I agree about Target but there are some things I cannot buy at Target and Walmart
has the best prices. I just don't have excess cash to avoid shopping at Walmart too.
You are correct. Developed by a transcription company, but a division also lease its use to sm

facilities.  I knew that, but had never encountered anyone who works with it in the real world who doesn't not work for the specific company that developed it.  They keep us pretty much in the dark about that stuff.


anyway, when the platform is working well, it is not impossible to make over 300 lph.  350 would be rare, and depend a lot on formatting, what you are paid for and what you are not paid for.


Lost two accounts so far. Both very high volume. Another division due to go in summer.

Target
I go there with a set list and come out with a whole slew of things, I never make it out of there without spending at least 100 bucks and I also feel completely awful afterwards.  My friend says I go into this weird daze when I go there, kind of like float from thing to thing.  Must be all the pretty colors or something, very hypnotic.  The thing is, around here they are on every corner!  You can save a lot on the toiletries compared to grocery stores too.   
you are right on target on this one!

Target is better...
I would rather shop at Target anyday.  Our Wal-Mart were I live really sucks though plus Target has better and much cuter clothes for my little ones. 
Not exactly sure, but target appears to be MTs.

same here, love target

The 3 walmart's in my area are all terrible also so I always dread going there and try to do all of my shopping at Target. They have a better selection, the lay out of their merchandise is cleaner, neater & easier to navigate, the employees are always friendly & helpful and their products (in my opinion) are of better quality.


 


As with everything, I get mine at Target. nm

walmart vs target
I agree there must be a different company culture. I actually considered working part-time at Target myself. Why? Same reason. I am sick of the unreliable workload and such with MTing. The cashier I asked about employment said she loved her job. My friend's daughter started there after high school. She has been there for about 9 or so years now. She has worked her way up to management. Granted she is making only 16 bucks an hour now, which some faster MTs make already. Still I think the people considering this change would not those fast MTs making the good money with reliable accuonts but rather the newbies or people who are not the fast producers. And you are right at least it is a consistent paycheck w/benefits. I understand Target benefits are good and possibly lower lever benefits offered to part-timers.
Internet based transcription - need advice on how to go internet
Can anyone offer any help/advice on how go about becoming internet based from a call in system, or how to keep the call in system for the docs and put transcriptionists on the internet?  Not sure where to start to get information on how to go about doing this. Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.
Didn't know about Target issues...
The Target issues you mentioned are pretty significant to me also. I guess I'll start going to K-Mart for non-food items. The grocery nearby is quite high, but I heard of a warehouse-type grocery that is opening soon in my town, so that's an probably my best option.

Thanks for sharing the info!
I know, those all make me want to shop at Target

in my state, there is also this to contend with:

Jees.  Ya can't win for losing, can you? 


Still shop at Target at little bit (*never* Walmart), but I'm really going to try to make it much more exclusively Costco now. 


Don't be to quick to jump to Target
You may need to investigate what Target stands for. A good start would be the American Family Association's website which will clue you into whether Target is for you. I haven't shopped there for well over a year because of discrimination against Salvation Army, the sale of sexually explicit material (sold in XXX stores), etc. Target is not even an option for me! Sometimes in today's society, we have to choose the lesser of "evils". I would rather shop at Wal-Mart than support Target.
I'd hit my target heart rate just

Good hunch but why did she target
the coffee house?  Alex was after Daniel, not Kevin.  I think she has something to do with that chick (can't think of her name) that was in cahoots with Tom Fisher and who took Lauren's baby years ago.  Time will tell. 
I have been using $10 ear buds from Target for 8 years. sm
I know a lot of people think I'm nuts, but they have worked absolutely fine for me for all these years. They don't last forever, probably 4 months per pair, but a lot of times I'll find them for 2 pair/$10. I'm not even loyal to one brand, but my current pair are Koss.
Walmart, Target, Radioshack, Best Buy,
Etc, etc... they're everywhere. Some places may or may not carry them in the store or you may have to ask for them in store, but they're available everywhere online. Cheapest is maybe 30 bucks and average is 40-50.
I can. I think you could get fast. It is a broader target than a keyboard key.nm

Tip on Aching Wrists/Target Laundry Detergent!
Okay, I have hesitated sharing this one for a long time now, cause I know, absolutely know, I will get flamed somehow, cause its sort of silly, but its not silly to those of us whose wrists and/or arms are shot from this "career".  I have really bad wrists now AND elbows - actually if your wrists hurt, chances are your tendons are aggravated right up to your elbow, too, though the pain might not localize there.  At any rate, I also found my wrist would hurt with some "ADLs", mostly laundry.  No matter what size of detergent I bought, they were always heavy, and the motion of pouring deturg into the cups really hurt my right wrist. Sometimes I could even hear an audible "pop" on that motion of holding this heavy bottle and pouring. My physical medicine guy said it was the motion of that with the weight on top of typing that wreaked havoc on my wrists, and that even lots of women who don't type have popped their tendons out using laundry detergent!  Well, this is SO stupid, but...a few months ago I went to Target and saw their brand "Method" laundry detergent.  Its super concentrated and fits 32 loads in a tiny bottle. Plus, its like those mouthwash dispensers where you just hold the bottle upright and squeeze and a tiny bit of the detergent fills in a tiny cup at the top. You fill to the line, which takes all of 1 second, and that's all the detergent you need! Plus, this stuff is awesome with the laundry.  Prior to that, only Tide could get my kids clothes clean. This stuff is the BEST, and it smells great! Its about $6 for this bottle, which I would have thought expensive, but the savings on my wrists are priceless!  My carpal tunnel and elbow tendonitis have nearly completely healed. It was just this stupid combo of motions that did my wrists in!  For those older MTs like me, who've been at this for over 20 years, try it! It might help!!  Again, I see a sports med guy, and get injections occasionally. I used to have to wear wrist braces, etc.  I was scheduled for surgery until I started using this silly Target laundry detergent! Now, no more pain!  Isn't that so weird? But neat?

Take it all the way to the top. I have even emailed Target hqters before. Didn't do any good

For home things and general odds and ends Target

For groceries Super Walmart. I get my makeup and some hair necessities on-line from specialty websites.  For incidentals, impulse buys like clothes, purses, general fun junque, etc. I like street-side vendors, specialty shops, and some of my favorite chain stores like Kohl's (which I can't live without)!


Well if Target did business like Walmart then the prices would drop but everyone would hate them to.
Walmart fights the good fight for the consumer Target isn't willing to. But love Target commercials and children's clothes. I take the best of both stores and don't begrudge either for their marketing style.
A $14 goose-neck lamp from Target, 40 watt bulb. SM
I have used this little lamp for years in the colder months. It has a nice opaque cover so doesn't give any glare. I tilt it way down so it is pointed right over the keyboard. Keeps my fingers toasty.

For my feet, I use one of those electric lap throws, right over my feet, the foot pedal and the big wooden shelf for the foot pedal that my sweetie built for me.

I don't like to heat the whole house and run up the bill so I try not to turn the furnace above 60 deg. My two little warming devices keep me really comfortable.

Wise
If you want to work on the internet from home, take an internet course
But only from Andrews School or M-TEC. Many companies will waive the 2-years' experience requirement and will test and hire you if you go to either of those schools. Do NOT bother with At Home Professions, Penn Foster, US Career Institute, or ESPECIALLY Trans-Am, which is also known as Trans-SCAM and is a total ripoff. You will have a VERY difficult time getting hired without experience unless you choose Andrews School or M-TEC. Yes, they cost more, but that's because they are excellent training programs, not "correspondence courses."
I wear cheapie ear buds from Target, any brand, usually Koss. Comfy, light, good sound, cheap. nm

Target, Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, Staples, OfficeMax, Office Depot
etc.
Look it up on the internet
There is all kinds of information for dealing with bipolar people. One thing you probably shouldn't do is inform someone, ANYone, that "there is something wrong in their thinking." How do you know? Are they a friend, acquaintance, coworker? Are you concerned or are they merely interfering with YOUR life?

Much depends on where this person fits into your reality.
Internet
I'm tired - it should say internet.  My bad.
If you have DSL internet - please
Please be sure and tell them when then install you!! This is very important because sometimes the DSL can interfere if not connected properly and you will be without protection.
Internet

I would not pay the home office internet price unless they offer something incredible, for example, guaranteedd 24/7 service.  My cable internet company wanted me to switch over to business and when I asked what the difference in services was between paying 39.99 per month and 80.00 per month, I was told I would get first priority on service visits.  Really, I just kind of laughed at the guy...they wanted me to pay twice as much for a quicker service call (BTW, an average wait for a service call is 24 hours or so anyway). 


Anyway, I would not even mention the office use; residential use is the same thing. 


Good luck.. Jamie


Internet
Funny you should say that. I have Roadrunner and I was down totally for about 3 hours. I had to reboot my modem in order to get back on.
internet
My husband works for Sprint. They are starting up wireless internet where are you do is plug in the card and you get fast speed internet connection. Some areas have it incorporated already.
I have att&t internet
I can't really complain about the service. I have lost internet service with them twice since last June. It takes maybe a half day to whole day to get it back up. So you lose a day's work pretty much. I was not happy at all the two times I lost service. When the service was down they did not answer phone calls just put on a recording so I couldn't find out when the service would be back on. That made me angry. You set it up yourself. I think they will come set it up for you but I believe they charge. I did mine myself and it really is simple. They send you a disc that walks you through the setup. Basically like installing software on your computer. Besides those two instances I have been very happy with my service. I have actually had less problems with them than any other previous service providers. And when the service was down the next day they emailed an apology saying how very sorry they were for the inconvenience. All in all I am happy.
Internet.

I was put on an ophthamology account; I figured I'd need a book...  Nope, I've been using Google and getting by just fine.  There are plenty of sites. 


Try this site:  http://www.mtdownloads.com/


Books are so costly, and yet we can get just as much information from the internet if we search the right sites.  I wouldn't buy any books until you start the accounts. 


Hmm, really?. Anyone can say anything on the internet...nm

No internet?
How does she look up terms she can not hear clearly or does not understand?
Lie on the Internet?
Anything you see or read on the internet is about to have a 30% chance of being true. In a chat room, that percentage may be even smaller. You can't take to heart.
Internet
If I can't work without it, which I can't, then it's getting a full deduction.
Welcome to the Internet! :D sm
There is at least one troll on every message board. I said, at least. It's how they get their petty little jollies, often behind the curtain of anonymity. Yeah, quite sad, but for them, not for us.

Unfortunately, if I get dissed by a troll, I don't have the grace to just ignore it, but have to give a snappy retort.

So the term "snarking" has replaced the word "flaming" now. I'll have to remember that! Thanx!
Cable vs DSL internet?
I have cable internet service and will be relocating soon to an area that has DSL.  Just wondering, since DSL goes through the phone line, is there any electrical involved; or should I say, if the electricity goes out does the DSL stop working.  I am wondering, if I invest in a laptop and have DSL also, if electricity goes out, would hardly miss any downtown, with the laptop having battery and all.   Is this correct?
Internet Explorer
Thanks very much! I'll check that out.
I have Internet Explorer
I have never had a problem before like this with it. I just sent tech support an E-mail and I will see what they might say.

Thanks.
Sorry to tell you but that's an internet hoax. sm
I was excited about it too and then found it was a hoax.
I was looking for internet, but thank you for the help and guidance!!!

Internet address
Hello.  I was wondering if anyone knew how to delete internet addresses that are seen when you hit the drop down box.  I have a bunch of them that aren't valid anymore, and I want to get rid of them.  Sorry, I don't know the technical wording, but hopefully you know what I mean.  Thanks.
You go to other internet boards and think everyone

OT Regarding kids and Internet
I just got my old computer all fixed and set up for DH and the kids to use.  HOWEVER, I was wondering if there were settings in Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox so the kids couldn't delete the cookies and history?  Only DH or I could do it with a password?  Also, does anyone use censoring software, like GuardDog, CyberSitter, or CleanNet, for their kids?  I'd like something to block offensive content, but I'd also like to be able to see what they're doing out there IF the need comes up.  The younger kids aren't a problem because they only know DisneyChannel or CartoonNetwork.  However, my niece had problems with using the Internet too much and meeting older guys.  I don't want to resort to keylogging software because I trust my kids and I know they're not doing anything they're not supposed to.  It's the "other guy" I worry about with the Internet stalking, peer pressure and that type of thing.  The kids aren't allowed in chatrooms, instant messaging or message boards.  I do have all their passwords.
internet timing out
Try running your Spyware and virus software - I had virus on my computer that shut the internet down, ran the above software and that deleted the virus. good luck.
Yes, there is on dialup internet. Is that what you use?

Call waiting can also affect it if you don't turn it off in your dialup settings.  Before I get technical, do you use dialup, DSL, cable or something else?
