In Reply to: Was thinking about Vonage... have too many problems with - Comcast internet as it is..... Thanks!
I used to have Comcast a couple of years ago and never, ever had a problem with it. Fast, never went down except for the rare maintenance which customers were informed of. I couldn't have been happier with it.
I recently signed back up for Comcast and have noticed that it will randomly just go down for anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes, only 2 lights blinking on the modem for some unknown reason, and then just as randomly start working again. It's gotten me so paranoid I find myself looking at the modem to make sure all 3 lights are working before I try to upload a job so I don't lose it.
I'm in central CA; are you on the west coast as well, or is this perhaps a national issue with Comcast high speed connections? To my recollection, it was never unreliable like this before.

If this is the same company, then the reason they do not "pay for spaces" is because they pay by the gross line -- spaces do not matter when counting gross lines.

Check this out. It's not for only low income. There is not a pickup point near me so I haven't done it, but if there was one close, I'd be there.

I live in the Chicago suburbs and a company down the street is owned by a man, and they have a VA account they are hiring for. Just curious if this is for BOS?
Are they located in Central CA?
I think this place might be local for me.
Never heard of them. Where is their site or ad located? nm

it really depends on where in the country you are located
if you are in NYC or Long Island, the amount is never less than $100. Further north of NY can go about $50. If it's a close relative you go higher in $$.
I'm not sure of anywhere else.
Never mind. I just located the info. SM

Do a search to see where the file is located on your hard drive.
Make note of the full location name. Next, in ES, choose Load and go to the above-noted location to find the file. Hit the Load button and you're in business.

Go to Google and type in Career Step and Andrews School. These are the two best. Most companies will hire grads from these schools right out of training. Good luck to you!

I was hired by MQ to work at home. It took four months for me to complete the program. I passed MQ's test and was hired as a regular employee, not a trainee or intern. They were confident I could do the job based on my test scores and previous nonmedical work experience.
Do they have both? (see inside)
I'm an SE with them. Yep, I have a schedule but it's compacted into 3 days. I'm allowed to work all I want past my line requirement. Usually, I do get on at the end of the payperiod to see what extra dollars I can get on my check. I was encouraged to do that.
My prod sup said that they especially have so many people who won't pull their schedules and won't cover weekends that she'd never deny me work.
Didn't know they had ICs as well. Thought SEs like me were the only ICs MQ had.

This has all the dictionaries if you are in doubt of a word. One of the best sources around. Also includes medical dictionaries too, though arousable is not one I would look in the medical dictionary for as it can be verified in Webster's or any of the other good dictionaries.

I think you can make more money on clinic notes as they are easier...even though you usually get less per line, you can usually pump out the lines quicker. There was a recent discussion on the hosp/clinic board about this. Here is the addy, but I'll add the link below too.

Decent pay but the worst accounts ever to work on! If you have EXCELLENT ESL experience you will do okay.

Some accounts use wav pedal, some use C-phone. You can probably rent either from them if you don't have one. You use your own computer.

It was from Jan. 3rd. It read:
It is so easy to convince yourself you cannot make as much money at a different company or on a different account, or never find anything better, so you stay where you are, taking all the abuse in the world. In management, this is called the Golden Handcuff, and they rely on it to keep the same employees, never give a raise, never give respect, and just continue to walk all over you.
In this profession you are very mobile if you can transcribe at all. It may take a month to get used to a new system, a new account, or whatever, but your self respect is worth it in the end. There are a lot of companies out there that actually do appreciate employees, and it certainly does not seem to be any of the companies who are mentioned frequently on these boards.
I changed jobs about a month ago, thought I would never learn, but in a week I was making far more with a small MTSO than I ever did with a large company. Treat yourself to a new beginning and a new year.
Hope this helps.

I am saying that this horrible thing could have been prevented. My sister woke up in the morning to her partially eaten chickens (whch are actually her pets) because the coyotes got to them. She called feed stores and even the county to find a way to solve the problem. Somewhere along the way someone gave her the following idea. Her husband and some friends dug down a couple feet into the ground and put plywood straight down into the ground around the chicken coop. This has worked 100%.
I am saying that if this was the first time her dogs had gotten out, there would've been no fault to her. But, since this wasn't the first time she could have fixed the problem. Worst case scenerio she could have a pen for the dogs to keep them in.
I hesitated in even responding because I knew I would get the reaction you gave, but if this could prevent her other dog from being a victim it is worth it (or any other dog for that matter).
My heart breaks for her.

I envisioned renting a studio in the little town near by. My radiology job I have now is with a national and I am making about 50G together with the PT job but...PAC system has just been installed and VR is being introduced. Imaging facilities are facing cuts in Medicare patients (20% of business) so I know they will look at transcription for cuts.
I am still contemplating this. They need 13 and so I think I have a few months to consider this. Am in Visalia.
Yes, the atmosphere is a consideration as well. Where are you working if I may ask?
Yes; see inside.

I thought I was on the right track. I'd still like to have some more opinions.
It isn't my child. It is my sister-in-law's child. But even after that the office staff seemed happy to hear from her.
To reiterate, for you to stop by this morning to introduce herself and leave some work samples and a business card (she doesn't have any brochures) would be totally appropriate in your opinion, right?
Thanks again.

I worked with EditScript and tried using the same thing you did and it didn't work for me. I had a new computer without a 9-pin port, so I just returned the USB adapter and went and bought a 9-pin serial port and that worked great for me.

I say leave it alone. QA is not your job, and in all likelihood, the QA people would not take kindly to your pointing out other MTs' mistakes.
As well intentioned as you may be, believe me, don't do it.

I would just take off my headphones, and loudly enough to talk over them, say "Excuse me, I'm trying to work, and I can't hear. If you are all going to talk, please go someplace else."

My son is a full-time college student without a car, so it's not practical for him to have a job. Besides doing the lawn and the trash, he works for me by doing all laundry and dishes and I pay him $20 a week so he has a little spending money, plus it gives me more time to work since I don't have to do laundry or dishes! LOL

1. Put the keyword in you want to use
2. When putting in the expansion, hit CTRL+K, you will see a screen that says "the next key you type, etc. for Bolding, check the CTRL box, the hit the B key. It is appears as {@keyCTRL+B} and the entry will be bolded. Do the same thing at the end, and it will turn off the bolding.
Here is what it looks like for a bolded HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:

I don't underline in my work, but it would be a similar process.

If it's comfortable, why not wear it? Cooler in summer. Cheaper to replace. Almost professional looking. Go for it.
