Love the snow flakes falling on this page!

This was sent out to Atlanta
employees, not personalized to one MT.
Any Atlanta MTs?
I am getting so frustrated with this office.  The supervisors have turned into a bunch of robots.  The only explanation you can get for what is going on is "I don't know, that is just what they told me to tell you."  Who is THEY?  Why are statutory employee being allowed over time and the full time employees are NOT allowed over time?  What is going on here?  Why has the whole atmosphere and morale changed?  I don't mind typing the crappy accounts or working the crappy hours, but I will not be treated like a no count and be told things on a need to know basis.  I just don't understand... and who is over the Regional MT Manager??

I want snow, if only for a day, we never get any!

Snow
I live in Massachusetts and we have just about 12 inches of snow on the ground right now. Yay....
snow
Ohhh...I miss MA and NH so much! Moved back home to OK in 2001. Just had a good ice storm the last 3 days with snow forecast for the weekend..a whopping 2-5 inches (whah...paralyzed everybody!) Sure did love the sledding up there!! Loved it ALL and sure miss it!!
Snow
It's beautiful here in Massachusetts right now, but preety cold. The kids are hoping for a snow day tomorrow! Me too!
Snow
We got almost a foot in Western Massachusetts and a Noreaster is on its way! Very pretty for sure. My children were hoping for a snow day today, no such luck. Maybe Monday!
no snow :)
I used to live up north and I am quite happy without ever having snow again.  I love the snow we had last year 1 day which was just a tracing and by 10:00 it was summer again :)  I heard we may get a little dusting this week.
Oh, no, where are the Atlanta accounts going?

DSG in Atlanta, GA is still hiring I believe nm
 
When he performs in Atlanta....sm

the shows are reported to be fabulous.  The crowd does tend to have more openly homosexual couples in attendance.


I got my brother and his partner 2 tickets 4 years ago and by a stroke of incredible luck by being in the right place at the right time they ended up having them upgraded to front row center tickets - which he now has framed and on the wall of his house. 


I took the Amtrak from Atlanta, GA
I got wireless internet via Verizon before I left. I had to have an air cared. There was even an outlet on the train so I didn't have to worry about using up my laptop battery. Many hotels claim to have wireless internet however, I was happy that I had my connection via Verizon. I spent 7 days in New York last summer, my 8-year-old and I, and was able to log in early morning to get my work done. We still had lots of time to see the sights.
I live in Atlanta
I would appreciate if you would email me their name. I am an MTSO in the Atlanta area and certainly don't want to take on an unsavory doc.
Live in Atlanta 2.

I thought about getting my own accounts so would love to know who they are as well so that I can avoid them.  I left my e-mail. 


Sorry this happened to you but this is one of several reasons I have waited so long to get my own accounts.


thanks.


Anyone live outside Atlanta-sm

Considering relocating there and wondered if anyone had any input.  Specifically the Gainesville area.  Thanks


Metro Atlanta
Most of these are local docs that are not my accounts. The offices are paying 12-13 cpl for gross lines. I also transcribe for a small company in another state (the 8 cpl account). I do feel lucky to have found these accounts. In addition, some of my work comes from a midsized national and is paid at 7.5 cpl for 65-character lines. I continue this work because it is the easiest work I have, so I probably average about the same as the others (although as mentioned previously, the others are clinic work and easy too)
Hope you are not in Atlanta
because going to small claims does not mean you get your settlement. You might win the case but you are told up front up to you to collect- I won but the person has never paid, 3 years ago, $2,000.00.
Are you in Atlanta where Clark is
or do you just know about him. Clark, for the people not knowing, is a millionare but a cost-cutter and a half! He could sit back and just rake in more money but a true advocate. He takes calls here in the city and his question is usually "How can I be of service to you." He pinches pennies in his own life, talks about shopping at the box stores, Costco and such. I really admire him as a person- lots of people want him to run for some sort of office as in mayor, governor, etc. and I would definitely second that.
I am a little south of Atlanta
probably about 20 miles or so, used to live right in Atlanta but the living where I am very, very reasonable now. What part of NC to be so expensive?
Snow in Colorado
It snows more up north than it does out on the southeastern plains near Pueblo. I live there. We really need snow and some moisture. It's been like that for 5 or more years.
? For Snow Bunny
Somewhere on the board, I read that you mentioned a website www.productivity.com.  I keyed that in and good a website for some kind of tool manufacturer.    Could you double check the addy for the website - I can use all the help I can get to get my counts up. 
SNOW BUNNY NEED YOUR

help.  Now have involuntary jerking of hands and will be typing and hands just collapse downward.  Is there a program that we can talk into and it will type the words for us?  Please send me an email if you know of such a thing.


Snow Bunny - yes!
All the great classics! You ROCK, Mellencamp or not!

I am not on a high horse and I have no idea how on earth why you are so angry that I am happy to have a job for the rest of my working life. My post was merely made to share with others who have not experienced VR yet that it is nothing to be afraid of. Your tirade is completely inappropriate and off the mark.

I work in a very large teaching and research hospital where they dictate over the phone lines - they don't have the time to customize the VR and what we get in this hospital probably isn't as clean as what you get from a clinic or a hospital with a more stable dictating population.

I enjoy doing it and it entertains me to see how the computer prints out things phonetically.

You should consider another user name - bunnies are nice and snuggly - might I suggest Rabid Rabbit?
Okay, I think I know what snow bunny is saying
It doesn't seem like all opinions are welcome.  Someone protested about the fact they do not celebrate Christmas, and then we are bombarded with Merry Christmas all over the place..obviously trying to "stir things up."  Last week someone posted the word "God" in a non-religious tone, someone complained, and then someone posted "God" to try to stir things up, then that one gets erased.  Why are you picking and choosing, I know you're the owner, but as the owner aren't you supposed to be neutral? 
Snow Bunny-I need you....

would you please email me? i was wondering if you could help me with dns, i have questions about dns and working in templates.  it seems that you've had great luck with this product so i was hoping that you might know how to guide me.  TIA!!!!


How many of those outsourced MTs have even seen snow??

Snow bunny is the one to ask on this - sm
she uses it and swears by it, but I know she stresss training and a good mic. I have the DVR Medical V.8, but I have been too lazy to train it and use it consistently. Plus I am not sure it would work for me except for a few doctors I do as I would have to do a lot of copy and pasting if I used it (use WP5.1) in WP11. My WP5.1 macros don't work in the WP format even in the blue window which stinks. If I could use them I would use it in a heart beat as I think it would be faster for me in the long run, but this is beside the point. If you do decide to try it buy the right one, the medical one is what you would want. I got mine on ebay for abour $300 (which I resold), then bought the upgrade for $150. So I spent about $200 for my whole set up. So you can buy it relatively cheaply if you look. Good luck.
No snow here...and happy!!
Lived up north, moved south and am quite happy. I do miss it at Christmas time though
thanks so much snow bunny-


Here's a sad story from Atlanta today....sm

A couple left their 2-year-old son with friends while they were at the hospital having their 2nd child last night.  The 2-year-old somehow or another got out of the apartment of the friends he was left in, wandered into a road and was hit by a car.  The car didn't stop and when the friends he was left with discovered him missing at 4 a.m. they called the police.  Searches found the boy critically injured by the side of the road and he subsequently died a few hours later at the children's hospital. 


I can't even begin to imagine the grief of the couple having a baby the same day their child is killed.  


The police are working hard to identify the vehicle that hit the child as there are car parts left around.  I hope they find that person!


I wouldn't be surprised. He is definitely from Atlanta.

Amherst, I am out of the Atlanta Office

In the Atlanta area there are a good many....sm

female construction workers and female home/buisness builders... and they're usually not gay.


You should probably let Atlanta know about that. Maybe it is from people upgrading or something.

Around the Atlanta area there's an organization ....sm
called BuyOwner and you pay a flat fee for whatever services you want, and it's a lot cheaper than using a full-fledged agent. The people who live across the road from me got a contract on their house within 3 days of listing with them and I've known others with similar results.

The first thing you need to do is make sure you have your expectations realistic. Research what similar homes are selling for in your area. Clean up and declutter as much as possible. Get those closets pretty empty to make them appear to have more space - same for all rooms in the house. If the rooms haven't been painted in a while spring for some fresh paint - be sure to choose neutral colors like white or off-white. Clean the carpet. Keep the yard trim and put in fresh flowers. Keep some of the air freshners that send out a scent every few minutes going through the house to keep it fresh smelling. Go ahead and on the for sale sign in the yard list the price - Good Morning America's report last week said this helps a lot as it lets people know right off hand if it's priced in the budget they're looking at. Doing so will also keep folks from swiping fliers you may set out because they're interested in finding out the price.

As far as realtors go, ask for recommendations from friends and neighbors who have used one. Let the realtors know that you expect them to aggressively push your home sale, i.e. talk it up with other realtors, put signs up everyone they can, etc. Ask them what their plan is for selling your home. Make sure pictures taken of your house for show on the internet show the best angle possible of rooms - 70% of people now look on-line before going to see homes so you want your home to catch their attention.

As far as the realtor that posted below to always use a realtor - I say that if you find one you're comfortable with then sign up. Definitely don't do just the "FSBO sign" in the yard and ad in the newspaper if you're serious about selling, but there are ways to get the word out without paying the high commissions that are worth a try. Signing with an agent doesn't guarantee you'll sell the home quickly.

Good luck out there!
fortunately no, not a lot of snow days, but...
this school "year" we have a week off every dagum month! Except for Oct and March, I think. I feel that we are progressing towards the same year round schedule as the other poster...nine weeks on, two weeks off, etc.  Which I don't know if I'll like or not.  I have a 6 YO son and he needs the structure, schedule, etc.  Not two weeks or a week off every time we turn around.  Their first week off is Sep 5-9! How crazy is that.  A week off a month after school starts.  But, I don't make the rules, I just have to adjust to them.  Bon voyage, summer!
Snow, they are totally different classifications.

Thanks Snow Bunny, I'll do that
And yes I do use an ergonomic keyboard, but it just seems the longer I do this, the less I can get done in a day because I can hardly type after 5-6 hours.

sleet and snow in texas!
what a nice change.  We went from 88 to 20 degrees, it's awesome!
snow would be the deal breaker for me
I like to see it snow here about once a year and then I want it to be gone after a day or so. This past winter we barely got a few flakes. It was actually too warm most of this winter, even for me. I love the spring and fall in NC. Starting to get some really warm days now though.

Oh, and love me some sweet tea. Don't think I could live without that! Bojangles sweet tea is the best!!!
yes, Snow Bunny, I don't have a clue what
your point is.  Explain, please.
