WHAT IS A GOOD LINE RATE FOR EDITING POSITION?nm

Buy if from your husband. Have him write you a receipt. Write it off completely or
depreciate it over a few years.

greenfl3@yahoo.com...and thanks.
I found out a long time ago that there are two kinds of editing.. one is editing MTs work (like QA)
and the other is editing as in VR. I have done VR editing, but when I put down this as experience on a resume, I was asked by the HR person if this meant that I had "edited" other MTs work. I think there is a lot of confusion out there and I wish they would just keep that as QA instead of calling it editing. Just be clear in what you want to edit as most companies that expect you to "edit" other MTs in a QA position do require you have a lot of experience. If you just going for VR editing, which is what Transcend has available and there are a few companies out there doing VR, none of which I think really require much experience as it is easy to learn. Hope I made some sense and it can be pretty confusing on how companies use the term "editing" thus it effects their expectations as far as experience goes.

Sid from MDI-MD, I lost your email addy...sm
Hi Sid, I lost your email addy. Would like to speak wtih you some more, update you - please email me....thanks.
Tried to e-mail and said addy was not valid.
Most likely you would need a USB pedal or an adapter to convert any other type of foot pedal. There are numerous options available as far as internet - cell phone, dial-up, WiFi, satellite, air cards. It depends on how you will be traveling and where you will be staying. You need to have a primary plan and a backup.
job post had the dot com left off the addy, but...
even sending emails to the correct dmmt.com domain is pointless because they're not replying to them
If you list you email addy in your reply,
I'll email you privately.
Just backspace over it. I think they just want an e addy so someone is accountable for the post.

I have,however Ms. Jester comes in under a diff. email addy to
to post. Everytime she comes on to post, I ban her. What is unprofessional about posting the truth about a company owner who is not doing the right thing by paying unpaid wages? I'll go ahead and answer. Nothing.
Editing is the higher skill. I earn more editing SM
because I'm able to produce more--if the company doesn't adjust the way production's figured down and down again to keep the account from going elsewhere (when that happened to me on EditScript with no explanation of why my income was dropping, I went elsewhere also).
Doesn't work that way with me. I just did a test from my other email addy to the other one, decl

Question about Editing for those who do editing
What would you consider to be the average amount of lines a day of editing based on a 65 space line in an 8 hour day. If you can do an average of 1200 straight typing what would be the expectation for a day of editing? What do you think is a fair rate of pay for that editing? Do you know of companies that offer a tiered incentive rate for editing rates to do most of them offer a flat rate for lph? Do you find you make more money, less money or about the same than straight typing? Thanks to anyone who is willing to share this information. Feel free to email if you would rather share by email.
VR editing versus MT editing pay
Greetings,
How does VR editing prod. pay compare to hourly pay ($15) regular QA and constantly being threatened to start being payed production. Are there any special tricks to know to make good money on a VR program? Any companies that have VR and are better than other ones would be appreciated as well. Any and all assistance much appreciated-have to make a change shortly, so looking for a great company that offers ins. benefits. Thanks for your time.
If you are having any problems validating your email addy, please email support@mtstars.com

Why would you write someone up
gee that is very encouraging, I have been disciplined even with my current job when I was in the mentor program but not written up !!!!! That style of company is not for me, I should have listened to the posts of how they are sweet and than watch out... I'm sure a lot of people are happy with them they seem to have a lot of employees
I just had to write this....
I am now one week free from my best friend is what I like to call smoking.. This was difficult to give up and for the first time in my life I sat in a nonsmoking section at a restaurant yesterday, I can run a mile, I am alert and awake and feel good, my skin is actually looking younger. I have attempted to quite many many times... The conclusion to this was its my body, I control my body, cigarettes do not control me, I control me, God gives us one body enjoy it, take care of it, REMEMBER ITS YOUR BODY... Sorry if this offends anyone I just needed to voice myself for I feel free for the first time in my Life....
Do you write down your (sm)
job numbers. How do you keep record of work completed each day?
They need to write one about MTs
Synthroid 25 mg --hello? I have to change that one all the time. Or how about clonidine for anxiety? Or one of my personal faves respiratory rate 70, heart rate 16...happens all the time. Ladies give yourselves a pat on the back for fixing and "spotting" all of THEIR mistakes!
to write or not to write
I have always put on my resumes that I have the ability to transcribe foreign accented physicians and never had any comment made about it, so guess it worked for me. The QA part, would state as you suggested, experienced in quality assurance....would look oh so pretty on the resume by all means. Good luck.
You can write off anything you want to, you just have to
be able to document it if you get audited. I would have DSL if I didn't need it for work and my whole family uses the internet so I can't in good faith write it off. Even if I wouldn't have it if not needed for work I'm sure you still use it for personal use.
Why you should write it down
The purpose to keeping a log of everything you do that is not actual transcription, i.e., is not typing to generate lines, is to show you how much time you spend not-working.
This can be a considerable amount of time. It's important to get a handle on it, though, because it goes a long way toward showing you where you can become more efficient.
Awareness of the "not-work" time -- I hesitate to call it wasted, because some of it is purposeful, even if it doesn't generate income -- is necessary if you are to control it.
Nearly everybody pops up out of the seat if it is a difficult dictator. When I code something difficult, I jump right up and find all sorts of errands to run. It's much easier to stay in the seat and stay focused if you are aware that you keep leaping up to run around.
Even taking a sip of coffee takes a few seconds. Looking away to the TV takes a split second here and there. Answering the phone takes a couple more. Pretty soon it's a whole minute, then an hour. If you have one hour a day in non-income-generating activities, if you made $10 per hour, you'd lose $10 a day, $50 a week, $200 a month, $2400 a year. Double that if you made $20 per hour.

Tax write off
Anyone know if we can write off our losses in the stock market last year. I have no clue as I have always made money. I sure my accountant is busy or I would call him. Just curious, as my hubby took a big hit, should have listened to the bunionmeister.  Listen next time hubby. 
We should ALL write them &
tell them why we don't want to be members. Seriously - although the following quote comes to mind: 
I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member - Groucho Marx
Oohhh, I like that. I'm going to write that down!! Thanks!! nm
..
You can only write off the percentage actually used...
for work. Who uses 40% of the space in their house??? I write off 10-15%. You also must use that work area for work only. Come audit time (and it eventually may happen), you will need to show a floorplan of your house and what area is for work exclusively. If you're writing off 40% you will be in deep doo-doo. 
Proper way to write
n/m
You have it write Broke!!!
You are exactly right. Ooooh let me buy that huge TV or put a brand new Lexus in the driveway. please. Christmas is about giving not about receiving and it is not about giving presents. It is our time and our love that is needed most, especially this time of year. We do the same here. Make presents for each other, make the decorations for the tree, donate our time and our money to those who need it. Soup kitchens, Salvation Army, local homeless shelters, etc, etc. We have never "not" been able to afford going crazy on Christmas presents for our own families, but really just never wanted. Our entire family feels it is much more important to spend on those who most need our help. Kudos for you and a very merry Christmas!!!!!!
Better yet...write a book...
Merry Christmas
I have done both and prefer IC because I can write
everything off. You have to be very diligent about receipts and setting aside tax money though.
The only real difference in pay between the two is 7.25% for social security (self employment. You have to put aside the taxes rather than have the company pay them for you but either way, that tax money comes out of your check not the company's pocket.
Mine was before I became an MT. I used to have to write
a lot, using a lot of fine motor grip, took maybe 2 years. Typing doesn't bother me unless I do a 12 hour day, but then with rest it is usually better.
I suggest wearing a splint/splints to bed because you may bend your wrists in your sleep and that will contribute to the problem. Keeping them straight really helps. My orthopod recommended 15 minute soaks - cold, hot, and then cold again.
I recommend lowering your keyboard tray if possible and putting a pillow in your lap and then the keyboard on your pillow. This helps take a lot of the stress off. I also find that I sit straighter with my back pressed against the back of my chair. If that doesn't work for you put a towel, folded at least once, under your keyboard on your tray and that will help take some of the stress off also, though not as much as the pillow. If you use a normal-sized bed pillow there is enough pillow to also rest your wrists on and to me is just more comfortable than having an edge of the wrist pad. I couldn't get used to a gel one. If you are using a mouse have it on your keyboard tray where you don't have to bend your wrist as much to use it.
There are vitamins/supplements that are supposed to help too. I'm sorry I can't remember when they are but you can Google it.
My last surgery was 17 years ago and I find that when I grip things, like a rake when doing yard work that my wrists hurt, but it doesn't hurt when I type, different muscles I guess. I have lost some strength in my hand. I was the one that always opened the jars no one else could and now I'm not able to open them.
Whatta Re-write!
Weird AL Yankovic could not have done a better re-write. ROFLOL!!!! Priceless, just priceless. Good job!

If you ever write a check
you have given your banking information to everybody who sees that check.
we could all write a book
I've had so many funny things happen working in hospitals and doing medical transcription in hospitals and at home. I wish I had written them all down. We could all write a book! Today has been fun what with the polls and the trips down memory lane we've taken today.
I would write one more letter and CC: to
the insurance commissioner and your insurance company. Write the letter to your physician's office, enclose copies showing proof of your payment of co-pays one more time. I found whenever I had CC to the Insurance Commissioner, then people got serious about finding the correct records...
Get a tax guy now. His fee is a write-off, of which you will want as many as you can get. Things wi

Can I write off all my DSL charges
on taxes. I assumed I could, but now somebody is telling me not if I use it for personal stuff that I would have to figure out how much I used it for personal, and how much I used it for work. Of course I wouldn't have DSL if work did not require it, so why should I not be able to write off the whole cost.
I write off everything I use for work- sm
part of the house electric -30%, heat 30%, phone (1 line is all work, and the other line I write off half as I am on the phone more for work than personal use), all my MT books, computer, printer supplies, programs, FTP services, etc. Whatever I use for work gets written off 100%. I keep receipts for everything and a log of the electric and propane costs.
I write off half my DSL
I am sure I use it more like 3/4 time for work, but half to be safe. Tax Cut, from H&R Block, goes through the deductions with you and it is simple.
Will write more to you shortly - have a lot to say (sm)
Quickly I want to say this - first, many of the rules that you are living by are self-imposed. You are extremely intelligent and eccentric and you are creating a mental cage for yourself, trapping yourself in your own mind by saying that you can't do this and can't do that. I have trapped myself in situations for years before realizing that it was within my own power to set myself free. It is for you too. Saying that you can't work for other people is inaccurate. It may be true that you do not want to work for others or do not enjoy it but it is not true that you cannot do it. Many people don't want to work for others but you may have to do it at least in the short-term while you wait for your online businesses to take off.
Also, as far as getting psychiatric help you can go to the emergency room. When you feel that you should never have been born, that is a sign that you need to go and get help. You need an antidepressant. At the very least you need some fresh air and sunshine. I will write more later.
You can write off your mileage
to get into. As far as blocking your schedule, that's your fault, not the office's fault. Would you charge an online company a "sit and wait" for dictation charge because you blocked your morning? Hello? You have to be very flexible in this business. I have gone and there's only 1 tape to pick-up. I really don't care to know the doctor's daily schedule because I have enough to worry about, but high-paying jobs are hard to find. It sounds like you've made up your mind in that you don't like the driving, office, or the dictator himself, so what kind of advice are you looking for? If you just want to know whether to charge for a pick-up that brings you home empty-handed, then no do not charge. Why don't you talk to your overflow account and find out if this happens can you take work? I just don't get some of you gals... Really this allergist does not "owe you a tape" everytime you come in and I'm wondering if you are going to return reports. If you are returning reports, then your trip was not wasted. 
P/S: It could be worse; they could NOT PAY!!!!! LOL Good luck...
They won't get you any better $$ or position than you can get on your
own. They recruit for companies that already post here. I didn't accept the position because I had heard too many bad things about the company, had interviewed with the company myself previously and been offered the same thing as what TM was able to get for me and it was no better than what I am making now. The testing is very easy with TM, though you may have to also test with the company, so it wouldn't hurt to try, but don't get expectations too high.
HTH.
I too am in this position but am not quite sure what to do.
Others such as myself (from the non-paying company we worked for) have done a lot of investigating and this is what they told me--The Department of Labor doesn't care because I wasn't an "employee"--only an IC (basically an "Accounts Payable" with no real rights). I personally haven't tried the Better Business Bureau. I did think about contacting the accounts I was working for, but, after reviewing my contract with my ex-MT company, decided I would be in violation of the contract if I contacted the client.....it's a Catch 22.....I would be in violation of the contract, but they are in violation of the contract by not paying me.....I decided not to work a two-week notice (which I did feel badly about at the time), but, if I had, I would now be owed six weeks of pay, not four!
Please post if you get any satisfaction through any of these actions. I would dearly love to get my $1000+. I've never been in a situation where I had to deal with some psycho who won't pay me what is due.
position
Would be interested in finding out which hospitals in NY are hiring. I have been seeking a position in any hospital in Nassau County on Long Island for a while now. Any leads would be appreciated.
