I believe it is next Monday, the 19th, as the kids have off school for it.

I didn't go into labor until 2.5 weeks later, so it didn't work. Sorry!...nm

kids start back
in four days already? Wow that seems early. Mine go back the 24th. (sorry off topic). I'm sure things will get back on track for you.
I can't wait for school to start either, and I don't even HAVE kids!! nm

I didn't really mean to start that discussion
In my rather limited experience all nationals pay pretty poorly. Honestly, 9 cpl is pretty good for a clinic account at a national. I just didn't know how much of a difference the spaces make in the long run, nor do I have any idea how much paying for headers and footers will add (and those aren't typed).
This pay cut thing just didn’t start with VR though
The pay for transcribing has steadily come down over the years. I know that for a fact. I was making almost $60,000 a year back in the 80s, that job outsourced, took another inhouse and that pay cut cost me $20,000 less a year, from there outsourced 1 more time and now working national but the thing with me is now I am only working because I want to work, not because as in past I had to work. It makes a difference and my pay is ok with me. If this pay cut had been years ago I would have had to take on probably 3 or 4 more jobs to exist on.
Who said I didn't have kids??? lol

Clinton never shot anyone and didn't start a mess like Iraq.
I wouldn't, and didn't when the kids were young, but sm
these days I would find a responsible college student and pay them $10-12 per hour, with a minimum of the hourly rate for each separate trip.
Hell, I didn't let my kids out of my sight in the 1980s!
Freaks and loonies didn't just crawl out of the woodwork recently.
$234 this june, $120 last June. Connecticut sm
We just had major rate hike. Can you spell r-i-p-o-f-f?
Labor Stats from Dept of Labor for MT inside
This is quite interesting...it is too long to post here but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the statistics. Thanks!

It's Monday
I don't know about the rest of you, but I come here to gain insight, vent, laugh, commiserate, learn, and share. Maybe we can start the week by ignoring the few that come on here to attack, belittle and chastise. Constructive criticism is great as are differences of opinion. Isn't that what this site is supposed to be all about? Name-calling and bullying are what we teach our children not to do. When it happens TO our children, we tell them to ignore it.
Monday was my day too!
Hey all...
Yes, it was a bad Monday. I also was told they were replacing me with a service. She had said that it would be easier with having the same service do the two doctors that I did, and would that be okay with me. It made me sad because yes, I count on that money to make ends meet, but rather than beg and plead, I said okay, and she said it will be a month before changing over. I was just hoping there might be a way I can counter offer and keep this account, but I haven't a clue how I might access the hospital system's dictation as an IC....they are wav files. I do have my Start/Stop player. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I try to believe in the philosophy of when one door closes, another window opens....and that is a good way to think, but right now I am very depressed because this economy and surviving is getting so very tough. Thank you....ps, I have been doing MT for 27 years now, so pretty late to start over elsewhere.
You will have paycheck on Monday 711/05

Try again Monday night.
I'll keep trying.
Wow, a party on a Monday? Can I come?? (sm)
I'll bring food too; I'm a good coo, I swear I am!.
Monday Goals
I thought that it would be good if we use each week as a chance to improve ourselves. We can each set a goal (it doesn't matter if it is big or small) and then we will share it with everyone to get us more motivation to complete it.
Here is my goal for this week:
I will do the dishes at least once this week.
A little background on this goal: I hate housework. I don't want SO to feel like I take advantage of him so I am going to try to make more of an effort around the house.
Anyone else with a goal and background for it?
Monday blooper
It was dictated as Allergies: Sulfones.
I transcribed "Allergies: Cell phones" . . . . until I realized what I'd done.
Somebody beat me with a wet noodle!
It is NOT Monday, darn it!!!!
But it's going to be one of those days! I had a doctor give the date of service as 4-8-05, and now I have one of the very worst ESLs ever dictating a colonoscopy, and he says the throat was sprayed with Xylocaine! Think these guys have been hitting the eggnog a bit early?
20K as of the end of June ... sm
I work for a national. And, I have more than enough time for life outside of work.
Try 575.98 and this is for June :(

Monday - I will lose an account
I just did the stupidest thing. I could cry but it would not help. I will lose this account due to my carelesness and not thinking. I accidentally just erased two "undone" tapes and kept two "finished" tapes. So on Monday I have to tell the doctor and if I were them I would fire me. They have been my account for 4 years but have been patient with me at times through some personal problems -- yucky divorce -- and I do a good job at a very reasonable rate but I would not blame them if they fired me. I just want to take myself out and beat myself silly. But there is nothing I can do right now and so oneward and upward -- I guess. But this will hurt as it is my largest account and I am a small MTSO so I will be out pounding the pavement for something.
Thanks for listening.
Oprah show Monday-have you let yourself go?? sm
I must admit this is me ever since I started working at home 6 years ago. Too easy to do. 6 months since a decent haircut, too many kids to look after and too much work to get done. I thought others might appreciate thesubject matter. Happy watching.
Oops..Monday=money

Monday's season finale
I taped Sunday's show and watched it tonight, and immediately watched tonight's show. I can't believe what Izzie did. I certainly was glad I could buzz thru the boring part about planning the prom so I could get to the important parts. I thought Denny was safe, but not so fast. Very tender how what's-his-name intern picked Izzie up and held her at the end. I'm furious that Meredith and Derek are back at it. She's weird, self-absorbed, childish, ugly, and slutty, so get over her already, Derek! You so don't deserve your wife!
Glad I don't get overly involved in mere TV shows like some people, hehehe.
Thx for the laff on this dreary Monday! :) nm

well, I interviewed for an in-house job Monday
She said by today, Friday, she would let me know if I got the job. She told me I was high on the list of being hired, but she was still interviewing. It is already nearly noon and I have not heard a word. I looked at the job board and the ad for an MT is gone. Is that bad news for me?
as of June, I'm at 47,000 and that was with one month off!

Don't know but don't go the first week in June.
Bush is planning to test some nukes and will be creating a mushroom cloud over Vegas. 
June bugs
Awwww, I miss June bugs, and just hearing about them makes me wish I was back in Missouri, which is where I grew up and we saw lots of them!
June bugs
My husband's uncle used to eat them.

Monday night pet loss ceremony
So very sorry for your loss. Here's a great link:
http://www.petloss.com/ceremony.htm
Every Monday, people all over the world remember their pets. You can add your pet's name to their list.
Here is their prayer:
PRAYER: God, Creator of all living things, we ask that as we light our candles, the healing warmth of love will flow into the brokenhearted who are tending their ailing pets.
Give to them Your strength and comfort.
We also pray that the soft glow of light will part the clouds of grief and sorrow to surround our furbabies at the Bridge.
May excitement REIGN SUPREME as wagging tails, ecstatic purrs and flapping feathers feel our gentle touch once again.
May they know the gratitude we hold in our hearts for their faithfulness and gift of unconditional love as they are forever remembered.
We are temporarily separated for only a short while.
The silver cord that connects us through time and space can never be broken.
AMEN.
Yup. Sun-Thurs. I do the Monday holidays. It's fine with me.

We were $2.42 on Monday - shot up to $2.99 today and expected....sm
to go well over $3/gallon because of the pipeline distribution problem. The governor has declared a state of emergency and is urging folks to not drive anymore than necessary while they're getting emergency shipments of fuel in.
How's your work load going Monday, January 9?
Just wondering if we are all in the same boat, sinking because of India oursourcing.
I needed the morning entertainment. My Monday will now be a better day!

Try the Hewlett-Packard site. On Monday they...sm
had computers with XP on sale.
June to October? More in fall
Congrats! 22 years for me on June 25. nm

To get rid of june bugs you need to get rid of grubs. You can
use Milky Spore but it is expensive and can take up to 3 years. You can put products on the lawn for grub control and that will eliminate the June bugs.
go away Kikki aka Melanie aka June (nm)

June was $105 w/o the AC on-- drip pan was rusted out - sm
and needed replacing, unfortunately they could not just get that part for some reason, and had to get the coils to....$645 later, it is fixed as of Friday (we went a month not using it since if we did have it on it would drip into the furnace and rust out the parts there, and have a river run across the garage soaking things too). So normally in the summer the electric runs from $120-$160 with the A/C on. I think we will try to use it less. We have made it this far w/o and it has been around 90-95 every day, with very high humidity (yuck). Electric actually jumped from $90 to $105 since we have fans running non-stop, still cheaper than running the A/C though. Have had a few cooler days now (80s) and cool nights (60s) so that has helped a lot.
Moving to Hawaii in June!
I will be working from 4 am til about 10 or 11 and then going to have the rest of the day to enjoy the sun and surf! Lived there before and loved it and can't wait to get back.
It was already published in June 2008. nm
