Coal Miners
I am praying for you and your families. I have been in prayer most of the day and just want to believe as you do that things will be ok. Thy Will be Done.

May God bless the miners trapped in West Virginia. There is power in prayer. Let's rally MTs!
Is there engineer week? Astronaut week? Veterinarian week?

China?
Costco owned by China you say?
So what? SO WHAT?????
I just left China
Actually, I just left China. Poor old souls. Not many pretty women in China.
I needed to get home to the states to see all the beautiful women. I felt like I was intoxicated when I came through the door at Medquist and saw all my beautiful gals.
Sara Lee in China?
I'm also hearing that Sara Lee, you know, cakes and pastries? Well they also have many of their products made in CHINA now!!!
yep, it's china - who will take over world by
google that subject......if you so desire....about China taking over the entire world (not in my lifetime thankfully) by 2039-2040.
I remember when I was 12 years old, a chinese restaurant in White Plains, NY, that my folks took us too all the time, was closed down because they found dog and cat bones in their trash.
LOL - in another 25 years China will be
If indeed more co. using China labor we need

Not the least of the borrowed $$ from China is for...sm
of course, those stimulus checks! Does that make sense to anybody? Not me in this credit-card-driven economy. This is starting to catch up with this country. Some day very soon, trust me, we are going to be owned by other countries - or just plain bankrupt and barely scratching by. My thoughts (from some research I've done) are that this will be yet another third-world country, thanks in the largest part to Bush and his wasteful spending on everything but this country or its citizens!!! Such a sad state of affairs!
Used to be machinist, until all the jobs went to china. NM

dog abuse in China story
Listen . . . .what is your real posting name anyway?
My priorities are not your concern. It is a well known fact that people who abuse animals easily go on to violent behavior against people. If clubbing innocent dogs to death doesn't bother you, it should. There are much better ways to deal with a rabies problem than that. Perhaps instead of ranting about my priorities, maybe you could put your energy toward helping create a solution for the abuse of innocent childern or one of the other million problems going on in the world. What ARE YOU doing to help make the world a better place?
killing of dogs in China
Please click on the following link to help stop the killing of the dogs in China in such a horrible inhumane way. Thank you.

thank you for the dogs in China link
We CAN make a difference - thank you.
"How to off-shore MT to China?"...
Why in the WORLD would they be involved with something in China, unless they are planning to assist them with taking MORE of our work????? I can see it now . . . first China, then India, Pakistan...on and on. We can pay to watch them put us out of work. Yipee. "American" was taken out of the name for obvious reasons.
Same here, although I won't be spending it on a trip to China
I do disagree about not being good at MT though. I think many competent MTs shoot themselves in the foot by not recognizing the value of their skills and working for less than they are worth.
Especially their interest in CHINA, of all places. -sm
Look at what's been coming out of there already - poison pet food, poison people food, badly made and dangerous children's toys, flimsy everything else, etc. They try to bend the rules on just about everything they make & export.
Imagine the quality of their medical transcription.....
[* SHUDDER! *] :/
And India and China can organize their own
And the big salaries of AHDT board members will go bye-bye!
Walmart opened up 15 stores in CHINA....nm

2039/2040 is when CHINA will really control us.NM

India and China will undoubtedly be creating
Just as the blue collar workers in manufacturing can be replaced, in this global setting, so can the entire corporations - I give them 10 years before the enterprising businessmen in China, India (whereever US CEOs have fled to gain access to slave labor) steal the info and create their own companies and compete as they certainly would be happy with a fraction of the American CEOs income.
just wait - in 2039 or 2040 CHINA will rule...nm
Typically this week is a slow week in lots of places
because it is a big vacation week. Typically things slow dow a bit in the summer too because people are putting off elective surgery, but at the same time lots of people going on vacation so it should balance out.
Lowest runs $900 week, highest $1400 week (sm)
Get paid 12 CPL. Been doing transcription for about 12 years.
I had heard China holds our notes, and this article verifies that. Also, are you
Back decades ago the US had a gentleman's agreement for the oil from Saudi in exchange for us to be their police protection. Now suddenly the prince of Saudi has been courting Asia to sell it's oil to. Well, Asia will be a good customer.......for the short haul but China does not have the infrastructure to use as much oil as the US does.
An investor I know keeps telling me there is an expected depression this year or early next (2007). I keep seeing things that make me think its so. I know WalMart is doing odd things with its merchandise. And they are working their employees like slaves! having cashiers do toilets, and working the floors way understaffed.
Other companies are seeing the same thing. The companies are trying not to reduce their expected profits, so they are taking it off the backs of employees through taking the pensions, whittling off health insurance, less and less holiday leave, making people do the job of 2 or 3 others.
Our economy is built on hot air.
There were more bankrupcys this month than every before. Also credit cards are getting slower and slower payments in.
People all around me are losing their jobs with the speed of light, I don't care what you READ in the newspaper. They can print whatever they want to, but the reality is in talking to your neighbors and putting your ear to the ground. Salaries are going south, people are sitting here like us with no raises for years.
What makes me sick is our govt officials keep feeding vitamins and jobs to countries that HATE us - China and India. Why in the world! I know they are under the idea that *democracy* spreads peace in the world, but the *democracy* the United States is spreading right now doesn't look right to me. We are losing our rights, our homes to eminent domain, being overrun with illegals and yet the illegals are getting the health care (I typed on someone last night who was not working in this country, not even a legal immigrant, and they were doing scads of tests on this person! and yet I sit here having paid taxes for 45 years and can't afford to own a home or go to the dentist. My car is 20 years old. Where is my country when I need them?)
It's CHINA for Pete's sake, where they still kill girl babies. Do you think
they have some sort of dog euthanasia patrol of paid government employees? Puhleeeze yourself.
Does China now own a large portion of U.S. Treasury bonds? You sound "in the know."

Agree, we are only seeing the beginning of losing so many jobs overseas to India, China, etc., etc.,
This is a sad reality. However, our country has let this go on for years now.
UNBELIEVABLE!!! I am speechless. I literally have no words! A $5000 trip to China to teach
them how to steal our jobs?
I work 6 days a week every other week
Due to my company's payroll (it runs Sun-Sat), I'm able to work a rotating schedule with every other weekend off. Week 1 I work Sunday through Thursday with Fri, Sat, Sun off. Week 2 I work Monday through Friday with Saturday only off. Then I'm back to week 1 and get that following weekend off.
I've found that I'm more productive with shorter shifts and I have kids in school anyway, so I work a lot of split shifts during the week. If possible, you might want to consider cutting back your hours to 30 hours and just work five 6-hour days in split shifts, 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening.
I have no AC. Will be in 90s again her in WI next week...
Ugh. Ugh. Worst part is my little kids. And, everything feeling sticky. I hate that.
*send me cool breezes* LOL!
Maybe twice a week. That is enough for me. nm

$60 a week ($12 a day) nm

Did see that one, but saw one last week where...
this anti child predator group posed as young teenagers on the internet and lured men to a house where NBC cameras were set up. In 3 days about 20 men showed up to have sex with 12/13/14 yo boys and girls. What was shocking was that not all of them were non-functional anti-social types. Many of them were professionals including a TEACHER, rabbi, ER doctor, etc. You should have seen their reaction when they realized they were speaking with NBC Primtime and their faces were going to be showcased on national TV. Needless to say, the professional men's lives have been ruined. It is scary to think there are so many seemingly trustworthy men who would show up to have sex with a child. VERY SCARY. Lesson for parents. Don't allow you children to use chat rooms PERIOD!
I wish I saw this last week sm
I just ordered a bunch, but I'll keep track of your web sites and check them out. Thanks for the tip.
She already said 50 hrs per week and
That means she's making around $25 an hour, which is about right for an experienced MT with their own accounts and lots of shortcuts, templates, and expanders. Working for a company and working for self are two completely different ballgames. If you work for a company, then the person you are working for is making 3-4 cpl (at least) more than you are in order to pay you what you make and still earn a profit to run the business. If you work for yourself, then you set the rates based on what you need to make to earn a living. I would say a good average CPL rate for MTs with their own accounts is probably 12-13 cpl so you can do the math. If an MT is working for self making 12 cpl, in order to earn $25 an hour, they'd need to produce 208 lines. Not exactly unrealistic for anyone with experience and expanders, etc.
Sorry if you all aren't making that kind of money, but it can be made if you are good at what you do and you utilize production aids and don't settle for measly 6-cpl jobs.
my first week on my own
Wow. I started with two companies at once which was dumb, but on is limited and pays better. Only thing is their software is the most unuser friendly thing and I can't seem to understand. I have to download the voice files from their site, transfer that name -DSS onto the text name, type the reports in Word and transfer them over too. It's ridiculous. Then I started with Infomatics which seems like a sweat shop. If i made $75 all week, it's a lot. They finally sent me a food pedal, and would you believe it was defective? I've used either hot keys or the screen on the monitor. Takes 4 hours to do a 20 minute job, no joke. They are like a sweatshop. Got offer from Ameriscribe but don't want to work weekends. I ran my own service, apparently from the stone age, and this is really a hard transition. The typing is easy if I had a footpedal and with the other company could understand their stupid, stupid software! HELP!
I had one the other week who...
kept slamming the receiver down on a hard surface while she paged through the chart. And then when she picked it up again, she started speaking before she had it close to her mouth, so I lost a lot of what she was saying. What a pain!
By the way, I was going 2 x a week at first, then 1 x a week and - sm
as I said now once every 2 weeks. As mentioned below avoid those that want to see you every day (I did that once years ago....bill was $600 after 3 days...needless to say I argued the bill and got it knocked down to about $200 and never went back) or use weird gadgets, etc. There are good ones out there.
This is the second week that
I didn't enjoy the show. They all seemed nervous or off. Kelly's twang is getting on my nerves. She reminds me of Ellie May from the Beverly Hillbillies. Is there anyone else out there that thinks Kenny Rogers looks like Merv Griffin? His plastic surgery certainly is subtle. 
I am going to do it once a week. (sm)
I'm so excited. I may finally be blackhead free. I was just about to buy some expensive stuff. This cost me a whole doll-hair!!!!
mt week
is MT week next week?? thanks
What do you think this week?
And again Taylor and Elliot take the cake in my book. I thought Katherine did poorly again. She should have thanked her lucky stars that she didn't get sent home last week and picked up the pace, but obviously she didn't. Chris was just okay in my opinion. He is actually boring me lately. I used to think he was great. Still think he has talent, just not entertaining anymore.
GO ELLIOT!!!! GO TAYLOR!!!!!
