In 12 years of MT'ing I've never re-read an entire chart. Edit/read as I type. nm

Yes, I read your post, and I just re-read it, and I've copied and pasted for you in case
you've forgotten your own words! Your post above is 100% different "flavor" to it, now all positive and cheery! Your first post was 100% doom and gloom every which way, including "raining on your parade", and "if you want to go forward"...God, sounds like she's talking about jumping into oncoming traffic! Here is your quote:
My first boss (the one who hired me as a new grad) gave me some words of wisdom that I haven't forgotten. She said that transcribing at home with small children NEVER works under any circumstance. Either the work will suffer or the parenting will suffer.
****
How can the word "NEVER" in caps be interpreted in any positive way? You took about 8 paragraphs to cover every aspect and completely dash this poor woman's dream. I'm not blind, I'm not talking about day care at all, I'm talking about the total negativity of your original post! You know exactly what I'm talking about, cause you added some sugar to your second version! And that's much nicer than the first!
Oh I've read that site and continue to read it...sm
I agree...much motivation there. I have tried to quit numerous times in the past and did successfully quit when I was pregnant for the first time many years ago but I have never managed to summon up the strength or resolve to stay quit. Thus the "need" for a financial investment in my efforts. It somehow makes it more motivational to know that I have $$$ invested in this effort over and above the $$$ saved on cigarettes.
Not only do I edit everything I read........sm
My husband says I "type" in my sleep !! Jeezz.... like 8 hours a day isn't bad enough! 
Hazard of the job to edit EVERYTHING we read.

Me, too. Can read faster than I can type.

I was going to say to trust yourself and not re-read everything you type, but within the time
it took me to read your post and then go check my mail, I received my monthly QA report and had two errors where I didn't pay attention and put "female" instead of "male". Talk about feeling like a complete airhead! Just goes to show you that you're going to make dumb mistakes no matter how long you've been at this or how much you trust yourself.
So I've read...
I came here hoping to find there were some fair companies out there, but that doesn't seem to be the case, so far as I can tell anyway.
Good luck to you and all MQ MTs. You've definitely been done extremely dirty by MQ from what I've read.
Too bad we can't all jump ship and leave 'em high and dry!
from what I've read
You'll lose money.
From what I've read...
Shorthand is compatible with Extext. I've read of many people using the 2 together on this forum and others.
He already is...From what I've read, he's been doing open act for

I've read different combinations, but
I googled it and got anywhere from 3-8 uncoated aspirin in a few drops of water. Like I said, some have suggested using other things to make a paste, like honey, but I found that using water works best for me. Try dabbing it on with a cotton ball all over or just in problem areas. Leave on until it's dried 10-20 minutes, it seems. Then rinse off, carefully. Good luck. Let me know! TK
my typo - should've read.....sm
kids, not kinds - putting all kids in public schools - (but not in today's world)
I've read there how they are posting here, that's all.
they speak openly of spam, etc. We see through it and there you are.
I'm like this all of the time! And now that I've read this
and became aware of my chair position, I have to adjust again! I think it's just one of those little MT quirks we all have.
I read it is 1 foot every 30 years...
At the rate you mention, that would be nearly 3 times as fast. Big difference.
I read years ago that if one wakes up....sm
I read years ago that if one wakes up with headaches it is because they are not breathing in enough oxygen during sleep. Also, there is a new stick out over-the-counter called HEAD-ON and comes in 4 different things, one to ward off headaches before they come. It looks like a glue stick. I sent some to my friend in Canada for her son to ward off headaches and it seems to be working. Hope you feel better soon and that it's not something in your house or apartment causing the headaches (mold and mildew will cause headaches and/or breathing problems for example).
MICHELLE!! GET BACK DOWN HERE! OH NO! YOU'VE READ THEM!
Its too late, but come back down here and laugh. Don't read the ugly posts! They're not there - they are not really there - they don't exist, nor does the ugly poster!! 
You have got to be the lamest woman I've seen and/or read about on here! NM

What do you mean by autodialing? I've read this but don't get why they'd have a problem wi
nm
Apparently you have not read any boards in the last 20 years, sm
or you would know the answer to your question already. 
Who had time to read?LOL I only get a chance to read This Old House once in a while. (nm)

oops should've have read "older children"...n/m
Best post I've read in a long time.
I tend to go back and forth with my feelings about this profession. In the mornings I am glad I do not have to get up, get ready and go to an office. Many times in the evening, after I have during the day and still have work to do, I feel like stuffing it all. Many times I am disheartened when I get my paycheck, but I am glad to be getting one, while my sister worries about getting laid off from her manufacturing job. MT has advantages and disadvantages.
dang, that is the wordiest article I've ever read. nm

After years of typing, you can no longer read your own handwriting. nm

I've read the statement; think sheri sat on this and lost it for both of them out of spite
matches her personality.
Oh, my. That's the funniest thing I've read in a long time.
AHDI: Solving the world's problems, one foreign MT at a time.
ROLFMAO
I didn't read the other posts but just read this
My daughter got pregnant at 17, said she wanted an abortion but BF didn't. I have a wonderful 2-1/2 yo grand daughter that I don't think I could live without...and now, guess what? I don't. I have custody of her. She was dropped off on my door, I got court ordered temporary custody and final custody hearing in a month.
I'm single with no family support. I had just taken a new MT job one month before this happened and they have been wonderful during my adjusting to being a mom again and I hope I can resume a normal schedule by next week.
I'm passing no moral judgments or giving moral advice. The situation is what it is. My prayers are with everyone involved.
Definitely an eye-opening read. Having my teens read it, too. nm

In all my years (20+) of MT'ing
I have never had a job that followed BOS. I have a copy of BOS 2, and I think I have opened it once or twice just to peruse it on my own but not for the account on which I work.
That being said, it would be much simpler for we MTs if every facility followed it. I've had some truly bizarre account specifics where following the BOS guidelines would have been much simpler, lol!
You have been doing for an entire 3 years and
never made $31,000? OMG, I am so surprised (NOT). Those days when the salaries were really good (except for 1 here and there) are mostly over. Unless willing to work about 24/7, weekends, overtime, etc., etc. you do good now to just eek out a living and many on here complaining about not even doing that.
I've never been fired by anyone in my entire life.
I hate MQ and I'm happy to tell everyone why. However, every MT is different and every MTSO is different. What works for me may not work for someone else. I found my fit elsewhere.
You've missed the entire point!
Duh! It's the docs who don't want to pay my dear. You're really expecting to get blood out of a turnip, aren't you? Quit blaming the MTSOs and look at the entity who's calling the shots - The doctors/clinics who hire the MTSO.
I've used both. Prefer Shorthand for being able to hold entire reports in an abbrvn. nm

Yes she did. Read over and over.
Go have dinner and read again. What's your battle or issue with poster. It's an OPINION!
Read a few more
of the posts from ALS. I think that this is the poster who is trying to be "smart" in the way that you are referring to in your post.
I can read 2
She never did provide a reference for crepitants. This is because she cannot. It is not a word.
Please read - sm
If you are the transcription supervisor I would strongly advise you to please review the reports carefully - do this around the end of the first month or second month. The reason I say this is because for the first few weeks an outsourcing company will QA just about every report so that it looks great, gains the confidence of the client, etc. I have worked with many, many hospitals as a consultant and notice this to be the pattern.
After you have found the multiple mistakes, bring these up to the administration and ask to have a deduction from the bill.
I have had to point out to a few hospitals that use the overseas transcription that they are putting the doctors at malpractice risk. One hospital even ended up paying the outsource company $262 for the month because they had so many mistakes in the transcription and each line that had an error was deducted from their original bill. You can bet that company did a turnaround the following month with nearly no errors. I'm not afraid to tell you the company - CBay.
You need to read up on how (sm)
perverts select their victims. They don't just assault randomly unless they are planning to kill you afterward. They specifically target those who they think will not stand up for themselves or children who have nobody to stand up for them! Your pappy there has had permission from both his wives to assault others under their roof and he is going to get worse if you don't stop him now. He's not senile, he's not demented, he is a disgusting pervert who has been molesting children his entire life! No "mother" would allow this sort of thing to happen to their child, and it doesn't matter if you are 5 or 55! Do you REALLY believe that his own children were not molested? The only reason his daughter didn't admit it to you is because she'd have to tell you the gory details and didn't want to have to go there, much like you don't want to tell your family something he SAID to you. I guess if you're that worried about what your "mother" will think, then go ahead and get felt up for the rest of your life, but I sure hope you have the good sense to NEVER take your children over there!
You only read what you want to..
I don't advocate welfare for life no questions asked, but geez, louise,this is America, the richest country in the world and we have children who go to bed hungry!!!!
You need to re-read
Listen up! What part of re-read the darn posts didn't YOU understand?
People have been complaining on her for weeks about "oh I hate having so many accounts..." or "I have too many accounts and can't remember each profile" or "I already have 6 accounts and I don't want anymore"
Take off your bifocals, clean the slober off your monitor, and scoot your big old butt close to the screen and re-read the posts from several days ago!
Read this
Her uncle ron is your husband - get a grip on life!
from what I read
it is fine to wear black. I checked it out on the net. During my wedding, there were a couple of women wearing black. I also attended a wedding where the bridesmaids were wearing black.
You might want to read the (sm)
article/link that someone just posted on the main board.
Good luck, whatever you do! 
HELP! Where did I read this? (sm)
JAAMT or Plexus or other???  It was an article about AAMT's position in dropping the possesive form of an eponym and how other organizations were following suit (like AMA). In other words, not to type Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease, but Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease. I meant to copy this to have it readily available (doctors don't seem to have read this explanation yet). Thanks!
See, the way I read that was...SM
The poster was saying "Hey, better to have an occasional drink than to wind up on antidepressants" - which, even when taken EXACTLY as prescribed, can really mess some people up.
I have never taken a job from there, but I just want to read it to keep -
ahead of what is out there and who is looking for what as far as jobs. What I did notice though, and I absolutely love that they did this, is that you cannot see what anyone else has bid. you used to see what everyone was bidding and it got to a point where people were putting down that they would do it for free just for the job and experience!! C'mon. How fair is that.
I agree with you on paying - I don't want to pay Guru a part of my check, that I am already under bidding on, just because the job was posted there.

It means intake and output and you don't put an apostrophe because that makes it possessive. You also don't use one for words like TMs and so on.
Not just re-read but...
That's called re-casting the sentence and would not be permitted with TRUE verbatim transcription. My dream is to one day type EVERYTHING just as they say it, including "BEEEEEEEELCH", or 'Hi Joe, how's the golf came?" etc.
Do they like to read?
.
Please read
That may be true, but again, please don't let a bad reputation of one company put you in a negative mindset of the entire Network Marketing Industry. It's the same with medical transcription. If you look at these boards, you'll find that there are some companies with very bad reputations, and yet there are some very good ones out there.
