I agree -- check, cheque, chex, etc. -- who cares as long as you can cash it? :-) sm

It is rather disappointing to see a bunch of professionals bickering over such a trivial issue.

Cheque? Who spells check like that in the US?
i
It's true that if you cash a check, they are no longer liable, but
with direct deposit, we are not given the choice to cash it or deny it. Wonder how that direct deposit affects that choice.
Seems to be getting paid with a cash "card" instead of a check. Done at other types of

She probably cares because as long as she is on 100% QA, she is receiving a lower wage, in addition
to holding up her eligibility for benefits (if she is entitled to them).
Homemade Chex party mix!
Made with real butter, lots of peanuts, Cheese-its or Goldfish. Rice and/or corn chex or Crispix; none of those nasty wheat chex. Used to mix up a batch and sit and type and and eat and then graze on it throughout the day
No cheque
I work for MQ and have done so for past 3 years - no cheque. Can anyone tell me exactly what this cheque is for and will we all get one? Thanks all!
cheque

Since I live in Canada and the cheque is going to my cheque, I am spelling it the right way. 


As long as there is no credit check I would see no problem - sm
I am in deep too, though I have a job, the debt came after unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control. But just lost one major expense and hope to be out of the hole in about 3 years if all goes according to plan (5 at the most), just plan to work my butt off to pay it off and not incur any more. Money sucks but your need it to live unfortunately. But it should not affect your ability to find a job.
Agree to credit check.
I have seen several applications where you had to agree to a credit check. 
Agree with pat..takes too long

I'm a member of NFO and after about three months I have about 970 points, and you need 1,000 points for just $10.  I only receive about two invites a week for surveys, don't know how to get anymore than that.  I'm also a MyPoints member.  I usually just get the 5 points for reading the message and never buy anything, so it takes a long time to get points added up for me.  Maybe once a year I do redeem them for about $20 worth of gift cards. 


The people who advertise that you can do the surveys in your spare time and make all this extra money make it sound like you can just log on to a site and they are sitting there waiting for you, and you can do as many as you want, all day long, for as much money as you want to make.  Wouldn't that be nice! 


I have never heard of or seen the car advertising thing except on cabs and public transportation, oh, and of course delivery trucks and cars. 


I agree. As long as you have the work
option to give work to another IC.  I has a client that used other ICs.  Just because I transcribed for one physician didn't mean I could expect to receive all of their work.  Being an IC is being your own boss, not your client's boss to tell them who the can and cannot contract with.  JMO.
Agree with you. As long as you meet TAT, you

Agree with you. Thirty minutes is long enough.
I will do testing if it has 1 or 2 voice files, but when they send me 4-6+ and then tell me testing take 90 minutes, forgot that. Who has time. Time is money!!!
I agree. I would be long gone if I wasnt the age I am and am actually phasing out anyway.

I agree with you. I outgrew this stuff a long time ago.

I totally agree with you. Had a long debate on this this morning.
being forced to carry the financial "responsibility" for those who can be responsible for themselves! Not to even account for the lives of the rescuers that they put at risk. Get the HECK out of Dodge!
I completely agree. I don't care how long it's been a 'tradition'.
It's pure senseless slaughter in the purest form.  Maybe they should have "running of the Spaniards" and see how they like it!

I agree check with your facility. Enlarging the font size can cause problems once a report uploads

I wrote a macro that would take the font size back down to 100% once I was finished and ready to sign off.  I think I assigned to something like CNTRL+ALT+F and I got into a habit of doing that before hitting whatever function keys to spell check and sign off.  It worked great.


I just said I DON'T have the extra cash.
However, I'm not going to shop there because what comes around, goes around. If I don't support the other small businesses in my area, they won't support my business or my husband's business.
What about my cash flow problem?
She owes me for 2 weeks work.
Good for you!! We are the same as far as paying with cash.
It was (and still is occasionally) hard to be patient and save for what you want instead of using credit, but it is so, so, so worth it!!  Nothing like peace of mind and not being "owned" by creditors and employers.  Best of luck to you and thanks for sharing. 
Is it unheard of to cash in PTO with national?

I have 75 hours of PTO and wonder if the national I am with (starts with an S and ends with an S) would allow me to cash it in?  This thought just occurred to me so will call HR when I have time to but just wondered if anyone has done this and is it an unreasonable request.


Thanks


Yeah, i need the extra cash
my husband passed away in january. I need the promotion or I have to get a second job and I thought to work at home would be good because I still have a 15 year old at home. Oh well, I was trying to get prepared, but God will provide. I'm sure it will all work out. The hospital I work for has been very good to me so I count my blessings there. Thanks!
The difference between a refi with cash out and a
home line is there is a variable rate with a home equity line of credit. The refi with cash out finance rate is 4.625% right now.
Ew. My DH listens to Johnny Cash and the Highwaymen.
I tell him it's canner music. I've listened to AC/DC for 25 years, but I listen to a lot of other types of music, too. My kids were surprised because they didn't know I listened to AC/DC and they like it, too. They don't like Johnny Cash or the Highwaymen either. At least AC/DC isn't rap or thrash metal. (Angus rules!) My son's learning to play electric guitar and he likes all those old rock bands.
Unless you work in a bank or at a cash register,
doubt they would do a credit check. I remember telling my employer during my interview about my Ch13, explaining the surgery, the divorce, the agony...she sat there and then said "we don't do credit checks." This was at a major hospital. Background checks only.
The reason I don't tip is because I NEVER have a dime on me. I don't carry cash, ever! I don&#
debit card and it's been like that for 4 years. I use a check or credit card for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
I havent had insurance in many, many years, I pay cash and like SM
the poster below I usually get a 20% discount, but you have to call around to find out who will give it to you. My DD had to have an MRI last year and I got a big discount on that too by calling around.

Originally, insurance was intended for hospitalization, not regular doctor visits. I dont know how it evolved into this monster we have now, but it sure has driven the cost up.
hey if you can afford it and a supervisor's approval means more to you than cash, have at it.
i want the luck of the draw.  you think your supervisor is going to pay your bills when she routes crap to you and it takes you twice as long to do a report?  all you do is make her look good and she gets a raise. 
But you have learned nothing. Ever hear of paying cash for what you want, instead of financing?

Buy him a Johnny Cash CD, my kids are singing their hearts out right now to JC.

Hey if you have the cash more power to you. Obviously the rest of the country doesn't.
Everytime I go into a Walmart I see poor folks shopping and I never see poor folks in high-end stores with la-de-dah staff snubbing them. We just can't afford the prices independents need to charge the consumer.

For extra cash I just started donating blood plasma SM

to BioLife, owned by Baxter. They pay about $50 a week for this (put on debit card). Does anyone else do this, and what other things like this is anyone aware of? It's not as gross as it sounds, just like giving blood, and they separate your plasma from the blood and give you your blood back.


slow periods, seek alternative extra cash? sm
Docs, like us, have busy family lives. I found that after Hannukah and Christmas (or sometimes with a break from family stuff) they "catch up" on dictation. Hopefully, this is what still happens. I have a son who is a professional and he likes to go in on Christmas Eve morning because it's so "slow" that he can get a lot of paperwork done. So hang in. Another aspect of today's world is that docs are carrying laptops now as is my family PCP and they are all doing their own notes. I think it's a "wait and see" thing, the world is changing and hopefully there is a survival tool for us somewhere. We are all being replaced by technology, sadly. Only time will tell. I was told several years ago that I should go into "scoping" which is kind of like editing, etc., you go into public stenographers machine gibberish and make sense out of it, kind of like making sense out of what comes back from India. I was offered this but refused to clean up someone else's "mess." Everyone should be thinking of alternative ways to get by, it's never easy. It's sad, as I have put a lot of time and $$$ into a profession that doesn't appreciate my knowledge. From your posts, Blondie, you have a good heart. I hope things get better for you. Try to have a happy holiday. How did you make out with those dogs you took in? Did the owner take them back or at least pay you? This may be an alternative few extra bucks for you. You seem to be an animal lover and a caring person.I don't live near you, but I would rather leave my Golden with you than some kennels around here. Thus, I do not go away if I can't take my dog. Hope things pick up for you work-wise.
I keep the minimum amount of cash in the bank. I may sound paranoid but I fully

there to be locked up.  The banks are scampering around if you notice.  They have written notices that they can raise your interest rate to 28% or more for just about no reason on the credit cards.  I think they have let way too much money borrowed out be on the books, and now the little man is having to pay either with money, or his financial credit. 


If you read about GOLD, gold is selling for a lot, all over the world, even in this supposed stable time.  That's a sign they say that things aren't as steady as the powers that be want you to believe.

No and Who Cares.

Who cares really...I mean is this.....
really important?  I can tell you that my life is no different now than before.  I agree with the other poster...if it will pay off the mortgage or make a payment then I will care, otherwise, NO!
who cares, he is...

Who really cares, Jay? sm
Are you the same Jay who used to be so vocal AGAINST the AAMT and offshoring and you are now their biggest fan?  Well, that says a lot about you, doesn't it?  Cheerleader #1!!!  The AAMT failed it's biggest test.  Defending and protecting the AMERICAN MT.  Then, let's have the annual convention in Hawaii, when a lot of us, Jay, are making a lot less money than we used to. We don't have the money to go to Hawaii, Jay.  Get the picture?  At any rate, whatever floats your boat.  The AAMT is bogus.  Maasalamah!!!
Nobody cares who the MVP is..
