That is part of the problem everyone wants everything. If you took early retirement, stay retired. Do no try to go around the system or the rules. If everyone pays their full share it is fair. But when you try to cheat hopefully it will come back and bite you as we do not need this . Everyone needs to pay taxes on their income whether it is IC or employee. If everyone pays their share it is fair. You chose early retirement, deal with it.

It is an okay deal - TR 11 font is small. Not as good a deal as Courier.
Personally, I would have to think really hard and compare reports and line counts, like the other poster below suggested, before I would jump right into it. It is probably 75-80 characters to a line +/- the single character lines you get for initials, and 2 word lines you get with op reports such as Surgeon:
IV Fluids:
Anesthesia:
etc.
It probably is comparable to 9 cpl with a larger font.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
Good Luck!
I'm with you, ready to retire
but have a few years to go, like 20. My production hasn't gone up 25%, has yours? If anything it has gone down. Have you thought about Spheris? I had a job offer last year at 10 cpl, should have taken it probably.
I would like to retire in this profession too
but fear for my job's safety. I unfortunately think the bottom line for a lot of these hospitals and doctors is the $$ and nothing more. They want to save money and don't care about the quality of the reports any more. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think so.
If you retire and go on SS, there is a set limit--sm
you can earn per month, if you continue to work, or they will reduce your SS income per month by how much over the set amount you are allowed. NOT a pension retirement, SS retirement.
And you are correct. I have 6 yrs until I retire and

why your men cheat
they cheat because you expect it as "it's in their nature." You must not require more from them. I mean it's like a dog (not being funny). If you expect that they will pee in the house and train them to go out, that is what they will do. If you don't have any standards as to how you want to be treated and what lines they cannot cross, then you will get the bottom of the barrell and be treated badly. You need to have some self-value and make it known from the beginning what is expected and follow through.
I can certainly see why YOUR man would cheat
I certainly would if I was married to you.
Get over the bitterness and GROW THE "H" UP ALREADY!!! 
I'm not trying to cheat either
I just want to be able to eat 2000 calories a day but only have 900 of those calories actually go in my own body and have my husband take the remaining 1100 calories in his body since he's so skinny. Is that cheating?
They want a retirement that they don't even contribute to, they already retire at 55.

I've been wishing I could retire since I was still
Sure don't see it in my future, though, unless I win the Lottery, and most times I can't afford to play.
Or smart enough to not retire if you cant afford

When she took retire. she agreed to 900 limit.

Many people retire to Belize.
I saw an ad once about how you can live really comfortably there and Americans are dual citizens. I visited Belize last year and it was gorgeous, but it is still rough around the edges. Very small, and remote. We here in the USA are used to creature comforts which would not be this way in other countries. Plus, we take liberty and freedom for granted and living in these other places, well I doubt they see things the way we do.
I know men cheat, its in their nature. I'm just saying
 They don't commit either, and when we get cheated on or rejected it hurts and its just difficult. I wish they weren't like that, always wanting to go after something younger, better or sexier, but yes thats the way it goes. Its awful. Women get the short end of the stick in just about everything. I'm not saying there are no good men out there, but for the most part, I just cannot ever trust one or give up my life for one ever again. Its sad. Guys can find committment and love easily but we women have to claw, grip and lose our minds to find it and hold on to it.
can you cheat and make sm
the stuff you want to stay put as a "header", and that way it's unaffected by the centering of the rest of the document?
Or will someone see that and have a problem with it?
I mean, just do that until you can figure out something else, or until someone more brilliant than my good self comes along ;-)
I'll give it some more thought.
If I read this right, you only want PART of this document centered vertically on the page, right? Just a decorative letterhead? I mean, to me, like I said, I'd just set that up as a header and not give it a second thought. If I'm misunderstanding what you are saying, let me know.
HTH :-)
Quit working BEFORE retire, no income, no

I wouldn't help someone cheat on a test. sm
If she can't pass on her own, how will she do the actual work?
Retired or retarded? Anyone can retire if they set their life standards low enough
BUt if you think sitting on the couch pointing fingers at how bad the government is constitutes a wonderful successful life, good for you!
I'm not the one complaining about how bad things are, YOU are!
By the way, precious. I don't have to work, I want to, and am no longer an MT because I've gotten an education and moved on to a productive life with goals that stretch beyond the living room and the computer room.
Get over yourself. No one is impressed because your life certainly does not sound impressive in the least.
I think she was leaving an inhouse job and of course would retire rather than lose her benefits by j

You're a jerk and a cheat. and a disgrace to MT field. nm

You are too funny with the MEN CHEAT post. I had to call my
He's working out of state (isn't that just handy?). He was NOT amused because, of course, HE CHEATS! I am not 100% certain, but he's a lying, dishonest, deceitful person whom I have no trust in whatsoever. He REALLY didn't like your solution to the problem...hee, hee. I DID! It does hurt, though, no matter what. MEN DO NOT HAVE TO CHEAT--it is a CHOICE. I don't trust any of them anymore.
don't cheat yourself out a really good experience just because of fear...sm
I went to Africa in January to volunteer in a medical clinic for 18 days. Talk about leaving your comfort zone. There were two nights in particular where I really, really, really wished I wasn't there. But turned out to be a profoundly life changing experience. The word is "feel the fear but do it anyway."
the majority cheat..those who don't usually find the value in being an employee.
tsk, tsk, tsk..teaching your children to lie and cheat..nice..NOT
And the CEOs keep finding new ways to cheat and bonuse themselves.
 while keeping MTs from making any money at all. We are the ones who pay for the bonuses for CEOs, lawsuits and bad business decisions.
Considering past billing problems, why cheat anyone out of even 2 cents? nm

They dont need to cheat now since they have lowered all the lines pay and will probably push like
crazy now to get everything they can on ASR.
Sick of slow systems that cheat you out of lines!
 I am just so sick and tired of going to the trouble of testing and listening to recruiters tell you how wonderful the company is to work for only to learn later that the system is slower than molasses, has a sub-rate spell checker and knocks you off after each report you transcribe. I haven’t come across a user friendly platform yet. My current job cheated me out of 63 lines the other week and the new job I just started says in the contract they pay for spaces. I checked the numbers and used my own line counting software – guess what . . . screwed again. Are there any small companies left in the world, which allow you type in Word and pay on time?
Thanks for input. There were so many to chose from..sm
I hate to pay that much money though but I really would like this account.
I chose transcription because
I always wanted to work in the healthcare field, but did not necissarily want to be a nurse or doctor. I can handle the blood and guts....that really doesn't bother me one bit. It's the vomit that I can't take. Have a major problem with it. So, in being a transcriptionist, I get to work in the medical field and learn a lot. I get to type a lot...which I love to do. I get to work from home, which is great because I have a son and I can be here when he gets home from school. I am a fairly shy/introverted person, so this job works wonderful for me because I can do it from my home and do not have to deal with people face-to-face every day. I put in many years of working retail, customer service, and waitressing. Then, I finally decided to go to school for this. I have been happy ever since.
That's why I chose not to take them at all anymore. (s/m)
That way no one's feelings get hurt. I can always buy my OWN clothing, and if I have something I no longer wear the other friend might want, I can still give that to her, instead.
I deliberately chose MT...sm
I was working as a paramedic and knew if I worked at home as an MT I could still take calls. My training was medical, from my paramedic courses. Ended up working in house first though, and at various places such as the Coroner's office. I also worked as a medical assistant and did transcription on the side. I ended up getting a small account of my own and when my daughter was born, I decided to go for completely home-based work. Ended up actually owning my own MTSO and making very good money. It was the best thing in the world to be home with my kids but after watching the field very closely, I've decided to go back to school. I've got one year left in a Bachelor's of Nursing program. I'm in school full time but since I only have to run my company to get a salary, I'm managing it. My plans are to go on to a Master's so I can be an advanced practice nurse. Looking back -- I still would have done it this way. I actually enrolled in nursing school 20 years ago but dropped out due to health reasons. I'm mostly glad I was home with my kids and had the opportunity to make a bunch of money to sock away so I had choices...like school now.
I chose it because it's about the only thing a non-
I would suck at front-office work, sales, customer service, teaching, nursing, etc. or else I would've left MT for one of those long ago.
anyone watch deal or no deal?
I love Deal or No Deal.......nm
I am well aware of that - just angry that parents teach their kids to cheat! nm

I'd like to know why in the world she chose that name. So stupid. nm

Laid off or chose to take time off? (sm)
Be accurate, now!
I'm sure they all are great schools, but I chose CS.
I am also working right now typing acute care. I was hired before I graduated, so now I'm trying to finish the course in my spare time. Andrews and M-Tec are great schools, I am sure, and any school you choose would be a good choice. Good luck! 
I didn't like what settings I chose (sm)
using Tonks directions so I tried changing back to the original settings and had a bit of trouble regaining them. Just a heads up for anyone wanting to try changing your settings using the wizard. You might create a system restore point before you make any changes so you can easily restore your old settings if need be.
You chose IC status. Your responsibility. nm

I chose HPI-SUM over At-Home Professions sm
When I trained 13 yrs ago. I looked at them both. I ordered the first packet of AHP and I didn't like the way it was presented and sent them back because I could get my money back within a certain time. I really liked the HPI-SUM program syllabus. I liked it particularly because it seemed like more work and was harder. I knew that this job could not possibly as simple it was presented with AHP and I was right.
I never have worked in house for anyone. I have been at home for 12+ years and I do quite well with accuracy, speed and scope of knowledge. Of course, there are still a lot of things I don't know and I'll learn a lot of them over time, I hope. Which brings me to the last point, that being no program is really going to prepare you for this job and even with training, there is no guarantee you'll ever be able to make a living at it. AAMT (or whatever they call themselves today) stated that something like $26K was the average yearly wage for an MT. Given that many of us do ohhh so much better than that, there have to be plenty who don't come near that figure. HPI-SUM stated in their packet that 60% of the people who complete their course will not be successful MTs and I have heard that figure about other courses too. Success for me means making a full time income for full time work at around the $25K a year mark (though I do better, that was my goal then). I personally know 5 other MTs who don't make $12K a year for full time work, that is not success when every one of them has been an MT for 5+ years.
However...there is no reason you are not part of that 40% who WILL succeed! I was.
DUH? Thats common sense. Not in the mood that day, so chose to be
MQ chose the public forum for us to ask questions.
Do you have any better idea?
They offered a job. They are not producing the goods. They don't return phone calls and they don't have any policy manuals for employees or contractors.
There is no other way to ask the question. They brought us to this place through their misrepresentation of facts. The fact is they offered work. So why shouldn't they be looked at for unethical work practices? I was looking for a job, they offered one. It's not my responsibility now to go look for another job. They need to reply as to why there is no work.
chose = choice (Guess you won't be hiring me, lol).

trying to chose a laptop, please, re connection and speed
what please is the difference in ability to connect between:
802.11 a/g/n (cannot remember if it was wireless)
802.11 a/b/g wireless
802.11 b/g wireless
..................
Re speed, I saw somewhere the a/g/n is 5 times faster, true? or is the speed in the gHz or in the hard drive rpm...????
I would really really appreciate some input, and thanks.
Unless it was an arranged marriage, yes, she gets the "blame" for the husband she chose to mar
I get the jest of the "warning label" post, but you cannot deny the fact that SHE CHOSE this man. She also chose the first man she married and divorced. Get screwed over once, it's them; get screwed over twice, it's you. The last thing I would suggest to the original poster would be to leave her current husband in order to find a third one. She's not good at picking husbands. Even if both of them were losers .... she's an adult and she made that choice. Maybe she didn't know he was a jerk beforehand. Well, that again proves that she is lacking the proper skills needed to pick a suitable husband and father. If you marry a jerk, you have nobody to blame but yourself. If you continue to stay married to a jerk, your kids will end up blaming you, too.
Hard to chose, Notorious, Rear Window and - sm
A Time to Kill proabably--- have lots more of course that rank up there, many are old movies as my mom got me into them.
I took offense at that too, but I chose to ignore it in favor of the issue of the post.
I figured if we made a big deal of that one word the focus would be taken off the real issue.
Good job! Chose the right man to marry, common goals. KUDOS!
