MQ true or false...FALSE
Yep, we are swamped in Ohio but no, that bonus was not offered this past weekend. Line bonus's were.
Opposites Attract!
Yep. Soon to be hubby used to wallow in dust and disarray totally oblivious to it. Kept his dishes clean but not too much else. However, got him to appreciate the concept of "clean" to the point where he now actually says, When is the last time you swept this floor? Look at it! He says it tongue in cheek, but the fact that he NOTICES is music to my ears, cuz I get lots of compliments after a simple 1/2 day of weekly housecleaning. He still throws things around, but not so much anymore. Hopefully your hubby will nudge over "to your side" in the future. Good luck!
Whatever it takes to attract the accounts
Do you really think that doctors want pictures of us sitting around in our jammies with a cup of coffee in hand saying "Thanks for the work doc, I'm ready to type!" Come on guys. Be easy on the poor model. She's just trying to make some cashola, too! I wish they would put ads for models on here. I'd apply to show them how fast I can type and still look cute!  LOL, just kidding of course, I would be too shy to apply. 
Agree with above 2 statements. sm
I also think the lack of quality of some MTs has reflected badly on all MTs. All MTs are thus stigmatized, looked down upon and we are not considered to be the professionals that we are and thus the whole industry has suffered.
Dubious of company statements
I noticed this trend - when any "protective" software I have is fixing to expire soon, suddenly I supposedly have all kinds of dangerous viruses and corrupted files - and am warned a few times a day that my system is going to implode and I can only avoid complete and utter destruction if I renew my contract or upgrade to their better and more expensive virus coverage. But when I delete their expired software and move on to another company, they don't find anything wrong with my system....until their free trial is ending soon, then the doom and gloom reports start again. The one real virus I got was while I had McAfee - and it somehow escaped their notice. I dumped McAfee a long time ago - but they still email me regularly trying to lure me back with paranoid propaganda.
The above are confirming my previous statements
Cannot leave the children but yet going down the drain unable to make a living. Sounds really smart to me.
Back your statements other then deluded and demented.

Good thing you kept all your wage statements. You'll have
a fight but at least you have the proof you'll need.
First post in response to mine only validates my statements and rests my case....Thank you!

False. They are training everyone for it but
LMAO,oooh gawd, you're just killing us here! LOL
False advertisng ..........
How can a company brag about their ability to meet or exceed HIPAA regulations if they offshore? There is just no 100% way they can guarantee such a thing because once it leaves this country, there are no laws governing those things in another country. To me that is just false advertising and very misleading to their customers, whom I question even know it is leaving these shores. 
unfortunately not false advertising.
It says UP TO $60K. When I worked FT, I made that much. Ahhh, those were the days!
MQ-True or False about Work
Can this be true???? My girlfriend who works out of the Ohio office left me a message saying that she had gotten a message over the week end from the Ohio office with the following incentive: For every 10 reports that you typed, you would receive 25 dollars--IS THIS POSSIBLE with all the rest of us out of work in Amherst--if there is so much work in Ohio, why are we not helping???
What you're saying is completely false.
Salary.com
Enter "Psychology" as your key word. Lowest I found in my area (Philadelphia, PA) was 62 grand a year. Plus just the respect that one gets from having a college degree is worth it!
Go back to school. I'm taking Psychology as well and can't wait to get off this dead-end life of MT.
"Faux" is French for false. - nm
.
Not to give you false hopes, but I actually
got my period for about 3 months with each of my 3 pregnancies. I also had faint lines on my pregnancy testers. I'm sure there are others out there who have had periods as well - just tune into your body for other symptoms of pregnancy - i.e. I always also suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum instantly and for 9 months for all 3. Yuck. Good luck to you! Keep the faith!
We have had to endure so many of their false alarms about warnings
that no one pays attention to any of them, including those that are obviously going to be a danger. People are tired of being told to live in fear of everything, so they ignore it.
I agree - it is a false sense of security.
There are pedophiles everywhere that aren't registered. I just can't believe that the laws aren't tougher on these people. Anybody could come up with $500 bail - that's like a slap on the wrist. This guy has made me very uncomfortable for a long time. Last Thanksgiving when we were out of town, he strung Christmas lights all over the house to "surprise the kids," and he brings them over Christmas presents every year. Thank God I have never let my children be alone with him. The next time my husband tells me I'm over-protective, I'll be sure to bring this up! Really, is there such a thing as over-protective in this day and age?
Not false info. I'm telling you we just changed this! lol
No more M-Tec and Andrews.
Could this be termed false advertising. Seems like a lot more people on the other board are saying
the same thing about MQ. If she is so religious as you claim why would she steer people to a company to have them not be able to pay their bills. Seems a bit odd to me.
Me, too. Only if I send receipt do they know it was read. False information.

You can also charge her with "filing a false report" with police.
The police offered us to do that against our neighbors because they call the cops on us any time we even have relatives over for our childrens' birthday parties. It's not like we get rowdy and drunk. We sit on the deck and eat food for two hours. Oh, dread.
Sue the wench in civil court. Call the police and ask them what you can charge her with.
So totally and completely false! Plenty of employers test who are not partners with top 3!

Tiny statements from a tiny mind.
We are trying to figure out how to get out of this screwy place without being screwed any more.
We met in high school. My high school sweetheart
introduced us in a discussion over Ford versus Chevy versus Dodge. I used to race my Dodge Coronet with oldstyle 318 V-8 engine against the guys on the back roads and old highways. High school boyfriend had a Chevy truck. DH had a Ford Fairlane and later an AMC Javelin that just made me swoon. We didn't actually start dating until three years later, and my old high school boyfriend was a bit surprised at that since he introduced us.
How about a High Five??!!

high 5!!
...Right on! I think many people who are gay bashers are really terrified of the unknown, terrified because they link gay people with sexual criminal behavior - pedophiles, rapists, you name it. I would not expect less of a gay person than I would a straight person when it comes to character and ethics. It is sad to see how many people are terrified of gays because they believe they have an "agenda" - out to turn the world gay!! haha!
It should be pointed out here that many gays have desires and needs just like us straight people - want to be loved, want to belong to someone, want to be committed to one person, want a home and family just like us. That should tell us something, right? Hey, for that matter, there are lot of straight people who will never want to settle down, love sleeping around, live a promiscious lifestyle, but it is only when that occurs in a gay person that it is magnified.
People can be so naive. Throughout time there have been gays in every walk of life - high ranking powerful politicians, ministers, high ranking military men, etc. Some just choose to keep it a secret. Just as I expect my straight friends to have character and ethics, so do my gay friends.
Judge people on their character, their morals, their ethics, not whether they are gay or straight.
high 5!!
...I knew there was a reason I liked you... fellow Leo
P.S. - coincidentally just before I came to the board I just popped in a CD of the 5th Dimensions - remember "Age of Aquarius? That's too funny!

Very high indeed!
I've never heard of anyone making more than .02-.03/cpl off of their subs. I'd say for you to either make some rules (times they can call, etc) and define exactly what you are willing to do for them. If they say no and you really don't care for the account any longer, then just let it go. If you really do want to keep it, the only thing I can suggest is to concentrate on how much YOU are making (and if it's worth it) instead of concentrating on how much THEY are making.
50% to me is very high
I could not look in the mirror if I took 50%, even beauticians when they used to work in a shot got 70/30 and they used the equipment of the shop. If she handles everything but the invoicing I feel you are taking advantage of someone and hopefully you can live with yourself and look in the mirror. I usually do 80/20 but then I pick up the tapes and deliver them to the IC, proof the work and invoice out, do all contact with the account. But to each their own.
wow... is it that high?
I'm making 10 cpl with my hospital and 12 CPL for my doctor's Office
which is 65 character line including spaces
However my office is now deciding they want to pay me a different way since we are completely switching systems and there is no way to do a line count... and now I HAVE NO idea how much to charge because he is thinking by the "minute". well I make almost ALMOST $2.00 a minute and haven't had a raise in seven years, so I'm really at a loss of what to do.
Oh I work for companies in California. Do you live in FL or CA or I don't understand... i mean when I look at the big companies they offer 7 or 8 CPL... am I missing something?! LOL
good luck :)
Okay HIGH FIVE!! ROFL

it could be due to the high turnover,
miserable platform, and low pay on the VR programs, and just generalized problems in the company, couldn't it?
with the gas prices going sky high and, therefore, (sm)
the prices of food and other items more than likely going to skyrocket, what is everyone doing to plan for this?
Wow! and I thought $3.19 was high. This is
insane. Thank goodness I've been working at home for the past year. My hubby has been at a job 3/4 a mile up the street for a year now too. A year ago we were both out of town and putting 100 combined miles a day just for commuting to work. I cringe to think how much that would cost us.
Good thing hubby can walk to work. Motor blew in our 2001 Ford ZX2. Maybe it was a good thing? Anybody out there need non-motor parts? Four brand new tires, new power steering pump, new struts, bearings, front and rear brakes, tie rod ends, fuel filter and windshield all in the past 6 months. One thing we forgot was the timing chain and that went and ruined the engine. 
Don't really need a car for work and I'm serious considering not even bothering to buy another one right now.
High Level 4
I don't know if we're allowed to post it or not on here, but it's very decent for the MT world, plus they supposedly do raises periodically without you having to beg.
He's in high school and STILL has to have
PB&J with grape jelly? Oh, please don't tell me that! I was hoping my son would outgrow his pickiness once he hit puberty. That's what the pediatricians and nutritionists told me! They said they had never seen a teenaged boy decline food. My son is SOOO picky! I call him a carbivore because he doesn't like meats or vegetables. He's got this taste/texture thing going on. My in-laws said that I was coddling him, so one of them tried to make him eat peas and beef stroganoff while watching him for me one day. He ate a couple of bites and, well, let's just say that nobody has tried to "force" the kid to eat since then. I don't let them watch him any more either. My mother says it's revenge because I was the same way as a kid.
I had no idea pay was ever that high
When you were up that high?
No, this isn't too high. Maybe too low. We're in the
I'm supposed to set aside 33% plus at least 7.5% (the other 7.5% is deductible) for self-employment taxes = total 40.5% of my pay goes to taxes. If I didn't have my DH get extra taken out of his paycheck ($75 a week), I'd have to pay this in quarterly estimates, because if you end up owing too much compared to last year, they will penalize you. I've read too many horror stores on MT boards of MTs who didn't pay their taxes or set money aside. I'd rather pay as I go.
It's probably not high, generally, but
if you're a single person with those expenses and work only as an MT, even for two more companies these days, it's HIGH.
Are you at a high altitude? (sm)
If you're at a high altitude, use Crisco in place of butter in your recipe.
my first job out of high school - sm
I went to try to find a job at a local hospital. They gave me a typing test, had the word "toxicology" in it, and they hired me on the spot! Since then, I have never had to test in my life, and I have been doing this for 30+ years.
Now which one of you is high maintenance?
LOL
I too have high QA scores but the QA
percentage is killing me (over 30%). When work is low I am reluctant to take on another acct because once again all would go to QA and affect that percentage. I have decided to just type and not worry about my QA percentage for now, just continue to type and send quality work (of course when there is work).
Doc said CO2 88.4 - isn't that kinda high?
