Clinton is intelligent??? If he was intelligent he wouldn't have gotten caught!
eeeeeeeeew
If you can't think of anything intelligent to say
Please don't say anything at all.
Very well said, Intelligent MT
That kind of post didn't do a thing for the original poster except to reinforce what she was feeling at that time. She might be one of the Intelligent MTs who made one STUPID mistake and received a ranting email from her editor. Add that to a bad day in general and that just might be the final straw. I noticed that she didn't rant and rave about THE editor or editors in GENERAL. I think she was just blowing off steam, I didn't hear any whining. I know the GOOD editors work hard for their GOOD MTs and even cover their backside on occasion. Then there are those editors who think they are much smarter than any MT and they want to let the MTs know they are the "boss." I don't think that kind last very long, the Intelligent MTs will get 'em every time.
Cute but not really intelligent
anyway, I have to work 2nd and 3rd shift because all the MTs are busy crying and complaining on this forum instead of doing the work they are supposed to do. Oh boo hoo, I have work oh boo hoo I ACTUALLY have to sit and type. They expect me to actually WORK for the money they give me. BOOO HOOOOOOOOOO. By the way, at least I HAVE a personality.
That is very intelligent. Makes...
PERFECT sense!
I was asking for intelligent answers....
as to what others do and are expected to do. I am not expected to work, in fact am the age if I wanted to could retire instead of having to scrape and beg for what most of the companies are paying now days. Like I said in the beginning, I have absolutely no problem. I am way past the time of having to worry about where the next check is coming from....Working now because I want to, not because I have to. Thanks and Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you.
You got intelligent answer as to what other ICs do.

I think average MT is intelligent
And we are not now being paid for what we have in our little heads, along with the common sense decisions we have to make on a daily basis.
On the other hand, I am so ANNOYED with these people in so called Govt positions, insurance positions, etc. that we have to deal with, no matter where or what situation in my life, I feel they are being paid more than myself and are really not intelligent. I have to constantly correct, especially situations after I have gone to a doctor and my insurance company or billing screws up, and we know how long that takes getting tied up in the voice recognition of the insurance companies, etc.
Anyhow today, called a Govt office that asked for donations over the holiday of unused cell phones to send in to recieve $5 a piece for recycling. Once she finally answered her phone at 9:22 a.m., yes they are still collecting. I was asking exactly where she was located. She told me. Then I asked on the north or south side of street, and she said it depends on which way you are coming from. NOT, I said, excuse me, but north and south do not change. She was dumbfounded. Just a moment of silence, and changed her answer to right or left. In her position in this company if can bet she is probably being paid somewhere bettween 40K and 50K. Go figure. This is just one example of many unintelligent people making more than myself and that burns my big butt.
I swear for some jobs you have to take a stupid test and pass to be hired.
Not looking forward to job hunting. 
Yah it proves how HIGHLY intelligent she is.
was for adults? You go girl? What are you 17? Sounds like something my daughter says.
This intelligent MT sees you for what you are, a jerk.
Wow, what an attitude you have. I wonder what you were like as an MT? Mean? Sniping? Backstabbing? Intelligent MTs do appreciate their QA people. Intelligent QA people don't go off like bottle rockets in public like you have. You need the attitude adjustment, not the MT.
Couldn't think of anything intelligent to say, so you edit?
What a dimwit!
Not only is he gorgeous, but eccentric, intelligent, and seems non "Hollywood"
Okay, I need a really astounding, intelligent remark for a quick

Yes, and Elisabeth was incapable of an intelligent response. sm
All she could muster was a flustered "don't honey me!" Brilliant, that Elisabeth.
Oh, that explains your open-minded, intelligent demeanor
Maybe this is a better site for you
trailertips.com
You were just snotty, rude, and added nothing intelligent to the thread.

for 'Seeking intelligent life': Are you frustrated and unsatisfied?
Looking in vain for intelligence in your brain?
Honestly that is the most intelligent thing I've heard from an MT co. in a long time. Completely
You have to be able to retain knowledge.
You have to know how to reserach effectively.
You have to be able to use deductive reasoning.
You have to have confidence in your decisions and not constantly "need assurance."
You have to be able to separate sounds in your head that are both internal and from multiple external forces.
Some of these can be taught, some are innate, some take years to develop, some either you got it or you don't.
was that helpful? sm
what was the point in going off like that? She simply asked a question. It's been a long week, huh? 
Helpful QA
One of my QA people is very personable. She signs her name and adds helpful tips which have helped a lot. When I get snappy comments unsigned, I know its the other QA. Know your business. Don't overdo the punctuation. Concentrate on the medical report and its content. Nothing makes me madder than someone correcting what I know is right, especially if it is medical content that I know to be right. I've gotten QA back so picky that I didn't even want to start work on my shift because they were SOOOOO picky, example breast-feed changed to breast feed and ; where a , works as good, etc. and send examples if you know someone is gonna need them! Bottom line to me... friendly, patient and helpful.. IMO
Helpful
Just wanted to say, as a newbie, how wonderful this site is. It is really helpful and thanks to the person who gave me the tip on how to break into the entry level MT position. 
hopefully somewhat helpful
I work full time for a company in NJ, so I cannot answer as an MTSO. I live in Santa Clara, CA, which is in the South Bay and I notice ads for MTs will offer $19-$20 an hour whereas in the Sacramento area I have seen ads where they are only paying around $14.
This is VERY helpful!
This is also very interesting...Gives me a lot to think about! THANKS A MILLION!
You all have been so helpful!!
Thank you so much. I have learned a lot from all of you, and I have plenty of ideas to try out. I also got some great tips about the nickel allergy, which is wonderful as well. That one has been around for a long time.
I will be making an appointment to take him to see a dermatologist, but in the mean time, I will be trying out some of these things and see what happens.
THANKS TO YOU ALL
Very Helpful
I believe I was one of the ones you helped. Thank you very much for the general information you gave me. I really appreciate it.
Thanks to both of you. Very helpful. (nm)

Thank you all! Very helpful. It seems there are sm
downsides to being paid by line and by minute. I am hoping I do better paid by the minute, only time will tell though.
What I think would be helpful is
taking some classes in terminology. Like I said, I thought it would be a breeze. Yeh, right. What kind of work are you going to be doing, all 4s or speciality group? How many doctors will you be working for. Sometimes, and I am sure other MTs will agree on this, your English speaking doctors are about as bad as your ESL physicians. How fast do you type? Working for an agency, they can throw you (perhaps) into a group of dictators different each day, the money dwindles if you don’t know them. What kind of training will you get with the agency? I was just saying it is a lot of money to invest in and it is not that easy. A lot of the people on this chat board talk about possibly finding something else to do. I also had terminology class but then having that and actually typing the reports are a whole lot different. I consider the operative notes the easiest by the way, they are my favorite but I also have to type other things as well. Do you have any experience with listing lab reports, x-ray, medication dosages- would you be able to question and look up if you thought a dictator said 500 mg of Ativan when maybe it should be 5 that was typed. You need some knowledge about a variety of things in transcribing because I, and probably others, have to meet a strict accountability for our work - mine is 98% accuracy, not just type and make the money.
Very helpful, thank you all very much....but.....
I need very wide margins for the header, but if I change the margins for the body of the letter, it also changes the header. How can you get separate margins for the header and the body of the letter?
Thanks again!
That's helpful, thank you...sm..
I didn't know the search key would pull up the desktop search. Did you know Microsoft has a free update for their desktop search function? It's nicer than the original, way faster with more features. Not as many features as some others but it's fast and you can pull it up with one click, even though it pulls up the whole program instead of just the document.
Thanks so much! VERY helpful!
Thanks for taking the time to post these. Looks they will be very helpful as I am just beginning to do some oncology transcription. Thanks again!
Thanks so much...most helpful

That is quite helpful, thank you.
I was thinking a month or more, a week or two fits my budget mudh better.
Very helpful....
Thanks so much for responding. I am still a little nervous but will give it a try. It helps so much to know they will get my money back if the sell does not go well.
Thanks.:)
Well, that was helpful. NOT.

That's helpful to know. Thanks so much!! nm

thanks for being helpful
some people dont like to give leads to others for fear of having competition, so it is really nice of you to offer up these websites. I did a search for MT jobs and random sites will come up, and i NEVER know what is legit or not you know.
Thank you
thank you both, very helpful ;)
;)
This is very helpful...
Thank you again - I'm going to experiment with all of it. It's good to know there may be hope for me and those bills yet!! :o)
Thanks for the helpful info. sm
I've never had this problem before, so I'm uninformed. It happened last night, so I have to wait to see plastic surgeon Monday and talk to home office then as well.
Thanks.
Extremely helpful - thank you!!! nm

You are so wonderful and helpful
I originally mailed my resumes. I was instructed to do this from the course I took. When I started online job searching I ran into websites with job boards and began e-mailing. I check alot of job boards on a daily basis.
It's also helpful for another reason
If you have more than one item, you can offer the same thing to other bidders if you like, although if you have two listings available on the auction, you can't do this.
All of this information is so helpful!
.
You all have been SO helpful. Thank you for the responses! (sm)
I just needed to know if I was out of line or what, and you all have given me excellent feedback and suggestions. Thanks so much, I appreciate your time!
you can actually make some changes on your end that are helpful - sm
Go to start, programs, accessories - click on accessibility. You can set your computer for the visually impaired and make everythign larger, not just the font. I have found this very useful as my eyesight has gone from bad to poor over the years.
