Hundreds of thousands
Told to us by this lying administration that has been discredited, this administration who has lied to us many times in the past five years..Yes, Saddams administration did kill but so have we..We are worse than Saddam..We have killed tens of thousands of INNOCENT Iraqis, we have invaded a soverign state which caused no harm to us, we also due to our immoral illegal war have caused over 1,700+ Americans to die, also thousands more maimed and emotionally destroyed..We are the monster we removed..Bush equals Saddam..They are equal..They are in essence brothers..
Hundreds of docs
Me, too! I just want to cry when people talk about being able to set up templates because I may not get the same doc again for weeks, if not months, let alone skipping from immunology to hepatology to dermatology to cardiology to neurology (pant pant pant, too much skipping) and then to several other specialities as well. Jack of all specialities, master of none. Sigh.
I am on only 2 accounts, I have hundreds
of expanders, and create templates for the doctors that say the same things (physicals, op notes, etc) and I try to work for 2 hours at a time without taking a break. Plus, my MTSO has an excellent platform to work with.
Nope, me and hundreds of other MTs. You obviously no not what you're
posting about! Compare me to Clinton, fine with me! I'm not sticking my neck out for hanging by explaining anything in detail to you! If I did, I would be "nutz"! Again, nuff said. You are STILL alone out here! Bye!
I do hundreds of different docs. Not a problem.
Maybe because I've always had a knack for understanding foreign accents since I was a kid. Why I don't know. Maybe because I was an "Army brat" until I was about 6 years old and my dad would always tell stories and jokes in different accents and I have relatives in Canada, both French and Scottish.
Whatever it is that makes me understand, I still have a problem with the docs that sound as if they're halfway through a bottle of scotch and then get to ROS and turn into Speedy Gonzales and do the whole ROS in one breath.
If you've been an MT as long as I have (going on 20 years, ugh) you can pretty much figure out what they're going to say anyway and know enough to leave the "S" of "Patient(s) is a 20-year(s) old male.
Hundreds - all acute care too! nm

when I post a job, I get literally hundreds of responses
- that's without offshore-- and people with good skills and experience are willing to work anywhere from 18 cpl to 12 cpl to 6 cpl. So I would say yes, the field is becoming increasingly more competitive
That was hundreds of thousands of WELL-WRITTEN and WELL EDITED letters
.
You seem to forget the HUNDREDS of thousands Saddam killed, execution style.

Excuse me but federal taxes are paid as employee by employee
The ONLY difference in IC is you pay the ENTIRE amount of the SS which is the 15.25%, as an employee you only pay 7.75%. And you can easily make up that difference in deductions. As an employee you just have someone else manage your withholdings and as an IC you do it yourself. I have much more usable income being an IC and not an employee and I am strict about putting aside what I need to. But everyone always says you have to pay your own taxes, well your employer does not PAY them for you -- except 7.75% of SS, they merely withhold it for you. As an IC you are the employer.
M-TEC has a Basic program (12 month) and a Premier program (18 month). To WAH, you should take the P
:)
Yes, I'm sure an any problem always involves hundreds of ants, but it's still an ant problem.
How funny.
You an IC, statutory employee or employee?
That designation, and/or forcing the IRS to designate you, can make a diff. Are you a corporation? Partnership? You need WAY more help than we can give you.
If you are employee, unless suit against your employee
otherwise the posts on here as far as I can see telling it like it is. I think a lot of the posts are so young they just don’t have a clue as to what it means to be an employee. You do as your employee wants (I am talking reason now, not stupidity as far as sexual advances, etc) or else you find another company that fits your personality better. You do not confront, you do not tell your employee no, that is their job, not yours. This is such a simple thing for people who have been in the work force for any period of time.
1 month and you?
A month - and you?
We have had it for a month. All 5 of us
at one time or another tested positive for Strep. Only got well after antibiotics. But it lingers and flares up for weeks. Our entire town has it, and all for weeks and weeks - actually since Halloween.
If it has been less than a month,
you're probably still on probation, which works both ways. I would review the policy and speak to a supervisor before they invest any more time in training, etc. If you're professional and polite, it will work out.
Since one never knows whom they'll encounter down the road, try to make a graceful exit. Good luck.
I'm 30. 31 next month....
See update below.
a month...
I type 24 hours a week. I am new though and only get paid 7 cents a line right now. Would love to make more too!
$9,500 per month
Oh, I don't like to post my earnings here. It is such personal information. And I have you all beat cuz I make 19 cents per line.
My 18 month old was saying....

A month? I do!

how is $288/month better than $57/month?

I got one about a month ago.
It's been all right so far. It was not my first choice, but I needed a laptop in a hurry and didn't want to spend a lot, and Gateways were on sale at Best Buy, so that's what I got. If I had had more time, I would have chosen a Dell or HP, but the Gateway seems all right. A colleague mentioned that his son's school uses Gateway laptops and have been happy with them, so it's probably a safe choice, if you can find one at the right price.
One month
I took one month off, but wish I would have taken a little longer.
I have been looking for about a month
and finally I got 2 offers, but 1 company I've heard nothing about and the other I've heard good and bad things about. I really need to be working and don't know what to do. It's a bad time for everyone it seems.
as of June, I'm at 47,000 and that was with one month off!

Is it just me? Started DQS at MQ last month
and although I've read over and over that MTs that start on DQS start loosing lines, I swear my production has gone up. For the first couple of weeks, it stayed a little less than normal, then I was moved onto a NEW acct on DQS and I'm always a little amazed how many lines it says I've managed to squeeze out.
Don't get me wrong--not happy about many things going on with this company, and I'm a little nervous. I'm just a mere SE with not much say in anything. But the line thing, it's been OK for me.
I agree, especially with a 6 month f/u. SM
Can you call the office and ask the doctor call you back to explain the findings?
Thanks. You know, we have been OUT OF WORK for over a month.
the moment is hard.
And, ha ha, nothing with MQ is fast anymore anyways. I bet I haven't made over 120 lines an hour in 3 months. I get bad reports nonstop. NONSTOP.
It would have been decent of them to have said it was an option instead of pretending like it was mandatory. Especially since they know we are broke out here from having no work. And believe me they know we have had no work.
Oh well, just another reason why I can't stay in MT after all these years. Why do I want to keep "giving" it away.
I adore it. Have had it about a month...
...and it's now the only keyboard for me. I've always used ergo keyboards, but this one has totally negated the pain that I'd get even from those. I use the "booster" part that goes in the front--which seems to be the key, along with the more canted angle of the board. Thank you Microsoft!
Well, I actually pay close to $700 a month..
for health insurance, so wouldn't affect me much. The company will still be based in Houston though. They just have another location in Florida. The gas sounds promising. I was wondering how much for food. How much for bread, milk, etc. Just to get an idea. So far, it just sounds like the homes are what is real expensive there. The gas is comparible to Houston. How much do you pay for home insurance per year? In Texas, the ratio is usually something in the range of you buy a house for $140,000, your monthly bill would be around 1,400 for everything, taxes included. The homes here going for around $130,000-$160,000 look comparable to the homes ranging $260,000-$300,000 there. That is a huge difference.
Only been there a month, but have not ran out of work yet.. more than enough.
Maybe it depends on your account. I have only worked on one account and this one has plenty of work. I have not ran out at all.. usually, the account is even a little behind..
I have a 9yo shih tzu and an 9-month-old
Lab/retriever mix. Beautiful babies!!
5000 a month
It is actually quite possible to do. I work for a small transcription business and one of our transcritionist averages $1900 to $2000 a week. She takes advantage of her ESP/shortcut program and makes templates for everything. So it can be done.
$9500/month
Well, I for one do not believe anyone pays 19 cents a line. I would need to see proof of that in writing as I think it is a bunch of a bologne!
$9500/month
Well, no wonder, you live out in the East Coast area which is way more expensive to live, so that I can believe.
Try asking for a 1 month deferment.

32 next month one child age 6
I am 31, 32 next month and I am divorced with a precious son who is 6
My 18 month old is eaten up with it!
She literally has it everywhere! She has tried every topical cream by prescription there is and they don't even touch it. Recently, her doc gave me samples of Cetaphil lotion and body wash and those have been the best thing she has ever used. It is in the lotion section at most stores. I have learned that certain things make it flare up worse at times; like food touching her skin (of all things). I read somewhere that even being upset can cause it to flare up. It is so bad that she cries and says "itching" several times a day.
Her doc told me that they will not be prescribing Elidel or Protopic anymore because they might cause cancer. Just thought I would tell you that in case your son is on either one of those.
Let me know if you find a magic cure for it!
I use Qwest - $25 a month. nm

yes, but how old are you that you can get individual ins for $59/month?

I don't know..... I know many MTs making that in a month....
but in their jammies, don't have to fuss with the makeup and only have to leave the house to go shopping! Oh, and they still get the write offs.
In this month's issue of
Advance, there is an offering for quite a nice prep kit.
What to do for mid-month cravings?
Help, ladies! I am 42 and am finding myself having major mid-month cravings now. I am not overweight and keep in good shape through diet and exercise, but come mid-month of my cycle all you-know-what breaks loose! It has become nothing to buy and eat a bag of chips, a large chocolate bar, and then go prowling around my house for something else "bad" to eat. After a few days I feel back to normal, but I really feel out of control for a few days a month now. Any suggestions? 
miserable the last month or so?....nm
Oregon too...$160 last month....
everything electric, no A/C (live in the Coast Range, don't really need it) but have an electric fence that is always on to keep the horses in and the usual appliances, etc. It was only $63 for May, but we were gone on vacation for the month so no hot water use, etc. Got an energy efficient washer and dryer a couple of months ago, has really helped out the bill too.
I use SimpleFTP....$6 month for 50 MB.....nm

I only made it a month
And I was batty by the end of it, as soon as the new co cut me loose I quit the other. I'm a single mom with 2 teenage kids (boys) and a couple of dogs. So the house was a reck and now it will take me a month to get back in order. But on the up side I did lose 14 pounds cause I never had time to eat :-) I quit last week and a one ton weight has been lifted off my back. I feel great only working 1 job
She posted this because about a month--sm
ago, there was a posting about someone doing 3000 lines a day and there was quite a few others that really doubted it and said that it was impossible to do. (The poster that said they did 3000 lines a day was me) and I really got blasted by others and saying that I was either lying or stretching the truth. This went on for days, so I think the OP was involved in all of that and was just trying to correct some of the ones that were saying it was impossible. Where were all you guys when I needed your support then, that are getting 3000 lines a day or more???? lol. I felt so alone!!
