I agree with you to an extent about threatening with that, and I have informed family members that could be done if he does not get help and endangers them in some way. They of course say they know, I think they are trying to handle it without hurting the kids any further. He has not physically hurt them just scared them which is bad enough! Thanks

sorry, I did not mean that to sound so harsh...
I am just frustrated...
that doesnt sound right. I have downloaded mine I know 5 times
Maybe you should talk to a different person.
You should be able to download the player again with your password. I have had mine for 5 years and never had any problem reinstalling it. I know I have installed mine 5 times.
Wow! That's harsh! What did any of them ever
do to you? I hope you never lose your home, neighborhood, possessions, friends, family, and everything else these people no longer have. Why do you think they're losers? Is it because they lost everything? Or is it because you're a racist and a snob?
Please don't be harsh on me, but if you are so SM
concerned, why don't you work for MT company that provides health insurance? I realize that all health insurance options are not affordable, but you can try. Anything would be better than going without, espcially if you are older.
Yes, harsh
Yes, it was harsh. Better to leave a blank than make a mistake.
PS - I have been transcribing on and off for 10 years and I don't think I have ever typed "ov" - ever.
Harsh.
How is this stupid?
It would be way cheaper to hire 2 (even 3) part-time transcriptionists to do the work that I do because they wouldn't have to pay for benefits, wouldn't have to pay the bonus (most likely the part-timers could not meet the bonus criteria), probably wouldn't even pay them as much for a base line rate, and they wouldn't have to pay OT. How is that not a valid question?
I think you are being very harsh...sm
There is absolutely no reason for you to be so mean! Now how was the OP supposed to know the difference. She's a newbie! It's people like you who make others afraid to ask questions in fear of being called out for not knowing any better! Go take your anger out on a punching bag or a friggin mile-long walk or something. There is no need to be so rude!

AND how dare you down-play the certificate that the OP received after working so hard to complete it. There are a lot of people out there who don't even have "JUST an MT certificate of completion" and are doing just fine in this profession. There is no need to be so rude!
I don't think it was harsh at all sm
I'm a legit CMT and I really cannot stand when people call themselves certified when they are not. I would think if someone had been in school they would know the AHDI by now and have done some research on that organization and certification. Not knowing is no excuse. If she says she is certified on a resume and someone checks (very easy), she will be looked at as a scammer.
wow, that's harsh...this is some truth (sm)
to this, but I personally love my job with MW. Yes, sometimes there are problems but that is true everywhere. I have a very supportive team leader and enjoy sitting down to work every day, and make a very good living doing it.
sounds a little harsh
Study time can be a wonderful bonding time. If you take the time to sit down with a child/teen, it shows you are interested in their progress and you may give them study ideas they didn't think of. To just tell them to do it on their own I think is rather harsh and gives the impression that you aren't interested. When mine ask me questions, even if it's something I don't know anything about, like calculus, I'll tell them to pull up a chair and then research it and do my best to come up with an answer. It's just invaluable time you can spend with a child. Mine always had chores from the time they could walk, like putting up their clothes, and all 4 know how to cook, clean, do laundry, and each gets a specific job each day. Education has always been #1 - studying and learning before anything else but not made to be like a punishment.
My third son, a senior now, had an assignment in physics. I rented physics videos from netflix and we watched those and discussed them and looked up stuff on the net and most importantly, we talked the whole time. They constantly come in to where I work and talk to me, about anything and everything, to share something they learned at school, something they found out on wikipedia, etc. If they come to you for help, take the time to give it, it's not just helping with homework, it's giving them a feeling that what they do matters.
That's a little bit of a harsh assessment, IMO.
I'm no prima donna, either, but I think anybody with a clerical background would be surprised to get an offer for dishwashing, to say the least. I would have been shocked. Not insulted, just extremely surprised to be offered such a different position than the one I was qualified for.
When I entered the workforce 20 years ago, I actually tried for a job like that and didn't get it; they said with what college I had, I was overqualified! I didn't care, I just wanted to work; but they wouldn't talk to me. The scenario the OP describes is so different from my experiences that I too would be shocked if it happened to me.
That's pretty harsh
Frankly, I was interested and have the requisite experience (currently doing the work for a pediatric teaching hospital). But then I hit the part about once monthly pay and waiting 2 months for that first check. While there may be someone on here who has enough free time to work 2 months without seeing any benefit and is only taking the job to get that Coach bag they've had their eye on, most of us who would consider taking a part-time job aren't taking it to fill our down time; we're taking it to put food on the table.
Harsh and angry? No, I am sad and and distressed for them.
berate: Verb - censure severely or angrily.
censure - harsh criticism.
I accept them as one of God's precious creations, born with a sin nature, just like me. I never know when someone who rebukes me for gentle sharing of what Jesus has done for me may actually be saying that they wish somebody would take the time and interest in them to explain what they do not understand. For example, a person who has only seemed offended previously may one day turn to me and ask me if they have sinned too much for God to forgive them. And I can tell them how Jesus can save them. Sometimes it happens and then we rejoice.
Wow that's kinda harsh- it seems to me its the opposite
from what I have seen it seems like the seasoned MTs resent the Newbies- I have seen no sign of it being the other way around, which I would actually even understand considering the nastiness they run into on this board.
I don't think anyone thinks their having completed an MT course puts them on a par with someone who has been doing it for years- they simply want to be given a chance. So you were trained on the job- good for you. But thank God there are training courses out there now so that people come in with at least some knowledge.
And there is nothing wrong with not wanting to work every single weekend and every single holiday. Where I work everyone has to work at least one weekend day, newbies and seasoned alike. There are only a couple who have been here so long that they have monday-friday days due to seniority. Everyone here has to work at least 12 hours of holidays a year,no matter who you are or how long you have worked here. I don't mind working holidays so that people with families can have them off. I don't see why someone should get stuck with all the scut work just because they are new.
That's harsh. Hardly anybody is paid hourly in this field
It's all production pay. It's not theft to get your line quota in and knock off for the day. Why should the fast ones be penalized for being good? Why should they have to do more work than the others? You can't fire somebody for meeting their contracted production in a timely manner.
Atkins was too harsh for me, but SouthBeach was really good.
if you are one who has problems tolerating Atkins. I got severe migraines and had to quite for a while, but then I started SouthBeach and did much better on it.
Best of luck whichever way you decide to go!
Jojo
kinda harsh?...it's downright ridiculous.

I know this sounds harsh and probably will get slammed by this board, but I would tell him that if
he does not check into a formal rehab program that you are going to call Social Services and have them check about having his children removed. These kids are too young to be in the situation of "taking care of daddy," and there could potentially be serious consequences. There could also be more serious complications with his head injury that may be surfacing along with his drinking.
What a harsh thing to say.....it is sad for any mother to lose a child

Harsh. I guess in your book, quality inspectors
in widget factories don't have real jobs, either.
I'm positive your QA people don't have any beef with you whatsoever as long as you are creating something real QUALITY.
QA people are under just as much stress as the rest of the MT world.
I think I would look for another job. Doesnt seem right

High IQ doesnt = good MT.

Link doesnt say if this can be done at home.

Above poster doesnt know how to use antibark
My dogs quickly learned when they had collar on and what that meant. They didn't bark. Take collar off when you want them to alert you. Believe me, they know the difference between collar on and collar off. Mine even knew the difference between dead battery and charged battery. When they would bark with collar on, I knew it was tiime for recharge.
Then hope your boss here doesnt end up

9pin doesnt work for me
There are issues with it stopping and starting. The USB works best in V8. I work in V8 and V6 still so I have both pedals :(
I still use 2. It looks better and doesnt get confused with abbr. periods.
I wouldnt change to 1 unless the AAMT Book of Style rules on it and I dont believe they have. I could be wrong on that. If anyone knows, please let me know.
Another thing I have noticed people doing is not putting a comma before the and in a list. I was always taught to use the comma but some people dont.
advil doesnt touch mine
I used to get this all the time it drove me crazy. It felt like a constant burning band. I was hold my arms up by my neck and shoulder. Is there anyway you can find something to support your arms while you type? I bought a chair with arms, and i put a 2 x 4 board across the arms and rest my elbows on that and let my fingers do the work, not my neck. I also have a split keyboard. When the pain was severe, like yours, I would get up and put a warm wash cloth and sort of massage it into my neck every couple of hours while stretching, and then apply some icy hot so it really penetrated into it. As a poster stated, xanax works and anything that relaxes the muscles, Soma, or Flexeril, ativan, buspar (antianxiety), on top of the massage, heat n stretches. I also cut out the coffee and sugar because i'm an anxious person and I clench constantly. That should get you through until you find away to rest the arms while working. I know with this job, one part of our body will suffer, either arms, wrists or hand joints, even neck and shoulder. I wish they'd invent something to take the strain off of every muscle for us gals who have to sit here day after day! Anyways, I feel your pain, hang in there.
Is there any spyware you can use that doesnt interfere with all your other programs at all. I have
XP and service pack 2 etc etc just about all the programs you can have and Norton so dont know if they have Spyware in them or not. I have office also.
I wouldnt go get him. Just treat him tonight even if he doesnt have it
That may keep him from getting it. Head lice is a nuisance but not hard to get rid of. I wouldnt sweat it. You should change their sheets, etc...
I disagree...just because you are in a certain profession doesnt mean you cant have time off..sm
My mom has been an RN for over 40 years now and I have several family members in some of the other professions you mentioned above. A certain profession does not mean you have to work certain days/holidays. If you have vacation time you are entitled to use it whenever you wish. I used to work in a physicians office for 10 years and I always put my vacation time in for my two weeks in December in January. Other employees put their time in for summer. So while they are out having fun with their time off in July I am not crying and moaning because they are having fun in the sun while I work to cover them. It is the same thing no matter when your time off is scheduled. It has nothing to do with what field you work in. If you want time off at Christmas be a little more organized and schedule your time off way in advance. And no I dont think I am the only one with a family who would like to be off for the holidays. I just make it a priority to take my vacation at that time. You enjoy your time when you want and I will enjoy my time when I want.

I think they will see these newbies run faster and harder than we ever did if something doesnt suit.

Do you honestly think MQ doesnt send work to India, etc.

I guess it depends on which office you get switched to now doesnt it.

Why dont you stick your $1.18 where the sun doesnt shine lady.

I think it is a 65 character line without spaces but doesnt that mean you have to type a lot more to
get your lines in so you really arent making 9.5 cpl in fact right. I am not sure I understand when you dont get paid for spaces how much you really lose from that. Is it 20% a report or what percentage do you lose. If a report is 100 lines with spaces then what do you really get paid for on those 100 lines without spaces. I think that is what I mean. I am just tring to figure out how much longer you have to work to get your lines in at 1000 lines a day without spaces versus 1000 lines a day with spaces. Seems it would take quite a bit longer.
