Did you notice the Feb 3 date? That would be this coming Friday. Wonder how our various transcription companies are going to fare? ugh. I hope they don't crash.

Norton Internet Security does this. Costs the same as Norton AV and includes it.
has a user list, which you, as administrator, can have password protected so users cannot change the list. What we do is put on sites that we approve. Anything else has to be done on the laptop in view...
You can buy Internet Security every year anytime from Jan through April tax time, and get rebates. Just as cheap as NAV and includes it, as I said.
can you use Firefox with Norton? I have Norton, but some popups still get through. nm

Norton vs. McAfee. Go with Norton. nm

I'm on Nights
I just can't "turn into" a morning person. My schedule is 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., but it's very flexible. I don't have kids, but I live with my mom at the moment and she hates my schedule since she works days. I love it. I work days occasionally, but I get SO tired in the middle of the day, and when I work nights, I can stay up for a lot longer. I love working at night; it's quiet, I can't distract myself because I have to BE quiet, I don't spend all day awake by myself while Mom's at work, etc...I don't have much of a night life, though. That's a good thing, however, since I'm single and not really one to go out on the town.
With the heat, I'm going to try nights
I think my favorite account is getting cleaned out first thing AM, so I'm going to try nights for a bit. Starting now!
Those of you who do nights regularly, any secrets to staying perky?
I work nights
from 5pm to wee hours. I'm home every day with the kids. I do get child support for my 16 y/o and my "BF" and I have not yet discussed about the two little ones. I am hoping time will be split as 50/50 as we can get it as he works days, I work nights.
Tue thru Sat, nights, so it ends up being Tue thru Sun. nm

Italian, like most nights.
Spaghetti with red sauce. Salad. I'm tired.
I work nights....
I usually split my shift so I can have a break...8 hours straight gets rough for me sitting and typing. I usually work 5-9 p.m. and 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. I go to bed at around 6 a.m. usually, it's still a little dark then and easier to get to sleep. I am single though and don't have kids. I don't think I could do my schedule otherwise. The good aspect is that I never run out of work and I make extra money for working the shifts. Plus I am not now, never have been and never will be a morning person, so I like not having to have an alarm wake me up. The bad is it's easy to be a hermit some days working the opposite of most of the rest of the world, lots of things wake me up (lawn mowers, chain saws, weed eaters, UPS, if I forget to turn my phone off and people are aghast that they woke me up and it's NOON?!?!?) Fortunately I have a supervisor who will let me flex my hours if I have family in town or something else going on. If I ever actually get a LIFE (socialy speaking), I will probably have to modify my hours, but for right now it fits me pretty well and the extra money is definitely nice.
Yes I do work nights
I can and do work when the work is available vs competing for work during popular hours/days. I worked nights inhouse too, because I'm a night person. And I work weekends. Not all of us are princesses that insist on prime days/hours!
Why do you pay for Norton when
you can get AVG for free and it constantly updates itself.....?
Norton v. AVG
Go with Norton. Do the research. It's worth every dime.
Norton
I have Windows XP, service pack 2. Norton works fantastic. It catches everything. I do remember having trouble with downloading at first. Just uninstall and try again. You'll be glad you did. Run Ad-Aware and Spybot every few days and you're good-to-go. 
Norton
There's a difference between the free version of Norton/AVG and the pay-for-it versions. I paid $50 for Norton 2005. With AVG or Norton, I believe you need to pay for it to get the protection you need. 
Norton
Even if you uninstall it, Norton "knows" you had it in your computer, and it won't re-start itself. When you go to hook up to the internet to do the updates, it won't work. In my experience, the only way to get Norton again for free is to reformat your hard drive. You kinda have to know what you are doing and it is a big pain in the neck. You have to have all your programs on disk to be re-installed, and all files backed up on disc... but it does work. I did it a couple of times and I saved about $100 in doing so, but I really had nothing on my computer to mess up, so I went for it. I would definitely go for the free programs you can find on the net first!!!
Norton
Norton Utilities has a program called WinDoctor that does the same thing and it's awesome.
Does MQ pay shift differential for nights?
My company doesn't. My want to apply there.
Anyone else crazy enough to work nights with a..
family?? Considering changing shifts, but have only personally known other MTs working nights because their spouse did and had no kids, etc. Spouse works regular days, 3 kids...am I asking for trouble? lol If any of you out there manage this...how do you work out on the weekends on your days off? No way it would work around here with me sleeping most of the day and leaving hubby to tend to 3 kids alone! Is it too hard to flip schedules between weekdays/weekends? Thanks for any input.
I hate theme nights because
the contestants try to do the artist proud but don't make the songs their own. Karaoke as Simon puts it.
Who should go home? Kevin and/or Melissa, do they kick off 1 or 2 tonight? These 2 are definitely inferior to the rest of the performers. Bucky is running my close third for getting the boot. I really like him, but I don't think he's got what it takes for different song styles that will be coming down the line.
TOP 3: Chris, Mandisa and Taylor.
I've tried that the past few nights
it gets WAY too frosty!! :)
Hang in there. There will be days or nights
like this sometimes. Most likely they rebooted the system and old junk that got left behind from cherry picking got stuck in the cues. I have worked late at night and that has happened, especially since less people work at night. I am thinking it is not you, just got stuck on a night they updated the jobs. Hang in there. If they have a good reputation, odds are someone else will get stuck next time when the get the old jobs which are stuck and left undone. And remember, what goes around comes around. One day hopefully soon you will get all good reports to balance these out. Good luck.
Norton vs. McAfee..which best?sm
Just got a new laptop that came with McAfee..now they are offering me subscription for half price...$69.00...I've always used Norton before and wondering if there is any difference.
That was in a movie right? He looks great on award nights.
I like him because he seems to be focused on the part he plays and not on looking good and in some movies, especially the pirate movie, he looked not so good but was hilarious. He doesn't seem Hollywood to me all propped up and doing the guest appearances to promote his movies.
I just switched to nights and found I like it alot.
I get a nicer variety of reports so I don't get bored. I keep the tv on behind me but don't watch it. No interruptions, no phone, no kids or hubby, although my kids are all out of high school. They still tend to interrupt. The dogs are sleeping so I don't have to let them out. I do open a window for some of that gorgeous night air. I only need about 6-7 hours of sleep, so I hit the hay when I am done and sleep for around 4 hours, get up and do a few things, then conk out again for 2-3 hours later. It seems to be working out.
I'm crazy enough to work nights with two schnauzers. sm
They wake me up promptly at noon - I open my eyes, and they are both staring a hole through my head. If I don't respond, Mollie claws at me, and Toby licks me in the face. I get up, let them out, then I go back to bed for a couple of hours.
I can't wait until we buy a house and are able to fence the yard! (or buy one with a fenced yard).
1. He works nights. 2. I work days
Ah, but the weekends. . . ..
Yeah, working nights would be great if
the rest of the world was on that shift!!
I just switched back to days after 5 or more years of graveyard. I loved it except for what you mentioned.
My only suggestion to the OP would be try to stay up the entire night before you start working, sleep that day, and then work your shift. That way, you will start getting you internal clock used to those hours.
It's not easy, so be patient. It will take about a week, maybe a little longer to get used to it. You'll probably feel a little fatigued and sluggish, but just try to hang in there. And don't be scared. I remember when I first started working graveyard, I had this feeling like I should NOT be awake right now. I felt physically okay, but emotinoally I felt like I was not doing something right... don't really know how to explain it...
Anyhow, good luck!!
I just keep Norton I suppose and never checked into anything else.

My Norton or my Outlook Express? (sm)
For some reason, for the last 2 or 3 days, when I am sending an email, that little Norton box that pops up is taking a long time to appear, like maybe about 15 seconds or so. It used to be as soon as I hit "send." Is this a problem with my email or my Norton? and is it a big deal? Just wondering why the change. Thanks
My Norton subscription is about to expire.
I can't afford that $40 renewal fee right now. What can I do?
HP/Quicken/Norton outsource
I agree. My printer/fax machine died and had to get a new one. There was a piece in the way so that I could not get the ink in, so had to call Customer Service. Two hours later, with understanding only 1/3 of what he said, I finally got the information I needed. My computer crashed on me (not a good year), had to call HP and Norton, both of which use India for their Customer Service - finally went and bought a new computer as got no help. Couldn't get my Quicken loaded, so called the help desk, and guess what! He was not understanding my question/problem at all. It's like I cannot get into that part or I would not be asking for help! Finally, a friend of mine helped me and got into it so I could do a backup to restore my data. I am sick of this so-called "service", and sure hope American companies, hospitals in particular catch on soon before our whole world crashes down on us.
Obviously it is not fixed if Norton keeps detecing it...
mine keeps detecting it as well. It will stop for a couple of days and then start in again.
I would like to know what the "glitch" is exactly...
Norton antivirus program
If my Norton antivirus program expires, will it still work but just not allow me to get updates, or will it stop working altogether? I was hoping to wait until the weekend to install a new one.
Fri and Sat nights. Various places, but real expensive for special

I see you are caught in
already.
In some offices you continually run out of work - and MQ gives you
no policy in writing as to what your rights are or what they will
provide in the way of "buffer". All they do is say "we can give you more
accounts".
Well, sitting in front of a computer 24 hours a day and still not finding
enough work on dozens of accounts is not being a good business
person.
Having an account or else built in protection for times when there is no work
is BEING A GOOD BUSINESS PERSON.
Even if you are an employee, and there is no work, suddenly you find you
are RESPONSIBLE for the huge medical insurance bill - for several pay periods "because you didn't meet your line requirement"
I'm telling you, this company needs to either standardize it's politicies and
be up front with what they do, or forever go through the system as being
utterly slippery and underhanded, and deserve the reputation they so
deservedly have right now. Of course they have their own agenda and could
care less about posters like me who have been through the drill until I was ground
down into the ground and broke, because they are "using" MTs to position themselves into the world of VR. And it will have been done on the backs
of many MTs who lost it all thinking at some point MQ would finally "do right"
They haven't and probably will never.
So my advice is, if you can't get some policies in writing from whereever possible
(New Jersey just flips you off, so don't waste your time there), don't invest too
much in this company as you will be at their mercy and feel like you are never on solid ground financially. It is not a company to work for if you need the
money for a living. It is merely to pick up pocket change.
What caught my eye was sm
"it's a teaching hospital". Been there, done that. Get ready for ESLs that change every year. You might like it, but you'll earn every cent. On the plus side, you'll learn so much more than with a nonteaching hospital, which is good. Let us know what you decide.
AVG has caught several
viruses. I also run online scans on sites like Trend Micro, Panda, etc., on occasion just to double-check the effectiveness of AVG & make sure it hasn't missed anything. I've been using AVG free for about 10 years I guess and, like I said, AVG has caught several viruses and I've never once had a crash or lost anything in all these years due to viruses, and I've turned all my friends and family onto AVG free & they've never had any issues with viruses, so I have to say that I'm extremely happy with it, especially considering it's free... Doesn't get any better than that! ;)
It sounds like a setting in your Norton firewall.

Tired all the time and sleepy during the day even after an eight hour nights rest. Does anyone else
have this problem? Is it a vitamin deficiency in age 40 and over?
Absolutely, because if they are caught twice, they've probably done it
x
Maybe I caught him at a bad time or maybe he is
going through some personal problems in his life that he is carrying over into the workplace. In any event, I could not foresee a good working relationship with this individual in the future.
You are offshore and got caught.

Missed most of it but what I caught was fun!!
t
My son is only 7, so he hasn't caught on yet
that I'm not talking to him. He still says "what" all the time...lol. So, I'll look at him and say, "do you know what flagginationalization means?" Cracks him up every time.
caught off gaurd
I started with a new company about 40 days ago - I trained on one account for about three days and the was given two docs to do with really no training only a manual. I have been doing them for about 35 days. My first QA score about ten days or so after the start of these docs was 96%, my second on 5/20 was 98%. I really have not gotten any negative feed back other than some format issues which were worked out quickly. I have been meeting my TAT, proofing and covering what they asked. There has not been any complaint that has been brought to my attention that I can pinpiont. This past weekend, I got sent a whole bunch of work to help cover someone on vacation, my work was pushed back by my QA and supervisor. Needless to say my accounts were not very happy and were not told in advance. This evening I get a call from the supervisor saying that due to a call from the docs office about poor TAT and quality she was removing me from the account. I have an email this same supervisor sent me from the docs office dated June 5 saying the account was finally looking up. I asked the supervisor to pinpoint the issues but she was not able to at this time and told me to hold tight until she gets some more info. I don't know what to think. Any opinions or suggestions???
Okay, I'm caught up to the posts below
.
I have no idea about his being caught but
working from home I kept my eye peeled for the report and checked every so often. You know the time frame as far as dictating- what 24 hours? This was 8 months later. If he did to me, well you know the rest. Like I said, he personally called me from another sister hospital 2 times and very incensed that I would even approach mediation at the hospital. Of course when I took my story there along with the documentation, he refused to comment on it, denying all. I at that time could not afford to lose my job so I could not press on with it. Called several attorneys and each one said no one would be on my side being as this was an elective procedure I chose and a face lift at the same time so dead end for me.
I don't think everything is caught - like the job resumes
with addresses like Mumbai, Hawaii. Could it be a name, not a place?
Sweet. Someone caught it ;-)
All is write with the world now.
Seriously, though, can we let the poor woman vent without picking on her grammar?
Thank goodness you caught it and not QA
 thanks for the chuckle
