So tell us about her. What type of dog? Funny stories? Sweet stories? Just like when a human pas
sharing of memories can help. I have two dogs, one is 9 and the other 10. I actually cry thinking that something might happen to them, so I cannot imagine how you feel but I do know that "talking" about it can be very healing.
RE: Possible Partner
I am the owner of a small MTSO. I am interested in discussing with someone who also owns a small MTSO as well about possibly teaming up to expand and market for new business; building up gradually. Interested in private practices and/or clinics. Please contact me if this is something you might be interested in. Thank you.
Shorthand partner
It used to be called "MedBrain," but not sure if it's available anymore. There is something with the same name for MTs, but it looks different than it used to.
Love Atkins, but can't get my partner to go along with it. sm
We tried it back a couple of years ago and I lost 35 lbs in 4 weeks. The weight just falls off. We took a cheat meal once a week so we could have whatever it was that we craved that week.
The problem with Atkins is it needs to be lived as a lifestyle, not as a fad diet. Being off carbs can skewer your body's ability to handle carbs, so if you go back to eating carbs, you are worse off than before.
In the lifestyle, though, you can go back to eating some carbs after you lose the weight, but still it is not so much. But keeping the water off to me is worth it all.
I am doing a low-carb, low-fat diet now, which I am adjusting to as a lifestyle, but we still take a day off from it all each week to eat what we want on that day. I am at my lowest weight in 3 years and feeling wonderful. The exercise helps so much too in the energy department and also keeps the anxiety I am prone to away from my psyche.
Heh ... twice the price cuz they're an AAMT business partner! - nm
only the companies that partner with each school will waive the experience
you need to ask those three schools more about that option. The services that don't partner with the schools are not likely to waive the experience.
Mostly silent
Once in awhile I have the radio on but rarely. Used to have it on all the time, but I do constant ESL now. I do a lot of messenging with other MTs just to keep the boredom away. :)
Silent Type
Can anyone give me info on Silent Type? Thanks
re:silent type
i applied with them and they replied quickly. but unless you live close to new jersey, they need you at their office for, if i remember right, a 2-day training that they reimburse up to $500. i live in Hawaii so i couldnt afford the trip even with the reimbursement. but, heard a lot of good things about them.
Silent type
What do you need to know?
Silent Type
I was offered a position and needed feedback from current employees if possible. Since I have to travel to New Jersey at my own expense for training, it would be helpful to know if they are a good company to work for. Thanks in advance.
Silent Type YES!! (sm)
I have worked for Silent Type and they are flexible with a 24 hour TAT... Meaning you could start Sunday night and have ur pages done before Monday (whenever your call in time to have minimum 40 pages done). The are a basically family oriented company. I have nothing but good things to say. They never run out of work. Have been in business almost 25 or 25+ years. Plus, the CEO is an author, RN, and much more!!
Silent Type
Thank you for the info. I had read in the archives some negative posts. This puts my mind at ease.
Has anybody ever tried the silent keyboard that can be
rolled up like a newspaper? If not, any suggestions for a good silent keyboard.
silent keyboard
Hi
I sell silent keyboards - check us out at - www.clitheroelancs.co.uk - admittedly it does take a couple of days to familiarise yourself but the keys dont need to be pressed hard. The difference is that there isnt the noisy feedback associated with standard keyboards. PS we have a silent mouse arriving this week, i am using the prototype & its great but the lack of a click is a bit strange at first.
Silent Type
This company left an E-mail on my computer...never heard of them. They are promising everything and more, of course.
Any thoughts about them or experience with them?
Thanks
Silent Type
Silent Type was one of the companies that offered me a job. They were in my top five best companies from which to choose. I didn't choose them, only because I would have had to fly to New Jersey for a minimum of three days to train. I have a husband, two kids, and two dogs at home; being gone from them for that long would have seriously disrupted our "routines." Silent Type will reimburse you, up to $500.00, for your travel expense AFTER you've been with them for six months. Also, their payment system seemed kind of funky to me. They pay by the page, instead of by the line. According to my calculations, I would not have made as much money as I need to; however, my calculations may have been "off." Anyway, I'm happy with the company I chose. Let us know what you decide to do. :)
silent type
Thanks Jan. I e-mailed the recruiter asking about training, page/lines, etc., and you're right. They pay by the page....their training is in N.J. (I'm in Calif.) and as far as I can see the 500.00 pertains to their equipment....I nicely told her no thanks. It might be OK for somebody else, but not for me. And, I sure don't want to go to N.J. in the winter!
silent keyboard
Does anyone know if there is a silent keyboard made or a very, very quiet one?
I bet others have better stories than me even!

Thanks for your stories! sm
They were very encouraging. I applied with my old company. I doubt they'll take me back, but it's worth a try!
Two different stories on this.
One daughter is a pharmacy tech at a big hospital in Mpls does very well, been there 10 or so years. The other daughter did it at Walgreens for a over minimum wage but that was in Mpls, too, and you make more at everything up there. Neither one ever spent money on a course. But the fomer is certified, she learned it on the job. The former also has a GED. I applied at the 'greens and never heard a peep back, guess they want 16-year-olds they can pay minimum wage. This is the south where you don't get a job of any kind unless you're somebody's cousin.
silent. hmmm... cat got your tongue?
IMHO, you don't want silent...you want quiet. sm
Keyclicks do provide important feedback.
These were great stories. Thanks!

These are some great stories....thank you...nm

My husband is a CPA, and I can tell you stories!
You need to a find a good accountant to set you up and show you the ropes. My husband usually takes new businesses and sets them up with Quicken and provides lots and lots of help as far as payroll taxes, deductions and of course, the business and personal tax returns that you file. This is NOT a do-it-yourself job! He has been brought in to sort through disasters and clean up DIY messes, and it's horrible. Lots and lots of money gets spent on those sorts of things.
All these stories! My goodness
I switch back and forth each and every day I am working. The place I work for is a teaching hospital, therefore we have interns and those are never on VR. What is hard between working both ways? Another story that really just does not make sense.
Silent Type is not a bad company to work for but
Depending on how many pages you type determines what your page rate is and everyone gets paid the same because of it. Obviously, like with any other company the more you produce, the more money you will make. Bi-annual bonuses, again based on your production. Starts at 40 page per day min (which is supposed to be 1000 lines) is $1.50. I think it does to 1.80 per page somewhere around 80 pages per day.
Not sure about the benefits (health insurance). You get paid every other week. Not a very large company, maybe 400 or less TLs.
If you like working for a friendly, family atmosphere, check it out.
Not Silent Type! Less than $1.75/page and you go to NJ to train. nm

thanks

I love reading stories like this!
It makes me realize that I CAN do it! I'm a new MT, so I'm going to get a couple of years experience first. Then I'm going to go out and get my own accounts. Thank you. Keep posting positive things--it's so helpful!
I don't know, I found quite a few of these stories on searching.....
Here's another:
http://blog.imperfectparent.com/tag/oregon/
I suspect we will see stories like these more and more on both sides soon
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071228/ap_on_re_as/japan_ambulance_death
Oh, the stories I could tell on the Post Office.
The short story is that since the rates were raised the service has declined. My PM, an acquaintence through my kids' school, doesn't even want to hear my voice on the other end of the line because he knows that something else is messed up.
You got some great responses! These stories
Humans do make mistakes.
Don't feel bad. It may not be the last your mistake either, brain burps can happen at any time. No reflection on you or your skills -- it just happens.
Great stories people!! I read all of them and I been laughing my buttocks off!! 
Hey, Brandi! I remember your stories about those days...
lol! Too funny. Yah, you Transquickers certainly did live on the wild side. I'm sure some still do!
Our stories sound so similiar...listen to this
My daughter was in preschool last year, 3 mornings a week. I would hear the same thing about her all the time. At the end of the year, they wanted her to go to the "junior kindergarten" which the school offered. Looking at the curriculum, it was basically full day preschool, 5 days a week (and since it was a private school, it ran about $310 a month!). Her teacher pulled me aside when I was picking her up one day, just about a year ago, and said that there was no way she was ready for kindergarten. She said she was too "in her own world." She wasn't ready to sit and listen, was immature, etc., etc. I, too, came home and cried. We thought about home school at that point, but I know that I am not disciplined enough for that, just didn't have the time to work and do it as well as seek out social situations for her at the same time. So we just said forget it...we put her in the public school kindergarten. I figured I'd just get calls and notes home from the teacher, until they finally pulled her out when they realized she wasn't ready. So, guess what? No notes, no calls. First teacher conference...she was doing very well. She would ask the teacher a lot of questions that she already knew the answer to, but she was sitting at her table, participating etc. Last teacher conference in March, the teacher said she was just doing amazing. She was an angel and a joy in the class. She does her work, she participates, she gets along with the other kids. On her testing, as far as letters sounds, counting, etc., she's far ahead of where she should be. Again, I went home and cried..because I was so proud and so happy...and yes, I felt that the humiliation of a year ago (that teacher pulled me aside with many other parents around) had been vindicated. Good luck to you. It is going to be okay..really.

Have you considered writing short stories?

I would never have... too many horror stories from friends/instructors that did! nm
s
After reading all the horror stories on this board - sm
about the flaky way so many MTSO's operate, I think only the newest of the newbies would interview for a position without also interviewing ABOUT the position. It's a 2-way street, you know. If an MT is asking you questions up front, rather than waiting to find out AFTER hiring on with you that the job's not a good fit, that would waste time and money for both of you. It sounds like she looks before she leaps, and that she has a good head on her shoulders. She's obviously interviewing for more than one position, and doesn't want to go any further until she's also checked with a few more job possibilities. Judging by what you wrote in your post, my guess is she's experienced, and doesn't want to get the runaround at a poorly-run or fly-by-night operation.
Good - Keystrokes, MDI-MD, Acusis, Silent Type. Bad - MQ, MDI-FL, Transolutions, Healthscribe. nm

I've heard other horror stories by adoptees.
Their families telling them they're lucky they got adopted and that they should be more grateful and what not. I swear, people should have to get a license before they become parents. I'll be the first to tell you I was not the best parent in the world, but at least I made sure my daughters knew they were wanted and loved - even during those rare times when they weren't! LOL.
Call your doctor - this is not a doctor forum! nm

Maybe the doctor
usually sees people with superpowers.
What about the ED ones that say to see your doctor if you have, sm
an erection for over 4 hours. Now I quickly switch the channel if my child or my parents are in the room when those commercials come on.
doctor
I only have 1 doctor and 2 nurse practitioners who speak english - so I don't have to learn any foreign accents.
It isn't the doctor. They have to pay big $$ for
malpractice insurance, which is the main reason the visits are so high. They also have huge college loans to pay off.
