That's exactly what I did - moved on - let them find their own people
nm
Because...I worked so hard to find it. You can to if you try..nm

Yes, they have - I worked in management for a time.
Yes, I have seen the contracts. Yes, I have had the accounts I managed flat out change their direction mid contract because they want to cut that cost and go to offshore.
YES, I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
What an ostrich you and others are for thinking that the American public and facilities do not know anything about offshoring or want it. This was going on way before this economy took a nosedive and now it is even worse.
If you don't take the time to find to do things
that give you joy you'll become a bitter old woman and you'll always have regrets that you gave so much of yourself to your job.
My mother died of cancer, she fought it for 17 years, but she was just 50 when she got it and the chemo damaged her heart so that she had no quality of life and she wanted to go to the beach one more time.
My father worked hours and hours, OT and weekends, and neglected his family, not out of financial need - not sure why exactly. He developed Alzheimer's in his early 60s, was not able to enjoy retirement and it didn't matter that he had $100,000 in the bank because he didn't know who he was, didn't know who I was, was in diapers, couldn't feed himself, etc.
Make the time to do what you enjoy, if only for 15 minutes a day. If $$ is an issue, use coupoons, buy off brands, shop yard sales, etc.
You can work until you last breath and they'll still be calling you to help with the backlog. The company doesn't care about you, doesn't care if your children are sick, if your parents are dying, if you are puking your guts out, so why should you kill yourself for the company.
Do you find it time consuming
preparing everything? I need to get back on it and the only showstopper is time. The last time I was on it (obviously didn't stick to it) I lost 25 pounds but found preparing the meals and snacks was time consuming. Please Email me. Thanks.
I find that if I slow down and actually take time
to use my ShortHand Expander properly, my lines go way up. If I just start typing faster and using only the small 1 or 2 word abbreviations I use all the time, I get no where fast. You see, I have thousands and thousands of abbreviations, but the real time saver is the phrases and normals I have at my disposable. I just have to slow down and watch the Shorthand window. It may seem like you are wasting time scanning the list of abbreviations, but it's the only way to really churn out the lines. You also tend to make fewer mistakes requiring backspacing when you slow down and pay attention to the abbreviations window.
I would try to find something part time (sm)
in acute care, even if it is 7 cpl. Keep your other job, but do the acute care to get the experience. You will probably be slow and have to look up a lot, but the more you do it, the better you will be at it and then you will be able to move to a different company with better pay.
It will kill 2 birds with 1 stone. You get more money either way.
time to find a new cardiologist!
If that doctor admittedly is more concerned with saving a few dollars than he is with the quality of his patient's medical records, then who knows where else he might be cutting corners - and how much he's overcharging his patients!
Your mom definitely needs to thank him for his honesty regarding what is most important to him and then inform him she won't be putting her life in his hands any longer!
By dates. Find a time when you SM
are relaxed. Then go back, starting from course completion or first job. Just go date by date until current. Funny you mentioned this, since I was just reviewing mine. It's not easy when you're tired, so if you are a Nightowl, try it in the morning or any quiet time. I don't believe you need to put exact dates, just the year and any person who was your supervisor or anyone you want as referral. There are also sites online that might help, but not with your dates. :)
Example: (Basic)
MT course completion: 1990.
Smith Hospital 1991.
MQ 1991-Fall 1991.
Jones Hospital 1992.
MQ 1992-1993.
List all types of work done. All of them.
I started using it when I worked for Rodeer. They had used PRD at one time
I like the simplicity of it, and the fact that's it's fast compared to others I've used. I'm not sure why that is.
It doesn't have any prompt that reminds you of your expansion, so you have to have a system of remembering, which is another thing I prefer. The reminders only get in my way and slow down my production.
I worked at Wendy's too, for a short time (sm)
They had me working early morning shifts on Saturdays and I think they picked a wrong time for me LOL
One particular morning I was frying bacon for breakfast and early lunch burgers. Seems there was supposed to be a bucket under the grill, toward the back part, to catch all of this grease from the bacon. I kept scraping it into that little hole and a few batches later, I noticed I was slipping and sliding! There was bacon grease all over that floor!!!! I didn't fry bacon anymore. I became the drink person. ahahahaha!!
I worked part-time in a hospital sm
radiology department for a copule years and they did the floppy disk thing. They were huge compared to now. We didn't have a main frame at that time. Your format stuff was on the "system disk" you put in on the left nad then your disk with your work went into the right hand slot. It was this big huge monster of a "computer" thing.
Haven't worked for SS for a long time but they do have the best
sound files of any company I have ever seen. They have a very decent platform, as well. I think it is just management is a little off-balance at times.
Has anyone worked as a housecleaner part time?
I was just hired on for about 15 hours a week to supplement my MT income (or lack thereof). I'll be cleaning residential homes. Anyone ever do this for awhile to help pay bills, and if so, how bad is it?? : )
I had one for 3 years and it worked fine the whole time.
Actually, I have not worked as a full time MT for nine years
and that's the problem. Is there hope for me to get back in to MT even though I've been out of it for so long. I did work part-time from home from the lab for about two years after that.

I, too, worked most of the weekend part-time....sm
We had Thursday and Friday as holidays, but since I knew there was a backlog and that it would truly be appreciated by my bosses, I dug in from time to time and we got the backlog caught up for today. I truly treasure my bosses and love my job, and all the co-workers I talk to feel the same way. We really do appricate and value a great MTSO and we prove it!!
If I worked full time I would make
at least $40,000 per year at my job. I only work part because just tired of working all the hours I have in the past. The majority of my work is VR (about 95%) and straight but am fast. I don't have a lot put in Expanders but do well over 3000 lines per day total.
If I worked full time I would make
almost $35,000 a year, made more than that in the 80s, just do not want to work full anymore.
I don't think it is a waste of time, nor do I find it long to do at all
Don't feel ill - it look me a very long time to find it and you can too.
Search, search and search some more. You will be surprised what you can find. It takes time, but those accounts are out there. How do you think MTSO and large MT companies get accounts? A little research and many phone calls.
Find my reports changed all the time.
In ChartScript you can view and edit previous reports. Anyway, I have found tons of my work which I know is not the way I typed it. I just let it go and so far have they have not said anything. If, however, I was told about these mistakes I would say something even though I know QA would be right. Agree, they think they know it all and some really don't know jack.
No but I wish people would take the time to find this information. sm
Sometimes it just takes the effort to look. I see people wanting information. The information is easy to find, but they want others to do the research and hand it to them. I had to do the research. I now have 20+ docs/clinics BUT key point is I did all of my own research, learned about how digital works, etc. I truly believe, the more you read (research) the more you as an individual will learn and therefore be able to offer your clientm more.
Sounds like time to find different co to test for.

When you stop caring, it is time to find
It does not matter if you do QA or greet people at Wal-Mart, if you don't care it is time to find something else to do.
It isn't just about you that QA makes these changes. QA is doing their job to their employer's expectations. Either take it as constructive criticism or leave, but don't make someone else pay for your lack of concern. Having done everything in a medical office from scheduling appointments to transcription to bill collection, I can honestly say that quality matters - it matters to someone, somewhere - and if you are not in that loop, please for the rest of us that still care even after close to 30 years of this business, please, please take yourself to someplace you can be happy.
I do not agree with every nick-picking change QA makes, but I don't dwell on it or stop caring. I keep plugging away at doing the best job I can. I am doing something where I make good money and feel like I have an impact on patient care without having face-to-face patient contact or co-employee issues that come with working on-site.
So, go, shoo, get, go on now. Let me have your work.
I worked part-time for someone like that and they used the QA % to keep from paying bonuses
the QA % to keep from paying bonuses and I think that is so wrong. I no longer work for them.
Most of the reports that I had sent in were sent because the quality of the file was bad. it had a lot of skips and jumps in it and it could not be filled in.
They required 10%. The closest I got was 33%.
I think it is so wrong to require a %.
My child worked part-time at 14 after school
She started at minimum wage and now is an office coordinator and medical assistant for 2 surgeons making much better money (and goes to school at night). She didn't work at 14 to pay for her stuff. She stashed all the money away as she had always done with birthday and holiday money and so at 17 she bought her own car! This child amazes me - she GOT the work ethic!!!! *lucky mom here* Actually it was more than luck....it was hard work on my part but it ALL paid off. A lot of it was based on my own insanity. I had to know if, G_d forbid something happened to me, that she could support herself, take care of herself, earn a good living, and keep on keepin' on in a forward-moving pattern. She is doing just that!!
Proud mother here....
Thanks for the link. I will update as soon as I can find time to learn it.

Only one word or phrase at a time with Find & Replace.
you need to find someone who can write (not record) a macro that can find more than one word.
Have never known shift lead who just worked 8 hours a day for 5 days. By the time they
:+
actual typing time versus hours worked-venting here
I just have to vent about companies that keep track of your actual "typing time" and then say you are not putting in your 40 hours. I always come up short and not by just a few hours. They have said I worked only 60 hours when I worked 80. But they say "their system is not wrong."
For one thing when you look up old reports or do research on-line or if you walk to the fridge, that shouldnt count as "not working" as long as you are getting your line rate. Also something is wrong because I dont take that much time looking up things.
Also how can they get by with making you work 40 hours when you are paid "production?" This is wrong. Either pay me by the hour or leave me alone!!
What is going on when every time you start computer - there are numerous empty folders, cannot find
nm
Thanks ... guess I'll have to check it out some time ... like I need to find more ways to goof of

Explain you took on 2 acct at same time but find it impossible to do adequate job for 2 accts.
:P
I *only* make $40K a year for full time work. Now I find that isn't decent is or fair?
nm
my take is that she worked inhouse, not at home, and now wants to find out how to work at home. nm

Every company is different -- I worked FT for one as an employee but worked a split shift - sm
So I never took breaks. I would work 5 hours, break for about 4 hours then do another 3. Another company I worked for did not care what hours you worked (IC) but wanted a min. amount of work each day, 500 for PT and 1000 for FT-- BUT they paid you by how many lines an hour you put out, the higher the lph the higher up the scale you made per line in pay; they have since changed everyone to a flat rate with incentive. But bottom line, if you are an IC it does not matter what hours you work, though many ask for a schedule and ask you to stick to it, they just want you to meet line requirements daily, i.e. 1000 per day, 1200 per day, whatever it is.
I just moved from PA
to the Bay Area and I have to agree, it is more expensive to live in the northeast and it does not seem like there are any type of programs to help people out. Here in CA PG&E is offering everyone regardless of economic status a rebate if they are able to conserve 10% this winter. Whereas I just read a while ago that in the PA they recently passed some kind of law or the like where the electric/gas company can turn people's electric/gas off in the middle of winter. That is just cruel.
that is what I moved from
Last neighborhood I came from was brand new and in 3 years turned into the hood. I know exactly what you are talking about. That is why I am so irritated to feel like I am back there with just 1 neighbor who happens to be my closest one. They are screaming as we speak. Agh!
It gets moved around, but it is definitely out there.
We've gotten 81 entries from people who have FOUND IT so far! Keep lookin!
GOOD LUCK!
They are still using that but have moved to
Word - I just remember typing in WP 5.1 and it was a dream come true - don't remember the demos being slow - but I'm not all that speedy so may have been
go to chat room on web site and find out. i'm working but if you find out, let me know.
creepy dude.
I moved very close to but not on ...
Makemoney Avenue.
Considering the taxes I pay, I think I should have bought the one on that street.
Also moved to Amherst
All these different accounts every day - it's so hard to keep everything straight. I am so slow and less productive now - and who is there to call - do you know we got swallowed by Amherst and I have no contact information for anyone. It's so darn depressing!
Fired from one and moved to another
What is the point
I'm from Portland, but we moved to SM
Nebraska last July. (We actually lived in Gresham.) I really miss Oregon so much! I worked at Kaiser and loved it there.
I thought the program at Mt. Hood Community College was really great. It really prepared a new MT.
:) Are you from the Portland area? If you went to the AAMT convention last May I was there! My first convention. It was fun.
Have a great day, Patti! :)
Chickadee
No......I never had this happen until I moved to VA - sm
Before that lived in PA and MD, no one ever took my bags out to my car (or even asked), so no, this is not the norm.
Who has moved from company to
company the most times? I had steady work and employed many years before I started working at home for nationals.
Has anyone ever moved to another country and kept their job? sm
I want to know this because my fiancee is in the military and will be going to the UK for a few months and I want to go with him but keep my job. Is this even possible?
Thanks
I thought they had moved
I had been hearing that this board was now being run by an offshore company, but I wasn't sure. Oh well, I'll wait for MTstars.net to get up and running.
This relates to all MTs so I have moved it here. (nm)
