In Reply to: Can I sue MT company? - ex-MQer
If you're hanging around waiting on work, you're the one deciding to do so.
When you run out of work, go file unemployment if you are working as an employee. Tell them immediately you are filing for unemployment since they are out of work and also looking for another position ... and then go do it.
You can't force companies to provide you with work if they don't have any. I don't think your argument holds any water at all. You're the one sitting around waiting on it.

Right with you but you are wasting your time here. sm
Some of this thinking is too twisted for words.
oh please - stop wasting my time
you sound like a child
a break as in wasting our time witht the BS and tell the truth.
blah, blah, blah, it's so hard with lying MTs and picking up the extra work and loads of e-mails and not much pay blah, blah, blah. You read the posts. You need a break from BS?
that is pretty much how I feel, just wondered if I was wasting time. nm

I'm not wasting 45 minutes of my time for a 2 minute voice file.
I'm not wasting my time on a physician who can't or won't speak half way decently, English born or not. I don't have to work for crappy doctors. I found ones who are willing to make an effort if they can't speak English, they try and spell things as do my English docs. I've been an MT for a VERY long time. I'm an excellent MT and have nothing to prove to you. Have a wonderful holiday season filled with KINDNESS. Try being a little less judgmental. Sounds like you ride atop a very high horse.
Two jobs don't equal one when it comes to making money and not wasting time. sm
Recommend looking for one good job.
You would just be wasting money SM
My advice, adjust the line rate you are charging to accommodate their line counting method. Be prepared to lose the client, though. The problem you are having now is one the MTs working for large services fought and lost 7 or 8 years ago...just be glad you had a good run as far as money and welcome to our club.
If I were going to Honolulu, I sure wouldn't be wasting my
Can anyone say worthless?
you're wasting your life being an MT
Get that monkey outta there.
you're the one wasting bandwidth.

Also this seems to help energy..
I take a good prenatal vitamin, B150 vitamins, calcium, magnesium& zinc, along with some others, but I think these are the most important and help my energy level. GYN doctor put me on prenatal (going through menopause).Important to eat and not get into junk food, quick grab habit...
It is "speed" , of course it gives you energy! nm

I take energy supplements as well
I started taking them to help me lose weight, but I do find that my production increases when I take them. But I end up having a hard time sleeping at night. I also get headaches on the weekends when I don't take them and I'm extremely fatigued without them. If you thought you were tired before you tried the energy drink, wait till you stop it. It'll take about a week to get back to normal. I think the other poster is right - try to get a walk in. You also might want to try shorter shifts - that's what I'm trying now. Work an hour or 2 and take an hour break. It may take longer to get your work in but it's not as mentally exhausting. This job is mentally exhausting. Most people don't realize that.
The days I have energy and no hot flashes.

Seems to help me... Keeps me motivated, energy up... et cetera. NM
:)
B150 is a great energy source...
The only place I can find them around here is Wal-Mart.
Yes....except I'd go for steak, that way I'd have plenty of food and energy

P.S. Channel some energy into agility classes
perhaps! Sounds like a great candidate if he/she can jump and get your sunglasses! Lots of classes for agility in most areas, and lots of fun for dog and owner, not to mention exercise! Woof!
It is because the body burns fat instead of glycogen for energy. sm
Without carbs, there is no insulin spike to store fat as fat in the body, so it goes through it or is burned as energy. The body preferentially burns fat stores since there is no glycogen to burn because there is no consumption of carbs.
Energy drinks. Caffeine and sugar, sm
and all kinds of vitamins. I like the Sobe one. I even drink it in the morning now, instead of coffee.
Staying Focused -Energy Drinks
I am having a huge problem. I cannot seem to find the energy to work all day. This sounds so bad because I sit all day! Seriously though, it feels like I get so bored sitting here at the computer. When I drink some of a Nos energy drink, however, work is so fun, I have tons of energy, and I make a lot of money sitting here. I love this work, but what's the deal? I don't even like consuming caffeine. I got an energy drink the other night to stay up all night and finish some STATs, and now I feel like I can't work without it. It was hard to focus even before I started the caffeine. What is going on here?  Why can't I just get my work done like a normal person?
I take MetaboLife, ephedra free. Love it, lots of energy. nm

My favorite gifts over the years were the homemade ones - congrats for having the energy
I agree, too. I'm just so tired of it all, don't have the energy left to argue with 'em any

Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
Yeah, our choc. lab does that from time to time - makes it interesting!- nm

Cannot legally require you to commit time to them as an employee and then not pay you for that time.

full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
Maybe they will. Give it time. It takes time to set up links.
OSI, Precyse, etc tell us more.
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...
newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)
I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.
There is a new classification called part time.
I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

its a waste of time yet you take the time to respond?
**yawn time for your bed time old thinker*
Hippie?? What pray tell is a hippie? Im not judgmental..I dont care what another is partying about or with or whom they are with..Im not a cop or the warmonger in the White House..far be it from me to judge another..You, however, by your post seem to have grown old before your time..I recommend you just graze on your back yard grass and leave us **alive ones** alone..**yawn**, time for you to go to bed now, hun? Bye..bye..old person..
I do believe she is good enough, and has more than proved that time and time again. NM

part-time or full-time
I'm curious. Are you FT or PT? Thanks.
4 week's time or 4 weeks' time
Does anyone know this one. I will see the patient back in 4 week's time, 4 weeks' time or 4 weeks time. Can't seem to find this in any of my reference books. Thanks in advance.
1 full time and 1 part time for now
I am still pretty new, so that is all I am taking on. I may take on more after I get more experience, if possible.
I never denied that I need a break from time to time, but
I was just stating how I took her post and the fact that I am worried about how my son will react since he is already getting quite upset. But, yes, any parent SHOULD be able to admit that they need a break from time to time...we're only human too! :)
even ISPs have to do maintenance from time to time--sm
and most do this during the wee hours of the morning when MOST people are sleeping and not using the internet. They need to upgrade their services and virus protection just like the home users. This is probably what occurred.
I recently requested time off for the first time...
(3 days off) and gave 2 weeks notice but was asked by my boss to give more notice next time. I thought 2 weeks was decent, but next time I will give at least 30 days.
Do we enter each time there is a new prize, or just the one time?
thanks.

Utter waste of time, unless you have a lot of time--then have at it! nm

Virtually never. Time spent doing that is time SM
that could be spent typing. Instead of stopping to listen, then typing to catch up, I scan AHEAD of the dictation as I type, looking for upcoming questionable areas.
Yeah, but full-time lines does not necessarily mean full-time hours, so I would do it if your produc
