I have Earthlink ISP and I have their accelerater, but I still need to have faster dial up as an MT for downloading and uploading so what do I do?  Is there a way to setup our computers to get a little more speed for our jobs?

INMT

I know they could care less about us, we're just numbers/slaves to them, but why don't they get a little integrity for the business, make us happy for once, in turn improving quality and giving themselves a good name, and pay by the hour while we learn this technology at least.  How can any company cut pay across the board like that and get away with it?

give you extra lines because of the time involved in doing those particular reports.  Not so much you get paid more per line, you just get extra line credit.  For example:

You have a 100 line report, but it is weighted because of a table that you have to input.  Then you would maybe get credit for 130 lines for that report.

that the IT department has to check out the software before you are allowed to load it on the PC and then they might decide not to let you because of software licensing concerns (individual versus corporate license).  This is the response I got when I asked to load my PC ShortHand on a hospital-owned PC.

Here's what I how I got around it.  You can get yourself a 1 gig or 2 gig jump drive and load the Shorthand program on the jump drive.  Then plug your jump drive in your PC and run the program from the jump drive.  You never actually load it on the PC and works fine.  It runs in the backround on the PC, but once you exit the program and remove your jump drive, there is no evidence that you ever used your own program.

I've done this for years.  In the office on a PC I shared with the evening person and at home on the hospital provided PC.  No one was ever the wiser.

I dunno much about this neither -- I just do what I'm told.  :/  I use a VPN connection.  when I want to get tech help from the online system, I have to have my wireless laptop hard wired to be connected.   so I was told.  so that's what I do. it seems that might be a clue in the puzzle, but I can't take it any further.  :)

and then another account I've been told I use too many....  

So much for trying to be perfect...  

Teasers in school.  They just do it because they have no life, no self-esteem and they just try and feed off the misery of others or try to make themselves look better than everyone else.

It's very sad and so pathetic, but it carries on with these types through what is supposed to be adulthood.

There are a lot of screens to go through and hopefully you're getting the correct patient account number and all of that jazz!  Good luck with it, but I would request an hourly rate for Meditech work if I were to do it again after 15 years of that stuff I put up with using it!

my hubby will leave 1 knife, spoon, or fork on the table and it gets buried under the mail he never reads. He will take his shoes off at the door if the ground is dry outside, and keep them on if the ground is wet, snowy, muddy, etc.

He will make himself a sandwich, put everything away EXCEPT  the mayo, leave the bread tie on the table and twist the bread closed and fold it under. Oh, and the best thing.....he never, ever uses a paper plate for his sandwiches or snacks of chips, pretzels, etc. at the kitchen table. What falls on the floor stays on the floor.(sigh)

But, I feel lucky because he puts his dirty laundry in the hamper and carries the hamper out to the laundry room if he needs clothes, I fold his clothes and put them on his bed and he puts them away...on top of an open drawer, on top of the bureau, on top of a chair, etc.....I give up.

BTW, I'm with him 40 years and been trying to train him all those years. I did make a couple breakthroughs, but not much. So, ya gotta love 'em or leave 'em. I choose to keep him.
