I'm so glad you posted. I thought it was me! sm
I can remember from years ago, but have so much difficulty remember things short-term. If I don't write it, I can't remember. Scary! At least I know I'm not alone! Thanks everyone!
Okay, I thought I posted the link
sorry. This may work.
I stand corrected........................ think
maybe that's one of the AAMT adjustments?
I stand corrected
I think I worked there! LOL Except they used to fax the corrected
reports back to me, which I couldn't read because the faxed copies were illegible. I wasn't provided with any account guides or samples either. Their rules and style made no sense whatsoever and went against everything I ever learned in high school, college and my transcription career. I wound up leaving them very soon after starting. I don't know which is worse, no feedback at all or nitpicking.
It's up to you if you're going to stay and put up with it or not. Plenty of places are hiring right now.
oh yes, I always spellcheck anyway, even if I have already corrected something. nm

Thank you, nm, for your reply to my computer question.
I stand corrected!
Copied and pasted your search string. Had no idea you could get Word separately, especially the 2007 version.
Thank you posting that!
Maybe you would know this then:
Is there a reader you can download to Vista to view MS Word documents if you don't have MS Word installed?

Whoops! My bad!
How on earth did THAT happen, I wonder?? Oh well. Thanks for forwarding!
Simon has corrected himself in the past. sm
Actually, I have heard Simon say in past seasons that after watching the playback it was not as bad as his review, which is, of course, what he did with Katherine.
Corrected link inside.

Ok. I stand corrected...may be overly sensitive..sm
I work for two places, one full time as IC and one part time as IC. Full time is small service with approximately 14 MTs. I get paid by the gross line at .067 cpl, typed in courier new 12. I have worked there for three years. Part time IC job is .08 cpl at 55 characters, typed in TNR 12. I consider both of these to be low paying, after reading some of the others, but they pay the bills. I guess.
please share corrected version next time too; thx!

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, I see there is another Becky. I will now call myself SM

I stand corrected. Sorry, did not mean to say gross. Rather, 65 cpl with spaces, headers, footers.

oh wow, so that makes you smarter than me because you corrected an error on a message board???
Congrats...how have I not been supportive? I never called you anything nasty or said anything negative...I merely stated sometimes you have to suck it up...ESLs are never going to get any easier...you just have to adapt...and the pay will get better once you prove yourself...I think you just don't like the reality of the situation...sorry for being honest...
Whoops..I meant the county where the crime was committed, not
nm
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, probably should have mentioned, I work on Dictaphone ExSpeech. NM

Gross lines and 12 hour days!!! I stand corrected, you weren't stretching the truth, you were...
misleading everyone. The majority of MTSOs pay by a 65 character lines. Paying for spaces or not paying for spaces is usually the only variant between companies. You come on here and say that you tyhpe 3000 a line a day and leave it at that. Don't say how many hours your work, how long your lines are, etc. That is misleading!
I probably am typing 3000 gross lines a day in my eight hour day if I were coutning gross lines. For fun, I think on my next work day, I'm going to jot down my gross line count in each document and add it up at the end of the day and compare it to my actual line count. I'll let everyone know what the difference is.
Geez! Really burns me up when people get on here at start spouting out nonsense as if it were fact and we should all be in awe of their skills and expertise! For future reference, the truth lies in the details. You can't just say you do 3000 lines a day and leave it at that. Notice when I posted below how many lines a day I do, I added that I work a strictly 8 hour day and that my lines are 65 characters with spaces.
Give accurate and detailed information people, PLEASE!
Qa sent me 2 corrected report. One had hypenated word changed and other had same word
p
thank you - please do keep me posted. - sm
