I missed it.
What happened? I wanted Janelle to win so bad.
I missed it!
who won?
I missed so much...
Goodness, I need to start watching it again. I have missed WAY to much. Thanks for the scoop!
must have missed it

I missed that!
I taped it though--I'll have to watch that. Elliott is so sweet.
must have missed it....sm
and yes, they do tend to come out on Fridays...given the opportunity. overworked and underpaid??....hmmm...I don't think so....just bad attitudes. JMO (even though I don't know what it was about). :^)
For all those who missed it.....
I found this website that should have the transcript soon.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/gb.html
I think you missed something -
the patient spoke English, the doctor did not and he could not understand the patient. Are we supposed to find an interpreter for our doctor appointments to speak the doctor's primary language?
Perhaps I missed something but...
Do we not just double space between paragraphs and anatomy headings? Why would she make more money if only getting paid per character? Maybe I'm misreading.
I think you missed it by about
20 years or more. The pay was great in the past but steadily has dropped. I have typed on electronic records for at least 5+ years and nothing has changed, at least pay except going down. To make an excellent salary I would think you would have to get your own accts, not nationals, be able to transcribe excessively fast and work long hours, might be doable. To work for most nationals you need about 2 years experience also.
You missed my point I
being a roadside idiot holding a stopandgo sign.
that is the bottomline.
I have many years of experience of transcription.
If you don't see the writing on the wall of where MTing is going - well, whoa be it for me
to explain it to you.
I'm just bowled over by the fact that after this many years
my experience is worth less than if I had never learned
how to type, learned English grammar, learned to type 100 cwpm, struggled my way through computer education on my own,
learned medical terms, drug names and values, learned foreign
dialects, learned many specialties .......that here 30 years later I
can hold a sign and make the same money.
But you stay in the field if you feel like you will come out ahead.
Since they have turned the career into a profit making machine for
a bunch of suits - the respectability of it and the career side of it
seems to me has flown out the window and the MT has become nothing
more than a part of that apparatus that can be replaced at their whim, and rather
cheaply -
LOL. I think you missed my point, too. sm
I said benefits "should" be paid to employees, not that employers were required to pay them. That is one of the main reasons people choose to be employees, the benefits. Hopefully, your MQ PTO has improved. When I left them approximately 4 years ago the PTO was a measly 3 days for the whole year to include holidays, sickness, and vacation. At least now I have 6 paid holidays plus 10 days PTO a year plus other benefits including company-paid life insurance, short and long term disability, etc.
The point you missed is...
The OP never said that her supervisor asked MTs to work extra. If your supervisor asks you to work extra and you do, and there is no work for the other MTs during their schedule...then this is a different story. This would then be considered a problem with management because they are allowing others to work extra and grab another MTs lines. If MTs are not being asked to work extra and they are anyway, then this is a problem with greedy MTs not working their schedule. There is a big difference between the two.
The bottom line is: The problem starts with MTs not working their schedule. If management does not follow through and take care of the problem, then it becomes a problem with management.
you missed the point entirely.

I think I missed the ad in the paper that says you must
paint your house a funky color. I'm thinking I missed a huge sale at Home Depot on paint because my neighbors are going crazy with the colors. Yes, I understand home depot and Lowe's screws up paint and you can get the mixed up colors very cheap but geez. My neighborhood is going crazy with weird paint colors on their houses. Two months ago someone painted their house bright green with bright pink trim, then came the peach house with green trim, bright yellow house followed by bright blue house with the leftover yellow trim. New house being built across the street is all burnt orange including the fence. They even painted the driveway burnt orange and not UT vols orange. Now my neighbor is painting hers bright green. It's not a bad neighborhood here in Central Florida and the houses here run from 150s to 300s but these colors are horrendous. I think if I put my house up for sale I won't get an offer because the peach house, green and pink house, and orange house are all on the dead end street I'm on.
Missed most of it but what I caught was fun!!
t
i think you missed the point...lol
xx
I MISSED IT-CAN YOU FILL ME IN?
nm
I missed it. Poop. Oh well.
/
I missed that whole thing...what was that all about
nm
I missed it, can you give me a brief
synopsis???? My TV was messed up or something because my tape had FUZZ :-(
I would prefer Cirie too, but I have a feeling if they are making it look like Cirie wins then it must be Danielle :-(
Sorry I missed all the excitement
Sorry I missed all the excitement --went sailing with my neighbor for a couple of hours and just got home. I do have other things to do than sit on this board. You can all say what you want about me, I have no reason to lie about what I make, where I live or how great my accounts are. Life is too short and this is one battle I chose NOT to engage in. Believe me, don't believe me that is your choice and I have too much in my life for which I am grateful to let it bother me. With what is going on in the world right now, I think we have more pressing things to think about than whether one is lying about their income or where they live or if their life is empty. Prayers for peace would be more effective right now. Take care, going to eat dinner right now. Would you tell you what it is but that would just cause a couple of you to challenge me right now. Patti
Where is her first post? Missed it.

Ooops...I missed the 3. That's still a lot. NM
NM
So sad. He'll be missed for sure. :( nm
s
when was this on, what channel? I missed it? nm
dd
Sounds to me like QA just missed one.

Missed 60 minutes but
I missed that show on 60 mintues but I am real close to Hershey as I live in the general area. Heck I used to work for Hershey Park many moons ago. Lots of people around here are refusing to buy any more Hershey's chocolate. Sales will decline even if they are making it for less money. There are other concerns as well. With what just happened to the pet food, around my parts people are stating that they will not eat candy made outside the U.S. for the same reasons. Quality control is not the same off U.S. soil.
must have missed your posts...
dont know what you are talking about but
GOSH
IS IT NICE to hear some good news from someone that something is working out for them!! Wow! ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smlove2.gif)
I missed the original too (sm)
I'm a homeschooling mom as well. Rock on! It can be hard to figure out how to balance it all.
Thanks, I guess I just missed that!
Gonna get it ordered today because I have 1 podiatrist who is kicking my butt.
Thanks again!
You missed the point
You *apologize* in order to keep the peace/keep the job WHILE you look for another one, or decide to stay and re-negotiate terms.
I'd never leave an unprofessional comment or email hanging (no matter how much justified) UNLESS I was prepared to allow it to cost me my job.
It takes nothing for a professional to say "Sorry about that statement...etc."
and all I was saying is that ameliorating the situation could save a job you haven't yet replaced.
missed dictations anyone?
Does anyone have any real experiences to share with the missed dictations? I would like to buy them but I don't want to if my accuracy might decrease with them due to missed dication. although, I think any of my background noise would be louder than any dictator. But I guess on the other end is where the problem lies.
whoa, missed this one
I'm in Texas -- where is this In&Out Burger place?? That's certainly not shabby for fast food.
yeah you missed something
Yeah you missing something cause I contacted them and they said only five days from the first and further more it did not come so I called again and yes like I thought they claimed to have forgot. I have never worked anywhere where it 10 days to get your check, shoo it will be almost time for the next one to come out, but the what matters is I am gonna get my check.
You missed my point. sm
Obviously if someone is socializing or otherwise not working, no they shouldn't be compensated. I've been in that situation too. People like that are what drove us to a production-based industry. I've also worked in-house in places where the newbies refused to do the ESLs and the difficult reports so they never learned.
There are lot of us that do work and work hard that have 20-30 years of knowledge and expertise and are not compensated for it. Sorry don't think its right for a newbie to make the same amount as someone with 20-30 years experience. You'll say. "There are some with experience that don't know what I know." I don't believe a newbie knows what an MT of 30 years' experience knows no matter what. It just doesn't make sense. You can't cram 30 years into 1-2 years.
There probably are some imcompetent experienced MTs out there just as there are imcompetent MTs period, but don't lump us oldies altogether. Of course, nobody knows it all. When it comes to quality versus production, quality is most important. IMHO.
No, you MISSED my point.
In the post above, you said you ''NEVER said anybody should walk out or strike or quit anything.''
Yes, you indeed DID, and I quoted just one of the times you did and linked to the post that came from.
You really have missed something. They are usually easy to learn.
I like the ones where you can make your own. I now use Instant Text but there are others out there that are really good as well.
You just give frequently used words or phrases a short form and that's where you'll save time and make money instead of typing out every word. My theory is that the phrases are better because that's where you'll save the most.
you screwed up and you know it. you missed the point and you know it.
the jokes on you. hey i'm am more than happy to have the router give you the hard stuff. whatever. i got bills to pay and when they route crap to you, i keep the good stuff.
You missed the point because it is on your head.
You are a typical QA person who needs the last word. Get the point? Have a look in the mirror.
darn it, I missed her getting dissed by the
What you missed regarding The View gals...
Absolutely nothing. They refused to provide Kathy with a clip from the show. She had drawings of the show, though, that basically showed Star Jones moving all the way to the end of the couch so as not to "catch Kathy."
first I've heard of it..sorry I missed it; but
they'll get their code of conduct course in jail I guess.
one thing you've all missed here . . .
. . . WHOM I refer . . .
sorry, I just can't resist correcting Enlgish grammar.
might I also iterate that sentence structure may only be altered when your account is NOT verbatim.
Geez, you missed my point.
Benefits are not mandatory.
sorry -- missed the word "outside".

Ok I love you..never missed an episode! lol
yes, I did catch it;hence the haha you missed it
nm
Oh no! Tape missed part ....
I have Desperate Housewives and Grey's preset to tape every week. Wasn't thinking with the Super Bowl that Grey's would start late. The tape cut off right after Dr. Burke sent everyone out of OR except for 2 other people. He had just told the EMT that her hand was keeping the man from bleeding out and the bomb squad was coming. Then <poof> that was it! What happened next? Anyone, please? Thanks.
![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/1luvu.gif)
Thanks! I was devastated that I missed it Sunday!
NM
Patti,you may have missed her other posts where she
reference materials. THAT is what I am referring to. She has indicated her _good education_ should be enough to keep her employed and isn't willing to invest is current references. I don't respect that type of attitude...can you?
