Allegiant has clinic accounts and is busy, busy, busy
If you're an IC and are looking for plenty of work, freedom to set your own hours, low daily line requirement (500), great supervisors, and easy clinic accounts, then Allegiant may be the right company for you. You can apply by going to www.allegianttranscription.com.
Allegiant's pay scale is 7 cpl also, but would you rather get 7 cpl and easily transcribe 250 lph or get 10 cpl and struggle to do 150 lph. Give me 7 cpl any day and spare me the headache.
she was too busy for you the way you are often too busy for her...what's the question? nm

RESCUE YOURSELF
Rescue yourself.
I just did it. It takes an immense amount of energy when you don''t have any from the abuse. You have to sell whatever you can, go to Catholic Charities, Salvation Army, whoever/whatever will listen to you and GET OUT.
I just did it. It was not easy and I had to dump all my pride. But the fact is, I did it and now I can sleep at night and there is peace.
You just start begging family, friends, churches, to help you. It is worth it. The result is that you and your babies have peace.
You will prolly have to go to court, and that is scary, but remember, dig in. You are fighting for your kids's peace of mind. It is worth every effort that you make..You will be told no more times than yes, but you will be told yes enough to make it out.
Pray. Ask. Wait for the break that you need...and take it.
GOD SPEED.
Marion to the rescue
You are a lifesaver woman! I can never thank you enough.
Thanks, didn't think of a lab rescue. I will NOT
take her to a shelter. The rescue is a good idea because I'm sure they would have the heart that I want her new owner to have. A local station does have a TV spot weekly, but only from the various shelters.
I just wasn't sure what a reasonable time to keep her before I found her a new home.
Bird rescue, etc. (s/m)
Interesting story about the birds! It sounds like you are doing a great favor to a lot of animals. Yes, actually the Queen Bee friend did request that I give back clothing I didn't want to her, but after the fact. I already had my nose a little bit out of joint by then, so felt that I would just put an end to the problem in its entirety by no longer accepting gifts with strings attached.
It is different with animals, though, and I agree with your request to give birds back to you, since the birds have feelings and have already had unstable lives. I got my cat through a cat rescue, and although he is now MY cat, I signed a paper agreeing to return him if I didn't want him (ha! that'll never happen), or couldn't care for him. That info. is actually on his microchip, as well. If I were to suddenly die or something, I would have the peace of mind in knowing that even if he ended up in the animal shelter, one scan of the chip would let them know the cat was to be returned to rescue, and they would actually have someone drive down to get him. Then he would be safe and well-cared-for until they found someone else who would spoil him as much as I do! ;)
doberman rescue
I'm happy to read your post, thanks. There is a rescue in Illinois, my border state, so one day I will go there; I visited the web site, which makes me happy there are places like that but sad also that the dogs end up there. You are right, they get a bum rap; they are misunderstood. They follow you around your house and just want to be by you and love children. My first one years ago I left her tail long and ears down; I had compliments all the time on how pretty she was; she one Third Longest Tail award at a dog show once. My last one I had to put down in the spring due to degeneration of her hips. Yours lived a long time; average life span I think is 10 years. They are beautiful, protective, loving dogs. Some day I want to sell my house, buy some acres and have a rescue of my own.
Ask your vet for advice. There's probably a wildlife rescue somewhere near you. nm

A rescue helicopter crashed in N.O. but all got out
safe and alive. My heart and prayers go out to all these people.
Agree with Lab Rescue. A friend of mine sm
is involved with them and fostered labs before she got another dog of her own. They will provide the dog with medical care and a loving home while they try to find a good home for the dog.
Thank you for being so diligent caring for this dog. You sound like a terrific person. Labs are such wanderers. Hopefully someone will claim the doggie soon. Good luck!!
MT doc to the rescue; ma'am, i think you have ADHD or hypersensitivity. sm
maybe we should prescribe you some meds for that. it will make you perform better on your job and help you greatly. now, i need you to follow up with me weekly so we can draw some labs and keep a check of your status to make sure we don't need to adjust your meds any. that will be $250 for today's consult. yep, and $75 for your RX. oh yeah, and when you come back weekly, expect to pay another $100 per visit plus lab fees. sorry, having a boring, working night. had to spice something up, lol.

We played our rescue's favorite game if she started looking worried when a storm came up.
Normally we would do as mistoo does and ignore the storm, and she did fine. But one storm was particularly loud, so she seemed a bit anxious. I got down into "let's play" position on the floor, and proceded to play a nice loud growly-bump game with her. We had a good time, and the exercise not only distracted her, but the physical exertion calmed her nerves and made her very happy.
Recently I kept my sister's dog for a week and discovered that fireworks cause her to shake terribly. I called my sister, who had never seen her quake with fear - because they leave the dog outside all the time. So all those times fireworks have gone off in the neighborhood, her dog has been outside alone, quaking in fear. So sad. For her nerves I put a T-shirt on her (supposed to be calming to put on semi-tight clothes) and let her sit in my lap on the couch. Yup, all 50 lb of border collie up on my lap, LOL.
Aw, Busy
we're all allowed to be grouchy now and then. LOL I hear where you're coming from. I know some old timer MTs who think they know it all but I've been doing this long enough to realize there is not even one MT who knows everything there is to know and times do change. I'm one of those old timers who knows she doesn't come close to knowing everything plus I roll with the flow. Whatever the company I'm working for at the time wants, they're going to get from me...whether it's right or wrong in my opinion, they're the one signing ye ole paycheck. All I require is that they be clear about what they want and not have one person correct me and then the next person correct me for doing exactly what the first person told me to do. THAT is nothing short of nitpicking and I WILL NOT tolerate that from any company.
to Busy...
What if your mom or pop was on social security, and was doing odd jobs for people and getting paid for it with cash, how would you feel then? Some older folks do not make enough to live on with just SS. If they work and get cash, I am glad for them. Tax evasion as such is more about people who make BIG BUCKS. They want those type of people, not the poor peons doing some type work as some of these people do cleaning. I would bet that most cleaning people (not the ones that work for companies) receive cash. Housecleaning is not an easy job for a big house and the people who do the cleaning for others deserve evey penny.
To Busy.
I did not know we were even poor because everybody in my neighborhood was poor until I got older. I grew up in the 50s and things are a lot different than now. I don't have to worry about that scenario either. Obligation to not be poor? I don't think anyone chooses to be poor. Some people don't have the same opportunities that others do. Fortunately, one thing I learned from my parents is to not be judgmental and to show compassion and to not be greedy. My parents were giving, christian people and conservative. I am a bit more liberal but being poor is not a choice. My father worked hard and provided us with most everthing we needed, food, shelter, and clothing (and not new clothing or a new house). I had what I needed and nothing more and nothing excess like people have today. I still live modestly. Nothing extravagant, but everything I need and nothing more. I don't want to argue either, I am just stating my opinion and that is all it is. I don't expect everyone to agree with me.
To Busy
Busy, I agree with you totally. I am often asked to work extra, and I am glad to do it. I do MT to make money. Nothing wrong with that. It's the way our society works. Thank you for being a voice of reason in this sea of negativity.
Thank Q, Busy...
You've also earned my respect for your level head and insight - it has become quite apparent to me in recent months - sorry I slammed you earlier. As for the previous poster, believe it or not money was not my motivating factor in pursuing my journalism degree. I KNEW it was not an engineering or pre-med degree and would not "pay out" like those particular fields - I was just happy to be finally getting a chance to go back to school at the age of 31 and this time do it right (unlike when I was 18 and didn't know what the heck I wanted to do with my life). I went for a journalism degree simply because I loved to write - I didn't care about the money. However, after I graduated in February 1993 I was hit with reality - the economy and job market in general were horrendous (this was a couple years before the "roaring 90s" got started. There were no jobs - I must have sent out thousands of resumes before graduation only to receive a few offers at minimum wage for small newspapers. I did "luck out" and get a job with a Columbus weekly newspaper as staff writer and Editor which paid $9/hr. - GREAT in 1994. However after a year the paper folded and I was out of work again. That is when I "fell" into MT - I called up my temp service (the only work I could find in those lousy economy days)and the supe just happened to answer the phone as I made my daily plea for any jobs. He said he did have a temp assignment for a medical Transcriptionist with a local family practice. I told him I had never done that but he said "Well obviously with your degree in journalism you know about grammar and spelling so I'll give that assignment to you anyway." I was hired by a hospital after that assignment ended in a couple months and found it paid a LOT more than any newspaper job. Having to repay my huge student loans at that point made me acutely aware of the need to make decent money - something else that hadn't occured to me as I started school. As no journalism job offers were forthcoming I stayed with the hospital (whose transcription department was later outsourced to MedQuist, BTW)and the rest is history. The hospital paid me $10/hr. - GREAT in 1995 as opposed to $5 or 6 with newspapers - so in that respect I suppose I "sold out", but when you owe $30,000 in school loans you tend to go "where the money is." Lately I've just been wondering if this may be a good time to try again with journalism - and I've appreciated all the feedback on the board. So no, money was not my motivating factor when I started school, but after school the economy FORCED it to be so I could live, pay my bills and pay off my loans. Thanx again for all the ideas - definitely worth looking into!
She's probably very busy right now, is all. nm

And then when they get busy, they wonder why you
don't want to work 24/7 to get them caught up. Seems that the part timers have it better than the full timers.
busy
We are busy as ever. Barely keeping up with our TAT. Actually a little bit busier than the holidays.
To Busy
Wow! What an accomplishment!!! Good luck to you!! You most certainly will succeed in all that you do because of your mindset!!
I enjoy going to school at my age with all the kids. I think I'm going to make it too!
too busy
Yes, a hobby is good for some. Now take my hubby of 16 years for instance...the first 8 or so years were great then then the kids came and whamoo, a sports nut I knew but he is throwing himself into soccer, softball, baseball, wresling, anything the kids are in, he is in. which I know you all think is wonderful to have such a loving involved father being attentive to the kids and all, but it doesn't stop on the field or gym. Coach comes home and it is nonstop mothers calling him and then there is the sitting at the computer for hours planning the "next practice". Ugh...it is nonstop with this one. He is also a Boy Scout leader. I myself lead the Girl Scouts but I don't get so wrapped up in planning that I forget my husbands needs when he is around that is. I grew up on a farm and my mom and dad and two brothers were happy to do chores together and I was never out for sports, now don't get me wrong we did other things outside the house like vocal and 4-H but nothing really sportsy, so I am having a very hard time seeing this almighty light he has seem to found for the last eight years. I have never voiced this to anyone but him, but you know maybe some advise would be good from anyone out there. Thanks.
Same to you Busy!!! *S*
Hope the Easter Bunny is good to you and yours! 
Well said Busy
You have a lovely way of writing and expressing your thoughts. Have you ever explored writing for a living? I think you'd be good at it. 
Yes but they are usually very busy. (nm)

busy, busy, busy
I guess it depends on where your account is located as to when your busy season is. We have been working extra all summer, lots of work, MTs on vacation, etc. I don't buy that work load is low in the middle of summer. Maybe they over hired or they sent off shore, now that I would believe! I would start looking for another job.
Most of us who already know how to MT are too busy
And those who did, soon learned there wasn't a pot of gold at the end of it, either.
and we all know what Clinton was busy doing!
Your guy didn't win... don't blame everything in the world on Bush because of it!
Maybe this is the same Busy MT'ing who will be getting a
Bachelor of Science degree in December and is going to go on to medical school. Obviously, not as happy with job as would like for us to believe.
Why don't you get Busy MTing?
TO BUSY MT'ING
Pay no attention to some of these people... they were abused as children. LOL
Wow! Your one busy lady! My hat goes off to you!nm
nm
That should be Busy Mouthing...
How can you be so productive as you say you are unless MT Stars is paying you to post. Now, quickly back to work.
A question for busy MT'g
Do you bring out your reference materials with you when you sit in your living room and work on laptop? I'm sure with all you're typing, you must get some difficult dictators that slow you down. Do you keep separate references from office and LR? I have voluminous medical books and resources -- and I know if I get a complicated neurosurgery OR or heavy ESL specialist, I need to stop to look things up -- this is after 27 years in this. How do you handle that aspect?
For busy MT'ing
You're quite sanctimonious, but not particularly smart. Since MQ's requirement for FTEs was never for hours, but rather 12,000 lines per pay period, AND the fact that FTMTs only get a per-line rate, what difference does it make whether they get 12,000 lines in 10 hours or 50? Does MQ plan to pay an hourly rate to go along with the line requirement? If not, why is there a new standard? I know you're a bulk producer -- as I have no way to know whether the quality of your work is as good as the amount, and assuming the QA is the same low caliber it has always been, they would never notice your errors anyway -- I'll assume you do nothing but easy accounts all day and never look anything up -- in any event, the new hourly requirement does merit questioning. MQ needs to pay an hourly rate if they are going to start a new hourly standard for FTEs. Period. Nothing unreasonable expecting they should do so. Also, YOU have a choice. You can ignore the posts -- stop reading them! You're righteous lectures are a tad tiresome. As of now, I am done reading anything YOU post.
Yup, you do sound a tad busy! lol ;o) sm
You're probably right about at least taking a course. I tend to be an "all or nothing" type of person, which gets me in trouble with over analyzing everything! Thanks for your thoughts and take care of yourself! ;o)
To Busy MTing
Busy - please tell about your experience with going back to school - how old (young) were you when you went back to school? What are your interests for your next occupation? Thanks in advance!
Did you get the FotoFacial, Busy? sm
I've been thinking about getting that. Is that the laser treatment that you received?
I've been using the Eucerin Redness Relief. It is very soothing, but I can't say that it has decreased the redness much.
It is cool. We all know how busy each other is.
dd
Just the cat, when I happen to be especially busy - sm
she will plop down on the desk directly in front of me (usually blocking the monitor) and be on top of my notepad and/or patients lists. Makes it a bit hard to work.
Is Goldbird and Busy MT one and the same?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Hey Busy, come help me get organized...sm
Yo Busy!!
You seem to be the MOST organized of all my acquaintences!!! Kudos to you!!! Come help me get more organized. *LOL*
S. Florida friend !! 
True OM"s are very busy but who isn't?
point is, it is still her job as the OM to manage the office. This is a physician's office. They can spend as much on equipment, IT support,.etc. as he wants. Point was - she's busy?, well I'm busy too. But I do my part and she should do hers.
Our QA department is much too busy
to give us feedback like that. They are very complimentary of my work ... probably because I do take the time to look up other reports to make sure I fill in all the tough spots I possibly can. I've done acute care before, but got away from it for a few years. I only had one ESL at my last job. I sure got good at Korean though! With this job it's pretty typical, with many different dictators and accents, but it's just heavy on certain "Asian" (happy now?) dictators instead of Indian. At least there aren't many of the certain Spanish ones I have trouble with. What the ones I have trouble with have in common is that their language uses more percussive sounds and fewer vowel tones. It doesn't matter if the vowel tones are different; I can adapt. But when it records as whispery percussive sounds, I struggle.
Sorry -- got busy with typing
Thank goodness I still have some . . . LOL!
Anyway, I think it has suffered, in my case anyway. The doc just really does not have time for ME, the way I see it. This particular group is a practice that was locally owned by one physician, here in the Atlanta area, and was bought by a company that also owns a group in Pennsylvania. I feel tension all over that office, and my feeling is that it is the pressure associated with be driven (by someone else) toward the almighty dollar (for someone else, mostly). Forget patient care. Just my take.
