Ummm..Am I missing the significance of something here? So, they get 20 cpl? Is there something

Good for them - good for all of them. I've dabbled in UMDNJ dictators, and you couldn't pay me 30 cpl to do it! Yuck.

Thank you, for seeing the significance...
That was the point - how rapidly this could all happen, now that the technology is perfected.
If there are MTs who have no care about it, that is terrific for them; perhaps they have something to fall back on (I personally do not have anything yet to support myself with, other than my job as an MT at a national). Maybe they are holding out as to what they know.
I personally now of MTs who use VR for their jobs at nationals and get obscene line counts and makes tons of money. That is a great option, but it should be across the board. Perhaps the MTSOs should send us that equipment along with the standard...
When this goes down, I think it will be so fast. Just like with the capitation in the hospitals - it was years in planning, (which VR has been) but the actual employees, at the hospital I worked at anyway, were not told about it until the day we were handed pink slips and asked to leave and not make a scene (over 150 hospital employees were let go in 2 days).
Even in the advanced HIM magazine there are always articles about hospitals (or should I say 'corporations) complaining their biggest cost is transcription. They hate paying for it. To them it is a huge waste of money that could be spent elsewhere (not to better patients, either, in my opinion).
Where has all that money gone that the hospitals have saved, anyway, by cutting nurses, patient care, outsourcing ancillary departments, etc etc...? Must be millions of dollars, probably in one hospital alone.
I'm not sure of the significance, but
Maternal grandfather born 05/14/1900. He had 2 grandsons born same date 60 years later (2 different daughters).
Husband and son both 30 years apart, 1950 and 1980.
My daughter and I are 30 years apart, 7/5/57 and 7/8/87. Check out that pattern.
My paternal grandmother died at age 30 on 07/05 during the birth of my aunt. My dad was 7.
The day I was born 07/05, I stopped breathing and was coded. I can only imagine what my dad was going through on that day, the same date his mother passed.
He didn't tell me until a few years after my daughter was born how anguished he was before her birth with the date being so close to 2 very traumatic events in his life.
No wonder he was superstitious.
I'm not sure if the numbers mean anything, but my family has a lot of numerical coincidences goin' on.
Who recognizes the significance...
of a Word board, and the intended purpose? Is it truly beyond comprehension for some? The administrator posts nearly daily to USE THE WORD BOARD, and a select few just can't seem to comprehend that fact. Please take word or phrase help elsewhere so the rest of us who see that you can't be bothered take the time to adequately use resources (or who are having fun playing with 'practice tapes' at others expense) don't have to scroll down to see what people who DO follow rules have to say.
I'll bet you leave shopping carts in the middle of parking lots, too.
Ummm
The animals need to be hunted or they would overpopulate areas. It has to be done.
Ummm...
 ---not!
Ummm, sorry
This is the main board where everyting but MT related topics are discussed (haven't you noticed?). Good luck on getting a response. Try asking a dumb question...like, how many of you guys work while wearing pink rollers in your hair while wearing sky blue jammys...and you will get TONS of responses. Kinda odd isn't it?
Ummm, because the
*woman* called her husband's cell phone. His friend involved OPs husband in his nonsense. Husband shared this info with OP. She has ever right to have an opinion on this and consider it a situation she wants to watch closely.
ummm...
"Do you give up your life to take care of an aging parent..." hello, what did your parents give up to take care of you. If you're a parent, then you know first hand what they gave up...a whole heck of a lot! How selfish! 
Ummm....
Of course it is the company who is to blame.
I was an MT for a long time before becoming a QA person and I know what it is like. But I also know that I did my research and only sent to QA when absolutely necessary.
The MTs that I am referring to are not brand new MTs. They are not mentees by any means. They are "seasoned" MTs who have been at the company as long as I have. That's where my problem lies.
I have no problem teaching MTs and showing them where to look - it's when they don't listen and don't look anything up that is the problem. That's all.
Ummm, I should know this one.
....but I don't. Let me think... I have Windows Defender, which I guess is for anti-spyware and any other unwanted software; I have real-time protection with that and it performs a full scan each night. I run the Windows Live OneCare regularly, but not constantly; I'm not really sure what all that scans for, but it seems to find a lot of things and fixes them. I have PC Tools Registry Mechanic, but that only finds faulty files (and usually a lot of them) and fixes them.
Now that I put it all down like this and started really looking, I realize I don't actually have any anti-virus software installed on my computer, but no viruses have been detected on the other scans, either.
I have been having "sluggish" problems for quite some time, which is why I started looking for programs and how I ended up with Defender, OneCare, and Registry Mechanic, none of which took care of the problem (or made it any worse).
Looks like I have my work cut out for me. Like I said, I'll start with the list of ideas posted previously and see where that takes me. Thanks again.
Ummm.... let me see if I have this right -
You stated, 'I'm working twice as hard for a quarter of the pay I used to get.'
And you're concerned about something 'not being fair to your employers?' Why? They certainly aren't being fair to YOU.
Well, er, ummm, I can't stay away. Let's just say that.

Ummm, I was siding with AMA.

Ummm......what's up with this .06 - 0.8 cents....
....per line for ICs? Maybe to start as an employee. But an IC? What's up with THAT? Are people falling for it?
Ummm...you need to talk to someone about this!
Why would anyone need this info? That is too strange. I would call a lawyer or another bank and find out about it. Did they SELL you the insurance or what?
Ummm...you know I would! Can I have the whole recipe?

ummm....McDonald's?

Ummm, some MT's run their own businesses...
which was exactly the kind of advice she was asking for..
your life may be narrowed down to only MT but some of us do much, much more
Ummm, yeah!
Of course it is entered by doctors and nurses. Yes, a lot of the information is not entered correctly. I encounter this each day having access to EMR. It does not surprise me. No one seems to care. 
Ummm, forgot about him. Yummy again!

Ummm... How about 3 months! And love it!
Ummm, go to the Medquist board.

Not yet used concentration camps? Ummm...

Would you like that tinfoil hat in size medium or small? Extra small?
Sheeeeesh...
(I love Google desktop, too! If the government wants to spy on my wacky life of children and recipes and medical transcription and Arbonne business, they're welcome to do so, as long as they don't mind being bored to death...)
Ummm, nope. I never heard of it in all of NJ!

ummm...I still say it depends on a lot of things..and yes, how much do you and can you do. sm
I am a parent of three. But I have the opportunity to have a break by getting a babysitter when my husband and I would like to have an evening out. My in laws are never able to do that. They pay a private nurse 900.00 a week for in home care while they are at work. They can not afford to have her come so they can take a night off or attend a family function. My kids, as well as my sister in laws kids adore their grandpa and grandma, but never get to spend time with them because they are nursing and taking care of her mother. Everyone needs a break once in awhile and they dont get one. Taking care of an ill or aging parent takes a lot of energy, time, money, et cetera. I know that is what they did for you..but isnt that a little different? They chose to have children and take care of them. You did not chose to take care of an aging sick parent and spend the next 10 years or more staring out the window while life is passing you by. No I am not selfish. I am just looking at both points of view. Nursing homes are a great value...if you can find one that has qualified loving staff--just as if you were to use a daycar for your children. My mother has worked at a nursing home for 35 years now. She loves her job and often goes in on her time off to be with some of the residents. There is nothing wrong with nursing homes so that families may have a life.
Ummm...last I checked, WinAmp does not

ummm, the anonymous post below
gives her actual instructions. I tried them and they worked. Thanks!
Ummm, since MGMT's reply was so quick to try and nip this post in the bud, I'm not
exactly feeling real confident about asking them at this point. I had the feeling if it was something MGMT had wanted us to know, we would've received notification from them at the time it occurred, such as was done when other changes in mgmt happened. I had also thought that was one of the purposes for having an anonymous board such as this--to get straight answers without fear of reprisal.
Ummm, $98K, 30 hours a week. I believe that is what this poster is talking about. uh huh LOL. nm

Ummm...that's hemoglobin, not hemaglobin; platelets, not platlets (nm)
Ummm and you live in America? You need to set your sights a little higher than that hon
because I read in an economy mag that you are going to be paying close to 4.00 for a gallon of gasoline soon. You can't survive on 35,000 a year with prices like that. Milk will go up to 6.00 a gallon - everything will rise because it takes GAS to get the goods to us. Good luck.
Ummm 10.00 per month compared to earning 800.00. No not free, but might as well be. BUT look aroun
server software IS free BTW: I find my solution EXTREMELY simple!!
I spend a good deal of time tweaking the ones in there so ummm, may give it a shot lol

Ummm--read her post again, please--it don't say *keyboard* short cuts..it says *word* shortcuts
duh!
Thank you! Do you know if the missing
girl was alive or not? I sure hope so.
What's missing?
I haven't noticed any that are missing.
Am I missing something?
Where does it say that Amphion is using Interfix to send work overseas? As I read it, Amphion has used this company which HAPPENS to be branching out to Trinidad and Tobago, but I see nothing that connects the two. The statements in bold don't say anything except InterFix has helped Amphion interface more effectively.
Am I missing something here? sm
Employees pay their own taxes just like independent contractors. The only additional tax the IC pays is the employer's 50% portion of FICA which, if I remember correctly, is 7.5%. I fail to see why so many are under the impression that as an employee the employer 'pays' their taxes. I've been an IC for 2 years now and have seen my taxable income decrease due to the numerous deductions I'm eligable for. (We have an accountant do our taxes for us, whose fee is a business expense/tax deduction/overhead item - whatever it's called. That's why I use an accountant!) Lately it seems that many are opting for employee status, which is fine, but I'm not sure that an accurate picture is being given of the ICs gross vs net income.
Missing your dad....
I can't say I know what your going through, because I don't, but I wanted you to know that I read your message and I am so sorry. Do you have any grief counseling in your area you could attend or a pastor at your church you could talk with? I'm 45 and my dad is 71 and I know that day could come at any time for me too. Hang in there WIMT. Are you in Wisconsin? I am too. If you need someone to just talk to you can feel free to contact me, just give me your email address and I'll e-mail you directly. I'd be happy to listen if you need me.

Went missing
Does it bother anyone else that TV shows, news reporters and newspapers are saying "He went missing last week..." Shouldn't it be "He has been missing since last week...?" I've asked friends and family, but they don't notice. I figure transcriptionists are more aware of grammar than regular people. It makes me crazy when they talk about someone "going missing." They're not going anywhere, they're just plain missing!!
missing
I first heard someone on a local news station say it last year. Now I hear it everywhere? Where did that phrase come from? I guess I "went missing" when that phrase was invented. Irritates me too. Oh, and so does Nancy Grace whether she is saying went missing or anything else.
I'm missing something
If you billed April in May, shouldn't you have received the money from when she helped you?
And did you have a contract set up with her.
I would just pay her the $100.
What am I missing?????
What's the deal with someone going out of town? or not letting the employer know?? Is this person an IC or an employee? and why is it that so many "employer's" do not understand that they cannot dictate hours of work to an IC? maybe this is the case? I know I have dealt with plenty like that. Perhaps, I am wrong - I know I missed something somewhere in all of this.
Maybe I'm missing something here.
"...my WAV pedal is acting in the same manner - tap the pedal to listen and tap it to stop the dictation." That's how mine works so what do you want to do differently? How did it work before?
you bet I do, but you are missing sm
the point. I think knowledge and experience should pay a whole lot more. My point is if you do learn all you can and can do every kind of report type and do it with an excellent report then you will not have the problem of not being able to make any money when the companies are only paying 8 cpl. The pay is not going to get better anytime soon. I know there is the exception to the rule and the companies, mostly smaller companies, who pay more but there are so many larger companies that are paying the 8 cpl. Personally to do OP reports all day long I think I should be making 15 cpl! Wouldn't that be nice but it isn't happening and I am perfectly ok making 8 cpl and doing what I do for now. Its better than no job at all.
I may be missing something, but I'm

where would you be if your daughter was missing (sm)
in another country? The posts on down the board are appalling, some of them anyways! I would hope that any parent in their right mind would be right there, no matter where "there" is, if their child were missing. I know I'd be whereever I had to be. I could not rest until I was there, waiting and helping to find my child. I'd go to the ends of the earth to get my daughter back, no questions asked. And maybe people are donating money to them so they can stay in Aruba and help find their daughter, as well as keep their lives going back here at home. Where has compassion gone? It's truly sad that we ridicule people for simply wanting desperately to find their lost child. Just Sad.
Me neither! Ha! We must both be missing something! Maybe we should try the warm
milk? Blech...sounds gross! Actually, I'm just getting rolling now - my morning - so am having coffee! If I were to have sounded irritated, certainly my irritation would be 100% to the dang fool recruiter who pulled this "faux paus" on the poor woman in the first place. Now, if you want to get me irritated, just get me yamming about recruiters...currently my FAVORITE people in our industry...I can't find the appropriate face-thingie to express pure disdain....How about, PEW!!
missing lines
I have had lines missing and they always pay me on the paycheck. It never shows on my lines but when I get paid it is added to my lines.
missing girl
I did miss some of it, but if the missing girl was the man's daughter, then she was alive. His daughter was the one at the beginning with the ring in her nose. Maybe someone else who saw the whole thing can fill in the details.
They are the same thing or else I am missing something.
The music is nice, the pictures are nice but what in the world is the message? Not worth the time...sorry.
