Tampa Bay and area, Tampa a city. sm
Tampa Bay is actually the water in the Bay, but the communities along the shore have come to be referred to as Tampa Bay. Not a town, though. Tampa is an actual town.
Why dont you stop coming in and agitating everyone under all your different names. Dont you work.

Tampa
I agree with the poster below. Tampa has really been cleaned up and is quite a beautiful city now. It used to be seedy and sleazy in many areas. My mom used to live there so I visited and spent a few summers there. Tampa is nicer than St. Pete or Clearwater in my opinion. There are plenty of hospitals and the job market is good. Clearwater is very touristy and St. Pete is a bit more of the retirement community atmosphere. Good luck with your decision.
Tampa
I visited in Tampa (my husband originally from there) last summer and darn the jobs, what about all that barbecue!! It was all over the place. I love it with a passion and am always on the lookout for the best. It would be worth a move there just for that.
Dont you think MQ will just keep hiring new people who dont know they lost lines because they are
new. I betcha.
Are their any IC in the Tampa, FL area?
Just wondering if there were any other IC in the Tampa/Brandon area, and do you think line rates are cheap around here?? 
Ditto from Tampa!~
We have had more storms the past few years than we know what to do with! You can buy all the canned stuff you want, but if your house is gone what good is it??

Anyone in Brandon/Tampa, FL??
Just wondering if there is anyone in my area that would be interested in doing my IC accounts while I am on vacation 3/18/06-3/25/06.
Let me know if anyone is interested
Steeler fan in Tampa, FL~~
Great game ysterday!
Tampa Bay area
I have been here for 15 years and still love to drive over the causeway into Tampa it is just so neat having the water all around! I will say that things are more affordable in Tampa but the county taxes are high because you are paying for the Bucs and for many social programs as there is a price to pay to fix a city and make it a place anyone would want to live. Pinellas County (over the Bay and more beach like) is a bit pricier, but there are still affordable places to live. SW Pasco county is also affordable and taxes are lower but so are services. It all depends on what you want/need. Jobs are available. Many hospitals still have inhouse and there are services always looking for good help. I love it here and there is a substantial community of MTs if you need a shoulder to cry/grouse on!!
any Tampa transcriptionists here?
I would love to know - I have a question.
thanks!
I live outside Tampa nm
:)
I'm not the Tampa poster but live in FL
Florida and especially TAMPA is up and coming - they cleaned up that city (which was a mess 30 years ago) and it's booming and affordable!! That's just my opinion. Also the beaches there are far nicer than the east coast of Florida, again, just my opinion. I hope you find Florida as wonderful as I do but it took me 5 years to really start loving it once I got here. Best of luck, really!!!
The company I work for is in Tampa, but I am not. nm
If you dont try to fill in blank or research, dont

Hey tampa typists - I'm moving back despite the storms and despite
how much I hate the lifestyle of Tampa, but what can you do - that is where I make $$$
The way I understand it if you dont keep below 10 to 15% QA you dont get the bonus even if your QA
score remains above 98% so you see as the other poster said you are between a rock and a hard place and I expect this is MQ way of getting out of paying a bonus to people. I see it this way anyhow. I plan to continue to send unclear things to QA and that is the way it is. I expect depending on the new pay scale on top of this they will be losing a lot of MTs anyhow as they continue to miser everyone out of money.
Do you honestly think they do. I dont. I dont think some of them can even understand some of the
reports they listen to quite frankly.
If you dont want to read a thread, then dont.

Most Dr. dont care and dont know how they get

Since dont know of any cars that dont use

I dont know. I didnt care then and I dont care now.
Just me
Don't forget to ask...
What types of accounts you will have and whether you will have backups if your primary runs out of work. Do they pay for spaces and use of expansions or normals? Are hours flexible if you need it? Is there any charge for equipment? software? Is tech support available all the time? How soon do the bennies such as health insurance kick in? How often do you get paid and when can you expect your first paycheck? Do they give pay raises, incentives or anything else that can increase your income? What kind of training will you get until you are comfortable with the accounts? Are there a lot of ESLs?
Whether they answer any questions honestly or not you will find out when you get started. Probably best to run the company name on MTStars and see what you get. Good luck! 
Will never forget

Yep, and don't forget 100% QA! LOL. Seriously, I

yes, that's what I always do, but don't forget
Frozen ham has a tendency to taste saltier, so when you use it, you probably won't need to add any salt.

Don't forget that before white out and all the other things, we had to use a razor blade to remove errors from ALL of the copies. I worked for a VA Hospital and everything had about 6 or 7 copies. Cut many a finger in those days, but learned how to be accurate really fast.
Forget about them and those like them and
live your life, period. I wish I could post a saying I got from Mother Theresa the other day but it does something like this:
People will hate you. Do good anyway. It was never about them, it's only about you and God. Something along those lines. And only half of these posts are nuts.
I'm sorry, but how can someone just forget...
Valentine's Day? That's like forgetting it's Christmas. It's all over the TV, in the stores, everywhere you go, there was something about Valentine's Day. I don't buy the "forgetting" thing at all...unless he lives under a rock or in a cave, he didn't forget...
Better to forget IC at 6 to 8 CPL
After you pay your taxes, it averages only 4 to 6 CPL. I would rather be an employee. Never will go IC again.
And let's not forget..............nm

you'll probably be typing headers and a bunch of junk. Not for me, but if you do it, make sure you'll get paid for it.

It really helps if you can have someone who is just in charge of the money. They could sit at a table and concentrate on just taking in the money. You can get really distracted when buyers want to ask you about merchandise. So much fun at the end of the day adding it all up and treating yourself to a yummy lunch!
just like me to forget something..
also must pay local tax and Soc Sec tax of 15%. Yuck!
yes, and don't forget

Oh and don't forget...
the one I came across that took it to the bathroom with him and it was still running!!! GROSS!!!!!!! 
Forget it. You do not need it.

don't forget to look at
overstock.com when purchasing! I've found a couple of books there cheap, and the shipping is usually cheap, too. They do have the CD version for $42 and change right now with $1.40 shipping.
Sometimes they forget
My friend is a speech pathologist. She told me that before she met me, she never used to think of the transcriptionist. She hated dictating, but she had to do it. So she used to dictate as fast as possible just to get it over with, not thinking that someone had to figure out what she was saying. But now she makes an effort to be understood and actually acknowledges MT and will say good day and thank you.
Don't forget.....
Work is not guaranteed, no pay for downtime (or rarely), must know all specialties, be around when work is there - not necessarily what you agreed to, work over or get no work, be availabe via phone, messagers and email, oh and be an Office and Word expert cause we aren't providing any help with that...Plus, lunch is at your desk...I bet starbucks even gives you a lunch break without whining about it.
Don't forget to consider your
chair height and whether your hands are too high compared to your elbows.
Don't forget
Things like benefits, paid holidays, vacation and sick pay. Those all add to your per line rate as an employee, and you should be compensated appropriately to offset these things as an IC.
Forget it
You won't get a vacation unless you can find another IC or two who can fill in for you. Also, you will need to schedule around your doctors' vacations - at this point in my life, I don't want to work around the clock anymore and I wouldn't do it, but if you're up for it, you go girl.
Should be FORGET actually, sorry! nm

 my head hurts from the whinnnnnney voice and her total clueless-ness of what
an MT does.
Don't forget the so ever "critical" ....sm
omission of apostrophe's now. According to them it's no longer Alzheimer's disease but Alzheimer disease. Sounds stupid as crap and makes it look like we're a bunch of idiots to type things this way.
