re your calm down statement...sm

 Awful presumptive of you to assume I was not calm...just due to a few extra question marks? As an American, I think it's safe to say that plenty here would kill first and ask questions later......I'm not that way.
I happen to be very calm and very rational.....

Oh Calm Down Already!
Of course it's not a difficult field to get into, but dear it takes more than skills. Like nursing, it takes formal training! When are you willy nillys going to learn that? And a flying monkey? A flying monkey could become a nurse and a doctor and an attorney "with a little training." Ha.
Don't Get Mad, Get Calm
This girl is a wacko and you should just act like she is not even alive. Yes, that's what I said, act like she is not even alive. She is beyond wacked and from your comments (assuming they are all true) there is nothing anyone can say to make any relationship with her approach anything near normalcy, and in fact it will approach the nightmare category. So to jumpstart your "hindsight" intuition (hmmmm, here's what I should have done in the beginning with this broad!), just ignore her. She won't go away, but you do not need to interact with her. Don't apologize, don't justify, don't explain yourself away (onto their deaf ears). Like I said, she is just plain wacked in the head.
Calm down
If your husband told you about it, he is not hiding anything. He could have not told you if you don't ever see the phone bill or his cell phone. If you get so upset he will being to hide things. It is not your place to call this woman, should you run into her you could say something but again you don't know the entire story. Though it does sound a little questionable, perhaps there was a legitimate reason she was calling your husband's friend. If you jump in too soon without all the facts you could turn out to be the fool. You have to keep the communication open betwen you and your husband and don't jump down his throat. Now don't think that I am one of those that just takes anything and everything from a husband as my husband was cheating, I caught him and divorced him but I don't think that this is the situation here and you cannot control the issue and calling this lady will only add flames as it is none of your business. But your husband also has to step aside and tell the two of them that if they are going to involve themselves in an affair, he will have no part of it by lying for his friend or covering for him. But again, he told you about it when he did not have to and that speaks for itself but if you continue to react like this he won't. You know what ASSUME means. Take a deep breath and go on with life.
Calm down.
The time to refuse a job is before you accept it, not afterward. If you accept the work in the morning, the company has every right to expect it will be done. If you have another account that pays more then come along and want your service, that in no way relieves you of your first obligation, that being the work you took in the morning.
The person who seems to have nerve is the person who thinks that can accept work and then not complete it.
Here's an example that has nothing to do with MT but will illustrate the point just the same. You hire a painter to paint your living and he says yes, I'll be there on Monday morning. You make the accommodations necessary, expecting him to come and paint on Monday. He shows up, opens the paint can and starts to work. His cell phone rings around 10:00 and he's offered a job that pays more than you. According to your line of thinking, he's perfectly justified in leaving your job unfinished to work for someone else who pays more. When do you get your job finished? Does it ever get finished? Are you happy with the reason given? Are you likely to hire them again?
So, if anybody in this discussion has "nerve", it would be you. Until you're the employer, don't pretend to know what you're talking about.
Calm down my dear
Now don't be getting yourself so worked up you smear that beautiful red lipstick off your lips.
Actually, I am perfectly calm as well, but
people on this board seem rude and ready to jump on anyone for anything.... no wonder I rarely come here.
Easy now, calm down, it
was just an observation.
You need to chilll out and calm down -sm
you are being way too hard on yourself. I doubt any MT is 100% perfect 100% of the time. I know I am not. I know I am good though but that I do make mistakes sometimes. My mistakes are generally her instead of here, that is my big one, that sort of stuff. I know some slip through but I don't beat myself up about it. I proof as I type then take a quick look at the whole report when I am done, I am more thorough in my proofing with letters though. Where I work there is no QA, we direct submit to the client though at first another MT does check our work then we are cut loose to direct submit, generally a week or so at the most. If they feel we are not able to do that, you are let go, simple as that. Sounds like you are just putting too much pressure on yourself, yes you want to submit good error-free work but you have to cut yourself a little slack too. This is a hard line of work to be in if you are a perfectionist. Try to learn somehow not to be so hard on yourself, do the best that you can, maybe do a few reports then go back and check them after you get a few done, take a look at with fresh eyes if you can. Good luck.
Try to stay calm. I know the feeling. Been there
believe me. Now, what about this? If you know for sure you are getting paid on the 10th and it will cover the rent, send your landlord a postdated check for the 10th or 11th if you need the $$ to clear your account. Send it via certified mail - couple bucks to protect you - type up a nice letter explaining your situation - that you just started several new jobs and that unbeknownst to you, or without your being aware of it, your pay would not start coming in until the 10th. Be honest - and giving him the postdated check shows your intent. But write clearly in the letter that the check is postdated, that you do not have the funds available should he cash it/deposit it now, but that it will be there on the 10th, or 11th. This worked for me. It happens, and one of the major reasons I am afraid to try a new job. I did about a year ago, and it messed me up royally. For those of us who live paycheck-to-paycheck, it can be pretty dangerous to change jobs. Good luck to you. Please keep us posted. By the way, lots of folks think postdated checks are illegal. In most cases they are not, as long as you notify as above. If he tries to cash it early, you will get insufficient funds charge, etc., but that's better at this point than eviction, right? And as long as you notified him via proper letter and certified mail, he can't claim he didn't know the funds weren't there.
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!!!
Calm down now. I'm just saying the roll works out much more economically for my needs...
I double checked and it's $52 including shipping for 5016 labels (8-1/2 x 1). That's equal to 456 sheets (8-1/2 x 11) or $0.1140 per sheet. Two of your boxes (250 x 2 = 500 sheets) x $28.70 per box is $57.40. That's $0.1148 per sheet plus your time cutting each of those little notes apart. I just print off the sheet and the office separates each note without the chance of losing a little 1" paragraph somewhere before it got to the med rec dept. I have absolutely no problem with curl, as the roll core is fairly large and I use a paper towel dispenser for quick dispensing. Six of one, half dozen of another. The gal from Med Arts Press is the one I was really speaking about. Their prices are nasty. Only if you want custom colors and then I'd go to Compulabel before MAP. And BTW I wasn't trying to step on toes, just trying to help save somebody a buck. Your welcome.
Please calm down. Minor MRI findings are usually accompanied by (sm)
the message, "Correlate with clinical history." Radiologists don't know the patient' history in detail. They are often noting findings that can't be interpreted without knowing the patient. That's why radiologists will so rarely talk to patients; they aren't your doctor and aren't able to match findings with symptoms and clinical findings. I suspect, but can't know, that your MRI is perfectly normal ... FOR YOU. Let your MD mull it all over. If he/she is not certain, he'll send you to a specialist.
it was a typo. No one is disputing that exclamation is correct. calm down.
x
calm, simple, short repetitious answers
"I have to work, I'm on a schedule, I'm still working, I'm clocked in";
and....repeat.
Really - calm down. My MRI had me having lung cancer with metastases to lymph nodes sm
guess what - they were inflammatory active lymph nodes and not cancer at all. I am 40 years old, healthy, and was in shock when I got my MRI report. It really does depend on how experienced the radiologist is that is reading your study. Some really "over-read" studies, especially the new docs.
Needless to say, I went through all those emotions thinking "oh my gosh, I'm gonna die in a few months and leave my kids and my husband behind." This went on for 2 weeks until I had to have a medistinoscopy. I only had that done for my own peace of mind. I have 3 specialist radiologist look at my films and all said, it was probably just reactive inflammatory lymph nodes, but after hearing the "cancer" the first time - I just wanted them biopsied to know for sure so I can sleep at night.
Everything turned out fine - just as you will see - yours will probably turn out fine.
Many, and I mean many films are "over-read"!
Look on the brighter side of things - at least the Impression didn't say "metastatic lung cancer or liver cancer." Just slightly top-normal size liver and probably 99% of the American population are walking around with the same "normal" finding.
Just got it today. Just stopped pacing to try to calm down. Didn't work. See inside---
The cover story should be posted on their online site within a month or so for those who do not receive the printed version as well.
ADP STATEMENT...
I just received notification as well and mine was for $134.00.....just curious as to what its for!
I was a little put off by that statement...
I have a 2-1/2 year old with me during the day and my work does not suffer nor does my child...
Yes, your overall statement is true but
what is so bothersome to so many MTs is that the complaints voiced by so many are about pretty much the same thing. This in turn makes the complaints pretty much valid problems or "injustices" experienced by MTs on an industry-wide basis. It is actually a good thing to have open communication so all may hear the pros and cons of a particular MTSO or of the entire nationwide industry of MT'ing...
I do wish that some MTs could be a little more calm and positive during their negative statements and that some MTs could be a little less offensive in their posts. But again, open communication is one of the things that make a good democracy. Have a beautiful day. Mine started out terrible...got up at 1:15 AM to start transcribing so I could do some other things later in the day but of course the cable and comcast internest were down until just now, 2:50 AM. Guess I'd better hit the keyboard.  
stupid statement
That's a very stupid statement. You evidently don't work on the kinds of accounts I do. I send blanks that QA can't get, either. There are various things that affect a report and require blanks besides a dictator's accent.
how exactly is this statement not disrespectful?
you're just plain mean 
I don't know anything, but I found statement
on IPAY, but no direct deposit in my bank ??
Agree with your statement 100%...sm
I'm sure the hurricane victims will be glad to know this. This would be the exact time to come together. I wondered why we would act this way (I know there's an embargo), and my husband said that it might be because we don't trust Fidel Castro (sabatoge).
I appreciate the posts giving updates about the hurricane disaster; I cannot watch the coverage on TV anymore. I broke down this morning when the dogs were dying, and you could hear a dog wailing in the background. It's too much for anyone to bear.
I'm anxiously waiting for Best Friends to let me know if I can be a foster parent for dogs that belong to evacuees.
Thanks again!
My last statement on this subject is the following...sm
As long as there are people who are willing to take cuts in pay, whether by way of bonus or otherwise, there will be pay cuts for the worker, no matter the profession.
I stand behind my statement and there has been
documentation to support it, but this is a free country and I certainly won't condemn anyone for being a member, I just never would and would never recommend it.
I don't advocate any curriculum - I detest Abeka, but the websites I have given are a good place to start for anyone who is just feeling things out. They can ask any questions and get feedback from multiple people, explore various curriculums, buy new or used, find others in their community who homeschool, find support groups, etc. Rainbow Resource has just about everything ever created as far as curriculum, including what is commonly called boxed curriculum like Abeka or BJU where you buy every subject and the TMs, but also allows you to pick and choose. I personally write my own curriculum now, but I used various curriculums and various modalities of homeschooling over the years. There are many different forms of homeschooling too, from a principal approach to the unschooling approach and many others in between. No one curriculum or modality works for everyone and one of the many joys of homeschooling is having the freedom to use whatever works best for your family.
I am not a secular homeschooler, but there are those that are and I would want them to be able to get the support they need and not feel isolated because they don't share the same belief system that I do.
Recorded statement -- think about it before you do it
My attorney has always advised against doing a recorded statement. Sometimes it is the way that the question is asked as to how the answer comes out. Also, we all know that errors can happen in recorded statements and they are not given to you to verify and sign off on, and the tape is erased so what do you do if there is an error in it? So I would not do it again, I did and it did not help my case. Took a lot of attorney time and money to get everything cleared up and then rule in my favor. If it is a black and white of a rear end, might not be a problem, but if there is any question at all, do not do it unless you type up what you want to say and a recorded "statement to them" and do not answer their questions. Just my 2 cents worth
What I don't understand is your statement about (sm)
how his grandparents tried to raise him in the Assembly of God. It sounds as if that wasn't successful. He's just playing you for a fool, trying that "honeymoon" stuff and now wanting to convert you and your children. And you don't change your religion to save your marriage. He is the one who needs to make all of the changes.
90%? I think THAT is an inflated statement!
.
Let me revise that statement...it's still about 45, but it
can't make up it's mind now whether it wants to rain or snow. :-)
I give a statement with every.....sm
I work privately for a bunch of surgeons. I submit a STATEMENT with every job I return but I don't want to be paid off those statements. At the end of the month, I take all those statements and do a MONTHLY BILL that I DO want to get paid on.
Within 10 days, they give me the checks in the next pickup/envelope of work and I deposit only once a month. Makes for a lot less paperwork and problems and I have been doing this for 10 years.
Best of luck to you!!!
My statement was not a judgment of anyone
Just simply an observation. As for the sad state of health care cost and coverage, I agree with you. As of right now, my husband, myself, and our baby have no insurance because he just changed jobs and we won't get it until April 1. So why is it cheaper for me to go to the ER with the sniffles just because I have no health insurance? I'm still going to get a bill from them!
Medicaid is a different story. And my post had nothing to do with the indigent or health insurance challenged. And again, no judgment stated or implied.
With a statement like that, hope it never
It is called being black-balled or pushed out because you know too much and do not put up with the crapola that goes on at the office.
In reply to the IC statement given...
Well, that is okay if they don't really care when it comes to being an IC and not following the rules. Let them find someone else, because when you contact the IRS with the evidence that they have been making you work a set schedule like an employee and make you pay taxes as an IC and let them know, the employer will be paying quite well for it.
I take issue with a statement here. sm
"MTSOs know which schools turn out graduates that are ready to hit the ground running..." I think the important point is that MTSOs can't run around the country checking on the program at every college or technical school. Some of these schools turn out excellent students. Unfortunately, since their names aren't known in the industry, no one will give their graduates a chance. I am not an AAMT supporter, but at least the schools they promote have been checked and the MTSO can be sure of getting good employees.
It doesn't really matter if your education is as good as someone else's. When you are only a name applying for a job, never even see your employer face to face, you must have some edge to get you in the door. That is the only thing an MTSO has to choose from.
You can still make it if you don't graduate from the "right school." But it is so much harder, many won't. They may have as much knowledge as anyone else, but often it is just luck that they ever get a start, usually at a local facility. Something to remember when you are shopping for schools.
Disagree with that statement
Meds and therapy are ONE way to deal with depression, but not the ONLY way. Changing your habits is a way (deliberately sitting alone in the dark would depress anyone). Sometimes getting one's financial problems under control takes a huge bite out of depression (its normal to be depressed about bad finances, just as normal as feeling pain when you stub your toe). Talking to other people and getting your problems in perspective is another. Staying very physically busy until you don't have time to focus on your mood would be another - a daily work out can lift a person's mood and become something positive to look forward to. Meds and therapy can be helpful, but if this person doesn't want to go that route, telling them its the ONLY way will only make them feel doomed. There is no only way, there are many ways. I say, try one of the many good suggestions here each day until one of them feels right.
Yes. Ask your employer if they have a statement
NM
Maybe it was this statement that you made.
Maybe you need to look around if you're not doing so well.
I think you're kind of full of yourself and just had to post that you make 14 cpl and that is the entire basis for your post. A potential "helping hand" should ask questions if she planned to drop another account for you.
They can ask for a doctor's statement
stating that you are unable to serve. Be careful.
doctors statement
Sometimes it works and sometimes they just don't care. They are getting very strict.
To throw a statement out such as a
single mother just means, again, nothing more than a person working, same as a divorced mother or father but you know, you never hardly hear that term, do you? People don’t go around saying I am a married mother as they do with I am a single mother. I will say again, to me that denotes just another person in the work force, nothing more, nothing less. Seems like you went off the deep end trying to make something out of the fact that I said 1 person working is just like another. No favoritism for anyone in the work field.
Yes, I made that statement because that's how I felt after
dealing with the public all day long. I'll readily admit that I'm an introverted personality. I get exhausted after being around a lot of people and chaos, which is what my outside the home job was. That's why I chose to isolate myself then. Now, however, after working at home all day, the last thing I want to do is to be isolated in the evenings and on weekends. That's why my social life is better now than it used to be. That's all I was saying. I know there are MTs out there who work home alone all day and spend most of their free time alone, too. That's doesn't have to be the case.
MQ WEIRD IPAY PAY STATEMENT
Did anyone get a paystatement e-mail from ADP for a paycheck that we will be receiving sometime in the next few days? It is for a weird amount, under $75. I called payroll and they told me that I will be getting a letter explaining this check. Were very secretive. DOES ANYONE know ANYTHING???
IPAY statement/check
What office do you work for? Are you an employee or IC? I'm just asking cuz I'm wondering if I might get a check! Don't know what it's for, but I would take it!
How dare you make such a statement.
I beg your pardon..how dare you make such a generalization..How do you know what anyone elses work habits are? I have worked for MQ for nine years and it has been nothing but turmoil, different rules for each regional office, pay cuts, platform changes, new CEOs every few months, rumors about selling the company left and right. In July the SEs were told they were needed and the company was going to make the best job for SEs because they valued us..Now in January, there will be no more SEs and if you do not apply, just like a newbie, to be evaluated, just like a newbie, you will no longer have a job. Please, I am most certainly not lazy, I have worked two full time jobs since 1997. How dare you!
You could always decline the recorded statement and
send them a written statement instead.
I agree with above, Laura's statement
I believe Edix at one time allowed their employees to stop early if they achieved their required line counts for the day. At least that is what I was told. It depends on the company. It's kind of crazy mentality to think you're "stealing" from the company if they require you to be on for 8 hours after you've achieved maximum lines for the day only to find out after the 6th hour there is no work available at all on any accounts! Stealing?? NOT!
Ask the provider for an itemized statement of all
transactions since you started treatment. Then audit it and figure out where they made their mistake. Then call or visit their business/billing office and CALMLY discuss your findings. If they agree that you do not owe more, ask for a statement showing the adjustment and a zero balance. Then write a letter documenting the conversation.
Good Luck!
I give a statement w/every job returned..sm
I only want to be paid once a month from every office, less paperwork. I submit a statement (not to be paid) with every job returned during the week(s) and bill out those statements once monthly the very last day of the month. I have NEVER been paid late by any office, and I get paid within 15 days of the monthly bill submitted. And if I were to be paid late and I wanted to keep the account(s), I would NOT charge them a late fee. Stuff happens. (I remember one office being late due to the fact the office was ROBBED of a lot of $$.)
HTH (hope that helps).
and I disagree with your statement. It's all in the fingers.
"Client would understand." That statement says
s
Another clueless statement made.
There are LOTS of MTs out that there will say ANYTHING and promise ANYTHING until the time comes to get the work done.
References are generally used for employee situations and the company will only be given information on people who will give a favorable reference.
In business, the customer comes first. Any IC worth anything will understand that and make sure that their customer (the company) is happy; otherwise, they won't have customers.
Silly you.
