No time sheet - but something to payroll? nm

time to get gain control again
Hayseed, I feel for you. It's not worth it, no matter what you are paid or the benefits. Sounds like THEY are in control of your life, not you and you resent it, as you should. My advice would be to get control of the situation again if you are able to (work something out with them) or move on. This is just not worth it. It really isn't. Not worth your health, the sacrifice of your peace of mind. Your body and emotions are rebelling big time. You deserve better. You know it and that's probably part of the anger you are feeling. You're no newbie who must endure just to get experience. Think about a change for the sake of your own health.

Spheris gives PTO to part-time employees.

I work part time for Spheris...(sm)
They will hire you part time for the hours you're looking for; however, they don't hire IC status, which is what I wanted.
Spheris is not working out for me at all, but maybe it'll be what you're looking for.
Good luck!
I am fairly new with my company and I tried the control Y one time, and it didn't work, so I thou
into the "global" normals, I will play with it again and give it a try. How long have you been doing transcription? Have you stayed with the same company for a long time? I worked at a clinic for 6 years, hospital for 8, and now this new national for 3 months.....I hate feeling new!

I loved my account with Spheris, but had a hard time
punching in and out. I worked originally for Healthscribe and then they merged with Spheris. Things didn't change for quite a while and then all of a sudden things took a crappy turn for the worse. I ended up with at least 5 accounts that I was in daily. I went from having to punch in and out and being required to work full time hours to stay a full time employee even though I could get my work done in part time hours. I didn't stick around and after 2 years with Healthscribe I left shortly after the merge was starting to take shape. Like I said, the biggest problem was punching in and out. Good luck.
Foot pedal control/knee control? (sm)
My sewing machine has a knee control built into the side of the cabinet and I find this very comfortable. I would like to somehow do the same with foot pedal I use for transcription. Can figure out how to mount it, but having trouble adjusting it so the 3 pedals are not an issue. ANyone done this or have any input?
Foot pedal control/knee control
Though I have not had experience with this type of modification, I have repaired numerous footpedals and have some information that may be helpful. Generally, the footpedal is comprised of the primary circuit board, the wiring to the computer, and the three switches for play, rewind, and fast forward. These switches are easily removed from the pedal with a screwdriver. With basic soldering, you can lengthen the wiring to each switch, or even replace them with different switches you can get at a local electronics store. With a little bit of creative engineering, you could mount some knee -controllable switches that could control the footpedal.

On my log sheet, I have a disclaimer. It says something like SM
names without a clear spelling will be written phonetically. Then I go on about my business. You could do 10 more reports in the time it takes to try and hear that stuff.
You need support from your MTSO. That is probably the most important thing. It's sad for you to have to deal with unclear sound files and crappy dictators without any backup from the people you work with.
Are you required to keep a log sheet?
Im just wondering if this is common. I have to keep a log sheet on my current account and it is a big PITA and waste of time and money.
HELP with SOAP sheet issue please!
I have my my own account of three OB-GYNs that use a SOAP sheet type heading on a regular piece of paper. It takes up about 2.5" on the top of the first page of each patient note. It is paper that is purchased from a printing company and they write in the patient's name, vitals, LMP, type of contraception, etc. in the appropriate areas. I have my margins set so I start typing under this info. The problem I have had is these sheets will jam up in any of the three printers I have and I just bought a new all-in-one printer and these sheets will actually get so stuck I have to tear them out of my printer! I know it is because they have been handled, written on, sometimes have corners folded, etc. I normally have a second page I print and sometimes even a third, and I print all the notes at one time or it would take me forever to print out their transcription as I normally have 30-40 pages from each doc! I even made sure the paper I purchased for second, third pages is the same weight as this SOAP heading sheet and it makes no difference. It does not jam with every first page/header page, but it does it on average at least three times while I am printing out one doc's work. This wastes a lot of my time, is frustrating, and I feel it is going to ruin my printer/roller bar with it jamming so badly.
When I spoke with the OM, she said they would quit sending these SOAP sheets with the info on them and then they would just add them to the patient's chart as the first page after I return the transcription. However, I just received a message when I returned home that the docs are not happy with this and do not want it done this way.
When I met with the OM, she said they can change this pre-printed "form" to a half page (which will save them money). I am not exactly sure why they do not like the way things have been changed other than this pertinent info is no longer directly on that first page of the patient's note.
Does anyone have ANY suggestions as to what I could do that they might agree to? I know I had mentioned to the OM when I met with her (to discuss going digital) that perhaps they could use the same form on a half page or even smaller as a label to adhere to the patient note and she said "no way"! They will NOT use adhesive anything. I need to resolve this problem TODAY so sure would appreciate some suggestions/feedback.
TIA.
The soap under the sheet really works.
My husband thought I was crazy but it did work.
We had a laminated clear sheet with
a number on each line and put it over each and every report, counted off for blank lines, and wrote down the total lines for the report. We printed in batches per MT so after 10 or 12 reports we would stop and count. At end of day we added up our lines. (We were paid on gross lines back then.)
I use Control N to end a job - Control T is for when viewing an old report
Don't know what you are talking about
yep, control, control, control... that's the main

Microsoft Symbols short cut Keyboard Sheet
Hi. Does anyone have or know where I can find a Microsoft Symbols Keyboard short cut list for various symbols including degree, Greek letters, etc. I know how to do it the slow way but I know they make keyboard shortcut lists. Any help would be appreciated.
My dangerous abbreviation sheet doesn't list...sm
q. as a dangerous abbreviation. It lists q.d. and q.o.d. and q.n. but not just q. by itself. ?
Definitely no HIPAA in India, just came upon surgery sheet with patient names!
I just googled a term, and up comes a surgery schedule with all the patients' names and phone numbers. Yikes.....
Just about anything CHOCOLATE. German chocolate, Texas sheet cake, etc. YUM YUM ;-) nm
Thank you.. you are right. I'm in control of what I do about this!

Why do you let this man control you? (sm)
Confront him about his actions. Do not hold back. If it continues, then discuss the problem with all your family members. You are letting him run your life. Then let your mother et AL decide whether they want to see you on your terms or if they prefer to have no relationship.
All this animosity will eat your alive. Get it off your chest and you do not need a counselor to do it. Just be yourself and be honest and upfront with him.

cannot control what others do
Personally I would just stop having anything to do with her. I would tell your husband why and no one else. Just stop doing anything with her, talking to her, etc. If you have kids, unless the kids are asking to see her, carry on with your life. And don't say it isn't that easy. It is. And what she does is what she does. What you do is what you do. What you and your husband have together is outside of what she does. Keep it simple. Don't say anything negative about her. I know you have hurt but you said you worked though it. You can do that with this too. Be strong.
The key to all of this is control+K
which allows the next keystroke to be entered as the command, in your case hit control B. When the box comes up, make sure the control box is checked, not shift or Alt, and then click okay. repeat at end of phrase.
Out of control
Although working from home is great - I have always felt as if the company that I worked for was more in control of my life than I was. Telling me when I had to have something done - even though they never live up to their own standards. One very well-thought of company on this board is just that way - I have QA sitting out there from the weekend and it hasn't been checked yet, but once it is, they will expect me to have it done in 30 minutes and to the hospital - I'm ready to give up this profession or vocation or whatever anyone wants to call it.

Control T
Some EXText users have the ability to reveiw old jobs--say you want to look at a physical exam for the dictator you're working on or you want to verify a dosage for a drug on a patient you're working . You can Control/S, then in the screen that pops up you can chose by date, trans ID, provider name, patient name, etc. In the documents that come up based on the parameters that you entered, you can select one of those documents. It's also a way to review what QA filled for any blanks you might have had. When you are finished reviewing, you Control/T to get out of that document and your working document pops back up. Working documents you Control/N. Reviewing documents (read only), Control/T.

Hang in there....it will improve as time goes on.
Control
I am actively searching for a new company. This is a no-win situation.
I don't know nor do I have control over the MT
community. What I can control is my own career. Other MTs have to take control of their careers, too. IMHO, to work for an MTSO/get paid by production as a newbie MT is career suicide. I never made less than, equal to or close to a housekeeper as a newbie. I started as a medical-legal word processor of sorts - self-taught - took classes here and there and the rest is history. My advice to new MTs is to get a job as a file clerk or other admin in a hospital or med group and work your way into a MT clerk and then MT position. You already have your foot in the door by the fact that you are an employee of the hospital or med group 
And we also have a bit more control over the

It's difficult but necessary to be in control
Otherwise you are simply allowing little Hitlers to grow up and become *adults* - your job is not to be their friend, your job is to be their parent.
Why would you allow your kids to have friends that you wouldn't allow in your house if they were your friends?
Why would you allow filthy language, out-of-control behavior, and downright liars even on your property?
Are you afraid of your kids? if so, why?
Good luck
sorry, don't think it's either new or damage control
Remote Control
AND you can keep the remote control right next to your keyboard to mute it when necessary. I think it sounds great. I might try it!
How to unbold, control +B again?

If you try to control your IC's schedule
in the eyes of the IRS? If that is the case, I would encourage your "ICs" to ask for benefits.
Settings, control and then where?
Settings, control and then where - can you help me?
Thanks so much!
not other poster but it isn't under the control tab; sm
it is under the playback tab under settings. it is the fifth one down that says auto back step on stop. i have mine set at 2000.
Yes, and one could only believe that if one believed this was something they had no control over. sm
I don't think that way at all. Please. How many gay movie stars are we just now finding out were gay all their lives. And we never knew. I am sorry, but that is the coward's and liar's way. To have a family knowing you are gay and have no intention of giving up your other way of life. Shameful.
pest control
Did it kill your grass? You know, like roundup turns it brown?
I gave the tip about using control+K
for command entries.
I purchased ShortHand and it is in the instruction manual that came with it.
Steps for control T.
When using control/T to close out the Control/S document, you must make sure the Control/S document is fully open and that it is the document on top. The document you see should have "read only" next to the patient's name. If it is not on top, control/T will close out everything.
Here are the steps: When you open Control/S, pull up the doc you want to review, etc., it comes up first. When you go back to the document you're transcribing, the Control/S document goes behind your working document. When you minimize your working document to Control/T the viewing document, it will go to a split window, and then you have to make sure the reviewing document is on top before you Control/T. I hope this makes sense--You can't Control/T with a split window or both documents showing at the same time. You must click on the read only document to open it to view so there is no split screen and the only document you see is the read only document. Otherwise, you close out both documents.
control is only an illusion - just when you
something happens to change the illusion.
Such is life.
