Uuummm, like Lynn????
:
Lynn - you are incorrect!!! It's a......sm
for example, my state never required a license if you worked at home on a computer with having no traffic to your home, until THEY CHANGED the law/rule.......
Best of luck to you Lynn. I have been
thinking of changing too but I have worked at home for so long I'm not sure I can do an outside job. I only have 5 more years until retirement. I hope I make.
I think Lynn is probably pitching a fit....sm
because this is a lot of bad advertisement for Jester's Touch, which if she didn't pay Doris she deserves. This can severely hurt her business, and that is probably why she wants this off of here. MTs aren't the only ones who visit this forum. MTSO's do too and you never know who knows who her clients are and could contact them and let them look at this board and use it to their advantage to take clients away. You never know how others can use something like this to their advantage. Not paying people can be a severe blow to a business. Just my opinion.
Lynn, I think what the poster jln was saying
was that the way you know if a company is affiliated with India/outsourcing is that the ad will have many misspellings, not that your post did. :)
I feel your pain, Lynn sm
I can't afford a day off either, much less a whole week! Whew, I'd freak out. I wouldn't have any fun, though, cause I'd be so worried about money! Oh well, our day will come...I hope! Keep your chin up and know that you're not alone, if that helps any! 
I must therefore deduce that Lynn from Jester

Lynn, that is not true. The contract that you sent me is the very
same that Ms. Latta sent to me. Ms. Latta has not falsified anything. I am being neutral in this situation simply trying to get it resolved and that is all.
Welcome back Lynn; of course! I remember you.
best wishes on your new, improved, undertaking of the field we love. You're gonna need a huge sense of humor, which you already possess. Have fun! and LaughLots!
Hey Lynn, Shoot me an e-mail. I'd love to know
what Webmedx offered you!!! If you wouldn't mind sharing. 
So-long lynn and best of luck to you in your new endeavors.

Lynn already has my contact information when she posted this
because she has been emailing me all along threatening me.
Lynn, Administrator's email is on Contact page.
as far as proof that you paid this person. You shouldn't need someone to tell you what they need - if you have proof that you made the payments, then just send them and get your name cleared. As Patti stated above, the Labor Board's denial means nothing more than it doesn't handle IC situations.
Also, do you have proof that the IC has badmouthed other MTSOs as you claimed? If this happened to me and I knew I had paid all monies due, I'd do anything and everything to get the word out and I wouldn't wait for an invitation to do so. A word of caution, too: It might be a wise idea to not even post here at all and refrain from engaging in the back-and-forth. Just submit any proof to the administrator straight away. You might cause further damage to your reputation by posting something unprofessional in the heat of the moment. I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt and wait for the details from all sides, but the longer you wait to present yours, the worse it looks. Just an outside observation.
Lynn has great information. I "went digital" a while back
with trying to use a digital system at my house that recorded the docs as they called in. But the phone lines were too expensive so I switched to FTP. I got a bit overwhelemd by the time I spent routing files (a bunch of different doctors and different subcontractors) and so I finally settled on a TASP, MetroScript.
So to answer your question, in my case with the TASP, my doc records all day with the digital recorder. At the end of the day he logs into my website (at MetroScript) and uploads the files. I can then log into the website and download the files whenever I want.
I travel quite a bit and I use a couple of different computers and so the Internet interface works really well for me. But everyone is different! Good luck!
Congratulations !! ....sm
I'm very happy for you! I know how it feels to FINALLY find a company that is a perfect fit.
Much success!
congratulations
My hat is off to you. How did you ever get so fast? I have been doing this for 5 years and I can't type but half that fast, sometimes maybe a little more than half. I do have 2 small children at home, but they will both be in school this fall. I also have Instant Text and have had for 4 years, but I am not utilizing it to its fullest potential I know; I wish I could manage to do that. Any hints? TIA.
Congratulations!
Sounds like you've discovered one of the secrets to making money doing MT. 
CONGRATULATIONS! sm
Glad to give you that extra little "push." As you adjust to your new methods I bet you'll see an even bigger increase in your paycheck!
Congratulations! And, tell
We wish you all the best. Prayers are with you all.
CONGRATULATIONS !
I am so glad that you have decided to do this. I am proud of you for taking the initiative to do this.
We know that to MQ we are only a "number", so they will replace us with another "number", but this job has become so very stressful -- not knowing from minute-to-minute or hour-to-hour if there will be enough work for all of MQ MT's on our accounts !
Congratulations!
I am getting married at the end of October myself. We are having a Roman themed (God's and goddesses)ceremony since it is close to Halloween. Black would not bother me if someone wore it, but my friends wedding this weekend is in the afternoon and I was not sure if black would be okay.
Congratulations!!
Been with them 8 years and struggling like crazy for the past 1-1/2 on DQS. Find out Monday when I can start my new job!!
Congratulations!
Congratulations on your success!!! Whether this is a dying field or not, you still have opportunities in MTing and given time to carve out your path in your journey of life to look into another field if you so choose. Best of luck to you always!!
Congratulations on
going back to school. I'm always amazed when people defend the future of MT. I've seen it go from a clerk/typist job in the hospital that paid minimum wage to a "profession" to an assembly line job, with the assembly line "out of jobs" a good bit of the time.
At least they can't outsource dental work....but then the question will be whether anyone is going to be able to afford dental care or anything else for that matter. I don't think it's just MTs who are suffering. Everything is going up except wages, which are going down everywhere. How can Americans, with our cost of living, compete with $15 a month workers? I don't remember the Great Depression, wasn't born quite yet, but I sure remember my parents talking about it. Their greatest fear was another Great Depression and I wonder if we're not about to see what it was all about.
Congratulations!!! Is this your first? (nm)

Congratulations to you! nm

First off, congratulations!!
My vote is put the note in. It's just smart thinking. I personally would appreciate it.
Congratulations to you!
:-)
Congratulations!!
Congratulations
How wonderful. Congrats to both you and your daughter!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
This is one MT week you will remember! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations!
I'm working on 2 years' of marriage. How time flies. My hubby is a farmer so we don't do much vacationing in the summertime. We went to Vegas last Sept. for our anniversary and hopefully again this year. Best of luck!!
Congratulations!
Hubby and I honeymooned in Helen 12.5 years ago. It is beautiful there.
Enjoy!
Congratulations
Congratulations to your children. Wow, we have smart kids. My daughter has been getting straight A+'s all this year in 6th grade. They must take after us. LOL.
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations To Your Son
I'm happy your son was able to get the job at K-Mart. Good luck to him. And yes, I know, husbands and men in general are never wrong. LOL.
Congratulations to you.
I also am in need of going to gym and perfecting my diet. I think you may realize how difficult it is to make the move. The fact that you did gives me inspiration as I feel so unlike myself, am overweight for the first time in years, tired, nothing fits, people are shocked when they see me and I am becoming house bound and decide when to go shopping when there are fewer people. I even considered shopping in a nearby town so I would not run into people I know.
This is no way to live. The lethargy I feel is profound but I realize the only answer is an exercise program and to cut out the foods that are loaded with salt, fat and sugar.
Congratulations!
Getting the first job is the hardest part of being an MT! (If they are willing to train, even better!!)
Make sure that this "agency" isn't a scam (there are some that prey on new MTs and require them to pay a lot of $$ out up front), and once you're satisfied that it's on the up and up, GO FOR IT!
A computer of your own is a good idea, if only for HIPAA requirements. The desk and chair probably wasn't necessary at first, but if it makes you more comfy, then it was a good idea.
Some companies will provide work equipment, some expect you to buy your own.
Books...I would definitely start with a good medical dictionary, and a medical/pharmaceutical spellchecker. I consider a text Expander essential too. If you can find out what specialties you'll be working, word books for those areas will prove invaluable. You might consider CDs rather than actual books, too, because they're more easily searchable.
It does cost a bit to get started, but KEEP RECEIPTS! Anything that is remotely related to MTing is tax deductible. (Internet connection, gasoline, a second phone line if required, all your equipment and supplies.)
Most times you can get things down the road as jobs and needs dictate. You can even find some things cheap or free if you search.
Expect that you'll be very slow in the beginning. It'll be very discouraging at times, but eventually your speed will increase as your knowledge and listening skills develop. One day you'll be amazed that you're easily doing dictation that a couple months previous sounded like a different language. Just keep at it, have yourself a good cry now and again, and you'll be just fine!
Again, congratulations and good luck in your new job!

Congratulations!
Not sure if I'm going to end up with two posts...but even so, it's worth congratulating you twice. It's an accomplishment to be proud of, so you brag all you like!!!
congratulations!!!!!

Congratulations!
Glad you stuck with it and now you are able to be there for your children. I love typing, too - so I don't think you're weird at all! LOL
A very Happy Anniversary to you!!!    
Congratulations! And don't you think - sm
it's funny that for waste management they need, are able to recognize, and willing to PAY FOR, someone with brains and training to do their work, yet in the healthcare industry.............................
Congratulations!
I've done lots of newsletter editing/publishing, as well as editing several cookbooks for charitable organizations. All of it, unfortunately, on a volunteer basis - but I love it, and when I was doing it I had the time (I was a stay-at-home mom).
Getting paid $25/hr to do it - woohoo! Lucky you!
Congratulations! nm

Congratulations!
Way to go!!
Congratulations
I'm glad you got the job back that makes you the happiest.
I've worked at a hospital and now working independently from home. I have a question about the line rate you mentioned. Is 9 to 10 cents/line the standard rate and is that a gross line or based on a 65-character line? I think I would like to work for a larger company from home but I have so much to learn about the business end of things. Thanks for any help you can give.
Congratulations!
I hope it all works out for you. :-)
Congratulations . . .
and all the best to you!! I love to hear about success like this from independent contractors. May you be blessed with long and successful contracts!
Congratulations!
I wondered about you and am so pleased to hear you passed the CMT exam. Yes, it surely does look as though your particular situation rewards you nicely for your time and care and professionalism. Great news!
Congratulations
I posted here a few days ago after I tried to e-mail you from your prior post, to see how you did and ask about how it was. I am taking mine on the 22nd so am very appreciative of the information you posted. Again CONGRATULATIONS!!!
