Isn't it an "at will" relationship, meaning that no cause is needed at all?

How about "At this juncture..." For some
nm
Maybe you need to reconsider this relationship.
What you have described has many elements of an abusive relationship. He blames you for everything. He becomes angry at you for no reason. He withdraws from you. He accuses you of lying. You're walking around on eggshells trying to cater to his "moods". He never takes any responsibility for problems. This cannot be a rewarding relationship for you. You are obviously a very loyal and caring person. You deserve to be treated better. You deserve a relationship with someone who will return your affection and will treat you with respect. You might at least want to consider getting out of this relationship for awhile, until your current boyfriend takes some initiative himself to get help. I don't think anything you say or do will have an effect; he will need to determine for himself that he needs to change. Otherwise, he'll just keep blaming you. Please take care of yourself.
this is my kind of relationship too
 Just being comfortable and enjoying each other. Its so hard to find that, people want you to be a certain way and it creates so much stress. Just allow each other to "be", no criticizing allowed! I see married couples just picking at one another, its sad. I'm definitely a hard person to match up because of how laid back I am. You mentioned being lazy, well I probably have you beat, i'm like a lion, i'm thrilled to take a nap. I'm really very easy to please, if my guy found a blade of grass outside my door and attempted to tie it in the shape of a rose to hand to me, I would break out in tears of happiness. Its just so easy, wish people would understand that. Just cuddle and do the little things and be joyful. Happy Valentines day.
Yes, if you have a good relationship, obviously - sm
if you have been estranged for years, or they abused you, etc. then NO. I am not looking forward to possibly taking in one of my in-laws in the future (my dad has a younger wife, so he has her to take care of him). I get along with them but I don't want to live with them though, they each drive me nuts in different ways. My goal would be to get them a small house or apt. in the area and do it that way though. Condo's are coming near us soon, hard to believe in the rural area we are in but the sprawl is coming, so that would be my wish (5 miles away). However lots of down sides to doing this, and perceived as being selfish I am sure, it will totally disrupt your life, you may become a taxi driver if they cannot or are unwilling to drive (my MIL won't drive more than 5 miles to get somewhere)(they are strict catholics, nearest catholic church is 45+ minutes away), become nurse/cook, etc. So if we ever do do it, we will have to think long and hard, and not erroneously open up our mouths before we think of what it really means. Responsibility is the word, though had it been my mom I wouldn't have felt that way. Obviously you don't want to do it if you are going to be resentful, that is the problem I will probably have to overcome at some point.
Definite relationship here...
Note that as transcription has moved further and further from the hospital (to outside hospital employee, then to US transcription vendor, then to offshore, and finally to the ultimate form of distance - machine-generated transcription) the hourly compensation and benefits have deteriorated steadily.
As the MT is pushed further and further from the source, she becomes more and more of an faceless and, consequently, powerless entity. Welcome to Never-Never Land!
yes, have a very good relationship
with my supervisor. Like I said, neither the MTSO or our MAJOR client have converted to it yet, so maybe we won't.
Absolutely. Our relationship is first priority. sm
Otherwise our marriage would have failed years ago as so many do. Sure we both have different interests and different ways of thinking, but we respect each others space in that regard and we teach this to our children as well.
We were both married before to the types that needed to make themselves and their controlling families top priority and neither of us could ever figure out why they did that.
We were lucky though as our parents never interfered and they always made their relationship their number one priority. What happened in their private lives was none of our business. My parents would have been married for 60 years in May, but both are gone now. His parents have been married for 51 years.
Our older two are grown and gone and thankfully live locally (by their own choice). They call to say hello, but not every day. We watch the grandkids when we can. We do say no when we can't. We'd never dream of interfering in their private lives unless there was an obvious issue that put any of them in danger.
We still have 2 younger teens at home and both are doing fine . . . .for teens that is!
I've no turkey left already with the teenager appetite! 
Love/hate relationship
There are so many things I love about this job, working on my own, being at home, no office politics, better money than I can make anywhere locally, (I live in a rural community) can work in my jammies, flexibility, intellectually challenging...but then again so many things I dislike too.. no appreciation, being squeezed out by technology, not being paid what you're worth, forcing yourself to be self-disciplined, sitting for hours, hands aching, no respect from doctors or the public (Hey, I can type so can I get a job doing what you do??? UGH!), ESLs and poor dictators... it's hard to say which side of me wins out on most days.. It's a job, like any other job, good days/bad days... suits my lifestyle for now so I'll keep at it.. but always keep my eyes open for the future.
I agree with having a good relationship.
Patti, you have probably earned respect because of your excellent turnaround, attention to detail, and responding in a timely fashion when things can get "hairy" so to speak and the office is in need of a report. I also have that kind of relationship with the offices I transcribe for and it is very nice. When I lost my mother, one of my docs, called me personally and told me that he was not at all worried about late dictation because "family comes first". I know these docs are hard to come by, but I have also responded to his STAT requests in a timely manner. I have managed to please his staff and do not come off (just because I'm an IC) that I am not a part of their team and feel the same stresses that come along with being part of the staff. I have been offered lunch if I'm there and a rep has brought in some sandwiches. I have sat and eaten that lunch, too (not everytime) but I want to be part of the team. I think this very much increases your productivity and then like you said when it comes time that you may not have gotten that report back, it is not taken as such a bad thing. We are all human. I feel the OP should have a contract with this office and specify her charges as such. I'm sure glad someone understands though that there are some great offices out there that really do care about their staff, including their IC transcriptionist. 
abusive relationship ruining mt career
I had an extramarital affair. I deeply regret it and am trying to get my life straightened out. I ended the affair and I believe this man wants to see me lose everything out of spite and revenge. I had to quit my last MT job because my computer was hacked and had alerted the company there was a security problem and then a bunch of personal correspondence with this man got uploaded to the company server via "technical assistance" on the phone. I have had harassing phone calls as well and calls that were programmed in my autodial end up at the wrong number or playing Mexican music, etc. I went to the sheriff's department and they did believe my situation, but said there is little I can do about it without filing a report. I do not want to appear spiteful or vengeful, but may have to file a report against this man, but he lives in another state. I just want to put my life back together. I fear with my computer tapped and my phone calls screened I will be unable to secure another job or get the harassment to stop. I have three firewalls on my computer am rural and had to work via satellite. I live in a small town with little opportunity. I am going to lose everything if I cannot work as an MT.
Any MTs victims of domestic abuse and had to deal with anything similar?
If someone is sabotaging my career what am I to do?
I agree here. He may have developed a new relationship on the side. Sorry. nm

This sounds like my kind of relationship! No great expectations and you can relax
I always have a fear of disappointing people. It has caused me to isolate myself...
I don't think it can do that, it you are meaning
HE to He, etc.
I know the meaning is not
derogatory, any more than my grandmother was being derogatory when she said "colored people." Certainly, all the countries you mention (Middle East, etc) can be considered oriental, since the word just means of the east. ("We Three kings from Orient Are.") But I have never heard anyone use the term "Oriental" to describe someone from Turkey, or Saudi Arabia, or any Caucasian person in the eastern hemisphere; only to people from the Far East (many Americans tend to muddle people from these countries into a group because of their similar physical characteristics). At any rate, Asian is the favored term today. Oriental things (such as rugs) are a different story. My cousin (age 54) still uses the word "Oriental" for people from the Far East... she also gets Arabs and Indians mixed up. oriental/occidental
ps CTA meaning to cover their a**.

I said he is the same on the inside, meaning,
he still is the most tender-hearted man I have ever known in my life, the same as 28 years ago when I married him. He knows that I firmly believe that his drinking is wrong and that it is killing him (which I don't want to happen), but, leaving him is not something I want to do (been there, done that). I choose to stay. Not everybody's situation is the same and, Biblically, I have absolutely no reason to leave him nor do I want to leave. I hate to see him killing himself this way and that is something that I pray about daily. 
I was not meaning you directly at all
guess I was just trying to get across the point that in other parts of the states southerns are protrayed as such. I am white, my husband is black and my mixed daughter was an English major in college here in the south and an accountant now, She, along with me, shutter when we hear ebonics. Like where you live and where I live outsiders would probably not believe with all the diversity, huh?
IC status meaning
I worked 3 weeks for a company as IC status. They wanted a schedule so I did one and then the work was not coming through so the third week was told not to do schedule; it did not look like the MD I was going to have would get into a routine. I did the work at night or early morning. Was told I had to work my schedule even if I had no work I had to be there in case it came in. Does IC status not mean TAT and production but flexibility with schedule as long as you get the work done. Also it went from 60 minutes to 120 and then at the time I finished the 100 minutes 85 more came through and it was like she expected me to do it right then. I had 24 hours. Also was called as soon as it uploaded at 4p.m. one day and was asked "ARE YOU TYPING". It was not my scheduled time and it had only been uploaded about 30 minutes. What is your take on this. IC does not mean be harrassed if not an employee with benefits right. No work for 3 days and then hounded as soon as it came in. I am not there now because I voiced my opinion.
IC meaning independent contractor?
As far as I know...no...for independent contractor, they do not have to pay any benefits or even take out SS, so I would think it would be MORE not less for IC. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
I am not meaning to start a firestorm, but can anybody SM
explain this? I'm not trying to get banned, but every other site on the net survives just fine and there is no such restriction on them.
Maybe I'm dense, but I can't even make up a sensible reason for it.
Exactly what I was meaning in post below, but you say it so articulately. Thanks.

It sounds to me like this MTSO needs to look up the meaning of IC. sm
From your description, you have been more than understanding. We set our hours and we work them, but are not sitting here every time something is needed. I have worked 3 IC jobs (simultaneously) in the last 1-1/2 years, and can tell you there are wonderful companies out there that are very considerate. You don't need this one.
Are y'all meaning Sylcount?
If you need an Expander too, you can get Instant Text, which has counting, invoicing, and reporting built in. :-)
Again, you've missed the meaning.
The interpretation is this: Money will speak louder than just writing a letter. Speak financially. Get it now?
'Plenty' meaning - the 6 or 7 people who
The sclerae (plural) are injected, meaning SM
Blood vessels are visible.

Lanier is proprietary meaning it will only work
with a Lanier system and you cannot use a C-Phone or DVI workstation to access a Lanier digital system. You won't be able to use it with a DVI system or Dictaphone. However, if memory serves, you should be able to use a Dictaphone C-phone or DVI workstation interchangeably with most other digital dictation systems and Dictaphone.
I'm glad you brought this up. I've been meaning to
maybe "black and white" chars. (meaning spaces

Does anybody understand the meaning of EmErGeNcY room anymore?
I cannot understand why I type SO many ERs with trivial chief complaints such as:
sore throat - cough - pimple - splinter - blister - farted - (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but COME ON people!)
The most recent ccx.....Can I take a laxative? Not constipated, just needs to know if she can take a laxative along with her hypertension med. Thought she better go to the ER to ask. 
Why are these people allowed to be such a waste of ER resources?
Just a pet peeve....wondering if anyone agrees with me.....perhaps someone else who has spent hours in an ER waiting room for something or other.
isn't off peak meaning night/weekend and therefore would not count toward the 450? nm

well time to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas...
and please dont get me wrong... i know these times are hard for everyone and i hope your work picks up or you find a job that helps... but regarding the holidays... so many of us (myself included) have made this a buy buy buy holiday. I'm been so upset this year because I have bought barely ANY gifts but I simply cannot afford them. So then I realized, it is time for family and togetherness, as generic as that sounds... life is short... it's not about "things" it's about people. And I'm not super religious, but this is a good video below.
good luck on work!

Might be meaning the 3 boxes left upper corner??
the 3 little square boxed in the right hand corner, see them. The middle one makes a bigger screen. Unclick it and it goes back to regular size. This this what you meant.
Well, grammar/punctuation can dramatically alter meaning, so it IS important. nm

Ah yes! Me too, and I needed it!
EMR's -- we will still be needed
I work at a clinic part-time typing into EMR's as well as running my own company. But now they are loading Stedman's spell check and work expanders onto Word so that I can type in word and then transfer the info over to the electronic chart. I type faster in word. They found that it is faster for the doc to dictate rather than type into the chart and not only that, insurances were questioning the "standardization" of the chart notes. Too similar. So I do make sure that even though I use expanders, and macros, I do make some minor changes to "standard exams" so it does not all look the same, but this is with the approval of the docs. But they can see at least 4-6 additonal patients and dictate all the notes rather than type then and are able go home at 5 o'clock instead of 7. Also the TAT is 48 hours and not weeks as the docs would never finish the notes. So we will still be here just typing under a different format.
Thanks, I needed that!
:)
No, what for? Never needed it. nm

thanks, but not what I needed to know
Gee, thanks for all that information. I am well aware that I could send an email, and I am well aware of how to crunch the numbers in terms of rate of pay. I was just hoping to hear from someone who already works for the company. Thanks anyway.
Thanks.. that's what I needed to know
Wasn't sure if it was something routine on every sale or if it was that the buyer backed out. I'll just let it stay there and see if I get payment! I'm hoping to get the hang of listing stuff on ebay, but it took me 2 hours to list that one item! LOL...
yes MTs will always be needed...nm

Thanks, Jay. That's just what I needed to know. nm
