you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
Maybe they will. Give it time. It takes time to set up links.
OSI, Precyse, etc tell us more.
Give it time...
It just means your family is doing what it should - evolving and growing - plus more MEEEE time!
Give yourself some time.
I don't know if MT schools tell their students but it will take a couple years to get going with this. If you're researching, looking things up and using your spellchecker, you're doing everything right. You just need to give yourself some time to get it. Soon you'll retain more, look up less and get your line count up where you want it to be.
After 20+ years, I still have to do research. That's one thing about this profession, it changes daily. Sometimes it's very frustrating, but keep in mind the benefits of staying home and what you're not having to pay for and you might be less hard on yourself.
I love IT. Give yourself some time and
use the marker keys. You'll need to just slow down a bit at first, but the reward is awesome. I went from 45ish% productivity gain to low 60s. You really need to give it a good month with so many new things - marker keys, moving eyes, etc. I truly believe it's worth the money in the end. So slow down just a bit, the reward will be more lines for you. Also, visit the productivity talk forum. You'll find many great tips to help with shortcuts and commands, and the people there are wonderful when it comes to answering questions.
Do you have extra time to give away? For us

I agree. Give yourself time
to learn their accents, the way they word things.... ask QA to give you feedback, if they are not, and report back on words or phrases that you didn't get. Hang in there. I'd give it 2 weeks and you will be done leaving blanks. Good luck with the new account.
I say you need to give it a shot full-time.
That's the only way you will get quicker and more accurate. You need experience. The more you do it, the easier it will come. Good luck.
Give them the benefit of the doubt the first time.

Thanks for the responses. I'll give it more time.

give it some time and distance for their grief to subside a bit
then when things are calmed down, I'd have your hubby mention that it was very important to your son & I think she'd probably give it back in a heart beat. I agree with how valuable it is for your son, but he has the visual and heart felt memories he will cherish forever.
I lost a child 25 yrs ago, problems & issues that came up during that immediate time compounded issues with my little sister and it took 23 yrs and the death of our dad to finally put it all to rest and reunite and heal. I can never get back those 23 yrs I wasted not having my lil sis in my life because of my stubborness, it's just not worth it.
give it time, dust is settling, they just have no place else to gripe yet. nm

I spend a good deal of time tweaking the ones in there so ummm, may give it a shot lol

chuckle
I used to laugh and think people were wackos until it happened to me while working in a bank. One other time was five years after my father died. I never cried but missed horribly. I was his "little girl." Five years later marriage was in the toilet and I awoke one night and saw him at the foot of my bed, never said a word, but I went back to sleep. I felt so much better in the morning, but I think that was because I was in such despair and needed him so much that I wanted to see him.
had to chuckle!
When I read your post, I had to chuckle because even though I do visit this site and I'm pro-AAMT, I'm in the minority. I think that the reason why you see so much AAMT bashing is because most of the people on these kinds of sites do tend to complain about this, that, and everything with regards to this profession. In other words, I don't see a whole lot of positive about anything! I think the movers and shakers are out there doing their thing, trying to make a DIFFERENCE, and not wasting time posting on chat boards and thus why you don't see a lot of people jumping to defend AAMT here. Again, just my humble opinion from an old MT.
Thanks--got a chuckle about this--
7-year meeting, huh? 
Needed a laugh, too. I just went by to drop off/pick up work, 10-12 miles one way, and the office is closed. OM told me someone would be there until noon, even though they are closed on Fri afternoons! Received no notice they were closing early today. To clarify, I did work there as an employee until November 30 and been at home since then. I guess I am a pushover--I've always tried to be cooperative and "nice" until I have a reason not to be. Also, I don't have any other options right now. However, I am going to present a short contract--I don't have any hope that it will be received very well, but I should stand up for myself, especially in the light of today's inconvenience. Appreciate it--
Thanks for the chuckle!
You have no idea how funny that was to me. THANKS.
I hear people really tormented about trying to get down the impossible. You are exactly right.
:Blood out of turnip" is priceless!
Now back to the mind-nunbing ....
LOL! That was cute. Thanks for the chuckle.
ROFL! Thanks for the chuckle.
I needed it today.
Thanks to all... I did manage a chuckle or two
from your stories. But why does it have to be like this? Just because we work at home? I think I will go on strike. Just keep my office clean since that is the only place I get to be these days. I have a reprieve from my second job tonight so I think I will just close my eyes, close my ears and shut off all other senses to the slobs I live with and leave for night for my women's group party I did not plan to go to. Thank to all.
Re: Zero Samantha...I know, I got a chuckle out of that too..I must
be more boring than I thought!!
That episode was a hoot! I loved it when she used the uh...new neck massager...in Brady's vibrating chair after it broke when she went to watch him while Miranda got her hair done...LOL!!
It did make me chuckle, though! nm

Chuckle, okay, now thanks for the support!
These posts are scary, are they not? I am now disinterested in this line of posts as there is nothing productive going on...just more complaints and whining about how awful MTs are and how high and mighty many QA people think they are.
Enjoy the air up there...and remember to have pity on us low-lifes once in a while because we are just too inane to know anything other than what you would tell us...
Dictation chuckle
"Her vision is poor. That is why she does not see well." Really! That's what he said!
These are making me chuckle
I had a PA who would give us his name (he was Iranian), spell it, give his name and spell it again and then go on to the patient's name. He'd spell that and give it to us three times. Then he's give us the medical record number. Something like this: "MR # 123456. That's 123456. Again, that's 123456." His dictations were office notes - for the other PAs those ran in the 3 minute range. His were 7 or more because he repeated everything at least twice and sometimes three times. We weren't sad when he left the practice to go work for the university teaching hospital.
Thanks for sharing that...chuckle, I loved it
I needed (another) good laugh...this is great!
I should just shut off the Expander when not working, but sometimes I forget...
thank you for accepting that we all make mistakes!
I really enjoyed this...
more than a chuckle, a real smile -
I've been smiling for half an hour now (since you said it was just a line and not an insult). Thanks and have a good day.
this sentence by an ESL made me chuckle...
The patient is 69-years-old and has 6 children so far.
(so far!!)
This article was worth a chuckle
First laugh, GREAT side jobs. Mor sobering: Avg. 13.78 per hour. Sad: Pays less than a dog walker. Arghhh!

gross (no message) did make me chuckle

When I opened your message to read it, I saw something that made me chuckle. SM
At the top of the page, there was an ad defining Alzheimer's disease (with an apostrophe) from alzheimersconcern.com. We're probably the only one's following this new guideline. I wonder how many people read these apostropheless terms we are now mandated to transcribe and actually do think we're nuts. Even if it is correct, and I do understand the reasoning behind leaving the apostrophe off, it still doesn't help our image any, at least in my opinion. Just a thought.
Got my chuckle for the night, doc talking about breath sounds - sm
and how the lungs were clear, etc. then the next sentence is "the patient is currently not breathing", just funny after the previous sentences on his lung sounds. Also diagnosed at age 2, however the child is only 14 months old, hmmm, nice trick there! Presume he means 2-months but will have to question it though since he did not say!
Funny! Thanks for the chuckle! I was like, "Whoa, poor thing, started young"!!
You scared me!!!
oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.
there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to
do what is right. If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child. "you suck" That is so immature.
She is responding to you and you are eating her alive. Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it.
I am really astonished at how people can act on here. Would you treat people like this in person? If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends.
Remember we are all "HUMAN."
Your error made me chuckle, which is, ya know, fitting for the error. Not a big deal, and no we ALL
make mistakes! Heavens! I remember starting out, I actually typed CABBAGE! Can you imagine? Scary thing, though, is when you get an MT out 10 years and they type cabbage. There are errors like yours, and there are major-absolutely-no-clue-of-our profession errors, which are mind boggling when you see them in print. I've been on both sides, typing and proofing, and I never dreamed of the quantity and quality of errors some MTs make - HUGE errors. That said, yes, we all make them, but its the ones who are unlearned and then arrogant when you point out the error - we have to, ya know, and its done kindly, so that they learn, and still that type of MT flips out and has a hissy! No win situation for both parties, really, as the MT really can't grow in the field if they aren't accountable to themselves even for their work. I can't give more specific examples, as I could potentially hurt some MTs who would recognize their errors, but I assure you, some are unbelievable.
A simple google search will give you your answer...I'd give you the answer,
but how would that help you learn to research on your own...and I'm in a rush to get to the next post.

Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
Yeah, our choc. lab does that from time to time - makes it interesting!- nm

Cannot legally require you to commit time to them as an employee and then not pay you for that time.

full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...
newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)
I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.
There is a new classification called part time.
I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

its a waste of time yet you take the time to respond?
