supervisor threatening them to hire more MTs if the accounts arent kept in TAT and they are sitting there with no work. I think MQ must be so desperate anymore that they are losing their minds. They must work for Amherst also. They keep hiring and hiring and if the weekend has one report out of TAT they hire more people. These companies are losing it I am afraid. I wonder if MQ is losing more accounts that they are doing this.

What other site are you talking about?? nm

OMG at first I thought I had the wrong site. I couldn't believe that's what you were talking
Do you get cramps at all from holding it? The reason I ask is because I used to from holding game controllers. Are you basically using the same fingers to keys as with a conventional keyboard? I bet that felt odd the first time you held it! Thanks for sharing. I'll definitely look into for the mouse benefit alone. Reaching for the mouse KILLS my shoulder.
Thanks again!
Well, we're talking about America, NOT globalization. And, this site is all American.

I am sure that emails to clients and emails to IC --sm
transcriptionists rank in two different categories. Emails to transcriptionists are probably much more frequent, the supervisors have alot more work to do than sending emails and are in a hurry. Perhaps concentrating on your own work instead of typos in an email would be more productive. which is more important?? geez. give others a break.
Wait a minute, I'm not just talking about the boards, I'm talking about the news article.
Specifically,
"JLG has a contract with Arrendale Associates/ A+Network/CBay Scribe, which the group says is in India.
A letter from JLG to Barbara Dingman, chief compliance officer and director of health information management, says all medical transcriptionists assigned to the Medical Center Hospital account live in the U.S. and all work is done in America."
But yet they do business with Arrendale/A+/CBay, what am I missing here?
I'm talking about MT school, not K-12, which is where I learned most of what you are talking abou
My clients DO NOT LIKE IT when I correct their wrong crap - did you actually read what I said?
I'm not talking about ignorant as in grammar or spelling. I'm talking about sm
ignorant in general.
I don't get why you are getting these emails. sm
Do you give your email out? Do you buy stuff online? Do you have a firewall and a pop up blocker, etc.
I have an email address that very few people know through my ISP which is heavily protected. It rejects most attachments and even wouldn't let me open some pictures that my sister tried to send me.
I also have a Yahoo email that I barely ever use. If I do order something online, which is very rare, I give the company my Yahoo email address and then I will go there to check the status of my order.
I did this because I learned the hard way though. When I worked inhouse a few years back, the medication Levitra had just arrived on the market. I was transcribing, had no idea what it was and I Googled it. The hospital I worked at had no firewall protection, etc. and I got more emails than I can count on how to "enhance my male sexuality." It was so annoying!! I was a grandmother of 2 at the time.
Get a new email address, give it only to those that you want to hear from. Do not open attachments even if they are from your best friend, and dump the old address.
Yes, I kept all the emails....
Out of curiosity, on what grounds would an MTSO have to justify contacting any of my previous employers/MTSOs? I've been MTing at home for many years and I had no idea an MTSO would or could call other MTSOs and say things that are untrue.
I had thought about a lawsuit, but I'm afraid of her!
No, she is not at Seascript.
Emails
Yes, we started receiving emails of this nature addressed from our own email addresses before Christmas. I called my internet company and started sending them to their abuse address. I also started checking my mail through their port instead of my own email program for a while, still do X days a week. Also, they told me to run a good virus/spyware/malware program to see if I had a virus. I run McAfee, Spyblaster and downloaded Ad-aware. Spybot is a good program if it doesn't interfere with your virus program, it does with McAfee. Check out KimKomando.com. She talks about many free programs for different issues. Some information you can access, other you have to be a member. This mail has stopped for me.
Blank emails-me, too
I have always used Spybot and Adware SE, but read they sometimes miss things, so I just bought NoAdWare. Was I surprized at the stuff it found compared to the other ones (including Norton AntiVirus, and my server software)! I had 4 "dangerous" and 92 "severe" the very first day...that have been on my system for quite a while.
Since then, I have also been receiving blank emails. I'm now up to 5 every time I receive my mail. I've been getting a lot of junk mail all of a sudden and have no idea why. My favorites are winning the lotteries. If I believed them, I would have a bankroll of well over $100,000,000,000. The other ones where I am named in someone's will. Love it. Dream on. 
Don't know what to say or what else to do about it without changing my email addess again, and I sure don't feel like doing that. I just did change it 3 months ago.
Generally no emails
As an IC at a small MTSO, if there is very low workloads, there is usually no email. I thought this was strange myself, since if it was my company, I would be keeping my people closely updated and thinking about them and their needs and anticipating their questions and concerns. I would have to take the initiative to email asking "is there anything wrong?" or "is something the matter with such-and-such account?" or "is there a technical problem somewhere?" I would then get an email answering my question. I think it is impolite and unprofessional for a business not to keep their people closely posted and put them first.
PS - the other emails are horrendous

stupid emails!
Does anybody know how to keep these ridiculous emails from coming? It seems like every day I'm getting more and more of them, you know, the ones that have absolute nonsense in the subject line? I don't read them, just delete them, but I must get 15 or 20 a day and I'm sick and tired of it. I feel like my privacy is being invaded, and it is just junk filling up my mailbox.
stupid emails
Okay then, again, thanks very much for your help. I am going to check this out because at this point I'll try anything to stop the insanity! It's just crazy the stupid, stupid stuff people send via email to clog up the mailboxes. I wonder, does anybody even READ this junk? And better yet, does anybody ever BUY stuff from this spam email? Sorry, I just get carried away with this subject; it's a true thorn in my side. Again, I thank you.
Yes, they can read the emails. nm

Maybe the *other* board is where the emails came from : )

Saving sent emails,,sm
saving sent emails may sound like a good idea, but that is taking up storage space in the email box. I don't know how much quota your email service provides, but mine is not that much, and I have business class. Your sent box is counted as part of your quota, as well, so it would not be advisable to store a months worth of sent emails, particularly with attached files. perhaps she should look into using an FTP site where you could store the files in My Documents and then just send via ftp, which is a whole lot faster than email and it is encrypted for transfer. suggest it to her. and then start charging her for time spent resending files. That is her job, not yours. my boss occasionally will ask for an individual file to be resent, but never a whole months worth. maybe you should also start looking for different employment. I could not work for someone who got mad at me for something she did. sorry. JMO.
She stated they were using them in emails,

lewd emails
Yes, I got a bunch of those. It came from a site that was sending me emails on panic disordewhich was totally unrelated to such things. The person who operated the panic attack site was very apologetic, she had been victimized by the viagra peddlers and unwittingly passed it on to her subscribers. My computer did not get the virus and I set spam filters to reject anything with Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and now the problem is almost gone. They do go in spam folder on AOL and I look there occasionally to be sure that some of my good email hasn't been accidently put there. Looking at the subject lines sometimes makes me laugh. these sex pill vendors are either semi literate and/or foreigners.
Check your emails! nm

Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.
It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.
We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.
It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
emails for action plan
and now they send out emails wanting to know our action plan for wkends, whether we are working, so they are cvd. no extra $$, just remind you to "get the lines while you can"
Your emails don't make sense
There are scam emails that claim to come from
Gotta be careful.
I tried that out once...WAY too many emails...DROVE ME NUTS!!!

I just use Outlook Express, so my emails - sm
our stored on my computer (40GB), so in my case it is not an issue. If the OP sends her emails the same, then she can easily save the work emails unless she has a very old computer with no substantial hard drive.
keep track of emails; keep producing; it's all you can do.

the grand total is 3 so far from the emails I am receiving....thanks everyone - nm

I am a supervisor and trust me you don't just send emails and
take it easy. There is a lot of responsibility to it and it is a stressful job.
Your email address is invisible to anyone who emails you
through the MTStars website. If you, however, reply, then the receiver would be able to see your email address.
Often it is the clerk who types up and sends emails. nm

My group gets encouraging emails and thank you notes
I guess I'm mature enough to read it and if it does not apply to me, ignore it the language in it and use the intent to make sure I am cautious.
How do you download multiple attachments to emails?
I just started with a company who sends their voice files via attachments to an email. Is their an email (yahoo, aim, aol, msn.....) that will allow you to download all attachments at once instead of 1 at a time? Thanks Karen
I haven't noticed emails being posted
I know someone can email you, but I don't think it is listed so that they can see? I don't quite understand your post either. You are trying to dig up information on your neighbors on this site? My brain must be tired today, because I don't get it.
How sad that no one called U. Think you can get news alert emails
s
You would have to leave the emails on the server and dl them to both computers.
thats easy.
My x-rated emails were innocent on my part
I am larger size lady and went on the internet looking for plus size clothing sites. Well, the internet had a mind of its own and went to plus size ladies. I got all kind of stuff sent to me. Hey, I am a married lady and only looking for clothing, not a date.
You need to start the EMAILS starting a few days sm
prior to ending pay period and keep it up daily until you get a reply it is mailed. Don't sit and wait, the pattern is established and then start looking around for a new job. They EXPECT Turn Around Time from you, sooooo what do they give
That is such Cra_.
I have noticed sometimes I will try to get into a web site and that site will freeze up and I dont
know if I have too many screens opened up and minimized or what. I tried to open a website sent by email and froze up the email screen. Not sure what I am doing.
Just send emails to your team and take it easy... you really thing that is what

I can sense the stress and impatience in company emails.
The snappy tone, shortness, and rudeness. Excuse me for bothering you, honey, but it's your job.
Anyone know anything about getting paid to do online surveys? I've been getting these emails to
sign up to do surveys and get paid for it. Does anyone know if this is legit, or who does this? I'd like to try it. I didn't follow through far enough to see if there's a fee to sign up with this company or not.
That might explain why I just received a batch of emails from yesterday.

Has anyeone else had a problem receiving x-rated emails? sm
It started a few weeks ago, and they come in with the name on the email as my husband's name, but it's my own email address. They are usually lewd subject lines, talking about male size, and crap like that. I accidently opened one and they all have to do with drugs like Viagra and Cialis. They had a website to link to to get off their emailing list, but I can tell that they have somehow just glommed onto my system.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is it a virus or something? Any ideas on how to get rid of it? It's not like I can block my own email address or my husband's from coming into my email box, which is exactly how they're sending them, like they're coming from myself!
Any ideas, please? I've been deleting something like 25 emails a day from these, and I'm getting ill just having to read the subject line that pops in with each one.
Many thanks, in advance, if anyone has any info on this scam.
Oops put my email in the wrong spot..oh well. No flaming emails please LOL.

You can only have one Outlook Express open and downloading emails at a time. If have both the SM
laptop and the PC trying to download email for the same address, you are going to have one downloading some and the other downloading whatever comes in after the first computer downloads, make sense? That's why you are only getting part of your email on one and part on the other. You have two different machines trying to download the same emails.
If you set both Outlook Express programs set up the exact same way on each computer, then both will work, but not at the same time.
Hope that makes sense.
I'm so sick of broad emails addressing specific problems. sm
My national is notorious for sending out a sweeping email to everybody in the company when there is a specific problem with a specific client, done only by specific MTs. The same MTs keep making the same erros, upsetting the same client, but instead of contacting the offending MTs directly, they just send out a forwarded email to absolutely everyone.
Here's a hint: The MTs making the same mistake over and over and over again AREN'T GETTING THE MESSAGE. They don't think it's them! Pick up the phone, or send a private email citing the specific chart/file and the erorr! Problem solved! The lack of personal attention we're given is sad. No wonder we keep losing clients, they're probably given the same impersonal service. The past 6 months have been the worst, but I am couting the days until the worst supervisor I have ever had finally leaves this joint. 2 days and counting!!!!!
I love it too! I have my emails from work make a ringing tone
and pop up on my desktop,much like Yahoo messenger or IM. It's great. Never miss an email and can respond right away.
save the emails and send them back when the corrections are inconsistent.
