In Reply to: Update on daughter & local Idol Contest.... - tia
I need to watch now, getting a bit weary of so many this-and-that contest though. Awaiting return of Dancing with the Stars though. Loved it last time, so fun fun fun. I've seen Alicia Keys on Leno, brought back two in quick time, she played piano and say. She is good and so young, so many of them are so young and really have talent too not just a lot of loud hoopla of this-and-that.
How exciting for you both.

if you are so worried about it, why don't you call and ask for God sakes!
Why do you care? It doesn't concern you. How much money they have has nothing to do with you. The fact that she presses the media and gives a lot of interviews, lets the media follow her around, etc. is the reason why there is interest in the story. She MAKES it a story.
I don't understand why you would be upset that a mother is getting media coverage for searching for her lost child? Are you jealous of her money or something?
For heavens' sakes. It's not all those Canadians SM
--and others--doing work for US companies that makes the future so questionable for us. It's whether healthcare dollars should be invested in our work at all; and if a narrative-style record is retained, how much of one? We have a new administration coming in Washington in a few weeks already expressing a commitment to saving healtcare dollars by forcing an accelerated move to a nationwise EHR system. Will our work be in it at all? ? ? I've said it before, all it would take would be Medicare announcing in future it would no longer reimburse narrative-report costs to do away with most of our jobs within months.
I'm not saying this WILL happen--a narrative record is very important to communication. A list of A, B, and Cs just isn't the same. AND, speech recognition means it is becoming much more efficient, thus cost effective, to produce, which I'm hoping will be the salvation of at least some of our jobs.
But if I were you, I'd stop worrying about strange-looking boogymen with funny accents in far lands and start worrying about economic realities and revolutionary changes going on right in front of us right here at home.
But AFTER the holidays. Wishing you happy ones. :)
Leave. For goodness sakes, if you're unhappy
get out. Stop this juvenile whine and complain behavior.
The only thing more ridiculous than your incessant whining is the fact that you have NO IDEA yet what the new plan is. You have nothing to base it on. What? The 20% ASR reduction? That was foretold upfront...it was a pilot program and the rates would be adjusted later. Well, later is here, people. This is not a new business concept. This happens all the time. The phone company does it with new services, industries do it with new products. You have an option -- opt out of ASR and transcribe. YOU HAVE A CHOICE.
Stop trying to incite panic. It's embarassing for supposedly mature, intelligent people to be acting like this. Grow up.
Aw, I thought it was cute. He was being satirical, for goodness sakes. nm

Really really stinks to fire someone in a conference call for gosh sakes. nm

7th Heaven
I am really going to miss it too! I love 7th Heaven!
7th Heaven
Hard to find good shows the whole family can watch. We will miss it.
I would be in heaven
Lordy, I would be so thrilled if I could make 200 lines an hour!
Oh, for Heaven's sake -

Why in heaven do you even have to "ask" him? - sm
This is a tool of your trade. If your husband were a carpenter and needed a saw, would he ask you? I can assure you he wouldnt. He would just run out and get one. Just go get one for goodness sake.
Kevin is heaven?
If kevin is heaven then.....aw nevermind...lol
good voice but do we really want a nerd to represent America???
I'd rather just pay the money and go to heaven.

Do you work in heaven?
Man, I'd love a job at home with full benefits. Not many of those around here (Los Angeles), if any at all. If the company I
previously worked for at home had those, I never would have gone back to the word-factory of in-house transcription! Consider yourself very blessed!
For heaven's sake! It's not THAT bad!
You can go to CareerStep, one of the "top 3" schools for about $1,600, and if you work at it you should be able to finish it in 9-12 months. As for purchasing equipment, you'll get a foot pedal with your course and Express Scribe (the software you'll use to actually transcribe) is free. You will have to buy a few reference books and some fairly cheap software--that all shouldn't run you more than $400-$500, tops. I'm assuming you already have a computer, or else how could you have posted this note?
Now, there are jobs being taken over by software and being outsourced to other countries. And there ARE doctors who dictate TERRIBLY. But there are still some decent jobs out there and decent doctors as well. If you work at it and sell yourself well, you should do okay. Good luck!
For Heaven's sake... don't do what I did!
I accepted a position with another company, turned in my resignation when I received the acceptance letter from the other company. Friday will be my last day on the job, and I have not heard from the other company as to downloading software on computer and my first day is supposed to be Monday. My employer has already hired someone in my place, so I can't ask for my old job back. The past several days I've sent out about 5 or so resume's to various companies.
And for heaven's sake....
don't dictate in the bathroom. That's waaaaaay more than we want to hear!
For heaven's sake, where is your lawyer?
Your divorce is final in 2 weeks, and you're asking this super important question to MTs on a message board? PLEASE ask your lawyer.
heaven should be closed to most IRS agents
As soon as possible, talk to an attorney who specializes in this. Ask them if you can file Chapter 13 bankruptcy. In many cases, you can ultimately pay up to 10% of a past owed date.
While this is being haggled in the courts, you can send money, or not. You will have the protection of the federal government, who will handle another branch of the federal government.
Just never miss a single payment to the courts.
At-home MT about 10 years ago...it was heaven...
I had no complaints about MT-ing really...worked from home, made lots of money with no worries or pressure, worked the hours I pretty much wanted so I could enjoy my 'real' life, it was the best job I ever had ~
I quite miss it
Oh for heaven's sake...if she knew how to...
do that, she wouldn't have a question! Anyway, what platform do you use? Most of the time you will find a folder in the "My Documents" folder or in the hard drive (go to "My Computer" and click on your hard drive--usually C:) by the same name as your platform. Inside that folder will be your templates. When you get there, you can press Ctrl and F together. A screen will come up asking what you want to search for. Click "All files and folders". Where it says "All of part of the file name:" put "*.dot" (without the quotes). This will find all of the templates within that folder. Hope this helps.
it is heaven and paradise all rolled into one-I hope you get to go soon.
Kauai and Molokai are my personal favorites because they are the least developed (that people can visit)
Oh, for Heaven's sake - if you don't like it just don't reply. Grow up.

I hear you there! Heaven forbid if you should ask a question.
I work at a company with a lot of ESL/bad dictators. When I flag something, I never get a response, so I have the same darn flag. I feel like I am risking my job when I attempt to do the really hard dictators. If they would just answer my flag (it is always in the same place), I would not have any problems.
There's a special place in heaven for people like you...
You, my fellow MT, are a diamond in the coal that is humanity.
Blessed Be!
"May his soul rest in heaven."
This was the last line of a death summary I just transcribed.
That's a new one on me....
Wow ... 14.5 cpl ... that's great! I'd be in "typer" heaven (reference to my post sm
on the main board - ha).
Congrats :)
I believe in something.... Jesus. I'm saved and going straight to heaven. No such thing as limbo.
Agreed. I always found them to be a match made in trailer heaven
Hawaii, the place where Dr. Green died on ER. It looked like heaven there. nm

I've had a sniffler - blow your nose for heaven's sake!
My rant re: "a match made in trailer heaven - two skanks in a crud"
Let me FIRST say that I do not usually rant, I am not a ranter, if something bugs me I take a deep breath, look at the offending item in the grand scheme of my life and realize that most of the time it isn't that big a deal. However, these condescending trailer park references that I run into are a bunch of crap!
How can you make a derogetory referrence regarding people who live in trailers? If it had something to do with race or sex you have been flamed by the whole board. I am sick and tired of generalizations directed basically towards me! I live in a trailer in a trailer park and I MOST CERTAINLY am not a skank. I have heard it all, white trash, trailer trash, skank, etc. when people talk about parks. My town even named it a "Manufactured House Community" and hid it where you can't see it! I am here because I can afford it here. The average price for a house in my town in Maine is $250,000 ++. While we do just fine, I cannot afford that on my MT salary (been MT for 6 years) even though my husband works his butt off at 3 jobs. Oh sure, we could probably get a loan for a $300,000 house but I refuse to get in over my head in debt just to convince people like YOU I am in your league! I also LIKE it here. My neighbors are the best I have had. All of our homes (trailers) are well maintained, the lawns are spotless, and there is not a single car up on blocks that I can see anywhere!! Don't even bother to tell me that is not the norm for parks because there are 300+ trailers in this park and they are all just as well taken care of!
Another thing that irritates me is the word "skank". I have never understood why women have to tear each other down using trashy descriptions like that. Of course I am sure there are those out there who DESERVE the title but most of the time women seem to judge based on the look of the offending party.
You may think your comment was tiny and I am blowing it out of proportion, but I am not! It is comments like that that makes people like my neighbors ashamed to even tell people where they live.
I have said my piece and I await the flaming. When you drive through my park (yah right) and see me standing on the nice, green lawn in front of my pretty trailer with my 7-year-old in the yard, my toddler on my hip, looking very pregnant in my cutoffs and tank tops, you can THINK "skank" all you want. I KNOW that I am a strong, educated, well-employed woman with a nice little family who refuses to put all our happiness and our hard-earned savings on the line to prove that I am EQUAL to people like you!
i'd call that brownie points for heaven LMAO...and a waste of time!
;)
