don't make me get out the wooden spoon
A tablespoon of greenish, frothy sputum; I picture it sitting in a spoon

sad aint it...
i think so many MTs are fed up with a lot of things goin on in this field that when they vent, its just that.
then again, like other jobs, in the medical field, there are a lot of people that use whatever knowledge they have as a weapon.
i think the average is about 40k (i hope). my main job is 38,400/y but that is with hourly pay. im a single mom so i would need to at least look for another part time, if not full time job to live.
Sorry but with an MBA under my belt and
a lovely high-rise apartment in downtown Chicago, I hardly think I'M a hick - but I love pig roasts. Wish they would have one in Milennium Park. But I guess you're just really into stereotypes, which is typical of the un-educated.
dis aint bout me
I was consistently getting 1200 lpd after transcribing for 6 months on a very difficult VA account. I think MQ'ers just like to whine. Take whining out of your vocabulary and make so $$$.
aint that a word?
I'm originally from PA and was taught very early on in school not to use aint. What does annoy me is some talk in the past tense all the time. I guess I feel that way because they add "ed" on to a lot of words. Some areas aren't as bad as others though with this.
LOL, aint that the truth!

On subject of VR, aint no way
newbies can do and neither can slow typists, that is at my place of employment. You have to be seasoned to know just as much about VR as you would regular transcription. You have to be extremely fast in reading the text because speed is money. I usually typed around 2000 or a little over straight. If making 8 cents a line for straight, that would mean I would have to edit 4000 lines with VR. I am told some in my company do that much but I don’t and have never in the several years I have worked on VR. If anyone thinks newbies would be good to do VR, then that person really does not know anything about VR and the knowledge you have to have, same as doing transcription only reading very, very fast and changing any and all that might be wrong in the report. My system is very easy to use, very user friendly. Some, I hear, are not.
She aint even bubbly...I can think of other words that fit, though...nm
What I make with 7 years under my belt -
I get 9 cents per 65-character line. I work around 5 hours a day and net around $100. It is okay money for me, but then I do not have to support myself, pay for benefits, etc.
I need a seat belt some days sm
I tend to take a break about every hour to hour and a half. I am bad, but it helps because I get stiff if I don't move often enough.
My boss suggested a seat belt last week. Yeah, there is an idea. Of an 8-hour day, I rarely manage more then 5 hours of actual typing time, but I do get my lines in. If I would sit better, I'd make more money...then I'd owe Uncle Sam more and I'd still be broke.
I'll take my breaks.
Oh and I work 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. at least that is my set hours. I am usually still lurking and working by 7 p.m. because I have to do every OP note that shows up, it is my job and they don't always get it done on time.
Aint gonna happen..if and when - sm
they do pass any laws against sending personal / medical information overseas, they'll just leave out any identifying information and instead cross-match reports with assigned numbers, much like SS# over here.
With 10 years under her belt and the distinction of one of the top teachers..you'd think she'd
 how to handle a couple parents..is she getting tired of that grade?
I'm not in the Bible Belt, o judgmental one, unless you don't know geography either. Another r
that is, if there isn't a good rerun of "I Love Lucy" on at the present time!
LOL
a twig and berries, a notch in her belt, a feather in her cap
LOL aint that the truth...did ya'll hear about the billboard after the
3 or 4 (can't remember) they had in a row? I lived in Virginia for a few years and we had Isabel head our way and it ravaged quite a bit. We went to W. Virginia and called it vacation LOL. We were without power for about 4 weeks and it is AMAZING what you can cook on a grill!!
To the poster below who equates the BIble Belt with political views
USING TWO COWS TO EXPLAIN. . .
A CHRISTIAN DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor. Then you covet it.
A SOCIALIST: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his.
A DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous. Barbra Streisand sings for you.
A REPUBLICAN: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So?
A COMMUNIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it. It is expensive and sour.
A FASCIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage which ultimately blows up the cows.
CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.
DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.
BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, then pours the milk down the drain.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one. You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. You spin an announcement to the analysts that you have reduced your expenses. Your stock goes up.
A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows. You go to lunch. Life is good.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. They learn to travel on unbelievably crowded trains. Most are at the top of their class at cow school.
A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they are all blond, drink lots of beer, give excellent quality milk, and run a hundred miles an hour. Unfortunately they also demand 13 weeks of vacation per year.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows but you don't know where they are. While ambling around, you see a beautiful woman. You break for lunch. Life is good.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You have some more vodka. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka. You produce your 10th, 5-year plan in the last 3 months. The Mafia shows up and takes over however many cows you really have.
A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge for storing them for others. If they give milk, you tell no one.
A BRAZILIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You enter into a partnership with an American corporation. Soon you have 1000 cows. You expropriate them. The American corporation goes chapter 11.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them.
:D
