perhaps knowing the great loss of life that will occur among those who were unable to leave the city, the govt believes this is the easiest way to contain the bodies.
It is obvious the local govt and the residents never believed this would happen. Did you see the reporter on Fox interviewing people on Bourbon Street having hurricane parties and joking about being drowned?

I agree with the other poster who suggested
finding an hourly MT at home job. I worked at home for our local hospital during my first several years. There are still MTSOs and hospitals that hire people at an hourly rate at home. Good luck with it.
sorry. check out PTalk like the other poster suggested. nm

i'd check into the olympus as the other poster suggested. sm
it comes with the software to upload the dictation to office computer, most come with docking station, etc. then you'd need a program that would encrypt the files like hypersend or cryptext or something to that matter to return the work to them. you can also get efax for free and someone in the office can fax you the pt lists that comes into your email or fax, whichever you choose.
You not only posted on this forum, but another forum asking for
advice, not once, but at least twice, panic stricken. If you didn't want the advice you shouldn't have asked and you surely shouldn't have come back her bashing people for their advice. We are not medical professionals. It could have just as easily been something serious and because of the lack of $$ you didn't go to the ER and you'd be singing a different song today.
I suggested it before. There should be one
test through that testing site, then they could archive our results. Companies could access the data as needed. It takes quite a bit of time to do each test for each company. 
Not sure where this was, but someone suggested here
that you contact the drug reps and see if they will help you. Most of them travel around to all of the clinics/doctors offices in the area and will know who is looking for workers... Again, not my idea, just thought it was a great one and am sharing it.
Ok, so have done what the first suggested but
how to clean the heads?
ME TOO! ROFL That's why I suggested it!!
Mom's know best, huh?! :)
you are the one who suggested shooting herself --sm
which seems more nit witty to me than asking what kind of flowers you like, in response to that dumb of a question. I have had two relatives take their own lives in the past six months, and one was by shooting themselves. I dont't take those kinds of remarks flippantly. Perhaps a better choice of words on your part would have elicited more empathy and helpfulness. I know computer problems can be stressful, but gees, what a solution that is! and I didn't call YOU any names.
Here is one somebody suggested. I haven't used it yet. (sm)

Two different doctors suggested it to me.
I tried it for a while but found myself slouching anyway. It is fun sometimes to sit and bounce or lean while typing. My office is just really small, so I had to put the ball in the living room when I wasn't using it. The kids would play with it. Really annoying because they're teenagers and their version of "playing" involves throwing the ball at each other across the room. I deflated the ball and it's in my closet.
To those MTs who suggested the FTP (free) software SM
Thank you so much! DH downloaded it, installed it, and I am transferring files with no problems....something the IT department of this MTSO couldn't do in six weeks of haggling!!! So thanks to those of you who helped out - it was GREATLY appreciated!
I've suggested before that perhaps you all might come up with a day & time
that you could all meet up in chat every week. Why don't you all discuss it and let me know. I will make a post on what you decide.
What would be a late fee or percentage suggested?
I think your idea is excellent. Other companies do this. Why can't ICs? Of course we can. But how do you decide on the late fee amount? Certain percentage after a certain number of days. What is the usual company procedure on this? Does anyone know.
My husband is an attorney and suggested the same thing to me once.
http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos152.htm
It definitely sounds more promising than MT but it does also sound like you'd be back to Square One with training/schooling.
It may be well worth it.
Best of luck whatever you decide!
Try bran flakes - vet suggested - worked for me (and my dog)
Thanks. I had to change the way I was viewing the site and then tried what you suggested -sm
and it seems to have worked. Now I just need to see if I can get Express Scribe to work for me. It has been a while since I have typed this way. Thanks again for your help.
Friend suggested I type while listening to the news.

A while back I suggested we all write a letter to the editor about this . sm
I did, and they declined to print it. Evidently it's not a big issue in the minds of some. Individually we can't do anything about it. Perhaps collectively. We need a petition to go to ALL senators and representatives from our respective states, and none of this "anonymous" stuff, either.

Your point was? You called me jealous and lazy, and suggested I work an 8 hour shift.
Now you're being "nice". I am NOT worried about others. Why would I want to work an 8 hour shift and produce 1000 lines if I could be missing SOMETHING and increase my production? How mean-spirited you are. I would LOVE to produce more and work less, so that I could spend more time with my loved ones. And to read on this forum the astonishing line counts most MTs are claiming to make regularly - well, I'm either doing some really, really wrong, which I would like to fix, or I'm not doing something that I need to be doing, which I would like to fix! Thus, my sincere question. Truly I believe it is time to leave this board, though I used to LOVE it so much, cause you just can't get an honest thread running anymore about anything - even trivial threads turn ugly by 2 to 3 posts, let alone INFORMATIVE ones like how honestly asking my fellow MTs who are huge producers HOW they do it? As in straight typing or using normals and standards? I try to hang on this board and stay "positive" despite the negatives, cause I really like it here and I really like the admin, etc, but I'm not a glutton for punishment. I know a lot of the old regular MTs who actually carried on intelligent conversations have gone to the board where you have to pay $$$ to post. Apparently, one can still have kind meaningful conversations over there - guess the $$ part weeds out the trolls? Don't know, but its sure sad. Please, don't misinterpret this as me thinking anyone would give a hoot if I left here - cause I know now there will be the normal "good - who gives a crap? good riddance" flames, but really, the MTs who are so trollish are just ruining it for themselves. Thus is their lot in life, though.
Good one. An anonymous poster blows another anonymous poster's head off. Great win for MQ?
 I guess that is a small pleasure for those of you who have lowered your expectations for the company you work for. 
Bet you're married to a fat bald guy too.
forum
People around the coast are being interviewed and are using the slogan from the civil war "the South will rise again" - ick.....that was a "Confederate" slogan....Just caught up.....
Forum only ...sorry
:-)
They don't ban you from 1 forum and not another!
Believe me, I know!! Probably just some temporary glitch in her settings. This sounds familiar, and I can't remember how someone said to fix it. But she wouldn't be able to post for help if she were banned!
Went on another MT forum (will not
name names) and saw work wanted postings for MTs in India. Don't know how I feel about this. All I do know is that I don't want my job outsourced like so many other jobs. The other MT forum is supposedly not an Indian forum, but they seem to let the Indian MTs post on it. I won't comment on there because I don't want to be called a bigot. Just worried about my job is all. Can't type for 2 cpl and buy groceries.
because its an MT forum.

Which forum?
Under which forum do I post that I am looking for work?  . I looked under "Job Seekers" but that doesn't seem to be the correct one, or am I misreading it? Thanks.
why don't you go to the IT forum? sm
their tech support is fabulous and they usually respond same day. They have their own forum at http://textware.com/board/itmainforum/index.html
No need to just be frustrated... they will help you do something about it.
If you are familiar with this forum at all
then you should have enough insight to realize that posting such vague information without any shred of credibility will get you a less-than-desired response.
Either way, even if it IS true - what kind of friend shares such an important secret? What kind of employee leaks information?
Hope I'm asking in right forum. sm
How much would you charge for a "normal" report? Had a GYN doctor ask me that. She wanted a special rate for normal reports. I said that I would charge whatever the line count came up with. Sometimes they adjust their "normals" and add on, and then I would not consider it a normal. If they did not, what would you charge?
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Stay away from MQ forum! LOL...nm
Yes, they own the forum you are posting on.
Look way down at the bottom of the page.
on job search forum
There are usually companies on there begging for op notes people.
There is a forum for Pets under
If there is a board for a particular topic, the topic is supposed to be taken to that board. I will be emailing the Administrator.
The MT forum that went to a pay site has
weekly updates, at least they used to. I haven't been to it since it became a pay site.
Job listing on a different forum for
a very, very good hourly salary base, plus shift differential, etc. I wonder why some places pay so well and others (especially working at home for a transcription service) seem so cheap.
Oh, get OVER it. This is an online forum,

There was an offshore forum before

Go to the IT main forum sm
it states there is a work around until the next revision comes out, right there under announcements.

Moderator, what's going on with this forum?
It's often down lately and I haven't been able to access it for a day or so. Just wondering what the problem is?
Ok which forum board did the ...sm
post go to about whether the illegals would leave with the state of the economy? I have checked the Gab and the political. What gives? Did it just disappear? Huh?
Send her to the CS forum.
Before she signs up for the course, she can get a guest pass to view the forum. She can see what really happens after graduation. Many grads now are having a hard time finding a job. Some graduated last year and are still job hunting. Of those who do find jobs, many are working for 4-5 cpl, which there is no way you could make decent money at that rate.
I wonder what "graduates" told her they were making $60,000 a year. Probably affiliates looking to gain commision off selling the program.
That forum is too scattered &
I need things laid out in steps and explained to me like I am 2 LOL
This forum makes me HUNGRY!!
I wish I had some kind of rotating dinner thing where I visited a different one of you each night for dinner!!!
You all must be super cooks!
On another forum they were talking about the people
There are over 50,000 people packed in there. If the structure holds, and that's a big if, the bottom level will flood. The upper level is 35 feet high so all those people will have to be on one level. The problem is magnified with 50,000+ people, the possibility of no electricity, no air conditioning, no food or water as the dome has not been designated as a diaster shelter previously. It will basically become a giant indoor swimming pool isolated as an island. It will be days before rescue can happen. I shudder to think what they will find when this is all over.
Is there a new format on Forum Section
or am I the only one experiencing this....
about two or three days ago, I've noticed that when I go to the main board, other forum or topic options were not listed on the blue portion of the page, and it feels weird to go back to the home page every time I want to change topic/section.
check the emotiondepression forum
I read a post like that on the emotiondepression forum.
Sorry - posted on wrong forum -nm

I mean love the new forum page.
