Thank you SOooo much MQA !...
Just what I needed! You don't know how much you have helped! I have printed your response. I was trying to make it too hard by overthinking like I always do. My physical therapist keeps hinting that one of their (at home) transcriptionists left, HINT HINT, and I have been afraid to talk to the office manager because of all of the logistics stuff.
One more question: About the 3$ a page...could you explain a little more about that. What about half pages and the like? Have you figured out what kind of cpl that equals? However, the 3$ a page sounds like a much easier way to calculate the bill.
Thanks again!
That is SOOOO right-on!
you are soooo right.

Thank you soooo much. I thought it was just me.
That Indian MT who lives in the US story and cherry picks while not wanting to do Indian bad dictators just was too much! And the insider who told the MT this was happening. Wow! For two months!!! How long should it take for the Indian MT to cherry pick before she does the Indian dictators? Blah, blah, blah. How and why do people do this to themselves?
It is the nature of the business just like sales. You win some, you lose some. There is feast and there is famine. Do the work while it is there because tomorrow it may be dry. Don't like the work, get another job.
What hospitals?? I'm soooo there
Too cool! Thank you soooo much sm
MTStars and Executive Communications!
:) Happy MT week! You've made this a really special week for all of us.

omg yes!! Rob Thomas is soooo HOT! nm

I'm sorry, but I would have soooo just walked out of there.
That HAD to be awkward.
I soooo can relate to you!.....sm
Please don't feel so bad, menopause affects your mood, temperament, just so many things about your body that you are used to! I had a radical hysterrectomy back in 2000, so I had to go through menopause "instantly." I could not take the patch and hated HRT, so I have been using naturopathic supplements to help....but depression, mood swings, cravings, the HORRIFIC night sweats and hot flashes, lowered libido....I got it all, and it really is a transition. Could you perhaps speak with a compassionate female therapist, not necessarily a psychiatrist, but someone who understands what you are going through and can hash out all of the issues that are bothering you? Just know that I care, you have friends here, and please feel free to e-mail me anytime, okay?
soooo true
I was hired as a QA manager and the company I work for have been trying to demote me every chance they get, promoting the less qualified, etc etc. It is clear that a good MT is more valuable to a company as just that, an MT. Sooo try not to be as good and you might move up in the ranks. LOL;
Thank you guys soooo much!
I knew this was the place to come to get help! 
Soooo true!
Well spoken. No one seems to care that these foreign parasites are compromising the integrity of their own patient records with their slovenly dictation styles!!!!!!!!!!!
Laughing - you are soooo right
QA is overrated and yes they do need to get themselves.... QA are MTs that think they know more than a regular MT... in a nutshell.... 
some people are soooo lucky!
Oh yeah, I am soooo scared!
What are you gonna do, ride your horse over here and get me???????
Your BOS post is soooo true! sm
There are so many newer MT's who don't know the facts where BOS is concerned. I use my BOS everyday.... it elevates my monitor to just the right height. 
Soooo weird. Hmmmm
 This post refers to the posts below from the ICs from TRX (I am one) - I find it interesting that a person would come on here and call someone out of there name (the owner) and then walk away without explaining how he/she came to their conclusion. Seems a person would want to make their case or maybe just persons like myself and the other IC who stood up to ask why. I'm so confused. I guess we're all just different that way.  Some people are yellow and some aren't. That's right, I said it.
Ok..I will soooo not watch SVU anymore if they
split up Olivia and Elliot!! OMG what a show tonight! 
This is not creamy, but is SOOOO good...
1 cup oil
1 cup vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp salt
1/2 Tbsp garlic powder
3 Tbsp parsley flakes (may use less)
1/2 Tbsp black pepper
4 tsp dried mustard
16 oz cooked rotini
1 medium cucumber
1 medium green pepper
Mix all ingredients well, refrigerate before serving.
Note: I leave out the cucumber and pepper when refrigerating, and cut these and add just before serving.
MS Word SOOOO Slow
Has anyone ever experienced a very slow MS Word program all of a sudden? It is very slow to get into and exit from MS Word 2002. Once in the program it is fine and all other programs on computer seem to work fine. Wondering if I may have too many autocorrect and autotext entries?? Any help would be appreciated. have tried everything can think of, even added much memory. Thanks.
Wow to Technical Support! Thanks soooo much! ....
for your extensive answer!
I'll start with cleaning up my mouse and working up from there if this does not work.
I'll let you know.
There are still very kind, knowledgable, helpful and generous people in this world, THANKS !
I was soooo lucky... my son was potty trained at 2..
He had his 2nd birthday party on Saturday, and on Monday he started potty training. Never bought another diaper. Two weeks later, he was in underwear during the day. But, I took him regularly and monitored his juice intake. Thirty minutes after dinner was the last full drink. He would go potty right before bedtime at 8pm and maybe get a little juice if he asked for it. Since I worked nights, I would wake him up (or just take him sleep) to the bathroom at around 12am or 12:30am. He would wake up dry most mornings, but he wore Pull-Ups until he was about 2-1/2. He is 7 now and has an accident every blue moon, mainly because he falls asleep in bed without going to the bathroom right before getting in bed. Proud of him. Yours will get there too.
I agree, and I work for MQ! Sooo boring, soooo old, and
you would think they'd realize how idiotic they look - whining and whining and predicting doom and gloom! Honestly, MQ and Philips is BOOMING in the business world right now. Huge advances the last few months - HUGE sales of products, advances, awards in the industry. I get email alerts daily on the HUGE growth of MQ - and these old sea-hags just sit on here and cackle about DOOM. Boy, do they need a reality check, or what? All is fine in MQ world, and always, always will be! As long as you're willing to work and have a brain, MQ is a great place to work! Oh, yeah, and I'm mgmt - making 6 figures and even remotely interested in sea-hag opinions! That is just soooooooooooooo lame, too! Or maybe I'm the same poster from below who always uses CAPS! That is sooooooooooo funny. Cracked up at that analysis - some of these women have way toooooooo much time on their hands rather than hitting the keyboard! Analysing posts to compare typing styles. Give me a break! What a hoot!
Soooo...what are you saying? That people should post something that is worthy of the board in SM
your estimation? Would you like to have the monitors delete this post about KL and Regis? What is it that you want? Or would YOU like to think of a transcription topic and post it? What's the deal?
I love Directv. The picture is soooo much clearer than cable. sm
Prices in our area are comparable between cable and DirecTV. If you look at their website, you can pull up comparison charts showing exactly which channels are on each service package. You can sort them by number or alphabetically and print them out if necessary.
Problems as in communication?? If so, I'm soooo there. Sick of unanswered emails. No one cares
Glad I could help and glad you got your setup going. nm

glad to help, glad it worked!

be glad to.
let me finish my job (another 30 min or so) and i will find the verse.
Glad I could help ! .nm

Thank you - I'm glad to see that there is sm
somebody here that's intelligent enough to tell the difference. I wasn't looking for advice. I just wanted to know if anyone else experienced anything similar.
I guess I should have known better than to post anything here.
Glad I'm not alone. sm
I always just try to consider the source. The sad part is that the people, whomever they may be, who makes these hateful posts on ALL boards are either 1) Trolls or 2) Very unhappy people.
I am so glad I did not take the job with them..s
I am glad I did NOT take the job with that office...sorry pay to boot...7 cpl.
I'm so glad! Also, ...sm
I hate that you cried yourself to sleep all night. It's too much pain for anyone to bear, and I've been crying too. Your post reassured me that I'm not being overdramatic about feeling so compassion for our furry friends. My husband is getting tired of hearing me talk about the those poor dogs down there. I also want to drive there and get some of them. If I don't hear from Best Friends soon about being a foster parent to dogs belonging to the evacuees, I may just do that. (Best Friends says they will transport the pet(s) to you, no matter where you live). Time was of the essence for some of those dogs I saw on the news, and that was yesterday a.m.
Hope someone can get word to the little boy that his pet is located and safe - don't know how though. All I can think about is the little boy worrying about his pet. If he knew his little buddy was OK, he might have some comfort and lessen the pain.
I glad I could be of help!
I know that the decision to homeschool is a mammouth one and can almost be mind boggling! Try to fine a homeschool support group. The public library often knows of them and can direct you or sometimes churches will have large support groups. Call around. I am from Indiana and our state's homeschool office is called Indiana's Association of Home Educators. I know they can give you all the info you need if your from the Hoosier state!
I am so glad this came up...
Please, can you tell me, I am 100% hooked on this program (the sound does not interfere a bit with the dictation for me); however, I did not know it was only a free trial. Supposedly, I only have 15 days left.
Help! Now I have sound pilot. Is home typist different, and if it is, is it free and how would I download that?
Did you have to pay for yours?
I am so grateful to you for posting this originally because it has really helped me...
For the poster previously, "sis," if you read this there are a bunch of other sounds you can download. I switched to the "smith-corona" sound and it is a little softer sound, like the old electric typewriters...
So glad someone had a
chance to read it before it's deleted. 
Glad to see there are more too
Being 33 and single without kids and no man or one in sight, just meeting guys who are afraid to commit..well thats my life. I feel kind of judged by people, esp friends who have gone on to marry, some have gotten divorced, but even the divorced ones look down upon me. Like i'm the bad one to not have gotten married and divorced yet. These guys just drain me, it seems like so much work to keep one around let alone faithful. I've got work and school though.
Glad U like it!
Same 2U!
That is what I do. Glad to see others doing the same. nm

Wow. I'm glad
I'm not that wasteful to just fill up our landfills with perfectly good food.
glad I could help....*S*....nm

I am glad I was of some help. :) nm
I'm glad you said this
The docs never stop dictating. Sometimes a hospital will allow another service to come in for a trial run. Sometimes they funnel all work to the 'trial run' company and sometimes they will funnel a portion. Wanna know why hospitals do this...
1. TAT is not always met...because MTs call in sick and ICs don't keep a consistent schedule and work sits for days waiting to be typed.
2. Hospital continuously gets lousy work...because MTs who have been released from QA upload lousy work because they are more focused on getting more lines instead of producing a quality product.
I know this because I have worked in hospital administration before. I am now an MT. Many MTs gripe and moan about getting fired or not having enough work. What you guys don't seem to realize is that a lot of this is due to MTs who have a poor work ethic.
Everytime you call in sick, you cause an avalanche of issues. Because you work from home, many of you don't understand the concept of 'teamwork'. You see things as they apply to you and not the big picture. MTSOs are under a lot of pressure to find good MTs who will provide a quality product to the client.
MTs are probably the most job hopping people there are. It is very difficult to keep a client happy and make sure TATs are met when you have 10 MTs off 'sick' each day. It's also very difficult to keep a client happy when they have 10 or more crappy reports uploaded each day.
A hospital can drop an MTSO and move on to another. Well guess what...the account that you were hired for is no longer. You also have companies who hire lots of ICs who work and work and work taking away work from the MT employees. I could go on and on but I'll stop here.
You are Welcome...glad I could help...nm
I am glad for you.
Instead of being jealous, I am inspired. So far I have only worked for a clinic as an employee (making very little money) or for companies, first as an employee and now as an subcontractor. The owner of the company I am with now is a wonderful person, but I am not making as much money as I need to make. I am looking into other ways to do it. I live in a rural area, so there are not as many opportunities as in more urban areas, but ever since I have been doing MT there has always been plenty of work to do. Most of it is being done by companies, but I am sure if I check around I can find some work that pays better. I personally know people who are doing well. I do not intend to totally give up what I have now and just sink or swim. I guess what I am saying is that most of us do make choices. Some of you may have circumstances that keep you from going it on your own. Even then, you do make choices. When I was working for a company, I enjoyed having paid time off. As an independent contractor, that is something you have to work around. If we just sit around and whine about what we make, we will never get out find something better.
I'm glad :-)
I'm glad it made you feel a little better . Good luck to you. I will be thinking and praying for you.
I, too, am glad to see him gone
He was a nice kid, I'm sure, but just wasn't mature enough, in my opinion, to be an American Idol. Give him a few years and he may grow on the public!
Now.....Let's hope Bucky goes next week!
Glad to know I'm not alone at 5' 2" :)
I was blessed with longer legs and a shorter torso though so chairs aren't a problem. My hubby is 5' 10" and he has a long torso and shorter legs and we both drive the car with the seat in the same position. (and yes I can see over the steering wheel). :)
Now top shelves. . . . .that's a whole different story. :) My boys are 6' 3" and almost 6 feet so, while I still have them around, I just yell to one of them when I need something up high.
I'm always rewarded with them teasingly resting their elbow on my head though.
Older daughter is 5' 6" and younger one is almost 5 feet already at 11. I'm destined to be the "little one."
I'm so glad she's gone!!
I absolutely hated her voice, it drove me crazy watching the show!! Her voice is great for church, but not for the real word and definitely not good enough to be an Americal Idol winner! I mean look at Fantasia, where the heck is she now?? I can see Chris getting pretty far in the business, but nobody really seems like they have the "it" factor like Kelly Clarkson did/does.
I'm glad
I'm glad somebody brought this up because I was thinking the same thing. It is a good thing to keep discussions focused but focusing them too narrowly can defeat the purpose of having a discussion. And then being scolded and having posts moved all over or deleted is really annoying. No offense, but it is. And before we are told to go elsewhere, would anybody be interested in a Yahoo discussion group for MTs where they can discuss things other than MT work? I know there is one group like that, which shall be nameless, that is dominated by a nasty clique. I would like to start a more friendly one if anybody is interested. Let me know!
