Examples of flyers

Which ones, give some examples..... [2009-05-09]
We are NOT talking about TYPOS here, there is a difference between TYPOS and not knowing the right spelling. You should know the DIFFERENCE ! Give some examples of posts with wrong SPELLING, IF YOU CAN!

Which ones, give some examples..... [2009-05-09]
We are NOT talking about TYPOS here, there is a difference between TYPOS and not knowing the right spelling. You should know the DIFFERENCE ! Give some examples of posts with OH, SOOO TERRIBLE SPELLING. These are mostly just typos. I noticed that there are a lot of matron-MTs who have NO, absolutely no idea where to put commas, so that I was pondering if they have a keyboard without a comma key. Example: MT way tooooo long and others too.

naming macros [2009-06-23]
My biggest problem seems to be how to name the macro. Can you give examples of how you name them? I have Instant Text.

Depends on how they want to handle it. [2009-06-15]
I work for a national, but I also still have one local client, for whom I am an IC. I am paid by the word, actually, because when I started there, I was using WordPerfect for DOS (yes, I've been there for a LONG time!) and it had only a word count, not a character count. I ran some numbers, and I COULD switch over and bill by the line... but why bother? They're used to paying for words, not lines, and it's a wash. I do pick up and deliver--but I have figured that into my rate, and I actually enjoy going down there and harassing the doctor, when I can catch him. And it's only a mile away. It might be difficult to find local work, though. Speaking strictly from my own experience, any local jobs that are left, that haven't gone the way of EMR or (gasp) offshore, tend to be held by old-timers (like me) who have been on the job for decades, and have dug in our heels and can't be dislodged, short of their having to carry us out feet-first. But it's possible, if you know the people in the community. I got my current local gig because a doc I had worked for before got in an associate to share office space, and the office manager knew me and my work, and TOLD the new guy who his Transcriptionist was going to be. So if you know any local office managers, be sure and let them know you are available and interested. I also once made up a bunch of flyers and took a walk up and down Pill Hill and spoke to every office manager I could find. No luck at the time; although much, much later, when I had no room to take on any more work, I did get a couple of nibbles which I had to turn down.

AAMT/AHDI is the the same organization, and it - [2009-06-04]
has played the largest part in lowering MT standards and MT pay. They claim it's been 'raised' by their attempts at standardizing all MT work, and by offering bogus 'CMT' credentials, but all it's done is backfire for the American MT. We paid our US Dollars for these credentials, (at a higher rate than the Indians, I might add). AAMT/AHDI's power grew stronger as the duped more and more medical establishments to do things their way, due to the cut rates they were getting from national MTSO's who were in bed with AAMT/AHDI, and sending more and more of their work to India. That in turn has decimated American MT wages. I know of few (if ANY) other companies, other than those who are facing bankruptcy, that are paying workers less and less each year. The MT business is alive, well and growing, but each year its workers see less and less in the way of compensation for a job well done. It can't go on forever. Eventually they're going to hit the zero-point. Then what? Maybe we'll pay THEM for the 'privilege of doing MT work? It's imperative that MTs start getting in touch with each other. Their co-workers, MTs they meet online, MTs who work at other companies. It's time to start comparing notes, and start coming up with a plan. Regardless of whether it's a walkout, a sickout, a letter-writing or phone campaign, posters, flyers, radio time, or an ad in the newspaper, the more people that contribute, even a tiny contribution in the way of time, skill, or just their own voice, the better our chances are of still turning this thing around before we all become extinct.

This isn't about symantecs...sm [2009-05-23]
I don't know how this is even debatable. Whether we like it or not, the phrase, single mother, implies to the majority several connotations: 1. At least one child is involved. (That's a fact). 2. She is overwhelmed with the responsibility to support her family because she is the sole breadwinner. One person working is a phrase I've never even heard used before probably because it is so vague. It doesn't say anything. Here are two examples of 1 person working. I could go on and one, but why? Examples: 1. My 18-year-old cousin, who has a job, lives at home, goes to college, and is having an absolute blast. She has no bills and has her whole life ahead of her. 2. Barack Obama, first African-American President of the USA. Do you see where I am coming from at all? If you can't, I don't know what else to tell you. It is what it is.

Expanders [2009-05-17]
Do you have any examples in particular? I know transcriptionists who refuse to use Expanders but they do know about them. I personally can't imagine anyone wanting to transcribe without expanders, but it happens. My fastest Transcriptionist was one who used only a smattering of expanders. I like to think he would have been even faster had he used more...but he was never comfortable with them.

you checked for two days May 8 and 9? This is only May 8 today! sm [2009-05-08]
I am talking overall. I check the word boards every day and I help those that actually need help. The examples I posted are examples in the past. By the way I am not your dear! Maybe you are one of the ones that don't look up things either and that is the reason it bugs you so badly.
