but if the OP is like me, she can't afford for them to find someone else.

I would suggest asking for a raise.  The worst that can happen is that they will say no, in which case I would start looking for another job that will pay more.  Once found, I would offer a two-week notice.  Many of them will not want you to work after that, but if they do, I would work my butt off for two weeks and have extra money for Christmas.  Win-win!! 

after being offered a job making $25/hr. with full benefits and supposedly a future?  And now we're supposed to go back to school at 50 y/o because of this govt?  Are you with the illuminati or what?

This happens to be 2006.  There are many, many people who did not finish school because they were offered jobs that paid quite well.  Unfortunately, those jobs are now being given to illegals, etc., remember "the jobs that Americans won't do?"

I won't be going back to school, I made enough money. 

As an employee you pay the taxes -- cannot use that in making that comparision.  You have to compare what the benefit package is worth.  Nowadays most companies do not have that great of benefits, few pay 100% medical, not many do matching 401K.  Benefits can usually run 4K to 7K per year depending on the place.   But again, the only additional tax you pay as being self employed is the 7.5% SS and then half of that is deducted for your federal tax.  As an IC there are a lot more additional deductions you can take to help offset that which you cannot do as an employee.   But I wish people would quit saying that as an IC "you have to pay your own taxes" it is more that you have more "control over the amount of taxes you pay."  

I don't have to download but three dictations, one after another, usually 1-3 minutes in length, and have had no problems with my dial-up on the platform I work on. It may take a minute for three files to download, but then when I upload the first file upon completion my next dictation is already there waiting for me to begin typing right away. While I am typing, then another dictation downloads.

I connect most consistently with 50.6 Kbps and it has worked well so far. However, I have never experienced/worked with high speed connection so I don't know what I am missing. :D

I actually prefer working on a platform as to downloading from an FTP site or via E-mail as it is actually more time consuming for me when I have done that in the past. :)

I certainly will be giving the ExpressCard a try as I will be given two weeks to decide to keep it or return it. I will also keep my ISP for awhile too just to see how this all works. :) My major concern is whether I get a good signal out here in the boonies. :D If Verizon doesn't work for me, then I will try Sprint when they start getting the ExpressCards in but Verizon will receive them first is my understanding.

Thanks so very much for your feedback. I sincerely appreciate it.

So far we have been told by 2 companies that they will not hire from California,  I am waiting on a reply from a recruiter who is checking into it.  I think it may have something to do with the OT laws and the highest employment taxes in the nation.

Sucks Though!

whereas Florida is bumping it up to $6.15 an hour next month I do believe or next year sometime....2006.

It's all relative when you think about housing costs, like in california.....you could live in a dump and it might cost a half million.

Chance of snow tonight near Fresno.  I know this is not your kind of cold, but for us it's unusual.

with all of us fat MTs    And California is usually a "skinny, healthy" state - not that I've seen of in-house, hospital MTs, at least here in Northern California. 

IMHO, you will do better working in-house in a "liberal" area or state, or employee-oriented state, because major employers know not to go there, or else

HELP!!!!  Can anyone tell me anything about California Transcription LLC????  I think it used to be called California Transcription Unlimited, but I'm not sure about that.  Was just offered an overflow account with them, IC, but they only pay monthly, so I will end up typing for 6 weeks before I see a paycheck!!  This is not a problem for me, but my only concern is that they are legit and actually pay people.  Would hate to find out at the end of June that they are rip-off artists. 

I REALLY need some input here gang.  Does anyone on here work for them now or in the past, or know anything about them???  Thanks!!!

Hey there,

I work for Spheris.  My supervisor just informed me that from this point forward, I cannot work OT.  

 Are there any Spheris MTs from California who could e-mail me about what I could do as a cut in pay right now is devastating. 

 There are exceptions for people who do piece work I have read and wonder if there is a way to get around this.  I am paid by exam and sup says when I work 2 minutes OT, they have to pay me OT for every exam, plus if I work over 5 days, OT for the whole week, or over 8 hours, OT for the hourly pay...

Needless to say, I am devastated by this... as I live alone.  Need I say more?  ::sigh::
