xmas
a p/t hospital job with benefits! xoxo
Yes, since Xmas and still have it. sm
It just won't go away. I take DayQuil and it really does get me through the day. I went 2 days without it and felt just terrible. Now, I take it 2x a day and feel better, but it still is lingering on and on.
Try DayQuil Non Drowsy! It works.
Was a Xmas gift so not sure where they got it....sm
I would image any office supply store or back speciality store in your area would have them.
ME TOO! $500.00 in tips this Xmas from 64 customers. :)
Good exercise too! 
Xmas parties where the Prez gets silly,
company-covered bar tabs, having someone come and listen to your blanks, staff meetings, being able to look someone in the eye, your supervisor inviting everyone over to her house for brunch on Sunday. Having the choice whether to work in the office or work at home. 
The downside? The typical problems working with a bunch of women. Then there was the fact that I was not a social butterfly and didn't like the endless requests for money to fund birthday, wedding, baby, sick, divorced, married parties, Tupperware, Chef this, Southern that yadda yadda yadda fests. The lunch you were so looking forward to no longer being the in fridge, but the wrapping is in the trash. A favorite reference book being found on someone else's desk at the other end of the hall. And she smokes. Ergo, your book now smells to high heaven because she sneaks her smokes in the office during her late night shift, and her nasty, smelly fingers have been all over it (only a nonsmoker will understand how awful this).  And she claims she doesn't know HOW the book got there when you ask.
Would I do it all again? In a heartbeat.
We have to work alternating T'giving, Xmas, and New Years. sm
Other holidays, Mem Day, Lab Day, 07/04, don't seem to have scheduling issues so they don't dictate which of those, but we have to work 3 of 6 holidays per year.
This year I took off July 4th, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving, and work Memorial Day, Xmas, and New Years. Next year I'll work T'giving but have Xmas adn New Year's off, and the other 3 I haven't decided yet. And, we have to choose all of this in February, which is difficult.
4th of July
My mother-in-law and sister-in-law are coming for a few days. I'll be entertaining all weekend. Then, Tuesday is my B-day! I'm off until Wednesday.
July 5th

This is ONLY because of 4th of July holiday...sm
and not unheard of in the industry. You really should call your acct mgr and ask for a secondary acct. My acct mgr has been VERY accommodating. Before long all accts will be booming again, as mine has picked up today.
I think the worse are USUALLY after July - SM
Of course that doesn't mean there won't be any but they are usually more and rougher ones after it's been hotter for longer, etc. One more thing you could think about is what we did - book one on the GA beach or South Carolinas - it always seems like they don't have as many or as strong. We've booked at Jekyll the end of June b/c it is very family oriented there and more private plus less severe storms in general. Good luck. I've been worried about the same things
Is July 4th a holiday for you?
I don't think the company I work for observes this holiday. After checking my handbook, it looks as if it is not even on the list. We have to alternate holidays and then only have to work a half shift, so it is not so bad. I was just checking to see if it was my holiday and was surprised to see that it is a regular day. I'm sure I saw it when I started with them last year, but it just didn't register with me. We had Memorial Day and will have Labor Day. I'd rather have July 4th than either of those two holidays. Is anyone else having to work that day as a regular day?
Happy 4th of July everyone!
to keep all your little critters safe if you're like me and have an animal that is scared of loud noises. There are lots of animals that get injured around this time of year (especially in shelters) from fear of the noise that fireworks create. There have been dogs that have actually jumped through windows trying to escape from the noise.
Not trying to bring anyone down, just reminding everyone to keep your little ones safe. I have to give Rescue Remedy to my dog to keep him calm because he is so frightened of loud noises (thunderstorms especially).
Have a safe and happy 4th!!
Happy 4th of July!

and Happy July 4th to you!!!
!
LOL mine starts around the end of July
nm
I've been doing this since July 2004
and I consider myself comfortable with my current accounts. Seasoned? No way. You must be doing a great job for your Editor to say that.
My co. was begging for MTs to work July 4th -
 - so I stayed home, and can see a ton of work listed, yet my job list is EMPTY!
I hate when this happens! They cry for backlog to be caught up, yet we can't get to it to do it. Meanwhile, ANOTHER holiday wasted in front of the PC waiting for work.
How can this be? First date supposed to be mid May, NOT July?
Found nothing on IRS.gov site for a schedule, either.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY from all the staff at MTStars!
What are you cooking for 4th of July? Recipes encouraged please!

I just paid $150 to take it in July 2008,,,in the states
with the study group discount
OT: Girl singer on the July 4th shows - did anyone catch this show on the Fourth?
I'm trying to find the name of one of the performers on the evening of the Fourth who sang God Bless the Child (I think it was on the show where the President attended). Does anyone know who that singer was? I missed the first half of her song and they did not announce her name again at the end. I thought it might have been Brandy but I haven't kept up with celebs lately.
Thanks in advance.
How nice is this keyboard? Nice light touch?
I have a regular Microsoft ergonomic one now but I'm thinking I should probably get a replacement and use mine as a backup.
They were saying that MT Stars could see (sm)
the message. Supposedly they sent one to an MT using the Reply By Email function and were told not to mention other boards that could be in competition with this one. Since the info was sent as reply by email, they warned that evidently that's not so private here. ??
MT Stars has one

Thanks MT Stars!
THANKS MT STARS!!!
Wow! This is great! Thanks MTStars & MetroScript for making this happen!!! 
Thank you, MT Stars!!!
I needed one!
Post on MT Stars
Hi, saw your post. I too am a Spheris employee currently on FMLU time. Found a great company that does not require you to adhere to a schedule; work just has a 24-hour turnaround time. Producing 1100 lines a day is wonderful. I am just starting, but am satisfied so far and learned of this job from another MT in my small town, who has worked for this company for years. They are InHealth Transcription. Carol Scheer is the recruiter. Check out their website. Good Luck!! Let me know how you fair. I haven't been at this but for 10 years, but I am becoming disgruntled also. I would love talking to someone with this much experience.
I second that! Thank you MT Stars for doing the right thing!
Sheri from MT stars
Sheri, I just wanted to let you know that I have not received an e-mail giving me a chance to draw from the gift bag. I made a donation using paypal on December 2nd and have not heard anything. I do have the reference number for verification.
Empty Box from MT Stars
Sad day when someone goes through the mail and takes your gift. I received a tube from MT STARS today and it was empty...This was my gift from the Santa donation. I hope whoever took it really likes the gift.
Dancing with Stars
Yes, I love it. So far, Jerry Rice was my absolute favorite!
addicted to MT Stars
It is not just you. I am constantly checking it as it is a nice diversion. Plus it is great when you need word advice now and then. It is also a good feeling being able to pitch in and guess a word when someone else is stumped. Just like any job--we always wonder what everyone else is doing down the hall.
Thanks MT Stars for the recognition!!!...n/m

MT stars board
is this owned by an MTSO or just who is it owned by?
I would thank my lucky stars I still had a job
You've really got some gall to do that.
You're no lab rat, ma'am. You're trying to manipulate your employer.
You work FOR an employer, at their discretion.
If that shoe doesn't fit you anymore, go get a different one.
If I were your employer, I'd fire the both of you as examples to the other 2, regardless of what it took to recover from it.
You asked for opinions. That's mine! lol
MT Stars IS Santa! sm
I love this board and gain so much from it, I cannot imagine how anyone can find fault with anything on here. Just refund their money if they don't like it!
Yup - it's why I'm reading MT Stars right now

MT stars board
something very does sound amiss.(teehee) MT stars should have easily transferred to the new domain by now. But, I would very much remain optimistic about it at this point. This so called message from this doctor sounds like so many of those fraudlent emails that are sent out. you know the ones - I am from foreign country, cannot deposit this sum of money. Would ask that you make transfer into your bank blah blah blah .....I wouldn't trust anything from overseas. If it does happen that it is this way, then all will find out in the end, until then chill....
Saw your message on MT Stars
Before you get your hopes up, I wanted to say I don't know of any jobs just yet but will keep an eye out.
There is a web site I've been working on that might help you as you're looking. www.medical-transcription-and-you.com
I'm not sure how to get that to be a link you can just click on, but it looks like you'll have to copy and paste it into the browser.
Anyway, there is lots of information which may or may not be helpful to you, but it does go through the process of resume, looking, applying, following up, etc.
And, don't worry, I'm not trying to sell anything! I started the site because I was a single mother 7 years ago and was totally lost when it came to MTSOs and working from home and I've picked up a few tips along the way that I wanted to share. Plus the page on voice recognition humor might pick up your spirits.
I was nice today, and people were nice to me.
If you steer away from the nastiness, there are a few nice and encouraging posts in there.
Paid, thanks to MT Stars and Sheri
I had an issue with an MTSO who had ads on this board. I contacted Sheri (board owner), who made haste in getting in touch with the MTSO. As a result, I was paid today.
Many thanks to Sheri and MT Stars for your support, concern and willingness to get involved!!!!!!
Thankful MT!!!!!!!!
MT STARS: Thank you for my lovely gift.

Thank you MT stars for the beautiful print. I am going to have it
framed and hang it in my living room. I think you are doing a great thing with the Santa's House project, too.
