usually the 30 seconds or less are doctors saying, "okay transcriptionist, please use my normal template for a left total knee replacement...left knee...no complications...thanks!
And then I get 80 lines - can you say CHHEEEEEESE??

If I'm an idiot you're an uneducated turbo-idiot
At least I have the brains to see when it's time to change directions instead of crying about those bad, bad MTSO's and their foreign employees. Boo, hoo, hoo!
IDIOT!!!!

What an idiot.
Then what are you doing coming to the MT board if you are not an MT. I never said that I am most MTs! Read what the OP posted and then read mine. Are you stupid? I won't need any luck in finding a job. Worry about yourself and get a life.
Your not an idiot...sm
You are just giving your opinion. Nobody said she had to take anybodys advice. She can read and make up her own mind. I am glad you were able to remove yourself from that situation and I hope she also finds a way. Have a good day.
don't think I'm an idiot, but...
can you tell me what it's called? I just looked at target online, and the only things I saw were CDs and a toy :) Thanks a lot for the suggestion and at 10 bucks, I'm definitely looking into it!!
So I'm an idiot...
But I thank you for posting information that we all can learn from. I know very little ctrl commands and this has just helped a great deal. Thanks!
Pays to read these posts!
Wow, what a freaking idiot.
What is there to back up lady? I am coming to this board to see if anyone get the letter and check. I can't back anything up if I have no documentation. All I know is that there is a statement in IPAY and not a deposit into my bank account. I called payroll and that is what they told me. Came here to post it to see what people are saying. You make no sense and I wonder how you even make it out of bed in the morning.
No reasoning with an idiot, so I won't try.
lllll
Drunk idiot at that!!! LOL
You see, there is no reasoning with an idiot. nm

You are an idiot if you think the people
with the 9 bedroom homes on the beach are the ones needing help. In fact, most homes are not even 9 bedrooms in Florida. Even the real expensive houses are no more than 3-4 bedrooms. Get your facts straight. I am speaking from NOT being on the beach, in Houston. When hurricane Rita came through, we were flat broke after buying water, etc. When we lost power, we lost all of our food other than what we ate during the first few days. Some of us had to work and could not get out 3-4 days in advance. After that, you couldn't get out, and I live in Houston not on the beach!! I would have had to take 2 cars to get everyone out, which we were willing to do. Did you see the freeways. It was taking 24-48 hours for people to make a 4 hour trip! There were animals, kids and adults who died on the freeway trying to get out. If we would have attempted to leave, we would have still been on the freeway when the storm hit. We felt safer in our home. Thank God it shifted East though. You speak out of ignorance, as do most people who are so hateful. It IS the goverment's job to help every American in need. That is our God give right when we pay money into the goverment. The goverment is there to protect their people, and that is part of it. You cannot pick and choose who is worthy! You have no idea what their situation is. As I said before, you speak from ignorance.
Some idiot will do it though either for experience or

It's from the internet you idiot

Before he turned into a complete idiot.
I haven't seen any of his recent movies since he split with Nicole Kidman. Of course, I saw "Days of Thunder" and "Far and Away". Read the whole post, then try taking an English comprehension course. Troll.
No on is an idiot and you should be ashamed of yourself for calling anyone that. nm

My dad is an immature, selfish idiot.
Entertained himself by making fun of me and laughing at me when I got upset, doesn't know how to carry on even the simplest conversation, has been telling the same tired jokes for 40 years for lack of anything to say and goes to bed at 2PM because there are people in the house and he can't keep up with a discussion like a normal human being. I grew up with no self esteem and married the first abusive, selfish, hateful idiot that I came across because I thought that was all the better I could do.
Thank goodness I saw what was going on with me and why and have been straightening out my life for the past 12 years or so and avoid my dad (and the rest of my dysfunctional family) at all cost.
My dad = a waste of oxygen.
I refuse to validate the idiot Cruise
or to enrich him with one penny of my hard-earned money. I will not be seeing his movie or any other project in which he is involved. I feel the same way about Johnny Depp since the horrible, hateful statements he has made about America and Americans. They are free to speak their minds, but I am also free to choose not to reward their hatefulness.
If you're calling me an idiot, you must be one of the ones I'm talking about.

The accounts are not out of TAT just maybe the 1 hour TAT some idiot in Amherst came up with to
probably get a big bonus. Hope they feel good about themselves. Again what should we do.
It's called being an inconsiderate self-absorbed idiot
they don't realize how irritating it is for someone to have to listen to that crap. They just don't care.
You idiot, there are plenty of jobs with companies that DON'T offshore. Go somewhere else and
quit your raggin on this board.
WOOOW. You are the biggest idiot i have ever heard...GET A LIFE!

Are you watching Fox News. Idiot surfers out in the ocean.

You're an idiot. You asked for help on a public forum
then get angry over the responses? OMG, do you even have a life? LOL
I don't care if you are a mensa or a full blown idiot...
like MensaMT who tells us she is awesome at everything she does and everything she touches is gold, then you deserve to be flamed! All those things may be true, but come on...nobody wants to hear you tell about how wonderful you are. There are plenty of MTs out there doing all she is doing - with a much less IQ - who don't have to tell a soul!
You sound like a complete and total idiot! I don't use that word lightly!

Ditto....granted I am not working much these days, but am currently trying out a new way of working
when I do work which seems to be helping. I am timing myself and keeping a log of how long it takes to to type however many minutes. I am averaging anywhere from 13-18 minutes of dictation an hour now doing this. Granted the time fluctuates between who I am typing, and if I have to look up names, addresses, etc., just depends on the division I am doing at the time. But work that used to take me 3 hours to do is now taking me under 2 hours, I am also trying to put in more macros as I go along, which slows me down initially but pays off in the long run of course. I was working "all the time" before but took forever to get done since I was not applying myself. This new "attitude" has helped me a lot. My goal, in the Fall, is to do 90 minutes a day consistently at 6 hours, and then maybe get up to 120 minutes a day at 8 hours, still while having at least half of the day free (do 60 minutes at night, and the other 60 by Noon). Thereby doing 1200-1400 lines a day. I have never really buckled down and done more than 8000 lines per pay period, so it will be a nice change. Maybe you can do something like that and have a specific knock off time as was suggested below. 
Working holidays? Out shopping in stores where someone IS working
that holiday you refuse to work? Grocery stores, food joints & seems any store is open on holidays and you expect them to be fully staffed, so why shouldn't we?
Yes, I took off for the first time on Christmas day, in 18 years and it was great, but I worked Christmas eve and this whole past weekend.
Someone has to do it!
working IN A HOSPITAL is different than working at home.
Someone can steal you identity from the internet if they want to. Why would you go to the time and trouble to jeopardize a job that requires some level of skill to steal someone's identity or medical records? You could get a job as a retail clerk and get info easier than going through the testing required to become an MT.
Somehow working at home translates into not really working
My in-laws are the worst. Whenever they plan something last minute and my husband says that I had to work, they say, "but she works at home!". When I one time mentioned I had a "schedule" and basically punch a clock and work full time, I don't think they believed me. They will sometimes call mid-day during the week if they are in the area to see if I want to go for lunch, etc! The best is, my husband doesn't make all that much money, so where is it coming from, the money fairy? I am ready to strangle someone! So I know how you feel and I'm sorry it upset you. You are not alone.
It's not because you're beautiful, it's because you're an IDIOT!
Does that make it any clearer for you??
I daydream about NOT working while I'm working.
There are so many other things I need and want to get done. I've been working way too hard lately, and summer is just slipping by again. Well, I'm outty.
Working. LOL What else? nm

working out
Spinning is great if you only want aerobics, but a personal trainer deals with weight training. That's for building muscle, which speeds up your metabolism. You really need both (aerobics and weight training) if you want to slim down and shape up.
In either case, make sure you drink ice water. The body's reaction is, "What the heck is this stuff?! I'm getting cold here. Turn on the shiver mechanism." That's another way to speed up your metabolism. 
Working for self
It is harder now to break in than it was 15 to 20 years ago when I started but there is still accounts out there. I got started part-time when working for a local hospital -- not even doing medical transcription. I was an Admin Ass't but had done this in the past and one of our physicians on one of our boards could not get anyone to do his transcription so I started doing it part-time. I had been a CMA, CMT, x-ray tech in the old days. But had not kept up on my certifications when I went to work in the hospital. But this started the ball rolling. Since my hubbie then was a truck driver I did it to keep me out of trouble when he was out of town. Then I started doing it full time. I get accounts from the private docs that no one really wants, larger companies, and still do tapes, printing, delivering and pick ups. I advertise and send out flyers and seem to get a bite when I need a new account. I have 2 Surgical Oncologists, 2 IM's, 1 Plastic/Hand surgeon, and 1 Psych. I have one permanent part-timer and one that helps out with overflow. I charge from 10.5 to 12.5 cents a line depending on the account. My rates are going up this month. I also work in a clinic doing electronic charts but that is as an employee. These docs are small and I keep my prices lower because I know what they get back from insurances, etc. are not that great. I am paid within 3 days of receipt of invoice (usually the next day) have never had my line count questioned, have never had a check bounce and they make me a part of their team. And yes, I am the one from six months ago that said I would bake them cookies and you know why. But all I can say is look through the County AMA directories or phone books or if your hospital has physician offices in them, see who works alone and try sending out flyers or going door to door -- never hurts to bring cookies either. But have been doing it for 15 years fulltime and make enough to support myself through a yucky divorce and pay an attorney $10,000 -- barely but did it. Good luck. Maybe if enough would do this for themselves much cheaper than the nationals we could all go back to making a good living. Am going digital here in the next six months or so, but only to pick up a new account as my docs still prefer the tapes. Trying to get them to change.
You can E-mail me for any more questions.
It will get better--just keep working..nm

why because I tried working for both
I have nothing really bad to say about SS, I have had no lines stolen, I just dont understand what is being dictated I'm sort of new I have about a year's experience but in my opinion this is easier to learn in English before you go to extreme ESL work, I will say that SS gives you back all of your reports so that you can learn your accounts but they almost have to so you know what the people are saying
are you working on?
Been with another office 8 years myself. Was a top producer for many years, then got put on DocQScribe over a year ago, now cant get my line count (???) - plus HATE the account. Requested to change accounts numerous times and pretty much got told to be quiet and type. Do they ever transfer MTs to different offices?
It is working now!
I went and updated my Norton AV (but I have it set up to update automatically whenever there are new updates) and restarted my computer, logged on, and opened IE and my WW page loaded! Go figure! :D
Thanks for suggesting updating my AV but I don't understand how that would have effected just that one web site. Perhaps, it is just coincidence but then again maybe not.
In any event, thank you so much for trying so hard to help me. I really appreciate it. :)
Are you currently working on ASR?

got an email from them about the horrible weekend backlog, but I also had no work - Amherst, 5 different accounts
working more than one IC job
Don't know where you got your info, but I've never been told by the IRS that I must work more than one job as an IC. I must have missed that Big Brother memo, lol. 
I too like working for MQ.
I never said I didn't like working for them. The only thing I responded to was your attitude. Why do you feel the need to defend MQ? If you're happy who gives a rats rear what anyone else thinks.
Working on it.... NM

I work at my Mom's house, but am setting up duplicate system at home. I have DSL here at Mom's, at home only dial-up.

Hi: No mee too...I am working! Fancy that. I am a single mom and I have to make ends meet, so well here I am typing away but I will take a few hours to be with friends in about an hour. It's ok I am ok with it. I do the best I can with what I have. God blessed me with a beautiful daughter.
