I hate theme nights because
the contestants try to do the artist proud but don't make the songs their own. Karaoke as Simon puts it.
Who should go home? Kevin and/or Melissa, do they kick off 1 or 2 tonight? These 2 are definitely inferior to the rest of the performers. Bucky is running my close third for getting the boot. I really like him, but I don't think he's got what it takes for different song styles that will be coming down the line.
TOP 3: Chris, Mandisa and Taylor.
This has been a theme of mine for some time
I see so many people saying they just want a job to stay home with the kids. They are not saying this is what they love, just a way not to have to work outside while they manage several kids/babies underneath their feet. How do you expect to have the dignity we once had, not like that. I remember the time I could name my price, say 25 years ago. I surely did not get into this to work at home, otherwise I would never have spent those 30+ years in an office setting.
Central FL, yes, and the theme parks are all offering jobs. nm

We are talking about DisneyWorld Transcription, not theme park. Something else entirely.
:+
Same theme, but CBS on Wed. is to review the top 100 inspirational movies. Should be good! nm
m
No idea...in 3+ years when we build I wil figure it out....probably a wolf theme
xx
On the same theme, you've done so many ESLs that you can understand (& interpret for family or
friends) anyone on the news on TV or in a movie without having to look at the subtitles.
A tip for keeping up..lol
I have MSN and it has "news" stories on there and I can customize it to how I like it. I believe other ISPs have it as well. I typically do not watch news because I have depressive disorder and there is never GOOD news (or at least very rarely) so better to just do it this way. LOL.
Log keeping
Sorry for the delay in responding, when I get typing I "get in the zone." LOL! Here is my code for keeping a log of my job IDs. It may be different depending on which platform you are typing on. I type on Enterprise (Webmedx).

SH will do very complex tasks, you just have to tell it exactly what to do! There are some downloads available on their wesite also. I did not think any of them helped me, but you never know! Hope this helped.
keeping mail
There is an option in the Imail to have all mail forwarded, all you have to do is put in your personal email address and all Imail is automatically forwarded to you, easy as pie!!!
No pity from me, you are keeping yourself down.
So this company is hiring when there is no work, so they are misrepresenting themselves. You know that, so get out. How is whining on this board dealing with the situation? Any new hires will find it out soon enough and hopefully have the sense to leave. All the "discussing" in the world isnt going to pay your bills. And besides, no one said you couldn't discuss, just go do it on a blog where someone is going to care. We are getting sick of whiners who refuse to help themselves by taking action.
Keeping any child
I disagree. I would much rather home school a child than send them into what passes for education today. I support the mothers who home school!
Keeping faith
When I am facing adversity (everyday), I often think about all of the times in the past that I felt like giving up for one reason or another. No matter how bad the situation was...SOMETHING worked out. When I say worked out, I don't necessarily mean it worked out the way I wanted it to.
Example: I was in a situation where I was behind on my car payments and tried every avenue available to try to come up with the money. I prayed some serious prayers hoping for a miracle. Well, my car was repossessed. I now had terrible credit and didn't know what I was going to do. At this time, I was working outside of the home and had a 6 year old who had to be taken to and picked up from school. My car was repossed on a Wednesday and on Friday I found a guy in the newspaper classifieds who was selling an 8 year old toyota for $3000. I did not have this kind of money. I called him and asked if he would consider taking payments on the car and I explained my situation to him. He told me he did not know me and could not take payments. I went to bed that night in tears. At about 11pm that night my phone rang and it was the guy asking for my address. He had had a change of heart and wanted to bring me the car. Not only did he reduce the price of the car, but after I had made 3 payments on the car he called me and told me he wanted to come by and do a bill of sale so I could have the car (no more payments).
Another.. I also had lots of trouble with my young son in school. He has been suspended 3 times for excessive talking, getting out of his seat and being disrespectful. He is now in the third grade. I took him to the doctor one day and saw four disabled kids in the waiting room. Two of them were much older than my son, wearing diapers and in special wheelchairs. It may sound foolish, but, I was thankful that my son is healthy and able to run around to get into trouble. Some of us think we are going through a lot, but we really aren't when you compare your situation to someone else's. Life isn't easy for most people. Be thankful that things are as well as they are.
I have several other examples, but I'll spare you. My point is...we are still living and breathing and whether we realize it or not, things always "work out". I still have that car which is still very reliable and has gotten me where I needed to go. It's not nearly as nice as the car I lost but I was and am still very thankful to you know who for that situation. Hang in there guys.
And you keeping watching, don't you?
Why anyone would watch that show is beyond me, but to each his own. All 3 of those judges are nutty in their own way. If Simon had a Brookly accent instead of a British accent, no one would find him charming. Paula has always been a little looney - remember when she was married to Emilio Estevez?
All this friction between Simon and Paula is just a publicity stunt.
keeping track
Maybe that is a personal thing if you keep track of who the doc dictates and who he doesn't dictate for. All I know is that they can take it for granted and you can spend lots of time if you're not careful. Could it be a doc in Ravenna?
Keeping files
In the process of cleaning my office, I found at least 600 floppy discs with work that I have done over the years - some as long ago as 10 years ago. Would like to "dump" all of these and more, but am not sure how long one needs to keep files especially for accounts they no longer do. Is there a good "rule of thumb"?
Thank you.
Log keeping glitches
Sorry, I forgot to mention that notepad has to be used, not word pad. Also, note pad has to be the only program on your start menu that starts with the letter N.
More info on log keeping
I guess I got up too early this morning, my brain is not firing on all cyliders today. (Been up since 3 a.m.)
Okay here goes:
Requirements:
- The Notepad program needs to be listed in the Start Menu (it must be the only thing listed in the Start menu that begins with the letter “N”, please rename anything else beginning with “N”).
- A file needs to be created from within Notepad named joblog.txt and saved to the desktop – one time only
- Save the file at the end of your shift – by a different name –clear out the joblog.txt file to be used for your next shift
If you experience trouble with this entry working, you may need to increase the pauses within the entry.
I'm keeping a watch
on the MT Reference style guide. I think it will be better when it's done than the printed BOS.
Keeping the following post going...
Okay...here goes...
So, currently I work in-house at my local hospital. (Probably shouldn't mention this cuz it's rude, but just trying to give accurate information)..I make 16.47 an hour, plus benefits. I love my job and it is supporting me and my husband (who is in college at the time...graduating in JUNE!!!)...So, it's worth it. However, I have to deal with a LOT of crap from the other MTs in-house. Lots of bitterness, competitiveness, bi*chiness, etc. I am dealing with it because I know I am not going to do this forever. Which brings me to my next point:
Don't stay in this job for a long time!!! You won't go anywhere with it, if anything you will probably get laid off due to outsourcing. I, myself, am starting school for medical coding. I will be done with school ($2000) in June and then get started in my new career. If have been a medical Transcriptionist for 6 years and have done everything from psychiatric to internal medicine to sleep studies as an IC (and it's not worth being and IC in my opinion because of all the taxes you have to pay...big bucks) and my best job yet has been working in-house at my current job. However, like I said, MTing is not going to get you anywhere fast. If you want a job that takes you to the next level, go into coding. There are a lot more career opportunities out there and you can eventually work from home being a coder as well.
If I had to do it over I would have gone straight into coding (except for the fact that I got a lot of medical experience working as an MT). Good luck to all of you who decide to stick with MTing, but I don't think it will reward you in the future. I believe it is a dying profession and we all need to move on while the opportunity is here.
I pray for all of us to be able to support ourselves and our family! I know it's tough out there and we all are struggling to make end's meat. Just keep on keepin on and we'll all make it through some how.
Keeping work in US
Because I always believed Americans respected law and they paid on time. I never visited this site MTStars even, but when I did because of all the circumstances that this lady led me into, I found out it happens regularly to other US MTs too and that Americans are no different.
Keeping reports...
There was a thread this week about someone saying they kept reports as a sample of their ability. Everyone claimed this was against the HIPPA rules.
Well here we have an ad, and I hope I don't get in trouble, for posting this, but see below:
Let me know if you have experience in the field of neurosurgery and if you can, please provide work samples. If I get the information and qualifications quickly, we may have a chance to win this contract, and work for you.
Thanks!
Now, to me that sounds like you would need to send sample reports. Am I wrong here? I guess this proves that it is okay to save reports as long as the demographic information is deleted and it becomes basically a "sample report."
Just my 2 cents...
Right-it has nothing to do with keeping up with technology... sm
if it means compatibility with a company platform.
have ya'll seen this movie sm
called Napolean Dynamite? If you have teens, maybe you have heard of it. If you wanna rent a movie this weekend that is totally mindless and just plain funny, rent this one! OMG, my 14 YOD has watched it four times since we've had it. It's just funny!
So are you saying you actually saw the movie?
If you did, then you would know they would never have gotten married if society had accepted their lifestyle and they did not have to fear for their lives.
It was a TV movie, first
After getting work at Universal (legend is he sorta snuck in), Spielberg was given Duel as his first directing job. It was a TV movie (I remember seeing it way back then). It was later released to theatres in 1983, most likely due to Spielberg's success with ET and other films at the time.
It's remarkable how simple a film it was (i.e., low budget). Only about 3 actors, with Weaver in every scene. It reminds me of a Stephen King type suspense, although none of the movies made of King's work has done nearly as well.
Some interesting comments about the film can be found at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067023/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9ZHVlbHxmdD0xfG14PTIwfGxtPTUwMHxjbz0xfGh0bWw9MXxubT0x;fc=1;ft=206;fm=1
any movie must see and
I highly recommend The Machinist, it kept me interested as to whats going on until the very end, and I had to watch it again to catch the little hints. I just rented and saw Red Eye, HORRIBLE...some parts were predictable and others were ridiculous. Don't tell me other passengers don't notice when someone gets head-butted hard enough to draw blood. Big disappointment. Anyone else?
probably his best movie!
It showed the insurance companies for what they are; money-grubbing killers.
I think anyone here who thinks this is a good system should try to put herself (or himself) in place of those denied a claim for a procedure to save a life.
It is callous and disgusting. As I said before, health care should not be a for-profit business.
It was a matter of keeping the accounts
Didnt they say they had to because the work was out of TAT?
I am keeping a list of all the rotten
dictators I have typed over the last 10 years or more. Not the ones who try but have problems, but mostly the non-ESLs who are just sloppy and inconsiderate pigs. When I retire, I am calling each of them and telling them exactly what I think of them and how it really reflects on what kind of inconsiderate person they are. I can't wait for 2 months to pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!
td = 10/13/2005. in IT I just keeping adding them as td.

More important to me is keeping my financial
info within the US. HIPAA allows many uses of unidentiable medical records to be distributed in many ways even within the US, not to mention overseas. There is no law that keeps my financial information confidential and within the boundaries of the US. Very little truly identifible information to connect medicall record A with a particular person other than by name is sent anywhere, even to MTSOs within the US.
Who wants my medical information? The College of Surgeons to help them identify ethnicities and trends in cancers, the AARP to help target demographic groups for products they sponsor and to "represent" when they pay their professional lobbying group in DC, the auto industry to decide my premiums, and on and on.
I got a Walmart credit card, was 7 days late in sending in my $10 minimum payment and got a call from India for collections. ???? Mailed in the account balance and closed the account. Then called all my credit companies to find out where their call centers were located. I now have only financial business with companies who keep my records in the US. That is my choice. There ARE 2 cases of people who sold US financial records being proscecuted by the Indian government and a total of 5 people are in jail for this.
To the OP, share with us your thoughts.
Michael: You've been missing a lot of work. Peter: I wouldn't really say I've been missing it.
are you not interested in keeping up to date
If not, then the Stedman's Work At Home is not for you. If on the other hand, you are interested in staying abreast of new technology and updates to words, then it is worth the money. For example, you may not be aware than LLW updated it's Stedman Spellcheck and the words in it are spelled more accurately than the words in the word books published before mid 2004. You may find errors in Stedman books that you will not find in the Work At Home package. You also get to ask about words you cannot document. I have used this feature and gotten an answer within an hour.
Very useful resource for the low price.
Keeping good thoughts for u nm
.
It sounds like your frustration is keeping you with
Companies do not seek out single people to put on the worst accounts, nor 2-income families for their best accounts.
We all have good and bad dictators.
Sounds like you need a good break. Hope you can arrange that soon.
Getting CMT may be least of it, keeping up with credits and renewel
zzzz
I think keeping animals caged
or "boxed in" and this includes, birds, snakes, turtles, and yes, keeping cats inside a house for their entire life cheats them of being able to live in their natural environment and doing what comes naturally to their species. Their exercise is greatly reduced and so is their instinctive behavior to feed, hunt or whatever it is they do. How would you like to live inside a box for your entire life? Just my opinion, you are entitled to yours.
I have been on since 3 a.m. without a problem, so perhaps maybe the ISP is having problems keeping t
more help, but I truly have not had a problem. Hey, try this.....take down your modem and router for 30 seconds and restart and see if that fixes the connection. Who knows what happens with the "gremlins" but sometimes it just works better when we start fresh.
Hey, cool trick for log keeping. Can you tell us how you do it? :) nm

Keeping up cert costs too
I was a CMT for 20 years before I finally let it go. Only one company I worked for in all that time paid extra for the CMT; then they were bought by Medquist who didn't care. If you ever change companies - voluntarily or otherwise - the CMT may no longer bring you extra cash. Remember, too, that you'll have to pay to keep up the cert. I went to the conventions every year. They ran me at least $1000 then with registration, airfare, hotel, food, ground transportion, etc. Worked in-house then, and my employers didn't reimburse. I was *lucky* I could get my vacation then. It would probably be more now; everything else is. If you don't have PTO where you work, then it will cost you what you would have made for those days as well. Perhaps you're lucky and have a strong local chapter that will provide you CEs for much less cost and aggravation. If you use the articles in the Journal, it will still cost. Plus, it's not just any credit-worthy activity, it's one from column A, two from column B, etc. It makes it much harder to get what you need (which may or may not have anything to do with what you REALLY need to improve your skills). I didn't regret it while I was doing it, but I wouldn't do it again unless forced. I hoped for 20 years that it would mean more than *personal satisfaction*, but it never did.
Have you ever thought about keeping track... SM
of the reports you send to QA and then going back later and looking them over? I'm sorry, but when there are 300 jobs in the QA queue, we cannot possibly send feedback on each and every report. Most of us are on production just like you or have production quotas we have to meet just like you. At some point the MT must take responsibility for her work and do her own research. It isn't enough that we get sent reports with 20 or more blanks because a lazy MT didn't feel like do the research, but now we have to make sure we email that same lazy MT and give her the answers that she should have been able to find in the first place?
In my opinion, once an MT leaves 20 blanks or more in report, the QA person is basically transcribing that report. The MT should get docked those lines. I have seen reports with 80 blanks in them --- 80 BLANKS! Tell me that MT isn't just being lazy!
QA is abused by a lot of MTs. They use us to finish their work and give them free lines. They use us to do their research. They are used to be handed free answers on these online word boards -- word boards, I might add, that are usually manned by QA people lending a helping hand. I used to frequent the word boards and offer answers, not anymore. Just try to explain to someone how to find the answer to the question instead of just handing it to them on the word board and you are met with hostility.
I've given up. This us versus them mentality is perpetuated by the MTs not by QA and I'm so tired of hearing it. If you want a better relationship with QA, get better at your job.
War of the worlds movie.
Has anyone seen the new War of the Worlds movie and did the big, mechanical monster remind you of a giant colonoscopy at times? Just wondered if anyone else saw it and thought the same thing. ');>![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smile.gif")
This movie was so bad that we walked out of it!!
/
That's the scariest movie I ever saw! SM
I was 19 when I saw it - and I went home and slept in my parents' bed with them!
Sounds like a fun movie!

Wow! Wasn't that some movie!
x
good movie
Crash
I am so excited to see this movie.
I never saw his other 2 movies, but I am so glad he is making this, and I hope everyone will watch it.
He mentioned on Oprah that health insurance companies are required by law to turn a profit (for the benefit of their stock holders), and in order to turn a big profit they feel they need to deny care to patients that need it. The laws obviously need to be changed, and healthcare needs to be a right, not an outrageously expensive privilege!
What was that recent movie ...
Something where they were going to blow up a compound in Saudi, wasn't it?
did you see the movie Doc Hollywood?
it's about just that - it's sorta old, but so wonderful.
Outsourcing - the movie
Has anyone seen the recent movie Outsourcing? My husband and I rented it last night and it was quite good, and very relevant to what's happening in the MT business, although the business in the movie was actually a call center. It's a comedy about a call center manager whose whole department gets outsourced to India and he is sent over there to train his replacement and get the whole department up to standards. It's very funny actually, with a little romantic story line thrown in, to boot. It seemed pretty realistic in portraying what's happening in too much of American business today, and as MTs, we can all relate!
