at least Sears does. I'd look into it if I were you. I think the price would be worth it in the long run. We are in the boonies, and had trouble with our tractor (bought at Sears) and they came here and fixed it. We could have loaded it up on our trailer and taken it into town, but they came to us. As for attaching the trailer to the truck, do it when it is empty first of all, much, much easier, this way you can shift the trailer about by hand if necessary, hard to do but very possible, impossible to do if loaded though. I haul our trailer (small one 8 x 10) on occasion, and a 17 foot boat now and then, and have attached both loaded and unloaded. Still no good at backing up, but I am learning. ----I am planning a trip to the Nick Hotel too, Summer 2007 or 2008, saving up for it first, then will figure out when we are going!

Not an MT's job to make those kind of calls...
in the first place. You're contributing behind closed doors. I would find another job.
I definitely feel like we are dealing with the same person! I think I need to make some phone calls
and put a stop to her! I cannot stand the idea that she is out there still scamming people like she scammed me!
Happens all the time. Make phone calls for more definite action. nm

My nurse said most patients make calls with their cell, no problem

I agree. The silly phone calls just make the worries worse, if

He calls me daily whining that he doesn't have any money. Then calls me names when I
a check. He hasn't looked for a job, hasn't even read the want ads, I'm sure. He told me he realizes he can't live without me. My paycheck is what he can't live without! I feel so humiliated and angry sometimes that I put up with him for as long as I did! 
In our house, we're all allowed to make suggestions. sm
and a lot of the time we do the shopping together. We try to make sure that the majority of us like something before we decide on it for dinner. And we're always trying new things and have found many new favorites that way. However, if there's something we're planning on having that one of us doesn't like, I'll make a simple alternative to it (like maybe fish, etc.)
I certainly can't criticize the kids for not liking everything we like, or tell them to go without if they don't like it, because half of the time it's ME who doesn't like the planned dinner. For example, they all love steak and I can't stand red meat.
We try to include enough of a variety so that everyone's happy. If one person isn't crazy about the main dish, then more than likely they're going to eat more salad and veggies or maybe a sandwich with it. It all works out. :)
No you are not! I'm a single mom and I'm trying to make a house payment, pay utilities.... SM
buy groceries, and provide for my two kids all on one paycheck. I recently got a job doing QA and getting paid per hour and that has helped me tremendously, but I know how it is to scrape by on 8 cpl, low line counts due to a number of factors that work against us (high ESL accounts, technical difficulties, and interruptions). It isn't worth shelling out $300 for certification when you get very little in return not to mention the $300 could be better spent on clothes for the kids or to pay the electric bill or to buy groceries, etc.
We should be treated better than slave labor! It's ridiculous and very discouraging to say the least. Hang in there! I've been studying coding on my own and I'm about confident enough to take the CCS exam. After that, I may move on to RHIT, but that means back into the office. So we'll see.

I don't know about you, but I've got kids to feed, clothe, and house. I need to make a decent
living. I'm not going to be cheated. It sounds as though you've decided to let yourself be used and abused aby the MTSOs all with a big smile on your face. Whatever! It's MTs like you, not I, that have caused the pay rates to decline. MTs like you who will accept whatever abuse they companies hand out, accept being cheated, and accept losing jobs to India.
You'll be back on here next week or next month posting under a different name, crying about your paycheck and looking for sympathy.
I have gotten a few calls - sm
I actually have not minded that I have not taken a job with the ones that I have called, but one person did ask me for my opinion on what I liked about the companies I have worked for and what I didn't like and what exactly would be the ideal home position. I liked that she took the time to listen and took notes. Although we both felt I would not be a fit for their company (hours and work schedule weren't good for me) I actually enjoyed sharing and hearing her feedback.
The Q calls it ASR too.

urgent calls
That would work, with the cell phone. I have my house phone line and the extra phone line for work only. The company I work for has toll-free access, so I don't need toll call or long distance service, and it runs less than $20 a month.
I also like having caller ID so I can also see who it is, and the answering machine so I can hear why they are calling. If it's urgent or important, I take the call. Otherwise, I don't answer it. You wouldn't believe how much productivity it eats to answer the phone every time it rings.
I believe they know the pay is so low they wouldn't get any calls.

ROBBED at least once. Some calls
Especially the "TD" where his knees, shoulder, elbow, hand and ball hit outside the line and then he scooted it in w/ a wide-eyed guilty look. And, Hawks would have done better if Stevens could catch.
Sweet reverse play by Steelers though and long run by Parker.
And very cute commercial w/ the Budweiser colt.
calls from India
Have received three phone calls from India...I can tell by the accent (I transcribe a lot of Indian doctors). The first two calls were just stuttering around, wanting my name, etc. The last one was Sunday night at 9:00 p.m., woke me up. I was furious and asked him if he knew what time it was. He said he had no idea, but started with that "your name please", etc. I yelled "don't ever call this number again", and I hung up. I have passed this around at work, and some people are getting calls from India...I think they get us off the computer some way. Anybody else having this happen?
calls from India
I wonder if they are trying to recruit? They make me so mad...the last time he said "your name please" I told him it was none of his freaking business!
harrasing phone calls
my local phone company as most do, has a harrasement dept. you set it up that each and every time you get a call, you hit a certain numbe of keys and it "logs" the calls. After 5 such calls, you then report it to the police dept, they get the records and can go after the creeps! You never know the number, but the police will let you know who the offenders are. My sis had to use it because of an ex boyfriend of my nieces...his mother lost ALL phone service for a year!
wish you had it, it worked great to stop the 2am calls.
get rid of any man who calls your children names!
Let alone call you names in front of them. He sounds like a true control freak and slob to boot. Your 16yo needs to NOT be exposed to this kind of behavior from a man...she'll end up getting into relationships thinking this is "the way I grew up" mode.
Keep your faith and get out and into living your own life for you and your own children.
Her hinchman calls and tries to convince you that she really does not mean it.
Or she will call repeatedly and half way apologize. She is really a sorry creature in every way. Can't call her a human because she definitely is not that at all. I really can't say that I ever saw her after lunch when she was truly sober. Beer for breakfast is the norm.
random calls/drop ins
People just do not understand. I have just had to be rude without apology. I have had so many people call and even though I don't answer still drop by. I have to say that if I am too busy to answer phone then I am also too busy to go to the door. I have had them stand on the door step ringing the bell and calling my phone. More than once I have answered the phone to someone saying they were at my door. I say, "Oh, is that you ringing my bell? Sorry but I am working". They do not like it but neither do appreciate the disrespect. My friends have just learned to laugh it off. I stick to my guns, even with my family No work, no pay, is what I say.
Simon calls that the X factor....

I only know one company who calls it ASR, and that is Webmedx

I made calls when i moved here from OH
I was told I did not. I asked a few sources because I am NOT running a company and do not need a DBA. I guess that may change if someone files a complaint, but I am not going to do it if I don't have to.
Court battle over Internet Calls
http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/internet/10/26/internet.calls.wiretap.ap/index.html
For those MTs like myself who access their work over the Internet, would this consist of violating the HIPAA laws?
I remember 5 cent pay phone calls. nm
:+
what a joke...someone calls you on your irresponsible comment, and all you can do is
comment on their grammer. At least come up with an argument in favor of your original post........or can you?
I just forward my calls to my cell and answer that way...
if important. Or I can just get the call on the computer through my email.
calls to mind the anal wink... LOL.

Did you read post? She has contract that calls
x
I think the only reason she wants calls is so nothing she says can be documented in writing.
no msg
LOL! My sister calls that visual tuneout
Thank you for NOT noticing! I probably should've kept my mouth shut :/
Yup, and hate regular phone calls like that, too. Grrr....nm

Hmm, I've gotten several calls from "out of area" on my caller ID....SM
over the last couple weeks. I don't answer them, and the caller never leaves a message. The calls can come during the day or early evening.
I wonder if it could be MQ....
Certainly, I applied to that ad, and received 2 phone calls back.
I had no knowledge of them either. So, I asked if they are US based and what their plan entails. He told me they have a base in the Philippines and plan to send all of the transcription overseas. If I had a problem with that to tell him now. Of course, as candid as I am, I told I absolutely have a HUGE problem with that. I also told him that I am not the candidate for him!
What led me to believe it was an overseas operation was that I put that phone number in reverse look up and an Indian name came up, not the "American Name" that was listed. So, that was a huge red flag. I outright asked him what is his "real name".
When your family calls you wanting medical advice.
It is helpdesk work, not telemarketing. Only incoming calls.
I wish they'd hurry up and talk $$ so I can compare versus MT.
I'd setup IM or similar instead of making phone calls. It
seems like the company is very disorganized. I personally would not make any phone calls that I am not reimbursed for.
It's no more 6/6/6 than june 6 1996 was. Nobody otherwise calls the year only by the last digit.

my company pays downtime for conf calls...
If you have a cell phone, why not use that for your LD calls and CX the LD on the land line?

I transfer my calls to cell phone during work. nm

ask if there is a charge for local calls. I have had this happen a couple of times. I take an egg

No, they're talking about Internet phone calls, not FTP transfers.
The physicians aren't actually calling you over the Internet to dictate. You're downloading sound files and uploading documents.
What is the longest you have gone without service? Do they return phone calls promptly?
TIA
Interesting. I find it kind of obnoxious when poster calls others fools.
Then the OP goes on to say others are "negative"????? Do you find it offensive someone calls you a fool or you are acting foolish when you complain or joke about your work/manager/company? When posters respond, they are unpleasantly surprised that this would produce negativity against the OP?
When the company asked me to start making long distance phone calls,
they offered to pay my long distance for the charges. I then got a cheap long distance plan to make the charges for them more reasonable.
You need to JUST SAY NO to making long distance calls for them. If they will pay for it then do it, otherwise no way.
PLEASE see my question regarding daily interruptions, phone calls, drop in guests/COMPANY BOARD
You spending 3K in gasoline to make 4K plus all that time on the road?That doesn't make sense Pat
How nice that the world revolves around what you make and no one else could possibly make more. sm
Marla in So. California pays 11 cpl for a 55 ccl, Oracle pays 9-1/2 cpl, MDI-MD 11 cpl, JLG 10 cpl for gross line, etc.
Of course, these are rates negotiated and paid to qualified MTs.
Got cut off. Autodialing is what ATT calls it . In fine print vonage says no autodialing. nm
