Guess you'll have to come to my house for pizza!

In Reply to: Thank you! This is weird about the food. sm - undecided
Just finished canning 30 pints of pizza sauce from my homegrown tomatoes, peppers, basil, garlic, oregano and husband grows the onions. Husband and his brothers own a large crop farm so can and freeze lots of veggies. Also made salsa last week. Almost always make my own pizza anymore because of the artificial color problem. Haven't quite perfected it though (that pizzeria taste) but have got the crust almost "right". Would be happy to share my recipe for dough. Also sincere the in the shoulder if you need one- would be willing to share email address to correspond.
Ezcema is such a bummer!! I have several nephews (husbands side of the family) with it. Was worse for them when they were younger and has definitely gotten better now that they are older teens now. Food allergies did seem to be a culprit for them. Can you believe that when my daughter was totally covered all summer with hives that I went to my mother in law and asked her if anyone in the family had any allergies that she knew of because I was totally at a loss, immediately she said no without a thought. (Couldn't be anyone in "her family"). Then after I almost killed my daughter with Amoxicillian (strep throat), Gatorade, cough syrup (cold/cough), Benadryl (hives) and Advil (fever) (all of which have red dye which she is most allergic to) and her face and throat swelled up the mother in law suddenly remembered her sister stops breathing if she has artifical food colors. Golly gee thanks for your help. Her sister has food allergies and so do the nephews thanks for thinking of your granddaughter.

I guess the bottom line is any one of us would go back to in-house... SM
given the chance. I re-read my previous post to you and I sounded like a b*tch and I wanted to apologize. You sound like a very positive person who takes criticism and not so pleasant advice very diplomatically.
If your problems with your boss are more of a personal nature, rather than the quality or quantity of your work, I would maybe go over her head. You already have an adversarial relationship with her anyway, so why not get it on record that you feel she is treating you unfairly? Or maybe confront her yourself? I would probably do the latter. I'm not someone that can bite my tongue which probably explains why I work by myself at a computer all day rather than in customer service! 
Just an FYI, I actually am starting an in-house MT job at a hospital tomorrow! I've decided that if they try to lay me off in favor of outsourcing, I'm just going to refuse. I'm going say "nope, I'm sorry, I refuse to be laid off. I'm going to get back to work now." I wonder what they would do? 
well, I guess I envy ya'll! sm
I think I envy ya'll, anyways. For me, working that much just is not possible. Of course, I do have three kids at home, plus a husband. So, I don't know. I'd rather spend time with them than work all the time. But, I'm not knocking ya'll. I say if you can do it, go for it! Maybe one day I'll be able to work that much and make the BIG bucks.  My hat's off to ya!
Thank you! Guess I'll have to go back...
and try again!
I guess you'll have to wait for the TV version then

Well, I guess I'll take my pay rate as a compliment then.
I graduated top of my class, and no, I didn't go to one of the "Big 3". I was actually hired 1 month before I graduated. I had 5 different job offers from various nationals and I chose one. I do not think 8 cpl is high at all. In fact, when I was doing my research on companies before I graduated, that seemed to be the going rate whether you had experience or not. I consistently type 1200+ lines a day and my QA score is 99%. I feel that 8 cpl is an appropriate rate for a newbie MT, especially when you consider that a lot of companies want to pay that for years of experience. If I only transcribed 1000 lines a day (8 hours), 5 days a week at 8 cpl, that would average out to $10.00 an hour. That is not a lot. I'm a single mom and frankly couldn't work for a company that offered less than 8 cpl.
I guess ya'll missed the point, but not surprising
I asked for opinions only of people who had SEEN the movie, oh well. I saw it and found it very sad, sad that people are condemned for who they love!!!
Guess they'll be in with food poisoning next time
since they ate that gangrene...bwahahahahaha
I do. I guess I'll wait a few mintues before disconnecting from the VPN
after I close out EXText. I guess I'm just in too big of a hurry to shut down when my shift is over! 
okay, so far I want to eat dinner at your house. I'll bring hard ice cream for cobbler.nm

I guess we'll stay home and eat Ramen. Hadn't though about food going up too.

Thanks ... guess I'll have to check it out some time ... like I need to find more ways to goof of

PIZZA, it's the usual.

We got pizza delivered.
Church group tonight.
I usually give $2 to the pizza man
and $2 to 3 to the hairstylist. Depends on if they cut straight or not!!!
$2 for pizza, $15-20 for cut & highlights.

pizza and denzel washington
pizza gives you different food categories and you can "doctor" pizza for variety by adding pineapples or other things you could find on the island. denzel is a manly man, charming, funny and intelligent.  if drink is added cold beer (corona with lime) would go great with my pizza.
frozen pizza and Perrier

Go out almost never, but do Chinese and pizza twice a week. nm

Mmmmmmmmmmmm..cold pizza
Ha! We did pizza last night..so, it's leftovers.

2 bucks for pizza...usually $5 for hair cut...nm
It is FRIDAY - Pizza night! nm

Leftover delivery pizza from last night, heated in sm
microwave. Sausage, mushroom, fresh tomatoes. Such a good place I found locally. Can't resist them.
Wood-fired brick oven pizza. nm

Pizza or grilled cheese...church tonight for me.
too!
$2 pizza, not do hairstylist as family does; but what about those Sonic car hopers? sm
i usually don't with sonic as they make minimum wage but have heard of some that do so i "occasionally" do depending if close to payday or not, lol, but those girls are getting snoody when you don't.
$5 for the pizza guy and $10 for a haircut and a pedicure. If nails too, tip more. Highlights, tip m
tip at least $10 when I eat out. I tell you one thing though, my pizza place always gets exactly what I order to me. If they didn't, I wouldn't tip as good. If I didn't get good service somewhere though, I would go some place else.
Day Labor/ Temp Agencies/pizza delivery
You only asked for meal advice.. I just wanted to tell you about these places in case you didn't know. Every city usually has several "day labor" companies. Your dh would have to arrive around 5-6 am, they would take him to a site all day. They usually pay the same day. He would need is license and ss card.
Most temp agencies have jobs immediately available too.
Another idea is to deliver pizza at night. He could still do real estate during the day. He would get cash right away. They pay for gas mileage, at least minimum wage, he would get tips, and PIZZA! :-)
Hubbie's birthday...pizza, salad, but the most important thing
cheesecake and banana split dessert for his birthday..... Am looking forward to it! Yuummmm!!
Maybe 1-2 x a month(with kids), and usually order out on Friday's - Pizza or Chinese -

On Survivor, they eat rice or corn for days or weeks. They win a reward and eat pizza, greasy

When I broke my ankle, I was just grateful it wasn't the hands. Without our hands we'd be totally screwed.
I broke my right ankle slipping on ice and was lucky to have gloves on because the palm of the glove was totally torn up and my hand was okay.
Good luck and be sure to do your exercises when it is time.
It'll happen. You'll find your fit.
You might have to kiss a few frogs first, though.

I have two IC contracts right now. I recently went back to a job I had quit earlier in the year to work for the other company I am still working for.
The newer job has 80% ESLs. I transcribe OP notes primarily and I can fill in other work types as the opportunity arises. I am frustrated with this particular situation. After 6 months, I am making less money and working longer hours. I am past the learning curve and I should be doing better, at least in the number of hours I am spending doing the job. We have run out of work for 24 hrs at a time at least 5 or 6 times since December 1, and in November it was more than that. I have a friend who worked for this company as well and she was having similar difficulties. The only thing that we can figure is that they are shorting us line count some way, because after 6 months at it, it should be easier/faster/more money, but it is less and less every single pay period. It is not a nice thing to accuse a company of doing, but it SEEMS that way to us. I am fed up with being expected to type every single OP note that comes in 24/7 and meeting the 6 hr TAT for them on weekends, evenings, holidays, wee hours of the morning...
I took back a job I held for 2-1/2 yrs. The team leader has changed and this gal thinks that I should be on call 24/7 for whenever she has work. I might have some at 7 a.m., or perhaps not until 6 p.m. or later. I can't plan my personal life and between these two IC situations, I find that I am not eating on a daily basis, not showering on a daily basis and not sleeping more than 3 or 4 hours at a time. I have lost weight and I don't feel very well. I woke up today with a rip roaring head cold (my first in nearly 8 yrs) and it has already moved to bronchitis and I am expecting pneumonia by the weekend because I develop it very easily. I already have deep pain in my back.
Yes, I should call in sick tomorrow, but I really can't take the fallout. The job I took back I am covering for another gal who wanted vacation over the holidays and if I have to call in sick, the team leader will call me and pitch a fit about how this is my responsibility. It IS my responsibility, I did say I would do it, and I will do it, despite being quite ill. In the past, when I worked for this company, they would not allow me to call in sick for a "cold" without a doctor's note. I worked through many illnesses with them and only called in sick when I developed West Nile Fever and while I was sick for over a month, I only called for my last 12 reports one day when I could no longer see the computer screen because my head hurt.
The problem is that yes, many MTs lack work ethic. They don't take their responsibility seriously. This is not a work as you please career, not even for an IC. I can see the MTSO's point of view, I truly can. Like finding experienced, reliable and capable MTs, for the MTs who are these things, finding a company will treat you like a human being is equally difficult. I sit here, feeling lousy and like I am an utter slave labor with no consideration whatsoever. I know that my work needs to be done, but when I am this sick it is better that someone else do it for the sake of the work, for accuracy and for speed of getting it out. I know that I am needed, but to be the MT these companies need me to be, I also need to look after my own health.
I will also mention that when I have asked for vacation, I have been approved for the time, but the MTSO queues up my work and calls me then I am not on the system getting it done. I have told them I had been approved for time off, but the MTSO didn't schedule anyone to cover for me and I am told to get on work, vacation or no, if I want to keep my job.
Thus, I work 24/7/365 and have for years. I work sick, I work when I am in pain (I have an AI disorder), I work exhausted from staying up all night covering for others who are allowed to call in sick and have vacations when I can't have either. I work having no health insurance and not being able to afford the $125 a month to buy some with a high copay so I can see a doctor. I work without breaks for breakfast, lunch or dinner and I sometimes come close to having an accident because if I leave my desk to go to the little girls' room I get nasty calls about where I am at and what I am doing.
Many MTs are mistreated, and I am one of them.
If it's different for each report, my guess (only a guess)
would be no. I think the macro would work if it was the same each time, but not sure if it will if the documents are different each time.
Tell him you'll give him your macros if he'll give you his Lexus, his ski cabin, and (nm)
;p
Control. I'll still get OT though. And you'll
still sit and complain!
I'll join you on that one, I'll be 58

DQS in-house
I would think this is a dream come true. DQS can be used/bought by independent companies including hospitals and it doesn't necessarily mean that MQ is taking over the account or has anything to do with the MTs on staff at the hospital. Hopefully this is the case for the OP, because that is wonderful.
Also, regarding the demographic field, she is probably familiar with the little things of the hospital that sometimes MQ MTs struggle with, especially those of us with multiple accounts, like who dictates for whom, doctors who put in their wrong IDs, who gets copies and who doesn't, etc.
I hope MQ doesn't mess with the account too, because she, IMO, has the perfect set-up because DQS is really a pretty decent program and to be able to work on ONE account, in-house, would be my dream come true, anyhow! :-)
Oh, but maybe she should be warned that DQS is a speech recognition platform...
in-house
they are sending the supervisors or "workflow coordinators" (as they are referred to now) to work at home also. Those of us who cannot achieve the line quota are "offenders." I feel like I work for the devil himself. Not a good feeling :(
I do, my house is about as big as (sm)
a bachelor apartment. It benefits me in the long run.
Get out of the house once in a while.
I get depressed, too, but I've got kids, animals, and everything else running around underfoot making messes. Do you have any friends or family you can get together with for coffee? What about puttering around a bookstore for a while?
Is this your first house?
If so plenty of programs available through Fannie Mae or FHA for first home buyers. If not look for a "rent-to-own" deal, usually sold by investors. You pay an "option" of usually about 5K to rent out the house for a year while you work on qualifying for a mortgage. Then a percentage of your rent each month is put towards your downpayment. The house is yours, and after a year if you qualify you have your home. Great program for those who have some bucks but not many of us can afford 20% on anything!!! Good luck.
Yes, but who does them in-house?
