So the truth is evil?? Whatever. nm
n
That is exactly what I meant. Evil for the sake of evil, not for the sake of satan
who is the essence of evil in Christianity. Call evil what you want it exists in every nation and every culture.
Having said that, did not the terrorists call America the Great Satan after their attack on 9/11?
Evil Co-Worker
Anyone else have an evil co-worker or two? I work at home but there's always one that still manages to find me. I would ilke to slap this current one if I could reach her through my computer. She thinks she's my supervisor. I try to be respectful and polite, but that's not working. All my other co-workers are wonderful. I can't find anything in the company handbook about slapping not being appropriate, so that's my next plan of action. I just have to figure out a way to do that through cyberspace.
Evil Co-Worker
I agree! Give her enough rope and evenutally she will hang herself. You are so not alone. I had to deal with one of these types for nearly 2 years. I would be trying to get my work done on my account and her IMs were poping up left and right. I even had my "Busy Working" sign up! She never did her work -- waited until the last minute. Most times I ended up doing her share because of it. Unfortunately, no one in charge seemed to notice or just did not care since I was picking up what she lacked. The money was good because I was getting a ton of extra lines, but it was killing me and destroying my marriage. She would go on and on about her family all the time. Like I cared! Her kids were sick every other day. She always had an excuse why she didn't get her work done. The kicker? Once I had to do her work last minute about an hour or so before it was all due -- I am pounding away on my keyboard she Knows I am doing her work! The IMs pop up telling me how she is helping her sister write a resume! Hello! She should have been doing her own work or at the very least leaving me alone so I could do it for her. I would type my buttock off to have an evening free -- guess what? She would suddenly have some sort of problem as soon as she saw my work was finished and she would then be unable to do her own. Guess what came next? Yep -- I got stuck working while she got away with it. I swear it was like she was stalking me on-line. Don't know how she knew, but seemed like the second I got up to use the bathroom or went to the kitchen for a soda the IMs would bing. Just the memories still drive me crazy. I can relate. It's not a fun club to belong to.
Wow, you are really evil to post this.

The only evil I find about smoking is. . .
How darn hard it is to quit. I have tried everything. Patches, gum, Wellbutrin, Zyban, cold turkey, etc.
Don't buy them by the pack anymore. We (my husband and I) roll our own. Buy a can of tobacco and have a little machine and thought that would deter us, but noooooooooo. $8 a week compared to over $8 a DAY.
We do keep trying so there is hope that someday, hopefully within the next 6 months, we can say see ya! Yeah right. 
Why is my evil mind keep saying SHILL?

tell your evil mind to hush up
I've been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking since November 2002, and it's possible for me to produce more lines dictating than using the keyboard.
LOL ... have to admit I get a bit of evil satisfaction from that too. :-) nm

Taking the evil out of the world is one thing.
Sending a teenager (18) just out of high school to a country with acknowledged lower drinking age (18) is perhaps contributing to the vulnerability and adding a little evil into that life teens life. No one thinks straight when they are drinking. New drinkers + naive teens equals disaster. Mix in a foreign country with different customs and laws. What were these parents thinking?
I couldn't resist, must be the evil spirits in the air.
Oh man,pure-dee evil stuff! "Worse" when you use
Another definition of satanic is a behavior that is evil , which I think may have been the original
poster's intended meaning.
They must be so frustrated. Gnashing their evil-doing teeth. Trying new bait, tossing out the line.
But we're not gonna BITE! Have I mentioned to you that rabbits bite? Some do, though I don't think they particularly mean it...
OK! I'm glad you're back down here. Now don't go back up there and read those evil posts ag
Okay? But I have to leave you now, sadly. Thousands of noble dictating doctors are anxiously awaiting my help with their "dictations"....They're all loading up on chips, drinking lots of soda so they can burp, and then have to go to the bathroom...You know the routine! Off I go to earn some pennies!! But, truly, I am thankful that I have a job! 
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you wanted the fairy tale version of the truth.
In that case, it doesn't matter what school you choose because you'll always be able to get a job. Medical transcription is a bed of roses right now. Offshoring is just a myth and you can make at 25 cpl with any of the MTSOs out there. They are all completely reputable, always honest, and totally respect every MT that they have ever employed. Why, most MTSOs adhere to a strict policy of keeping their MTs happy and helping them be productive, they actually solicit their MTs opinions in an effort to better the profession and working conditions.
Now that you've had your little fantasy, maybe you can face reality! THE MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION INDUSTRY SUCKS RIGHT NOW. Unless you are an experienced MT who owns your own service or has your own accounts, you absolutely cannot earn a decent living. The only way to eek out a living as an employee or IC of a service, is to chain yourself to your PC and work 12 hours a day or more. Forget you have kids, forget you have a husband, forget that there is a world outside your front door. Just type, type, type until your fingers bleed and then, MAYBE you can pay your bills and buy groceries at the end of the month!
That is reality! That is the way it is and if you don't like it, tough! I'm not someone who sugar coats and coddles. I tell it like it is. Don't waste your money on an MT school. Look into medical coding. Becaise of the EMR, more and more facilities are letting their coders work from home. Not to mention that medical coding has a wonderful advocate in the AHIMA. You have the backing and protecion of a wonderful association that works toward elevating the coding profession and protecting salary ranges. AHIMA commands respect for the coders and the HIM professionals.
Don't know which version of WP you are talking about, but
if 5.1, it is no longer supported by Stedman's. If you have an older version it will work in WP5.1, the newer versions will not. If it is a different version of WP you can specify in the setup what program it will work with, though I don't know if you can set it up with WP and Word both.
The truth will set you free and the truth is more low level income people w/o education or proper
skills to keep up their home or train their children live in trailer homes and low income housing. If that sets you off, maybe you should not visit these threads or read the posts regarding others viewpoints on trailer parks. They have zoning laws against them in many communities because they draw undesirable people are not particularly pleasing to the community as a whole, bringing property values down. If you have issues with this, seek out the government in various communities and have them change the laws. Fact is fact and you cannot dispute these facts.
The truth stings sometimes and I congratulate MTStars for having the kahoonas to post truth.
Tired of being lied to. I'm a big girl and can handle the truth. Why can't you?
Opened a can of worms, eh? Truth hurts, but it is TRUTH!
8 cpl is about the top out in the US MT industry. If you're making more consider yourself lucky because it just might be snatched away from you at any moment. For the 14 cent per liner, good for you! You went out and got your own accounts. Others should follow your example. As far as the "stupid" MT comment, keep in mind that she was not consistent and **often** had one excuse after another not to work, yet I could see her online and when I would ask her why she was online she would give VERY lame excuses. Also, keep in mind that I also was the one who helped this gal out monetarily to begin with and she took advantage of my generosity. Don't make me out to be the bad gal here just because I own a service. The shoe could easily be on your foot.
So, NEWS FLASH, if you have an MT position that is paying more than 8 cpl, consider it a real blessing and pray that your job isn't outsourced offshore.
They're still at version 7 and version 8 is supposed to come out this Fall, which may be compatib
You don't have to believe, the truth is the truth. I, too, have seen with my own two eyes and ha
years experience as an MT. I say misfortune because MTs with this much experience usually have gigantic egos and feel like they've "seen it all and done it all." They simply don't make mistakes. Not possible, no way. This particular MT became irate with me. She actually threw her 20+ years experience in my face and said "I've been doing this for over 20 years, I think I know what I'm doing!" It was painfully obvious, she did not have a clue. She'd been doing it wrong for 20 years and no one ever told her, so she thought she was right.
I had another MT with 10 years experience call me to scream at me and hung up on me when I tried to explain her errors to her.
The plain truth is, some people can't take criticism whether it be constructive or destructive. They don't like to be wrong or be told their wrong. Egos get in the way. We are all guilty of letting our egos get in the way from time to time, but in this field, you need to be willing to admit you're wrong and you need to be able to accept criticism gracefully and give criticism diplomatically.
As an editor, I encourage MTs to let me know if they disagree with any corrections I've made. I am happy to provide MTs with my reference materials and resources. I am happy to admit when I am wrong and I am happy to say that I make mistakes too. Just don't try to tell me that an MT with 16 years experience can't possibly be making terminology mistakes - she can and probably has in the past and will again in the future.
This is why I uploaded the 4.15 version. It's a previous version

Wait a minute, I'm not just talking about the boards, I'm talking about the news article.
Specifically,
"JLG has a contract with Arrendale Associates/ A+Network/CBay Scribe, which the group says is in India.
A letter from JLG to Barbara Dingman, chief compliance officer and director of health information management, says all medical transcriptionists assigned to the Medical Center Hospital account live in the U.S. and all work is done in America."
But yet they do business with Arrendale/A+/CBay, what am I missing here?
Works is a dumbed down version of Word and Excel. You get the full version of Word in the Suite.
The Works Suite is a cheaper way of getting a full version of Word if you don't want or need the other applications in Office.
I'm talking about MT school, not K-12, which is where I learned most of what you are talking abou
My clients DO NOT LIKE IT when I correct their wrong crap - did you actually read what I said?

Ain't it the truth!!
This is just too much fun!
Yes, that's the truth.... Think about this...
When you play by the rules, work hard, and pay your own way, you are penalized. When you have 4 kids by age 20, never marry, never finish school, and sit on your butt with an occasional ambulation to the mail box for a free check, you get priority over everyone else. Our society REWARDS poor choices an penalizes those who try to play by the rules and do things in the right order.
Isn't that the truth
If you don't give your name, who is going to talk to you in the first place.
Anyone have connections with a nurses UNION who might be interested in taking us on!!!
That is the truth
I know first hand because I was on it, and off it and went what was left for me to do on my account was so bad, I went back on it again. I wanted off again when the letter came out and I was told remember what happened when you went off it the last time, your primary account is worse now, more doctors have been added to the ASR.
The truth is....
We've only been doing modern measurements of temperature and weather for a little over 100 years. If the arrival of Man on earth is only the last few seconds of a 24-hour period of time of the earth's history (figuratively speaking), then 100 years of measuring weather and temperature is nothing more than a nanosecond, if that. And if you do some research there are prior periods of very active hurricaine seasons in the 50s and 60s, and even prior to that. The Atlantic was very quiet from 1970 to 1993 and then a new cycle has begun, reverting back to the pattern of the 50s and 60s. As I said before, the Earth is an ever changing dynamic place where weird things happen, and there isn't always a reason that we can explain or influence.
More truth
Will global warming increase the frequency or intensity of hurricanes in the future?
Just about everyone is now aware of climate change, so when an extreme weather event occurs, it is not unusual for people to ask if it is the result of global warming. Because of the link between higher ocean temperatures and hurricanes, there is speculation that hurricanes will increase in frequency or intensity in a warmer world, with higher wind speeds and greater precipitation. As stated above, the frequency of hurricanes has not increased on average over the long term. However, scientists believe that global warming will result in more intense hurricanes, as increasing sea surface temperatures provide energy for storm intensification. An MIT study published recently in Nature provides the first data analysis indicating that tropical storms are indeed becoming more powerful over time.
Higher ocean temperatures may also influence the tracks of hurricanes, increasing the likelihood of hurricanes tracking through the Caribbean or making landfall on the U.S. east coast. Although his phenomenon is not very well understood, a track of unusually deep and warm water appears to have led Katrina directly to the Gulf Coast when it struck Louisiana and Mississippi.
Was the 2004 hurricane season more active than normal?
The National Hurricane Center predicted that the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season would see above normal tropical storm activity, with 12-15 named storms, 7 reaching hurricane strength. This prediction was close but conservative, as there were 15 named storms and 9 hurricanes. The National Hurricane Center described this number of events as “well above-normal activity.”
The number of hurricanes making landfall in the U.S. (four: Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne) was also above normal. Monetary damages from these events exceeded $40 billion and were concentrated in Florida, which had never before experienced more than three hurricanes in a single season.
Back to Top
How does the 2005 hurricane season compare so far?
The National Hurricane Center has predicted significantly greater activity for 2005, with 18-21 tropical storms and 9-11 hurricanes projected, 5-7 of which are expected to reach category 3 or greater. So far the season is exceeding expectations; as of September 15, the following activity had occurred:
· 15 named tropical storms
· 7 hurricanes
· 3 major hurricanes (Dennis, Emily, Katrina).
· The earliest date on record by which four named tropical storms formed (Arlene,
Bret, Cindy, Dennis formed before July 5)
· The earliest date on record by which 2 category 4 hurricanes occurred (Dennis
formed July 4-7; Emily formed July 10-16))
· The most destructive hurricane in U.S. history (Katrina)
· Almost half the season yet to come
The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season has the potential to be the most active season on record. Bookmark this page to get updated information as the season develops.

that's the truth and they get one sm
price to transcribe it and the editors fix it all up nice and pretty. Its a joke all the way around. I would quit and scrub toilets before I would edit any work from over there!
Let the truth be known......
Maybe it went overseas....just like the other companies who all of a sudden do not have work. There was a post a few weeks ago that said they did.
Ain't that the truth!
None of them pay us what we're worth!
How about just because it's the truth?
If you're doing BUSINESS from home, BUSINESS rates are what you should pay?!
Gotta be able to run with the Big Dogs if you get off the porch!
The truth
Having been a court reporting student, I can tell you any online course would be a complete waste of your time. You definitely need a class to go to each and every day.
Court reporting is exceedingly hard to learn and takes a lot of time. It takes great discipline to learn it and to build up your speed. If you think you can take an online course to become a court reporter, you're only fooling yourself and throwing away good money.
And yes, job prospects are great for court reporters, and the pay is excellent, but you have to be GOOD!
Here's the truth: Although I have met many SM
smart MTs through the years, I have met an equal number of dumb-as-rocks-in-a-box MTs. You know, the ones who can't do anything without specific direction (hit this key and then that key), can't solve even the simplest of problems, etc.

The Estimated IQ's of American Presidents-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor:
This email claims that a think tank in Pennsylvania determined the IQ's of American presidents from Franklin D. Roosevelt to George W. Bush, rating bush as the lowest and Bill Clinton as the highest.
The Truth:
This was written from the fantasies of someone who adores Bill Clinton and doesn't think much of George W. Bush. The "think tank" is not identified and there is no such service as Bakersville News, a reporter named Jennifer Borenstein, a sociologist named Werner Levenstein, or a psychiatrist named Patricia Williams involved in any such project. Rich Buhler, the founder of TruthOrFiction.com and a former member of the news media says, "Take it from me. This eRumor was not written by anybody who has ever been a professional journalist. The style betrays the hoax as much as the misinformation."
A real example of the story as it has been circulated:
The Intelligence of our Presidents
Bakersville News Service 6-28-01 12:32 PM CST
by Jennifer L. Borenstein
The intelligence of our presidents has never been seriously scrutinized at any time in our history until now. There is a widespread perception that President G. W. Bush is not qualified for the position he holds. That increasing awareness by the people has led to a study of the intellectual ability of all presidents for the past fifty years.
There have been twelve presidents in that time, from F. D. Roosevelt to G. W. Bush. All were rated based on scholarly achievements, writings that they alone wrote, their ability to speak effectively, and a number of psychological factors.
The conclusions of the study, conducted by an independent think tank located in Scranton, Pennsylvania were surprising. This think tank includes high caliber historians, psychiatrists, sociologists, scientists in human behavior, and psychologists. Among their ranks are Dr. Werner Levenstein, world-renowned sociologist, and Professor Patricia A. Williams, a world-respected psychiatrist. All members of the think tank are experts at being able to detect a person's IQ from the criteria stated earlier.
After four months of research, these learned men and women have determined the IQs of each president within a range of five percentage points. The IQs listed below are the norms for each president.
147 Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)
132 Harry Truman (D)
122 Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)
174 John F. Kennedy (D)
126 Lyndon B. Johnson (D)
155 Richard M. Nixon (R)
121 Gerald Ford (R)
175 James E. Carter (D)
105 Ronald Reagan (R)
099 George HW Bush (R)
182 William J. Clinton (D)
091 George W. Bush (R)
The non-partisan researchers who evaluated the twelve presidents determined that the six Republican presidents for the past 50 years had an average IQ of 115.5, with President Nixon having the highest IQ, at 155.
President G. W. Bush was rated the lowest of all the Republicans with an IQ of 91.
The six Democrat presidents had IQs with an average of 156, with President Clinton having the highest IQ, at 182. President Lyndon B. Johnson was rated the lowest of all the Democrats with an IQ of 126. The margin of error is plus or minus five percent.
This study was initiated on February 13, 2001 and completed on June 17, 2001.
This study validated the widespread feeling of people about the sitting president. President Bush was rated low because of his inability to command the English language, his lack of any scholarly achievements, and an absence of anything authored by him that would reflect an intellectual effort.
TRUTH
Just like in transcription, we learn the meanings of words and apply them in our work. TRUTH, the definition, is that which is from God for all people for all time, and his son and his passion is the truth, and the life.
Just tell her the truth!
If you tell her what happened and that you feel very uncomfortable around her husband you will get everything out. Don't just let it go to spare her feelings or your friendship. What is so fun about hanging out with a friend and her husband when you are nervous and appauled the whole time. If she gets mad at you and doesn't believe you, she isn't a friend worth keeping. If she values the fact that you told her the truth, she is a keeper. You also need to confront him. Tell him that he does not deserve a woman such as his wife and that even though she may be blinded, you know what kind of person he really is. 
there is truth to this
we got a letter from our company president for MT Week; in it he tells us to take care of ourselves, exercise, watch our weight, eat right. There are many health problems related to not doing this, obesity and bad food choices, and being sedentary lead to diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, problems breathing, back problems, and these are partially responsible for rising healthcare costs. Take care of yourself, people.
Here's the truth--SM
I am not here to train anyone. I expect that since my company has a strict requirement on how much and what type experience an MT has, gives a comprehensive test and talks to the MT that they have certain basic skills.
If you got someone to take your test for you, lied on your resume and bluffed your way through the phone call, that's not my problem. Here is the work--you can do it or you can try to bluff your way through it too.
You said all the same things below in response to my other post. What I've found is that people who have attitudes like yours are usually the people who are guilty of not researching and leaving tons of blanks. When confronted, they bluster and blow smoke about how I get paid to fill in all their hard work, they are just EXCELLENT TRANSCRIPTIONISTS--it's a joke. You know it and I know it.
Here's more truth for YOU ...
the more that you talk, the more that your attitude shows, and the more that MY POINT is made.
truth or not
I am American, will not post or place ad for job on a nonAmerican site, except to state my displeasure. Try to find a job on this site when all posts are answered by off shore applicants. Try to find a job that does not off shore when run by off shore company.
You may not care about our jobs, education and economy BUT I DO. Do not come on here for years stating how you dislike off shore and then defend the change - NO WAY I am not a hypocrite. I will always post displeasure

Truth
is a relative thing. What you are receiving here and most message boards is opinion. This opinion could be sour grapes at a particular company, or the actual truth about working conditions at a company.
There are no guarantees when you take a job in this field or any other. There are bad bosses everywhere and bad co workers. There are also very good ones.
I think sometimes people are looking for someone to tell them that this is the perfect company in all ways. What is good for one is not necessarily good for another. Take the opinions with your other research as you look into a company, but do not rely on them solely.
