I blame Clinton or Bush? At any rate, see inside...
Musky Income Myths
by Alan Reynolds
Alan Reynolds is a senior fellow with the Cato Institute and a nationally syndicated columnist.
Democratic presidential candidates advocating really humungous tax increases -- Howard Dean and Wesley Clark (until he withdrew on Feb. 11) -- appear to have lost ground to two favoring merely enormous tax increases, John Kerry and John Edwards. It would seem to follow the latter two should rethink their plans before challenging the only candidate who thinks tax rates are plenty high enough, George W. Bush. Amazingly, however, the Democrats are pulling out the old "income inequality" card. It worked so well for George McGovern and Walter Mondale.
Business Week says Mr. Kerry and Mr. Edwards "believe a Democrat can repeal top-tier Bush tax cuts with impunity because income inequality has widened under Bush." Taking a less partisan and more statistically defensible line, the Socialist Equality Party says, "Until the Bush administration, the Clinton years saw the greatest growth in social inequality in American history."
Such claims suggest the top 20 percent, or 5 percent of families, have been collecting a rising share of "our" personal income -- hence "income inequality has widened under Bush." Any candidate who says that has to be lying. The latest available data on income shares is for 2001, and they show no increase in inequality.
The recession was no picnic for top earners: There were 690,000 fewer managerial jobs in 2002 than in 2000. If these cash income figures included capital losses, they would reveal ample pain among "the rich" in 2001-2002. The poverty rate did rise from 9.2 percent to 9.6 percent in 2002, but that was still lower than the poverty rate in any year from 1980 to 1998.
To defend President Clinton from socialist egalitarians, prolonged increases in real output per worker (like 1996-2000) translate into increases in real income per worker. Since there are typically two workers in top income groups and less than one full-time worker in the bottom income group, it is mathematically unavoidable that the gap between two-earner families and no-earner families must grow wider whenever the economy is doing well. Real median income among families with two full-time workers was 43.6 percent higher in 2001 than it had been in 1991 -- an annual increase of nearly 4.4 percent a year. Families with no full-time workers did not do that well.
Most important, it is simply a statistical hoax to make long-term comparisons between the average (mean) income in any top income group with averages in lower groups. That is partly because the upper threshold on the group just below the top rises over time whenever real incomes in general are rising. As a result, increases in general prosperity mean incomes that once would have been large enough to make it into the top 5 percent no longer qualify.
Census figures say the top 5 percent collected 21 percent of all personal income in 2001, up from 20.3 percent in 1993. Measured in constant 2001 dollars, however, a family needed more than $164,104 to be counted among the top 5 percent in 2001, while anything above $136,539 would have qualified in 1993.
So long as that threshold kept rising, the share at the top was almost certain to rise, too. After all, an average of all income above $164,104 is almost certain to be larger than an average of all income above $136,539 simply because all incomes between those two figures were included in the top average in 1993 but excluded in 2001.
For the same reason, it makes no sense to compare long-term growth of average income in any top income group with growth below. Only the top group has no income ceiling, and the lower threshold defining membership in that top group rises whenever incomes in general are rising.
Because only the top group has no ceiling, increases in a small number of very high incomes (e.g., trial lawyers) can make the mean average in the top group rise much more than the incomes of typical members of that group. This is why it is considered misleading to refer to mean rather than median income as "average" in every other case, and why it is particularly misleading in this case.
Rising real income also raised the definition of the "middle class." The lower and upper limits defining the middle three-fifths were $20,262 to $64,241 in 1975 (in 2001 dollars) and $24,000 to $94,150 in 2001. Periodic fables about the "vanishing middle class" miss the obvious: Those who "vanished" moved up.
The main reasons some families earn more than others are not as shocking as politicians would have you believe. Consider these horribly shocking Census Bureau facts about inequality:
Families with two people have incomes at least 3 times larger than families in which nobody works. Median family income in 2001 was $51,407. But that figure combines median income of $21,958 among families with no workers and $66,151 among families with two earners. Among married couples where both work full-time, median income was even higher -- $76,150.
Mature, experienced employees earn at least 3 times as much as they did when they were young apprentices and trainees. Average family income was $16,014 among families in which the household head was younger than 24, but $45,978 when the household head was 45 to 54.
College grads earn at least 3 times as much as middle-school dropouts. For family heads with a bachelor's degree, median income was $78,518; for those with less than a ninth-grade education, median income was $25,077.
If all this rampant inequality strikes you as grossly unfair, you should indeed consider electing politicians promising to do something about it. But they can't really do much unless they promise to take money from two-earner families and give it to no-earner families, to take money from those who go to college and give it to those who didn't bother attending a free high school, and to take money from those who are at an age where they're trying to put the kids through college and give it to those in their early 20s.
The taking half of that policy is a reasonably precise description of who indeed would have their pockets picked under the tax plans of Messrs. Kerry, Edwards (and Clark). In whose pockets the expected booty would actually end up, however, is apt to prove as mysterious as figuring out what Mr. Dean did with all those millions he collected with Internet spam
She's a mess and always has been.
I never understood the attraction to this dumpster-diving looking woman.
WOW! Now that is a mess! sm
It is odd that she wants to tell you what to do with clothing that she "gives" to you. That is horrible! In my opinion you did the right thing about telling her that you don't have anymore room in your clothes. She does know why you are not accepting the clothes anymore. If that does not make her change her tune then nothing will. So, I think it is best, even though you two are missing out on a good thing, to have nipped this thing like you did. You may be losing out now but if it would have kept on and perhaps all of you been at the same place at the same time with your friend wearing "your gifts" then it could have turned out to be sour. Now the only thing sour is your "friend" that has an abundance of clothes right now.
BTW - what kind of a friend does that to another friend? Hopefully, no friend of mine...
You are probably going to be really in a mess
if you ever have to explain to the IRS about fees for your animals. How about my 22 pounds cat- can he be my guard cat? If you can charge for guard, then you should be able to take off monthly fees for security monitoring. Hehe
the mess
Janet's right. SR/VR just totally mangles a lot of reports. What sounds perfectly clear and concise to me will be total nonsense in the SR/VR draft version of a report. You need to remove or add punctuation and also capitalization of words on almost every line, sometimes multiple times per line. You have to fix anything that needs to be put into a numbered format. You need to correct headings - add them or delete them. Entire sentences or paragraphs could be missing that the dictator clearly spoke -- I heard it, why did the speech engine miss it? I'm not talking about mushmouth dictators or ESL's. You could have very good dictators that the draft report is just a mess. It is time consuming and frustrating. There are some reports that would be quicker to just type from scratch, but not for 3-1/2 or 4 cents a line!
N'Awlins Mess
Well, between opening all the jail doors, and locking in all the poor "projects" seciton inhabitants, the mayor's pretty much taken a pass on re-election. This goes beyond partisanship well into the range of sheer, corrupt, beaurocratic incompetance. But the national-level response has been pretty pathetic, as well. "oooh, we didn't know it would be this bad!" Well, drive in, look around and use the radios the army gave you, General! Sheesh.
Clutter - mess
I have five accounts that I receive schedule print outs from that I check off the names and it seems that they pile up weekly. I cannot find the time to put them into their designated files. I also have mail, other things all over my desk. I usually take Saturday morning with a cup or two of coffee and straighten it out and SWEAR that I will keep it that way but the once again by Friday I am in almost the same shamables. I thought it was only me. I can find everything, do not lose papers or tapes -- usually -- and for a supposedly paperless profession I sure do generate a lot of paper. But glad that I am not alone. Now where is that schedule???
I'm an IC & I can tell you I'd get out of the biz before I'd work for such low pay. No Mess
quick fix when you mess up ? sm
Highlight your upper case text, then hold down the shift key, and press the F3 key. Everything should revert to lower case.
Except that what actually STARTED all this mess - sm
with overseas undercutting was ANY hospital or MTSO doing American business with cheap offshore workers. I know that our cars, clothing, and even our (poison-laced) pet food comes from overseas, and that's bad enough, but this is worse. This is American healthcare, and American ID's and information, and there should be laws against ANY of it going offshore. If Indian workers want to do American MT work, the only way they should be able to do is is by actually living here, and having to pay American prices for their food, rent, and yes - health care.
I could go on and on about all the greed in American companies these days, and not just MT. These guys don't seem to get that you can make tons of money (and maybe even MORE money, in the long run) by being honest and ethical, rather than by being greedy and unscrupulous.
If you don't want to mess around with paying
quarterly, have more withheld from your husband's check as you file jointly. With that and your deductions you should be okay.
Thanks for all the responses! - no mess.
:)
My husband doesn't see any mess that is his...
as long as it's his 5 pairs of shoes by the door, his clothing draped over the chair in the dining room and his misc. "stuff" piled on the dining room table (yes, the dining area is also by the front door) then it's invisible to him. NOW, if it's mine or the kids' stuff anywhere - the house is a "disaster." I intentionally leave all his stuff wherever he leaves it so that I can point it out to him whenever he starts to complain about the kids' toys in the living room... 
This was a major national. You can mess with just about anything...
as long as you have a space bar.
Ditto what Wally said. Don't mess with it.
Young people can have heart problems.
I've been in a panic lately because my left-sided chest has been hurting off and on. I've had two abnormal EKGs in the past. I went to the doctor two weeks ago and he blew me off. I'm in my early 30s, too. I have high school friends who have had heart attacks and coronary artery grafting or died. Oh, the doctor just treated me like a hypochondriac again. I've got kidney problems, too, but they won't even do a urinalysis. Evidently, none of my symptoms are serious enough to warrant workup or treatment. Never mind the fact that diagnosed "reflux" was actually a hiatal hernia and diagnosed "constipation" was actually large kidney stones blocking my ureter.
Long story short. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS. Get thee to a doctor and be persistent, for you, for hubby, for your kids and for your peace of mind.
I was impressed with this. My computer was a mess. nm

We should get paid more just to listen to this mess
You know, the people cut our pay and put us on things that we have to be mind readers most of the time to muddle through. I am doing VR and regular work but I cannot believe how dictators are changing their dictation time after time- on the same sentence. It is a wonder that anything comes out halfway right. Half of the knowledge about this job comes with knowing (or thinking you know) how to change these fricking sentences they dish out to us. On a day like this retirement looks better and better.
of course...you may not get it but you deserve it (small mess)
You mention annual and cost of living raises, what about incentive raises. Anything not in your job description should constitute some type of compensation.
If no money, at least get this on your resume and added to your personnel file, yes?
go for it because if they say no you know where you stand. knowing where you stand can be important. if you do not ask you will never know and you may start feeling resentful.
just my opinion...
they certainly would not let you go or anything, right? perhaps you could ask for a review with your manager (something in writing) and then go for it ?
Yeah, sometimes I catch mess-ups...sm
when I go back through the report, and I say I am glad I proofread. LOL.
Have you seen photos of the tangled mess of
What an incredible MESS. To think that valuable, often sensitive personal information travels through that knotted mess made me nervous even BEFORE the attacks in Mumbai. And now the risk those records face there makes me nauseous. It's a huge U.S. security and/or identity-theft breach just waiting to happen.
Agree wholeheartedly, 100% on this one (No Mess)
