There is always a story behind a story isn't there? The little girl desperately needs some psychological help and I hope she lives in a state that will provide it, if her father doesn't have insurance.
She is hurting big time.
You are a wonderful person to hold out your hand in friendship like that - I envy your neighbor. Good luck to you all.

sucker...
Definitely not a sucker - you are a good person. I would love to have a neighbor with your generosity of spirit. Atta girl!
sucker me too
LOL. I was supposed to loose the clinic I was working for as they decided to go with a national company who I decided I didn't want to work for. So I picked up this other company, NOW, the clinic has decided to keep the specialty docs (which is who I typed for) and decided to keep a certain # of MTs, mwah being one of them. So I really ended up with two by accident. I would like to keep the second just so I know I will most likely always have work, but I just don't know if I am disciplined enough to do it. The different room set up someone was talking about sounds good. But I have two computers and 3 monitors that I use while working and cannot really drag those around LOL. I've loved all the responses though....I'm not alone! don't we all like to know that sometimes.
If you think $14 is good then you must not have been a QA person for very long
That is not good. I make much more than that per hour doing QA. Be careful too because I hear they also do not pay on time.
be a good little person and get off Mom's puter
 
A good HR person would know in 30 minutes

I don’t think I would hold yourself as a good person
and putting God into the subject (you said above you gave to the church- I find that questionable, doubt you attend church and if you do not doing you any good)- back to the subject though- you are a devious person who probably would stop at nothing to get what they want, including knocking folks off for their insurance money.
Another Toth Sucker
After reading about Toth in the archives, I needed to put in my two cents worth. I have worked for them for the past six months and every month I had to ask and beg for my check. Well, this time it is a month late, and I was told (every time) that it was lost in the mail. Last night I told them that I wouldn't work for them anymore until I saw the check. The reply back to me was very nasty and rude and basically told me to quit my whining and the only way I would get money would be if I turned in my two week's notice. If not, the money owed me would be cancelled.
My advice to anyone: DO NOT WORK FOR TOTH TRANSCRIPTION!!!!!
You're a good person Paulette
and your mother is lucky to have at least one child who is willing to take responsibility and help her. Not that many years ago, extended families were the rule and not the exception. The truth of the matter is that unless a parent dies early, someone (be it a child, grandchild, or an institution) will probably have to take care of that parent (or parents) emotionally, physically, psychologically, and financially. For most of us, our parents cared for us when we were children and when they age the tables turn. I have 2 sisters who are willing to help with my mother but they live in other states and have no plans to move back to our hometown or homestate. Thus, I will be the one who becomes the caretaker.
I think you will have to sit down with your one brother (and his wife if he is married) and ask them for help that is on a more regular basis. Or, alternatively, just call him when you need him to help. Maybe he will get that hint (though he is male and hints go by undetected!).
I hope you find the relief and assistance you need. Take heart in the knowledge that you are doing the right thing.
the receipt function is only as good as the person --sm
receiving it. She is not *obligated* to send a receipt back. most people choose not to. they do not HAVE to. and I doubt her email is encrypted for HIPAA compliance.
I’m a sucker for a furry face. I currently
have 2 Maltese, 2 Pugs, 1 Lhasa, 1 Yorkie/Chinese Crested mix (we think), 1 Rott/Pit mix and getting another Maltese from the animal shelter this week.
See ya Kat!!!!! I'm a sucker for the underdog which means..... (sm)
......I'm ~really~ hoping for Elliott to win. He seems so GENUINE!
I've got a candy sucker...
She just rattles that hard candy around clacking against her teeth and makes sucking sounds... Lovely! UGH!
another pet peeve for me is the snot sucker.
Today I got stuck with him again for more than a few reports. Grossed me out.
I totally agree. He's a very good-hearted person. nm

Finally a good answer to this person's question--sm
I am always stunned at how insensitive and rude some people can be in their answers and some of those below prove that to be the case. Try to remember that not everyone is like that, although it seems to be otherwise sometimes, on this board. Best of luck to you in whatever you decide to do!
It irritates me no end when a person who supposedly has good sense
to act like a horse's behind. I have tried explaining to an elderly relative I do not put a physician on a pedestel like they do because they are not almight and some downright ugly. The 1 you speak of has no "bedside" manners- the nerve of him! I had a physician tell me 1 time-after giving his word and then rescinding- only your word against mine - I then reminded him of my father's saying- a person is only as good as their word. Erks me big time.
Sounds like a good indicator of a domineering person
Probably best you avoided her, even if she is good.
The top talent isn't always worth all the fluffing it takes to get them to sit down and do their job! lol
Oh good grief! No way. The only Dixie I know of is a forensic medicine person...
not a former bank manager. Maybe there are 2 of them.
I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is
if that is all they WANT to type. Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?
You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones. Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between.
When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.
The person MTSO pays is the person who

One person's "custom" is another person's
"house arrest". I'd never go to the Middle East because of how they treat women. I don't agree with their laws or "justice" system. For example, the woman who was gang raped as punishment for the actions of her 12-year-old brother, a boy who wasn't even an adult. How's that for a "custom"? Let's not forget bride burning. Burqas.
Besides, foreigners don't follow our "customs" when they come to this country. Half of them don't even bother learning English. Instead, we're expected to pay for healthcare and foodstamps for illegals and print everything in Spanish.
I won't be oppressed or treated as a second class citizen, and I wouldn't treat others like that either. A "custom" is more like putting up a Christmas tree, not being abused based on your gender.
i'm sure it will vary from person to person.
I recently did the same thing and am loving it! The freedom from time clocks, the better company, make losing the benefits well worth it to me. You need to set up a plan to have $ set aside for taxes though. I should have done this years ago!
Wrong person. I'm not the person you were
any money. You have a sucky attitude, a "poor me" attitude. Get off your lazy whiny a$$ and work instead of complaining and you will make money. I have one account at 10.5 cpl, two at 14 cpl and one at 15 cpl. I make a lot of money, even on the 10.5 cpl. But I'm not sitting around whining either. And I didn't whine when I made $6 an hour.
That is a good offer. Pay is not that good at UIMC. Good luck! nm

The one person I know who his doing VR....
isn't filling in words, she's having to reconfigure and restructure to the entire report, to the point it would be much easier and faster to just transcribe it. And over several months' time, it hasn't gotten one iota better. I'll believe the "fill in the word" editing when I see it.
like the person below said------
no friend of medical transcriptionists for one thing
and when I met her my only thought was well that must have been
the personification of Marian the Librarian.
I would have thought she'd have retired to a garden pruning weeds by now and gotten her extremism out of our lives. But no such luck.
This person cannot
do anything unless he has a document that was signed by your daughter indicating that he loaned her money using the motorcycle as collateral. To get this person to leave you alone, you may want to have an attorney give this person a call to pose this question (regarding signed doc). I have had a situation occur, not necessarily like yours, but I needed an attorney to write a letter in order to cease the situation and the attorney only charged my $50. The letter took care of the problem.
This person (Taz) is
a perfect example of what I just stated. This world is going to hell in an elaborately decorated hand basket.
So one person (YOU) is MOST MT's?
I make more than you do anyway and I left MT so LOL yourself and good luck finding a job in 5-10 years when this one goes the way of the mule skinner.
wonder if it's the same person?
From VA?
8:20 a.m. - and I'm an a.m. person!!! nm

QA person here(sm)
I QA by cutting and pasting the error; preferably as much of the sentence as I can so they at least have an idea of what I am correcting and why. I also cut and paste my corrections. I also give them hints on how to research, including links.
I'm not sure that (d) up there sounds very nice. New MTs CAN be taught a great deal, but to have that "edge" on them only scares them more. I've been on both ends, as a beginning MT and as QA. I remember the feedback that helped me most and it was often delivered in a friendly helpful manner, no warning shots, etc.
As the other person said, Go For It!
It was supposed to be a 2 year course at the Community College, but the way that the courses were setup and with working, took me 2 1/2 years. Not bad for an *ol' gal!* Was just very proud of myself because at the time, I had a hunch that some people around me were thinking *she'll never do it,* and I did, with flying colors!! I'm sure you have some support behind you, so you should be good to go!! Anyway, if you don't do it, you'll always be wondering *what if,* so just do it!! Like a friend asked me, "But I'll be 10 years older when I finish?!" My answer, "You'll be 10 years older if you don't." LOL!
I'm not so sure it's that person....sm
It could be anyone of about a hundred malcontents. You cannot *assume* on these boards - only the Administrator and Moderators could verify if it's that poster or not. Personally, I don't care who the posters are in reality. I just think what with all the strife going on in the world EVERYWHERE that people/posters should just be a tad kinder in the life.
Envy is fine - envy is like you're happy for that person but wish you were *there* - whereas jealousy (albeit it might be universal) is very unhealthy and nasty, negative, and people wishing to take other people down notches by posting nasty remarks. Oh well, some people just are more comfortable with the negative and nasty in life (guess their cups are always half empty) - but some of us choose to be positive and not nasty (cups being half full). It's all a matter of choice.
Take care and have fun!!
Go by in person??

QA person from MQ please
Hi I have a friend considering changing compaines and coming in as a QA person. She is on the fence can anyone give me some feedback is MQ QA any good, what and how do they pay...Do they treat you ok? She is in the grass is greener syndrome working at another co. I just left MQ for another field I wasn't happy as an MT. Trying to help out a friend thats all..
QA Person
Thank you so much! I feel so much better having heard from you today. I have had the hyphen battle with this person in QA forever it seems and I have continued to follow as shown in the Book of Style. In my heart of hearts I felt I was correct. I plan to take your much appreciated advice and keep typing it the way I have been. I am so thrilled to know that a person in QA agrees that at times the MT gets mixed signals. Now I do not feel so alone. At times I wonder if some people in QA forget how it was before they were in those shoes. I have 2+ years experience and at times I still feel like a newbie fresh out of school. Just wish some QA would be more tolerant -- especially when the MT really does follow the Book of Style. Thanks again!!! Bless you!!! Wish you were my QA . . . at least you seem like you can still relate to how difficult the MT work can be on the otherside of the fence.
Said something about 6 cpl from a person
whose English was atrocious. This person really should pay someone to hire them.
This person is not looking for *help*. sm
She is looking for employees by asking for help and then sending you an email asking for your resume. something suspicious here.
this person is probably just......
trying to protect his or her own job security, so the company does not get job overhire! I would probably do the same. I found my own really good job after 7 years of searching, and I LOVE IT!
I'd tell her RIGHT NOW that the person isn't
if you are going to continue to proof her work. No sense in dragging it out. If someone is going to make it as an MT, you know that fairly quickly.
Please tell me what a person is doing
when the scope is used. I have seen it and do not know exactly what they are doing. Thanks.
You are not the same person.

Maybe the only person they could get who would - (sm)
"speak for 6 cents a line?"
MT person
Well in 4 hours I did over 1600 lines @.125 per line plus one hour of printing and delivering and that equals over $200 which equals $40 to $50 per hour.
And to think we would allow this person to
