to carry on a long drawn out thread on supervisor's woes below
Posted By: Why? on 2005-08-04
In Reply to:
Why in the world if it is so awful, so stressful, so thankless and pay is not that much more (someone posted $3 dollars an hour below), why do you continue to supervise? 
Also the general tone of the supervisors is kind of like they don't really like or respect the MTs. Is that healthy?

There was a thread a long time SM
ago from some people who worked through them as traveling transcriptionists...apparently K-Force had their share of pay problems, reimbursement problems, travel issues and most interestingly, they had a bunch of criminals working for them (drug/petty criminal activity). I have no idea how things are now.
It's what I was drawn to as a new MT...
and it's because I found it the easiest. Most of the pt's have similar things going on and it's easy to get familiar with the terminology and drugs, in my opinion. I still feel at home with cardiology, even though I do just about everything now and don't get it as often as I used to. It's one of the better ones to start with, in my opinion.

That happened to me once... guns drawn out in front yard..
lived in a track house, so houses were real close together. Turns out the single woman living next door who seemed to have no end to her money to buy nice stuff was running a racket out of her house, somehow tapping into computers in warehouses for big companies and having merchandise like applicances and computers sent to people without them having been paid for. FBI surrounded the place, digging in trash, etc. They finally got her and she went to federal prison for a while, then came back and skipped parole and they were back for her again. Weird.
new job woes... :(
UGH! I just started a new job with a great company. The people are wonderful. The training is great...but... I am so frustrated! I have typed for 6 years and thought I was ready to take on bigger and better challenges. At my previous job, on eScription, my production was great! I could edit about 1500 lines in 4 hours. I have not typed in years. Now, I am typing again, and it took me 8 hours to type 51 minutes of ESL op notes. My brain is fried and my body hurts. How do ladies do this? I am no where near 1000 lines for the day and I don't even know if that is doable with these docs and my fat fingers. Is it going to get easier or am I in way over my head here? What do I do? Just venting... thanks for reading.
new job woes
How long have you been on your new job and what does your new company say about productivity requirements and how long you have to meet them? Even with experience new accounts, docs and platforms take time to learn, especially the ESL's and mumblers of the world. I know where you are coming from because I constantly change accounts, and bounce back and forth from VR, editing, and straight transcription not to mention they are all on different accounts...it isn't easy so don't be too hard on yourself.
re: lawyer woes
He can in fact charge you for the phone calls (consult) about the car, but not the service he failed to perform regarding this.
As far as the car title goes, he can request in the divorce that your husband sign it over to you (possibly arguing that you paid for it, etc.), but I don't think unless a judge orders it, your ex has to even sign it over, unfortunately. In my case, the car wasn't yet paid for and was in my husband's name. He suggested that we go and get the title/loan transferred into my name if this is what we agreed on. Technically speaking, however, the loan was in his name and if he so chose, he could have taken the car. That's why I say a judge has to be the one to order the transfer should the ex refuse.
I'd definitely confront the lawyer and ask him why the charges when he failed to even act on your request. That's bull**** in my opinion. I'm quite sure he's made a good deal of money off this already. Good luck.
More Autotext woes.
So I started (or so I thought) building my Autotext back up because I LIKE using F3 and only having to remember 1 abbreviation to get 5 different expansions. My line count went down 500 lines going from having it to not having it.
BUT when I went to save it and copy it to my new file, it was the same size as when I started, and I checked the normal.dot several time while I was working and it was always the same exact size as when I started. What do y'all think is going on?
wave player woes
check your file type after you hit open on the wav player. Tell it to show you all files. Your first file may be a wav and the second a dvf or some other file type.
My Foot Pedal Woes
I am going to try that setting. Thanks much!!
Foot Pedal Woes
I had been using an IN-BMG foot pedal with an adapter while working using MT World software. Well, all of a sudden, my foot pedal would not work. The fastforward started playing garbled, and the play would not play. The fastforward would just skip to the end. I then tried to use an Infinity IN-BMG foot pedal. It too did not work. I ordered a new one thinking this one obviously had a problem. Well, the new one does not work. I have tried six different settings. The pedal is not even recognized. Can anyone please help me? I would really be thankful!! I really want to work for this company and do a good job. They are going to get tired of my problems.
My Foot Pedal Woes
I figured the pedal with the adapter is shot. What I want to know if anyone else works with MT World that has a solution. I would like to use the Infinity IN-USB pedal that I have. I don't know if it needs to be programmed or what, in order for me to use it. It will not work with MT World, but I think it can. Help, anyone!!
Foot Pedal Woes
No, it is not for Zylomed. I did work for this company for about three days, and then, I added some Escription software, and it has not worked since. I am wondering if other software is conflicting? Anyway, I really want to continue to work for this employer, as it is radiology, and I love it!! But, it doesn't look good.
Ugh More foot pedal woes. sm
Why is my curser arbitrarily jumping all over the page, especially if I have brackets in my text. I switched to the foot pedal from using hot keys in order to speed up my production, but that just ain't happening with this annoying jumping curser.
Anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it?
Anyone else in Northeast have internet woes?
All weekend the connectivity has been absolutely awful. I have Time-Warner Cable (formerly Adelphia). Anyone else having problems or is it just because I had a mental meltdown Friday and this is a sick form of retribution from the gods?

Can't carry a tune
I can NOT sing either, but after a couple of drinks I will. I refuse to go alone or duet with a guy. I have found that going up in a group helps. You can still sing, but let other people help. I used to go often, but it has been awhile. I suggest trying it just once. In a group is the safest. It really is fun.
Dog doesn't carry a gun, none of his team does. sm
His story is actually very interesting. I know he is abrasive at first adn the wife is a real piece of work, but they really do try to help the people they round up. Dog is a born-again Christian, and he tries to help the people straighten their lives out, isn't in it just for the case. In fact, his own son is in jail for 20 years because of drugs, and so he has a personal motivation for getting drug dealers off the streets. I never miss the show, I find him inspiring because he found his nitch in the world to try to work for good. Unconventional, but he really sincerely tries.
Do any of you ICs out there carry your own liability insurance if
you are working for an MTSO? I do not carry this insurance and was looking for what you all can advise me. Thanks.

Ants are drawn to water and some ants sugar/grease.
We have had professional exterminators and it didn't phase them. Get Terro. You are more likely to find it at Home Depot/Lowes than at the grocery store. I got traps this year, put them in the places where we had the biggest problem with ants and they are gone, gone, gone. You can mix sugar and borax with water to dissolve it and then soak cotton balls in it and place around too. I haven't tried this, though lots of people I know have said it works.
We had ivy growing up one side of our house and the exterminator told us to get rid of it and that would help, we did and it didn't.
it's not about "quality of trailers" it's about quality of people drawn to trailers.
a trailer on a private lot is one thing. a trailer park is terrible. lots of communities zone against them.
That is just because it is the first posting, and the first company ad. Carry on down the list.

Do Office Max or Staples carry the ones you mentioned?
Those are the only two office stores we have within an hour drive of me. Which models in particular would you recommend??? I do need to keep the price down, whether I buy them or the doctor's office does.
I do appreciate your feedback. :)
Carry mace or pepper spray for this. (nt)
The reason I don't tip is because I NEVER have a dime on me. I don't carry cash, ever! I don&#
debit card and it's been like that for 4 years. I use a check or credit card for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
You shouldn't have to carry dead weight.
Give her a clear outline of your expectations and say do this or I will have no choice but to find someone who will.
I guess Healthfood stores would carry these items.

Headers and Footers can carry on to the rest of the pages.

I do not carry E&O insurance, but I do have my equipment covered under my HO policy.
My office is in my home and, God forbid, there should be a fire, I'd be out of business. I have coverage for my computer, printer, fax, phones and loss of use on a separate rider. Also, should anyone injury themselves coming or going from my office while doing business with me, their injuries are covered. Perhaps this is the information you're looking for.
I carry my laptop in a case with a shoulder strap and...sm
put my keyboard and foot pedal in my rolling luggage. it has worked fine so far. I will say that the next upgrade for me will be a much lighter weight smaller laptop.
Some of the craft stores like Michael's carry them in funky colors, too. nm

I carry my mail in, sort it immediately, and put the junk in the trash.

Google search shows TigerDirect and belkin.com both carry this. nm

I hate Instant Text. It is expensive, long long learning
curve, and too much distraction for me.
How long should I wait after applying for a position before I follow-up. It has been as long as two
without hearing from some. Just wondering if I should send an e-mail to follow-up to see if they received my resume or not. I don't want to offend anyone but feel two weeks should be long enough for someone to at least acknowledge my resume and that I have applied for a position. Right now I would accept anything even a note saying no thanks. Any advice would be appreciated. I haven't had to apply for a job for the past 10 years so I am a bit rusty at this. Thanks again for any advice.
