In Reply to: I have copied and pasted from IRS - More IC info

looking into more IRS laws. This is VERY interesting as the company I work for does not pay my taxes but dictates hours, etc. They also have violated HIPAA regulations and I will be inquiring as to what actions can be taken there.

Thanks for enlightening me.

I have an opening...sm
email me with your pasted resume and we'll talk.

I saw a job opening for mt at
a women's state prison in California. They didn't require that much experience, pay and benefits were excellent. It was too far from where I lived and I didn't know if I would like the environment.

Wow! This is eye-opening

You two have really given me some thought-provoking info.

I had no idea it was this bad. That is a hellish training period for such a pathetic salary. Exactly the opposite of what I've been reading. The websites I read from truly did quote up to $40. per hour, computer equipment given to you and a growing field, not shrinking!

Yes, I do work for slave wages, but I have a mortgage to pay and student loans and I am a single woman so I have to find something. Maybe a paper route . . .

Thanks for the info!

They might be having an opening soon.

I am opening up a transcription (sm)
business myself. I am fed up with the hospitals who are going voice recognition and are using a digital system for attendings, so I decided why not!! Another MT and I are do this and hopefully we will be successful. I am going in with someone on the computer end as well.

did you try opening the file?
If so, what did the instruction say? Do you have to open it with a special program? Is this a wav file? If not, what type of file is this (it will say at the end of the document/file name)?

That's an eye-opening article -
and scary, too. My MTSO was just taken over by Acusis.........

Still not opening at all for me. I emailed

Opening up Pandora's box of wine
Hey Patti, it's ok to talk about drinking and transcribing. People react strongly because it hits a raw nerve. It's a topic that is kept in the dark. I suspect many transcriptionists do and have drank at the desk. I myself have had a small glass of wine on occasion when I have been so stressed out, like when I have been given a 30-day notice that my work is going to India! Or my foreign-accented dictator yells at me for something stupid! I venture to say that perhaps more transcriptionists have a glass or two of liquor toward the end of their shift than they would care to admit. I just think you got such a response because it is a topic most transcriptionists have thought about in one way or another. I'm not saying it is ok or it is morally wrong. It does happen though.

Opening of her broadway show
It was the opening of her broadway show, The Color Purple that Letterman escorted her to. However, I dont like Oprah, never have. The fawning and oohing and ahhing was quite sickening, if you ask me.

Opening any of this person's mail

If you do any of the things you mentioned, you will have broken the law. It is against federal statutes to open someone else's mail, even if it was placed in YOUR mailbox.

Try opening the normal.dot and see if you can change it there. sm

Austin Radiological -- how did you hear about the job opening? nm

Try opening up ShortHand before log in. Works with other systems like that. nm

I think it is some of the emoticons, but maybe only the first instance of them opening or posting.

I worked in a hospital in radiology, and when an opening in MR was available SM
I applied, got the job, and that is how I got my foot in the door.

Your opening statement about our President is disrespectful.

Whether or not you like him, he is still the President and that office should be respected. Unfortunately, your statement is reflective of the mindset and mentality of many in our country. And people have to ask why the rest of the world doesn't like us--we don't even like each other.

At the very least you should be respectful of those in positions of authority. It's modeling of appropriate behavior that our children see and emulate themselves.

sorry, not in Kansas. PA is where I heard of a good job opening (near pittsburgh)

Look through the Help section in it and just start opening up all the tabs and playing

please, need help with startstop opening windows sound recorder.

When I open a file from within startstop, it wants to open windows sound recorder, and then it wants to open a file located somewhere else on my hard drive.

Sometimes it will open the file I want to listen to, and the windows sound recorder flashes on the screen a couple of times.

Is anyone having that problem? I've emailed and called startstop but no response to email and no return call from startstop tech support.

Any info you have is greatly appreciated. I'm on version 9.8.7

Definitely an eye-opening read. Having my teens read it, too. nm

Thank you. I appreciate the information ...
sounds like a way to reward those whose production and quality are at the top.

Thanks.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
but, with a much better company and I smell management. Take that and smoke it.

Perhaps this information might help:
If you would post a clear statement of the change that is happening and what its expected results will be BEFORE you make such changes, then it wouldn't be viewed so suspiciously.

rec'd no such information
and my count has been 'below production' different times and my benefits didn't change. My supe told me way back when that only if a person "consistently" didn't make production would it affect their benefits.

Where did you get your information? nm.
nm.

information
i mentioned something to my supervisor a couple of weeks ago that I "heard" that MQ was offering extra on the line rates to new hires, which upset me, and of course, her response was you can't trust what you hear or see and I know that, but it seems like what i'm seeing on this website seems to be more reliable in some respects than what i get from MQ and like you said, that's really sad. I'm not signed up for IPay so i can't check to see if there's anything there -- guess i could check my bank to see if there's more there.

For your information,
I am not at all overweight. I would really like to know why someone who is as beautiful as you say you are is a transcriptionist?

Information (SM)
If you want to know why your posts are deleted, leave a valid e-mail address. I e-mail the poster why and a copy of their deleted post.

It is not because you have "MQ" in your moniker as a name. Otherwise, take this gripe over your posts being removed to e-mail or it will be deleted.

Don't know where you got your information-
Although a CMA is definitely not a PA, I do not know anywhere you get get what you need in 4-6 weeks. I took the CMA exam after years working in a physician's office, but the programs that I know about in this area are 1-2 years.

Any information on this anyone?

My husband came home from work hearing about something called EDTA (Ethylene~Diamine~Tetra-acetic~Acid). It is suppose to break down the minerals and heavy metals out of your body and make your risk of heart disease a lot lower. Does anyone have an information on this. He would like to take it if it true because of heart disease in his family, although I am not certain he should, as I always worry about the things they don't tell you about the stuff your taking.

Any information would be great.

Thanks!!

Thanks for the information!!!

Thanks to all for the information.

Thanks for the information.

Thanks so much for the information...sm
Final question - I checked out the website that you told me about and that explains it all. One final question - do you have connection problems with this and I guess one more question, and the true final question is the quality of the voice good on the file? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

I appreciate the information. nm

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the information
Thanks to all of you for the helpful information!

Thanks for that information

That is very interesting about the files not being there at all. May be I am not getting the files downloaded correctly. Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks so much for the information!!
:)

where does that information come from?
please give links. I found nothing to substantiate that on my search

Thanks, that is quite useful information, but
you do not continue to believe that air conditioning will kill mold . . . it will not, and nowhere in the document you linked to does it even suggest that. It does provide information about air conditioning lowering the relative humidity of a home, and also that it aids in drying out wet areas (because it lowers the relative humidity).

You are not only misinformed, but also are misinforming others by posting segments of the document that are not connected in any other way than being a part of the same document.

For anyone who is interested, and perhaps does not want to go to the link or read the full text, this is what it actually says.

PREVENTING MOLD GROWTH (begins on page 2)

Page 3, paragraphs 4 and 5

Increase the air flow in problem areas. Move furniture
a few inches away from outside walls so that air
flow will decrease the problem of condensation on
the walls.

If mold is growing in closets, keep closet doors
open to promote air flow. Closets should not be overfilled,as this will reduce air circulation in the closet. Louvered closet doors aid in ventilation. Circulating fans may help with air flow in problem areas.

STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTING OR
REMOVING MOLD GROWTH AFTER CONTAMINATION (begins on page 3)

Page 4, paragraph 3

For many hard surfaces, disinfecting with a solution
of one cup of bleach to one gallon of water is effective.
The area must be kept wet with the bleach for 10 to 15
minutes to kill the mold. If the surface is porous like
wood, the bleach solution may need to be reapplied to
keep the surface wet for the required time. If large areas
of a basement need to be disinfected, a garden sprayer
can be used to apply the bleach solution to the walls. If the walls have been contaminated with sewage, increase the proportion of bleach to water.

MT Information
Hello, I am looking to start working as an MT in order to enable me to homeschool. Can you please share any tips, job openings etc?? I would really appreciate it. I am newly relocated to Lawrenceville GA from NJ. Thanks!!

Need som information..

I would like to start doing things in my own area, get my accounts, etc. I just do not know where to start. Do I type up an "introductory" letter and send them to doc offices? What kind of equipment is the easiest to do this "internet based?" I have A LOT of questions. If someone could email me, I would really appreciate it!!

Thanks

More information....SM

I don't mean a financial deduction. I'm just trying to figure out a percentage score. Here's the details.

The document is 40,178 characters.

There were two critical errors (word left out and wrong dose) and seven noncritical errors (like his instead of has, a instead of an, etc.)

How could I figure a percentage?

thank you for this information
I have been struggling with this decision and your info makes it easier for me to stick with XP. Why mess with a good thing?

Too much information
The doctor just dictated the patient became pregnant on her wedding night. Not something I really needed to know. LOL.

Where did this information come from?? nm

More information.

This program can be set to automatically download files from FTP sites or folders on the computer's hard drive; it's just that you have to do it manually, whereas some of the "more automated programs" came with these things already set up. I use ES for all transcription playback and haven't needed the pricer automation.

As with most opinions, they are subjective, but happy for the discourse.

Just for your information....
There was no lack of willingness to fill anybody in about anything. I was going to tell her everything from top to bottom about the account, what I was looking for and find out what she was looking for so as to make a perfect fit. She was not "signing her life away" either. I am only looking for 2-3 hours per day and the time you complete the work is totally up to you. As far as being miserable to work for, I haven't had anyone work for me before because I have been the only person in my business, doing hospital account along with IC positions. I don't have to offer more cpl to get anyone to work for me. In fact, I could just keep all of it for myself, but because I try to keep my clients happy I am needing to get another person on-board so as to keep TAT within reason. As far as I'm concerned this discussion can be locked. I can't believe the hateful and bitchy remarks made to a totally innocent inquiry. As I haven't had to go through the hiring process before, I was wondering if this was the norm, that you get people like this when you interview. After all of this, I think I will just continue to do all the work myself. There will be less headaches for all involved and more money for me in the long-run. So all of you who had a problem with a simple inquiry, go back to your little holes and be happy. I've got work to do!

Thanks for the information...nm

Exactly where are you getting this information?
LOL - "all other countries?"

Source, please.

Why can't Americans dispense with some of their arrogance and try harder to understand/be understood?

I have NO problem with ESLs in general because they oftern try harder to be understood than American mumblers/speeders.
