but I have been gone most of the day, so maybe it turned ugly.  I contributed to the thread, but do not recall saying anything rude or nasty to anyone.  Oh well ...........

Happy Friday! 

of Illinois would she? and start with the letter J?  I'm wondering if it's the same issue I have or maybe this is just a common thing.  Let me guess, check was mailed Sat?

I quit a national MTSO a little while ago and they just sent me a "termination agreement" with a "release" that they expect me to sign that says:  "...you hereby release, for yourself and all people who may act on your behalf, XXXCOMPANY, and its subsidiearies, affiliates, officers, employees and agents from all claims or causes of action, arising from or relating to your employment with XXXCOMPANY, including, but not limited to, any such claims or causes of action arising under any Federal or Sate law, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1965 and 1991 or the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended."

Has anyone else ever received anything like this before when they quit?  I've worked for 4 different MTSOs and have never gotten anything like this, not even from Medquist (and the company that sent this isn't MQ).  I'm not about to sign anything like this, but just wondering why in the world they would feel they need to protect themselves like this and if this is standard procedure?

After job hunting for about 3 months,  in desperation I accepted an in-house job in the medical records department of a large, seven-doctor clinic that was 98% clerical and about 2% transcription.  I was told this upfront . Also I was advised to wear comfortable shoes, not heels, as there would be a lot of walking involved.  I haven't worn heels in several years except to church so that wasn't a problem.  Since I do have very flat feet I bought two pairs of comfortable wide shoes with lots of support (spent about $100 for both, which is more than I normally spend on shoes). 

As it turned out, most days the work required 8 hours or more of standing and walking, posting the daily notes turned in by the contract Transcriptionist and filing/pulling charts.  In addition, my work area was very cramped, there was one more person in the office than I expected (she and her desk were behind a screen on the day of my interview) everyone talked and laughed constantly and loudly and gossiped, used profanity and vulgar language -- generally, was the nightmare of "office politics" people dread--the worse was our boss, who used threats in reprimanding me and others in front of co-workers on a daily basis. Also, I was seeing a doctor for foot and ankle pain and taking Ultram daily. The doctor said I should try to  stand only a couple of hours a day, but that was impossible.  Finally, all of these caused me to quit. I turned in a 2-week notice, had a change of heart and tried it for 2 more days, then just walked out after an argument with the girl who was supposed to be training me about who was to print (sitting) and who was to post that day.  I needed more instruction and practice I knew, and I felt that was why I was having so more trouble getting "up to speed" on the computer programs.  The few reports I had to transcribe were a piece of cake; it was everything else I was expected to do.

My question is, how would you explain this on a resume and during an interview?  I have worked over 30 years and have never walked out on a job before, but I simply could not take it.  I have been asked if I thought it was a "hostile workplace," and in some respects it really was. 

Thanks for any constructive advice...

...that seems to have changed. I always put "metacarpophalangeal" before, but almost every doc I transcribe for these days says, very clearly "metacarpal phalangeal." I put the hyphen in because the words should be connected and that is the only way I can do it without changing what the doctor says.

Your book may list "carpophalangeal" as a word, but I am a former x-ray tech and I can tell you that none of the carpal bones attach directly to the phalanges. There is a metacarpal between the carpal bones and the phalanges. If you will look at a hand x-ray, there is a good 2-3" or more (filled by the metacarpal) between the carpal bones and the proximal phalanx of each digit.

That's why you can't depend solely on "word books." If they don't have a definition, you cannot be sure they are correct.

You can always tell them that your workload has suddenly changed and now due to time constraints you are no longer able to provide them service and give them 30 day notice.  Or you can be half way honest and just tell them that you feel it is not a good fit and that they would be happier with someone else and give them 30 day notice.  I wouldn't be completely truthful but semi as you never know when you will need them for a reference but just let them know in a nice way that it is just not a "good fit" and move forward.  They are probably having a hard time keeping anyone and if this is so the OM might ask some questions and I would let them know where some of the problems are nicely so who knows they might improve for the next person.  Good luck.

Would the same rules apply as if you were an "employee" whereas you would give a two weeks notice?  Just wondering becuase of the fact that you have to sign off on a "contrract" when employed as an IC.  From my understanding the meaning of an IC is that you are contracting out your services for an undetermined amount of time, right?......that doesn't mean you are bound to a MT company for life though right?

of a profession.  Can't pay my bills, hungry and can't afford to buy groceries MOST of the time.  I will just go to work as a waitress at the local casino as they even make more than what I have been making.

Then outsources like us are getting ripped off...

I barely make $5 for 8 hours.. you think that's fair. .. cause I sure *&%# don't.

Software is the computer interface that allows you to perform a certain task, in this case, FTP software allows your computer to connect to an FTP site. If you're looking for an FTP site that is secure, you will more than likely have to pay for it. You can try www.ftptogo.com, although it is not free, it is a good site.

I am testing for a company and I need a good website with Opthamology terminology?

Thanks
