Regarding your friend, a lot of times
when a facility outsources, the MTSO will ask if some of the MTs want to work for them as they are gaining a new account and would save on training individuals for that account.
IT only takes me a couple times...
of eating out and then I like my own cooking again. Most restaurant food is too expensive, the portions are too big and it tastes like it was made with no love! Maybe a cookbook with easy recipes would be the answer to the blahs!
I've had it a couple of times.
Doctor gave me a sheet of exercises to do on my own which just amounted to moving my head and/or eyes around in different positions. It can be just a horrible thing to have. Yours is probably worse than mine if you have to "have therapy."
tried doing that a couple of times, still didn't help - sm
thanks for the suggestion. I guess the other thing I should mention is that it is not happening on my other laptop that I use for all hospital work, just my private laptop.
any other ideas as to what it could be??
Did it again a couple times and worked now!!! Thank U!!
so much!! :)
Let your fax machine answer a couple times.

Or how about just a circuit around the house a couple of times?
I worked graveyards at hotels for years. When it got really bad I'd get up and walk around the lobby, or get the security guard to watch the front desk for me so I could walk around the hotel. Or do jumping jacks, or do something like an 8 minute Billy Blanks video. Just something to get your blood moving again. I have an elliptical machine that I'll get on for a minute or two or three in the middle of a shift just to get my blood going and to get some circulation to my hind end.
The other alternative is how about actually taking a 10 minute power nap? Do you take a lunch or dinner break in the middle of your shift? Get a little alarm clock you can set and put by your desk and just close your eyes for 10 minutes.
I had a brutal schedule for a number of years where I worked 8 am to 5 pm at one job, went home and took a nap then went to the hotel at 10:30 pm to 7:30 am, went right back to the other job until noon. Then went home and passed out (hopefully) to go back to work at the hotel that night at 10:30. On that first night, I'd sit in my chair around 3 am when it was the quietest and my work was done and just take a nap. I'm really good at sleeping sitting up. The security guard knew not to bug me between 3 and about 3:45. I found that if I got a 30 minute nap then I was good to go for another several hours.
Good luck. Hope you find a solution that works for you.
Task bar. I do this by accident a couple of times a year
and I fix it, but can't figure out what I've done to fix it.
I have my task bar at the bottom of my screen usually, but now it is on the far right and I can't figure out how to get it back on the bottom. I know you normally click and drag, but I can't get it do down, just side to side. I even push the down arrow but that doesn't seem to do it either.
Sorry, don't have time. Gotta go run around the house a couple of times. nm

A couple of times a year the suits post as
an MT. I used to work for SS and they were so bad that I can't imagine them fixing all the problems in my lifetime.
ask if there is a charge for local calls. I have had this happen a couple of times. I take an egg

I power nap for 20-25 minutes a couple times a week - just depends
others I don't. But 2-2:30 is usually my time to have no energy, so it is nap time -- I find when I do this I can stay up later and work, on days I don't I have to go to bed by 10 or 11.
A friend of mine works there and....
She really loves it! She has been there since August. Her pay has been really great. I am hoping I will get a chance there as well.
Good Luck to you 
An MT friend does. She's an employee, works 6-10 and 2-6. nm

I agree. I have a friend who works for Futurenet. SM
They only direct deposit certain people, no rhyme or reason for it. She has her check overnighted every pay day, which costs her $50.00 a month. It was supposed to have been delivered 12/23, but it got hung up in one of the terminals. She won't get it until tomorrow, 12/27, not in time for Christmas. It's just really bad business. I would never work for a company that did not offer DD.
Scary .. best friend works in surgery .. happens more often than we want to know. nm

I have 2 middle age couple friends. One couple became pregnant from condom failure.
This is not just "irresponsible" behavior! Both couples are "fixed" now, because for them, reliable birth control was NOT. But it's an error to assume this stuff happens to people who are unmarried or irresponsible. Both these couples are raising 2nd families, now, but it wasn't "irresponsibility" that did them in!
MQ Monrovia
Been told they do pay for spaces but nothing in writing.
TC quit Monrovia
Wow, I had no idea those people were gone. I avoid all office contact because my TC is the dreaded Yerica. email me if you have time. ssc.
MQ Monrovia - Has anyone heard about
Has anyone heard anything about the new pay plan? Nothing has ever been said to me about tier pay or what "level" I am. Has anyone else from Monrovia been given any information on this?
I work for Monrovia also and (sm)
have been told that if I didn't meet production, I would be changed to statutory. Unless, of course, I had a reason, i.e.; off work, sick, equipment problems, etc. It has never happened, but they have threatened...
How is Monrovia to work for?
I'm signing on with them this week, and wondering how you like this office. This is my second go-around with MQ and I'm hoping against all odds that this will be a decent office and account. I do multi and ops. Have to do the whole training gig this week, but should be up and going by Monday.
Genetics in Monrovia?
I was on the MT Chat board a few days ago and someone said that MK Monrovia was looking for a Transcriptionist who did genetics reports for Cedars-Sinai, is that person on this site and could you tell me more? I plan to leave Medquist shortly, but love Cedars, most of their dictators are really good and I really like doing their genetics stuff, even the dictators with accents try hard. I think MQ must only have two or three MTs who do genetics because they begged me really hard, it is a very difficult specialty. Hope you can give me an answer! Thanks. 
How about your husband tells the friend to tell his female friend to lose the #?

Does MQ in Monrovia pay for spaces - do you have this ans in writing?

Yerrica in Monrovia is the worst! nm
Rude and just plain mean, mean, mean.
I too am from Monrovia and have yet to hear any details!
Please share if anyone finds anything out! 
I'm out of Monrovia too and the only place I've heard about it is here.
I don't know if this is company wide or local office changes. Guess we'll all find out when the time comes. Until then, I'm not going to worry about it.

A friend of a friend is taking CareerStep - sm
she is under the misguided idea that she will be making very good $ upon completing the course (a friend of hers supposedly makes $55K a year). I told her no way, at least not starting out and not unless all the factors click together, i.e. good typing speed, good pay (not for a newbie), good dictators (unlikely) and dedication to working hard. I told her what I make after 5 years (16K) but that is PT and I have the potential to double that if I would push myself, not procrastinate so much (I web surf way too much) and work more than I already do. I am not a fast typist but am good at what I do. I will be surprised if she follows though. She told me she'd call me when she finished the course, I just hope she is ready for reality.
Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

i take a couple but i too wonder if it's
the mind over matter thing working. i take flax oil capsules for my skin and i can definitely tell a difference if i stop taking it. grape seed plus (antioxidant), i can't tell one way or the other if it works. my neurosurgeon suggested glucosamine for the aches of joint surgery and the grape seed extract because he thought it was pretty good. i stopped the glucosamine because after 2 months i didn't feel any different.
i have been buying the least expensive or whatever is on sale so that might have a lot to do with the results. i would love to find a great energy source!!!
I use a couple..
I have two of the Olay Regenerist products. I like them. I especially like the thermal skin polisher, calls itself a "mini-peel treatment".
Also I have a couple of ESL
who spell things wrong all the time so I can't usually go by them spelling something. After they spell it and it come up when I do the spell check, I always end up having to look up the work anyway.
Yes, I do have a couple of ...
... jobs in mind and plan to put in applications for them tomorrow. I'm single and I have been out of work in the last 2 years for 9-10 months; also have gone through my meager savings--that's gone. I do want to work. But as I've worked for several companies in the past (other than MT) and paid taxes for over 30 years, I feel I've earned some unemployment compensation. Thanks for your input--
There are a couple out there.
I can't remember the name of the company but one of the owners was Tari. I think they were getting eScription work from Focus but weren't actually Focus.
here's a couple

No, there are a couple.

Just a couple
For one thing, with the ESL dictators, as you may have guessed the more you type the better you get. When you're new, and especially when your testing and not under production pressure, you might be better off listening to it all the way through once or twice. The cadence and the way sentences are formed, and their syllable accents, etc. will become more clear, especially as you hear them in phrases that you can catch. Then it will be easier to go through and say things like, "Oh, yeah, this guy's E's sound like A's and he says GULLBLUTTER instead of GALLBLADDER.
It gets easier in time, to the point where now I can type with a Hindi accent without thinking about it(and even learned a few cuss words to toss at the doc at appropriate intervals). Most of the companies that I have tested for have maybe had 1 out of 4 or 5 test dictations that were ESL. I would assume that if you did swimmingly on the English speakers and even just fair on the ESL, they would give you a chance, but then again I'm just a worker bee and not very corporate at all!

Question to a long timer. I have been transcribing for 15 years. I have been with one hospital for 10 years. I recently added a part time national using the same equipment and same format as my original account. For my original account I average 15-20 minutes an hour. After a month with second account, I am still only at about 8 minutes an hour. They do have a lot of ESL but so does my primary account (just not as bad, even when I first started them). I'm suppose to do a certain amount of minutes for this secondary acount, thinking I could do it in 2-3 hours a day, but I just can't reach my goal and I just do not have the time to work any more hours. Any advice?
