don't have anything nice to say to someone, don't say anything at all? You must like being rude and hateful, and I don't mean just YOU personally, I mean everyone who has to criticise and be rude.

49 years old/self taught/daughter 20 years old/self taught. I'm a CMT, and daughter is studying t
take the test soon.
I wish someone had taught me..
To this day, I still feel uncomfortable and unsure about what to do. If only someone had taught me when I was young! Your boys are very blessed to have a thoughtful parent like you.
I was taught to use two
and it is hard to change now. Most of my accounts use two, but I also have one account that uses ChartScript platform and I have noticed that it takes out the two and replaces it with one. And yes, I do think that over a period of time, it would make a difference in the line counts. However, that is the platform they use and I cannot change it. I get paid well anyway, so I am not complaining. Glad someone else noticed it though, I thought it was just my imagination
Some of us do, I was taught the same,
disc for back and disk for eye, however, I have to use disk for everything if I want to keep a job, among other asine rules per BOS.
yes it is accurate I also was taught sm
5 characters equal one word. Therefore, there are 13 words in a 65 character line.
Makes you wonder what they were taught in sm
high school, though I learned most of this in grammar school.
Proof as I go, was taught this way! nm

Please let me know if wrong, but I was taught to
always put in the patient's name if a dictator said to instead put the patient. Now here years later we are told by the hospital and now we are told to put in the given name if dictated. I do VR, and I read word by word by word everything on all reports. We are also held to the 98% accuracy be it VR or straight.
I was taught by my mother that
if someone gives you a gift, say thanks even if you toss it out your back door. Some do not get even a $5.00 gift card. It is inappropriate to not be thankful for what you have, get or whatever. I did not get a $5.00 card from my company so the OP got more than me. I am not offended by the lack of a gift, does not bother me at all, I did not expect anything.
Because they weren't doing much
They were working too hard to take the time to talk. It was the American workers that made me sick. I was sort of embarrassed by the fact that they couldn't do the job without complaining about having to go to the next one. They even brought their kids with them to work who played with my kids' stuff without even asking first. They were ignorant and not worth the money they were paid. It is a shame that I had to feel that way, but it is so true.
my 2-yr-old taught me or made me learn...
Left click and hold it down on the task bar and drag, still holding the left button down and drag it to the bottom and drop it.
Children understand what they are taught!
Kids are capable of understanding social situations like this, even at young ages.Adults need to give them more credit. Personally, from listening to the story, sounds like lots of families I know with 5 kids or more. They can get the attitude of entitlement someone else mentioned - their parents are always getting aid from the govt, or town, or churches, and so the kids naturally adopt the attitude of the parents - that they are entitled to everyone's stuff just because...I always go over the normal "rules" with my kids before they go over someone's house - say thank you to the mom, don't ask for anything to eat, be polite, etc. If they are going over and it includes eating, like invited for lunch, I give them the look before they leave and make them promise to at least attempt to eat something even if they don't like it, and to NEVER say they didn't like anything! Guess I'm teaching them to be wimps, huh?!
I was taught about this when typing psych (sm)
one of the doctors used to come into our office (typing pool) and tell us stories from the ER. He then explained what these guys (the majority of hamster/gerbil stories were from guys) would do to these poor little creatures. Gives me the creepy crawlies to think of what people do.
I've been MT for 17 years and was taught (sm)
that from the beginning. "Patient sent to Radiology" is "The patient was sent to Radiology." I remember covering it at AAMT meetings and training interns from the local college who were taught that also.
I tried to work it out, they weren't willing. nm
they weren't asking for help, just complaining

You weren't trained
You weren't trained, which is why you couldn't earn a living doing MT. A lot of people make that mistake, think they just sit down at a computer and type what they hear, then they wonder why they can't make any money. I'm sure if you had gone to school to learn MT, you would have been great at it. After all, you didn't teach yourself to become an RN, right?
Amen to that - I'm fed up with it. We weren't
even asked if we would CONSIDER going to editing, we are just switched over. I wasn't hired to edit and was hired to transcribe at a mutually agreed-upon line rate. I can type faster than I edit - I am going to lose a lot of $ at this editing stuff if I don't find something else. Not happy at all with it.
Here's my theory. We were taught to place nice.
Even if you hated the person and hated their ideas we were taught we needed to share and play nice. Well here on boards and in chat rooms, you don't have to play nice and we can vent and rant and not have to suck it in.
I believe it is healthier here on these boards than in real life where you need to smile in people's faces in the workplace, in the neighborhood or even in the family when you would rather tell them what you think at best and at the very worse give them a good old fashion A$$ kick and tell them to get out of your face with their BS..     
Here you don't need to be phoney baloney and you can tell people exactly how you feel w/o repercussions. And that's a good thing.
Ditto, ETMT. I was being taught plateform and
specifics of one account. Then, was hired PT (needed backup since working for nationls has some many uncertainties) so was learning that format and style preferences. Then, the national wanted to train me on a second account with a new platform. I requested not to be tained on the second account - I was overwhelmed with the two new accounts I was already being trained on and, call me stupid, but I can only absorb so much new information at a time. I saw it as a breeding ground for an error and well, we know what an error can do to our reputations. I just needed some time.
Yeah, I was taught the same thing in typing
some 30 years ago, but since my employer prefers it that way, then I will do it; after all, they pay me to do the job the way they want it. It doesn't mean I have to agree that it is correct, but that's just the way it is. 
In your dreams. They are not taught how to dictate, nor do they care. sm
They, the doctors, barely get a 1 day course in prescribing medications, let alone dictating. That is why we are medical transcriptionists. If you thought it would be like it was on the SUM tapes, you are wrong. This is the real world of doctors dictating. For the one who laughed at the big bucks, well maybe you don't make them, and maybe this is why. If you can only do easy, clinic work, then you will never make it in this business. That is the work that is easily done off-shore and by VR.
Was taught in my program that all those eye words begin with

My parents taught me that 2 wrongs do not make a right.....
I guess you didn't learn that, or worse you think that *makes* it all right. And people wonder what is wrong with the world these days? Your message pretty clearly outlines it, in my opinion. Working under another Social Security number, no matter WHO does it is wrong, wrong, and, oh yes, ILLEGAL!
Yes, then what was "male veterinarian" if you weren't

Then you weren't making any profits -- sm
If taxes were eating up your "profit" you weren't making any as even as an employee you pay taxes and so your takehome pay is less. All you pay is the extra 7.5% of SSN when you are an IC or in business for self. There are so many write offs that I have or anyone can have that I actually have more take home pay than if I were an employee. So again, you had no profits as if you had been an employee you would have been 30% down in take home pay anyway. With all my write offs -- which I would still have an an employee but could not deduct, I am in a much higher tax bracket than I am now. So even with the extra 7.5% for SSN, it is well worth it to be and no I do not cheat just take all available write-offs that I am allowed.
We were taught Disc - eyes, Disk - back

If it weren't for us Americans, he wouldn't be the star

if i were being promised things that weren't being followed through, i'd hit the road. sm
i agree on the decreasing the bonus but maybe they didn't have as productive of a year this year or didn't clear as much in their pocketbooks as they would like, lol. i technically think all companies should give something; after all, a gift is a tax write off anyway. better to give to those busting our tails for them rather than uncle sam. i haven't gotten anything but cards in the last 3 years so i am used to it by now and don't expect it but i would definitely be grateful even for a meal gift card or anything for that matter.
Me, too, but we weren't allowed to use White-Out. We had to erase sm
all our carbons, sometimes I had 6, as we weren't allowed to use a copier. I wish we had a board of our own, don't you? Things are different with us.
If it weren't for needing a land line for DSL
My cell phone is my primary phone and I have more minutes and free long distance than I can use per month. I got basic phone services and locked it from any LD calls to save money and my land line still costs $30 a month. I feel I'm wasting that money but there isn't anything I can do. I won't drop my cell phone because I have my kids on as extra lines and they wouldn't have a phone otherwise.
weren't these shoes originally called...sm
to me, crocs would be made out of crocodiles (I do live in Florida *LOL*).....what you all describe sounds like the *jellies* my daughter wore when she was 10 or 12. 
Patti, weren't you one of the MTSOs complaining
a couple of weeks back that there's really no big money in this biz anymore and it wasn't worth the time/effort put in when all is said and done? Or maybe you're having a good week this week? : )
Weren't the Indians given a reduced rate to get CMT?

It means they probably weren't worth your time
and that unless they were not being straight with you (perhaps you did not actually pass their test for example) that they are disorganized and careless when it comes to recruitment.
Look elsewhere - APPLY MULTIPLE PLACES because this IS unfortunately not a unique situation. I have 20 years in the business and I have often had four resumes out at once because I KNOW some of the jobs advertised are not real jobs and I will never hear back. Others will SAY you have a job and then drop the ball to get you started.
The ones who seriously want to hire you *now* will make that very clear... Basically whoever gives you work first (that meets *your* requirements of course) is the company you go with.
Make a note of those companies who don't act professionally - and consider yourself forewarned about what they might be like to work for in the future.
SOME have legitimate communication oversights - but there are a TON who are poorly managed. It shouldn't be rocket science to figure out that ignoring a candidate (dropping the ball) etc., very loikely elimiates a potential person for future needs.
They weren't *fudging*. They didn't ADD hours -
The employee LOSES, and the company WINS.
Either the employee should get a OT differential for the extra hrs. worked, or else the *minimum* daily line count is TOO HIGH.

You probably would have had more people in chat if it weren't New Year's Day.

If it weren't a psych note I might wonder why it was relevant
but in a psych note I could easily see why mention of sexual orientation might be appropriate. I otherwise might wonder why doc felt need to include it in a regular medical note, where it's not normally mentioned if a person is straight.
I'm sure you're fine. If you weren't worried/
that would be different. But you obviously do care. I'm sure you are doing just fine. Ask your MTSO; I'm sure she will appreciate that you are conscientious enough to ask.
I was taught two spaces in high school typing class
places want only one space. BOS (pg 66, 2nd Ed) says either/or but be consistent, and that it is usually is set by company/client, but I've definitely noticed that most MTSOs want only one space and that's how I always do it now.

Maybe the kids just weren't good in math period. No
matter where they go to school there are going to be kids that just struggle in a subject. Not having family support could be a major issue too. I never understood not having family support and why it mattered to a parent whether they had it or not because they are the parent. It would be nice if the family was supportive though. I have known people whose parents were so against it, but later saw that they were missing so much and bought into it and actually enjoyed helping them learn and explore. It doesn't take an education to be able to educate your child, it just takes love, time, and patience. Not all parents can provide that, but most can and do. I have 1 year of college and my just turned 11-YO is so far ahead that we went to a local college bookstore today to get him books because he has pretty much mastered everything else. I spend my free time reading his books trying to stay one step ahead of him and in the process getting a better education than I ever got when I was in school and I went to pubic and private schools and was also in advanced classes.
Homeschooling is not for everyone, but it is an option and those who choose to do it should be allowed to do it without being degraded for it. There are a tremendous amount of resources available to homeschoolers, the bigger the city the more options. Lack of socialization is one of the first issues that a non-homeschooler brings up. Our children still play with neighborhood children, participate in community sporting activities, scouts, 4-H, etc. so there are plenty of times for socialization. My youngest son has never met a stranger and everyone wants to be around him from ages 1 to 100. My oldest isn't as social and most of his friends are public school kids, but when he was in public school he didn't have but 1 friend, mainly because he was so advanced and the things he would talk about where things way over the other kid's heads and they thought he was lying.
Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now.
