I get it. But in return for supporting the small business the poor folk get nothing in return.
I understand why you don't shop at Walmart. You support those who support you but it doesn't work that way for me. I can go to an independent shop and by a dishwasher, pay lots more for it and get nothing in return to supplement my support of their small business. Same for all the poor folk who are shopping in Walmart trying to stretch a paycheck. I am glad Walmart exists for those folks.

Try googling the city, county where he used to live. In my county ALL court records are on the internet now.
I finally divorced my husband of 27 years, he started drinking heavy and became a monster, after the last 5 starting with emotional abuse, refusing intervention (even his family would not talk to him), it took one night and one night only when he got physical and I got my child and myself out and never look back.
It's not easy to start over but once they strike, they can apologize from now to kingdom come, promise it will never happen again but it does.
Contact your local YWCA. They usually have court advocates along with domestic violence hotlines. Please talk to them and they can answer all your questions and give you the support you need.
Get out now before it get's worse. Your in my prayers.

I just want to know WHAT IS UP lately with all of the LOW, LOW, LOW cpl rate being offered on the job seeker's board?????? I thought that the cost of living always went UP, not DOWN, but the pay being offered for medical transcription is RIDICULOUS. I'm sorry, I just have to put in my 2 cents' worth. We work our fingers to the bone, some days all day long, some weeks all week long, if we work at home we are never really away from work, it's too easy to pop into the office and work a little because it's always there, and 5, 6, or 7 cpl????!!!!???? Come ON people! Offer more than that! We are WORTH it!!! We can't feed our families, pay insurance, house payments, car payments, kids' college tuition, etc., on these sorely low amounts. I mean, there are newbies out there who will gladly those offers, and I'm certainly not knocking newbies, I was once one myself, but most all of the job offers I've looked at lately aren't offering to pay anymore tha 5, 6, or 7 cpl, and there are more than just newbies looking at this job seeker board! Thanks for listening!!

I was so irritated when I posted this message I didn't proofread it. Yes, for those of you who will bash me for that, I do know I made the errors.

can you post an update and let us know how many signatures you got and what has happened with the petition? Thanks.

I too have been offered the apprenticeship program at Focus and after asking several questions was told that I would move to editing after I passed the program. I'm worried because of the things I've read about them withholding your paycheck if you have any errors in your reports -- do you know how often this occurs? And how often do they pay you? I am concerned because we will be paying for daycare up front and if I for any reason have an error that makes them keep my whole paycheck (and subsequently makes me unable to pay for daycare), I am going to kill somebody
...I have had 98.7+ accuracy in my previous job as an MT, so maybe I have nothing to worry about and should just take the offer?
As far as I'm concerned
I don't know either one of them so I really have no opinion one way or the other. Unless you are privy to everything that happened or you know them personally, I can't understand why people are so up in arms about any of this.
Should we be concerned?
In our log of jobs, "PowerScript Transcription" is listed as having done one job. Does this signal the end of my job? Is this how it happens? ::gulp::
Is anyone else concerned about Howie?
He is almost certainly going to be evicted from the Big Brother House by that evil April, Maggie and Yvette. He was a RIOT (loved his obsession with "boobies")...
To Very Concerned Re: Transform sm
I work there, have for about a year. I got that same paper and now I cannot find what I did with it. Do you think it is something we should be really concerned over? I cannot find it to see what it was about. Thanks.
I think it is thoughtful of you and you should not be too concerned if (sm)
someone thought it "weird" as gifts are given from the heart and yours seems to be overflowing!!! It is so nice to see someone actually more worried about giving this year than receiving!! I work from home as well for a small MTSO and I will follow in your footsteps!!!
as far as books are concerned
They way i look at it don't take them basically you can find everything you would need by googling or if necessary post on here!
and until then, I'm not concerned with what AAMT/JC has to say. NM

As far as the social situation is concerned, get
him in cub scouts, community sports, etc. This is really not an educational issue IMO and not the responsibility of the school system.
The school system in most cases will try to do as little as possible for your child, but if you have a diagnosis, you can write an IEP and they have a legal obligation to follow it, whether they like it or not. They also have to provide testing, like it or not, but we always had ours done on our own as I didn't feel like I would get an honest evaluation from the school system.
Absolutely NOT. If they are that concerned about their information, they
can send you a brand new computer at no charge or at a small rental fee per month. Otherwise for them to access your computer without your permission is considered hacking. It sounds as if the MTSO or tech person is paranoid or nosy and trying to bully you into something they have no legal right to do. My response would be to write NO on the form, do not sign it, and tell them what I just said here.
I'd be more concerned with the company whose tapes
and CD's you've gotten if you attempt to sell the use of them for learning purposes. I think there'd be some copyright issue there since you'd be making money with their product that is intended for personal use (maybe, I'm not really sure how that'd work). I think they'd have a bigger issue with you than the local colleges.
everyone has worth and value. if God wasn't concerned with your value
He would have let us die in sin.
He didn't.
I don't hate you or anyone who has faces this. I just know that whether we personally like what God has stated, we must abide by it and He can give deliverance, if we want salvation.
God bless.
Hugs to you. We really do care and are concerned. nm

I understand why you're concerned. Its not
so much that you need to mind your own business in that you don't want to end up losing the account because some other dimwit MT is not following the rules. I don't know what I'd do either, but don't blame yourself and think its none of your business. It 100% is your business. Again, I have worked as an IC and lost accounts because of other MTs who just won't follow directions....so I wouldn't want to see that happen to you either. Sorry for your situation.
As might Hillary Clinton, who is also concerned. (nm)
.
Yup. It's required reading, as far as I'm concerned.
I see WAY too many MTs just sort of doing their own thing (usually incorrectly). Several places I've worked at require using the BOS as your guideline. I know I would if I owned my own service or were the manager of an MT department. It gives us all one common language, one standard.
Nope. None of my doctors are concerned with someone else's
idea of what is correct or required.
Talk and ask questions. You may be concerned
x
Shouldn't the doctors be concerned?
Maybe put me on something other than indomethacin? I have spent so much time trying to research this, and either I am not looking up the right things, or there simply is not much information out there. I am very confused and kind of scared about ruining my kidneys while the doctors blow it off.
Frankly, I am not too concerned with offshore
MTs that give up their control to a company until their lives are adversely affected.
I do believe the JC is only concerned with files being complete as in
up to date - not gramatically correct.
Return it
Return the thing before your thumbs fall off.
You could try prying off the space bar and cleaning underneath it - maybe something is stuck under there. I have found four-course meals under mine. Otherwise, an exchange or return is probably your best bet.
See Main Board for a discussion on keyboards if you are interested.
I would definitely return it and have them

as an IC how do you get ANY RETURN?
ive been an IC for 10 years and only ONE TIME got a return, which was the bush tax cut of $600.00
I never used to pay quarterleys and would get hit with a huge amount in April... and then two years ago owed like 10K in back taxes, (apparently hadn't paid enough) putting me into credit card debt, which i never had before, so disappointing.
I'd be careful if i were you!
Now I take 30% of EVERY paycheck and pay quarterleys, just not online. i need to figure that one out
LOA with return to job
Your job should be safe. You would be eligible for FMLA at the very least, I think. Nothing works better for what you are describing than time off. I had to take 4 weeks off earlier this year due to an injury, and my mind needed the rest. It is so much better now that I'm back. A mental break never hurt anyone.
Would you return to MT if.....
Here is the gist of my question. I stopped working as a MT to homeschool my children and be a stay-at-home mom. Hubby said I had enough to do just by schooling them so I quit my career. My youngest will be done in three years. I will be around 50 years old at that time....Would you go back to school or would you come back to MT? Is it worth it? I know it has started paying less, but honestly, it was paying less back then...can we say MQ and manipulated line counts here.....
I am kicking around the idea of going after a degree in something ? Honestly, I never knew who or what I wanted to be in this life. I just kind of fell into transcription. But I am also looking at I know transcription very well....it really doesn't sound like it has changed a whole lot since the time I left, and do I really want to be going to 'school' at 50 years of age??? ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/sowhat.gif)
I would appreciate your advice, insight, wisdom of life learning experiences, etc.
Thank you.
on return to MT
If you don't need to work, stay home. Travel. Do your family tree. I would give anything right now if I could stay home and not work. I would love to be able to just putter around my house, fixing things and repairing things, working in the yard. I hate being an MT and only do it to pay my mortgage and provide food. I hate transcribing so many doctors who don't really even know what they are talking about half the time and all the unnecessary tests they run when if they would use clinical judgement, they would not waste so much money and running up patient's bills. But of course that is the objective, running all the tests and as many tests as possible to keep the hospital in business. But if you should not have insurance, no matter how long you have been going to a doctor, they drop you like a hot potato. The whole health care business makes me sick.
MQ is a trendsetter. We should all be concerned about this. They probably hope many will quit.

We've all had these and as far as I am concerned, we all should be paid extra!!! NM

Chantix - Anyone use it to quit smoking? I am most concerned sm
about the nausea. I have been hearing it is pretty bad for at least 1/3 of the people who have used it. I have a generally touchy stomach as it is. Please post your comments here or by email
I gather from your post, you're concerned
about the computer. Ethically, you should not use it to do another job. Legally, if your company specifically stated not to use it for personal use (i.e. surfing the net, working another job, paying bills, etc), you should not use it. Some companies have Spyware on the computers they supply you with and can track your usage of it. Although I doubt most companies would go after you for using it to do your banking, working another job on it may be an issue. It would be best to check with your human resources dept to see what the policy is on personal use of the computer before downloading another company's platform. You may also need to take into consideration whether your present company will need to dial into your computer for any reason and see the new platform on it.
Although I wasn't working a second job on a company-provided computer, I did store my personal photos and had a couple of games on it for my kids. When I had a problem and tech support dialed in to my computer, they saw it and told me I needed to remove those items. They told me they wouldn't report me or anything, but that they are supposed to report such things and to please remove them. I did immediately and haven't added a thing to that computer since. When I started a second job (to eventually phase out the first), I bought a used computer for a while until I could afford a new one. I'm too much of a worrywart or scaredycat and didn't need something else to stress over.
IF IT'S THE PHYSICAL STRAINS YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT...SM
How many waitresses do you see in their 60s and early 70s doing a job that would rival any nursing job as far as physical strai?. You might want to look on the NURSING BOARD, where they have students 58-59 y/o just starting nursing school; I'm among them, even though I have prior nursing education and need to finish up a few months/years.
If you think a full-fledged RN program might be too much to carry at this point, have you considered an LPN course for 12 months FT or 18 months PT study? LPNs make a fair salary, even as newbies ... beats this MT "indentured servitude".

Thanks, Dixie. I couldn't even remember what the "thingy" was called. LOL Talk about rhythm...click, click, click, fling the thingy, click, click, click...never missing a beat. And you're right, that purple stuff would gag a magot! How the HECK did we do it. This has been a fun thread. One can only wonder what stories the younger generation will have to tell when they're the "seniors." One thing I can't figure....I used to work 6 days a week, carried cloth diapers to the washateria, didn't have a dishwasher, no a/c, etc. etc and STILL seems like I had more hours in my 24 hour day than I have now. What gives?
I think you have a return programmed
after the last word in shorthand. Always make sure your cursor is at the end of the last character in your expanded term and it will not do that.
I did MT before becoming a nurse, return afterwards. sm
Hated nursing. It wasn't all that I thought it would be. I found I could make more being an MT and with a heckuva lot less stress and backbreaking labor.
Return receipt sm
Years ago (many) I would have put the address, either block form to the left or tab to the middle for semi-block form and under the SUBJECT: or RE: line, I would have put Certified Mail No. 112233 or Registered mail # 112233 and then "return receipt requested" on that same line or underneath. If there is no subject, put it before the salutation. Today, I probably would put it under the initials at the bottom of the letter, in block form, just because I would like the appearance of it better, i.e.,
Sincerely yours,
(4 spaces)
Melissa M. Anonymous
MAM (or the dictator's initials and then yours)
Sent via certified mail #112233 - 3/9/06, return receipt requested.
I don't think it really matters. If you don't have a # yet, just put "Sent via certfied mail 3/9/06, return receipt requested." Don't take my word for it though, unless you don't find any samples, this is just my 2 cents.

When I return my work to the doc - sm
I send them a list of which reports had a blank, what the blank was (i.e. Dr. name I could not locate or a drug name usually); and also a list of what patients on the list did not have dictations. That is it. The ball is in their court then.
Look at last year tax return
If you worked last year look at your tax return and see how much taxes you had to pay based on what you made. Compare wages to this year and if they are about the same you will know how much to withhold or put aside. If your husband works, have him over withold an extra amount or if you work as an employee at another job have them overwithold. Be sure to take off your deductions to get your NET income and not your gross. Good luck.
If you end up not using the adapter, return it to

They held my return
They held my return as the name on the W2 did not match my SS#. Had to change it. Also with all of the problems with illegals it might even be tighter now. Good luck, why don't you just change it???
