It's right up there on the Sickening Scale with that video someone posted a while back of "trainers" teaching companies how to bypass American workers' job applications, so they can then justify their outsourcing by saying there "aren't enough American workers".
There sure aren't - not when you kick all their applications under the rug or into the round file!
We need to lobby for laws in this country that will put a heavy tax on companies who outsource American livelihoods to other countries. We might as well put "For Sale" signs on our beaches, farmland, and national parks, because that's what'll be coming next.

Yoko Ono wears designer clothes and shows up at all the fashion shows. Phony.

Yes, it is disgusting. SM
I go to several MT jobs boards and they are all alike. I have been in this business for a long time and can do most specialties including hospital reports to include operative reports. I see the ads where they want "client ready" transcription and have to chuckle when they offer 7 to 9 cpl. I have gotten to the point where I will not even apply for those positions. Do I have hospital experience? You bet I do. So why are overseas transcriptionists taking my money when the MTs in the States can do the job better and just as fast. I stopped applying to those companies with their insulting line rates. Then they try to screw you over some more by not paying for spaces. If US MTs refuse to work for these companies and they are not allowed to send the work overseas, who is going to suffer? A lot of hospitals and states are now making it known that the work is not to be sent overseas and it is in their contracts. Are things looking up? I truly hope so, but I doubt it.

OMG. That's disgusting. Especially after just lowering our pay.
You are disgusting yourself to post
about another human being!! You ought to be ashamed.
and sin is sin. it's abominable, disgusting, and
you'll never be saved and do that.
I never thought he was hot. He's disgusting. sm
And his personal antics with many women (other than his wives, that is other women when he is still married) make him someone I would never admire in any way. As someone said below, GROSS. Ugh! Like a spindly leg strutting spider with 20 pounds of collagen in their lips. Yes, I know they are real. But Ugh still stands!
disgusting husband
Is she a friend of yours or just an acquaintance? Perhaps you could talk to her. She can't possibly be happy. Maybe all she needs is some support to get out on her own and away from him. 
I would report that. It is disgusting.

kind of sick and disgusting...
Disgusting commercial, huh?! Hahaha
I use Brawny paper towels and Lysol Kitchen spray on counters and appliances. I use plastic scrubbies on the sink and anything I need to scrub up before the dishwasher and the put the scrubbie in the dishwasher as well. I spray Lysol on the sink and faucets before I go to bed.
I started this when I saw Oprah's show on women who horde and won't clean/throw away anything. The experts she had on the show had checked one woman's kitchen sink for bacteria and compared it to her commode and the commode was cleaner! I about fell over. I have dishcloths and dishtowels but they are washed after every single use! Ewwwwww!
Yes, he was out of breath - could hardly get words out - it was disgusting

the game sounds pretty disgusting...
They type like they talk - and fly under the radar - disgusting!
No one at the top cares as long as they get their third party payment.
Disgusting is an understatement but nobody can/will stop it. Nobody cares but us is right.
How can they have "English typing skills" but not need to know how to speak English? How can they understand it if they can't speak it? Mind boggling. And how do they get away with it? Because it's cheap and JACHO doesn't care nor does the organization formerly known as AAMT (new title without "American" and "Transcriptionist").
Motel housekeeper when I was 16. That was a physically demanding and disgusting
job. The supervisor was always riding us to clean faster, but we made less money if we got the job done in fewer hours. Why on earth would we work faster to clean a room in 20 minutes or less just so they could pay us less?
Anyway, it was a nasty job. The things people do in motel rooms were often immoral and illegal. I had teenaged boys on a soccer team throwing condoms at me. People used to rent rooms to party, get drunk, do drugs, and other things. They left behind pornography and other things an innocent 16 y.o. had never even seen before.
Then this adult male "guest" was wandering down the hallway in just a pair of shorts. We were supposed to help the "guests" so I asked if he had misplaced his room key. He pulled his shorts off and came after me. I grabbed a bottle of acid to spray him in the eyes and called security, but the cops never found him. He had overturned the bed in his room and set up a pup tent in there. What a weirdo. I quit that same week because the housekeeper supervisor was a shrew. She's still there 20 years later. Never had any motivation to do anything else, I guess. That job taught me how to clean thoroughly and quickly, but also taught me that I would never be anyone's grunt.
I had a really disgusting burp from a doctor. Didn't even say excuse me.
Have you ever had someone dictating with a piece of hard candy, clicking around on his teeth in the back of his mouth?
I find it totally disgusting that benefits are tied in to production.

I can't see where that shows that at all....
xx
Boy that shows you what I know
I though it was only the MALES that sprayed.
shows
Desperate Housewives, Boston Legal, Lost, Alias, Medium, The Amazing Race. I'm with you will really miss Judging Amy, American Dreams and Joan of Arcadia. The new Ghost Whisper looks like it might be good.
Yes it does because it shows us where you are,

It will be new shows. DH saw a
commercial about it a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't figure out the show this past Sunday. I only saw a little bit, but I didn't remember some of the events. Can't wait for it to start back. That is the only TV program I watch during the week.
No I don't like any of those shows or that
dumb Maury Povich. I am sick of all of these paternity tests and all of that screaming, cursing and violence.
This isn't entertainment nor does it represent most of our country.
Shows
I tried to get tickets to O but they were sold out. Thank you all for your suggestions.
I usually do not like reality shows, but this one I
have to see. I love that show!! I do feel sorry for the wannabe chefs dealing with Chef. I gotta say I am watching tonight, the finale!!
Fall TV shows
I love to watch House. It comes on the Fox channel. It was on Tuesday's last season. Not sure yet when it will be on coming up on the new season.
Junk shows.
Sad commentary, but they try to please the majority of viewers. Glad to hear I'm not the only one offended.
AAMT BOS shows 250,000, as does

Talk shows
I thought about it as I do quite a bit of transcribing different types of seminars but when I saw what they charge people for a transcription of the show I thought boy they must not pay much as it does not cost much to get a transcription of a show, less than $20. So they must have some type of automated transcription as for a 8 hour seminar I get anywhere from $500 to $750 and for a three day seminar I get close to $2000. Per line charge. But is frustrating to do sometimes as the audio is not the greatest at time.
But that was my thoughts on the subject.
Maybe if they shows some respect
There are plenty of good MTs out there who are constantly getting robbed by the poor pitful management people you are defending. They ship our work overseas, leaving me without work which takes money out of my hands. They force us to take on bad accounts that they committed to and have to lie about because they are so bad (bait and switch) and I can't get my lines strictly because of poor management, unsympathetic management, unprofessional management. I would love to stay with the same company, but I'm forced to leave because I have bills to pay and management does not give a xxxxx about that.
They put this on and took off good shows like (sm)
Joan of Arcadia, they also took off Point Pleasant for those of us pulling for the good in Christina. Shows over good and evil have been going on like forever... Hello people. But Book of Daniel just deals with life today in a cynical way. Joan of Arcadia said something.
When will the reality shows end?? and...
Who keeps paying for them? Come on America!! How about quality not quantity? Shameful, I think.
When they have bad/boring shows
it seems like there are new bottom 3 people chosen. I thought Mandisa had a good voice, but country was not her best (as the case for many of them). Also, poor song choice. Next week they sing Queen songs. I've been recording the shows because they're just not as good as they have been. I think Paula needs to cut down on her medication. She's beginning to slurrrrrr her words again.
favorite tv shows
- The Office
- Oprah
- Dr. Phil
- Ellen (Loooove Ellen!)
- Will & Grace
- AI
- Sopranos
- Dateline
Not a bad try. After all, loads of shows on air saying you can become
xx
Angelina seems like a man stealer, she just shows up
home. She doesnt seem to have a personality either. Oh well, when you're that gorgeous who needs a personality? As far as men aging well, I think Al Pacino looks better now than he did back when he first came out. He had those bags under his eyes, maybe he's gotten plastic surgery. Other bad agers: John Travolta (he looks like he ate the old John Travolta from Saturday night fever) and Nicolas Cage, an old crush of mine, awesome actor but seeming a bit hairless and bloated these days.
Anyone have any fall TV shows you are looking forward to?
Two of my favories: Judging Amy and American Dreams, have both been cancelled. I'm down to ER now - can anybody point me at something that I should be watching? No HBO at our house, just regular satellite programming, broadcast channels. I started to get into Everwood last spring....
I just do not understand those reality shows.
It's so annoying to watch them. I did briefly see the guys puking all over while the women cared for them, then I turned off the TV. Really, do we need to see vomit? That's not entertaining. It's amazing the stupid things people will do just to get on TV. And all the squabbling within the teams. It's all garbage nowadays. Nothing is family friendly or entertaining any more.
Ah, so the IRS has changed it. Shows you how long it's been
since I've paid anybody to do anything for me. LOL
The eScription website shows (sm)
a supervisor screen where that information is displayed. It also shows how much time you spent editing and how much time you spent typing. This is calculated by the week. Are you actually making any money editing VR on a line rate?
New Adventures of Old Christine one of the best new shows, I think
nm
No but I will look for the next episode. Love shows
nm
shows you how observant I am sometimes. sheesh.
thanks for letting me know.
This shows my computer illiteracy! sm
I was not aware that ability was there and did not have it set up. One of the people I spoke to yesterday asked me about that and it is something that I need to get set up -- but for this time, that won't help.
Whatever shows up on my screen. The work sm
is pooled by turnaround time.
Yes, because you do the jobs and they get sent off as soon as you spellcheck and the next one shows
