In Reply to: How's your gas prices today? Ours $2.95 and climbing. - Shall we all start walking?
because we heard the prices will jump by over $.65 by Friday. We're lucky in that everywhere we need to go is within a 1.5 mile radius of our house. We can walk or ride bikes for a lot of it. I even got a little electric scooter, but I haven't used it yet because I've always got kids or groceries with me.

We filled our gas tanks full earlier this week before the prices went up.
We've got bicycles and a scooter to ride whenever possible. We're already saving money on gasoline by working at home or close to home, compared with our former 25 mile round trips each to get to work and back. We're thinking about selling our truck to get an economy car. We canceled cable and got a Netflix membership so we don't have to drive to the video store any more.
I've been freezing and canning fruits and vegetables from the garden. We're going to stock up on meat by buying a side of beef locally. I buy extra whenever there's a good sale at the store. I shop at the day old bakery, dollar store, and hit the loss leaders at the grocery stores that are all within walking/riding distance from the house.
I can't think of anything else but would love to hear more ideas.
You are right ! I need coffee. tanks
last night was a new moon, not a full moon - sm
my kids were wound up too though.
It is all filled in, or sent to QA and they sm

No, sorry....already filled nm

I saw HOWIE last night on a late night episode of Blind Date. too funny.
I'm thinking if they are smart they'll boot Rachel. I think she's really smart and a good player. I don't think Howie is all that smart or able to be a winner. I think this could force Howie to hook up with James to go for the final 2.
Just filled up with regular at $2.87
Felt like I got a bargain!! Luckily, my car mostly sits in the driveway. Love working at home.
Yes. I went and filled out an application at a
temporary company and got called for a job in a short while. I kept my MT position.
For about 3 days I did the whole dress up in pantyhose and heels thing, drive to work, do monotonous tasks, etc. and I was cured. It was a good experience. It made me appreciate working at home again. Anytime I get fed up again, I just remember the details of what it was like to work in the office for that temp job and other office jobs I've had, and I'm much more satisfied with my boring at home job.
unfortunately filled with spammers...sm
I have gone to several bloggers sites and unfortunately, today, many of them have more spammers than real-live blogging going on there....
Filled pauses
Ah, eh, er, uh, um
Oil filled heater
I use a DeLonghi oil filed heater, bought at Lowe's for I think $30-$40. Sits right next to my chair, very safe, uses very little energy. Plus I can rest my hands on it when there is a pause in dictation. It's about 6 x 15 inches but when I'm sitting down, it comes up to my elbow. Love it!
Full Core means full CPR code.

I took a baby bath tub and filled it up with
all sorts of baby items. Pretty much everything I could think of and arranged it nicely and then wrapped yellow cellophane and tied it up with ribbons and rattles. If you know the sex of the baby, you can use blue or pink cellophane. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this type of gift!
I use a DeLonghi oil-filled space heater that
But my feet were still cold. I found a surefire way to warm my feet on even the coldest days: I alternate between wearing my slippers (with indoor-outdoor soles on them), and my hiking boots which are my warmest footwear. I also alternate sox.
As I start to feel my feet getting too cold, I lay the alternate sox over the heater (safe when set on the low setting - plus I'm right there watching them). Then I set the pair of shoes or slippers I'm not wearing on top of the heater to warm up the soles.
After about 15-20 minutes, I put on the warm sox, followed by the now-warm shoes/slippers. Once on my feet, the thick rubber soles stay warm for quite a long time! My feet warm up right away, STAY warm, and circulation improves, thus continuing to keep the shoes warm. The hiking boots worked the best - several hours later, my feet were still toasty warm!
So how do you handle this. Do you keep sending him his reports filled with blanks??
 You have my sympathies. This is just miserable.  I am THIS CLOSE to telling this group to take a hike but I hate to lose the $$$. I just don't know what I'm going to do! 
Look at a large book store. They have big catalogs filled with sources

I should try this. Posttraumatic stress syndrome is what I have from a childhood filled with neglec
I am afraid of everything. It is exhausting being in a state of fight or flight. I have isolated myself and refused to have children as my own childhood was so terrifying. Did not help that we moved numerous times during school years. Thank goodness for a few sensitive teachers and the parents of a friend. With MT, at least I know what is expected of me. There is no guessing games like there are in my mind when I am in the midst of people.
I cannot believe Amherst is still in business with the work they are throwing out filled with blanks
with tons of MTs on all these accounts they cant do well. Dont they have any amount of brains up there. Well what goes around comes around.
Yeah, but full-time lines does not necessarily mean full-time hours, so I would do it if your produc

Maybe I'll just have a salad.
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
HA! You are full of it, LOL. (nm)
better to be *full of ourselves* than....nm
Boy you are FULL of it
How the heck did you jump to the assumption that I probably make less than you? Why - because your brother and father are engineers?? I never said I needed another job, I said I wanted one to fill my time and make some extra money. Unless your last name is Gates or Buffet, who wouldn't want to use their natural skills to make extra cash on the side? Grow up.
And if your job is so difficult, how is it you have all this extra time to sit on this forum bashing folks? I never claimed my job was too demanding, but it did take quite a bit more education - initially and always ongoing to keep up with the latest technology - than yours did. I didn't come on this board to start a "My job is harder/better than yours", but my goodness you are the most assumptive and pious person I have ever had the displeasure of being introduced to. And that says a lot considering I work with all men in a computer engineering industry! Maybe you would find your job more rewarding if you spent more time doing it!
Oh but it was nowhere near full.
This is the 2nd time this has happened. Believe me, in the olden days when autotext was all there was I had a WAY bigger file, now it's gone. Not autocorrect, mind you, I use the ESP for that, but the autotext. It just makes life so much easier.
Are you full-time?
I was just wondering how they expect people to get a quota with no work.
Thanks, we already have a used car without full coverage.
The payment's not that big on it, except when there's a mixup at the bank and they deduct one check twice with the same amount and same check number. It just feels like the money mojo magnet is gone from my life this week! LOL Everything seems to go wrong all at once.
Full screen
No, it's not in full screen mode. You're right, though, I was hitting Ctl not Alt for a while. Have tried Alt V and nothing happens.
I did find something in MS Help online, but it requires that I start the machine in Safe Mode. The PC locks up now when I get to the dos program where I would select Safe Mode.
Thanks for all the help. So far I've tried all the suggestions and nothing has worked yet.
I'm about ready to light a match to this machine, I tell ya!!
and aa and jb are my full initials so no need to qa it

Not a warrior, but usually end up doing at least a full day of
work one day or split between the two. There is always tons of work and always out of TAT, but I do it mainly cuz I need the $$.
I'm getting the full picture now. Not...
a pretty picture is it?
$1,100.00 full time

It took 2 full days, but...
I love it!! My hands never ache after I am done typing, and I have increased my speed with this keyboard.
What is the company's full name?

MAN you can tell it's a full moon!

he's so full of psychobabble....sm
In my mind, I have always questioned Phil's degrees, where he got them, if they are legitimate, and all that jazz....he doesn't sound like a true psychologist and I cannot stand the way he speaks to people, except his wife, who he wouldn't dare speak to the way he speaks to others. I think he is a shyster of a *psychologist* IF he is truly a psychologist!!.....
That's for a cut & full highlights though...
I don't know what she would charge for just a hair cut.
Judy CAN be and should be full of herself
     
Are you full-time?
How many lines do you do a day? I personally think this is very low even for a newbie, but I'm wondering if your accounts are REALLY easy and you have a lot of "normals" (macros) where you can get great line counts in a short period of time. Just my opinion and I'm no expert but I'd say they ARE taking advantage . . . .
Also add someone else is doing full QA on your work.

I would say full time 1,000 to 1,200 per day. nm

Its not me, its my full time job
Its not me being superwoman, I can assure you. My full time job is awesome and the company I work for is everyone's dream come true. My little one takes up a lot of me, don't get me wrong, but I guess I spent a lot of time out doing things where as now I have to be at home with her. My husband and I have opposite work schedules so he's on his own pretty much and I only have to take care of myself and our daughter usually. I just thought someone there is this get rich in your free time job out there in the MT field that I should look into (JOKING!! please don't bash me again!).
Seriously - I am just looking into ways to make money from home while filling up my free time. Computers is what I do so I figured it would be interesting to look into MT. My mistake I think. Sounds like way more work than I wanted to do.
You are just full of compliments.
You should examine yourself in the mirror. "Look like a slob while you work"? How do you know what people look like when they work? Do you have a cam? I am no newbie, but I feel for the MTs you do QA work for as you are pretty tough!  Have a and get out more often! Have a great day, my goodness.
Full audio QA
If you do this, then they need to pay you QA pay in addition to line count pay.
Yes, Full-time.
I work 40 hours a week for 1 company. I also have an IC job on the side to help with some money, but everytime I have logged on in the last month, there has been no work.
I do see my lines starting to come up, but am still only hitting 100 lines on average which is only $6.50 an hour. Not a livable wage by any means. That barely covers my rent each month.
I also have gotten out of MT full time
So I only work doing transcription part time.
I think you're full of it.
Full-time IC?
Full-time IC is a term that seems contradictory to me. I thought an IC was expected to have more than one "client", at least per IRS expectations, so how does an MTSO get away with requiring an MT's undivided attention as an IC? It seems that MTSOs have a different set of rules....and we are the ones who allow it.
Has anyone out there addressed this issue with either a potential client and/or the IRS? If so, what was the outcome? I'm thinking of filing a complaint and just need some feedback to determine if it is worth my time and energy.
TIA.
You are exactly right. Beth is full of herself and her focus
is not where it should be. It's time to sit down and shut up and let the professionals do their job. She is in no position to criticize because she doesn't have all the facts.
