Huh? and you're not ashamed
I have gotten nothing but leftover garbage today thanks to people who think like you. Have you ever heard of karma? Don't you think I have to earn a living too? I guess the difference is I don't believe in screwing over my fellow MTs to do it.
Do not ever be ashamed of who you are.
or where you live, what you drive, or any other outward trapping of society.
The only people who have cause to be ashamed are those who belittle others for whatever reason; they are bigots and all bigots require only that they can make themselves appear (to themselves and others like them) to be better than they are by tearing down the lives of others. Quality has nothing to do with outside show, it has only to do with inner worth.
Bigots will always be among us. Pity them, they will never understand what quality - "class" - really is. They know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
That's ashamed...
I know I have many clinics try to diddle me town line wise, but I just refuse to be their little slave girl. They either want a good job done or they don't, and if they want a good job done, they're going to pay for it, or they can go find some little mamma willing to do it for nine or ten cents a line and then sit there with the jaws hanging down to their fannies as they read their shotty transcripts.
Ashamed
I am so ashamed to have this MT be one of my colleagues, not that I work at the same company, but just that we are both MTs. You know life is too short to be doing a job that you do not enjoy. I completely agree with the poster who said that most of would just be happy to get a raise! I work for one small MTSO, and have 1 doctor, and doe not get paid very much. BUT, this dictator is the same every day and I have many shortcuts set up for this dictator and so I make a more than decent amount per hour. What I would not give to have the same dictator every day and get a raise! I am so sorry that this MT did this to you and to the owner of you company. Sometimes people are like children give them an inch and they will take a mile. I hope the owner of the company talks with this MT and backs you up. If she does not want her job I would be interested in finding out more about this having the same dictator every day and working for a company that gives raises!!
Don't be ashamed...
With kids it's hard to have a savings account. It seems all my hubs and I do is work, work, and work and then when we do get a vacation, we tend to use what should be in savings for "fun money." I'm sorry but life is way too short.
I have a kid in braces and another one that wears glasses. Copays just went up majorly. We have Aetna, and there are deductibles out the ying-yang. Hope and pray none of us are majorly ill, we'd be done for.
I could find a job very, very fast but I'd probably slave for minimum wage since experience doesn't count in this profession even though they claim you must have 1-3 years before they hire. I have 19 and make the same as someone with 2 years of experience. Go figure!!
Thank goodness for my own accounts to stay afloat and thankfully I am here when the kids get home from school and can grocery shop when it's not busy. I save money by not buying fancy clothes for work but do treat myself to the hair salon (need a little something once in a while).
Don't be ashamed; we have no savings either... Oh well... Hopefully, the kids will get scholarships for college and if not, then I guess we'll just finance that too or they'll have to work their through and appreciate it more in the long run if they have to earn it the hard way like I did. No silver spoon here and no handouts either.
We work hard. No, we would not be hurting if we lost one paycheck, but 2 or 3, most definitely would leave us behind in our bills.
Ah, go ahead...don't be ashamed...
No one will laugh. And, most likely no one will slam you for it either. There are only a few really nasty, jealous people here. 
LOL!!!! I have no reason to be ashamed
There are consequences for every choice. Not preparing for the consequences of choices made and expecting to be bailed out of those consequences constitutes the typical welfare mentality. A choice to live in a disaster-prone area without making adequate preparations for disaster is a choice that will have predictable consequences. Those who embrace the welfare mentality immediately blame others for the consequences of their failure to plan ahead and demands that others bear the cost and the responsibility for salvaging them from the results of their own choices. The welfare mentality is not the exclusive province of welfare recipients. Trust me, I will never seek or expect help from you or anyone else. I would far rather rely on my own preparation and resources. Besides, whiners have nothing I need.
Whatever. Nothing to hurt and I'm not ashamed.
You shouldn't be ashamed..
So what if it's not the South of France. As long as you had a good time and enjoyed yourself, that's what it's all about!
I have done a lot of traveling, and I can tell you the best vacation that goes down in my memory book is going to Sanibel Island, Florida - surf fishing, catching fish - swimming in the ocean - and kicking back wtih my honey with a Mai Tai. We sent out to dinner at lot at some really nice restaurants there, but the best was steaks on the grill the resort had available there and a great bottle of vino.
I hope you get to Myrtle Beach again and enjoy yourself.
(High Five To Ya') 
I'm sure your grandparents would be ashamed of you
maybe that's why you hate successful whites so much - you're jealous
sorry..ashamed to "say"...not same..duh lol

No on is an idiot and you should be ashamed of yourself for calling anyone that. nm

My son did. I am ashamed to say that I didn't know how and I had to ask my teenager to do it.

1984. I was in 4th grade. I'm 32 and not ashamed to say!!
Good for you! Every vote counts!
Myrtle Beach! Nothing to be ashamed of! I would rather go there!!!nm

Sounds like you are depressed....Nothing to be ashamed about.
I recommend you talk to your physician and maybe get in some therapy sessions, not necessarily medication, but get to the root of how you can assess where you are overwhelmed and what steps you can take to take control. This site is actually a great site, on occasion you will find some nastiness, but overall there are some wonderful women who are very supportive in situations like these.
I was diagnosed last year with depression and anxiety and although I was on meds, I think the therapy was major reason for my successful outcome. I learned why my life is so unorganized and stressful and I learned some very helpful tools to use on a dialy basis when confronted with these issues.
One thing I found to be helpful for myself is I started to take my shower before I started work, even put on makeup. It really does change how you feel about yourself. I recommend you start there.
Good Luck!
I am almost ashamed to same I am from the same state as these freaks...
They absolutely sicken me. They are a radical CHURCH group believe it or not that protest funerals all over the U.S. on the basis that for one they love the publicity..and their "grounds" for protesting funerals is that the people who are dead are dead because it's God's punishment to the world for society's and the military's acceptance of gays. That's it. I mean come on...I don't care what your position is on gays, I cannot fathom the idea that they feel it's ok to stand outside the funeral of a soldier killed in Iraq or now these poor innocent children....to hold up disgusting hate signs with such things as "911 is God's gift to gays"..and they truly believe these people deserve to die because of this. It's total INSANITY to say the least. They are absolutely disgusting.
My kiddos start school next Wed and I'm not ashamed to say it will be a relief. My teenaged son
gives me hourly updates on his boredom every single day. Now, my daughter is starting kindergarten this year and I will be sad probably the first week because she's my baby - my last baby - but she is sooooo ready for school. She just can't wait. Maybe I should be the one with hurt feelings since she can't way to leave me! 
I highly doubt my son's feelings are hurt when I say "Just think, you won't be bored when school starts."
Kind of ashamed to admit I threw daughter's card away
I know some will call me petty. We haven't ever had the best relationship because she has been a difficult kid since grade school. Just really, really hard to deal with and nasty much of the time. I keep trying and trying and trying and trying. I help her out financially when I can, watch the baby every day while I'm trying to work, too. I had tears picking out a card for her, and I put some money in there with a little note to treat herself. Yes, I took the money out and tossed the card. I know it sounds harsh, but I feel like I keep putting forth the effort and barely get a thank you in return. Instead, I get a "what's your problem?" Now my son..I can deal with. At least he treats me with some kindness and he tries.
enjoy these...thanks! (nm)

enjoy it -

Same here. Enjoy.
I enjoy VR
I work on the eScription platform for MDI now, formerly for Transcend (the eScription VR work moved to MDI). From what I understand, Transcend is continually adding new accounts and needs more people to staff them, for the most part. I'm curious what company/platform you are doing VR for/on? I have made more money using VR, personally, and, as you say, with much less wear and tear on my hands/wrists.
So far I enjoy it
I have worked outside the home and got tired of office politics and dealing with supervisors on power trips etc. I wanted more control over my life. I decided to become an MT which allowed me have that and have been working as an MT for 4 1/2 years now. I enjoy the work (except for those difficult dictations), enjoy working from home and enjoy the flexible hours. I have made more money working as an MT than I ever had before. I find the work challenging. I know there is a lot for me to learn and I am trying to build on my experience and hope to continue in this line of work for as long as I can.
I enjoy....sm
Psych and ER, because they are interesting. Also like H&Ps, d/c summaries, and family practice.
Dislike neuro, especially with a thick accent  .
Then enjoy! sm
My favorite is microwave movie-theater butter popcorn and SnoCaps or M&Ms! Anything in moderation is not bad. I do this just about every month and am not overweight either. Plus, did you know your metabolism rises during *that* time of the month? Eat up :)
Yes - enjoy .12
I make much less than I did 10 years ago - due to Microsoft Word versus WordPerfect and the fact that you have to look up "every little thing" on the internet to complete a report. No one wants blanks and because of the internet they think you should be able to find every doctor on God's green earth, their address and the number of children that they have - as well as business names and addresses, relatives, etc. all done through Google or some other search engine which takes time out of your actual transcription. There used to be people in the office who would take care of these things and now the Transcriptionist is expected to do it. I can never get a good flow going anymore because of having to stop and look up names and addresses, etc. I would be happy with .12 and just wait for the day that your job goes to India - as they are all doing.
i enjoy it
went thru a rough time last summer when they went to VR, but i went out and sold myself and became an editor. they have since thrown in the towel and dictating again. i have too much work now, but i am not complaining. last paycheck i made $1100 so it is worth what i put into it.
I enjoy it too.
Does anyone here ENJOY their job?
Does anyone on this board actually enjoy doing med tran? It seems like all everyone does on here is complain about how bad it has gotten and how they hate it. I just want to know if anyone feels the opposite and still enjoys mt'ing?
I enjoy my JOB, just not how bad the pay has gotten.

Enjoy, eat up and be merry
Prostelysing bothers me. Keep your god to you and everything is fine. Start telling other people it is okay to do something cause *god* says so, then it isnt fine. That kind of stuff belongs on the religion board. Arguments for blacks in the back of the bus, blacks not being allowed to vote, nothing wrong with smoking, drinking, not letting women vote. All of these were thought of as right years ago. We, thankfully, evolved and realized they were wrong and changed them. Same thing with killing animals. IMHO and in millions of others opinions, it is wrong and one day, we will look back in horror. Already so many young people are vegetarians, more so than when I went to school. Im amazed. I have three friends who each have sons. All four of those sons are vegetarian and they are educating and enlightening their mothers about the healthful ways of eating and ethical and kind way of living. Not to harm, tread on this earth softly. So, once again, have a feast..enjoy. Actually, the animals are getting their revenge through disease spread by eating meat. I talked to one thoracic surgeon I used to work with and he said meat eating, especially red meat, contributes to heart disease, plaquing, high cholesterol, gallstones, gallbladder disease and he said that was just the beginning, much more. But, hey, this is America. We can make our own choices. So enjoy. It is just a post about animal cruelty. If it bothers you and your gods teaching, then dont read it.
enjoy it while it lasts
i received letter from MQ stating all ASR work will now be paid at 80%. Yippee! Is the client paying less for ASR work? Is the cost of living going down 20%?
ready to retire
i enjoy your posts
you seem to have your head on straight
lol, im sure no one would condemn you for that, enjoy

Muy bueno! Enjoy some for me!
That sounds goooooood.
I enjoy going to them and hosting
but then again, I used to sell Homemade Gourmet, so I was one of those that counted on someone hosting a party. Never tried to make any feel like they had to though...
Glad you could use it. Enjoy!

Enjoy your cookout.
This is my third try with this message! The bad language police told me I used a bad word twice and my message was dumped. I did not .. repeat did not use any bad language at all .. what I have been trying to say is that there has to be some significance in shooting into the Sea of Japan and I wonder if we still have active bases there? To get to us .. all they need is a bigger booster rocket and since we have cut back money for everything to fight hand to hand in Iraq .. I wonder if the silo situation with our rockets to take out their rockets still is in working order!! Typing this makes me think of a bunch of little boys playing war and it is really not doing much to keep me in a celebratory mood .. God help us all.
I don't enjoy most of their dictation either, but
the one who did surgery on my foot must have been a genius. He totally fixed the bunion and pain I had, plus straightened my 2 littlest toes. I wasn't having trouble in the smaller toes, actually, but he said I would, and all he had to do was blah-blah-blah. So I let him do it. Sure enough, that whole foot is great now, and the other foot I haven't had done because the bunion wasn't quite bad enough has had pain in the bunion and those unfixed little toes off and on, so I think he was right to straighten the others, even though they were only a tiny bit curved.
I think they have to say all those words for documentation purposes so they will get full payment, but it makes for some very long, boring reports with a bunch of slurring MDs.
You are blessed, for sure! Enjoy it! nm

I don't enjoy watching my pay go
from a living wage in the 80s/90s with decent line counts and fairly decent dictators to horrendous ESLs, "creative" line counts to gyp the MT, and pay so low you can make more at McDonald's.
I do enjoy transcribing & editing. Preaching to the choir here, as we all know MT isn't something anyone without training and skill can do. The pay should be commensurate with knowledgel, but sadly it isn't. That is why I only do MT on weekends now and have a FT job in a completely different field. I simply can't afford to be an MT anymore.
When enough skilled transcriptionists leave the MT industry and US hospitals are fed up with offshore quality or get sued enough times and the message finally hits home, maybe there will be a demand again for MT, but I doubt it. That is my hope though.
I enjoy doctors that like to mix it up
a little bit. When I worked in an office, our rectal/colon surgeon was always cracking jokes concerning his speciality, may have been a little off color, but he livened the place up. When they are singing, cracking jokes, etc., at least the dictation is not boring.
Actually, I enjoy doing MT work very much
most days. That has nothing to do with my vent. My vent was about ESLs who can't speak the English language coherently enough to be understood. The same goes for English-speaking physicians who haven't mastered the language either. If they don't know enough about the English to construct a proper sentence, then maybe they should hire someone else to do their dictating for them.
Goodnight, enjoy your milk

Don't take things so seriously. I learned, no matter what you think or say, your siblings are going to do what they want anyway. Just sit back and be lighthearted.
Happy Thanksgiving!
