In Reply to: I have a daughter and a split shift. - SM

like this one, because at this time I also have a 2yr old that I'm trying to keep at home during the day by starting and ending early in the day.  I have some more questions if you don't mind.  Thanks so much!

SM for alternative
It runs up and down with the text sideways on the start menu. Mine says Windows XP Professional.

You can right-click on My Computer, select properties, and a window should pop up that shows your system information.
Here's a better alternative..
Medifast 5 and 1 plan. You eat 5 of their meals a day and then what they call a Lean and Green that you prepare yourself. I've only just started, but have lost 9 pounds in 4 days. Check out the website... Medifast1.com

Read the info and check out the message boards. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

You can spend 17+ thousand dollars for a band and eat 6 small meals a day or spend a couple of hundred dollars a month and eat 6 small meals a day.
Not OP, but I think this is an alternative to.
Trick or Treat. Instead of going to stranger's house the kids go to the church and people pass out candy from their decorated car trunks.
alternative

My docs just attach the voice file to the email and send it to me.  There is no encryption.  If you don't want to use email, you could use an FTP site I suppose for a safer transfer...


Another alternative.
Not sure about that but the program, Switch, can change one audio file into any other type of audio file to play on whatever player you want to use.  I love it.  It has a free demo.
Alternative
I thought it might be an alternative to having to rename WP 5.1 documents with .doc extension if they could be loaded on Google docs.  I have not researched it extensively, either. 
Unfortunately I have no answers but I have an alternative for others...sm

If your computer is about to bite the dust, if you have ANY computer geek friends who can build you a computer, ask them to do so.  My husband always rebuilds and updates my computer.  The cost for parts is about the same as the "sale" price on new computers and the advantage is that you can have it custom-built to your specifications.


Even if you have to go to a computer shop to have a computer built, it is still less expensive in the long run.  Initially it may cost $100 or more than that "sale" computer, but you won't run into problems like being forced to have Vista as your OS and trying to retrofit everything.


We have had a computer since about 1990 and, besides our very first, DOS-based computer, we have only bought two "brand new" computers.  One was when Windows first came out, and the second  was when I started working at home and needed my own computer.  At that time, Windows 95 had been out for a couple of years and most of the bugs had been worked out, so we took the plunge and bought a new one.  Since then, we have simply updated and upgraded, including adding a new hard drive, new motherboard, sound/video cards, flat screen monitor....


Just wanted to show you can get a "new" computer without buying a "brand-new" computer. If you see what I mean.....


Housekeeping as an alternative ...
... has anyone gone from MTing to housekeeping in a hotel?  I can't support myself as an IC and can't meet the requirements for employee status.  What are the going wages in the South?  Do I have a snowball's change of being hired in my 50's???  I'm desperate.
alternative keyboards
Is anybody using an alternative keyboard? I have seen some pretty nifty designs and wonder which one has the most sensitive touch. Any users of the kinesis contoured keyboard?? Please give your comments, as I am currently shopping...
An alternative would be to purchase and download
a product called Phone Tools by BVRP.  It functions as both a fax and answering machine. I've been using it for >5 years now and have never had any problems. 
Foot pedal Alternative
is there an alternative to the traditional foot pedal? I know i could probably use the keyboard, but I am wondering about devices.
Need alternative to usual Labor Day cookout
We are having a family get-together on Labor Day. We usually grill hamburgers and hot dogs, but I was trying to think of something different this year. Any suggestions? There will be young kids there, so it would have to be something they could enjoy as well. Thanks!
Has anyone tried the 'shared work' layoff alternative
plan? I know they have this in New York state and actually know someone whose employer does this. The employer must participate but you can always ask about it. There are very specific requirements but it seems if your company does not pay down time, wouldn't it be to their benefit also to keep good MTs this way?
Easy free alternative to FTP for uploading lots of files?
I currently have a temp account that wants to send me a large # of files. I have tried to set them up with a free FTP utility but she is having trouble using it. For some reason she can receive files from me fine but cannot upload them from her computer, and I am stumped as to why this would be. So I am wondering if there is an alternative out there to FTP that is both easy and free (or low-cost). She's willing to FedEx them to me on CD if all else fails but any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks.
slow periods, seek alternative extra cash? sm
Docs, like us, have busy family lives. I found that after Hannukah and Christmas (or sometimes with a break from family stuff) they "catch up" on dictation. Hopefully, this is what still happens. I have a son who is a professional and he likes to go in on Christmas Eve morning because it's so "slow" that he can get a lot of paperwork done. So hang in. Another aspect of today's world is that docs are carrying laptops now as is my family PCP and they are all doing their own notes. I think it's a "wait and see" thing, the world is changing and hopefully there is a survival tool for us somewhere. We are all being replaced by technology, sadly. Only time will tell. I was told several years ago that I should go into "scoping" which is kind of like editing, etc., you go into public stenographers machine gibberish and make sense out of it, kind of like making sense out of what comes back from India. I was offered this but refused to clean up someone else's "mess." Everyone should be thinking of alternative ways to get by, it's never easy. It's sad, as I have put a lot of time and $$$ into a profession that doesn't appreciate my knowledge. From your posts, Blondie, you have a good heart. I hope things get better for you. Try to have a happy holiday. How did you make out with those dogs you took in? Did the owner take them back or at least pay you? This may be an alternative few extra bucks for you. You seem to be an animal lover and a caring person.I don't live near you, but I would rather leave my Golden with you than some kennels around here. Thus, I do not go away if I can't take my dog. Hope things pick up for you work-wise.
Easy backup file transfer alternative for non-tech-savvy client
Hello all,

I have a new client who is not tech-savvy at all. She lost her Transcriptionist and transcriptions are backing up. She is so desperate she is willing to try digital with me. (yay) I hope everything with the FTP setup goes easily for her, but if for some unforseeable reason we cannot get it to work, I was wondering if someone here could recommend an easy alternative, if only to get the first few dictations to me while we work out the FTP. She is incredibly frustrated and on edge at the moment, so anything to ease this transition would be a lifesaver!

Thank you all so much for your help!

KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY

e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place.  The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you.  If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

I intended to email it- already email the mods to remove

Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone.  The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write.

and I also got an email in my home email--sm
address for a similar type of *job opportunity* today, although it was not this person's name. I can't believe the presumptiveness of some of these people! Don't they realize that they are taking jobs away from us and probably doing something illegal, to boot? I sent the email to the authorities this morning after reading it. T'd me off!

Hey MI-MT, could you email me please? sm
I'd really like to find out where you're working, if you don't mind saying.  I'm looking for oncology work too.  Thanks!
Not sure how to do the email.
It is hard to meet people here. Can see the Strip from my upstairs window, but not much of a gambler. Not quite ready for the senior center yet, but bingo can be fun. I'm a hockey fan, so golf would kill me.
How can you let someone email you from here?
What is the way to let someone contact you w/o putting your email address?
Email me if you like

There should be a reply by email option.  I don't see it for you, but if you want to email me you can.


 


 


I got the same email and I can't go along with it

They'll have to supply a computer for me and if it is because of this restriction, then it will have to be free to me.  This company monitors this board very closely also so I'm glad to see the responses here.   I don't  keep my email on my hard drive anyway. I keep my email on my email server and not on my hard drive.  I wonder if I would be required to give them my personal log in information to my email server?


Hmm, this should be interesting.


Did not get the email

I, by accident, posted the wrong email address.  It ought to be (e-mail address edited out of post), so if you could resend it, I would be most appreciative.


Thanks

They sent out an email
In September/October stating that all MTs who keep a quality score above 98% will be getting an annual raise on their anniversary with the company. This went into effect in October, I believe.

I do not have the email any longer so I'm not sure exactly how much the raise is each year.
