30 hours divided by four days equals seven-hour days. Most of us have to work pretty much every day
.
You can "make a living" if you work 16-hr days, 7 days
and if you rarely buy anything but food and the barest essentials in clothing. My balancing act is so precarious that all it'll take is one of life's little disasters (rent increase, sick pet, major car repair) to pull the rug out from under me. Not a good feeling at all.
I work 7 days a week because I work 3 jobs.
Workaholic here who would seek counseling if I had the time. hahaha
Anyone work 7 days a week with shorter work
I have arthritis in a couple of places, and I'm having a lot of trouble making it rhrough 8-hour days, even with split shifts, and I end up working most weekends anyway to make up for my decreasing production durng the longer days. I'm wondering if I should just commit to seven 5-1/2 hours days and be done with it.
You mean they work OUR holidays. They just had a big one that lasted 5 days and WE had work for a w
You think Indians don't get sick? They have to be constantly sick in that disgusting place.
I can see days when work is there..sm
I can understand a company saying "this is when we get the work." Especially if clinic. Docs see patients on Monday, dictate, and work is there to do on Tuesday. That could certainly be possible in a certain scenario. However, as an IC, you should have a TAT and be able to work whatever hours you want within that TAT. You shouldn't HAVE to go to employee status to get the hours you want. I don't think you asked any questions that were out of line. Sounds like it's not the right fit for you. There are plenty of jobs out there for someone with your experience so don't settle if you feel uncomfortable!
Let's do all our work for the month in 4 days. (sm)
Anyone else out there with this problem. Just when you think the work is flowing fine, all of a sudden it's slow, no work, the doctors are on vacation. Then they come back and whammo! Your plans are shattered to continuously sit at the desk for 4 days straight.
I'm ready to quit and make hair bows for a living.
 Rah, rah for hair bows. No stress and if I work this hard, I could probably make more money.
Tuesday off -- work other 6 days /nm

If MTs want to work 10+ hour days
...more power to them. Not me - I'm gettin' tired of this. They're lucky if they get 6 hours out of me. I worked 10+ hours a day and weekends when I first started. Now, I could care less. I may not perform 1200+ lines a day, but I have excellent QA.
I work 6 days a week- only 1 of these has - sm
weekend work and that is by choice - so I could have the weekend off too. Generally though I work Sunday; Saturday is the day we do things together; and Sunday mornings we usually go out and do something. So I have most of the weekend free to recharge and have fun.
I work 6 days a week....
I posted this before, but it got deleted somehow, so I'm sorry if this shows up twice. I work 6 days a week for about 4 hours a day. Sometimes it is 5 hours a day if the dictators are bad. I have found that since I have switched to this schedule, I am more productive since I am not so worn out, and I produce more per hour than I did when I was working an 8-hour day. But I must have at least 1 day off. I couldn't imagine working EVERY SINGLE DAY. Good luck! 
I personally do not want to work on my days off..

Computer crashed, cannot work for two days.
How do you prepare for something like this??? I wonder if the big "S" has compensation for this type of thing. Hard drive needed replaced. Egads. And I cannot work off my schedule as I would be, you know, cheating. This is a major financial hit.
scheduled days, I work 'em.....nm

1. He works nights. 2. I work days
Ah, but the weekends. . . ..
Give her the same amount of work on the days
near the end of the pay period that she seems to be doing the rest of the days. I worked for a friend's niece, and if she did not think you were going to get the work done, she would yank it from you even if you were frantically trying to get it done. She has a TAT to meet, and good accounts are hard to come by.
No. I work four 10-hour days. I'm really fast, really
occasions, about every other month, I might do 8-10 hours overtime.
How many days a week does your manager work? sm
Do you hear from them 7 days a week, 6 days a week, 5 days or what?
I work on my days off, but mainly because I haven't gotten 40 hours in for the
week and if I feel like working I am able to do so. Not working extra or anything, just have not gotten in a full week.
I work 7 days a week -- see message
I work 7 days a week. I work 30 hours Monday through Friday and 4 hours on Saturday and Sunday. I start at 3 a.m. through the week. Weekends are my time to sleep in -- LOL. I don't start until 5 a.m. My production is way up. I just can't do 8 hour days. I felt like I spent my 2 days off running errands and cleaning.
I have 2 kids who are school age. When I finish my shift, I go back to bed for a couple hours, get up, shower, and eat lunch. Three days a week I go to the gym for an hour and get home just in time for them to start getting home from school. The other days I use to clean house and run errands. It just seems I get more accomplished and have more time to do the things I enjoy with this schedule.
On the weekends, by the time I finish up everyone is just beginning to get up, so I don't feel like I miss out on any weekend time with my family.
I went back to work when babies were 9 days old
And yes, you can transcribe with TWO babies on your lap. It's a royal pain getting spit-up out of the keyboard though!
And before anybody starts a flame war on me, the boys are 10 years old now and now I get to work while they're asleep.... ;)
Bare amount of work for two days. They say the server is down.
Thank goodness I have a PT job or I'd be a mental case. This is not a good time to not be making an income, when the economy is in such a vulnerable state. I have just disconnected my second telephone line. Now, am going to buy a cord of wood to keep warm this winter as I doubt I'll be able to heat the house with natural gas from what they are describing the bills to be like ($800-$1000 per month).
DId NOT work. Had to pound the keys -- took it back in 2 days. nm

And then consider when you work 9 hours a day 7 days a week...that adds up to way TOO much!
I have work...16 hours' worth every day, 6 days a week no less. nm

I would charge more per line for working holidays or if asked to work scheduled days off. SM
But did you address that in your contract?
Hasn't happened yet.
Has your pay already been cut by MQ? I am an IC for MQ and this has not happened to me yet. Is it a proven fact that this is going to happen or just speculation?
My son is only 7, so he hasn't caught on yet
that I'm not talking to him. He still says "what" all the time...lol. So, I'll look at him and say, "do you know what flagginationalization means?" Cracks him up every time.
Very little hasn't changed...sm
since the beginning of time. It's not just the 'religious fanatics' who have changed. The human race has evolved in their beliefs since Adam and Eve. Christians don't follow the rules of the Old Testament per se, because Jesus fulfilled the laws. There aren't too many religions who still make animal sacrifices. A woman who is having her period is no longer considered unclean. Pork is not considered taboo in the Christian faith, and Catholics aren't limited to eating only fish on Fridays. There were religions who believed in human sacrifice, but I doubt that goes on very much any more.
People have evolved in that we no longer believe the world is flat. We don't believe you are going to get AIDS by touching someone who has it. We no longer believe that a woman who is having her period can't go swimming.
Who believes the same things they believed when they were six? How different are your beliefs than your parents? Not just about religion, but about anything.
I see it as a career BUT so far it hasn't ...sm
paid like a career. I hope that will change the more exp I get.
How do you know the physician hasn't
reported it. No, I do not believe it is our place to do so.
Working 6/hour days, 5 days/week I make
$42,000.00, but the work is there to make more if I want to. I'm in the southeast.
Your sister hasn't been looking in the right places. (sm)
There are companies that hire coders to work at home. Tell her to try www.aviacode.com, www.lexicode.com, www.amphionmedical.com, www.btcworldwide.com, and www.peakhs.com. Tell her to subscribe to the AHIMA jobs board. They have plenty of jobs (some are in-house and some are work at home). Hope this helps.

Dixie also hasn't worked as an MT (sm)
for years and years. Weird stories about that woman!
She hasn't filed for a divorce yet -
Because the state she lives in does not recognize legal separation, she had an agreement drawn up by her corporate atty. This agreement handed the house (quick claim deed) and business over to her, while her "future ex" draws his pension and moved to warmer weather (California). This all happened when things were friendly. Now she wants a divorce so she can get on with her life (with her new beau she is buying the house with). BAD idea since she has not filed for a divorce. Anyway, thanks everyone. I think I'll be visiting her in jail.

i think he is totally obsessed with the case. whether he did it or not, i am not sure. he can't give details?? the puzzle i am not fitting is the 118,000 ransom note that patsy new about. he has admitted it was a hostage gone wrong. i am wondering if maybe somehow he and patsy worked together on this one and now the reasoning it is coming out since patsy is no longer here. he lived in Georgia where they did but jonbenet was a baby at that time. it states that were vaginal abrasions but no semen? maybe that was a cover up to make it look like an intruder but they kinda left out an item called semen to make it real. makes me wonder if her hymen was intact. he is saying he drugged and raped her but yet autopsy says no drugs in her system.

Why hasn't anybody invented a mouse that is operated with our feet?
It hasn't been allowed since HIPAA. MT companies who outsource...
get away with it because they don't tell their clients, and internet wav file capabilities enable them to do so without anyone knowing. Some policy and investigation needs to be enforced to stop this. I say start slapping companies who outsource with huge fines and see how long we have to deal with outsourcing problems. What gets me most is "I can't even get a copy of my own medical record from my doc unless he has a release of medical records form signed by myself on file in my chart, but a doctor can dictate John Smith's medical history, send it to a company who in turns sends it out of the country and back here! Ridiculous.
This site is not working correctly and hasn't all day long. Someone needs to fix it!
I don't know who, but the administrator should know.
It hasn't been called AAMT in a long time. nm
But, in our case, 'credentialling' hasn't made ONE IOTA
In fact, just the opposite has happened. It's just a pocket-lining scheme, and nothing more. We had plenty of respect and a decent income back in the day when we had no 'CMT' scam going on. It isn't being credentialled I have a problem with - it's the group claiming that it's 'necessary', who is trying to get it mandated, and who would ultimately PROFIT IMMENSELY if that were to come about. But would WE profit? Nuh-uh. It hasn't made being an MT (credentialled or not) a better or more rewarding career, and if fact, just the opposite. So I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that if they were to succeed in making it mandatory that only CMTs could work, that those MTs would derive any viable benefit from obtaining the title. Most likely things would just get worse.
