He calls me daily whining that he doesn't have any money. Then calls me names when I
a check. He hasn't looked for a job, hasn't even read the want ads, I'm sure. He told me he realizes he can't live without me. My paycheck is what he can't live without! I feel so humiliated and angry sometimes that I put up with him for as long as I did! 
Thats irresponsible too
Someone who allows a medical center to get that far behind in payment without doing something about it is not a very good business person in my estimation. You have to be firm and persistent with these accounts you cant just let your workers suffer along with you. If someone cant keep this under some control you can bet they are going to lose their business soon anyway so its better to find a more stable job than to hang around hoping they are going to develop better business sense.
My opinion on this subject is if you are going to step into being an MTSO to begin with you should know that this is a small business and you are going to need to set aside a reserve of money to pay your workers from even if your accounts are late in paying. Other than that you should just have very good credit. Why cant the MTSO borrow from their own credit to pay the workers, then just immediately pay that credit back with the check from the account who owed it. I dont understand people anymore. Some people try to run some awfully poor businesses these days and there is no excuse for it. Almost every Junior College has courses on small business that one can take for little or nothing.
Irresponsible?
I hope you're not referring to me. As I clearly stated, I've only had my OWN clients in the past, clients who have sought me out and I set my own hours, TAT, etc. This is for a company is an independent contractor who is telling me they expect me to work between certain hours yet require a minimum line count. My question was what do companies typically require you meet the line count in as many hours as it takes you OR that you just work solidly between those hours. Nothing irresponsible about asking what the typical norm is for companies.
Irresponsible pet owners
This is similar to thread on the spotted board about irresponsible owners. The posters there had sympathy for people who were careless with their pets.
Most teenagers are irresponsible
and some are just LUCKY. And they're all having sex. So there.
I would!!! I get so irritated at irresponsible dog owners (sm)
I hope you file a complaint. As someone else said, at least it will be on file.
I second the pepper spray!!! We have dogs in our neighborhood whose owners let them use others yards at their litter boxes, so to speak. I don't have dogs but have a yard full of dog doo. With kids who like to play outside, or even when MOWING! that is nasty!!!
My point is that it would be extremely irresponsible for her to have more kids in that situation. nm

I think it's terribly irresponsible of the doctors, but ultimately it's THEM who is responsibl

I have gotten a few calls - sm
I actually have not minded that I have not taken a job with the ones that I have called, but one person did ask me for my opinion on what I liked about the companies I have worked for and what I didn't like and what exactly would be the ideal home position. I liked that she took the time to listen and took notes. Although we both felt I would not be a fit for their company (hours and work schedule weren't good for me) I actually enjoyed sharing and hearing her feedback.
The Q calls it ASR too.

urgent calls
That would work, with the cell phone. I have my house phone line and the extra phone line for work only. The company I work for has toll-free access, so I don't need toll call or long distance service, and it runs less than $20 a month.
I also like having caller ID so I can also see who it is, and the answering machine so I can hear why they are calling. If it's urgent or important, I take the call. Otherwise, I don't answer it. You wouldn't believe how much productivity it eats to answer the phone every time it rings.
I believe they know the pay is so low they wouldn't get any calls.

ROBBED at least once. Some calls
Especially the "TD" where his knees, shoulder, elbow, hand and ball hit outside the line and then he scooted it in w/ a wide-eyed guilty look.  And, Hawks would have done better if Stevens could catch.
Sweet reverse play by Steelers though and long run by Parker.
And very cute commercial w/ the Budweiser colt.
calls from India
Have received three phone calls from India...I can tell by the accent (I transcribe a lot of Indian doctors). The first two calls were just stuttering around, wanting my name, etc. The last one was Sunday night at 9:00 p.m., woke me up. I was furious and asked him if he knew what time it was. He said he had no idea, but started with that "your name please", etc. I yelled "don't ever call this number again", and I hung up. I have passed this around at work, and some people are getting calls from India...I think they get us off the computer some way. Anybody else having this happen?
calls from India
I wonder if they are trying to recruit? They make me so mad...the last time he said "your name please" I told him it was none of his freaking business!
harrasing phone calls
my local phone company as most do, has a harrasement dept. you set it up that each and every time you get a call, you hit a certain numbe of keys and it "logs" the calls. After 5 such calls, you then report it to the police dept, they get the records and can go after the creeps! You never know the number, but the police will let you know who the offenders are. My sis had to use it because of an ex boyfriend of my nieces...his mother lost ALL phone service for a year!
wish you had it, it worked great to stop the 2am calls.
get rid of any man who calls your children names!
Let alone call you names in front of them. He sounds like a true control freak and slob to boot. Your 16yo needs to NOT be exposed to this kind of behavior from a man...she'll end up getting into relationships thinking this is "the way I grew up" mode.
Keep your faith and get out and into living your own life for you and your own children.
Her hinchman calls and tries to convince you that she really does not mean it.
Or she will call repeatedly and half way apologize. She is really a sorry creature in every way. Can't call her a human because she definitely is not that at all. I really can't say that I ever saw her after lunch when she was truly sober. Beer for breakfast is the norm.
Not an MT's job to make those kind of calls...
in the first place. You're contributing behind closed doors. I would find another job.
random calls/drop ins
People just do not understand. I have just had to be rude without apology. I have had so many people call and even though I don't answer still drop by. I have to say that if I am too busy to answer phone then I am also too busy to go to the door. I have had them stand on the door step ringing the bell and calling my phone. More than once I have answered the phone to someone saying they were at my door. I say, "Oh, is that you ringing my bell? Sorry but I am working". They do not like it but neither do appreciate the disrespect. My friends have just learned to laugh it off. I stick to my guns, even with my family No work, no pay, is what I say.
Simon calls that the X factor....

I only know one company who calls it ASR, and that is Webmedx

I made calls when i moved here from OH
I was told I did not. I asked a few sources because I am NOT running a company and do not need a DBA. I guess that may change if someone files a complaint, but I am not going to do it if I don't have to.
Court battle over Internet Calls
http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/internet/10/26/internet.calls.wiretap.ap/index.html
For those MTs like myself who access their work over the Internet, would this consist of violating the HIPAA laws?
I remember 5 cent pay phone calls. nm

They do make house calls to fix tractors -sm
at least Sears does. I'd look into it if I were you. I think the price would be worth it in the long run. We are in the boonies, and had trouble with our tractor (bought at Sears) and they came here and fixed it. We could have loaded it up on our trailer and taken it into town, but they came to us. As for attaching the trailer to the truck, do it when it is empty first of all, much, much easier, this way you can shift the trailer about by hand if necessary, hard to do but very possible, impossible to do if loaded though. I haul our trailer (small one 8 x 10) on occasion, and a 17 foot boat now and then, and have attached both loaded and unloaded. Still no good at backing up, but I am learning. ----I am planning a trip to the Nick Hotel too, Summer 2007 or 2008, saving up for it first, then will figure out when we are going!
I just forward my calls to my cell and answer that way...
if important. Or I can just get the call on the computer through my email.
calls to mind the anal wink... LOL.

Did you read post? She has contract that calls
x
I think the only reason she wants calls is so nothing she says can be documented in writing.
no msg
LOL! My sister calls that visual tuneout
Thank you for NOT noticing! I probably should've kept my mouth shut :/
Yup, and hate regular phone calls like that, too. Grrr....nm

Hmm, I've gotten several calls from "out of area" on my caller ID....SM
over the last couple weeks. I don't answer them, and the caller never leaves a message. The calls can come during the day or early evening.
I wonder if it could be MQ....
Certainly, I applied to that ad, and received 2 phone calls back.
I had no knowledge of them either. So, I asked if they are US based and what their plan entails. He told me they have a base in the Philippines and plan to send all of the transcription overseas. If I had a problem with that to tell him now. Of course, as candid as I am, I told I absolutely have a HUGE problem with that. I also told him that I am not the candidate for him!
What led me to believe it was an overseas operation was that I put that phone number in reverse look up and an Indian name came up, not the "American Name" that was listed. So, that was a huge red flag. I outright asked him what is his "real name".
When your family calls you wanting medical advice.
It is helpdesk work, not telemarketing. Only incoming calls.
I wish they'd hurry up and talk $$ so I can compare versus MT.
I'd setup IM or similar instead of making phone calls. It
seems like the company is very disorganized. I personally would not make any phone calls that I am not reimbursed for.
It's no more 6/6/6 than june 6 1996 was. Nobody otherwise calls the year only by the last digit.
sss
my company pays downtime for conf calls...
If you have a cell phone, why not use that for your LD calls and CX the LD on the land line?
.
I transfer my calls to cell phone during work. nm
nm
ask if there is a charge for local calls. I have had this happen a couple of times. I take an egg
xx
No, they're talking about Internet phone calls, not FTP transfers.
The physicians aren't actually calling you over the Internet to dictate. You're downloading sound files and uploading documents.
I definitely feel like we are dealing with the same person! I think I need to make some phone calls
and put a stop to her! I cannot stand the idea that she is out there still scamming people like she scammed me!
Happens all the time. Make phone calls for more definite action. nm

My nurse said most patients make calls with their cell, no problem
x
What is the longest you have gone without service? Do they return phone calls promptly?
TIA
Interesting. I find it kind of obnoxious when poster calls others fools.
Then the OP goes on to say others are "negative"????? Do you find it offensive someone calls you a fool or you are acting foolish when you complain or joke about your work/manager/company? When posters respond, they are unpleasantly surprised that this would produce negativity against the OP?
I agree. The silly phone calls just make the worries worse, if
nm
When the company asked me to start making long distance phone calls,
they offered to pay my long distance for the charges. I then got a cheap long distance plan to make the charges for them more reasonable.
You need to JUST SAY NO to making long distance calls for them. If they will pay for it then do it, otherwise no way.
Is this a joke?
