Any body has heard about counting lines a 60 bytes?
I thought line counts was characters or keystrokes. I have been approached by a MT company who say they charge as "bytes". Does anyone know how we count using bytes?
D'oh! You're right. I saw lines and my brain just went with it.

I do! I usually get mine at The Body Shop and Bath and Body Works. Thanks for posting that link. Do

Back to lines per day, please see message...
Oh, you misunderstood me. I was tested at 70 wpm on a typewriter, not a computer, without the benefit of word expanders. I do use Instant Text, I do put everything in it that I can find. However, I have no "normals" and have never had a day when all I did was mammos etc. It's always different and only very rarely (less than once every day) do I get a "normal". I find myself wondering if there isn't something else I can do to speed up or if I'm just getting the "crappy" jobs. You know 5 lines here , 10 lines there. All requiring me to open and close in Meditech (you know if you've used it... Return return return to file). Where do you find a national that will let you do CT's or MRI's or even mammo's all day long? My dictation is comprised of 75% x-ray reports (short) and 25% CT's, MR's, etc. Is there a company out there that let's you do mammo's all day? If so, please tell me who and where!
Yes, I'm back. 3 hours=255 lines. Think I'm just a little upset here!!!!
If they have access to how the lines are counted on the back end - see inside
They can go in and maybe make changes to what their counts actually were. Anything is possible. It does sound fishy to me. I would go to your supervisor and ask in such a way as could the other girls possibly show you any tricks they are using that might benefit all of you and open up communication that way. That way you are not accusing anyone of anything. Worth a try. 
2000 lines everyday but one since my kids went back to school.
I can finally get back on a routine and get some work done. Now, if I could just stay off of MTstars! LOL.
Hand pain - needing to cut back lines per week. Anyone else done this?
I have so much hand and wrist pain from all this typing. I only do 5000-6000 lines per week and that is torture. By the end of the week I have slowed down so badly it is ridiculous. I think I am going to have to cut way back before I trash my hands and wrists for good. Has anyone else had this problem and cut back on MT work? I'm trying to think of other jobs I could do for a few hours a day to make up the difference ($$)that don't involve typing.
I agree. Still eats like a pig, fat as a pig, but
brags how much weight she lost? Obviously Curves does nothing to teach you the proper foods to eat or proper quantities, does it? Face it, you must have just purchased stock in the company and want new members to join it. I do not believe a word you say.
Even the man who weighed 550+ pounds and is walking across country which is a lot of exercise, has only lost 50 pounds in 10 weeks.
You are not losing 5 pounds a week eating a handful of doughnuts and a half a gallon of milk every morning, and stuffing your fat, ugly face with everything else during the rest of the day.
It is her body, but now there is ANOTHER body inside of her. sm
Right now I counsel pregnant teens as I had 2 myself and regret that decision every single day of my life. I've learned over the years that God has forgiven me and that my 2 babies are waiting for me, but the guilt and shame that this decision ultimately brings isn't worth it. Besides, that baby sooo deserves a chance at life, love, and laughter. Don't you agree?
I agree with Ronald Reagan: I am Pro Choice - if the baby has a choice, then I am pro choice.
No, she only eats chicken... that died from old age... LOL
Hypocrite?!
Please don't flame me, but I'm glad somebody eats meat. That's how my husband supports us,
cutter. I do think that everyone has the right to make the choice whether to eat meat or not. Some days I want meat really bad, and other days I can do without it. I'm glad that I live in a country where I can make the choice for myself and everyone else can make their own choice, too. 
QA lady don't read books like Eats Shoots & Leaves, obviously
this is a great read for those of us who are "Punctuation Sticklers"!
Ask QA if she if anal- retentive is spelled with a hyphen! (This is the true test of a QA person).
A friend of mine puts her fork in and twists the kernals on it and then eats it.
It's not as messy this way.
Mass affect on brain or mass effect on brain?

Let them be alive and let them know help is on the way.
You never met a person who is working at a miserable job until you have met a coal miner. I grew up in a coal mining town with company houses, a company store, the "circle" (where the company bosses lived in their McMansions). These men came home and simply sat there, staring into space. Some drank too much beer, many actually. They made good money but I really do not think they felt well after 10 years in those mines as they never did anything but sleep and work and just sit there at the kitchen table or where ever their favorite place to sit was. I thought that they probably did not feel very well. Of course, this was back in the 1960s and 1970s. Maybe things have changed. Working conditions were very bad. I felt sorry for these men. They rarely talked much at all. Most seemed to end up with black lung.
Moderator still alive?
Indians wanting jobs on job seeker board too.
I can't think. I mean to finish: wish everyone there was alive and well and the tragedy was just

Finding Your Friend Alive
It is very possible your friend is still alive, as they are still finding people alive every day and if he is still in the area, unfortunately there is not much in the way of any phones working in these hard hit areas, so it wouldn't surprise me if he is still alive. Have you searched all of the Red Cross Shelter lists? Everyone who is at a shelter has to have their names put on a list and there are new names being added everyday.
Let's keep the misogyny alive! Yeah!
And Eve got us kicked out of the Garden of Eden because she used her "feminine wiles" on Adam and he was older than her but couldn't make his own decisions because she FORCED him to eat the apple. Take it to the religion boards.
The patient lives with her parents, who are both alive and well.
I would hope they'd be alive. 
12 FOUND ALIVE - THE MIRACLE DID HAPPEN.
She has to be the dumbest person alive to have stayed
married to an alcoholic and drug user, and to have had children by him. She endangered the lives of those children. She is blind, says she never sees anything bad that the press reports. Maybe that is because they are sheltered and protected from any protesters so they can continue to think they are the king and queen of the world.
Sorry, I think you're all wrong. This is the sexiest man alive...!

POLL: Sexiest Male Celebrity Alive?
I still go for Tom Cruise everytime! I know, he's weird, but I simply can't help it!
Open your eyes. Poverty is very much alive in our own country.
in the old days, most animals raised for consumption at least got a life while they were alive.
not anymore.
Not only are they treated with unbelieveable barbarity, the producers are destroying irreplaceable GOVERNMENT (meaning, it's OURS) owned forests and range for feed - more and more each year...not to mention the absolute filth rampant in the industry - they have them so crowded and unclean that it's a wonder MORE e.coli and other diseases aren't pandemic.
Go visit a slaughter house - any slaughter house. Yep, it's not that hard to give up meat. It is totally unnecessary in anybody's diet.
I have to admit though, when the neighbors are barbecuing a slab of pork, my mouth waters and my brain goes into DESIRE!!!
Numerology, astrology, elvis is alive, space aliens:
Stuff made up by not-too-bright people with too much time on their hands.
guess she is alive and kicking, quite hard at that! how is it we follow her books so religiously??
she designs MT pretty much as it is today, then blows it off as not cost-effective etc etc?
Will be a nurse-practitioner...but I'll keep my MTSO as long as it stays alive...

I don't know why any body would

body art
saw it in Philly; awesome!
Aaahhhh, now I get it. Gross lines vs. Character lines. I guess I've just been conditioned to
think in terms of character lines. One of the perils of working as an IC for somebody who defines what a line is versus owning your own company and defining it yourself. After working for someone else for 15 years, maybe it's time to bust out on my own.
No body issue
Yep, it has been done, next state over, young girl named Carrie Culbertson, missing now for close to 6 yrs?

There are still body stresses.
Physically, the stresses are still the same, the sitting, and while you do not have all the heavy keyboarding, you still have neck, arm, leg swelling, back hurting, and all the little things that just go naturally with sitting at a computer all day. Your tendinitis should improve, however!

NOT!
executive body scan???
Could this be correct? Outcoming being discovery of gallstones.

Stop and think MTBusy-body
A professional company, well organized, will have the specs on the accounts UP FRONT, on file, before you start the account. Did you not stop to think about that? If you are going to come down on the girl, come down on the company, where the problem begins. A well organized company has the specs on file, gives the preferences of the particular client and does not waste time sending preferences piecemeal. Geesh, did you not think of that?
start with the inside of your body
and drink a lot of water. The rule of thumb is 6 oz per pound of body weight.
Exactly- my brother is an ex body builder
and certainly very masculine, but he gets a pedicure every month - his wife is all for it (you know how those hooves can get, guys! LOL), whitens his teeth, highlights his hair, and shaves his entire body (left over behavior from body building days, no doubt).
Is anyone out there that is heavy truly comfortable with their body? sm
I have had a struggle with weight my entire life. As we speak now I am on Weight Watchers. I don't want to be model thin because I know that is never happening and some people aren't made to be that way. I am tall, an inch from being 6'. Before when I look at pictures I am thinking "Hey, I was not so bad. I DID carry my weight well." But during those times I thought I was horrible. Now, just topped the scale to 300 and I am scared to death! In the past year, since working from home and being depressed, I have put on an easily 50 lbs. I weigh more than I weighed with being 9 months pregnant with my son.
Anyway, I know for my health I need to get my weight down. But the question is - if you are heavy, how do you feel good about yourself and your body, enough to let that stress go so you can focus on other things in life? This consumes my every thought. Sometimes I think I need to see a psychiatrist to get this matter resolved.
I pray daily and ask God to help. I feel if I can learn to have a better self image of myself that I CAN conquer this goal and lose the weight.
Tips please....I don't look at other heavy women as ugly and fat. A lot of people I couldn't imagine being thin, yet they look great! I just wish I could picture myself that way.
BTW - in the almost 6 years my husband and I have been married, he has NEVER seen my naked, even when I wasn't so heavy. It is always "give me the covers, turn out the lights" and never intimate without clothes on. I want real intimacy. I want to feel good about myself. How do I achieve this while in the process of losing weight?
Selling body parts in the US sm
There was a brief mention of a recent arrest (I believe it was in New York) of a phony business set-up involving funeral homes, etc., selling bone grafts, etc. from dead bodies (one was supposedly Allistair Cook's body of the PBS fame) and replacing these parts with PVC piping in some cases. These people made "millions" and the patients/families had to be notified. One man was practically crying because he had been told he has to be tested every 6 mos. for HIV, hepatitis, etc., since he had a recent surgery on his neck. They said it may not present itself for years in some cases. They showed some gentlemen being led away in handcuffs but the story was cut short. Anyone else know about this travesty and why so little else has been said about it or is there any web site, etc., that explains it in more detail? Would like to know morel I am very concerned for the recipients as well as the unbeknownst-to-them "donor" families. 
Couldnt they just run a magnet up his body

oh please. Put in a brain. Unfortunately your
type of thinking is very common in our field.
