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.
Could you e-mail the company you work for? sm
I need to start trying this. Been an MT over 28 years and now seriously thinking about this. Need a change and my hands could use a change too.
LOL, we just had this discussion thru e-mail at my company yesterday!...sm
Sometimes they get so confused down thru the list, that I am no longer sure what number we are on. Number next would be great, we can count! I always thought they said the numbers to keep track of what diagnosis, medication, etc they were on. Guess not?? 
click on "reply by e-mail" and you can ask me questions about this company...sm
I think when you post your original message you can put your e-mail in that. ??? In any case, feel free to e-mail me with questions you have and I'll do my best to answer them for ya.
Nope, not same company... but it sickens to hear what these companies get away with nm

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

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.

Hear, hear! I agree with Dakota - sm
The MTSO should be giving feedback to the hospital/doctors who slur, speak too rapidly, etc. They need to pull up their socks! And there's no reason why these doctors shouldn't be given an outline of what is expected from them when they dictate, such as cell phones, chewing food, candy, gum, etc.
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?
OJ is what helps me
I think it is the sugar in the juice because no one tells you that smoking digests food quicker (read that somewhere) so it will take longer for a person who stopped smoking to feel better after eating... So when I feel low I drink some juice... hope this helps
Thank you so much - yes that helps! nm

My Stedman's spell check accepts antiinflammatory. I read somewhere that we are we are not supposed to hyphenate unless the nonhyphenated word form is another separate word. I do not remember the examples they gave, but it did make sense.

Yes, that helps, thanks.
Not sure if this helps
Perhaps they gave you a generic contract or info sheet, you need to ask if you are to print and return or send back and they print. Also call in services charge per minute of dictation anywhere from 0.18 to 0.10 per minute of dictation. So more than how many lines, you need to know minute as if they are stuttering a lot or going through a chart and not dictating you will be charged for the minutes that they use whether dictating or not. What city/state are you in, will you be contracting out, and again find out if you have to print or they print. Sometimes the contracts that they send our are generic and do not specify which services you will be providing and you need to clarify that. So you need to ask a few more questions, also see if they deduct or penalize if you do not meet your TAT. But without know the above, to me it would be like throwing a dart at a dart board trying to make a bullseye.

This helps me........sm
I get up and wrap my arms around myself in a big bear hug as tight as I can to stretch out the back muscles. I bend over and let my arms dangle until my fingers eventually touch the ground, if you're one like me who cannot flat palm the floor with straight legs (my MIL at 70 could!). This really stretches out everything. I get a lot of relief in the neck by doing chin tucks to the chest and relaxing there for a couple of minutes.
This is a trick a PT told me...while sitting in a chair with your legs a foot or so apart, bend over with your arms inside the leg area and grab for the floor...this really stretches out the upper back.
I know what you mean though -my muscles will burn in my arms and shoot pains through to my hands. Hope this helps!
That helps a lot.
Thank you so much.
yes it helps a lot --
but do you plug Lanier into a phone line? I am not familiar with Lanier.
Not that it helps but...
Not sure if this is being used in word? However and FYI for those who might need it, if you type LEE and it expands, do ALT E and enter, which is for unedit and it will return to the abbreviated text.
yes, that helps
That seems like it would be very time consuming! I'm using a pedal now and can't imagine controlling my dictations without it. Doesn't that take away from a lot of typing time?

Black-out drapes purchased at K-mart and a black sleep mask ($3 from a catalog) have been a tremendous help in getting/staying asleep when you have to sleep during the day.
Hopefully this helps! (sm)
Turn on or off automatic bulleted or numbered lists:
On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
Under Apply as you type, select or clear the Automatic bulleted lists or Automatic numbered lists check box.

This is a VA account? The VA pretty much expects contractors to pay their workers. If you're not working for this woman any longer, you might try complaining to the facility that you have not been paid. Try calling purchasing and contracting, as well as the chief of HIM. You can get the main phone numbers on the VA website--just Google it.

My computer has 2 holes for the headphone set:
One is in front of the modem and one is in the back of the modem.
Put your hedadphone into the hole in the BACK of the modem.
Thank you! This helps. And thanks to everybody.
Great suggestions.

Don't know if this helps...
... but here is a shot of my left hand, on the keyboard, in its usual typing position. (The right hand is holding the camera.) It's hard to tell... but hopefully you can see that my wrist is absolutely flat, and my hand comes straight off my forearm without any angle to either side.
Because I have a curved keyboard, the wrist rest is an Imak Ergo Beans beanbag, which of course conforms to any keyboard. I picked it up at Office Depot for pretty cheap. The keyboard is the Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 which costs under 20 bucks and has pretty decent action. The curve is actually pretty slight---but it's JUST enough to straighten out those lateral wrist angles that first gave me tendinitis back in the old typewriter days.
What you can't really see is that the heel of my hand is resting on a wrist-rest, which is at a height that keeps everything perfectly level. And what you can't see at all is that my forearms are basically parallel to the floor, with my elbows tight at my sides. It took a good bit of chair and desk height fiddling to get this combination right; but believe me, it is WORTH IT!
Anyway... see what you can do to get your wrists into as neutral positions as possible, both vertical and horizontal. And do try wrapping with an Ace bandage--even if only at night, to keep yourself from sleeping on it "wrong." (I do that from time to time. Not fun.)
Best of luck, and keep us posted on how it goes!
Thank you so much...it helps, even if you're not my QA! nm

I have a Stedman's 3rd ed. (2003) that I purchased new (still in plastic) off of Amazon for $22. I like the HPI books, but I have never used the psych one, so I don't know how much difference there is, but I do know you can get the Stedman's cheaper than $36. Another book that I used a lot is the PDR Drug Guide for Mental Health Professionals 2nd ed. I bought it at Books a Million. I don't use it as much now since I am familiar with the meds, but it was great when I started doing psych because it only has the types of meds related to mental health in it. Check ebay and Amazon for books. They are SO much cheaper. I have bought almost all of my ref. books that way. Good luck! I love doing psych. 
Hope it helps

Thank you - that helps immensly
Thank you. That definitely helps me a lot. The more I think about it, the more I realize that I am happy where I am and if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?! Plus, I am in a position where I can extend myself a bit and make more where I am, so not sure the switch would be a great idea.
Thanks again!
It helps if we know the whole sentence
