Repeat after me: I love my job, I love my job. :) nm

Such a great movie! Still love the soundtrack

Whatever u do, do not, I repeat
unless you like being taken for a total ride. Lost wages, line stealing, lied to, work 7 days a week so their pockets can get fatter and yours gets thinner. Just some friendly advice for job seekers. 
Might be a repeat but ..
did you try click on VIEW, TOOLBARS and make sure ADDRESS is checked. If it is then uncheck it and check it again and see if it reappears.
Also check on your standard toolbar where the front and back arrows, refresh, stop and home buttons are. I have accidentally drug mine onto that line before and it was a smaller version of it. If it is there you should be able to click and drag it down to it's own line.
I repeat.......
.. the company knowingly broke the law! Nine years ago none of us knew anything about this subject. She didn't complain because she didn't know any better, but she's still a victim.
REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT
It is NOT illegal to collect Social Security OR disability and still work.....I was just trying to find out how I could work and not make over the $900 a month I was allowed to earn. What is WRONG with you people?????
I am probably going to repeat SM
what a few other people have said. You must prepare yourself in order to be successful in getting an at-home job. You must have a headset, a pedal and books already. How are you taking tests with no books?
You must also own a Book of Style if you are trying to get a job at one of the national companies. You must know it before you test.
You must KNOW that you are going to be able to type at least 1200 lines per day and that DOES NOT include headers/footers and sometimes even spaces. Do you know whether your current line count includes those?
You must be prepared, if you have this many years of experience, to put out your 1200 lines per day within a week or so. If you are angry about something and your response is to drop your line count to 600 at a service, their answer to you will be see you later, have a nice life.
To be crying at work and not speaking to your manager is not a good thing, but you also should know that working from home is no cup of tea. You will receive email with feedback you may not like, calls or email from an account supervisor that contain things that make you upset. How will you handle that?
let me repeat what I said before
The element of control!
You got it, they don't.
The service (or client, if you call directly into it) has just so many lines and connections available. How will a service stay in business if they have 500 MTs and all of them want to work from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.? So, they give the element of control to you ... "which time slot would you like to work?" There's nothing that says you can't bargain with them. I know you can, 'cause I have. I've had a problem with insomnia for years, so I'll work 2-3 hours until 5 -6 a.m. and then I go back to sleep for a while. When I get up again, I'll return to work for the rest of "the work day." That's one of the things I bring to the table. If the MTSO wants you badly enough, they'll negotiate on the times. If they won't, you don't work for them. You have the element of control.
As far as not knowing the law ... well, there's a very specific reason why you're told up front if you'll be an IC or not. And if you don't know what an "IC" is, you need to find out. If it applies to working and you get paid, go to the www.irs.gov website. No disrespect intended, but not doing that is as foolhearted (sp?) as taking a medication without knowing the side effects.
My temperament is such that there are some things I'm not willing to do. Work YOUR schedule (not you, personally) is one of them. I also won't work outside the home or learn a platform (i.e. DocScribe) ... no system is telling me how many lines I transcribed. That alone restricts my options of who I can work for. But, it's a risk I'm willing to take. So far, I've been lucky.
The bottom line is ... know what's expected of you BEFORE you apply for a job. But, don't apply for a position and when you're told that XYZ is "required," say "that's illegal by IRS laws." I've already been through it, and I'll tell you what the IRS told me: "If you have the element of control, you're an IC."
And for the record ... an IC sets the line rate, not the service. They also determine the manner in which lines are counted (i.e. Sylcount, Abacus). People need to keep that in mind the next time they applying for a position.
I have said this before and will repeat again
I have worked on Escription now for the same hospital, outsourced and once again picked up working for the same hospital on Escription, same platform, nothing changed. DO NOT count on Escription taking over anyone's job. My dictators have for the most part remained the same. Escription started out as better than I would have expected and life was good. For whatever reason, it has gone to a lot of salad this day (mixed up mess) and it does things now it did not do in the first place such as not putting in periods at the end of a sentence and knowing the next word (which is capitalized) is start of new sentence, does not insert physician's names when said (and if it does incorrect such as Dr. Brown), does not number in sequence (it did when I first started on the same system) so when you say VR will eventually take over, I see every day where it has a long way to go. It is so irritating to me now because of what I knew it could do when I started about 4 or 5 years ago and now such a mess. It is not because of the dictators and I have no idea why. I sometimes have numbering going from 1 to 4, 4, 4, 4, 4 and then 1 and so on, well you get the picture. Thank your lucky stars if you have Escription that works HALFWAY right because mine has gone to the dogs.
I repeat, the price of everything, the value of nothing.nm

Do NOT get Vista. I repeat - DO NOT!
Better to buy a system at Best Buy and load your own software (i.e., XP Home Edition).
I repeat - and YOU have never had a typo?

repeat offenders
I used to transcribe dictation from this one guy who was a chronic um-er and and uh-er and paper shuffler. Just for the heck of it, once I counted how many times he said "um" or
"uh" in a three-minute dictation, and it was something like 45 times! OMG, ridiculous! I've always thought that a good punishment for terrible dictators would be that they have to transcribe their own dictation for awhile!
Know this is probably repeat question but...
What are you using for a computer? I think in the past you said a laptop but I am not sure. Also, if it is a laptop, did you have to add extra memory, etc., to load all the software programs you need? I am very interested in what works as I have such back problems I had to let a lot of business go and am sorry with all this economy stuff, had I had your brain and done it your way, it would have been worth the investment. I just worry some won't accept a laptop, etc. Appreciate your comments, you are truly a "helping" person, that was the reason I chose this profession but not too many want to part with help. Kudos to you.
My calendar says it's repeat the same sentence over-n-over day

Hey, it took us over 8, I repeat 8 weeks to sign my FIL up for cable TV.
US-based call center, talked to a different ENGLISH-speaking person....and they still didn't get it right for 8 weeks, 10 phone calls, no joke. It's not all the fault of the offshore workers, it's right here on our own soil. Go figure!
Dont mean this situation. Mean repeat blanks,

You step on someone's foot to get them to repeat what they said if you didn't hear them the
first time.
LOL...this IS fun 
Guess you missed the part about deleted posts. Sorry, can't repeat again

have ya'll seen this movie sm
called Napolean Dynamite? If you have teens, maybe you have heard of it. If you wanna rent a movie this weekend that is totally mindless and just plain funny, rent this one! OMG, my 14 YOD has watched it four times since we've had it. It's just funny!
So are you saying you actually saw the movie?
If you did, then you would know they would never have gotten married if society had accepted their lifestyle and they did not have to fear for their lives.
It was a TV movie, first
After getting work at Universal (legend is he sorta snuck in), Spielberg was given Duel as his first directing job. It was a TV movie (I remember seeing it way back then). It was later released to theatres in 1983, most likely due to Spielberg's success with ET and other films at the time.
It's remarkable how simple a film it was (i.e., low budget). Only about 3 actors, with Weaver in every scene. It reminds me of a Stephen King type suspense, although none of the movies made of King's work has done nearly as well.
Some interesting comments about the film can be found at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067023/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9ZHVlbHxmdD0xfG14PTIwfGxtPTUwMHxjbz0xfGh0bWw9MXxubT0x;fc=1;ft=206;fm=1
any movie must see and
I highly recommend The Machinist, it kept me interested as to whats going on until the very end, and I had to watch it again to catch the little hints. I just rented and saw Red Eye, HORRIBLE...some parts were predictable and others were ridiculous. Don't tell me other passengers don't notice when someone gets head-butted hard enough to draw blood. Big disappointment. Anyone else?
probably his best movie!
It showed the insurance companies for what they are; money-grubbing killers.
I think anyone here who thinks this is a good system should try to put herself (or himself) in place of those denied a claim for a procedure to save a life.
It is callous and disgusting. As I said before, health care should not be a for-profit business.
War of the worlds movie.
Has anyone seen the new War of the Worlds movie and did the big, mechanical monster remind you of a giant colonoscopy at times? Just wondered if anyone else saw it and thought the same thing. ');>![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smile.gif")
This movie was so bad that we walked out of it!!

That's the scariest movie I ever saw! SM
I was 19 when I saw it - and I went home and slept in my parents' bed with them!
Sounds like a fun movie!
x
Wow! Wasn't that some movie!

good movie
Crash
I am so excited to see this movie.
I never saw his other 2 movies, but I am so glad he is making this, and I hope everyone will watch it.
He mentioned on Oprah that health insurance companies are required by law to turn a profit (for the benefit of their stock holders), and in order to turn a big profit they feel they need to deny care to patients that need it. The laws obviously need to be changed, and healthcare needs to be a right, not an outrageously expensive privilege!
What was that recent movie ...
Something where they were going to blow up a compound in Saudi, wasn't it?
did you see the movie Doc Hollywood?
it's about just that - it's sorta old, but so wonderful.
Outsourcing - the movie
Has anyone seen the recent movie Outsourcing? My husband and I rented it last night and it was quite good, and very relevant to what's happening in the MT business, although the business in the movie was actually a call center. It's a comedy about a call center manager whose whole department gets outsourced to India and he is sent over there to train his replacement and get the whole department up to standards. It's very funny actually, with a little romantic story line thrown in, to boot. It seemed pretty realistic in portraying what's happening in too much of American business today, and as MTs, we can all relate!
I am trying to find a movie still from The Pacifier of
BUT I CANT FIND ONE. I find movie stills from the movie, but for some reason NONE of that one. If anyone comes across one please send it my way..I really want to irritate my husband.
That a movie about gay cowboys is wonderful
And wins all the awards, but yet the Mel Gibson movie, The Passion of the Christ" caused such an uproar. It shows where Hollywood's mind is and their agenda for the rest of the country.
Thanks, can't wait to see it. I'm always up for a good movie. nm

We still have a Drive In movie theater. sm
It's located in a small town called Skowhegan and it's open during the summer.
No more speakers in the window. The sound comes through your radio. Make sure your car battery is good. No need to hide in the back as they charge by the car, regardless of how many people are in it.
Izzy was in a Hallmark movie also
It was a sweet story, catch it if you can....She was also in something else that I can't think of right now... a movie.. I'll think of it sooner or later...
Keeping with the movie theme........
share with me the good movies you have seen in the past year (I like to get PayPerView and have picked some STRANGE stuff lately!!!)
Thanks!!!! 
LOL...yeah, I think it is. Great movie!

my fave movie too....but not for Costner...nm
Loved that movie however unpopular.
I applaud Mel Gibson for making it.
Eight Below - great family movie. nm

Saw it yesterday, it was a very good movie.
NM
There is also a good movie hopefully coming out soon. sm
it is more about maternity care in the US and how horrible it has evolved in the last decade or so. Lake and director Abby Epstein explore the intervention of modern medical practices in the birth process, which has led to alarming rates of drug-induced labor and cesarean sections performed in America. it actually has ricki lake in there too with her home births.

I knew there was a dell in there somewhere...LOL! Been a while since I seen the movie.

That was in a movie right? He looks great on award nights.
I like him because he seems to be focused on the part he plays and not on looking good and in some movies, especially the pirate movie, he looked not so good but was hilarious. He doesn't seem Hollywood to me all propped up and doing the guest appearances to promote his movies.
