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?

Eewwww... you don't talk like an MT, you talk like mangement. Ick. (n/m)
:p
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.
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 know I would! Can I have the whole recipe?
nm
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!
Ummm, go to the Medquist board.

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
dd
Ummm--read her post again, please--it don't say *keyboard* short cuts..it says *word* shortcuts
duh!
Can someone talk to me?
I'm really depressed and need someone; no religious stuff, though.
At what point should one give up one's children if you feel you aren't giving them a good life?
I will talk to you.
I will talk to you. Why do you feel your children are not getting what they deserve from you? Would you like to chat on the chat line? It would be easier to carry on a conversation. I know the one constant in life is that things are always changing, so what is making you depressed now could change at any time. Let's talk.
Talk to you.
I think to give up a child so that it can have a better life takes a lot of love. I don't think anyone does this to be mean or selfish. It's the most unselfish thing a person can do. Is this your child? How old?
Doc's talk to me
I do about 15 doctor's and I have at least 10 that do talk to me. Only one is a griper, the rest are real friendly and always tell me nice things, plus call me by name, which is a + in my book.
need a pep talk
I am feeling so rotten about myself and my MTing abilities today. I got an E-mail from quality control about several errors in a report and complaints from that particular hospital on this one report. Apparently, I had put she in several spots that should have been he. I also did not fill out the demographics screen. I guess I am getting ahead of myself with this produce, produce, produce thing. I suppose it is time to slow down. Anyone else had a slap on the wrist and felt horrible and then just feel so unsure of yourself that you just feel like you need to put the keyboard up for a while? 
So what do YOU want to talk about?
You should talk about it with them.
Why do families act like idiots after a death regarding the items left behind?
Let's Talk
I've been in this business since 1981. For many years I felt it was the greatest opportunity I could have ever had with a high school education only. I was trained on-the-job by a teaching hospital. You know what I mean, the money-making career without the college. Well, that worked out all and well until a few years ago (or maybe more, I was busy having kids and lost track of my mind...lol) when I noticed that suddenly companies were trying to rip off transcriptionists. And I don't mean a few, I mean MOST. In trying to look for a job with benefits, because I got divorced, I was thinking to myself, what the heck happened.....and was also thinking, surely these are just transcriptionists who have been burned. NOT SO. The medical Transcriptionist has been lost....we are made to feel as secretaries, time wardens, ESL experts, etc. I am totally baffled by it. BECAUSE, we are professionals, we really are. How many people do you know could sit down and do what we do? It is specialized, it should be treated as a profession, yet company after company is offering not much more than 8 cpl. HELLO??? Are you kidding me??? I should just go get a job at McDonald's.....I am serious, I am so furious right now I can't see straight. This is pitiful. I now am truly sorry I even ever entered the transcription profession. Let's all walk away and see where they are then!!! Okay, thanks for the vent. I AM SO FRUSTRATED.
Just talk with them
They have probably had to set up other people, I would call and talk with the person that asked me if I was looking for more work and explain to them that you have usually just been on the other end and what you have that you are working with now, am assuming you have the pedal and you download from your large service, well if they are digital then they will just upload and you will go on some site and download your files. But don't let this opportunity get away from you as when they need someone usually the first warm body that comes through the door is the one that they grab if they can do a half way decent job. But call and ask questions and do the research on what they are currently doing now. Good luck, let us know how it goes.
Need to talk to tax guy to see what U can/cant
n
you should probably talk to her,
given the HIPPA laws and what if somehow this ever goes to court (that would be my luck) and you actually have to go? Gone are the days when I typed my own path report because there wasn't anyone else to do it! and my own chest x-ray and mammogram, H&P and op note!
Seeing I talk back to sm
dictators, I'd probably just scream FU back at the computer screen.
You talk about QA being arrogant, BUT
You post all the time and it is very visible how much you are actually arrogant. You have such a terrible attitude and nasty mouth. Even as the abbreviation you used it is uncalled for. Your opinion is NOT the only one that matters. You are one person i would just LOVE to meet in person. I would be the first to put you in your place right then and there!
Do your docs talk 2U?
I have one doctor who, when she wants to correct something or other always says "This is an aside to the typist." ARGH. I feel like I'm in a Shakespeare play or something - don't those have a lot of "asides"? I always want to scream at her "Don't you know I'm not a TYPIST?? I'M A MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTIONIST, DAMN IT!!!!" Of course she's 80 or something so I shall forever be "the typist" to her.
I have a resident who always says "For transcriptionist, would you...." to get my attention - but when he was new I thought he was saying "Poor transcriptionist..." I always nodded my head in sad agreement until I realized what he was actually saying....
And then there's the doc who loves to complain about his job to me, sometimes in great detail - "Here I sit, waiting for some x-rays to come in so I can make a buck" and "I cannot believe this hospital."
They crack me up!     
docs talk to me
I always get one who says, "uh, secretary, please correct..." and then I have one who always says "oh, operator, could you kindly...." Does he think that because he dictates into a phone it's a telephone operator on the other end or what?
Where do you usually talk about productivity?
I don't see a board for increasing productivity. I usually just post questions on the main board but think I will get more information if I post questions on the board specifically for productivity.
TIA
Talk to a doctor
Find out what is the downside for YOU, then make your decision from there. Sounds simple, but I'd hate to have to make that decision. Godspeed.
Walk your own talk, then.
Why don't YOU take in all that trash if they're all just innocent victims of "the system". It's always someone else's fault, isn't it? You liberals never hold the parasites responsible for any of their own actions or any of the CHOICES they make. It's always the government's fault, or capitalism's fault, or the fault of people with money (you know, the ones who worked hard and EARNED their lifestyle). We're all supposed to keep paying through the nose so a bunch of parasites can breed generation after generation of parasites and no one is allowed to point out the truth. Fine. YOU let them all live with you.
has anyone ever had a recruiter talk down to them - sm
I cannot believe the way this woman spoke to me in such a condescending manner. She made herself sound so high and mighty, and yet all through the industry I had only heard good things about her. I applied for a position, was contacted by phone, and she told me that my EXTENSIVE 14 years experience, along with 3 years QA experience was not enough for their company. But it was the tone that she used! I am not a sensitive person in any way, but she made me feel like I was inadequate and had no business applying for a job with their company. When I told her what I made (which I said I could prove on my taxes and pay slips) she balked (?sp) as if I was making it up.
Has anyone else ever been through this?? I do not want to say the name of this person or the company because I do not think it is relevant.
