HERE'S THE SCOOP ON OSI
This came from an email from Andy, the owner, last December to the employees:
"Whether we think offshore labor is right or wrong, it has become a fact we cannot escape from. OSi will not actively pursue offshore labor contracts, but we have made the decision to experiment with using some offshore labor to save this large OSi client from going elsewhere. We believe this is the best decision for our employees assigned to this account and the company because this account is growing and we can assign the offshore part to the future increases and not have to reassign any OSi MTs. OSi is committed to continue using US MTs for the majority of their work and we will continue to resist going offshore."
He is talking about Ochsner, and I was told that they STILL offshore to them and also to Sarasota and Mayo.
The problem is that they LIED AND DENIED AND LIED AND DENIED this for years. They got caught when the then-QA manager, SD, mistakenly forwarded an email from the Indian company to the company employees. Of course, she was demoted, so they hired NP to replace her. However, FA pitched a hissy and threatened to go on strike because she was overlooked, so they kissed her a$$ and moved NP to another position. Not surprisingly, that department has gone straight to the toilet, and almost everyone has either quit or gotten fired, in addition to the mass exodus of employees since this came to light, because she is incompetent, inexperienced, and daffy as hell and is the most irresponsible, nonproductive person in a management position.
Be careful. If you are not in THE circle and kiss a$$, you are so dispensable that it is not even funny.
Any company that repeatedly lies about offshoring, promotes incapacitated people on power trips, and sends the work offshore in the first place, is ruthless and cannot be trusted.
Look elsewhere. It will only get worse!
Here is the scoop!
Bo and Hope's little boy, Zack, was killed by Chelsae (Bo and Billy's girl). The all lied to Hope to cover up the fact that Chelsae did it....even Bo lied! Needless to say, Hope found out everyone lied to her....including Bo! She kicked Bo out of the house...UGH! For me personally, that is the main topic.
Here's the scoop....sm
Last week Simon told Katharine that she wasn't as good as Whitney and Katharine started crying. Overall I agreed 100% with what he and Randy said on her - that she goofed up the song and wasn't good. Well, on the results show Ryan asked Simon if there was something he wanted to say and he said yes, then went on and apologized to her and said that on reviewing the tape that it wasn't that bad. I know many other people that don't believe for a nannosecond that he honestly felt that - Simon has never retracted what he has said and it makes us wonder if she has some family or friend in high powers at Fox that put pressure on him to apologize for making her cry.
Personally even though she has a nice voice I can't envision ever wanting to buy her CDs as she's not that great. She is the type of singer you'd see on a cruise ship or broadway type of show - not a top pop star. She also flirts so much that it makes me almost nauseated to watch her.
Here's the scoop on being an IC...
When you're an IC you're contracting yourself out to the company you're working for. This means that you work out the days/times/terms for your work. You don't "have" to work certain days and times but if you refuse to work when they need you then they can terminate your relationship. Since you're an IC labor laws don't apply and therefore if you work more than 40 hours that is by your own choosing and it's paid at your regular rate unless you get the company to agree ahead of time to pay you extra.
Here's the scoop on the RMT and CMT exams...
From what I understand, the RMT is an entry level test which means nothing basically. My employer doesn't pay anything for it. However, we get a dollar an hour raise for passing the CMT, which is worth roughly 2000 dollars a year for me, so as useless as people like to say it is, would you take 2000 dollars or say "no thanks." I know many employers pay nothing for it, in which case I wouldn't pursue it, but since mine does, I will probably try to pass it in the next year or so. I hear the pass rate is abysmally low, which makes me wonder what is up with that.
then what is the scoop on mtstars.. net t????
is that Sherrie (Sheerrrii was a bad word) or not? (MTStars. nettt was considered a bad word, makes you wonder, don't it?) Is she still running this site? Not according to the other site, this was was taken back by the former owner who happens to be in Pakistan. So I would presume this is going to be an offshore site from now on.
I buy decaf and caffeinated, and mix one scoop of each. It tastes really good too! nm

stuffed green peppers, from the garden. YUM! nm

Chicken pastry, garden peas, cornbread
Red hot pepper poured in the garden works wonders. sm
I had moles and rabbits and cats eating everything in mine so I poured red pepper and bought a cheap can of jalapeno peppers and threw them around as well. As if by magic, all the animals went away. I just got the cheap 2 for $1 stuff at Dollar General.
Buy local. The local stores pay taxes to support your city and state. (SM)
Using online and catalogues does nothing to promote the local economy. We complain about outsourcing and about the big companies gobbling up all the work so the jobs at local hospitals are gone, yet we do the same thing when we buy on ebay, catalog, and these web sites that may be located any place in the world as their primary business location.
BBQ shrimp, red pepper and squash; garden salad, new potatoes.
Homemade super nachos with a huge garden salad.
Ugh, I just spent hours in the hot sun picking peas, lettuce, beans, onions, and zucchini. Now we have to eat it all.
Spicy hot kung Pao chick with stir fried vegetables from the garden.
Onions, zucchini, oriental peas, bok choi, carrots, jalapenos, and dried Thai Dragon pepper flakes. Plus, some storebought broccoli, fresh garlic, water chestnuts, baby corn, celery, and red pepper. Served over organic jasmine rice.
BLTs on toasted whole wheat with garden grown tomatoes and lettuce.
I went local. Great local tech support, they know what I do and were able to set it up just for me
:)
I think you're a little off center
Attitude has nothing whatsoever to do with "success" these days. I personally know too many MTs, working for different companies, with very legitimate complaints and they aren't the cry baby types. I am a good MT also but what difference does that make if there's no work? I always asked the same question, "Do your MTs run out of work?" I do not have time to sit around all day waiting to see if there might be some work to do...either I work or I don't. Every recruiter assured me that there was plenty of work. They lied. I have worked now for 2 years for the same company and this time the recruiter told me there was plenty of work and obviously there is or I wouldn't still be there. If and when I start running out of work with them, I am out of MT period. So, I guess, I have to revise my first statement a little. If anyone finds the right company for them, then attitude probably does have everything to do with success. As for myself, I rarely hear anything from the company I work for other than regularly getting my pay stub that my pay has been direct deposited on time and for the correct amount. I think some MTs put too much emphasis on line rates. 1500 lines per day at 8.5 cpl comes out to a whole lot more than 200 lines at 15 cpl. As for my line rate, it isn't terribly impressive but I make as much as I want to make and don't have to kill myself doing it so these days that's about all one can expect IMO.
We have a bowling center
And our employees get free bowling, lol!!
How do I center something in Word?
thanks
document solution center
Jen: Is that the one in Gadsden? with Tina Parker as president? You can email me for more info, but I worked for them for 2 1/2 years and I would not recommend it to anyone. Thanks, Beth
Dell's support center
Dell provides technical support from their American staff only to CORPORATE clients, all others, like you and me, we get INDIA.
The medical center by my home is the same (sm)
The last time I was in there the receptionist said that all their dictation is done by EMR. The doctor pulls up the patient file, dictates into a little black machine, and it is automatically put into the record. The receptionist said this is done at THEIR medical center and ALL THEIR SATELLITES. I was not at all happy to hear this. They used to have transcriptionists.
It's probably a telemarketing call center
using a computerized sequential dialer program - I think they've been outlawed in most of the US states. If you have caller ID, just don't answer unless you know who's calling.
Here are some more - Maine Medical Center, sm
Fairview Health System, Gwinnett Medical Center, Atlanta, Piedmont Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess, Charlston Medical Center, West Virginia, Pacific California Hospital, UMass hospital, Marin General Hospital, California, New England Baptist, and the list goes on and on and on.
No, it does not. The call center is probably overseas

Has anyone done this? It looks good....but I need to know before I spend the money.
Thanks.
I also know of a very large medical center which did

Eastern Maine Medical Center
I miss working with other people. I miss having a QA person or a supervisor I know and can go talk to. I miss the hospital gossip and hearing about people's grandkids. Sigh. I left them to work at home figuring it would be all that. But it's not. Sigh....

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone had any good/bad info on this company. I can't seem to find much information on them. Thanks.

Mobile Infimary Medical Center
It depends on what department you are going into. Are you Medical Records MT? or Radiolgy MT?
The surgery center personnel are just as guilty, IMO. sm
Doctors are not untouchable. Any nurse or tech or secretary who has direct knowledge of a doctor using illegal substances and going into surgery is contributing to the problem.
I do virtual call center work and was having sm
trouble with people knocking and calling me interrupting my work. They were always asking for dumb things! (I'm single and this is our only income.)
The more time for homeschooling was a surprise!
We have been to the park more too. He is getting to bed by 8:30 (before it was Always after 10 no matter what I did) and I'm getting more sleep too.
Thank you for the help and advice. :)
SIL says she went through Wellspan Community Health Center. sm
any idea how to call them? i am not finding that exact name info. i did find roseann freundel as a DO student in WV but just pictured and an article. no contact info.
Actually a surgery center is acute care.
But surgery is surgery. Clinic work is not transcribing anything too invasive other than a Botox injection if you're lucky. I would think about that rate for transcribing surgeries. 8.5 is low.
Insect bites, center water blister.
For an entire month maybe once or twice a week, I have been bitten by some unknown sneaky bug that leaves a center water blister and a huge red swollen area around the blister, maybe the size of a half dollar coin. I have been putting neosporin on it but would love to know what is biting me. I woke up this morning with 3 extra bites. I knew about the one on my wrist which has already started to blister. I am thinking of going to the doctor but don't want to look like a wacko going in for nothing. However, I absolutely hate insects and they seem to love me with the bites.
The itching seems to happen when I am in the backyard (lots of trees and bushes). So, might be getting bit there first then the bites get worse as time goes by. They leave scabby cicular scars. The skin looks healed but very dark.
Anyone else with this experience or should I just head to the doctor. Can't really afford it but tired of the bites and the scars they are leaving. Thanks.
Question inside about Renting from Rent-A Center. sm
What was your expeience? Is it very expensive? I was thinking about renting a laptop computer to use for work on vacation for a couple of weeks and not ready to invest in purchasing a new laptop yet. Can you rent things for about a month or do they require longer?
Thanks for any help you guys might give.');>![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/shake.gif")
Does anyone know where to find a listing of the V.A. Medical Center physicians?
Thanks for the help.
America Online has a huge call center in India too.
No, not at all. Brand new Super Center, nice area. But have never seen the stickers.

Search The Deborah Heart and Lung Center, Mayo Clinic or other big institutions for research. nm

local
I am in a small town in Florida and I had one set up by a local one person company, cost me about 500 and he gave me a 5 year parts and labor warranty, I had a minor problem with it, I took it to his store and was back home in an hour - didn't have to have it shipped to me, didn't have to wait for "rebates" and would do it again any time.
would the local
mental health center be able to help? (if a child psychiatrist is not affordable) Might Social Services have a referral, or a crisis hot line possibly have referral information?
I think this child probably either has been exposed to visual porn in some form or is mentally ill.
Pray for them all too.
I have a local ISP (sm)
I have a local ISP so unless you live in the State of Michigan I am afraid this won't be much help to you. :) Here is the link anyway, just in case. :)

I would take the local job. sm
what is so nice about the local job is that you have the same dictators over and over. You can use your expander/templates/macros, etc to get really fast on a local account and work less and make more. Good luck. The local jobs are the best IMO.
I do both. Go local. Luv my local job. nm
