leftover from the day before.  I will often get 6 reports from a very difficult ESL dictator and they may be over an 8 hour period of dictation.   When there is such a gap in the dictation you know you are being assigned these reports, not just luck of the draw.   All work is assigned by the office.   I have seen my line count drop about 4000 lines/pay period the last couple of months because I'm getting such bad dictators.  I don't mind doing my fair share, but it certainly isn't fair that my line count is being affected like it is. 

I have complained to my supervisor and it got better for a couple of months and now it is the same crap all over again and I'm looking to move on.  

use me because they have had such horrible quality from national services that they refuse to use them anymore.  That includes national services with American MTs and national services with Indian MTs.  I am surviving and thriving while you are whining.

things will keep going downhill.  We need to all write letters, inform people, push for legislation that will prevent American patients' protected medical data from being offshored.  We need to boycott any MTSOs that offshore and we should not accept peanuts for our skills. 

That's what it will take, but with MTs like you who call us whiners for voicing our frustrations, concerns, and opinions and who sit around doing nothing, we will all lose.

if that is all they WANT to type.   Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?

You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones.   Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between. 

I have hundreds of hotties,beauties and smarties to wish, so I thought to finish off uncles and aunties first.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Have you had a tubal or come off BC pills?  I was doing some research the other day and came up with hormonal imbalance, but not estrogen like they think.  One of the posters on the Ask the Dr. board recommend progesterone cream for the sore hoohas.  Read down the board and you'll see the posts.  She said the doctors are mistreating it with BC pills, which only makes it worse..  I'm making an appt w/my doctor and asking for an endocrine evaluation to see how out of whack everything is.  FWIW, my former doctor put me on BC pills with Prozac for my PMS.  The physical symptoms got worse, while the Prozac made me sleep 12 hours a day, have really wild dreams, and lose all motivation to clean the house or work.  I do not like that stuff.

There are there boys here, and believe me, males have their hormonal mood swings, too.

if you knew it wouldn't be enough? I don't mean to be rude, but it seems to me you want to have your cake and eat it too. I don't think it's right you want to cheat the gov't by putting everything in your husband's name.  I suggest you ask your clergyman what he thinks of your proposal.

I have been married to the same man for the last 13 years.  We had 3 children together after we got married.  My husband and I each had to pay for our own college educations.  We have worked for everything we have and have done it the honest way.  I would have loved to have had a child first and then went to school for free while my husband was living with me and supporting us but had a different mailbox so I could still collect welfare.  Then after school, I would have popped out 2 more and continued to receive welfare while I was looking for a job (but secretly planning our wedding) and then got married while the gov't picked up the tab, so I could sit back now and enjoy my beautiful house that I was able to afford while I was ripping off everyone else. 

It really burns me when someone tries to get ahead in life by taking from others.  I'm sorry that I don't share in your plight, but what you are doing is illegal. It is fraud, and if you chose to go that route, I hope someone finds out and reports you.  Maybe the gov't wouldn't screw us so much, if so many didn't screw it first.  Shame on you!  

I'm hoping to be able to do this soon.  The company that I work for is going through the process of switching over to digital.  As it is right now I go into the office in the morning to pick up tapes and it's usually 10 a.m. by the time I get home and can start working!  It's killing me to only be limited to about 5 hours that I can work during the day. 

This couldn't have happend at a better time though as I'm starting nursing clinicals in the fall and it's going to be wonderful to be able to get up super early if I need to to get my work done and focus on studying or whatever.  I can't wait! 

First, you can't be all things to all people.  Not meaning to sound nasty or hateful, but with 3 kids under 5, you can't possibly do a good job either as a mother or as an employee.  With 1 kid under 5, possibly; with 2 under 5 maybe, but 3, no way, no how.  I know this because I raised 4.  1 was okay, 2 would be okay but you add the 3rd one (any 3rd one) and POW.  Constant.."he hit me....well SHE hit me first....I hit him because he looked at me,"  I'm sure you know the drill.  If you don't know what I mean yet because of their age, trust me, you will.

You can have the best of both worlds though.  Either hire someone to come in while you are working or put those babies in daycare during your working hours.  You will be there when they need you and you have the flexibility to attend school functions, take an afternoon off to spend with them and just take them to the park, etc. etc.  Plus you can devote full attention to your job during those hours.....well, as much as anyone can, since the majority of people who aren't in the know think we stay home and some nice company just sends us a paycheck every couple of weeks because they like us. And they want to "work"for the same company we "work" for.  :) 

Just to add a funny, I moved once to another state and later learned that thenew neighbors were gossiping behind my back, they KNEW I was having an affair with the UPS driver because he came to my house at the same time every day. hahahaha

Now I'm sure there are going to be mom's who say you CAN do your job with the kids.  I say that if you wouldn't consider taking your very young children to the office and do your job, don't expect to do at home what you can't do at the office.  Adding to your stress at home, who stops and fixes lunches?  Who stops and changes diapers?  Who settles arguments?  dtc. etc. etc.

I told someone before you could work with children underfoot and I'm sure someone will remind me of that so I'll go ahead and explain.  I said you could work with the kids underfoot and you can.....provided you have some help.  Even with help, as the Head MOM you'd still have plenty of interruptions but it wouldn't be continuous.

Call the Spelling Squad on U?
