Until he went missing and animal control brought him to me in a bag the next day! Who knows how long he lay in the road after he was hit by that car. It just breaks my heart thinking about it. My cats stay inside now and are very happy with their cat trees and toys.

I thought mine was bad?
I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but to hear you received a check for 1 cent makes me laugh because my check was for $1.18 and I thought that was bad! As the saying goes, "when you think you got it bad, somebody else always has it worse!"
Seriously though, just sit back and laugh about it! I love working for MQ but recently they have been frustrating me!
Perhaps you and I could get together and with my $1.18 and your 1 cent perhaps we could go buy a McDonald's double cheeseburger from the dollar menu and split it and just BS about Medquist - what do ya say?
I thought mine was the only crazy dog that did this
Like clock work, when I sit down at my station, pull up my chair to my desk, he'll wait and watch me. When i've stopped moving and started working, he'll trot right under the desk, plop down and place his little snout right on my foot pedal foot. Does not even bother him when I do the rewind, back and forth to play, his head just bobs along with my foot. I have a bichon mix. It bugs the heck outta me but how can I move him, its too adorable. My cat also used to rest her head on my forehead while I slept.
Wow! and I thought mine was cute! nm

Your training sorta like mine as I also thought
with my having worked in doctor's office, hospitals and so on, I would start out in the transcription department, as a newbie, but mind you I thought it would be a breeze. HA! I had to work with my nose in a book (English and medical) for 12 months before I was ever turned loose to "work." Having said that, the background I got was so much more than if I had taken some course at home. I worked for many different specialities because of the training. Worth it.
and I thought I was bad. I usually wear mine for a week and then change into something else.

I'm in C.FL, too, and thought mine was high at $140! I guess I'm conserving more than I though

That's too bad! I thought he was great! nm
.
Mine is great. I just started though and
she has been very nice--on the phone, responding to emails, providing me with copies, etc.
I thought this was a great post!
Maybe in the wrong spot, but a good post. What a mess, huh? I have to ask - did they charge/bill you for that? I wouldn't be paying!
great description. Never thought sm
of it that way. But sure seems like there is more QA than there use to be. That could be because there are so many new MTs (not knocking the newbies) that the companies are hiring for less money than they deserve so they can get cheap labor. That and the biggest problem, OUTSOURCING!
Wow, what a great site....always mailed mine in but think - sm
I will start doing this. Actually I have not paid at all this year, so maybe I will start now and get a little in the "pot" so to speak. Thanks for the tip, a weekly or bi-monthly payment will certainly help ease the pain and make it more "normal".
That is a great story. I thought you were going to say it was a snake. sm
I used to live in a big old farm house and snakes would get in occasionally. Also an owl came in through the old heater pipe. I miss the country but it would give you a little high blood pressure once in a while.
Great idea...I've often thought of doing some...
thing similar. After all, AAMT was started by individuals with an idea. Unfortunately the original, most likely that *good* idea has been long lost.
So, form a new organization. Set up testing. Issue a credential. Actually represent the American MT. What a concept. 
I just finished training, which I thought was GREAT! sm
The platform is EXText, although I think they have others. I like the way they seem better organized than other companies I've tried. I'll let you know about the 2-week honeymoon period whether the "marriage" will last or not!
Oh Yeah, me too! I love the Queen! I hadn't thought of her, but she'd be great. nm

IN THEIR NATURE ?!?!?!!?!
It's attitudes like that that make them think they have a right to cheat, after all, Boys will be boys............ PLEASE
the nature of what you are looking for
? is it only what we wished we knew as a beginning MT, or every other aspect of the business too?
I know men cheat, its in their nature. I'm just saying
 They don't commit either, and when we get cheated on or rejected it hurts and its just difficult. I wish they weren't like that, always wanting to go after something younger, better or sexier, but yes thats the way it goes. Its awful. Women get the short end of the stick in just about everything. I'm not saying there are no good men out there, but for the most part, I just cannot ever trust one or give up my life for one ever again. Its sad. Guys can find committment and love easily but we women have to claw, grip and lose our minds to find it and hold on to it.
Yes, I think it's human nature
NM
I don't understand it, but it's nature.
Like any other pet, the owner should read up on them and educate him/herself about this particular kind of animal before getting one. If you separate them at the right time, they're fine. You just have to know how to take care of them.
I still think they're pretty. I love their colors and they're comical too - they just "vant to be alone".
LOL
Human nature
People generally don't talk about how happy they are on a regular basis. They tend to want to talk to others when something is bothering them, and focus more on the negative. So I guess it makes sense that you don't see a lot of posts that say "Ladeedah, how I love my job and what a stupendous day it is in the transcription world today!" The job is just a means to a happier life, not the definition of a happy life.
Personally, I feel honored that I am in this profession. Not because of the money or the skill and intelligence that it requires, but primarily because it allows me to be home with my daughter instead of shipping her off to daycare every day for some stranger to screw up. That is why I will deal with the lack of raises, crappy dictators, periodic lack of work, mgmt that is too overworked to care, etc. To be with my baby all the time and still bring in a paycheck, however meager it may be.
Given the extreme nature of your anxiety
plus your other medications, I wouldn't mess with it. Just because it's "natural" doesn't mean there aren't any side effects. The warnings on RxMed say not to take with MAO, SSRI, tricyclic antidepressants or dopamine agonists.
For starters, St. John's wort causes skin photosensitivity, mucus membrane inflammation, and interferes with birth control pills. I don't know if that's a concern for you or not. Kava kava can cause skin reactions, pupillary dilatation, lack of skeletal muscle coordination, and may exacerbate depression.
There are some European studies out there indicating that St. John's wort is effective with mild side effects. Still, I'd avoid taking herbs period with your existing symptoms and medications.
oh you guys are so far out of touch with nature...
you think the whole world is Disneyized. You think the male buck stands over the baby deer and protects it, on his wife's behalf. You think Simba's daddy looks for him when lost. Nature is nasty and completely insensitive to feelings. The law is survival of the fittest. Even daddy seals come in and slaughter babies when they find out a rival fathered them. But go on...dream on your pretty little dreams. I notice the only babies ever really championed for are the cute fuzzy ones...go cuddle a rattlesnake, why doncha!
oh and ps I was not original poster who put this controversy on the board, now was I? 
Because of my competitive nature, I would use it as incentive to
produce more and make more money.
I always like to know where I fall compared to other MTs - am I in the middle of the pack, on the bottom or on top. If I am not on top, than I would do my best to get there. That is just my nature. I strive to be the best that I can be, although sometimes we all fall short. No biggy!! Just do your best and produce what you physically can, and that will have to be enough for that particular day.
Just use the daily information as an incentive for yourself!
Good luck to you.
missed point nature
North, south, east and west do not change, correct. It was funny as she said "depends on which way you are coming from." Here in our berg, streets try to be north and south, east and westbound, as that was an east and westbound street they were on. Just killed me, sorry I was entertained.
Snakes do a lot of good in nature, most are harmless.

Use mother nature's WOOD HEAT !!
and maybe get a down comforter for the back bedroom...
"It's all about me" - nature of the beast - literally
x
Hope U are just baiting us and your nature isnt

Its human nature to impose on other people whats right for yourself!
Even when its not asked for. Maybe some people like to surround themselves with nonsense and chaos, where as I like peace and quiet! I think people who like working with other people are either pretending or just plain crazy!
No - I do not want implants or a mastopexy - I was just wishing for nature to take care of it!
My breasts are of a nice size naturally. I am not vain - underwire bras are fine for me.
Tax guy told me because of nature of job and way computers outdate so quickly, could get new one

I'm paranoid by nature, I guess. :) I agree that not all of the services out there are bad. SM
I've just not had much luck with any service and the one I spoke about above was the worst. That was early in my career and I felt like I was pretty close friends with the supervisor and then to be treated the way I was treated, really just hurt. Ever since then, I've distanced myself in my work life. Business is business.
I will say, though, that I am a loyal person. If I'm treated fairly, I will give 110%. I think that's what happening these days in the MT world. MTs aren't getting treated very fair and there are just bad feelings everywhere. You're constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. If a job offer is too good to be true, then it probable is too good to be true. And now everyone is playing cover your behind and making sure contracts cover everything. I just think MTs need to play hardball like the big companies. If you are working as an IC, you should have a ready made contract for whatever service you contract with. Why should you be the only one signing rights away?
I've also had the opportunity to read the contract between a big service and one of their hospital clients. The line rate that this particular service charged was mind boggling. I don't feel bad about stealing accounts away from services like that.
I agree Nature Sounds better than music.. IMHO.. NM

It was rude in nature. 'Thanking' people for cherrypicking was uncalled for.

Very interesting! I liked it! right Girl will Destroy Game without any questions: http://www.nature.
I enjoyed your site so much so i have to say it to you. Full Tournament Love or not , Tremendous Chips becomes Big Table in final Chips can Percieve Table , Collective Opponents becomes Curious Gnome in final Loose TV is very good Cards
Funny! Mine is almost as large, and I don't mind cleaning mine!
It's no problem at all. Besides, I'll take lots of oodles of square footage any day of the week over living in a sardine can!
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

Mine isn't like that. Mine is 2. All are programmed different.

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

Mine are 10, 7, and 4.....sm
I get up early and get my work done by noon. If I have more that needs done I do it late at night after they go to bed. I have a very flexible schedule, so as long as the work is back in 24 hours it doesnt matter when I do it. Mine are all girls, so they play really nice together. My 10-year-old is pretty good at keeping the 4-year-old playing. When the two older ones are is school, my 4-year-old is pretty good at playing with her toys, computer or books until I am done. I stop occasionally to read to her or play with her, but I am usually done everyday at noon. For me personally, I would never use daycare. I would try to make it work with the little ones at home. I used to work in a very demanding hospital job doing insurance and billing. When I started work at home I knew I would never see another day care again! Good luck to you and hope you can find a way to get the little ones to stay at home with you!
not mine
I did not make that post
