in the transnet player for Extext without having to use the arrows to get back and forth-it takes too long to manipulate through dictation? Thanks in advance to the experts!

Okay, thanks, really need a slider option here
nm
slide the little slider where it says screen resolution. sm
you may want to play with it to get the size you want. i have mine at 1280 by 1024 pixels.
Usually totally quiet, maybe back slider open for windchimes - sm
and the birds chirping. But have to work a lot with the TV on (kids in my BR watching a tape/DVD/TV) which they keep as low as possible but very distracting. Like it best when totally quiet though.
I move around A LOT!!! - SM
I ALWAYS take pictures before AND after. When I lived in Florida, the apartment complex tried to charge me $700 to pay for cleaning. They said it was because I had pets and I left kitty litter behind, etc. I DID NOT HAVE A CAT!!! Do not just shake this off. They expect that people will not come back and make a fuss, well let me tell you - I WILL AND HAVE GOTTEN ON AN AIRPLANE to go back to a place that tries to charge me. I rest my case - thank you.
If you would like to move on to
a company that can give you plenty of work, your own accounts and not make your life a misery, please email me. I have spoken with many MQ people recently and have work, but somehow it seems that many are afraid to leave. I can pretty well guarantee you a good livelihood and little to no hassle .. and if it sounds to good to be true it is true .. plain and simple.
Move On
Same thing happened to the hospital I worked at. We were told we would be hired by the outsourcers at same pay! Ha!
I didn't transition but the ones who did report the pay was all changed once onboard. Plus the new benefits were horrible compared to what we were use to.
I chose to decline their offer, took unemployment and found a new job on my terms.
Good Luck!
PS: In my state, if you lose your job through no fault of you own (outsourcing) you are entitled to Unemployment Compensation.
If I could move, I probably would.
I'm not happy with the kids in my daughter's classes nor have I met many people that I would choose as my friends. I have met a few good people though. It's really hard though being young and single here, not to mention working at home, but I've made a few steps over the weekend to change that. Small steps, but I already feel better.
Can you move...
That would be helpful. There is no need to be hateful, tell people you are at work from this time until that time, and you cannot be disturbed unless it is an emergency. State the fact and then ask them to respect that! I know what you mean when you say people act like you aren't "really working!" It is annoying!
Me three! Let's move on!
nm
I can tell you that if you move to
Houston, CyFair district is excellent. Far Northwest Houston is really nice, as well as the Woodlands, but I prefer the CyFair district so moved out here instead of the Woodlands.
I personally like the city. My husband could live on a farm. This is a little bit of a compromise for both of us. Texas is gorgeous though. If it doesn't really matter where you live, I would consider the hill country.
Why not move??
you said you have no husband, no kids.....so, you are free as a bird!!! You would be surprised at what can happen when you change your entire environment.
Good Luck!
I like to get up and move around.
So, two days a week I get to see the world! HA! I am a Mom of two. I start working around 8:30 a.m. and take frequent breaks. I love hitting the grocery store on a Tuesday mid morning with all of the Mom-Moms and Pops-Pops, and it sure beats the rush on the weekend around here anyway.
I work for about an hour at a time and then break. I cannot stay glued to the screen as it gives me a headache. I am very successful and very productive (at least I like to think so). I do have my own accounts to service, so it makes it hard for vacations, but we get by.
I do work weekends, but not consistently. Weekends are actually most productive for me since there's not a lot of running around and everyone is ready for couch-slouching by the weekend in my house other than the occasional running one of my kids to a friend's house.
Oh and I should mention, I absolutely love the flexibility of being an IC. I am my own boss and find it much easier when I need time off to just simply ask myself, "Self can I have a few hours off to go shopping!" LOL
hey maybe we should all move to
the Pillafeens! I mean Phillipines

There is a way to move them.
There is a way to move them with Word macros. Email me and I can email you macros and instructions.
You can also move SH this way
Go to Shorthand, File, Open; rt click on the dictionary and copy, then immediately rt cick on your desktop and paste; cancel the file in SH and minimize; on desktop, rt click and Send To Zipped/Compressed File; rt click and send to Email Recipient.
Let's move on to something else. :D nm
.......
This happened to me, and believe it or not, I had to move
Of course, I lived in a mobile home at the time, so it wasn't that bad, but really there was nothing else I could do. I tried talking to them, being nice to them, yelling at them, nothing worked. They would agree with whatever I said, then leave the dogs out, TIED UP, about 6 feet from my back door. It was awful. I used to go to work crying I was so tired. I sympathize.
Time to move
I couldn't stand to be around such ignorant and thoughtless people who keep pit bulls anyway.
Colo move
Hi - I used to live in Colorado Springs, but my Mom and brother still live in Denver. I can't even describe how beautiful it is there. email me if you want.
Time to move on.
I know that's probably easier said than done, considering all you have invested in them. Do you really think you can trust this company, even if they were to deliver to you the account you were supposed to be on? Unless you can truthfully answer that you can, I don't think it's worth it to you to stick around. We teach people how to treat us by our own behavior. Unless you take that sign that says "kick me" off, you'll keep getting kicked. Make sense? It certainly sounds like you can do so much better for yourself, and that any company would be lucky to have you. Good luck. 
Move to Florida?
z
Don't focus on them. Or if you do, move your
mouse up and down really, really fast to see if it gives you motion sickness. LOL
Sometimes stuff just happens and you need to move on
I sure wish life was a simple as you get married and stay together forever..Life is not that simple and even though we think that we will stay married, things happen sometimes and we find ourselves in a situation we never thought we would be in..i.e., falling in love with someone else or getting divorced cause our spouse has fallen out of love or in love with someone else. I will not past judgment on anyone who separates and/or goes through a divorce..Been there, never thought I would be..Thought our love was gonna last forever, thought he would never cheat on me..Stuff happens in life. Having gone through it, I realize people grow and sometimes the other person does not grow in the same direction. Why stay with someone you are miserable with..Life is too short..Nothing worse than living with someone you no longer love or there is so much pain between you that it is even painful just to be in each others company..
they also have the right to MOVE-- They cant tell someone how to live
that is called communism.
Does anyone tell you how to dress?
Does anyone tell you how to wear your hair?
Does anyone tell you what car to drive?
No, it is called FREEDOM.
Maybe they aren't all like that but the ones who move here ARE sm
Apparently our area is an "escape" for the city folks and then they eventually decide to stay.
Unfortunately for us, they want all the big city stuff that you can't have in the country. Can't have it both ways but they sure try.
It may "work" for you but it is a bad move. (nt)
Wise move.
I've been an IC with many companies and an employee with a few others. I've found that many if not most of the supervisors and managers at these places are dead weight authoritarians who get high and justify their existence by puking on people who work for a living. I left at least one place precisely because they tried to hold me responsible for mistakes made by the dictator. Happens all the time.
I wouldn't wish a future in MT on anyone.
NO-V8 and it could get up and move! loved it!
nm
She is obviously OCD, cannot let it go. I suggest we move on.

How do you move from one document
to another in the WordPerfect program without stopping to reach for the mouse. I'm guessing there is a certain key(s) such as F1 or something like that that does it but I haven't been able to find it. Thanks!
smart move. JMO
nm
If DSL was not available where I lived, I'd HAVE to move!
personally, i'd move on
We all fluctuate with line counts; so many variables. But either i'm worth my pay or not, keep me or fire me, but don't drop my pay. Unless you are drastically consistently under a reasonable quota, then think enough of yourself to move on.
Yes! But this was not in MT - I quit to move and - sm
get married. My boss was okay at first with it until he found out I got a job with a minor competitor - in another state; made my life a living *ell after that (I gave 4 weeks notice as I was a pretty key person there). He took it totally personally that I was leaving. He also had no sense or decency. Once after coming back from overseas he came into my office with a large bag of gifts for key/important employees, I made the mistake of assuming he had gotten something for me (I did about 4 people's jobs and was his personal assistant) and had lite up with a big smile. He immediately squashed it and said that there was nothing for me. He was such a scrooge and a *erk. I remember wanting to quit so badly that my parents told me to quit and that they'd support me until I found a new job. I never did take them up on that offer but was sorely tempted. I work for some great people now and in no way miss the *erks out there.
Cut down on salt, and get up and move around sm
every hour or so. If no better, might be a good idea to see your doctor.
It is definitely time to move on
You have gone above and beyond the call of duty with these people and they have just walked all over you. There is absolutely no reason to put up with this kind of treatment. Find another job and then quit this job without notice. They deserve it. Let them try to find someone else who will put up with the things you have dealt with all these years.
And to anyone who has had similar problems - my advice would be, the second time your paycheck is late, start looking for another job. Anybody is allowed one screw-up, but if it happens again, it is probably a pattern. We MTs work hard for our money, and we deserve to be paid on time, just like any other employee.
Good luck to you, OP. I know there is a better job out there for you. I, too, am an IC - I just happened to stumble into a good situation. Feel free to email me if you like, just to blow off steam or whatever. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to help. I will if I can.
Not sure why you would even question. Fix and move on.

Move your office?
As the owner of a house with electric heat, I feel for ya!
I had a Rinnai propane direct vent furnace installed in my living room. It has an electronic ignition, meaning it only uses electricity to start. It will not work if the power goes out. Since having that installed, I have flipped the breakers on the electric heat so it is completely shut off in every room as I no longer need it. I have also moved my office to the living room. I left the fax machine and my files out in my old office, as those are things I only use occasionally. My new "office" really just consists of my desk which has four drawers and all my equipment which fits on my desk.
Every room in my house has a door, so I can shut off the living room, put the heat on, and it's comfortable in a matter of minutes. There is a pass-through between my living room/dining area to the kitchen, so some heat gets out there, but the dining area is an open area that is actually part of the living room. If the temps are in the 0 range, I keep the door between the kitchen/living room open a couple of inches and I open the cabinet doors under the sink so the pipes won't freeze. The downstairs bath's pipes are on an interior wall, but I do leave the cabinet doors open there as well. It's about 58 degrees in the kitchen usually, but it's a nice 68-70 in the living room. At night, about an hour before I go to bed, I let the heat rise up to the bedrooms/bathroom. When I'm done downstairs for the day, I turn the heater down to 60 or put it on 'economy' setting. There's a down comforter on the bed and it's warm enough under that thing. I have to admit though, in the morning I bring my clothes downstairs and put them in front of the Rinnai to warm them up and I get dressed down there!
I haven't used a space heater since moving my office, and I haven't used my electric heat since the propane furnace was installed. The only room I heat for the majority of the day is my living room. If you can move your office to a room you have to heat every day, there's your solution. If not, there are small direct vent units you can install that would be far more efficient than an electric space heater, and safer. You already have gas to the house, and Rinnais can use either propane or natural gas. If your office has an exterior wall, it can be vented outdoors. Rinnai has heaters for one room only. They also have something called a convector heater. You could also install a gas fireplace that would heat your office. There are small and even corner units. Again though, the cheapest thing is to just move your office!
As for your lighting issues, I only use a small flexible neck utility lamp on my desk with a 60 watt light bulb. There other lamps in the room, but when I'm working, I seldom put them on. I only need to see what I am doing at my desk. I hate those energy saving lights. I don't understand the logic in those bulbs. You are not supposed to just toss them in the trash if you get rid of them due to the mercury they contain. You think the majority of the people that use them really take the time and effort to dispose of those things properly? Running a 60 watt bulb in your house is not going to suck the energy from the world. The green/energy/save the whales people need to focus on the big consumers of electricity like industries, malls, hospitals, etc., not the middle-class homeowner and their light bulbs.
Well now, wasn't that a long answer to your short question(s)?
Good luck with the heating issues!
I would move her to GA. You wouldn't have to
up root your children. I took care of my mother 24/7. I moved into her home, though we lived in the same city. I tried to work, but at best was only able to work maybe 20 hours/week. Fortunately I worked for a small local MTSO who was very accommodating.
You don't mention a husband so I'm assuming you'll have no support system. If children's father is involved in their lives will the move affect vistation?
Yes, I get upset, but then just move on
I think 6 cpl is ridiculous for any type of MT work. That is just horrible. That is robbery without a gun. By the time you pay taxes on that you've basically worked for free.
Like it or no though because of the nationals, the smaller MTSO has to bid lower to get the work, then once they sub it out they can't pay but so much or they will not make a profit.
Unfortunately, you're better off to get your own accounts and not sub or else bite the bullet for a true employee position that hopefully will give you a raise and has some accounts that are doable and don't swap you to and fro all day so that you cannot make production.
Is QA an upward move?
I'm just curious about this, as I've seen numerous posts over the years that say that a fast MT can almost always earn more than a QA person (this doesn't make sense because of the knowledge requirement for QA,but as we all know, there's a lot in MT that doesn't make sense). Is there any way to be upwardly mobile in this field? I've heard that supervisors don't make much and that doing QA doesn't pay a lot. Is this true?
Move as much as I can when not transcribing...
Over the years, I think you do have spells where the isolation really gets to you. I work second shift. I used to be a real stickler for getting out and walking first thing every morning, rain or shine, that or mess around in the yard in the spring or summer; always did me a world of good even though now it's not a daily thing. My mom is within walking distance and is aging so I often make myself walk over there and do things at her house, cook, clean, go out together during the day, whatever. We used to do a great deal of babysitting for the grandnephews during the day; that was like working 2 jobs, exhausting, actually, so I appreciated the isolation in the evenings after that. Anyway, key for me is getting out and helping somebody else. At work, I put a small TV on (way off to the side of me) with the volume low or off or play an FM instrumental station; I don't want to hear singing, so it's only instrumental.
Hey, if I'm not getting paid - I move on!! Not as dumb as you are!
LOL
You need to move. That is terrible. Bless you.
xx
okay now I am ready to make a move
I could kick myself -the company I am working for keeps saying it will pick up and I keep staying, meanwhile I have put on hold a job I should have taken-MDI in Maryland. I have learned my lesson! I am finally ready to move on-anyone looking for an IC who can do 1300 lines a day?
okay now I am ready to make a move
What company were you working for that was not giving you enough work? I have recently made a move and am also not getting the work I thought I would get when I changed.
Me too - congratulations on your move up in life!
.
Do you think it's a sign? Time to move!

Do the first account first, clean it out, then move on

Move to Arizona. Don't the heater too much here!!!nm
