Before that, on Francis King Street in Guilford College. I loved Greensboro so much. I know where Pleasant Garden is.

Live in PA too and while no road problems here, I sure do have one flooded basement and a mess to cl

I live in Buffalo & little kids tend to call me Miss Debbie. nm
I think we are in Madison, WI
Like I posted below, this came from a lady who lives in Houston and has seen first hand the mess and the attitude. Boy, I guess we should all just welcome them all in no matter what, right? I know they aren't all like this, but enough are to make a pretty big mess..like she said, with only the shirts on their backs? I'd rather take in their cats and dogs.
Greensboro?
What part of Greensboro do you live in? I live in Greensboro too. Well, actually in Pleasant Garden, but pretty much one in the same....lol...
Greensboro....
How long has it been since you have lived here? I am trying to figure out what anyone could possible miss about Guilford County as a whole.....I have lived here all my life and it used to be a wonderful place to live. Now, it is horrible. It almost makes me sick to see just what it has become. The only good thing I can see at this point is a highway sign that says, "Leaving Greensboro." I am sooo looking forwards to moving in the next 2 years.
Sorry about link - it's in the Greensboro News and Record sm
I asked my tech support person at my job, and he said I'd have to contact Time Warner to see how much I use it. I'm sure they's be happy to provide that info (that was sarcasm).
why no, i don't live in snobville. did you think you knew me? i live in heritage hills a suburb
it takes a little longer to get to work and shopping but thank god i have some privacy and am away from the congestion. lovely trees and lakes all around. maybe about 20 minutes to a large shopping mall. but no, i don't even know where snobville is.
Yep -- ROAD RAGE
NM
I'm in Aylett, just up the road, near Rt. 30 & 360. - sm
Do you work in-house somewhere or at home? I am at home and currently working PT for a local company. Drop me an email...think it is listed with my OP.
idiots on the road
We have the top 6 out of 10 dangerous intersections in our county all within 5 miles of home. One if my kids go to the mall, one on the way to school, two on the way to their best friends houses and one on the way to the bank/grocery,doctor's..go figure .
All 6 have the same main corridor in common, so our township thought they'd get smart and put concrete dividers in to replace what they called "deadman left turn lanes"..ok sounded smart
Now, the state is trying out a new fangled system for our emergency personell that changes all traffic lights to green (fire or police activate it) because..the idiots who installed the concrete barriers made them too high and the fire trucks/ambulances can NOT get over them to get around stopped traffic
I absolutely hated when my kids got wheels because anywhere they were going was through one of these intersections and case in point, I sat at a light in the worst of them all, I could hear the siren and see the lights flashing coming but did the kid with the bass in front of me?..nah and jumped at the light and crammed right into the ambulance that was coming through . No one really hurt but I have told all of mine that I best NOT get a call about an accident like that one.
Oh and forgot, since the levy did not pass, all the high schoolers will not be bussed, so look for the entrance to school as making the above list
Same Here - Road Runner
I'm in Upstate NY, Syracuse area and I haven't had any problems with mine either.
working on the road
I use a laptop and an air card from Verizon. Works like a charm!
Working on the road
Shouldn't be a problem, especially if you can dial toll free. It's also easy if you use online dictation. We went to Reno and stayed at a hotel for a week last winter and I used the hotel's wireless internet in the room for my work. Had fun and didn't still worked my 3 hours a day. I did have to pay a weekly rate for the internet but it was worth it. Just be sure to bring a long telephone cord. Have fun!
I also have done transcription, even going down the road.
I use a Verizon broadband which is similar to what ATT offers and it costs the same, around $60 but it pays for itself sometimes when hotels we have been to in Vegas etc.. want to charge $12-14 a day for internet use. I love being able to go on vacation and still not miss work. Some people think when you go on vacation you should not work, but I do both...I get up early, do some work, and play the rest of the day.
Road hypnosis...Please do see...
a doctor (neurologist). This is potentially extremely dangerous for drivers and others on the road. You can get a medication called "Provigil" that will keep you alert for the trip.

I hope you get it soon! I used to dial up, all kind of problems, slow, slow. Then switched to RR and for over a year now, NADA a problem at all, zilch...it is always here..you will enjoy it
Beatles - Abbey Road. nm
:)
Yes, I work on the road all the time. I have...
I have a TASP (MetroScript) and so I can download my voice files as long as I can get an Internet connection. I even worked while on vacation in another country. It was awesome (well... working on vacation was not so great). We had no problem finding free wireless connections in the US but I did have to dial up when we were in another country. But my TASP handled everything else. I'm actually very happy with them. (www.metroscript.com)
YOU CAN EVEN CRUISE/TAKE ROAD TRIP
I'm leaving again next week on a cruise, and can take the work with me. As an MTSO, I don't have to transcribe, but could if I needed; just download via ship internet to laptop and type offline, then send back. I use to move files, answer emails, and JUST IN CASE, have the ability to transcribe should the world fall apart while I'm gone! Also, if you get an AIRCARD, you CAN download/send files while traveling where phone signal is available. Life is good with flexibility!!!
Any tips for MTing on the road?
I am packing up my laptop and heading out soon for week away. Plan to work part of the time from the hotel. Any tips from those who have done the mobile thing before? My biggest concern is that I won't be able to take my books and only I have a couple of electronic Stedman's.
MT on the road using C-phone or Lanier? (sm)
Anyone have any suggestions for using a C-phone or Lanier while traveling? I'm planning a vacation and will stay in a hotel (with separate work space). I've worked before while traveling with my laptop and transcribed via wav files or a tape transcriber, but never with a C-phone. I've thought about purchasing a calling card to use the hotel's phone line to dial in; know it'll be expensive. Any ideas and recommendations on this plan are much appreciated, i.e., calling card, hotel's phone line.
Thanks!

if i were being promised things that weren't being followed through, i'd hit the road. sm
i agree on the decreasing the bonus but maybe they didn't have as productive of a year this year or didn't clear as much in their pocketbooks as they would like, lol. i technically think all companies should give something; after all, a gift is a tax write off anyway. better to give to those busting our tails for them rather than uncle sam. i haven't gotten anything but cards in the last 3 years so i am used to it by now and don't expect it but i would definitely be grateful even for a meal gift card or anything for that matter.
Right now all of our efforts are to get her better and on the road to recovery. What may lie ahead
in terms of lawsuits, etc., will be addressed at a later date. Her getting better is our #1 priority. I was just amazed at how the process has been handled so far. It really is a shame.
Road Runner lately in Upstate NY has been slow. U R not alone.
Hope I don't meet this patient on the road...sm
"Her job involves a significant amount of ... in addition, working on a cell phone, typing and driving." This could explain some of the drivers I've encountered recently, shew...
why yes the quality of air where i live is quite different than where the city people live.
Lots of pollution. That's why everyone is moving away from the city and areas zoned for multiple housing units and low income housing and trailer parks. Population is dense and near manufacturing. So yes, the air is different but millions of people pay a little extra for the quality, the space and privacy afforded to those who move out of polluted crowded areas such as you defend. There is always a reason why some areas and housing is cheaper than others. Maybe it is the air and maybe it's something you can't quite put your finger on but you know you would prefer not to live in certain areas. You know what I mean or are you living in one of those areas? They tell after awhile you block out the sounds, the smells and get used to the pollution. I don't know. I didn't stay long enough to test the theory. My mental and physical health is way too important to me.
I know they live a long time, so if there is a chance they will out live you - sm
make sure you make provisions for them in your will. I have only had cockatiels and some finches, so don't really know anything about the bigger birds. I love African Grey's but they are very expensive.
Then you are an absolute FOOL. Down the road, you'll wish you were never involved

Makes me think of Beatles Polythene Pam from Abbey Road. nm
Also love Mean Mr. Mustard, sleeps in the park, shaves in the dark trying to save paper. Sleeps in a hole in the road, saves enough to buy some clothes, keeps a five-pound note up his nose, such a dirty old man...dirty old man.
Three months ago I switched to Road Runner voice over IP.
I'm very happy with it. I'm on the phone for hours and haven't had any problems with them as of yet. We'll see what the future brings.
Well, I would like to applyl. I hope you can make a go of it but it will not be an easy road. If

Long and winding road, but back in high school
 My favorite album was Sgt. Pepper's, I listened to it over n over until the tape wore out and finally broke. I keep meaning to replace my old collection with CDs. I used to have posters of the Beatles all over the walls, collected those circle john lennon sun glasses, the whole deal.
Formerly SadMT has now received her new Dell PC and is now on the road to happiness! Just wanted to
thank everyone for all your good suggestions and advice last weekend! Now, I can get serious about the job search!
Hoosiers, Road Warrior, Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Live and let live. Don't force your lifestyle on me.

I used to live in MN now I live in MS and they were both cold last night!
Will take MS cold over MN cold any day, and I don't miss the snow. I miss the Mall of America, though!

Hit or Miss?
Ok, from what I am gathering is that it is pretty much a "hit or miss" when it comes to taking MT courses, no matter who they are.
I have never heard anyone say anything negative about Andrews or M-Tec. Is it possible that ALL of their students are 100% satisfied?
What I miss and what I don't
What I miss from in-house - being able to talk to the doctors and techs about problem reports, being able to ask for clarification and get an immediate answer, very easy QA, very easy dictations, the easy wardrobe (we wore scrubs), the security and perks, knowing if I had a low production day or took vacation my check wouldn't suffer, and the friends I made there.
What I don't miss - Getting paid the same (or less) than than slackers, having to rotate weekends, constant interruptions, constant demands (fax this, drop what you're doing and find my report, boring staff meetings while the work piles up, shop/cook for this potluck), little kids screaming in the hall, politics and getting along with difficult people.
But I'd say - go for it, if you'll make more money at a job that close, its a chance in a lifetime.
Did I miss something?!
Why do people insist I am not listening, researching, and typing?! I am so stressed out to the max to try and impress people for what?! Pennies per line! No feedback anyone gives me is going to change the fact that the blind leads the blind at the service?! Do it this way, no do it that way?! No "listening" is going to make an ESL talk any better, slower, or clearer! Wow! I came here for support, from people who understand, not to get a "keep trying, you'll never know everything!" I NEVER said ANYTHING about not wanting feedback or about my ability! None of this has to do with what was originally posted! Please, only reply with what pertains to the actual post! Thanks!
You must live where I live. I ran into the same sort of SM
situation when I was the president-elect of the local chapter and the VP-elect of the state chapter. I bailed out. There was no fighting it.
