I agree. They call me Mrs. Whatever!! I'm really
friendly with all kids and my kids' friends love me - but none call me by my first name, nor would I like it!
I agree. Take none of this. Let their behavior be known and even if necessary call the local News
many TV stations have to help. There was a service in our city who never paid her people and the local news On Your Side was contacted and not only was she on the news for not paying but she was also picked up by the police. There is usually at TV station in every major area (even if they are not in a major area, will go to the local surrounding areas) to help folks with problems such as this. Take it to whoever you can. People like this do not respect you.
I never understood why people continue to work for people that are even one day late. Pay should be on time. If it isn't, the MTSO would never get an ounce more of work out of me and believe me he/she WOULD pay me! I am not one to let it go. I too have worked in the legal field and I do know how to proceed.
Just don't give them one more day of your time.
I totally agree...how old are we to call other people stupid???
Give me a break...we do not go to school for countless number of years and just because we have to correct a doctor's spelling on certain things, doesn't mean we are smarter than they are...give me a break...if you were expecting to making 75,000 in this field you made the wrong career decision...how about a little bit of respect for a fellow MT...
Yep! Especially late afternoon.. nm

Working until this afternoon, then
cooking, eating, watching movies. I made the stuffing yesterday, all I have to do is put it in the oven, along with other goodies.
I Found It this afternoon - NM

I told my Mom just that this afternoon
I typed 2000 lines yesterday and it only took me 6 hours and that averages to be 30.00 an hour...I can't make that working outside of the home...I get paid full-time wages but only work part-time...that would never happen outside of the home either...I am so thankful for my job...no complaining here
Mid-afternoon Slump
 Any suggestions on what to do for that mid-afternoon slump? I get so blah about this time of day, it's all I can do to stay awake.

Mid afternoon slump
Thanks for the suggestion. Sounds good to me! Now if I can get my hubby to go to the store for me. I'm to try anything at this point. I think my biological clock thinks I'm supposed to have an afternoon siesta.
Do you know any males you can "borrow" for the afternoon?
It's really hard to do this, but congrats on wanting to! If you can borrow a male, even a 20-something, it seems to make a difference in these kinds of atmospheres, and you get better, more honest answers.
Had a car-buying experience when I was married, the husband came with me when it came time to sign on the dotted line. We found the car, negotiated the deal and I signed. Husband went to his 2nd shift job and I waited while they prepped the car.
Unbeknownst to me, someone else made a slightly better bid on the same car a few minutes later, and since I was alone by that point, waiting, they kept me on the hook 2+ more hours, had me talk to a loan officer with some sad story (we already had the financing)and generally tried to make me back off on the signed contract, AFTER the husband was gone.
I sat and watched soaps for 2 hours, kept my cool, they finally got tired of the run-around, and I drove away smiling in MY new car. The dorks.
So, borrow a guy for a few hours, from somewhere reliable, and have a BALL while you do this!
I work afternoon/evenings and 1 day wkend
but that is ok with me as my home situation fits that. I am sure there are places that have days but it seems like most places are going for the 1 day per weekend work situation.
My daughter's elementary school was on lock down yesterday afternoon cause some freak in a red S
truck drove onto school property behind the school (where the playground is) and tried to get some kids on recess to get into his truck! Thankfully the teachers on recess duty were paying attention and gathered all the kids back into the building and the school went on lock down. The police showed up within minutes, but the guy took off before they got there. So now they are looking for him. The news was parked in front of my house most of the morning this morning. I live directly across the street from the school.
It's just scary out there. My daughter who is in kindergarten was matter of fact about the whole thing. All she said when she gave me the note from the principal telling parents what happen was "It was for real mom. We thought it was a drill, but it was for real." Then I thought what a sad state this world is in when our schools have lock down drills now in addition to fire and tornado drills.
I live in a small town too and had a false sense of security until the Amish news and until yesterday. It seems like you simply aren't safe anywhere anymore.
Agree it's the dictator's report and the dictator's call. NM

got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.

On-call requires on-call compensation by law
This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job. Call me!
Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
.
If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
Agree, agree, agree! Just listen to Benny Hinn..
he speaks perfect English, especially when asking for money! Also, in my opinion, blanks should be left in the doc's dictation if not able to be transcribed, maybe then they will know that are NOT understood. With QA fixing them, what need is there for them to care if we understand them or not?
Call the doc and get an Rx....sm
My 3 kids had hand, foot, and mouth disease and the lesions in their mouths was just awful!! When they got chicken pox about a year after that one of my kids had them in her mouth and the doctor prescribed the same mouth rinse. They swished it around and spit it out and they stayed numb for hours! They finally got rest that way and so did I!! Go luck to you and hope all is well soon.!
you may need to call the doc (sm)
cause when I had the chicken pox, the same think happened to me and they did spread to my throat and became infected. I had to take antibiotics...I remember so well cause I was 13 YO when I had them. Also, it is Maalox and Benadryl, and viscus lidocaine, but I think that is Rx only. I'd call the doc if it were my child.  give them a hug for me, I know how they feel!
I would call
your local humane society first and speak to them about the matter. First, do a little investigation while your neighbors are gone.....does the dog have fresh water and food during the day? Does he have shelter at all times from the sun or from storms? It is totally a bad thing for any animal to be kept on a chain. Look real hard and try to find out anything they are doing wrong with that poor pup. Actually just calling the humane society or animal control about his constant barking should bring them out to talk with the owners. Let us know how it goes for you. I know it has been unpleasant for you but, as you apparently realize, it is even worse for that dog. This is your chance to help him.
call first
I would contact Hotels.com first to see why they only reimbursed partial. That is ridiculous. I would be upset. How long ago did they bill your credit card? I'd call your credit card company and dispute the charge. Most credit card companies will fight it for you.
Good Luck!!
You call that a different POV?
the point is how this person has attacked the OP. They were rude and it was uncalled for. so the next time you have a concern and bring it here, we can rip you apart instead of give support and you can chalk it up to it being a different POV.
I get so SICK of some people trying to make excuses for bad behavior.
We call them
PIG NUTS up here! LOL They are good, though.
call in 1-800
MedT:
idigital through transcriptiongear.com is very very reliable. You pay for what you use. I have been with them for over four years now and you dont worry about anything.. Check out the website and give them a call.
On Call Pay..
I know someone who works as a computer tech. When she is on call for a weekend, she gets paid $3 an hour for every hour she is given "on call" duty, so basically from 5 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Monday, she is paid $3 an hour, whether she has a "trouble" call or not. When she does get a call it is usually 15-30 minutes to deal with it, and it rarely happens. I think she has a great deal. She is not a transcriptionist, but is employed by a hospital.
On Call Pay
Thanks Pam. That gives me an idea of price range.
I can see why you call yourself that!
Spheris is hiring over 1500 US MTs THIS YEAR ALONE, you idiot. It's laughingly obvious that you're a disgruntled worker or EX. LMAO I hear McDonalds is hiring. LOL
Everything in your post is bogus. Just an angry dissidence. LMAO
I will call them
I will call them once I get DSL in my area. It isn't available here yet.
Why are we getting a call
to ask if we got the packet yet when we are not supposed to get it until October? This seems really weird to me.
The call...
was very friendly. Medquist will now offer:
1. 15 cpl/line for each and every MT regardless of ASL or regular transcription.
2. If work runs out each MT will be guaranteed compensation at their average hourly salary until work does come in.
3. All offices will be run exactly the same way.
4. If U believe all this, I do have a rather nice bridge in Brooklyn to sell...
No call yet either
I am still waiting for my call regarding the Rewards Plan. Letter is dated 9/2 and today is 9/14; that is almost a couple of weeks. The packet will come sometime in October so we will probably get a call a few days before it comes so we won't have enough time to look it over.
What should we call him?
Call whoever you want to
Listen up Bozo - I don't have any cousin named Sipper!
Go call whoever you feel like calling! For you comment about me being off the meds, why YES I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
not my call but
...if it were me I would tell them to STICK IT! There are better jobs elsewhere!
Refuse to be treated like a doormat. You're far better than that.
Why don't you call them and ask?
Make sure you have your dates right, verify your account information. The first paycheck is usually a check in order to make sure direct deposit is working properly. Other than that, nobody here can help you.
Call it what you please.
When I have a medical transcriptionist transcribe for my clients, they are subcontractors.
When I transcribe for a clinic or hospital, I am the independent contractor.
Now, you can refer to those positions in whatever form you wish and in the way that makes you happiest, but those, ma'am, are the facts, so I'm through going 'round the rosie with you about this. 
What does the IRS call YOU and your MTs???
The IRS will still call you an IC and will still call your subs an IC so it is possible to work for a service and be considered an IC. Some ICs just prefer to call their ICs "subcontractors" and there is nothing wrong about that -- a subcontractor is someone who performs independent contracting for a primary contractor. That person is still an IC, but their work is coming from another IC so they can be referred to as an SC if desired.
I never said you shouldn't/ couldn't call your people SCs. I simply said that it is not "impossible" to work as an IC for someone else. You and another poster had said she could not possibly be an IC and work for a service and several people have said yes, it is possible. THAT'S ALL I'M TRYING TO CONVEY. The only difference between an IC and an SC is that one obtains the client and the other does not. Both are ICs for tax purposes so if an MTSO wishes to say IC, they are free to do so and it would not be incorrect, nor is it incorrect if an MTSO wants to call them SCs. I do call them SCs, too, for the record, but I also recognize that in the eyes of the IRS, they are ICs just like me. I just get the additional benefit of writing off their wages. :D
If you want the job you will call.
It may not be right, or even professional for that matter, but that is life. If you want something you have to get it. If you don't like the fact that their tech people haven't called you yet, find another company. Then again, they may be busy training others or fixing system issues etc.
we call that
a running spell. We have a lab and a pom and both do it.
Thank you, both!! I will call and see how he is doing

I too have had to call the IRS....sm
to make arrangements on owed taxes for two years. I was petrified to say the least. But believe me they were very friendly and will work with you on the amount that you can afford to pay monthly. Try calling the IRS and work with them. I would not trust some fly by company advertising as you might get burnt !!!
Well then call her, cause you need one.
I pay my taxes, you pay yours. That's how it works.
I'd probably want to call her too but
I don't know if I would. Does SHE know the guy is married? Sounds a little despereate if she's calling this guy's friend. She obviously must not have been able to reach him. Was your DH with him when they met (sorry if you already said this and I didn't catch it). I guess since you can't call her, tell the guy not to give your husband's number to women and that he better not give his own # to women either or next time you'll let his wife in on it.
We call it...sm
Aunt Flo or Aunt Rose...no matter what it's called, it's a curse! 
Call Her
I would either call or e-mail her and ask if she is having problems with the report.
Let her know you will call her
client's if the check is not received in x number of days. Not for payment, but to advise them they will be involved if you sue HER.
I'd call it Welcome Mat!
