$234 this june, $120 last June. Connecticut sm

We just had major rate hike.  Can you spell r-i-p-o-f-f?


Sept 2003

I agree with you. I believe the Honolulu mtg is in Sept this yr but
cannot swear to it.

I do bet I know who will have their trips paid though--maybe employees of MW (maybe BH or BM or VP). This co is practically AAMT.

Those of us on the east coast would have to take an addition 2 days in travel each way, so there is 4 days gone right there. While the idea is nice, I am with you on the fact that if I go to Hawaii, I certainly do not want to go to sit in meetings. Of course, all you have to do is sit in 1 for the writeoff, but still, that is way too far to go, just as the trip to Australia was too far to go last year. I would have loved to have gone to either of those places though for a normal reason.

I would still go if someone were to donate the money to me in dollar bills. I remember one was so bold to ask for that for the Australia trip and that took nerve, but where there is determination, are there no bounds? Gotta love determination! I was not so inclined.

In any event, AAMT lost me and probably will lose all their practitioners who have been around awhile. Let the new blood have them. They can pull the wool over their eyes. I have had it with AAMT. No more.
The new Grey's won't start until Sept.

Sept 5 - have a calm August up ahead - sm
the last 2 months have been nuts with Dr. appts (eye, dentist, oncologist, regular checkups); only have 2 scheduled this month, yeah, and only 1 weekend trip. Try to do some local stuff in the remaining month we have though if we don't fry first. Hit 100 today here in VA (NE of Richmond); it's 99 now and 5:30 p.m. NUTS!!!
Yes, Sept. 7 will not be here fast enough - kids are getting more hyper as each day passes! - nm

Thank you for this info!! Texas has passed law to be effective sept. 1, 2006!!!! nm

Rates have simply gone up. We've spent over 500 since Sept. on propane.

I quit once for 3 years, but then started again. (Quit cold turkey when I did)


I quit two months ago. I tried to quit for over a year, but I just had to be ready.
I tried the patch, NRT gum, Zyban, everything. One morning, I woke up and just quit cold turkey. There are some good online support groups out there that can help you when you're ready.
ALSO IF THEY WERE GOING TO QUIT SE, THEY WOULD QUIT ADVERTISING TO HIRE SE
And I have seen a new ad in the magazine Advance that has a sign on bonus for SE's, maybe just better pay, let's think positive!!
20K as of the end of June ... sm
I work for a national. And, I have more than enough time for life outside of work.
Try 575.98 and this is for June :(

as of June, I'm at 47,000 and that was with one month off!

Don't know but don't go the first week in June.
Bush is planning to test some nukes and will be creating a mushroom cloud over Vegas.
June bugs
Awwww, I miss June bugs, and just hearing about them makes me wish I was back in Missouri, which is where I grew up and we saw lots of them!
June bugs
My husband's uncle used to eat them.
Just turned 29 in June..nm

June to October? More in fall

Congrats! 22 years for me on June 25. nm

To get rid of june bugs you need to get rid of grubs. You can
use Milky Spore but it is expensive and can take up to 3 years.   You can put products on the lawn for grub control and that will eliminate the June bugs.  
go away Kikki aka Melanie aka June (nm)

June was $105 w/o the AC on-- drip pan was rusted out - sm
and needed replacing, unfortunately they could not just get that part for some reason, and had to get the coils to....$645 later, it is fixed as of Friday (we went a month not using it since if we did have it on it would drip into the furnace and rust out the parts there, and have a river run across the garage soaking things too). So normally in the summer the electric runs from $120-$160 with the A/C on. I think we will try to use it less. We have made it this far w/o and it has been around 90-95 every day, with very high humidity (yuck). Electric actually jumped from $90 to $105 since we have fans running non-stop, still cheaper than running the A/C though. Have had a few cooler days now (80s) and cool nights (60s) so that has helped a lot.
Moving to Hawaii in June!
I will be working from 4 am til about 10 or 11 and then going to have the rest of the day to enjoy the sun and surf! Lived there before and loved it and can't wait to get back.
It was already published in June 2008. nm

I know the Club Med there will not be open until June 2006, if that is of any help. sm

No doubt a travel agent could give you an idea of how things are.  If it was me, I think I'd wait a bit.  They were hit pretty hard, and there is a lot of cleanup, I'm sure.


Wherever you go, have some sun in the fun for me! 


I just found the best spray for June bugs sm
and spiders, ants and those yukky black and yellow bees that go in the ground. I have June bugs something awful this year, hundreds banging around my house. And those bees were so bad last year I couldn't get in the garden, they had invaded everything and got in the house as well. I talked to a farmer who used this stuff called Suspend. He said it really worked but it was expensive.  I found some on the web and mixed a couple gallons and went around the foundation, under the decks and sprayed a bunch in every bee hole I could find and wow, it's like magic. I haven't seen one bee scouting around the holes, no ants in the house anymore or in the gardens and not one spider. We get those big wolf spiders and I found 4 dead ones in the alley. It's great. It's $40.00 for a bottle (I think its a pint) and it makes around 11 gallons. I bought it at http://www.doyourownpestcontrol.com.  No, I am not a distributor nor do I make any money off referrals. Just recommending something I finally found has worked.
$256.00 for June electric bill in Calif.

Am curious if anyone's else is outrageously high.  Mine typically is $150-200 for summer months. 


I keep temp at 82 during day, 78 at night.  Temperatures here soar to 95-100 though.  But, I live alone and have gas hot water, gas stove.


Working at home has its pluses and minuses!  Leaving the air off for 8-10 hours a day while I was at the hospital working saved me a lot of cash in this utility bills.


 


 


my bill in central California for June was $392,
last month was $299. If this year is anything like last year, July will be $500 and August $600. I keep it at 78 to 80 all day.
Ask if you can come off. Since June is way long enough especially when you're familiar with the
s
Try this....I found it in the Jobs board, but it is from June.

I am a medical Transcriptionist who has over 15 years of experience and also have taught medical transcription and provided quality evaluations for graduating students at the college level. I am in the process of revamping my medical transcription business and have a spot for two either graduates or soon to be graduates to intern.

The internship will be paid at a starting rate of 0.06 cpl (65 char with spaces) while in training and then will go to 0.07 cpl. This is an wonderful opportunity to gain much needed experience as well as allowing you the opportunity to work from home.

Just reply by email if you are interested and tell me a bit about yourself for consideration. You will need a USB foot pedal and either cable or DSL. Also need to have a medical spellchecker and a willingness to learn and retain.

Please specify hours (times) and days available in your response.

Good luck to you.



Consumer Reports June 2005 covers this.....sm
type of information if you'll go to your local library they usually have a copy available there.   Happy researching! 
It's no more 6/6/6 than june 6 1996 was. Nobody otherwise calls the year only by the last digit.

No you wouldn't. You wouldn't like being required to work 7 days per week, mandatory, just like a sweat shop. Of course YOU can make huge amounts of money too if you work 18 hour days.
Of course, I should add that the previous pay was MQ and after the changes that

I have an HP...my previous one was also
an HP and I loved it. My main problem is getting sound to record. I have found that most of my programs work well with Vista. I did speak to HP today and they told me to uninstall sound card and reinstall but I have not tried it yet. They said if it did not work I would have to send it in :(
not this job, but previous one did.

Who was your previous employer? I'm more
interested in making "insane amounts of money" than if an employer is nice to me. That's my personal preference.

Mind telling me who your previous was?

Thx.
Given her previous behavior
she would probably accuse you of molesting her if you did try to hug her.
My previous HIM director was sm
a true psychowitch.  One day nice as pie and would give you the world. The next day, a bug would bite her and you would spend the next two weeks on all the garbage reports, worst ESL's.  I got out. She liked me but didn't like the fact that I didn't suck up or tattle.  She hid in a meeting on my last day of work.  I went on call but got so busy with my new job that I wasn't able to come in three times when she called so she fired me. How's that for being a witch. She had one other gal on call for a year that didn't come in when she was called and as far as I know, she is still on call. Go figure.
previous posts
I did read all the previous posts, as you indicated. You did give a lot of information. I will let you know in a week or two what I think.

No the previous poster, but I have one...
I like this one. Not sure if you have it or not. The nice thing is that it covers all the states and you can do a sound a like search as well. If you don't find what you are looking for in the AMA results you can just click below the results on "View Non Members" and that will take you to another listing of physicians. I love this site.

Previous DQS uster
That would depend on the new program.  I went from DQS last November to MedRite XL and my count plumeted from 260 an hour to about 100 an hour the first few weeks, but keep in mind I was learning three new accounts at the time.  Right now I am at about 220 lines per hour unless I get five 10-minute ESL docs in a row.  Just a very cumbersome program. 
see previous message above
"Pled" is an American term. The correct word is actually "pleaded."

Just went back to previous

job at a doctors practice for a lunch with past co-workers and friends... after that I'm always glad that I left for transcribing at home.  Love alot the people I worked with and even my bosses but hated the rest of the crap that goes with an office, every day a new crisis, etc.  When I'm feeling down about transcribing and all the junk that can get you bogged down at home, I just need to make a visit back to the old job site and it makes me realize how lucky I am... not that there aren't things that could be better in the MT at home world, but it sure beats what I would have still been doing if I didn't make the move home.  Just wish I could bring a few of my friends with me, but I was the only Transcriptionist in that bunch.   Just trying to keep smiling!
