unacceptable. I have grandchildren who know better and act a whole lot more well-mannered at ages 3 and 4. The docs were laughing and having a good time at making me sick.. I couldn't believe it either.

Yeah, that's what I thought, too.
Working three fulltime jobs at 40 hours per week is 120 hours. There are 168 hours in a week. That leaves 48 hours for sleep, eat, shower, life. Ugh. Not worth it.
yeah, I thought it was low too see msg
especially since it is not for the MTSO. It is clinic, not hospital, so that is probably part of the difference. I know someone on the hospital side and I had thought she said 13 and 7 for pay, which is the reason I even started this whole process of interviewing. Then I go to the interview and she tells me 9 and 4.5. So... I may just stick with what I'm doing, I can probably make more just doing that...
Thanks
Yeah, I thought of just replacing
not be worth the cost. I guess I could try and goggle a source for an inexpensive one.
Wow, your crockpot sounds great! I'll have to look around before I buy.
Yes, apparently it's too much to ask that people simply not respond to topics they have no interest in rather than get snarky. So thanks for your post!
Yeah, I thought so too. She has just changed her name. nm

Hi...Yeah, I thought it was too. I am going to try calling tomorrow.
And I absolutely love the feel of the Kinesis Freestyle Solo keyboard! I am not gonna give it up so easy. If all I did was straight transcription, there would be no problem at all. It's just I also do VR and use the arrow keys and delete a lot, and the delete key is too far away.
I could never go back to my old Microsoft keyboard. Now I KNOW why my wrists and fingers ached so much. You don't realize it unless you have a keyboard like this kinesis freestyle to compare it to! The keys are low-force and boy does it make a difference! Plus I love how the two halves separate so you can find just the right angle for you PLUS change it from time to time to avoid staying in any one position too long. I can type nonstop for hours with no pain now. When I tried to go back to my microsoft (just to do ASR) my hands ached with the very first touch! I tried the Maxim, which is has a bit better feel than the microsoft but nothing near the kinesis freestyle.

Yeah, thats the Next Big Thing...
 We shall be asked to pay THEM for the privilege of working for them! Too funny! Well, not really....ARGH.   
Oh Yeah, me too! I love the Queen! I hadn't thought of her, but she'd be great. nm

Yeah, I was taught the same thing in typing
some 30 years ago, but since my employer prefers it that way, then I will do it; after all, they pay me to do the job the way they want it. It doesn't mean I have to agree that it is correct, but that's just the way it is. 
Yeah, probably because that would be the SMART THING to do! Sheesh!

Thank you!!!!! Oh yeah, if this transcription thing doesn't
work out I'm gonna open a side business selling keyboards.
hahahahahha.

I thought the same thing
Stating that they should be 18 or even 21 to drive but then is letting her 14-1/2 yo drive. WHAT???????
I thought the same thing ...
I see no problem in it. I agree with your thinking!!! I might even try a pair too. :)
One thing that I thought was...
As an IC, it is actually better to work for more than one company. As an IC, your income should come from multiple sources. I don't know how others do it, but myself I am an IC, but I work for 2 companies plus have my own accounts. My husband has extra taken out of his pay. We do use an accountant/tax person, but fortunately he's a friend of the family and doesn't charge us an arm and a leg. It's funny to me also that you mention freedom in the same sentence as full-time. IC work is neither full-time nor part-time because it's actually a job by job basis just like a plumber or an electrican. Just something to think about.
Yes, I thought the same thing -sm
Then one day guess what? MTSO who had been providing me with an unheard of standard of living had up and sold her company without a word to anyone until the ink was dry. They later turned around and sold it to someone else, who decided we were all making too much money and wanted to cut our line rates. I left as I saw things unraveling in a big way. They later dissolved what was left of the company and it is no more. The point is, I sat fat and happy thinking I was set for years and out of the blue decisions were made I had no inkling of, so you just never know in this business...
I have often thought of the doing the same thing....sm
Thre is a similar place in a nearby town to me. I have given blood at the blood bank before, so that is not the part that concerns me. The part that concerns me is the possibility of picking up an infection or even HIV since the blood is run through a system that has run other blood and is returnd to my body. In blood donation, that does not happen and they use a completely new sharp and system each time. Am I being phobic about this?
Thanks. Thought same thing. sm
The OM is not computer savy. She is going to get her IT person to do this.
She is a fellow MT. I thought it was the right thing to do as many might know her. why?
x
I thought the same thing!! Then was gonna
look up old posts, but realized I was right, and it also wasn't worth the effort! Great minds thinking alike again! Something way fishy going on with this whole story!
OMG I thought my day was bad you poor thing!
I CANNOT IMAGINE having a snake loose while sitting there trying to type. I wouldnt be able to concentrate. I had a spider jump in my hair once while I was typing and couldnt get it out! LOL It was horrible.
Hey, I thought the same thing about the spelling police.
Petty, and no, that's not the word the OP was referring to.
Hahaha! I thought the same thing. He's defintely NOT an MT that's for sure! n/m
x
Oh, I thought it was an automatic thing on computers these days.
Maybe my hubby set ours up to do it; I'm not sure. It would be under START, then PROGRAMS, then ACCESSORIES, then SYSTEM TOOLS, then choose SYSTEM RESTORE.
Then it would ask you what date you want to restore to.
At the beginning, thought the whole thing had been a dream - thank goodness it wasn't.
nm
That's what I thought too, but I was told the built in thing was compatible with my router. nm
nm
I thought the same thing. Justify the EXTRA MONEY they're keeping
You know full well if the foreign MT was the same price they'd quit looking there too. It's all about the money. Who's he fooling?
I thought there was one to cook in crockpot. Don't have time to do the stove thing today but than
:(
Yeah, yeah, that should be "your work..."
Yeah, baby, yeah.
We are here for the long haul.
Ebonics: Not a black thing or white thing. (sm)
I don't think there's any cause to get upset or defensive here. Look it up on line...even colleges are offering courses in Ebonics! ...well of course they are more sociology-type courses, but still, people are PAYING to learn about the why's and how's of this "other" language.
A quote from one of the sites I found:
"UT-Austin's "Introduction to the Study of African American English," teaches students that the sentence, "Nobody didn't leave" is not "mainstream English with mistakes," but rather a legitimate English dialect. "Ebonics: Myth and Facts" and "African-American English" are both offered at Harvard. Penn and UCLA also promote Ebonics as a legitimate dialect in, "Introduction to African American and Latino English" and "Afro-American Sociolinguistics: Black English," respectively."

Best thing - I am my own boss and my own emloyee, worse thing - I am my own boss and my own
:P
A "man" thing? What the heck is a "man thing?"
"I was told it was a "MAN" thing and everyone does it (i guess all men)"
whenever anyone takes an action and relates it to a whole gender and then tags on everyone does it....well, I guess there's your answer
Oh, yeah!
I understand where you're coming from. The respect is just not there anymore. Everyone in this business has heard for years about how voice recognition and EMRs are going to replace us all, which I just don't buy. I work for a national on a difficult account with many ESLs, and it generates lots of work. Every summer we have problems keeping up with turnaround but the management has yet to come up with a solution that actually works consistently. I suspect it's a combination of MTs having kids home from school during the day now, vacations being taken, and people not working their schedules, but most of all I think it's just plain burnout - we deserve to enjoy the summer too. Last summer I worked so much to the point that I think I did substantial damage, and my body just cannot take it anymore (been at it for about 20 years, the last 10 years of it steady). The powers that be fail to understand that we are not machines! 
Oh yeah
Or when you are trying to sleep and in your mind you are dictating to yourself..i.e., and the patient..yada, yada, yada, happens to me all the time, especially if I have had a long stressful-difficult dictation day, LOL..Of even if Im day dreaming, sometimes I find myself falling into dictation mode, repeating dictating I have transcribed, or close to it..Yeow!!
Yeah.
intromission changed to interim admission. LOL
yeah right.
dream on.
Yeah - sm
Diskriter. If you have 3+ years experience and want full time work, brand new benefits and line incentive - send your resume to them.
yeah, right, sure he is.
u
Yeah, right
Saying it doesn't make it so. You are probably QA'd by people in India. What a crock.
Yeah, sure.
Uh-huh
That makes complete sense (not).
Oh, yeah.
I cheated on the soup, too, by buying a box of premade at the health food store. They've got such neat stuff there.
yeah, me too, and it's not
Yeah, well--
That's why this country is going down the toilet. Between the corporate greed and being overrun by the illegals, how long do you think it will last? The CEOs now don't care-- they are too busy counting their money and buying those expensive cars, yachts, and their third and fourth homes, etc. They have what I call the "Marie Antoinette" syndrome-- "Let them eat cake". They have theirs-- so the h*** with the rest of us!
yeah...
You are full of it. You aren't an MTSO. No place has a "crew" that is "all friendly and kind." They work at home, so how would you know what they are like? Even the rudest person can be nice for 2 minutes while talking on the phone to the boss.
Oh yeah!!
LOL - good going MQLover - like your style!
Yeah, you ask how old I am, but
the person who responded to me is the one who said it first. Of course, come down on the person who likes workings for MQ. How predictable. Go take a shower and maybe the water will make you grow a real thought.
yeah right, 60K w/MQ...
Yeah, please don't.
This is fun to listen to.
Yeah, I am.
I didn't say anything perverted. You are stuck on this molestor kick.
Yeah you.
I am not constipated and I know you aren't. I guess your laxatives worked to help you lose weight. Now, go cut your bangs in the morning.
