Is there a setting on the computer that causes your internet connect to time out - I cannot stay

mommy mommy!!!
>>>I only started making mean and offensive comments back when they did it to me first.
He hit me first!!! 
You sound like my kids when they were little.
If he is looking for a mommy ...
the only thing he will get from me is a spanking!! Half the time I can barely take care of myself .. the mere thought or having a grown man (most days) to take care of makes me laugh, honestly. I brought up one husband who died on me in spite of my expert care and I just don't know about doing that again. Reality is that once you lose someone it is very scary to think about the possibilities of having that happen to you again .. of course, 10 years younger should put me out of it way before him!
I'm a mommy again!
On another board I had been posting about my 2 yo girl at home. What I didn't say then is what I can now. I now have legal custody of her! I went from a single (young) middle-aged MT babysitting every other weekend to being a mommy as the mother wasn't in a place to be at her best. I suddenly found myself working one day and with a knock on my door, I became a mommy, just like that! I know this mother did the best thing for her child and I'm proud of her for that. She has already started taking steps to get herself back into a position of getting her daughter back and I'm supporting her ... well as best as I am able.
Geez, both my kids are in their early 20s so I haven't had to be mommy to a preschooler in a loooong time, plus I didn't do MT when mine were little. I've really been through a lot relearning how to be a mommy again. It really IS different today than it was all those years ago! I'm also learning how to juggle keeping little bit and trying hard to keep the impact of this change on my work committments.
I just wanted to say hurray! I'm a mom again! Celebrate with me and send me wishes to be able to figure out the working from home/mommy biz as quickly as possible! 
As long as he is not looking for a mommy
It takes men forever to grow up anyway, and a younger one sometimes wants a mommy to take care of him. As long as that is not how it is, I see nothing wrong with it. Men have been doing it forever, so why not?
I agree with you Mommy
It appears she just wants sympathy and for everyone to agree that QA is the problem. Any advice given her has been sneered at as irrelevant. If she'd rather work at Target than pay her dues to become a better MT, let her go right ahead.
you two are the exception to the mommy rule(sm)
Most MT mommies got into this business solely for the purpose of staying at home and making a little extra cash on the side. They try to juggle the kids and MT and the diaper changes always come before that STAT report. And, yeah, I know what I'm talking about because I used to work in the hospital and that was always the way with the at-home mommy MTs. There was always an excuse as to why they couldn't do this or couldn't do that.
for MT Mommy and all the other 'aliases' under which you are postting here........
Why do you assume that I am not qualified?
My grammar is definitely better than yours.
You are only blabbering nonsense and making unfounded assumptions.
Why am I answering your st.....comments anyways.
I have to stop this, you are so ridiculous and pathetic.
"Mommy, Mommy, why can't I get a gourd from that mean Amish Lady?"

Is it their computer? Why are they installing a firewall and autocorrect on your computer? That sm
is usually the responsibility of the transcriptionist, especially if an IC or SE. Which company?
Question about transfering computer into to another computer.. sm
I have a dumb question - Just bought a new computer and someone told me to get a flash drive to transfer all my info. But I'm assuming that ExText that I work off of and Escription will have to be downloaded again by the tech people onto my new computer. I can tranfer these can I?
Thanks
How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?
I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this. I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer. Thanks so much.
A computer is a computer, whether it be laptop or desktop.
I have both and use both and I bought both of mine...most companies do not provide computers...

And you stay with him why?

Stay away
This is the worst company to work for, please take everyone's advice. Certain accounts get put on what they call a lock out for depositing THEIR checks that bounce constantly!!! Then you can't get the money you are owed! There are so many better companies. Please look for one except this one.
I will stay.

I would stay where you are (sm)
until January. This is already a stressful time of year (the holidays) and you'd just be adding to your stress by learning a new job. Although your new employer may grant you the time off, it most certainly would be without pay. Good luck!
stay
I would stay for the house, nothing better than peace of mind in having your own home.
They should stay away,
it is nothing but a pyramid scheme, no matter what anyone tries to tell you!!!
Stay far away!
The owner is a lunatic. You should look elsewhere.
I would stay away if I were him, too
Do not blame him at all!
Help! They won't stay. :(
I had to set my home page as the main forum page here in order to get the links to "stay"/show up. Does anyone know, what might I need to change in NAV in order to get the links to stay without having to use this as my home page?? I normally click on the main forum page from my Favorites.
TIA.
If your DH wants you to stay out of it...
then I think you should.
Just my opinion. If you don't want to fight with him over it, then don't. Why should this other woman's indiscretions cause problems in YOUR marriage?
You are probably better off to stay out of it.
I can't see why an administrator would have to "make-up" anything unless she's covering her own butt or the MT's that work under her. Is she making it up because the dictation was erased by mistake or the doctor didn't dictate it in the first place. I just can't see someone putting themselves on the chopping block when it is simply a matter of asking the doctor to dictate the report. Is this an MTSO? I know there are certain things that are legal which is to state at the bottom of the document "dictated not read". To me this basically means the doctor trusts the report was transcribed/handled in the proper manner.
If you really think about it there are probably more errors made by MT's and doctors overlooking things in their reports because they won't take the time to read them thoroughly then this situation of an administrator "making-up" reports.
I'm not sure I'd want to be involved unless I knew for sure. I think you are better off just doing what is expected of you as an MT. JMO. Stay cool..... 
I'd stay out of it.
A workflow coordinator isn't necessarily QA, so as long as she's not correcting your reports, she may do just fine making sure everything goes where it needs to and arrives on time.
If she IS QA-ing or changing your transcribed reports, then I'd say you have a right to bring it to someone's attention.
VR is here to stay...
I agree, it is less money, and sometimes the reports can take even longer than it would to type it, but then you get the really good reports in between that only take a few minutes.
VR is not going away, so somehow we need to embrace it and make it work for us. There will be a few companies that will stay with straight typing, but that is because they do not want to spend the money or time to train the VR. My accounts are 80% VR and 20% typing, so I do still get to type and balance out the $$$$, and it is not easy, but I still prefer it over typing all day.
stay or go
Tough call... I worked for a local group until October 2008. We heard about EMR coming for more than 3 years before it actually started to become implemented. That particular group did go with a point and click system and indeed, when they went to it, that was it. With over 25 doctors, though, they brought it in one department at a time. I will say this... when it became obvious that the time was drawing near (training sessions for other employees, etc) and we all started to get that antsy feeling you describe, the "head guy" came in and held a meeting with us in the transcription department. He stated (falsely) that it would be a year AT LEAST before any of our MT jobs would be at risk and assured us that we'd be offered positions (in house, of course) elsewhere in the offices. Needless to say, that ONE year was less than 5 MONTHS.
If you're feeling antsy and it's giving you so much grief, I would definitely start my search for other IC work. I mean, if you've no benefits to lose and you know you've no interest in anything in-house with them (IF it'd be offered), then why cause yourself heartache..
Just my opinion from a "been there, done that" perspective.
Thanks, but I try to stay away from DQS...sm
i just never liked that platform and never could get the hang of it. I will stay where I am because I plan on retiring from this profession for good in a few months. :)
Stay or Go
Love the company for what?? It's kindness. Jump ship before its too late, as it is for me. I loved my company too!
Well, er, ummm, I can't stay away. Let's just say that.

Stay away from M-TEC. Do a search here for more

All you need to do is stay there for 3-6 months to get the
We all start out in really crappy jobs, but stay there because it looks good on the resume for a better company. My first place I worked with, I had to work with a guy who had no idea what he was doing, would type just about anything he wanted just to get paid (at that time 7 bucks an hour was big bucks) and when i'd correct him, because it would look bad on me too (there were only two of us per shift in the small room connected to the ER), he'd flip me off behind my back and make faces. It was complete nonsense, but it got me into a better company.
Our QA stay on the same page. Here's how. sm
We give feedback to our MTs on every report that comes through QA. The way our QA staff stays on the same page is to provide feedback to the MTs and we BCC to the other members of QA along with a BCC to the QA manager. We SEE what QA is telling the MTs and if we have a question, we ask amongst ourselves. We stay on the same page. That way, if an MT decides that they want to say a QA person told them something, we all know what was said.
It is a wonderful way to stay on the same page. It also is a great way to help the MTs.
We work with our MTs very closely.
Stay away from SoftScript
Please read further down this board. There are MTs threatening law suits against this company. Not only are they rude, but they promise you the moon and once you start working for them don't deliver. Many of these MTs are complaining about SS stealing their lines. The line counter software shows how many lines you transcribe, but this is not jiving with the pay they are receiving. The QA manager is a totally incompetent ass. Just do yourself a favor and stay away. There are many other companies out there who are good to work for, but not this one.
Stay at home DAD???
Any wives out there have a stay at home dad? Or, any dads out there a stay at home dad? Today is my husband's last day of work (YEAH!!!) I am very happy, he was a branch manager of a huge company and was working 13 to 15 hours a day. We readjusted and got rid of some bills and he QUIT!! I told him to take AT LEAST 2 months off before he even thinks about working again.
Since I work at home, any tips for making him feel great about what he is doing? I happen to know that staying at home with kids is the hardest job in the world and I want him to feel appreciated. Also, I am worried about us getting in each other's hair too much since I stay at home also. Any advice? I know it is kind of a strage situation, but we are very thankful and blessed that we get to do this. He missed out a lot on my 5-year-olds growing up and he doesn't want to miss anymore (we also have a 2-year-old and planning for 2 more within the next 3 to 4 years)
The best stay at home Dad
My hubby stayed home with our 3 kids when our twins were born. Our oldest was 5 when they were born. Since I had the better job, he stayed home with them during the day and worked at night after I got home. He is the best Dad. The twins are now 9 and they all are so close to their Dad. He cooks, cleans, does laundry, take the kids everywhere (the last favorite thing they did was a fishing derby when he left with the kids and all the neighbor kids at 5:30 am). This week they spent a whole day at Grandpa's farm. He even kept 2 other kids when he was a stay at home Dad to earn extra money for groceries. It is wonderful to see how close children can be to their Dad. These are memories they will never forget. So bravo to all the Dads out there that have stayed home with their children. It is not an easy job, but many blessings come with the job.
I have been there -just say "I'm so sorry" and stay quiet.
a cooked meal sounds great!!! A good time to do that is after the hoopla has died down and she is faced with emptiness. That is when most people think you should be *over it* - she won't ever be. If you are a close friend, send her a card on the child's next birthday and on the 1st anniversary of his/her death. The mother will love you for it. Mention the child in conversation whenever you can, but don't force it.
and p.s., you are entitled to your own feelings, so gripe about anything you want!
If it was me, I'd stay right where you're at.
$15 an hour is a pretty good thing to throw away for being paid on production, especially if you'll have three kids underfoot interrupting you every five minutes.
This problem is here to stay
Big businesses need these guys for cheap labor. America is a money making whore, excuse the term. The middle man will be cut out in no time, so there will only be dirt poor and filthy rich. I walk outside my house and I wonder what country i'm in with all the different languages I hear. I'm not prejudice by any means, just this country is so greedy and it doesn't take care of its own first, just bugs me.
Stay there in India.
And the companies want to outsource their work to these freaks. They spell careers as "carriers". LOL. I guess they don't care about quality transcriptionists that's for sure.
Hope he gets to stay.
It won't be the same without him.
Why stay in a bad situation?
Sounds like YOU don't have work maybe. But as my own boss, if the company using my services, paying me on production, does'nt have work and thinks I am just going to sit there staring at a blank screen making no money, they are sadly mistaken. I would be out of that situation faster than you could click a mouse. I am in charge of my future, my paycheck, my family's welfare. Why would I give some lousy company control over all of that, if they had no work for me and especially, no money for me.
Oh yeah, it is here to stay!
I can't give it a rest because it is what I saw. I know it is hard to believe, but you have to. It is the truth. That is why she is the adminstrator of a forum. So she can stay behind closed doors and only go out occasionally.
Stay away from MQ forum! LOL...nm
stay with hospital
If a MT is fortunate to find a hospital employee position, I think she/he would stay. I know I would. Sometimes the hospital will offer an at home position. After 16 years as a MT, it is quite a mess out there in regards to salary. Up to 2003 I made $16+ for transcribing and $18/hour for QA. The company was sold and there were a lot of unanswered questions with the new owners from India. Since then I have made as low as $5 but quit that real fast, guess with what national. Right now I have found a job that pays by the gross line at home as an employee. Take care.
That's where I stay when I go. You will never be bored
and then go to the Ocean's Club. They have some condos you can rent that are part of Atlantis too that are quite nice and they are within walking distance and you get to use all the amenities. That is where I would say to go.
Stay away from AT&T/SBC....they will cut you off-it happened

STAY IN YOUR CHAIR! :-)

Stay tuned! (sm)
I'm working on a productivity blog right now that will have the info you need to easily learn IT and other programs that will boost your productivity.
This blog will be absolutely free, available to anyone, and will offer daily productivity tips.
I've seen too many posts here and on other MT forums offering to share productivity secrets for a mentoring fee or other payment and decided to put as much info out as I could myself for free.
I'm not providing the link today because I want to have a week's worth of material blogged before I show it to people, but I felt for you on reading your post and wanted to give you a heads up.
Is anybody able to stay in shape
while doing MT because it is such a sedentary job. I currently work 1 FT and PT job, both doing MT, and find I am having trouble not putting on weight. Is it possible to work as an MT and not get fat (or fatter)? Any tips or suggestions for a fiftyish grandmother would be appreciated.
