You are confusing your terms.

Software is the computer interface that allows you to perform a certain task, in this case, FTP software allows your computer to connect to an FTP site. If you're looking for an FTP site that is secure, you will more than likely have to pay for it. You can try www.ftptogo.com, although it is not free, it is a good site.

My interpretation was as I stated, just don't understand the fake resume etc.  It seems though it was initiated by a US MT, but who knows there is always two sides.  I just feel at this time with electronic records and our trarnscription there is nothing to protect MTs no matter where we work.  A fair day's work deserves a fair day's pay for whomever.

think they would be the very best themselves. I was so disappointed and upset by that experience that I felt apprehensive about the entire MT field after the mess was over. However, I did get a job and have been working for almost 4 years now in the field. I work for a small company. The owner tells me constantly how much she appreciates me and feels lucky to have me.  --and I tell her the same thing!  -and boy do I mean it.  :)  

I was not going to post anything about Toth, but the more I thought about it.... well, I also would not wany anyone to go through what I did.

I was under the impression that there was no limit on income when your retire on SS.  But, there is a limit if you are on SS disability.  And I believe that amount is around $900.  However, if you are on disability, they also count how many hours you work.   If you are making $900 or less, but working more than part-time hours (something like more than 16-20 hours), that could still disqualify you for disability.  So, I'm confused on this too.   But back to the SS retirement discussion, I thought back in the Clinton Administration, they passed legislation that made it more profitable for retirees to work once they started receiving their SS retirement.  I was glad to hear this as many retirees want to work and they shouldn't be penalized.  After all, the income taxe and SS taxe and Medicare tax goes into the big government kitty, so working retirees benefit everyone.  I'm a believer in keeping retirees busy and bringing in income if they so wish. Well, Doxie, I am on your side.  You asked a simple question and why some are beating up on you is puzzling to me.  You asked a legitimate question. But if you really need to keep it at $900 or less, just divide your line rate into $900, take that answer and divide by four, and that will be the amount of lines you want to stay under per week.  -

...that seems to have changed. I always put "metacarpophalangeal" before, but almost every doc I transcribe for these days says, very clearly "metacarpal phalangeal." I put the hyphen in because the words should be connected and that is the only way I can do it without changing what the doctor says.

Your book may list "carpophalangeal" as a word, but I am a former x-ray tech and I can tell you that none of the carpal bones attach directly to the phalanges. There is a metacarpal between the carpal bones and the phalanges. If you will look at a hand x-ray, there is a good 2-3" or more (filled by the metacarpal) between the carpal bones and the proximal phalanx of each digit.

That's why you can't depend solely on "word books." If they don't have a definition, you cannot be sure they are correct.

I barely make $5 for 8 hours.. you think that's fair. .. cause I sure *&%# don't.

I am testing for a company and I need a good website with Opthamology terminology?

Thanks

FTP is (very) basically a secure connection to the client's mainframe.  It is like your computer picking up a phone and dialing the employer's system.  Once you are connected the only thing you have to do it keep the window open and the connection should stay active.

FTP is faster than a connection through the internet because it makes your computer a part of the actual system, instead of just a satellite.  Think of it like a meeting: the internet is a group of people just standing around talking, anyone can just pass by and listen in and hear all or part of the conversation.  FTP is like a closed and sound-proof conference room where only those in the room can hear.  Yes, there are ways to breach the room, but they are much more difficult and, for most, too much of a pain to bother with. 

The client should give you information how to use their FTP, but to understand, learn DOS commands (remember that from the 80's?).  FTP is easy to learn but confusing if you don't understand DOS.  Beyond that I can't really help you without a set of instructions and a netmeeting :)

I really dislike the company.  Years and years ago I worked for a small local MTSO.  I wanted to work at home and she wouldn't let me so I quit.  I did tell her I would work PT at home only if she needed help and I knew she needed the help, but she was ticked at me and wouldn't give me any work.  About 2 months later she called me practically begging me to work for her, and I did.

I have applied to a company and been offered a position but turned it down and then have gone back later and applied again, but I haven't actually worked for a company and then asked to go back.

It is frequently recommended here to not quit one job before you have time to test the waters on the other, just in case. 

I would reapply or call them.  The worst they can do is say no. 

Lots of psych terms and phrases on this one.

Some of you might remember that I'm working for my BIL doing chemical dependency training videos (transcribing them).

Well, I came across a term that I'm unfamiliar with.  I did a websearch and found this website.  Thought others might find it helpful so decided to post it.

Happy MT week!
