Suze Orman about women & their money. One thing she couldn't emphasize enough (and which I totally agree, even if I don't always agree with her), is, "Ladies, you are NOT ON SALE." Selling ourselves short is the biggest mistake most of us (women) make in our lives. Anyone who accepts less pay tomorrow for work done just as competently as yesterday is putting themselves and their services ON SALE. Don't accept this back-stabbing offer. Find something else - this company obviously has only its own profits at heart, and could care less about its workers, the quality of its product, or the future of MT in general.

Saw him on CMT show with John Fogarty. Great, great singer with a neat personality and drop dead
gorgeous without seeming to know it.
GREAT GREAT SHOW! I still think Ellen Pompeo
should have gotten the Emmy/Golden Globe whatever it was for the show. I like Sandra Ho, her character just needs more depth... Next week looks AWESOME!! Maybe there is still a chance for McDreamy!! First season DVD coming out with deleted scenes! Can't wait to get it & watch it!!
Great show!
Jerry Rice is good but cannot match Drew. What's up with the gangsta rapper? He should have gone first. He doesn't really care. I think he should have gone first. 
Rock on Drew.
Oh yes. This show is great.
 I love Cesar. He trips me out w/ all that dog stuff. I even attempted some w/ our dog, though it didn't turn out to well, but then again Cesar was not here to show me correctly. It is a good show.
It's a great show.. to the posters below who don't like it...
I always have trouble going into a show if I haven't seen it from the beginning. I sometimes wonder what all the hoopla is about on a show when I try to watch mid-season.This really is a great show, but the drama is overwhelming at times.
That was a great show! Thanks for the post!
I missed about 20 minutes of it, but recorded the rest. Fascinating look at the other side of things. I have always known that the Indian (whatever 3rd world country) workers themselves were not our enemies - its the govts as usual creating all this situation. And now their culture is crumbling and turning into our culture. Poor things! And, while I certainly don't want to lose my job to offshoring, they are right that we as Americans can rebuild our lives and reinvent ourselves. Those people die. They are desperate and that's why I give them 100% respect and anticipate them making leaps and bounds in the industry. They have a great incentive - pure survival. I have also QA'd lots of foreign work. There are occasional bad MTs, but there are some fantastic MTs as well. Sometimes far superior to the quality of USA MTs. So, I'll be looking over my shoulder for sure and keeping my skills current!
Rosie's old daytime show was great.

Have seen them twice (Las Vegas and L.A.). They put on great stage show. Tickets were under $100.

Great opportunity now. Work full time, show

saw a great show the other night where they separated with fabric strips that had been tie-died
using golf balls. I think this would look great and also be pretty see through so that your son felt like he had his own space but you would still be able to see what he was doing. With a three-year old, I guess you would use a permanent mount curtain rod so that he couldn't keep pulling it down. Good luck!
If you can show proof you did this work for them, they then have to show they paid it in order
:+
love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
OMG - now THAT is something the public - nm
.
Public
does not know.
I mentioned to my personal physician that transcription was being sent to India. He was surprised and concerned that this was happening.
Maybe we just need to educate the docs who mostly just dictate and don't know where it goes.
Public TV is getting to be just as bad as cable.
Good old evening family sitcoms are just smut and garbage. We have a Netflix membership, so I fill up the queue with kids or family movies that I've researched and approved. The kids have been watching those all summer when they feel the need to watch TV at all.
MQ is a public company
under plenty of scrutiny right now. Are you saying they would tell a select group of employees before making the info available to shareholders? That is a violation of SEC rules. Your story is not credible. Unless your source is on the BOD, they know nothing.
No, public school in the U.S.
They had a MENSA group at the school, and we even got to CLEP college coursework.
Yes, but those pay more than public schoolteachers.
Our local college easily pays adjunct faculty twice ($30 hour) what public schoolteachers make.
When you are working with the public (sm)
there are always people who are sarcastic. Yes, sarcastic will be among us, just like the poor.
By the way, what is your point besides needing to lash out at someone today?
I think in most USA public schools....nm

Maybe in public VIEW! lol
Article I read said it was Barbara who decided to suggest firing Star because Rosie had said the only way she would join the View was if there was no Star! That and she was annoyed by her antics over the past year. So, yeah, real class that Babs! Maybe she's been hanging out with white-trash-with-money-Rosie a little too much? Maybe next they'll ask Britney Spears to join the show. LOL!
informing the public
That's why I want my friend mentioned in my above post to go to the TV stations about this and expose it if it is not resolved -- NOT the particular MT in question, but the working conditions that make this kind of mistake possible. This hospital is HUGE, one of the most well-known in the country. I want TV there.
You mean you would actually do MT-ing in a public place?
If your at-home cable goes down.....dear Lord, I pray you never type my medical records in a public place. Geez Louise, how could you not know this is wrong???

These 2 companies were just awarded all of VISN 7. Not sure exactly where the split is. Look on VA website for hospitals make up VISN 7.
The way people appear in public anymore--
Reminds me of a T shirt I saw that read-- Too many freaks, not enough circuses. I think slippers are the least of your worry. I think people should at least be covered up and not letting everything hang out for public display. If they want to look like that at home, but not in public.
I don't really think a public website is the place
to be asking such a personal question...and if I were the people in question I don't believe I would want my last name on a public website either but that is just me...a little tact might have been nice...
I think I could handle it, I worked in the public
for 25+ years and it didn't scar me. I also worked as a nurse in a nursing home. If that doesn't scar you nothing will. I enjoy working at home, I just don't enjoy the fact that a lot of the dictators are inconsiderate and rude. If they had to listen to themselves, I think it would embarass them to hear how riduculous they sound.
Not enough money for me to sing in public!!
But, my 3 sons all do this all the time. The youngest sounds like Johnny Cash, and actually is requested to sing his songs a lot (even in the yuppie bars). My nieces (did I spell that right?? That word always evades me) all sing karaoke too.
I've heard some great singers in karaoke, and some bad ones. Frankly, I admire their nerve to stand up and perform. I have horrid stage fright (and yes, I can carry a tune).
I think she should meet him in public place..nm

I am using public and private schools
My two youngest are in the local public elementary school, and I've had no problems with it. In fact, it's a terrific school, but I have a feeling it's probably much better than the average public school.
My eldest, who's in high school, goes to a private creative arts boarding school because I feel the local public high school doesn't give the kids enough one-on-one attention and doesn't offer as many educational opportunities as my son's school. Also, he is big into music and drama, and our local school has a weak creative arts department.
at home - harder job than public
True, I make more money, but the anxiety is killer. I work harder now than I ever did in a public position. Yes, I am here for my children when they get home from school, but I could not imagine trying to do my job with a baby. Also, as others will probably agree, the money in this field is not what it used to be. Good luck.
This is one of the things public assistance is for. nm
!
But it wasn't in public, Barry (sm)
it was in private, between two consenting adults. And as far as religion becoming an integral part of every aspect of life, actually it is just the opposite - it is less a part of everday life than it ever has been. And then two people prayin privacy and you have an issue with it. Who is infringing on whose rights??
Yes, you can Transcribe Privately in public
1) Use your own USB wireless access card, NOT the public WiFi. They cost between $40 and $60 per month and are available from Cricket, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, USCellular, Alltel, etc. If you can get a cell phone signal, you can transcribe. I've transcribed in my car parked at a Pilot station before. When the battery ran low, I plugged it in to my cigarette lighter adapter and kept typing. (I did have to turn the car on while recharging).
2) Invest in GOOD headphones that keep your dictation IN and external noises OUT.
3) Buy a 3M privacy screen for your laptop screen. Once installed (it's a cling-on thing) NOBODY can see your screen EXCEPT YOU.
People work on laptops in public ALL the time, and nobody cares. If you have a privacy filter on your laptop screen, nobody needs to know that you're working on confidential information but you!
To all wondering about working in public

re: ...working in public, pdf link
okay so I read the document. there are plenty of places that have security measures like this. i just left a university that had this sort of regulation in place with student's information.
No big deal as far as I can see, I would rather work for a company that had some accountable software for protecting the patient's stuff on my computer. Keeps me out of trouble.
MQ chose the public forum for us to ask questions.
Do you have any better idea?
They offered a job. They are not producing the goods. They don't return phone calls and they don't have any policy manuals for employees or contractors.
There is no other way to ask the question. They brought us to this place through their misrepresentation of facts. The fact is they offered work. So why shouldn't they be looked at for unethical work practices? I was looking for a job, they offered one. It's not my responsibility now to go look for another job. They need to reply as to why there is no work.
Questions like this should be taken up with your supervisor instead of a public forum. sm
I'm sure your supervisor could answer any questions you have. 
Our medical information is public domain?
thats nuts. I dont even know how you come to that conclusion.
Ask your physician next time if his medical information is public domain and see what he says.
Might be public forum but you don't need to insult people
in "just kidding" or not. Now drop the subject. I accepted your apology, now move on. I will not argue the point with you. It is fruitless.
We are going to public in the Fall after 3 years at private - sm
I would have liked to go another year or 2 at the private but the cost is outrageous (over $6K a child and I have 2), plus they beat another $1K out of you over the course of the year for trips, teacher gifts, fundraisers, etc. Next year my monthy cost would have been over what we pay for the mortgage (and that is not counting the bus fee ($275 with the bus stop 6 miles away), student fees, and some other fee the stick in there). I do like the school but the headmaster (new as of 2 years ago) is dragging the school down and out right lies, so between him and the escalating cost we are putting our 2 in public next year. Our local school has a very good rep though and classes are only 1 or 2 students larger than what mine were in anyway. I checked them out before registering them there. My DH is not happy about it but he is coming around finally. But if they hate it (which I doubt) I will begrudingly put them back in the private school the following year (as long as the tuition doesn't jump up another $400....headmaster is already talking increases for the following year if enrollment keeps dropping....ya think the high cost has anything to do with it??? That and that fact that 6 teachers/aides quit at the end of the school year (big shock), the school is only K-8 (and preschool).
This is 100% true - they get bonuses for selling the public
useless items that they don't really need.
Truly sad when couples air their dirty laundry in public
Please, think of the children! 
I would feel sorry for Sh*ri except she is such an obvious whackjob who truly deserves whatever is coming her way. Baby, you know the old saying: What goes around, comes around. Obviously it's coming around back to you in spades!
ALL free public boards are alike...
It's Free & it's public so just bear with it. Nobody pushed you to come here and read all that stuff. Just visit the sites you like.
But I know you can't stay away like me, MTStars boards are highly addictive !!!
JMO.
making the public aware of outsourcing
What if we all wrote to our local newspapers (letter to the editor) and let them know about this practice? If people inquired of their physicians after reading the letter and found out their medical records are available outside of the country, maybe they might help in the fight by putting some pressure on the docs. Just a thought.
Spheris made it public months back that they were going to try and buy them.
They said it in a news release and they were serious. It is my guess that this is a true rumor and if it is then you can expect it to come to a head in about 2-3 weeks. Just be watching
they did use public transportation though as part of the evacuation but housed those sm
who boarded in the superdome rather than outside of New Orleans. of course, there were those thousands who chose not to even do that.
You're an idiot. You asked for help on a public forum
then get angry over the responses? OMG, do you even have a life? LOL
I think MTs must have higher IQs than general public? You feel like posting your IQ if you know it?
Just a theory I have.
Doesn't that drive you crazy when you see typos in public? LOL
x
You need to lighten up. This is a public forum. Take the good, leave the bad.
