However, I have 3 small children at home and I don't work very many hours. I only work about 5 hours a day 4 days a week. I need to be there to raise my kids. My goal is to make a lot more once they are all in school all day.
Point is though, I didnt go to school!

Heck, I did not say not to wish her a happy birthday! She deserves a happy birthday.
I was just saying her birthday was on Sunday!! :) Why does everyone always want to read something negative into everything on this board. I certainly did not mean anything negative by it! I was just makin' it known WHEN her birthday was!!

Saw him on CMT show with John Fogarty. Great, great singer with a neat personality and drop dead
gorgeous without seeming to know it.
Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
Thanks to all. Got some great feedback and ecouragement. This board is great.
My rant passed, ate a late lunch, now back to the trenches.
GREAT GREAT SHOW! I still think Ellen Pompeo
should have gotten the Emmy/Golden Globe whatever it was for the show. I like Sandra Ho, her character just needs more depth... Next week looks AWESOME!! Maybe there is still a chance for McDreamy!! First season DVD coming out with deleted scenes! Can't wait to get it & watch it!!
It is a GREAT company and great deal! I've had
Vonage about 6 months now and I love it. The only mistake I made was trying to keep my original phone # - I wouldn't recommend that. You have a temp # for a while, and the other provider can fight for the old #, etc. Go to vonage. com. They have new features all the time! There is even a new soft phone that is a phone on your screen. You don't need a real phone when working - just headset. It has 800 #s you can have very inexpensively - great voice mail. You get emails when you have new messages, etc. I only wish I had used them a year ago! Nothing but good things to say, and I complain about everything! 
Sounds like he will do great then. Again, best wishes for great success!

That's great Patti. Thanks. Have a great time at the beach.

You should feel great as a transcriptionist if they think your work is that great!!!
It is not your fault they approached you. I think it would be a different storey if you were the one searching for the job to take away from a company. They obviously want to get rid of the company and if you didn't take the job they would probably ask someone else. You should enjoy the better position and not feel guilty!!
Great post -great job of wording your answer! (sm)
Original poster - I completely agree with this answer, especially the part about finding yourself and using all that you have learned intellectually and connecting that to something that you will also enjoy with your heart!! You have so many wonderful options for your future - much more than many of us.
IT - great program, great support system. nm

To Happy MT
I am happy at MDI just wish they would send a little more love our way. I switch to different accounts when they are short and work many weekends and if I am correct I have worked most of the holidays. I get a phone call or email last minute that they need coverage and I do not say no. I start early and finish late. I have talked to others in the same boat and they are sad. . I know they merged with Transend and it takes time to get things in order but when it seems that some get the bonuses and some of us are overlooked it does not seem right. I think they need to look at everyone in the same light and do the right thing.
Is anyone happy with MQ?
???
Happy now!
23 the first time (then-husband got the 7-year-itch). 34 second time. I had two miscarriages the first time around. This marriage - We have two great little boys!!
I am very happy nm

Happy so far
Hi, I have only been with MQ for 7 months, but I have friends that have been with MQ and have tried other companies, and the consensus is...their new system DQS (DocQscribe) is VERY user friendly compared to other company's systems. AND, as far as WE are concerned, MQ is very flexible time-wise. But I have read other posts that maybe new hires are more chained to a set schedule. My friends and I are out of 2 offices that seem to be very lenient as to scheduling. Personally, I work more hours than I signed up for. But, if MQ were to call when I am away from my computer, (bathroom), like a poster below stated about a different company, I would be VERY aggravated, especially since I am post-colectomy with less than satisfactory results!!! (If you get my drift.)
Be Happy about it
My 20-year-old son suffers every day from injuries he received during his high school football career. He has had broken bones, dislocated shoulders, and he has to wear a mouth brace due to jaw injuries. The medication he takes for his jaw has caused a stomach ulcer, which along with the pain from the jaw, caused his blood pressure to elevated. He said more times than I could count, "I wish I had not played football." Support his decision and be happy that he is not out there getting all banged up.
Happy here
Look, most people who are happy with a company don't just get on a message board to say, "I had a great day at work today," or "I think I make a decent wage and I'm happy with it." They get on to complain or ask questions or just to surf and see what others are talking about. The people who are complaining are loud and you hear them a lot. MQ seems to have more MTs who have been with them for 5+ years than any other company. That should tell you something right there.
Happy MQ MT
I wonder about the people that are so unhappy about MQ. Where did they work before? Was it inhouse? Did they come there direct from a school. What is it that makes the difference of some people being happy and others very disappointed. Why do some have an abundance of work and others have none? Is it the quality of work being done?
I am happy!
I am happy working at MQ. I come to this site usually for a good laugh, and sometimes I do post. I don't flame the people that complain all the time, I just wonder why they do?!?!?!
We should start a poll - Are you happy with MQ or aren't you - no big explanations - just a YES OR A NO. My answer is YES!
happy
I am happy with MQ!! I think the people who are happy with MQ (and I think there are a lot) just don't take the time to say so...so today I am!!
I USED to be happy but......
I haven't had a decent line count in almost a week and it has been 6 months since I had a second phone line installed and I have yet to see a single dime in reimbursement that I was told I would receive. Why do I stay? Because this is my first MT job and I've only been there a year. Who else will hire me at this point?
I am happy!!!

I'm happy!

I am sure that they are happy to have me
as an employee considering I am one of the only few who actually likes working for them. I am a high producer for them, as well. There would be no reason Medquist wouldn't be proud to have me as an employee. They need to get rid of the big fat losers like you.
How happy are you??
Are you not the same ER who was on here last week trashing the Amherst office?
I'm happy for you!
I, on the other hand, had my children in my mid to late 30's. I'm 45 and have a 12 and 5 year old. At 50, I'll have a teenager and another one who will be right behind him. There is definitely something to be said for having your kids when you are younger, not to say I am not enjoying mine - I'll be pretty old when they are on their own. 
I'm happy for you
Since your employer was confident in giving you more work, then I guess you have been doing the right thing this past year. Just keep it up and stretch those shoulders every now and then =).
Then I am happy for ya!
Glad you did something about it!
Very happy at OSi...
I am happy! (sm)
OSi is like a breath of fresh air (to me that is)! They have always taken care of me as a transcriptionist.
There are negative posts on the boards from less than mature transcriptionists who are trying to make a good company look bad. An opinion is fine, but some of them have gone past the line, and so, you have to look a little farther than the posts you see even the positive ones. With that, if you read about the company on their website and you feel it fits your life, then go for it, no matter which company. I worked for Medquist for 2 years and I didn't like the experience I had, but that doesn't mean the next person has the same experience.
Transcription is a God send to me and if the company I work for don't fit me, I find one that does. Each to their own.
AND A HAPPY ONE...
to you and yours!
Happy X-Mas (War is Over if U want it)!
:)
Let's be happy, come on who's happy with me !!!??? (sm)
Let me tell ya something, we gotta get cheery around here. Who's company makes them happy !?!?!
I am happy you are going well (sm)
but I only ask for 12 cents and I don't feel I am asking too much for the area I am in. I would even negotiate to 11, but no lower. It is a pretty good deal for them, but maybe they'd rather use India! If I wanted to hire someone, I could not go lower than 11. I think this area has had a lot of soliciting because it pays a little higher. Houses around here are $700,000 and who the he** can afford to work for less than 11 cents per line.
So make an extra $1000 for me! 
I'm happy at DR
Can't comment on working for DR as employee, but it is the same management/QA. I work on only one account, if you work for DR directly I think you may work on more than one.
Pay is average, but I am making lots of lines and $$ due to a platform I like (Word superimposed on their platform) and fair incentive. My benefits through the hospital are excellent and very affordable (main reason for taking this position) with generous time off, etc.
They do pay downtime, which is a plus if there is no work. There are a lot of negative posts lately about them, but I have no particular complaints.
I'm happy at OTI. nm

Happy with them
I'm sorry you're having so much frustration with them. How long have you worked there?
So happy for you
I won't say there won't be rough spots, but you're on the right road. The very best of luck to you and your kiddos. I've been in your shoes, and sometimes (when the bad times come) you wonder why you didn't stay, THEN you remember ... either you have to see/talk with him or something.
You and your kids are worth the best life has to offer. Good luck!!!
Happy MT to you, too, and to everyone
:-)
I'm so happy for him and you
