Can find lots of the Sted's books at www.half.com, too. Love 'em! nm

Love 'em or leave 'em
I don't have a real solution, but I have been known to log off of that account whenever I see this happen. I then try to find work on one of the other accounts to which I am assigned, but there is often no other work available. I conclude that the only choice is love 'em or leave 'em. A private client might be nice, but that brings other headaches.
I love 'em too. I can dream, can't I?
You gotta love 'em
I had a CNP who prounced epistaxis without the "s" - epeetaxis. I won't even tell you what she did with some drug names. The really fun one was when she stumbled three times over cerumen, never did pronounce it correctly and then spelled it for me.
Newbies, you gotta love 'em
That bubble will soon burst! I don't make 16 cents per line, and I have 10 years of experience in all specialties, acute care, ER, clinic...Ah, to remember the newbie days...I had that "go get'em" attitude. I miss those carefree days.
I love 'em too but type everything else but and Progress notes (sm)
DOUBLE YUCK.
I have 2 clinics still on tapes, love'em! Also work for a national. Like that too. nm

Lots of 'em, but use a Lab Words, Sted's Ortho/Rehab Words, & Tessier's Surgical Words most

Longevity as an MT doesn't mean a higher wage. Lots of us out here still earning less

Feel free to email me about this. Lots of choices nm

Lots of us use it for testing, some even for working. nm

LOL! You calls 'em as you sees 'em, girl!

Remember, there's a reason lots of these folks are working at home. nm
it's not because their interpersonal skills were just too good for the traditional office.
A big hug, a kiss, and lots of love and attention! nm

I love the Dollar Store....lots of things there. nm

If U can't beat 'em join 'em
This is NOT the only industry that outsources and you are fooling yourselves if you think that it will stop.
I take MetaboLife, ephedra free. Love it, lots of energy. nm

Love Dr. Oz! He's funny, knowledgable, and makes lots of sense. nm

Is Venom ER still on? Learn lots about snakes there. Love that Dr. Bush! nm

Anybody else not feel like working today?
You know how you're sleep deprived, then when you catch up on your sleep, you feel even more tired than before? Ugh. I slept for 10 hours last night. I've got a killer headache. All the work coming up on my account today is lousy. I'd rather be doing anything else right now. Time to set the timer and get 'er done.
Working for a national, do you ever feel you can't ask for
an increase in pay because you're concerned you'll price yourself right out of a job?
I make 9 cents a line IC. I get my line count pumped up to where I want by hard work on the accounts I'm working. I get pretty efficient in that account and then I get pushed to different work where I have to start all over again and work really hard to make a decent line count. It's seemed to happen again, so I'm thinking about requesting a pay increase but then I start thinking that I'm already at a "better than most" pay from what I've seen posted here and elsewhere. What do you think? I'm interested in opinions if anyone will share. Thanks.
Does anyone else feel like you're always working
i feel like i'm typing constantly!! my whole life is type type type type type
I feel like I'm working my @** off for pennies

True, but that doesn't mean we have to embrace it by working for these companies!
have a spine and absolutely refuse to work for any company that outsources offshore.
Actually, no don't feel weird working at home.. sm
You make a life outside of MTing too. Your message was "who smiles at everyone way too much and tries too hard to make conversation." I'd say, how nice, how kind, how interesting to be around. As opposed to the years of office toods (attitudes), back-biting all the time in offices, no thanks, no thanks ever again. Just tell others you meet you work at home making a living and look at their eyes (they wish they could too, oh yes) the longing for peace and some measure of tranquility. You CAN be a very interesting person to be around.
Do you think you would feel isolated working at home?sm
I do have children and I have worked at home for the last 7 years, the whole time they were both infants. I have one in school now and one in preschool. You are right. There are benefits to being able to pick them up or staying out with them, and I hadn't really thought about the costs of clothing, gas, etc. - good point. Thanks for your input.
Know you feel...used to love this job..
but any more, I work a couple of hours and feel I have done 8 hours' worth. Just an awful feeling, so much so that I get knots in my stomach.. Think it is just burn-out? Don't know but wish I didn't have to work, still trying to hit the lottery! Seems anymore that the doctors don't care if I can understand them or not, and it is most depressing, hair-pulling, knots in the stomach feeling. If I EVER find a way to get over this, I will definitely let you know! :) Maybe a lobotomy!! Yeah, that's the ticket! LOL.
anyone feel weird working at home all the time?
Who smiles at everyone way too much and tries too hard to make conversation?
I get less done when my husband is laying in the bed - I feel cheated if I am working while he is re

I know how you feel. Working at home can be distracting, just having other things on our minds (sm)
like dirty dishes in the sink, piling up laundry, a bed right across the hall to take a nap in. What works for me is tune everything out including internet distractions and e-mails, phone calls. No more than a 10 minute break every couple of hours, 30 minutes lunch time and just hit those keys. The end result can be pretty rewarding.
One week of working on a new platform and I do not feel it is user-friendly
Editing itself is not bad. It is the documentation of the changes I made, I think for purposes of feedback to MT, which I have to do on Word (outside of the platform) that is driving me crazy and is eating up a lot of time. I do not think I am being productive. I am paid an hourly rate but I am almost embarrassed with my production. I think doing QA without going the through the MTing using the same platform presents a lot of difficulty. Is it too early to decide whether this is a good fit for me?
Who doesn't love Chris on AI. I haven't been watching AI
but Chris is a hometown boy and there are clips of him on the news all the time and articles in the paper, clips of the other contestants as well on the local Fox channel. I happened to walk through the den where my son was watching AI when Chris performed. I thought the song was horrible and he was even worse. All I could think was I sure hope he doesn't win. They keep playing the clip where he sang the Johnny Cash song and I thought his version was horrendous. He is a rocker obviously and screams, but you can't really hear the words and with the music so loud and screaming even I could probably sing (and I am horrible). I like Taylor ? (the guy with the gray hair).
One more thing, I LOVE MY JOBS! Does anybody feel the same? nm

I love working outside, though the sun is an
issue. You just need some shade, from a tree, awning, or umbrella. I need sun, but sometimes find the day is gone and I haven't been outside, so the laptop allows me to do both. Also, when I work weekends and it is nice out, I can be outside with my family, even though I have to work. I don't think being outside will help at all with working 2 hours before breaking.
Don't you love it! It's like working in an
office but not working in an office! I get cheescake for my birthday.
Been working at ProScript for a while and love it...sm
Platform is very similar to Word. If you have high speed internet you could probably get 1200 lines done in 4 hours or so (I guess that depends on how fast you type, though). I don't have high speed, but software tells me my typing time and it is usually between 3-1/2 and 4 hours for me to get 1000-1200 lines done.
I love getting up and working at that time.
It was the only time that I could actually concentrate and have quiet time in my house. I have a 3-year-old son and grandkids that lived with me a couple of months ago...it was hard to try to work while everyone was doing their daily thing. So, I just started getting up and 4 a.m. was a good time. I would stop around 8 and get my mom/son's breakfast ready and get them situated. After that I could go back to work until I was through, taking breaks in between. I prefer the 4 a.m. thing...it works for me. You will have to find what works for you and I am sure that you will.
I love Iscriptor! I have been working
with it now for 6 months. I have not had problems with it being slow. It is very easy to learn and work with. It is easy to navigate and very user friendly. What company did you accept a position with? If it is the company I work for, I may be able to answer other questions.
That's why I love working from home. Too funny. sm
I helped my son out with his paper route the other morning because he was sick with a temp of 102. I'm walkng around, almost done with the papers, heading home, birds are singing, sun is starting to shine and then, ALL OF A SUDDEN, VAROOOOOOOM!!! About 4 cars go whizzing by, almost running me over, oblivious to their surroundings, obviously late for work again. Checked my watch and it was 5:45 a.m. 6 o'clock shift running late again. Can't get their Dunkin Donuts and make it to work on time unless they drive like a bat out of h...l.
I just laughed and laughed and thought, "Well geeeee, it stinks to be you doesn't it? Now why don't you take time out to fill up with GASOLINE!" HEE HEE!
I don't know why people are in such a hurry lately. Why don't they just set their alarms 15 minutes earlier for Pete's sake? I was taking my older son to work one morning and was at a red light at a very busy, accident prone, intersection. The light turned green. I always take a quick look left and right before going through the green light and I didn't even have time to glance to the left before the "A" behind me laid on his horn. Of course then I got funny and drove like a granny, just to make him mad. He ended up finding space to pass on the right and he gave me the finger.
Best - I love the freedom of working the hours I want -sm
--as long as the work is in my deadline my "employer" does not care when I work- WORST is when I procrastinate and then either have to work like a nut to get done, or stay up to ungodly hours to get the work done, or work all day instead of doing whatever project or thing I wanted to get done that day. ---I can deal with the taxes, yes its a pain, but my lack of schedule is well worth it to me.
I've been working just under a year and am on ER.. LOVE it!

Personally, I love working at home, but my
kids were already in school when I started 10+ years ago. I worked part-time at home in the evening when they were small, but my ex was there to help with them then. I would think it would be very distracting to work a full day with small ones, unless you were working an p.m. shift when they were asleep, but then there is no time for hubby. But then again, there are many who do.
Angela, dont feel so bad..We have kids spread out from 25 down to 8 and they all LOVE Vegas. In fact
We take him to the M and M factory and there are a lot of different things for kids..He especially likes the swimming pools. Our teenagers love the malls/shopping and our 25-year-old goes with us to Nascar..So pack them kiddies up and head to vacation. You'd be surpised how much fun you could have. One year we took 4 of our kids for Christmas..it was strange without the snow but they really had a great time as Vegas goes all out as only Vegas could in Christmas style..lots of decorations, shows etc..
the ergo beans wrist support is AWESOME!!! its like a massage while working...LOVE it and only 16 b
