The grass may not be greener. sm
The package you were sold might not be as good as you think. I hate to say that, but it's true. You might want to move slowly and not quit outright, although that can be hard to do. Then again, if you're sure, just jump ship. If they're low on work they'll secretly be singing your praises!
grass is always greener
I was with someone straight from moving out of my parent's home for a long time, he had a kid, we both worked, I made all the meals and took care of them. I longed for my own apartment, my own stuff, a nice, clean, nonsmelly bathroom, without stubble in the sink, and just wanted to be quiet and not have to answer to anyone. Well...I got it! Now five years later..its gotten old. I'm lonely, no sex life, meeting jerks, and so now i'm just frustrated! The most comforting sound in the world is someone getting up before you, and trying so hard to be quiet. I just thought of that, it was really nice, I miss it.
greener grass??
Sounds like you have a dream job. The grass is definitely not greener elsewhere. I like my job but do not make anywhere near 35.00 an hour.
Is the grass greener?
Most newbies have trouble even finding a job and you have had the good fortune of finding 3 already that you have thrown to the dogs. If I were you I would get serious and settle for something. You don't want to be labeled "never happy with anything MT." Most companies want commitment and stability from their MTs. They have to keep their customers happy. Well, with that being said, good luck and hope you find the right fit.
You're probably right. The grass always seems greener on the opposite side of the fence though!
Thanks for the input!
greener pastures
Just curious nm, where you moved on to. I once was employee of SS as well.
Greener Pastures?
You are right. There really are no greener pastures these days. The economy and jobs are at an all time low. The world as we know it or should say knew it is changing so there is a lot of uncertainty and that is hard to deal with. Just not knowing what is coming down the pike next. At least as home MTs, we don't have to drive to our jobs or buy a wardrobe or have to deal with office politics.
killing grass?
Good question, considering I have a new home and just now have grass starting to show through all this dirt around our house. The last thing I want to do is invest $900 in grass seed and fertilizer only to kill it. Please advise.
Candles that smell like fresh cut grass. sm
Gosh, I just love that smell. Anyone know where I can purchase something like that? What a great pick me up for winter. Also, love the clean smell of fresh rain. If I could only bottle that aroma.....
The usual green grass and blue sky that looks like the Teletubbies backdrop. :) nm

The worst Christmas (2001) was seeing my mother in a coma on Christmas day and dying the day after. Nothing I get from now on could make me think it was worse than that.

Then why does he present himself as "ghetto"
and dress like that? If he's trying to set a positive example as you imply, it's not going to happen if he's dressed like a thug while he's preaching the "good word".
Gimme a break.

 I think its time for a break already
I did it from day one at present job, 80% ESLs, but then I'm sm
It will all depend on your experience as an MT, with ESLs and acute care more specifically, and what platform you are on.
It IS doable, but will take most moderately experienced, moderately fast MTs a bit of time to achieve. While I can and did to this from my very first day, I am NOT your benchmark, but I am here to tell you, YOU CAN DO IT with some effort.
maybe ask present employer to
cross-train you...pick up part-time job and start at a lesser rate in order to allow for training...
If this had just started with the present
administration, might write but hey, this happened how long ago now? Can we write to the people in charge then and say don't send our jobs overseas? The present one is not to blame but having said that, I fully understand where the OP is coming from. I absolutely did not go and see Slumdog Millionare (even though I heard was great) because I hear enough day in and day out of other languages and I sure do not want to pay money and hear more. I am a prejudiced person now, not against most here but like the OP, mostly India.

I didn't have to test for my present
job. She looked at my work experience and that I was from a very large company, and took that as good enough.
Forget the present. His gift will be you.

do your present laundry first and then treat yourself--sm

I don't think the present Voice Systems will improve
I believe it is best not to name names, as others have pointed out in this message board. So, instead, I will simply post the job as listed on MTjobs.com and say that the same person is posting this job as when I was bilked. 'Nuff said.

Escription users past and present
Our clinic is converting to Escription, now after the initial training period Escription is doing OUR work..will we ever get our work back?
I would just advise to present your situation clearly w/o 'whining' (sm)
as my DH went several years back and there was a lady who worked on her farm picking crops, her husband was disabled, and she sold at market on the weekend - the judge actually bought from her - and judge refused to excuse her and said it was a 3-day trial, was her civic duty and would be over soon.. DH did QA at the time and didn't say anything after that :(
Got that right! Wish an autopsy would present itself to break the monotony. nm
s
NO. I'm making 0.075 cents/line at present. SM
Have 20+ years experience as an IC, mostly clinic work, which is what I like. Have been CMT since 1997. most companies will pay up to 10 cents for CMT, if you are lucky, but ONLY IF you work full time at THEIR production level which for someone like me will not work.
Look, I am as tired of everything as everyone. My heart breaks for MTs who cannot buy present for t
and it breaks my heart for people not helping other people. I don't know what your point is. I just don't want to be attacked and it seems we get off the subject and take one line from a post and use it against the person.
I have given people money that came to me door saying they couldn't pay their rent when I didn't really have it, not the whole rent but what I could give. It wasn't important that I knew if they were telling the truth or not, it was important to me I could help. I took 2 cats to help a woman who was evicted from her apartment or she was going to leave them there. I already had 2 cats. I am not religious but it seems strange I was taking my trash out and commented to her about moving when she told me she had been evicted, and about the 2 cats. She was not able to get them back and now I have 4 cats. I gave her money during this time and I did not even have a car. I gave her money on several occasions and I did not put retrictions on where it went. I gave her what I could without going hungry or my cats going hungry and I know she appreciated it. My new neighbors borrowed over 100.00 from me and 2 months later I asked them when they could repay it and it made them mad. They didn't speak to me the rest of the time I lived in that apartment. So what I am saying about that is don't loan money you cannot afford to get back, I already knew that but I was going through a bad time with a company I was working for and needed it. Some people are users but I would rather believe and do, if I help someone it helps me more. The woman with the cats stayed in that apartment for 3 nights with no electricity because she had nowhere to go. The people who borrowed the money from me had a little girl and they said they needed it for a drug prescription. I could have said no I didn't have it, and no I didn't have so much money I could throw it away but even though it made them mad at me, I know that little girl got her medicine. Maybe it was all a lie, I don't really know, but in my mind she got the medicine.
I don't know why it offended you that I said don't attack me, you don't know my situation and I don't know yours. I have no family, just my pets and if someone showed up at my door I would give them what I could, I am just built that way. If I said no, I would shut the door, and then probably run down the street to find them. I have a roof over my head, doesn't mean I will in 2 months, but so many people don't. I am sorry but I really hurt over this.
GO for it girlie girl! This is your New Year's present! sm
I am happy for you! You deserve a break and here it is. I hope you love it and it works out well for you.
People cannot fight the power and corruption that is present
in he political system. These politicians are bought by special interests. Many of the people with special interests are corporations, insurance companies, etc. They have major money to contribute to run a politician's campaign. Both Democrats and Republicans take this money. So if both the politicians are in need of money to win an election and you and I can provide the money the special interests are going to be heard above and beyond the little guy with a beer in his hand who is working 8-5 and wouldn't know how to organize a revolution if he had an instruction book. Besides he is too darn tired and has to mow the grass, take the kids to the movies, etc, etc, etc.
So you got both parties taking special interest money in return for favors granted (or the funding is stopped and the party can't win) What is the American public going to do? Not vote? You only get two choices and the system is corrupt. What do you do? Once again, you are assuming the American public is intelligent and united. If you read posts or editorials anywhere you will see the American public is divided led by sound bites or blind loyalty to a political party. You aren't going to see anyone overthrow this government in this lifetime. People in power are not going to give it up to let Joe-Six-Pack run the country on his $100 day budget to campaign. It is sad but true. We have been led down a path that it is too late to turn back. While the politicians were passing these laws to allow offshoring/outsourcing, we were watching TV or busy with daily activities of living, thinking this will never affect me. And it's the same deal now.
Anybody agree on who should be president? How about Iraq war? Anybody agree on forcing the national companies to pay us more for MT? Come on. Be real. You can't unite this country on the smallest issues.
i think the whole thread is in jest at the fools who run MQ, past and present.
How many MQ CEOs does it take to give MTs a raise after 5-6 years or to award a prize of a trip to Hawaii offered months ago ? What a joke and the jokes on us - for now.
"Medical Transcription: Its Past, Present and Future"
This link was posted a few days ago. It is an excellent article written by Claudia Tessier from the Medical Records Institute. It answers your question and puts the MT profession in clear perspective.
Thank you to the original poster who posted this link.

I think it is decided, and you can kiss this account goodbye. I would present the sm
finished work, along with a bill, and when you expect payment.
Meanwhile, get real busy looking for something else to make it up.
I disagree, I would leave the room and ask a nurse to be present...sm
I think it would be uncomfotable for your daughter or son (for a son even more!) when they are over the age of 14 for you to be present at their intimate exams!
Ask your children, unless you turn away your face and then you don't see anything anyways.
Give them their privacy!
They are not babies anymore!
Breakfast at Tiffany's, Rebecca, Wuthering Heights -- I really should come into the present but I
just love all of the old movies so much more than the new stuff, although some of it is okay. For current I would have to say Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man and Gladiator, cause I just think Russell Crowe is a wonderful actor, although not too sure of his true personality.
The majority of pcs being sold at present are labeled as "Vista Ready." This is
your best bet. Most MT companies will not make Vista a requirement for at least a few years.
I am going to have my son present this on Thursday for his position paper in Govt class.
One way to get people, even though they're seniors in high school besides the teacher, to become aware of this situation. Because it's not just the VA, it's every record that goes overseas, and Mr. Messiah Obama, et. al., fail to understand that or address it.
I got a REAL present for MT week from my part time employer. I love it!
way off topic wedding present question - is there proper etiquette on the amount a guest must (sm)
spend on the wedding present? I have known people who hardly know the bride and groom yet spend $75 to $100 on a present. Is this now the expected/correct amount to spend? I was inclined to spend $25. Am I being cheap?

What Company is This? I have been hired by a company that is sending a foot pedal.. Don't want t
.
The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers
:{
Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
