Here's the dealio... MTs are expected to be able to hit the ground running.

We work from home. There is no training curve. That's just the way it is in the MT industry. If you want to work from home, you have to know what you're doing. If it takes you longer than three days to get off full QA, then you belong in an office somewhere getting training from a mentor who has the time and money to train you. Working from home is all about the bottom line -- the MTs and the MTSOs. This is career field you've chosen, so get with the program. Sharpen your skills and quit expecting someone to hold your hand.

Fed-ex ground
Get you a load of bubble wrap and wrap it good and then call Fed-ex. They will come to most places and pick it up. Be sure you insure it.
I stand my ground. sm
There are too many other jobs out there to stay you are stuck in this one. I do dare to say this because I know this.
Think about it. Would you stay in a "crappy" marriage because there are no other guys out there? Gimme a break.
But, hey, if I'm over the line (as you said), that's cool. Not like I've never been there before.
I will say this, however. I like my job. Not LOVE, but like. That's the reason I do it. If I did not, I'd get out. Period.
just had a big ground hog jump on....sm
my glass storm door, at my front door. Just happened to see it happen, and scared me to death. They are such big ugly, rat on steroid looking creatures! Now, I've convinced myself that it's rabid and going to get me if I step outside. News last night said they had 4 dogs found with rabies in a city about 15-20 miles from us, so...?? I just think it is so strange that it jumped on my door. Yuck!
Solid ground for me!
I hope the Admin. does let me know what they need. Like I said before, I just need to know what all they need. I have it.
My feet don't touch the ground so I
When I sit in my chair, my feet don't even touch the ground, because I need my chair height to be such that I am not looking up at the screen.
I have big platform sandals that I use. They are great. One on each foot. You can move your feet around, but they are nice and high from the ground, like a movable foot stool.
relocate to higher ground! New New Orleans! :) (NM)

Cold, 28 degrees, a little snow on the ground, overcast.
Boring winter day. Not enough snow to do anything fun, just enough to make us all miserable.
Think it should be expected
I was a cryptologic linguist when I was in the Air Force. My job involved wearing headphones all day long. They tested our hearing before we started the career field and every year after because the wanted to monitor how much hearing we lost above and beyond the normal age-related stuff. Had an interesting talk with the audiologist about this. Wonder how many former MTs are getting disability for hearing loss?
But isn't that to be expected anyway?
summer because all we use gas for is to heat hot water and to cook on the stovetop. As soon as we turn on the furnace, of course it is going to increase a lot, even in normal years when the price of gas is not as high.
Same with electricity. It's a stable amount most of the time but once we turn on the air conditioner, it jumps dramatically.
Yep, we would be expected to
learn their language if we were doctors practicing over there. They should do the same here. Truth and racism are two different things :)
I need a ground line if cable goes out so does your phone and if you contact MCI they will give you
with long distance costing 07. cents a minute if you have to. Just use your long distance after 9 pm using ur cell which is free and on weekends. This MCI plan is 26. & taxes about 28. a month. This way MCI gives u the ability to call long distance during the week if you absolutely have to but for .07 cents a minute. Better to have a phone than no phone. Just a thought!
It is pretty much expected that you will do all that comes to you -
It is often the nature of the beast when you are in a pool. I had thousands of docs at the last place I worked, 4 hospitals all with very different account specifics, and did every work type under the sun for acute care. I found myself scrambling every day to get my lines in and frustrated beyond belief many days. After 2 years of that (and a few other issues with the company) I decided to move on.
What was the expected pay rate?
p
Actually, I never expected an answer--
I was sending him my opinion, expressing my anger concerning the jobs leaving in droves to India and other countries.
I can't imagine the number of letters he receives in one hour let alone one day. So, I realize I would never be answered.
I just was stating my frustration and anger with a situation.
As I said in my other post, I did call and I talked to one of the phone bank people or whoever answers the phones at the White House. She was very nice and talked with me a while. She told me he does get briefed on his mail and phone calls, he wants the good and the bad, he wants to hear how things are directly affecting us individually. So I let him have it. I just wanted to add my name to the list of people calling concerning offshoring. She told me many people from IBM who were just laid-off were calling in droves about the offshoring. So, maybe many voices might at least make some kind of noise. Even if he doesn't listen or doesn't care, it felt good to get the frustration out, knowing I was talking to the actual White House.
My son keeps watching out the window now for the FBI to take me away because I always call and write to Washington.
The handling of Katrina was a shameful disaster -- my heart goes out to anyone who went through that, and is still suffering because of it. There was no excuse for that as far as I was concerned.
I did send many emails and called about that, too, Again, just wanted to voice my opinion.
Wondering if VR not working as expected?
Our company has told us the company we use for VR wants to help us to edit faster, supposedly helping us to use the keys instead of the mouth. Now this seems sorta odd to me. I am wondering if the VR is not as satisfactory as was thought and perhaps the MTs are not really able to get reports out as fast as was thought and not eliminating the need for the MTs? Any thoughts on this?

Saw it. I expected Randall to be the person I though he was... He wasn't!! He is out for himself
Rebecca on the other hand was the classiest woman they have ever had on the Apprentice! By far she out spoke Randall and more importantly she said nothing negative truly about him. Agree, lost all respect for Randall. Though I seriously think Rebecca will be hired by somone probably today she has offers pouring in; seriously for her brain and her gorgeous looks are just a plus!! A Rebecca FAN!!
On the contrary, Christians ARE expected by God to judge sin. sm
There are numerous versus to back this up. There is a verse that says if we as Christians observe a fellow Christian falling into sin, we are to go to that person (in love, not condemnation) and try and guide them back onto the right path away from destruction. How are we to follow God's laws if we do not judge right and wrong? That verse has been taken so far out of context.
WHAT WE ARE NOT TO JUDGE is another person's relationship with God or whether that person has obtained salvation or is saved.
WE ARE EXPECTED TO JUDGE SIN. I'll be happy to dig up the verses for anyone who would like to see them.

BTDT. They expected a heck of a lot from the MT for that kind of pay
All the emails, all the demands, all the changes, ugh. For all they expect and demand, the pay is way too little, not to mention the fact that they need MTs who do SPECIALTY work (cardiology) and should pay the MT a higher cpl than they do currently for that reason alone.
About how many lines are expected to be typed each day, minimum, on average? NM
As an educated & experience MT, we're expected to correct what's
s
Never said that typos were acceptable, what I said was is 100% accuracy expected 100% of the time.
Yes, I used to work in a docs office doing this as well as other things and but never had this problem.That is why I am frustrated. My question was whether or not there was a curve for MT'ing or not. I guess I just was not clear on exactly what editors/QA were really meant for. I thought they were more of a saftey net for a TX company to ensure that everythign that goes out is what it should be. But I guess I was mistaken.
Anyway, I was thinking that maybe there was something else similar in this field that would be an option for me to do. Since I actually like this line of work, I don't see why I should give up so easily.
Lastly, its just me, but I actually think staying at home with my kids is a perfect reason to do this for a living. I mean seeing as though I actually do want to earn a honest living doing something that I have experience doing ...why not? It's better than relying the government for money to support my family isn't it?

You're expected quota depends on whether you are paid hourly or per line. SM
I'm paid hourly and I was told the requirement was 50 or more reports per day. I've never worked QA per line, but I'm sure their line quota is pretty high, at least 2000 or better per day, as you get credit for every line in every report you QA.
Hope this was the answer you were looking for.
I figured she was cheap when she acted interested until I told her what I expected to be paid.
All I could think of was "how cheap can you get" I mean I have 3 years on the very platform she needed help with but when I mentioned a decent rate I never heard a word back. Thanks goodness for small miracles.

everything is running well except for DQS which is still lagging today..
Running
Running and cardio in general is really awesome, but make sure you are doing some weight training. You will have faster results and not so flabby when that fat starts coming off. Cardio will burn calories when exercising, but weight training will help burn 24 hours. Burn the butter baby!!!
He might not know about running a
top notch company, but he knows about being a good lover. That's for sure.
They must be running more than 1 ad.
I saw the first one and now it's got the airplane.
What happens when the do get th EMR up and running
Then you won't have that account. Sounds like they needs something fast and temporary. Stick to your current rate.
I can see what is running, but how do you them off?
Thanks
Is DQS up and running now? nm
//
now we see who's running this
You're right. You're best bet is to wait until payday to quit. These people are nasty. Do you think she thinks she can take advantage of you because you're foreign (your words, not mine)? You obviously aren't that foreign (my words this time) or you wouldn't be able to get the job done correctly. $10 an hour is not enough for the crap you're putting up with, and you could be doing way better. IC is supposed to be where the money's at because you don't get benefits. I say drop and find something better!
Running on MT
First of all, I love your little avatar! Second, thank you so much for the weblink. It is greatly appreciated.
It just keeps running...
but nothing on the screen...The Geek Squad said it was the internal modem that you would use for dial-up and they removed that and it started fine...now it is back to the same thing...I am thinking it is the video card as well...I am taking it back to them since I literally just got it back a few days ago...
All boards are up and running.

I agree with the others about maybe running an ad in the
newspaper to see about doing private housekeeping instead of hotel housekeeping. It pays more and there's less yuck factor. Also, what about selling on ebay or Half.com? I supplemented my MT income for a while selling stuff from around the house. After that, I went to yard sales and bought books and collectibles to resell. I did OK, but it got to the point where I had to do one or the other due to time constraints. MT won out because I don't have to package anything or drive to the post office.
and they are running out of work
I have been switched accounts 3 times now, because mine keep running dry. Promises, promises.
yes, and running water too.

Hey! Me Too. Hospital is running over! nm

running a fan helps too
It drowns out the rest of the noises while everyone else is up and about.
I think they have had one running since 1996!
