Good luck. See what luck they're having on the
s
You're in luck . . .
It is $29.00 plus shipping . . . I waited a week for mine, but now I wish I had at least paid for 2nd Day Air. Check the link above my first post (tried to put it in the original post but did not work).
Unless there is a network to connect to, you're out of luck.
Basically, you need to have an available network (also called hot spot) that will allow you to connect to the Internet. The card is only hardware, not the actual network.
Even WITH health insurance, I think we're out of luck. (sm)
I have insurance with the same ins. company I had with my old employer. All we had to do was change a few addresses, right? Wrong. That in itself was a big ordeal. So now, I go to the dentist to get an extraction, and the chintzy dental insurance just BARELY paid for ANY of it. I paid out about $500, they paid only about $150.
So then I go back to the oral surgeon a week later for checkup & suture removal. Insurance didn't pay ANY of it.
So then I go to buy medication the other day. It's migraine medication I only use once in a great while, and it's NOT available in generic form. In the past (with the same ins. company), I paid a $20 deductible and they paid the rest. So imagine my surprise the other day when I finally ran out of the medication, went to refill it, and I was told the "co-pay" was $210! "Whaaaat????" I said. And it turns out the ins. co. only paid $17.21.
What is wrong with this picture!?!?!? What happened to co-payments being smaller than what the ins. co. pays?
So I call their phone number, and first I get some chick in... you guessed it.... INDIA. Told her I wanted to speak to an American. She was NOT helpful. So I took their company survey, and gave them all zeros. So THEN I get a call from an American. Not much more helpful, though she said that I had a yearly "deductible" of $250 for medications. ??????? Aren't "deductibles" supposed to be for the BIG stuff? Like setting fractures in the ER, or hospital stays?
So I said that the meds would most likely last another year, maybe year & a half. So EVERY time I get these pills, it's gonna cost me over $200????? And the Rx is for only NINE pills. I added it up, and that comes to about $25+ per pill.
I came home absolutely FURIOUS, and of course, I got another migraine! ("Your Health Maintenance Organization at work!")
Meanwhile, I'm overdue for a bunch of stuff like a physical, mammogram, and an MRI 4 years out from a tumor removal, to make sure it hasn't come back. NO WAY can I afford to have those things done (not on an MT's pay!), and have the insurance company stiff me like that. I'm about ready to report them to the Better Business Bureau. HMO's are a rip-off to the max, and are most definitely DANGEROUS to your health!
I wish you were the norm! Can't find 8.5 cpl for experience out here anymore. You're VERY luck

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! 
If only we were that luck!!
The web-based email progam SUCKS!! but no, I'm not saying I hate MQ....in fact, I love working for MQ. I'm simply saying the new email program sucks and I wish they'd never started it!
Wish I had that luck
Have had them since September and have been on the phone with them about 6 times since. Either my Outlook has errors or no internet and sometimes both. Each time they ended up having to assign me a new ISP #. I had Adelphia and switched to save a few bucks. Seriously considering going back as Adelphia is the only other DSL in my area.
No such luck...
The tech support guy at the MT office attempted to help me 2 days ago, but he couldn't figure it out either. He was the one that suggested the system restore. I am quite frustrated at this point to say the least.
As I said, best of luck to you! sm
You are fortunate and you know it. You are blessed. Have a great day!
Best of luck to you as well!
Interesting how people can see things so differently. I see my new profession as a way of helping animals get well and being kind to them.
I hated MT and am so glad to finally be out of that profession that I found to be way too solitary as well as unfulfilling. You, on the other hand, see it in a different way and enjoy it.
Very cool how we both found our perfect fit!
Thanks...I really did luck out!

I wish you the best of luck. sm
It is not easy going it alone. Please don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. I am praying for your peace, as well. Let us all know how things are going. Take care of yourself.
Best of Luck
There are so many great people here...we are your support system, so use it if you need to. PLEASE. Are you taking a laptop so you can stay in touch?
I Wish You Luck
I'm sending good wishes and prayers for you that everything works out. I'm sorry you don't have the support you need within your own family, but you have the support of people on MTStars
Not having luck
I appreciate hearing that, but I have been told by recruiters that I would probably only be able to do clinic work aside from ER without further training. I have a few discharge summaries with OPS notes that did include much unfamiliar terminology, and I had to leave blanks. If the dictators would speak clearly, I could just look it up, but that's a dream that won't come true LOL!
Did you have any luck?? nm

I wish I had such luck as you. nm

Everyone wish me luck, getting rid of AT&T
As of this morning, have signed up everything (except cell cause Charter does not carry) with someone other than the nickel and dimer, AT&T. I wrote them an email yesterday and do you think I got an answer? No. I am told their internet is much faster than what I have been used to and keeping fingers crossed. You know sometimes it is hard to change because you do not want to mess up and jump out of the frying pan into the fire. The issue of telling me at the first place I had to have land phone - even though I could not use- they would charge me a nomimal fee- so I could have my internet just sucks big time. That is the end for me. Getting the new provider hooked up 12/31 - just in time for the new year.
Best of luck to you. sm
Looking back 20 years that is how we screwed up - going home to work. I would jump at the chance to make what I made with bennies 20 years ago and no "middle man" involved. Good Luck!
No luck with BBB
I filed a complaint with the BBB last year when I didn't receive payment from Four Seasons Transcription as an IC. They can't help. Best thing is to either proceed to small claims court or hire an attorney. Unfortunately we don't have a lot of choices. I went to small claims court and got resolution. I would start there.
Luck?--Please! SM
That 11 cents includes incentive pay for high line production and requires this level of production over a week's period.
You know, working good and steady at a real job, which this is, just isn't punishment for many of us.
AND, a big plus of production pay is that you're actually paid more for working more. I spent years on a set wage where slugs slopping along through their shifts took home as much as those of us who were doing an excellent job because we couldn't stand to do anything else. And everyone's wages were relatively low, reflecting all that time so many spent spent chatting and goofing off. Now I'm paid a lot more equitably for the work I do. As are many of the complainers on this forum. (Those with genuine problems not related to laziness not included.)
Anyone ever have luck..,. sm
just sending out their resume with a letter to various doctors/clinics? I have a lot of experience in, and enjoy doing, podiatry work but it doesn't seem to be something a lot of big MTSOs are looking for. I can do the other work, but I am able to get much higher production doing Podiatry.
Anyone have luck going about it this way?
Anyone know any companies looking for someone with Podiatry experience?
THANKS!
Good luck. We each do what is best for us. nm

Good luck!
I used to be on MedRite with MQ-- loved it and it was SO easy-- then they switched to DocQScribe. I haven't been able to make my line counts any more like I used to. I work much longer and much harder and wish MedRite was back. The other night, I had to a split job-- the lovely doctor batched three preop H & Ps. I got the first two OK, then the last one never came to me. I had to call the office, girl there said I "needed to call the techs"-- which I did. I was on "ignore" for 35 minutes (I timed it) before a real person answered the phone-- only to be told that he couldn't do anything and I had to call the office. Another call to the office-- the girl said she got a "system error" and still couldn't give it back to me. Now if that would have been MedRite, I could have just gone back to the job myself and retrieved it and had it finished and over with. But I guess that's PROGRESS.
Good luck
I have been in many hurricaines, living on the east coast, but nothing like Katrina. Good luck to you.
I just sent it. Good luck!
Good luck!
I wish you luck because having a baby and getting to stay at home with it is very rewarding.
In my opinion, having the experience of working at a hospital is definitely in your best interest. If I were you, you could go to the local job seeker's board here or go to MTjobs.com and apply.
You will do fine!
Best of luck to you and the baby!

Sorry about your luck. He was banned!!!

Best of luck to you, my friend!
Can't go wrong if you're educated.
Luck isn't all that will be needed if going
What do you think, management posting again because they are so desperate for help???
I agree with everyone else. TAKE IT and best of luck to you (nm)

Good luck!
We have a lot of drama in my family also, so I totally feel for you there. Ironically, the holidays seemed to be the only time everyone was nice to each other when we were younger. Now, we all live so far apart we are lucky to get together once a year. We are all so different!
Good luck with 10 cpl...sm
In the last three years going through the hiring process twice I have never seen more than 8 cpl with five years experience. I wish 10 cpl, but you just don't see it. If you are acute care you may get more, but I do clinic work.
Good luck. sm
Wal Mart knows what it is doing. They are very generous with donations to local communities and the local governments eat it right up.
As I posted above, our local Wal Mart, which was obviously thriving, just had to move across town to open one of those obscene Super Wal Marts and built it directly behind Kmart and a large supermarket. Kmart and the supermarket are hanging in there, but I don't really see it lasting much longer.
I used to go to the old Wal Mart for office supplies, but I'll pay the extra buck or two now.
Just the way the store layout goes ought to tell you something. If you want to go in and grab some food and you need dog food, cat food or shampoo too, you need to walk all the way to the other end of the enormous place, passing all the "bargains" in between.
Like I said, they know what they're doing. The sad part is that the majority of the general public actually want a Wal Mart.
Good thing is that when our Super Wally World first opened there were major traffic jams and no parking spaces, but even during the holidays the hub bub had died down considerably and you could get in and out of there in a jiffy.
Okay, I admit I went there at Christmas. It was the only place in the state that had any Q20's left.
Well, just an update - no luck still
I tried numerous adware/spyware programs until I found one that actually detected DealHelper in my computer. I pulled out the old credit card and bought the dang thing and one would assume it would have deleted it during the scan but nope still there. It is listed under my programs in add/delete programs taking up 2292 MB of space and every time I try to uninstall it it says "Installation Log File Not Found" and the title of the window says "Ghost Uninstaller". I am admittedly ignorant about these things but I currently have 3 or 4 programs on my computer for spyware/adware cleaning now and nothing is removing it. Just a word of warning to others I suppose that this is a nasty adware program - it self replicates obviously and I have no idea where i got it Thanks for all the advice though...30.00 poorer and probably 10 hours of my life I'll never get back working on this crap. Yikes!
Thanks! Good luck with yours too!
See a pain management specialist if you can. They are right up there with God in my book! Again, good luck Laurie. I have to take my meds and get to bed. Tomorrow is another day.... Nice chatting with you. How is the work in Seattle?
