In Reply to: I purchased that book and it was useless. I think half the stuff in it was old. *sm* - ~nm~
So many people are charging other people for "information" or other useless garbage, but I can't scam other people. Work ethic and morals is all I've got. I haven't published a book yet. I couldn't find anything to sell on ebay. I have no imagination or real talent. So many other people have talent, skills and imagination. I'm not special at all. LOL

get rich quick
i'm looking to make extra money without having to do much. I've researched online and am even thinking of buying that book from that question mark wacky guy "free money from govt." Some programs that I have saved are secret shoppers and some other things, like real estate investor. Can anyone recommend anything out there that is NOT a scam, where you can make thousands in a month, not spend any of your own money, and has anyone bought that crazy guy's book about getting free money?
GET RICH QUICK..
Thats just for the lucky people that come upon something by accident. lol. If your looking, it will never happen. If you ask most rich people how they got rich, they will say I worked real hard for it, or I just got lucky... I tryed looking in to a few of the get money things, but they all seemed to be SCAMS to me.. If you do find any though, let me now.
The "get over it" part. :) NM
..
The only way to "get rid of it" is to sign off and then on again.
You can hit the download another job button, but it will keep that STAT in your queue until you sign off.
There is no easy way to reject a job. Sorry!
Was probably thinking she needs to "get a grip," too.

Thanks - all I can say is "get your mammograms, ladies."
I do advise that if you have a chronic illness of any kind, keep your medical records with you and copies of your studies, get 2nd and maybe 3rd opinions. Know as much about your illness as possible. Don't leave it up to the staff/doctor.
If you say I am rich and beautiful...will I be?

Yes, if he was rich and good-looking.
rich men versus poor men
I would take a blue collar over a white collar any day. Blue collar men are more down to earth, can take care of things around the house, do not worry so much about their looks (thats my job), are way more attentive and treat a woman like a lady, all the while being rugged and in charge. White collar men are metro, cold, corporate, skirt chasers, insensitive, arrogant. Love over money all the time for me. Even if I sit and wait for it until I turn gray, I will never settle for less than that.
eat foods rich in zinc
Not having enough zinc can make smelling and tasting things like a festive holiday meal a real challenge. Here’s why: The cells in your tastebuds and nose that help you to smell depend on zinc. In fact, cells in the salivary glands make a zinc-dependent protein called gustin that is secreted into your saliva. An important contributor to your sense of taste, gustin helps develop cells that can distinguish among different flavors.
Although zinc deficiencies are pretty rare in the United States, it’s worth asking your doctor to test for a deficiency if you are experiencing taste and smell loss. Many things can lead to a deficiency, including poor eating habits, alcoholism, certain drugs, kidney disease, and the stress of surgery or serious burns.
"If I discover a zinc deficiency, I typically recommend 25 milligrams of zinc picolinate twice a day to start," says Dr. Silbert. Of course, you can also eat more of the foods that contain zinc. Your best bet is seafood such as cooked oysters and crab. Meats such as lean beef and lean pork also provide zinc, but they’re not really recommended because they are high in saturated fat. Other sources include eggs, whole grains, nuts, and yogurt. If you plan to take more than 20 milligrams of zinc a day, it’s best to do so under your doctor’s care.
In a rich neighborhood in the 'burbs
north of where I live they have fixed the funky paint problem with some kind of zoning ordinance -- people can only use colors on an approved list of "historic" colors.
Insurance companies get rich
If you look at the profits, insurance companies are getting rich. They are the ones pocketing all the money. Plus probaby the hospitals are not far behind. I feel the same, my docs are not getting rich.
ohhh...Rich Man Poor Man
Peter Strauss and Nick Nolte...I loved that show. Never could decide who was cuter - Strauss or Nolte!
It's morally reprehensible that those rich
doctors are forcing you, and all the rest of us to fight for scraps, just because they want more money in their pockets to buy that second home in Aspen.....
LOL! Housekeepers are no longer for the rich
Hope you're okay with the train tracks. Wouldn't want you to have to transcribe your own visit note?  or 
Anyway, if me and hubby's workload keeps increasing, we'll have to call back that housekeeper. We have more time (a little :) without having kids - so I can just imagine - but still...so much to do, so little time.
Well..have a good evening...uh...morning!
Nice to have a rich hubby, but many of us can't
It's easy to tell people to live below their wage, but when their wage is already too low to live on, then what?
Ok, did I say rich?? Point of fact...
we live below our means, which means we save cash for what we want, don't charge silly impulse items, realize that retirement is right around the corner and it is our responsibility, not the government, to take care of ourselves. My point is that many people have bought more house than they could afford, have high car payments, credit cards are charged to the max, have to keep up with the Jones' and then complain about being broke. While I agree that economic times are tough now, there are many people out there who have spent themselves into hard times without and now regret it, but sure didn't want to live on a budget when times were good. Look how lazy the younger generation is now...they expect everything new now, don't want to work for anything because their parents over indulged them, they come out of college expecting to make six-figures and have an easy life.
Don't get you panties in a wad over my opinion....it's just that...my opinion, we are all allowed to have them, this is still America, right?
Rich parents, huh? I bet they're so proud of their little girl ...
I can't figure out why she keeps doing this - she's so easy to trace and she gets caught so easily. I guess she's a couple sandwiches short of a picnic. I hope everyone sees her name on this board. Her name will be mud in this industry and maybe whoever is employing her will kick her to the curb and give her job to a decent, deserving person. I wonder if she's even an MT, now that I think about it ...
hence the difference between a rich skank & a poor one is?
.
How would the doctors/rich HMO CEOs feel about
..
Yep, I am rich, that's why I sitting here typing in the middle of the night!
Of course when I'm done, I'm gonna hop in the limo and have Jeeves take me to NYC to breakfast and get my hair and nails done. Wanna go? There's room in the back. I mean, it is a limo!
WE ARE RICH compared to REAL third world nations
like those hit in the tsunami. Do you live with three generations in a dirt floor hut? Are you a farmer, fisherman, or hard laborer? Do our people have malnutrition and low fetal birth weights? Do you worry about where your next meal is coming from? No, we're the fattest nation in the world. We have a lot to be grateful for but people still want more. You can sit there behind your computer screen in your heated house while drinking lemonade and tell us all how poor you are, but I don't believe it for a minute. Your life could be a lot worse.
They also hate us because we cannot stop telling them how rich and strong we are.

Headline: Poor Funding of Rich Seen as Unsustainable.
"DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) — Massive flows of capital from the emerging to the developed world are unsustainable and risk damaging both poor and rich countries, some of the world's top finance officials said on Saturday.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet said that the current global investment pattern was "profoundly abnormal" and in no country's interest.
"It is not sustainable in the long run that the emerging world would finance the industrial world. It doesn't correspond to the interest of the emerging world, neither to the interest of the industrialised world," he said.
In a similar vein, Indian Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said countries like his, one of the emerging stars on the global economic scene, were under threat.
"Global imbalances are deepening and that has serious consequences for developing countries like India," he said.
The United States is currently seeing huge inflows of capital from the developing world, notably China, that are financing its current account deficit, bolstering the dollar and keeping long-term interest rates low though bond purchases.
The danger to the world economy is that when the inflows eventually dry up there could be sharp economic and market dislocations.
"There are potential triggers that could create serious consequences for the global economy. The first is a southward movement of the dollar, the second is an unexpected increase in U.S. interest rates ... Thirdly, (a spiral in) energy prices... will lead to inflationary expectations," Chidambaram said.
U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Robert Kimmitt said that his country needed to play its part to solve the imbalances but also called on China again to let the yuan currency strengthen.
"The U.S. needs to increase savings, starting with a reduction of the budget deficit," he said. "China needs to move its currency to be driven by underlying market forces soon." The growing significance on the world economic stage of countries such as China and India has been a major theme this week at Davos.
U.S. officials such as Kimmitt have been keen to say that they are not expecting any immediate change in the flow of funds from China in particular and that U.S. financial markets are robust enough to handle a change.
There are some concerns on the bond market, however, that China is losing some of its appetite for Treasuries.
India's Chidambaram, meanwhile, said that he expected flows from China would change as local consumption grew.
"I think the direction of exports will change. A country like China will be forced to stimulate domestic demand ... I'm not judgmental about China. The people of developing countries have to have a higher consumption of goods and services," he said. "

What success...she is a lazy, rich HOUSEWIFE..sounds like the
successful one is her husband.
rich skanks dress better and have nicer cars and homes.
I just pull up in word and save as Rich Text File...nm

She's tiny, cute, rich, famous, drug free, and a great singer.
Oh, what a horrible person! (sarcasm)
I'm so sorry you are feeling like this! I truly believe it is because
of your illness right now that this is all happening - the way you are feeling. About a week before any kind of sickness is starting in my body I go through the same exact thing. You must be paid hourly or salary because no one should have to cover for "free" and not get paid overtime! The phone co. tried to do that with my DH and other salaried workers and there's been a federal law passed that any unpaid overtime MUST be paid from Oct. of last year until now. You must gaid paid overtime even if you are salaried. Look it up and see if that is not correct.
Anyhow, good luck. LIke another poster said, get plenty of rest and I promise, next week you will be doing better.
Been there.. know the feeling
I think we start them so you and they school sports are SOOO competitive nowdays, that the kids give it all they have and then finally burn out. My son did. He played everything from tennis, golf, football, soccer to basketball. He did finish playing through high school (had finally limited it to only basketball), but did not want to play when it came to college. It broke my heart. For one thing, I was not ready to not get to see him play anymore and, secondly, how to pay for college now? However, I didn't want to push him into something he did not want to do. We have survived college so far (he's in his third year), but now he plays sports only on a recreational basis and is very happy. He is even pursuing a degree in Sports Management and wants to be a sports agent, so he still has the love of the game. I'm just glad he didn't lose that through it all.
Feeling Up Mom...
This is simply too funny!
http://www.askmen.com/video/current/index.html
thank you, feeling better.
I know the feeling
I tell them up front what work types I like and that I don't want the very high rates for the crappy accounts. My company, Etransplus, lets you choose what work types you want to do and I bet you I don't get an ESL but maybe twice a month. I had also checked with them for a friend of mine and they do need ops people only.
I always tell companies that big line rates don't pay off in the long run when the accounts are so bad.
i had the same feeling..
I really had admired his class throught the whole show and he certainly came down a peg or 2 then
I'm feeling old!
I worked for a doctor in high school so had a tiny bit of training, first job for transcription company was on an IBM selectric. I worked in our dining room and it almost drowned out the t.v. in the next room. My daughter, who was in junior high at that time, tore my perforated pages for me when i was finished. Funny thing, money didn't seem so tight back then, did it? Now I have to beat my fingers to the bone to get 2000 lines a day!
I'm feeling down
I work for a clinic making about $13.00 hr to work for 5 doctors and 2 nurse practioners. I have to transcribe the dictation, file all that I type into the charts (and charts are scattered anywhere and everywhere), send out all the referring physician copies (which sometimes can be 3-4 a report), and be anybody's "typist" that wants me to type whatever. Also have several other "clerical" duties the boss thinks that I should do. This is a very busy practice with around 200 patients a day. I have 30 years experience and am a CMT. I have been reduced to what I feel is "clerical" staff and my pay certainly reflects that. They constantly come in and wonder why the work is behind. I forgot to add that 4 of the 5 are "TERRIBLE" dictators that could do better but won't. I'm constantly having to find the referring physicians to type on to the report because they won't give it to me but want it typed on the note. I feel that I am giving these people their money's worth. The management will not listen to anything suggestions to make things run smoother and just want done what they want done, no matter what it means to me to do it... then they wonder why it gets behind. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but today I'm wondering, "WHY DO I DO THIS?" Is it for the retirement plan, cause not many of the services I have checked into even give benefits. I just want to get my purse and walk out and never look back. Ever felt that way?? I feel I am a wasted talent here and always have been, but I feel that the MT field has suffered many disappointing changes over these last 30 years. I've been here at this clinic almost 20 years. Before that I worked at a hospital where I was top producer for the 11 years that I worked there. I have no one else to tell this to who would remotely understand my feelings and I appreciate your letting me sound off on this board.I just don't know what to do next and was feeling down. Thanks for listening!
Feeling like we might be getting somewhere.
UPDATE: We got our tax money back and beginning to pay off bills so I won't have to take them with me. Only the ones in my name though, his credit is ruined, so he says he's not worried about them. Also, he paid off my dresser and is getting me some things to set up my home office. He is really taking this well. I'm so excited. Keep those good vibes coming. They must be doing something. Thanks, Jodi Lynn
I know the feeling
They take a set amount out of our checking twice a month. We should have all of our credit card debt taken care of in 4 years. The credit card companies lowered the interest rates on our cards substantially once we enrolled with CCCS, and I feel as if we now have a handle on our credit card debt. I believe it does go on your credit report, but the fact that you are trying to find a way to pay your bills and not just ignoring them looks good.
I know the feeling
same thing happended with my largest account. My group of doctors went to EMR, most of them are sticking to struggling by to fill in templates, etc, but they do dictate also, but very little. The office basically needs only one Transcriptionist now, where was before there were four. The doctors really are not as satisfied with the EMR as they thought they would be, but they have invested such big $$$, they will stick with it. The system they have is point and click using templates, etc and the transcriptionist also does alot of that, they fill in the blanks, etc. I worked on it a few times and find it very, very different from transcribing, you cannot get any "flow", therefore if you were paid by the line, way less $$$ than I can make transcribing. Since the system is just getting up and running they needed people to input data into it (scanning documents, etc), not difficult but time consuming. I did that temporarily too, but unfortunately the pay would not compare to transcribing either. I know on their system they could set up a transcriptionist from home, but they never got around to that part partly because they really did not have enough work to justify that expense. Of course the data entry would have to be done there as it required scanning multiple charts daily into the system and the office did not want to be without their charts for any period of time, etc. Of course each EMR system is different and each doctor uses it somewhat differently, if you previous physicians really dislike it, they may just dictate as in the past, but I would look for them to try to use the EMR as much as possible because of the $$$ invested into it. Keep in contact with them and keep your foot in the door, so to speak, they may tire more and more of it, but it will probably take awhile, then again after time they may adjust to it more and more. It's a gamble either way.
exactly my feeling too -- and to OP,
feel free to e/m me for my thoughts and experiences relating to your question.
That's how I took it, and I know the feeling
since we just moved and my son will be going to a new school with new friends, and this will be my daughter's first year too.
I know the feeling!
We have custody of our daughter's 2-year-old son; what a difference between boys and girls!! He is SOOOO active, and it's really hard to get my hours in at work, but I'm trying! Congrats to you and God bless!!
I'm feeling so much better
So many positive responses ! Thank you all so much for the encouraging feedback. I am the type who "likes my own company" so hopefully I'll get used to the quiet pretty quickly, but I am so close to my kids too - I'm going to really miss them.
Know the Feeling
I worked for a top criminal attorney in my area for 14 years and made great money, but I went back for a visit a few weeks ago, and boy, am I glad I'm home as an MT now. He was giving the secretary orders to do this and that by tomorrow, etc. and I thought to myself, boy I don't miss this at all. I make less money now, but to me it's worth it to be at home doing MT.
Ahh..someone who knows what Im feeling!
Thank you for your nice post. I certainly don't see why some got ruffled, everything I have said is valid.
These work at home jobs are supposed to be marketed for women with small children, but if you set the job up with unfair expectations like typing 8 hours, then you diminish the whole reason for women working at home in the first place...FLEXIBILITY!
It's really hard, but I'm trying. I just know if I had a better way to work my hours, this could work out for me.
Thanks for all your advice and it feels good to know I'm not alone!
I know the feeling!
Some days I just don't feel like working. It's so boring and monotonous. I have to challenge myself by setting dollar amount goals or line count goals. Just like the other posters, I type for an hour and then take a break to do housework or something. I set up rewards for myself. Get this done, and THEN I can surf the Internet or go shopping. I've even gone as far as blocking my favorite Internet sites from my work computer so I don't surf while I'm working. The other thing that helps is looking at my bills and setting up payoff goals. Now if only I could find a J-O-B so I could set some goals.
hah, me too. My cat is feeling
disenfranchised now that i've got this keyboard in my lap, she was used to snuggling inbetween my belly and the keyboard :) Both my cats like to be up here with me while i work too!
I have a feeling that we should either
be working with a company we love right now, or look quickly. I do believe that whatever happens to our MQ friends has a lot to do with the rest of us. There are what, 8000 to 10,000 MTs there? If something were to happen and there were a lot of resumes going out to all of the companies and hospitals out there, odds are the influx of great candidates versus the jobs would become a supply and demand issue. This may be happening already, as there were 500 people surfing this board the last few days since the MQ platform has been suffering problems. Does anyone have this feeling too? I don't think we should panic, but I am making sure to do my job with my present employer (personally) and hold onto my job security. If anything should happen to this giant employer, the few companies out there which are really good to their employees will have their pick of thousands, and I for one do not want to worry about my benefits and my job. Any comments on this? Thinking it would make for interesting conversation, seeing the balance of the MT workforce does depend on what this failing giant (MQ) happens to do.
I know the feeling
I'd done MT for approx. 20 years too - tired of the pay going down instead of up & tired of crappy ESLs/sloppy English speakers that only got worse. My solution? Do MT part-time to "keep an iron in the fire" just in case. I'm now work full-time in the quality systems program for a small medical device company. I'm SO much happier, have a 401K, benefits, vacation/sick pay and am SALARIED. No more sweating for pennies on the line and I am actually respected for what I do.
I know the feeling...sm
When I have a lot of work which hasn't been that often lately, but when I do, it seems that my mother who lives next door will come in or my daddy will drop by. You don't want to be rude but sometimes I just have to say I have a lot of work and just not get up and go in there and they will get the hint and leave.
My feeling also
We all know the story of the golden parachutes these guys get even in the face of the companys going bankrupt. They take their millions and run not giving the employees a second thought. No one wants to be a victim of this type of scenario but it may start unfolding in the next few months to a year. We need to be prepared and aware of what is going on.
