I'm doing a crazy happy dance!

I know this is not the religion board, but I have to give a shout out - so if it bothers you look down real quick. Psalm 116:1 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Thank You Lord for Your faithfulness. You have seen every tear and every time my wages have been changed by Medquist. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

I am beyond excited this morning! I have been busy, busy, busy on the Internet since Saturday night, following a trail on earning money on the Internet. I did not even sleep Saturday and then went to church all day Sunday and then back on the computer Sunday night. Anyway, after many, many hours, the Lord just dropped a site on me, I don't even know how I got to it. Well, I signed up and started making money answering surveys! So far, I have made close to $60 in just a few hours! This is for real. I am mad, because it is too easy. I know how I have struggled in the last few months, really the last several years, to earn a decent wage. I have years of data entry experience, and that is how I am looking at this. Just keep the forms moving. Advertisers are willing to pay for exposure, hoping to influence your buying decisions. With this, all I needed to start was my email! I was so impressed, I set up a new blog that has all the details, some tips and the link. The company even asked me to share a testimonial. The site has great support. All the details are in my blog, but basically you get paid per form (the ones I did paid 0.60), and they estimate doing at least 12 an hour. We Ts know how to move records!  I did 16 forms an hour easy last night, and like I said, I am just getting started. You can listen to your favorite TV show while you do this! Great referral earnings too. You can e-mail me if you have any questions or if I can be of help. I am glad things have been going better with the Q - the additional bonuses and OT has been great. But this makes me really happy.

My 16-year-old daughter got involved a couple of years ago, and it's wonderful! I had to sit through all the classes as I'm our area coordinator, so I decided to join the adult classes. It's a very social dance form, especially with adults who do a lot of what is called ceili dancing, which essentially dancing with a group of people. In Ireland, it's not unusual for 4 to 100 people to get together than do progressive dancing (stopping for a pint of Guinness as needed) for hours on end.

Whatever class you take, YOU GO, GIRL!

Things only seem to be getting worse.

week and my son will be starting basketball at school in a month and that is it aside from church activities.  I definitely think parents push their kids to do too much.  Not only is it stressful for the kids, but I can imagine the added stress of parent who works full time having to keep track of each other's schedules, the kids' schedules, and running to and fro taxing kids back and forth!

I worry about my nephew.  He's 13 and he plays every sport there is.  He broke his knee playing fooball two years ago and now has to wear a knee brace in every sport he playes, he's 13!  Right now, he is playing 7th grade football, he is in two different soccer leagues, and he is signing up for a football outside the school system.  So he basically has some sort of practice or a game every day of the week and on Saturdays!  He has strained his back, he complains about his knee aching.  When I say something to my sister about him overdoing it, she says "he does want he wants, we're not making him."  I've told her that she is his mother and it's really up to her to set limits, but she loves the idea that she's the mom of a "star athlete."

Anyway, just a sore subject with me, I guess.  I'm really close to my kids and all my neices and nephews and I hate to see them miss out on the fun in life just because they feel they have to schedule everything!

Makes no sense!  Wonder how these types of people are running the HR depts?!!  I am fortunate enough to have three offices that I IC for.  So, you moved because of the pay situation??  Hope your in a great position now!

-DAWN-

Are you serious?  I can't believe they would cut our pay.  The more you produce, the more the pay should be.  They are getting paid per line from their clients.  I'm sure they are not getting less from their clients because of DQS.  If that happens, I'm quitting.  I barely make enough now!!!  How much was the cut, if you don't mind me asking?

Although you may be expecting too much of yourself too soon in your MT career.

I have been in over 12 yrs.  I have my own Expander with 20,000+ short cuts in it (if you email me, you can have a copy of it).  I know this expander like the back of my hand after using it for about 10 yrs.  I make about 1800 lines or so a day, less if I am tired like I have been lately :(. 

It IS doable, but I don't believe you have enough expansions to maximize your skills and time.

 I am not sure what would trigger anyone to think washing a keyboard in the dishwasher would work.  I know from others who have had accidents by spilling a cup of coffee, water, soda etc it shorts out the keyboard so what would make anyone think washing it in a dishwasher is smarter?  I cannot believe someone would try such an insane thing.  Oh my.   Those who have tried and ruined a keyboard obviously like to waste money on having to buy a new keyboard.

benefits and put them in their pockets and called them PROFIT.

They put us at home and said that was an excuse to LOWER THE BASE RATE OF PAY.

I tell you what, 4 years ago I was making $42,000 a year working for a hospital.

I had benefits along with that $42,000

I WORKED AT HOME IN MY JAMMIES.

I HAD FLEXABILITY OF TAKING OFF just like I always had in life.

Do you want to know what I made last year doing the same amount of work??

I made $14,000 and NO BENEFITS.

The company I have worked for (which shall remain nameless but we all know who it is) has managed to take away BONUS LINES, ENOUGH WORK, and NEVER GIVE ME A RAISE IN 6 YEARS.

If they think they have created a better medical record system they have lost their everlovin minds.  Reports are less accurate now than they ever were.  The hospital may have a PIECE OF PAPER back in their hands quickly, but it isn't worth a tinkersdam. 

So if you new MTs and even the older ones who now are on supplemental income or have a husband to back them up, us MTs who need to make a living to support our children - think again if you believe what we have been WORKED DOWN TO is a good deal. 

MTs at home have taken on the RISKS of transcription.  It is our personal time that goes unpaid while the company RISKS NOTHING.  We are the ones sitting around setting up computers, eating down-time, trying to learn new programs on our own dime.

THINK ABOUT IT

but I don't really see how telling the truth is a stunt.  I have never watched The View, so I don't really know why Star is so anoying to people (Please fill me in!), but it seemed from that video clip that she just decided to tell the honest truth.  I think it is admirable that she decided not to put a spin on it and deceive people, IMO.  From that clip, she seemed very gracious and sincere.  I don't think it was a stunt.

Talk me out of this, tell me why it would not work, and tell me I am nuts. 

OR tell me it is a great idea, how it would work and why...

I keep reading of all those who want to get into the MT field.  Those who are in school and hoping to land their first job.  Those who have finished school and are struggling to get a job because they have no experience.

I keep thinking I could do something about this.  Somehow I could mentor newbies.  Get them up and running, give them experience, then off they would go into the world of MT.

Whenever I get this crazy idea, I think I must be insane.  Why and HOW would I venture to do such a thing?  I have years and years experience, I make a VERY good income as an IC, I have what most would want in the MT field.  I have no accounts of my own, nor would I desire that.  I contract from two services.  They have the headaches - - - I have the flexiblity and pay I want.

Then I think, maybe I could do this for a service instead of having my own accounts.  Then I think no one would pay me what I make now.

THEN I think I have lost all my marbles and I put these crazy ideas aside.  Then, they resurface.......

Please tell me why this would not work.  Help me understand once and for all that it would be a devastating move for me, that newbies are too hard to mentor, that the field is *going downhill*, etc., etc., etc.

Or tell me why it is a great idea.

Thank you for your input.
