I am right there with you. It drives me crazy. A typo in a casual e-mail is one thing... sm

In Reply to: I wonder why there are so many folks - in the world of MT who can't...
But work e-mails full of spelling and grammar mistakes, punctuation mistakes, capitalization errors... I see it and I can't help but think the person sending the e-mail is uneducated.
And I don't want to go into details, but my supervisor (I work for a national co.) is almost illiterate. I get long, rambling e-mails that have phrases and words that make no sense! I have no idea what this person means sometimes. It's so bad, I'm starting to think maybe he/she is dyslexic, which is sad, but I wonder how you get a job as an MT supervisor when you can't communicate effectively? (Over the phone is no better!) My gosh.

It also drives me crazy when...
my kids send me e-mails with absolutely nothing capitalized and everything spelled phonetically. 
have to say really drives me crazy too
but when I used to do work for docs I knew more personally brought a smile to my face when one night the doc said "and for your listening pleasure my daughter Lilly on the piano" and she played a few bars of something (she was about 5 at the time) at the end of his dictation.
Drives me crazy
I have a new doc today and he says that he has a ton of reports to read, so to make it easier (I'm not sure for whom) he says NOT to type articles (is, are, of, etc.). It is actually HARDER for me not to type these words in than it would be to add them! It's making me nuts looking at these choppy reports. They should just be doctors and let us do our job!
Thank god for crock pots. 'cept the smell drives you crazy all day.

One more thing. If you're still having problems e-mail SH at
help@pcshorthand.com. They will probably be able to help you pinpoint your problem.
Good Luck!!
Actually slacks means casual pants.
I am hoping the posters meant dress pants ; ) That's what I have always worn; black dress pants with a matching jacket and a pastel colored top to break up all the black and mid-heel dress shoes. A manicure is a must and natural makeup, nothing too heavy or bright. ; )
Agree with txmt. An MT who can't spell in casual correspondence, sm
sheds doubt on his/her ability to spell in medical documents. Why is the effort to spell correctly so difficult for some MTs? It's what this business is all about!! Your bad spelling, casual or not, is a strong reflection on you.
Request that they place a stop payment on the check, reissue, and mail priority or overnight mail
If they refuse or invent unbelievable excuses, you'll know you have a problem. If MY check was a week late, there are many months I would be in deep trouble.
I realize checks occasionally do get lost in the mail. If they are 100% sure it was mailed, then they shouldn't mind issuing another.
Be firm and be persistent.
My friend who works for them is having her mail go to her own account. She hates this new mail prog

In every company I have worked for that pays via mail, they mail the checks on payday. sm
Depending on the distance you can get them anywhere from 3-8 days later. Right now one takes 3 days, the other 3-5.

My mail carrier just informed me that the mail is sorted by
prisoners as part of their work. Now do you feel safer and more secure?
Block her E-mail, return mail unopened
On AOL I can determine who I want to receive mail from and block those I do not -- and if they are blocked they get their E-mail back as being "undeliverable". If she sends things out -- send back --unaccepted. But to be simple just E-mail her back or call the recuriter if you don't want to deal with her directly and state -- leave me alone. If she is in another state you should not be scared of her but you may simply have to put it out there in no uncertain terms.
She drives me insane!!!!!!!!!!!

What drives me nuts is
EVOO. I do not like that at all.
She says EVOO then says extra virgin olive oil????
THIS DRIVES ME NUTS
why are we so concerned with sending work overseas??
This nation is so concerned with fixing problems everywhere else in the world and not focusing on our own!
Why do we constantly send work, money, military, etc etc etc overseas when we have homeless, starving, children (and adults!) here in the USA? We have students who can't go to college because they can't afford it and the federal government won't help because they are not a minority! We have people who can't get jobs for the same reason!
How about this?! Why don't we stop looking at race, background, and gender, and start looking at qualifications? Why don't we stop judging what people need based on color?
But i'm getting off track...
This country has a serious issue, and it starts with companies like AHDI. Rather than lobby for "a standard" they need to lobby for our work staying right here. When there is such an over abundance of work here that no one goes hungry and everyone has a roof over there head, then we can send it over there. I know there is such a romanticism about helping foreign areas. We see it everywhere. Celebrities adopting foreign children, missionaries wanting to go to China but not bothering to minister to people in their own back yard. Yes, we need to help, but we need to take care of our own also!
There is something wrong when a basketball player makes millions and a teacher barely can get by on his or her salary. What kind of country have we become? We place more value on entertainment then on morals and education.
When will it stop? We are going to dig ourselves in to such a hole and we are going to pull down all of our greed, immorality, conceitedness and every other vile thing we have become down on our heads!
I'm sorry I just don't understand what is so great about our country anymore. It seems we've got it pretty twisted. It won't be long before we start to reap what we sow. And I promise you, in the healthcare world, if all of our transcription goes overseas, and the documentation process becomes sub par, next thing you know the lawsuits will quadruple, which will raise the cost of healthcare, which will mean absolutely no healthcare for some, and so on and so on.
But hey, all in pursuit of the almighty dollar, right???
That totally drives me nuts....
they just keep talking right on through the yawn as if we can even remotely begin to understand what they are saying. Sheesh!
what absolutely drives me insane..
commas! I would like to tell the people who type for TV station "crawls" to PLEASE put a comma after the state name when city and state names are used in a sentence. As in Tulsa, Oklahoma, blah, blah, blah. Also NO comma between month and year, PLEASE! That absolutely drives me up a wall!!! Somebody please tell them! I know, I know.... crazy is not a long drive for me. lol
Thank you for clarifying. Drives me nuts
when people just read the first 2-3 lines and think they have the story. Although, sadly in the end would agree that he probably would not be the best motivational speaker - but I would have said that before his probs began - he just does not seem right for that kind of organization - but those are my personal feelings only. Thanks again
Today's hard drives...(sm)
...are perfectly adequate to hold not only a couple of hundred, but many times that without impacting computer performance.
Yes, we swapped cars. DH drives my 4 cyl his 13 mi to work and I keep

Absoluuuuuuutely abSOfreakinglutely drives me nuts.

Yes, "myself" drives me nuts as well as "further" for sm
"farther" and "anxiousness" instead of "anxiety." TV newscasters are really getting bad. They're adding "ous" to everything!
leave them right there, no matter how much it drives you nuts!
I did this for a week with my husband. Pretty soon his stuff was all over the house and come one Monday morning he about had a stroke trying to put together something to wear. Guess what? After that he started putting his things away like a "big boy" because mommy was not there to help him all the time. This is what my MIL should have done when he was living at home, not catering to his every need and constantly "helping him"!!!
and the doc spells "orientated." drives me nuts.

I have a new female dictator who just drives me nuts.
She speeds through the entire physical exam in less than 10 seconds. She gets going really fast and doesn't swallow, so I can hear her spitting all over while she talks! If she can't be bothered to slow down and enunciate so that she can be understood, she deserves to have blanks in her reports. It's not auctioneer school, lady!
How true, I have one very crappy doc that drives me nuts, just got done 10 minutes of him that is-sm
riddled with blanks. I go through it once more, then the office mgr goes through it and fills in what I cannot get. We have an understanding that I do what I can then send it in luckily on him. It is an all-around non-money making account....I waste my time, she wastes her time then the owner proofs it. This doctor even has horrible residents who dictate for him. If there was not so much background noise I would do a lot better but they somehow manage to find the most horrible place to do their dictation and go to town with it........surprised I still have hair left. I told them that if we continue to do this guy (the doctor had decided to stop using the service but changed their mind recently) that I should be paid double (I get the bulk of this twit) and they should charge more to do him due to all the heck he puts us through. ------Can't wait to see what happens with that one!
I just said hello to "the paper boy." He is about 50, drives a nice car and seems happy.

My hubby drives a long distance truck
thank goodness! He says the trucking business in dire need of truckers. Bet we don’t see folks punching those in.
You undercut yourself, which drives prices down industry-wide. sm
For a hospital, NEVER go under $0.16 per line to start. Most will want to negotiate and the lowest should be 0.14 per line.
A KVM switch will let you use 2 different hard drives on the same monitor. Saves much space
Check out KVM switch. I used my hospital computer provided to me when I first started with MQ. I used the KVM switch and that way I didn't have to invest in a monitor right off the bat. All I needed was a hard drive to dump the MQ program into. Then I could switch back and forth from one hard drive to the other. I don't know if this is what you are looking for but just thought I'd add this here as it has saved me much money and space.
I'm getting e-mail and personal mail from MQ regarding changes
and lawsuits. What's up with MQ? Any speculation? My mail is general and not specific to my office. Think things are coming to a head with the lawsuits and MQ is trying to play nice?
typo/ should have said definitely. Thanks
Sorry for the typo and...
I'm also going to post this on the company board in case this is the wrong board for this. Thanks.

Just noticed typo - should've proofed before sending. Sorry for the incorrect spelling of through.
It was a typo
My father-in-law signed my husband up for this and I thought I would give it a shot to see if we could make some extra money. I really am a medical transcriptionist. I work for a company out of Brentwood, TN, but I get to work from home using ChartMatrix and VoiceWave.
It's a typo - get over it! nm

Sorry about that typo!

I meant to say [resent] instead of recent. I hate typos, even in postings---must be the MT in my blood!

Sorry for typo. sm
Sorry for typo. Yes, you are right. It's such a small amount, but the principle of the matter as well as her arrogant disposition prompted me to do it. Her lawyer is taking it to trial. We could have settled this thing, but maybe her lawyer is milking her and stroking her pride. Anyway, someone is going to get paid, even if it is not me.
Typo
Was told I could NOT take a vacation....or, not one that included the entire weekend - lol!
typo
cataract and not enough coffee. :)
Thats just crazy!
Makes no sense! Wonder how these types of people are running the HR depts?!! I am fortunate enough to have three offices that I IC for. So, you moved because of the pay situation?? Hope your in a great position now!
-DAWN-
That's crazy!!
Are you serious? I can't believe they would cut our pay. The more you produce, the more the pay should be. They are getting paid per line from their clients. I'm sure they are not getting less from their clients because of DQS. If that happens, I'm quitting. I barely make enough now!!! How much was the cut, if you don't mind me asking?
