Lord forgive me for saying this, but at the start of this, they interviewed her roommates on CNN, I

but can't remember all the details.  I think they offered 10 cpl for IC and 11 cpl for lines over 12,000 per pay period.   You have to "punch the clock" , which I just won't do.  Sorry I don't remember other details. 

Saw a program on CNN or one of those stations, and it was a call center in India filled with hundreds of well-dressed professional-looking MTs and they said:  *average age 27 with a business degree* compared to "average age 49 in the US with no degree"....

Seeing hundreds, and it was a 2005/2006 show, - I believe that show.  You may have interviewed a few dozen Indian MTs IF YOU are in the US but not MOST Indian MTs.  *S*

Have a nice day! 

Most of it went well.  They pay the same cpl as most the other companies I have looked into.  They pay for headers if you have to type them in yourself, which is better than what I got elsewhere.  The scary part is that all they pay for is the training phone call and then straight production, they really don't give you time to lean the account to build up speed and make money.  I asked the interviewer if the account they were putting me on was busy all the time.   She said yes.  I asked her if it was saturated with ESLs.  She said, "it is out of Texas, What do you think?" 

Those were the only 2 red flags I saw was the straight production after the 2-hour phone call and I might be stuck on an account that is saturated with ESLs. I did like the fact though that I will be using eScription instead of ExText.  I never used eScription before, I have always used ExText so I am excited about learning something new.   I do need health insurance and theirs was pretty inexpensive.  I am not sure what to think.  Am I going to be in over my head?

but when I first saw your post, I asked myself...is this a joke?  Then I read it again and I realized what you were after (I only read the tagline).

I have been an MT for 12 yrs or so and I have used the same expander, same library for 10 of those years.  I would not still be an MT if I had not had someone turn me onto an Expander and insist that I use it.  As I recall, I was doing about 100 to 115 lines an hour without the expander and with a very few (about 300) autocorrects.  (I started using an expander that came with a library of about 13,800 terms and began to tweak it.  I have more like 20,000 now.)  I went past 150 lph within about 2 weeks, over 175 in a month, over 250 the next month and then I did spend about 4 or 5 months reaching for 300 lph with the expander.  I didn't get faster than that for some time because other things needed to catch up...like my "ear" and my working knowledge of medical terminology. It took time because I also was not maximizing my expander and I am still not sure that I am truly maximizing it.  I could make better use of it, I am sure.  I work full time and for the past 9 days' worth of work I have 16,000 lines and still need to work one more day this week.  Without an expander, I would not have half that.  I am just not that fast of a typist, but I am expander whiz.

There is a free expander around and it used to be this site that had it, but it isn't any longer.  I have a library I am happy to share, but you'd have to put my 20,000 terms in by hand because it does not have a converter. 

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.

If either him or I cheated, the trust is gone in the marriage.  I think I would forgive him (not right away) as he is the father of my kids and I will always have a relationship with him whether married or not, but I I think at that point, the marriage would be over.  That's what marriage is to me, loyalty to each other.  I would say he feels the same way.  I can forgive anyone, it's just my nature, but I don't forget.

Came across this article tonight; while it comes to no conclusions, it's interesting nonetheless.  Especially where an executive from a national MT company calls his at-home MTs "overpaid housewives."

What's a gross line?

Stupid, I know.  I really don't know what that is, though. Thanks.

if you kill unnecessarily, don't say GOOD LORD.......you think KILL first before RESCUE....and yes, do some research, snakes have feelings of fear and pleasure and feel with their tongues.

idiot.....probably a D.C./repub supporter too, kill first, ask questions later..... 

A way of not taking the Lord's name in vain.........My religious studies raised us this way.  It's done merely out of respect.

 Hope that answers your question. 

please make sure that Animal Control did not list this as an "incident" so that it may not be used against your dog in the future, even if no charges were filed.  A lot of states have a strict "no bite or 3 bite" policy and would not want this to count against your dog later in life.  My brother-in-law's dog bit a child when it got tangled up in her bicycle wheels (granted she should not have been that close to the child in the first place), so we've learned to be very careful about our animals.
