This is how it was told to me in January

They said at social security I could start drawing my money in 01/2009 - that is the year of my 66th birthday but I turn 66 in March. Now what they said is I could get 2 checks in January- why wait? Well, the wait for me is I get more money by waiting 2 more months and that is the rest of your life money- it can go up some because social security gives raises (unlike our jobs now). I reach 66 in the year 2009 but not 66 years of age until March, 2009. Does that make it more understandable- remember it is the government talking!

end of January great, too
I went at the end of January and had maybe a 15-minute wait max on the most popular rides, practically no wait on all the others. The weather was clear and high 60s, so not bad. I can't imagine what a mess it must be in the summer.

I think I bought it in January. nm

I'll probably wait until January...
and see what havoc is wreaked on my pay - but at this point there is just so much wreaking already...
Yes, I wish it were January 1st. I feel obligated
to invite people I do not really want to spend time with here for Thanksgiving and Christmas because otherwise they would have nowhere to go and would sit home alone. Guess it's not good to invite people and then resent it, but I do. And the cooking is left mainly up to me because the others are too old/incapacitated or too worthless to help.
We were slow the first week of January but
now we're being dumped on and can't seem to get to back in control. I've worked almost everyday just trying to stay close to TAT.
I have just missed this first 1 for the year, January.

How's your work load going Monday, January 9?
Just wondering if we are all in the same boat, sinking because of India oursourcing.
Good for you--I left the field in January
after 16 years. I now work as an Editor outside of the medical field. I'm still home-based, and my journalism degrees are put to good use. I hate to see what has happened in this profession, and follow the developments. However, I did not feel encouraged about my future in transcription, and felt that it was best to get out ASAP. I'm relieved to be out of it, and encourage anyone considering a career change to follow their intuition and explore their options.
Your transcription experience will put you ahead of the game in nursing school. Best wishes to you, and congratulations for taking action.
Yes! I saw it in Philadelphia in January - it was absolutely incredible!

I have the feeling they may eliminate SE because they are starting this new plan in January. Quite
frankly, I am surprised you do okay with Amherst. I sit looking at a no work sign many days and it gets a little tiresome. I have already been looking at other companies because I have felt for a long time with the lawsuits and millions going out MQ is not the place to be anymore. Too much baggage and may Spheris is in the picture especially if they drop SE I think that may well be true.
I'm hoping to go part-time January 1, at least for several months.
I am just so burned out I'm not getting the lines I need, my house isn't getting cleaned, I don't seem to have any leisure time, etc. I'm hoping that going part-time will be enough of a break that when I am working I'll be better focused and can actually produce the minimum lines that I need.
It slows down every August and January on both ER accounts that I have. This time sm
of year is the worst. I forget about it every year until it happens again. It usually picks up again at the end of August and then is really busy until the end of the year. It slows down a bit (not much) in the beginning of January and then is really, really busy until mid to late July into August.
I have been doing this for 13 years and the only year ever that it did not happen to me was last summer. Not sure why, but both hospitals stayed busy the entire 2006.
Tax guy told me to hold 30%. After first year when got idea what I would be making, he told me
:P
I dont remember exactly whether it was by Qmail or what mail but it is starting January 1. I was
concerned about that because usually when they change any kind of employee status or SE status it is in the beginning of a tax year. I am worried about the SE status for that reason. But it is January 1.
internest is not updated fast enough? I book you buy in January was put together mid last year..how
nm
No actually I plan to suck everything out of them at my line rate this year and then quit in January
when they start the new pay plan. Yep, that is exactly what I plan to do. Yep, I have it all planned out. This sick sick lady has it all planned out. The best of MQ is over.
Other than the reduction in ASR starting Oct 1 the rest of the deal doesnt start until January 1 so
we all have time to move on if it does not suit us.
I told you once, I told you twice, eTransPlus is going down the drain!
Don't expect communication from anyone, we are only little "peons."
Has anyone on this board's work slowed down this January. MT work that is.
Got several friends with slow-down of work but they are MQMTs Wondered how the rest of the MT world is doing.
I was told
I was told that I could be sued by the client or dr for what I transcribe and the company will not help me in any way. Now I called State Farm and told them what I wanted and they said that due to it being in the medical field they would not cover me....
I was told
the same thing. Some said they had to wade through stacks of resumes looking for resumes that even remotely came close to meeting the requirements they posted. I can see why the best ones don't post their job openings. I know the company I am working for has offered a referral bonus, they are hiring for all shifts, all hours. I don't refer people, referral bonus or not, but I would encourage anyone who is not happy to post their resume and pray they are contacted by this company or another equally good one.
Better to see the doc & be told all's well than (sm)
Have it be appendicitis & run the risk of rupturing. If you still have your ovaries, could be a cyst/adhesions/whatever. Or it could be just a strained muscle or something. If it were me, I'd check with my doc. Just my opinion, tho'.
Hope you feel better soon, regardless of what it is
someone told me that
she knew a guy who lost about 50 pounds in 3 months by drinking a gallon of water a day plus a gallon of Arizona green tea. Sounds like he was either overhydrated or bouncing off the walls! In any event, he was certainly spending a lot of time for pee breaks.
I was NEVER told anything
I had to be up to speed (12,000 lines) in one payperiod even starting on the new program and new account in order to not have to pay for computer and keep insurance. NEVER has the office I work out of ever said you could put a note on there and say it is new account and were we given time to get used to a new account.
MQ is for the birds. No continuity of rules at all.
Whoever told you all men are like this? Him? nm

That's what I was told by QA.
They told me that. Don't blame me.
I was told it can't be done
Or maybe we're thinking of different dictionaries. I was asking about the main word dictionary that comes with Stedmans. Is that the one you're referring to, or just the custom dictionary you create?
If it's the main dictionary, I would love to know how you do it. Please share.
I was told to
Shake up a bottle or can of 7up or sprite really, really well.. let it sit a few so it doesn't spray you lol..then warm it up a little bit. That does the trick for our 20 month old :)
What my doc told me-
"What!!!!! You're upping your rate????? IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!" That was 2 years ago.
Seriously...I have been doing his work for 11 years, always afraid of raising the rate because I knew he always had other sending him letters and calling him. I finally took a deep breath and upped it last year...a whole penny more per line. That's when he made the above statement.
I don't print any of his work. He calls my 800 number to dictate and I PCAnywhere his work to his computer twice a week. It used to be 20 minutes twice a week, now it's up to 40 minutes twice a week.
HE told ME that others want to charge triple what I charge. Well, I can make him happy if he wants me to up my rates again. 
He gives me $100 bonus at Christmas and a wonderful card thanking me for the terrific service I provide to him. I love this guy and would never, ever think about dropping him.  and he told me he would never, ever THINK of dropping me for someone else.
FYI, 11 years ago, I charged him $.15 a line/65 character line, now I charge $.16. He's one of the fantastic few doctors who appreciate the MT. For that reason, I also appreciate him and send him Omaha Steaks at Christmas (no more than $50).
My vet told me it's HIS job to sm
do anal glands and no one but a vet should do it as it can be tricky and mistakes can cost an owner money and I agree with him. My previous cocker had glands that would plug up and he had a certain way that he would do that caused her no pain and she would need to be on antibiotics for a week after. I've NEVER done my own dog's, always took them to the vet, per HIS recommendation that no one BUT A VET should do glands. Personally, if demand that much from your groomer, then I wouldn't want you for a customer.
what would you do when your 10y/o told you
honestly, I don't know how to handle this without hurting her feelings. please help!! need some good advice. Thanks in advance
I have not been told
that it is required to switch to VR. I have also not spoken to anyone with that works with the company that was *forced* into doing VR. I have been told that it is an option.
He should have told you before but
as an MT with many years of experience (25), I would not appreciate very much having someone with less than half my experience as my "manager" and QA person. And I know a lot of seasoned MTs who feel the same way. Of course I could have the job if I really wanted it and I don't, I just want to transcribe. But still I expect someone who at least knows as much as me, if not more, to be my supervisor.
She is saying that she was told that
she had a position with a certain company, but was told that she needed to buy a DocShuttle program in order to do her job. Once she bought the program from them, they never contacted her again. She was asking if anyone else had had this experience.
this has been told everywhere sm
That story has circulated around many, many times. Supposedly, the story is not true. You can Google it if you want, but according to research, it is a hoax.
Not what I was told sm
I was told I need one to work for a local company. I'll just have to call them directly next week. Thanks!
Who told you this??
I think you can get disability insurance but usually you have to cover employees with WC insurance but if you are an IC without employees, I don't think you can get it. But you could call your state WC division and ask them as I have been known to be wrong. But I don't have any. And if you subcontract to someone I don't think that they can require that you carry it yourself but again I could be wrong.
she was never told she was only IC.

We were told
at one point that to type in Word and copy and paste was a HIPAA violation and would be grounds for being let go immediately. Anyone else know of this?
Was told I could...
I work for Spheris and made that clear to my accountant. He insisted a few years ago I could write my home office, DSL, etc. off one year. Guess what? The IRS wanted $300 back, so I don't bother trying to write anything off anymore.
then she would have told you how as well.
where I worked there were also settings per Transcriptionist and one of them was allow skip - Y or N.
Don't you think it would be better to talk to someone at the job? Most will work with you.
I was told this (sm)
An MTSO that outsources all of its transcription made the decision that proofreading/editing that transcription before returning it to doc offices just wasn't cost effective for them and so they have eliminated that step and are trying to get by without it.
That means any mistakes made by transcriptionists with little or no comprehension of the English language beyond medical terminology are being sent through to go in patient records unless someone on the receiving end takes the time to proof everything first.
Of course if they do this, and discover the poor quality of work they're receiving, the MTSO will likely end up losing the account - but they'll just turn around and find somebody else.
And in the meantime, God only knows what sort of mistakes are NOT being found simply because quality isn't cost effective.
My CPA told me it was much better
for me tax-wise to be a SE than an IC. He said to be an SE was the best of all possible worlds. I did not ask him why. I pay for his expertise and I trust him.
He told me...
Jan needs a Xanax . You're a spaz, sorry, but it's true.
