Re: anon posting - here on an open forum it's (sm)
pretty much a "must". And a while back, someone started an online petition about personal information in healthcare records, and even when I sent it to people who were NOT in the healthcare industry, they were afraid to put their actual names out on the internet, and so many of the signatures were "anonymous". Totally WORTHLESS.
Here's one way it might be done: Once a consensus has been reached about an effectively-written form letter, it can be posted so it can be downloaded. The recipient could sign it and send it themselves, and/or send it to one person on the board (who is NOT management, and deemed to be trustworthy, of course) to collect. Or, instead of a long form, letter, it could be a short blurb about "agreeing with and supporting" the letter that has been chosen, and that short form can be affixed to a longer petition.
Anyway, now that I'm confusing even myself, what I mean is, there should be a way so that the "keeper of the petition" has actual, original, handwritten names, not just typed or copied.
Another thing: Many MTs seem to feel that if they supported a national "outing" of what really goes on in this industry, that they could lose their jobs. Maybe there needs to be some sort of a consensus that if anyone who signs loses their job, then we ALL go on strike until that person is reinstated. Food for thought, anyway.
Anyone on this forum working Smarter and not Harder?
I have been in this profession 28 years now; turned 50 this December. Back in the day, I could sit down and type nonstop and be done with my work in 6 to 6.5 hours at 2000 lines. Now it is all I can do to get 1200 lines, and I am working from sun up to sun down. I work a full time employee position and part time IC position. Full time consistently running out of work, so first of year, I will be subcontracting full-time, but will also keep the part time IC position- just so I don't have all my eggs in one basket. What is the key to working less and making more?
You can't just open the attachment. You need to save it to a file and then open SM
your wave player and load it.
You not only posted on this forum, but another forum asking for
advice, not once, but at least twice, panic stricken. If you didn't want the advice you shouldn't have asked and you surely shouldn't have come back her bashing people for their advice. We are not medical professionals. It could have just as easily been something serious and because of the lack of $$ you didn't go to the ER and you'd be singing a different song today.
Get a Grip
Receiving your pay 30 days after you provided work isn't a problem for you? I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly couldn't wait 30 days. On top of that, when they begin to pay you every 2 weeks - they pay you for work you did 4 weeks prior. You forgot to tell them that part! Breitner is NOT a good place to work --- unless you don't need money and only work for the heck of it!
get a grip!!!!!
Yes, we have all seen on the news where that has happened. usually it is because there is something wrong with the dog like a tumor or something. Some breeds of dogs are also very aggressive. I think that if you choose a good breed that is good with kids and train them correctly and treat them with love, you are pretty safe. i have been around dogs all my life, even as a young child and have never even been bitten by a dog once!!!
Seriously!!! Get a grip.
"Me" is right.
get a grip...
She asked for some tips. Just wanted other peoples advice of how to go about doing this and what would some of the best points be to go into. You try giving a speech to a bunch of high school kids. Harder than you may think I am sure. What is the harm in someone asking for pointers?
You must not have a grip to be a tad rude by
saying get a grip people. I still do not believe it. Show me the money and only then will I believe it. Also, when I get offered more than 6-9 cpl for straight transcription will I believe it.
grip? lol you mean "gripe"? lol
?
let her decide. she already has a grip on
the passing away part but that doesn't mean she is ready for the open casket and long viewing hours at the funeral home. this way she can still picture grandma how she was and not in the casket which can be a little unsettling for adults sometime. if she wants you guys to take her to the grave site sometime to say her goodbyes then take her. i remember writing a so called goodbye letter to my grandfather when i was a kid telling him about all of the things i'll always remember and loved about him. that way i was able to get out my feelings and i still have something to look back and read so i'll never lose my (all of it anyway) memory of him.
Get a grip - EMRs have nothing to do with
You are a perfect examply of why MTs are losing their jobs. Ignorance in the MT field has become more and more widespread in this country WITHOUT leaving the United States.
Was probably thinking she needs to "get a grip," too.
x
I'd say you need a grip. This is exactly why fewer MTs are commenting on here
They get blasted and basically reprimanded for giving an opinion. How about some common courtesy.
yeh, we have to have a tight grip on our social graces
We'll start walking around wanting to backhand everyone who looks at us sideways. 
help on word board grip strength

I'm OK! I got a grip and went back down to wait for the Limo! I am not reading ANY more of
"those" posts! Nope! Notta one!
How long would you say it takes to get a decent grip on them. I do have samples already I have read
over and they arent hard but I havent heard the voices yet.
How do I get it ST to open when escription is open?
forum
People around the coast are being interviewed and are using the slogan from the civil war "the South will rise again" - ick.....that was a "Confederate" slogan....Just caught up.....
Forum only ...sorry
:-)
They don't ban you from 1 forum and not another!
Believe me, I know!! Probably just some temporary glitch in her settings. This sounds familiar, and I can't remember how someone said to fix it. But she wouldn't be able to post for help if she were banned!
Went on another MT forum (will not
name names) and saw work wanted postings for MTs in India. Don't know how I feel about this. All I do know is that I don't want my job outsourced like so many other jobs. The other MT forum is supposedly not an Indian forum, but they seem to let the Indian MTs post on it. I won't comment on there because I don't want to be called a bigot. Just worried about my job is all. Can't type for 2 cpl and buy groceries.
because its an MT forum.

Which forum?
Under which forum do I post that I am looking for work? . I looked under "Job Seekers" but that doesn't seem to be the correct one, or am I misreading it? Thanks.
why don't you go to the IT forum? sm
their tech support is fabulous and they usually respond same day. They have their own forum at http://textware.com/board/itmainforum/index.html
No need to just be frustrated... they will help you do something about it.
If you are familiar with this forum at all
then you should have enough insight to realize that posting such vague information without any shred of credibility will get you a less-than-desired response.
Either way, even if it IS true - what kind of friend shares such an important secret? What kind of employee leaks information?
Hope I'm asking in right forum. sm
How much would you charge for a "normal" report? Had a GYN doctor ask me that. She wanted a special rate for normal reports. I said that I would charge whatever the line count came up with. Sometimes they adjust their "normals" and add on, and then I would not consider it a normal. If they did not, what would you charge?
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Stay away from MQ forum! LOL...nm
Yes, they own the forum you are posting on.
Look way down at the bottom of the page.
on job search forum
There are usually companies on there begging for op notes people.
There is a forum for Pets under
If there is a board for a particular topic, the topic is supposed to be taken to that board. I will be emailing the Administrator.
The MT forum that went to a pay site has
weekly updates, at least they used to. I haven't been to it since it became a pay site.
Job listing on a different forum for
a very, very good hourly salary base, plus shift differential, etc. I wonder why some places pay so well and others (especially working at home for a transcription service) seem so cheap.
Oh, get OVER it. This is an online forum,

There was an offshore forum before

Go to the IT main forum sm
it states there is a work around until the next revision comes out, right there under announcements.

Moderator, what's going on with this forum?
It's often down lately and I haven't been able to access it for a day or so. Just wondering what the problem is?
Ok which forum board did the ...sm
post go to about whether the illegals would leave with the state of the economy? I have checked the Gab and the political. What gives? Did it just disappear? Huh?
Send her to the CS forum.
Before she signs up for the course, she can get a guest pass to view the forum. She can see what really happens after graduation. Many grads now are having a hard time finding a job. Some graduated last year and are still job hunting. Of those who do find jobs, many are working for 4-5 cpl, which there is no way you could make decent money at that rate.
I wonder what "graduates" told her they were making $60,000 a year. Probably affiliates looking to gain commision off selling the program.
That forum is too scattered &
I need things laid out in steps and explained to me like I am 2 LOL
This forum makes me HUNGRY!!
I wish I had some kind of rotating dinner thing where I visited a different one of you each night for dinner!!!
You all must be super cooks!
On another forum they were talking about the people
There are over 50,000 people packed in there. If the structure holds, and that's a big if, the bottom level will flood. The upper level is 35 feet high so all those people will have to be on one level. The problem is magnified with 50,000+ people, the possibility of no electricity, no air conditioning, no food or water as the dome has not been designated as a diaster shelter previously. It will basically become a giant indoor swimming pool isolated as an island. It will be days before rescue can happen. I shudder to think what they will find when this is all over.
Is there a new format on Forum Section
or am I the only one experiencing this....
about two or three days ago, I've noticed that when I go to the main board, other forum or topic options were not listed on the blue portion of the page, and it feels weird to go back to the home page every time I want to change topic/section.
check the emotiondepression forum
I read a post like that on the emotiondepression forum.

I mean love the new forum page.

Regarding the Forum Matrix boards
I have often read and posted things that now don't belong on the main board because I like to hear what other MTs have to say. I like other MTs and I trust their opinions because we are in the same line of work. I don't post on the Forum Matrix boards because they don't seem to be MTs. Maybe I'm wrong. JMHO.
ya got that right - web bulletin/forum boards.NM
