I loved my Selectric!!! still miss those days...
don't notice things have improved much - less human contact - what's the big deal about speed? Are we in a race?
I would go back to those days in a heartbeat - it just seemed like we laughed more, had more time for each other.
Is that my imagination?
I loved 5.1 with Smart Type and miss it, but I make more now sm
I don't think it is the platform (Extext) or the work (now acute, but 5.1 time was with clinic), I think it is me being better able to do the job and a more steady flow of work.
I miss The Practice! Loved that show. Now watch Boston Legal and Conviction. nm

Indiana?
If this is the company in Indiana who has Louisville accounts, be forewarned. The accounts are nearly all ESL, the system they use to type isn't very good and the spellcheck is horrible. They also bounce payroll checks and there are no set paydays.
Not Indiana sm
No business license is required in Indiana.
I live in Indiana
this is the first year that our state has had to change time officially, however for years we have been dealing with two different times "fast time" and "slow time"... My husband and I worked on fast time (we changed our clocks), my son went to school on "slow time", my county was right on the edge of the time change, If I made a right at the end of my road I was heading into "fast time", If I made a left I was heading into "slow time"... very confusing and a real PAIN... We are so happy that we are officially changing to Daylight Savings time with the rest of this country this year as a state. It will make my life so, so much easier. I believe only Indiana, Arizona and Hawaii were the only states that did not "change their clocks" and I, for one, am happy that Indiana is finally changing!
Indiana pay rates
I HAVE A NEW PROSPECTIVE CLIENT IN THE Indiana AREA, THE DOCTOR DICTATION IS 75% TEMPLATE BASED AND HE WISHES TO PAY AN HOURLY RATE. I HAVE ONLY DONE PER LINE RATE AND LIVE IN ANOTHER STATE. CAN ANYBODY TELL ME THE GOING HOURLY RATE IN INDIANA/KENTUCKY BORDER AREA? 
Indiana pay rate
Thanks for the info
Northwest Indiana MTs
I am from Northwest Indiana and have Comcast. It is always down. Does anyone else from Northwest Indiana have this problem with Comcast? Are there other companies out there to choose from? My husband swears up and down that Comcast is all we can get here. I know south of us there is Nitco, but I do not believe you can get it where I live. Any information would be helpful. I am trying to obtain a new at-home position and am worried about the Internet connection going down on me while I am working.
today it is 2.49 a gallon, NE Indiana

Indiana Unemployment Question
Someone just told me that Indiana unemployment has changed, in that you now have to wait six weeks for your first check. Does anyone know if this is correct or not?
Help, Mediscribe of Indiana, NOT MedScribe of FLA, need to know....sm
I am so confused, the recruiter called me out of the blue last night, don't remember dropping a resume there, but she had my resume....anyway, offered great IC position, great pay, lots of good points, sent contract....but I THOUGHT I was speaking with MedScribe, does ANYBODY know/know of Mediscribe of Indiana? It all sounds great, but I want a GOOD company, and whenever I do a search, I keep coming up with posts about MedScribe. TIA!!!
I'm in North Central Indiana
and have used ATT/yahoo DSL. Not sure if this would work for your or not, but I've used it for years and very rarely have problems.
Bern
PS- GO ND
I'm in East Central Indiana and
have Comcast. When we first had it, it was down all the time. It turned out to be a faulty modem, which they had supplied. Once they changed that out, they have been incredibly reliable. It is very, very rare that they are down, and if they are it is usually less than an hour.
Man, its HOT in Indiana! Talk about global warming!
How 'bout where U live?
I'm from Northeast Indiana and have Comcast. I have few problems SM
with Comcast being down, but when I do I usually unplug everything from the modem and wait a few seconds, plug it back in and I'm good to go.
I had the same thing with a client in Indiana - did their work for 5 years
Then someone from Connecticut stole the account - underbid me, and the work just kept getting slower and slower, and I asked questions of what was going on, and no answer. Finally the girl that USED to send the work to me called me and told me they were going with Mary's service, and I should be looking for something else, and that they had no intention of telling me because they were using me for stats, etc. (I didn't charge extra for stats, and she did).
So Mary, I know who you are, and I hope RP's dictation is driving you NUTS!
There I feel better.
You are in Maine, right Hayseed? I am in Indiana, and I totally agree SM
with you. It has been bitterly cold the past week with snow most every day, including today. I am glad I dont have to go out in it.
I get frustrated over the same issues as other MTs, but I just do what you said, walk away and try to keep a good attitude.
And I bet you miss Dan Rather
how'd I miss that one? nm
Yes, we certainly are going to miss
him here in KY
I will miss them too!
I don't know if I can wait until next summer for it to start up again!
In the same both, I miss my WP5.1 ..nm

Hit or Miss?
Ok, from what I am gathering is that it is pretty much a "hit or miss" when it comes to taking MT courses, no matter who they are.
I have never heard anyone say anything negative about Andrews or M-Tec. Is it possible that ALL of their students are 100% satisfied?
What I miss and what I don't
What I miss from in-house - being able to talk to the doctors and techs about problem reports, being able to ask for clarification and get an immediate answer, very easy QA, very easy dictations, the easy wardrobe (we wore scrubs), the security and perks, knowing if I had a low production day or took vacation my check wouldn't suffer, and the friends I made there.
What I don't miss - Getting paid the same (or less) than than slackers, having to rotate weekends, constant interruptions, constant demands (fax this, drop what you're doing and find my report, boring staff meetings while the work piles up, shop/cook for this potluck), little kids screaming in the hall, politics and getting along with difficult people.
But I'd say - go for it, if you'll make more money at a job that close, its a chance in a lifetime.
Did I miss something?!
Why do people insist I am not listening, researching, and typing?! I am so stressed out to the max to try and impress people for what?! Pennies per line! No feedback anyone gives me is going to change the fact that the blind leads the blind at the service?! Do it this way, no do it that way?! No "listening" is going to make an ESL talk any better, slower, or clearer! Wow! I came here for support, from people who understand, not to get a "keep trying, you'll never know everything!" I NEVER said ANYTHING about not wanting feedback or about my ability! None of this has to do with what was originally posted! Please, only reply with what pertains to the actual post! Thanks!
did I miss something? what does this message mean?
Just wonderin' , BTW!
Dont miss it at all......
Been without it for a year now. I have a greater appreciation for PBS!! And, I find that since I have the television on less, I am much more productive. My kids are out of the house now, I currently live alone, so did not need cable.
I do get my fix of viewing when I spend the week-ends at my fiances place tho.
MQLOVER I miss you too
Are you with Frankie Boy. Heard he got banned. May be you guys are out. It is Friday night.
Did Zipper go with you?
I miss Janelle!
Darn Maggie and Yvette! Janelle deserved to win Big Brother 6, IMHO. She was the best. Hate what's left of the "Nerd Herd."
I love BB6 and I miss
Janelle, too! I don't want either Ivette or Maggie to win! They are disgusting.
Oh, it's Miss I Have the Last Word!
Okay, here's my reply. Go ahead and post yours now.
Control freaks always want to home school. I should have known.
LOL
So predictable.
Okay, honey, go ahead and post. I know you're itchin' to!
I miss the hospitals too.
But things are so different there now that the online companies exist. It changed the way transcription is handled in most places. When I went back to working for a hospital last year, the supervisor wanted a certain amount of lines per day versus minutes per day like the old days. It was an outrageous number and with no Expander or medical speller or anything.
I miss dancing
Haven't gone out dancing since about 1990.
I told my 24-year-old I want to go before I die and she said she would take me to a club with drag queens who perform on stage. I can't wait!!!
did I miss anything good?
xx
you miss the point entirely...sm
the posting is very specific as to what information to provide to apply for the job. No one is telling anyone WHEN or HOW to do any work. We are not even there yet. And I am well aware of what the IRS definition is of a contractor - you forget that one of the requirements is that the IC is supposed to provide THEIR OWN equipment to get the work done.
As far as buying software to work for you that they probably wouldn't be able to use elsewhere-- they don't have to. I never said they had to. I just said if they wanted THIS JOB, they had to. I specifically gave the example of a C-phone. I hardly consider a C-phone to be equipment you can't use anywhere else. And if they are aren't willing to buy the C-phone...fine. But then don't apply for a job posting where you are told it is required!!!
For the attachments, I didn't say it was a big deal. I know how to delete. The point is: Hello? can you follow directions? Can you read?
"Most other companies either do payroll deductions or provide software at no charge with the explicit language in the contract that software is to be deleted upon termination." And tell me how many of those companies are willing to hire and train a newbie fresh out of MT school? I'll give you a hint, starts with Z for zero.
If you can't afford the equipment that is listed in the job as a requirement for the job, then don't apply. That's all. I just don't get why they are applying when they aren't willing to fulfill their end of the proposal?
Miss all the action too. Not like it used to be.
Used to work for an old country GP. Had a guy stagger in with the tip of his finger hanging from a close encounter with a table saw. Blood everywhere. We gave him a roll of paper towels and went to fetch "the mop" out of the garage. It was 20 below out and the mop was frozen solid so we ran it under hot water in the kitchen sink and cleaned up the blood spills. No gloves. No worries.
Many stories from that place. My favorite was the patient in the waiting room with a paper bag full of baby chickens that he had to bring in because it was too hot in the car and he had to stop in on his way home for his weekly BP check.
I sometimes miss the noise of the sm
keyboard. I really liked the sound of the IBM wheelwriter. My kids use to say it sounded like shooting a gun when I would be in my office typing.
I reply to either because I don't want to miss a
possible good opportunity. It doesn't matter to me if the pay rate is listed or not.
L'il Miss know it all
I think someone should chase you around with a pitchfork. I am surprised that anyone would even hire you with your nasty attitude. The world does not revolve around you, although you seem to want to make it so.
Yes, my friend and I miss her :-(
What a small world! 
miss the old days
I, for one, miss the old days when an MT could work at their local hospital and make a very nice hourly wage with benefits, not to mention all the on-the-job learning on a daily basis, having doctors sometimes within ear-shot that you can ask a question. I have not made decent money since our hospital outsourced. It's a shame that the transcription department and its employees are a thing of the past.
You miss the point. sm
You're talking about a level of knowledge versus our discussing skill.
The SKILLS are the same for QA and voice recognition editing. Reviewing word-for-word, 100% attentive, etc.
Level of knowledge may be different between new MTs and QA but not always, lol. I have seen plenty of QA who can be outdone by nonmedical persons.
I LOVED IT. . . .
And had to forward it to all my "crabby" friends.
I loved my cat too and still do
I had to put my 18-plus year old cat to sleep 2 months ago. She was with me since she was born. She had end-stage renal failure and for a year I had to give her three times weekly infusions of Ringer's. She was actually really healthy right up until the end though and used to boss the other 2 youngsters around. I miss her every day. She went with me back and forth across the country. I know exactgly how you feel.
