"Holy c**p, Batman!"
Spitting into the wind...SM
I usually don't get involved in these threads, but I'll go ahead and give it a try for once:
You're trying to battle the Information Revolution, immediate business profiteering, AND the need to provide needed medical services in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.
It's NOT going to work any more than denying the Industrial Revolution (or the Agricultural or Iron Ages) did for those who tried then, and yes, plenty did--long dead now, names not recorded.
Sorry, but best advice is accept inevitable change and invest your time and energy in changing with it. These are fascinating and exciting times. Enjoy!
Holy toledo batman can this be true? I couldn't do it
Unless I want to totally ignore my family, housework and total sense of well being!
I only signed on part time because I get at least 4000 lines a week from a local employer. These are tapes with day sheets and you can pretty much pace yourself if you want to. No schedule with local. Sure I might have to work at night sometimes. It's 8:00 on a Saturday night right now, but I'll have all day tomorrow off. A WHOLE DAY! I'm finishing up because my kids have gone to the movies.
If I am "required" to do 4000 lines a week on top of my local (and I'm already getting tired of having to have a "scheduled online time" with the national, work available from them or not) I think my hubby and kids will just move out and leave me in my little "hole of an office." :)
I bragged and bragged nearly a year ago about how wonderful it was to work at home, but I'm rethinking.
Blowing nose, sniffing, hacking, spitting,,yuk!
I transcribed a doc and I swear he was sick all the time. Really gross.
Thanks, Katie! :-) nm
Katie
I'm not a Katie Couric fan. I'm not sure how she will do as the CBS anchor. I used to like Bob S. a lot but the last few years I feel he has been biased in his reporting. I don't care for Rosie or Star. I don't watch the view any more but I like Meredith. I think she'll fit in with Matt L., etc. at NBC. I think Elizabeth is the conservative one of the bunch so I would not be surprised to see her leave. She'd never get a word in with Rosie there anyway. IMHO
Katie, let me know...
Katie,
Let me know how the job offer goes. I'm interested in your upcoming training.
Thanks,
Gina
Poor Katie
i bet after hours of labor not being allowed to go to a hospital and with a sock or something stuffed in her mouth to keep her quiet, Mrs. Cruise might be ready to realize that her husband, no matter how rich and famous, is a total wackadoodle! If she had any sense she would go find a good divorce lawyer and get out of there.
Katie Couric
Do you think The Today Show will be as great in the fall with Katie gone? So much switching around with her going to CCS and Meredith leaving The View for Today.......I will probably try to watch The Today Show although Meredith annoys me slightly at times. Not a big deal, but it irritates me that every time she talks she has to slap the table. I've been tempted to count how many times she hits that table throughout the course of the show but I guess it hasn't bothered me enough to actually start counting, lol. I've heard Rosanne will be replacing her on The View and that Star Jones may be leaving as well. Then yesterday I heard that Elisabeth might be leaving too. I don't watch that show much anymore so not sure what is going on. Rosie will definitely shake things up a bit I'm sure.
Can't stand Katie Couric.........nm
Katie, some people are much more skilled than SM
others, some work harder than others, some work faster than others, some work longer than others.
First off, I do not because, I choose not to work a full 40-hour work week, week after week.
But by multiplying my own hourly earnings: It is very possible to make comfortably more than $50, even more than $60K/year as an employee of a national putting out good-quality work (even transcribing lots of ESLs!) IF:
You are fully skilled.
You are working on accounts you are nicely familiar with and have all your templates et cetera set up for.
The accounts do not run out of work (a biggie) so that you can get 8 hours of production within a reasonable workday (should not have to spend 12 hours a day married to the offce to get it).
You are paid somewhere in the upper 20ish percent of the rate range (note I didn't say have to have top pay).
You are either an exceptionally fast typist or use an Expander a great deal and take advantage of computer features.
You work hard.
You work smart and don't waste time where it doesn't count.
You have some talent for the work.
You WORK A FULL 40-HOUR WORK WEEK.
Reasons why some don't even approach that include:
Not fully skilled. Just think, for instance, of those who don't use an expander. And a skilled worker will produce many lines in the time it takes another to look up one term.
Not familiar with accounts.
Account frequently runs out of work--and MT accepts less income instead of walking.
Is a whizbang registered nurse/racecar driverccur et cetera, but lack talent for THIS work.
Doesn't work HARD and push for high productivity. Just working is not the same as working HARD (it is tiring).
Has enough work but doesn't put in a solid 8 hours of production per day (although might think so, maybe forgets to subtract time spent complaining here from the work day).
Katie, although average incomes have gone down significantly, a lot more people are making decent money than posts on this forum give any idea of. Those people don't spend a whole lot of time here, though. Guess why! Best wishes for your own good income.
Will miss Katie in the morning! I think she is great!! nm

I'd like to see me trying that sober -- can't image I would have enough coordination to do it
any length of time!
It is like night and day having an expander. I cannot image...sm
anyone not using one. You can make expansions for almost every phrase imaginable and cut your Keystrokes by at least half. Even whole paragraphs can be expanded for the docs who say the same thing all the time. You will get your money back on your investment in a month I'll bet.
I can image that once we train the VR reports by our expert
editing and corrections, the VR software will start producing more accurate reports. Unfortunately, when that time does arrive, there will not be a need for as many medical editors/transcriptionists as there are now. I suspect at that point we will be competing for MT jobs, and our rates will go even lower than they are now. I hate to paint a somber picture here, but this is what the hospitals have been striving to accomplish since the mid-1980s, when they decided to outsource the transcription to MTSOs to avoid paying hourly rates and benefits.
P.S. - Sharper Image also sells this same headphone for much more.sm
I should also mention that I recommended this headset to my team when I was supervising because the company-issued headsets were basically garbage. I had a lot of good reactions, but a few people didn't like "over-the-head" style because it smooshed their hair or it just wasn't the best one for them. Hearing is a very individual thing and what works for one might not work for another, but quite a few of my crew got these and most seemed to like them.
These Kensingtons fold for travel (a lot of people use them on airplanes), by the way, and you can use them with any other portable audio like a Walkman or iPod, so I think all my folks kept theirs even if they decided to use them for other things than transcribing due to the fact that it's so inexpensive.
Anyone have success in using a website to project a more professional image?

This board's image problem is the result of complaining MTs.
 --should become the new logo.
Sharper image has top of the line with massage control. It might be worth it
It's a great chair and I didn't want to get out of it.
