If that is your typical attitude, well...I think we all understand now.

Yep, sour grapes is right. Typical attitude of people who are angry with life.

I don't understand this attitude. At other
jobs to people just get to pick over what they want to do and not do the rest?? NO! Our job is to transcribe the doctor's dictation, be it bad or good. You will never learn anything if you just take the simple things. I for one, enjoy my job and like the challenge some dictators provide.
Not at all typical!

Typical....
Your bad behavior has to be tolerated and the heck with everybody else. Another example of bad manners.
That's typical VR
I promise this was an actual sentence. The doctor dictated, "This is Dr. Wilson Period." Of course, we know that should be plugged into the demographics screen.
What VR transcribed was, "This is Dr. Wilson Perianal."
LOL. Yeah, one day it will be perfect. That's funny!!!
I don't have a typical day, one day I can do 2500
lines in about 12 hours and another day I'm lucky to get 1000 in 8 hours. I have an expander, have a few templates but don't get those dictators on a regular basis. I do NOT have to enter any demographic information or look up addresses, etc. I work in batches, don't have to save each report separately. I have enough experience that I rarely have to work up anything, but also will spend 30 minutes searching for something rather than leave a blank.
I get up frequently. I try to apply myself for at least a good hour or more and then take a short break. My feet swell really bad and I'm getting butt spread so I try to get up and move around. I never thought I was a particularly fast typist, but did the time clock thing and found that I was averaging 270+ lines/hour. Some days I work 6 hours/day, some days 8 to 10. I may have a superduper day where I make 3000 lines/day, but the next day I only do 1000, because I just can't routinely do 3000 lines/day and have a life.
The thing that has helped me most is limiting my time on-line and having my e-mail so that I can't see/hear when a new one comes up so I don't stop typing and check e-mail.
I routinely do 85+% ESL, but maybe once a month get a day where I have lots of normals and that spoils you.
But this is not your typical dictation
I usually do 30 minutes in 45 minutes to an hour also but this is something completely different and it almost gets to the point you pull your hair out when you cannot hear what they are saying during this meeting or several talk at once, etc. So you cannot use this rule of thumb -- believe me I have been there many times.
Again I would guess between 8 to 12 hours and feel good if you get it done in 8.
Typical media; what do they know.

Yep, but that's typical for a national.

QA typical per line pay
I am thinking about changing over to QA but am wondering what the pay per line normally starts out at. Can anyone give me some help.
Sounds like a typical guy..)) n/m

I do not think that 8 hour a day supervisor is typical at all.

Typical welfare mentality, just sit with
your hand out and do nothing to help yourself. Let the taxpayers take care of you. Never take any responsibility for your own welfare or the welfare of your family, just collect the welfare bounty that everyone else pays taxes to provide. Why shouldn't people be prepared?
Typical care about no one else mentality
Typical me..me..me, dont care about the rest of the people, lock me and my family await in a gated community and who cares about anyone else mentality. God help you if you are ever the victim of a disaster and did not have the time or money to buy supplies. I sure hope every one around you has your attitude and you feel the pain of hunger and thirst..Hello, America, where are you?
Dottie, maybe you could take a typical page of
how much you're currently making per page on cpl basis. If it's more than $2.50, you'll lose money working for the insurance company.
A $300+ bill is typical for us in Arizona. sm
We use the payment plan so our bill is the same every month. They average all 12 months and come up with a month payment. Our winter bills usually would be as low as $70 if we weren't on the payment plan.
Can't live here without AC - no way, no how.
What are the typical hours for 1st, 2nd, 3rd shifts ... sm
or are they different with every company? What is the difference in pay for 2nd and 3rd shifts? TIA
Not typical, but does happen. Move on to

What is a typical rate for QA per line?
?
Interesting and typical. Accept responsibility for nothing
He's a loser
You are a hypocrit. You attack me for my position and then say you have a right to yours. Typical.
I did not attack anyone, just stated an opinion. You have been up and down this thread attacking every single person for posting something you don't like. Talk about pot-kettle-black. LOL!!! Well, my last post to you. You are seriously cyberderanged. 
No, it is not typical. Please search for a company that respects you more than that. nm

Hahah..typical male answer to me..
I had a doc dictate once that his patient was annoyed because when he had gone to the pharmacy to pick up his RX (which he didn't know was going to be called in) it was for Flagyl and not some free Vicodin, and that he wasn't going to take the Flagyl because he wasn't supposed to drink beer with it.
Typical liberal, start with the name-calling when you have nothing else
So typical, "Don't do as I do, do as I say".
Failure, uneducated, jealous, resentful, TYPICAL.
What's typical for your email addr. w/nationals? sm
Help! need info. Would like responses from multiple people please.
Just started a new job last week. Everyone I get mail from, supervisors, tech, mgmt, etc. have a So&so@OurCompany.com type email. (I'm not saying what company), but they are having me use my personal email.
Can't help wondering if I have been singled out for some reason. I feel totally excluded.
Also, even email that is obviously addressed to a large group has only my name/email in the To: box. This seems very strange. Why would it be top secret what group/s it is to, i.e., "All MT's, Hospital XYZ group, etc.
It seems as if I'm only getting email as a blind copy from everyone. How can I figure out whether all the other MTs have So&so@OurCompany.com addresses assigned & some higher up just hates me for some reason, or whether all MTs do not get a company-assigned email address?  
That's a typical hourly rate for remote
I personally wouldn't drive that far for it.
As long as it's typical stuff, you can't go wrong. nm

what is a typical QA hourly wage for experienced QA
wondering what a median QA hourly wage for an experienced QA
That was so typical of all AHDI's double-talk.
Especially that first one by Pati H. The first couple sentences hardly made sense. And her answer certainly did dance around the point of the question, didn't it?
That just shows ta go ya.... if you want REAL answers about the MT field, the LAST people anyone wants to be asking is AHDI. Someone should let 'Advance' in on that little secret.
Typical bleeding heart everybody is a victim mentality, except of course...
those who are smart enough to not get pregnant at 14, finish school, work hard, and pay for and provide for themselves. Then they are villified by YOU for not wanting to just give it all away to those who have NOT made good choices for themselves in this infinite land of opportunity that we live in, the same country where people around the world are knocking on the doors to get into, and HAVE come here and taken advantage of the opportunity here. Opportunity doesn't mean it's handed to you. Sick, young, old, down on luck, or having a rough spell is one thing, but a lifetime of mooching is something else. There IS a difference. But that shades of gray world you live in doesn't allow you to see with any clarity.
Is it typical to perform gastric bypass surgery if

Typical hateful liberal. Taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune.
You're a real piece of work.
This IS the typical trash situation that exists now for us at-home MTs. I'm thinking of leaving,

LOL LOL LOL? What do you know about my attitude? LOL
I know you are management and you know what? You can't put out this fire. Attitude? Why I'll just tell my mortgage company that my attitude was bad, I got a bad QA report because I couldn't interpret ESL dictator and could I please not have them foreclose on my house. Attitude indeed. Check own queenly gotta be right I'm better than you lowly MT attitude yourself.
you can keep your attitude to yourself
The information I got was in the email, not on actual paperwork. If you don't want to answer, then go but somebody else. I understand the concept of work more, get more, DUH yourself.
Attitude
I am truly sorry if I offended. The question itself sounded kinda "duh" to me. Again, I apologize. I've been 46 hours with no sleep and okay, so my brain is not on it's best functional mode.
I am utterly at a loss for words now as I honestly meant no offense.
wow, what an attitude he has!
Well, I am sure glad that I do not work for THAT company! Seems this outsourcing thing is getting WAY out of hand. He moans about not having enough MTs in this country - I think that they just need to get the pay per line rate up some (pay us what WE are actually worth for once, and quit sending it ALL overseas so that these companies can "SAVE MONEY??"). I would like HIM to live on what WE have to live on!!
i like your attitude
excellent point
Someone with her attitude needs to
go elsewhere. With her around, I was almost dreading coming on the board sometimes. She is always looking to start an argument or putting somebody down. I, for one, am glad to see her go, and only pray she stays gone. What a drag!!!
Attitude is everything.
My impression of your post is that management never gets it right; only you do. I wonder if they could ever do anything right in your eyes.
It's too bad that there are so many people out there with the attitude that the company is "out to get them". There are a lot of good companies and people running them out there--just as there are good MTs.
If I work with someone like you, I'm sure I already avoid you because I don't want to be around such a negative attitude; if you work at home, I'd like to say "thanks for staying home".
With your attitude you should do the same
Since the only thing you can come away with from this discussion is "give up and do something else"!
Certainly, with that attitude...
You will have a difficult time achieving anything positive in life, connections or not.
Are you serious? The only attitude so far has been yours! nm
x
just me and my attitude?
apparently not.
Maybe it's your attitude to begin with.
Change your tune. Be sugary sweet when you think someone is being rude to you and see what happens. Pay it forward. Give someone a smile or a kind word. Let someone in line in front of you. Just do one little nice thing per day and it will multiply. People are never rude to me. Everywhere I go, they know me by name because I take the time to be kind to them. Gas station, grocery store, bank, school, doctor's office. You might have to fake it 'til you make it, but you can change your outlook and how you perceive the world treats you. If someone is "rude" to you, blow it off. Maybe they're having a bad day and it's nothing personal.
Their attitude usually starts it!...sm
I've dealt with some really helpful techs, but mostly alot of real winners (not):
One experience I had at MQ (no longer work for them), but I told the tech that the modem they just sent to me was fried. He told me that was impossible; they check everything before shipping. He made me do this and that for about an hour! When none of that worked, he said, "you don't know anything about transcription equipment do you?". I told him I knew enough to know when a modem is fried, and probably said something else! He told the supervisors that I was rude and whatever else he wanted. The next day the supervisor called and alluded that we had a "personal problem"! UGH!
After two supervisors had me do this and that with the modem and computer, they decided the modem was unusable and would ship me a new one (24 hours later with me losing work time while paying them to rent the equipment, not to mention getting stressed and frustrated wasting time with the tech with an attitude).
Your being frustrated and sarcastic is perfectly understandable! But, yeah, they "tell" your supervisor!
There was no "I'm better..." attitude in my post.
Your perception of me is that way because you don't like my point of view, my success, my refusal to be a part of the pity party like everyone else.
I gave the OP a good piece of advice. Save her money and work on healing the heartache of this situation. I stated in my post that it is a heartache and her frustrations are completely right on.
Too bad if you don't like my advice. I'm not cat fighting with anyone. Sounds like you have PMS!
Take some Midol, will you!
nice attitude
xx
And it is exactly this kind of attitude....sm
that will continue to keep MTs classified as clerical help. Until we start taking some accountability for our own professionalism, nobody else will sure recognize it!
18-year-old with attitude
Our son is a sophomore in college now. He works during the summers for clothes, books, etc, but we pay his monthly tuition. He is almost 20 and just now got his license, no car or truck, cannot afford to insure that right now. Last year we paid 700.00 a month for tuition, this year 1300.00 a month for tuition, but he is a good kid, has ADHD and studies hard. Tuition is a lot to pay for every month, but if he can get a good education, works hard, etc I am willing to pay for it. He is home now for winter break, helps me around the house with everything and is a good kid. We never thought he would go to college because he struggled so in his vocational school in high school, but his last year of high school he studied and turned his life around, got help with his ADHD and now seems to be on the right track. I opted not to take out a lot of loans for him because I do not want that burden on us or him in the future. Do what you think is right for your son. Of course their attitude is everything. We don't mind helping our son out because he has a "good attitude" and wants a college education so he does not have to work as hard and as many hours as his mom and dad do, as we both have 2 jobs each.
lol Who are you to say her attitude is out of line?
lol
