I certainly hope no one in your family ever needs defending. You might pack up and leave them too.

NO, this sounds like good training. Dogs are low rank pack members of any family,
:+
I hope that either Kellie or Katherine leave...sm
they should have gone before now if you ask me!
You certainly demand a lot and are so aggressive. Hope you cool down when you are with your family.

No its NOT rude! You are defending that you don't need to
OBVIOUSLY you do - in 5 words, you spelled one wrong! And on the subject line! So, you disprove your own point - you, yourself, make careless errors that your eyes don't pick up on typing the keystrokes! You're rude for not even admitting your own shortcomings - that you're a human!
I'm not defending their mistakes whether
by intention or accident. That was not in my post whatsoever, so learn to read.
What I said is true -- and the posts above just proved it. It doesn't matter if they owe you money or not, you're going to gripe about it. There's nothing anyone can do to change the past. They found a discrepancy, no matter how or why, and they are righting it by sending the money that is owed. That is the RIGHT THING TO DO...it is also the LEGAL thing to do.
You were po'd because you felt cheated on your pay so you griped. Now you're getting that discrepancy paid to you, so you gripe. You gripe because they didn't make changes. Now they are and people are still griping.
The whole start of my post was directed at the idiot who was complaining over the letter - the letter announcing upcoming changes, whining because it didn't include SEs (in her severely compromised comprehension). I responded to that.
I didn't say anything about defending their actions other than they are making a wrong right by paying money that is owed. They are legally obligated to do so. And no one is relieved about it regardless.
I'm saying what many of us feel and that is if you don't like MQ GET OUT. If you aren't leaving, SHUT UP. It's a good thing we work remotely -- the pathetic pitiful peons who can do nothing but drag their hind end around on the ground whining, "look what happened to me" don't seem capable of saying, "Hey, I'm not going to take that. I'm outta here. I don't think you're treating me fair so adios MQ." Instead, they have to just continually lurch around with their bellyaching and griping and try to keep everyone feeling like they do. They LOVE to feel upset. Makes 'em feel justified in some sick way. Justified perhaps because they're not able to do anything else maybe. Who knows why? Who cares? I don't.
I'm tired of hearing the griping about a situation you're doing nada about. Shut up and do your work -- maybe you'd have some MONEY in the bank then. Otherwise, ship your worthless self out to sea and find new populations of people to cry to.
As for your "...it is not the people on this board who short-changed their people..." remark...you are WRONG. By continuing with a company that they believe is doing them wrong, they are short-changing themselves and their families -- their kids, their husbands, their relatives, their friends. EVERYONE. You have a responsibility to not be poor, provide for your family ADEQUATELY and BE HAPPY. When you don't take care of that situation at work and feel that way, it bleeds over into your life every other way. I bet you people are a JOY to live with. What a horrible negative environment to live in.
I usually let this crap on this board roll off my back. It's usually good for a few laughs. I'm not angry but rather tired. Tired of having to wade through the mires of people who have imprisoned themselves. If MQ did you wrong, GET OUT. If any of these companies did you wrong, GET OUT.
I would be ashamed to sit here and constantly gripe about the same problems over and over and never take action and change it for myself. How handicap is that?
Lately, coming here is like jumping into what appears to be a nice cool lake to enjoy a good relaxing swim only to get out and find there's hordes of blood-sucking leeches on you. It's really pathetic and it's that way because you won't get over what has happened.
Well, guess what? IT HAS. Whatever made all the pay issues happen -- IT HAPPENED. You can't change it. It won't go away. GET OVER YOUR SITUATION. GET OVER YOURSELF. You're not the only people in the world with problems.
Absolutely the biggest group of losers I've seen in a long time. Losers -- Losers every one because you REFUSE, not just fail - which we all do, but REFUSE to get up and get past these problems.
Get over yourselves. This is a great line of work and there are some great companies. MQ is one of them - for MANY of us. If this work isn't paying you enough to live then guess what?! IT ISN'T FOR YOU unless you like to live hungry!!
I agree that everyone has a different experience but you know what? You seem all too familiar now with MQ at least and you are still there -- voluntarily. No one makes you stay.
If you're tired of defending yourself for being so upset about MQ, why don't YOU go start yourself a board somewhere?
I don't believe this board was designed with MQ-haters in mind, was it? No.
So, excuse me, but YOURS isn't the ONLY attitude around! I don't care if you like what I'm saying or not! I have just as much reason and rightness in what I am saying as you do.
Hope you people sleep happy in your little tight little drawn-up world!! I can tell you without any hesitation that I have no problems sleeping and no problems making my bills and no problems going to work because I don't have the attitude you do!
Good night, little ones! Sleep tight!!
Not defending companies at all, but
they hire for when they need coverage.

Thank you for this post. I am weary of defending this line
I'm suddenly a "mom" again at the age of 45 when my daughter got tired of playing mommy and I don't know where she is now. I was one month in with a new company, who has been very supportive of what I'm doing, but it is a lot different since I didn't have 9 months to prepare for it. I'm getting into a routine of working before she gets up, when she naps and at night she does get her Barney and other videos where she is actually learning things BUT, I am losing sleep, I don't feel comfortable letting the TV babysit and I don't have a support network. I'm single, no family.
She will start in a mother's day out program 3 days a week next week and I think I can put together a reasonable schedule until August when she can go 5 days a week, 5 hours a day.
I don't feel guilty for my decision and don't feel "strangers" at daycare will be giving kisses that I should be giving. Why is it that in Europe several generations of a family raise the new ones and everyone in the villages know everyone and help out but not here in the US and then people demean those who use daycare. The support network is different and lacking in this country.
Sorry, I'm weary...going to bed if I can get princess to agree...
Its so amazing to me to read your huge post defending day care!
All the positives you post are "family", "family", "family". Its just like family, everyone is so close its just like family, etc. EXACTLY - its your kids real family, cause that's who they are with for the most part, that's who they are BONDING with. The day care is THEIR FAMILY, and you could be the family. The only family, cause you apparently work at home! You just don't get it! So, you put them in day care, and feel so relieved because its a "good" day care, cause its JUST LIKE FAMILY!! Its so ironic that you can't see the travesty of your own words. Well, at least their DAY CARE family wants them: 1. the adults sure do, cause you're paying them $$ to be "family", and 2. the peer group (other kids) sure want them, cause their "real" family has stuck them in day care, too!! I just so wish that some of you would realize the logic of NOT sticking your kids in day care when you COULD have them home with you. Its so sad.
You guys sound like stupid groupies defending him with such vehemence. nm

I would say pack up and run as far as you can! sm
This guy sounds like my ex-husband. I'm only hoping you don't have children.
My ex is bipolar, OCD, etc., etc., but there was never anything wrong with him. It was always everyone elses fault. I got tired of keeping the perfect little house, the perfect little yard, making sure that he was okay, making sure his eggs were perfectly cooked just right in the middle, and that the kids were okay when daddy was in "one of his moods."
When he started having an attitude with the kids (at ages 5 and 2), I finally filed for divorce. His "punishment" for me has been telling the kids that they are "worthless" because they have me for a mother and that I am "insane". When they started going through their early teen years he just stopped talking to them because they did not live up to his "expectations."
He never went to counseling, but my kids did for many years. He told everyone that his kids were in counseling because their mother was insane. Of course nobody believed him. I see his mom and his sisters out and about a lot (small town). I don't say anything about my ex because I know that it is his family, but they will occasionally say, "Well, you know how he is."
Now he lives alone now in his perfect little house with the perfect little yard and has nobody to cook his perfect eggs. Friends, family, dozens of perfect girlfriends, and his own kids finally gave up on him a long time ago. Even the cat ran away. :)
Pack and run if the "boyfriend" (obviously noncommittal to your relationship) doesn't get help.
Good luck to you.
one can short of a six pack! nm
I would tell them to pack sand
With an attitude from a doctor like that, I would refuse to do his work. There is plenty of other work out there, and there are plenty of other MTs out there. I'm sure the doctor could find someone willing to put up with his crap and I could find someone willing to show some courtesy and respect for my time. Again, I admit I am living under a rock, but I just don't see why it has to be so difficult, and why we should have to put up with so much nonsense. We are all human beings, allegedly on the same team, so why can't we work together? Is it a power struggle? If it is, I'll lose becuase I don't need to be the bigger person; I need to be able to understand the dictator so I can transcribe the report.
Service Pack 3
Service pack 3 does not work with my spell check. Does anyone know how I can keep this thing from downloading on my computer?

DQS XP home Service pack 2
Hi there. I have a new computer and run XP home edition which contains service pack 2 and have never had a problem with DQS. My brother, however, ADDED service pack 2 to his older XP professional edition and had nothing but problems and eventually took it off. However, he downloads music and stuff and doesn't really know if the service pack was the problem. (He is not a transcriptionist, so no DQS info there.)
Hi! I'm the one who never has had a glitch, and I'm on XP with service pack 2! Maybe that's
Honestly, it is the fastest smoothest platform one could imagine - seamless, really. Never a problem - sound quality is perfect. I hate to say that, cause I'm not a MQ devotee, but the platform is truly awesome!
Yes - hubby is the pack rat. I throw everything that is not being used out.
After I read the newspaper, it is in the trash. Nothing sits around. Hubby would save everything; however, he works shift work, so when he is at work, I toss things in the trast. My home is neat and clean and everything is in its place all of the time!
Taught my 2 teens to be the same way - Love neat and clean and organized!
My home is not enjoyable if crap is everywhere - in my opinion.
Same here. I just pack my keyboard and plug it in.
There is no way I could be productive on a standard laptop keyboard.
Is there anything that could be changed so it works better with Windows XP and Svc. Pack 2. What a
pain this thing is.
he has been smoking on and off 1 pack of cigarettes for 5 years.
should be good for him.
Wouldn't that pack get stale or something, yuck!
tee hee, that's just frugal I think.
Remove Service Pack 3 and go back to
Service Pack 2. I had nothing but trouble with my computer with SP3. I do not have automatic downloads turned on. I go over to the microsoft.com website occasionally and see what is new for downloading. I choose the custom settings so I know exactly what is being uploaded.
Start
Control Panel
Add or Remove Programs
Find SP3 and remove it.
You need to download the conversion pack from Microsoft
website and then you should be able to convert your documents. Not sure if it will convert from Word 2003 or 2007 to WP5.1; however, WP5.1 can be converted to Word 2003 and higher.
I hope this applies to companies like Medquist. I hope there
isn't a way they can get around it. I REALLY hope.
I am so sorry to hear this. I also had a close call with a pack of dogs.
These dogs were a very different breed. They were a spitz type (similar in type to my sweet Siberians, but not of the peaceful pack type). The dogs look like huge Shiba Inus, but when they came at my through the tall grass, it looked like we were being hunted by a pack of hyenas. Four or five of them slipped right through a flimsy excuse for a fence and surrounded me and my two dogs. Thank goodness I was there and was able to keep a cool head to bellow at those dogs to stay back as I stood between my dogs and the pack and we backed away, back to the street. Thankfully some men had heard my initial screams and came out of their yards to meet us. It took a lot of phone calls from me and other people living nearby to force her to give up those dogs. They killed one small dog in the neighborhood and had a child cornered, too. I notice this lady replaced the dogs since with some bigger dogs. Some people don't deserve to have dogs.
I am so sorry for your loss. Do whatever is necessary to secure that fence - we had to bury chicken wire around ours to keep our escape artists in, but it's worth it.
Do get pictures of those monsters outside the owner's property. That was important where we live. You might also want to put up warning signs near the owner's property warning of her dangerous dogs, with photos. Maybe that will embarrass her. Go around and collect stories about these dogs from neighbors, and have them sign the descriptions of their experiences. Then mail those in to animal control with the pictures. If that doesn't do it, call the news station and get them to come and see for themselves.
We mingle with pit bulls at the dog park here, but these are well-socialized dogs. If they ever start acting inappropriate, these owners haul them out quickly, but it's pretty rare they have to.
I'm sorry that should den of lions or pack of wolves. Gotta get the terminology right!

My conversation with you is over. You sound worse than a pack of 6th grade girls.

Norton Internet Security 2009 and Service Pack 2 or 3??
I am having a heck of a time! I have Windows XP and just purchased Norton Internet Security 2009 for my antivirus, as my previous version is just about to expire. Upon installing it it says I have to install Service Pack 2 or higher for it to work. I never installed SP2 because I read that many, many had problems with it. Should I go ahead and download SP3? Is there anything I need to do before installing it? I'm thinking of taking the computer to a professional and having them download SP3 and install it for me because it makes me really nervous! Anyone have any experience with this? What should I do?
Thanks!
family is family wheter 3 or 8 sm
i live in MA and $1200-$1400 a month is what good health insurance costs, ie $20-$40 copays. it was just passed into law that if you live in MA you have to have medical insurance so without being self-employed, you can go right to BCBS etc and get a plan directly from the major health insurace companies, but for a family plan and a decent income bracket, forget it. the prices are outragous. right now my husband pays $120 a week for family plan and this is after his employer pays 30% of the total cost. we have $20 copays, but we have a $2000 individual deductable per year with a $4000 family deductible cap. so when my daughther needed her tonsils out, $2000 and when my son broke his arm, $2000. someone on this board has to be able to tell you what they pay for insurance through their company as an employee. good luck.
No such luck. The tech wants me to update to the XP service pack 2, but I've heard that can be tr

Yeah..call me crazy but I pack it in bubble wrap and pillows..You'd be going a little further so
As far as a laptop, it's a hassle, but you can take that in a carryon bag so you know it would be knocked around. The worst part is that you have to take it out everytime you go through security at the airports but it isnt bad. I just ordered a laptop today so I can start taking that and retire my desktop..that is as long as this new adapter I just bought works like others say it will. My husband is bascially retired and I hated that he could travel without me so I quit my in-house jobs to go home this year doing transcription and now that summer is here and our little one is out of school, we're off and running. Vegas this month, then Calfornia the next..etc... I love this job!!!
Asked on the drug board...ever heard of a T-Teck Pack for pneumonia? Cant find any info on it. Help!
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
Pack years = packs smoked per day x years of smoking - sm
25 pack-years = 25 years of 1 pack a day, or 12-1/2 years of 2 packs a day.
I don't think pack-years applies to someone who smokes only cigars. But I don't know for sure.
Can they do surgery extra fast? What do they do with the extra glove in the pack?

Are you still there or did you have to leave?
nm
Why don't you leave?
I wonder why you don't leave? I know all companies have their problems but isn't this a deal breaker for you? It is getting to that point with me. It is very hard to go on faith that everything will be correct. I'm struggling with the same question. I know they pay a good line rate, but if you don't get paid for all your lines is it worth it?
Please, just leave them alone.
This person's posts aren't bothering me and I'd rather this just peter out and die.
best to leave this one alone
Have you ever heard of patient privacy? What kind of motivation did you have for Googling a patient name in the first place? There is no way you would know if you spelled it correctly from a Google unless you matched it with an SSN.
If I were your boss and you told me, I would fire you instantly just for being irrational enough to be Googling patient names. You have no business in this matter. Your physician knows something is up, so it is up to him what actions he takes from here.
We are not to judge which patients deserve privacy and which do not. You wouldn't be having this problem if you weren't doing something as questionable as Googling patient backgrounds using PHI you are only supposed to be using to transcribe the record.
Keep your mouth shut before you lose your job.
then LEAVE
if it's so bad here LEAVE. Bubbye "hon"
Leave it on...
I was told by a very savvy computer geek to ALWAYS leave it on because your computer is most vulnerable to attack by hackers/viruses etc... during the first few moments of "boot up" before your anti-virus and spyware stuff have a chance to start up. That is when they "get in" - during these first few seconds without protection.
Leave her alone! Why does everyone
here always want to pick everything apart! She made a simple mistake.
Leave MQ, duh.
Complaining is not the only way to know what it going on, just look at every other post and you will see what is going on. I agree you need support but that is why the group of you need your own blog, to have a place to go where you can get that support. Your beating the dead dog is having the opposite affect on most of us non-MQers. Instead of having sympathy, it is to the point where we are thinking," What is wrong with these people? Leave MQ!" You can only feel so much sympathy for people that aren't helping themselves and getting out of a bad situation.
Leave us alone
This has been our point all along. We have NO WORK, thus we have too much time on our hands so we can be on this board.
We are not perfect and we have great attitudes. At least we can laugh at ourselves when we want to cry.
She just needs to leave
Actually, I think she just needs to stop harrassing people.
Leave the board Tammy, you are just trying to start trouble.
Leave MQ?
Why would a reduction in pay make anyone leave this lovely company? I decided a long time ago to stay to the bitter end, but the bitter end came for me in June and I said adios amigo and KMA MQ. A lot of nice people in work flow, tech support, really great people, but there was no work to begin with and nice people don't pay my bills. I'm not sorry I went with them but sorry I had to leave because they are such a sorry company now. I had been there for seven years on the same accounts, first with YOG and then with these meatballs.
the only way i'd leave
Is if I were offered a position I couldn't refuse. I'm looking, believe you me, but for the most part, its the runaround fast talk I can see right through over the phone with these job offers i'm getting. They tell you what you want to hear, etc., to get you in the door, and once they have you, who knows what they will do to you. I do not trust these MT companies any longer. At least MQ, I can see when i'm getting screwed, I know the reputation. They have messed with me a couple of times, but I try and keep in close contact with them, keep my lines up, work my shift, just to get treated fairly, until they slack off and I have to give them a phone call. I'm on the same account now for three years, get over 9 cents a line...so I haven't had it so bad.
The only way i'd leave is for an Editor position that pays 18+ an hour with guaranteed cost of living raises, full benefit package, including PTO days. Until I find that, i'm staying put. I feel I'd be stepping from a hot bowl of soup right onto the oven burner if I leave. Its scary being so remote, you cannot trust these people running the show anymore.
I would leave it alone
As long as she remains a good student, etc. etc. as you stated in your post, I would just leave it alone for now - unless something changes drastically. Pick your battles wisely.
