She should try learning another language, go to that country and see how she likes being told to "go back where you came from" because she couldn't be understood!
There would be no America if everyone returned to their country of origin.

not racist
I'm sorry if my comment was considered racist because that is not what I meant. It is just a fact of today's society. I don't begrudge a single ESL who has had the gumption to excel in today's working public. I just think that my husband or my son should have the same privilege since we are citizens of the USA. I know that they are probably citizens as well, but transplanted, and they shouldn't be given perferential treatment because they are transplanted. They should only be on an equal level. I don't think anyone should be given preference because of race, color of skin or who you know.
Racist much?
Get off it...no one is "taking over."
racist
Maybe you take what we've said as racist. That is your opinion and you have a right to it. I dont mean to be racist. Take for instance African American dictators. I have yet to have a problems with an African American dictator and no I am no African American. I am just stating that if I was racist I would be racist against African Amercians. It isn't racism it is facts. If the dictators from India, or Asia, or some other country could speak clearly and a few do then I would have no problem with them.
THIS IS RACIST AND UNCALLED FOR
This has absolutely nothing to do with "the race card." Why insult a whole race when we're talking about natural disasters? This is narrow minded and unwelcome. Keep your racial comments private please...
I think you're racist and where is it exactly...

Read my post above, very racist myself
NOT. I do not like ebonics and definitely would not allow it spoken in my home. Husband black, I am white. I can say that and now am I racist for calling it what it is. It is terrible speaking and not English. When I lived in Atlanta it was horrible all the people interviwed on the news. No one could speak to where most could understand. I can speak from experience myself.
Not racist at all - a very well written post.

Sorry, you're dead wrong. Nice try though.
Nothing more racist to me than accepting that blacks are poor and stupid and need help,

You're the racist. You have a problem wtih Caucasians

Geez. give the girl a break already. For definition of racist, sm
PER WIKIPEDIA: Racism is a belief system or doctrine which postulates a hierarchy among various human races or ethnic groups. It may be based on an assumption of inherent biological differences between different ethnic groups that purport to determine cultural or individual behaviour. ...

I went back and read the OPs post about 3 times. Not once did she use the word hate and she said "most" not "all." We've all had bad days. I was cursing under my breath while working just today because one inconsiderate mumbling Primadonna ruined my entire morning. She just happened to be American.
Face it. There is a stereotype that many doctors have God complexes, are arrogant, demanding, and have to have their way. Doctors are inconsiderate. These are intelligent people that just don't give a rats. I'll prove it by saying that I've been a medical Transcriptionist for 18 years and no other "professional" has ever belched, eaten, cursed, or urinated while on the phone with me.
You don't have to be an MT to get frustrated over the language barrier either. I've owned my last Dell computer, not because I hate Indians, but because every single time I've had to call I wind up ending the call because there is a complete communication breakdown. I would expect that if I "chose" to live in another country, but this is my home. Americans are the ones having to learn a second language because so many foreigner just wont. Just look at how many job posting there are for bilingual receptionists and secretaries. It's just not like that anywhere else but here. If I "chose" to live in Japan, Hong Kong, the Czech Republic, etc. you'd better believe I would be the one to learn "their" language. Why should they accommodate me? I'm on their soil. Why should it be any different here? No where else on the globe is it like this.
Sorry if this is long and choppy. I got distracted.
Sounds like you are SM
working for one of the few remaining good companies. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they all at least made an effort to even out the work? When you factor in VR and the number of newbees that some companies hire, who just don't have the experience to do the difficult dictators, that makes a sorry life for those who do have the experience and can do it. Which is why I say if "anyone" isn't happy with what they are doing, then they should look for a company that recognizes their MTs as human beings. I think part of the problem is that the bigger companies are run by "suits" who don't have a clue about actual medical transcription, all they see is the bottom line and any way to make that bottom liine bigger is fine and dandy with them. I even heard one of those "suits" say once that it didn't matter if all their MTs quit, they were just typists and the manager could just go out and hire some more.
Sounds like you have too much going on. Take
things in little bits. (Un)pack/clean for 15 minutes and then work for a bit. Set a realistic goal to work - say an hour that you can make yourself work, then get up and (un)pack/clean, do laundry, etc. and then come back and work. If you can afford to work a few less hours do it. It will give you time to complete the move and give you a break from work.
We are remodeling/redecorating and our house is total chaos. Some days I can jump right in and get something accomplished and other times I put on blinders and just ignore it all. Some days I dig right into work and knock out my lines, other days I'm on-line more than working.
Take a break, get refocused, and then try out different routines. I think we all go through burnout at least once a year and sometimes it takes a bit to get refocused.
Sounds about right

Thanks, sounds like just what I need.
It isn't that I can't afford either, just concerned that I don't want a 2 year process, because I need to start living now.
I don't need to know particulars, but just wondered how far back your trauma went? Mine is pretty much a lifetime of traumatic events, but I think most of my issues date back to when I was 5.

Sounds like my son. sm
My son had an economics project in junior high school. The class was split into groups. Each group was given $75.00 in cash and told to come up with something to make their money back. If they made any profit, it was theirs to keep and split.
My son went through all of the grocery store flyers until he found cans of Pepsi on sale. Then he called all of the pizza places to see if he could get a buy 1 get 1 free special. They bought a bunch of pizza and a bunch of Pepsi, set up a table at lunchtime, and sold the pizza for $1.25 a slice and the cans of soda for $1.00 a can. They doubled the money, gave the original $75.00 back and split the rest.
Right now my son works in food services at a nursing home. I'm surprised he doesn't charge the residents for delivering their dinners. 
Must be. Sounds just like them

This sounds about right!
A Japanese company and an American company decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat.
A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had eight people rowing and one person steering, while the American team had eight people steering and one person rowing.
So American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They advised that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing.
To prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to four steering supervisors, three area steering superintendents and one assistant superintendent steering manager.
They also implemented a new performance system that would give the one person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the "Rowing Team Quality First Program", with meetings, dinners and free pens for the rower.
There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses.
The next year the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles and cancelled all capital investments for new equipment.
The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses, and the next year's racing team was outsourced to India.
Sounds like she does not know what she is doing.
Maybe your company does not pay much for QA or have high criteria

It sounds like they are basing this on income only, not income and output (her bills). She should talk with the folks at Social Service as they can probaby negotiate a better deal for her, either there or somewhere else.
Good luck! :)

the other poster's Stedman's and mine conflict a little. Mine is:

So, share with us what you said and what QA said. I'm curious!!!!
Sounds like my ex also.....sm
very abusive...mine wasn't that controlling, but he was disrespectful to me and did lots of things to hurt and humiliate me, to the point of double dating behind my back with his oldest daughter and her boyfriend, and on our anniversary to boot. I am out of that mess, met a much nicer guy who is secure with himself and am happier because of it.
Sounds like you seriously need to consider the
How do I know if I am in an abusive relationship? What are the signs and symptoms of an abusive relationship?

Your inner feelings and dialogue: Fear, self-loathing, numbness, desperation

* Do you avoid certain topics or spend a lot of time figuring out how to talk about certain topics so that you do not arouse your partner’s negative reaction or anger?
* Do you ever feel that you can’t do anything right for your partner?
* Do you ever feel so badly about yourself that you think you deserve to be physically hurt?
* Have you lost the love and respect that you once had for your partner?

This sounds like a little boy to me *S*....not fun (sm)
Sounds like my dad, X, and I would not put up with that s**t for long. Blessings to you.
That sounds like what I was having. sm
It is from sitting too long in one position. I am working now on daily exercise on a treadmill to keep the deconditioning and to promote circulation.
I also found that if I keep my bed at an incline like they suggest for obstructive sleep apnea, that this helps quite a bit.
It also helps to do calf stretches before you go to bed and application of Ben-Gay has helped me in the past, too.
Massage the knots out until the muscle is back smooth when they occur. This will hurt a bit, but it helps in the long run.
The above is not a quick fix, but it certainly helps.
This sounds like the same -
company I work for. What are the initials of the company? I may be able to help you.
It sounds like you may
have some issues with depression and/or anxiety. Maybe too much isolation? Maybe you should speak to your doctor. I'm not saying this to be mean, I'm being serious. If the very simple act of people laughing makes you tense up, that is a serious problem.
I will have to try that - sounds like fun. nm

someone with some serious personality issues.
Sounds like you are
handling the situation well. I'm glad your hubby told his friend to LEAVE HIM OUT OF IT! Good move.
I have to say, I think I would be tempted to anonymously let *wife* know she needs to check up on her poor-excuse-for-a-husband. Hmmmmmmmmm. Anyone could have seen the guy leave the bar in that chicks car. Probably less stress to stay out of it, but knowing about it would probably eat away at me. That is just wrong.
Sounds to me like something is going
on. Hard to believe they don't have the money to pay you. Even harder to believe they really want work held on to that long. It sounds like she might be trying to ease you out without have to say the words. If you are happy with the job, hang in there. But, I would look for something else just in case. Maybe in the time it takes for something to happen you can have some pretty good leads on good jobs.
GOOD LUCK
Okay! Sounds like fun!
I'll bring the Margaritas!
Sounds low to me...
At 6 cents per line, if you transcribed 200 lines per hour, which is unlikely if you are a new MT, you'd make $12 an hour. When I first began MT, I was only doing 100 LPH for quite a while, which meant at this rate I would have only made $6.00 an hour!
How fast do you transcribe?
That sounds right..
I have my "business" name, just never did anything but buy the domain name. :-) Thank you! I'll be checking come Monday.
Sounds as if...
You are working on VR. The pay can be the $1000 you want every 2 weeks. I worked VR and made even less than what you are making now per line, 40 hour week, had the speed as fast as I could make it and if you are extremely fast, able to make that amount on a 40 hour week basis, been there, done that.
it sounds like... SM
If you are typing and nothing is showing up, then your "window" is not active. On your system and/or your version of Word I dont know just why that might happen, but something else on your computer probably becomes "active" and deactives the Word window.
Do you have other programs running? Maybe in "background?" Can you disable or "quit" those?
Other than that, my PC at work will do this to me too when Word does "autosave" of the current document and the normal template. However, it does alert me by popping up a dialog box and it is never 2-3 sentences.
not much help, I'm sure...hope you can find out!

you still may have the virus, or it already did some damage before it was caught. This is why I don't like Norton's. They are a good program but they consistently miss things. I use PC-Cillin by Trend Micro. If you go to their website, they have a free scanner called Housecall, I believe. I think it will find it for you and remove it. If that does not work, and you care to spend a small amount of money, $30, I believe, get Spyware Doctor through PC Tools. It is a very good program and consistently finds things that the regular antivirus programs do not. You have to renew once a year, but that is only $20, I think. Another good program is CrapCleaner. It is free to download and run. There are two areas to scan..applications and issues. run them both. This will really clean out your history, cookies, etc. I use it weekly. Registry Mechanic is also good, at $30, as it cleans out stuff from your registry. I have all of these programs, as I have learned that one virus scanner is not enough, especially Norton's. I am not knocking them. I used them for six years, but found they did not find or completely remove everything. In this business, we have to protect our computers to the highest extent, and I just did not feel that Norton's was good enough. JMO and good luck.
