we can still be competitive. Why would medical professionals take the chance of offshoring their patient's medical records if it can be done right here in the US?  Competition. That's what our goal needs to be.

What shocks and amazes me is how so many American workers are so willing to just lay down and get screwed instead of adapt by being competitive.  Adapting doesn't mean you have to accept offshoring at all. 

For those of you who see my point, kudos to you.  For those of you who don't, grow a brain.

If you can try to work an hour or so earlier or later to get in some lines when her son is sleeping.  I find that if my children/DH are awake I want to be with them, even if just watching TV, so I'm more productive when they are sleeping.  If you think this new account situation is just a temporary thing and in a month or so you won't have to work so much then just have a talk with son and explain the situation and make an effort to spend some quality time with him.   Starting with any new account is takes a while to get productive, but if this new account is too difficult, ask to try another account or change companies.  

I gave way too much to my job and not enough to my family, even though I had to work, I wished I could do it all differently.  My son has seen pictures and home videos of me hold him in my lap and reading to him and he can't believe I used to do that.  I allowed my work to take priority.  I can't go back and undue the past, but I've learned from my mistakes and working hard to correct things now. 

to usually fit the threads here.....but email me anytime - just click on the email thingy when you post to me :)  I DO email *lol*

Yeah, eTime does keep me more together and putting in more hours....*grins*  I only work for them PT.

Thanks for what you said about my post - if I was going to call someone that, I would've spelled DUMB and I would've not called them DUMB but voiced an opinion that I thought they were DUMB.  I was merely being dramatic, like you said.....and starting with a dum-de-dum-dum-DA or DUM, I forget how I ended that......

I now think that poster didn't know what eTime was nor worked for our national but who knows?  I'm certainly not sure.  *l*

Email me - and we'll do email :)  Perhaps we even live in the same state....*giggles*

Be well, sugar!!  :)

In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first.  It may not be any better.  If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential.  They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.

Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me.  We just had to wait it out.  It's a downside of working at home.

I just started what I hoped was my final MT job, but now it looks like it's time to start looking again.  I have over 35 years' experience and this outfit has had me on QA for a month now. 

They're nitpicky over hyphens.  You use a hyphen here, but not here.  Hello?  These doctors can barely make a coherent sentence.  They don't have a clue whether near-syncope has a hyphen or not...FYI, per the BOS bible, it does, but not according to the outfit I'm working for...nor does the MD care.  He just wants his report back in a readable format. 

And there is no such word as cary or carie when you're referring to teeth...it's caries, period.  I did win that battle. 

I worked for a short time for another outfit at minimal pay (marking time until better thing came along) that was nitpicky over semicolons. 

As my DH's boss once told him when he was worrying about the small stuff, "Don't worry about the mules, just load the wagons."

So if there's an MTSO out there who's looking for a fast, accurate, punctuationally-challenged (apparently) MT who loves ER/psych, feel free to contact me. 

I could kick myself -the company I am working for keeps saying it will pick up and I keep staying, meanwhile I have put on hold a job I should have taken-MDI in Maryland. I have learned my lesson! I am finally ready to move on-anyone looking for an IC who can do 1300 lines a day?

Students will come out of the top 3 schools ready to work, but will have to work for lower line rates as apprentices.  So who do you think the MTSOs will hire? 

We won't hire newbies that's for sure. There's way too much training that you have to do with a brand new MT, lower line rate or not. That's the least of our worries as MT's.

Is anyone willing to strike when an agreement is not met (higher wages, etc)?  I doubt it.  Most are living paycheck to paycheck as it is.

I hate to be a pessimist, and this will be my last post on this subject, but sad to say most of us can't even get along on this board, do you really think we could come together to form a union? 

There was another post about someone trying and no one showing up.  I guess they had to stay home and type...  Good luck though...  I truly mean that..
