In Reply to: Here I sat feeling so incredibly lonely. Wishing I could meet my soul mate - (See Message)
Thank you for post. I was so much happier when I had my 3 years of single life after my divorce and before I met him. My daughter and I were on our own, I had life by the horns. I didn't have much, but was so DARN happy and CONTENT. Funny how life works.
The mortgage I am looking at for lender #1 is WHEDA 5.375 interest, 30 year fixed. #2 is anywhere from 6 to 6.25 I have been told, 30 year fixed. The problem with the place is the real estate taxes are very high.
I will keep board posted. I am sure I will have my moments.

RE: Lonely - sm
My last baby is also headed off to college this fall - and I know the feeling. I'm not single but my husband drives truck and is gone all week so I will be here alone. I also just had to have my 16yo Springer put down. Thank goodness I have the two cats! Post your e-mail and maybe we can talk back and forth about it.
feeling lonely
My last "baby" is headed off to college shortly. Not only will I have an empty nest, but I am single and feeling a little scared about being alone. Just wondering if any of you have gone through this, and what it's like to find yourself alone - do you get used to it rather quickly or what?  I feel like such a big baby !
Does it get lonely in your special little world?
Did I tell you I won the lottery and won $3567 million?
maybe neighbor was lonely and wanted someone to have coffee with...nm

Gee, wish all these newyorkers would meet on the New York State board. It gets lonely up here.

Here I sat feeling so incredibly lonely. Wishing I could meet my soul mate
All the men I have ended up with sound like the guy you are with. Takes all the courage I have to pick up and leave them but staying with them destroys my sense of self esteem, my sense of humor, and dulls my passion for life.
Now, sitting here, quietly, sipping a capuccino, sitting in a robe, having no expectations (unrealistic) of me, not having the guy in my world stifling me or doing something out of this world to send my spiraling into my mind trying to figure out what he is thinking ...orrr the always present poor financial state that I always seemed to end up in when with a guy (my dad was alcoholic - had tendency to be with men who had character traits of addictive personality types)and all I can think of is life is passing me by cause I am not with a man.
There are worst things than being alone. Why do I forget this???
Follow your gut. Your kids will thank you. Children deserve a happy mom and you deserve to live the life you envision.
Was going to suggest that you wait to buy as I have a feeling some homes will end up in foreclosure as the interest rate increases and the monthly payments on ARMs and interest only loans increase, but if you have a small town that may not be the case.
Let us know how things go.
Who said I was unhappy?
I never said that. The funny thing is, I am extremely happy at Medquist. I am a high producer too. So, don't act like you know anything about me. What I know about you is that you are pathetic and you are coming on here all day and night and harrassing people on this board. It is sickening. So, have you decided who you are going to be tomorrow? Or, isn't this about the time when you start posting things and then answering yourself? ROFLMAO. Can't wait. Everyone, please stay tuned for the show!
Maybe she was just really unhappy with where she was (sm)
Sometimes people just end up in situations where they don't belong and are miserable and have to make a change. I'm sure it's nothing personal against you.
another unhappy MT
I have been sitting here all night trying to find a solution to this very problem, like I have many nights for the last several months. I am considering going to nursing school and giving up MT for good. I have never wanted to do anything but transcribe, have over 20 years experience just like you, but the inhouse hospital jobs are gone, as are the days of getting paid by the gross line, this editing crap is the final straw, I can no longer recommend this profession to anyone. It's really sad that nobody values the experienced MT anymore, the ones who take pride in their work, really sad..........................my income has gone from a net of $1300.00 every 2 weeks to barely more than $300.00! My husband passed away not too long ago and I am on my own now, really scary.
Don't worry -- they are the unhappy ones...
doubt they will ever find satisfaction with their attitudes.
They should be pitied for their woeful disposition.
They are embarassing themselves.
unhappy with mq supes
I know what you mean. I don't need constant contact with my supe, but when my grandmother passed away, my supe didn't say anything about it, no sorry, condolences, or anything!
Oh lighten up, unhappy one
unhappy people
I agree. They could care less. There has to be an end game. Maybe they're getting ready to do the India thing.
I agree. If you are unhappy with your job
for whatever reason (lack of work, jerks in mgmt) leave it and find another company -- there are others. If you don't want to edit, opt out. If you don't like the new plan, quit. Life is too short to waste time worrying about what might be forthcoming on 10/1.
To unhappy MQ oldtimer
Line rates can be deceiving. I make 8.5 cpl now, made 10 cpl for MQ. I'm much better off emotionally, mentally, physically and financially with the 8.5 cpl.
So....unhappy MDI-MTs - any idea where you will
look if it comes down to having to find work somewhere else?
Does husband know how unhappy you are? SM
Men are dense. I'm not kidding. You have to beat them over the head for them to understand. I'm with the woman below who says it will be tough for single mother with two small children.
Encourage him to attend counseling with you. Some people will say it will not work, but, believe or not, most men are scared silly of being alone and will at least try to keep the marriage together. Good luck. I mean it.
some people are just so unhappy,

I am unhappy about it, but those are the rules
No young lady here is happy about it. I'm tired of being called a lier. This was in place for years. My 40-year-old friend had to get one as she never had a license until now. I'm not crazy. I do not need help and I'm sick of being called a lier here. No, this was not in place when I was 16 and getting a perment to drive. As for my daughter being sexually active, she is focused on school and works from home typing phone notes for doctors along side me-- her choice. She will be starting a new job in the summer. She doesn't date and rarely goes out. So no, she has better things to do than screw around wth the opposite sex at this point in her life. Not all teenagers are bed jumpers. I'm not blind. I know some girls are, but she is not. I know her friends, they spend a lot of time together. Sex isn't an issue right now.
No, lots others unhappy here but
have more years than you and I work for lower wages but I am no longer having to provide for kids, etc. My pay now is not for every aspect of my life financially like it used to be. What I would say and have said this, if you don't make enough, if unhappy, things are not changing in this field, pay has gone lower over the years and you need to get more than 1 job to live on or move on.
not new or unhappy. having fun. wrong on all counts.
wouldn't want to be ya.
Unhappy cable net user
I am on cable internet right now and it is always going out. I was on Verizon DSL prior to cable and if I could switch back to DSL I would, but it is not offered where I live, only cable, so I am stuck. There is not a huge difference in speed between DSL or cable. I know you can pay a little more for the faster DSL package. I don't know what your paying now, but I pay $50 a month for cable internet and I was told i could get a way faster speed on DSL for less than that per month. Personally, I prefer DSL over cable just for the fact it only went out on me once in the 1-1/2 years I was on DSL. I have been on cable 1-1/2 years and I was down just the other day for over 4 hours.  I lose cable connect every month.
lol You're no employer, just an unhappy worker trying to cause
Good funny though.
Leave. For goodness sakes, if you're unhappy
get out. Stop this juvenile whine and complain behavior.
The only thing more ridiculous than your incessant whining is the fact that you have NO IDEA yet what the new plan is. You have nothing to base it on. What? The 20% ASR reduction? That was foretold upfront...it was a pilot program and the rates would be adjusted later. Well, later is here, people. This is not a new business concept. This happens all the time. The phone company does it with new services, industries do it with new products. You have an option -- opt out of ASR and transcribe. YOU HAVE A CHOICE.
Stop trying to incite panic. It's embarassing for supposedly mature, intelligent people to be acting like this. Grow up.
Reliable Internet Service? Currently using Earthlink and very unhappy.
I've been using Earthlink as my ISP but this past year the service has gone downhill. I've been without service at least four times this year for anywhere between a few hours to a day. Plus all tech support is out of the country so you spend more time than necessary asking the tech to repeat the instructions. I'm looking at Verizon right now. Comcast is not recommended. Thanks
very unhappy verizon customer, i switched about 6 months ago

Time to move on if so unhappy! I've left

Don't cap happy holiday season. Cap the others and Happy Holidays alone. nm

Sounds like exactly how I feel. MQ has a tremendous amount of unhappy people and could care less.
:
Heck, I did not say not to wish her a happy birthday! She deserves a happy birthday.
I was just saying her birthday was on Sunday!! :) Why does everyone always want to read something negative into everything on this board. I certainly did not mean anything negative by it! I was just makin' it known WHEN her birthday was!!
:)
HAPPY FOR YOU
Glad to hear you found the perfect match....I am still looking for someone to really work my own schedule like they advertise. Enjoy!!! If you have any suggestions for me finding a place to work your own schedule, let me know..
YES, i am happy there too, after 5 yr!

To Happy MT
I am happy at MDI just wish they would send a little more love our way. I switch to different accounts when they are short and work many weekends and if I am correct I have worked most of the holidays. I get a phone call or email last minute that they need coverage and I do not say no. I start early and finish late. I have talked to others in the same boat and they are sad. . I know they merged with Transend and it takes time to get things in order but when it seems that some get the bonuses and some of us are overlooked it does not seem right. I think they need to look at everyone in the same light and do the right thing.
Is anyone happy with MQ?
???
Happy now!
23 the first time (then-husband got the 7-year-itch). 34 second time. I had two miscarriages the first time around. This marriage - We have two great little boys!!
I am very happy nm

Happy so far
Hi, I have only been with MQ for 7 months, but I have friends that have been with MQ and have tried other companies, and the consensus is...their new system DQS (DocQscribe) is VERY user friendly compared to other company's systems. AND, as far as WE are concerned, MQ is very flexible time-wise. But I have read other posts that maybe new hires are more chained to a set schedule. My friends and I are out of 2 offices that seem to be very lenient as to scheduling. Personally, I work more hours than I signed up for. But, if MQ were to call when I am away from my computer, (bathroom), like a poster below stated about a different company, I would be VERY aggravated, especially since I am post-colectomy with less than satisfactory results!!! (If you get my drift.)
Be Happy about it
My 20-year-old son suffers every day from injuries he received during his high school football career. He has had broken bones, dislocated shoulders, and he has to wear a mouth brace due to jaw injuries. The medication he takes for his jaw has caused a stomach ulcer, which along with the pain from the jaw, caused his blood pressure to elevated. He said more times than I could count, "I wish I had not played football." Support his decision and be happy that he is not out there getting all banged up.
Happy here
Look, most people who are happy with a company don't just get on a message board to say, "I had a great day at work today," or "I think I make a decent wage and I'm happy with it." They get on to complain or ask questions or just to surf and see what others are talking about. The people who are complaining are loud and you hear them a lot. MQ seems to have more MTs who have been with them for 5+ years than any other company. That should tell you something right there.
Happy MQ MT
I wonder about the people that are so unhappy about MQ. Where did they work before? Was it inhouse? Did they come there direct from a school. What is it that makes the difference of some people being happy and others very disappointed. Why do some have an abundance of work and others have none? Is it the quality of work being done?
I am happy!
I am happy working at MQ. I come to this site usually for a good laugh, and sometimes I do post. I don't flame the people that complain all the time, I just wonder why they do?!?!?!
We should start a poll - Are you happy with MQ or aren't you - no big explanations - just a YES OR A NO. My answer is YES!
happy
I am happy with MQ!! I think the people who are happy with MQ (and I think there are a lot) just don't take the time to say so...so today I am!!
I USED to be happy but......
I haven't had a decent line count in almost a week and it has been 6 months since I had a second phone line installed and I have yet to see a single dime in reimbursement that I was told I would receive. Why do I stay? Because this is my first MT job and I've only been there a year. Who else will hire me at this point?
I am happy!!!

I'm happy!

I am sure that they are happy to have me
as an employee considering I am one of the only few who actually likes working for them. I am a high producer for them, as well. There would be no reason Medquist wouldn't be proud to have me as an employee. They need to get rid of the big fat losers like you.
How happy are you??
Are you not the same ER who was on here last week trashing the Amherst office?
I'm happy for you!
I, on the other hand, had my children in my mid to late 30's. I'm 45 and have a 12 and 5 year old. At 50, I'll have a teenager and another one who will be right behind him. There is definitely something to be said for having your kids when you are younger, not to say I am not enjoying mine - I'll be pretty old when they are on their own. 
I'm happy for you
Since your employer was confident in giving you more work, then I guess you have been doing the right thing this past year. Just keep it up and stretch those shoulders every now and then =).
Then I am happy for ya!
Glad you did something about it!
Very happy at OSi...
