Those jumping on you are jealous, that's all.

I think when some people got into transcription, they figured it would be easier than it is. It's a real job that you have to concentrate on at all times. I don't answer the phone, my husband knows not to bug me and when my kids were still at home they knew not to bother mom while she's working.
This is still a great career for me. I get as much work as I want and make as much money as I want.

Jumping in here .....
But I just wanted to say that I know very well where both Rome and Douglasville are -- I'm in Cedartown !!
JUMPING
Change your macro or Expander to include a destructive backspace.

Also, if you do not use those fields to type on you can simply hit Alt + A then ctrl + shift + F9 and it will turn all the field codes to test instead of having to go delete them all.
No hoop jumping
I said nothing about specific companies, nothing about cpl. It was mentioned having to sit for days with no work and to that I say, then why stay? Keep one job while you look for another, but there is no reason to stay with a company that has no work. And while we are at it, why do so many people say "Tell me a good company that pays well." Do you want someone else to write your resume and do the work for you, too. Check out ALL the MT boards, Google for jobs, send out resumes, make phone calls. As has been said a million times on this board, a good job for one will not necessarily be a good job for another. Just don't sit staring at an empty screen, waiting for the MT fairy to drop jobs in your lap. Last I heard, her job was sent to India.
Jumping in topic....
A third of my work is radiology and the rest is basic four reports. I prefer doing rad because of the fast pace. It's a small hospital with a rotating doctor and I do anywhere from 50 to 150 (this is not counting combined reports) reports a day which only takes a couple of hours of my day. Would really like to do more rad but afraid of the committment it would mean. Any suggestions?
Ctl + F9 works for me, then F11 does the jumping
Have you taken MT courses yet? Or are you just jumping in on your own? nm

You are right. I guess I'm jumping the gun. It
just really upset me. I'll be shocked if it's NOT true, but stranger things have happened. Time will tell.
I'm jumping in a day late.
I just wanted to second that dogs don't do well with berber. My dog loosened one loop while chewing/playing with something (I can't remember whether it was a treat or toy). When he realized what he'd done, he then proceeded to pull it until I had a huge run in the carpet dead center in the room. We've never had behavior problems with him since we got him, but he didn't know any better and kept right on going. I vowed never to get berber again after that.
jumping around in word doc
Is there anyway that you can jump around in a word document? Meaning say if i have a template set up with all these headings is there a way just to put a * or something after the heading and be able to hit shortcut keys to jump right to that spot so I could start typing. THANKS FOR THE HELP!
Why is everyone jumping all over her post?
I don't believe she mentioned that she believes there is anything wrong with prayer. I think she was surprised to hear this being dictated. It is surprising! I have never come across such a statement in my entire career. It doesn't mean that prayer between patient and physician does not happen, it just is unusual that it is being dictated...that's all.
Jumping to fields
Hi everyone! For years I have been jumping to fields in Word by using the F11 key. Does anyone know if I can customize my keyboard to use alt/c to jump around and how to set that up?
Thanks!
Again - Someone jumping to conclusions
Is it that they can not comprehend what they read? This post was an effort at encouragement to some, not all. Again, someone takes a sentence out of context, turns it into something else, just so they can be this rude. No some may not want out of this business. It is all they have left. What she was encouraging was that if you are still young enough, why not start searching for another passion if this one has been taken away from you? I don't think the message was too hard to comprehend. If you want to "vent" (if that is what some call it), please do not do it to people who do not deserve this.
There you go jumping to conclusions.
above.
I seems strange that clients would be jumping
ship when the TAT time is pretty much up to the minute. You would think transcriptionists would be jumping ship instead. I don't believe the clients are jumping ship.
I really don't have any problem jumping accounts
A bit time delaying at first to learn the specifics and keeping the client profile open for referrence.
The only thing I hate is when I'm literally changing accounts with every other report and realize (usually as I hit send) that I did things on that report that is the standard from the account previously ie: number med list versus not...using 1. vs 1) etc.
Woops. I am so sorry for jumping the gun like that. Didn't know. Sorry! :(

You are certainly jumping to conclusions. I assure you sm
I would not send anyone to AAMT for any reason.
For 63 yrs old, I was surprised he's still jumping aound like that.
I think alot of people are jumping to --sm
conclusions here about the whole situation, including yourself. You do not know that just because she gave your husband's friend a ride home, that anything happened between them. Since she already had his friends cell number, perhaps he simply left something in her car and she wanted to return it. It could be totally innocent on everybodies parts. She may not even be aware he is married. But any way, that all is between your husband's friend and her. Since your husband told you about it in the first place, I think there is nothing to worry about in that respect. However, your over reaction to it will probably change things between you and him, and calm open communication is the only thing that may change that back. You already crossed the line with a jealous outburst, and perhaps will never be able to cross back. He will always see you in a different light now, and that you possibly do not trust him, and he will be very careful about what he tells you in the future. I have learned through experience that jealousy, anger, and mistrust are the quickest ways to drive your husband to find someone else. Secondly, if there IS an affair going on between the friend and this woman...it is none of your business. Don't confront the friend..don't confront the other woman...and definitely do not call the wife to tell her. If there is an affair going on, she will find out on her own, but if you stick your nose in, and they patch things up between them, you will have lost a friend for yourself, and your husband. Stay out of it. I definitely think you need to sit down with your husband and calmly talk about this. Tell him that you are sorry for over reacting and that you DO trust him. That is the most important. Never bring up the phone call again. Never ask for the number. He probably feels that you will interfere in something that is not your concern and that is why he does not want you to have it...not because something is going on. He thinks you will embarrass him. that is all. Don't start making waves when you are the one who would end up losing in the long run. Trust me...I know. I was jealous and suspicious of my ex husband and all of his female friends. I reacted to every situation with jealousy and anger, and tried to FORCE him to stay with me. If they want to go, you can't stop them from going. I ended up losing him because I drove him away with mistrust and jealousy. He is married to her now, and I hope they are very happy together. I am not angry and I am not bitter. I did it to myself and I take full responsibility for that. I just do not want to see it happen to anyone else, because it can be avoided simply by how you approach things. Take care and good luck to you.
Cannot remember macro for jumping
I need a macro for Word 2003 to jump to ?? as the next field and, even though I've done this before, I cannot for the LIFE of me remember how to do it. 
Any clues? THANKS in advance!
Microsoft Word margin jumping
Hello. I've had this happen before when opening MS Word and suddenly the curser jumps to the very top of the page and not at the usual 1" margin that I have set at. Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't remember how I did it last time. It just started doing this again. I've checked my margins and they are fine in page set up.Thanks.
That's hilarious, hiring bonus. Everyone jumping ship?

I'm afraid if you posted anything on here, people will just start jumping -
down your throat. People on this board, unfortunately, are notorious for that. Hopefully, you are working for a better company now and not dealing with the MQ problems and accounts.
If you have the knees for it, jumping rope slims fast.
Jumping rope is effective because it doesn't build a lot of muscle bulk in the thighs, which many women don't want. You get calf definition and it works your core muscles, arms, and especially your heart and lungs. The effect is very slimming.
But I also saw a study that said men slim fastest with aerobic exercise, and surprisingly, women slim down fastest if they do strength training in addition to aerobics. Weird, hey?
Your just jealous. It can be done. Other MTs can sm
produce and you can't. HA, HA.
What's there to be jealous
about. FORMER BANK MANAGER- things obviously didn't work out.
Don't be jealous.
I don't need 9 accounts to have to get work. I rarely pull work from most of them because I have get enough from my primary.
It is utterly ridiculous that you find a negative thing to say about everything you read you nasty, nasty lady.
jealous :(
Jerome and Prescott are definitely to die for. Also Silverton CO. oh but I miss my biker days *sigh*
I am so jealous!
I am an 80's teen, so he's a bit before my "time", but I still absolutely LOVE him! He is so awesome. I'm jealous.
Hope you have a truly wonderful time...think about all us back home while you're there! 
I'm so jealous!!!!!
I keep hoping he will come to my area of the US, as I know he has been doing some concerts. I will camp out for tickets if he does!
I don't think he is really "beautiful" or "handsome" but he just has that "IT" factor that makes my heart swoon!
Jealous?? Of WHAT? LOL!

So, 3 or 4? Like where? I am jealous.

I'm jealous, too!
My vacations consist of going to see family, bringing my laptop along and I work where ever we go!! Wow..I'd love to have a real vacation with no work involved...I'm dreaming...
Perhaps not jealous
I don't that the responders were jealous but sharing their experiences with you and telling you that there is a chance that you may not get that raise even though you feel -- and I agree -- you probably deserve it. But at least they stayed through your move with you and you no longer have to pick up, deliver, print, etc. and kept you at your same rate while someone in the office was doing that. So that saves you time.
Again I barely pay attention to the cpl that I receive. I look more at the hourly rate that I need to make and see how that works for me. Especially since I also do mostly clinic notes like you and have the same dictators and can make so many templates, macros, auto corrects, etc. -- I can type 300 to 500 lines per hour. So at 12 cpl that is good money. I utilize hundreds of short cuts, do not do repetive typing at all. So that is money in my pocket and I feel a raise as I am working less and making more. The MT world is going the same way as the trucking profession did several years ago and I lived through that with my husband. 10 to 15 years ago it used to be so lucrative driving a truck and now a days you are lucky if you break even. Look at the foreign truck drivers that cannot speak English and or read the road signs.
I still feel that it is the insurance companies that are getting rich and I know that the physicians are not getting rich from them when they receive anywhere from 60 to 75% of what they bill out, but the insurance company does not cut our rates 60 to 75% when we use their PPO's. If you raise your rates 1 cent per line, that is about an 8.5% increase which over five years is not that much. I did raise my rates this last year and explained to them that I had to either raise my rates or get another account and then they might not be receiving the same service that they were these past few years. They all said "Raise them" so I did. All you can do is to be honest with them, do not be defensive but do be prepared that they may not like it. I think that is what everyone was sharing was that be prepared for the worst, hope for the best and go for it. After having some of my accounts for 5 to 18 years I still get butterflies in my stomach when I raise the rates. But even though I have only gone up 3 cents per line in 16 years, my production has doubled so I work less and make more. . .Anyway that is my thinking for what it is worth.
I think his son is jealous of him and wants him sm
in trouble. Dog has come a very long way from being a drug addict, etc. I think phone conversations should be kept private. Sorry, but I would not want my son to date a black woman. However, I would never use the "n" word.
You're just jealous! Of course this is possible...
no, I'm not jealous, I just happen to have something they don't sm
it's called a life!!! Woohoo!!!
You sound a bit jealous that you are too
stupid to do all that. Some people have the skills, some don't. No need to knock people who do. Sorry for your disability.
Sounds like someone's jealous
of me. I hate when that happens. It blows my mind when I see most of the people around me walking around and it looks like half their face was blown away by a fart. Is that what happened to you? My recommendation would be to get plastic surgery, gastric bypass or find someone who will love you for you. I am not sure if that is possible, but give it a whirl. Don't hate me because I am beautiful.
Gee Michael I am jealous she sm
didn't even reply to me! haha. That sounds really professional doesn't it? Obviously she is someone trying to work from home who doesn't have a clue and just trying to make some bucks. She can't possibly be experienced or she wouldn't put an ad in with the emphasis on computer skills and not MT skills! She is the loser!
Very impressive! I'm jealous! : )

If this is her house, now I am jealous and
I can see why she fought so hard to keep it in the divorce. I would be thrilled if this was my house and my real house isn't anything to sneeze at. Color me green.
I truly don't think anyone is jealous of your situation
Obviously it is not working out all that well. Anyone can take a chance and buy up a bunch of homes with no money down, most people would not take that kind of a risk. It is quite apparent you are not millionaires. I feel bad for you, actually, and hope things turn around for you soon!
so sad that 12 cpl makes everyone jealous
I tried to use quotes around jealous, but it wouldn't let me post the message... And I don't mean jealous in the sense that you know it..... I just mean that everyone is soooo surprised and so eager to tell me that I'm so lucky and that I better not take it for granted... and that is fine. I am wondering WHY that is the way it is. I think it is awful for us as MT's, the career I thought I would be able to raise my family on, has gone from what it was to what it is. For God sakes the cost of living has skyrocketed, and I have never received a raise in five years. Now everyone would be happy to be making what I am making... however I can never imagine working for 7, 8 or 9 cents because I feel I am worth SOOOO much more than that, and I think you should ALL feel that way. Outsourcing is a real threat, but not always. The hospital I work for now, they tried it, and the work was crap, so re-hired my mom and I at 10 cpl. I am maybe too optimistic but I feel like it is like VR. There will always be errors...
I just feel awful that people are ragging on me for wanting to make more because I feel I deserve it. I don't think a one cent raise is that awful to ask for. I'm just trying to make ends meet as it is you know? If they refuse it, then I deal with it. But the fact that I spend so much time looking things up on the internet, doctor's names, new drugs, addresses... and someone expects me to work for next to nothing?
On a side note, I get NO benefits as I am an IC. Would someone suggest asking for benefits rather than a raise? Insurance costs a lot even though I am young and healthy, and I don't remember the last time I put money in my IRA was.
It's just really sad. I always thought that this would be my forever career and now at the age of 25, i must rethink about going back to school, maybe becoming a nurse, they are in high demand now aren't they? I just wanted nothing more than to be able to be home with my kids when I have them some day. Is that such a terrible thing?
Best wishes to you all
lol Lady, I am not jealous! She, however, has
I still think her BA is in BS! LOL
People Are Just Jealous
I too, am an awesome typist and don't doubt you. As for the people who read this board for advice?? In my experience, an average MT types 150-200 lines per hour (I can easily do 400 when the work is there). There are some very good MTs who are very very slow though. I actually worked with a woman with 18 years experience who could only generate 600 lines maximum in 8 hours. Just my two cents.
You would be so jealous if you only knew
what wealth I do have and wealth is not just money but happiness beyond belief. I told my better half just yesterday if I had 1 word to term my life it would be magical. That should tell you something, but probably will not because you want to think I am the heavy in this situation. Think like you want as least my conscious is clear as far as my life goes.
Cyndi I'm JEALOUS!!!! (nm)

They're great! Lots of sweating, jumping, dancing. Fun! I just ordered more. nm

Frank did not write me. I am jealous.
Frank isn't as hot as Gregg but I still wish I could hear from Frank. He isn't answering my e-mails either.
