You're not special, lol.
:+
Yeah, I would guess the same.
It just seems to be an attempt to engage in conversation.
Recently, my DH was in the ER getting ready to go to CT, and when the tech said "We are taking you for your CAT scan now. Did you bring the cat?," I did a double take, then got the joke and laughed.
Yeah, no one has ever offered me more, even for ugly ESL accounts. One rate I guess is the standard
Just make sure it's a good fair rate, especially if you do pretty complicated work. There is no way I'd do less than 8 cpl for ESL but may think about it for clinic work. It just has to be fair, which is getting tougher and tougher to get in this biz. Rates get lower but cost of living is going up and up.
Guess you're probably going to ask
us to stop posting receipes with meat in them on this board as well, huh?
My guess is you're going to
without any official training. Most companies really look at experience, but also look at training. Just my opinion though.
guess you're right
one of those things I can't do anything about. That's hard to accept sometimes.
I guess you're quite a pair (sm)
That's too bad you both have such troubles. Good to hear (no pun intended) that your husband can hear now!! It probably seems like a small price to pay for him to be able to have his hearing but (but still soooo expensive, how can the company justify charging someone that much?) Can you benefit from laser eye surgery??
Guess we're in the same boat
Where are you? I'm wondering if this is nationwide? You have to already be in the "system" to volunteer? How much talent does it take, for Pete sake, to sort stuff and load trucks? But....oh well...we'll keep trying I guess.
I guess we're probably talking $8-12 a day.

Yeah, you're probably right .. (s/m)
I guess if offshoring continues to grow, it'll affect ALL of our jobs. If that happens, I guess I'll have to figure out how to make a living using the Internet, or something.
Anyway, thanks for your input!
Yeah, you're probably right. nm
xxx
lol guess they're tired of all our griping about every
and slandering every company in the world
:)
Yeah, that's why you're the one whining
online about a grocery store clerk a full week later. It must have been pretty bad to affect your self esteem so much that you're still dwelling on it. Have you ever actually worked in customer service before?
Yeah, you're right...what was I thinking?
Guess you're not ready for grown up humor then.
Thanks, Mimi. Guess I better boost that production - I'm sure you're right
nm
Yeah, that's if you're with someone who tries hard to be quiet. LOL
Mine mutters because he can't find something and turns on the lights because he can't see. He finally admitted that he wakes me up deliberately because he doesn't like to be up alone in the mornings. I used to have to make coffee for him and drive him to work at 4:30 a.m. He loved that. I was so tired and cranky because I can't go back to sleep once I'm woke up.
I guess they're hoping enoug people will quit
that it won't be a problem anymore!! Sigh.
Yeah, tell him you met some chick over the Internet and you're getting married.
Then if he ever asks again, tell him the chick turned out to be a dude and luckily you found out before the ceremony.
yeah, pretty much what we're saying, accounts set the rules
over anthing else. If JC says something to them - they will let us know.
Yeah, you're right. Who cares who licenses your software? Heck, I use all pirated software anyw
why pay for anything, right?
Except that is AGAINST THE LAW!!!
Special
What is your suggestion of what is special?
Special
For starters a good high pay rate with bonuses. Good benefits including a retirement with a match by the employer. And while we're wishing, how bout a little more respect for the MTs.
Special needs son
Teacher sent home this website: www.internet4classrooms.com He actually goes on the computer and navigates around the site pretty well. I'm hoping to get some time to look at it and see what else he can do.
You are special
And maybe God knew that your stepdaughters and nieces and nephews were going to ~need~ you. HAPPY "Special Aunt Patti" DAY to you!!!!
Special Needs
I understand that everyone wants what is best for their children, I know I do. But, it is very frutrating when there are other children in the class and parents think that their child should get all the extra attention, at the expense of 20 other kids. In our district, we have more special education teachers (many specifically to work wiht ADHD children) than we do regular teachers and our gifted program got cut, because this stuff is federally mandated. I would sure like it if they mandated GT programs too.
My son is ADHD and GT as well. It is my responsiblity as a parent to work with him, both on his education and his medical issues. He was medicated through junior high and still struggled a bit, but now, as a freshman in HS, he is averaging over 95%.
It is our responsibility to do what is needed to help our children excel. Not just the schools.
You should not need anything special--sm
like adaptors or anything to plug it in to your computer. They plug in just like a CRT monitor. They are slightly different in visualization though, (colors do not seem as bright, at least to me) and they do take some getting used to, but I really like mine. I have an LG 17 inch.
special thank you
Just wanna say a special "thank you" for someone emailing me a book that will give me so much info on this topic:)
Actually I never understood what was so special about them
I wouldn't care one way or another if I never heard another Beatles song again
Ahhhh, but he IS special!

I never took any special courses, but I had
worked a total of almost 15 years in a hospital, first in billing, where we had to code all the diagnoses and ops ourselves, and then in another hospital in rehab, where part of my duties were transcription for that dept and some of their various clinics. After my second child was born, I quit the hospital and a friend who had 20 years in transcription taught me what I needed to learn. I got hired by one of the first company's I applied with, and have been doing this for seven years now, and love what I do!
The one by me is having an anniversary special -sm
I believe it is 1 year since they opened up. $29 a month, and the normal $149 membership fee is discounted to $49 ($100 off) for the first 100 that sign up this month. So I figured that is a good deal, plus my neighbor and I will support each other. She is very competitive so she will keep us both going. They have monthly contests there as well. I am planning to go either this afternoon to check it out or go with her tonight and sign up. I need to lose this weight before it starts affecting my health in any major ways (get out of breath with minimal exertion though) but that will not last. Plus I'd love to go up to my dad's at Christmas and be 40+ pounds lighter, I'd still be overweight but I know I'd look a lot better.
Well aren't you special!!

Ask for special file
IE 7 treats the Clipboard differently. So you need a new ProdList.dat file
It is now available for all registered Instant Text users. Please email support@textware.com

My method, nothing special...sm
I like to look at the previous line I typed as I go, just to make sure. At the end of the report, I go up to the top of the report, glossing over to catch anything else that might not have caught my eye the first time. I feel better about it when I send it off. My expansions have gotten me in trouble before so want to make sure I don't see anything strange. I think that's what makes us specialists, not just typists:-)
Need special equipment
I did some overflow for a company that did this and it was terribly hard to hear, reception was very poor. But I do know that you need to play the tapes onto the digital player or whatever it is called and then download to your computer, upload to the FTP site. And the sound quality is not good at all, at least to me it wasn't. But good luck.
You MUST have a special pedal sm
My Infinity won't work with it and no, you can't use another player for the voice.
startstop.com, I believe it is, has a dedicated Inscribe pedal for $98. Don't get the system thingy, just the pedal. I just ordered mine, btw.
My verdict is still out on Inscribe and I think I'll like it better when I get my pedal.
You can have one built special for you
at any computer tech store. I ended up getting a refurbished laptop on ebay that had XP on it and got Word 2003 for only $39. I did buy a 2-year warranty on teh laptop, but even with that it was cheaper than buying a new one and having to have Vista deleated and adding XP and all the new drivers.
Saw part of a special on E-Bay last night...
One couple selling movies - I believe their yearly income last year was over 600,000... I didn't see enough to find out where they got the movies to sell, but obviously a very lucrative business. Started out as sideline, man quit his full time job and has built a whole storage building on his land in order to house their supply. I really would love to know how to do that!
Frank's special place.
Isn't he cute? He bought all of us chapsticks and a key chain. I think that is so sweet. He likes me the best of all his 10,000 transcribing chicks though.
I watched a special on TV last night
about outsourcing to India and how much they are gaining financially from this situation. It showed some of the girls out shopping in nice malls buying three and four pairs of shoes at a time. Wish I could just buy one pair!! Bring our work back home!!!
Office of Special Investigation
It is the military equivalent to the FBI.
Does it get lonely in your special little world?
Did I tell you I won the lottery and won $3567 million?
Have to agree with this poster. Nothing special! (nt)
Nightline had a special last night
on hospital infections and stated that basically, because of poor sterile technique by the hospital and hospital personnel, more than 80,000+ people would die this year from this condition.
The cost of taking care of one of these infections, caused by the hospital itself, is horrendous, well over $100,000 if you have to have an infected surgical wound treated surgically again. I finished my IV wonder drugs, not sure what that cost will be yet from the pharmacy and home health care, but I know that 1 vial of medicine used to unclog my IV was $800. My 10 day supply of Zyvox was $1100. I also had 14 days of IV Zyvox twice a day and 14 days of IV Levaquin once a day, so you can imagine what my bill is going to run. I will also have an addition bill from the anesthesiologist, the surgeon, the infectious diseases doctor, the hospitalist, radiologist, and who knows who else.
I really think the cheapo hospitals could dig up another few cents a line that could be paid directly to the MTs rather than cutting our rates all the time.
Patti - special thanks for all the tax info
I paid a lot of attention to your posts this year as I worked as an employee, an IC and a SE. I submitted my tax return yesterday using TurboTax and my total federal tax for the year was - cough, sputter - $281, or 0.061% of my income. I have already been notified the IRS accepted the return and will receive my refund by DD next week. 
I just wanted to send up a special thank you to your valuable contribution to the board! 
special thanks for that info, as it applies to my situation!

No way. I would run group homes for special needs folks and

Hershey's Special Dark syrup on top of
bananas has been doing it for me lately. Yummmmmmmmm! 
A very valuable tip on special key entries for Shorthand (SM)
Whenever you need to insert a special key for a function, such as the combination key for bolding, underlining, etc., do it the "easy way"
In the shorthand dictionary screen, where you are entering the expansion of your term, just press control+K
A cute little box will show up and tell you that the next key you press will be put into the shorthand box. So, press control+b and a screen pops up to verify if you want it to be control+b, ALT+b, or shift+b. It works with all other special combinations, as well.
Allowing some docs to have special things done.
How, when we do so many docs, are we supposed to remember that Dr. Ego wants his 5-line signature block? Yes, I put it in the expander, but anyone else I just put their name and department in a letter signature block. Little things like that ruin a good account.
