from a response to something they posted on a board? If there are people who post on boards and expect everyone to go along with them or they cry, they really shouldn't be left unattended and certainly shouldn't have a computer. I am serious here.

Now wait just a minute!
"The poor" ?
Still here. Now just wait 1 minute!!!!!!
I never said you should say that Laura Bush is a great role model. She obviously is NOT in your opinion. You are entitled to that; however, the thread was asking who people felt were good female role models. The poster who started the thread did not say "Please, anyone who does not like one of these named role models PLEASE, PLEASE turn this into a nasty thread, PLEASE."
The people who named Laura Bush had every right to post her and also had every right for you to keep your opinion to yourself rather than spoil and ruin their post. You could start a separate thread asking who everyone felt were negative female influences. Then you could name Laura Bush. You just like to turn every single thread on this board into one of your nasty little rallies.
Geez. Get a life. You really have some issues sugar -- no make that -- sour foot. LOL.
wait a minute
I tried to post earlier and not sure if it went through. WHat happened to friendly advice for a fellow MT, not blame for things. You say you easily make $200 a day...really?? I find that hard to swallow. Don't get me wrong...you must have some great tricks for the trade, maybe you can share with us how to get to where your at. Not just with the pay, but it sounds as though you are pretty fast and may have some short cuts we could all potentially benefit from.
whoa, wait a minute sm
I said "acting like a fool" not calling anyone a fool. There is a difference! Come on, guys. My point is simply this...if your job makes you so unhappy that you feel the constant need to post negativity all day, then perhaps it's time to find something that will make you happy, it's that simple. And consistently posting silliness, i.e.; foolishness, here on this board is NOT helpful! Point Blank...sorry, sometimes the truth really, um, SUCKS!
Wait a minute, Cowgirl.
First, you didn't make all that information clear in your first post.
Second, I wasn't "beating you up" or any other poster. I was trying to give you a little advice to save yourself some emotion. Going to an attorney over the things you were talking about would just waste your money.
Third, I DO work for MQ. I AM concerned over changes happening with MQ.
I told you in my post you had a right to be upset. Especially if they changed your pay in the past and didn't tell you.
I got a DEP discrepancy check as well. I understand then problem going on. I also understand that all the emotion in the world isn't going to change what has happened in the past and, with the current legal activity against MQ, it won't change the present either, only the future. I see the discrepancy checks as the first step in rectifying the situation. I'm not thrilled about all that has gone on. I'm also not panicking over the upcoming changes with the MT/ME Rewards Plan. They will be what they are. I can take them or leave them.
Nothing about my post was "beating you up"; though with the juvenile whining on here it probably came across as more parental than immature adults care to hear. I told you I agreed with you - you had the right to be upset. I told you that I thought you would be wasting your money going to an attorney. I gave you a scenario about another company to show you that emotional involvement will not change the company -- which is what everyone is so hell bent on doing. Well, it won't. They will always find others to do the work for what they want to pay. I was trying to give you a little advice so save yourself.
My further opinion is you should get over yourself. You are not in this situation alone so don't start with how bad you've got it when others may have it just as bad or worse.
Wait a minute....NO SPELLCHECKER?...sm...
Oh my gosh...what do you do for spellchecking? Also, does it have an expansion program or could I use ShortHand expansion with it? Now I am really worried. Please reply again. TIA
Wait a Minute Before You Protest
You know, I used to be very, very opposed to offshoring. Then I started doing some research on it. Do you know the primary reason why MTSOs would dare upset their MLS staff by offshoring? Because this is a 24/7 business and we won't work overnight and we won't do anything "difficult" like ESL docs or harder worktypes. It's as simple as that.
Before you start protesting, ask yourself these questions: Do I work overnight? Am I willing to work overnight? Would I be willing to take on an overnight shift if it meant the difference between working or losing my job to offshore?
I'm sure by now, you're saying, "No way - I have (kids/family/another job/a life) that I don't want to interrupt for work." Well, I"m sorry then. Until we remember the basic reason we're in this situation, we'll never get anywhere.
Do you want to make a difference in whether or not your company offshores? Volunteer to change your shift to the overnight. Often times, you can get an overnight shift differential, which means not only will you have more work available but you'll also make more money doing it!
Look - the industry is changing; it has to. We're the ones responsible for making it this way because we won't do things that are uncomfortable or the slightest bit difficult - Do you do ESL docs? What about hard worktypes? No? Then look in the mirror before you start spouting out about offshore.
We can change this but only by doing our part. Either we change or we'll be left behind.
Wait a doggone minute here... I would BE MY LIFE...
that "Happy"MomMT is the same nasty poster who roasted me over the coals because I send my TEN and ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD kids to day camp during the summer and said something about them being tired at night, meaning it was a good thing they weren't up watching TV half the night. The personality is awfully similar. Sigh.
Wait a minute...I thought my son was the most beautiful
Wait a minute, I guess I CAN afford one. When we first
bought one at my inhouse job (this was a while ago) they were right around $120.00. I just did a Goggle and you can get them for like $30 now.
Wait a minute, I'm not just talking about the boards, I'm talking about the news article.
Specifically,
"JLG has a contract with Arrendale Associates/ A+Network/CBay Scribe, which the group says is in India.
A letter from JLG to Barbara Dingman, chief compliance officer and director of health information management, says all medical transcriptionists assigned to the Medical Center Hospital account live in the U.S. and all work is done in America."
But yet they do business with Arrendale/A+/CBay, what am I missing here?
I think people should wait to go to college.
Do a couple of grunt jobs and figure out what you want out of life. My grunt jobs were waitress and motel housekeeper. Then pay for school yourself instead of expecting your parents to foot the bill. I'm still paying for mine. And actually figure out what you want to be when you grow up so you don't waste your education. When I was 18, I wanted to be a graphic designer and live in New York, LA or Las Vegas. However, that's not my passion in life. It just sounded kind of glam from movies and yuppie stereotypes. I am so completely opposite of that.
FWIW, nobody else in my family went to college and they all make way more money than I do. But priorities change in life.
This is why people have to wait so long when
You had better be life-flighted or you are waiting 4-ever because of these types of cases. I had a doc when I was on staff say he asked the patient, How long have you have this boyle on your butt? The guy said oh, about 3 weeks. So the doc says, and you wait until 3 a.m. to show up in the ER to decide to get treatment? And, the guy says, yeah, I culdn't stand the pain anymore. So the doc says, well, we're going to lance it, but unfortunately we can't give you any pain medicine for this procedure at 3 a.m. The guy decided to see his primary in the a.m. and left.
Wait til yu talk to people then who only had to add a program
It's just a zoo at MQ. Nobody knows sh^^.
But then it's not their money they are having you spend, is it?
I've had people tell me that I would need to wait to have my questions answered until I worked...
for them. What??? How would I know if I want to work for them if they don't answer my questions.
Go figure.
I agree, jeez, I can't believe how quick people are to suggest quitting the minute things are bad.

Paid by the minute... new to me... does $1.14/minute sound reasonable?

Doh! My EYES, EYES opened, lol.

Since you are new, just wait. Newbies have to wait. sm
Just because you said a "doctor's office" that narrows it down. No national work for private doctor's offices. It is all acute care. Just wait. They will let you know how you are doing.
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
I cannot believe my eyes!
Can you please tell me where I can go to get some of this "coddling"? Do you hear yourself. "Them"????? Ignorant bigots.
I am sure you are...or at least in your own eyes,
you sound like you either think you are better than every one, or you are lying! That may not be how you mean it - but that IS how it comes across, to me anyway!
eyes
When I turned 40 is when my vision started changing. Needing reading glasses only. I now wear bifocals for driving and reading, but I bought a pair of glasses from Wal-Mart that have become my computer glasses. I refuse to wear trifocals as that is basically what it would boil down to.
Good luck with your eye exam.
me too - have always said I don't do eyes...

eyes
Just what are you looking for? Transcription or yourself?
It was not about bad eyes!
Yes I do wear glases. So do a lot of other people in this world! He revealed my field of vision tests results in front of a crowd of other patients. It was normal by the way so I guess my eyes are not that bad. Still this violated privacy laws! And just what do you do for a living? I hope you never type any of my medical reports!
That's the one! Love his eyes 8-) nm

what does that mean rolly eyes?
is it an old time joke before my time?
Bawling my eyes out.
My husband is the BIGGEST JERK on the planet. I have been out of transcription for a few years having children and he has been working nights. We had agreed that I would go back to work after my 3-year-old gets into school (two more years). Recently, however, he decided he is tired of working and quit his job. I took a job and just started last week. He is already complaining that I'm not making enough money. I'm just so frustrated. My family and friends are ready for me to leave me, but I have three kids under 7 and I'm scared to death. I know I could support us, but I fear what the future holds, so it keeps me here. He is verbally and physically abusive to all of us and I know better than this. Please don't yell at me. I'm looking for some support. My family lives very far away. I'm sorry to dump this here, but you are all transcriptionists too and I thought maybe someone had a similar situation and could suggest something for me. Thanks.
He IS easy on the eyes! lol (nm)
Wow..my eyes, lol. In Word (sm)
up under Tools there is Word Count. You can get gross lines, characters, characters extended, etc. Is that what you mean? Not sure about the Dictaphone question.
sorry I don't do eyes but it's ophthalmology...
Can't you get any samples from your doc? Eyes are
s
Help me out here, I thought eyes were ENT as
in eyes, nose and throat?
Yes I like it larger..helps my old eyes! nm

Congrats on still having your eyes open!
Your 11 p.m. to midnight hour will be credited to the previous day since it technically is yesterday.
Okay, don't think that made any sense.
11 p.m. to midnight on 08/28/2005 is credited to 08/28/2005
midnight to 7 a.m. on 08/29/2005 will be credited to 08/29/2005, and then when you go back to work at 11 p.m. tonight, that hour will be credited to today, so you will get your 8 hours, just kinda split.
Good luck! I'm dozing. Sunday/Monday is the hardest for me.
How about "Smiley" or "Googly" for the eyes! nm

My eyes are terrible now, 10 years of this job has
taken it's toll. My ears are terrible and I am 45. I think the hearing loss is hereditary but the tinnitus is definitely tied to the job. This job is definitely not worth losing any of my senses over.
In God's eyes, you're not an orphan...
Each and every one of us belong to Him. I will keep you in my prayers. Read Psalm 23. It uplifts me during very trying times, and I hope it helps you. Sometimes, only faith keeps us going, faith in better things to come.
Board went bonkers, right before me eyes! SM
I was trying to say - before board splattered TWO unfinished messages out there - that I don't know what shift you work and I don't care. I don't know what time Junior goes to soccer, and I don't care.
You are not working in an office. I don't know why I keep answering this post, when it is obvious that you think everybody should back off the work so you have bingo money.
Trying to contact Rolling Eyes
I am trying to get an email address for someone who regularly posts at "Rolling Eyes" e.g. Rolling Eyes on Sun, etc. If have a question about a prior post and want to send a private email. Thanks
for the back...and disks for eyes.....nm

No and I didn't and don't cross the eyes....sm
And I do it alone in front of a mirror in the bathroom...*lol* - not a pretty pose, you're right - but it WORKS for TMJ.....*S*
Have a nice day!!!! 
dry eyes office humidifier help
Hi, am looking for recommendations for a good little humidifier I can use in my office. The dry air from the central air is making my dry eyes very uncomfortable. I have a Reli-On that I just brought in, but it doesn't seem to be doing the job. I'm pretty much limited to shopping at Walmart in this town. I use eyes drops of course, but really need the moisture in the air. Thanks for any advice.
George Clooney...something about those eyes! nm

My eyes are wide open. Believe me, I know his
faults better than anyone. I can't keep religion of it, though, because it is a huge part of my life. It's not a crutch, it's simply a way of life. I, too, wish you the best. I know we all have our opinions and may not always agree, but that's okay, too. I hope you have a happy 4th, too!
In the eyes of the IRS an IC needs to work for more than one company (sm)
There are actually 20 important points - Google under worker status and IRS and you will find... I'm not good at links.. but you must use your own equipment, set your own hours, do work at your own pace, be allowed to hire subcontractors, etc. And this is why companies have a difficult time with ICs. But it can be done with a little understanding on both sides... For your sake and your company's sake - you really need to have a second or third job or at least be actively looking!
oh, that just made my eyes water!!! (sm)
I can't imagine with all of the toys that are available that someone would need to turn to fruits and veggies for thrills. OMG, you know, potatoes are the worst smelling ick when they start rotting. I wonder if the poor doc who removed it puked. and it was sprouting??? blech!
Wow! you brought tears to my eyes sm
I was all ready to be blasted and your post actually brought tears to my eyes. I know it isn't ME because the same ME was barely making $10 an hour average on the account I was assigned before I got the one I'm on now and have been on for the last 2 years. I thank my higher power every day for my luck and will never forget that awful account I had before this one.
snow hurts my eyes
too much glare. It blocks my rays!
This brought tears to my eyes. sm
I loved this. I love animals and this shows how loving an animal can be.
