Let me guess ... 10 guys standing around and 1 working!!

Those must be the guys working on accts I am editing.

Hey, we could be working for the same place. Been there 2 1/2 months, now get ready for change. nm
Merry Christmas to all hard working guys & gals in the MT industry!

Yes. Three months paid training? That's just ridiculous unless you're working
in the office. What service can afford to pay an MT for three months of training?
has anyone else had trouble getting on this site today?
I have been trying all morning and kept getting a message that the website no longer existed. I was beginning to have withdrawal symptoms! Thank goodness it's still here.
Did anyone else have this problem today?
Once you give notice and quit working, how many days/weeks/months
are you covered by your medical/dental insurance? My employee handbook does not mention this. Is there a "standard" period of time that you remain covered? TIA for your reply.
just read article today that it's become bad site.
I've been having trouble accessing this site today, too.

working today
Yes, us I.C.'s don't much in the way of overtime, do we? I have been working some today, but was not asked to. Actually I don't this company has ever asked me to work a holiday; i just get bored and do it!
I'm working today
With my oldest two kids in college, I have no choice! I can't believe the cost of an education these days.
working today
Happy New Year! Is anybody other than me working today?
working today
Unfortunately I did have to work pretty much today. I have 2 piles of work on my desk all the time. We just came back from vacation and the work just sits there until I return. They are 2 private accounts, very nice people to work for, but there is always a lot of work. One of them gave me a bonus and told me, when you get back you are going to work hard, right? I said, i have been workjing very hard the week before, but they understand and work with me, Thank God for the work, with so many people out of work. I thank God for all my blessings that God has given to me.
Yes, I could be working today...
if I could find a job. I don't know how many applications I've sent out in the past three months. Two companies told me I was hired and would be sending out packets or contacting me for setup. Nope, nothing. How many times do I have to follow up? How disorganized can a business owner possibly be? When you tell someone you'll call them, do it! I guess I'll go fill out my foodstamps application since WalMart isn't hiring either.

Have you tried Transcend? I think they are hiring. Hard to make very much, but better than nothing. Oh yes, they do pay and on time every time for past 3 1/2 years.
Yes, I could be working today
You really should stick with 1 company right now that pays well until the economy heals. If you have good skills, it is a sure bet that you can withstand any crisis. After things get looking better, then I would think would be the time to improve on what you have but a good steady income is the bet one can hope for until this thing is fixed. I am just glad I can stay at home and still make money - that is the beauty of being an MT in my book. Being laid off just would mean taking classes and improving my skills so I will get an even better position - using the time wisely. I think you can even get government assistance to take MT courses (advanced) on line and go on and get the CMT while you have the time. It is something that is well worth the time and looks great on a resume. This beats watching Oprah and eating bons bons.
Anybody else not feel like working today?
You know how you're sleep deprived, then when you catch up on your sleep, you feel even more tired than before? Ugh. I slept for 10 hours last night. I've got a killer headache. All the work coming up on my account today is lousy. I'd rather be doing anything else right now. Time to set the timer and get 'er done.
so much for working anymore today....
yeowssa!
I was working today, hit a wrong key and...
in my report came up all of the secret code fields..and I could not finish my report..Do you know what I am talking about? It has all of those funny marks, dots in between words, etc...My tech support is out today...Does ANYONE know how to get this off of there? I tried just using my Word and it is in there too..HELP!
fingers not working today
I have had my days with horrible dictors, and today I have a dream dictor, could no thave been happier to get her and my fingers do not work. I can't seem to type anything correctly. lol. Thank goodness I proof my work before sending - thank goodness for spellcheckers and grammar checkers - cause I suck today lol
Does anybody else have that kind of day - or is it just me? Now be nice lol
Anyone with Smartmed on here working today?
I hope this is okay to post here.
I cannot send my files. I changed my sending options like I was told to a couple of days ago. Would anyone be willing to email me the sending options they have so I can see if that will work? Thanks.
Anyone doing home chores today instead of working? sm
So far we've put out 40 bags of mulch around the flower garden area as it was time to refresh it, and then I've put in a fence in the back yard for the dog (deal alert - if you have a small dog that won't jump over a fence, you can get 150 feet of kennel fencing that is 3 feet high at Lowe's with the stakes for just under $100, and it took me less than an hour to figure out how I wanted it to look and install it... and I'm not a home improvement queen!).
The dog feels like she's in doggie heaven running around without having to have her tie-up ropes and my neighbors across the road should be happy that I've spruced up the flower garden area - especially since they just put their house on the market.
Now I'm ready for a nice long Calgon soak!!!
Okay - Everybody reply with NM if you are going to quit working today!
If everyone is going to stick together (happy with your job or not), then we should all notify our employer today that we refuse to work until things change for ALL american MTs. How many of you are willing to do that right now?
excuse the typos.....been working to long today already! - nm

Are these MEs working on site or at home
All the MEs I know are working per line.
I'm working too, get double line count for today, but reports are
zz
Anyone else working today? Am I the only lowly sole with nothing to do until dinner time?
I feel like I am the only on working today, as the Boscov's parade is on TV, my two teens are sleeping, my husband is working OT and here I am working also. Gotta cover my account today, at least until this afternoon, when I have to cook for my little family.
Just wanted to see if anyone else is out there today!
I am working today but i don't get extra pay. just behind on clinic notes and trying to catch up
between cooking.
made pennies working on-site-sm
but I live in an extremely rural area were the pay is generally lower across the board for any type of job. I also drove an hour each work as well, to the next town over. Around years ago the transcriptionists in my hometown were making 7.50/hour. So I am pretty proud of my 9 cpl job.
This site is not working correctly and hasn't all day long. Someone needs to fix it!
I don't know who, but the administrator should know.
not a bit homophobic. love queer guys for straight guys.
these guys are clever and witty and have good taste. they are who they are. not a problem. i have problems with boy-men who are currently trendy now. that's my taste. and it's kind of scary that women are attracted to these unisex boy-men culturally. no big deal unless you make it one. this is a board to exchange ideas right?
go to chat room on web site and find out. i'm working but if you find out, let me know.
creepy dude.
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm
my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away! I checked and the Type It button is grayed out! I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies. Can anyone please help me ASAP? I am lost without it! TIA
Perhaps you are right. This one is dated today. The original article was on Yahoo today also with
But this article states it would only affect new customers right now. So I am upset over nothing. I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge. I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me. It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc. It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.
$32K/part time 6 months/full time 6 months
I have kept my child home with me half the year, but when pre-K started I began working full time. Helps to only have a main account and one backup account for the 2nd year now, so my abbreviation program rocks and rolls when I focus.
Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.
It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.
We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.
It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
I have noticed sometimes I will try to get into a web site and that site will freeze up and I dont
know if I have too many screens opened up and minimized or what. I tried to open a website sent by email and froze up the email screen. Not sure what I am doing.
Blasted cold out today. It was 104 degrees last week, but it's 40 degrees today with rain.
However, I do like cozy days like today when I don't have to go anywhere. I'm done working, the house is clean, there's chili on the stove for dinner already, and I'm just putzing around. I think I'll go bake some jalapeno cheese bread to go with the chili.
I subscribe to another web site and within the boards on this site they have
Would anybody be interested if adminstrators would allow us to have this type of board or even put it on the main board. Like on this other board they tell you to go to a certain web site for a coupon for 20% off Barnes and Noble or when Target has reduced prices on seasonal things. Anybody got ideas or bargains they would like to share to save money? We could call it the MT Stars penny-pinchers board.
You get more working the evening or night shifts and working w/o benefits. And producing like a mad
,
Ditto....granted I am not working much these days, but am currently trying out a new way of working
when I do work which seems to be helping. I am timing myself and keeping a log of how long it takes to to type however many minutes. I am averaging anywhere from 13-18 minutes of dictation an hour now doing this. Granted the time fluctuates between who I am typing, and if I have to look up names, addresses, etc., just depends on the division I am doing at the time. But work that used to take me 3 hours to do is now taking me under 2 hours, I am also trying to put in more macros as I go along, which slows me down initially but pays off in the long run of course. I was working "all the time" before but took forever to get done since I was not applying myself. This new "attitude" has helped me a lot. My goal, in the Fall, is to do 90 minutes a day consistently at 6 hours, and then maybe get up to 120 minutes a day at 8 hours, still while having at least half of the day free (do 60 minutes at night, and the other 60 by Noon). Thereby doing 1200-1400 lines a day. I have never really buckled down and done more than 8000 lines per pay period, so it will be a nice change. Maybe you can do something like that and have a specific knock off time as was suggested below. 
Working holidays? Out shopping in stores where someone IS working
that holiday you refuse to work? Grocery stores, food joints & seems any store is open on holidays and you expect them to be fully staffed, so why shouldn't we?
Yes, I took off for the first time on Christmas day, in 18 years and it was great, but I worked Christmas eve and this whole past weekend.
Someone has to do it!
WOW.. you guys should all get together....sm
and contact the Dept of Labor. If they were stupid enough to put their broken promises in writing, you have every right to start a lawsuit. We all have complaints about different companies, but what they've done is downright illegal !!!
I am sure you guys are right,
evil MQ is at it again. That must be it. LOLOL! It never ends, and yet you continue to stay there.
The spy guys in Mt. Dew ad...sm
Last year we went to a sports bar, and about 30 of them came in dressed up! The women were dressed as the white spy and men were dressed as the black spy. Mountain Dew got the idea from Mad magazine. You can probably do a Google search to see what they look like. There isn't much to the costume. I suppose someone made it for them.
how about these guys?
has anyone ever heard anything about peachtree, x-press transcription, or all-med radiology transcription?
Thanks guys. I don't know what it is
Especially this year, i'm just feeling blue and usually I can yank myself out of it. I've always hesitated taking herbs, and I think i'll just keep that on the shelf for now. That light thing i'm going to try, thank you for the suggestion. I might need to go into talk to someone too and get my meds balanced out because i'm just diagnosing myself and getting the meds off line. Probably anti-anxiety meds cause a little depression since it brings you "down" and my anxiety level is through the roof the last couple years so i've been medicating that. Thanks again guys.
Thanks guys......
All very nice comments - thanks guys!! We would not want to feel we were stealing work from you.....
You guys are definitely right.
I need to get out more. I'm just having a hard time lately. My daughter is finally in first grade, I had been trying to work things out with her father and of course it didn't. I did try online dating, but so far either I don't like them or they don't like me. That's the worst thing about this job. I do need to get out more. I went to a kid's birthday party today and was talking to a father there. I don't know if he was single or not, but it was just getting used to talking to people. Thanks for the advice. Home Depot is cheaper than dating services anyways!
Thanks you guys, I'm going to try these
I was up until 5:00 a.m. downloading and scanning with programs just to find out they were not free and then I'd have to start all over trying another one. The free ones have not been successful at removing Dealhelper yet....hopefully one of these will work! Thanks so much!!!!!
Wow, I'm not too far from you guys...
