YEAH BABY
HEY YUCK - YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!
Yeah baby...
Yeah, baby, yeah.
We are here for the long haul.
Maybe it's time to fight fire with fire.
I find cherrypicking an absolutely deplorable practice. That being said, perhaps it's time we set aside our integrity (believe me, I know how hard it will be to do) and send back reports also. We are penalized for our experience and dedication. You can be sure a cherrypicker's paycheck looks a lot better than ours. I think it's time we whine and cry about bad dictators and send a HUGE message to corporate by refusing to do them.
Yeah, I am happy there too. Give it a try!!! nm

Troubles with Teething - Baby, Baby, Baby
Hi. My little guy is teething soooooo bad and I am wondering if any of you have some ideas that I can try, to hopefully make his life (and my life) a little easier to deal with? lol. We've tried Tylenol - with little pain relief, but much diarreha! We've tried Orajel - it seems to wear off too fast to make a difference. We've tried teething toys - help for only a few minutes (not nearly enough time for me to get any work done!). His appetite is normal, but his sleep schedule has been totally disrupted (as has mine). For the last 2 nights, he has woke up every couple hours. I would think he would be exhausted during the day....but he never goes to sleep. He is more fussy than usual and alittle more clingy, but overall he is very playful. His pediatrician gave me some suggestions (the above) that I have tried with little to no help, so I am desperate for new ideas! He is cutting multiple teeth right now (and just got a few new ones last week too) so he is in a lot of pain. Poor little guy. I appreciate all ideas that anyone has. Thanks in advance. :)
Yeah, Dano, the poster I responded to was sure deserving of "kid gloves". Give me a break.
Everyone hates editors, everyone hates QA - it makes no sense, but that's the way it is. Period. If you are sweet to them and helpful, they stab you behind the back and freak when they get called in their errors. If you are calm and blunt, they freak. If you are abrupt and to the point, they freak. If you send the masses emails saying Howdy, they stab you behind the back and diss you. Yet, we won't mention that they write us sweetly back!! And if we don't send them Howdy emails, they stab us behind our backs and complain that we don't write them. We do write them, per their own wish, and they complain that we're harassing them. NOT. The intelligent MT is the one who recognizes we all make errors, recognizes that editors are to catch errors and that it is our JOB to point said errors out to them - not a personal power trip. As I said, intelligent MTs recognize such - however, on this board there are not many who will fall into the above category. You'll see more in a second - flaming away!! And the same nasty MTs wonder why they never get anywhere? Why they always get the crap dictators? Why they never get raises? I wonder.

You aren't going to be flamed by me. sm
I use a reputable cleaning service which is bonded and insured. I pay the company, the company pays their employees. Plus I wouldn't let someone I didn't know in my house without bonding and insurance.
I will probably get flamed BIG time for this, but
I have to say I agree somewhat with your friend. I do think God's ultimate plan was for the husband/father to provide for the family and the wife/mother to take care of the homefront. Unfortunately, society, myself included, has made this hard for the woman to do. In most homes, it takes two incomes to get by. I worked for most of my children's growing up years and I wish now that we had learned to live on what my husband made so I could have stayed at home with them. I missed a lot of things because I was outside the home working. I have also been a single parent and had no choice but to work to support myself and two children. Thank God, their father and I remarried after about six months apart, but I chose to keep working because the extra income was nice. Anyway, enough said. I do wish that I had chosen a simpler lifestyle without the unnecessary frills that my income allowed. I realize this is only my opinion and everybody else has their opinion, too. I'm not downing anybody who chooses to work; after all, that is exactly what I did, too. 
Wrongly flamed
Okay, I posted a job on another board. There were no replies, yet there is a flame. I did nothing wrong, yet, still got a flame. I'm confused. Thanks for your response.
I would but I just flamed and hissed at.
nm
Totally with you on this one and will back you as you get flamed..been there done that.

[sigh..] I know I'll get flamed for this, but - sm
- here goes, anyway! ---- "How funny would THIS be?" 
I know it would be impossible to ever get MTs to stick together on anything, let alone a work-stoppage kind of strike. But can you imagine the hilarity (at least on OUR end, anyway), if for just one week. Heck - one DAY, even -- we all decided to transcribe everything verbatim? And I mean, VERBATIM, not the 'fixed-up' kind of verbatim most of us are expected to do. I mean verbatim, as in if they don't punctuate anywhere in a 3-page letter, they get a 3-page unpunctuated letter. They screw up the 'copy-to' addresses, then instead of spending OUR time looking up the correct address or spelling of the recipient, let it go as-is. If they say "left" and MEANT "right", they get "left". When they bounce back and forth between calling the patient a "he" and a "she", and don't clarify it, then that will be come a report on the world's first simultaneously dual-gender individual. All the little checks and balances, and save-their-@ss type of transcription we do automatically, doesn't get done for one day. Unfortunately, it would probably cause every Editor in the country to simultaneously call in sick with killer migraines. But that's okay, at least it would be FUNNY. And lord knows, this profession could sure use a laugh now and then, couldn't it? 
Geesh, you get flamed for being blunt and you
x
Nope, not much help for newbies here. On the bright side, at least you didn't get flamed!!
That's the usual course of events. Or the doom and gloom posts about how HORRIBLE this industry is, how HARD it is to get educated, how IMPOSSIBLE it is to do ESLs, etc. Nope, this board is NOT the encouragement board for anyone, let alone newbies! I would try the "other" boards. Though that will cause a flame as well!
Have you noticed how many hits the ads have?
x
So, when the poop hits the fan..sm
who is going to get to take the flak for this mistake... besides the patient?
36 hits doesn't necessarily mean anything.
If there were 30,000 hits on Google, I'd think it legitimate. However, 30 hits could mean that there are 30 misspellings or 30 idiots out there making up words. Or it could be a real word. Normo is a combining form; however, reflexic is not in any of my dictionaries. (Merriam, Taber's, Dorland's, Stedman's) If the account's verbatim, use it. Otherwise, tag it.
Better Business Bureau BBB.ORG 39 hits of
Ameriplan with UNSATISFACTORY ratings. Do more investigating before you waste your money on an MLM scam, and please don't tell me to check it out because I already did two years ago.
THE HITS KEEP COMING-NEW PROBLEM AS OF OCT 1ST
You probably received an email from your supervisor about full time meaning you HAVE TO produce for 40 hours a week to be full time. That means, if you take any time off without pay (because you only have 80 hours of PTO a year) for ANYTHING (sick, funeral, whatever the emergency), you will no longer be a full time employee, which means no benefits at all.
The Eagles- Greatest Hits. nm

If a post gets so many hits on it, it gets the flame.
Not sure what the magic number is though.
IMO - no. If he hits you once, he will hit you again. It will not matter what religion you believe

Good way to drum up hits. nm
nm
Now that hits the nail on the head!
You said that right.
'MEDICAL TRANCRIPTION SUCKS."
It is the only job I have ever had where I actually do 25% of my work for FREE because my employer SAID IT WAS MY JOB.
And every day these companies are more creative looking for new and improved ways to bleed the MTs for more of our hard earned money.
And that IS the reality of this business.
It's a good way to get lots of hits on your post!

20,400 hits on Google plus an entry in thefreedictionary.com

suggest entering word in google-got 30 hits-nm

Someone answered on this below, that thing pops up when it has had a lot of hits -see the # of views
probably set for 100 or something like that. So when it have however many views, the little fire springs up indicating is "hot" and has been looked at a lot!
Just went out and bout The Band greatest hits and listening right now to the Weight.
well wait til your daughter hits someone. You will lose everything in that civil lawsuit.
I mean, how ridiculous is that. Letting a 14.5 year old to get more experience. Sheesh. Let her drive at 16 with you and let her drive alone at 18, if you want her to have more experience. There's a reason why the driving age is 16, not 14.
do a google search-were many hits and should find good info--nm

Fire in AZ
Are you near Payson, I do recall a couple years back, we were there looking for property and when we got back to SoCal the whole area was on fire, is that a yearly thing there?
Monsoon FINALLY hits Arizona. Microburst winds & rain.

Daughter is vegetarian. I cook a turkey and she hits the side dishes. (sm)
We do pretty well with this. I just make sure I have some of her favorites so she still feels like she is having a feast.
I saw a picture someone made of a "turkey" they had formed out of raw veggies. I think the basic form was one of those rounded shaped loaves of bread and the veggies were on toothpicks. the head and some tail feathers were made from construction paper. It seemed like an entertaining idea especially if you had small children around.
Keep contact at a minimum. Self doubt hits and it is when we tend to fall back into the web
Good luck to you. Expect highs and lows. Best to get professional counseling so they remind you of who you are and where you want to be when he tries to convince you that you are crazy.
I would get an attorney to fire off a ...
letter. I have had to do that several times in the past (not MT related), and it is amazing how quickly things are resolved. It has only cost me $35 to explain the situation to the attorney and have a short letter sent. I think it would be well worth it in your case...$35 vs. $1300.
Also, be sure to send the letter certified, return receipt requested. Even though that is only to obtain proof of delivery, there seems to be something "official" about it...and that can't hurt.
If you are the supervisor why not fire her? If she
isn't carrying her share of the load and was switched from a different department for the same why is she still there?
Thank you...truly trial by fire but once you get over it you're stronger. nm

FIRE THE CHERRY PICKERS
They ought to track down your email and find out who you are and fire your arse!!!!
whoa, let me put out the fire while it's still small (sm)
I don't want him to be like so many of the child stars we have all heard of...I simply was asking about print ads, commercials, stuff like that. He's as cute as any kid I've seen in the Macy's catalog or on the Mott's Apple Juice commercials. And he is chock full of charisma...and too, I'm just ASKIN'! Slow down on the flames, please...there's only one of ME to fight the fire!
Yes, I used to live and work there! Fire away
with any questions!
I got a fire alarm dictation too!
That is a RIOT! The one in my ear sounded just like the "Enterprise" going to red alert...and the dude just kept right on dictating but thankfully he pretty much screamed his dictation and successfully overpowered the "bwooop, bwooop, bwooop!" of the alarm.
I'd be worried about fire issues... (n/msg)

Great balls of fire! sm
The most I EVER got was maybe 250 lph, and that was including headers, etc., and a word Expander like PC Shorthand. Course I was always a sluggish typist, never the fastest by any means! Just couldn't do that....I depended on my experience and my word expander.
Be glad I am not your boss. I would fire you in a heartbeat.

Betcha they would sure fire someone for not meeting production! nm

She sounds like the type to go off on a tangent and fire you
over her own overcommitments. I'd tell her that you agreed to work M-F whatever hours and that anything else was "extra". You are not being paid "extra" and you don't appreciate the fact that she think's it's your fault she overextended herself. You did not promise to do extra work, you helped her out as a favor. Now she's being ungrateful about it.
Urgh. That's why I never liked working for the small MTSOs. No matter how much you do for them, they never pay you extra, they blame you for everything, they're always overstressed and curt toward people, and they never have anything nice to say. They expect you to be available 24/7 and they forget that they are the ones running the business, not us. It's so easy to blame someone else for your own responsibilities. It's so easy to dump all your garbage dictators and problems on someone else, then blame them for everything that goes wrong. Never an appreciative word or extra pay for overtime, evenings, weekends. Then they wonder why none of us want to work those shifts.
I was so freaked last night. We almost had a house fire
due to Christmas lights. If we had left the lights on all night, we definitely would have had a fire. For some strange reason, one of my kids unplugged the lights. Then he told us there were burn marks on the plug. The plug-ins had melted the power strip, and the carpet was even hot. That would have really sucked. Last year, one of my neighbors down the street lost her home to a fire right before Christmas.
