doesn't stop Uncle Sam from wronging us on a daily basis. Look, the bottom line is I will do what I have to do to feed, clothe, and house my kids. I don't feel guilty about finding shortcuts around the enormous mountains the government puts in my way nor should Doxie. She's trying to take care of her grandkids so her kids can go to the middle east and serve their country and us all. A woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do.
You can call me a thief. My conscience is clear. My kids are healthy, well-fed, and have a home. I give to charity, tithe to my church, and volunteer at the food pantry in my town. I give back when I can -- not to the government, but to my community!
I am not the only person in American who stives to pay as little taxes to the government as I can. The government cheats us all. Do two wrongs make a right? I'm not trying to make a right, I'm just trying to survive.

No, two wrongs don't make a right.
I don't want to be labeled a cherrypicker, too. I do bring it to the account manager's attention. If nothing's done about it and I'm not making any money, I quit. I'm not doing the worst work for low wages while everyone else rolls in the dough.
However, two wrongs don't make a right.
they'll be around for a long time to entertain you as they have nothing better to do.
My parents taught me that 2 wrongs do not make a right.....
I guess you didn't learn that, or worse you think that *makes* it all right. And people wonder what is wrong with the world these days? Your message pretty clearly outlines it, in my opinion. Working under another Social Security number, no matter WHO does it is wrong, wrong, and, oh yes, ILLEGAL!
Shame on you! 2 wrongs dont make a right.
hook into your electricity without paying you just because she could. Creative utilities? Cheatiing the government is cheating me, you and every other citizen. If it is okay for her to cheat. let her confine it to sticking her hand in YOUR pocket, she can keep it out of mine. What your g'mom think of you condoning this behavior? Do you teach your kids to cheat on tests?
AMEN! Also the government wouldn't make money on busts too! nm

I agree. MTIA is not a government organization. Credentialing comes from state government and
sometimes at the federal level. This mandatory credentialing is ludicrous and a scheme to make money, in my humble opinion.
I have to agree with the other poster, if not having CMT after my name after 25 years of experience prevents me from being employable, I have a very good lawyer who will take up my cause!!!
Or they make quite a case trying to CONVINCE us they do!

Lori is correct...the SS does give the recipients a yearly raise. This year the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) was 3.3%. This sounds fine and dandy until you take inconsideration the monthly premium for Medicare was raised by 3.1%.

I agree; it was a decent mini-course. Maybe they're trying to right some old wrongs.

Wishing everyone a good week ahead!
that's the million $ question! sm
I know how you feel, girlfriend! I'm barely hanging on, having to sit and work everyday! Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated on how to get over this "hump"! 
God I would not in a million years...
work for that person. How ridiculous.But I wonder where she works? Have my suspicions....
If you don't like Red Bull, there are a million others to try.

No, a million times no.
They have certainly not done thier best as advocates for MTs. They've done thier best to do whatever it takes to make them more money, not us - especially the part about the visible characters only - that one really got me riled! I have since dropped my membership with the AAMT or whatever they call themselves now, and let my acredidation lapse - it never helped me get a job anyway. Actually, I was turned down for several because with the CMT after my name, I was "overqualified." There are so many things they could have done as an advocate organization for MTs, first and foremost making sure that transcription of American records stayed in America. Then they could have worked with the MTSOs to advocate for fairer pay for MTs, keeping up with inflation, etc so that MTs could actually make a living doing what we do. I think that anyone in the AAMT/AHDI is so far removed from the career of an MT that they really have no idea what it's about anymore - kind of like the government, but that's for a different board =)
I know you'll justify this with a million
lines of -- that's not what I meant - I meant this or that or this or that. Believe me, as a kid whose mother had that YAHOO SHE'S BACK IN SCHOOL attitude, it HURTS. Your kids sense it, and its damaging to them. Try to hide your joy that they're out of your hair - for their sake. Not trying to bash, just trying to show their side. The bus stop used to be in front of my house for years, and first days of school, always 10 or 12 parents standing with their kids. There were always 1 or 2 mothers who would cheer just as you, as the bus pulled away, and their kids were always looking back out the window at their mothers cheering. Always made the rest of us cringe for those poor kids...
for that much - I would keep working. Now if I hit the PowerBall at 100 million - sm
I'd quit working and open up an orphanage or home for the homeless and down children in this country. Ideally, it would be a horse ranch - farm type.
I would love to help all of the poor and starving children in this country, even helpless moms too! That is my dream.
I do have 2 children of my own and very fortunate to have a great MT job with a good hard-working husband.
That is a million dollar question
I think they are just being pains. There are some people they bend over backwards for, some they don't work with at all and unfortunately I am at the lower end of the stick, it seems. I had a coworker quit and went to work for an on-line service because they would not let her have Sundays off so she could go to church with her family even though they had adequate coverage on Sunday and by Thursday we were always out of work.
HAHAHA ... Now there's your million-dollar idea!

Million Dollar Movie? Was on every night...sm
on TV and you could watch the same movie for a week? I remember a lot of James Cagney movies shown on that Million Dollar Movie - *lol*
Live in big city, 2+ million, with state pen and fed pen
as well as county jails located here.
This question has been asked 1 million times.
First, start by looking through the posts on this board. You should be able to find plenty of information through those postings.
Agree 1 million percent about the elderly
HMOs is what I assume you mean as managed care??? I don't like them at all but am stuck with one through the city insurance when I was hurt on the police dept. However, I have been extremely fortunate in Virginia Beach area to have some of the best doctors and the payment is low. I have been through the ringer and back int the whew 14 yrs now since my accident. But I have never been denied a test or a treatment. I did have my beloved neurosurgeon leave because of HMO regulations. But he came back to the area once they met his demands. He is a patient first doctor hands down all of mine are. Where are you from. I here all this garbage about terrible health care etc. etc. I honest to God have had zero problems with mine. I could pay extra and get the pick your own doctor insurance for about dbl what I pay for an HMO but all my doctors are on the list and I am happy. My dad is on Medicare at 80 and has had no problems with any care. Nor did my mom before she passed away. Which was her fault she wouldn't go to the doctor and had breast CA but that's a whole other topic. When she finally did go to the doc and it had spread to her bones, she got great care and at a minimal cost. Several operations, tests, chemo, radiation the works...I don't understand. They took Medicare or Medicaid whichever one you get when you are of age and got the AARP supplement and did fine with it...
Duh - 4 o'clock slump - How do you write 6 million 10 thousand nm

You have a sound resume - you are worth a million to the right employer
MQ is just going cheap to prepare to pay out major money in lawsuits. Don't let this be a reflection on how you see yourself.
MQ always was considered the Wal-Mart of transcription companies.
florida not small state - over 20 million people
Sure, eScription clients are saving a million dollars by
A good neighbor is worth a million bucks, they say this for a reason
I purchased a house at a remarkably reduced price because of a neighbor who was a lunatic. First thing I will do the next time I buy is try to get familiar with the neighbors bordering my home. Thank GOD, he moved but for several years, I had to get a restraining order and even with that, he used foul language, sometimes directed at me, tapped into my utilities, had loud fights with four letter words. I could even hear them in the bedroom going at it (yes, i know)... What I say is don't make her angry or she could make your life REALLY miserable. There will be times when you will not be home...people like her resort to all sorts of behavior, I have a feeling.
I finally just saw Million Dollar Baby! Clint rocked!! nm

Does anyone know how to go about applying for a government job?

What I expect from my government
When a mandatory evacuation is ordered I expect to be able to get on the hurricane evacuation routes and have enough gas available to get moving. Is this reality........NO.
As far as moving somewhere else, FL has a way of putting a grip on you. Low wages to the point you are stuck literally. I haven't been out of this state in over 7 years due to lack of funds.
Government jobs...
MTs are listed under "medical data technician." Also, the military sometimes uses placement agencies for MT jobs.
Government contracts
Has anyone out there heard or looked into government contracts transcribing for VA hospitals - a friend called me today with this proposition - she said there were two places to look for work - one is called rsp.com and the other is fedbizops.com. She put in a bid for a radiology account with 600,000 lines a month and said that she thought that would take two people. I'm just trying to find out if this is legit or not. I'm not wanting any extra work for myself, but this just sounds too good to be true.
Government disability and doing MT
Does anyone here collect government disability and also work part time doing MT? I have a severe immune disorder and was considering filing for permanent disability. Anyone know if you are allowed to work part time?
Including, unfortunately, our government. nm

What we CAN do is vote for changes in our government
And then we have to keep a very, very close eye on them and scrutinize every move they make. We have to become more knowledgeable and involved in how our political & judicial systems work.
Thanks for the answer. Our government in

And the more people want from the government -- the more you pay
Someone has to pay for all the government programs and it is us. Just like that $600 we will get, who do you think will be paying for it -- us working people. Those with the tax credits, child credits that pay no taxes just want more. We the people support the government and the more the government gives the more we keep giving the government. I use all my deductions I can give. If I think I am paying too much to government, I find another dedution, my self retirement, my anything other than the government.
E-mail says I have been left 1/4 million bucks by distant relative. Do you think this is a scam?
I could really use the money.
The Red Cross just HANDED OUT $5 million worth of debit cards in Texas.
FEMA decided to mail them in 14 days if the people knew where they were going to be...couldn't possibly get them out faster...too much work...etc.
I agree with you completely. It is our government that ALLOWS this
to happen though. My point exactly. Spend money overhauling the system. Make people accoutable for their actions. That opens up money for people who really need it. Also, people here that do not pay taxes and are not here legally, give them the boot.

Some government drone is going to have a heyday
going through my computer (not!).
While I certainly don't support Google doing this (if, indeed, they are), it's kinda like the Patriot Act. If people have something to hide, they are going to fight this tooth and nail. If they don't have anything to hide, well, so what? If some poor government drone wants to see the dress measurements of every kid in my dance classes--enjoy! Want a list of what I want to see in Kauai--have at it!
Call me naive, call me stupid, but if surveillance of what I do means that people who ARE doing bad things are caught and kept from negatively influencing your loved ones (not to mention mine), I'm all for it. I would suspect that said drones would be targeting very specific ISPs, if this is all true, rather than wanting to see what the secret ingredient is in your great aunt Sally's family-favorite beef stew recipe.
So, with that said, I am going to continue to enjoy Google's presence on my desktop.
All you fans of the government must be from one o' them RED states..........
If you have such a productive life, why do you even care about MT, let alone spend time posting on an MT forum?
