Yesterday I spent waaaaaay too much time on these boards and not enough time on the keys. 


Will catch up on lunch and after shift.  Can't give it up totally you know.


Good luck to all  of us in the industry.  What is good today may be crap tomorrow.  We just never know.

I'm sorry-been really busy today!
I will email you in a few
Busy and happy and not here much...
just passed my first 3 months at Keystrokes....and it's STILL a great company!  And as I have lots of work, I'm not spending as much time reading the boards...  I agree with previous poster...seems like if an MT expresses that they are happy with their position, their company, or even their occupation, they open themselves up to being bashed by folks who are apparently unhappy about something.  I think this board is a great place to vent and I'm glad it's here...but at times there's a lot more bashing than support going on.
Does Happy OSI'er ever work? She is too busy posting on MTStars!

SORRY CANT TYPE TODAY NM

Yes it is! I got mine today -- think it is great. I'm happy to be part of such an amazing compa

I feel like I have FINALLY found my home.  :-)



I did that insurance stuff too. Hated it. Happy to type only 1 voice now

Busy does not mean disorganized. I would rather work for a busy company sm
than one with no work. I started with Keystrokes 3 months ago and it is the best thing I ever did. I have a steady paycheck and plenty of work.
Don't mean to butt in ....
When I got mine this past summer, the gal at Wal-Mart gladly set the whole thing up for me and I went and shopped.  I had to give her information in order to do so, but since I didn't (and still don't) want to spend time trying to figure it out, her willingness to do it was very much appreciated.
Wow. That's really beat. There's a butt for

Or - there is a seat for every butt! nm

Also I was the one who said butt kisser
to Teresa's post and I thought she was quite smug as well. One should not think that what is happening to others cannot happen to them. For someone (Teresa) who acts like they have a team attitude, you certainly do not. I do not want to read e-mails sent out from DRC managers saying that they understand people may have a financial issue with lack of work. I do not want other MTs sitting around stressing out and having a hard time.
butt in but trying not to be rude (NM)

Oh, god... not the 'NUT-BUTT' again.

SO WHO GIVES A RODENT'S BUTT IF ...sm

the MTSOs or Suits cruise these boards??   Or have we forgotten WHAT COUNTRY ARE WE LIVING IN, ANYWAY?  They don't like us networking with each other?  TOUGH!  That's just tooooo baaad; OK with me if they like it, OK with me too if they don't like it.


Of course, THEY know that WE know that they're ------g us left, right and around - naturally DON'T WANT US COMPARING NOTES - sure, keep the dimwitted MTs isolated, so we can figure out a few more ways to keep exploiting them.  Don't want them comparing notes, though, because a little light might go off in their brain, and they'll tell each other, Hey, that's not right, let's do something about it.  That's the last thing they want ... for us to unite.  Decades ago, labor union opponents (i.e., Suits) found out the hard way that THERE'S STRENGTH IN NUMBERS & IN UNITY.  Because once we MTs start becoming more proactive regarding our rights, watch out, MTSO's!

I don't care for crack (especially butt) either. nm

bird in the hand my butt sm
Do you call working for $5 an hour a bird in the hand? I was trying to be nice and give notice. I'm thrilled they said no. Now I can do whatever.......but not work as a slave. That is below minimum wage.
Gotta butt in here! Yes, the sound quality
is poor and it is the platform. I too left Transcend with the sound one issue.

I work as an IC also and the sound was excellent on my other accounts. So, it was not the sound card.

You have no affiliation with this company, so why would you even comment. The experiences of these MTs is real. I know, I've been there.

Also, what you are recruited for is not always what you get - been down that road with them also.

Very bad experience with that company and will never go back, ever!
Yeah...well, this butt wouldn't go in that seat!

Yes, she has her nose up Amit Chattergee's butt big time.
I have proof that she offshores.  I also have correspondence where she deals with Amit, owner of MTIndia.

I personally didn't like logging off to go to the bathroom or get a drink or whatever. Drove me nuts. They were too regimented for me. Not sure if you are aware they do that. Part of working at home is the flexibility and they just weren't. Good Luck
Happy New Year. May we all have happy home lives (sm)
and do whatever it takes to make our work lives work for us too. 
Sorry I got busy.
Got busy. I was going to get to it :)
busy here
Two of my accounts are super busy and two others are moderately busy.
Very busy
I work for 3 companies and 2 out of the 3 are very busy.  One is slow but I just use that money for free money.  You have to keep looking.  There are companies out there that pay their people a halfway decent salary and have work.  Am I making what I made 5-10 years ago, no, but I can pay my bills and have money leftover.  I am also looking at a fourth company to replace the slow company as I think they are probably losing the acct I am working on.  Keep looking, there is work. 
I have been as busy as I can be. There has been

overtime available the last 2 weekends and enough work in the system to not have to check back later in the evening.  If it weren't for the fact that I got the flu over New Years and it is still lingering, I could have really cleaned up


I do know somebody starting cherrypicking my primary at my last job.  I would have to sign in at midnight and hope my favorite surgeon was up late dictating to get anything remotely lucrative.  Otherwise, there would be like 40 echocardiograms in my queue.  When I asked management about that, they said the census was low.  Funny, I guess people can stop in and have an echo anytime they want as apparently no one has to admit these people or order a cardiology consult on them. 


These managers don't really get that you know your account and WORK FLOW forwards and backwards after sitting there all day, day in and day out.  I think you may be right to call that BS as I pretty much knew immediately something was going on with my account.


Busy MT'ng
Let's just hope this issue does not come if/when anyone ask you Q's during all the MQ legal issues
So busy MT'ng?
I think what some are trying to bring up is the fact that legally,if for some off the wall reason, you'd have to answer say...privacy,HIPPA whatever questions in a deposition, then you would be in breach of contract with one of your jobs.
Not sure anyone's miserable or even cares about your situation, just bringing up the obvious, which seems your way to busy patting & grooming yourself up, to worry about. Keep on with that great life!
Busy MTing
My sentiments exactly. One has to look out for themselves because God knows these companies donot look out for you Wouldn't you like to know how much the company actually gets per line plus they make all these promises to get an acccount on board and to get an MT to work there.
Busy MTing.
You are absolutely correct dear. It's no one business if you work for 10 companies. that is your perogative. More power to dear. I am on your side all athe way.
I mostly agree with you, Busy...SM
I'd really like to see some kind of seniority benefit come into play. :)
Yup, Busy. I'm not complaining, but...! NM

Is it possible their MTs are too busy working why they
That's a possibility and I do know companies who have MTs that want to keep a good thing for themselves and I can well understand it
Maybe they are just so busy and need another MT and the job posted is not yours. sm
That could be it. If you are that upset, call and ask them.

I hope things work out for you!
I agree with Busy
I agree with Busy's approach. Although I left MQ (new PS who was clueless), I did the right thing by MQ, gave them two weeks' notice, worked as hard as I could right up to the last, and sent thank you e-mails to my WFC and PS. I agree with Busy that there are many, many choices out there for many, many needs. MQ no longer met my needs, so I left them in as decent and professional a manner as I could.
I have never had low work at MDI... very busy
all the time. I guess different people have different experiences. My experience with MDI has been a great one. I really love it there and would be happy to give you more information via e-mail
Dictaphone has been busy....
and I have yet to run out of work. The only time it was slow was on the 4th of July (which is not unusual considering it was a holiday), but I have not had any problems with running out of work OR management. I've been with Medware now for almost 6 months and REALLY like it!
Maybe there busy learning their new
I think someone posted before that they were getting like 9 new accounts.  So,  maybe everyone is tied up and can't really take a coffee break.  I'd be stroking those keys too if I was making 9.5 cpl (their starting rate per one post).  I'm glad there's at least one company out there that pays well.  I really don't think though that someone working there for only three months could really have anything bad to say.  I think someone else posted that KS promises lower health insurance premiums soon so that is a good thing.  
I never stayed busy....
I worked on an ortho account and they kept running out of work, so I quit. They had way too many MTs in the typing pool. They do not assign the MTs doctors and you are in a pool so the work is on a first come first serve basis. Good luck! Not the job for me.
You must not be very busy, because you are always on this board.

My accounts at KS are very busy. nm

If you are rad, you should be busy not slow. sm
email me. I will help!
Wet noodle busy here too--sm
Yup, I did that too--beat myself up, that is.  With the exception of one dictator being a bit difficult to understand, which I would think they would take into consideration, I know there were no errors in my transcription.  I proofread and double checked everything.  So, I finally decided it was their loss.  I am definitely glad I have a job with a company I like.  I've weathered growing pains with them before as they have weathered and supported me through life changes, so I would imagine we will be okay:)
