Yeah, all that stuff is hard to deal with. I told my mom years ago to - sm
make a list of what she wanted to go to who-- she poo poo'd it saying people shouldn't fight over the stuff, etc.and that should not be necessary. Now luckily my brothers and I have not fought over things, as the only daughter my dad let me have what clothes and coats I wanted (plus my brothers had no desire for this and I was the only one the right size too), though he wanted to keep her jewelry for some strange reason. He did divvy out a few things between me and my 2 sisters-in-laws; but held onto the expensive stuff. At the time he had plans to give it to his then new girlfried, which needless to say pissed me off a lot. He also wanted my mom's fur coats back for the same reason, though he never formally asked he did heavily hint, and I did not volunteer them. He has since married this lady and FINALLY has come to the conclusion that he shouldn't give her my mom's good jewelry, though he has not given it to me as yet which is what she wanted...she told me many, many times she wanted me to have her stuff with a few things to go to my sisters-in-law (which my dad did do). So I don't know if I will ever get her other jewelry or not (I am a gold and silversmith to boot so I love jewerly as it is), my dad might have sold it for all I know, I hope not. I don't want it for the $$ but for sentimental reasons and to pass onto my 2 daughters eventually. One of these days I will get the nerve to ask my dad about it, not the easiest of things to discuss.
Hey, there we go! Good stuff, Maynard.
That's what we needed with the IC stuff, keep it real, now.
Good way to keep her accounts. SOMEONE has to read this stuff over
EVERYONE makes mistakes.
Happy for you that you found the good stuff...sm
Happy that you found a better man than the first husband. I, too, was married to a controlling (though he didn't get far with me in that regard because I cannot be *controlled* and since I'm a teenager) french frog whom I divorced 15+ years ago for my SANITY. My sanity became an issue and I became my own Hero........and have been V_E_R_Y happy DAILY without him. *L*
I will never marry again....fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me. I believe marriage is NOT normal...but hey, that's just me.....I believe marriage is an institution and I do not need to be institutionalized. 
If you want the good stuff, work GRAVEYARD, or

They are giving good stuff to pets and newbies, and if you
gave them your blood for a year they think they can walk all over you.
Good grief people, what;s up with all this drizzle stuff??
Someone who unfairly grabs the easy stuff instead of doing the good, bad, and ugly,

For this account, I charge 0.12 cpl. It is very easy clinic stuff with good dictators, but ...
I also do tapes which are horrible so I'm considering upping my line rate especially if all this aggravation keeps up. When I first took the work, I thought I was being fair because the work was so easy, but then they asked me to do tapes and then work specific hours, print and deliver work three times a week. I wish I would have addressed more than TAT and line rate in the original contract. I do charge them a $5 per delivery fee because of gas prices, but still I think I'm getting the shaft.
Oh well, live and learn. I am negotiating for a local doctor's office here in my hometown, small one doctor office, and I'm here to tell you I will be negotiated every little detail right down to paper and toner charges!

Yeah, and we are doing such a good job
protecting ourselves over here. Are you crazy? They picked up a handful of muslim men crossing the Mexico border into Texas. They didn't speak a lick of Spanish. I wonder how many others get across they never pick up. If you think that Bush went to Iraq for anything other then political reasons, you are crazy. I support our soldiers over there 100%, and I think since we started we have to finish it. If we didn't, we would be crazy. Bush did not have our best intrests in mind though. He might have fooled everyone in thinking he did. That is why he had such support. Every war has been political. I never said be nice to them. I never said war was not neccessary at times either. We have done nothing but breed more of them by our actions though or lack thereof. When you see the next terrorist attack on US soil, then you will see what a fine job our president has done in protecting his people.
Also, I don't have anger problems. I just feel very strongly about certain issues. Like I said before, there are 2 sides to everything. Everything is not so clear cut, and I get sick of people who want to put a generalized idea out there and think that it applies across the board or people who are so quick to judge others, but have never even been in a situation where they know what they are even talking about.
Oh, yeah, that's not good.
they need to get rid of her- its a patient care and safety issue!
I know exactly how you feel because you don't want this shoddy work to go out and I wouldn't either, but I wonder if your company takes for granted you will fix it so it enables them to do nothing about it? You might remind them that while this may be saving money for them at the moment, when a mistake she made ends up causing patient harm, what will be the cost then? Good luck.
Yeah - that would mean you don't get good signal out there. sm
But you might inquire about the future plans for that area. Verizon progresses pretty fast.
Oh yeah and good luck!

Tinks - what goes around comes around
Through at me -- should this be "threw at me" - I know that we all make mistakes but when you come on defending and bragging about what you did you should double check spelling. I had one IC/friend that did that to me when she went to an overflow account and became their main "back-up" instead of my company and once she did that yes I did take back her primary account so she lost money. What goes around comes around and out here in Oregon it is a very small community of small MTSO's and when you do that your name gets out there and no one will hire you. She came begging for work especially when I landed this new account but could not help her out. It may have worked out for you this time but watch as someone could do it to you. I bet you have non competitive clause in your contract as you don't want someone doing to you what you did to someone else. Kind of like the cheating spouse. Forgive me if I do it but don't you dare do it to me. Just me thoughts.
Tinks, you are right on! but I am
finally getting off the merry-go-round as I am sick! Sick of MT all together, literally am getting an ulcer, and figure it's time to call quits after 11 years. Can't stand it anymore. IMHO, hospitals, clinics, docs need to take MT back in-house where it belongs. These MT companies are a scam and scam and scam and scam. Oh, and did I say scam? Well, for me, I'm outta here next week, and dreading every minute of it!! 7 1/2 more days of this BS. As for the BOS, what a laugh, another scam!
Well said Tinks!!!
 = great Transcriptionist (experience), not how many tests you can ACE!!! So many specialities, so little time..................
You the woman!!!!
Hey Tinks......
I don't know what Anon2's problem is, but you are NOTHING like Kikki. She was nuts! You were simply discussing a topic that was brought up on the board. And with this last post you were just resolving a point in the discussion....that's all. If Anon2 doesn't like you and your posts then Anon2 needs to just skip your posts. Simple as that. Don't sweat it. This board is full of craziness at times. LOL
Tinks - Very well said! (nm)

Tinks, sorry but 1 cpl can add up. That'd be about
:)
Thank you, Tinks, for summing it up
I have to fight so hard to overcome all the difficulties that has befallen this child, give up so much for her, love her so unconditionally...and it was necessary that I take her ... or lose her to a foster home or adoption and never see her again.
Yes, it made me angry at all the players involved that have walked away from this child, the ones who said they loved her but left her life once someone else sheltered her so they don't have to and can go their own ways, never thinking of the effect it has had on her or on me, never offering to help when she is ill or needs reassurance that she is loved...the vain ones, the selfish ones. I took her away from the felons, the drug dealers, the prostitutes and have to fight to change her perception of the world to one that is in her best interest. It can cause terrific stress...it is a daily struggle.
And it was the indulgence of vanity that sent me over the edge for the day. To everyone who critized me and said ugly things about how you perceive I feel about the child: Walk in my shoes and those of 6 million Americans who do what I do...give up my life, my financial security, my stability, change jobs because of uncaring employers, for the sake of saving a child, and if for one day of the year, something (whether it be vanity or lack of sunshine for the day) doesn't get under your skin, then you may be more perfect than I. Until you walk in my shoes, don't critize which ones I wear. As I said before, vanity didn't bother me yesterday and it won't bother me tomorrow. It only bothered me today because when you peel everything away, I resented transcribing reports on vanity surgeries when I could have been attending to this child or doing reports that for today I felt were more important, having a few members of family around me in a relaxed environment to strengthen me for the next 6 months...
I took one day out of the year to vent and get it out of my system. Not too bad for what she and I have been through! As someone else said there is always tomorrow...today is gone!
I agree 100% Tinks. No more $$ from me.

If you don't like the posts Tinks
makes, why do you even read them? You can skip and go on to something else. Why don't you go on the comedy board and lighten up?
i agree with tinks and
if they say the client is complaining, chances are that it is NOT anyone of importance. it is quite possibly a clerk who wants to feel important. i have been through this with a hyphen (yes, a hypen). such a waste of everyone's time.
Tinks - you are reading
was gonna post that there HAD to be a catch somehow, the post is just written like that....
Agree with Tinks.
nm
I totally agree with you Tinks.
I don't think you are being rude, just telling it like it is. I am sorry for the poster that she did not pass, but I have not noticed any increase in my pay whether CMT or not. Yes, some companies might pay a little more, but it is just not worth it. I have seen terrible work coming from some CMTs and better quality from those not certified, it just depends on the MT. Just passing the test and being a CMT does not necessarily make a better transcriptionist.
For the poster that failed the test, I sincerely feel bad for you and hope if your dream is to be a CMT, that you some day will pass it and get what you want.
I personally don't feel it is worth it and we are not recognized or appreciated. I was just offered an IC job doing hospital work at 7 CPL. This is the same rate that was 20 years ago.
Oh, please. Tinks hides behind her virtual
water coolers and lobs virtual spit balls while hiding. A little different than a man in a suit having the hutzpah to say something. Not a good analogy. You admire her? Ha, must be lots of room to hide behind her and that water cooler. Bahahahahaha....yup, all offices need you guys, or life at work might just be pleasant!
You pretty much said it Tinks. I agree with you !!!..nm
x
Didn't read, did you, Tinks?
The company repaid my testing fee (I'm a member, it cost me $195).
Plus I get about $6000 a year more by the CMT production bonus.
So, get off your garbage can. It IS profitable.
If you don't care for the AAMT, that's okay. However, they are the standard and their standard has given me $6000 a year more in salary just for proving I can pass their test.
Okay, Oscar, fire away!
Like Tinks said, she needed to be home with her child
who was sick. People have different reasons for doing everything in life. It seems to me that she does pretty well for herself. To say that we are just trying to be housewives though and are not professionals is just ridiculous.
I also sure do not like being told that I cannot make it in a job outside of the home when in fact I have and will again. We are not trying to be super moms, but just trying to work and be happy like the rest of the world.
And I find this all very amusing coming from a person who keeps stating that she has a housekeeper and a gourmet chef for a husband.
Some of the ladies here are single moms trying to make it and have a career. Somebody needs to get off their high horse.
You go, Tinks! You'll have to let us know so we can find it on the internet and see it.
I feel exactly the same as y'all. I think we could start by sending letters not e-mails to our respective state legislators. And it would certainly not be a bad idea to send a letter to the presidential candidates. I bet Hillary would do something about it. Anyways I hope she would. My SIL is Indian. He was down here last weekend and told me he received an e-mail encouraging him to get into MT for only $450! he's a bus driver. Scam, scam, scam. He also told me that Indians are all crooks, and those are his words. he told me many stories of people stealing, bribes being expected, etc., even from the law and customs officials and the post office, on and on. So there ya go. Some may think our info is safe over there, I think not.
I have thought about contating our local TV/newspaper for the same reason -- to expose the dirty little secret at the big hospital here in town.
I agree with Tinks....no such thing as a 65 character GROSS line....unless
you just so happen to type 65 characters during on that particular line. LOL
A gross line can be a full typed line or it can be one word on a line to complete a sentence that began on the prevous line. But it gets counted as an entire line.
I think I smell either VR on the easy stuff, or offshoring of the easy stuff.
d
Yeah, yeah, that should be "your work..."
Yeah, baby, yeah.
We are here for the long haul.
stuff
I really, really saw a shooting star or an angel or something the day before my Dad's funeral 10/15/00. It was a crystal clear day, I heard something that just lead me outside and I looked up and saw the shooting star or whatever. My Brother-in-Law saw it too because he was outside washing the cars. But it was a calming thing, like he was giving us a signal that he was doing just fine.
QA stuff
I have a hard time with ESL's but I was trying my best
I'd tell them to stuff it, but that's just me
Sick of the way the companies refuse to let the facilities or the physicians know when they're just being ridiculous and take it out on us because we're "nobody important."
