LOL.....*story will morph from 3 feet to 8 feet by the end of the week as you tell it*...... or something..... about had me falling on my face!!  *lol*

I don't live in a *house* though I grew up in one and had one 15 years ago...I feel safer in a BIG building...less critters around and safety in numbers......I'm a condo owner/dweller....up a few floors from the ground floor.I don't *kill* in the life......except roaches or something nasty-arsed like vermin.....I remember putting mice traps when I had the house 15 years ago.....

This was posted on GURU.com - it's a job up for bidding.  But read carefully and look at all the EXPECTATIONS this person has .... for $20/audio hour.

Description:
I am looking for several Document Production Specialists to start ASAP.

Requirements:

*  At least two years of transcription experience
*  Excellent spelling, grammar, punctuation
*  Extensive vocabulary
*  Medical, legal, and general business terminology
*  Ability to research
*  Excellent listening and comprehension skills
*  Detail oriented
*  Ability to follow simple instructions
*  "Just do it" attitude
*  Professional attitude, communication skills and work habits
*  Express Scribe software and foot pedal
*  Microsoft Word
*  Committed to providing a quality work product

Let me emphasize that this is not a simple typing job.  If you have
fast and accurate typing skills, good, but that's not enough.  I have
extremely high standards and you must be able to meet these high standards.   

***If you cannot complete one hour of transcription and provide a
PERFECT transcript within 24 hours, please do not bid.*** 

It is very important that you be able to work without advance notice
and without distractions.  If you cannot do this, please do not bid.

It is also very important that you be able to take the ball and run
with it and not ask a lot of questions.  If you need a lot of
hand-holding, please do not bid.    

If you get frustrated easily and cannot handle challenging
transcription work, DO NOT bid. 

For those of you who want super-easy work for tons of money, DO NOT
bid.

I need for you to indicate your days and hours of availability.  These
days and hours should NOT be flexible.  These should be the days and
times that you are ALWAYS available to work.  You will be receiving jobs
during these days and hours without advance notice and you are expected
to do them, no excuses.

Please don't ask me if work is available.  When work is available, I
will send it to you during the days/hours you have specified.

If you are a serious professional, confident about your abilities, take
a great deal of pride in your work, and don't mind working for a fair
but demanding boss, please bid PER AUDIO HOUR.  Keep in mind, however,
that you will not be paid more than $20 per audio hour to start.

I responded in a polite way, stating that I do not know of anyone that would take work on a MOMENT'S NOTICE, turn it around in 3-5 hours for the total cost of $20.  I got the nastiest response back .... "Well guess what?  I've had bids for $10 and $25.  So there." 

What do you all think? 

How childish!  Just another embarrassing post by an American MT !!!

Giggle. Next you'll be telling us you're qualified as Chief of Staff at the hospital you nurse at and transcribe for.  Chuckle.  (Reminds me of the saying, Jack of all trades, master of none.)  Chuckle.

But outsourcing to India doesn't concern me on iota.  Remember ..... they speak a different language than we do and when doctors here hire them, they get exactly what they pay for, which, when you add all things in, they charge for basically equal pay for a real sloppy job........

Never fear, my dear.....India's a joke......

That's why they'd much rather work call centers and do - more money for less work.  Much easier to speak it - albiet half azz - than transcribe it.

Go to www.whitehouse.gov and on the right hand side there is a like to the BarneyCam.  It's a very cute video Mrs. Bush made to take to the Children's Hospital in DC when she visited the kids.  No matter your political persuasion, it's just too cute and you also get to see the holiday decorations.  My grandkids have had a ball watching it tonight.

I've done that, too, unfortunately - when I was a kid.  Takes the hide right off!

One way or the other. I wouldn't have cats if I had to deal with a stinking litter box. Yuck!

And no comments about how could I possibly like my cats if I let them outdoors, blah, blah, blah.

They've always been outdoor cats. We live in a remote rural area with no traffic. They are healthy, fixed, up-to-date on all shots, vet checked, well fed and well taken care of. We tried to keep them in after hearing all of the horror stories about letting your cats outdoors, but they weren't buying it and kept howling to go out. The eldest is 13 and the younger one is 9. They started out as outdoor cats and apparently are going to stay that way.
