I seems strange that clients would be jumping

In Reply to: I just heard clients are now - jumping ship
ship when the TAT time is pretty much up to the minute. You would think transcriptionists would be jumping ship instead. I don't believe the clients are jumping ship.

Jumping in here .....
But I just wanted to say that I know very well where both Rome and Douglasville are -- I'm in Cedartown !!
JUMPING
Change your macro or Expander to include a destructive backspace.
jumping
Also, if you do not use those fields to type on you can simply hit Alt + A then ctrl + shift + F9 and it will turn all the field codes to test instead of having to go delete them all.
No hoop jumping
I said nothing about specific companies, nothing about cpl. It was mentioned having to sit for days with no work and to that I say, then why stay? Keep one job while you look for another, but there is no reason to stay with a company that has no work. And while we are at it, why do so many people say "Tell me a good company that pays well." Do you want someone else to write your resume and do the work for you, too. Check out ALL the MT boards, Google for jobs, send out resumes, make phone calls. As has been said a million times on this board, a good job for one will not necessarily be a good job for another. Just don't sit staring at an empty screen, waiting for the MT fairy to drop jobs in your lap. Last I heard, her job was sent to India.
Jumping in topic....
A third of my work is radiology and the rest is basic four reports. I prefer doing rad because of the fast pace. It's a small hospital with a rotating doctor and I do anywhere from 50 to 150 (this is not counting combined reports) reports a day which only takes a couple of hours of my day. Would really like to do more rad but afraid of the committment it would mean. Any suggestions?
Ctl + F9 works for me, then F11 does the jumping
Have you taken MT courses yet? Or are you just jumping in on your own? nm

You are right. I guess I'm jumping the gun. It
just really upset me. I'll be shocked if it's NOT true, but stranger things have happened. Time will tell.
I'm jumping in a day late.
I just wanted to second that dogs don't do well with berber. My dog loosened one loop while chewing/playing with something (I can't remember whether it was a treat or toy). When he realized what he'd done, he then proceeded to pull it until I had a huge run in the carpet dead center in the room. We've never had behavior problems with him since we got him, but he didn't know any better and kept right on going. I vowed never to get berber again after that.
jumping around in word doc
Is there anyway that you can jump around in a word document? Meaning say if i have a template set up with all these headings is there a way just to put a * or something after the heading and be able to hit shortcut keys to jump right to that spot so I could start typing. THANKS FOR THE HELP!
Why is everyone jumping all over her post?
I don't believe she mentioned that she believes there is anything wrong with prayer. I think she was surprised to hear this being dictated. It is surprising! I have never come across such a statement in my entire career. It doesn't mean that prayer between patient and physician does not happen, it just is unusual that it is being dictated...that's all.
Jumping to fields
Hi everyone! For years I have been jumping to fields in Word by using the F11 key. Does anyone know if I can customize my keyboard to use alt/c to jump around and how to set that up?
Thanks!
Those jumping on you are jealous, that's all.
I think when some people got into transcription, they figured it would be easier than it is. It's a real job that you have to concentrate on at all times. I don't answer the phone, my husband knows not to bug me and when my kids were still at home they knew not to bother mom while she's working.
This is still a great career for me. I get as much work as I want and make as much money as I want.
Again - Someone jumping to conclusions
Is it that they can not comprehend what they read? This post was an effort at encouragement to some, not all. Again, someone takes a sentence out of context, turns it into something else, just so they can be this rude. No some may not want out of this business. It is all they have left. What she was encouraging was that if you are still young enough, why not start searching for another passion if this one has been taken away from you? I don't think the message was too hard to comprehend. If you want to "vent" (if that is what some call it), please do not do it to people who do not deserve this.
There you go jumping to conclusions.
above.
I really don't have any problem jumping accounts
A bit time delaying at first to learn the specifics and keeping the client profile open for referrence.
The only thing I hate is when I'm literally changing accounts with every other report and realize (usually as I hit send) that I did things on that report that is the standard from the account previously ie: number med list versus not...using 1. vs 1) etc.
Woops. I am so sorry for jumping the gun like that. Didn't know. Sorry! :(
nm
You are certainly jumping to conclusions. I assure you sm
I would not send anyone to AAMT for any reason.
For 63 yrs old, I was surprised he's still jumping aound like that.
I think alot of people are jumping to --sm
conclusions here about the whole situation, including yourself. You do not know that just because she gave your husband's friend a ride home, that anything happened between them. Since she already had his friends cell number, perhaps he simply left something in her car and she wanted to return it. It could be totally innocent on everybodies parts. She may not even be aware he is married. But any way, that all is between your husband's friend and her. Since your husband told you about it in the first place, I think there is nothing to worry about in that respect. However, your over reaction to it will probably change things between you and him, and calm open communication is the only thing that may change that back. You already crossed the line with a jealous outburst, and perhaps will never be able to cross back. He will always see you in a different light now, and that you possibly do not trust him, and he will be very careful about what he tells you in the future. I have learned through experience that jealousy, anger, and mistrust are the quickest ways to drive your husband to find someone else. Secondly, if there IS an affair going on between the friend and this woman...it is none of your business. Don't confront the friend..don't confront the other woman...and definitely do not call the wife to tell her. If there is an affair going on, she will find out on her own, but if you stick your nose in, and they patch things up between them, you will have lost a friend for yourself, and your husband. Stay out of it. I definitely think you need to sit down with your husband and calmly talk about this. Tell him that you are sorry for over reacting and that you DO trust him. That is the most important. Never bring up the phone call again. Never ask for the number. He probably feels that you will interfere in something that is not your concern and that is why he does not want you to have it...not because something is going on. He thinks you will embarrass him. that is all. Don't start making waves when you are the one who would end up losing in the long run. Trust me...I know. I was jealous and suspicious of my ex husband and all of his female friends. I reacted to every situation with jealousy and anger, and tried to FORCE him to stay with me. If they want to go, you can't stop them from going. I ended up losing him because I drove him away with mistrust and jealousy. He is married to her now, and I hope they are very happy together. I am not angry and I am not bitter. I did it to myself and I take full responsibility for that. I just do not want to see it happen to anyone else, because it can be avoided simply by how you approach things. Take care and good luck to you.
Cannot remember macro for jumping
I need a macro for Word 2003 to jump to ?? as the next field and, even though I've done this before, I cannot for the LIFE of me remember how to do it. 
Any clues? THANKS in advance!
Microsoft Word margin jumping
Hello. I've had this happen before when opening MS Word and suddenly the curser jumps to the very top of the page and not at the usual 1" margin that I have set at. Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't remember how I did it last time. It just started doing this again. I've checked my margins and they are fine in page set up.Thanks.
That's hilarious, hiring bonus. Everyone jumping ship?

I'm afraid if you posted anything on here, people will just start jumping -
down your throat. People on this board, unfortunately, are notorious for that. Hopefully, you are working for a better company now and not dealing with the MQ problems and accounts.
If you have the knees for it, jumping rope slims fast.
Jumping rope is effective because it doesn't build a lot of muscle bulk in the thighs, which many women don't want. You get calf definition and it works your core muscles, arms, and especially your heart and lungs. The effect is very slimming.
But I also saw a study that said men slim fastest with aerobic exercise, and surprisingly, women slim down fastest if they do strength training in addition to aerobics. Weird, hey?
They're great! Lots of sweating, jumping, dancing. Fun! I just ordered more. nm

Need to get up every 2 hours and take some sort of break. Food, dog walk, jumping jacks, laundry,
.
strange...
I have to say I go with the rudeness. This industry is falling apart. Poor management runs rampant. I have encountered the same thing as you have. Once in a blue moon, I will run in a recruiter or manager who is on the ball and actually returns phone calls. Most of the time, they act like you should feel blessed if they deign to call you back.
I too am in search of intelligent management/MTSO.
Do you think it is strange that
a father would take a bath with his 2 year old daughter and not see anything wrong with that? Or is it me?
Yes! Very strange! and even if it were the other way around
a mom and her 2-year-old son it would be just as strange.
There is just no need and absolutely no reason for it other than...well you know the answer to that...it's in your gut instinct already.
That's strange...
I don't see where anyone was rude to her. Everyone has given her excellent advice!
That is strange
Patti, I wonder if that MT might be just using all letterhead so that is all that needs to be ordered, so they do not have to order matching paper for second pages. However, IF that were the case, I would assume the letterhead page would cost the doctor more, so that may be a way to present it as well to the doctor once you take over the account completely since $ talks for most of these docs. :D Also, if I understand you correctly, some reports are being done on letterhead that should be on plain paper and, if so, that is a real waste of money for the docs! I am with you - I have never seen anyone do that in my life. It is not only incorrect but, as I said, may actually cost more for the letterhead paper.
I was told on one account I work for that there are a couple words that I should divide/hyphenate that technically are one word. I was told that they wanted all the words consistent that begin with this same prefix as some are divided/separated; however, some are not, and it is not correct, and I just can't force myself to do what I know is wrong! I guess if I were to told "do it my way or else", then I would. Otherwise, I am doing it correctly. :)
BTW, congrats on landing the new account and best wishes!
I don't think that is strange at all....
the harder the work, the more money it pays. That makes sense to me, if you have work that you HAVE to get done.
No, there's others. But it's strange, I almost took a job there too.
Wow, I guess I'm just destined to have to put up with it. I'm so scared about it though.
Strange
That is really strange. I have no idea why that would be happening. They must not pay for spaces or something. I would ask the company she works for. Sorry, I'm not much help.
Very strange
I just began filling out an application to a transcription service advertising on another MT forum. Halfway down the application page it is asking for my social security number. There is no way in (you know where) I am giving that out. I find this a bit shady if you ask me. Why do they need my SS#?
strange
Well I have to agree with you there. That was strange. That is so rude to start firing questions off at you when she is the one that should be answering the questions. I mean I could understand after you were done with your questions her asking a couple things she was interested in knoweing. But that is strange. And then tell YOU I will let you know in a couple days. I think you made a wise decision against using her to fill the position.
That would be really strange
I can't imagine any computer sold now that didn't have more than 1 USB port; Looking at all the old computers laying around here, I've got an old laptop that's about 10 years old that only has 1. Are you sure there isn't a batch of USB ports on the front? If you really are total computer newbie, you might be mistaking the internet input for a USB port. If you truly only have 1 USB port, I suggest you immediately invest in a hub. Speaking for myself, I use a port for my keyboard, a port for my mouse, and a port for my footpedal. Then you get into accessories- my camera requires a port, my printer needs a port, and my jump drive gets a port. There's other stuff that I don't use quite as regularly. I can't imagine a new computer with less than 4 ports.
I think it is strange
that dictators don't ask for feedback. If I were dictating, I would let the transcription company know that I wanted feedback regarding anything I could to to be more effective. And there are those who HAVE to know that they make it very difficult. That's pathetic if you ask me.
Is it just me, or is this strange?
Today, I had a doc, under family history, include the medical history of the family dog. It wasn't anything contagious or anything like that. He even reported on when the dog gets his yearly physical exam and immunizations. Strange..
A little strange, yes...
... I had an overly-detail-oriented dictator once who discussed the bowel habits of the patient's dog.
Only thing I could think of was, if it was on the patient's mind, then the doc figured it was part of the entire "holistic" picture, if you will. And since I was being paid on production, I wasn't gonna argue that it was a waste of time.... Although I once asked him, to his face, why use one word when ten will do? (He didn't quite get it.)
you are asking strange questions
I don't post anything that is not true! Guess I'll have to sound like it was back in the 60's with Nixon......I have a very reliable, high level source in the company, that is all I can say.... PLUS the account is small enough, and the number of transcriptionists covering the account is small enough that when your job numbers jump by over 100 from one report to the next and all you get are the "bad" dictators I would hope even you would realize that something is going on, don't you?
Seems kinda strange,
if it is just for 911 purposes, it could be so that emergency personnel could have several contact numbers in case of an emergency. However, I've moved 6 times in the past 8 years, and I've never had to give that info out for any of my utilities.
Strange but true:
You may want to be careful when you criticize a company, because your remarks may have the opposite effect from what you intended. I work for a relatively small MT service. Some time ago, we had a lady work for us who, for whatever reason, was angry when she left and said whenever she saw our company name mentioned on any of the message boards, she would say negative things about us... and she did. But here's the interesting part - inevitably, shortly after each time she has flamed us, we've had an increase in job applicants - people saying they've heard of us on whatever message board her remarks have appeared on. As a result, we've hired several really good transcriptionists. Not exactly the effect she intended, but we're all pleased with the way this has turned out.
Strange but true - NOT
Could it be that after someone posts something negative the owner of the "small company" comes on and posts how great the company is to work for posing as one of the MTs. I would believe that before believing your story.
You are undoubtedly strange indeed
What the heck are you smoking? You are a total whack job! Actually, you are making me a bit uneasy with your wierd thoughts and comments. You are very contradicting - go re-read your posts?!?!?!
Seriously, did I do something personal or what? Please, don't act like little miss nicey-nice - I am not alone on picking up your strange comments. I want clarity - and by that I mean, what are you implying by saying multiple, welcome back everybody, we missed you all, etc! No time for games, cut to the chase and tell me exactly what you are talking about!
T-shirts el al will be strange to him to and in trying to get those off, he could still get at
:i
It is strange to me that one of the criteria
is whether the company made money. Gosh.
It sounds to me like they are copping out on paying you period. Especially if by your calculations you earned the bonus.
No communication; no bonus payout ... for me, I'd never type another minute for them again.
Bless your heart.
Their hours are strange. SM
One by me was opened and hour and a half in the morning, closed for "lunch", then reopened for another hour and a half. I thought I would be able to fit time in, being MT and all, but whenever I went, they were always closed. I would strongly consider asking about hours and really thinking about it. Actually, program is lots of fun, when able to get to it.
Yes, but here is a strange thing. SM
A friend of mine hired on with MDI-FL and when she got her material overnighted, the Fed-Ex slip had Transcend on it. She called Transcend and MDI-FL called her back. What's up with that?
