I finally stopped getting these disgusting e-mails. I e-mailed back with big red letters - "F.... you! This e-mail is forwarded to the FBI, Homeland Security, Interpol, and you are being traced as we speak." I never received another one again.

Junk e-mail
I get tons of junk e-mails, you know, the pass around type. I never read them. I don't have time and I have no reason to read them. I am trying to make a living! My sisters are the worst culprits! How can I get them to quit forwarding all their junk e-mails to me! One sister is always asking me "did you read the one about....." to which I respond, "No, I don't have time to read those things." She just never catches on. I don't want to be rude, but it's getting on my nerves! I know the simple answer would be to just aske them to quit but things are touchy between us and I don't want to antagonize and already less-than-perfect relationship with my sisters.
Thanks!
Did you check your junk mail or spam folder? Sometimes they in there
Only by the mounds of junk mail every day...cc apps, advertising circulars, etc. nm

I carry my mail in, sort it immediately, and put the junk in the trash.

it's not all junk on tv. you just have to weed out the junk. some is very informative.
don't watch "fake tv" as in mysteries or situation comedy so ruling that out, there is plenty of good stuff left. always wanting to learn new stuff.
yeah me too...junk, junk, more junk. But...(sm)
tech guy setup SpamBayes on my computer so that they go into a junk mail file automatically. Hope this helps...it sure helped me...don't have to see them and no danger in opening in them.
Junk faxes?? Do you know how much money you can collect from junk faxes??? It's sm
illegal and every offense is worth 100.00. I don't eveistory think you have to go to court. I'd look into it! I heard of a guy who made thousands off receiving junk faxes. I don't have a fax machine anymore..
No hoax
I have seen it twice on Fox news on t.v., the official one out of New York. They said they are getting bombarded with phone calls about the number being wrong for that guy.
This is a hoax
Go to Snopes.com.
If you think this is a hoax....
You are sadly mistaken. Do you really think Acusis would notify everyone at once??? They arent stupid. This would mean a lot of the MTs and editors would quit...and then who would work on the accounts that aren't allowed to be sent to India. Just be prepared...your call will come. Then come back and see who will get the last laugh....I can guarantee you...it's going to be Acusis.
Sorry to tell you but that's an internet hoax. sm
I was excited about it too and then found it was a hoax.
that's where I saw the hoax report, too

This is NOT true - it IS a hoax
Here's the link: http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/bogus_e_mail
Yep. That's exactly what I was trying to experess; it's a HOAX.

Didn't sound like a hoax to me
I called the 888 toll-free number and it WAS the National Do Not Call Registry. I do not find this to be a hoax! I will be asking all my friends and family to do this.
Thanks for the tip!
Got one too and knew it was a hoax because I have no Chase card.
When you don't have a card, you know it's a hoax.
Please check Snopes before posting. This is a hoax & has been out for a while now.

Request that they place a stop payment on the check, reissue, and mail priority or overnight mail
If they refuse or invent unbelievable excuses, you'll know you have a problem. If MY check was a week late, there are many months I would be in deep trouble.
I realize checks occasionally do get lost in the mail. If they are 100% sure it was mailed, then they shouldn't mind issuing another.
Be firm and be persistent.
My friend who works for them is having her mail go to her own account. She hates this new mail prog

In every company I have worked for that pays via mail, they mail the checks on payday. sm
Depending on the distance you can get them anywhere from 3-8 days later. Right now one takes 3 days, the other 3-5.

My mail carrier just informed me that the mail is sorted by
prisoners as part of their work. Now do you feel safer and more secure?
Block her E-mail, return mail unopened
On AOL I can determine who I want to receive mail from and block those I do not -- and if they are blocked they get their E-mail back as being "undeliverable". If she sends things out -- send back --unaccepted. But to be simple just E-mail her back or call the recuriter if you don't want to deal with her directly and state -- leave me alone. If she is in another state you should not be scared of her but you may simply have to put it out there in no uncertain terms.
Junk shows.
Sad commentary, but they try to please the majority of viewers. Glad to hear I'm not the only one offended.
Don't get a Shark---it's junk. sm
I had one for about 3 months then it quit sucking altogether. I was livid. I paid $100 for it. I'm hard on vacs, too, with 2 dogs and 4 men in and out of the house and living by a cement mill. The one I have now is a Eureka EZ Kleen. My next one will be an Oreck I think.
I've tried junk in the trunk before!
Now that is one delicous cake!!!! My husband just loves it. He refers to it as the "honey bun" cake! 
I had one too!! a 1979 piece of junk.
And if that wasn't bad enough it was chocolate brown.
My blinker knob fell off and I had to shove a pair of tweezers in there to work the blinkers. I couldn't wear heels or they'd get wedged in the holes in the floor board and one tire had a big bubble in it.
I can't believe I even dared drive that thing.
Was a piece of junk..but my favorite.
It was a 1980 Chevette (or as we called it..the Shove It) lol. When I got it, it was already falling apart, but I didn't care, I was 17 and had wheels. It had NO power steering, NO power brakes, NO air, NO power at all. The seat was falling through the bottom, so when you drove, your body was tilted to the left. The horn didn't BEEP, it MOOed (not kidding). The speakers were blown so my brother wired a speaker through the front and sat it in the console...lol. Like I said it was piece of junk but was a lot of fun to drive around and I could fill it up with about $8.00. A few years later when I was working I bought a Geo Storm and I loved that car. It was actually a very nice car..but nothing tops the "Shove It."
The only thing left IS junk ESL-sm
Seems to me that newbies are getting trained on VR with many companies. VR gets the better dictators. Offshore is getting the simple stuff and other half of the better dictators because that's all they can handle. Experienced MTs are left with a trunk of JUNK on their systems and getting paid no more than the new grads and offshore MTs, and very few are offering us more for our skills, accuracy and ability to transcribe the more difficult accounts.
I've seen things change pretty drastically just in the few years I've been doing this work. I cannot land a decent cpl for IC anymore. I was landing better offers as a new grad than I am today with experience, and forget about landing a gravy account if you have experience. Just isn't happening! Bottom of the barrel crap is all I get with a bottom of the barrel paycheck to go along with it.  You have to work till your eyes bleed, your head's about to explode and fingers ache to make a fairly decent living, then people wonder why we are sometimes short on patience and PO'd all the time. That's exactly why! May as well be gum on a filthy shoe!
Ugh - 42 minutes of that boring junk.
Do they really think anybody is going to read all of that? Didn't any English teacher ever tell him the secret to good writing is LESS IS MORE??
How lazy not to be able to shorten it up to something brief yet complete. Shame on him. You poor thing.
I have too much junk on my desk for a lamp LOL
i guess i need to make room!
check out the junk stores
like Salvation Army. I paid $40 for a few at Office Depot type store and then found a few for $1.99 at our alcoholism junk store. They are Dell and great, and when they wear out, don't feel bad about just trashing them.
How long do you think it will be until MQ throws everything on ASR even the junk to get the reduced
line rate. Should be interesting to see. I do think they are looking for a big exit also. There is no work in a lot of the offices especially Amherst and my understanding is the work will be delegated from a national office and not regional and they will put people on accounts that need work. Not sure what that means but maybe the days of having a main are coming to an end. Should be great for quality.
Aria Platform - anyone use this piece of junk?
We're transitioning to an EMR platform called Aria with a god-awful transcription section that is a step backward from the typewriter. It's largely mouse-dependent, slow (it's through their VPN so there's often a lag on the text) and it doesn't recognize a lot of the hot keys I've utilized in Word for years. It takes me half again as long to get through a report. I'm usually busy at least 8 hours a day as it is using Word with most of the people I type - it would take me 12 hours if everyone were on this system right now.
They've also changed to a "per dictated minute" rate of pay from 65 cpl w/spaces. It's a generous per-minute rate compared to most places I've worked, and they've stated they don't want anyone losing any money in the transition, but it would take a pretty steep increase in this rate to match what I was making previously.
I'm seriously considering changing jobs, although these guys have been wonderful to work with. Does anyone out there have any experience with this platform or any tips, websites, etc., that have information on utilizing this POS to its fullest? Hate to jump ship prematurely - I know what's out there and it ain't purty! 
Good advice...Iams is junk food anymore....
It used to be good, but it's gone by way of most of the rest of them... Anything that can be purchased in a grocery store is garbage. I recommend Wellness, Innova, or California Natural. Only pet stores stock premium dog foods. However, Labs and GAS seem to go hand in hand, having owned 2 of them. Rice and some boiled chicken mixed with a good healthy kibble might help.
Right away it looked to me like the kind of junk that spreads in email. Good eye. nm

The junk faxers aren't leaving correct info so you can track them down.

Escription users: I have a question. I've about had it with Dell junk computers.
and their Indian call centers..nothing like getting help from someone whom you cant understand. Even if they hear you, they have NO comprehension skills. Anyway, I have like 3 Dell computers which goes from bad to worse. For Christmas, I got my husband an Mac IBook ...wow..what a difference, now that's a computer. Anyhoo, they now have Microsoft office programs for Macs..anyone know if this computer would be compatible at all with the Escription platform since it's so picky. If not, any laptop computers suggestions that are not a piece of junk.
I'm getting e-mail and personal mail from MQ regarding changes
and lawsuits. What's up with MQ? Any speculation? My mail is general and not specific to my office. Think things are coming to a head with the lawsuits and MQ is trying to play nice?
Yep, when I drink green tea instead of eating junk foods, or if I drink it while I'm exercising,

MQ mail
I got it to work but it takes forever to get into your email box and send anything. I got into my box yesterday..slow..slow.slow..Today I got in and tried to send an email to my Transcription Coordinator and two times it would not go through, finally the third time it did..I dont know why they changed the system..maybe some techs needed something new to do so they made a new project to change the email system. If they dont fix it, it is a disaster..Hopefully today, the first day, will be just fixing the minor things and we will proceed from there..Its always something with this company ya know?? No work, but you better let them know your schedule, cant even get through on email..Grrrrrrrr..
MQ E-mail
I am just giving up. I get it and try to keep it open so I can check it but it won't stay opened. I am going to check it once a day. If they want me, they can phone.
E mail I mail
I wonder if we can just communicate with work people with our private E-mail instead of this system.
MQ I-Mail.
I can't get past the login screen. It says "Welcome!" then throws me back to the login screen. I see they have a message that says "You can still send messages to your contacts through your Outlook or Outlook Express." Wrong. Can't do that, either. Have been on hold to Atlanta for over 1/2 hour. Whose idea was this??
MQ Mail
Log in using your I-mail address and your password. I-mail address should be your MQ name (?)__@medquistmail.com. Password. You get into a screen that apologizes etc. Hit continue.
If you forgot anything there is a box that should allow you to retrieve password.
If all else fails, call tech support and they will walk you through it as I did the first time using it at 1-800-342-8283. They can help you specifically for I-mail problems.
I sent you an e-mail.....
and will be happy to answer additional questions. 
Please E-mail me...May be able to help.

Is E-mail down with the big "S" or is it just me?
