Its human nature to impose on other people whats right for yourself!

Even when its not asked for.  Maybe some people like to surround themselves with nonsense and chaos, where as I like peace and quiet!  I think people who like working with other people are either pretending or just plain crazy!

People generally don't talk about how happy they are on a regular basis. They tend to want to talk to others when something is bothering them, and focus more on the negative. So I guess it makes sense that you don't see a lot of posts that say "Ladeedah, how I love my job and what a stupendous day it is in the transcription world today!" The job is just a means to a happier life, not the definition of a happy life.

Personally, I feel honored that I am in this profession.  Not because of the money or the skill and intelligence that it requires, but primarily because it allows me to be home with my daughter instead of shipping her off to daycare every day for some stranger to screw up. That is why I will deal with the lack of raises, crappy dictators, periodic lack of work, mgmt that is too overworked to care, etc. To be with my baby all the time and still bring in a paycheck, however meager it may be.

I probably QA where you work..hmmmmm

or do you have their web site?

Thanks again!!

TV on for me. I can't do music though. Its usually the food channel or the news channel.  Volume  is where I can hear it but low. 

I am looking for this reference book that I used to use as an in-house Transcriptionist many mooons ago. I can't remember what it was but it wasn't Stedmans... I was thinking Drake, Tessier, or even HPI but I know it wasn't Stedmans.

Anyway, it would allow you to look up the word "needle" and then underneath have a huge listing of all of the different types... or you could look up "retractor" and it would list all the different kinds. It was INCREDIBLY thorough. I want to say it had a green cover but can't be positive.

Does anyone have any ideas? This book was so helpful in-house, I really want it to have at home too! Thanks!!

Im hungry already!!

I am just curious what everyone is having for lunch or dinner.  Need some ideas on what to cook.

Have a good Sunday afternoon.

is when there is a group e-mail about proofing work and the specific e-mail about proofing had 2 spelling errors....and the e-mail is a total of 3-4 sentences.  

I dunooooooooo.

I do believe we had the same PS and WFC... when you talk about dropped letters LOL.

I don't care if they aren't typists..they certainly get paid more than me and should be way more professional. I certainly wouldn't get a job as anything if I sent a resume like that. They are supposed to set an example.. they are our *bosses*.

Im getting a new foot pedal, I need a heavy duty one cause this last one is about to give way.

So what is a great buy? Any recommendations?

So.....Nuance bought Dictaphone or Dictaphone changed their name...?  What is the website for dictaphone....Nuance? 

Thanks!!!!!

you think the whole world is Disneyized. You think the male buck stands over the baby deer and protects it, on his wife's behalf. You think Simba's daddy looks for him when lost. Nature is nasty and completely insensitive to feelings. The law is survival of the fittest. Even daddy seals come in and slaughter babies when they find out a rival fathered them. But go on...dream on your pretty little dreams. I notice the only babies ever really championed for are the cute fuzzy ones...go cuddle a rattlesnake, why doncha!

oh and ps I was not original poster who put this controversy on the board, now was I?

I've just not had much luck with any service and the one I spoke about above was the worst.  That was early in my career and I felt like I was pretty close friends with the supervisor and then to be treated the way I was treated, really just hurt.  Ever since then, I've distanced myself in my work life.  Business is business.

I will say, though, that I am a loyal person.  If I'm treated fairly, I will give 110%.  I think that's what happening these days in the MT world.  MTs aren't getting treated very fair and there are just bad feelings everywhere.  You're constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.  If a job offer is too good to be true, then it probable is too good to be true.  And now everyone is playing cover your behind and making sure contracts cover everything.  I just think MTs need to play hardball like the big companies.  If you are working as an IC, you should have a ready made contract for whatever service you contract with.  Why should you be the only one signing rights away?

I've also had the opportunity to read the contract between a big service and one of their hospital clients.  The line rate that this particular service charged was mind boggling.  I don't feel bad about stealing accounts away from services like that.

They were all probably told that is why the work is over there and they have to fix our stuff, that way it boosts their egos. 

I still believe it is the other way around.  OH...our ignorant minds.
