i think it is incredibly gross. personal hygiene commercials are just gross anyway.
this one is stupid and gross.
The Stones
 Absolutely! Old or not, they still have what it takes in my opinion! I can if you can still sell out a concert, go for it!
Stones
Probably still jumping around because he is still full of drugs from the early days.
I'm sorry, but that guy it just plain homely. Not all that talented in my opinion, but music is a personal taste and lots of people like the Stones.
The Stones. sm
The stones are and forever will be legends. The little girls on here are too busy buying Jessica Simpson and Brittany music.
Stones
I will love the Stones forever.
rolling stones still have it
I saw them on their Steele Wheels tour. They were ossum, absolutely worth every penny. Fantastic performance!!!
Stones who's next Aretha? sm
You generation X people just don't get it. The Stones were essential in elevating music, what ever you like as it is today; we were there and we fought for it and beatles and stones were with us. I guess you did not like the Queen of Soul either, to fat, what? She was the FIRST woman ever inducted into the Rock and Roll Music Hall of fame. You young people are so obsessed with looks. I guarantee you looks will fade and that includes yours. It starts at 35. Even though you think you will never age, you reach your peak at 30 and then at 35 you start dying if you are narrow minded.
Stones? GRAVEL!
Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do something. Thought they looked bad and sounded even worse. Needed grease for their slow swiveling joints and voices were so bad that if Simon were to have heard them for the first time he would have said that they sounded like his Uncle Herman. Just goes to show you that a lot of money makes for an Emperor's clothes kind of mentality in terms of displaying something that should not be displayed. Anybody agree with me????
Throwing stones...
I would like to point out that you are asking people to delineate their experience on their resume, and that is not the function of a resume. Recent experience and future objectives should be discussed in a cover letter. A resume is more or less a reference guide of your work experience. Your deciphering of one should come with your experience in hiring MTs; what companies they have worked for and what educational programs they have attended should illuminate to you what they've done in the past.
1. If a company runs an ad looking for MTs and puts "competitive line rate" for compensation, or only asks for 2 years experience for acute Basic-4, expect a resume from everyone who graduated from XYZ "Typier" School in Whittier, Wisconsin. It's obvious you don't know what you want.
2. If you set an MT up for testing, expecting them to follow abbreviated, slapped-together instructions by e-mail without a telephone alert it was on its way, don't expect the test back in 20 minutes. Legitimately timed testing is NOT done this way.
3. For those of you who use online tests from third parties, I encourage you to go and take your own test. It will be very educational at the very least with regard to what you are spending your money for, which is not much.
4. Still on the subject of testing: Give legitimate examples of the work the MT is going to be expected to do, and not the "cherries." If you have 50% or more ESL, you might want to pick out some of your more difficult dictators to provide as examples of what your company has to offer in terms of work being done for a production-based pay scale.
5. Be prepared to answer questions about how you count your lines, and know that any MT worth their salt is going to want to compare your line count of their test with what the MT can count on their own.
6. Don't tell people to expect a call from you, not call and then call, expecting them to drop everything to accommodate you. They are looking for work, not begging for scraps.
7. Finally (for now), do not do a "bait and switch." If someone applies with you because you offered a particular specialty, or work type, a line rate "based on experience," a definite schedule, etc., and you decide later that's not the case...shame on you.
Anyone seeing the Rolling Stones on tour?
I've always wanted to see 'em in concert - can't believe they are all in their 60s....but Mick Jagger still knows how to shake it!
Mick and the Stones are forever, wrinkly or not! :) nm
s
Oh my gosh. Went to Rolling Stones about 8 years ago (I'm 55 and as straight as they come). SM
We jumped up and down and hollered and smoked pot and just went crazy. It was so much fun!
My original post was about the Stones and I did not name call!!!! Give it up! nm

incident involved Rolling Stones concert...NM

The Rolling Stones? You mean The Strolling Bones? Mick wasn't hot b4 and still isn't! But hey,
big lips and pretzels for legs then hey, more power to ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A gross line IS a gross line regardless if it's 90 characters long or 1 character long... SM
I'm very sorry that your lines are 90 characters line and you get paid by gross lines. You are cheating yourself - that's not my fault. You cannot change the definition of a gross line. So I gues I'm not understanding what you are trying to say. Now if you are trying to say that your line equals 90 characters and that's how you figure your lines, than you are not using gross lines. You have defined a line to be 90 characters, whereas most MTSOs define a line as 65 characters. If that is the case, then I must say again, you are cheating yourself.
So which is it, do you get paid by gross lines or by a 90 character line?
65-gross line vs.65-gross character line
Can someone explain the difference between these two? I am assuming that the gross line is better than the gross character line. How much better is being paid by the gross character line than just by the standard 65-character line? Does anyone know how much difference it would make in dollars and cents?
Thanks.
How do you know she is gross?
Do you personally know her? I dont' think so. Everybody has skeletons in their closet, hers are just magnified because she is in the public eye. Don't judge people you don't even know.
What was gross?
Perhaps you happened to look in a mirror instead.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

She is gross, but
I do like her Sierra Mist commercial

Gross lines are anything on a line counted as a line, even if it is only a couple characters. I think 9 c/gross line is usually equal to about 12-13/65 cpl.
Gross!

that is so gross!
who would even come up with such a strange combination??
Gross pay - nm

I'd go with gross.
You'll spend more time doing the math unless you use a line counting program. JMO. Stick with the 12 cpl and don't short yourself. You may have some horrible dictators as well unless you already know how they dictate. The 12 cpl gross will make for that.
that's gross!
I had one of those once and what was also nasty was that he passed gas...a long trail...while urinating. He too stopped to talk to people. Maybe this is why doctor's are taught to wash their hands before each patient.
gross vs 65
Gross much better - anything typed on a line.
Gross or 65 cpl
I charge 12 to 12.5 gross lines but I pick up and deliver, print, etc.
this might be gross but...
i like to do a Google image search for many of the diseases from dictations i do. i find all of this terribly fascinating and it's kind of cool to be able to not only tell somebody what a particular condition is should they ask, but to be able to describe it to them in a visual sense as well.
i also enjoy working with my medical terminology flashcards when i have any downtime. sometimes my pool would be empty (especially toward the end of the month when all the people who slacked off during the first three weeks were scrambling to get their lines in) so i'd take advantage of that extra time to pay a bill online or throw some laundry in.
Per Gross Line Pay?
Being relatively new to MT, I'm not quite sure what being paid by the gross line is as opposed to being paid by a 65 character line. Can someone clear me up on this. Thanks much.
gross line
I am paid by the gross line whether one word is on it or 10 or 12, the same amount.
If you are paid by 65 character line, you take the characters and divide by 65 or use Sylcount whereas you are can then paid for each keystroke, i.e. capitalization, underline is two characters, etc. YOu have to define what a line is or what a character is.
gross line
Thanks Patti!!
No....only if you are doing gross lines- nm

gross commercials lol
This actually was a comedy routine about them, remember Balki anyone? Forgot the show but he was here in the US living with his cousin?
He did a comedy stint about his first nice, sit down dinner in America. He was having his boss & family over and wanted to do it just right, so he went to the grocery.
"Can you believe what you can find in America, they already sanitize your napkins, so all you have to do is put silverware on them and your table is set"..But he was having trouble with the spoon rolling off the "Sanitary Napkins". OMG thought I'd lose it. Then he added the gourmet jelly...KY jelly "it is what the state of Kentucky is famous for so it must be good"..that was a good but gross stint.
gross line
6 is a good gross line rate when you figure it is equal to at least 8.5 if it were counted at 65 characters, most companies don't want to pay more than 7-8
gross lines
One can do far better in a day when counting gross lines rather than character counted -- especially if very familiar with the accounts (of course, that helps either way :).
11 cpl gross equals what on a 65?
nm
is it scary though? or just gross?

Sorry, but gross generalization.
I am married to a very well-educated, white collar guy and he does everything for me that you described your blue collar guy does for you and more. While DH is clean and well-groomed, he is far from vain and not at all the stereotype you described. Also, I've seen blue collar men who are disgusting pigs who just want to drink beer and watch TV.
Conclusion: There are both blue and white collar princes and both blue and white collar toads, so please do not generalize. :-)
Gross line
What is a gross line and how is it figured? The contract states 6 cpl for 68 characters. Although, after just speaking with the company, every space, keystroke is counted. Still confused.

I do gross lines
I go into file, properties, statistics and that gives me my gross count. Very simple and easy as long as you are using Word, no program to buy. I am surprised that the company you are working for did not show this to you. Also gives you characters if you are paid for characters divided by whatever your line is and not gross lines.

Gross line
I do gross lines and if they want a smaller font, I change it back to Courier or Arial 12 and count that way. I have been lucky as just raised my rates 0.005 to 11.0 but have not raised in the past 4 years. I do do pick up and delivery as they are still on tapes and told them that with the gas I had to do it. They had no problem as I am still one of the lowest here in the Portland area. And, they have been with me from 6 to 18 years my accounts. But I still go on what I can do in an hour and since I have been doing these docs so long I can make anywhere from 30 to 50 dollars an hour and I think that is a fair rate for me. I still believe the only ones getting rich in this medical mess is the insurance companies and that was in the news this last week. Their big profits. Anyway go with gross line, I still quote it as 65 characters per line which it is but I count by gross and 12 font. Patti
Gross line
I bill for gross line which means each line counts whether there are 10 words or one word each line counts. So when I type in a smaller font, there are less lines than in Courier. I do not take the characters and divide by 65. Hope that makes sense. So the smaller font, the less lines. So when I contract with a client I tell them that my price per cpl it is a 65 character line in Courier font. If they chose to use Ariel 10, I will type in that for them but the line count is done in Courier or at least Ariel 10.
a GROSS error???????
come on. I do not think I would want to work for you!!!!!! **said jokingly**
To me a gross error is something that changes the meaning of something. You didn't get that the MT was from California when he/she put "Ca" instead of CA????? Sheesh......give 'em a break.
This is a style error not a GROSS ERROR. Maybe you should put this in your advertisement "Please use AAMT BOS guidelines when filling out application and submitting employment letter". ROFLOL!!!!!!
Seriously though, I think if the MT has a good resume and performs well on the exam that he/she should be given a chance. Be clear that you expect proper style guidelines utilized. If they still want to do things their way (from the 1950s, LOL) then put them in your delete box :-)
Just a thought.
Have a good day!

gross line
Hi, a gross line is a line that is counted if there is even only one character in it, as opposed to the usual line count of having to have 65 characters in it. so, for instance if you have a line that says *1.* and that is all, it is ocunted as a whole line.
sounded gross at first to me, but
This doesn't sound very appetizing to me, but I do love the McDonald's McGriddles. It's like having the bacon or sausage between your pancakes. So very good!
Gross line - What does this mean?
What is the difference between regular cents per line and gross line pay? For instance, if a company pays 8 cents per line, what would this be for gross line pay?? Thanks for any information.
