Is it full moon out tonight?

It's a full moon? Bring on Van Morrison!!!!

I hear ya...must be a full moon or the infamous
"I've eaten the microphone and I can't dictate" monster has reared its ugly head!!!
Hugs, girl!
My keyboard problem (is it a full moon?) sm
I can't get one to last more than a New York minute!
I bought TWO HP keyboards the Saturday before Christmas. As of yesterday, I have already killed one! It was squeaking and didn't type out things I know perfectly well I had typed. I would have had over 2000 lines if I had not had to back up every word to fix it.
I don't like Microsoft keyboards, the punch is too hard. This HP, the punch is very light and I like it, but man, they don't last. I am hard on keyboards, it is true and they last about 2 or 3 months if I am lucky. I hate the ones that are too clicky and noisy, if you know what I mean.
What are you all using? I have to do something and my budget does not run to a $100 keyboard right now. Help me please.
Thank you Moon!
 Your post made me happy! Finally, someone who "gets it." Maybe you could email me and tell me who you work for? I bet MT's would LOVE to work for someone like you.

QA doesn't put their signature or # on the document anywhere, do they?
I know the MTs goes on there, so how would they even track a certain report to the QA person that did it?
Also, what about the reports that don't go through QA and go directly to the facility?
Thanks again Moon!
You are 100% correct! I AM just trying to get it right and do a good job! I do not believe that we all need to just, "suck it up" etc., that is the problem with this whole industry! No one wants to stick up for themselves or the industry. They would rather put up with it, just for sheer peanuts. I don't believe it is right. If there were more people like us, this industry would be a whole lot better off. Some people just don't care about crap work and just want to collect a paycheck. I honestly care about the work that I put out.
Moon
But what about the ones you don't proof?
Exactly right moon...

Full Core means full CPR code.

I think you are preaching to the moon.
This subject is just as bad as politics and religion. Good for you, you don't eat meat. As for me, I think nothing tastes better than a nice big juicy steak! Yum, yum!
If they can send a man to the moon...
Why can't they invent something to stop cherry picking once and for all??? ARGH. I'm having an annoying day myself - must be Hurricane Katrina....
Moon void this morning
Mercury is in its shadow period right now and the moon just went direct at 9:30 Eastern time....not full until next week. (see www.astroprofile.com) We're just getting started. To quote Bette Davis, "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride."
Take lots of deep breaths and try and stay as positive as you can.....hang in there!
YOU are right! These companies promise the moon so they (sm)
can get the accounts and the MTs are the ones that get the bad deal. To be honest, I too, am not good with heavy ESLs but I sure try. I am also slower than most - but I sure try. There are some ESLs that really try hard and I appreciate their efforts. Then there are ESLs that are so fast and so sloppy I haven't a clue what they are saying. There are also horrible American dictators too. As the above poster said - the lack of decent courtesy is gone. Their excuse - I'm in a hurry, blah, blah, blah. Well sometimes I'm in a hurry so maybe I should stop capitalizing words, quit looking up strange words, forget punctuation. Really! Have dictators forgotten that there is a real human being transcribing his mess?
Oops, missed the part about expecting it to be as big as the moon!
.
Yes, and what about Moon Zappa and Dweezil? What in the world were they thinking?
Horrendous.
Yeah, but full-time lines does not necessarily mean full-time hours, so I would do it if your produc
-
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
HA! You are full of it, LOL. (nm)
better to be *full of ourselves* than....nm
Boy you are FULL of it
How the heck did you jump to the assumption that I probably make less than you? Why - because your brother and father are engineers?? I never said I needed another job, I said I wanted one to fill my time and make some extra money. Unless your last name is Gates or Buffet, who wouldn't want to use their natural skills to make extra cash on the side? Grow up.
And if your job is so difficult, how is it you have all this extra time to sit on this forum bashing folks? I never claimed my job was too demanding, but it did take quite a bit more education - initially and always ongoing to keep up with the latest technology - than yours did. I didn't come on this board to start a "My job is harder/better than yours", but my goodness you are the most assumptive and pious person I have ever had the displeasure of being introduced to. And that says a lot considering I work with all men in a computer engineering industry! Maybe you would find your job more rewarding if you spent more time doing it!
Oh but it was nowhere near full.
This is the 2nd time this has happened. Believe me, in the olden days when autotext was all there was I had a WAY bigger file, now it's gone. Not autocorrect, mind you, I use the ESP for that, but the autotext. It just makes life so much easier.
Are you full-time?
I was just wondering how they expect people to get a quota with no work.
Thanks, we already have a used car without full coverage.
The payment's not that big on it, except when there's a mixup at the bank and they deduct one check twice with the same amount and same check number. It just feels like the money mojo magnet is gone from my life this week! LOL Everything seems to go wrong all at once.
Full screen
No, it's not in full screen mode. You're right, though, I was hitting Ctl not Alt for a while. Have tried Alt V and nothing happens.
I did find something in MS Help online, but it requires that I start the machine in Safe Mode. The PC locks up now when I get to the dos program where I would select Safe Mode.
Thanks for all the help. So far I've tried all the suggestions and nothing has worked yet.
I'm about ready to light a match to this machine, I tell ya!!
and aa and jb are my full initials so no need to qa it

Not a warrior, but usually end up doing at least a full day of
work one day or split between the two. There is always tons of work and always out of TAT, but I do it mainly cuz I need the $$.
I'm getting the full picture now. Not...
a pretty picture is it?
$1,100.00 full time

It took 2 full days, but...
I love it!! My hands never ache after I am done typing, and I have increased my speed with this keyboard.
What is the company's full name?

ok.... Here it is... in full and complete.
Suicide Brownies
1 - 19-21 oz. pkg. fudge brownie mix.
1 - 10-12 oz. pkg. white choc. pieces.

he's so full of psychobabble....sm
In my mind, I have always questioned Phil's degrees, where he got them, if they are legitimate, and all that jazz....he doesn't sound like a true psychologist and I cannot stand the way he speaks to people, except his wife, who he wouldn't dare speak to the way he speaks to others. I think he is a shyster of a *psychologist* IF he is truly a psychologist!!.....
That's for a cut & full highlights though...
I don't know what she would charge for just a hair cut.
Judy CAN be and should be full of herself
     
Are you full-time?
How many lines do you do a day? I personally think this is very low even for a newbie, but I'm wondering if your accounts are REALLY easy and you have a lot of "normals" (macros) where you can get great line counts in a short period of time. Just my opinion and I'm no expert but I'd say they ARE taking advantage . . . .
Also add someone else is doing full QA on your work.

I would say full time 1,000 to 1,200 per day. nm

Its not me, its my full time job
Its not me being superwoman, I can assure you. My full time job is awesome and the company I work for is everyone's dream come true. My little one takes up a lot of me, don't get me wrong, but I guess I spent a lot of time out doing things where as now I have to be at home with her. My husband and I have opposite work schedules so he's on his own pretty much and I only have to take care of myself and our daughter usually. I just thought someone there is this get rich in your free time job out there in the MT field that I should look into (JOKING!! please don't bash me again!).
Seriously - I am just looking into ways to make money from home while filling up my free time. Computers is what I do so I figured it would be interesting to look into MT. My mistake I think. Sounds like way more work than I wanted to do.
You are just full of compliments.
You should examine yourself in the mirror. "Look like a slob while you work"? How do you know what people look like when they work? Do you have a cam? I am no newbie, but I feel for the MTs you do QA work for as you are pretty tough!  Have a and get out more often! Have a great day, my goodness.
Full audio QA
If you do this, then they need to pay you QA pay in addition to line count pay.
Yes, Full-time.
I work 40 hours a week for 1 company. I also have an IC job on the side to help with some money, but everytime I have logged on in the last month, there has been no work.
I do see my lines starting to come up, but am still only hitting 100 lines on average which is only $6.50 an hour. Not a livable wage by any means. That barely covers my rent each month.
I also have gotten out of MT full time
So I only work doing transcription part time.
I think you're full of it.
Full-time IC?
Full-time IC is a term that seems contradictory to me. I thought an IC was expected to have more than one "client", at least per IRS expectations, so how does an MTSO get away with requiring an MT's undivided attention as an IC? It seems that MTSOs have a different set of rules....and we are the ones who allow it.
Has anyone out there addressed this issue with either a potential client and/or the IRS? If so, what was the outcome? I'm thinking of filing a complaint and just need some feedback to determine if it is worth my time and energy.
TIA.
You are exactly right. Beth is full of herself and her focus
is not where it should be. It's time to sit down and shut up and let the professionals do their job. She is in no position to criticize because she doesn't have all the facts.
$16/hr with full benefits at home.
nn
I think it is probably someone unable to have a full thought because
this job takes over our minds LOL!!
has anyone transitioned from IC or SE to full time
How did the transition go? What are the differences? What do they take out of you for single in regards to health insurance. Did your pay rate stay the same? My premiium went up AGAIN as it does every year, 20 bucks, and i'm thinking about becoming full time, but only if it is a smooth transition. Thanks guys
Lady you are full of it. Amherst, tell me another one.
