Stay tuned! (sm)
I'm working on a productivity blog right now that will have the info you need to easily learn IT and other programs that will boost your productivity.
This blog will be absolutely free, available to anyone, and will offer daily productivity tips.
I've seen too many posts here and on other MT forums offering to share productivity secrets for a mentoring fee or other payment and decided to put as much info out as I could myself for free.
I'm not providing the link today because I want to have a week's worth of material blogged before I show it to people, but I felt for you on reading your post and wanted to give you a heads up.
Tiny statements from a tiny mind.
We are trying to figure out how to get out of this screwy place without being screwed any more.
LinK, I feel you. I was transcribing & had my little TV on tuned to FoxNews when all of a sudden
I heard the news of a plane hitting the WTC. What an ominous, overbearing feeling that washed over me. I watched 9/11 last night. Odd how it started out being a documentary about a probie firefighter and ended up being a filmed account of 9/11. All those feelings came flooding right back and still felt so raw. I can't imagine how family members must feel who lost loved ones who were in the WTC on that tragic day. May God comfort those left behind.
Really well tuned expander, high lph, national with great bonus plan. sm
That's really it. No secrets I can think of. Familiarity with accounts, helps, but not essential, at least to me.
tiny font
Something is wrong here. It sounds like this board shows up in huge font on YOUR end, but it is about an 8 font on my computer. The main board, job seeker's board, and compary board show up tiny for me, but the other boards look about 12-14 font, which is MUCH better!
I have that setup and may have tiny lag...
but its only a bit more than I had using wav pedal without Vonage. I do find the C-phone pedal to be a different cat from my wav pedal, though, and not very fond of it! Mine has gone psycho a few times and does its own thing, totally unresponsive to controls. As they aren't too expensive I may just replace it at some point with another used one and see what happens. If your C-phone is not new, you might cosider replacing the pedal to see if that helps. I have been told the pin-plug setup is very sensitive and easy to disrupt. Good luck!
What about those of us with tiny apts. - sm
either 1-bedroom or studio? On what we make, that's often all we can afford. If they want me to have a separate room or screened-off area for my workstation, they're gonna have to:
"SHOW ME THE MONEY"! (Or else do they mean I have to turn my tiny, 5-foot x 6 foot bathroom into a home office? I supposed I could fit a tiny little desk and a laptop in front of the toilet, and then sit on that to do my work.........
Sounds like tiny penis but not..lol
its not tinnitus, I have tried spelling tiniapitas
this has something to do with frostbite cold weather, HELP ANYONE
My vet is teeny tiny. When she got pregnant with her last
baby she gained 60 pounds. She probably weighs 98 soaking wet. Anyway, her doctors put her on either Relacore or Cortislim and she lost the weight. I have an overweight dog due to a disease and she said they are testing these drugs in dogs to see if it will help so I think there is some basis for it. I took a drug similar that is supposed to block cortisol (can't remember the name, but it was cheaper) and it did help with my belly fat and soon I had to get new jeans because the ones I had I had a handful of material on each side of stomach that hung down in my crotch area and it was very uncomfortable. I even tripped once because I tried to step up over a low stone wall and there was so much extra material it constricted my leg movement and I wasn't able to lift my leg high enough.
I am an emotional eater but I don't have problems with an overactive appetite, meaning I'm not ravenous all the time, never have been.
I've just heard a tiny bit, but...sm
apparently Fusion also offers a transcription platform. I was just trying to see if there might be some comments on that. I appreciate your response.
The font is very tiny for me. It never used to be this way. It suddenly occurred and nothing I do

I used it but it tended to "junk me up" so I took only a tiny dose...sm
for sleep, trazodone is better. It's an old antidepressant that's not really good for anything other than putting you out. However, if you need to wake up in the middle of the night (small children, etc.) you can pop right out of sleep and it doesn't have the hangover effect like benadryl or Xanax. So maybe ask about trying that. And I know, maybe I spelled trazodone wrong but I don't have my spellchecker on this board LOL!
After 15 years of being treated for depression on and off, and severe anxiety, I finally found a wonderful therapist. He got me out of a chronic low grade depression without any antidepressants AT ALL which I would have bet could not be done. So maybe think of that, too?
one of mine is tiny - nearly died from renal
failure last year - and in the process of trying to get weight on him and leaving food down his brother is up to a whopping 17 pounds now - he would give me lower extremity circulation problems!!
The tiny lettering was difficult for me to see and no pictures! LOL sm
I'm kidding about the pictures.
Do you think its handier to have the book on your desk or the program at the click of a mouse? Thanks for your reply!
My cat veterinarian authorized us to use cat Frontline on our 5-pound tiny toy poodle
She said it goes by size and he's the size of a small cat.
I have IE set to display text size as largest, yet this font is so tiny I can barely see it.

Most men can't hear the tiny tings, noises that cars make, and things like
an alarm clock. A doctor I used to work for did the same thing in the bathroom too. But, I never heard a plop! Thank Goodness.
I was joking, cause the poster I responded to made a HUGE typo in a tiny sentence!
would like to believe, MYSELF included! Lighten up!
She's tiny, cute, rich, famous, drug free, and a great singer.
Oh, what a horrible person! (sarcasm)
And you stay with him why?

Stay away
This is the worst company to work for, please take everyone's advice. Certain accounts get put on what they call a lock out for depositing THEIR checks that bounce constantly!!! Then you can't get the money you are owed! There are so many better companies. Please look for one except this one.
I will stay.

I would stay where you are (sm)
until January. This is already a stressful time of year (the holidays) and you'd just be adding to your stress by learning a new job. Although your new employer may grant you the time off, it most certainly would be without pay. Good luck!
stay
I would stay for the house, nothing better than peace of mind in having your own home.
They should stay away,
it is nothing but a pyramid scheme, no matter what anyone tries to tell you!!!
Stay far away!
The owner is a lunatic. You should look elsewhere.
I would stay away if I were him, too
Do not blame him at all!
Help! They won't stay. :(
I had to set my home page as the main forum page here in order to get the links to "stay"/show up. Does anyone know, what might I need to change in NAV in order to get the links to stay without having to use this as my home page?? I normally click on the main forum page from my Favorites.
TIA.
If your DH wants you to stay out of it...
then I think you should.
Just my opinion. If you don't want to fight with him over it, then don't. Why should this other woman's indiscretions cause problems in YOUR marriage?
You are probably better off to stay out of it.
I can't see why an administrator would have to "make-up" anything unless she's covering her own butt or the MT's that work under her. Is she making it up because the dictation was erased by mistake or the doctor didn't dictate it in the first place. I just can't see someone putting themselves on the chopping block when it is simply a matter of asking the doctor to dictate the report. Is this an MTSO? I know there are certain things that are legal which is to state at the bottom of the document "dictated not read". To me this basically means the doctor trusts the report was transcribed/handled in the proper manner.
If you really think about it there are probably more errors made by MT's and doctors overlooking things in their reports because they won't take the time to read them thoroughly then this situation of an administrator "making-up" reports.
I'm not sure I'd want to be involved unless I knew for sure. I think you are better off just doing what is expected of you as an MT. JMO. Stay cool.....
I'd stay out of it.
A workflow coordinator isn't necessarily QA, so as long as she's not correcting your reports, she may do just fine making sure everything goes where it needs to and arrives on time.
If she IS QA-ing or changing your transcribed reports, then I'd say you have a right to bring it to someone's attention.
VR is here to stay...
I agree, it is less money, and sometimes the reports can take even longer than it would to type it, but then you get the really good reports in between that only take a few minutes.
VR is not going away, so somehow we need to embrace it and make it work for us. There will be a few companies that will stay with straight typing, but that is because they do not want to spend the money or time to train the VR. My accounts are 80% VR and 20% typing, so I do still get to type and balance out the $$$$, and it is not easy, but I still prefer it over typing all day.
stay or go
Tough call... I worked for a local group until October 2008. We heard about EMR coming for more than 3 years before it actually started to become implemented. That particular group did go with a point and click system and indeed, when they went to it, that was it. With over 25 doctors, though, they brought it in one department at a time. I will say this... when it became obvious that the time was drawing near (training sessions for other employees, etc) and we all started to get that antsy feeling you describe, the "head guy" came in and held a meeting with us in the transcription department. He stated (falsely) that it would be a year AT LEAST before any of our MT jobs would be at risk and assured us that we'd be offered positions (in house, of course) elsewhere in the offices. Needless to say, that ONE year was less than 5 MONTHS.
If you're feeling antsy and it's giving you so much grief, I would definitely start my search for other IC work. I mean, if you've no benefits to lose and you know you've no interest in anything in-house with them (IF it'd be offered), then why cause yourself heartache..
Just my opinion from a "been there, done that" perspective.
Thanks, but I try to stay away from DQS...sm
i just never liked that platform and never could get the hang of it. I will stay where I am because I plan on retiring from this profession for good in a few months. :)
Stay or Go
Love the company for what?? It's kindness. Jump ship before its too late, as it is for me. I loved my company too!
Well, er, ummm, I can't stay away. Let's just say that.

All you need to do is stay there for 3-6 months to get the
We all start out in really crappy jobs, but stay there because it looks good on the resume for a better company. My first place I worked with, I had to work with a guy who had no idea what he was doing, would type just about anything he wanted just to get paid (at that time 7 bucks an hour was big bucks) and when i'd correct him, because it would look bad on me too (there were only two of us per shift in the small room connected to the ER), he'd flip me off behind my back and make faces. It was complete nonsense, but it got me into a better company.
Our QA stay on the same page. Here's how. sm
We give feedback to our MTs on every report that comes through QA. The way our QA staff stays on the same page is to provide feedback to the MTs and we BCC to the other members of QA along with a BCC to the QA manager. We SEE what QA is telling the MTs and if we have a question, we ask amongst ourselves. We stay on the same page. That way, if an MT decides that they want to say a QA person told them something, we all know what was said.
It is a wonderful way to stay on the same page. It also is a great way to help the MTs.
We work with our MTs very closely.
Stay away from SoftScript
Please read further down this board. There are MTs threatening law suits against this company. Not only are they rude, but they promise you the moon and once you start working for them don't deliver. Many of these MTs are complaining about SS stealing their lines. The line counter software shows how many lines you transcribe, but this is not jiving with the pay they are receiving. The QA manager is a totally incompetent ass. Just do yourself a favor and stay away. There are many other companies out there who are good to work for, but not this one.
Stay at home DAD???
Any wives out there have a stay at home dad? Or, any dads out there a stay at home dad? Today is my husband's last day of work (YEAH!!!) I am very happy, he was a branch manager of a huge company and was working 13 to 15 hours a day. We readjusted and got rid of some bills and he QUIT!! I told him to take AT LEAST 2 months off before he even thinks about working again.
Since I work at home, any tips for making him feel great about what he is doing? I happen to know that staying at home with kids is the hardest job in the world and I want him to feel appreciated. Also, I am worried about us getting in each other's hair too much since I stay at home also. Any advice? I know it is kind of a strage situation, but we are very thankful and blessed that we get to do this. He missed out a lot on my 5-year-olds growing up and he doesn't want to miss anymore (we also have a 2-year-old and planning for 2 more within the next 3 to 4 years)
The best stay at home Dad
My hubby stayed home with our 3 kids when our twins were born. Our oldest was 5 when they were born. Since I had the better job, he stayed home with them during the day and worked at night after I got home. He is the best Dad. The twins are now 9 and they all are so close to their Dad. He cooks, cleans, does laundry, take the kids everywhere (the last favorite thing they did was a fishing derby when he left with the kids and all the neighbor kids at 5:30 am). This week they spent a whole day at Grandpa's farm. He even kept 2 other kids when he was a stay at home Dad to earn extra money for groceries. It is wonderful to see how close children can be to their Dad. These are memories they will never forget. So bravo to all the Dads out there that have stayed home with their children. It is not an easy job, but many blessings come with the job.
I have been there -just say "I'm so sorry" and stay quiet.
a cooked meal sounds great!!! A good time to do that is after the hoopla has died down and she is faced with emptiness. That is when most people think you should be *over it* - she won't ever be. If you are a close friend, send her a card on the child's next birthday and on the 1st anniversary of his/her death. The mother will love you for it. Mention the child in conversation whenever you can, but don't force it.
and p.s., you are entitled to your own feelings, so gripe about anything you want!
If it was me, I'd stay right where you're at.
$15 an hour is a pretty good thing to throw away for being paid on production, especially if you'll have three kids underfoot interrupting you every five minutes.
This problem is here to stay
Big businesses need these guys for cheap labor. America is a money making whore, excuse the term. The middle man will be cut out in no time, so there will only be dirt poor and filthy rich. I walk outside my house and I wonder what country i'm in with all the different languages I hear. I'm not prejudice by any means, just this country is so greedy and it doesn't take care of its own first, just bugs me.
Stay there in India.
And the companies want to outsource their work to these freaks. They spell careers as "carriers". LOL. I guess they don't care about quality transcriptionists that's for sure.
Hope he gets to stay.
It won't be the same without him.
Why stay in a bad situation?
Sounds like YOU don't have work maybe. But as my own boss, if the company using my services, paying me on production, does'nt have work and thinks I am just going to sit there staring at a blank screen making no money, they are sadly mistaken. I would be out of that situation faster than you could click a mouse. I am in charge of my future, my paycheck, my family's welfare. Why would I give some lousy company control over all of that, if they had no work for me and especially, no money for me.
