it really depends on where in the country you are located
if you are in NYC or Long Island, the amount is never less than $100. Further north of NY can go about $50. If it's a close relative you go higher in $$.
I'm not sure of anywhere else.
Depends on how you're using it--sm
In a sentence such as "His next appointment will be in mid March," no hyphen is necessary. If you use it as a compound adjective before a noun, such as "His CBC will be checked at his mid-March appointment," you would hyphenate it.
Depends on what you're looking for....I like
www.medilexicon.com for abbreviations and www.rxlist.com for medications. Otherwise I use google.
it all depends what you're looking for
Do you want the truth -- good, bad or ugly -- or do you simply want the "happy face" version of things?
Personally, if I ask about a company and people know of negative things about it, I'd much rather they be honest than give me a positive spin that has no basis in truth. I also appreciate honesty in other issues and if somebody thinks I'm wrong about something, I don't have a problem with them saying so because maybe they're right!
Facts are facts. The MT world isn't a happy place right now and all the pretending in the world isn't going to change that. And since we're all humans, we're all prone to making mistakes and being wrong about things from time to time.
I love this place because I know that the truth gets spoken here - even if it's not something I want to hear. If that ever changed, then I wouldn't be back.
depends how often you're correcting
If it is only a word once in a while that your are back spacing and correcting, that's one thing, but if you are constantly going back and correcting as you go you are losing a lot of productivity. I try to put words I constantly misspell or mistype (like "adn" for and) in my Expander so there's not much correction.
It depends on what you're willing to accept.
I don't have as much experience as you (only 5 years), and I was just raised to 14 cents per gross line from 12 cents. I would think someone with your skills and experience should be able to command a better line rate than 8 cents. Good luck to you. Even with my relatively low experience, I wouldn't get out of bed for 8 cents a line.
depends on what platform you're on...sm
and the company you work for. Ask your supervisor or the tech gurus how to turn off the yellow highlight...It can be done! Good luck.  Cat

It depends on what kind of work you're doing..sm...
If you're doing clinic work, you would need the book that pertains to your clinic. I'd also recommend a Stedman's Abbreviations, acronyms & symbols. I'd also recommend Sander's Pharmaceutical Book. Other than that, I'd use Google and trustworthy websites.
It depends on what kind of voice files you're playing.
The sound on Express Scribe is terrible. I think it's worth it to find a player that plays your voice files with good sound. If you use wav files, a Bytescribe wav player would be excellent (get the dongle version so you get unlimited installs). They also have a version that converts DSS to wav. I complained about the DSS files not sounding clean on speed up and slow down so they told me about another version they have. If you have a Bytescrive wav player, it's already on your computer. Of if you're using DSS files you could also use a DSS player. (I've never tried them).
You're expected quota depends on whether you are paid hourly or per line. SM
I'm paid hourly and I was told the requirement was 50 or more reports per day. I've never worked QA per line, but I'm sure their line quota is pretty high, at least 2000 or better per day, as you get credit for every line in every report you QA.
Hope this was the answer you were looking for.
Is this the one that is located in
If this is the same company, then the reason they do not "pay for spaces" is because they pay by the gross line -- spaces do not matter when counting gross lines.
Don't know where you are located, but (m)
Check this out. It's not for only low income. There is not a pickup point near me so I haven't done it, but if there was one close, I'd be there.

Try doing a search located

where are you located? We might be neighbors!
I live in the Chicago suburbs and a company down the street is owned by a man, and they have a VA account they are hiring for. Just curious if this is for BOS?

I used to have Comcast a couple of years ago and never, ever had a problem with it. Fast, never went down except for the rare maintenance which customers were informed of. I couldn't have been happier with it.
I recently signed back up for Comcast and have noticed that it will randomly just go down for anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes, only 2 lights blinking on the modem for some unknown reason, and then just as randomly start working again. It's gotten me so paranoid I find myself looking at the modem to make sure all 3 lights are working before I try to upload a job so I don't lose it.
I'm in central CA; are you on the west coast as well, or is this perhaps a national issue with Comcast high speed connections? To my recollection, it was never unreliable like this before.
Are they located in Central CA?
I think this place might be local for me.
Never heard of them. Where is their site or ad located? nm

Never mind. I just located the info. SM
Samuel Nowlin Reeves (geologist) is his FATHER.
Wow. This girl swears up and down that the late Christopher Reeves is his father.... DUH... I don't think so.
Thanks anyways. (Cant wait to tell her na na na na na tomorrow. LOL)

Where would this feature be located on the drop-down menu on top?
Thanks.
Do a search to see where the file is located on your hard drive.
Make note of the full location name. Next, in ES, choose Load and go to the above-noted location to find the file. Hit the Load button and you're in business.

Hope you're gonna have a glass of wine while you're relaxing
in your spa goodies. Congrats!
Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
If you're experienced, try for 9cpl or higher, and you're lucky to get that! nm

Skip it. No one cares. Either you're good on the test or you're not.

You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.

You're forgetting all the stuff you can't buy when you're UNEMPLOYED!
Unemployed people have a hard time buying anything, including cheaply made offshore products. How many will have to end up depending on public assistance? That means more tax dollars being eaten up - besides the taxes NOT being collected from the overseas workers. In the long run, are you really enjoying a lower price?
If you're on the job, ask for samples to do it how they want it. If you're testing, separate o

You're not losing it, you're burned out on your main job.
I feel for you... I am having my own "version" ;-) of these kinds of struggles. Lots of recent changes at the admin level have made my job do a 180, going from a really great one to a really crappy one.
For me, it's a struggle to get through the day with a shred of motivation. I get distracted in the way you discuss as well.
I just try to make my environment as comfortable as possible and make the best of it while I decide what the best way is to deal with the burnout... I figure if I can't change my inner brain workings so that I still like this job, I need to find another one, or this feeling will possibly get worse!
I hope it works out for you. Wish I had some better advice for you, but this really does look like burnout and extreme job dissatisfaction to me. We all wear it differently. Try to be good to yourself while you figure out a solution.
Don't know what you're complaint you're making with this post. sm
You stated in your original post that you don't want to work weekends or odd shifts. What is your definition of an odd shift? Second shift? Third shift? Sounds like you want to work M-F on days. Sounds kind of rigid to me. 
Personally I like second shift, so everyone working days means more work for me!

If they're withholding taxes, you're not an IC.
As an IC, you should already be paying taxes. That said, the only benefit having them withhold FICA is that your Social Security/Medicare share will be less. Social Security is 15%; if you're an employee, you pay 7.5% and your employer pays 7.5%. As an IC, you pay 15%. Doing the math, 0.0925 would be your 0.10 minus 7.5%--the 0.0924 is just a tad less than you're making now.
