Oops. . . .that's supposed to say sing, not sign :o)
x
just read this...supposed to SMILIE face...oops again..
I'm starting to sound like Brittany Spears! YUK! 
I'm ready to quit being an IC. I was supposed to have today off,
so I scheduled in the personal things I need to get done. Errands, baking, housework, planning a kid's birthday party, post office, bank, bills. Guess what I got up to this morning? Tons of work. That's fine. It's money, so I'll do it. However, now I'm totally overwhelmed because all this other stuff still needs to get done today.
I'm also really tired of doing all the research and record keeping without getting paid for it. When I figure out my income versus how many hours I actually spend working, not just typing, it hardly seems worth it any more. Phone calls, emails, looking things up, keeping logs, downloading, uploading, line counting, waiting for work, and all that other jazz. It's worked into a fulltime job without fulltime pay. I worked until 9:00 last night to get everything done so I could have today off. I just wish I could find a decent MT job where you do your lines, you don't have to look up a bunch of information while guessing on the spelling, and the platform was streamlined for maximum productivity. It's gotten to the point where I've been reading the Job ads again to get out of MT entirely.
Only 90 degrees? It was 112 in Phoenix yesterday, supposed to be hotter today.

oops, too much typing today, thanks! nm

I can't do that because it litterally takes my
breath away. It's like I'm smothering. My aunt had wood heat and I couldn't even visit.

Good posture? hehe! (sm)
If I followed all the posture instructions I learned in typing school (yes, typing school -- I'm a dinasaur), I would probably have a body orthotic.
Regarding torture (you made me laugh, and thank you for that!): Ergonomics are important, but everyone is different. A comfortable chair and a good keyboard at a comfortable level (mine is in my lap) are probably the most important things in order to be able to stay working for good stints.
You've learned a lot from this board and I didn't read all the posts below me, so I won't elaborate much except to say that, IMO, the main reason MT is not a good field is because voice recognition will eventually replace us. I have about 15 years left and I'm just hoping I can stay in this field in some way until I retire.
If you have the time, patience, stamina, and discipline, you will do well.
We don't get paid for things "normal" jobs pay, i.e., potty breaks, phone calls, taking a deep breath without typing, etc.
Good luck, sweetie, and remember everyone is different. I am happy, but I rarely post. I'd rather make money.
same here but hubby got me a stool to reach the top, hehe..nm

hehe I was able to nurse and type at the same time. It's all a matter of the chair and keyboard

You literally have nothing better to do????
How can you call yourself a professional and say those things then if you are not jealous? You are really showing some style here, let me tell ya'? You sound so classy! NOT!
MQ Rules, literally! Go MQ!

NO! NO! That is so weird. I literally just got off the
phone calling Frontline with the SAME THING and asking details on cat treatment then after I went out and bought some. I got a really nice girl! NO - dog flea products are often fatal to cats. I have 2 adorable rescue kittens who are loaded with fleas. We have been waiting til they were old enough for Frontline, and I'm short of cash too, so was thinking of fudging with the dogs' Frontline that I have extra of!! Good luck! Meow!
The type where you literally (sm)
can't tell if they are saying black or white?? How do they do that? Working in an office, we could have 4 different MTs listen, and 2 would think the dictator said the patient was black and 2 would think he said white. Grrrrr.
I knew because I could literally hear it
I could hear the explosion(s) from where I lived, plus the hubby called me because he was on the bridge and he could see one of the Towers burst into flames. But I totally understand feeling kept in the dark. I don't remember anyone from my account calling me or discussing it with me. The first attack (when a truck exploded in the garage, I think, of the World Trade Center years before), I didn't find out about til I turned on the TV that night. I totally understand the isolation factor.
I had literally thousands of viruses using that.
It broke a record for what my computer guys had seen. I use TrendMicro now.
4000+ lines a day is literally not possible.
The MT companies are ripping MTs off with VR. It takes nearly as long, and in some cases longer, to edit and correct VR reports as it does to straight type them, and to pay half (or some horrible companies pay only a third!) of the line rate is completely unfair and unethical.
She may be an MTSO, but I knew an MT who literally typed 18 hrs a day.

"It's all about me" - nature of the beast - literally

when I post a job, I get literally hundreds of responses
- that's without offshore-- and people with good skills and experience are willing to work anywhere from 18 cpl to 12 cpl to 6 cpl. So I would say yes, the field is becoming increasingly more competitive
You are taking it literally, which is not what I meant. I would rather not pay the highest price
out there, as I'm on a budget.
I have actually loaded it from the testing the company sent and have literally gone in and deleted i
the pedal just works terribly. I will wait until the tech guy calls me today and see if he can figure it out. If not, well then I am not sure what I can do.
Yeah! After 11 years of it, I'm so sick of it I could literally scream, and that's no joke!
And these docs who dictate faster than the speed of sound, like they could give a rat's butt because they're in too big of a hurry to get out on the golf course, I like to strangle with my own bare hands. I'd like to tell them all what I really think about them. Truly, I have zip respect for 99.9% of the doctors out there today, who seem completely incompetent. How they manage to get out of med school I'll never know! 
UNBELIEVABLE!!! I am speechless. I literally have no words! A $5000 trip to China to teach
them how to steal our jobs?
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm
my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away! I checked and the Type It button is grayed out! I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies. Can anyone please help me ASAP? I am lost without it! TIA
Perhaps you are right. This one is dated today. The original article was on Yahoo today also with
But this article states it would only affect new customers right now. So I am upset over nothing. I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge. I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me. It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc. It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.
well it added up for me,
characters divided by 65 -- they DO count spaces.
plus i just rec'd the unexpected check for 'errors' of over $400, yeehah!! and another letter explaining the new 'pay plan' which includes another week off for FT'ers, pay based upon experience, etc. MQ, like i've said before, is always improving, i love this company!! i just hope they continue to be who they are and not ever sell out!!

Thanks for your Feedback.

Should have added.
new platform, even after 3 months typing about 300 lines less per day. Plus they might be doing away with incentive pay, so seeing what is "out there." The insurance coverage also got so much worse with 3,000.00 deductible, no meds covered, etc., which is a huge benefit loss. Will probably stay there, but seeing what other companies offer for a good overall pay/benefit package.
Oh I also added more RAM
I also added more RAM and it made not one whit of difference

ADDED: She knows she's likely to lose some accounts due to poor quality but figures she'll worry about that later. I think it's a horrendous way to run a business, but nevertheless, it's exactly the way it's being done.
Also, I should have added that if your
facility goes by BOS, a copy of that is also an excellent idea. BOS2 is what is most commonly used, however there is a BOS3 out now. I would not purchase these, however, until I had a job and was told that I needed them as they can be quite expensive and not everyone has flipped over to BOS3. There are many things in these books on style, how to type certain things in reports (not always logical), etc.
Have you added in the other benefits
The company has great benefits that can add up to several thousand a year. Paid downtime. Paid holidays. Vacation/PTO starting the first year. No equipment rental fee. Big discount on word books. Rental library for medical education. Reimbursement for continuing education. Decent insurance. Might make a difference.

Added" rather pay to have it done right the first time.
:P
The added pay for the CMT some companies SM
pay, like mine, is on top of basic pay, so you'd even make more than yourself if you had the credential.
One more thing that can be added - (sm)
You said: 'I was informed by 48 out of 54 potential employers that the CMT Credential that I thought I earned was false, counterfeit, and not worth the paper it was printed on.'
To all thinking of obtaining AHDI's CMT test (supposedly the 'legit' certification):
THE AHDI CERTIFICATION ISN'T WORTH THE PAPER IT'S WRITTEN ON, EITHER.
How do you spell S-C-A-M ?
TL is a do nothing, worthless added layer of
management to make some people think they are more important than they really are. Most of them know jack-sh** about anything, are just company pets and get paid to be a PITA.
I have explained several times now that we have added the
Indian URL to the Google Adsense filter so that it will stop appearing, but it does take a few days for it to take effect. We have NO control over Google when a banner appears, but we can remove it though it does take time on Google's part.
Cool! Thanks. I added it to my favorites!

That is because tobacco co. added 10% more nicotine
I quit for fives years beginning in 1989. It was difficult but five years is a long time. Then, married a smoker...well, tried to quit again numerous times, going for 1-1/2 years without only to start again in 2002 and then 10 months without and starting again this past June.
I want to quit, the price is outrageous. The cough is so unappealing. And my mother just died of respiratory failure.
sry that should be c'mon, my shorthand was on and added the th. nm

He added over 200 to the counter right from the start.
It's a trick.
Hi, Lisa. Have you added macros to SM
your Expander yet for many of the common VR changes--such as for backspacing over a comma, adding a period, and capping the first word of the new sentence? How do you drop common words like, say, "she" into a sentence on the run? I hit "k" and in it goes, but I'm off scanning the next line by then and don't actually see it. Do you constantly use your program's function for jumping the cursor to the point of dictation and vice versa (assuming it has one)? This is a big speeder-upper.
And a reality that's hard for some to run into: Editing skills and talents are different than transcribing skills and talents. Reading fast and accurate becomes big. Punctuating fast on the run was always desirable, but it's more significant now as the ability to simply get the letters on paper becomes less so. Are you one of those this work suits or one it doesn't? If yes, keep working on speed. If not, move on sooner rather than later.
Glad you added that (:) to clarify. (nm)
I signed it, and added my 2 cents, as well.
