I would lend support to her if she wasn't blaming everyone but herself.

In Reply to: really?? - amazed
She was just on TV blaming these "two criminals" who have been left go because there was NO EVIDENCE to keep them and asking other nations not to take them in. Where in the world does she get off. What EVIDENCE does she have to support her "theory" that these two boys were "criminals" and who died and left her in charge of other nations as to who they should take in to their country. She is implying that the Aruban government is not competent to decide whether or not there is evidence to keep these people in custody. She needs to put her EVIDENCE up front as to why she is making these demands and accusations or sit down and SHUT UP. She is coming very close to libel without information to backup her accusations and I would think she should recognize that. If she is going to shoot off her uninformed mouth, let her do it in her own country.

You could always ask the company to lend you one sm

Personally, I would not purchase one as the way of the future is on-line software. Just my opinion.

I'm not blaming MS Word
First off, I'm not blaming MS Word. I have been in touch with them about this problem, and THEY TOLD ME that MS Word counts differently on every computer.
The actual report that is submitted to the client is exactly where they get their line count. Count is based on 65 chars including spaces and nothing else.
Easier said than done. Quit blaming the MT for this!! nm

it isn't funny blaming it on Microsoft
Now if you want to talk about not keeping up with upgrades, then you don't know the history of how long it took to get a Windows version of ST on the market. It literally tooks YEARS to get a Windows version out with many MTs having direct contact with J and with J pubically apologizing and promising it was being worked on. I have to defend J. on this one. He passed control of the product over to Williams and Wilkins and that is the company who is responsible for supporting it. Do you really think a company that makes it's money primarily on selling word books and medical software is going to give much attention to this ~small~ ST when it has bigger fish to fry? Especially when all you have to do is utilize a verion of word prior to 2003.
BTW, FYI, it was Microsoft who communicated that it was a change THEY made to Word that caused the incompatibility problem, so anyone connected to ST was blind sided until users began to complain of problems. J. can only do so much. Blame W&W who stands by their history of failing to recognize how their lack of support effects how we are able to perform our jobs, or even accept positions with companies using 2003 because we want to continue using ST!!
They were given our jobs. Quit blaming

Yep, liberals work really hard blaming others for their lack of ambition
It's all YOUR fault!
This is funny blaming it on Microsoft. SmartType only works in Word and they need to keep up with

No, it wasnt Toth.
Thanks! Have a good day!
no where did I say it wasnt work?
I only said you are not typing the lines that you should be paid BY THE HOUR and not by the line. That way, the more corrections you make the less you feel like "I'm not making any money today." Thus quality is going to be much better because the MT is not going to worry about going as fast as they can to make money and will take time out to make the corrections needed.
There should be a requirement of lines, but not PAID per line.
Sorry. I wasnt arguing with you. Im just generally
it just gets me p1ssed off, and then i start ranting!
wait..wasnt thread to send ESL's
Now you dont want work sent overseas?? I thought the thread was to send all the ESL's overseas?? I frankly dont want any work sent anywhere but for all of it to stay in America and I will do the difficult and good doctors, cause they pay my salary.
I honestly wasnt meaning to be implying your sil was gay.. I just

I agree. I would be long gone if I wasnt the age I am and am actually phasing out anyway.

That wasnt very helpful..she is confused by verb, noun, and adj. as far as how to tell
which is which. I think the "a" in front is more helpful.
Wasnt you worried that some weirdo might come back in while you werent there to monitor it? sm
It just worries me that after we get everything set up will some weirdo go in and look around, get info off of your accounts, or go look at icky stuff on the web using your computer? My husband says his tech guys at his work said there is no reason why a tech person cant "fix" your problem by walking you through it. They say there is never ever a reason to authorize someone you dont know access to your computer. I am so confused! Really want this job, but dont want to risk my computer being an open door either. 
Wasnt that a rip. They must have called every person on every account to work. I cant possibly
figure that mentality. PLUS we get nothing extra for weekends, nothing extra for holidays ZIP. They overload the accounts and so we have no work. Why would they pay weekends or holidays when they play this game. Somebody is pocketing something but it AINT THE MTs. I hope every MT in that office inundates Mt. Laurel with complaints until they replaced the people that did this and not to mention their STUPID STUPID PICKY MQ point plan. That is a horrendous joke. Somebody up there needs to be removed and quickly.
So you have also noticed the light and dark shades in text. I wasnt aware that it was like this when
I bought it. Is there anything to make this better at all. I just bought this whole computer system with LCD screen and I guess I will call them and see what can be done or just get used to it. I like it but not so much having the text look like that. Have you spoken to anyone about yours.
Wasnt' that post scary? Isn't it UNREAL?? Who cares if we type drugs wrong, right?
I could go on and on about the STUPID mistakes MTs make - perfect dictators - just stupid lazy mistakes - wrong drugs and meds entirely - happens all the time. Forget dosages. If doctors had to rely on this typed garbaged (used typed intentionally - transcribed doesn't fit), they'd kill most of us as patients. And some MTs have an attitude about it? So frightening. But lets' give 'em bonuses and incentives to GET IT RIGHT!
My post disappeared. I wasnt being disrespectful with the TV just tired and didnt proof before subm
Sorry if I offended anyone when I saw it I had a good laugh with everyone else but still thought there was good advice in the post but I guess not -- my apologies if I offended and will watch my ShortHand lol.
Thanks for your support!
I appreciate it! and you are not "just" an MT...it is a noble profession. I am an MT, too, just have many years of experience. I'm still proud to say that I am an MT
she needs support
you could have left the negativity OUT!!! must be you've never been in a bad situation, lucky you

Thanks for the support!
Thank you all for the support. My PCP's office called me back with the GYN appt. and I was talking to the nurse who works for him. She told me it showed ASCUS and to not worry too much about it.
Never having had anything abnormal come back before, I immediately began freaking out. It is nice to know you have the support of your online MT family to help calm your nerves. They must not be too worried about because I can't get in to the GYN for 3-1/2 weeks. I will try not to worry.
Thanks again!
He needs to support you more.
If this is going to make things better for you in your work area, then he should stand behind you 100%. I would just go get it. I just got one last week because my hands were hurting, and it has helped tremendously. I can't say I had to go through my husband though because when I said I thought I could use one, he said you should got get one. I understand sometimes income isn't always there and other things are more important and it's always nice to feel like your husband is behind you, so I would try talking to him again and trying to make him see things from your point of view. Hope you made any sense of out this! Thanks and good luck!

When I worked for a hand specialist he always recommended Comfort Cool splints for DeQuervain. I type in them every day and they are very comfortable. Good Luck!
Thank you so much for your support
It means a lot.

For many of us who are working alone all day this is a wonderful way to connect not only on a work level but on a social level. I see no harm in supporting and helping each other in a public forum such as this. It has often helped me tremendously both with work issues and for general discussions to help make my day better !
Thank you to everyone for your support!
You guys reminded me what a great support system we have in place here. I really appreciate all of your advice and support in the matter and after talking it over with my husband I am going to pursue legal action. I worked very hard to get my Bachelor's Degree in Business Management and medical transcription provided me the income to do it. I am currently enrolled in the Master's program and with the 10 years of MT experience and owning my own service for four years, I feel as though I was qualified for the position (he must have felt the same way to give me the job in the first place). However, I disagree with the "seasoned" poster below who thinks that only someone with 25 years of experience can manage a team of MTs. I believe that to be completely untrue and unfounded and I am sorry she/he has such a narrow minded attitude on the subject that she/he feels as though they should be so argumentative with every poster. Thanks guys for giving me a boost of encouragement on a really really bad day yesterday when all I wanted to do was hide under the covers. I wrote that post after getting up at 4 a.m. and driving almost 10 hours all day. Thanks for lift.
do you support yourself
and pay your own bills? That's motivation enough for me ! Take lots of breaks or take a few days off if you need to. If you really don't need the money, then it's easier to let yourself get distracted.
Thanks for the support
Thank you both for writing back. I have written the BBB, but as the parent company is in Canada, I also wrote theirs - along with the Attorney General internet fraud department (state and national), the Consumer Protection Agency, the FTC, the AAMT and their school accrediation director, and my mother. I'm just in shock that they had the nerve to wipe out my grades! But you're right - I also need to contact a lawyer so they can't do this to others. The sad thing is that I'm a nice, quiet person, else I wouldn't have waited six weeks to throw a fit. Anyway, thanks for responding - I need kind words and a nice glass of wine!!

Thanks for the support, all (sm)
You know what's funny, is that every time I post I end up getting one semi-uncalled-for response, and it's always from a person by the same name!
I had one lady email me saying that I "could be arrested" for writing a check knowing I didn't have money in the account. Ummm... No. That's why I have overdraft protection, like I said in my original post. I'm okay this morning, but I was a total sobbing mess last night and I think I made that pretty clear in my post. So someone emails me after I already said that I had overdraft protection and tells me that I could get arrested? And it's always the same person?
Geez, lady. Way to kick someone who is already down. (And I've never heard of anyone being arrested for using their overdraft protection!) There's at least one jerk on every message board, though, right?
But to the rest of you... THANK YOU! 
Thanks for the support. ... sm
I may not be "Norma Rae", but she had the right idea. If we could put together 10 MTs who were willing to be on the front line and form some type of "committee" to go to our congressmen and such, maybe we could start the ball rolling toward better working conditions and change things. It really does come down to this: Every day you have a choice. Choice A - do nothing. Choice B - do something to change what's wrong. I'd rather go out doing something than nothing. Maybe I'm going to have to be Norma Rae after all, but I'd sure like a few extras to be there with me.
You know, the Amber Alert System was started by a little girl's mom who wouldn't stop until she got it across the USA. When she couldn't take the murder of her child, she did something about it.
Any MTs who are interested, email me and we'll put our collective intelligence together and see what we can do to improve things. Somebody's got to care enough to do something. At this point, no one else is going to bat for us; we must help ourselves.
It does take support. (sm)
My husband used to try to deter me from doing what I am doing now, but he has seen my mood drop and my countenance become sort of bitter over the last couple of years and it really worried him. He said if it would make me happy, to do it. It took awhile, but he is all for it now--especially on the days when I actually bring in a couple of hundred dollars from what I am doing. It's harder on the days when I make about 25 cents.

Thank you all for your support!
 There have been so many e-mails and posts about my situation with my family and their lack of understanding that I do "work". Only those of you here truly understand. I don't know if there are words quite special enough to say here, but I feel so much better after having heard all the comments. A great big thanks to all of you. So glad you are all here! Hugs!!!!!!!!! I will survive!!! Loved the post referring to Sylvia Browne! Thank you for reminding me of her. I so love her books. I have almost all of them. When I read her work I always feel better. The post regarding what she would say -- so true. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Can't state that enough here.
Thanks, I appreciate the support
It seems there are several of us who feel this way about this. I knew I couldn't be the only one. As for the crabby posts and the hate mail I got this evening, I'm not concerned. There are always one or two in the bunch who are wound too tight. But WOW, you'd think I just shot their puppy or something, huh? What can you do. I'm just happy that it's their problem and not mine.
support - or not
Hey, I was sticking up for you - I said it FMLA can definitely be abused and everybody else pays for it - go back and read my post!
Thanks for the support
I can agree with you on that -they are young - we are not so young - and sometimes that is detrimental to the job search. Plus, after 15 years I have not kept up with office skills (I never thought I would work in an office again) and I really do not want to return to school, although I have thought about coding. However, my son wants me to go to work for one of the airlines so that he can fly for free - he is not really thinking about what is best for me, but what will be of benefit for him.
Thanks for the support!

PC support
Looking for a recommendation for a good/reliable/reputable on-line PC support company. I work from home on my own PC and it would be nice to have technical support w/o having to disconnect PC and take it somewhere. Would appreciate any suggestions (I hope I'm on the correct board; I'm new to this)
CHILD SUPPORT??
Can ANYONE give me some legitimate service who goes after "deadbeat dads"???? I'm at the end of my emotional rope, and my state (Oklahoma) has not helped much in nailing down this butthead ('cuse my French)....I've talked to a few "services" which IF they get anything from him, they will probably take 60-70% of it!!! Has anyone had any luck anywhere?? Why do these guys (and I'm sure there are gals out there too!) get away with not supporting their kids???
Sorry to vent ...I type for a living (like you) and beating this keyboard sometimes helps me feel better! Thanks for listening (reading ??)....
child support
Believe me, deadbeat moms are very prevalent, moreso than people think. I know from personal experience that these moms rather spend their money on themselves than send even the tiny amount they are required by law to send to their child, all the time professing how much they love their children.
Child Support
We have a newer prosecuter in one of our local county's who started a new program to go after deadbeat parents. 3 times a year, she post the pictures of the worst offenders on the front pages of the newpapers, along with how much they owe...usually has a pretty good rate of call in's to report seeing them. She's also working extremely hard to get the state to NOT renew drivers lisc. on any of those who are over 2,000 in arrears.
My sister finally got the attention of our prosecuter when her ex got close to 30 grand , the folks at CS just did not seem to have a working phone or at least one they answered, so they went after him, showed up in court, the magistrate took all of 10 minutes to look over the files...asked the idiot and the prosecuter if he had a working wage deduction in place (which he did on paper), and then said...Well he has the wage order in place, so case over
Now how the heck do you think he got to the 30 grand mark if the wage order was working........duh Good luck, been there before and glad mine has paid on time.

Re: tech support
I don't know if it gets back to our supervisors, but I wish it would get back to theirs! What I do now is tell the "real winner" support person that I have to hang up suddenly. Then, I call right back. I suddenly get a different one who is a whiz and very helpful. It's worth the hang-up and call back unless you have to wait 45 minutes for the next "helpful tech." ;-)

I guess I've been lucky when I've had to call them. I always speak to an "Americanized" accent. Believe me, if I get someone I can't understand, I complain and gripe until someone comes on that I CAN understand, after all, I'M the customer :-)
I support myself with just one company right now
Hi. Right now I'm able to make ends meet pretty well with just one company, but for the last year I have hopped through several - 3-4 at least - barely able to make ends meet. Keep moving, keep trying more companies until you find a good one. They are out there. Don't give up!
