Give your kids an extra hug Bonnie
You had to be half frantic! I saw the news and it was a very sad situation.
The girl was 13, the rapist a distant relative they took in. Give money, give food and your time, b
you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
maybe you should pick up an extra account so you have something to do with all that free time OR
get a job doing QA. You sound like a frustrated QA person.
Oh it is a lot of extra typing that takes time which I don't get paid for! nm

You're very welcome!! I had a great time, too! Took a couple of extra BP pills!!
You have a great weekend!!! MomMT - where did she go?? Too much cookies and milk, maybe? Bye, Guys!!
When time permits, I always work extra so I have a little slush fund - sm
That way when the slow weeks come around (which they always do in this business), I can actually enjoy it instead of fretting about the money I'm losing. For the last nine months I've been doing a little weekend account (maybe 120 minutes of dictation for a whole weekend) and stashing the money away and in October I'm treating my family to a week in Disneyworld. You gotta have some kind of reward to work for - otherwise you get discouraged and unmotivated. But don't try making up the difference in one week, look longer term.
And then sometimes they want us to delete unused headers, which takes extra time, which we don't

Maybe they will. Give it time. It takes time to set up links.
OSI, Precyse, etc tell us more.
I replied this morning and was deleted. I asked if you're spending a lot of extra time on the ex
work. If so, I see no reason why you can't charge her by the hour for what you do. It could me maybe $100 a week insted of every 2. I do think that is a rip-off and you're being taken for your generosity.
Can they do surgery extra fast? What do they do with the extra glove in the pack?

Give it time...
It just means your family is doing what it should - evolving and growing - plus more MEEEE time!
Give yourself some time.
I don't know if MT schools tell their students but it will take a couple years to get going with this. If you're researching, looking things up and using your spellchecker, you're doing everything right. You just need to give yourself some time to get it. Soon you'll retain more, look up less and get your line count up where you want it to be.
After 20+ years, I still have to do research. That's one thing about this profession, it changes daily. Sometimes it's very frustrating, but keep in mind the benefits of staying home and what you're not having to pay for and you might be less hard on yourself.
I love IT. Give yourself some time and
use the marker keys. You'll need to just slow down a bit at first, but the reward is awesome. I went from 45ish% productivity gain to low 60s. You really need to give it a good month with so many new things - marker keys, moving eyes, etc. I truly believe it's worth the money in the end. So slow down just a bit, the reward will be more lines for you. Also, visit the productivity talk forum. You'll find many great tips to help with shortcuts and commands, and the people there are wonderful when it comes to answering questions.

Just be patient and give yourself time, you will get

I agree. Give yourself time
to learn their accents, the way they word things.... ask QA to give you feedback, if they are not, and report back on words or phrases that you didn't get. Hang in there. I'd give it 2 weeks and you will be done leaving blanks. Good luck with the new account.
I say you need to give it a shot full-time.
That's the only way you will get quicker and more accurate. You need experience. The more you do it, the easier it will come. Good luck.
Give them the benefit of the doubt the first time.

Thanks for the responses. I'll give it more time.

Extra shift or extra work
Has anyone taken on an extra job or shift with a new company for a just a few months to get out of debt or to be able to pay for something that is needed or wanted? I am thinking about taking on another job to get out of a stressful debt situation. I am just afraid I would be going into another stressful situation working more hours with the very busy family schedule I have.
give it some time and distance for their grief to subside a bit
then when things are calmed down, I'd have your hubby mention that it was very important to your son & I think she'd probably give it back in a heart beat. I agree with how valuable it is for your son, but he has the visual and heart felt memories he will cherish forever.
I lost a child 25 yrs ago, problems & issues that came up during that immediate time compounded issues with my little sister and it took 23 yrs and the death of our dad to finally put it all to rest and reunite and heal. I can never get back those 23 yrs I wasted not having my lil sis in my life because of my stubborness, it's just not worth it.
give it time, dust is settling, they just have no place else to gripe yet. nm

I spend a good deal of time tweaking the ones in there so ummm, may give it a shot lol

oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.
there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to
do what is right. If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child. "you suck" That is so immature.
She is responding to you and you are eating her alive. Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it.
I am really astonished at how people can act on here. Would you treat people like this in person? If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends.
Remember we are all "HUMAN."
extra help
maybe I should look into being a subcontractor. Do you find this on the job seeker's board from time to time? Thanks!
I only do an extra cpl.
Unless there are a ton of STATs, it doesn't cause that much of a TAT issue.
A simple google search will give you your answer...I'd give you the answer,
but how would that help you learn to research on your own...and I'm in a rush to get to the next post.

Ditto for getting nothing extra for anything and not getting any better.
extra money
I operate a computerized accounting service - bookkeeping, taxes, payroll.
HRBLOCK.Com has classes online. If your good in math, might be a good fit. Flexible hours, good pay. I have my own clients but have worked for them before. I plan to get an advanced certification to specialize in sole proprietors, partnerships, S-corps, etc. Just shi----n around, I can make $5000 during tax season. Before I had my baby, I made 14,000 during tax season.....Sky is the limit if you're a fast learner.....
I do. I have an extra VoiceWriter but SM
not the modem thing - which is what will probably go! The LX-219 is cheap on ebay but the modem is not so cheap.
I have no backup computer but I there are other computers in my house that I could use.
What extra services...
I was wondering if any of you MTSOs, or MTs that work for an MTSO, offer any extra services to your clients? For example, do you do their envelopes and labels as well? Or anything else? Keeping in mind that you are not in the same town and that your employees are not in the office or even same state as you, lol. Thanks for any suggestions!

I think that is 0.03 per line extra. nm

Extra money
I did paper routes!
I just said I DON'T have the extra cash.
However, I'm not going to shop there because what comes around, goes around. If I don't support the other small businesses in my area, they won't support my business or my husband's business.
have extra taken out of his but enough to pay 100% of last years...sm
So if your total tax bill for last year was $4000, you need to make sure by the end of this year that he has had $4000 (plus a little extra for fudge) taken out. Otherwise you will get fined. Probably easier to get it taken out of his than to do the extra forms to fed and state and write the checks and keep track and add it to your income tax form next year...
You have to pay extra to get the Dongle
A little thing that plugs into your USB so that you can use it unlimited times. I think that cost about $30 extra. That's why I did because I know for a fact that I'll need more than 3 installs.
TN - It may take a while to get here from TX, but I will make extra!!

I use an extra bedroom currently. We
homeschool and I also have a couple of bookshelves in my office filled with school stuff and a 3-drawer rolling cart filled with school stuff, plus another desk and printer stand in addition to mine, and a 2-drawer filing cabinet. When I am organized and have everything off the floor and clean I am very comfortable in my space, but when I have piles of books and other stuff on the floor and on the desk it isn't as pleasant a place to be.
I have worked in a BR that I had all the baby's things/toys in and that wasn't so bad because at the time I didn't have all the gadgets I have now.
I have also worked in a corner of my den and I liked being out with the family and the kitchen was right off the family room, but it is hard to work with someone watching TV and talking around you.
No..I mean 900 EXTRA lines. SM
Meaning, I get paid the incentive pay from lines 1100 to lines 2000 (or a TOTAL of 900 lines out of 2000). Hope this helps clear it up.

Some places will pay extra for

Not that many places pay extra for CMT (nm)

Extra Typing...Anyone?
Does anyone do any extra typing on the side...other than medical transcription? Maybe something like manuscripts or anything like that? I love to type and have my medical accounts, but just looking for something a little extra, without being on a strict TAT, etc. Just wondering. Thanks.
anyone who needs to plug in an extra USB
You can go to Walgreen's and buy a Hub for $10.00 apx and then plug it into the computer. However, if it doesn't work at first, unplug it and then plug it back in. This only works for the mouse, keyboard and foot pedal, not the printer plug. The printer plug must be plugged in directly into the computer.
Always asking for extra work.
Do you all get as tired as me when the QA people are constantly hawking the MTs to do extra work. Every day its the same old thing - but they do it in a very passive aggressive "pretty" way. I figure, if there's that much work constantly, hire more MTs. I mean, how much can we stare into the screen!!
I get 0.08 for everything, nothing extra for STATs. nm

Oh, God forbid we get an extra two keystrokes
pretty obvious what side of the fence they're on
Does anyone else earn extra money.....
I transcribe 200+ pages per month at $5.00 a page for a local hospital and write resumes as well. The resumes pay better and have over 7000 in my repertoire, however, my first love is MT.
For all the extra hours I put in on DQS to get my lines, no way.
