To Becky
Well, I do not do it as a second job or supplemental income. And I make a great salary. It CAN be done. Stick with it, kiddo.
Thanks Sis and Becky SM
I sent him an e-mail and told him that I felt that 12 cents a line was a fair price. He sent me a sample Word document of his work, and I showed him how I would count it and told him how much that particular job would have cost him.
If he thinks its too much, that's okay. I stay busy with my full-time job and 3 kids.
Thank you for all of your input! :)

thanks Becky
man are you brave for having your name on here!! I have received some nice e-mails and I don't care if someone calls me slimy. I was just amazed to see how many people are really struggling. Frankly, if I couldn't get but 1000-1500 lines a day, it wouldn't be worth the torture. you know when I first started, we got paid by the minute. there was a girl in the office who did 200+ minutes a day and everyone hated her. everyone but me! she was my idol! she was my goal! we became great friends and I picked her brain and pushed myself until I made my goal. it was hard hard work but well worth it. and about the girl who said I should help people for free. that's a great concept but I am only ONE person. I don't have the time to answer hundreds of e-mails or phone calls daily and try to help every person individually. anyway.......
Becky's question
Becky, this is all a tempest in a teapot. I have earned a great living for many years with MQ. Don't listen to the naysayers and doomsday folks. I don't plan to go anywhere. I went from IC to FTE and am very happy. Cheer up! Jennie
You about pegged it, Becky. nm

Ditto what Becky said but I want to add
What the clients are charged is none of your business. The MT company has a contract with YOU telling YOU how much they will pay YOU. That is not dependent on what the client pays the MT company. Their contract with the client has nothing to do with you and what you are paid.
Becky, I've been an IC for seven years now without
any type of liability or error insurance at all. As the other poster said, the physician is the one that's responsible for reviewing and signing off on the reports. If you don't believe me, go to Google.com and type in "transcriptionist sued" to see how many lawsuits are out there where doctors sued their transcriptionist. Zero. It's not going to happen. Besides that, technically you are a SUBcontractor for softscript, so it's their butts that are going to be on the line no matter what your employee/IC status is. THEY are the ones that signed the contract with the hospitals or physicians, not you. Also, if you search the MTstars archives about that company, they don't get rave reviews. You can find a better company where people actually know what they're talking about.
Oh Becky, get off your high horse.
Your holier-than-thou posts get really old. Can you say 'uptight'?
Becky is right. You can download the Adobe Acrobat PDF
version of most forms from the IRS.gov website for free. No need to buy anything or pay anyone.
Becky, email me and let me know what print it was and I'll send you out another one.

Hey Becky, I think the owner made it pretty clear that Christmas is celebrated
don't like it, why not visit a site that is all about what YOU believe in? You're making such a fuss on a site that embraces Christmas, do you understand that? The owner said she respects others for what they believe in, but that doesn't mean it gives you an engraved invitation to put others down for what they believe in. You're just making yourself crazy by reading the pro Christmas posts here.
Whoops
Didn't mean to put Bah-Humbug, but that was my last post!!
Whoops, how did i get here? LOL.
not very computer savvy ...LOL. But I know my transcription....LOL.
Whoops....
The first didn't come thru and now it did.....
Whoops. Got cut off. sm
see link! Love this lady. She knows her stuff, she is POSITIVE which we don't see much on this site. Witty, excellent, and I have learned a lot from her.
Whoops! My bad!
How on earth did THAT happen, I wonder?? Oh well. Thanks for forwarding!
Whoops! Meant 13,000!
Duh.
whoops - in order to see them all....sm
in my prior post, in order to see them ALL, you have to scroll all the way down in my prior post.............sorry *L*

Whoops - where'd the Belarc URL go? sm
I'll put it in the text this time - you might have to paste it into your browser:

Becky, I found your email. I will send out another Crow's Gift tomorrow morning. It will be seale
Whoops! DH gave DD the car (sorry for the confusion)!
What happened was that I thought a second hand car was fine and she should pay for it like I did in high school but he said, "Are you kidding? You bought your own car in high school in 1975 when it cost a couple hundred bucks. If she bought her own car now she'd need a loan for the friggin' thing. It's just not possible anymore for kids to buy anything like that from a minimum wage job at the Dairy Queen, plus if by some act of God she was able to it would be a piece of junk and unsafe."
whoops - I meant 98 Degrees...LOL..NM

Whoops! Meant raspberries

Whoops..I meant the county where the crime was committed, not

Whoops and I meant to say that Unicomp look like a great keyboard.
I am glad to see there are companies still making good quality keyboards and making them with a USB connection. You cannot go wrong with a buckling spring or mechanical click keyboard (if you can tolerate the noise) for quality. The keys stay snappy and the marking stays on. You pay a little more but personally I would rather pay 2 or 3 times as much for a great keyboard than to keep buying a new one every year. As I understand the plastic one that you buy at office depot that are Logitech or Microsoft cost about 5 dollars to manufacture. No wonder they wear out.
Whoops! Thought I corrected "experiment" before I posted
And please forgive any other typos I may have missed. :)
Whoops, probably should have mentioned, I work on Dictaphone ExSpeech. NM

got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
Becky you work in a great place. With no one hovering, I bet you get a lot more work done w/o agoniz
wants what. The only people qualified to do QA on my reports are the dictating doctors and the rest is just pure waste of money and time. If I have a question fine. But this random QA bites and hurts everyone. BTW, I don't have random QA for those who seem to think I may have an ax to grind. No dog in this fight. Just common sense.
*70 will disable call waiting unless you are expecting a call and want it on (nm)

On-call requires on-call compensation by law
This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job. Call me!
Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
.
If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
Whoops...I forgot - cranberry sauce, too. My husband would kill me if I forgot the cranberry sauce!
Call the doc and get an Rx....sm
My 3 kids had hand, foot, and mouth disease and the lesions in their mouths was just awful!! When they got chicken pox about a year after that one of my kids had them in her mouth and the doctor prescribed the same mouth rinse. They swished it around and spit it out and they stayed numb for hours! They finally got rest that way and so did I!! Go luck to you and hope all is well soon.!
you may need to call the doc (sm)
cause when I had the chicken pox, the same think happened to me and they did spread to my throat and became infected. I had to take antibiotics...I remember so well cause I was 13 YO when I had them. Also, it is Maalox and Benadryl, and viscus lidocaine, but I think that is Rx only. I'd call the doc if it were my child.  give them a hug for me, I know how they feel!
I would call
your local humane society first and speak to them about the matter. First, do a little investigation while your neighbors are gone.....does the dog have fresh water and food during the day? Does he have shelter at all times from the sun or from storms? It is totally a bad thing for any animal to be kept on a chain. Look real hard and try to find out anything they are doing wrong with that poor pup. Actually just calling the humane society or animal control about his constant barking should bring them out to talk with the owners. Let us know how it goes for you. I know it has been unpleasant for you but, as you apparently realize, it is even worse for that dog. This is your chance to help him.
call first
I would contact Hotels.com first to see why they only reimbursed partial. That is ridiculous. I would be upset. How long ago did they bill your credit card? I'd call your credit card company and dispute the charge. Most credit card companies will fight it for you.
Good Luck!!
You call that a different POV?
the point is how this person has attacked the OP. They were rude and it was uncalled for. so the next time you have a concern and bring it here, we can rip you apart instead of give support and you can chalk it up to it being a different POV.
I get so SICK of some people trying to make excuses for bad behavior.
We call them
PIG NUTS up here! LOL They are good, though.
