IMO, people wont care. If will cost them more

I just can't imagine what these people are going through.
I watched a CNN clip on the net this morning and can't stop crying. I'm going to try to pull it together and work a bit extra today so that I can have extra $$ to send to the Red Cross and I'm going to pray a lot.
new people are scary
I have an orientation this Saturday with an animal shelter, i'm debating whether or not to show. My main thing is the distance, afraid my car won't make it. I can't wait to see some new faces though. Make the call, you'll be glad. They're all good people if they are volunteering their time.
People don't tell because they like having enough work, I imagine - also, sm
Josie Blowsie over there may not make the same line rate I make. That's subbing, of course. I don't tell what I charge my local contracts because I don't want to be underbid.
From reading these posts, these QA people are scary....

The political people knew what could happen if a hurricane hit New Orleans. sm
after 9/11 they diverted the money for the war. One should not take money from one project to do another. This tragedy didn't make any sense and there are some people on the political board that says its the mayor fault. What a joke.
Puhleez! I happen to know of two MAJOR MTSO's who charge 0.45 cpl and only pay their people 0.08
to 0.09 cpl! And both of the two companies I speak of also offshore. So let's do the math, they charge the client 0.45 cpl, they pay the India MTs 0.02 cpl. Either way you add it up, they are making big money off our sweat or by exploiting third world workers!
Boo Hoo for the MTSO's and their overhead and their time and headaches. And what friggin overhead do they have, really? They have an office staff of about 10 people at the very most! They employ mostly IC's, don't have to worry about paying for benefits and the one's that do have actually employees, the benefit packages are a joke.
I will say one thing, if I EVER lose my mind and decide to take a job with another MTSO, I will turn over every rock I can find before I accept a position. They want to do a background check on me?!?!! Well, I'm gonna do one on them.
I harbor just a little ill-will towards some MTSO's. If they're not offshoring the work, they're screwing us "worker bees." It is a racket and it's best to get your own accounts or eliminate the middle man and work for the hospital. I do both. The hospital pays me hourly and gives me great benefits for me and my kids. My accounts are for making my fun money!
Never had this happen either. Email the SH people. They're very prompt with help. Good

I wont even listen to me
on my voicemail!! ewwww, I know I sound like a geek, or a little kid, or tired, or ...... 
24/7 as they are wont to do everyone online....nm
ooooo
well, tell me cuz I wont shoot you down
I believe everyone that says they make that much. I can type over 2000 lines a day but find that it is hard to do that everyday for myself. how many lines do you type daily and then how many hours do you work. my pay tier is this 7 cpl to 3000 lines, 9 cpl to 6000 lines and then after 6000, 10 cpl.
thanx, but wont work..sm
and they cant have any tabs in the report or it wont convert.
but thank you so much
dont have to worry, cause she wont win
:- )
Wrong. MT wont be responsible for anything.

How did they replace MTs that couldnt cut it as obviously some wont want the stress of it.
:
For some reason my email to you wont work.
Can you email me, I put my email in with the first response.
Thanks to all of you for your words of encouragement. It is so hard living and working at home alone.
Your words have really helped more than you know:)

MTSO wont tell dr to improve dictation. Too
x
True but bid for decent rate and wont get
x
I'm not worried. Interesting she wont explain

I find it odd that no one knows what the MQ incentive plan is and wont for several months but
you have been hired on the new incentive plan. Somehow I am sorry but this whole thing just doesnt ring true. I just doesnt gel with what we were just told by email and snail mail by the CEO.
Voice Recognition wont take over in that amount of time.

One mistake wont lose acct. Many mistakes will cause them

Thanks..school wont give another copy since I am graduated now...also went to a whole new comp, sm
not just an upgrade. Could not pull the free program off the old one. thanks anyway. Just looking to get by on something inexpensive until I get some $$$ coming in.
What is good to clean an LCD computer screen that wont harm the black plastic monitor itself.
:
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
Imagine that!!
My DH just got a promotion at work. It is a pretty big promotion. He sat down and talked to me and told me how happy he is to have me at home working, because he feels he is where he is because I pick up so much of the slack with the kids, etc. and he gets to focus on his career. For a while I was considering getting out of the business (major burnout), but now I'm here to stay!!! He told me now that he is making more, not to worry about working so hard -- take some more time off for myself!!! Am I lucky or what!!!! 
Imagine that.....
You are blessed with a great fella! And, indeed, you are a lucky lady. Something tells me that you deserve this, however. :) Enjoy!
Imagine this...
You are in charge of let's say 50 MTs... and they all want to chit chat. I don't think that would make a very productive supervisor.
Does it bother you when you are working and someone, either in your home on on the phone, wants to chit chat?
With all the changes and consolidating offices, I'm sure the supervisors have more than their share of stressors. Just look at the supervisor turnovers we all speak of. They need to do their jobs as efficiently as possible and being chummy with MTs is counterproductive to that end.
I'm not saying they should shrug off any pertinent MT problem that has to do with work by any means, but if work-related conversation evolves into anything else, I can see why the supervisor would want to get off the phone.
I've had about 4 supervisors since being with MQ, 3 within the last 6 months, and I correspond by email mainly. I find that much more efficient, but when I return their calls, they are very helpful and nice. I am a talker so I avoid the phone at all costs because that would totally take away from work time or fun time ;-)
And I'm just wondering... what kind of favors?
I can't imagine
They generally schedule 1 patient every 15 minutes to make up for those who don't show. With outsourcing they still have to dictate so I don't see how that would let them see more.
I can't imagine...sm
My highest day ever was 2600 lines and I couldn't sleep that night, my hands were so painful. I rarely do more than 2100 lines in a day because my hands just can't handle more than that.
I do yoga and work out by walking three miles daily, and if it weren't for that, I don't think I could do this for a living because its murder on the hands. And I'm only 42 years old.
I dont know how you do it. Kudos to you!

Yes, it is, but I imagine you could

Can you imagine?
Can you imagine Taylor's reaction if (when, fingers crossed) he wins? He seems to appreciate everything so much. Vote, vote, vote!!!!
I cannot imagine
I cannot imagine my reports still having to be checked after two months, I have never gone more than two DAYS before being released from QA. Are you SURE you are not making legit errors? If you truly believe that your reports are 100% accurate, then I agree with the previous poster - you need to look elsewhere for employment.
Imagine that....
Someone has a job that consists of constanly making changes. I guess that requires a Master of Arts in Changology degree.
I would imagine she would like to
inserts a period, spaces appropriately, and capitalizes the first letter of the next sentence.
If you are not familiar with VBE, the easiest way to create a your new macro will probably be to type a few sentences without punctuation in a Word doc. Place your typing cursor at the end of the first sentence. Go to create new macro, name it, and assign the shortcut keys you would like to use. The macro recorder should then show on your screen.
Insert a period at the end of the first sentence and space the appropriate number of spaces. Then capitalize the first letter of the next sentence. Turn off the macro recorder. Go to the end of the next sentence and try the assigned shortcut keys.
I would imagine most do...
If they require you to do these during your normal work hours so you are losing money to attend the training/conference, etc. Heck even if you do it outside of work hours, you are giving up your free time to do it and thus should be paid IMO.
I was curious to see if most of the companies do pay, as mine doesn't and it really steams me.
I just imagine myself as a bag lady nm.

Just imagine-- no worries
I would love to wake up every morning and have no worries about gas prices going up even higher, whether or not I can afford my utility bill, whether or not I as a single woman will be able to find someone to help me with heavy work and things I can't do by myself, etc. No matter what state of chaos the world is in, they just go on about their daily routine, just like they always have. They also help each other-- what a novel idea. Their lifestyle is sounding better all the time-- a big plus for me is that I already have a horse.
Same here!! They get so nutz on here. Could you imagine
what it would like to put all these same women in the same room? It could go one of 2 ways..sweet as pie to one another OR .......AAAH!! Oops i think i splt thgs rihgt up three!! LOL
Very original!! Can only imagine what it would be
hahaha
Absolutely - I can't imagine doing anything (sm)
else (despite all it's faults).
Imagine. And I really liked your posts.
Sorry to see you go. I must admit I was shocked at some of the stuff that was thrown at you in this female dominated environment.
So sorry to hear about your uncle. I'm very close to my uncles (my mom's brother and brother-in-law). Just lost my mom in April. It's been really rough on all of us.
I actually heard Ringo across the airwaves in our teeny tiny local supermarket today. I'm pushing my cart and singing, "Let me help, if your child needs a daddy, let me help. . . ." :)
I asked the fresh faced clerk if she knew who it was singing and she rolled her eyes and said, "I have no idea." 
I did tell her that it was Ringo Starr, one of the last 2 remaining Beatles and though she obviously was not the least bit interested, the woman behind me said, "You got that right! These kids need to take music appreciation classes."
God we're getting old. :)
For what it is worth, we have 2-year-old twin granddaughters and their favorite song is "Love Me Do."
My husband and I married with matching Lennon rings engraved with "Imagine" and he does the candle thing every year on the anniversary of John's death. This year was hard, marking #25.
All John was saying, was give peace a chance.
Too bad about the people on this board that will never see beyond the scope of their own insecurities.
Godspeed RadGuy.
Peace! 
I can't imagine why my note
has all of these hits, especially since it wasn't a general question and had nothing to do with transcription. Must have been a slow work day :)
I couldn't imagine.....
...holding the baby while typing. I have 15-month-old twins and THANKFULLY neither gave me that problem. I think if they had I probably would have tried every different toy bar for the bouncy seat or swing until something worked. Something comfy for her to lay against maybe. If nothing works and you can't manage typing and holding her then adjusting your schedule for when your husband is there would be my only thought. Good luck. Mine are giving me CLIMBING issues at the moment, oh brother!!!!!
No, it doesn't pay better, but I imagine they take the job...
as an MT while looking for a position somewhere as a doctor. There are a lot of doctors and not enough open jobs for everyone there. It's hard to find a good job there, because you'll probably have thousands competing against you, but MT jobs seem to be in high demand now so they're easier to get, especially if you're already trained in the medical field.
I've never been myself, but I can imagine it's
gorgeous by what I've seen in pictures and stuff. I would love to visit one day. Have you spoken with her? From what I could tell just on TV, they both seemed to have loved each other so much. I know that must be hard for her and the kids, especially something so sudden.
Hopefully she will continue some of the things her husband did, such as the zoo. From what I read, it seemed he did a lot beyond his TV shows.
better yet, imagine a MT who is professional!?

Imagine what a joy they are to live with
I bet their spouse wants to strangle them daily. I know I do.
I imagine he enjoyed that
after the Cialis
scary
It is scary to think how narrowed minded people can be. Plantation mentality is alive and well in the South....So help us all....
Scary
Your last 2 paragraphs made absolute sense. I always thought, even back "in the day," that dictation to transcription was archaic.
However, I fit into the "over-educated but don't know how to get in out of the rain MT" category, so scary thought because if you thought of it, someone else should as well... and I do need to keep doing this at least until one of my kids strikes it rich!
Good post.
