I heard Frank traded vacation in for 10,000 chapsticks.
I'm waiting to hear from you regarding this.

frank says aloha and wishes you were here but unfortunately funds for Hawaii vacation dried up.
Frank is now working on a vacation for lucky MT to home office in beautiful downtown New Jersey.
has anyone heard from frank regarding the hawaii giveaway from mq? is he still in hawaii?
i got the mail regarding MT lawsuit and other stuff from mq but no postcard or notification from frank who won the hawaii contest. think he's mad because of MTs suing him?
Oh golly, take the kids on a vacation later. They need this vacation alone Sm
and there is not one thing on earth wrong about their taking it.
OKAY! I need a vacation. Frank and fans of Frank/MQ who won the Hawaiian vacation?
Does anyone know?
Hawaii
Well, next time I see a St. Jude's ad with those sobbing parents and bald headed kids, I'll think of you and 2 MTs going to Hawaii on the money donate to your hospital.
I am going to Hawaii and I am NOT an...sm
AAMT official. I just "plan ahead" and got airfare/hotel pkg early at discounted rate...simple. I am self-employed MT. Can't wait to see Hawaii!!
do you mean you are in Hawaii and they
won't hire you? I thought Hawaii was part of the US??

Hawaii anyone?
Hey does anyone here want to move to Hawaii w me? We could type all morning, then we could go be beach bunnies n then come back home and type some more---what do you think?
Hawaii
Not much advice other than to do your research first, obviously. Hawaii can be much more expensive to live depending on where you move. We lived in Honolulu and it is WAY overpriced, and it is near impossible to find apartments. That is the reason we moved away. We had our son and couldn't find a place to live and most of the places in our price range ($1000 a month) were just dumps. Every place had 20 or more people also applying for it. After 6 months of searching for a place to live, we decided to move back to the mainland.
Now we are moving back, but we are moving to the Big Island. Prices are cheaper and it is more laid back. We want away from the city. Since I have a family, we are getting our own place. We are going to start with a 1-bedroom apartment temporarily until we find out what area we want to live and then we will find a house. But if I were single again and moving, I would find someone that needs a roommate. This is what I did before. I moved with my sister, and then we she moved away, I moved in with some friends. We were able to get a nice house with all 3 of us sharing the rent. I also would not sign a full years' lease unless you are absolutely sure you want to stay. Many go over only to realize Hawaii is not paradise. Some love it, some hate it. It is a different culture and a different mindset there. But I love it and can't wait to return. Feel free to email me with any questions. : )
Hawaii trip
Do you know how we can find out? I mean, today is July 11th, so its 10 days from when the winner was supposedly chosen! I have to put in my vacation time doncha know! LOL
MQ Hawaii trip
According to the MQ home page, it states that someone named Lori Gryttenholm is the winnder of the trip. It didn't say which office she is from.

warm hawaii
it will be my first time living in hawaii-any advice? are you getting your own place out there? I'm in the freeeezing cold smack in the middle of the country right now so I am also looking forward to escaping!
yes, that is true, but Hawaii is much different.
moving to a place where they are suddenly the minority. I have lived all over the United States, having moved to a new state just about every year since I was 19, but moving to Hawaii was definitely a culture shock to me at first. Luckily, because I have moved so much, I adapted quickly, but others do not do so well. That is why if you visit any forum regarding Hawaii, you will find many haoles (non-Hawaiian, usually refering to "white" people) complaining about the locals being racist. Many can't leave the mainland mentality behind on the mainland and those are the ones who end up hating Hawaii.
Hawaii trip for 2 winner?
Does anyone know if they have announced the winner for Hawaii trip offered by MedQuist? When I filled out my entry form it said the winner would be announced on July 1, 2005. I am so curious! :)

Medquist Hawaii Prize
Anybody heard who won the trip to Hawaii? Or did Frank and Greg go with their secretaries?
AAMT conf in Hawaii
Must be nice, but I sure don't know many MTs who could afford it. Also, as an IC, if I take time off I simply don't get paid!
Interestingly, Kim Buchanan (the current president of AAMT) was formerly employed by Healthscribe. In fact, due to her AAMT status, she was a feather in their cap (so to speak). No conflict of interest there...
He often leads parades in Hawaii...
where he chants "No ice in paradise!" - referring to crystal meth - big problem there.
Moving to Hawaii in June!
I will be working from 4 am til about 10 or 11 and then going to have the rest of the day to enjoy the sun and surf! Lived there before and loved it and can't wait to get back.
Tropical paradises. Hawaii cannot be beat.

frank went to hawaii to evaluate and study the accomodations.
Frank didn't think this Hawaii vacation would serve the purpose he had in mind so the CEOs are putting their heads together and doing a study and are sure that the new Hawaii vacation they come up with will please all involved but in the meantime please continue transcribing as they value all of our efforts and will get back to us on the Hawaii vacation in a year or so once the CEO and managers form committees to study the vacation and fair way of chosing a winnner while studying the effects of a vacation on work habits of the lowly MT.
frank is in hawaii and won't be back until he feels like it. or he is fired,
Ask Frank is still on MQ website. Greg is back. Can Greg help?
Ask Greg or Frank or whoever is the current CEO. They can check e-mails from Hawaii.
 Aloha.
Hawaii, the place where Dr. Green died on ER. It looked like heaven there. nm

Is it possible that everyone was on vacation
due to the holiday? Also, you do need to be pretty aggressive if you really want the job. Call them, don't just email. Show them that not only are you experience, but you're also interested in working for them.
Vacation
Find where you want to go and look for an Embassy Suites. They seem like a little more cash, but it includes a happy hours at night with free drinks and snacks and an excellent free breakfast in the morning. They have a pool and 2 rooms with a fridge and sink. This is great if you have kids and actually pretty economical. We have stayed in several different ones around the country and my husband won't stay anywhere else.
PT VACATION
Try Transolutions! They pay vacation time to part time, I believe, over 20 hours -- have to check my employee manual. They also give yearly bonuses on anniversaries and have numerous incentives for overtime. Very professional company. I switched from MQ, best decision I made in 20+ years of MT'ing!
What's a vacation????
It's been so long since I have had one, I can't remember what one is. I am too busy working and trying to survive.
Vacation
We just got back from California and Las Vegas. Didn't care much for Disneyland, but the Disneyland California Adventure and Universal Studios Park were great! My son is 13 and my girls are 10, and they all loved the trip!
What's a vacation?
I would just like some time off to get caught up on everything around the house. I am so overwhelmed by it all right now. The clutter is piling up again. The garden has been ripening before my eyes, so everything needs to be picked and put up for winter. Instead, I've been giving it away because I don't have time to deal with it. We're building an addition to give me my own private office, so I spend my weekends at the hardware store, holding boards, and cooking for our construction helpers.
As for money, I stash money from selling stuff on ebay and from a little side job in my checking account to have a cushion in there. I need to get more stuff listed on ebay because I just bought a new computer, which has been sitting behind me still in boxes for nearly two weeks now. What's that saying? The hurrier I go, the behinder I get.
At least I have a messy house to gripe about, right?
Vacation
 I started doing this three years ago when I got divorced and at first it was only change in a jar, then I would add $5 out of every paycheck from my accounts, then it was $10 a paycheck (have 4 accounts). This was hard as I was going through a very expensive nmasty divorce but I did it. So I wouldn't spend it when I deposited my checks I would buy a roll of quarters or dimes and put it in my change jar. This year I was actually able to start putting aside more and I took my 17 year old nephew with me to San Francisco for 5 nights, 6 days, all paid with my little slow savings. My accounts are good to me and let me know ahead when they will be on vacation and so I was able to plan it when three out of six docs were gone so I would have missed out on that money anyway. The other three held the dictation until I came back and gave me a week to get caught up. But you can do it, just gotta plan. I did work many extra hours before and after though but it was worth it and the vacation was paid in full, no credit card bills coming in.
You need a vacation ALONE.
I've taken those occassionally. You fend for yourselves, I'm outta here for a week. Go visit family or friends that live away. Totally enjoy yourself. Maybe if you blow up before they leave and tell them why you're going, you won't come back to an even bigger mess. Best of luck.
If you visit family or friends you can always take your computer with you and have a working vacation. Thank God for a job that travels with me!
On vacation
Hi, I'm a beginner home based MT. I'm gonna be out of town for 2 weeks and was just wondering if anybody would know if I have to notify anybody about my absence? Thx for the reply.
Vacation, what's that?
Vacation? What's that?

What's a vacation?
Any Vacation?
Do the kids get any type of vacation? Around here I think they get too much time off in between and then two months of summer vacation on top of that.
Vacation Pay
I am thinking about quitting my job with a national but wondered about sick/personal/vacation time that I have earned. Does anyone know if any or all of this will be paid with my last paycheck, as I have almost 150 hours coming. Is this different from one company to the next, or are there federal or state laws that govern this?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
I used a lap top on vacation -
I went to the local library and got horrible reception and was so slow I could not work. I ended up having internet installed at my father-in-law's home for the 2 weeks I was there.
There never was a Hawaiian vacation!!
Frank just told us he was giving away Hawaiian vacation to pacify us for the chapstick/keyring we got for MT week.
Can I come live with you? We need a vacation! LOL
We like to ski, swim and golf.
Or did somebody or on vacation, or did somebody get sick, or

On vacation last year (sm)
two of the places I had reserved didn't have internet access as advertised. "Oh, our server is down and I think someone has called it in." The next time I went I purchased a wireless card and subscribed to Verizon broadband and had internet access when I needed it.
Is the Administrator on Vacation??
It used to be that any post mentioning MQ was deleted, because all MQ related issues are to be discussed on the MQ board, thus, a seperate MQ board.
In addition, one of the moderators says it's ok to post and post and post about pets, when there is a Pet board under the 'General' boards tab.
Vacation coverage
I have five accounts and two I have IC's who work for them -- psych accounts no problem when I leave town. But my other three, have asked that I have NO ONE work on the account but me and they hold the tapes and I do them when I come back as fast as I can and sometimes wishing I had not taken time off. No they work with me but then I don't take off much time and when I do it is usually a couple of days and the weekend so we are all not stressed. If I were to have surgery or something I have friends that would help out and the accounts realize that it would be necessary. That is one of the drawbacks of having your own accounts. No work --no money. But it does make you appreciate your time off.
re: Really needing a vacation
I'm in WV too. We generally went to either Cape Hatteras, NC or Myrtle Beach for vacations, but Myrtle has gotten so commercialized it's pretty expensive. Hatteras is really nice, quiet, super clean and really not that expensive.
Vacation and benefits - really!
Is there really a company out there that provides long-term benefits such as insurance AND VACATION and that will be around when we get ready to use it Just wondering if anyone out there really has any benefits doing at home MT work.
