I don't know how to off-line instant messenger....guess I'm
tooo stupid. WOW, thanks for clearing that up! Have a great day!!!!
I liked Vianeta, too. In our application we could work offline, I do believe.
Some days, I wish we had Vianeta back again....
There were some downsides, especially if you had to get in on the management/QA side, but as an MT it was dandy.
Now I cant see the different broads again. Everytime I clean out my cookies and offline files I cant
get in the different boards. Any suggestions. They are gone again.
Right here, and don't attack the messenger when you don't like it.
America and the Poor...
Wednesday, September 14, 2005
By Bill O'Reilly
America and the poor, that is the subject of this evening's “Talking Points Memo.”
The aftermath of Katrina has produced a debate over poor Americans. There are about 37 million people living below the poverty line right now. The issue was described this way by Newsweek (search) reporter Evan Thomas (search), a liberal guy but not alone, who writes, "Liberals will say [the authorities] were indifferent to the plight of poor African-Americans. It is true that Katrina laid bare society's massive neglect of its least fortunate."
Massive neglect? Let's take a look at that bit of overstatement. Halfway through President Clinton's tenure in office in 1996, the poverty rate was 13.7 percent. Halfway through President Bush's tenure, the rate is 12.7 percent, a full point lower.
In 1996, the Clinton budget allotted $191 billion for poverty entitlements. That was 12.2 percent of the budget and a whopping amount of money. That's why Bill Clinton (search) was called the first black president by some.
However, the Bush 2006 budget allots a record shattering $368 billion for poverty entitlements, 14.6 percent of the entire budget, a huge increase over Clinton's spending on poverty entitlements.
Did the elite media mention that? Jesse Jackson (search) mention that? Of course they didn't, because it's much more convenient for Evan Thomas and others to imply America under President Bush has turned its back on the poor, but it's absolute nonsense.
Even in the midst of the war on terror, this country's spending a massive amount of money trying to help the poor. So why the lie? Because political gain can be made off the suffering of others, that's why.
Those who oppose the Bush administration don't care about the truth. They only want to advance their own agenda. So once again, the no- spin zone rides to the rescue.
Hard-working Americans are providing the poor with Medicaid, food stamps, supplemental security income, that's free money, child nutrition programs, welfare payments, child daycare payments, temporary assistance to needy families, foster care, adoption assistance, and health insurance for children.
But it will never be enough for the Jesse Jacksons and Howard Deans of the world, never. They told you the truth. They'd go out of business.
Now I fully expect to be attacked by the far left media for telling you all this. I'm sure they will label me a racist, a shill for Bush, stuff like that, but I don't care. The dollars don't lie. We are a generous nation. And that is the truth. And that is “The Memo.”
Is that the messenger you're shooting?
Anyone besides me having trouble with yahoo messenger? nm
Shooting the messenger ISN'T the answer... SM
Maybe you (and/or the Moderator) didn't approve of the *tone* of some of the responses to Appalled, but it's too bad the thread was locked before the REAL issue could be addressed.
Appalled said that she'd been out of the MT workforce for 3 years and she was very upset to find out her new employer was expecting her to bounce back and forth between multiple accounts, making her not as productive as she once was -- like the MTSO was doing it on purpose just to make Appalled's life miserable.
Well, guess what: That's what it's come to in the last 3 years. It's not just Appalled's MTSO - it's pretty much Standard Operating Procedure these days for all or most MTSOs to be scrambling to keep their accounts in turnaround and keep their clients happy. This has turned into a VERY competitive business in the 3 years that Appalled was out of the loop. Someone should've made sure Appalled had a clear understanding of that... but the thread was locked because the focus was perceived to be on negative name-calling and whining.
And guess what else: If this business is competitive among the MTSOs, it's EQUALLY if not MORE competitive among the MTs. If Appalled can't, or won't, adapt her work habits to what's expected in the Here and Now, Appalled will be replaced by an MT who WILL do the work exactly as assigned.
And if there are no MTs willing or qualified (or hungry enough) to be adaptable in meeting the employer's needs, and if not cheerful about it at least willing to take on the challenge of multiple accounts, there are MTs on the other side of the world who WILL do it, and for much LESS per line.
THAT'S the REAL issue: MT as a reasonably profitable career choice has changed radically in the last 3 years.
Did it occur to you (or to the Moderator) that many of us have been working in the conditions that so appalled Appalled, and we don't like it, either, but we suck it up and DO what's asked of us -- and we're lashing out with negative comments, not so much against Appalled on a personal level but with the MT situation in general?
I've had no problems with mail/messenger-nm
Both have been working fine.
not sure about cell phone, but you can sign up for free efax messenger. sm
you can get a free efax messenger as long as you don't care what number they assign you. then you can have them fax to that number and it will come into your email inbox and you can print from there.
If you can show proof you did this work for them, they then have to show they paid it in order

love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Simple as this!
 Then you absolutely must stay where USA has jurisdiction and that is absolutely not in a foreign country. Those are the rules and laws and everyone knows that up front. The troops, the FBI, the CIA, the US police do not help you when you get drunk and/or lost in a foreign country. But you know that don't you?
It is really quite simple. sm
If you are a good MT, which most of us are, and all of a sudden you start getting a bunch of crap. I was very happy to be with a company that afforded you the luxury of being an MT, but yet a "hospital employee". This was a very innovative thing and I jumped on the band wagon. All the money is in ops, surgeons, they are predictable, macro-friendly, organized, don't flip through the charts and make me the most money. After being with this company for over 3 months, at my skill level, and only to get cued 10 ops, most of which were rejected and cherry picked, that is a HUGE sign. I did not tell "them" that is why I quit, they need to figure it out for themselves. I personally liked the team leader, but she is obviously pooling work out to her favorites, and not giving new MTs a chance - hence they will still "be with the original team", not realizing that people unfortunately get sick, die, move on, and the "original team" will not last forever. I am so glad to be out of there. Don't know if new company is going to be any better, have to wait and see.
I think both, but not as simple as that.
We do all make choices, but in some instances there are very few choices. Yes, we should first avail ourselves of education. Basic education is available to everyone in this country. After high school, education becomes harder to obtain, but it is available to everyone. You do have to have either transportation or a computer, and you have to have time to participate, but if you want it bad enough you can find a way. All that being said, if the company you work for suddenly closes, and there are few jobs available where you live, you can find yourself in a bad situation that you did not create. I think government assistance is important for people that find themselves in a temporary bad situation, but should not be allowed to be a way of life, except in the case of disability.
Very simple....
You tell them you're going digital, and they can either join you in the 21st century or be left behind.
well that seems simple enough! thanks
xx
Might try Simple FTP....sm
They have an option where you can log on as a guest and try out.
So simple, when you know what to do!
Thanks, that worked by just turning off and back on. I am so techology challenged!
simple
It is not your chair, keyboard, et cetera causing you to be so uncomfortable...getting up at least every 2 hours and walking the floors for 5 minutes works wonders in rejuvenating the body back to comfort level. It works for me and I didn't have to spend any more on equipment, hmmmm, not sure about the carpet yet though...LOL
Hi - I wish it were that simple. sm
I'm not able to use Express Scribe due to company policy against outside players. The player is the one that is built in to InScribe. The sound quality is excellent, but there's no way to access the player that I can see, except as mentioned above, and those options have been turned off.
Thanks for your input. :)
Also may be something as simple as
if an injection is needed into the arm, for influenza, tetanus, whatever, that could cause soreness, they might look to see which is dominant and inject into the opposite.
Seems simple. Look for co. that will allow U to

Simple as that then.
If you can't make enough money to even survive as a speech rec editor, then you should choose option C. That is the point.
But, the big nationals, or should I say big globals, are not the only game in town, and if you choose option A and learn how to edit efficiently and improve your production then good for you. Editing and straight transcription require different skill sets some folks just simply cannot make the transition.
Simple explanation
The industry is in tremendous flux, and with so many unstable companies job hopping by transcriptionists is normal. Nobody is nearly organized enough to keep a blacklist. More simple explanation is that every ad generates 1000s of resumes. I once got a reply two months after the fact. Not rude, nor anything to be paranoid about, though certainly not a pleasant experience.
Simple answer:
Coast---------------------------------->
Find someone you can just "unload on" - a sounding board - we can do it if you want.
Hunker down.
Your first goal should be to GET HIM OUT. You don't move. You GET HIM OUT. You may be able to get legal advice on how to do that from counselors at any abused wife shelters or community police officer. (of course do that on the sly)
Find out where you stand legally on getting him out with the least amount of hassle and start getting legitimate CHILD SUPPORT from him. That means $$ to pay for day care. None of this 50/50 stuff. You are giving him an easy way out and you are still going to be in a bind. DON'T DO IT.
Forget about buying the house.
More AND cheaper ones are on the horizon, trust me.
This way you will still have your "downpayment" that will be growing interest - and it will be tucked away and you will still have your IRA for emergencies.
One thing that bothers me - you said YOU WORK NIGHTS and HE WORKS DAYS. So he gets to sleep/while the kids are sleeping- at night, right? But you have to take care of the toddlers all day and try to grab naps, right? Do you get this uneven picture here?
That's what "working from home" turns out to be - you get to work all night and odd times during the day, but never get to sleep. Between doing housework, tending babies, dealing with angry men, there is no life. And MTing is stressful.
Forget the house.
Get him out.
Get childsupport started. You don't need him there to babysit - he's sleeping while he is "babysitting"! 
Save your money.
There, is that a plan? 
All things will fall into place after that. Who knows, maybe you can be director of medical records instead of MTing at the hospital with your schooling. 
Just a simple question
Don't get yourself all worked up here, or you might just find yourself hitting the bottle soon! LOL!
simple MD error
They forgot to turn off the microphone before they said the words, OR they forgot to use the proper commands to direct you up to the location they wanted.
Had they done either, the words never would have appeared in the first place.
simple answer to
They think that typing medical reports make them as smart as doctors.
Simple solution
Keep the door closed and the cat out! Cats CAN indeed be trained that certain areas are off limits, but nothing works better than a keeping the cat out of the room. Problem solved, yes?
The solution is simple
Report that MT to your boss. If the MT continues then report to your boss again along with your boss's boss. Keep climbing the chain of command until SOMEONE does something about this MT.
simple question but here goes...
why do some messages have those yellow markers in front of them, they seem to have a lot more views than the other messages..can't figure it out...and it's probably something simple..thx.
simple question
I'm relatively new to transcription, so this is probably a dumb question, but here goes...
How does a C-phone work? Is this live dictation?
you sound new and simple
nm
Simple -- do the math
Pull up one of your old documents and figure out your gross line count and then divide characters by 70. See how the totals compare. Do not know what your margins are in your gross line, if they are longer with margins at .5 and .5 versus then you could come out ahead but if they are at 1. and 1. then you will be close to even with an increase of 1.5. But again would be simple to figure out from one of your old documents. Just me 2 cents worth. Patti
I think the answer is simple
some people are just faster typists than others. I had 2 bosses that both typed circles around me and yet I average 130-140 wpm. I think you could have all kinds of macros, etc. and still if your speed is slower, well that says it all.
Very simple procedure
Download your voice files from the email to directory (folder) on your hard drive (usually should create special one just for this) you know you will always use for docking these recordings. Then open ES and click on the Load square at top of program. This will open the directories on your computer. Go find the one where you just downloaded the email recordings to, click on the one you want to bring into ES (one by one or batch). Then click the "load" key at the bottom of that screen and you should see them coming into the ES window. Takes a while for them to install if they're long. It's only complicated the first time!
Keep it simple - make it fun
I wouldn't get too much into the nitty gritty, but just give them an idea of what it is about. Most people don't know that transcription means listening to doctors and typing. Something simple as that can go a long way.
Well, all decisions should be so simple! SM
The very best of wishes to you. It can work great--The key to making it work great is organization and self discipline. I presume like almost all of us you'll be paid on a production basis instead of the salary you were used to?
You may find it works best to split your workday into blocks, with the assistance of your husband, of course. An hour before the babies wake (if there IS one!), 3 hours while a babysitter watches them, 2 hours at night. That sort of thing.
Interruptions absolutely kill production and turn workdays from 6 hours of intensive work into those 12-hour marathons people complain about.
Let us know how it's going for you.
It is very simple to understand...
She most likely has never heard this dictated before. She is probably unsure if she is hearing it correctly. She is questioning it, which is her right.
Probably a simple mistake...sm
You know this is not supposed to be perfect. We are posting on here on free time when we let our guard down. Sometimes we don't go back and proofread our posts. When we are working we proofread and make sure things are right. I assume you never make mistakes?
You can't-- simple answer-- I use my - sm
autotext for that.
This may sound like a simple
question, but can you run both Microsoft Word and WordPerfect on the same computer??? My kids have my old one and I have recently bought a lap tap and MS Word to install on it. Since they have to use my new computer for school work as the computers/teacher's programs all have MS Word, can I install the Word and keep the WP, or do I need to unstall WP first???
Simple enough question
I know exactly what happened on the boards last week with a company going to VR and the hysteria that followed. I saw you there several times and know your feelings about VR. My question was valid and think it deserves an answer.
And a simple Google said nothing
about the lung. End of comments.
a beautiful man! plain and simple.
and a great actor.
Simple, I'm fed up with all the crap and I'm not going to allow it to start up again.
Here's the deal...if you're unhappy at MQ because you're not getting what you want, find another job and quit. If you think MQ is oh so wonderful, fabulous, but keep in mind that other people don't agree with you and can post their opinions. If your main beef is to just come here and whine about it, get lost because it's tiresome. Administrator
Simple - Relocate where he will NOT find you!
Good luck!
I don't return....plain and simple....and if someone ask about their
When you do not return...that's where it hurts the business. They NEED our business in order to stay afloat!!
Simple keyboard question
I've been using a new keyboard and there are no guiding bumps on the keys to tell you that your fingers are placed in the proper row and on the right letters (F and J).
Anybody have creative ideas of what I can do/add to the keyboard to remedy this?
then why don't YOU go out and get your own accounts and charge 45 -- if it's that simple...
x
I just asked a simple questions...thanks SO much for your help
