30 hours divided by four days equals seven-hour days. Most of us have to work pretty much every day
.
Working 6/hour days, 5 days/week I make
$42,000.00, but the work is there to make more if I want to. I'm in the southeast.
Thanks because that was really annoying ! nm
Oh yes. It is very annoying to say the least. sm
I take a lot of breaks during the day and go outside to get fresh air. I actually think the anxiety is what is causing the heart palpitations. I have a prescription for Xanax, which I cannot take and work, but I do use it at night before bed on a very infrequent basis.
yes really annoying
equipment, moaning patients, laughing and talking nurses, barking dogs, and children crying or trying to get mom or dad's attention (stop that, I'm dictating!) funniest one was an announcement over the loudspeaker about a pizza delivery to the nurse's station.
it's really annoying
happens quite a bit. I do get the credit though I put in a note that says dictator did not complete report but I still get paid for what I typed.
that would be annoying....
guess there is job security after all.
very annoying
I have an RN who dictates I have a problem with this chart. She also gives lab values and then says No, I don't like those lab values, just delete them. . It's very annoying and also, what does it mean? How can you not like the lab values. . . Just a little irritated this morning. . sorry to vent. .
annoying
It is just annoying to get your speed up on an account and get used to the dictator and then they go and quit giving you that work for a little while and then they want you to do it again. So wishy-washy. I don't get it. It seems like it would be easier on the company to put you somewhere and leave you.
annoying
Something that bugs me to no end is when dictators use the word "nor" constantly and incorrectly. grrrrrr.....
Annoying!
I have one female provider who sounds like she is sucking on a lozenge the whole time. Worse than that, one doc clicks his pen over and over while I wait for him to say something (which is usually impossible to understand anyway).
2000 low days, 4000 busy days
Did 43,000 lines last month. 6 doctors.
You can "make a living" if you work 16-hr days, 7 days
and if you rarely buy anything but food and the barest essentials in clothing. My balancing act is so precarious that all it'll take is one of life's little disasters (rent increase, sick pet, major car repair) to pull the rug out from under me. Not a good feeling at all.
ugh. baldwins are annoying now.
fat and bloated.
annoying dictator
Here's a good one; 7-1/2 minute dictation, first minute put on hold, then dictator dictates for two minutes, then says, Never Mind, Lets start this ALL OVER . And they wonder why we are tense 
Annoying dictator
If you are being paid by the line, I sure would dispute this! They have no idea, do they?
Do you ever get that annoying *bubble*
in your ear? I have one in my left ear today and I can't get it to go away. You know, when you talk and you can hear yourself really LOUD! I have tried popping my ears....I tried irrigation....I thought I may have had water in it from my shower this morning, but nope. It's driving me nuts and has made it very difficult to hear on that side today. Does anyone have any tips on getting it to go away?
Annoying crickets sm
You know, I love summer with the sounds of birds and all that, but this cricket outside my window is driving me absolutely batty. GRRR. 
ok now I see it - extremely annoying. NM

Management again. SO annoying.....
Gaaa
annoying doctor
I have to say you gave me my first good laugh today. I have had doctors fall asleep and say, well, you know my routine, but just let me know if you cannot figure it out.
Oh golly, that must be frustrating and annoying.
maybe you can make a game for yourself of second-guessing the QA folks. It sounds like they are the kind of ill-informed people who would rather cling to their ignorance like grim death than open their minds and learn something useful. If you look at figuring out their foibles as a game, maybe it won't rankle so much.
So annoying to get a good debate going, and then it's gone.

How annoying. What is it with the flaky factor?
Not transcription related but I am trying to get volunteers to help with a big community theater project and I don't know how many times I get the "oh yeah I will definitely be there blah blah" and I end up with mostly no-shows!!! I mean I know it's volunteer but why lie? If they don't want to, just $%#^ SAY SO.. Can't imagine people doing that to a real job, what idiots.
Put annoying redundants in your expander...sm
and at the end of your pay period, count them and either aggravate yourself or LYAO all the way to the bank!
extremely annoying LOL I just did one today where the doc kept using the first name or the middle
None of which was spelled. Wish they would make up their minds sometimes. It would be funny (I was getting a little giggle out of it at the time I typed it) if it weren't so frustrasting at the same time. Have a good one! :)
RE: I think they should send Paula home - she is so annoying........

annoying nomatter how you slice it - so true

Really strange, sorry it's annoying, we're cking to see what's up.

What is your most annoying redundant speech pattern? sm
You how doctors always seem to have a pet word? They will use it until you are ready to smack them.
Subsequently. Said by an ESL at least once in every sentence and pronounced sub see QUEENT ly. He is also says Prolene mess potch and plook for mesh patch and plug.
Next...next this, next that, next, now I...
At this moment. Did you know you can start every sentence in a 2-page report with at this moment?
then
then
then
and THEN I screamed and was heard in the halls of every hospital in America.
New nominee for most annoying doctor today s/m
This guy is walking on the treadmill while he's dictating, so not only is he so scatter brained he doesn't know what he's talking about, I get to enjoy the heavy breathing.
these boards allow you to "backhand" annoying people so you don't take it out on your famil
and don't be arguing with me today. you know i'm right.
I have one who yawns a lot. Kind of annoying but I guess he's just tired! (nm)
nm
Yeah, really! What an annoying, obnoxious, bottom-feeder she is!
Star sucks, bubbye loser!
In it to lesson annoying contact with the management species.
;p
His/her posts are annoying to you, becasue he/she knows more than you and beats you, admit it....nm

550-650 lph on average. Some days more, some days less. It all depends. nm

How? By working 12-hr days 7 days/week?
;LKJ
I hate shopping. I do mine on-line and avoid the annoying crowds.

In SEVEN days?
$30 in 7 days? You've got to be kidding, right? I could see $30 in 7 hours being bad, but in 7 days? Either way, it's still not even minimum wage. Aren't you worth at least twice minimum wage per hour? Granted, there is always a period of adjustment when starting a new account, but I won't even stick around that long if I can't even make minimum wage. Wow. That's all I can say. I think you know in your heart what you need to do. You are worth so much more.
I've been frustrated myself because I'm supposed to do so many lines per week. Monday and Tuesday were no work because the weekend people did it all. Wednesday was technical problems. Now I'm scrambling to get my lines in by the end of business today to reach my weekly line quota and get a half decent paycheck. I was basically on call for them for free for three days.
There's not much of interest to me on the Job Seeker's board either. Heck, maybe I'll take the next month off work and fool around for the rest of the summer until I can find something else. I should have backed up paychecks coming in to last until then. Good luck with your dilemma.
yes, just last few days.
Thought it was my computer - it acts like it can't keep up w/the typing and I'm not THAT fast...;) Now that I know it isn't just me though, I think I'll give them a call tomorrow if it happens again.
I think my MT days are over.....sm
I took a Federal job last year and kept one small, very part-time MT account. I got a 2-step promotion yesterday (lots more money), so I'm going to drop the MT account. This will be my first experience as a supervisor/work group leader. I'll probably still check in here, I actually use a lot of the grammar and software info. I loved MT, but the benefits and job security were a good move for me and my family. Best of luck to all. 
Most days I truly like my job very much; however,
today is not one of those days. After listening to dictators on speaker phones, chewing gum, and ESL's, today I don't like my job a whole bunch. Tomorrow will probably be different, though.
I had one of those days too.
Very draining. Hope it gets better for you.
It will still be there in 2 days
when I go on to work. They let it happen constantly. They are just glad someone is dumb enough to do the idiots the cherrypickers skip continuously. The funny part is one does get used to them although they still SUCK.
Unfortunately, I had it for four days...nm
.
I think I will try it a few more days.....
If I just can get it, then I will try another ergonomic style..
I think after two days..
I am getting the hang of it. I still hit a few keys wrong here and there, but I think I will end up loving it too! I have noticed that my hands dont ache at the end of the day and thats a +++!!
Does anybody else ever have days that you just
absolutely depise transcription? Usually I enjoy my job, but today McDonald's, Hardee's, Pizza Hut, cleaning toilets, etc. is looking better.
Ever have one of those days
 When you've typed an entire report and don't recollect having done it. You check it and it's correct. Frightening. My mind is elsewhere this morning. Too much caffeine (shh, don't tell my coffeepot). 
Having one of those days 2 days in a row!!!
Have had the same ESL the last 2 days who mumbles incoherently until the end when he suddenly puts the phone near his face and rattles off the last sentence crystal clear before hanging up. I would love to grab him by the _____ (pick a body part) and ask him very politely to please ennunciate and speak just a little bit louder.
Thank you. Done venting. Carry on.
