I wouldn't worry about it, unless you work in a small town.

I can't see any big hospitals or doctor's offices going back to that.

$2.09 in small-town NE. Seems to have hit a standstill :(

I live in a very small town...
and it is so scary to think about all of this, even here. Just 30 minutes away from us this week they put several schools on lock down because there was a "fugitive" on the run. As the other poster said, it is such a scary time when we cannot even feel safe sending our kids to school. I thought living in a small town would be better, but the Amish community issue has quickly changed my mind of that.
Are they in a really small town in Georgia?
NM
Sounds like my small town!
Except we actually have 2 choices, cable internet and then Embarq. Embarq is the only choice we have for phone service.
I got fed up with the cable service and switched a few months ago to Embarq, it has not gone out one single time. I am extremely pleased I switched.
I'm not in CR, I'm in a small south central town. nm

Our small town Wal-Mart doesn't do that.
There is a person at the door in case the buzzer is activated but I have never been asked to show a receipt unless the buzzer has gone off.
Mine doesn't either, and they are not small town, any of them. nm

Depends where you live? Small town big city? sm
Hospital billing? Clinic billing?
I live in a small Southern town and they have posted pictures of sm
people convicted of passing bad checks in the newspaper. How humiliating would that be?
By posting the bad checks, they see your name, but by posting your picture, they could recognize who you are.
Depends on how busy it is, but our small town Wal-mart has asked me on occasion, even when the
buzzer has not went off.
I wouldn't worry!
I was the same way in HS!! I am sure that she will grow out of it..it will just take time!
I wouldn't worry.
The boy and his family were on the local news here in WA. So SNL could have picked the story up anywhere.
I wouldn't worry about it sm
Just do what you think is right for you and don't worry about having to tell them no or sending back the computer.
How nice of your husband to be concerned for you. :-)
It really is a hard decision, especially when you're changing shifts and starting a new job. When I switched to 3rd shift, I had already been with the same company for a while, so it wasn't a double-whammy adjustment.
Anyhow, good luck with whatever you do :-)
I wouldn't worry about that ..sm
We'll be getting the ESLs to take their place.
I wouldn't use lower case. I'd use upper case. Don't worry about it. nm

not to worry, haha, we are not at work (smile!) nm

The company I work for said cable phone wouldn't work, just FYI.
nm
No (IC)....but I work for a small MTSO and have set deadline each day for my work
I will not be working on Thanksgiving day, though I will have 120 minutes waiting to be done and turned in by 8:00 a.m. on Monday morning.
I wouldn't work for less. What's the deal with this woman and where does she work?

My point is, work a NORMAL EIGHT HOUR SHIFT..dont worry
It takes away from the quality and the turnaround time... 
Don't worry about it. In 5-6 years you'll have plenty to worry about!
A 10-year-old is never in a situation where anything can "happen," and they don't understand anything "happening" anyway. At this age they're only capable of "having a boyfriend" because that's what they see on TV - that's what the world "expects of us", to pair up and "like each other."
Her friends aren't talking about adult "things" to do in a "relationship" yet, and she doesn't even have those feelings, hormones, or needs yet so don't worry about it.
At 10, having a "boyfriend" is the equivalent to playing "dress up" or "make believe" and is just "sitting together in the cafeteria" at best.
Plus they move on to a new "boyfriend" in a week, a few weeks tops.
Relax, Mom. The part to worry about is yet to come and I wouldn't want to deal with that again for anything!
Best of luck and enjoy these years while you can.
Then you would have no life at all except work, work, work if you did that. I wouldn't do it. nm

I work for a small
company and make 10 cpl straight typing, 1 account. I have worked for large MTSOs and made much less and had multiple accounts.
yes and I wouldn't work any other way
have to have the flexibility to move around. Haven't had any of the aches and pains in my arms and hands since switching from desk-top to laptop. Plus, it allows me to travel a lot and still keep up with my work. Luv it.
No, but wouldn’t want to work there
Did before and really not good place- I left with loads of others, much happier!
No, I work for a small company in AR
Do you work for a national and, if so, do you like it?
That wouldn't work. When I'm in a groove I
can make $30/hour, on a bad day $20/hour. No one is going to pay an MT $20/hour. The MTs have less and less power because the companies can always turn to India. A company doesn't know from day to day what the work load will be like, unless they are doing overflow for an account and only take a certain number of minutes a day. Most of the time you can guestimate, but then when delinquent letters come out you'll get at least another 100 hours of dictation.
I totally sympathize with the MT who is struggling to pay their bills and who want to work but can't get the lines. It isn't fair, but it is what it is. I honestly don't see it getting any better unless work is brought back to the U.S. and then once again the American MT is in high demand. I've seen many MTs say they work for 2 or even 3 companies so they can get needed lines.
If you wouldn't have it except for work then I say write it off...nm

BUT YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY THEIR "BUSY" WORK?.... SM
Awww... they have to justify their paycheck too, you know, or else MTSO will think they don't have enough to do. Remember, they get paid to nitpick. Makes the suits and power-that-be think they're actually earning their oats.
I wouldn't want to work for anyone who posts

Don't work for a national. Find a small
MTSO that pays well. They are out there, as long as you hold up your end of the bargin. I left my hospital job to work for a national, several nationals now but who is counting. I found a small company and finally am making the $$$.
Good luck to you.
I work for a small local company.
It seems that the smaller MTSOs pay better than the nationals. Maybe that would be a good avenue for you to try. I just think the low rates offered by the nationals are insulting.
I used to work for a small MTSO that used gotomypc - sm
I would connect up to her computer and download the voice files to my computer. Then disconnect/log off. Then I would play the voice files on my player (Bytescribe) and go to work. When I was done, then I would just email the work to her. But if email was down for some reason I would just connect back to her computer with the gotomypc and upload the finished work to her that way. Your computer would probably run faster if don't stay connected via the gotomypc. I suppose you can do that of course, just doesn't seem much point to it though to me, unless you only get one voice file every now and then, so you just stay connected to see them come in on the remote computer.
I'm glad I work for a small MTSO....
I hope my boss never sells out like my last one did. My old company went down the tubes after that and I see lots and lots of posts about it here talking about how bad it is. These nationals sound awful.
Just wait. I work for small MTSO and they have

Yes - I work for a small company in Iowa and
nm
They told me speedtype wouldn't work either
but it does - you just have to have it open while you are working - it does not integrate into DQS - just sits there and lets you stuff it with expansions..;)
Great idea except you wouldn't get any work done!--nm

You're right! I wouldn't work for a company that SM
expected me to surf all over the world just because some prima donna didn't want to be bothered with proper dictation.
I wouldn't work as an MT for a lousy $7.50 an hour OR
.
I wouldn't suggest wearing them while you work.
Magnets and computers don't go well together.
I would say NO otherwise our work wouldn't be in a 3rd world country.
nm
Thanks, b/c 5 files at a time wouldn't work for me. nm
nm
I work for a small MTSO about 25-30 hours a week
nm
I only have dial-up, I work for a small local MTSO -sm
that uses a FTP site to send us our work, so dial-up is just fine for that (work is about a 20 hour TAT, so it does not matter how long it takes for me to download my work, and uploads are quick. So obviously a job that has no set hours, etc. is ideal for someone with dial-up. Also get your own accounts, then it doesn't matter does it as you are the boss. I have 1 account of my own and we transfer the files via the internet through an intermediary website (in place of a FTP). Just keep hunting there are dial-up jobs out there.
How do you do 2000 a day? Do you work for a national or small company? nm

Ugh, another reason I'm glad I work for a small service...
in QA. ;) I actually change it on the sly without trying to explain it to the MT. No markoffs for it.
I used to be able to explain it to people "face to face," the way the veteran MT explained it to me, but I threw up my hands at doing it in writing.
Yet another reason I wouldn't do well at a national; I don't take "wrong corrections" very well at all, and have never had to work a verbatim account (shudder).
We are outdoor people so my suggestions wouldn't work
for you, although we have a motorhome so our camping isn't really roughing it.
We did not take an extendend train trip, but did take an 20+ hour trip on a train. We did not have a sleeper car as it was just as cheap to fly as it was for the sleeper car and we were trying to save $$. Anyway the train had mice and a sewage problem and every time the train hit a rough spot that made it jerk the sewage smell would go through the whole train and gag you. There were people in sleeper compartments that their bathrooms didn't work. Our train originated in NY and was going to FL and we got on midway and all the better seats were taken. The train also seemed to stop at every crossroads for someone to get on/off so sleeping was not easy.
I'm a long-time Monrovian. Wouldn't work anywhere else. nm

The plug is for the monitor, pedal wouldn't work there. NM
