isn't it just pathetic
Make a buck, make a buck.
Pathetic...
I can't wait to get out of this profession. When I hear someone like you say that you've been doing this for 19 years and you make 8 cpl and say that PROUDLY is just SAD.
Im sure these blood sucking companies who don't give a crap about their workers would LOVE you!
...pathetic.
.
What a pathetic person you are!
So, what you are saying is that the $20,000 that was donated is nothing? PUHLEEZ - If you do the math you big brain, that is enough money to give at least a few hundred families enough money to get food, clothes, and some well-needed necessities! Now, YOU go do the math! It is people like you that are such greedy SOBs and are not appreciative of anything. I know of a family that was displaced and I can guarantee you this - THEY know who is being generous and who is not. In my opinion MQ did what they could! Obviously NOBODY does more than they can - HELLO! You didn't clear your savings account and cash in on any stocks to send money did you? HECK NO!
I know. It's totally pathetic already
It would be comical if it weren't so tragic. I have never seen anyone with such low self esteem. She has to come on here and browbeat people who aren't even complaining. Then she wants to brag(?) that she made $200 in NINE hours???? I do feel sorry for her, but I am getting really sick of listening to her venom.
You guys are pathetic
Can we just wait until we get the darn packet before we start crying like babies -ENOUGH ALREADY!
That's not funny, it's pathetic

What's really pathetic is how people who are so
of their own lives feel some sick kind of vindication and gratification from having the last word on an anonymous message board.
Okay, honey. Go ahead and have your little victory for the day. It's all you have, and I know you are just dying to post a reply!
LMAO
I have a life to lead. Have a good day, but thanks for the entertainment.
My life is pathetic. *sm*
I work outside the home and I make a good wage/yearly income. I took up medical transcription on the side in hopes that some day I could work from home. I have to travel almost an hour to work each way and I live where we have major snow and ice storms and the older I get, the more anxiety I get about driving in this weather. My husband hasn't been able to find a good job (he works about 30 hours a week at a dead-end job with no benefits) and I have a son in college. I find that I work all the time with almost no social life. I also have friends and relatives who seem to be working more than one job either both jobs outside the home or one job outside the home and then doing something on line. No matter how much I work, I never seem to be able to get ahead and it scares me. I do not have an extravagent home nor do I drive a newer vehicle. What is wrong with us that we have to work more than one job to make a living and how am I going to face retirement? I am thinking I will have to do medical transcription from home until I can no longer see and just pray that it is still around. I never in a million years thought that my life would end up like this. I should have listened to everyone when they said it was just as easy to marry a rich guy as it is a poor one.
my life is pathetic
You sound so cruel in your reply. What if you had not found another man who was nice. What if you were still with your rich ex? I cannot believe that you would say such a cruel thing to this woman ESP. when you have been through the same experience yourself!! Not everyone gets a second chance to find a better person and/or life like you did. You need to apologize PROFUSELY to "my life is pathetic." I've had my "down" times, and as YOU should know, it is not easy to keep a happy face and have hope for the future. Again, you just got lucky; not ALL of us get that second "lucky" chance for a better life. Step back and take a look at yourself!!!!!
Pathetic. Outsider p.o.v.
The "anon" poster ended it yesterday and if you can tell who he/she is with the moniker of "anon" then good on ya. You look pathetic.
i agree, its pathetic
the mass generalizations. i never have understood it. Maybe i have been blessed enough to grow up near and know people of many races and cultures and i see the HUMAN in all of us. sure i have some prejudices, but its more toward those with massive tattoos, klaidoscope hair color etc, fhe things people choose for their appearance, not gender, skin color, age, etc.
you are SO mistaken and PATHETIC
I have worked for her for over 5 years and NEVER had a problem.
Guess going national to find decent transcriptionists is a mistake. All you do is slam, slam, slam. Pathetic bunch a lot of you are. You deserve stuggling with the huge companies and low work and crappy platforms and VR at half the pay.
Oh, my gosh! What a pathetic attitude...
Those poor people need help! What would you expect them to do? They have lost EVERYTHING, and many of them didn't have much to begin with. They can't go back to where they lived. Most only have the clothes on their backs. Shame on you.
pathetic refund back to CEO
you go girl!! tell him you want your postage reimbursed - haha!!
1. Me. 2. Me. 3. Me. 4. Me. 5. Me. Total # in household: 5. pathetic, huh? sm
Also, we have a total of 11 acres - 3 of which have to be cut. Our riding lawn mower broke in the spring, so guess who is out there pushing it? Yours truly.
If I don't do it, it doesn't get done....And I need things to be done for my own sanity. Can't stand a messy house.
That's pathetic that a hospital would pay for such work.
The hospital should be ashamed of themselves for hiring an offshore company.
You are pathetic. I make $35 an hour with
you would make some money. Instead you want to stir up trouble and complain. Why not look at what you DO have instead of what you DON'T have? The reason I am in MT is because I make $35 an hour and I can't make that anywhere else. If you don't believe it, I don't care. I'll go back to my work now and make some money, and you can sit on this board and b*tch and make nothing. And it's your own fault!
I find it ridiculous and pathetic that somebody who
volunteers to give expert advice for free, like you, is being attacked by people who are less knowledgeable.
And that it comes to a point that these experts have to 'apologize' for being so knowledgeable, instead to be thanked for their advice and help.
Your writing style, grammar, spelling, punctuation, all are of highest caliber, I congratulate you for this.
And I have never spotted a typo! (I might have missed one, but I do not think so).
Please keep on giving us your expert advice, thank you!
How ridiculous and pathetic, rather slupid!...
Go and drown yourself in drugs and medicaments, we'll see who bites the dust first!
Another Xanax-druggie?!

This really is pathetic. 5 years ago I started out with .07 and they are still only paying that?
You're really looking pathetic here. Notice how everyone thinks so? Move on. nm

Kinda but not kinda
My son is heading to Japan to study for a few months. He's NOT a partier and detests anything related to that, but still I will worry.
this is kinda fun.....sm

kinda
I guess some people like to be left alone - I would rather a little more guidance when I start - until I more sure of things. I was trained by a QA person who was supposed to be QA and mentor - now someone else's name comes on my corrected reports. The QA person is not even available on 2nd shift when I work - if I have questions I have to email and get answers the next day. Don't want to seem needy but sometimes you need an answer NOW
Kinda on the subject, but not....
My son planned a trip to New Orleans for the 4th of July. We tried and tried to find a room through travelocity.com, hotels.com, expedia.com, etc. without success. I'm not sure exactly what the site was, but I finally found a hotel room (I think I searched New Orleans.com or something similar) at the Cotton Exchange Hotel which seemed to be a very good hotel by all sites description. It was booked on all these other sites. So I grabbed the room for the guys. However, when they got to New Orleans and showed their confirmation, the hotel sent them next door to the Holiday Inn. What was up with that? Of course, they didn't care one way or the other, but I just wondered why the hotel did that. Thought maybe they were affiliated, but by the description of the hotels, I would rather have stayed in the Cotton Exchange and would have been somewhat disappointed had the reservation been for me. Just curious
Kinda sorta...
I have received my certificate from completing my transcription course and have been in the medical field for 5 years. From hospital to doctors office to home health care agencies. This should help me quite a bit. I'm confident know that I have gotten this response from you. Thank you very much! I am very excited.
Seems kinda strange,
if it is just for 911 purposes, it could be so that emergency personnel could have several contact numbers in case of an emergency. However, I've moved 6 times in the past 8 years, and I've never had to give that info out for any of my utilities.
Forgive me, but isn't that kinda mean?
Besides, my friend has the "collar" for her yorkie and the dang thing yaps right over it. The way I did it with my dog when he was a pup didn't make him "afraid" of barking (knowing he'd get zapped). He just learned that we did not like it when he barked. He also doesn't jump up on people unless I give him the okay and he does NOT lick people. EEEEW.
I didn't rely on gadgets with my dog. I trained him with patience and rewards. Works every time and makes a heck of a better dog.
If you're going to zap a dog when he barks, why not just kick him? The "correction devices" are only made for people that don't want to bother to spend the time.
Just kinda curious
what does attract a man to this field?? I suppose it really is no less "manly" than being an accountant or computer programer or whatever, but its not exactly high paying if the best MTs are getting say 50K. Not that that's bad I'd be ecstatic if I made that much. But for on average being a low paying and traditionally a "women's" if (I can say such a sexist thing)job why did you decide to become a transcriptionist?
Besides what's wrong with being gay- in my next life I want to come back as a gay man, their having all the fun anyway
Doc said CO2 88.4 - isn't that kinda high?
NM
No, I don't have that kinda time, but . . . .
most of the time when a guy has a sexy voice he has a face for radio, if you know what I mean!
For example,
Steve Perry from Journey
Elton John
Boy George
Once I was "fixed up" with a guy who called me to talk (I'd not seen him yet) and his voice sounded like a total dweeb. I wasn't sure if I wanted to meet him but did reluctantly anyway. When I did he was the most gorgeous creature I'd ever seen so boy was I glad I didn't base my opinion on the high-pitched voice that sounded like a 13-year-old that was my first impression of him! LOL
I'm kinda sorta doing that now.
I work for a national but do acute care stuff, which means I have to be glued to my desk in case I get an "instant message" telling me to type up a stat report. I have the kind of personality where I NEED a schedule, otherwise I'll just frig around and wind up typing up a days work at the last minute. I tried it before and it didn't work out so well for me.
I'm not forced to punch in and out for breaks though. I do take short breaks here and there to rest and get up and walk, but then I'm right back here at the keys. Some days I even eat while typing, but that's the nature of the beast where I am. Yeah, sometimes it wears thin like on days when everything aches and no matter how fast I type, there's always a stack of stuff waiting that needed to be done yesterday. It also sucks when I get asked to type up stuff because some other typist has gone "MIA." I just get bent because I figure I have to be here during my schedule, why can't they?
Oh well, at least there's an overflowing amount of work, unlike some other companies I read where the people are sitting twiddling their thumbs waiting for stuff to come in.
Actually they DO kinda' look like hearses!
One passed me in the fast lane on the freeway yesterday -- big, long, and black -- headed up to the city. Was wondering where on earth they thought they were gonna park it.............
Kinda slow
I bought the preferred version because I switched computers and my new laptop came with Word 2003 which SmartType does NOT work with. I was able to teach it the medical words for the most part. Some stuff was tricky like x3 and I could not get that to work. Unfortunately it seemed awfully slow to me and you have to get a really get microphone. FOr me though a lot of my work is VR except for new doctors so I just don't bother with it. But if you're typing all day it might be useful after you spend the time training it. I spent about 100 on it so it's MUCH less expensive than the medical version.
Kinda agree
I kind of agree with the above poster. There is so much negativity on this board. People who are thinking about becoming an MT or ones who are just starting out and even ones who are seasoned and are just having a bad day come to this board for encouragement and advice. All anyone (not all) can do is make you feel even worse and feel like there is no hope in this field and you have a sucky job! I feel very lucky to be able to work from home. Compared to when I used to have to get up in the morning, get dressed up, pack lunch or have money to buy lunch, drive almost an hour to work, be miserable all day long and stare the clock down, drive all the way back home, and then before I know it, it's time to do it all over again. Now I am 30 seconds from my office, do not have to buy expensive clothes or get dressed up, do not have to spend tons of money on gas, do not have to worry about packing or buying a lunch. I think we are very lucky compared to a lot of people. I just really wish some people on here would be more optimistic and not make people who are coming here for advice feel like @!*# for having chosen this as a career. One day I was having a really bad day and just thought I was a total failure and I came here and asked for encouragement and afterwards with all the negativity I felt like blowing my brains out. Not literally but you get my point. Glad I got over it and decided not to listen to those people and decided to go with my own instincts.
300 lph is kinda hard to believe, unless she does
!
Kinda? What's that? Indian?...nm

Well, it kinda depends...sm
I work in-house in Washington State and I'm sure I don't make as much as someone working in-house in California, but my fingers and wrists are saved by working in-house. I do have a minimum minute count to get, but I can pace myself throughout the day and it is very easily achievable. If I were working at home I would be pushing myself to the absolute maximum by trying to get as many lines as I can in a day (did that for several years...hated it). However, there is only so much you can make in a day getting paid by the hour instead of the line. If you make a decent rate per line and you have a high line count per day I'm sure you could make more than someone working in-house who only gets so much per hour for an 8-hour day no matter how much they type. So, it kinda goes both ways.
thats kinda hard on your bladder
you could eat something salty (? popcorn), try spring water, iced water, a squeeze of lemon or a bit of vinegar in it... its what your body NEEDS!! :)
I agree. Kinda fishy isn't it?
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Thanks for this post, SB. I have to say these comments kinda
I'm definitely not a redneck, but I do know some country people whom some of you board MTs here might call rednecks, who are absolutely the best of the best - pure hearts of gold.
If you would ever do research of the term "redneck," you would find that it really does not mean drunks and carousers but, rather, refers to hardworking, salt-of-the-earth, farming people who LITERALLY got red necks from working the land, out in the sun all day, to make a living and provide for their families. Yes, it has come to have a more negative connotation, but if you think that all Southern, hardworking country people are rednecks, then you are dead wrong, and I'd love to show you around here sometime. You'd probably love our Southern hospitality if you'd give it a chance.
Well, its kinda funny - but not overwhelmingly so...
Found it on another site and thot it warranted a look see! LOL. But U are right - not grade A humor - more like C...
Kinda along the same lines as muff (sm)
Would you believe I have an 18-year-old college daughter who does the same thing!!!???
Needless to say, we are very close and I've been a home MT for most of her school-aged years.
Actually, she doesn't do it as much now...
My solution was I switched to the red-eye. I work 11-7 (or loosely similar). I started doing this when she was in the 10th grade. I worked all night, finished, woke her up, took her took her to school and slept until time to pick her up.
Then we had the evenings together. It made a huge difference. She was always very tolerant because I'd work every little chance I'd get to add up to 8 hours or more. With all the interruptions of daily life, it seemed like I worked every waking hour.
It's not easy working nights at first, but eventually your body clock gets the hang of it. Weekends can be challenging, but if you take a nap sometime Sunday, you can get back in the *groove.*
Best of luck to you. I know it's hard. I'm a single parent and my daughter has been my life. She still plans *our* time, mother/daughter time.
Do what you have to. They are only young once. :-)
legs get kinda numb ???
Does anyone else experience this? After sitting at my 'puter and transcribing, my legs feel like they are asleep. Not really pain but numb. It does not necessarily happen after long periods of typing. It can be after just an hour or two? What causes this and what can I do about it? Or is it even related to sitting in a chair all day?
Mine's kinda funny . . .
I ALWAYS seem to type SHITORY instead of history, I kid you not! LOL
My kinda cook! I can sure relate! nm
nm
Can someone tell me kinda what it's like to work on Meditech? nm
xx
I understand - kinda in the same situation. nm
x
Kinda ugly?...she's scary looking...
She's way too young to have had all that work done. My guess is it was a mistake when it said Kat's family and friends... apparently she doesn't have anyone except her parents and grandma!
