illegal and every offense is worth 100.00. I don't eveistory think you have to go to court. I'd look into it! I heard of a guy who made thousands off receiving junk faxes. I don't have a fax machine anymore..

The faxes are all computer based. Efax is free to receive faxes to.

it's not all junk on tv. you just have to weed out the junk. some is very informative.
don't watch "fake tv" as in mysteries or situation comedy so ruling that out, there is plenty of good stuff left. always wanting to learn new stuff.
yeah me too...junk, junk, more junk. But...(sm)
tech guy setup SpamBayes on my computer so that they go into a junk mail file automatically. Hope this helps...it sure helped me...don't have to see them and no danger in opening in them.
squished faxes
 Hope this helps you - I have a brother fax machine and I hit the minus sign on my fax on the copy zoom button, so then when the person told me the fax came out squished, I hit the plus button and voila the pages went back to their normal function. Hope this helps you out. see if your machine has a copy zoom button and if it does hit the plus button on it.
Squished faxes...my problem or theirs??
I have one client I am faxing to that just recently started having problems with the faxes coming out "squished" at her end. Mostly from two-page documents, but one was also just one page.
Is this a problem I cause and therefore can fix somehow and if so....HOW...
or is this something at their end and how do I tell them how to fix it.
Sending and resending or then emailing is getting old....
thank you for any wise people out there that have a clue, cuz I sure do not

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. 
Junk shows.
Sad commentary, but they try to please the majority of viewers. Glad to hear I'm not the only one offended.
Junk e-mail
I get tons of junk e-mails, you know, the pass around type. I never read them. I don't have time and I have no reason to read them. I am trying to make a living! My sisters are the worst culprits! How can I get them to quit forwarding all their junk e-mails to me! One sister is always asking me "did you read the one about....." to which I respond, "No, I don't have time to read those things." She just never catches on. I don't want to be rude, but it's getting on my nerves! I know the simple answer would be to just aske them to quit but things are touchy between us and I don't want to antagonize and already less-than-perfect relationship with my sisters.
Thanks!
Don't get a Shark---it's junk. sm
I had one for about 3 months then it quit sucking altogether. I was livid. I paid $100 for it. I'm hard on vacs, too, with 2 dogs and 4 men in and out of the house and living by a cement mill. The one I have now is a Eureka EZ Kleen. My next one will be an Oreck I think.
I've tried junk in the trunk before!
Now that is one delicous cake!!!! My husband just loves it. He refers to it as the "honey bun" cake! 
I had one too!! a 1979 piece of junk.
And if that wasn't bad enough it was chocolate brown.
My blinker knob fell off and I had to shove a pair of tweezers in there to work the blinkers. I couldn't wear heels or they'd get wedged in the holes in the floor board and one tire had a big bubble in it.
I can't believe I even dared drive that thing.
Was a piece of junk..but my favorite.
It was a 1980 Chevette (or as we called it..the Shove It) lol. When I got it, it was already falling apart, but I didn't care, I was 17 and had wheels. It had NO power steering, NO power brakes, NO air, NO power at all. The seat was falling through the bottom, so when you drove, your body was tilted to the left. The horn didn't BEEP, it MOOed (not kidding). The speakers were blown so my brother wired a speaker through the front and sat it in the console...lol. Like I said it was piece of junk but was a lot of fun to drive around and I could fill it up with about $8.00. A few years later when I was working I bought a Geo Storm and I loved that car. It was actually a very nice car..but nothing tops the "Shove It."
The only thing left IS junk ESL-sm
Seems to me that newbies are getting trained on VR with many companies. VR gets the better dictators. Offshore is getting the simple stuff and other half of the better dictators because that's all they can handle. Experienced MTs are left with a trunk of JUNK on their systems and getting paid no more than the new grads and offshore MTs, and very few are offering us more for our skills, accuracy and ability to transcribe the more difficult accounts.
I've seen things change pretty drastically just in the few years I've been doing this work. I cannot land a decent cpl for IC anymore. I was landing better offers as a new grad than I am today with experience, and forget about landing a gravy account if you have experience. Just isn't happening! Bottom of the barrel crap is all I get with a bottom of the barrel paycheck to go along with it.  You have to work till your eyes bleed, your head's about to explode and fingers ache to make a fairly decent living, then people wonder why we are sometimes short on patience and PO'd all the time. That's exactly why! May as well be gum on a filthy shoe!
Ugh - 42 minutes of that boring junk.
Do they really think anybody is going to read all of that? Didn't any English teacher ever tell him the secret to good writing is LESS IS MORE??
How lazy not to be able to shorten it up to something brief yet complete. Shame on him. You poor thing.
Hoax junk mail
I finally stopped getting these disgusting e-mails. I e-mailed back with big red letters - "F.... you! This e-mail is forwarded to the FBI, Homeland Security, Interpol, and you are being traced as we speak." I never received another one again.
I have too much junk on my desk for a lamp LOL
i guess i need to make room!
check out the junk stores
like Salvation Army. I paid $40 for a few at Office Depot type store and then found a few for $1.99 at our alcoholism junk store. They are Dell and great, and when they wear out, don't feel bad about just trashing them.
How long do you think it will be until MQ throws everything on ASR even the junk to get the reduced
line rate. Should be interesting to see. I do think they are looking for a big exit also. There is no work in a lot of the offices especially Amherst and my understanding is the work will be delegated from a national office and not regional and they will put people on accounts that need work. Not sure what that means but maybe the days of having a main are coming to an end. Should be great for quality.
Aria Platform - anyone use this piece of junk?
We're transitioning to an EMR platform called Aria with a god-awful transcription section that is a step backward from the typewriter. It's largely mouse-dependent, slow (it's through their VPN so there's often a lag on the text) and it doesn't recognize a lot of the hot keys I've utilized in Word for years. It takes me half again as long to get through a report. I'm usually busy at least 8 hours a day as it is using Word with most of the people I type - it would take me 12 hours if everyone were on this system right now.
They've also changed to a "per dictated minute" rate of pay from 65 cpl w/spaces. It's a generous per-minute rate compared to most places I've worked, and they've stated they don't want anyone losing any money in the transition, but it would take a pretty steep increase in this rate to match what I was making previously.
I'm seriously considering changing jobs, although these guys have been wonderful to work with. Does anyone out there have any experience with this platform or any tips, websites, etc., that have information on utilizing this POS to its fullest? Hate to jump ship prematurely - I know what's out there and it ain't purty! 
Did you check your junk mail or spam folder? Sometimes they in there
Good advice...Iams is junk food anymore....
It used to be good, but it's gone by way of most of the rest of them... Anything that can be purchased in a grocery store is garbage. I recommend Wellness, Innova, or California Natural. Only pet stores stock premium dog foods. However, Labs and GAS seem to go hand in hand, having owned 2 of them. Rice and some boiled chicken mixed with a good healthy kibble might help.
Only by the mounds of junk mail every day...cc apps, advertising circulars, etc. nm

I carry my mail in, sort it immediately, and put the junk in the trash.
c
Right away it looked to me like the kind of junk that spreads in email. Good eye. nm

The junk faxers aren't leaving correct info so you can track them down.

Escription users: I have a question. I've about had it with Dell junk computers.
and their Indian call centers..nothing like getting help from someone whom you cant understand. Even if they hear you, they have NO comprehension skills. Anyway, I have like 3 Dell computers which goes from bad to worse. For Christmas, I got my husband an Mac IBook ...wow..what a difference, now that's a computer. Anyhoo, they now have Microsoft office programs for Macs..anyone know if this computer would be compatible at all with the Escription platform since it's so picky. If not, any laptop computers suggestions that are not a piece of junk.
Yep, when I drink green tea instead of eating junk foods, or if I drink it while I'm exercising,

If a company doesn't pay, is there anything that can be done to collect?
Trouble again
you CAN collect part-time unemployment. i did it before but not with MT. sm
I was considered full time employee and my hours were cut to part time. i was told to file by others in the company and didn't realize i could. i did file and i did get the part-time unemployment but then got laid off from company too after i filed. so it was a catch-22 scenario. but then because i was laid off, i then qualified through a local program we had to recruit those unemployed back into the work force and that is how i got my MT degree for free. didn't even have to buy pen and paper. i even got childcare while going to school.
Because it is hard work to collect and once you know a company is a bad debt,
Got to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. She already lost on doing the work. Now she loses doing the collection work.
That's a Shame, Becka, I hope you can eventually collect your pay! (EOM)

Money, money, money, mmonnneyyy. Singing the Apprentice song.
:+
Thanks for the tip!! I have to ask, are those your pigs??? I just LOVE pigs and collect them all t
Make money? I'm not making any money because of my decision. You read my reasoning
You can agree with me or not, but don't make false assumptions please.
You're working to make money, not to spend money.
These people should be ashamed of themselves taking advantage of people this way!
I also blew some money signing up with Quixtar... The only way to make any money is to bug everyone
you know into signing up. I felt like a snake oil huckster. I hated it. I was flushing money down the toilet from the moment I handed over my money.
RUN, do not walk away! I do an entirely different side business now that I really love (in addition to my MTing, which I also love!) Find something you're good at and that you truly love doing. Then make a business out of it. That's the best way to have a side business. Selling discount toilet paper through Amway/Quixtar? Not so much.
The CMT exam is overrated. Don't waste your time & money. Use that money on
paid anymore just because you have it. There are a few CMT cheerleaders that post to people like you but they are pretty well sucked up into that association.
Yeah, money, that's it. I paid $20.00 for my dog. Money is NOT THE ISSUE
walk him daily, play ball daily, he sleeps in my office daily while I work. Yeah, I got a lot of money, NOT HARDLY. And, my dog is HORRIBLY HORRIBLY ABUSED because he wears a collar around his neck. It's people like you that make me sick. I am done defending my use of the shock collar. I am going to continue with it and my dog will continue to be pampered , educated, fed, kept warm, and love me for everything that I do for him even when I remind him that his barking needs to stop. So, with that said, I will not respond to any more of your CRAP in reference to the shock collar.
Money is money and most people will do whatever it takes when in need. sm
if you do bring it to the attn of the office manager, why not offer her a raise to compensate. it is obvious she just needs or wants more money than your office is paying her. I agree, it is a free country and although it seems odd, unless you had it outlined in contract, she can work for whomever or whereever she pleases on the side. at least she is typing and not at a strip joint, lol. I see no conflict of interest, she has experience obviously in whichever field you are in and what is wrong with doing extra in that field. i agree with MYOB "nicely" and concentrate on your reports than looking at older reports and seeing who they are typed by.
No need to wonder..It always means less money for the MT and more money for MQ.

Money, honey, money!!!!!!.

One year and you make decent money? What is decent money to you?

Here's how to get your money....sm
Do an internet search for the small claims court that she would need to report to. Typically this would be either the city or county her business is in or she lives in if she doesn't have an official business name.
File the claim and in the claim be sure to include that you're seeking the costs of travel to court if she fails to pay up ahead of time, as well as the time off from your current job. You can even give rough estimates for the plane fare, hotel, rental car and time off from work.
Generally speaking most small claims court cases are heard within 30-60 days. All you'll need is to take the judge proof of the work you did, money she owes and that she flat out refuses to pay.
Once you win the case (and you will if you can prove you did the work and she agreed to pay you) then immediately file a lien against her home or business - that will quickly get her attention that she needs to pay you, because if she doesn't pay up quickly then she risks losing her home or business to you. You can do all of this without collection attorneys or any attorney - this type of thing is generally handled by individuals since the dollar amount isn't high enough for an attorney to be interested.
I had one friend who recently won a small claims court case against a car dealership over a faulty engine that was sold to him and the owner refused to pay him until he placed the lien against the business.... and of course the owner realized he wasn't playing games any longer and had the cash ready that afternoon (I told my friend to place the lien and insist on cash only, no cashier's checks, no checks, etc - cold hard cash!).
Good luck!
Less money
Also don't forget that some accounts are not paid for spaces which is a substantial loss in lines.
The money is going to...
The DOCTORS! I googled "radiologist salary" and WOW. Average salary for a radiologist is $500,000 - and that's just average. OMG. Boy am I in the wrong field!
Oh, and money would have gotten more
of those refugees out before the storm hit. They were too poor and had no transportation -- that was why they were left behind.
Money IS important before, during, and after disasters.
less money with MQ
i hear ya on that. I was making between $16-20/hour. there are some days i do good to hit the $10 mark with the lovely foreign dictators.
Here's how to get your money....sm
Send her a certified/return receipt letter giving her 7 business days to get the money to you via a cashier's check or you will file a claim against her in small claims court. You don't need an attorney to do this - just contact the city or county courthouse in the town/county the business is located and file a complaint. Be sure to ask that the filing fees as well as time off from work and travel expenses to be reimbursed if you have to show up to small claims court. Most of these cases are heard in 30-60 days. Good luck!
No money down
My husband and I both had very low scores, but the mortgage company searched and got us a 6% interest rate on the house we wanted, no money down, and we even got money at close. There are ways. A good mortgage company will work for you! Our scores were less than 600.
Here's how to get your money ....sm
file a claim against them in small claims court - in most jurisdictions these cases are heard within 30-60 days. When you win (and you will as long as you can prove the money is owed) immediately file a lien against the business - this will keep them from obtaining any bank loans and you could potentially force them to sell the business to pay you off.
I personally would never work for anyone who missed a pay day with me - I have a rule that if you screw me once that's it - no more chance to mess with me again. There are way too many transcription jobs out there .
As far as notifying the clients most clients probably aren't going to care and will consider it a personnel issue with the vendor.
what does he does with his money
maybe he doesn't wear his generosity on his sleeve and keeps his donations and causes private.
