I feel the exact same way.  As an IC, I do not feel I should commit to lines or a schedule.  In my opinion, finishing early, doesn't mean a thing.  As an IC, I have the option to refuse work at any given time.  If the MTSO does not like that, then find an employee.  I am tired also of finding that even IC status does not pay any better than the so-called employee jobs.  Yes, down time should be paid as an employee.  On another board, there is a job, IC status, 10,000 lines a week.  Cut me a break.  As an IC, you are supposed to be marketable to other accounts out there, not solely one account.  You should be spreading out so to speak, and if you commit to that many lines, then how do you market yourself to other clients.  Also, I find it rather odd when an IC status position is posted as full-time or part-time.  There is no such thing in an IC's world.  It is not that cut and dry. 

I agree with you..... wholeheartedly...... 

The interpretation is this: Money will speak louder than just writing a letter. Speak financially. Get it now?

Not that I worked 3rd shift, but when my older son was still at home, he'd get home from work between 10:30 and midnight and wake me up every single time.  He's very loud with one of those voices that carry for miles.  If it was 11:00 and he was on the phone, all I could hear was, YAH, I HEAR YA DUDE. . ."  We could ALL hear him! :) The whole time he's slamming the microwave door, rattling dishes and silverware, etc. Earplugs were my only hope.

It's been sooooo quiet since he moved out on his own.

I worked 3 weeks for a company as IC status.  They wanted a schedule so I did one and then the work was not coming through so the third week was told not to do schedule; it did not look like the MD I was going to have would get into a routine.  I did the work at night or early morning.  Was told I had to work my schedule even if I had no work I had to be there in case it came in.  Does IC status not mean TAT and production but flexibility with schedule as long as you get the work done.  Also it went from 60 minutes to 120 and then at the time I finished the 100 minutes 85 more came through and it was like she expected me to do it right then.  I had 24 hours.  Also was called as soon as it uploaded at 4p.m. one day and was asked "ARE YOU TYPING".  It was not my scheduled time and it had only been uploaded about 30 minutes.  What is your take on this.  IC does not mean be harrassed if not an employee with benefits right.  No work for 3 days and then hounded as soon as it came in.  I am not there now because I voiced my opinion. 

explain this? I'm not trying to get banned, but every other site on the net survives just fine and there is no such restriction on them.

Maybe I'm dense, but I can't even make up a sensible reason for it.

I cannot understand why I type SO many ERs with trivial chief complaints such as:

sore throat - cough - pimple - splinter - blister - farted - (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but COME ON people!)

The most recent ccx.....Can I take a laxative? Not constipated, just needs to know if she can take a laxative along with her hypertension med. Thought she better go to the ER to ask.

Why are these people allowed to be such a waste of ER resources?

Just a pet peeve....wondering if anyone agrees with me.....perhaps someone else who has spent hours in an ER waiting room for something or other.

I admit, I'm one of those women who got into transcripton because it was something I could do from home.  I was 20 years old, single with a baby, and looking for a job.  My mother mentioned going to school for Medical Transcription.  I had no clue what it was nor did she.  When I asked what it was, she said, "I don't know but I hear you can do it from home."  LOL, that's all I needed to hear.  Well, that baby will be 21 years old in a few months and I have to say, transcription has been good to us.  There are actually 3 of us now, no hubby though, just my 2 daughters and I. Just thought I would share my road to transcription.

So, what brought you to the world of transcription?

in third grade and he is now in 10th.  He is no longer medicated.  He was in therapy for 2 years because he was bullied, had horrendous teachers, and had low self-esteem because of various school issues.   He came home 3 days after starting K saying his teacher yelled at the kids.  I should have taken him out then, but didn't think I could do it.  I fought the system for so long and continue to fight it today as I help other parents advocate for their children, but at least now my son isn't caught in the middle.   

Lots of parents bring their kids home for the high school years, at least for a year.  There is no law that says they can't go back for whatever reasons.  I know lots of parents who have homeschooled K-11th grade and then their kids want to go to high school for their senior year.   If your son is failing and miserable why send him to school.
