From one of your "friends", or even smiled at something someone said on line? Thats an evoked response, so yes of course people can get hurt by comments on here. It's happened to me too, forgive me for be human and having normal human emotions. Maybe if I lock myself away and hate the rest of the world i'll turn to stone like you to where I feel nothing at all and actually enjoy watching others feel hurt.

QA lady don't read books like Eats Shoots & Leaves, obviously
this is a great read for those of us who are "Punctuation Sticklers"!
Ask QA if she if anal- retentive is spelled with a hyphen! (This is the true test of a QA person).
"mean lady, ice lady, flaming monsters"
watch others feel hurt? from my computer? locked away? huh? you have clearly let your imagination run away with any powers of logic you may have had. sad.
Naaaaaaasty lady. Bad lady. Pooh.

You get paid for every line you read
and the corections you make. If there is only 1 correction to be made and the report has 100 lines, you get paid for 100 lines, according to the cpl agreed.
The number of corrections depend on a lot of things:
sound quality
VR software
platform
dictator
etc...
sorry, that first line should read AFTER a knee replacement. nm

I am paid fror QA by the line, I'm old and READ MORE
I used carbon paper and selectric and learned on a manual typewriter, but so what! What does that have to do with the fact that some MTs are rushing through their work and leaving it for QA to finish. QA is to check for quality, errors and blanks that an MT cannot get AFTER TRYING. Period. Now why is everyone getting so upset about that? If you are a lousy producer then don't get mad at QA LADY or me. We don't have time and it's not fair to us since we are paid by the line.
Just read whole thread. Yes. Working for a service is okay because line rates
actually have gone down. Just make sure they pay for spaces, headers, footers.
oops! Part of my subject line did not copy. Should read:
OP posted ... etc. etc. as above.

I just re-read his email and he said he paid 9 cpl per 55-char line! Must be offshore. sm
I'm going to bring up the offshore issue with him and HIPPA issue as well. My OB/GYN just switched over to that practice to do just GYN and specialize in urological gyn, so they have my records too and I sure don't want them overseas. Even if they don't want to hire me, that's fine and I'm not going to sales pitch him at all, but I don't want my records outsourced.
A gross line is anything on a line is a line. A line set at 65 characters means it sm
has 1-inch margins on each side. The maximum number of characters on that line would be 65 and that includes spaces. If there is 1 character on that line it is a line.
A standard 65-character line usually consists of 65 characters with spaces unless, of course, the employer does not pay for spaces and then it would be 65-characters without spaces.
Anything on the line makes up a line even if just one letter or number. Every line of print is a
s
Gross line = each line on page counts as a line, even if it's only 1 word. nm

In 12 years of MT'ing I've never re-read an entire chart. Edit/read as I type. nm

Yes, I read your post, and I just re-read it, and I've copied and pasted for you in case
you've forgotten your own words! Your post above is 100% different "flavor" to it, now all positive and cheery! Your first post was 100% doom and gloom every which way, including "raining on your parade", and "if you want to go forward"...God, sounds like she's talking about jumping into oncoming traffic! Here is your quote:
My first boss (the one who hired me as a new grad) gave me some words of wisdom that I haven't forgotten. She said that transcribing at home with small children NEVER works under any circumstance. Either the work will suffer or the parenting will suffer.
****
How can the word "NEVER" in caps be interpreted in any positive way? You took about 8 paragraphs to cover every aspect and completely dash this poor woman's dream. I'm not blind, I'm not talking about day care at all, I'm talking about the total negativity of your original post! You know exactly what I'm talking about, cause you added some sugar to your second version! And that's much nicer than the first!
Gross line means anything on a line is counted as a line.
You can get an idea in the difference using documents you have already created, assuming you're working in Word. Simply open a document and check the properties. Click on the statistics tab and you will see the number of lines as well as characters with and without spaces. If you're currently getting paid by the line and a line is 65-characters with spaces, do the math and see how that number of lines compares with the number of lines in your stats.
One thing to keep in mind: if you have a blank line between paragraphs, instead of hitting the enter key twice, format your document to give the appearance of blank lines between paragraphs.
oil of old lady!
That's what my husband calls Oil of Olay, but what does he know. I'll be 50 this year (and proud of it) and everyone says I look great for my age.
QA Lady
So obviously you were never a newbie? You came out of MT school the "perfect" MT. I have nearly 3 years experience and there are still things I look up. One thing about MT work is that is it forever changing. Not to mention the QA that faults me for things that are considered correct according to the Book Of Style. Just because an MT is new does not imply that she cannot do the job.
Hey QA lady. You were all over the
GAB board yesterday and now you are on the MAIN board telling us once again how wonderful you are and how superior you are to the rest of us. GET OVER YOURSELF. You keep telling us how awful MTs are, so QUIT and you won't have to deal with it anymore. I would hate to have you as my QA person. I think we all have heard enough about how PERFECT YOU ARE and how worthless MTs are.
You saying that, I only wish the lady
had been here at that particular time. I was transcribing a physician who changes almost every other word, sentence, saying oh don’t put that in, change to thus and so and then says a sentence and then says delete that. I could pull my hair out when I even see his name coming in. I remember the first time I ever listened to a physician and like the person you mentioned above, knew he was speaking English and I barely knew the first word he was saying. I guess most think we sit at home just "typing" a bit and then eating chocolate chip cookies the rest of the time.
Oh I've read that site and continue to read it...sm
I agree...much motivation there. I have tried to quit numerous times in the past and did successfully quit when I was pregnant for the first time many years ago but I have never managed to summon up the strength or resolve to stay quit. Thus the "need" for a financial investment in my efforts. It somehow makes it more motivational to know that I have $$$ invested in this effort over and above the $$$ saved on cigarettes.
Who had time to read?LOL I only get a chance to read This Old House once in a while. (nm)

just an observation, but I don't believe that lady had PPD
I believe she was psychotic. It's hard to second guess a diagnosis, but as I remember she had been ill for some time; her problem was not really post-partum depression. Does anyone else remember the details of this?
I just imagine myself as a bag lady nm.

Wow! Your one busy lady! My hat goes off to you!nm

No shopping but me, but did you see the lady with the wig?
NM :)
I wonder if you have the same boss lady as me...
She is terrible. She constantly acuses me of things I am not doing and then when I call her on it, I never hear any more about it. Never an apology. I have tried to speak with her on the phone but she won't and it's always by e-mail which is so frustrating. I have been slammed so many times I can't even count any more. I just never know from day to day whether I'll have a job or not because I never know what I will be accused of next. Oh the things we put up with to make a living in this business
Ask the Fruitcake Lady. sm
Just for grins and giggles. Still LMAO.

What a nice lady you appear to be..sm
In this world of nastiness, it is refreshing to see your giving post, your willingness to help a Mom out by taking care of her child because she is not able to currently. More impressive is that you are the *mommy* but are very open-minded and have full intentions of returning said child when the Mom returns back to being Mom.
KUDOS to you!!! You will be blessed and are probably blessed today!!! What a great holiday post even though it's not holiday related!! Warmed the cockles of my heart!! 
(((hugs2u)))

Which First Lady do U admire most?
Eleanor Roosevelt for me. 
Lady Baltimore!!!!

KYMT thanks for that tip. To the lady asking SM
about the macro, when recording your macro, you use the Control F9 to make a field, but when recording the macro you have to use your right arrow button to get out of the gray highlighted field and then continue with on creating your macro. When you are executing your macro, you would use the F11 button to move from field to field. This is essentially what KYMT posted, but her tip is so much easier!
Just wondering if there is a way to somehow "program" the autotext entry so that it takes you to the first field in the report after using the enter or F3 button?
Are you the same QAdragon lady I had
because before quitting the last job my dear QA had the nerve to get her fingers moving too fast on her instant messaging and sent me a message meaning it to go to another QA person and darn if she wasn’t talking about me! That was the last straw and I quit that very second. You 2 might be the same one?
GOOD! QA LADY, YOU ARE SO RIGHT NM

lol Lady, I am not jealous! She, however, has
I still think her BA is in BS! LOL
The problem with the lady you cited
was that she was NOT taking her meds. She had been doing well but her husband wanted to breed again, so she went off the meds and stayed off after the birth because, if I recall, she was nursing, and no one seemed to care whether she spiraled into ever-worsening depression or not, least of all her oblivious husband.
Dear Dork Lady - sm
Accidents are life's learning experiences... as awful as some outcomes are, that is just the way it is. It is the reality of what our "Higher Power" allows to happen in our life. When this type of tragedy happens, it is SO most likely just an accident... NOT ANYONE's FAULT. If you shielded your children to the point that you didn't allow mistakes or accidents (even accidents that never injured), you are taking away learning experience, character building, and their ability to be sure of themselves in their own decision-making process when they are grown. I agree with the other poster's replies - you need a shrink and much therapy and some good medication to control your schizophrenia would be very beneficial I'm sure... Seek Help, if not for others, do it for yourself because you are WARPED!!!
you can do what I did to one lady - and flew to the state - sm
to collect the money. Boy, was she ever surprised when I literally ran into her at a restaurant. I had been trying to get to her office, but I went out to dinner the night I arrived and low and behold, there she was in the restaurant. Needless to say, her jaw dropped when I told her who I was and that I would be staying in town to file a small courts claim, along with filing a police report. I got my money! She has since closed up shop.
I know that not everyone can do this, nor would they, but I needed to make my point with this woman!
Oh, Ice Lady! Now I have to answer to you? Fine!
There are so many flames on this board, and, yes, many women get hurt enough to cry. I have corresponded personally with many MTs after they have gotten flame broiled for no reason at all - in particular, newbies with some innocent question about the industry, or people looking to get into the MT world, who post an innocent post asking about "how" to get into the industry, and they are flame broiled to a crisp. I give them my personal email and have made some great new friends that way. Yes, they have cried. This board in particular is a DISGRACE regarding flaming newbies and MT wannabes. If you aren't aware of it, then either: a. you rarely hang here (which I'm sure with your attitude will be your response, or
b. you're one of the flaming monsters who love to flame innocent posters.
Yes, people cry - not all - but I'm glad at least some still have the emoticon, oh excuse me - emotion left to do it.
And all you "closet" passive/aggressive people who feel its fine to bash on the internet - you're wrong. And all the folks with an ounce of integrity know it. So, flame away!
You are not going to win. You got the Argument Lady. She gets off on this stuff and you

I absolutely have a cleaning lady - sm
about $65 bucks every two weeks, she does all the hardwood floors throughout my house, bathrooms from top to bottom (with bleach), dusts and vacuums. All the "big" stuff that I never do since I'd rather work and make money than clean my house.
I dont believe a word you are saying lady.
:
You're a smart lady.
I need to wise up!
Lady you are full of it. Amherst, tell me another one.

"Ethical" pay for my cleaning lady...sm
I write her a check each and every month to her business name. She does her OWN accounting and pays her own taxes and things on earnings and such. As she is not my personal employee, my accountant has advised me that it is the same thing as paying our lawn service yearly, which means I do NOT need fill out a 1099 for her as I don't do it for TruGreen/ChemLawn or any other service provider for our home when we need it. I do not pay her cash and I hope this ends this discussion. She used to work at a local firm for $6.25 an hour before starting her own business (yes she is American). I pay her what she bills me for as well as Holiday bonuses (yes in cash as it is a gift not a fee) and I also pay her 4 times per year and give her the day off - we go to lunch instead and I foot the bill. It saddens me to see this discussion go so far downhill regarding pay, tax evasion, etc. I am thankful she does what she does for our family and she is thankful there are people like me who employ her to do what she loves to do. Have a great weekend ladies (and gents)! I'm glad I got a chance to look through here and set the record straight.
how did the MIL get to "know" this lady in the first place? sm
I would be furious and do like the other poster suggested; no more to do with her period. what is worse is if she is talking to her daily, wonder what she is saying about you and your family and telling this lady.
My Wal-Mart does this too. I just look at the lady and smile.
Once I was stopped and she rummaged through bags saying that I had set off a trigger of some kind. It caught my by surprise. Yes, it is offensive.
That was supposed to be 4 ft 11 inches lady (nm)

Hey this lady didn't ask you to insult sm
her. She asked if anybody had anything that would help her. Obviously she does not agree with what her niece has done, but the crack you made was totally uncalled for. Why can't you have a little compassion for this lady. She just wants some friendly advice, not nastiness. Have a heart will ya?
Had a 108-year-old lady while LPN in nursing
home.
