So, thus far NONE of us transcriptionists, ICs and employees alike, have received pay from D&L.  We have had the PA Labor and Industry Board on their asses - they received over 40 complaints about D&L in a 24-hour period.  The owners are saying now that they are going to have everyone's checks sent by week's end...the COUNTLESS people who had bounced checks from D&L first, the employees second, and us ICs third.  IF ANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN THEIR ADS AND APPLIED, BEWARE!!!  THEY REGULARLY BOUNCE CHECKS, THEY DON'T PAY YOU FOR YOUR WORK, AND THEY LIE AND CHEAT PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MONEY.  After all the negative messages posted here and elsewhere about this company, if you read this and still go to work for D&L, you deserve to get screwed as badly as you most assuredly will. 

I caught the tail end of the report, but wasn't exactly sure what they were talking about so switched to an AM news station.  By that time the second plane had hit and the reporter at the scene was practically hysterical, saying, "You're not listening to me.  Another plane just hit the second tower!" 

Then while my car was being worked on, the TV in the waiting room was on CNN or one of those channels and I watched at least the first tower fall from there and just remember thinking "I can't believe this is happening."  I guess I was in shock, because I didn't cry until the memorial service at the National Cathedral was televised several days later.

self-proclamed freelance writer for a while low. I have quite a few topics I am working on, Christian-based, geared towards women.  I had to write a letter stating my credentials (I have a few, believe it or not), future topics, experience, etc.  I feel very positive about my letter. It took all day to write.

I just pray this pans out.  I eventually want to write a book. That's been a life-long dream. I love to write. I've avidly kept a journal for over 25 years, keep an on-line blog, read every day, and writing just comes naturally for me.  Also, I outlined my editing experience, so hopefully that will help!

I will let you know what they say! Keep your fingers crossed....I want to get out of the MT business so bad...It's been a blessing, but I would LOVE to get paid by doing what I love doing.....Sharing my shallow thoughts and life's secrets to other women through the use of story telling and faith-based philosophy!

I just saw on CNN (which is NOT my news station of choice, now I remember why), that people in other countries feel bad for the people on the Gulf, but they figure it is "our fault"  because it is because of global warming and that global warming is the fault of the United States.  Please.  I was wondering when President Bush would start getting the blame for the hurricane.  I guess it won't be long now.

Please, tell me more?!!

seminars before, and I'll admit it is frustrating.  It's what makes your friends and family members think you have a cake job and anyone can do it.  But in all reality, most people that hear those ads and go to those seminars don't really buy into that.  And even if they do, they soon realize they've been had.  I encourage those who think my job is a cake job to go those seminars.  Not only does it give them false hope, it also wastes about 3 hours of their time.  Serves 'em right for thinking I have it so easy.

I had a coworker (in the office where I temp) who went to one of these seminars and she actually thought she could do it since she was a physical therapist assistant and had some medical background.  I told her she might be okay if she sticks to orthopedics or physical medicine, but otherwise I doubted it.  She was miffed that this company held this seminar and wasted her time as well.  She ended up working per diem for a nursing home as a PTA to bring in extra money, realizing MTing wasn't something she could "just do for extra money".  Satisfaction.

I know they could care less about us, we're just numbers/slaves to them, but why don't they get a little integrity for the business, make us happy for once, in turn improving quality and giving themselves a good name, and pay by the hour while we learn this technology at least.  How can any company cut pay across the board like that and get away with it?

Do you think anyone would ever be on their death bed, surrounded by loved ones and say, "I wish I had spent more time working."  Doubt it.  My kids are grown now, and the good memories for them are the ones I didn't think were so great.  Like the time we lived in an apartment building in the Northeast, had all our Christmas decorations in the storage room in the basement, and someone stole them.  We made all our own that year with aluminum foil covered cardboard and strung popcorn.  Not even any lights, couldn't afford them.  They to this day call that tree their Charlie Brown tree.  That's just one of many "little memories" that may not seem like much when they are happening, but it's the things they remember.   

ESL?  True?  And bad dictation.  Just curious.

Thanks

I have to wonder about compatibility issues and what operating system or platform it is being used on.  If the platform is proprietary even if it uses Word, it may be a stripped version of Word.  If that is the case, this would make ST not act properly as it was only intended to work with an full version of Word...that is what makes me keep coming back to it not working properly with Word.  If you have to correct things on Tools, it is a compatibility issue with Word.

The only known issue I was aware of was that once Stedman took over ST and Word went to 2003, ST has expansion and crashing issues because of an upgrade that Word made causing compatibility issues within ST.

My best advice is to go directy to customer service or perhaps locate B. Grow and ask her advice.
