PLEASE, lets drop this....
I got the help I needed for today. Let's just drop it.
not sure where my link went but lets try again

a key fob lets you into some place
I live in a huge complex and each building has their own electronic box (boxes) on every door that the owners/residents use a key-fob for to enter...the gym, any external door, business center, conference room, etc.
Is that what you're speaking of? Something that is usually plastic and hangs on a keychain to allow entrance somewhere......
How to get job that lets you earn only up to

IF MQ LETS YOU GO, ARE YOU GOING TO REFUSE TO TAKE $$ FROM THEM?
Be honest.
DECREASE IN PAY!! LETS REBEL
they want to decrease our ME pay by 20%. we need to all be asked to go back to MTs and earn what we are worth
Lets ask Frank about spaces
Well, maybe all us MQ workers should send a friendly letter to Frank (isnt he still the CEO?) and ask if we get paid for spaces. I have been told in the past I do, however, I have noted a decrease in lines when switching to DQS and dont know where those lines went. I have to work one to two hours more a day to make the same line count I made on Cottage, in the **good old days**..OMG, not paying for spaces? Well, then maybe we should not space between words or sentences, cause it takes our thumb to hit the key board and know when to space, Im working here..It working to put in spaces..I should be paid!!..Or, okay, dont pay me for spaces, then pay me more for my lines and my intelligence and my knowledge of medical..
There you go, lets have a thread about old cars!!!
yeah.
GO PANTHERS !!! Made it once, lets do it again. nm
What version are you using? Mine lets me do that. sm
I checked to see if there was a setting you need to adjust, but could not find one. I use an older version 8.70b, and it lets me do that, but I know the older versions than what I have did not allow that.
Try a noise machine - we have one that lets you....sm
choose between the sounds of a waterfall, crickets chirping, and other sounds that I got my daughter for $10 at Target. Good luck!
Lets cut all cables to India! sm
You know, some other countries don't permit their citizens to access US websites because of salacious content.
I say, we should not be allowed access via the internet to ANY third world backwater where they are sending American jobs!!!!
We should also block content to said polluted backwaters if it involves employment in this country.
Keep America great, preserve our borders real and virtual. Keep American jobs for Americans and LEGAL immigrants.
umm yeah and please learn to speak English.
lets us know whether or not we need to open the post. NM

If the system lets you access old reports, you'll have

Lets bottom line this, say she leaves and goes to another company
What do you think would be her chances of them going to VR? Do you think it will go poof and disappear? Do you think refusing to take lower wages makes the companies take notice and reverse to go back to the golden days when we had really good salaries? Be willing to bet that next paycheck most would go along with their companies going to VR rather than changing, going to a new job only to find out the same thing happens there.
Well, lets hope they keep the regulars on their own accounts because the hospitals know who types
regularly in those accounts and how the work is and if there is no complaining from the doctors and all of a sudden when you start throwing a whole bunch of new backups in there and the docs start complaining the hospitals can look in those systems and see who is working and then they call and complain to the MQ office and some have threatened to leave if the situation doesnt get straightened out which means you go back to just the regulars that really know the hospital.
Lets try this again. With all the big nationals running us out or work and lowering our wages what
do you suggest.
Here I was worried about groceries. Lets worry about your stuff. Its easier.
;P
Make money? I'm not making any money because of my decision. You read my reasoning
You can agree with me or not, but don't make false assumptions please.
Lets hope it is not geared line count per hour the way we run out of work and are in so many
other accounts all the time. Boy that would be bad.
You're working to make money, not to spend money.
These people should be ashamed of themselves taking advantage of people this way!
I also blew some money signing up with Quixtar... The only way to make any money is to bug everyone
you know into signing up. I felt like a snake oil huckster. I hated it. I was flushing money down the toilet from the moment I handed over my money.
RUN, do not walk away! I do an entirely different side business now that I really love (in addition to my MTing, which I also love!) Find something you're good at and that you truly love doing. Then make a business out of it. That's the best way to have a side business. Selling discount toilet paper through Amway/Quixtar? Not so much.
The CMT exam is overrated. Don't waste your time & money. Use that money on
paid anymore just because you have it. There are a few CMT cheerleaders that post to people like you but they are pretty well sucked up into that association.
How do you decide which is better?
National SE/employee versus small MTSO IC
I have my opinions based on my experiences, but I'd like to hear your opinions. I wish I could have a hybrid of the two. Steady workload, but a flexible schedule as long as xx number of lines was done per day. Mostly the same dictators over and over, but still available to help out if another account needs it. Is there such a creature out there? Or am I dreaming the impossible dream? I'd make a list of all my wishes, but I fear I'd be laughed off the boards. LOL 
Still trying 2 decide...
where to spend my cent. So many choices!
But when did he decide to be gay?
DECIDE to be gay???

Can anyone help me decide which job to keep?
I worked as a hospital employee, then IC for quite a few years. Everytime I asked about employee openings, there were none. I would always be out of work for 2-3 months in the beginning of the year. I finally quit and got a job with a national. The hospital couldn't keep up on the work and asked me to come back and work weekends and days I did not have anything else to do (that's a joke!).
Now I understand they are going to hire another FT MT. I want to apply mainly because of the health benefits, as I am paying $600 a month now.
I love working for the national but now my problem...I still feel loyalty to the hospital. I don't know what they are paying yet or what the hours would be and don't even know if she would hire me full time.
I know I should take into consideration the benefits, etc. and compare it with the national, but the work at the national company is so much nicer with regards to the doctors and program they use. The hospital has a lot more ESLs to contend with. The only problem with the national is that I have a hard time getting my production and a lot of days, I get really stressed out.
What is the going rate of a in house MT in PA? I have 10 years acute care experience. What could I expect to be offered? Thanks in advance for your help.
Yes, this is what I'm trying to decide
She would not hire me before because I worked 7 days a week plus holidays. This will probably be the sticking point even now. Plus there is a new CEO there that tries to tow (sic) the line on hiring.
My husband has a heart problem and we really need the insurance (he's self-employed). He is working but I don't know how long, until he drops dead, he says. I don't want to see that happen. Been with him 40 years, but we can't afford to get his heart fixed right now. (Does that give you an idea of our ages). Aw heck, he probably wouldn't do it even if he could, so who is he fooling? He's a workaholic like me. I made a lot of money through them as IC, but really need to get away from that status. We were paying through the --- to the IRS and we're tired of it. I know if I was hired, she wouldn't need the 6 per diems she has now plus the mandatory OT.
Another thing...the hospital is only 37.5 work week. I would probably say yes to any OT or extra time because that's the way I am, but I'm in a hole now $$ wise.
I really would prefer the hospital but I don't want to be suckered into working for less than I'm worth just because I have no idea what they pay. If I get my speed up with the national, and I'm sure I will soon, I should be able to make more, but I don't know the first thing about nationals either as it was my first job with one. All I know is I'm doing as well as expected.
I thank you for your input.
Well...what did you decide?
nm
When you do decide to get out - sm
be it weeks, months or years, drop me a line, that is if you don't already have someone in mind to take over your accounts, unless you are just planning to give them notice and let them fend for themselves. Obviously if you are doing tapes this would not work unless we are near each other which I doubt (I am near Richmond, VA), but digital would work just fine and that is how I work now. I am always looking to add on and looking to one day have a few people working for me. So if you have the inclination e-mail me, and I will email back with my information.   
Thank you! I have been trying to decide
if I wanted to try the Gevalia or not, and when I read this I got on the site and signed up for it. Thanks for helping me make up my mind!
Can't decide
I would choose family, being home with kids over a job. Jobs come and go, but time spent with your children can't ever be re-paid.
Here's how I decide (sm)
1. If account specifies, follow the specs.
2. If no specifics and paid for spaces, by all means, 2 spaces after the period. Helps the line count a little bit at least. (I type all my accounts this way.) It's easier to read, especially in the lab data section.
3. If no specifics and not paid for spaces, they get 1 space after sentences.
Only you can decide!
Both IC and employee have their advantages and disadvantages. Do you need insurance or not? Based on what some people are saying the health insurance offered by a company is not always the best offer out there. Do you prefer flexibility or do you want to work a set schedule?
To receive full benefits you might have to achieve certain line requirements. I just switched from employee to IC. My employer did not offer much regarding benefits and did not always offer enough work so that I could achieve the line requirements. They only offered paid vacation. Now I have the flexibility and am making the same amount per line after tax deductions as previously before tax deductions.
Not every employee position offers full benefits. Also, depending on what type of work you do, the quality of the dictators and your QA team, you could make more money as an IC.
Maybe not the question IC or employee is as important as finding the job that suits you best.
trying to decide
how difficult is this medical transcription to do? I am going to take a medical terminology class at community college and take word 2007 before I start either M-Tec or somewhere maybe in December.
only you can decide what's best!
you are the one that will be typing on it! I don't know what brands you tried or I might give you my opinion, but can only tell you what I like about mine you know? I actually bought this cheap little Belkin kind, split keyboard and when you type the keys they are loud, which is one thing that i like for some reason... Also I have to have the "insert, home, page up/page down, delete and end" button certain ways... two rows three across. You know, certain things for certain people! Good luck!!
It's up to you to decide...
if you think 26k is fair. I am assuming you mean you make 26k as an MT with 5 years' experience? I think that sounds about right. There are some MTs with 5 years' experience who make more than that, some who make less. I make far more because I have far more years of experience than you. You have an associate's degree, but it is in a different field, right? That is not going to make a difference as far as MT pay is concerned. As I said, I went to school for 4 months to become an MT (an on-site, full-time school), plus I worked in-house for a long time with a mentor before I began working from home. Like you, I also have education in a different field. At this point, I can make more money as an MT, which seems fair to me.
Yeah, money, that's it. I paid $20.00 for my dog. Money is NOT THE ISSUE
walk him daily, play ball daily, he sleeps in my office daily while I work. Yeah, I got a lot of money, NOT HARDLY. And, my dog is HORRIBLY HORRIBLY ABUSED because he wears a collar around his neck. It's people like you that make me sick. I am done defending my use of the shock collar. I am going to continue with it and my dog will continue to be pampered , educated, fed, kept warm, and love me for everything that I do for him even when I remind him that his barking needs to stop. So, with that said, I will not respond to any more of your CRAP in reference to the shock collar.
