Sour grapes
x
LOL, I will not be the only one that "sound sour grapes"
I type radiology now and work for a wonderful smaller company locally in Wyoming.
A few sour grapes won't ruin the whole jar of jelly.
;)
Not sour grapes - We recorded the game
and have watched those plays more than a few times.

Especially the one where he was CLEARLY NOT over the line with the ball, only his shoulders and HE KNEW IT. He looked RIGHT at the camera as if to say, "Am I gonna get away with this"?

The ball was far too low underneath him to be even close to his head. Watch the replay and see for yourself.

I will admit it. I cried. Cried like a baby! I (sniff) still (sniff) can't.... talk about it much. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
obviously you're not full of sour grapes...nm

sour grapes, dearie? Oh, i forgot, you

Phil IS sour grapes....called that on TV...nm

that is correct, LOL. Sour grapes from me I guess. LOL. nm
.
Addendum- that should have been sour grapes, not green!
NM
If that is your typical attitude, well...I think we all understand now.
Wishing you peace and the very best of luck.
i'm not angry at all. i am amused at the attitude of some know-it-all poster who thinks they kno
and posts an essay on it and Oh If Only They Would Listen I Have All The Answers essay. Too funny. Actually hilarious!
Angry? Maybe make your own life better and you'll be surprised
Losers blame other people.

Successful people take responsibility for their own lives.
Questions like the one quoted SHOULD make people angry.
There's a difference between needing help with something difficult, and asking a question that NOBODY who is working as an MT should have to ask. If you can't figure that word out or find the answer yourself, you shouldn't be working as an MT. Period.
people with that attitude of ungratefulness is why a lot don't get anything these days. sm
be thankful you got something. i have done the same as you for 2 MTSOs and get nothing. i thought it was the thought that counts right?
I cannot stand the attitude some people have toward raising children!
They don't have to be put in daycare either.

I would say people with this kind of attitude usually don't have children and therefore don't believe in the power moms have to get it ALL done. Just because this is not the situation you find yourself in does not mean it cannot be done! Open your eyes and get with the program - we ARE doing it and doing it WELL - like it or not!
Well, John Maxwell will tell you that attitude not knowledge is what keeps most people afloat. From
check out of her hand without thanking her for paying your bills for the lasft 5 years, then you could probably guess that she won't be calling you back even if it doesn't work out.

You have to be positive about everything. You may have been a "great, dependable worker," but if your attitude "stunk" then honestly, that just doesn't matter. I'm sorry. Been there done that. Know this to be quite true.
change attitude, change life
The first thing you need to change is that defeatist attitude! I know that's hard at times like this, but that's when you need to most.
I won't go into detail, but my financial situation is also at an all-time low, we couldn't even exchange gifts., daughter in hospital twice, & no med insurance)..but then I heard about how much worse things were for others around me this season. Now I'm thankful instead!
LOL. Some people take life so hard.

Wonder what happens when something really bad happens to them.


Yup, it's fact of life when people are paid on production..SM
I hate cherrypickers too, but part of me wonders from a devil's advocate point of view, what if everyone just refused to do the crappy dictators? Maybe they'd be forced to clean up their act. Because when you get right down to it, CRAPPY DICTATORS are the main problem causing cherrypicking, NOT the MT.
Just so everyone know, I can ill afford 50.00 but that is what life is about, helping people (inside
I have no family, just 2 pets. I am probably going to be out of a job soon myself, but if I cannot help someone else then my days are numbered. $50.00 will not kill me. It is pointless to say she should have been prepared, evidently she was, she HAD insurance. If I can make anyones load a little lighter I can live on that at least 6 months. To know you are not alone in this world might keep someones hope to keep on keeping on just one more day, then my moral values have been enlightened. The key word is "morals."

I think sometimes we are getting as cruel and thougtless as the companies who want profits at any cost. They are teaching us that. We seem to be learning well by some of the posts to this person's dilemna. I for one am not going blind yet, although my mother did right before her death and it broke my heart as she loved to read.

"Compassion," what happened to that? So far at 63 I am still healthy. I have no insurance, I cannot afford $500 a month, but I can still offer help to a fellow human being.

Merry Christmas and to all a good night.
I don't know! I've heard people live longer with a healthy sex life.

and vice versa - the people acting like a big city life consists of living in a ghetto

Don't listen to the old sour apples...

However, if you are starting from scratch with no medical background and no training in transcription, you are 2-3 years from making ANY kind of money even IF you can find a job at home.  It's like learning another language, the language of medicine.  If you already have a medical background and have taken terminology, a way to more quickly get into the business would be to find a single doctor doing one specialty, saying the same thing over and over.  However, if you're inexperienced it might be hard to get a doctor to trust you with his transcription.  I don't know anything about your situation, so it's hard to answer.  Any more info?


Hey, I think you coined a new phrase, green grapes. Love it!!
Happy New Year!!
Life is life....the haven't bonded the same as if it were a 2-year-old!

Sweet and Sour Soup, Potstickers, Mandarine Salad, Beef and Broccoli.
Gotta love him.
Grilled steak with salsa, broccoli and baked potatoes with sour cream -- One of my favs!
nm
Not at all typical!
nm
Typical....

Your bad behavior has to be tolerated  and  the heck with everybody else.  Another example of bad manners.


That's typical VR
I promise this was an actual sentence. The doctor dictated, "This is Dr. Wilson Period." Of course, we know that should be plugged into the demographics screen.

What VR transcribed was, "This is Dr. Wilson Perianal."

LOL. Yeah, one day it will be perfect. That's funny!!!
I don't have a typical day, one day I can do 2500

lines in about 12 hours and another day I'm lucky to get 1000 in 8 hours.   I have an expander, have a few templates but don't get those dictators on a regular basis.  I do NOT have to enter any demographic information or look up addresses, etc.   I  work in batches, don't have to save each report separately.  I have enough experience that I rarely have to work up anything, but also will spend 30 minutes searching for something rather than leave a blank.  


I get up frequently.  I try to apply myself for at least a good hour or more and then take a short break.  My feet swell really bad and I'm getting butt spread so I try to get up and move around.  I never thought I was a particularly fast typist, but did the time clock thing and found that I was averaging 270+ lines/hour.  Some days I work 6 hours/day, some days 8 to 10.  I may have a superduper day where I make 3000 lines/day, but the next day I only do 1000, because I just can't routinely do 3000 lines/day and have a life.


The thing that has helped me most is limiting my time on-line and having my e-mail so that I can't see/hear when a new one comes up so I don't stop typing and check e-mail. 


I routinely do 85+% ESL, but maybe once a month get a day where I have lots of normals and that spoils you. 


But this is not your typical dictation

I usually do 30 minutes in 45 minutes to an hour also but this is something completely different and it almost gets to the point you pull your hair out when you cannot hear what they are saying during this meeting or several talk at once, etc.  So you cannot use this rule of thumb -- believe me I have been there many times.


Again I would guess between 8 to 12 hours and feel good if you get it done in 8.


Typical media; what do they know.
nm
Yep, but that's typical for a national.

QA typical per line pay

I am thinking about changing over to QA but am wondering what the pay per line normally starts out at.  Can anyone give me some help. 


Sounds like a typical guy..)) n/m

I do not think that 8 hour a day supervisor is typical at all.

Typical welfare mentality, just sit with
your hand out and do nothing to help yourself. Let the taxpayers take care of you. Never take any responsibility for your own welfare or the welfare of your family, just collect the welfare bounty that everyone else pays taxes to provide. Why shouldn't people be prepared?
Typical care about no one else mentality
Typical me..me..me, dont care about the rest of the people, lock me and my family await in a gated community and who cares about anyone else mentality.  God help you if you are ever the victim of a disaster and did not have the time or money to buy supplies.  I sure hope every one around you has your attitude and you feel the pain of hunger and thirst..Hello, America, where are you?
Dottie, maybe you could take a typical page of
how much you're currently making per page on cpl basis.  If it's more than $2.50, you'll lose money working for the insurance company.
A $300+ bill is typical for us in Arizona. sm

We use the payment plan so our bill is the same every month. They average all 12 months and come up with a month payment.  Our winter bills usually would be as low as $70 if we weren't on the payment plan.


Can't live here without AC - no way, no how.


What are the typical hours for 1st, 2nd, 3rd shifts ... sm
or are they different with every company?  What is the difference in pay for 2nd and 3rd shifts?  TIA
Not typical, but does happen. Move on to

What is a typical rate for QA per line?
?
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.

As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
Interesting and typical. Accept responsibility for nothing
He's a loser
You are a hypocrit. You attack me for my position and then say you have a right to yours. Typical.
I did not attack anyone, just stated an opinion.  You have been up and down this thread attacking every single person for posting something you don't like.  Talk about pot-kettle-black.  LOL!!!  Well, my last post to you. You are seriously cyberderanged. 
No, it is not typical. Please search for a company that respects you more than that. nm

Hahah..typical male answer to me..
I had a doc dictate once that his patient was annoyed because when he had gone to the pharmacy to pick up his RX (which he didn't know was going to be called in) it was for Flagyl and not some free Vicodin, and that he wasn't going to take the Flagyl because he wasn't supposed to drink beer with it.
Typical liberal, start with the name-calling when you have nothing else
So typical, "Don't do as I do, do as I say".

Failure, uneducated, jealous, resentful, TYPICAL.
What's typical for your email addr. w/nationals? sm

Help! need info. Would like responses from multiple people please.


Just started a new job last week. Everyone I get mail from, supervisors, tech, mgmt, etc. have a  So&so@OurCompany.com type email. (I'm not saying what company), but they are having me use my personal email.


Can't help wondering if I have been singled out for some reason. I feel totally excluded.


Also, even email that is obviously addressed to a large group has only my name/email in the To: box. This seems very strange. Why would it be top secret what group/s it is to, i.e., "All MT's, Hospital XYZ group, etc.


It seems as if I'm only getting email as a blind copy from everyone. How can I figure out whether all the other MTs have So&so@OurCompany.com addresses assigned & some higher up just hates me for some reason, or whether all MTs do not get a company-assigned email address?
