Blasted cold out today. It was 104 degrees last week, but it's 40 degrees today with rain.
However, I do like cozy days like today when I don't have to go anywhere.  I'm done working, the house is clean, there's chili on the stove for dinner already, and I'm just putzing around.  I think I'll go bake some jalapeno cheese bread to go with the chili.
Did not yesterday, but did today.

Could not access because the usual icon was not on my bar, and when I clicked on "My Yahoo", "mail" was not there.  I had to go the long way around. 


27 signatures yesterday - up to 88 today - need more ! nm

I'm ready to quit being an IC. I was supposed to have today off,

so I scheduled in the personal things I need to get done.  Errands, baking, housework, planning a kid's birthday party, post office, bank, bills.  Guess what I got up to this morning?  Tons of work.  That's fine.  It's money, so I'll do it.  However, now I'm totally overwhelmed because all this other stuff still needs to get done today.


I'm also really tired of doing all the research and record keeping without getting paid for it.  When I figure out my income versus how many hours I actually spend working, not just typing, it hardly seems worth it any more.  Phone calls, emails, looking things up, keeping logs, downloading, uploading, line counting, waiting for work, and all that other jazz.  It's worked into a fulltime job without fulltime pay.  I worked until 9:00 last night to get everything done so I could have today off.  I just wish I could find a decent MT job where you do your lines, you don't have to look up a bunch of information while guessing on the spelling, and the platform was streamlined for maximum productivity.  It's gotten to the point where I've been reading the Job ads again to get out of MT entirely.


Iowa is dry today, flurries yesterday, maybe hit 50

Want to talk about hot? It was 107 here yesterday and we have a heat advisory again today here in
Oklahoma.  Now, that's what I call hot. 
Did you look at the company board? Just scroll down the page for posts from yesterday and today!

oops....cant spell today, supposed to be literally, not litterally. I added a T too many. hehe. nm

Hotter than hot
Mark Harmon, OMG!!

Keith Olbermann - snarky, funny, sexy.

Michael Weatherly - it is just not right that one man can look that good.

Hugh Laurie - His scruffiness does something for me.


I thought Ty was much hotter
LOL
Would that be the one in Phoenix? nm

Phoenix
They don't pay for spaces. I've tried explaining to my thumbs why the work they do has no value in certain environments, but they refuse to understand & in general continue to prevent me from applying to a company that I've otherwise heard pretty good things about. If your thumbs are happy working for nothing, I'd say go for it.



Phoenix
I would recommend ANY company to work for - except Phoenix. Their website is bogus - nobody makes $25 an hour. They'll toss you a book to hook up your computer - and when you're having questions - you'll get an attitude when you ask for help. Horrible, horrible!
Phoenix

I have been with Phoenix MedCom for 1 year now and they are a great company. I work on an internet account that does not pay for spaces.  We have a new platform with another account and this does pay for spaces.  I tried both platforms and it works out to exact amount of pay, 10 cents without spaces and 8 cents with spaces.  DG


Phoenix MedCom
I have been with this company as an IC since they started over 5 years ago and before that I worked with these same owners at another company which was bought out by Medquist for over 6 years. Phoenix Medcom is a great place if you are loking for an IC position.

University of Phoenix
I did some checking several years ago and I found from my research that University of Phoenix was the one with the most prestige as far as on-line degrees.  You have to be careful, because some of the places offering these are not worth the paper they are printed on, to an employer.  But, I found that UOP actually is the *best* of the on-line universities.  I didn't enroll, but I seriously considered it.  It is extremely expensive and I've heard from someone I know who was a student with UOP, that it is challenging (she worked a full-time job in addition to her classes), but she really loved it.  Unfortunately, I've lost touch with her now and I have no idea if she ever finished and got her degree.

Phoenix Medcom

I haven't ever heard of this company before but they had a posting in the job bank.  I'm wondering if they are worth my time applying for.  I have a job, just looking for extra to do.  Anyone's experience would be appreciated.  Thx!


University of Phoenix!!! LOL
Duh- yeah!

PHOENIX MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION

PHOENIX medical transcription.  Any information good/bad???


Thanks


I'm referring to Phoenix Medcom
They sent me a lot of info when I inquired & were very specific: they pay per 65-character line, with headers & footers, no spaces.
Joaquin Phoenix...hands down - nm

Had that happen with Phoenix Medcom ...they
acted dumb so I left and am making more with far less hassel and stress over easy work being taken (and ASSIGNED) to their favs....

I'm in the metro Phoenix area and we were in the mid 20s last night. That's cold for us!!...
I had to cover my frost sensitive plants with sheets.
No way. Univ. of Phoenix is considered a joke by employers!
http://uopsucks.com/negletters.html

The best way to obtain an on-line degree is to attend an accredited university that was already well-known for its academic program way before the internet was invented.

Check out University of Massachusetts, Temple University in Philadelphia, University of Minnesota.

The fly-by-nights like U. of Phoenix are the equivalent to the crap that used to advertise "degrees" on the back of matchbook covers and have no credibility in educational and career circles.

Seriously, stick with an accredited, well-known school, not some bogus piece of crap like that.

You get what you pay for.

degrees
They don't seem to be all that worth it.  I was going to school for a psych degree but got discouraged.  Started buying the Sunday paper just to see jobs out there in my chosen field, social work/clinical psychology.  The average pay is 14-15 an hour, and that is for graduate/master's degree. So they want all those dedicated years of studying, money for college, to get out and earn less than what i'm making as an MT, with two years of college significantly less. 
With those two degrees, why don't
you build career in a more solid profession? MT isn't very stable, IMHO, and making money at it can be a crap shot. Some of us have gotten lucky but most haven't. I don't mean to sound negative, but if I had a degree in something, I'd be outta this profession! (and I'm one of the fortunate transcriptionists with my own clients and am making decent money)
zero degrees
Geez! Where do you live if you don't mind my asking? That is just too cold for me!! I would not go out at all. It was in the 20s here last night (Mississippi) and I thought THAT was cold.
Not me! It's 103 degrees out there!
 
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm

my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away!  I checked and the Type It button is grayed out!  I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies.  Can anyone please help me ASAP?  I am lost without it!  TIA


Perhaps you are right. This one is dated today. The original article was on Yahoo today also with

But this article states it would only affect new customers right now.  So I am upset over nothing.  I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge.  I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me.  It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc.  It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.

Hello,

A hand-held digital recorder (I have a Uher DH-10 but there are many, seems to be a lot of DSS files out there - Olympus) and an image mate if the computer can't accommodate a variety of media or flash cards.

How to move files:
FTP site - commercialy maintained and/or your own with a static IP address through a web hoster - Apache servers are the best

FTP software is out there for free - Core FTP using SSL

CryptoHeaven
HyperSend
DropChute (expensive) Lite (free)
X-Drive
I-Drive (I had a run in with them, not too happy)
Hyperterminal (part of windows)

PC Anywhere and a static IP address that would allow computer-to-computer file transfers pick up dictation, drop off documents

MEP or PGP encryption and just move those babies through the e-mail - there are a bajillion encryption software PGP is free and MEP is commercial for sale. These make self-extracting files all you have to do is use the right password and you're good. There are others, though.

I guess it depends on what the office personnel are willing to do in the way of faciltating the transfers or loading the dictation onto a computer or a FTP site or e-mailing to you.

Having DSL or cable (I have DSL - its never down, ever) is a must because wav files can be large sometimes if the recorder doesn't utilize some sort of compression

and PC Anywhere on a phone line is too slow to download digital files from wav or DSS the phone line can only go about 23 which makes a 56K modem overkill

I have used PCAnywhere without a static IP, you do a start/run ipconfig command (that was for win 98 I can never remember the one for XP)and it gives you the address of that log on - you just put that in the remote PCanywhere set up to dial in - this is kind of a garage sale version but it works

There are also TASPs out there to buy for a penny a line or 10 cents a minute with 800# all set up for you. Sometimes they charge to add doctors a little set up fee

:) Has this helped at all?

If you do go PCAnywhere and set up a host computer at the doc's office or load PCAnywhere on one of theirs, it doesn't HAVE to be an XP comp. And if it does have XP for an OS you MUST use version 10.5 or higher - only one compatible with XP

I know for a fact that version 9 does horrible things to XP ;) Not compatible is not compatible, I thought I could download a patch or an upgrade. ha ha.

winzip is a free software to make many files one nice little package for to be encrypted and then attached to an e-mail

How come you 2 with journalism degrees aren't

We paid for 2 bachelor's degrees and
that was it. If they want to further their education their employers each pay to do that (government jobs).

I say send your son to a school where he lives in a dorm and then in an apartment. It's time.

You're both adults getting on each other's noives at this point.

You'll be surprised how much they grow up after they move out and live away at school.
