My political views
You need to take my political views with a grain of salt. I really don't know enough about politics to even be on here running my mouth. Furthermore, I don't hate President Bush, I do so enjoy picking on him; but I know he has a very difficult job, and I bet money he is a lot smarter than me.
To the poster below who equates the BIble Belt with political views
USING TWO COWS TO EXPLAIN. . .
A CHRISTIAN DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor. Then you covet it.
A SOCIALIST: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his.
A DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous. Barbra Streisand sings for you.
A REPUBLICAN: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So?
A COMMUNIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it. It is expensive and sour.
A FASCIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage which ultimately blows up the cows.
CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.
DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.
BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, then pours the milk down the drain.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one. You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. You spin an announcement to the analysts that you have reduced your expenses. Your stock goes up.
A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows. You go to lunch. Life is good.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. They learn to travel on unbelievably crowded trains. Most are at the top of their class at cow school.
A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they are all blond, drink lots of beer, give excellent quality milk, and run a hundred miles an hour. Unfortunately they also demand 13 weeks of vacation per year.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows but you don't know where they are. While ambling around, you see a beautiful woman. You break for lunch. Life is good.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You have some more vodka. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka. You produce your 10th, 5-year plan in the last 3 months. The Mafia shows up and takes over however many cows you really have.
A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge for storing them for others. If they give milk, you tell no one.
A BRAZILIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You enter into a partnership with an American corporation. Soon you have 1000 cows. You expropriate them. The American corporation goes chapter 11.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them.
:D
i agree. not all views are represented on these
boards, it's too dangerous to be honest - you'll get attacked.
The reason why is because we do not agree with their views.

How is this political? This is a state of living, not bickering political points. Truth hurts...NM

Posts deleted. Thread turned political. Take political
discussion to the Politics forums.
You're working to make money, not to spend money.
These people should be ashamed of themselves taking advantage of people this way!
Use political board for political posts. NM

She admitted below that her name is DixieDew. She is a regular
where I post
You're right......it really is JUST about money
xx
You realize by doing that they're making more money & you're making less? You should reconsid
Why is it that when you owe money, they're real
jerks about collecting on it, such as taxes or medical bills. However, when the shoe's on the other foot, do you think they pay up in a timely manner? We're owed tax money from 2002 that we're still waiting for. There was some kind of mixup with the IRS, so we had to pay the taxes or they threatened us with collection. I had to file an amended return to get our money back from their mistake. The amended return was received over six months ago.
The medical company owes me a refund from a year ago because they forced me to make payments and threatened me with collection on my account. They are the ones that didn't provide documentation or follow up with the insurance company. I had to do it for them! I should be happy that I'm even getting my own money back, but I need it today. Even the bank messed up on me last night. We made a car payment by check that got taken out through ACH electronic check processing and they deposited the check, too. They got a double car payment from us because of their mistake. It's going to take the bank two days to research it and process the credit on my account. I don't think so! These people need to cough up MY money NOW!
No they're not because I'm making more money on it....sm
than before the program was implemented. I also know others who are making more money per hour - and no one argues with more moolah!
Actually, no, it's poor you! You're the one who paid all the money
ha
Agree, would rather have money. nm

I hate when companies treat us like we're working for pin money
Am I supposed to be happy when a company only gives me 200 or 300 lines a day when they promise you a certain amount (that is higher than that)? How would the company employees (not us lowly transcriptionists) feel if the company told them that they were only getting paid 100 dollars this pay period, that there wasn't enough work. Not enough to pay bills and keep food on the table, just pin money.
Sheesh.
I totally agree with you. the more money
you have, the more publicity and effort will be given to you. Look at the horrible things that go on daily in every community that nobody ever hears about unless you 'know someone'. Everybody that they have looked at, etc, will walk. If she would have drown they would have found her belongings (suitcase, purse, etc.) I feel someone definitely did something to her, even if unintentionally, and has done a great job covering it up. I know as a mother, I would be devistated not knowing what actually happened and hard telling how long before I would be in a rational state of mind.
I agree, and I do the very same thing with my money. NM

I agree with you, and this is why we don't make more money too sm
Seems like, if you don't have a magic wand dangling between your legs, you don't count for much. This is still the 21st Century...kinda sad isn't it?
I thought the same thing. Justify the EXTRA MONEY they're keeping
You know full well if the foreign MT was the same price they'd quit looking there too. It's all about the money. Who's he fooling?
You're likely to make more money on the lower rate because easier to understand and can probably
faster and need less time to look things up, etc. Just my 2 cents.
Not to mention you're letting the govt use your money INTEREST FREE
Ack!
Now that said, I usually have them withhold a little too much simply because we can't take a payment hit.
I agree, and it's also how they get more money out of their customers, too, by padding
s
I don't agree. The decision to pay for holidays should not be based on money alone. sm
If it is, perhaps you need to look at the prices that you are charging.
If you decide to pay a higher than average line rate to make up for benefits, don't say that they do unless they really do.
I make a good living as an MTSO and hate to see whiners make us all look bad.
Time to rethink this business. We need to make our companies places that people want to work, not places that everyone complains about. If we all did that, this field would be much better off all the way around.

Agree completely.....money making scheme....

Money, money, money, mmonnneyyy. Singing the Apprentice song.

Totally agree. Her kids are brats and spoiled with dirty money. I know she works

I agree......some think they're not obligated

I agree; it was a decent mini-course. Maybe they're trying to right some old wrongs.
nm
I agree except you're the pot calling the kettle black.....
"I wonder what you're work looks like"............It is your work, not you're as that is short for you are. If you use the contraction, that means you are saying "I wonder what you are work looks like.
I agree, fishy. If you're an IC you'll have to take out approx.
30% on top of the 25% they're going to keep, but will you have to claim earnings of it all, even their 25%. Hmmmm, I think I'd be asking a LOT of questions because why aren't they just saying you'll make 9.75 cents instead of 13 cents that you'll really NOT be making.
I agree! They're looking for you to upload to a network drive,
which is totally not your responsibility to provide for them. If they don't want to install a network and dedicated drive, they can turn on their file sharing but allow ONE computer to be the master computer. All other computers would have access to the shared folder on the "main" computer. However, they would HAVE to be sure they uploaded the files again to the main drive after making changes.
As for the search feature, they've already got that built into Windows. Start Menu, Search for Documents, Advanced Search options, "A word or phrase contained in the document," type the patient's name into the box, and specify which drive to search on. Hit OK and voila!
a lot of views = over 200. nm

It happens when there are so many views.

My views as the last 2 here
I was just talking yesterday about how most of your life is behind you before you know it (wish I could live some 60 more years), yesterday was when I was in high school, wasn’t it? Where did the 20s, 30s or even the 40s go - like a blur. I tell the younger than me all the time, time flies and it does. I love my life now, wish the years would slow down a little though.
Not to make this political, but...
Next time you vote for the Democrats, please realize that the ACLU has their hands ALL OVER the Democratic party, and the ACLU will fight to the end for the rights of those such as child molesters. Just Google the case about the boy in Massachusetts who was killed by a pedophile who frequented the NAMBLA website, which actually gives tips and information on how to gain access to little boys and actually condones sexual relations between men and boys. While neither political party is perfect, I find the actions of the ACLU more of than not to be unacceptable and I don't want anything to do with them. They used to do good work for the rights of others, they've now swung WAY too far in the other direction to the point of "stupid", especially when it comes to the rights of obvious criminals who would harm our children.

You bet I agree! Red splotches and swollen lips? It's sad we're more concerned... (sm)
About your husband than you are! If you want someone to agree with you no matter what you say, ask your momma! If you want opinions and ask for 'em, don't whine when you get 'em!

I totally agree and keep in mind the quality of the dictation where you're at currently. SM
You're already used to the dictators where you're at now. I can almost guarantee that the quality of the dictation will decrease and the number of ESL will increase whatever national you choose to go to compared to where you're at now. Even if you do luck out and a get a good account at a national, there is still the transitional phase where you getting to know the dictators, account specifics, etc. and your production will decrease considerably than what you are used to.
I'd stay where you're at, choose a national that you like, one that gets more positive feedback than negative, and try it on for size.
Good Luck!
I agree with this; hence, my query about how folks who say that they're working for SERVICES ...
are making this kind of money.
Means it had a lot of views...sm
I think 200 and over.
281 views and only 1 reply
Haha. Thanks puzzled, I appreciate your response. I guess the other QAs dont want to give up their secret info. ;)
After a certain number of views
It will flame. I am not real sure how many hits a particular post has to get before turning to a flame, but I do believe this is why. As for sm, I really don't know. Maybe see message?
Views in Word
I believe the only "permanent" change in view is the "print view". Perhaps you can write a macro that will change the view for you? You could type in the macro code before starting each report ... just a thought ...
51 views, but no answers
Maybe I'm not being clear with my questions. I've seen IC jobs that I'm interested in. Should I go ahead and apply, do the testing? I have DSL, Windows XP, I can get the version of Word they want, if necessary. The national I worked for had proprietary software so I didn't need Word, although I have worked on it in the past. It would be the medical spellchecker, expanders, foot pedals, etc. that I would have to purchase if they weren't supplied. I just would appreciate some feedback on this. I'd rather be an employee w/benefits.
political? I think this is pertaining to life
I think this turned into whether or not you spank your child not what is happening in the schools/govt.
The posts that were removed were political. (SM)
It started discussion about which President was at fault for what and political views.
Stop jumping to conclusions over a reminder.
Political correctness goes a long way

Not political but re Senator Kennedy's OP:
Wouldn't that have been a great one to transcribe? Not because of who it is, but just due to the type of the surgery he had--open brain surgery with intermittent wakeful testing. I've been an MT for about 27 years, majority in acute care (now clinic--boring), and I absolutely love doing OPs. I really enjoy doing long, complicated, interesting operative reports like I'm sure this one was.
Gruesome? Maybe , but well wishes to the senator in any case.
I also posted on the political board, but -
I did not refer to Obama or McCain and the political side of it, I am interested more in how it is effecting us in the United States. Everyone else is posting here about their jobs and that is what I am talking about. I don't care about policies right now, I am wondering how every day life is going to change.
And, no, I am not being rude, just explaining myself.
I think she's already there on the political board, being nasty to
anyone who responds to her, for a couple of postings. I don't understand people sometimes.
