Your president Bush, whom you *sound* like you voted for...is most definitely responsible for fulfilling his family's nearly 30-year pact with the Saudi's at ALL AMERICAN WORKERS expense. They had a deal from nearly 30 years ago and now the Bush dynasty is paying them (the Saudi's) back by selling ALL OF US OUT, including our PORTS!!! He has jeopardized ALL OF US due to his NEED/WANT for global acceptance of HIM.
If you cannot *see* this - time for you to get some serious help.

Millions others wish Bush would be outsourced too, as evidenced by the poll. Bush = 1st Class moron
No, just what he's responsible for
Oh, but you/we ARE responsible ... sm
Whose name/id number goes at the bottom of a report, the MT or QA? In my company, we do have access to viewing past reports, but only that. We do not have access to the sound file on that report; QA does. We cannot change anything on an uploaded report (before it is signed by the dictator); the QA can. I have looked up past reports I have done for the purpose of reference, maybe, a medication or a doc's name. I have seen things changed around which I know I did not put in there, which I know is not correct and against the acct. specifics for that account, but its MY id # beside the doc's signature line, not the QAs.
The responsible thing to do...
if you believe in the bad seed (which I do, but not in this case, sounds like abuse/neglect to me) is to place the child in a home for troubled children where she can be treated and kept away from innocent people who she might hurt. Some of these kids can become homicidal. I've heard of people waking up to a 6-year-old standing over their bed with a knife, stuff like that. You can't as a parent just send her back to her mother just to get her out of your hair. If she's that dysfunctional, she needs to be in a residential facility where she can either receive help or be monitored. Sounds like her mother will only contribute to the problem.
I was responsible for BC for years. After having #2 I was
unable to take BCP and refused to use other methods, which left him in charge. He didn't like his main option so opted for the vasectomy. It was $350, a 45 minute procedure done in the doctor's office, a day of pain and a couple more of discomfort, but he never missed a day of work or had any issues afterwards. The weird thing is that our insurance would not pay for it, but willing to pay 3 times that for me to have my tubes tied.
This is very true. They are not responsible
I know it sounds harsh. Late checks and no checks at all are two different stories. I've learned the hard way with direct deposit as well. This is not a sure thing either. Sometimes due to holidays or weekend days, it can go in late.
MTs have been responsible for their own DEMISE. (sm)
By allowing people to do piecemeal transcription at below livable wages, and them thinking it is a GOOD tradeoff -- it has diluted our profession down to nothing livable.
When it was considered a livelihood and it was something we did to have as a job, we were paid decently.
We were taken seriously. It was a skill that had respect.
MTs are just a bunch of women working from home (out of sight out of mind), somebody to be ridiculed, with nobody out there representing us to legitimize us. When we worked in offices and hospitals we were THERE - we were REAL - they had to deal with us. Now we are a mirage, they can talk bad about us and have no repercussion. We are not there to defend ourselves. You yourselves know how much easier it is to talk about somebody who isn't there than it is to talk about them to their face or to talk about your friend.
When so many are allowed to just drop in an hour or two a day for spending money, with a second person picking up the overhead expenses (living with hubby, etc) - it messes it up for this ever being able to demand a REALISTIC pay for the skill.
Just a reminder of why we have to accept things like 6.5 cents a line as an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.
Do you think my son with his PhD and who acts as a consultant has to take a reduction in his fee because he works out of his home. HECK NO! A skill is a skill. He charges and gets paid for his value, not for whether he wears blue jeans or a suit to provide his expertiese which it took him years to learn.
It took us years to get these skills -- and now we are having to give it away basically because we work in PJs and can go to the store when we want to?????  THAT'S HOGWASH, but it's exactly what is happening. Think about it the next time you are asked to provide a skill you paid dearly to learn - and you are asked to do it for less than minimum wage.
As an IC do you feel responsible...
As an IC, is it my responsibility to contact the doctors offices to notify them that I may be gone for half the day due to a personal appointment. Is this necessary? Is this something IC's do normally? I feel obligated, in case someone calls for an urgent report or something else related to a past report.  I somehow feel on the other hand, that I am my own boss, I make my own hours, so I should not have to notify them.
What is your perspective?
TIA
Keep in mind QA also is responsible sm
for 30 or 40 different accounts at a large company. I get account specifics at mine, but they change at least once a week, constant emails to us about how this facility wants this and this one wants that. I am getting hammered to produce so many jobs per hour too and 40 accounts is a little much to keep track of.
Kids might still be responsible...sm
Something has changed in your computer system to cause this to start happening. I assume you haven't added or removed any hardware, so that leaves software as the potential culprit.
Among the possibilities for such software changes are:
1. Malware (viruses, etc.).
2. Web page scripts and applets.
3. Operating system updates.
4. New installs - games and other applications.
The information you provide is insufficient to offer anything more than very general advice, but that might not matter if you can find out what's changed.
Check first to make sure that no one has installed anything on the system since before you first noticed this happening. Then, find out what everyone is doing on line that has anything to do with viewing or listening to media (internet radio, etc.), playing games or instant messaging with audio/video features, as these sometimes install their own "players" that have been known to play havoc with sound card drivers.
The best idea of all, of course, is that no one but you ever touches your work computer. You run a lot of different kinds of risks when kids (and even other adults) use your work system.
RESPONSIBLE? FEEL SORRY FOR THESE COMPANIES?
Well, aren't you just grand! Wow! You have three whole years in at your company! Boy! I have about 20 at mine - does that make me grander than you? Or at least MORE responsible?? Or fabulous? Your post makes no sense - why am I answering? Who knows! If conditions are deplorable at a new job, shall MTs stay to cover the cost of our training? Feel sorry for the poor company? That's what you are saying, and I think you are TOTALLY WRONG. I think most MTs would agree with me. An IC can't try out a job with a doctors' office to see if its a "fit"??? She'll be IRRESPONSIBLE? Talk about sounding like you're management. Is this Lee??? Since you are now calling me on my character, I can assure you that the company I was trained for totally misrepresented the job to me on hiring me. Had I known the truth, I would NEVER have accepted their offer. You are calling me irresponsible - I assure you, I am the complete opposite, though shall I debate it with you? I'm so responsible, I'm boring. But I am also learning to stand up for myself, INTERVIEW THESE COMPANIES BACK, asking everything from A-to-Z upfront (which still doesn't help), and NOT stick with a creepy new job more than a few months because it cost THEM $$ to hire/train me. What about the MTs??? So many of us lose big $$ by trying a new job. Read the posts on here daily - companies that promise to pay training pay, and then don't. Or they word it ever so cautiously, so you THINK you're gonna get paid X amount, but you don't. Or the companies like a large national who FAIL to mention that you might not get your computer set up (provided by them) and actually running for a week or two, waiting for techies to get their act together, while the poor MT sits there INCOMELESS. Or the companies who fail to mention that for the first solid 2 weeks of employ, you will be on 100% QA hold with a maximum of 5 jobs per day. Nothing based on quality or experience - no exceptions - just "the rules". Wow! I can really feed my kids on that $$! Or the account they promise will be like 50% ESLs and a "great one" turns out to be the squat account from you-no-where that NOBODY will type. Or they hire you at 9 cpl, with bennies at certain production, and you find later that NO ONE EVER meets the line counts, thus, no bennies! Which is why you took the job!! And, by the way, did you NOT read the fine print that says your cpl rate plummets if you DON'T hit 2000 lines per day? Gee, didn't the recruiter mention that??? Please. I could go on and on, and we're supposed to be RESPONSIBLE and worry about the company's costs?? Give me a break! Spend the months and months on end literally that I have interviewing, testing, and being hired by several of these companies NOW and then you'll more than understand why my attitude is not sympathetic to those who hire us. I've been told I'm the best thing since apple pie, a shining example of what an MT should be, and offered 6 cpl!! Ha! Unreal. I am responsible, and would like the same from these potential employers. I also would expect a modicum of respect from my fellow MTs, even those with "fabulous" jobs. I can assure you - fabulous jobs can disappear literally OVERNIGHT. Happened to me and about 10,000 other MTs, or rather 9,9999. Thanks for the support. If you ever hit the job market, save me email and write me. I can save you the time and effort by steering you clear of at least a dozen companies.
Responsible? No. Want/intend to? ABSOLUTELY
JMHO
Yes very spoiled but very responsible and do chores. sm
Most kids are "spoiled" in some way or another. I have two teens who do not ask for any material things. They do not care about name brand clothing or shoes, etc. They are leaders - not followers.
They keep their rooms clean, help out around the house, clean the kitchen, bathrooms, help me do the laundry. Now that school is back in - homework and school work come first. My husband and I spoil our kids on our own just because they are "good kids."
Wrong. MT wont be responsible for anything.

executor is responsible for filing the return.
As far as taxes due, no one else is responsible for those taxes - it should come out of the estate. I don't know how much money is involved, but if it is in any way significant, I would hire myself a tax attorney post haste.
however, and you didn't hear this from me...I wouldn't give Bush one more red cent.
Why is this so upsetting to you? He sounds very responsible and aware to me. sm
I don't think he is "throwing away opportunity" by quitting football, he's just venturing in another direction....his academics! I can't believe you're not happy about him WANTING to focus on his academics, which he obviously already has since he has a 4.0. He's extremely likely to get scholarships for that. I would be proud that he was mature enough to not only know himself well enough to know when something is not satisfying to him anymore, but to quit it in a responsible way, by telling you about it, by going to his coach about it. I understand the team mentality, and the importance of being responsible to your team, etc., but you shouldn't be forced to be loyal to something you don't believe in anymore, and certainly not guilted into it. Let the boy concentrate on math and physics! He can be smart for a lifetime, he can only play football for a limited number of years. Academics never gave anyone a concussion.
People like you are responsible for dumbing-down our "profession". If...sm
I were hiring and you applied, I would say get lost. As a professional, if you expect a professional's pay per line, you need to be able to transcribe ESLs, period. Suck it up and learn to understand.
We are not involved in "patient care". The dictator is responsible for that.

good luck to you!! Do something about that truck..you are responsible for any damages unless you
it taken without permission (different than stolen).
Agree wholeheartedly - have to learn to be responsible someday - hopefully already know
nm
Sounds fraudulent but the doctor who signs it is responsible.
dd
and what rock
They are the worst for stealing lines, line counter is always down, pay is whenever they feel like it, and the management is rude and hateful, not to mention demanding.
Rock On
Rock concerts are so invigorating..best one I ever went to was Springsteen in the 1980's..Santana's concerts are great, too..When I leave a rock concert, I feel invincible, connected with all the other *rockers*. Elton John, what a musical genius..My favorite songs from Elton are Crockadile Rock, Candle In the Wind and Levon..I rate him up there with John Lennon, my forever favorite..Have fun and remember..**Party Hardy**..like it was your last day on earth.
Little Rock MT
Wow. That's great. It is so nice to meet other Ark MTs.
you rock! :)
I've been wanting to know this for the longest too. Thanks for the info!
Rock On!
Midwest MT and MTinNC, you rock.
LOL @ "School of Hard Knocks." I hear you!
WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! You rock!!! nm

You rock!
Thank you so much for that link. That is going to provide a wealth of info. I appreciate it very much.
Way to go! You rock with your bad self!! nm
Bush did nothing
and Bush did nothing, nada..zilch..he was too busy vacationing at his ranch or taking half a day off each day or sleeping, LOL. I have a friend who lives in Texas and she said Bushs nickname was the half day governor, they all knew he left by noon and went to sleep by 6pm..The guy is an idiot, warmonger, war dodger..Had to get his poppy to get him out of the Vietnam War and when he was in the National Guard could not even finish that obligation, had to get his poppy to get him out and falsify the records to make it look like he was in for his whole enlistment..I just love how Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield and Rice never went to war yet they are so quick to send our sons and daughters to an immoral, illegal, wrong war..they should all be tarred and feathered..better yet, they will be impeached.
Bush said he was getting rid of IRS.sm
Keep your fingers crossed that we go to a consumption tax (flat tax). According to an IRS report a few years back during the IRS abuse hearings, they said there are more than 60 million nonfilers and delinquent taxpayers. They have to do something to change the tax system and the laws.
Not just Bush.........
The problem is we have been selling this country off little by little for decades, so I can blame Bush, Clinton, and Bush, Sr, not to mention Jimmy Carter, who would sell his mother if he thought he could be someone's buddy 'ole pal 'ole chum. We have handed over strategic info to our enemies for years, way before Bush, tried to manipulate countries to do what we wanted, turned on those countries when their leaders got too powerful, etc., etc., and we have accomplished nothing but owing other countries to the tune of trillions of dollars. We are a wasteful country and our leaders are NOT looking out for us. Our congress are wasteful people and Heaven forbid one man with a backbone, Ron Paul comes to mind, says STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT!!!!!! He has been waving red flags for years and years, but other congressman are too money greedy to do what they are suppose to do. One way to stop all the crap is stop letting them write their own paychecks....they are a public servant.. We decide their paychecks. Once they are done with public service, they go back to making whatever they can on their own, not the $285K they get yearly for the rest of their lives after leaving, not to mention the wonderful healthcare they sign themselves up for, not to mention once they die, their spouses get all that moolah for the rest of their lives with all the healthcare perks. What's wrong with this picture. This happened way before Bush. We are a country that let our public servants serve themselves and serve us up on a platter for the world to take apart bite by bite.
You rock, Judy H
Very, very wise idea!
You ladies BOTH rock!....
Jodi and ta-shi--you both have done an amazing job! My hat's off to you two! PLEASE make sure you CHANGE THE LOCKS. Once he's out of the house for, I think it's 48 hours, he can't legally come back. So don't let him muscle his way back in!!
Congrats!!
Yea! You rock, Jodi
All of these posts are SO encouraging. I would never recognize you as "bawling my eyes out" - you took the plunge and I can virtually see you getting stronger every day!! I am so happy that you found your power. I just wish you could move closer to your family. But your MT community "family" is always here for you.
We are so proud of you!!
You rock! Thanks for raising the bar! nm
Rock on MTStars
Thanks for the prize. I think it will come in handy for all those abbreviations they throw at us.
I live in Little Rock

Stedman's rock!
There are different specialties, but the Medical Speller put out by Stedman's is definitely a must-have.
Rock On Patti
Agree - they are paying for your skils to create the finished professional product. Been in that situation myself -- told them thank you for your time, but I don't think this will be a good fit for my service. It just wasn't worth my time to "negotiate" every time the billing went out, and knowing they were probably looking for other services for cheaper rate in between billings. We've been in this business long enough to accept/decline clients because we have earned our good reputation! Good luck!
Hey RockinMT you rock!
Sorry your CC experience was a dud -- Nothing like OJT -- remember that not too long ago, people learned to be lawyers and doctors by OJT, as well as many other fields such as carpentry (apprentice-type of situations) -- and they LEARNED!
ROCK STAR!
WOOT! No really, that is an OLD dream of mine. Now I think I would just like to travel the world and explore it with my hubby. I am a culture buff. <3
I would also like to continue my self-education that I work on daily. I am trying to learn about everything because I want to know everything and understand the entire universe, LOL. :)
I would also like to be able to put everything together in order to do something that gives a LOT of people joy and hope along with personal power. What that something is, I do not know.
This thread is awesome. It really gives insight as to how different we all are. I love seeing that if we all had the freedom to do what we truly wanted to do, we would not choose the same things. It also shows that we certainly would not stop being "productive" if money were not needed or earned. :)
George Bush
He is an embarrassement to this nation. He makes us all look like floundering idiots and he's the lead idiot.
I bet all the "red state" folks that voted for him are having second thoughts. He could care less. I do believe that he is slow on the response because it was not an area of well to do white people who support him but are poor hardworking mostly minority people. Take a good hard look America; this is what we are stuck with.
Did it occur to anyone that even terrorist groups are laughing at us!!!! UUGGHHH.
I'm ready for the flaming that is sure to come my way but...whatever....I can't stop crying from watching these people trying to survive in conditions that no one should be forced to endure.
George Bush
I'm not slow, just making a comparison to say....Florida last year. Granted the situation is on a much bigger scale but if you think back, most of the people were able to leave the areas hardest hit in Florida, mostly white, with transportation available.
As Katrina was coming up through the Gulf, the people left in New Orleans were the people who had no transportation, who lived in housing projects and/or were unemployed. They had no way to get out. I use the race issue because it is painfully obvious that most of the people waiting at the Superdome, on rooftops and various other locations were mostly black. There is no way to have missed that.
It is also painfully obvious that George Bush has taken a beating over this (and about time too in my opinion) and suddenly trucks, food and water are to be had. I guess he heard enough bull from enough people to finally do something to try and salvage himself politically.
Bush bashing
Administrator-- could we please have all the Bush bashing placed on the political board where it belongs????
Well, Bush DOES consider himself at the right hand of The Man...
I'm sure good ol' Bush will come out
with a lot of encouragement and more words about how "good" the economy is when he gives his state of the union.
I wonder if he has any clue at all that the "union" is falling apart right under his nose. 
What is this with Missy bush

re bush and impeachment...sm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement_to_impeach_George_W._Bush
and a couple of paragraphs from there (it's very lengthy that link but very interesting):
A March 16, 2006 poll[18] by American Research Group showed that 42% of Americans favored impeaching Bush. The same poll showed that a plurality of Americans favored the Senate censuring Bush regarding his authorization of wiretaps without court orders.[19]
An informal website poll MSNBC (April 14, 2006) asked whether there was justification to hold a formal impeachment trial, insufficient justification, nothing done wrong, or don't know. Roughly 250,000 votes were reported, 86% voting yes for impeachment. [20] (note that web polls are not scientifically conducted, and can be criticized on the grounds they may be unrepresentative of popular opinion)
George W. Bush! :) NM

Most definitely LAURA BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nm
