Another happy bedroom worker...
My only complaint is that my carpet is cold when I step from my bed 2 inches to my computer during my morning commute...
I use an extra bedroom. Just bought a 4 bedroom house so I can have an office, for one reason.
Nice and cheery, sunny, comfortable and a room all to myself! Love my office.
Nope. Not if I'm being paid production.
If I'm being paid hourly I'll do that, but they can't have it both ways. If they expect us to do that, they can pay us for it.
NOPE, took a lot of money, dad paid,
bought, ran to meetings, everything to try to make it work. Multilevel just don't work for the little guy and that's the way they're set up. Try as you might to change the way people think about multilevel, it's possible that a lot of little people already got stung by that bee!
What I do in my bedroom, I don't think of as work, hehehe
:)
Have bedroom only for work place
Sit to where I can see out to the mailbox and my driveway. I have my television in here though and also husband wanted to join me so he has his computer desk right behind me. He could have had his own room but he wanted to be close to his honey. It works out really well.
Nope. We get paid production too. Unfortunately, hourly QA is out the door.
They are fewer and farther between than you could imagine. AND, for those of us who have been fortunate enough to be paid production (I'm one of the unfortunate CBay editors who was fired just before Christmas.)
Since so many of y'all work in the bedroom, here's a link for you.

But how much are the US EDs gonna be paid? Typically this work is paid at 2-3 cpl. nm

Nope, won't work
Microsoft is really cracking down on things like that. You will have to buy another copy of XP if you want to put it on another computer.
What my husband and I did (we each have a computer) is buy one copy of XP which we installed on both computers, then I bought a second copy on ebay that was still sealed in the package, and used only the code that comes with the software (which is visible thru the clear packaging) for my computer. That way, if and when I decide to upgrade, I can still sell the sealed copy of XP on eBay. I'm sure by that time I won't get as much as I paid for it, but at least I will get some return on my investment.
Just a thought.....
Nope...MDI-MD...no work x 2 months!
Nope, cause I only work 32 hrs a week.

After 25 years, nope. Just work. But I used to. nm

10$ late if invoice is not paid within 10 days. At day 15 work stops until invoice is paid. Hardly

Nope. If I wanted to work outside the home, it certainly would not
be typing of any sort.
Nope, hard work and have to prove yourself.
Don't get discouraged though, we have all been where you are at...good luck!!
Nope, I am working exactly the way I always have worked and I always am careful with my work but
lets face it the only way to be certain you are PERFECT is to relisten.
Nope, my computer is owned by the hospital I work for, and does not even

Nope, I don't feel "LUCKY" to be treated like an imbicile by my company. Nope, No way.

For QA consulting I'm paid per hour; QA instructing (college) paid salary, QA editing paid per li
I am an IC and work for two different MTSOs as well as instruct at a business college.
Well, you know, we should be happy just to work at home in our PJs
and pay all their overhead costs for them. That's what we should be thankful for, or so they say.
I work for Spheris, and I'm very happy there. sm
Good accounts, steady work (not counting the holiday slow-downs that all companies go thru), good support, and great people. I'm very happy there and would recommend them to anyone.
I work for them. I am happy. I know that they have a lot of radiology but I
do clinic work. I have plenty of work and get paid well. I do not need benefits as my DH is military, but I have heard that they are average.
Why I'm happy to work at home
Gas just hit $4.03 a gallon where I live, gads. This is reason #342 why I'm so dang happy to work at home. 
Not me - I'm as happy as I've ever been. Plenty of work, more than I can do - I am so lucky. n

I don't work for MQ but you should get paid for
the blank line too because you have to hit a key to get that line (enter).
you should never not get paid for work you do
Does it state that in you contract? If so, leave that MTSO fast.
Every day you work you get paid a sm
certain amount. If you don't have work on a day, you don't get paid. Best to clear that up with the specific physician or service you are working for. Basically, per diem, means per day, but it can be interpreted differently, and you need to know the specifics.
Not paid for work done...
Hi> I am seeking any advice on what to do about not being paid for work done. I have not received a paycheck from the company for two months, 4 payperiods. Now, they will not return my emails and have stopped sending work. Any ideas on how to handle this situation or what to do? Thanks.
Work in the southeast and we got paid for it.nm

If you did work, and were not paid, your state -
Labor Board says she MUST pay you. Or, you can go to small claims court and attach something of value that she owns: car, boat, computer, big-screen HD TV, etc. Being in the hospital is no excuse for an MTSO or anyone else not to pay an employee. You did the work in good faith, now she must pay you for your services.
Are you paid hourly? If so, I'm surprised they allow you to work with such little ones.

I get paid hourly $18.00. The hospital I work at don't believe sm
in production because of the error rate, blanks, etc. just to make money. I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo happy.
Depends on where you work and how you're paid
kj
MTSO I work for, get paid by the line.

I work for 3 docs and am paid by the line
One doc will do 30 lines in 1 1/2 mins. and another will do 30 lines in 7 mins. Quite frankly I hate working for that particular doc. He ummms and ahhhhs and shuffles papers constantly. I definitely feel cheated when I type his charts.
I work for a company that uses templates and we get paid for them. nm

I get paid hourly and I work at home
They expect me to work 7-1/2 hours a day and I do, but they do let me spread it out over the course of the day. I work four hours in the morning, two in the afternoon and the other one and a half in the evening. I can leave and go to an appointment and make that time up in the evenings also. But then again, when I don't have any work I still get paid.
getting paid is showing appreciation for my work. that's all i care about.
who cares if some supervisor "appreciates" me? i'm in it for the money not for someone to "appreciate" me.
Not worth it if you work your fingers to the bone and then never get paid
Good luck
How many hours a day do you work? Are you still paid per gross line?
Not saying I don't believe you. One has to consider too that you have 20 years of experience, that makes a BIG difference in production. I'm about four times faster now than I was when I first started out. Newbies need to consider this too when contemplating MT as a career.
I will challenge the law. I am paid by piece work and that is excluded.
sheesh
I do radiology now, paid by the hour, work from home, can it get any easier than that?
That should highest paid work at home jobs...look at number 7 to see the pic and listing!
That picture sure made me laugh. :)
MT comfort
Sorry to hear of your RA. I know it can be very painful and you are right, we have a job where no one sees us and who cares what we are wearing or where we do our work as long as we are happy,comfortable and productive.
I've never tried working outside but I do like the window open on a nice day to let in the breeze and the sun. Generally work evenings so spend a lot of time outside during the daytime anyway. Often thought of getting an RV and being a mobile MT.
That would be a lot of fun I think as long as you have a good reliable broadband connection and your computer was easily transported. That way you could be a snow bird in the winter and come north in the summer or whatever and do it in the comfort of an RV. RV sales are down though. I wonder why??? 
I also want a living wage for MTs. Don't mind hard work and longer hours, just want to be paid

Does anyone have a Comfort Select bed and if so...how do you like it? nm

Comfort food.

Sleep Comfort Bed
We bought a Select Comfort bed. It is wonderful. My husband had really bad back problems but since getting the Select Comfort he has not had any problems (except when we sleep away from home). He loves it and recommends it to everyone!
Comfort Zone
 Yes -- so true! This board is a comfort zone for MTs new, seasoned and everything in between. I'm so glad it is here and available 24/7. The help and support is wonderful! Nice to know there are people on your side!
