letting her know they approached you and not the other way... I would not trust them... they could drop you just as quickly down the line and she might not hire you back.....

What part of the country is your main office in?

Well, part of the reason I do NOT work in an office sm
is so that I CAN take the time to stop and feed my child, or put a band-aid on a scraped knee, or read a quick story... My children are a priority to me and the distraction they cause is acceptable for me. That doesn't make my work ethic any less than yours IMO, I work more hours probably. I work some nights after the rest of my family is sleeping. My work ethic is such that I get my work done and still give time to my children when they need it.
can you take part of the water bill under the home office deduction? (nm)

I started part-time in a doc's office while still in high school. sm
That was in 1984. My career just bloomed from there......
you need to be upfront and NOW. nm
If not w/your mom, at least w/him. Be very direct, no innuendos. Tell him if he doesn't stop, totally and immediately, you will never come over again and you will tell your mom why. Do not make that an idle threat. Your mom can visit you elsewhere.
People will only take advantage of you (assuming you are an adult) if you let them. period.
I am being upfront. Sm
I'm being up front about what I will be charging, but I see no reason why I have to go indepth and tell them every little thing. I'm really getting sick and tired of these cheap skate doctors' offices,and I'm also getting a ticked BIG TIME of the MTs, like YOU, who defend them and their business practices, too! As if your clients wouldn't dump you in a New York minute if they could save a couple of cents. You better wake up and smell the coffee honey! I've tried playing Ms. Honest and Ms. Nice Guy for a LONG time. Where did it get me? 
You need to be upfront with them. What you suggest isn't right.
You are being honest and upfront and you have got to do what you have to !! nm

Being upfront and honest with MTs
I started with a company a few months ago and loved it. Then, I began getting more and more ESLs, which is fine because I know it's part of the job. NOW, that is all I'm getting. When I ask about this, I'm told "We have no control of how the hospital sends over the files."
Today they said they assigned Dr. X to various transcriptionists because the main MT for Dr. X is out sick. ??? How can this be done if they have no control of who gets what file? I knew they were not being honest with me from the beginning because I worked at a hospital and know how files are sent over, assigning files, etc.
Just when I thought I found a place I could stay with - and they wonder why morale is down! - Can't wait to get out of this business! SAT (sick and tired)
full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I ask for partial payment upfront if they were

The easy part is making the decision to leave, the hard part is
actually doing it. Been in your shoes and it took me a year and a half to leave after I had made the decision to do so. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself and my girls. I had family and friends and a counselor telling me what needed to be done and I knew what needed to be done but until I had the courage on my own to do it I stayed. One day, we had an argument and he spit in my face and that was the last straw for me. Even though it is something that I will NEVER forget, that day is also a day I will never forget because it is the day that I took my kids and left. I am a single mom of 2 and have been single and supporting us for 5 years now. I have been healing ever since and still am to this day. You can do this. I know that if I hadn't have left and I would have stayed one of us would be dead by now or both.
no I'm not first, he tells me so too
 My fiance' has informed me many times that his kids will always be first: kids first, me second. He's been raising them alone for 2 years now so they really take a toll on him (therefore US) emotionally, financially, even physically because his son is mentally handicapped and his daughter is extremely lazy and spoiled...so he is constantly cleaning up messes, doing unneccessary laundry, dishes, etc. (Could start a whole topic on that alone.) I have no kids, never been married. I love his kids but I can't say I'd give my life for them or anything. In fact, the more I explore our relationship I seriously doubt I will marry this man. Already he speaks of providing for them with me providing for myself and marriage is a joint effort. I resent the idea of furnishing a spoiled lifestyle for two kids who are not biologically mine. He's already mentioned that he'd provide for the kids & money I make could be "our" money. Well that amounts to me supporting the family, in my opinion....for what he buys the kids could also be used for paying bills, groceries, etc. Sigh, I think I deserve better...a better life than this.
Exactly right. If no one tells you, you won't know.

I don't think there is anything that tells you
how much RAM any particular process uses. If you have less than 1056 you don't have enough to be leaving a lot of programs open.
You can run a defrag and that might free up some stuff if you haven't done it in a while. Running a defrag doesn't allow you to do anything else on your computer though. I run it when I'm through for the night.
You can do an Msconfig and see if you have hidden programs running in the background and you can disable them from loading on startup.
Something Tells Me That -
Who tells everyone how fantastic their employer is, yet refuses to divulge the name should anyone ask because you fear they'll take your job.
Am I right?
Thought so.
I don't worry about those types of things. I'm secure enough in my skill and knowledge that I'm willing to share info with and help any MT who needs it.
Life's too short for such paranoid delusions.
Maybe just a letter that tells her how much you
appreciate her and everything she's done for you, how much you love her, et cetera. I would much rather have something like that from my children than a gift. Gifts are nice, too, but sometimes something from the heart just means so much more.
Your own physician tells you that you know too much. nm

Have most people had good luck with their MQ office closing and moving to the regional office. Have
things gotten better or worse for you.
Yes, I lost mine. I upgraded the Office 2000 package to Office 2003. sm
I have over 2000 autocorrect entries and lost them all as well as my supplemental dictionary for my Stedman's spellcheck. Lots of grief!
Maybe you will be lucky and not lose anything. Good luck to you.
Might be able to rent one from an office supply or office machine repair shop

Do you believe that story. That is what they told her to say. MQ tells everyone what to say to get
what they want. You would not believe the lines I have heard from my office. I have asolutely no respect for these people. They lie through their teeth for MQ. MQ is hiring because they want to have a very short TAT and try to keep the accounts they have and then a lot of people quit because they dont have work and have tons of backups and make no money in them. Everything MQ does is for them and not the MT. You are just along for the ride.
Yes, but only if tells me to sleep all day or eat ice cream.

Thanks. That tells me a lot about why my line count..sm
seems so much lower than I feel it should be since I do about the same amount of work and probably more now, but can not seem to make 1000 lpd.
He tells me he loves me all the time, and not
only does he tell me, he shows me. He isn't romantic at all, but he does little things all the time that shows he is thinking of me.
He likes to share new experiences with me, he enjoys going to craft shows with. He isn't particularly fond of working in the yard, but he knows how much I enjoy it and he spends hours working in the yard, even when I'm not working with him.
He cooks and helps around the house (usually without grumbling). I could serve him burnt toast for supper and he would thank me for a good meal.
He overlooks my faults.

Office politics. That is why I enjoy working at home. In the office,
people are in other people business. Just mind your own business.
Nice rant, but nobody tells me what to charge. nm

It is where the doctor tells you to "pull forward" SM
something from the patient's last visit. For example, he will say pull forward my problem list, medications, and allergies from job # whatever and you will go back and copy and paste that into the patient's new report. Sometimes they will make changes and sometimes they won't. I didn't know what it was until 2 years ago when I started an account that did it.

What kind of retirement tells you how much you can earn?
I will start drawing from a pension plan this April - I have absolutely nothing saying I can or cannot make X amount of dollars a month. How did you get a retirement that tells you what you can make? This sounds strange to me.
common sense tells me as an IC no takes are taken ouf and if ----
that is true about owing CA taxes - you would pay them the same way you handle Federal and the state you live in.
They are not to take ANYTHING out unless you are an SE or full out employee. ICs, no.

In that case you have to do what your lead tells you, but I would have never even asked my superviso
I would have just transcribed it and moved on. The only thing is, the x-ray is possibly not consistent with the rest of the medical record.

Can anyone suggest an office in MQ that is not run like this Amherst office. They are absolutely
pathetic. I wonder how many other MTs are in that office in the same situation.
Just DQS from my office was transferred and the rest are getting on DQS before the office closes.
