Yes, Nancy Reagan. Couldn't forget her! nm

NANCY
I really applaud your determination. I felt the same way 20+ years ago when I started as an MT. I hope you are in a place finanically where decreasing pay and benefits doesn't effect your way of life and it won't break you down....
I also hope you will continue to be optimistic as you wade your way through all the MTSOs that will just talk you up then you let down during your job search after you spend your time and money to graduate!! GOOD LUCK!!!
Got that right about Nancy Grace - sm
I can't stand her.......a former prosecutor.....
same thing with Star Jones Reynolds - a former Brooklyn NY lawyer/ prosecutor, who I grew to detest as 9 years went by on The View....I liked her much better when she was overweight and far less fake a person than she has become today!!
it bothers me too and Nancy Grace.....nm

Nancy Grace and Glenn Beck got mine
I also sent to Hillary Clinton's site too.
You are doing it right...I admire those..
who realize that being an adult means acting responsibly. Do we blow money sometimes, you bet...but we know how much we can spend and never dip into our long term savings just because we want something. Between us we have 4 grown kids, but have never had any living at home with us However, my DH paid his child support obligation in full to the tune of $1000 a month and still we had savings, vacations, etc. Yes, I know things can change in an instant, that's why we are not in debt and have savings, just in case.
I admire your sm
tactful bluntness. You said what I was trying to say, but both of our posts have fallen on deaf ears...or so it would seem.

I admire what you've done....
I did something along those lines back in 1992. I left a high-paying job in NYC and moved to a VERY rural area of the country. Jobs I've found since then can't compare to what I used to make, but I don't have the hassles I used to have either. My husband and I scraped and scrounged for a few years but ended up paying everything (except our mortgage) off. We do nothing on credit, and if we want something, we either pay cash for it or we don't buy it. The bills are much more manageable now, and life is better--even though I still have a young child at home.
Which First Lady do U admire most?
Eleanor Roosevelt for me. 
I really admire your enthusiasm. sm
I suggest that you spend some time browsing this website. Check the Main and Company boards, going back a few pages. That will give you an idea of how things work. It is intimidating at first, but you'll learn to sift for the grain.
The average MT job WITH EXPERIENCE pays 8 cents per line. Some make 9-11 cents, but not too many. I think it would be a miracle for a newbie to get 9, but I might be wrong. I have seen some working for 6, the lucky ones for 7.
Check some back pages on this board before you do too much, to get a feel for what's available, what kind of work you might be interested in, which companies will hire new (fresh out of school) MTs. A lot of companies require 2 years working experience.
Good luck to you. Don't get discouraged if it takes awhile; it's not easy to break in.
Reagan, bless his heart.

Ronald Reagan, my hero. nm

Hey, I admire you! I am 50, my DD is in college, and is always encouraging me to go, SM
I just don't know what to study! I am thinking of culinary arts.
Smart lady! I admire you.

Last time I was paid this little was during the Reagan administration.
Sigh.
I admire your ability to forgive and hopefully this will all blow over - however, that being said,
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.
QA Lady, I admire you but please give it a rest.

I really admire people that can make that kind of money
but knowing the hours she must work, and the days she must put in (probably all week plus the weekend), that's just not for me. Money isn't everything and I'd rather make my $40,000 and have my weekends free and work my 8 hours, five days a week and be done. Again, this is just me. Now if I could make that money working normal hours, I'd be happy. (I can dream can't I?)
Saw him on CMT show with John Fogarty. Great, great singer with a neat personality and drop dead
gorgeous without seeming to know it.
Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
Thanks to all. Got some great feedback and ecouragement. This board is great.
My rant passed, ate a late lunch, now back to the trenches.
GREAT GREAT SHOW! I still think Ellen Pompeo
should have gotten the Emmy/Golden Globe whatever it was for the show. I like Sandra Ho, her character just needs more depth... Next week looks AWESOME!! Maybe there is still a chance for McDreamy!! First season DVD coming out with deleted scenes! Can't wait to get it & watch it!!
It is a GREAT company and great deal! I've had
Vonage about 6 months now and I love it. The only mistake I made was trying to keep my original phone # - I wouldn't recommend that. You have a temp # for a while, and the other provider can fight for the old #, etc. Go to vonage. com. They have new features all the time! There is even a new soft phone that is a phone on your screen. You don't need a real phone when working - just headset. It has 800 #s you can have very inexpensively - great voice mail. You get emails when you have new messages, etc. I only wish I had used them a year ago! Nothing but good things to say, and I complain about everything! 
Sounds like he will do great then. Again, best wishes for great success!

That's great Patti. Thanks. Have a great time at the beach.

You should feel great as a transcriptionist if they think your work is that great!!!
It is not your fault they approached you. I think it would be a different storey if you were the one searching for the job to take away from a company. They obviously want to get rid of the company and if you didn't take the job they would probably ask someone else. You should enjoy the better position and not feel guilty!!
Great post -great job of wording your answer! (sm)
Original poster - I completely agree with this answer, especially the part about finding yourself and using all that you have learned intellectually and connecting that to something that you will also enjoy with your heart!! You have so many wonderful options for your future - much more than many of us.
IT - great program, great support system. nm

Thanks for all the great advice! You guys are great!

Great job
Hi, I'm interested in finding somewhere flexibile also as I have a little one at home. I'm interested in radiology only. If the place you work for has openings in this specialty could you let me know?? Thanks!
That's great!
I think sometimes people think you are trying to "replace" the dog that died. It's not replace at all, it just helps fill the void. Just like you can never replace a person, you can't replace a pet. They each have their own special place in your heart. Adjustment period - I KNOW!! But it works out. Good luck with your new baby.
great - thanks for this
I've been looking for something like this. Now I have it.
Wow--that's great! Thank you so much
for info
That's great! I like that! Put that right at the
edge of town so noone can hear us scream!
Being an MT is great. Though like with
any job there are going to be issues. If you work in an office, you have to put up with all the crap that goes with it. If you work at home, you don't have to read these boards. There are a lot of negative people in the world, mostly on here! You will have bad days but overall the good will outweigh the bad. I have been an MT for 15 years, 11 of which I have been at home. I have tried going back to an office setting, several times, but have never been happy. I come back home to work and things are fine for a while until the job starts to suck but I get over it. I have children but they go to preschool/school. They do not stay home with me unless they are sick, have a snow day or a short school break. During the summer, they attend camps and preschool. This is not a job to get into to stay home with children. It is a career as an MT, not a daycare provider.
I'd say go for it. You will get out of it what you put into it, like everything else in life! Good luck to you.
GREAT JOB!
I am glad to hear that it worked out -- an IC MT's worst nightmare (I have always had that fear). And extra pay to boot!
Sorry, but not my man. I have a great
husband. We have been married for 23 years. I know he doesn't cheat because he is home every day right after work, calls if he is going to be late, never goes to bars and works his butt off for our family. I'm not saying there haven't been issues but the good in him far outweighs the bad!
You might try giving it another shot. Not all men are scum!
You all are great!

Great
Good for you. Now you need to set your sister straight. I would be so mad at my sister if she did that..I just dont know if I could ever talk to her again, at least not for a long while till she *grew up*. So happy it turned out right for you.
Great help, thanks
s
great pay
Sounds like the hospital I worked for in Florida. We made 18.00 an hour plus 8 cents per line over so many per day which gave us a bonus of around 1500.00 monthly. Those were the days!
Great TL
I must say, my TL is a gem. Of course, everyone else in management bites the big one but my TL is fair and honest. She has to walk a thin line between keeping her team members happy and letting management think she is totally one of them, but she manages to pull it off.
That is so great to know...thanks! nm

Pay is great.
Don't know about others, but just today in two hours I've made $200 - of course THE best dictator is working today so that is not the norm - but my account pays quite well (per report). I started doing radiology when I worked in a hospital - they "made" everyone do it, so thats how I got my start. When Medquist hired me 8 years ago they automatically put me on radiology - initially I didn't want to for some reason - but now I'm glad I did! Don't look for voice rec takeover just yet - radiology is THE most important department most places and they are VERY picky about stuff - I'd say we radiology MT's still have many good years ahead (but then I could be totally fooled and cryin' the blues in a year or two).
Now its back to the fray - still have 6 hrs. to go and hoping "Dr. Wonderful" stays on the entire rest of my shift!
that was great! nm
Thanks so much!!:) Great to be here:)
