At Qnet....in 2007 MT week...nm
xx
where/what is Qnet??
what is the exact website address for this Qnet I keep hearing about??
Medquist.com - QNet
Well, continuing from my message above - maybe I've been let go & they haven't told me yet - not kidding. I have received no memo regarding change in I-Mail, so, per your message, went to Medquist.com, QNet, then your message said to follow the links - what links?? I-Mail only took me to my I-Mail registration site- nothing new, changed, or new information. Tried a couple of other sites & got absolutely no where!! Geez - I only thought I was lost - now I'm totally baffled & don't know where to go from here! Guess I could try voicemail, but, there again not sure who or whom I should call as personnel changes have been made & I have no clue who to contact nor extension to call! Hopefully, getting in touch with who I think is and/or was my MT Supervisor will get me some help, although voicemail received today was from one of the new supervisors - my new supervisor? I, again, have no clue. Any other suggestions anyone?! As all of my "familiar" leadership & support over the last 12 yrs has now disappeared, I'm just about ready to call it quits myself. A fiasco & confusion such as this, which in the overall picture is minute, would never have occurred to begin with under their leadership. I truly believe I'm not the only one who has no clue as to what is going on simply regarding I-Mail, which makes me wonder who knows what is going on with anything. Getting too scary for me with no one knowing, or admitting to anything, & communication diminishing to nil. I'm done trying things tonight (well,this a.m.). Will await getting a "memo" (i.e. still nothing), and go from there !!!
Go to the QNet site and
fill out the Employee Complaint Form. That will be filed immediately and routed appropriately.
New documents on QNet for MQ MTs
Go to QNet; look under Policy & Governance; click on Human Resources in the window to the right there are two new documents --- MTME Benefit Policy.
It's all apparently still in the workings but they are starting to post documents as they are readied.
Just thought I would share.
MQ -- QNet has MT/ME Rewards Plan
There is a new heading on QNet now. It says MT/ME Rewards Plan. When you click on it, a Rewards Plan HEAT Self Service new window pops up.
Apparently, as we get our individual calls from the MT/ME Rewards Plan team, we will be given some type of login to use on this board. Should be interesting!
I don't suppose anyone has heard from the Rewards team yet?!?!?!
go to Medquist.com, click on QNet, then follow the links (sm)
this is what my new message this morning said. I haven't tried it yet, so let me know if it works.  I think this is what they're trying to do to our brains!
Is there engineer week? Astronaut week? Veterinarian week?

Typically this week is a slow week in lots of places
because it is a big vacation week. Typically things slow dow a bit in the summer too because people are putting off elective surgery, but at the same time lots of people going on vacation so it should balance out.
Lowest runs $900 week, highest $1400 week (sm)
Get paid 12 CPL. Been doing transcription for about 12 years.
I work 6 days a week every other week
Due to my company's payroll (it runs Sun-Sat), I'm able to work a rotating schedule with every other weekend off. Week 1 I work Sunday through Thursday with Fri, Sat, Sun off. Week 2 I work Monday through Friday with Saturday only off. Then I'm back to week 1 and get that following weekend off.
I've found that I'm more productive with shorter shifts and I have kids in school anyway, so I work a lot of split shifts during the week. If possible, you might want to consider cutting back your hours to 30 hours and just work five 6-hour days in split shifts, 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening.
I have no AC. Will be in 90s again her in WI next week...
Ugh. Ugh. Worst part is my little kids. And, everything feeling sticky. I hate that.
*send me cool breezes* LOL!
Maybe twice a week. That is enough for me. nm

$60 a week ($12 a day) nm

Did see that one, but saw one last week where...
this anti child predator group posed as young teenagers on the internet and lured men to a house where NBC cameras were set up. In 3 days about 20 men showed up to have sex with 12/13/14 yo boys and girls. What was shocking was that not all of them were non-functional anti-social types. Many of them were professionals including a TEACHER, rabbi, ER doctor, etc. You should have seen their reaction when they realized they were speaking with NBC Primtime and their faces were going to be showcased on national TV. Needless to say, the professional men's lives have been ruined. It is scary to think there are so many seemingly trustworthy men who would show up to have sex with a child. VERY SCARY. Lesson for parents. Don't allow you children to use chat rooms PERIOD!
I wish I saw this last week sm
I just ordered a bunch, but I'll keep track of your web sites and check them out. Thanks for the tip.
She already said 50 hrs per week and
That means she's making around $25 an hour, which is about right for an experienced MT with their own accounts and lots of shortcuts, templates, and expanders. Working for a company and working for self are two completely different ballgames. If you work for a company, then the person you are working for is making 3-4 cpl (at least) more than you are in order to pay you what you make and still earn a profit to run the business. If you work for yourself, then you set the rates based on what you need to make to earn a living. I would say a good average CPL rate for MTs with their own accounts is probably 12-13 cpl so you can do the math. If an MT is working for self making 12 cpl, in order to earn $25 an hour, they'd need to produce 208 lines. Not exactly unrealistic for anyone with experience and expanders, etc.
Sorry if you all aren't making that kind of money, but it can be made if you are good at what you do and you utilize production aids and don't settle for measly 6-cpl jobs.
my first week on my own
Wow. I started with two companies at once which was dumb, but on is limited and pays better. Only thing is their software is the most unuser friendly thing and I can't seem to understand. I have to download the voice files from their site, transfer that name -DSS onto the text name, type the reports in Word and transfer them over too. It's ridiculous. Then I started with Infomatics which seems like a sweat shop. If i made $75 all week, it's a lot. They finally sent me a food pedal, and would you believe it was defective? I've used either hot keys or the screen on the monitor. Takes 4 hours to do a 20 minute job, no joke. They are like a sweatshop. Got offer from Ameriscribe but don't want to work weekends. I ran my own service, apparently from the stone age, and this is really a hard transition. The typing is easy if I had a footpedal and with the other company could understand their stupid, stupid software! HELP!
I had one the other week who...
kept slamming the receiver down on a hard surface while she paged through the chart. And then when she picked it up again, she started speaking before she had it close to her mouth, so I lost a lot of what she was saying. What a pain!
By the way, I was going 2 x a week at first, then 1 x a week and - sm
as I said now once every 2 weeks. As mentioned below avoid those that want to see you every day (I did that once years ago....bill was $600 after 3 days...needless to say I argued the bill and got it knocked down to about $200 and never went back) or use weird gadgets, etc. There are good ones out there.
This is the second week that
I didn't enjoy the show. They all seemed nervous or off. Kelly's twang is getting on my nerves. She reminds me of Ellie May from the Beverly Hillbillies. Is there anyone else out there that thinks Kenny Rogers looks like Merv Griffin? His plastic surgery certainly is subtle. 
I am going to do it once a week. (sm)
I'm so excited. I may finally be blackhead free. I was just about to buy some expensive stuff. This cost me a whole doll-hair!!!!
mt week
is MT week next week?? thanks
What do you think this week?
And again Taylor and Elliot take the cake in my book. I thought Katherine did poorly again. She should have thanked her lucky stars that she didn't get sent home last week and picked up the pace, but obviously she didn't. Chris was just okay in my opinion. He is actually boring me lately. I used to think he was great. Still think he has talent, just not entertaining anymore.
GO ELLIOT!!!! GO TAYLOR!!!!!
MT Week.......................nm

MT week
Thanks a bunch for the good wishes! It means a lot to all of us.
MT Week
 Happy MT Week to All!
mt week
nothing so far, i did send an email to the group.
MT week, that is
:-)
MT Week
Yeah. I never ever win anything. That just made my day.
MT week
I took my I/C's out to a nice lunch, gave them a raise and am taking myself to Vegas on Monday for three days.
MT Week
Yes, my company made a donation in all our names to breast cancer research. I think that is a very wonderful thing to do. I was touched and pleased.
OMG, you are going the same week I am!
with a 3-1/2-yo. Caravelle is great, too, but Compass Cove has better pools and a couple of lazy rivers, one that's indoor for rainy days. Plus they are cheaper, too. They have a kids pool with a submarine that the kids can climb around in and water buckets that tip over and pour water on them, etc. Very cool and my kids love it! They are 6 and 12, and even my 12-yo has fun with the dumping buckets. You should email me and I can tell you more about both places, but Compass Cove is the best all-around deal. We are going the exact same week so maybe we can even meet and say hello!!
Oh, and yes, they have a really good buffet breakfast that's included in the package deal. In fact, if a place doesn't offer that, it's a dealbreaker for us now! LOL!
If you're interested in email about this, I'd love to chat with you more about it. :) I think I'm set up so you can email me but if not, let me know and I'll try to change it, or I can email you. :)
WOW! I cannot believe we are going the same week...lol
There is not a link on their to email you...I get a little confused with how to do it too...lol....Where are you from? I am from WV....It is about an 8 hour trip for us but I cannot wait...We used to go 1-2 times EVERY year but for the pasted few years have slowed down - last year we did not even get to go....We usually stay at Sandcastle South - I usually go with my family...It is okay -kinda plain in decorations..and too expensive for what they have to offer I think...My family loves it though...So since we are going just our family I am going to where I want to go....lol...
I will try to add my email on here so feel free to email me...and yeah, maybe we can meet...that would be neat! 
very bad week
One of my favorite neighbors was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and will be lucky if he is here in three weeks. His gallbladder and pancreas are gone as well as 2/3 of the liver and so he unable to eat anything. But he says that he is in no pain. They were treating him for ulcers for the past six months. My 15 year old doggie was diagnosed with a cancerous growth on her neck/jaw and if I don't have it removed she won't be able to eat in a month or so and with removal the doc thinks that I will have a year or so since she is still in good shape and this type of cancer does not metastasize. So it has been a down week for me but all you can do is to put one foot in front of the other and keep trucking.
MT Week
I see where you got the impression that Diskriter gave out AMEX - that was donated to MT Stars as a giveaway.
MT Week
Funny thing is, shortly before I quit, they sent out an email asking everyone to nominate them for MT Company of the Year for MT Week.
Hmmm.... Doubt very much they are going to win that award! :)
MT WEEK
Thanks Transtech for the American Express Gift Cheque. You guys are the best!!!!
It took me about a week
to get used to it and about a month to get proficient with it. I have been using it for six years and I can't type without it. I have entire templates in it, phrases, words, you name it.
Just about $500 a week
but that's as an employee.
What a week!
Is it just me or has anyone else out there had a H*LL of a week too. I don't know...maybe the stars are out of whack or something. It just seemed like no matter how hard I worked I couldn't get anything done.
On VR for a 4 day week
I average around $500 per week (some straight but mostly VR at 4 cents per line).
MT week?
Any of your employers out there or customers do anything for you for MT week?
MT week
Yep - got a pen, printed thank you card and a laminated instruction sheet after five years. Lucky to get that as an IC I guess.
MT week
HECK NO!!! I never get anything for MT week. I'm lucky if I get a thank you.
Oh yes, second week of new job sm
Given a challenging hospital which is nice. They quoted me one rate of pay, but the contract showed up with a figure that was higher than I had been told I'd be paid.
Love the job. Love the platform. Love the people. Love the work. No VR and I am delirious.
Saw something similar last week (sm)
but it was a dog in one of those umbrella strollers. Seemed quite content actually. I gathered from the graying muzzle that walking probably would have worn her out before they got around the corner.
No...not per week/2 weeks.....
Per PAYPERIOD which is 15-16 days.
Part-time IC .. 6000 per payperiod.
I'm up to 5,000 lines per week.
Now I just wish it didn't take me all day to do it. I'm not sure how many days I actually worked this week, whether it was four or five, because all the days blend together into one now.
I only recently started using an expander, so I do spend some time each day adding to it.
Must this same old argument come up once a week? Sm
I have no possible way to cherrypick (and wouldn't if I did have a way, I detest that) as my work is manually assigned at the start of the day. I am a very high producer and do 2000+ lines in 3-4 hours. Always have.
It has to do with knowing your dictators (there are hundreds at the three hospitals I do) and using macros and expanders. That's all.
It's not as easy to do if you're not using free-standing Word or something, but for IC's working at home, yep, every day it's done.
Yes, last week they said only four more episodes
