I used to send a card and gift card to my direct supervisor, but that's it. sm
She was the only one who knew me as more than an employee number, and the only one I had any respect for.
if you use your debit card for gas purchase (SM)
make sure you realize that some companies (Shell is really really bad to do this) will reserve extra funds on your debit card until the transaction completes and releases those funds 24-72 hours later. With Shell, it is $75 over your purchase. I nearly fainted when I realized what was happening. You can go on MSN Money and find a few articles on this -- gas companies reserving funds on your debit card.

GIFT CARD
It is a slap in the face! What is $5 going to buy you at Wal-Mart? They could have sent you at least $25. They should be ashamed.
If she reads get her a gift card for
Barnes and Noble or your local bookstore. I get one every year for Barnes and Noble and it's my favorite gift. If I don't feel like going out, I can order what I want on the net with the card.
The card should have been given as gift cards for grocery stores, etc.

Years ago, I used to get a $25 gift card from the hospital I worked for.

You could have a bigger gift delivered to their home, too, and just put a note in the card. How

My siblings and hubby and his siblings started doing this a few years ago and they were a big hit.

I have never been asked to show a receipt at Walmart. Is the Walmart you shop in a bad neighborhood
And the expensive stuff has an alarm on it for the cashier to take off. No receipt check. Just a greeter saying good-bye.
OMG, you FORGIVE Walmart shoppers? Are you nutz. Did Walmart
put an over-priced small business owner out of business. What is your PROBLEM?
I see old people who would otherwise not have a job smiling and happy with Walmart. I see undereducated people who do not look employable working at Walmart. Walmart employs millions of Americans who may otherwise be on public assistance.

I would contact the bank, stop the auto debits, contact the lender...
Contact the lender, explain that you stopped the payment because of financial difficulty. Ask if they have a hardship plan. You probably have a 20-day grace period on your loan payment, (they report to credit bureaus when 30 days late) and you probably also have a grace period on your insurance. In the meantime within those 20 days of grace, FIND A WAY to make some cash. It seems, at least from my experience, that when you get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. If you use next month's check to pay last month's bills, you never get out of the hole. I've been in that downward spiral and I understand what you're going through. I've sold things on Ebay, consigned clothing at consignment stores, and worked two jobs just to stay afloat at times. Every little bit helps. It can be done. But don't WAIT, call them today!!
You mentioned the IRS. Try calling the Taxpayer Advocate's Service toll free at 1-877-777-4778. They are independent from the IRS and their function is to help solve IRS problems that cannot be solved through normal channels.

I became an MT because of my interest in medical field, fascination with the work and yes, a lack of social skills. I really did think that my work would speak for me.
Debit card. They've got the credit card logo on them, so they

Are you an MT or planning to be one?

WOW - I have been checking out both Compass Cove and Caravelle.. I have a 3-1/2-year-old..So you liked Compass Cove the best, huh? Did they offer the full breakfast buffet? Were the rooms really clean and nice? I am going to check out their prices now....I love the beach...I have had such a hard year that I am looking SO forward to it...We are going to 6 days/5 nights.....Thanks for the info!
Go for it, I am planning to send out a brochure - sm
in my area shortly. Have my business cards designed, now working on my brochure, then just going to run 25 off at a time on my printer and send them out the the docs/specialities I am proficient which happens to be quite a few. So if 1-2 docs get back to me out of 100 I should be set. Tired of making 7-8 a line depending on the account I am working. If by any miracle I get too much work I guess I will just have to hire someone to help and work for me!
Planning, organization, schedules, determination, and
making others be responsible for themselves and respectful of your time, effort, energy.
Taught the boys to do laundry, cook, do housework.
Taught family/friends to respect work/study schedules.
I don't feel the obligation to answer to anyone else anymore.
I am planning to give this company Manipha
Global some test files. From there I can verify who's telling the truth. The forum readers will definitely hear a feedback from me in a week or two.
Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?
I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers. Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer. Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card? Did it make a difference.
Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you. You have helped me many times.
I love this idea! I'm in the planning stages of a website... SM
and would love to sell this T-shirts on my website at some point in the future.
I have a friend who is in medical billing, got her coding certification, but can't get a job without actual work experience as a coder. So we've brainstormed and thought we might go into business together. Create a company that offers medical billing and medical transcription and eventually coding services to private practices, hospitals, etc.
I'm also toying with the idea of incorporating some sort of online MT mentoring/education program into the new business venture.
But like I said we are in the planning and brainstorming stages and when I read about this T-shirt idea, I thought it would be a fabulous addition to the website. Because one thing is very certain our business venture will stand firmly against offshoring.
Are you planning to move the external drive to the new computer?
If so, save whatever data you want to move on the external hard drive (you should already know what the letter drive is for that one). Connect it to the new computer. Easy enough.
Regarding a legal board, we are not planning to add any new boards. We feel that there are plenty of
boards for various topics of discussion. There also will not be a MQ board set up. Posters may post on the Main board or Company board about companies.
How are you planning to deal with the oncoming high winter heating bills?
I'll be bumping the thermostat back another degree or 2, down to whatever leveI I can not be cold at. Otherwise there will be less "fun" money spent if it has to go to the oil companies!

Do independent contractors working from home have to have a business license to work from home? Please help as this issue has been raised. Thanks for any help!
Where did you purchase? sm
I bought one from Exprescribe like that and never could get it to work.
Does anyone know if you can purchase
a C-phone locally or you have to get them on the web? I am freaking out. A little bit of water got spilled on mine and the buttons will not work now. I let it dry out overnight and it seems fine when you plug it in, but none of the buttons will work!

VoiceScribe program? I am offered a position with a company but they only give you a 30-day trial for this program - then after that you have to purchase license for $600. I just can't afford that right now. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
definitely purchase something
I got a Brother fax machine several years ago at Office Depot for around $80 or so. I later got an HP all-in-one in 2005 at Sam's. I don't remember what it cost, but it's worth it if you'll be faxing regularly. Some of your clients may prefer a scanned version.
You could also compare on-line fax capabilities, which seems to be more current, for obvious reasons. I can't remember the details, but I've heard it advertised on talk radio.
Just a thought, especially if you'll be doing this regularly. Places like the UPS Store, etc. charge a good bit to fax, not to mention the inconvenience of leaving the house to do it.
Me too. Let me know if you find it. I will purchase it also. I also don't know whether or not
Good luck.
Need to purchase cphone
Help! I am trying to get started transcribing at home and I have work to do but I need advice on what type of transcribing phone to purchase. I have been instructed by my current employer to by a cphone that dials into an automated system to retreive my work. Please, any advice or if anyone has one for sale. The cheaper the better or I will buy used. Thanks. 
It is normal to have to purchase your own
provide the PC. Some will provide the foot pedal if you do not have what is required. Some companies give you the option of renting their equipment. It all depends on the company, but yes you will have to have your own resource books.
Anything you purchase for your transcription
You might want to check out some of the earlier posts here as the tax issues have been discussed. You would probably gain information in that respect. Also, you might want to have an accountant/tax preparer for your first year. Some say, you can copy the next year from that first year, but I personally believe in having my taxes prepared for me as these guys are up on things, ya' know. Most definitely though you will want to get your own freestanding PC because down the road you may want to gain some of your own accounts, so you will need that. You will be fine. Some of these people act like you out to take their job or something??? Go figure. There is always one bad apple in the bunch, right? I learned that in grade school. Best wishes in your endeavors....
Because of scammers, if you purchase a new pc,
and want ALL the CDs, you are going to have to make a verbal request.
Yes, you can purchase an adapter just about anywhere
that sells computer accessories, such as Radio Shack, Best Buy, CompUSA (online only now), etc.
Research and purchase best available. NM
