I care and I do educate myself, but the jury is still out on global warming.

I think the warming blanket excellent idea
Bought one for my bed and it is plumb yummy! I turn it on when I enter my bedroom for the night, letting it warm some and by the time I get in the bed my bed is toasty warm. I stay so cold always, run lower temps than most because of a thyroid problem. I have a space heater in my workroom that I keep on lots during the winter but that electric (half size) blanket is tops!
What a heart-warming story. It brings tears to my eyes.
I can't wait for chapter 2 of this soap opera.
Boxers, KY warming jelly, lots of sweets thrown in the bag with them
and one of those big chocolate chip cookies shaped like a heart and decorated with red and white frosting.
Indiana?
If this is the company in Indiana who has Louisville accounts, be forewarned. The accounts are nearly all ESL, the system they use to type isn't very good and the spellcheck is horrible. They also bounce payroll checks and there are no set paydays.
Not Indiana sm
No business license is required in Indiana.
I live in Indiana
this is the first year that our state has had to change time officially, however for years we have been dealing with two different times "fast time" and "slow time"... My husband and I worked on fast time (we changed our clocks), my son went to school on "slow time", my county was right on the edge of the time change, If I made a right at the end of my road I was heading into "fast time", If I made a left I was heading into "slow time"... very confusing and a real PAIN... We are so happy that we are officially changing to Daylight Savings time with the rest of this country this year as a state. It will make my life so, so much easier. I believe only Indiana, Arizona and Hawaii were the only states that did not "change their clocks" and I, for one, am happy that Indiana is finally changing!
Indiana pay rates
I HAVE A NEW PROSPECTIVE CLIENT IN THE Indiana AREA, THE DOCTOR DICTATION IS 75% TEMPLATE BASED AND HE WISHES TO PAY AN HOURLY RATE. I HAVE ONLY DONE PER LINE RATE AND LIVE IN ANOTHER STATE. CAN ANYBODY TELL ME THE GOING HOURLY RATE IN INDIANA/KENTUCKY BORDER AREA?

Thanks for the info
Northwest Indiana MTs
I am from Northwest Indiana and have Comcast. It is always down. Does anyone else from Northwest Indiana have this problem with Comcast? Are there other companies out there to choose from? My husband swears up and down that Comcast is all we can get here. I know south of us there is Nitco, but I do not believe you can get it where I live. Any information would be helpful. I am trying to obtain a new at-home position and am worried about the Internet connection going down on me while I am working.
today it is 2.49 a gallon, NE Indiana

Indiana Unemployment Question
Someone just told me that Indiana unemployment has changed, in that you now have to wait six weeks for your first check. Does anyone know if this is correct or not?
Help, Mediscribe of Indiana, NOT MedScribe of FLA, need to know....sm
I am so confused, the recruiter called me out of the blue last night, don't remember dropping a resume there, but she had my resume....anyway, offered great IC position, great pay, lots of good points, sent contract....but I THOUGHT I was speaking with MedScribe, does ANYBODY know/know of Mediscribe of Indiana? It all sounds great, but I want a GOOD company, and whenever I do a search, I keep coming up with posts about MedScribe. TIA!!!
I'm in North Central Indiana
and have used ATT/yahoo DSL. Not sure if this would work for your or not, but I've used it for years and very rarely have problems.
Bern
PS- GO ND
I'm in East Central Indiana and
have Comcast. When we first had it, it was down all the time. It turned out to be a faulty modem, which they had supplied. Once they changed that out, they have been incredibly reliable. It is very, very rare that they are down, and if they are it is usually less than an hour.
It was in Indiana. Loved the job. Even miss
it sometimes. But not meant to be, I suppose.
I'm from Northeast Indiana and have Comcast. I have few problems SM
with Comcast being down, but when I do I usually unplug everything from the modem and wait a few seconds, plug it back in and I'm good to go.
Eewwww... you don't talk like an MT, you talk like mangement. Ick. (n/m)
:p
global
I worked for them many years ago and the owners are great. Very helpful with any problems you encounter.
Global - sm
So what are they like to work for? How is their work and do they run out of work. How are their dictators? Any information would be appreciated.

I had the same thing with a client in Indiana - did their work for 5 years
Then someone from Connecticut stole the account - underbid me, and the work just kept getting slower and slower, and I asked questions of what was going on, and no answer. Finally the girl that USED to send the work to me called me and told me they were going with Mary's service, and I should be looking for something else, and that they had no intention of telling me because they were using me for stats, etc. (I didn't charge extra for stats, and she did).
So Mary, I know who you are, and I hope RP's dictation is driving you NUTS!
There I feel better.
You are in Maine, right Hayseed? I am in Indiana, and I totally agree SM
with you. It has been bitterly cold the past week with snow most every day, including today. I am glad I dont have to go out in it.
I get frustrated over the same issues as other MTs, but I just do what you said, walk away and try to keep a good attitude.
Superior Global
Does anyone know anything about Superior Global?
SUPERIOR GLOBAL
Does anyone know anything good or bad about Superior Global Solutions out of Texas?
Superior Global
I have worked for Superior previously. While I loved my job there as an editor, I work 24/7, literally. It was very difficult editing for Indian MTs because there was no communication and they were not very good. They are apparently going through some real financial difficulties at the moment. They just lost their major account.
superior global
thanks
Superior Global
Not only did they lose the account, but they knew months in advance this was happening. Nothing was said to the MTs at all. They just went in to work and there was none. This is not to mention - paychecks bounce
superior global
Superior global wants basic 4 also, it is for clinical work only. I will try the other one you posted. Thank you :)
Try Superior Global
The last I heard, Superior Global Solutions out of Plano, Texas hired MTs fresh out of school, I am sure to do clinic notes, but that is a start anyways. You are just going to have to start out doing any kind of MT work you can get your hands on, just anything to show you have actual work experience. I was lucky and got started in this business over 20 years ago, learning on-the-job, but I know it's harder now days.
Global Transcription Network
Has anyone heard of the company "Global Transcription Network," was offered a job today. Thanks bunches everyone.
Global Transccription Network
Where is the company located. I worked for a company that bought out a company by that name. If it is one in the same - do your best to run the other way. 
Global Transcription Network
It is based out of Texas.
correct - they took global steps and is why they
since they are NO LONGER DEALING WITH ONLY AMERICAN MTs, their name is no longer AAMT -
Please recognize this. Thank you.
In our increasingly global community, maybe

Global Medical Transcription
I checked out quite a few schools when I was looking. At the time the range was from around $700 for tapes to around $5000 or more for one of the more well-known schools. GMT was $2500. I had read on one of the boards that doing the tapes unsupervised, without anyone to explain things or ask questions of, was not a good idea. I thought that made sense.
I wanted a school that would train online and train in the use of FTP, etc. All the work was done via FTP at GMT.
I wanted a school that had some kind of placement program. GMT did, & I got hired by Medquist a couple of days after I graduated. I stayed there for about 9 months, then moved on & have been working ever since. I think the course was 6 months. It was not self-paced; you had to keep up. I was at my computer for at least 8 hours a day.
I liked GMT just fine. My instructor was great, there was some virtual classmate comaraderie, they encouraged us to use a word Expander right away, provided us with software & books. Everyone was nice & helpful, including the people working in accounting & registration, among other contacts.
I did check out a local community college that had an MT program. They had a prerequisite course that was not available until Fall (this was in April or so). You could not take any other classes until you had taken this one, & you could not take any other classes concurrently. I remember estimating that it would have taken me more than 3 years to get through the program. The JC was cheaper, but not when I took 3 years of living expenses into account. I decided to go the shorter, full-time, more expensive route because I wanted to be working sooner.
I liked GMT & am glad I went through their program. But they were hard to find, didn't advertise much, & now I think they went out of business. I just tried their web address & the link was dead. It's not because it was a bad school. It's just that no one knew about them.
Global Trans in Florida
I posted this on the company forum, but no one replied. I thought maybe it was overlooked. Does any work for or know anything about Global Transcription in Florida? Thanks a bunch
Anyone work for Global Transcription Network
Any comments? I'm a new hire, and looking for any feedback. Based out of Arlington TX.
Superior Global Solutions and Futurenet...sm
I heard Superior Global Solutions does not get your pay to you. Futurenet, I have read here does not have any benefits and runs out of work. Also here are a few other bad ones I have seen and read on here: SoftScript, Spheris, and good/bad about Transcend.
The good ones in which I have read have been all of the MDIs. Have not had any experience with them though..Good luck!

you must say YES to saving the global template when you exit Word each day. sm
If you are not prompted to save your global template each time you close Word, then do the following:
On the Word tool bar go to Options, then Save, then make sure the box next to Prompt to Save Normal Template is checked.
Can someone talk to me?
I'm really depressed and need someone; no religious stuff, though.
At what point should one give up one's children if you feel you aren't giving them a good life?
I will talk to you.
I will talk to you. Why do you feel your children are not getting what they deserve from you? Would you like to chat on the chat line? It would be easier to carry on a conversation. I know the one constant in life is that things are always changing, so what is making you depressed now could change at any time. Let's talk.
Talk to you.
I think to give up a child so that it can have a better life takes a lot of love. I don't think anyone does this to be mean or selfish. It's the most unselfish thing a person can do. Is this your child? How old?
Doc's talk to me
I do about 15 doctor's and I have at least 10 that do talk to me. Only one is a griper, the rest are real friendly and always tell me nice things, plus call me by name, which is a + in my book.
need a pep talk
I am feeling so rotten about myself and my MTing abilities today. I got an E-mail from quality control about several errors in a report and complaints from that particular hospital on this one report. Apparently, I had put she in several spots that should have been he. I also did not fill out the demographics screen. I guess I am getting ahead of myself with this produce, produce, produce thing. I suppose it is time to slow down. Anyone else had a slap on the wrist and felt horrible and then just feel so unsure of yourself that you just feel like you need to put the keyboard up for a while?
