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.
l

Ummm, I was siding with AMA.
t

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..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.

Ummm... How about 3 months! And love it!

Not yet used concentration camps? Ummm...
::: Sound of me rustling through my kitchen drawers:::

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!

MedQuist NE

Would appreciate specifics about why people say to stay away from the northeast offices of MedQuist. What region is a good one?

Quit last job and would appreciate any info about a good company.

Thank you

It was enlightening to read your Imail - Email?? I'm just as confused as you are. - and I was ready to throw in the towel(or something). I have been doing this almost 12 years also. The changes being made are baffling - but since it has been a great 12 years so far, maybe a few more months will be best at this point. I am old enough to know that change can be painful at times. Since I love this work and feel as though I accomplish something in the process I am going to stay with it, thanks to you. To make things worse, I have been on vacation for a while. Who knows what's going on since I left. May need to take a course in transcription. Oh, oh I started the sentence wrong, didn't I. - Is that 1 point off or 2 (or is it two?) Good grief!!

RSVP and have a good day.

I'm not surprised. Getting a raise is like pulling teeth out of a lion's mouth - it just doesn't happen easily at all. You have to beg for a raise at MQ and even when you do ask, you either get ignored or put off.

QA for MedQuist

I am considering becoming a QA for MedQuist instead of a transcriptionist for them. does anybody have any experience doing this for MedQuist and, if so, any advice? Should I do it? Is it profitable?

thanks,

QA for MedQuist
i really would rather not say, i'm just wondering myself if anybody had experience in this position.

MedQuist...
Radiology (I know, I know - they're awful and foul and terrible and bad and icky according to others so I'll go ahead and flame myself here:

)....but it sure works as a company for me!

not according to MedQuist
If the doc says cc, they want cc. I learned this after converting to mL for about two weeks.

As I have said before - I am busy UNlearning everything I learned in school....oh well.

Dear Duck, Dear MQMT, and Dear MQ Slave:

I would like you to collectively pull your heads out of the 14 feet of sand that they are in and do a search on this MTStars website about the r-e-a-l-i-t-i-e-s of MedQuist. Your comments are would be hilarious if they were not so sad and profoundly ignorant. Do the search. Then, gosh, you might know what the fuss is all about, goobers.
