I wasn't talking about stopping work today. Before we do

how many of us there are. We need to be locating and contacting MTs who don't use MT Stars or other MT boards, and start networking with them. Five or six of us from this board deciding to stop work today isn't going to change anything. We have to get our numbers up, and get all of our collective antennae pointed in the same direction.

And, again, I wasn't talking about you. sm
When I said I thought maybe she overindulged her children, I wasn't referring to where she takes them. I was referring to her comment about how she needs the time away from them, and how even her mother admitted she must be pulling her hair out trying to deal with them. By overindulged, I meant by the way she must let them behave and the attitudes she lets them get off with, or she wouldn't need so much time away from them. So, again, no ... I wasn't speaking about you.
well then I wasn't talking to you at all...sm
you posted at me *don't feel sorry for me* and I see no posts of mine feeling sorry for you or even talking with you.........
I wasn't even talking about that discussion down there
because someone besides BusyMT was doing the same thing to other people, telling them what to do and how to feel. Then this person was being overly dramatic and defensive whenever anyone responded to her, no matter how rational or emotion-free our posts were. If it's not PMS, a full moon, or a hangover, what is it then? Jealousy? Bitterness? Just because some of us CHOOSE this profession and can make decent money at it, why does this person have to attack us personally? And WHY do the moderators let her get away with it? If you hate this profession so much, find your heart's desire and go for it. I promise you that there is something out there that will make you happy. You just need to find it. Flaming people anonymously on a message board is NOT your happy spot.
I'm sure she wasn't just talking about this board
wasn't talking about them..just ACDC but
if you think it is ok for kids to illicit drugs, engage in promiscuous sex, drink, etc., then by all means let them listen to music that promotes that! now there's some responsible parenting! lol
So? That's your opinion. I wasn't talking
!!
thus; I wasn't talking to you; I can't believe I have to explain this to you.

we are not just talking about it more, there is more of it today --
I believe there is a direct connection to the pornography and sexual suggestivity everywhere we turn. I live in a teentsy sized town. I know of one man here who has done 2 prison terms for molestation. Now i learned this a.m. there is another 1-1/2 blocks away, level 3 offender, and yet another moving in across the street...it has always been around, but i am confident there is definitely MORE than ever also.
What are you talking about? Most recent IS from today!!
Brenda, what are you thinking today's date is exactly? You have us all puzzled!
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm
my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away! I checked and the Type It button is grayed out! I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies. Can anyone please help me ASAP? I am lost without it! TIA
All I know is it caused the company I work for to be unable to do all work due today and the rest
:+
No. MTs who are not motivated end up talking and we did all the work
dd
DH either comes to me or I go to him if I'm at a stopping point. We always hug
and kiss. We are also on different schedules and he goes to bed early and I work late and he fixes me a chai latte every night and kisses me before heading off to bed. If I'm still up when he gets up I get a hug and a kiss before he leaves.
My SIL used this and had no problem stopping.
She couldn't stand taste after starting this and now she can't even stand the smell. It's probably been 4 years since she did this.
there's no stopping outsourcing now
what many people don't understand is this is just the beginning. We and our children will be competing against the best in the field from ANY country- Ireland, China, India...so one better find a job that has to be done HERE - which could be anything from window-washing to nursing...or be prepared to be very good at what you do...
But what is the pay? maybe that is what is stopping MTs from taking the jobs
Most jobs out there only want to pay 8 cpl if that much.
No one wants to work for peanuts.
There may be a few out there worth taking, but they dont last long.
Fast forward, very little stopping, no
calls. I have done this hospital so long that very easy for me, know the dictators, these are the 4s also. I do some straight (training hospital). My favs are ops also and it is just fast, fast typing and fast forward on the VR. I did not want to work fulltime anymore so set this 3000 per line on the days I work so I can still bring home what I want to make.
Then stopping trying to negate her feelings
Bully for you that you wouldn't feel slighted. How wonderful that you don't mind the benign neglect of your husband regarding your anniversary. At least, one would assume, that your husband does something that contributes to making your life pleasant, happy, and easier on a regular basis or does something that nurtures your soul in a romantic or loving way. However, other than signing my paycheck, while at the same time finding ways to get more work and more hours for less pay, my company does very little to foster the warm fuzzy feeling necessary to be able to overlook a cheap slight. As someone pointed out earlier, a 1 penny tip to a waitress is designed as an insult. I've gotten coupons worth more than $5 out of the Sunday paper, and I didn't have to risk carpal tunnel or sacrifice family time to get it.
OUT OF WORK TODAY ALSO
I don't think it matters which office you are out of (below posts) so much as which accounts. I am out of the Denver office and usually have work, but occasionally run out, mostly on weekends, holidays, AND AT THE END OF THE PAY PERIOD. Darn! I knew I would "pay" for taking that 3 hour swimming break in the outdoor pool up at the lake yesterday. Sure was nice though...getting our last "licks" in for the summer!!
I'm sorry, but I can't work today.
Mercury's in retrograde, you know.
Did it work for you today? nm

Who should I work for today? DQS or other?
I'm skeptical about DQS today. I have the option of working for one employer running the DQS platform, or my second job with another company, which is not on DQS.
Any work today?
Since there are no updates from the supervisors, I don't want to log in unless there's a reason. I'm in the south region.
I think the idea of the time for posting re this stuff is a good idea. It's 1:00 PM CST here.
Thanks.
True. So then don't work. We're talking CHOICES here. nm

I have my own accounts and I work as an employee, but we are not talking about BEING an MTSO, we are
the MTSO's offer. If you are a well-trained, knowledgeable medical Transcriptionist with experience and you are looking for an IC job or an employee position with an MTSO, then you are worth more than 8 or 9 cpl. If all you do is sit and transcribe all day long, you are worth more than 8 or 9 cpl.
I really don't know what you're getting at. Not everyone has the capabilities, time, or money to start their own service. Not everyone is good at pounding the pavement and finding their own accounts. I'm not a salesperson to say the least. I lucked into my own personal accounts and if I hadn't, I'd be working for one of the MTSOs, but I'm not. My full-time employee status job is with a hospital for the benefits only and it pays hourly with incentive. Right now, that's the only employee status job worth taking is through an actual hospital, NOT an MTSO. At least at the hospital, you get a decent wage and get great benefits. Oh, there are a few good MTSOs out there, but they are very few and far between.
Thank you all. Upon talking to tech support I have the answer... it will work. nm

My trick for stopping expansions from expanding....SM
This might not work for you but I find it quicker to add it in my shortcuts. I simply add the last letter on it again when I don't want it to expand. For example, BP = blood pressure but BPP = blood pressure. COPD = chronic.... but COPDD = COPD. That's a lot faster for me than to do all those other steps. Just thought I would throw that out there in case it might work for someone else too.
Just stopping by to wish all a Happy Turkey Day coming up....nm

What would you be doing today if you didn't have to work?
I'd be sitting outside in the sunshine reading a book and watching the kids play in the kiddie pool. Hmm, sounds good to me. I wonder how fast I can get this work done. oi!
Any other MQers out of work today?
I have been staring at a 'no jobs' screen all day (about 5 1/2 hours so far). I even called the office (Denver). Anyone else out of work? I am going out to check the mail and see if I have a check!! (See below posts.)
anyone running low on work at MQ today
How's work flow going today?
No work with MQ and just checking to see how others are doing with January work flow.
MDI Maryland has plenty of work, you are talking about the wrong one - Florida maybe?. nm

Is Hurricane Dennis affecting anyone's work today?

Yep, I had to work today, didn't get dinner started until 1:30
So just got done with dinner at 5 pm!! But just thankful to have a job at home where I got to spend the day with my daughter, rather than if I would have had to go out to work today, like some people did! Maybe someday I will get the holiday off, but this is second best!
Here's a funny typo for you. I saw this at work today on a chart.
BUT, you are brilliant. Keep up the good work! You are my hero for today! nm
.
Today is different and you cannot fight companies who LEGALLY can offshore work.
So all Americans refuse to buy goods, shop at stores, or work for companies who offshore. That leaves a mess. Do you realize a lot of American companies are actually owned by foreigners? Get real and move into 2005. You are going to spend a lot of time boycotting once you do the research. I doubt you will be able to shop or work at all.
Did a whole 388 today....this is why I try not to work when the kids are home/awake - basically impo

There is a 2 lb. baby chihuahua laying at my feet while I work today. So precious. nm
Just got it today. Just stopped pacing to try to calm down. Didn't work. See inside---
The cover story should be posted on their online site within a month or so for those who do not receive the printed version as well.
Wait a minute, I'm not just talking about the boards, I'm talking about the news article.
Specifically,
"JLG has a contract with Arrendale Associates/ A+Network/CBay Scribe, which the group says is in India.
A letter from JLG to Barbara Dingman, chief compliance officer and director of health information management, says all medical transcriptionists assigned to the Medical Center Hospital account live in the U.S. and all work is done in America."
But yet they do business with Arrendale/A+/CBay, what am I missing here?
I'm talking about MT school, not K-12, which is where I learned most of what you are talking abou
My clients DO NOT LIKE IT when I correct their wrong crap - did you actually read what I said?
I'm not talking about ignorant as in grammar or spelling. I'm talking about sm
ignorant in general.
Perhaps you are right. This one is dated today. The original article was on Yahoo today also with
But this article states it would only affect new customers right now. So I am upset over nothing. I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge. I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me. It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc. It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.
The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers

Blasted cold out today. It was 104 degrees last week, but it's 40 degrees today with rain.
However, I do like cozy days like today when I don't have to go anywhere. I'm done working, the house is clean, there's chili on the stove for dinner already, and I'm just putzing around. I think I'll go bake some jalapeno cheese bread to go with the chili.
If it really isn't you or wasn't you...
I would check out the posts made by MQMT under "Straw that broke the camel's back". Maybe I'm seeing double....who knows anymore at this stage of the game!! Have a good day.
By the way, I did have a complete burnout on MTing after about 30 years so took a two year break; Glad I'm back now but the break was a "good thing"!!
Maybe the CEO wasn't (sm)
addressing students who were kicked back in their easy chair with time to surf the internet. Maybe he only meant it for students that had evacuated and would eventually find their way to a computer where they could go online and contact the school, since they didn't have the phone number in their pocket when they ran.
I know it wasn't
my post. I just get tired of people who seem to be looking for a reason to jump all over some one. You are the one who needs to take a chill pill. Unlike you, I am perfectly calm.
Actually it was. I wasn't trying to
say your kids are perfect angles or be a smart ass. Maybe I should have worded that better. Sometimes you/we come across different in emails, internet or whatever then what you/we are really trying to say. Maybe we all did. Enough said.
