button was for actual date and time, not the settings of the footpedal to rewind, play and fastforward. The achives of MTstars helped me figure that out!

Date with keyboard on Friday to have time for
My twin granddaughters, the dynamic duo, (17 months) who will be spending the rest of the weekend with Gram and "Aunnie" (my 11-year-old). Can't wait to play and spoil, spoil, spoil!
I probably will be in bed and sound asleep after they leave Sunday at 7:00. :)
Restore to a previous date. Backup files next time.
No, I thought so too. I found it odd that they could have the husband
do the work. Probably what they did though was ask the company to let him "work" for the day, but in reality, he was only trying to do the work and was having someone check the work before sending it in. I doubt they would have allowed him to just take over for the day.
I found this and thought it was cute: "I have the body of a god ... unfortunately, it's Buddh

I always found that if I took the time to research
a term or a phrase myself and put the 'leg work' into it, I'd remember it much better the next time the phrase came up. The research might be time consuming but is an excellent study tool as well.
I suspect a lot of MTs on the board are cheating themselves by just letting others 'feed' them the answers.
Thanks for taking the time. I found 650-623-4000

I agree with the other posters that I found them to be a waste of time ...
I sent them a resume with over 20 years of acute care experience and they didn't even extend me the professional courtesy of acknowledging that they received it.
The archives yield posts by other MTs stating more disappointment with them after making contact than favorable results.
It's the first time i ran through your site and I found it very informative and interesting. Nice
I really appreciate what you're doing here. Very interesting site. when Table Steal Table Expect , when Opponents Expect Cards Give Good, Greedy, Central nothing comparative to Faithful , Table can Loose Stake Industrious Boy is always Faithful Girl
I thought it was just me for the longest time
About 8 to 10 years ago, it was a piece of cake to make OVER 300 lines per hour after doing a bunch of doctors I'd gotten used to over a few weeks/months (depending on the difficulty of the docs).
For the past 2+ years, no matter where I work (and I've worked for a few), I'm finding that it's been a struggle to reach 200 lines (let along over 300!) an hour ... and I'm noticing that on message boards nowadays, it's considered average to transcribe 150-175 lines an hour (?).... Wow. Just wow. Didn't that used to be considered "newbie" range? Or am I mistaken?
Even when I mention to potential employers/MTSOs that my goal is to reach at least 300 lines per hour, they always sound taken aback or have a hesitancy in their voices as far as that being even a possibility!
I'm making 20% to 30% less than I did as a newbie 15 years ago. Now I know I'm getting older and perhaps slowing down, but I've been noticing line counts diminishing with using these proprietary programs these companies use for quite a while now.
I agree with hayseed and the OP of this thread.
Have you thought about putting her in daycare only part time?
I don't know if you are able to set your own hours or not, but if you can put her in daycare for 4 or so hours a day and then work before she gets up in the morning and/or after she goes to bed at night that might be a viable option. She would get the benefit of socialization in daycare, you would get some solid, uninterrupted work time and you would still get to spend a good part of the day with her. Just a thought. When my daughter was 18 months old I began working part-time in the outside world and I truly felt I had the best of both worlds, because she really enjoyed daycare and got to socialize, and I enjoyed my time being productive away from the house and I didn't feel like I was away from her for too long. Best wishes to you and your family!
And all this time I thought the bottom line was patient care. nm

How astute to check the turnover time, hadn't thought
of that. But, you're right, no way that's a coincidence, and your surety on this is confirmation. I'm sorry for you--that's a huge decrease in your lines. Good luck in your search for something better.
I did try the Belkin and I thought it was working but the first time I let up on my foot pedal
it just stopped and froze up my computer. I tried all of the COM ports I could think of. Today, I ordered the Dynex adapter which is the other adapter that Escription recommends and I'm going to try that. I am not giving up. I do hope that in version 8 of Editscript that really do make the foot pedals USB and get into this century. It's almost impossible to find new computers that have the serial ports on them anymore. I will update you on this Dynex adapter when I try it out now. So, for the time being, I am packing along my little portable computer when I travel. It's pretty small but it's just having to bubble wrap the flat monitor that is a pain. At least, I get to work and play. It'd just be nice if I could take my laptop instead..
I thought there was one to cook in crockpot. Don't have time to do the stove thing today but than

I found out a long time ago that there are two kinds of editing.. one is editing MTs work (like QA)
and the other is editing as in VR. I have done VR editing, but when I put down this as experience on a resume, I was asked by the HR person if this meant that I had "edited" other MTs work. I think there is a lot of confusion out there and I wish they would just keep that as QA instead of calling it editing. Just be clear in what you want to edit as most companies that expect you to "edit" other MTs in a QA position do require you have a lot of experience. If you just going for VR editing, which is what Transcend has available and there are a few companies out there doing VR, none of which I think really require much experience as it is easy to learn. Hope I made some sense and it can be pretty confusing on how companies use the term "editing" thus it effects their expectations as far as experience goes.
Nevermind, but thanks
Nevermind, just got the answer in my digest version...Thanks anyways...You guys are great.....

For a REALISTIC but FANTASTIC job, here's what I think:
-- limited ESLs but completely accessible samples (meaning, a secure website that I can go to in the middle of the night when I'm typing and get all the samples I need)
-- Word Expander of my choice on YOUR provided equipment
-- Weekly teleconferences with my entire mgmt team and coworkers to discuss how we did last week, what we see coming up this week, what's on our mind, etc.
-- Base pay commensurate with worktypes: clinic and ER = 0.10 cpl; acute care w/o ops = 0.12 cpl; ops = 0.15 cpl; specialties (neuro, ophth, cardio, path, hem/onc, etc.) = 0.15
-- Production incentives based on that day's lines-per-hour averages; the more you type, the higher the incentive tier
-- Shift differentials of 1 cpl for 2nd shift and 2 cpl for 3rd shift if you work 4 or more hours into the shift
-- Difficulty pay for weighted ESLs and difficult dictators (not all ESLs are bad, some US docs are hideous) up to double lines
-- Weekend incentives of 3 cpl for 1000 lines or more on Sat and Sun
-- REgular QA feedback
-- Qrtly bonuses based on percentage of QA blanks sent and quality on regular QA analysis of my work
-- PTO rates averaged every quarter
-- PTO of 15+ days a year -- commensurate with yrs of svc
-- PAID HOLIDAYS (paid hrly if not worked and double lines if worked)
-- Mentor program -- pair up proven exp'd MTs with newbies and pay the mentors a flat fee per month
-- Let me earn a few extra rewards for top production and really high QA and not missing work and keeping my schedule and good communication
-- A $50 "thank you" during MT week
-- Never promise anything you cannot or will not deliver
How's that?

I figured it out....So nevermind
I feel really stupid, but I was checking online to find a resolution to my problem and found a reminder to make sure the box is checked to expand quickwords when you type them. How that box got unchecked I don't know, but anyway, problem solved!

Nevermind. Apparently, my speaker wire
came loose just a little bit from the computer and it caused this. You would think it would not work at all if that happened. Sorry!
Nevermind what CMTer says. She's obviously an AHDI cheerleader!

Nevermind - I saw your second post answering my question. sm
It might be video, but you might not have a video card because a lot of motherboards have the video functions (chipset) embedded on the board these days. If that's the case, it might need a new motherboard. Hopefully, you do have a video card that proves to be the problem and it turns out to be an easy fix.
Oh, I found it really creepy when you said you found the flowers not so skillfully arranged on your
steps, and from your own flower bed. That's what I was worried about, having gone thru some psycho kids myself with my pups. Someone's been in your yard and in your garden and at your door without your knowledge. Its just creepy to me, and I'd still be very, very careful. Especially valid sounded the other MTs warning you about potential fake molestation charges. You just NEVER know nowadays, and these people have already turned on you big time once. Luckily (though I don't believe in luck), you had it on film to save yourself and your puppy. You might not be that lucky next time, and the whole thing just sounds very unstable to me right now. I know you feel sorry for the little girl, but probably the only time I have ever made BAD decisions regarding my life is when I felt sorry for someone, particularly kids. My son even has an evil kid in his life, but one who has a million reasons for sympathy, and I was saying how we should "be bigger" than the situation and invite this kid over to play. Thankfully, I regained my sanity long enough to remember - ever time I have done something like that on a personal basis for someone just because I feel sorry for them AFTER horrible behavior, it has always been a disaster... Be kind, but you don't have to risk your family again. Be kind from a distance. Its sorry she went thru this horrible experience, but YOU didn't cause it, and its not really your problem. But it could be your problem if this kid acts out in your life. Know what I mean?
Up-date
Okay, I found a phone number on my statement for thier "Premier" card so I called that number. I asked where the rep was located and she tole me Buffulo, NY and her name was Vivian. I got the answer to my question and then told her I had initially called and got hold of a center in the Phillipines but I refused to talk to them. I asked how I could go about lodging a complaint about the company offshoring. She said she could forward the complaint for me but it probably wouldn't do any good. I told her it would do some good if more people did as I was doing and also lodged complaints about offshoring. I explained that in my profession offshoring a a huge problem and that it was only a matter of time before SHE lost her job to offshoring also. I told her to include in my complaint that her bosses worked for me and if I, and others like me, refused to use their services, her boss and the company's management would be looking for new jobs. Vivian told me they have call centers all over the world and I just lucked out using the :"Premier" phone number because I do not have a "Premier" card. She said in the future if I want to get a rep in the US, I will probably have to hang-up and call back, several times maybe, until I got hold of a US rep. (Yeah, right, I am calling the Premier number first thing). But, at least I know what it might take to get a US rep.
I realise even the offshore people are just looking to make a living but what about all the US citizens trying to make a living, only to see their jobs go offshore? And I agree that it is "managament" that is responsible for this, but until we stand up for ourselve, no one else will. Management works for us!! Just like the managment of the MTSOs and even the Nationals have no job without us. It it too easy to say, "Well, just this one time, I will use the foreign call center, One time won't make a difference." But it is that one time, added to your one time and added to her one time, added to my one time and on and on, that WILL make a difference. It is too easy to sit back and wait for someone else to solve the problem. That attitude will get us nowhere but out of work or working for slave wages.
Date? Isn't that where....sm
a guy asks a gal out, and they go to the movies, maybe dinner, or something fun? I haven't been on one of those in several months now.
As far as internet dating goes - have you tried it? I've met more decent guys through the internet over the past 5 years than I have at church, in the grocery store, through neighbors, etc. Of course you have to use common sense and if you smell a rat then run.... but often times you can figure out who the jerk or married person pretending to be single is through some chatting on-line before you even talk on the phone. Two guys I met on-line are still good friends and I hooked up 1 with a gal that I knew that they were much more compatible and they've been dating now for 5 months.
Just went on a date!
Anyone have any success with eharmony.com? It's not a good thing when you get to the stop light and bust up laughing over what you just went through!
well now you date yourself and ME..LOL..sm
Well, I'm old enough to be your oldest sibling or perhaps even your parent *L*
I VOTED FOR MONDALE AND FERRARO - it was my first election that I chose to vote in and I think it was 1972. (I didn't vote when I first turned 18). GIRL POWER!!!! YEAH!!
LOL, no, I think you need a date. LOL. nm
.
Actually, the date is right there on the
why is it MOST important to you what I do?
