Why dont you stop coming in and agitating everyone under all your different names. Dont you work.

Same thing with nationals. You work all the time to keep the account caught up when others dont work
and then when they decide to put a whole lot of extra people on your accounts and run you out they could care less about how much you worked.
Good. Why dont you send some our way. What office do you work for so I can call and get your work.

Dont you think some of the better work and ASR work goes to the newbies they are hiring lately. I
am sure it goes somewhere because I will be finished with all jobs and the next morning there is ASR work from 14 hours ago. Odd right. Where was it. Probably in another pool so we dont get it and others do. I am pooled for ASR so I would have gotten it but didnt.
this does not happen to just work at
homers! I used to think and sing to myself "I don't want to grow up, I don't want to go to work"! The motivation: I looked around, just like problems with the kids, and found no one else around!
Yes, I am lucky. I happen to work for a
MTSO that has a major account in the midwest that has no plans on sending work overseas because they realize the quality of the work they receive from the MTs here in the states. No, they are not hiring and I don't know how they would feel having their name on the board, so I will not name them. I worked at MQ for 12 years and 1-1/2 years ago left them and found this company. And, I stand corrected, I will make over 50K with them this year after only being there a little over a year. There are jobs out there, you just have to be persistent in looking for them.

Meant to say SE's dont get OT. They can work as much as they please.
:
not that Americans dont want to work, we just
What we deserve, but paid what it actually costs to LIVE in America, to afford the insanely high medical care, insanely high gas, insanely high food, etc. We can never work for less than what we get because we'd then have to move to a different country where we can afford their cost of living. Its all backwards. Thats why CEOs are all slime...they're sitting pretty up there and do not care what goes on because they're comfortable and well taken care of.
If you work for MTSO, you usually dont have

Which office do you work for if you dont mind.

DO NOT WORK FOR SEAN MEDITRANS-THEY DONT PAY
NM
what company do you work for if you dont mind saying?
I have not yet done it, but from what I hear its on the horizon. To me it sounds wonderful, being able to free up your hands. What do you find to be the biggest problem? Are you losing money? Does it cater to your own voice? Do you have at least an option of typing the whole thing out or how do you do corrections?
Maybe you should just hang in there, unless you're really losing money. From what i've heard, it takes months to master, but once you do, you'll be making double or even triple what you're making now.
I am also sitting here with no work again from Amherst. I dont believe this.

As far as I know there are only adapters from the DB9 to a USB and they dont work for EditScript
I tried it.. I desperately wanted to use my laptop and all it had was USB ports but my 9-pin foot pedal would not work when I got that adapter from a 9-pin to USB. As far as I knew, there are no DB9 USB foot pedal only the serial port 9 pin style that I know of.. Hopefully someone out there has figured it out for us.
Dont know if any company programs work on mac
but i sure love the mac/pc commercials....have you seen the newest with the *peripherals*?
They are and that is why we dont have work then. They bring in other offices and run your office out
of work because too many people are on the account then. Make sense. Nope.
My point is, work a NORMAL EIGHT HOUR SHIFT..dont worry
It takes away from the quality and the turnaround time... 
Trying to take a test in Express Scribe and cannot get my foot pedal to work. I dont want to
cause a problem in DQS with the foot pedal either. Any suggestions. I have the foot pedal that you use for DQS. It is an Infinity foot pedal.
Dont you think MQ will just keep hiring new people who dont know they lost lines because they are
new. I betcha.
If you dont try to fill in blank or research, dont
x
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
how could it not happen?
and how could we have stopped accepting ESL's? I dont know about you but I have worked as an MT for many years and there is no way we could have stopped it. First of all, doctors come from all over the world, medicine is a universal language with many different accents..that is just the way it is. Most doctors I have worked with have accents. That is part of the job, learning ESL doctors. I personally dont want any work sent overseas, even the mumblers, ESL's, etc.
This used to happen to me
This used to happen to me back in the 1970s..When I told my doctor, he said it was just that I woke up before my body was able to start producing my chemistries and such fast enough..So I was suspended, if you will, for a few seconds, which felt to me like minutes..I can remember waking up in my mind but my body would not move and I would panic thinking I have to get up..move arm, move leg, get up!! I believe totally in the paranormal and spiritual word. I have had experiences in the spiritual world both with family who have passed, animals who have passed and just researching it myself..but..hmmmm..I will have to research what you post about the not waking experience..I tell you, it is quite a frightening experience. P.S.: I love Sylvia Browne..I have gone to three of her seminars in Los Angeles..
Does this every happen to anyone besides me? (please SM)
After transcribing for lengthy periods of time, do you feel irritable? Kinda like you want to run to the nearest window and jump out cause you feel all this inner energy but have to sit in a chair and type and it is driving you nuts?
I probably need to takes walks or do something physical but am working 8-10 hours a day.
Just wondering if I am going nuts or what. It is rather unnerving, this feeling. Maybe it is menopausal as I am nearing that age, also. Can anyone identify with this strange feeling?
Where did this happen?

Don't ever think it cannot happen to you. You are in
zz
this always does not happen
That is not true. There are too many people working and not enough work. They will always tell you the same thing; it is slow during the holidays, it is slow during the summer, it is slow in the fall, the holidays are coming, etc. there is a storm outside, anything to just shut us up. They just think we are stupid.
changes happen everywhere (sm)
I used to work for another company that has since changed its name and merged with another company. We had so many changes in the 2 short years I was there, enough to make your head spin. Most of the time they were changes not to the advantage of many, or they made it more difficult to keep up with the changes.
Having had this happen to me I am
going to tell you that you have to get a restraining order on him both personally and for a distance that includes your home and such. Then go to the phone and satellite people as well. If you give the phone people access they can monitor but you have to be willing to prosecute when they hit the nail on the head. I suspect it may well be the same with your satellite folks.
My husband had passed away and I got involved with someone who smelled money .. being an idiot I fell for all the honey/dearie stuff and it cost me money and it cost me my home and damned near my life .. never mind my self esteem. You had better come clean with your family and get their help because it is misery alone and that is where I was save for a few friends who almost did not believe me.
I never thought I would see the end of it .. but I am here alive and kicking and believe me it is a good lesson to learn. I am recovering slowly and have days I could probably commit murder yet, but first start with your computer and have it reformatted, get it cleaned up and then scan it every damned day if necessary.
Never had this happen (sm)
but common sense says she was scammed. Why would you have to pay to get a grant? Sounds fishy to me.
I have had this happen before...
and was told that it can just sometimes "happen". Sometimes the test can be done wrong, etc. Hopefully in your case, that will be it. In my case they did a repeat PAP smear, and everything was A-OK. Try not to worry and stress too much.
Anybody ever have this happen?
It seems that the owners to the company I've done work for over the past week have simply disappeared. I cannot contact them via phone or e-mail. Has this ever happened to anyone here? They could be on vacation, I guess? There's no work posted since Friday on the FTP site either. Weird, huh?
I had that happen too
I use the Olympus pedal and had never had any problems, until one day . . .
Anyway, I unplugged it and plugged it back in and that worked, but now it happens all the time (VERY irritating). For me, I think that it may have to do with playing .wav files (vs. the .dss Olympus-recorded files) because it seems to happen with the .dss files only when I have been transcribing .wav files and then switch, but with the .wav files it may happen even if I walk away for a while and my computer "goes to sleep".
I have had this happen too
and it mostly happens when using my doc's templates. These templates were originally done in Word Perfect and altered to be compatible with MS Word. I think it has something to do with that, but I don't know how to correct it, other than to get new templates.
How did that happen??? Should have been

I have had that happen, but
like you said it always goes away pretty quick. This hot tea is really helping, I am feeling it less and less. Whew!!!
I Had Something Like That Happen
I was supposed to be on review for 5 days and I was still on review after 2 weeks. My accuracy was 99.6%, so I wrote the guy above my supervisor and told him I'd been on the 5-day review for 2 weeks. He apologized and the next day, I received an e-mail telling me I was off review, had 100% accuracy now, and was doing great.
I would say that he just forgot. The guy was not upset I contacted him, and I've had DSP (direct submission privileges) since.
Amanda, RMT 
Where in MO did this happen??...nm
nm
Had that happen to me once as well
The company took a 15% pay cut on all employees - including the CEO and board officers, although they did get to keep their hefty yearly bonuses that the employees did not get. I stayed a year on the promise of it being given back, then left. That was 12 years ago. I have a friend who still works there and she is still waiting....
OMG, I cannot believe this would happen.....
If you watch all of the news, a lot of parents leave their children in their vehicles all the time "just to run into the store long enough to get" blah, blah, blah and the vehicle is left with the keys, child sleeping in the back and all stolen. So what, pray tell, are you talking about??? Stupidness can happen everywhere and it does. Sounds like, duh, I didn’t know it would happen in my community.....
Anyone had this happen to you?
Yesterday, I gave my notice to the company I have been IC'ing for the last 14 months because I found a job that pays more and pays weekly by direct deposit. My boss acted like I committed a crime and has been a total jerk ever since. This is not the first he has acted like a jerk. Anytime he has a bad day, he takes it out on his transcriptionists and treats us like crap. I am just really tired of it and needed a change. So now, he is not communicating with me or sending me any work. Have any of you ever had an experience like this?
This is exactly what can happen when you
network. Let everyone you meet know that you are a medical Transcriptionist and love your job. These are the kinds of situations that land you your own accounts. Good luck. 
something has to happen first
We should be concerned and most of are very concerned about data transferred overseas, but until something happens, something bad, something with a direct link, no media attention of substance will be directed towards it...and economic deals are first and foremost, security second.
While I would like to see that happen, too,
The bottomline is cost. By paying for a service to come in and handle the transcription, the hospital frees up valuable office space, has no asset investments to upkeep or even purchases to make, does not have to payroll employees and all the benefits and SS taxes, etc. Having employees is very expensive.
Hospitals have got to cut costs to continue providing services. Obviously, the less they pay out for running the business, the more funds are freed up for investing back into the facility.
Transcription services (small or large or nationals) offer that solution.
This used to happen to me using
a different program, and the other MT I was working with told me about hitting some combination to turn it off. I think it was CTRL shift period or ALT shift period.
Does this ring any bells with anybody else?
