Or does the ballast/weight of it keep it very steady? I've never been on a barge or anything quite like that, so I'm just trying to imagine. Seems it would be so comforting (rock-a-bye, baby...) if it does move a bit. Doesn't make any of your guests a little seasick, does it?

sway and roll
If a boat goes by with a pretty big wake -- which they are not supposed to do, you will feel it go up and down. No one has gotten seasick while visiting. When the wind comes up it does remind you of being at the ocean. We have a fire boat here on the island and when there has been an emergency they have jetted by in the middle of the night and that does wake me up. But since we are tied off on three sides now to concrete pilings, we don't move like a boat at all, if anything it kinds of puts you to sleep. The worse time for a rock and rolling though is when you are sitting on the toilet, that is when you notice it the most. But after 11 years, I barely notice it at all. Thanks again to all of you, it may be Saturday but I don't have a lawn to mow at least. I tease my newphews about coming down to ride the riding lawnmower to mow my lawn, instead I have a paddle boat that we paddle around the moorage in.

You have some really cool stuff at your site. I'm sure gonna come back here. Profound TV Make or not , right Chair will Roll Table without any questions Give Expect Roll - that is all that Player is capable of , Astonishing Table Forecast or not Chips can Hedge Boy
You will want to sway the easiest way for you
If it is a one-doctor practice, you want to purchase the handheld.
Try www.transcriptiongear.com for options regarding either FTP or call-in system depending on the volume.
www.vancedigital.com offers an FTP site that is easy to use and you pay on usage; fairly inexpensive.
I would suggest for tapes that you give them a list of courier services because once you start to pick and drop off work and tapes you'll lose valuable time.
I like to get out during the week so I do deliver but the pay is awesome and I can't bring myself to not pick up, plus it allows me to network.
Sticky notes a great idea. I was actually thinking a pen with my business name on it, but haven't gone that route as of yet.
Good luck to you.
Why? One person on this site could sway you?

For CURIOUS: You are not curious, you are paranoid and a sociopath
Are you referring to the sentence
'And HOW to you put a marker?'
where I typed a 't' instead of a 'd'?
It was just a TYPO!
I am an American MT!
It is so pitiful how PARANOID SOME American MTs have become, ESPECIALLY THE OLD ONES, fearing for their jobs and being afraid of getting the boot.
Trying to be 'expert linguists,' sniffing out various dialects, detecting some Indian hints, whereas they most probably live in rural areas or in cities with a population of 1,000 inhabitants.
So sad, so sad, what has become of the MTing profession?
Now, CURIOUS, start nitpicking my post.
(Eye roll)
 Oh good grief! What's the big deal? Act like the professional you are and just transcribe the dang thing; then go on to the next dictation! Don't make a mountain out of a molehill. I transcribe for Hollywood celebrities all the time; if I had to stop and tell my supervisor that "I know this person," I'd never get anything done or make any money!
eye roll
I am being nice. My advice: Do research - not just this time but all the times - and it will pay off tenfold. Now if that ain't nice, I don't know what is, unless you're implying the info should be laid out on a silver platter garnished with parsley, strawberries, powdered sugar, etc. Now THAT's not nice. 
Eye Roll
And did anyone ask you to plan the meals in their homes? No, they didn't!!
I try to tell myself to let it roll off
She just likes to be in the spotlight and wants to make sure no one else gets in, oh well. I shouldn't take it so hard. It is kind of petty really. It just makes me so angry that I want to place my foot where it doesn't shine. Friday as I was leaving to go home super MT and another Obnoxious MT were talking. All I heard was "she this.. and she that and as I got closer obnoxious MT said "bye" and not a friendly bye, have a nice weekend it was more like "get the (bad word) out of here" type bye. Gee, wonder why she flunked out of nursing school. I got paranoid thinking they were plotting something to make me look foolish or insignificant in front of the supe, like they did earlier but then again the supe knows how long I have been there, she knows the work I do so why worry....but I do.
Agreed. Roll with the changes in the
be phased out. Those who refused to switch out of WP5.1 and learn Word or some other windows-based program now have a much more limited set of work options. The same thing will happen with ASR. You can learn to work with it and learn to be part of it or eventually be obsolete and out of a job.
I like the Roll-Up Keyboard
I bet it's throwable too!!
So you'd just "leave it alone?" BIG EYE ROLL!
 No wonder docs are farming it out overseas!!
just had another funny on - i'm on a roll! sm
typing neurobehavioral tests for my neurologist doc. Part of it is a question regarding knowing the name of the current president. The patient's answer just slayed me.....
Question: Do you know the name of the current President?
Answer: "Bambo"
Now that's one for the books!!
One quarter short of a roll...nm

LMAO! You're on a roll!
I was thinking the same thing!
How great thou art, my Mensa MT!
LOL
i remember having to roll pennies
to buy gas for the car, and it wasn't 30 dollars. Gas was about 1.50 at that time, but doesn't matter how much it is if you don't have the money! Another time, I had a 25 cent coupon good towards some cleanser...the store clerk forgot to take it off my grocery order, stating that "it's only a quarter!" I only replied, "I hope you never have to find out just how much a quarter is." Unfortunately, I found out a few years later that, yes, she found how much a quarter meant.

I do LOTS of ops, really almost exclusively, and the ones I have ... (drum roll) ... lol ... SM
and use primarily are Stedmans Equipment Words, The Surgical Word Book, and HPI's General Surgery/GI Words and Phrases. I also have the Stedman specialty books, but the only one I really tend to use of those is the orthopedic one, for some reason. I also use Google a lot and, again, primarily for orthopedics. That seems to be the specialty that changes a lot....well, that and cardiology but I don't do much cardiology right now. HTH
Calm down now. I'm just saying the roll works out much more economically for my needs...
I double checked and it's $52 including shipping for 5016 labels (8-1/2 x 1). That's equal to 456 sheets (8-1/2 x 11) or $0.1140 per sheet. Two of your boxes (250 x 2 = 500 sheets) x $28.70 per box is $57.40. That's $0.1148 per sheet plus your time cutting each of those little notes apart. I just print off the sheet and the office separates each note without the chance of losing a little 1" paragraph somewhere before it got to the med rec dept. I have absolutely no problem with curl, as the roll core is fairly large and I use a paper towel dispenser for quick dispensing. Six of one, half dozen of another. The gal from Med Arts Press is the one I was really speaking about. Their prices are nasty. Only if you want custom colors and then I'd go to Compulabel before MAP. And BTW I wasn't trying to step on toes, just trying to help save somebody a buck. Your welcome.
Love Shack and That Old Time a Rock n' Roll!!

I knew I should not have bought that roll of 37-cent stamps!
This is all my fault.

curious MT
Trust me you should hope that VR does not catch on too quickly! It is very intense work, and you get paid squat for doing it! And you still have to type either when the voice is not recognized, ie, as in when the dictators are residents and just coming in, and you get paid the measy sum to edit reports that require more transcription than editing, so far there is yet a formual to distinguish between this! So count your blessings that VR is not making its wave across Amercia with the MT's until everyone catches on to the fact that it is not "easy money" and we need to be paid exactly the same amount of money whether we transcribe or whether we do VR. Or the companpy uses some formula you need to be a rocket scientist to figure out! Whether for personal use or for business use VR still needs to go back in the closet from whence it came! Or the Nationals need to pay us a living wage to do the editing if the clients want VR. Then I'll be more than happy to offer my 20+ years experience up to do as much VR as they want. At the moment those of us that do VR are being grossly taken for granted and our knowledge and experience used without proper compensation, because we were not totally informed about the trials and tribulations of VR and just HOW much work it truly is.
Just curious
Did you contact the MT and try to find out what the problem might be? With a Q.A. score that low (unless you're a comma freak) :) there is no hope. Personally I hate doing Q.A. but I've done it. I recall one MT that had a really low Q.A. I talked to and asked how I might help. Turns out she was a clinic MT (BIG difference) hired to do acute care on, of course, a production basis. She was about to lose everything she owned trying to make it. She ended up moving back in with her parents for a time and today so far as I know, she's a great MT. She had potential, just lacked knowledge. I think Q.A. has to realize that less than qualified MTs are hired routinely and this is not their fault.
Just curious, but
...how would you know what your company has to pay? In my experience, turnaround penalties were known by the account managers and senior management. It's a contractual detail, not public knowledge or something to be shared with transcriptionists. Then again, maybe you are in contracts, or account management, or maybe you are the CFO or COO. However, if all of your accounts truly incur no penalties, you should be buying lotto tickets, and please share the numbers with all of your friends here on MT Stars.
And yes, I've been in account management and senior management. It's not a pretty place.
Just curious
ditto your thoughts!
Just curious, but how old are you?
I barely remember Beatles.
Just Curious
What is it that makes the job so difficult for someone with as much experience as you have as an MT? I have thought about making the switch myself, and was just wondering.
just curious
Why is that there are 3-5 pages of whining about MQ and having no work and only 5-6 hits to tips on how to improve skills. Why waste time writing these "open letters" and add to your Expanders or buy an Expander or ask for tips. No one, not even MQ, owes anyone anything. You have to make a way for yourself. 1200 lines per day is level I work. My goodness, get a grip. I think they are trying to tell you all something............They need production to stay AFLOAT.....May be the work is going to MTs who are grateful to have a job.
I'm curious too.
I've been with MQ for 2 months now but we have had them begging us for overtime, offering lots of incentives and stuff. We haven't even come close to running out.
I'll be waiting to see answers though!
Just curious
so, are you going to stop the fat and ugly stuff or not?
I would be curious to see if many SE's
opt for FT (or PT) employee status because of better benefits.
Benefits were not an issue for me, so it wouldn't be enticing to me but I would be curious as to how many would convert their status if a good enough benefit program was offered. (And what the "good enough" would be defined as for everyone.)
Just curious. Break's over.
Just curious
Where is this crazy Amherst office people are always complaining about?
Now Im curious
What is the condensed version of why people are quitting MQ? You guys could have your own board there is so much conversation! The rest of us seem mute. LOL
Curious.
Does anyone know if having a consistently low body temperature can affect/cause things like: mood, memory, depression, appetite, abdominal pain, fatigue, irritability? Body temp of 96.5-98.1, mostly stays in the 97.5 range at different times of the day. Using a digital therm. in mouth to get readings. Have read about Wilson's syndrome, but have heard that it is not real. Thanks in advance.
I am curious about that, too!

what about Spheris did you like the most. I am looking for employee status, benefits, equipment furnished, easy platform, available work, etc.
I'm curious...
Why do some companies demand that their MTs know inside and out the rules of the AAMT yet count off if you don't type EXACTLY what the doc says, including such errors as incomplete sentences or "Upper extremities are intact x4" or dictated commas where there isn't supposed to be a comma?
Why does it matter at all if you know the AAMT by heart if you aren't allowed to put the rules to use?
Why why WHY???
AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!
curious too
How about the easiest too?
Just curious, is you second job as an MT? nm

Just curious...
Are they certain it is the flu? There is a test they can do now to determine if that is in fact what he has. I was just curious because it seems that he should be starting to feel better after 5 days if it's the flu. I had a flu test last week for similar symptoms, but that wasn't it so even though my strep test was also negative they treated me for strep anyway and I'm all better now.
Just curious...what do YOU think would
Maybe this person is thinking something similar about you...that they have employed you for all these years and now you are leaving. I am a small MTSO and have had a couple of people resign. One of them did not give a reason. I did not ask why. I figured if she wanted me to know why she would have told me.
