In Reply to: changes in DQS line count..sm - dummi
on lowering the line rate for "editing" now that they have given up the "correction" and put everything under transcription and what does "clerical" mean when you go for line count? also QA and QC. aren't they both the same?

Sunday's the day
Received an e-mail that Fox News had started the boycott, and not to buy gas on Sundays. The e-mail I received was not date specific.
Every Sunday
I work 9 hours every Sunday, but this was the schedule that I created.
Her birthday was Sunday. :)
It's been up there at the top since Sunday. lol
Most companies are wanting a Sunday through
Thursday schedule, Tuesday through Saturday, so you would still be working 5 days, but would always be working 1 w/e day. If you just rotate weekends it depends on the company what days you would have off during the week, whether they would dictate the days you took off or you would be able to choose.
I only saw the first few minutes Sunday night.
It was a repeat. I will try not to give to much away. They were having an affair. She was about to tell him she was pregnant but he told her that they should cool things for awhile, so he doesn't know she is pregnant. Much more happens after this. I don't know if next week's episode is going to be new or not. Let me know if you need more info. I am hooked also.
Just got back from Disney on Sunday
at the Polynesian resort. We stayed there last year. Stayed at Grand Floridian this year (courtesy of in-laws). We had the Disney Dining plan, 1 counter service, 1 table service, and 1 snack per person per day. We found it worked out to be a good deal for us.
Thanks! I was devastated that I missed it Sunday!

I thought about my birth mom on Sunday (nm)

Will U still need Paul McCartney Sunday when he's 64?
Will U still feed him? Grandchildren on his knee - Vera, Chuck & Dave...
11 o'clock p.m. is still Sunday, and third shift
can vary with company, depending on if they are on one coast and you are on another. I have been offered a 3rd shift job, but can start at 9:00 p.m. based on the time differences in our locations.
only 1 alert from MTStars since Sunday??
Is there something wrong with the site or have the storms from Michigan hit the MTstars website?  It seems like I should have more than one alert from this board. Is anybody else having the same trouble? Just wondering and trying to stay dry. (As best I can since Michigan has had 4 days of rain and more forecast). 
In our Sunday School class, now we teach!nm

SORRY. meant for MTSO post below. Must be Sunday
My only night off. Big old brain cramp here!
I got lucky this year. Scheduled off is Sunday. :)
Not so lucky last year. I took on this job knowing that my scheduled work days were just that, holiday or not, and I've never minded.
I do ask for time off well in advance if I want it and the 2 companies I work for have never had a problem.
every sunday regularly; probably 2 sats a month
@@
Hey Snow Bunny, did you get through the storms okay on Sunday? sm
I hope you and your family are okay.
Monday night- Friday, and either Saturday or Sunday, or both -sm
I usually goof off Saturday (or do very minimal work Friday night and Saturday) and then regret it and have have about 130 minutes to do on Sunday, does not make for a fun day.
Any Sopranos fans out there waiting for the big return on Sunday?
Can't wait.
We have such gorgeous weather here today, Easter Sunday!
What about where you are?!
Entertain them? Chores? Church on Sunday? You women are a joke!
How you are reading that into my statements is really a hoot! Please tell me you don't have children! My, we are all on the defense over this - how many of you have no relationship with your kids? Soooooooo sad!!
Work Tuesday through Sunday morning on night shift. nm

Ordered a Dell with XP Sunday night, arrived here Wed morning!
This is my 3rd Dell computer over the years. My current one is more than 5 years old and is just getting a little slow and outdated, so my hubby the computer guru suggested I get a new one before you can no longer find XP. He is still getting it set up for me (I am pretty picky!). Been VERY happy with Dell. Never had a single problem with their computers. My current computer still has lots of life in it, so he is going to use it as a backup for his laptop. BTW, we went right to the Dell website and ordered. Good luck to you! 
I work Friday-Tuesday including 8 hours each Sat and Sunday.
I like it a lot, but don't think I could do three 12-hour days in a row, no matter which days they are. Someone must have done it successfully or they wouldn't be offering it, though, so go for it and Good Luck!
I gotta work on Saturday, but on Sunday I'm going to take the kids to a Renaissance Festival.
And Monday, the kids and I are going boating and to a cook out at the lake with family. 
definite dearth of good TV on Sunday. Hafta watch weather, sports
Friend's kidneys shut down from anorexia on a Friday, she died early Sunday. nm

Has this changed?
Congrats!
Will all MTs be changed over to ASR?
x
no, nothing has changed.
Just a very bossy lady who waits until the last minute to give me the work, sometimes three to five days later than it came in, and then demands it ASAP. It isn't my fault she cannot keep up with the work.
Fed law changed that
We got a notice last year that the feds required they get 911 in place in all areas by the end of the year. When we first got it, we had no 911 service. We had to use the 911 service twice due to my son being so ill and it worked fine, however afterwards we had to reboot the modem and wait for half an hour to get the phone back. I think having a regular line just for local calls is advisable and using Vonage for long distance only or work is the safest way to go.
Has changed now though
My husband - now ex - has been in trucking for over 25 years and all of our friends have and are and were. It has changed a lot and also depends on whether you own your own or drive for someone else. Kind of like IC versus employee. Also a lot have also been outsourced as there are a lot of foreigners driving the trucks now a days. There is such a similarity between the two (MT and trucking) but this started with trucking sooner. Just like MT you do not make money unless you are moving and when that truck has to pay two salaries it is hard. But like you said, your dad raised four kids but in this day and age it would be hard to do. If you are cross country it is so hard watching expenses, etc. Again just like MT it was a good career and if you have been in it for years it is still decent pay but to start out in it, would not do that. Just like MT as I have very good accounts, make very good money but when someone talks to me about starting out in it, I do shudder a little as I read such horror stories on this board and I know it is not as easy to do as it was when I started 20+ years ago. I do still yearn for the open road sometimes though. It is a way to see the US. Drove through 42 of the 48 states here and Canada. Anyway that is my thoughts for what they are worth.
changed
Yes there have been changes but not all companies abide by them either. Some stuff comes up to be all subjective though and some companies QA team is quite picky. Obviously your own accounts still like what you do so I wouldn't worry about it.
Maybe you changed the
spellcheck setting so that capitalized words would be spellchecked, which is a very smart thing to do.
I don't know how to make the change the poster below mentioned, but I'd rather have it spellcheck names than not spellcheck capitalized words, especially since I have to cap allergies.
I just changed ..
I did start at 4 a.m. but was finding it very difficult to get up consistently. Now I start at 5, and it's much easier. Due to kid's activitise it is often 10:30-11:00 pm before I get to bed, and I just personally could not do it.
so, you would have to make going to bed early a priority ..
Good luck to you!
I would think that if ANYTHING is changed
such as that, the MT would have to be notified. If you have a signed contract stating a line is XXX, then would they not be in violation for not disclosing the fact that the contract is now in violation?
I just changed my IT
Thanks for the tips. I just recompiled my Instant Text glossaries and then went into the Importer and created abcz glossaries. I hope this helps. I really need to be making 300 to 500 lph because my huby was just laid off and no one is hiring.
Thanks again!!!!
I work Sun.-Thurs. normally and will work on Fridays to get Sunday off if I need it. Works

I think you are right. I think they may have changed back to what it should have been all along.

Things have not changed
at Transhealth and one just needs to check back on past postings a week ago and you will read the bad experiences people have had with TH. Good luck if you go with them as you are going to need it!
I changed ATT LD to SBC business sm
line. Will see how long it lasts. Took me FOREVER to get to a LIVE American person who could do this for me!
BOS is changed so you have to keep buying the new one--$$$$

My margins are changed!
Just went into my acct for a clinic in which I am an IC being paid 12 cpl in MS Word. I have not worked for a week. Today, I notice the margins are changed. Does this change what constitutes a line (isn't it 65 characters per line)??? I go into their system and type on their MS Word via HSI.
I am dumbfounded.
The needs of the client have changed.
They can say they need the work whenever the fancy strikes them. You can either provide it or not. That is just the way this business works.
Not unless something has changed recently...
I have worked at a job where I had to use both the Lanier and a Dictaphone. They are two very separate things.
I don't think so...they have changed the protocol--sm
for numbers, in particular, at least three times in the last five years. I know, because it gets annoying to have to change the way I do things everytime they want to sell another book for $80 a pop. They started out with numbers 1 through 10 being spelled out and using numbers above 10. Then it was numbers instead of roman numerals, and then it was back to using all numbers and not spelling them out....shheeesh make up your minds! and that is all within the last five 5 years. I swear they do it just to sell more books and not because any of it is right or wrong, or *standard*, because it isn't. JMO
If it grossed you out, you should have changed
Not prude, eh? Involved a cat? This could mean only a few things (mating, eliminating, shedding).
Why possibly cost someone their job because you are so delicate?
You were fortunate to have been talking to someone friendly enough to go beyond the acquisition of information.
What is up with the American workforce? Are we all now just a bunch of whiny crybabies and tattletales.
I wouldn't want you to work on my team.
Very little hasn't changed...sm
since the beginning of time. It's not just the 'religious fanatics' who have changed. The human race has evolved in their beliefs since Adam and Eve. Christians don't follow the rules of the Old Testament per se, because Jesus fulfilled the laws. There aren't too many religions who still make animal sacrifices. A woman who is having her period is no longer considered unclean. Pork is not considered taboo in the Christian faith, and Catholics aren't limited to eating only fish on Fridays. There were religions who believed in human sacrifice, but I doubt that goes on very much any more.
People have evolved in that we no longer believe the world is flat. We don't believe you are going to get AIDS by touching someone who has it. We no longer believe that a woman who is having her period can't go swimming.
Who believes the same things they believed when they were six? How different are your beliefs than your parents? Not just about religion, but about anything.
I'm a lover of WP 6.1 but changed
over to Word 2003 about a year and a half ago. I still have all my disks for WP 5.1 and 6.1 but hate to let them go! If you haven't found what you need, you might give this site a try. I was in communication with this lady a couple of years ago but she couldn't ship to California.

ExText...something changed
Question to all ExText users out there...I have been using ExText for over a year now, and right after January 1, I can no longer do control x to copy and move text any more. I have to copy the text, paste it to the place I want it, then go back and delete the text I copied. Is anyone else experiencing this problem. I did e-mail company but they, of course, did not answer me. I hate this, it is too time-consuming, just another step added to take away from production.
The rules changed?
I would have used a comma in that situation. But, I had no idea that the rules of English grammar had formally changed. This is a revelation; most of my grammar education happened before 1972.
I have changed my hours, s/m
I know a lot of people think that they cannot work nights and I used to think the same thing. I wish I would have done it a long time ago.
I cannot say that I am not sleep deprived at times BUT it has been great. I work a Sun.-Thurs shift starting at 9 p.m. when my daughter is out of school. I get off at 4 a.m. if I take no breaks. This allows me to get 4 or 5 hours of sleep before she gets up and then I lay down for a couple of hours when hubby gets home.
Working a split shift might help you, too.
