Frankly, I'm getting really
This year is just not as good as last year. Maybe it's because the contestants aren't as good as last year, I don't know, but I do know that I'm becoming bored with the whole show! 
Frankly my dear...
We MQer's are soooo sick of the whining non-MQers who just don't "get it." Sorry if U have so little energy that navigating around our posts is so darn hard on U. Sheesh.
Frankly, Scarlet ... LOL nm

Frankly, this all sounds hateful. sm
Saying you hate coddling minorities, etc., is pretty scary. What's wrong with a play that includes the full religious and cultural beliefs of the season rather than just yours?
And yes, you could probably tell there weren't any blacks in the audience, but you couldn't tell if there were any Jews.
There's a lot of hate here and a lot of xenophobia. Frankly, the attitudes don't sound much like Jesus at all.
I got some last year and frankly, don't seem to work...sm
for me. I think they would probably do better with boots on, but that isn't going to happen. They seem to just heat in the toes and really not very much. Don't keep me any warmer than heavy socks. I also have some socks that are to microwave. They have beads all through the bottom of the sock. Not bad, but very temporary and tough to walk with.
Frankly my dear, I don’t give a
hoot about what my family or anyone else would THINK about my work, why should I spend my time even considering that?? You only need to burn energy for things you can change, not things you cannot. I think it is a waste of time. People will think what they want to think and all the breath in the world will not change them. Let others vent, I could care less. I have more important things to do besides wondering what people think of me, my family, my pets, etc. I live my life like I want to. As you age, you really could care less about what people think. Waste of time. Do like Sylvia Browne says, if anything toxic around you, be it a child or whatever, you put it aside. Life is too short, much too short.
Quite frankly Karen, I LOVE MY JOB!!!
I love my company, my hours, and most of all, I feel I am paid an honest wage (more than I was making in-house at a hospital). So, no, it is not ALL bad. I went through several companies and was very discouraged, but no longer. Good luck to you.
I frankly am amazed that most let this happen
When I had to work and support a family I did not have the option of sitting around and waiting on work. Hubby and I had a talk about this just last night. He said as long as they allow it to happen it will continue. Years ago as a divorced mother who had a family to support, out of work, well then I got out and found something else. I was never without work, in fact I worked several transcription jobs because I always wanted to have more money as I loved to travel and hated to not be able to buy like I wanted to. Never had food stamps, no welfare, nothing from outsiders, just me doing it. Bought a home on my own, cars, traveled, food always on the table. I never just sat and waited for work.
Quite frankly I am surprised at Snow Bunny
You have been on these boards long enough to know better. I am very surprised you would say such things in the manner you did. I always held you in such respect. Goes to show, you never really know someone.
Frankly, if you are an educator, I'm am surprised at your response...
aren't you required to have ongoing training regarding learning disabilities and disorders such as ADHD? After all, federal law requires that teachers provide accomodations for this "fake disease" so maybe you better catch up with what evidence-based medicine is teaching these days.
Reading your post and frankly, my dear,
I do not believe if you transcribe 200 lph manually that you can do 6500 lines a day on Escription. Manually I always typed 250 or more an hour. I now work on Escription and have for some time. You would have had to go from manual from 1600 lines a day to over 800 lph. I have NEVER done 800 an hour and have done Escription now for 5 years. If I kept my foot on the pedal without making the first correction I do not think 800 would be possible. You must be in sales for the Escription platform.
Frankly, Frank's rank rankles the ranks!
AAMT has been working on that for a long time. Frankly sm
I would prefer AAMT start working on getting us better working conditions, a more standardized and fair pay scale, and benefits, instead of certifying offshore MTs and getting involved in offshoring to the extent that they are. Really, now, which do you care most about?
QA works on quota. Frankly, they don't try that hard, either, to fill in the blanks.

TO CONCERNED
Try googling the city, county where he used to live. In my county ALL court records are on the internet now.
I finally divorced my husband of 27 years, he started drinking heavy and became a monster, after the last 5 starting with emotional abuse, refusing intervention (even his family would not talk to him), it took one night and one night only when he got physical and I got my child and myself out and never look back.
It's not easy to start over but once they strike, they can apologize from now to kingdom come, promise it will never happen again but it does.
Contact your local YWCA. They usually have court advocates along with domestic violence hotlines. Please talk to them and they can answer all your questions and give you the support you need.
Get out now before it get's worse. Your in my prayers.

I just want to know WHAT IS UP lately with all of the LOW, LOW, LOW cpl rate being offered on the job seeker's board?????? I thought that the cost of living always went UP, not DOWN, but the pay being offered for medical transcription is RIDICULOUS. I'm sorry, I just have to put in my 2 cents' worth. We work our fingers to the bone, some days all day long, some weeks all week long, if we work at home we are never really away from work, it's too easy to pop into the office and work a little because it's always there, and 5, 6, or 7 cpl????!!!!???? Come ON people! Offer more than that! We are WORTH it!!! We can't feed our families, pay insurance, house payments, car payments, kids' college tuition, etc., on these sorely low amounts. I mean, there are newbies out there who will gladly those offers, and I'm certainly not knocking newbies, I was once one myself, but most all of the job offers I've looked at lately aren't offering to pay anymore tha 5, 6, or 7 cpl, and there are more than just newbies looking at this job seeker board! Thanks for listening!! 
quite concerned
I was so irritated when I posted this message I didn't proofread it. Yes, for those of you who will bash me for that, I do know I made the errors.
Concerned MT
can you post an update and let us know how many signatures you got and what has happened with the petition? Thanks.
No one will ever be as concerned about your $

I too have been offered the apprenticeship program at Focus and after asking several questions was told that I would move to editing after I passed the program. I'm worried because of the things I've read about them withholding your paycheck if you have any errors in your reports -- do you know how often this occurs? And how often do they pay you? I am concerned because we will be paying for daycare up front and if I for any reason have an error that makes them keep my whole paycheck (and subsequently makes me unable to pay for daycare), I am going to kill somebody
...I have had 98.7+ accuracy in my previous job as an MT, so maybe I have nothing to worry about and should just take the offer?
As far as I'm concerned
I don't know either one of them so I really have no opinion one way or the other. Unless you are privy to everything that happened or you know them personally, I can't understand why people are so up in arms about any of this.
Should we be concerned?
In our log of jobs, "PowerScript Transcription" is listed as having done one job. Does this signal the end of my job? Is this how it happens? ::gulp::
Is anyone else concerned about Howie?
He is almost certainly going to be evicted from the Big Brother House by that evil April, Maggie and Yvette. He was a RIOT (loved his obsession with "boobies")...
To Very Concerned Re: Transform sm
I work there, have for about a year. I got that same paper and now I cannot find what I did with it. Do you think it is something we should be really concerned over? I cannot find it to see what it was about. Thanks.
I think it is thoughtful of you and you should not be too concerned if (sm)
someone thought it "weird" as gifts are given from the heart and yours seems to be overflowing!!! It is so nice to see someone actually more worried about giving this year than receiving!! I work from home as well for a small MTSO and I will follow in your footsteps!!!
as far as books are concerned
They way i look at it don't take them basically you can find everything you would need by googling or if necessary post on here!
and until then, I'm not concerned with what AAMT/JC has to say. NM

I did the tax return myself and was more concerned (sm)
about who and how many people dealt with my return at the IRS department.
Movin' it up here...TO CONCERNED from yesterday (sm)
Thinking about you & hoping you are safe & feeling a little less sore. Please e-mail me if you can or call (if you get voicemail, I will call you back if it is safe).
Remember what I said yesterday...YOU ARE NOT ALONE

As far as the social situation is concerned, get
him in cub scouts, community sports, etc. This is really not an educational issue IMO and not the responsibility of the school system.
The school system in most cases will try to do as little as possible for your child, but if you have a diagnosis, you can write an IEP and they have a legal obligation to follow it, whether they like it or not. They also have to provide testing, like it or not, but we always had ours done on our own as I didn't feel like I would get an honest evaluation from the school system.
Absolutely NOT. If they are that concerned about their information, they
can send you a brand new computer at no charge or at a small rental fee per month. Otherwise for them to access your computer without your permission is considered hacking. It sounds as if the MTSO or tech person is paranoid or nosy and trying to bully you into something they have no legal right to do. My response would be to write NO on the form, do not sign it, and tell them what I just said here.
I'd be more concerned with the company whose tapes
and CD's you've gotten if you attempt to sell the use of them for learning purposes. I think there'd be some copyright issue there since you'd be making money with their product that is intended for personal use (maybe, I'm not really sure how that'd work). I think they'd have a bigger issue with you than the local colleges.
everyone has worth and value. if God wasn't concerned with your value
He would have let us die in sin.
He didn't.
I don't hate you or anyone who has faces this. I just know that whether we personally like what God has stated, we must abide by it and He can give deliverance, if we want salvation.
God bless.
Hugs to you. We really do care and are concerned. nm

I understand why you're concerned. Its not
so much that you need to mind your own business in that you don't want to end up losing the account because some other dimwit MT is not following the rules. I don't know what I'd do either, but don't blame yourself and think its none of your business. It 100% is your business. Again, I have worked as an IC and lost accounts because of other MTs who just won't follow directions....so I wouldn't want to see that happen to you either. Sorry for your situation.
As might Hillary Clinton, who is also concerned. (nm)
.
Yup. It's required reading, as far as I'm concerned.
I see WAY too many MTs just sort of doing their own thing (usually incorrectly). Several places I've worked at require using the BOS as your guideline. I know I would if I owned my own service or were the manager of an MT department. It gives us all one common language, one standard.
Nope. None of my doctors are concerned with someone else's
idea of what is correct or required.
Talk and ask questions. You may be concerned
x
Shouldn't the doctors be concerned?
Maybe put me on something other than indomethacin? I have spent so much time trying to research this, and either I am not looking up the right things, or there simply is not much information out there. I am very confused and kind of scared about ruining my kidneys while the doctors blow it off.
I do believe the JC is only concerned with files being complete as in
up to date - not gramatically correct.
MQ is a trendsetter. We should all be concerned about this. They probably hope many will quit.

We've all had these and as far as I am concerned, we all should be paid extra!!! NM

Concerned - check link inside
This is a list of available public records for North Carolina. Oddly, the criminal search is a pay feature but you can probably get enough information from some of the other available searches. Good luck.

Chantix - Anyone use it to quit smoking? I am most concerned sm
about the nausea. I have been hearing it is pretty bad for at least 1/3 of the people who have used it. I have a generally touchy stomach as it is. Please post your comments here or by email
I gather from your post, you're concerned
about the computer. Ethically, you should not use it to do another job. Legally, if your company specifically stated not to use it for personal use (i.e. surfing the net, working another job, paying bills, etc), you should not use it. Some companies have Spyware on the computers they supply you with and can track your usage of it. Although I doubt most companies would go after you for using it to do your banking, working another job on it may be an issue. It would be best to check with your human resources dept to see what the policy is on personal use of the computer before downloading another company's platform. You may also need to take into consideration whether your present company will need to dial into your computer for any reason and see the new platform on it.
Although I wasn't working a second job on a company-provided computer, I did store my personal photos and had a couple of games on it for my kids. When I had a problem and tech support dialed in to my computer, they saw it and told me I needed to remove those items. They told me they wouldn't report me or anything, but that they are supposed to report such things and to please remove them. I did immediately and haven't added a thing to that computer since. When I started a second job (to eventually phase out the first), I bought a used computer for a while until I could afford a new one. I'm too much of a worrywart or scaredycat and didn't need something else to stress over.
IF IT'S THE PHYSICAL STRAINS YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT...SM
How many waitresses do you see in their 60s and early 70s doing a job that would rival any nursing job as far as physical strai?. You might want to look on the NURSING BOARD, where they have students 58-59 y/o just starting nursing school; I'm among them, even though I have prior nursing education and need to finish up a few months/years.
If you think a full-fledged RN program might be too much to carry at this point, have you considered an LPN course for 12 months FT or 18 months PT study? LPNs make a fair salary, even as newbies ... beats this MT "indentured servitude".
cont (above)..concerned b/c no dir. deposit today and payday is Jul 10.

Why would they care? Management is paid salary and that's all they're concerned with.
We're an expendable commodity to those people. If we quit, we're easily replaced.
Ppl are so concerned about HIPAA. Most records, including SS#, go to 3rd world countries!
