Not to insult you, but also make

in the trash. I always put a note when returning to the doc that the tape is defective. Another thing though - from the old school and working with tapes so much, is that it could be the actual dictation machine the doc is using. You may want to have that checked out as well or he/she may need a new one. All equipment wears out eventually. I have had this happen.

No Insult taken
You guys really have my sympathy. What a mess. Best wishes to you all. Go get 'em!!
How is this an insult?
Yes - insult us all! Go for it!
Although your posts are getting more amusing (and more full of typos) all the time, I'm still rather shocked at your opinion of MTs!
Keeping it realistic? How's this for realistic - its is obvious that you are both sick with jealousy at anyone with a decent line count AND ashamed of the work you do! You have referred to it as slave labor, manual labor, working like a horse, and rant on and on about how its going down the drain, blame the doctors, blame technology, blame anyone with a "stupid" idea, blame everything and everybody. Take a look in the mirror the next time you blame! Good grief, woman, if you hate this work so much go do something else for a living! 
Those of us who enjoy our work and find it profitable really wonder what you think you're accomplishing with all this negativity! You sneer about expanders, you are outraged at the thought of sitting still and working a whole 55 minutes - well that actually works for MANY of us! I take pride in my work and my swelled head matches my swelled paycheck! All the insults in the world from the likes of you can't take it away one bit of my pride, my work ethic, or my whopping line count! So go ahead and "stay down to earth"....your attitude isn't dragging down anybody but YOU!
Truly an insult
You really have no right to interfere. Do you have a psychiatric degree? If so, where is it? You are just a Transcriptionist and have no right to judge a doctors patient or anybody for that matter. You certainly do not get the big doctor bucks, do you? You are no more than a common person on the street calling someone "sick", when you really do not know the facts. What if she was indeed okay and you interfered in her care.
insult to women
Some women ask for it?? What an insult to all women. What never blame the guy?? This young woman was acting like a young woman and partying and meeting guys. In no way, shape or form was her demise/disappearance her fault or her parents fault. get real.
The insult was probably not directed at you then.
You are a "mobile home dweller", not "trailer trash" or a skank. There's a big difference, one you can tell by looking at the home and the person. We have some very nice mobile homes on our block nestled amongst the stickbuilt houses. There used to be four "trailer trash" houses. One of them remodeled and it looks quite nice. Another one moved out, someone bought the lot, sold the trailer, tore up the old foundation, and now they have a really nice big yard. We're still trying to get rid of the other two. If they'd only clean up the junk littering their yards, mow and water once a week, and paint the exteriors, they'd have nice properties. I don't understand why able-bodied people would not maintain their properties to keep or increase the value. Instead, their dumps make the entire neighborhood look trashy. Ironically, there are city laws here that they must mow and they must clean up their junk and abandoned cars. These are the people screaming drunk in the streets at 2:00 a.m. Other people have turned them in to the police repeatedly. Thus, true trailer trash. If I had only known 10 years ago what I know now, we never would have bought this place.
I can somewhat relate to your taking offense. It's the same thing with the dumb blonde jokes. However, I just tell myself that I'm not dumb or dyed, so the remark isn't directed at me. You aren't a trailer trash skank, so the remarks weren't directed at you. You are a very nice, intelligent mobile home dweller.
career insult
Thank you! I have an aunt with the same name . . . Louise. She is my favorite aunt and always in my corner. I just had to say that. I hope your daughter is able to cope better these days. Cerebral palsy is not an easy thing to deal with. And you! To do this type of work and care for another with CP --You deserve a huge pat on the back, hug and so much more. Thank you for your support. I have gotten so much from this board. Bless you!
TOTALLY! (It's an insult!) nm
.
Oh no, certainly not insult. Like the line and
x
not ALL. You doi not know me well enough to insult my integrity
like that.
Ever experience pride in an honest day's pay or a job well done? Fairness? Respect? and don't look at others - these are things you give yourself.
It's called ETHICS...got some?
insult to injury
It is just the Pits! I would not want to work for them if I had any other choice at all. If no one works for them, they will have to change or do it all themselves! Yahoo.
you sure went a long way to insult someone's opinion
Hey this lady didn't ask you to insult sm
her. She asked if anybody had anything that would help her. Obviously she does not agree with what her niece has done, but the crack you made was totally uncalled for. Why can't you have a little compassion for this lady. She just wants some friendly advice, not nastiness. Have a heart will ya?
Family insult about my career
 I need to vent. Hope that is okay. You know we take a lot of abuse from bad dictators, the impossible to please QA, but from family is just too much. I called home to my parents -- big mistake. I was feeling great this week. I have one MT job that I hate and another temp job -- may be will go full-time that I absolutely love. My father asked why I don't get a job! I challenge anyone in my family to try and do what I do! I finished school in 6 months! Had a job before I even finished the course. I have worked my buttock off for the last 2+ years! Yes things are slow now and money is tight. I hate my one account. But heck! Get a job??? I work three jobs, plus take care of two kids and a disabled spouse. Did I deserve this? I cannot work outside the home because I think my family is priority. That is one of the reasons I worked so hard to do what I do. There are days I would love to throw in the towel, but I stay in the game because I don't have any other options right now. There are up sides. I don't spend money for gas. I don't have to drive in bad weather. And I am here for those who need me. So am I such a horrible person? I spend the last two hours crying. I feel like I just got kicked in the gut by a horse.
Family insult about my career
Hi, I know what that feels like so don't feel alone. My daughter (who is now 20 and able to cope better) has cerebral palsy and I opted for this same career for the same reasons (to be near at hand and have grown to love this work) and my late mother always referred to it as "Louise's tin-pot job"!!! Hang in there and write me if you would like to. There is nothing worse than someone denigrating our work. With best wishes: Lou
It's a seafaring insult, though both are similar
guess I'm not so far under the rock after all. Just Google the term... you'll find it.
Ohhh, ty. So it WASN'T an insult {;-)
I've seen the movie, didn't retain that part (obviously). Maybe I should start sniffing glue; it might help!
And adding insult to injury,
I have a few that dictate like they're trying to keep it all a big secret; ironically, it usually sounds like they are trying to keep their voices down so they don't disturb the people having the LOUD conversation 5 feet away! Hello, get a clue! Gaaaah!
Adding insult to injury,
it's IC (independent contract) work with an insultingly low line rate. If I were going to take THAT big a pay hit, it had BETTER have one KICKER of a benefits package attached to it. No, thanks. Don't call me and I won't call you.
In addition to the various fees charged if you don't jump through all their hoops (and they were a bit fuzzy about whether those fees would still be assessed if the failure to complete the required work was THEIR fault not yours, there was also some verbiage in their contract that sounded like they might require you to use a dedicated computer--i.e. you can't use the computer you use for their work for anything else. Naturally, they do not supply this dedicated computer. Excuse me, if I own the computer, I can do whatever I bloody well please with it.
For every US MT insult, there is a position offshored to India
...think about it.
You are so hateful to MTSOs, you drive them to offshore.
When I deal with rude US folks, it reinforces the fact that I don't want to work with those people.
Thanks for the reinforcement! :)
Might be public forum but you don't need to insult people
in "just kidding" or not. Now drop the subject. I accepted your apology, now move on. I will not argue the point with you. It is fruitless.
slinging insults? "grow up" is an insult and antagonzing
nm
Another one from back when it wasn't an insult to be called Secretary
I actually went to a secretarial program at the local technical school. AND I learned Gregg shorthand, but haven't thought about that in a number of years. Boy are you all bringing back memories.
Now everyone is an administrative assistant. Secretary is much easier to say.
Good luck! I just got $0.0010 which means and extra $1 for every 1000 lines - Whoo hoo! Very insult

You spending 3K in gasoline to make 4K plus all that time on the road?That doesn't make sense Pat
How nice that the world revolves around what you make and no one else could possibly make more. sm
Marla in So. California pays 11 cpl for a 55 ccl, Oracle pays 9-1/2 cpl, MDI-MD 11 cpl, JLG 10 cpl for gross line, etc.
Of course, these are rates negotiated and paid to qualified MTs.
When I see mistakes I repeatedly make, I make a quickcorrect for it (sm)
for example if I type we plant o instead of "plan to" I have a quick corrct so that if I type plant o, it replaces it with plan to, etc. It is hard - I was with the same company for 8 years. I do not work for anyone with an accuracy requirement though.
When you make the copay, make them give you a sm
receipt for the amount you pay them. I know they don't like to do this because it takes time, but if you are really stern and insist on a receipt they have to give you one. Then, the next time you get billed for something you already paid, tell them to look for their copy of the receipt and let THEM do the work.
Yes, unfortunately you do have to make a pest of yourself to make it work, but.....
as the years went by that is why I stayed away from those type of companies. BTW, Noni is a fabulous product, I absolutely do not care for the "marketing techniques" they use. One of the facts of this type of industry is you cannot just recruit to make it, you have to retail. Ever since I "overhauled" my techniques and system...I never had to ask another person to some on board again. Well, nuf for now. Take care and have a blessed week!!
lol cut myself off. Anyway, I'll make close to what I used to make with MQ,
ddd
You can't make things worse and could make things better.
The skinny woman may be ill. The guy might not know the dog is a nuisance. Who knows? Maybe it is not as forbidding as it seems and maybe they just need to be asked in a nice way.
What do you make.........?????
Just once, I would like to see some sympathy/empathy on this board instead of arguing. Where are your feelings??????
Make sure
you get $ offer in writing with Transolutions BEFORE you start. AFTER you start they don't remember what they offered you and at that point you are stuck. Benefits are VERY good!
Otherwise, QA has gotten very difficult!. Their platform is VERY, VERY, VERY old - it stinks! And good luck getting a response to questions from anyone in the office!
You might want to keep looking.
YW :) Yup, they sure can make you want to...
... sometimes, that's for sure.
Hang in there 
Make that four.
I've worked for a couple of large nationals. The folks at Amphion are RESPONSIVE and positive. They'll go out of their way to get things done for you (even on a holiday). Very down to earth and appreciative of the people who generate revenue.
And nope, I'm not management, just impressed because I've been management and know that what they're doing works.
You make no
This all began from "no whining" attacking a newbie on here for spelling a word incorrectly. I am sorry, but we all "started" this profession at one time and there is LOTS to be learned, and the English language is ONLY THE BEGINNING! That poor soul that was attacked hasn't returned! Now, you tell me, is that fair?
also,make sure they
know how the other account is counting their "lines" and make them aware that what sounds like a good deal, may, indeed, be costing them more. Good luck to you.
I think I can make your day
I'm presuming that their template is stationery ...
1. Pull the template to the screen.
2. Place a left margin where you want it. The little "L" appears on the ruler.
3. Look at your ruler and you'll see one triangle on top of the other and a box underneath the bottom triangle.
4. Put your cursor on the box, hold down the left mouse button, and drag it to where your margin is (you said 1.75" or 2").
5. Release the mouse button.
You should now be able to type away and nothing will write over what's down the left side of the page.
If this doesn't work, then I think a table is in order, and I can show you how to create one that is visible on the screen but invisible when you print.
Make way more now as an IC of course. nm

Hmm...will it make you really
Angry if I let you know that in Canada we spell it COLOUR, GREY, NEIGHBOUR, etc... I really was not saying whether one should spell it a certain way or not. In fact, since I have lived here I do spell it the American way. My observation was simply that there are plenty of countries that spell it cheque. I cannot believe some of the comments that have been made. I don't often post here as people do seem to be rude sometimes, and I am not likely to do so again.
I want to make that much $$$
HOW?????? are you making that much money? I type 80 to 100 wpm (depends on how I'm feeling any given day), and I am only making MAYBE $32 to $34K per year. I want to make the big bucks. I am good at what I do. I have a word Expander and all kinds of shortcuts. My clients love my work. But I want to know how you all are making that kind of money. Please tell me your secrets.
The only way they will make any $$ is if they
sucker other people into signing up. It is a multi-level marketing thing. Unless they are good sales people and they sign up people who are good sales people it is a waste of time.
IMO QA should make MORE than
and no, I'm not in QA, but seems to me that they have to know and/or understand what the MT doesn't in order to do their jobs, so why don't they make more? They should be hourly, but as I said, just in my opinion.
make your own job
Even owners don't get to work that schedule/hours with that pay So guess you will have to "make" your own job? To pay you what you want in an 8 hour shift, you would still need to produce 2000 lines to bill out to the client so we could have the money to pay you, that is why we do cpl. Like I said, everyone would love that schedule/hours and pay. When you find it, beam up Scotty and let me join you.
Wow, how do you all make that much?
I work about 5 hours a day, five days a week, and I am lucky if I make $1000 a month
Make that DH, please.
:+
Yes but how much do you make?
All of those cushy things are great, but the pay is so bad working at home. I will be making 20 dollars and hour plus benefits plus many many days off, paid holidays, great insurance. I can't make 20 dollars an hour working at home. Do most people? How much an hour do people make working at home and how many hours do you put in?
you just have to make it one of your sm
many priorities. I just started 3 mos ago and have finally decided that it is important to my health, so I have to make time to exercise. Even getting up and doing a bunch of jumping jacks once per hour is better than nothing, but if you can take 30 minutes to walk or do yoga or run or whatever, it will be a good thing for you and might even increase your productivity!
I think they probably look to make sure....
that the company is not paying $1.00 per line and we missed it!
Make a Wish (sm)
 If you could choose between being paid by the hour versus being paid by the line, which would you choose? Why? And how much either method? Just dream a little bit--nothing outrageous, what do you think would be fair to both sides.
Can you get SSI for your son, or is that what you make too
much money for?
