Makes you think you're losin yer mind, eh? I think it has to do with some
of the ads. I have tech support checking on it. Will let you know as soon as I know.
I totally agree and keep in mind the quality of the dictation where you're at currently. SM
You're already used to the dictators where you're at now. I can almost guarantee that the quality of the dictation will decrease and the number of ESL will increase whatever national you choose to go to compared to where you're at now. Even if you do luck out and a get a good account at a national, there is still the transitional phase where you getting to know the dictators, account specifics, etc. and your production will decrease considerably than what you are used to.
I'd stay where you're at, choose a national that you like, one that gets more positive feedback than negative, and try it on for size.
Good Luck!
Dirty old men. (SM)
I would avoid him. He won't change. He is looking at you like you are porn. Probably has few other women to gawk at. I'd take your mother out for lunch. It is very uncomfortable being around a man who is like him. I know. Have your mother visit you. She knows what he is doing.
Dirty Old Man
TELL THE SON OF A BITCH OFF NOW!!!! It will only hurt your relationship with your Mom, if she finds out and you haven't told her. Also, you need to tell your Mom. It sounds to me like they would be better off split off anyway.
Remember, you are the one feeling violated. Tell him OFF NOW!!
there is no reason for his behavior other than sexual. do it now, before you are really uncomfortable.

Oh, and you make it sound so dirty!

For what it's worth, I don't think that you were treated dirty...sm
They decided to go to EMR, which is their choice. It sounds as if you financially made out extremely well (very, very well) doing their transcription. How about charging a nominal fee to assist them in setting this up? In the end how do you know that the EMR will work out for them, and 3 or 4 months later they decide to go back to using a MT? It sounds like you made out like a bandit doing their work, and for what it's worth I would be quite reasonable fee-wise with this one in the hope that they may retain your services in the future. I don't think that you are going to run into too many gravy situations making $100.00 dollars an hour doing MT, and acyually they are not treating you dirty by deciding to try EMR.
Your mind was in the gutter up there with sauteed stool, too. Would you please take your mind out of
If you have the time to get down and dirty with some low-life bad debt,
As for me, I live and learn. Ever hear the phrase cut your losses. The more time you spend chasing down a bad debt the more loss you incur.

Truly sad when couples air their dirty laundry in public
Please, think of the children! 
I would feel sorry for Sh*ri except she is such an obvious whackjob who truly deserves whatever is coming her way. Baby, you know the old saying: What goes around, comes around. Obviously it's coming around back to you in spades!
Yeah, Anon, the dirty dogs!!! nm

why do people want to turn nice things dirty?
I am so sick of people like this that just seem to ruin everything. This is how it all starts!!!! I love that this is a place I could be with my fellow MTs since I work at home. This is like my office!!! I love that our mod is looking out for us. THANKS!!!!
I think you over-reacted. You made something dirty out of a child's innocent crush.

Plesae translate in English, I am n ot familiar with your dirty language..nm

a different room doesnt matter to a dirty old man "Been there done that" they dont care where
They still try. As long as they think they are "alone". Privacy is not a good thing in dealing with a pervert. Even if there are people in another room. You could scream but it would still be a situation I dont think she wants to be in.
Most are not even MTs anymore, bunch of redneck southerners mostly. Lost of dirty talk.

Yeah, he rocks alright..... the cradle! He is the epitomy of a dirty old man. Blech!

Totally agree. Her kids are brats and spoiled with dirty money. I know she works

For Pete's sake, you're not terminating a pregnancy, you're just typing a report after the
It's already been done before you even hear about it, and NOTHING changes regardless of whether you or someone else types it. Sheesh.
It's not funny when you're on a board where language is one skill you're selling.

Hope you're gonna have a glass of wine while you're relaxing
in your spa goodies. Congrats!
Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
If you're experienced, try for 9cpl or higher, and you're lucky to get that! nm

Skip it. No one cares. Either you're good on the test or you're not.

You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.
You're not going to find a word expander for free. You're going to have to pay

You're forgetting all the stuff you can't buy when you're UNEMPLOYED!
Unemployed people have a hard time buying anything, including cheaply made offshore products. How many will have to end up depending on public assistance? That means more tax dollars being eaten up - besides the taxes NOT being collected from the overseas workers. In the long run, are you really enjoying a lower price?
If you're on the job, ask for samples to do it how they want it. If you're testing, separate o

You're not losing it, you're burned out on your main job.
I feel for you... I am having my own "version" ;-) of these kinds of struggles. Lots of recent changes at the admin level have made my job do a 180, going from a really great one to a really crappy one.
For me, it's a struggle to get through the day with a shred of motivation. I get distracted in the way you discuss as well.
I just try to make my environment as comfortable as possible and make the best of it while I decide what the best way is to deal with the burnout... I figure if I can't change my inner brain workings so that I still like this job, I need to find another one, or this feeling will possibly get worse!
I hope it works out for you. Wish I had some better advice for you, but this really does look like burnout and extreme job dissatisfaction to me. We all wear it differently. Try to be good to yourself while you figure out a solution.
Don't know what you're complaint you're making with this post. sm
You stated in your original post that you don't want to work weekends or odd shifts. What is your definition of an odd shift? Second shift? Third shift? Sounds like you want to work M-F on days. Sounds kind of rigid to me. 
Personally I like second shift, so everyone working days means more work for me!

I don't get it when husbands and wives *allow* the other to have money that THEY work for...just don't get it. Go buy the flippin' keyboard and tell him to take a hike! (To put it sweetly!)
Why is it the only expander you're permitted to use? How would any know what you're using?

If they're withholding taxes, you're not an IC.
As an IC, you should already be paying taxes. That said, the only benefit having them withhold FICA is that your Social Security/Medicare share will be less. Social Security is 15%; if you're an employee, you pay 7.5% and your employer pays 7.5%. As an IC, you pay 15%. Doing the math, 0.0925 would be your 0.10 minus 7.5%--the 0.0924 is just a tad less than you're making now.
We're out here (good MTs) but we're busy! sm
I don't recall ever taking an employment test where I wasn't offered a job. My MTSO does not even look at my work unless I happen to have a question or a blank, which happens maybe once in every 30 or so reports with an ESL. If you find a really good MT, how much training would be involved? Certainly you would save time in the long run once they're trained and you don't have to check all their work.
If you're one of the MTDesk clan then you're ok

You're right if you're single it's tough.
I am an IC as well, but I have a husband with benefits and makes a fair buck. I am fortunate after 20 years to able to work from home. I worked on site for 17 years with a "chocolate cake" the day I left. Nothing more... The loyalty in any profession is gone, gone, and gone again.
Most companies want new employees/ICs that will take low pay and that won't cost much in the way of paying vacation time.
I do take every Friday off and try only to get on to check e-mail, etc.
However, I wouldn't trade being here for my kids at this point.
There are headaches no matter what profession you are in. It seems if it isn't one thing it's another.
Raises? Out of the question in this profession since most are afraid they will lose the account including myself. I also underbid my last account because I wanted the account so bad. I should be charging more.
It is a neverending cycle really.
But, I still enjoy the work, so I guess that's the difference. It does take will power to sit and type. Some people need that boss hanging around to keep the production up and the incentive of a nice paycheck is just not good enough.
Good luck with your new job! Sounds great!
If you're new, good - if you're not a newbie, not so hot
Would need to know how long you have been an MT. For a newbie, this is a pretty good rate of speed.
However, if you have anything over a couple years of experience, then this is not too hot.
Also, what are the dictators like? Is it a "United Nations" account??
If you ARE capable of 200 lph or more and you can't seem to get it, then the problem has got to be with the platform you are using. In my experience, the platform into which you transcribe can make or break your paycheck - so if the platform stinks, then I hate to tell you, but there is no way you will be able to improve your line rate. I have quit jobs because of awful platforms more than once.
Would you mind ...
sharing that site with me? You can email me personally at kathy.eberle@gmail.com. I did get that very email and would like to know what everyone else has to say! Thanks!

LOL! Never mind - I see it now.
I was sure it wasn't there a minute ago! 
Keep in mind, please......
That if a company has more than, say, 10 accounts, that the recruiters just might not KNOW how difficult an account is. When you get a requisition for account #67, there's no telling whether it's the best account on the planet, or the worst.
Don't mind
Actually don't mind the lower income right then, because I am selling my house and can afford to lose a little, knowing that after the first of the year or so I can get my line count back up.
keep in mind
In addition to the good comments made above you must also be aware that if you are going to a program that may upgrade occasionally and is not static you may well run the risk of losing your autotext entries. If you are really good about backing up your files, good for you and no problems really, but if you are like the rest of us and forget more than you remember to back up .. you could have one horrible day when you see the file not convert or some such ugly thing!
If you don't mind (sm)
your money being used to support anti-reproductive choice terrorism, go ahead and join.
Please keep in mind
how good you are feeling since beginning the drug, and that all drugs are very individual in how they event anyone. You really should not make a decision for yourself regarding some one's experience.
