We get docked by QA for not filling in the address

or carbon copies, EVEN if we've notated that we can't find it anywhere and leave a blank. I have to look things up on the website, in a word document, anywho.com, and Google to fill in blanks. The doctors mispronounce the names and don't spell them out. It's a waste of time, and time is money when you work production.

filling downloaded IRS forms
Okay, I'm supposed to be able to fill in the 1099-Misc form I just downloaded but for some reason I can't add any information. Am I missing a plug-in or something?>
I had a molar that had a filling from when I was a kid. The tooth
cracked and they put on a crown, but the tooth cracked below the surface and need a root canal. The couldn't get the crown off so had to drill through the crown. I had no pain during the procedure and very minimal discomfort after the procedure. He used some type of a drill bit with his hand to drill out the canal. The only thing I had a problem with was that he kept taking x-ray after x-ray to be sure he got all the root. I they they took at least 6 x-rays.
I hate going to the dentist, not because I'm afraid of what they do, but I've just had dentists who tell me I need work done that I don't need done. They just need a new boat or something. Anyway, other than having my mouth open for so long and the x-rays it wasn't an unpleasant experience.
Resumes and filling out applications
Hi all, I'd like to know if any of you have run into the same problem as I have when filling out applications and what you did about it. I have, from time to time, left MT work and applied for other jobs outside the home. Over the last few years, I have worked for a few MT services for a short time. I don't even remember the dates that I started working for each one and stopped. Some were so short (a few months) because it didn't work out for some reason (job wasn't as described or some other reason). How do you handle something like that on an application? You don't want to appear as though you job hop, but you know as well as I do how some services are and you CAN'T stay any longer working for them. I'm at a loss now, how to handle this on a job application.
Thanks for any help or advice.
errr...make that "feel like filling in"
see, we are human, we all make mistakes. We just get frustrated by the few - and I REPEAT Few! - MTs who abuse QA and then blame us for their inadequacies. I know that it is not most of you, most of you are awesome and I am humbled by your knowledge - but there are many others who are just plain lazy and should have chosen another line of work. You must understand our deep frustration.
I am filling out a job app and they want transcribed words per minute.
Thanks.
hit insert button before filling in fields.
see if that works for you. You will need enough space in between or you will type over the next field.
you also can do columns but I am not good at those; hopefully someone else will come along with info on that.
I most certainly never docked an MT a single dime SM
for errors or blanks. That is completely insane (I know companies do it, and my hospital used to do it till I took the helm).
No, it is NOT the norm. You shouldn't be docked for that! QA

Is it normal to have pay docked for errors? . .sm
I have been working at this company for a couple of months and they just sent me an e-mail telling us that if a report has the wrong date of service or gets rejected by the client for any reason, they are taking it out of our pay. I agree that we should be accountable for our errors but some of these reports are 20 to 30 minutes long. If the doctor does not dictate a date of service, we cannot leave it blank. We have to put something in and send it to QA. I really liked this company until they started this. (I'm an employee not an IC.) I guess the reason I am so worried is because about half the time there is no date of service dictated and I have to guess and send it to QA. What if they don't correct it and send it with the incorrect date? I know I need to ask my employer this. I was just wondering if this was normal. Thanks!
Would you work for a co. that docked your paycheck for blanks?
nm
I work for Spheris, was docked by QA for typing 02/13/08 as a date SM
instead of 2/13/08 (dictator said "two" not " O two", and I read this garbage!!! Holy crap batman...
Only a person who consistently leaves blanks because they are lazy should be docked.
Or maybe they should just be fired. The first place I ever worked docked us for errors that we should not have made. I was only docked a couple of times, and it was only a small amount, but it made me pay attention and be more careful, and I think it made be a better MT.
I wouldn't take a position that docked for errors. We're all human, not infallible.

Help that is with the address bar
see above....
IP address?
Satellite will be through Wild Blue (dish) Ok, what do you mean by static IP. Is this something i ask them for?
What is the site address?
//
again, I did only address certain MQrs (sm)
and again, the ones who continuously whine and complain regarding MQ-this and MQ-that, it's nerve racking! My point, and this is the last time I will state it, is it is embarassing FOR ME, mind you, speaking for no one else here, to be associated with these whiny babies! Simple enough for ya? I am not backtracking at all, I simply retracted one word that seems to have gotten SOME OF YA riled up! So there, and I am NOT AND WILL NEVER BE a Clinton fan. That ticks me off more than anything anyone could say to me!
Anyone out there who works for MQ agree with me? Please come to my defense!
I have address resources available, but
the dictating physician will often forget to say the doctor's first name, and there will be 20 Dr. So-and-sos listed. Or they spell the easy names like Smith, but not the difficult ones that they mangle the pronunciation on. Then they carbon copy six different physicians. I've got the hospital directory, online hospital website, online physician address lookup, Google, and other resources, but it's still very time consuming.
I'm thinking I like Meditech better. LOL At least everything was in there. F7, F10, arrow down, save, you're done.
E-mail address
I will be glad to send you a copy of the E-mail that they sent me. But everyother time anyone has E-mailed me from this board it always states either in the subject line or somewhere that it is in response to a post on the board. This definitely was not and there is nowhere else that Spheris could have gotten my address and see above there was someone else that got it also. So they are getting it someway.
Internet address
Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew how to delete internet addresses that are seen when you hit the drop down box. I have a bunch of them that aren't valid anymore, and I want to get rid of them. Sorry, I don't know the technical wording, but hopefully you know what I mean. Thanks.
Can you post the web address please?
thanks
This will be the last time I will address
this because you are all so stupid you can't get it through your brains (?), I am one person and that is it. I say exactly what I want. I don't need anybody elses help on this board.
Can the ISP track to an address?
I didn't think it could. That would be great though. I feel bad for this person.
address change

Not sure this is what you are looking for.
Sorry leaving address
I have almost five years experience, still probably considered a newbie when I see some with almost 5 to 6 times that much. But I just wanted to email someone who knows more about transcriptions companies than I do at present.
just need your your e-mail address
The Quick Reference (PDF format) I send via email. The manual is too large so I'll give you a link to go to and download it from.
Your e-mail address is ALL SHE NEEDS. (nt)
If I could address both posters ... sm
ALS: I read your post to my husband, who works on computers for a living, and he said it sounds like you lost an entire partition. I know that's not helpful and probably something you already figured out, but just wanted to offer something here. He also suggested running a virus scan as it sounds like something a virus might have caused. I sincerely wish you luck and hope that your files can be recovered. You might want to consult a local technician.
To the other poster: I am so sorry for your losses and I can't begin to imagine what you and your children have gone through. It sounds like today was difficult, to say the least. I think we've all been guilty at one time or another for saying something maybe we shouldn't have because of something going on within ourselves. I also send you sincere good wishes.
Do you have the exact web address? Please em it to me. Thanks! nm

lost my address bar
I can't seem to get it back! I have windows XP. I've played around with the toolbars but I can't find my address bar! 
Any help would be appreciated for this technically challenged MT.

Did you get physical address??
Did you get the name of her company and the physical address? Phone number? There is a lesson to be learned here -- you still need to get all of this info in case something like this happens again. Unless you have a physical address you cannot send a demand letter with return receipt or serve her with papers or anything. Hopefully you do have that and can send her a written certified letter demanind payment within 10 days. Then onto small claims court. But none of this is possible without a physical address. Good luck. If you have her full name or business name and city -- you might be able to do a search to find a phone number. Did her check to you have a phone number on it? I always take a copy of the front of checks at least the first one so that I have their account number, etc. Also shows payment. Let us know how it comes out.
Needing help- how to get IP address
Here in the SE AT&T had internet outage this week and now 1 of my computers is asking for the IP address, trying to get back on line. Where to find this? TIA.
If they had your correct address sm
and they mailed to wrong address then I would say yes - if post office error - then no. But they should get another one to you ASAP anyway!!
No where in my post did I address
I think you need to redirect your comments to the appropriate person. I was not approving or condoning her actions. I really don't think this lady understands why everyone is so upset with her (maybe a little thick). I was simply trying to point out what in her post has made everyone so upset.
I was also trying to offer some legal solutions to her problems. Not to mention, that her kids do deserve kudos for serving their country.
Next time you decide to post, make sure you direct your comments to the right person. Some people get a little too excited on this board and make comments in haste that are often misdirected, as in your case.
No, There is no change of address.

Upin address
I have this address for upin, and just checked it and it is up and running.
http://upin.ecare.com/
PS: You can Google her address and get - sm
a map & driving directions right to her door. Or, if all you have is her phone number, Google that, or try a reverse directory. Even if it's unlisted, you can probably narrow down her vicinity by area code & first 3 digits of the number. Then look up local office supply stores in the area - Staples, Office Depot, etc., see if she has an account with any of them. You might get lucky. If all else fails, a P.I. can probably locate her for you. I've had good luck with running down people in-person. Got one in a restaurant entertaining other clients, and one at work on her payday. Got paid IMMEDIATELY by embarrassing the hold U-know-what out of them in front of their peers. If all else fails, sue. $12,000 might not be Small Claims Court, though. Still that's 'way too much money to just walk away from and write off as a loss. And the longer you wait, the harder it will be to catch her.
'Go SIC 'em, girl!'
email me your address
I would be happy to give you mine. I don't use it.
I'm not surprised the address is the same,
And I'm sure they're already driving the Bentleys and living the high old life, while we're slogging through the mud carrying them on our shoulders. I think that it's time for that little game to come to an end.

Admin -- how did they get my E-mail address
I do not belong the AAMT, I was contacted by Spheris by E-mail asking to fill out an application. And this is the only place that I ever post anything about being an MT -- so they got it from here. This has been mentioned before and somehow our E-mail addresses are gotten and I would like to know how. Like I have said, I have never posted a resume, never applied for a job and only have posted about 10 messages in the past six to seven months. So how they got it, I don't know.
Spheris did not get your email address here.
If you subscribe to Advance for HIM, they sell their mailing lists and info. I've heard the AAMT does, too. As the moderator and other posters said, nobody can get your email address from this site. They can email you if you post it here, but they can't see the address. They can even change the subject line from "Your post on MTStars" to something else. As a former computer programmer, I know there is not a way to harvest your email address here. MTStars done good in protecting our privacy.
Does anyone know Frank's email address?
Does anyone know Frank's email address at corporate? I feel the need to communicate on a personal level. Maybe if we ALL communicated with him on a personal level he would be sorry for what he has done and give us all trips to Hawaii and a raise. Ya think??
Done ! And passed it on to my whole address book...sm
 GO JULIE !!!
