She allowed a person who lived in her house, an 18-year-old
to go to Aruba. My rules when you live in my house no matter how old you are, visitor or family.
Mrs. Twitty is backing down from her behavior as is her attorney and the Aruban people are demanding it. Spouting out of control emotionally is not helping her cause nor gathering sympathy for her plight. She created this madness even to the point of offending the Aruban people.
Would definitely capitalize "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" However,
happy holiday season is nondescript and would put in small case.
Happy New Year everyone! I'll be out of town over the weekend. If you have any

I bought a new one from Dell almost a year ago and talked with the CS person. She told me the
models they still had available with XP. If you buy a new one though with Vista you can always remove it and reload with XP.
is this the person who makes 1 cent a line extra for $6000 a year?
how many lines a day and what do you normally make in a year because to reach an extra $6000 wouldn't you have to be typing way above average which is say 1200 a day for most of us, or 6000 lines a week.
encouraging someone to get their CMT based on $6000 a year extra, perhaps you could give more details because I have never worked for a company who would do that, not unless perhaps you were also a huge producer of lines.
Thank you...
Agree it's the dictator's report and the dictator's call. NM

I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is
if that is all they WANT to type. Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?
You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones. Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between.
Don't cap happy holiday season. Cap the others and Happy Holidays alone. nm

When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.
The person MTSO pays is the person who

Mine are in year-round thank goodness! They've started their new year 2 months ago.

Union diesil mechanic - good pay, great benefits. We swap year to year on who brings home more sm
money.....but I am an IC and he has all the benefits...health insurance/dental that the company pays for, pension plan, 401k, etc. Factor all of that in and he makes way more than I do.

I did bad, bad, bad!! Need a dictator! Lol nm

I have one dictator who does that...sm
He's from either Britain or South Africa and he always clearly says *the patient is alert and orientated* and I give him *orientated*! It is a verbatim account! He speaks the true King's English, so if he says *orientated* (and he does ALL the time say that word) it's what I'm giving him. *lol*
And this is the dictator you get from the
that is MT friendly! Yeah right! I'll apply to the company that states "dictators are MT friendly! Been there done that, but I got a chuckle from your post!  Thanks for sharing! 
ESL dictator
LOL!, LOL!. LOL!!!!!!
Dictator......
Okay, I spoke with a girlfriend in south Texas who said they are seeing many ESL dictators refusing to speak English to dictate, demanding a bilingual Transcriptionist be found. There is a HUGE number of illegals in the areas and she says he gets their business and doesn't care...he is one that is outspoken out no border control and letting all illegals come and go as they please, so that speaks volumes there. Don't know about this guy though, but in a country where there is civility among its peoples, yes, you do need to speak one language to one another and in this country, that is English. If he wants to speak only Spanish, then let him go south of the border and he can dictate in Spanish all he wants.
Ask dictator
I ask the dictator and so far I have always been told they expect me to fix the report, that is not their specialty. It is harder to determine if you can't speak directly to the dictator though. I would never change it unless I had the dictators permission.
I have a new non-M.D. dictator, ESL who always
gives the diagnosis of high blood pressure as hypertensions, has to have that S on the end.
Nothing this year. We ALWAYS got a cool surprise in the past, but this year nothing. :-( nm

After I went to a 1-year MT course at a vocational school, it was so bad that I did the 2-year colle
Not only did I finally receive the proper training, but the woman on the advisory board hired and mentored me. I also joined the local AAMT and networked. Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be. A community college will have a good program to include medical language, MT courses taught by local MTSOs, business English, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, etc.
One person's "custom" is another person's
"house arrest". I'd never go to the Middle East because of how they treat women. I don't agree with their laws or "justice" system. For example, the woman who was gang raped as punishment for the actions of her 12-year-old brother, a boy who wasn't even an adult. How's that for a "custom"? Let's not forget bride burning. Burqas.
Besides, foreigners don't follow our "customs" when they come to this country. Half of them don't even bother learning English. Instead, we're expected to pay for healthcare and foodstamps for illegals and print everything in Spanish.
I won't be oppressed or treated as a second class citizen, and I wouldn't treat others like that either. A "custom" is more like putting up a Christmas tree, not being abused based on your gender.
i'm sure it will vary from person to person.
I recently did the same thing and am loving it! The freedom from time clocks, the better company, make losing the benefits well worth it to me. You need to set up a plan to have $ set aside for taxes though. I should have done this years ago!
Wrong person. I'm not the person you were
any money. You have a sucky attitude, a "poor me" attitude. Get off your lazy whiny a$$ and work instead of complaining and you will make money. I have one account at 10.5 cpl, two at 14 cpl and one at 15 cpl. I make a lot of money, even on the 10.5 cpl. But I'm not sitting around whining either. And I didn't whine when I made $6 an hour.
annoying dictator
Here's a good one; 7-1/2 minute dictation, first minute put on hold, then dictator dictates for two minutes, then says, Never Mind, Lets start this ALL OVER . And they wonder why we are tense 
Annoying dictator
If you are being paid by the line, I sure would dispute this! They have no idea, do they?
no you aren't...he's a bad dictator

If your dictator says DCD for discontinued
i want to put discontinued what would you put
Yup - 3 to 4K, depending on the day and the dictator. NM.....
dictator type
This may be unusual, but I have more problems with southern accents than with Asians! African-American and New Orleans patois also confound me. I find British and Australian accents delightful.
I really appreciated my dictator just now.
At the end he said, "This is <his name> bumbling through this again. Thank you so very much."
Guess it makes me at least feel a little appreciated.
Dictator said DOB 1926, but then said...
59-year-old male - Should I correct this? TIA!
My present dictator
She underwent the above procedures without difficulty. period. ummm period. She ummm period. She ummm
 I think its time for a break already
Depends on the dictator....
Sometimes it is faster to type every word continuously, unless there's a difficult dictator, then you have no choice but to listen, stop, type, backup, listen again, backup, listen again....ya know?
Almost always the first except if a difficult dictator. (sm)
Then I am constantly listening again to make sure I have it correct.
Mean-spirited dictator... (sm)
This is probably something that shouldn't bug me, but for some reason, it really has for a few days now...
I work for one of the big nationals and had one of the dictators make a pretty nasty comment at the end of one of his notes. It was nothing profane or even specific--just a really sarcastic comment about what a "great" job we do. In fact, what made the comment bad was his tone, not even the words that were said.
I know that his comment wasn't directed personally at me, and that the anonymity that we feel working from home works the same way on their end, as well and makes it easy to be rude. However, this has really stuck with me and kind of depressed me for the last few days. Anyone else have something like this happen to them? I'm trying to just have a thick skin, but it's still bothering me.
Is a good dictator now? I bet he is. He knows what you go through. nm

because when the dictator's provide the
proper demographics and enunciate clearly, I LOVE this work. I do not do it for the $ or for the bennies. I am 60 years old and don't need either. I just love transcription work. I doubt, though, that you can understand this.
H&Ps dictated by a very thorough dictator. nm
