drunk. He doesn't remember all the crap he said last night of course. I have to start tape recording him, think its time to get a digital recorder.......might come in handy in the future if I ever need it.

Yes, I was told that they take your total line count
for the month and divide it in half and that is how you get paid. However, I have never been able to figure out a correct paycheck from that. 
I've told about 100 people total. THEY DON'T

Ditto. That's basically what I have told my DH too. - sm
As for those protesting they would not want the money, that is not practical. I would have nothing then other than his 401K (which is quite healthy) and any money from the house if I sold it and moved up to where my family is and where housing costs 2-3 x as much. So that is how my husbands life insurance would be used, which is only $350K, so after I would settle everything I would not have much left as it is. But w/o the insurance I'd be in a very BIG hole. That is why you get it, no its not pleasant to discuss but it is necessary especially when kids are involved. I hope he is around for a long time to come but the odds are against my husband most likely as he has lung and bladder cancer in his family, and some other things as well which will probably preclude him living a long life. I hope that is not the case of course, but it does not hurt to have your financial house in order in case one of you die and leave the other with kids. Even without kids, money is always helpful.
I turn mine off every night.
Surge protectors don't always protect, settings need to be refreshed, cools the components down, lower power bill, less wear and tear on components,
Yeah, I've heard the urban legend that turning a computer on and off is worse for it than leaving it on all the time. Not true.

This also happened to a friend of mine who applied to be a state trooper and ... sm
also to my husband when he applied for grants to college.
I told several of mine. They couldn't care less.

This story line is the best and best acting so far...
I think. I have never been a big Kristian Alfonso (Hope) fan until now. She is doing a BEAUTIFUL job acting and every time I watch this story line, I cry!! I really like where the show has gone. I read that things will get very interesting between Bo and Hope and this death of their son will be a catalyst for better things to come. Can't wait to see more of this show!!
Why don't you ALL stop acting like 6th graders
What is the point of all this petty name calling, put-downs, and general meangirl behavior? Seriously, if you're content in your job, just do it and be happy that you are. Thousands of other MTs have been screwed over and that is a fact.
Why is spellcheck acting up on me? Did I mess up the settings?
If you have any ideas why it is now checking headers/footers when it did not do that before, please advise. It is driving me crazy.
Quit acting like 5 year olds. Neither one
of you is exactly making a good impression.
I dunno...why don't YOU stop acting on your impulse to love men?
Love your *logic*...
You dug your own hole- pay h er - sm
If you had been professional and paid her on time, none of this would have happened. Yes, $100 is not a huge amount, but to those of use w/o it, it is a lot. Someone tried to screw me out of $100 and I relentlessly pursued them until they coughed it up after threat of legal repercussions. She/he used the leverage she had and contacted your client, I might have done the same thing in her position. As for your client not being happy, ask them, simple enough and if they aren't then fix that too. So swallow your anger at her for not being a good IC and juat pay her what is owed. She did the work good or bad and deserves to be compensated. Once you pay her she will go away, think about that.
I think it's the temporary files because when it starts acting like this, there are TONS of temp
Even closing Word doesn't make the files go away--I have to delete them manually.
As far as plug-ins, I have tried disabling them before but no luck. I can go months without a problem, plug-ins and all, and then, BAM, it starts happening all the time. I usually start holding my breath when I have a string of "crash-less" days (even more than I usually do to hold my gut in).
I'm beginning to think it's those automatic updates from Microsoft that are adding gremlins...can't say that I'm not beyond thinking that Mr. Gates would have his reasons for doing that, although I can't say for sure what they might be right now.
I'm open to any more ideas you might have.
Black Hole
Hi - If you would care to email me personally I would be happy to speak with you. We strive to follow through on everything, and we know the importance of experienced MTs so we do try to make them happy with the account/accounts they are working on. Please feel free to email me.
Thanks.

I cut a hole in the plastic
on the back of the cassette (surgery!) and then pulled both ends out a little to make the tape job easier, and then respooled the tape back. No anesthesia needed; pt recovered well.
HELP- I don't know my head from a hole
in the ground. You can say, well she's old and overlook me because it was a splitter I needed because only 1 serial port on the new Dell. Again, thanks to all who responded.
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.
Do not get sucked into the black hole -
MDI is not as great as they want everyone to believe and as far as the OP goes, her word is very "questionable" to say the least.
They never, never follow through with what they say they are going to do!
I like being in my MT hole - been in here for 17 years and never coming out! LOL

Do people really still do the second hole thing???
I stopped that so long ago my second holes closed up.
Well then just crawl back in your hole and do that. nm
.
yep, had a space bar with a hole. doesn't
say much for the quality they are putting out there. right now I am dealing with letters worn off the keys - keyboard 3 months old.
I once wore a hole in my spacebar...
I loved that keyboard. the letters were intact, just that figgind hole.
what is 'ars e hole?' Fix your keyboard..nm

I actually wore a hole in some of my keyboard letters... nm

Maybe I'll just have a salad.
acting a fool or fool? semantics. are you a bill clinton fan?
it depends on what is is? or acting a fool or being a fool. because we have fun with MQ. who died and left you boss or arbitrator of what mqmts should or should not do or who is acting a fool or is a fool? frank?
I told you once, I told you twice, eTransPlus is going down the drain!
Don't expect communication from anyone, we are only little "peons."
Funny! Mine is almost as large, and I don't mind cleaning mine!
It's no problem at all. Besides, I'll take lots of oodles of square footage any day of the week over living in a sardine can!
TOTAL RIP OFF
This is the most outrageous thing I have ever heard - VERY BAD SITUATION!!
I have 4 total - not 5.
nm
Total BS.
What company do you work for? Give me a name!
Total gym, etc. - sm
 I am being very careful. The videos online are very instructional and I am going slow and easy at first. I also have a Tony Little "gazelle" and do 1/2 hour at a time and at a good pace now that I have used it for more than 1 year. Hope to do Pilates once a day and the "gazelle" later in the day, but will pace myself.
Thank you for your concern. I did also consider the Total Gym, but went to our local Play It Again Sports store and found this Pilates for $59 so thought I would start here. If I really, really use it and like it I will possibly invest in a better one, but for now this is where I am.
p.s. Most any exercise equipment is available "used" so you might shop around before investing too much money, see how it works for you, and then think about perhaps spending your money on something either better or new.
Total Burn Out
Well, I've tried everything to change my attitude & outlook & always feel I've succeeded until I log on every morning & encounter the worst of the worst ESL or American Doc on a cell phone dictating 50 feet away from the mouthpiece with every extraneous background noise imaginable! I can handle a few of those in a row, but that seems to be the majority of what I now get, with dictation times varying from 3-4 hrs or more apart to minutes - depending on who the doctor is.
I'm seriously questioning why I'm doing this to myself on a daily basis as I, too, have only seen my income decline, my hours increase, & am mentally wiped out at the end of the day. I'm doing good to fix something for dinner, let alone anything else that needs to be done! I just seem to sit here in a daze and/or stupor every evening - telling myself tomorrow will be better!
And, Whining Wendy, you're not alone. I thought the days of crying out of total frustration & despair ended in the 60s when I was a "Newbie". Wrong!! During the last 2-3 yrs, this has & is being encountered by me almost on a daily basis - & I'm an "Oldie". In years past, once you mastered deciphering an accent, doc, etc., your days of frustration were over. Now, working for a National, I have found that every day is filled with different, new doc's, new accents, etc. Problem arises when after you finally master an "impossible" dictator, you find that in 6 months or more, since you were so "good" - you get all of his horrible, undecipherable dictation again - none of which is consistent nor repetitive of prior dictations. Back to frustration level 1.
I hate to say it, but my love for this profession has totally been annhilated. Really wish I could offer words of encouragement or suggestions but, at the moment, I have none. I'm just really saddened to see how many of us feel this way & what has happened to a once highly regarded, elite, "profession."
Never in my life have I ever pictured myself working at "Bob Evans" (Geez - could just picture it all now - dumping trays of food, etc.); however, went to dinner there the other evening & they had an Ad posted in their window for help wanted. Jokingly, told hubby I thought I'd apply for the job. Sad thing is, his reply was that I'd probably make more money & be less stressed!
I don't know where we're all headed & wish I had answers & a magic wand - but I regretfully don't. I do know I'm seriously looking into what other options are available to me.
Sorry all - just venting after a very, very bad week, on top of my normal very bad weeks, only now with a Bonus offered until the end of the pay period. Just another stark realization that with the dictators in my pool, that is an impossible, unattainable bonus to achieve unless I want to work 24/7 trying to decipher such. My price to pay for being an experienced, good, at-home, Oldie?
total agreement with you - sm
I myself am in favor of trying to find out which hospitals outsource the work to India and then writing letters to the local newspapers as "letter to the editor" kind of thing to let the residents of the area know that their medical records are being sent out to India. But that's just my opinion.
That would be a total ripoff - s/m
Works out to 5,500 characters per $5 - or $0.0009 cpl.
Just say NO.
I have a total of 9 accounts.

We had maybe four kids total.
When we used to live in the "suburbia" neighborhood by the schools, we went through hundreds of pieces of candy.
I use Total Assistant Pro
and it works great for me. You can download the trial version and then purchase after 30 days if you like. It does all the work for you. I love it.
total cost
Total cost of $60 for two phone lines, which includes taxes, etc. It also includes call waiting and voice mail. But my C-phone line has nothing on it, no call waiting, etc. by my choice. First month on my residential phone is free because they are just starting up in my area.
Does anyone know what the estimated total # of MTs in the US is? nm
