I am an IC and considering buying a VR program, but I would like to know which is the most accurate, and also cost is a factor too.  Does anyone have any recommendations, good or bad?  I hear a lot about Dragon, but I am hesitant because I have heard it takes a long time to train it to your voice.   

Thanks for any and all advice. 

What would be a reasonable cpl to expect as full-time employee (not IC) with a national if you have no experience but do have MT education from one of the AAMT-approved schools?

For once can you ditch the negativity, try having a positive attitude and be a little gracious??

My docs have now switched to a new platform, which does not utilize counting lines, which is how I am paid now.  They suggested paying by time, but that would be irritating for me to have to keep track and multiply and do all sorts of other stuff by hand (rather than having software to do it).

I have thought about asking them to pay me on salary.  I have been with them for 7 years with no raise.  NO RAISE EVER.  Seven years this September, and I have made between 25 and 28 thousand dollars each year with them.

I am thinking of asking for $36,000 a year and was wondering how reasonable that is.  I get absolutely no benefits from them and in turn, have to pay my own health insurance, retirement, taxes, etc. (so really it would be about 24K a year).

Any advice?   thanks so much

I take of a penny a line for each of these things:

1.  Digital. 2. No printing.

Or you can start at your bottom line and add a penny for 1. Pickup 2. Printing. 3. Delivery.

That's just how I do it.

notify them that you will be filing complaints with the Department of Labor, the BBB, the FTC, the state attorney general's office, and small claims court.

just keep it in mind for the future. www.chad.org. Also there are some informative videos at coolnurse.com. About 10 videos regarding ADHD. you will have do a search on the site but it's worth it. If it's in her father's family it could be possible that she has it, and if so, you needed to get educated about it and be her advocate. School systems respond very well to confident, well prepared parents who come in to meet for a plan that allows for reasonable accomodations. I've been doing it for years.

Bought a desktop and a laptop a month ago.  The desktop had a problem with the CD drive not opening.  I called Dell and they promptly handled the situation.  The repair person called my home the following day to schedule an appointment.  He showed up on time, picked up after himself, etc.  Very polite and very professional. 

My only complaints so far:  being on hold for 40 minutes before talking with a Customer Service rep and the young man I spoke with when my call finally was answered.  Where he was from -- I don't know, but he had a very thick accent and with my southern twang ears, he was quite difficult to understand.

service is TERRIBLE.  Can't understand us.  I had to keep repeating my questions, still they did not seem to understand English.  I will never, never, never buy a Dell product again.  I just got it yesterday.  The computer is okay, but the service is the pits.  They have such strong accents, didn't understand me, I had to keep repeating my sentences, talking very slowly.  They also were hard to understand.  I want to write Dell corporate and complain, but can't even find a place that is not in India to complain to. 

After this experience, I am totally not worried about transcription going to India.  The quality must be so bad, after what I experienced, it will eventually come back.  Any company that outsources, the reports must be very poor quality.

A Holmes Family Safe Portable Heater, mostly because it's kid-friendly.  So far so good.  If my house burns down, though, I'll let you know :)  j/k  It had a lot of good features and keeps my bedroom toasty, which is probably a bit bigger than your office.

Straight from AAMT in the shrink-wrap (I got a discount through my employer)..

I don't call it a typo when they refer to it wrong twice, as they do in this instance.  I call it a mistake!  And it makes me lose confidence in the rest of the book, as well as lose respect for the authors.

If people find it amusing - WHY?  I don't think its acceptable to just expect typos in every book you buy, because I know darn well people are PAID to edit copy before its published, and someone wasn't doing their job!  With fiction I can snort with disgust and move on.  But professional books should be accureate, considering it was written BY AND FOR an entire industry based on inherentt perfectionism regarding the written word and terminology! 

I was forced to buy this book to supposedly hone MY skills, only to find THEIR skills are lacking.  This is the supposed bible of our industry!  I am referred to this book a zillion times in my company standards.  And if I cannot rely on it for accuracy, why yes, I am angry.  If you want to see me as a nutcase, that's your prerogative. 

I posted this oriiginally so people could mark this error in their book instead of perhaps putting the BOS spelling n their spell checker, and get penalized for repeated errors as a result.  I was hoping others might post any additional errors they had found in this publication, and we could help one another in this respect.  Perhaps someone might take this post seriously enough to do so, and if they do, I appreciate it.

one if my requirements was that there had to be a room that was decent enough to use for my office.  In order to qualify for the IRS home office deduction  you can't use your office as a bed room or anything else.  

I have the best view in the house in my office - I can see outside to the flower garden and also see the road so I can watch the people and cars going by during the day. 

this great little Holmes I-Touch electric heater probably from Lowe's or Home Depot.  Cost about $20... very light and compact with a blower.  Hmmmm, toasty!
