If Tatum O was not a good actress she wouldn't have work no matter who her daddy was.
But you are right on one count. I would rather watch reality TV than bad acting and TV is filled with bad acting and bad scripts.
I didn't think Tatum did anything wrong unless you think telling the truth is a bad thing.
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 post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
Thanks to all. Got some great feedback and ecouragement. This board is great.
My rant passed, ate a late lunch, now back to the trenches.
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!!
It is a GREAT company and great deal! I've had
Vonage about 6 months now and I love it. The only mistake I made was trying to keep my original phone # - I wouldn't recommend that. You have a temp # for a while, and the other provider can fight for the old #, etc. Go to vonage. com. They have new features all the time! There is even a new soft phone that is a phone on your screen. You don't need a real phone when working - just headset. It has 800 #s you can have very inexpensively - great voice mail. You get emails when you have new messages, etc. I only wish I had used them a year ago! Nothing but good things to say, and I complain about everything! 
Sounds like he will do great then. Again, best wishes for great success!

That's great Patti. Thanks. Have a great time at the beach.

You should feel great as a transcriptionist if they think your work is that great!!!
It is not your fault they approached you. I think it would be a different storey if you were the one searching for the job to take away from a company. They obviously want to get rid of the company and if you didn't take the job they would probably ask someone else. You should enjoy the better position and not feel guilty!!
Great post -great job of wording your answer! (sm)
Original poster - I completely agree with this answer, especially the part about finding yourself and using all that you have learned intellectually and connecting that to something that you will also enjoy with your heart!! You have so many wonderful options for your future - much more than many of us.
IT - great program, great support system. nm

Thanks for all the great advice! You guys are great!

Great job
Hi, I'm interested in finding somewhere flexibile also as I have a little one at home. I'm interested in radiology only. If the place you work for has openings in this specialty could you let me know?? Thanks!
That's great!
I think sometimes people think you are trying to "replace" the dog that died. It's not replace at all, it just helps fill the void. Just like you can never replace a person, you can't replace a pet. They each have their own special place in your heart. Adjustment period - I KNOW!! But it works out. Good luck with your new baby.
great - thanks for this
I've been looking for something like this. Now I have it.
Wow--that's great! Thank you so much
for info
That's great! I like that! Put that right at the
edge of town so noone can hear us scream!
Being an MT is great. Though like with
any job there are going to be issues. If you work in an office, you have to put up with all the crap that goes with it. If you work at home, you don't have to read these boards. There are a lot of negative people in the world, mostly on here! You will have bad days but overall the good will outweigh the bad. I have been an MT for 15 years, 11 of which I have been at home. I have tried going back to an office setting, several times, but have never been happy. I come back home to work and things are fine for a while until the job starts to suck but I get over it. I have children but they go to preschool/school. They do not stay home with me unless they are sick, have a snow day or a short school break. During the summer, they attend camps and preschool. This is not a job to get into to stay home with children. It is a career as an MT, not a daycare provider.
I'd say go for it. You will get out of it what you put into it, like everything else in life! Good luck to you.
GREAT JOB!
I am glad to hear that it worked out -- an IC MT's worst nightmare (I have always had that fear). And extra pay to boot!
Sorry, but not my man. I have a great
husband. We have been married for 23 years. I know he doesn't cheat because he is home every day right after work, calls if he is going to be late, never goes to bars and works his butt off for our family. I'm not saying there haven't been issues but the good in him far outweighs the bad!
You might try giving it another shot. Not all men are scum!
You all are great!

Great
Good for you. Now you need to set your sister straight. I would be so mad at my sister if she did that..I just dont know if I could ever talk to her again, at least not for a long while till she *grew up*. So happy it turned out right for you.
Great help, thanks

great pay
Sounds like the hospital I worked for in Florida. We made 18.00 an hour plus 8 cents per line over so many per day which gave us a bonus of around 1500.00 monthly. Those were the days!
Great TL
I must say, my TL is a gem. Of course, everyone else in management bites the big one but my TL is fair and honest. She has to walk a thin line between keeping her team members happy and letting management think she is totally one of them, but she manages to pull it off.
That is so great to know...thanks! nm

Pay is great.
Don't know about others, but just today in two hours I've made $200 - of course THE best dictator is working today so that is not the norm - but my account pays quite well (per report). I started doing radiology when I worked in a hospital - they "made" everyone do it, so thats how I got my start. When Medquist hired me 8 years ago they automatically put me on radiology - initially I didn't want to for some reason - but now I'm glad I did! Don't look for voice rec takeover just yet - radiology is THE most important department most places and they are VERY picky about stuff - I'd say we radiology MT's still have many good years ahead (but then I could be totally fooled and cryin' the blues in a year or two).
Now its back to the fray - still have 6 hrs. to go and hoping "Dr. Wonderful" stays on the entire rest of my shift!
that was great! nm
Thanks so much!!:) Great to be here:)

This was great!
Thanks!
MDI is great
I think MDI is a great company to work for. There is always work to be done, always other accounts to work on if I run out or the account is slow (which is not too often). I was a team leader at one time, but I got caught on a tough account that expected the impossible. Things have improved with the account and I would be willing to try it again. While I was TL, I was always available for the team 24/7. If you have a problem with getting in touch with your TL, call Deb or even Liz (as she is always stating on this board). There is no sense in you not being happy with your job. I really could not ask for a better company!
I use theirs and it is great.
Extremely easy to use and to add to.
Wow-Great job! Thanks. nm

Sam-e is really great!!nm

I am KY also! Great to have another around.
Oh Great....
 And you'll remember to say "They spend a lot of $$$$ in our country," when you lose your job to one of them, won't you? That thought is BOUND to bring you lots of comfort as you watch your checkbook dwindle down to nothing and your family do without.
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Help
They will answer any question you have regarding Microsoft Word. It's a computer support forum. They seem to respond pretty quick, too!

This is a Great help, thank you!!
Unfortunately, we are just starting and are even the trial group for the entire start-up. I am so nervous as all my bills have gone up, and I am barely making a living to begin with. It all happened with no fore-warning, either. Just, oh, in two days this will be what it is, period. Great company, so far, and I understand they are trying to help us keep our jobs in the long-run, but very bad timing after the holidays, etc.
Thanks so much for giving me a good example.
Also, do you have different classification of pay, like if you are transcribing most of the report, do you get the pay for MT, and are these called editing positions? Shouldn't the job classification change somewhere?
Thanks, again!
if they are so great...
why are they constantly, constantly advertising for MTs and QA people. Gotta wonder!
Can we do that? Really? That is such a great
idea, if you think they would listen. I have 1 doctor on an account who literally cannot be understood. Not by the MTs, not by QA, and I am sure not by his fellow docs, let alone his poor patients. He's the "on call" doctor at the hospital and so gets all the poor patients with no primary on staff. He is absolutely disgusting. I can type ESLs of any dialect or accent - I am very lucky to have developed an ear for ANYTHING, but this guy is beyond words. And how someone doesn't die due to his complete disregard of the English language is a miracle, I would love to stop him if I could. I have thought of sending letters to the hospital, begging to know how he got his credentials. Does it make a difference if we write Joint Commission?
That's great! Go g-ma!!
He does great all day, does not like...
the Pull-Up at night. Don't know why, but I am going to stop diapers tonight. He will just have to wear a Pull-Up and not like it. I do think boys take longer. I don't know why because during the waking hours a grown man can't seem to hold it for 10 seconds. HA! Thanks for the suggestions.
That's so great!
I have 2 now, but think I may have another one coming.
Yes - they are great.
I buy the ones from QVC.COM and they last for months. You get two for around 35.00 and they way outlast Whitebarn candles wallflowers (which I used to use). They are not overwhelming, but leave a very pleasant scent in your house - just remember to flip the reeds over in the bottle from time to time.
This can be great, but...
You also may have only full lines, which are longer than 65... so not so good!! and this is highly highly unusual for a hospital now to offer gross, so a red flag may go up that they are trying to get a good deal for themselves... Good Luck!!!
Great for you!
Is that 65 characters per line? With spaces or without? Also, do you have people working for you that you pay? If so, do you also pay someone to QA? I don't live in Missouri so that really doesn't reflect what rates are in my area.
There are two other services in my town that still charge 9 cpl. No lie. Hard telling what they pay their subs, but it can't be much. I charge a bit more than that but I am fortunate enough to have the bigger practices as clients who care about quality and not just the cheapest way to get reports in their charts. The ones who just want it done and as cheap as possible use the other services and a few still handwrite their notes!! Yep, that's the way things are in this little town I live in so no way would anything over 14 cpl fly. And even 14 is pushing it. Location DOES matter in this biz, and as I've said, there are way too many variables to just tell someone to charge XX amount.
that was great!
And i maen taht wolhaehrdtly
I don't see what's so great about
her voice. gets too screechy when she gets up high  Go Taylor!
That was great thank you so much!!!
:-)
No. You do not have to. If you want to great. sm
If you are already doing what was agreed on then no...take the time and have a life because I know them....they will always want more.
I have found out the hard way that for my peace of mind, my health, the well being of my family, I need some time to call my own.
Remember that this is a job, a means to earn a living. It is not a life to assume and have take over 7 days a week.
I wish you wisdom in your decision and do not fear that keeping a set time for yourself and family is ever a mistake.
