on both sides of the fence. Yeah, I know the consequences and the possiblities. I live with them every day. I guess I have not been as good a planner as many of you have been. It kind of snow-balled me before I could get a grip on it. I think not having a good tax guy for 10 years did not help. But any solutions to getting out of debt with the IRS would be greatly appreciated. Like they say Two things are for sure, death and taxes. No way around either. I have heard that some people cheat the goverment every year with not reporting income and stuff and never have to pay nothing because they make a living under the table. The penaty I get for reporting and filing and having a husband that works a good job is garnished wages and liens. No one wants to work out payment plans that you can live with.

Thanks for letting us know he's OK.
That's good news. I will put his name on the prayer list at our church. I hope he is soon able to get back on his feet.
I'm just letting you know that they are
not as expensive as you were making them out to be. The big bags cost that much, not a regular purse, and I am not talking knock offs. I am not disagreeing with you though. Most all of these people have been poor their whole life. If you think that every one of them will take that $2000 and only spend in on things that they need, then you are disillusioned. To be honest with you, I am surprised more people have not wasted it on unnecessary items.
Thanks for letting us know about this.
These deals are great! I just requested a catalog. I will check this site before I buy software ever again.
OMG! Thanks so much for letting me know!

Thanks for letting me know!
That's pretty much what I have wound up doing, too bad they couldn't come up with a better way to do that to make it easier, but at least I know that it's not just me!! I'm definitely not use to the automatic numbering that Word does. Fortunately not many of my docs do this subset thing, but there are a couple, and one that even dictates i. ii. iii. under a.b.c., that almost had me pulling my hair out trying to get those lined up!
Thank you for letting us know.
I was one who posted trying to help. I'm glad to know that you were finally able to get it to work; you're information may also be helpful to someone else in the future with a similar problem.
Thank you, for letting me know I am not the only one...
doing this quickly so I do not get the 'boot' again!
I stopped letting them do that.
Too many times they had inexperienced techs who messed everything up. Once my computer crashed because of what they did. Another time, another company, they deleted a program and nothing would work right. Just because they say they are a computer tech does not mean they know anything. Many do not even have a certificate, just a litle on the job training.
I don't mind letting one use it but....nm
sounds like you are letting them run over you. sm
you are going to have to stand up and say look in order to keep those accts, keep work flowing to you, and money to all of us, we have to meet our requirements. the more you let them lax, the more they will do it. no one likes to be ridden either, but at some point you have to say something or it will only get worse. maybe start pulling some of their work from their assigned acct and giving it to those one or two who are productive on thurs/fri and the others will get the hint to get their work done or you will get someone else to do it.
You did take off from work, without letting anyone know
You flew out of town and now something does not work? If I were them, I would be upset without a notice. You do not sound responsible because if you were, you would have thought out about your work before leaving unless a dire emergency and then you probably would have notified your company.
Just letting you know what I found
This site is very reliable. Luckily I barely use my cell phone so hopefully if it true I won't be effected.
There is nothing lost by letting them know
We are all human.
If they take you back, then give it a while before looking for a new position, and then when you leave the next time, you'll know to have it all in place before giving your notice. Don't fall for these "must start right away" advertisements for jobs. They are a buncha you know what. All companies have at least one MT to cover until they find a new hire. Nothing happens overnight!
Your other option would be to start applying and testing with other companies. I remember Transcend being really quick to get me equipment when I worked for them. Another idea would be to post your resume here and you may get offers if you haven't already done so. Oh gosh, I feel so bad for you. Please let us know how you make out. What a pickle; but you can still transcribe, so you should be okay as long as you can pick up something really soon.
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
OMG. I'm never letting my legs out of my sight again. LOL.
nm
Its the MQ way. I have my way of letting them know I know they are lying. I hate being BS around.
:
I'm gonna do all of them! Thanks for letting me vent!
:-)
Try covering with mayonaise and letting sit...
for a few hours/over night; then wipe off.
More surprising is what the parents are letting them do. sm
My daughter is in 6th grade. There is a girl in her class who is ELEVEN years old. Now keep the age in mind for a minute here.
This 11-year-old girl has piercings in one eyebrow, one side of her nose, her bottom lip, her tongue AND her belly button. Both ears are also pierced all the way around with about 12 studs in each ear. She wears full makeup and tight, low slung jeans. She told my daughter that she is getting a tattoo for her 13th birthday.
Sort of a "teenage right of passage" so to speak? After all her parents have pretty much run out of things to give her permission to do.
I've met the "parents" and it's obvious that the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree.
Shall I suggest a uvula piercing for her big 13th?
I am confused here, you are leary about letting - sm
young kids drive, but you allow your 14-1/2-year-old to drive? Not only is this illegal, it is nuts. I hope you just made a typo and are not actually allowing your underage child to drive. You will both get in a lot of trouble if you are ever caught, which I hope is the case if she is underage.
Is there a chance the other cat(s) aren't letting her use the litter box? sm
That is a problem in my multicat household. Some of them will chase the cat who is eliminating in the wrong place so she can't use the box. They'll even hide in the area of the box and pounce on her when she tries to relieve herself. You can try putting boxes in different spots or different floors of the home. Good luck.
Letting Physician hear her own dictation
I had two bad dictating Rads, one who said "period paragraph" in the middle of a sentence throughout the entire report and another who threw up the films while dictating, as his handset was placed on the counter. There was no OM to talk to, it was me and after asking them repeatedly to fix the problem, they tried with no improvement. So I typed the report exactly as he dictated it and gave it to him for signature. He never said a word to me about it, just redictated clearly and never did it again. With the other, I walked into the reading room and played the tape for him and asked him if he wanted me to send the dictation to the referring physician so that he could figure out what he was saying. You would be surprised how quick these guys got their act together. But they really did not think there was a problem until it was presented to them. Maybe she needs to hear what it sounds like. She may not think its so bad. I say copy and send the bad dictations with the letter. Leaving out those things mentioned above.
You make 25-30 an hour by letting the editor do your job for you dumba$$!
You will get yours in the end sweetie. Having someone else do your job shows you are lazy!!
Oh my you would have Amherst in a scramble letting their reports get 2 hours old. Gee, they would
have no clue what to do. Probably sit up all night and watch the system or MAYBE do them themselves to keep the 1 hour TAT. Yep.
I agree with not letting our children watch crap; however,
I think some people are a little too sensitive when it comes to TV. Being someone who supports gay marriage, shows such as Will and Grace do not bother me. I don't really watch much TV though. The only show I love is CSI, but I rarely have time to sit down and watch it.
On the other hand, I have a huge problem with a network that allows many animals to be killed just for entertainment purposes and a problem with people who think that this is okay for some reason. It's pathetic. If that were dogs or cats floating around in that water instead of rats, people would be throwing a fit. What is the difference??
I don't understand why everyone keeps letting Rapid Transcript advertise...SM
They have been doing this for years. I had to nearly take them to court to be paid for two weeks worth of typing. I can't believe that they are still getting away with this. PLEASE, in the best interest of honest MTs looking for an honest day's wage, STOP ALLOWING THEM TO ADVERTISE ON THIS WEBSITE OR ANY OTHER MT JOB WEBSITE. TIA
lol... that's funny. that's what I'm talking about, letting your fingers loose and not wor
I've been letting them stay up pretty late, so they sleep until 10:00.
Still, they get bored in those two hours between getting up and my finishing work at noon. Goofy kids. I do have them in band, but it ends this week. Maybe a day camp for a week or two. I think I'll haul them off to the library for some books. The only Y or rec program in town is in the rougher neighborhood, and they only offer certain scheduled classes. Thanks for the tip!

so many people was wishy-washy nowadays...love to see people make
a stand for what they believe in...
it is kind of wierd those statements have to be made in the first place but guess we are an ever-transitioning country and are still young. so many different beliefs yet not much tolerance.
I found your post respectful, and right on as to how you feel. it does not seem that difficult to sift through to read and respond to messages someone might not care for...
Just remember that it is not the people on this board who short changed their people and ONLY after
caught did they (after they were suied) make an effort to look good by sending out these checks. Now, think about this--had they done this many years ago when they short changed everyone, that would have been honest. Does it not bother you that only after they know they are under the gun that they are doing this to try and make themselves look good?
I used to work for MQ and I used to like what I did. I never can say I really liked the people that I worked with, but I really think they had some of the best accounts that I have ever come across in the MT industry. I loved working the major teaching hospitals that I did, but that certainly does not mean that I enjoyed being cheated out of pay.
So chill already. People have been cheated, were lied to, and only AFTER they got caught have they tried to return some of the money they robbed us of (as well as cheated their clients).
We all have reasons not to be happy with this company and you go off on us because we are complaining of things like small refund checks of a penny or a few cents or a few hundred dollars and NO WAY to even check to find out if this is correct?
I am sorry you are unhappy all of us thinking that there is still a dead rat in the cellar, but there is still a dead rat in the cellar and nothing will bring the dead rat back.
I would hold no love for a company that I know willingly cheated the very people who helped THEM make money out of their hard-earned money.
Go take a deep breath and think about that.
My people skills are just fine. I just want to hire people who want to work.
I've not been ugly, I've asked questions, legitimate ones. Please tell me what is wrong with that. This site is not just for MTs, it is for QA Editors, Supervisors, Service Owners, there's even sections for Billers, Coders, and Nurses.
rude people? I would take good pay over polite people any day
Besides that they have never been rude to me and I have been here for almost 2 years. What do you consider a bad account?
I know my account is a little tough, but I am used to it. I am tough!
Rude people? I hardly think so. They are some of the nicest people I have ever worked with. sm
Not just management, but QA as well. No one is rude. They are a very understanding staff. There is one account that is hard but all it takes is getting used to it. Once you are used to it, it is no harder than any other ESL account that you would do anyplace else. I have heard all these things about TH from the archives and I have yet to come across rudeness or any kind of thing that I have read about in the archives. I would definitely pursue them if I were you. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
2 people to do that amount of work, is she nuts? More like 20+ people - nm
x
Certain people getting raises, certain people not. Guess who is?
Say what you will about unions, the good and the bad. But, one thing they did ensure is a raise, good benefits and that you would have a job in the morning.
Yeah right, OF COURSE! How could there be other people who don't like QA people?
Could only be one. Hahaha. Dream on.
I agree, some people will never get it but, then again, what does it say about them as people? Not
.
I don't like people
nm
Just so happens there ARE some people who
CAN really produce and NOT cherrypick. GEESH.
Problems come from working with stinky attitudes like yours.
The people....
Did you ever think that what you take as politeness might just be their poor language skills?
Why don't you go over to India and live for awhile - they have half of our MT jobs so you should be able to find work (Healthscribe, Medware). Then, tell us how polite they are.
People are people - just because they live in another culture doesn't make them any better than us or any worse than us. It is the job, working with the public, that wears people down eventually. It is particularly easy to be rude over the phone.
There are people who don't know better, there are people
who need to be at home for whatever reason, a chronic illness, kids, caregiver to sick parents, etc. Any job is better than no job if you need to eat.
If there were enough decent paying jobs with honest companies no one would work for the low paying, dishonest companies. So far I have turned down jobs with MQ because of their actions, quit a job with SS because it is a lowsy company, I have turned down 2 positions with companies that offshore. Fortunately I got on with a company that paid a decent wage and one that doesn't offshore, though it isn't the great company that it used to be either, but it is a living.
try something most people have a
problem with and your worth increases .. neurology and ophthalmology for instance. Most people are afraid of the eye .. wonderful once it becomes second nature. Oncology is another sought after skill, but takes a lot of work. Also you might contact M-Tec to take their class in neuro or OAK Horizons .. they are both very good.
That people such as yourself
would quit airing your dirty laundry and asking for advise - and then get all pissy when people give their opinion. After all, that is what you were after right? This is MT Stars, this is NOT a military advice column or posting board. When you open yourself up on a public forum, then be prepared for what follows.
Personally, I think anyone who signs up to defend the country and then turns his back on his duty is HEARTLESS.
The military makes your obligations and consequences VERY clear.
Sure some people do need help..(sm)
The below is an e-mail that I got from a lady who lives in Houston. These are her observations only, but it sure does make you think about all of the self-righteous out there who really don't understand another person's hesitation in taking many of the people in to our communities. Some of them come from a whole different kind of mentality.
Well...
I feel sorry for these people - they have lost everything - they have nothing. I blame their own government at least a bit for not evacuating the ones that were too poor or had no way to evacuate.
That being said, it isn't going as well here as the media makes it out to be. Anthony has been down the to the Astrodome as required by the Fire Department, and I went down on Saturday with a friend of mine.
The Astrodome holds around 50,000 people - and there aren't that many evacuees down there. There are bathroom facilities, but these people are squatting on the streets, parking lots, and lawns of places down around the astrodome and leaving behind urine and fecal matter. They are throwing trash wherever they are when they finish with it, and quite a few act like we "owe" them something. I can't tell you how many people were bitching about the MRE's that they were being served.
As high as gas prices are, I will go out of my way not to have to drive by the Astrodome (my RE's office is about 1 mile from the dome). When you stop at a stop light they come up to your car and beg - and knock on the windows. There have even been reports of some jumping in the backs of pickups and even scratching cars and trucks with knives, if you don't give them money.
I know that there are some good people out there, but there are a lot of bad ones too. There are some that were appreciative of the baby formula (breastfeeders - please don't jump on me here) and diapers and coloring books that we were handing out - and some that were bitching about the brand of diapers, the fact that we were only authorized to give out one can of formula per child and that we didn't have a certain kind of bottles. I even had people that refused to take gift cards from Grocery Stores - wanting money instead.
Last night, one of the evacuees was able to score some alcohol somewhere, got drunk and carjacked a car and ran into several parked cars - the police were able to pull him over after a 15 minute chase.
And I can't get over the smell of raw sewage in the area of town that most of the evacuees are housed. The plumbing in the toilets are working just fine - but they aren't using it. They are trashing the place.
I can't imagine what it must be like for them, having nothing but the clothes on their backs - but I think I would be more appreciative of whatever someone could do for me, instead of griping about what kind of bottles they were giving me to feed my kids with, and that the MRE's were cold.
I really have mixed emotions about the whole thing. I feel sorry for the people who couldn't leave, and got stuck in the chaos. I don't have as much sympathy for the ones who could have left, but didn't want to.
I am sure I sound like a cold, callous, b****, but I was absolutely amazed at the attitude of most of the evacuees that I was in contact with on Saturday.
