reply regarding how you fared on your test. For those of you who are presently going through this situation, I would suggest going back and reading the email you sent requesting the information. Often times online, the inflections in our words are misconstrued. You may be wasting time imaging the worst.
Second solution; just forward a copy of your original email to them; it only takes 10 seconds.

Those who do not adapt will become extinct
You can obsess and wring your hands and post multiple threads (running off people who might otherwise support you), or you can change. The world is changing and it was here first.
Who says the rest of us don't love what we do and wish there were more quality MTs in the industry (and give advice as to how to BE a good MT), but to cry poor work ethics as the reason work is going offshore and ignore and reject the reality of the industry will drive you into therapy or into a different career...thereby accelerating the extinction of MT as it has been in the past.
I don't pretend to speak for the others on the board, but the first time I read your postings, I agreed. But now, I feel you have a different motivation, have become selfish, manic, obsessive and a bit off balanced. I can't hear what you are saying because you are getting in the way of the message.
Nuff said.
Alas. Those MP35's are extinct. SM
Lanier no longer makes them, if you mean the little button ear pieces with the thin wires. I have been looking for them for years. I think I bought the last set in captivity maybe 4 years ago.
There are no more - businesses have sent me links to headsets "just like the Lanier" but they aren't. If you use and love them, you'll know what I mean. 
do you know how rare 9.3 cpl is?
I'm all for being honest so here it is: The cost of living has continued to rise while our pay has continued to drop.
Many of us are single moms or have husbands who are laid off making us the sole breadwinner right now. No, we don't have the inherent extra expenses that go along with working outside the home, but we DO have rent/mortgages, utilities, insurance, taxes, and school expenses to pay for and food to buy.
We don't have the luxury of working part-time...we have to scrape and claw and fight for every possible line we can get every single day just to survive. Many of us are fighting a war that you'll never see covered on the nightly news.
If we don't keep speaking out about this -- who will? We HAVE to stand up for ourselves because no one else is going to!
There's your honesty. If you're not personally in this situation, then count your blessings.
Not rare
I had an account where a company of dictators (not doctors, but PACs I think) was hired specifically to do dictations of discharge summaries. There was a lot of shuffling of papers, but some of them did quite well, considering they probably never met the patient, and I was happy that clear-speaking people were hired to do the dictations of a few very heavy ESL MDs. I don't know how accurate the dictation was, but it sure made my job a lot easier. I have to admit that I wouldn't want my own reports as a patient dictated by an outside person, though.
$35 an hour! lol That is so rare for MTs now.
Maybe 5 years ago. Not anymore. I do both and make more with QA :)
It is so rare that I have no work that I use
that time to do things I don't normally have time to do, like clean and organize my house, get to some of those craft projects I've been wanting to do. If you have been that long without work it is time to start looking.
That's awesome and very rare, I'm sure!
listen - it's a RARE MT who could do 4000 LPD..
can also use your cell phone but it's rare
If you have bluetooth technology on your cell phone, you can get a cheap bluetooth plug-in for your laptop and use the cell phone as sort of a modem. Good luck trying to do it, though :*( I have Verizon and have everything I need but they have some double-knot top secret spy access phone number that they don't give out. If you can somehow get that number, you can connect anywhere you can get phone service. (and if you can get it, PUHLEEEEASE let me know it! LOL) I think that most, if not all, of the major cell phone providers have this same capability.
Barring that, you can get a card from your laptop maker (i.e., Dell).
Here's a link to Sprint's mobile broadband card. Through 6/17/07, they have a promotion going and the card itself is free after a $49.99 mail-in rebate. You have to sign up for their service, which is $59.99/month if you have their voice service (i.e., you have a Sprint cell phone and calling service) or $79.99/month if you don't.

Verizon has several mobile broadband cards (you want one that is 'Rev A' compatible/capable). Here's a link to a page with all of them and their prices ($9.99-$179.99) which are 2-year contract prices.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneOverviewByDevice&deviceType=Wireless%20PC%20Cards
They have 2 plans: National Access $59.99/month & Broadband Access $79.99/month.
Hope this all helps!

It is so rare that people sell their used
IT software, and when I've seen it up for sale, the person selling usually wants $150 or even more for it.
I purchased mine new from Textware Solutions. It just wasn't worth it to me to wait for someone to put one up for sale and you have to count on them to get the license transfer done, I think. With the extra production I'm able to do with it, I figure the software paid for itself in a month.
It would be very rare to be paid by the hour
while working at home. Too many variables and too many people would take advantage
It's rare to have ops offered out here, anymore. The keep them in house more and more. nm
s
They aren't that rare. I've worked with SM
bunches of them. Unfortunately, my experience with them boils down to this: The men who do this usually are the men who can't get along in a work environment with a lot of other men.
Hourly QA seems to range $13-18/hr. with rare few making
s
If you work for a smaller MTSO, it is rare that
they offshore. I work for a small one FT and another one as an IC, and there has never been talk of them offshoring. A lot of the smaller MTSOs don't.
Well, you're a rare one... mostly I get newbies demanding I hire them...sm
for a variety of reasons- because I really-really-really want this job, because I have to work at home to take care of my kids/mother/handicapped sister/old dog, because how can I get experience if you DON'T hire me, etc. etc. Most can't pass a grammar test to show they can use effect/affect effectively, and some even reply with emails riddled with typos and sloppy work. So good for you, but you're about one in a million...sad to say
It's a rare place that pays extra for CMT. 8-8.5 cpl is the average for anyone right
s
Some rare purchases of this made on eBay for around $40, but doubt
s
Except, you are in the minority. It's RARE when MTSOs actually pay extra for CMTs.

Probably something to do with carpal tunnel - The rare times mine acts up - sm
my thumbs get weird and trembly (?). I suspect that is your problem. Try changing your keyboard position, if you have it raised, make it flat, and visa versa. On my backup computer I have to have the keyboard raised but on my everyday PC I have it flat, and my CTS does not bother me now that I have my keyboards situated well for me.
I'm expensive, .15 & .17 for my accounts, no extra for stats which are rare. Bay area CA. nm

who did you receive it from?
Can't you ask if you can receive more of them?
xx
where/how did you receive this?
i receive spam emails, but nothing so closely related to what i do as a job...
i dont understand how our jobs can be sent to people that cannot form correct English sentences.
i will NEVER understand this business anymore, and that is why it is time for me to get out of it.
Experience doesn't matter anymore. if they can pay someone as cheap as possible to get the work done, they will do it. And the MT's that accept it hurt the rest of us that deserve more.
im so sick of it! those of you that make good money, count your blessings! A few years ago I was making 50K... now not even CLOSE with the technology and outsourcing...
who stays in a job where their salary has been cut almost 50%?
RE: You will not receive a 1099 if
you made less then $600, but the IRS will receive a copy of your earnings regardless. You have to claim all of your income no matter what the amount. Of course, if you made under $600, most likely the tax will be minimal if any.
I receive 2 different CMT incentives.
Two of the companies I work part-time for provide a CMT incentive. One of them pays an extra 1 cent per line and the other, I get 0.005 (half a cent) per line for a CMT incentive. These are on top of my production incentives and quality incentives (at one company).
It does mean extra money and I know what it means to me personally.
Nevermind the naysayers here. They are bitter about quite a long list of things in the MT world.
Hi. I emailed you. If you didn't receive it please
let me know on here so I can try again. THX
most impacting gift I could ever receive
My husband took my two children to the local mall where an artist scetched their portrait. He put their portrait in a beautiful frame and wrapped it for me to receive on Christmas.
I did not receive your email...could you please resend? nm

She did receive helpful information.
Information that she can use and information that she may not want to acknowledge but is still true.
How to receive daily digest?-please help
Many, many months ago I somehow figured out on this site how to receive a daily digest through email each day and I enjoy that. Now I would like to tell a couple MTer's how to receive this Daily Digest as well, but am not able to find the directions on this site again. If anyone could tell me how to sign up for the Daily Digest, would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
I receive dss files with new version of ES
I just downloaded the newest version of ES, 4.17, a couple of days ago and I receive dss files fine. There was a couple of glitches in the "settings" which I had to change, but now plays fine.
Another possibility: I know when I first downloaded the free ES on my second computer, I could not listen to the files, but it was because I had a different foot pedal on that computer and so I had to go in and make some changes concerning the foot pedal settings in ES.
Are you able to play the files using just the hot keys? If you would like to compare the "settings" which I have on my computer for ES to yours, let me know and I can do that either by email or phone.
How do you receive your dictation from clients
I had used transcriptiongears call in system at one time, but it was too expensive for me. I want to try to pick up another client, but wondered what is the most cost effective method to receive their dictations. Any advice?
It will still work, but will not allow you to receive updates.
.
Do you receive a statement along with the card? nm
nm
You claim it in 2009. If you did not receive
it in 2008, it does not matter it was owed, only what you received in the calendar year.
i did receive account stability pretty much with TT sm
did not start at 9; started at 8 and stayed there. supervisors were easily accesible and very friendly. one computer tech not so friendly nor helpful. lots of bonuses when behind on work with TT. i quit due to ESLs and went back to clinic work.
You will receive an E-mail from the administrator tomorrow. nm

We did not receive your email with your glossary attachment
Hi Kim,
According to our records, Marianne sent you a file to resolve the issue. I still did not receive your email with the glossary attachment and I am not sure why it did not come through to my email but Marianne was able to receive it and she replied with the file attachment. Did you still have trouble after receiving Marianne's email? If so, please let us know and we will give you a call so we don't have to worry about having any more lost emails. :-)
welcome, you dont' pay to send out or receive until you go over a certain limit. sm
i use several different email addies with them so that when i run out of room, i change to a different acct to send work/receive work.
Most financial advisors say when you receive a windfall...
After paying any necessary debts, etc., put the remainder in a CD or money market account and let it accumulate interest for a while so you can consider your options. You don't want to jump into (or out of) anything on the spur of the moment.
I guess the question is, is this a job you want to keep? If so, I think the advice the MTSO below gave is great - talk to your supervisor or lead, explain the situation, and ask if you can take some time off and still have a job waiting for you when you get back.
If it's not a job that you want to keep, then don't worry about it. Quit, spend some time with your daughter, then look for another job. You will certainly have enough money to tide you over!
P.S. For financial advice, check out one of Dave Ramsey's Endorsed Local Providers in your area. (link below) Look at the top right corner of the page under Trusted Services. Their goal is not to tell you what you should do with your money, but teach you how to make the right decision about your money and investments.
Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! 
additionally, ask, as well as receive, written documentation.

Cannot send/receive mail in Outlook Express
I am able to connect fine to my dial-up ISP. I have not been able to receive/send any E-mail from Outlook Express today at all. I can receive the mail from that account through my Yahoo web site and am able to go to what is callled Mailstorm, through my ISP, where junk mail is filtered and so everything works fine that way. Any ideas on what the problem could be?
I have contacted my ISP via E-mail but have not received a response yet so that makes me wonder if there is not an issue on their end.
Any suggestions would certainly be appreciated.
Looking foreward to input that you receive. Last year bought a
MatMassager by Homedics, 5-motor Full Body Massager with heat for hubby & myself - just on a fluke. I was desperate and out of ideas for something different, it was on sale, thinking it wouldn't really meet the claims that were advertised on the box.
Well, my fluke purchase far exceeded my expectations. It ended up the "favorite" choice of gifts. Hubby & I love it - as did children & grandchildren. Amazed everyone as to how fantastic it felt - with those trying it not willing to get up in order for someone else to try it out.
As far as just a back massager cushion - I really can't offer an opinion - though am also looking into this for myself while working. If I find out anything,I'll post my feedback for you.
Personally, after trying the MatMassager,with major trepidation, yet with such positive input, I wouldn't be afraid to try anything made by Homedics/Shiatzu. As with anything - read all guarantees, warranties., etc. As happy as I am with what I purchased through such, I imagine there are those with just the opposite experience. Just giving you feed-back on "my" experience to date!!
URGENT REQUEST: An MT that we sent a box of gifts to did not receive the package.
It was delivered to their porch according to UPS but she did not get it. It contained gifts for her children. Because we did not put insurance on the package, UPS will do nothing to assist. The box alone to ship had cost $45.00 and insurance would have cost another $25.00. It is a sad story, but what it boils down to is that the kids won't have a Christmas. All monies in the Santa's House for Christmas Angels fund have been dispersed through the Christmas Angel program.
So, I am here to ask for help. I would like to raise $150 to $200 today if at all possible and for anyone who donates $10.00 or more to this special cause, I will give a software package that contains a word Expander and spellchecker that is worth over $100.00 for your trouble. Donations can be made to sales@mtstars.com via Paypal.
Again, thank you for your consideration.
MT week, did anyone receive recognition from your place of employment?
AND, have you ever done anything for others that are MTs? If you work for a national, ever send them a basket of cookies or anything for MT week? Do you really thing curiosity killed the cat?
I use efax -- can receive unlimited faxes for free. sm
I have a fax machine, but rarely send faxes, so it works out well for me. I do not have to tie up my phone line waiting for a fax -- it just comes to me via email. 
You did not receive spam via this website. Your email address is not available
and is protected from bots that glean email addresses from websites. As far as that email is concerned, it has been cycling around for years and anyone could receive it.
In this business in order to remain qualified to receive
those benefits, you must maintain the required line count/pay earned per pay period. Otherwise, you shall find you're working for nothing extra.
It also doesn't matter if your place of employ runs out of work, which in turn hinders you from qualifying for those benefits, you lose them regardless.
Ahh, the joys of the Medical Transcription field.
Best of luck with your new practice.
The should've just saved the stamp as it would have been less insulting to receive
x
And should you not receive your final paycheck in a reasonable amount of time,
notify them that you will be filing complaints with the Department of Labor, the BBB, the FTC, the state attorney general's office, and small claims court.
