Yoko Ono wears designer clothes and shows up at all the fashion shows. Phony.

Is there engineer week? Astronaut week? Veterinarian week?

I think that is simply fabulous
I am jewish, so I try to find a job that I am capable of doing and volunteer to work for them on Christmas Day
Speak for yourself. I have fabulous conditions
with my present employer and have had the entire 3 years I've been there.

Conditions are NOT deplorable for all MTs -- only when you accept those conditions are they present.

While we don't need to assume responsibility for turnover costs, it's no wonder companies don't want to give some the time of day. They want MTs who have a proven track record of dedicated length of service, production, and quality and who are interested in doing that again.

It DOES cost to hire -- and that does NOT mean necessarily the actual training of an experienced MT but includes HR personnal to interview/process you, the time others have to cover while you learn your accounts, etc.

If you're a responsible person at all, you'd have a better attitude than the one you just posted.
Fantasia was fabulous compared to others...nm

This is a FABULOUS attitude for a newbie:)
You will be a wonderful, high-quality, high-producing Transcriptionist one day. I mean that...you have the attitude and work ethic to take you far in this field (or any for that matter). Kudos to you:-)
Leslie's WATP videos are fabulous (sm)
I use these and when I do them faithfully...WOW! What a difference in that tummy fat and overall toning is incredibly fast! Yoga is also a gentle and wonderful way to tone up, destress, and get in touch with your body/mind self. Good luck!!
Trailer Fabulous is on MTV tonight at 10 where they makeover trailers.
A glimpse into the real trailer parkers. Really they makeover real trailers for real trailer park residents.
I think Chris is fabulous as long as I like the song he sing, LOL
The Queen one tonight was over the line for me, though I'm sure he did it well for those who enjoy a song like that.
Paula Deen is fabulous! I love her recipes and
the way she ooohs and ahhhs when she takes a bite of one of her dishes.  Makes you just wish YOU were the one taking that bite!  See the HomeTalkCafe cooking forum for some fun.  http://www.hometalkcafe.com or click the link below.
Fabulous! Enjoy your children and a great new weekend w/o stress! nm

I had a fabulous weekend starting with dinner on Friday night..sm
My birthday was Saturday so I didnt lift a finger the whole weekend. My husband and three daughters took care of me all weekend! I didnt have to cook, clean or chase after any kids. Also, hubby got me the new stove, frige, and dishwasher that I have been wishing for forevery now! Havent had new appliances in years and years and years!! Couldnt have asked for a better weekend!
Since you are new, just wait. Newbies have to wait. sm
Just because you said a "doctor's office" that narrows it down.  No national work for private doctor's offices.  It is all acute care.  Just wait.  They will let you know how you are doing.
Typically this week is a slow week in lots of places

because it is a big vacation week.  Typically things slow dow a bit in the summer too because people are putting off elective surgery, but at the same time lots of people going on vacation so it should balance out.   


 


 


Lowest runs $900 week, highest $1400 week (sm)
Get paid 12 CPL. Been doing transcription for about 12 years.
I work 6 days a week every other week

Due to my company's payroll (it runs Sun-Sat), I'm able to work a rotating schedule with every other weekend off. Week 1 I work Sunday through Thursday with Fri, Sat, Sun off.  Week 2 I work Monday through Friday with Saturday only off.  Then I'm back to week 1 and get that following weekend off.


I've found that I'm more productive with shorter shifts and I have kids in school anyway, so I work a lot of split shifts during the week.  If possible, you might want to consider cutting back your hours to 30 hours and just work five 6-hour days in split shifts, 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening. 


I can't see where that shows that at all....
xx
Boy that shows you what I know
I though it was only the MALES that sprayed.
shows
Desperate Housewives, Boston Legal, Lost, Alias, Medium, The Amazing Race.  I'm with you will really miss Judging Amy, American Dreams and Joan of Arcadia.  The new Ghost Whisper looks like it might be good.
Yes it does because it shows us where you are,
x
It will be new shows. DH saw a
commercial about it a couple of weeks ago.  I couldn't figure out the show this past Sunday.  I only saw a little bit, but I didn't remember some of the events.  Can't wait for it to start back.  That is the only TV program I watch during the week. 
No I don't like any of those shows or that
dumb Maury Povich. I am sick of all of these paternity tests and all of that screaming, cursing and violence.

This isn't entertainment nor does it represent most of our country.
Shows

I tried to get tickets to O but they were sold out.  Thank you all for your suggestions. 


I usually do not like reality shows, but this one I
have to see. I love that show!! I do feel sorry for the wannabe chefs dealing with Chef. I gotta say I am watching tonight, the finale!!
Fall TV shows
I love to watch House. It comes on the Fox channel. It was on Tuesday's last season. Not sure yet when it will be on coming up on the new season.
Junk shows.
Sad commentary, but they try to please the majority of viewers. Glad to hear I'm not the only one offended.
AAMT BOS shows 250,000, as does
x
Talk shows

I thought about it as I do quite a bit of transcribing different types of seminars but when I saw what they charge people for a transcription of the show I thought boy they must not pay much as it does not cost much to get a transcription of a show, less than $20.  So they must have some type of automated transcription as for a 8 hour seminar I get anywhere from $500 to $750 and for a three day seminar I get close to $2000.  Per line charge.  But is frustrating to do sometimes as the audio is not the greatest at time.


But that was my thoughts on the subject.


Maybe if they shows some respect
There are plenty of good MTs out there who are constantly getting robbed by the poor pitful management people you are defending. They ship our work overseas, leaving me without work which takes money out of my hands. They force us to take on bad accounts that they committed to and have to lie about because they are so bad (bait and switch) and I can't get my lines strictly because of poor management, unsympathetic management, unprofessional management. I would love to stay with the same company, but I'm forced to leave because I have bills to pay and management does not give a xxxxx about that.
They put this on and took off good shows like (sm)
Joan of Arcadia, they also took off Point Pleasant for those of us pulling for the good in Christina. Shows over good and evil have been going on like forever... Hello people. But Book of Daniel just deals with life today in a cynical way. Joan of Arcadia said something.
When will the reality shows end?? and...
Who keeps paying for them? Come on America!! How about quality not quantity? Shameful, I think.
When they have bad/boring shows
it seems like there are new bottom 3 people chosen.  I thought Mandisa had a good voice, but country was not her best (as the case for many of them).  Also, poor song choice.  Next week they sing Queen songs.  I've been recording the shows because they're just not as good as they have been.  I think Paula needs to cut down on her medication.  She's beginning to slurrrrrr her words again.
favorite tv shows

  1. The Office

  2. Oprah

  3. Dr. Phil

  4. Ellen (Loooove Ellen!)

  5. Will & Grace

  6. AI

  7. Sopranos

  8. Dateline

Not a bad try. After all, loads of shows on air saying you can become
xx
Wow - how disgusting is right. Sure shows you
It's right up there on the Sickening Scale with that video someone posted a while back of "trainers" teaching companies how to bypass American workers' job applications, so they can then justify their outsourcing by saying there "aren't enough American workers".
There sure aren't - not when you kick all their applications under the rug or into the round file!
We need to lobby for laws in this country that will put a heavy tax on companies who outsource American livelihoods to other countries. We might as well put "For Sale" signs on our beaches, farmland, and national parks, because that's what'll be coming next.
Angelina seems like a man stealer, she just shows up

home.  She doesnt seem to have a personality either.  Oh well, when you're that gorgeous who needs a personality?  As far as men aging well, I think Al Pacino looks better now than he did back when he first came out.  He had those bags under his eyes, maybe he's gotten plastic surgery.  Other bad agers:  John Travolta (he looks like he ate the old John Travolta from Saturday night fever) and Nicolas Cage, an old crush of mine, awesome actor but seeming a bit hairless and bloated these days.


Anyone have any fall TV shows you are looking forward to?

Two of my favories: Judging Amy and American Dreams, have both been cancelled. I'm down to ER now - can anybody point me at something that I should be watching? No HBO at our house, just regular satellite programming, broadcast channels. I started to get into Everwood last spring....


I just do not understand those reality shows.
It's so annoying to watch them.  I did briefly see the guys puking all over while the women cared for them, then I turned off the TV.  Really, do we need to see vomit?  That's not entertaining.  It's amazing the stupid things people will do just to get on TV.  And all the squabbling within the teams.  It's all garbage nowadays.  Nothing is family friendly or entertaining any more.
Ah, so the IRS has changed it. Shows you how long it's been
since I've paid anybody to do anything for me. LOL
The eScription website shows (sm)
a supervisor screen where that information is displayed. It also shows how much time you spent editing and how much time you spent typing. This is calculated by the week. Are you actually making any money editing VR on a line rate?
New Adventures of Old Christine one of the best new shows, I think
nm
No but I will look for the next episode. Love shows
nm
shows you how observant I am sometimes. sheesh.
thanks for letting me know.
This shows my computer illiteracy! sm
I was not aware that ability was there and did not have it set up. One of the people I spoke to yesterday asked me about that and it is something that I need to get set up -- but for this time, that won't help.
Whatever shows up on my screen. The work sm
is pooled by turnaround time.
Yes, because you do the jobs and they get sent off as soon as you spellcheck and the next one shows
