Is this w/the built-in hand rest? Touch was nice, but the rest made my palms achey. Didn't

Congrats, girl, and get your share of any money that you share before he wipes you out. nm

MT class
I am wondering about how much transcribing is expected to be done a day. Number of reports, lines or maybe pages. I only have my students two times a week for one hour at a time. I don't want to give them too much or too little. Thank you.
What a class act
I think your line "Shove it where the sun don't shine" says it all. Medquist must be so proud to have you as an employee.
class
If you are classified as a Statutory Employee you can use the deduction. Be very careful. Got to irs.gov pulldown menu self-employed......You don't have to guess. You have to know the square footage of your dwelling, the square footage of the room you use as an office to get a % of what is used for work. Add up all of the utilities, interest, mortage, and multiply the %. That is your deduction. Sch C is probably easier. Home off deduction does you NO good if you have a NOL (net operating loss) from business earnings.
And then there is no class
NM
I also did this. One class from my BA.
I'm weighing my options and may go ahead towards a Master's degree but ultimately, I did so for the same reasons. In 5 years there are going to be so many MTs vying for fewer jobs that it will drive down wages and I'm not going there. So, I'll just learn to do something else.
You said it - in a word - class
The man just does his job (extremely well)and goes home to his family. No stupid hollywood publicity stunts, no games.
The class action against MQ by MTs should be about
forget about Ricca laws and tying it to hospitals and line counts.
They have lied and done smoke and mirrors to the point that there
probably could be a case made for that alone.
And why do we never hear anything more about the SEC case?
And the FBI case against MQ for sending military information over
unsecured lines?
What happened to all that?
We met in a Flirting class!
Class action...
I was involved in several of these suits - most of them with Medquist - and the biggest check I ever got was $3.61.
Once was middle class.
I was going to agree with you at first, but.... There is always food on the table, bills are paid. Have pretty much what I need, but as I get older I care about having a lot less. Certainly not rich, neither of us will be able to retire any time soon, although had we planned better, we might have been able to. So I guess that put's us sort of in the middle, huh?
Hardly. We will always have and need a middle class.
The middle class is supporting everyone. This is a socialistic society.
I work and make money to pay for my stuff.
I work and make money to pay for YOUR stuff.
Believe me, there is a need for a middle class in a society like this one. They're just apprehensive to use the "S" word because it sounds too much like *gasp* Communism!
Yes, we will always NEED a middle class,
but don't think it will ALWAYS be there....just look around you.... Maybe when the rich have to take care of the "working poor" we will see a turn-around, but then again maybe they'll just "forget" them. Don't have much faith in this economy. The poor are being ripped of any programs that existed just a few years ago. By the time the "middle class" hits bottom, there will be no help, no kind of any social programs in existance, just the rich and poor. Which will you be? Yeah, yeah, I'm pessimistic, but also realistic.
Sometimes - and taking a class
Maybe a computer class a little more advance than you are used to or a pick up one of the classes meant for LPNs or RNs (maybe just to sit in), a lecture from someone in the field, etc.
Class of 2006
Who said 0.00 because its just a high school graduation? My middle son just graduated this year and we did give him a huge graduation party with a buffet, cake, ice cream, balloons, napkins imprinted with his name and "Class of 2006" on them, etc. We did the party here in our home on a Sunday afternoon and invited family, close friends and a few teachers he had kept in touch with through the years. Yes, it was his job to earn the diploma and such was expected of him; however, the party was our reward to him for a job well done. He did receive lots of gifts -- some were money, some were things for college, etc. The monetary gifts ranged from $5 to $200. My son was just as grateful for the $5 gifts as he was for the $200 (grandparents). He also received only cards from a few people who attended, and he was still grateful for their sharing his special day. One of the gifts he was most excited about was a gift card to a bookstore. He spent a couple of hours wandering around trying to decide what books he wanted to purchase. Another gift he cherishes to this day is "A Book of Prayers for the Graduate." Don't give more than you can afford. If a card is the best one can do, then its enough because they're acknowledging an accomplishment and milestone in a young adult's life.
Me too and I have to take a math class, but I need to do something else, sm
cant outsource eating LOL
All I can say is rest when you need it and - sm
listen to the docs. I, personally, have not had cancer but after dealing with my 5-y/o Wilm's tumor (kidney cancer) this year, our family has been but through the wringer. Jen handled her chemo great, lost her hair with 2 treatments to go (had 14). Kids are great about that though, got a little self-conscious but after a few minutes in a new place would forget she had no hair. I got her a couple hats for the sun and for her to feel better too. Painted her head one day, had fun with it. She had good days and bad of course, but for the most part handled it all very well. Just had a clean ultrasound and chest x-ray today, yeah! She looks like a little boy now, with dirty blond hair (was an incredible shade of red before), with now the roots growing a new color, a strawberry blond/red, really pretty. So if you do lose your hair it may grow in different (probably will). Jen's was very fine before, now it is a lot thicker, still straight as a board though as it was. You may lose some weight too, but after chemo is done you will regain it once you get your appetite back. Best wishes to you and feel free to email ! 
Just take out 1/3 of the mix so far and add only 2/3 of rest
nm
If she's like the rest of us MTs out there...
She's doing an excellent job and just wishes the docs would WAKE UP and start doing the same. Docs ARE incompetent for the most part, and that's sad. But you go ahead and think they walk on water, honey. When they amputate the wrong leg during your operation, you'll be the first to scream, LAWSUIT!!!!
How is this different from the rest of us?
I haven't said this before, but I've been thinking it. So the suits only think about the bottom line and the doctors don't care whose jobs go overseas as long as it isn't theirs. How are we any different? How many of us cared that textile/garment workers jobs went overseas? Until the lead paint scare, how many of us cared that toy making jobs were going overseas? Do we stop buying the latest electronic gadgets, not to mention computers, because they are virtually all made overseas now? For the most part, we didn't worry about those jobs, so why would anyone care about ours? Wal-Mart, K-Mart and the other low-price retailers push their suppliers for ever cheaper products, and plants overseas are the best suppliers. Have we stopped shopping there, or is price all we care about, too?
about themselves? Help the rest of us
I think it is wonderful that you are making so much money. Why don't you help the rest of out and share your secretes? Please...I need all the help I can get at 7 cpl.
maybe not "back to school", but maybe a class or something sm
like a training/refresher course! Sheesh, I was just askin'! 
It is not a class action suit as of yet
It is not certified class action because MQ filed for the proceedings to be held in NJ with all the other law suits. Therefore, this is stalling the certification of the suit to class action. They have received numerous calls over the checks.
Of course they cannot offer legal advise as they are not representing all MQ MTs as of yet, it is still the original 3 that filed, but I don't think it would be wise to cash it. That is just me. I know there are those that will disagree and call me names, but thats my two cents.
Does the class action include the DEP
platform? Somewhere, don't remember where now, I thought I read the class action was about the old platform MedRite and was for a certain range of years. Is there info out there that the class action pertains to DEP also?
Am I lost - is this English class
Excuse me, Miss Smarty Pants - but this is NOT English class - go teach English somewhere else if you such strong desire!
Good for you. You've got class.
That is a lesson you're passing on to your kids. I don't blame you for being upset, but you should be pround of yourself for not asking for a handout.
Well by the looks of the class of people who have entered this
I think the majority of them actually are of an unskilled factory worker caliber. You see people on here with no respect for education and who resent others who do have degrees, you see people on here who are often at the doors of destitution and can't think outside the box to improve their quality of life, you see people living with relatives because they can't even afford a home of their own be it rented or owned, you see people on here who are bragging about their husbands making 10 dollars an hour as if that's really good money. Scary what's happened to the MT world. This used to be a respectable job, but not any more. It started going downhill when we left the hospitals and started working at home, which was good for us from a convenience standpoint, but it made a lot of people let themselves go physically since they didn't have to leave the house, it started attracting the socially inept because they didn't want to leave the house either, and the solitude of it all just made a lot of people miserable and angry. No thanks.
Back to school for me!
aerobics class 3x a week
gets me out of the house and mix with other people which helps, too.
I was in a class action suit once & got $600

A friend says to you, "I'm going to take the MT class to become an MT in 4 months."
A friend with children who wants to work at home, never typed a day in her life.
Agree that Linda was a class act, but...
She wasn't from that Eastman family.
Look at it this way, he will probably need it for more than 1 class eventually; or my daughter
needed Word which at the time I did not have, so our alternative was for her to stay after school and use their computers as I could not afford the program then.
Convinced the middle class.

Thinking of challenging a class - sm
I have been in transcription for nearly 20 years but I'm back in school. One of the classes I can challenge for the nursing program is Medical Terminology. It has been years and years since I took the class and the credit is too old. My options are taking it over or challenging. I would prefer to challenge.
My question is.......... does anyone know of a website where I can take a FREE practice medical terminology test?
Thanks
I received an opt-out of a class action
lawsuit involving a certain MTSO and the other party involved (think it was formerly AAMT). Anyway, since I won't get a dime even after having been ripped off all those years, I just threw it in the garbage. AAMT, or whatever they call themselves now, plans on keeping ALL settlement monies for their greedy little selves.
When I worked for the MTSO there were rumors flying around about the 90 character line count that was then converted to 55 characters before going to the client. The MTSO pocketed the rest. Guess it really wasn't a rumor after all. How sad.
The rest of the world
Thinks Americans are suckers. We help everybody, give money away to everybody, and then they all turn on us. I'm beginning to think they are right-- we ARE suckers! Maybe it's time to tell the rest of the world to take care of their OWN people and problems for a change.
Why? Except for the rent all the rest is the same everywhere.

I rest my case.

But then how will you be different from the rest of the kids?
I rest my case. nm

foot rest
 So do you put both feet and the pedal on the foot rest?
Foot rest
I also would like to know if anyone has an idea for a foot rest. I also have swollen feet at the end of the day. I looked at my daughter-in-law's foot stool for breast feeding and thought it might work since it is slanted. Off to Google this and see what I can find.
foot rest - sm
I found mine by Googling foot rest. You'll find lots of them, all shapes, sizes, and prices. I think mine came from Fellows, but cannot remember now. I love it. No more backache. Good luck with your search.
rest in peace!!!!
nm
Don't know what it is. :( Can you rest them on a heating pad in your lap before and while
s
I agree with the rest
Run, do not walk, away from this account. One day you won't be paid at all. I would rather not get paid for not working than not get paid because somebody kept the money that I had worked for. 
When typing, do you rest your --sm
wrists on the keyboard tray or hold them up in the air? Am having arm pain and have tried both ways but do not notice any difference.
Get some well-deserved rest (sm)
you are NOT a machine! Take some time and rest up, especially if you aren't feeling well. No one should have to endure that in this profession. Helping out is one thing, being taken advantage of is another. Get Well Soon!
