MT - CNN says hot job 12/27/08 Did you guys here CNN -jobs to go into
This morning 12/27/08 CNN had some economic expert on there telling people about the HOT JOBS that will be secure.  First one he said Medical Transcription.  He said 18,000 MTs will be hired a year.  Where is he getting this info?  Just thought you guys might be interested.  I find that questionable.  What do you guys think?
Think it has to do with # of users on the system, too. Dicating, printing the jobs, MTs working, et

not a bit homophobic. love queer guys for straight guys.
these guys are clever and witty and have good taste.  they are who they are.  not a problem.  i have problems with boy-men who are currently trendy now.  that's my taste.  and it's kind of scary that women are attracted to these unisex boy-men culturally. no big deal unless you make it one.  this is a board to exchange ideas right?
desperately need help
Can anyone give me some insight into how to handle a company that continuously does not pay on time and now is refusing to tell me the status of recent payroll.  I have resigned from this company and am now working for another, but the lack of the currnet paycheck is going to put me with no power and now phone.  I need some serious advise asap.
Why is it that the more desperately you need your paycheck,
the later the mailman is delivering?

Desperately need debt consolidation help.
Can anyone recommend a reputable debt consolidation service that they have used to help successfully get them out of debt?  I just want to break down and cry, but we have to do something as our credit card debt/medical bills are through the roof and unmanagable due to tough times findings jobs, etc.  Thank you for any advice you can give.
How do you go wireless in a motel and as one said, in the car? Desperately need to know.

They are trying desperately to balance their runaway budget
Have you heard about the new naturalization process aimed at 11 million illegals in the country... along with some hoops to jump through (Learning English - ???) etc., they must pay 2000 dollars.

Do the math 11 million x 2000
its not a lot but its something
Desperately seeking psych trans job from home

I agree. Bean-counters desperately wanting to believe the exaggerated claims for SR make them easy

supposed to be, after people lose their jobs, they are forced to take part-time, lower-paying jobs..
with little to no benefits. service jobs. where are you going to work in a few years, when Medical Transcription is replaced by technology? McDonald's, Walmart? you really going to like that?

I did 3 jobs for a while about 3 years ago, you burn out quick, I was doing 3 MT jobs though...after
10 months I cut down to 2 as I don't like to have all my eggs in one basket.  But I am considering going down to 1 in September for my sanity, its a good steady job so financally it should not be an issue.  I have 2 right but have not worked the 1 in about 3 weeks due to some problems at their end, supposed to learn a VA account but not sure if I want to pursue it right now or not, they are waiting to hear from me at this point. I still have a lot going on with chemo, etc. so am mulling things over.  But if you have a full-time day job, then I would just go with 1 part-time MT job at night, unless 1 is during the week, and the other weekends only, then of course you will be working 7 days a week, very tiring I know.  I have been working 7 days a week for 3 years now but I do slack off now and then of course to recharge and get sleep etc. But burnout happens fast and I doubt you want to lose your day job so be careful. Good luck.
Two jobs very common, 3 jobs not unheard of.

Yup! Not only short jobs, but also jobs from
extremely difficult dictators, bad sound files, jobs that need lots of ADT info added, and anything else that is not "easy" to do. I also questioned them about this and was told the same - they do not allow cherrypicking. Definitely not true!
WOW.. you guys should all get together....sm

and contact the Dept of Labor.  If they were stupid enough to put their broken promises in writing, you have every right to start a lawsuit.  We all have complaints about different companies, but what they've done is downright illegal !!!


I am sure you guys are right,
evil MQ is at it again. That must be it. LOLOL! It never ends, and yet you continue to stay there.
The spy guys in Mt. Dew ad...sm
Last year we went to a sports bar, and about 30 of them came in dressed up! The women were dressed as the white spy and men were dressed as the black spy. Mountain Dew got the idea from Mad magazine. You can probably do a Google search to see what they look like. There isn't much to the costume. I suppose someone made it for them.
how about these guys?
has anyone ever heard anything about peachtree, x-press transcription, or all-med radiology transcription?
Thanks guys. I don't know what it is
Especially this year, i'm just feeling blue and usually I can yank myself out of it.  I've always hesitated taking herbs, and I think i'll just keep that on the shelf for now.  That light thing i'm going to try, thank you for the suggestion.  I might need to go into talk to someone too and get my meds balanced out because i'm just diagnosing myself and getting the meds off line.  Probably anti-anxiety meds cause a little depression since it brings you "down" and my anxiety level is through the roof the last couple years so i've been medicating that.    Thanks again guys.
Thanks guys......
All very nice comments - thanks guys!! We would not want to feel we were stealing work from you.....
You guys are definitely right.
I need to get out more.  I'm just having a hard time lately.  My daughter is finally in first grade, I had been trying to work things out with her father and of course it didn't.  I did try online dating, but so far either I don't like them or they don't like me.  That's the worst thing about this job.  I do need to get out more.  I went to a kid's birthday party today and was talking to a father there.  I don't know if he was single or not, but it was just getting used to talking to people.  Thanks for the advice.  Home Depot is cheaper than dating services anyways! 
Thanks you guys, I'm going to try these
I was up until 5:00 a.m. downloading and scanning with programs just to find out they were not free and then I'd have to start all over trying another one.  The free ones have not been successful at removing Dealhelper yet....hopefully one of these will work!  Thanks so much!!!!!
Wow, I'm not too far from you guys...

Thank you guys!!!!!
Hi again and thank you all for the input.  I had pretty well decided to not mention anything about the cost of printing, but just wanted to get some opinions here.  Patti, I have several accounts that I type for, but have never had any ask for both digital copy and paper copy, so that's why I asked (didn't know what other people do).  I am an IC so I'll just write it off with my other expenses and, oh yeah, I bought my own computer too.
Boy, you guys will never get over

That's what cracks me up


Thanks guys! That is exactly
what I needed!
Thanks guys.:)
nm
what do you guys think?
I hate reading how some are not getting paid for the hardwork we do. Do you think if we started reporting these companies to the local news that helps the battered consumer it would help? Maybe at least give them some bad coverage. Maybe even contact the local news where the company is located.
Thanks you guys!!!

Come on GUYS!!!
Please, please, please help me out here!!! I need some advice.

Ok, so I work in-house at my local hospital. I get paid a decent wage by the hour. We get annual raises and cost of living raises. However, I have been put in charge of transitioning all of our clinics to a new dictation/transcription system and have been meeting with all of the doctors, setting up templates, meeting with the product vendors and deciding how we want to go about implementing the new system. In addition to this I have been making my minimum line count EVERY DAY. My question is...Should I ask for a raise in pay since I am doing all of this extra work for the hospital even when I have been getting annual and cost of living raises anyway? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!

and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. 


A lot of my weight problem is medical, but I think more so is my emotional state.  I have a very emotionally abusive husband.  He rides me all the time about my weight.  When I was thinner (wearing a size 7 - - now wearing a size 28), he would badger me then about my weight.  It got to where I was sneaking food and of course what happened?  Now it is even worse.  I try, I really do.  I am definitely an emotional eater though. 


My husband rode me and rode me and TOLD ME to get the bypass surgery.  I had everything set up (this was about 5 years ago) with the surgeon who brought bypass to the United States.  I felt totally comfortable with him, and to top it off he is my regular physician!  Then my husband totally freaked and said that with MY LUCK, something would go wrong and he would be stuck with an invalid for a wife, and DEMANDED  that I not do it.  So, here I am - - a total of 160 pounds overweight -- and need to lose 70 of it by the end of February to have insurance.  I get so depressed sometimes that I do not even want to get out of bed.


I am going to look into Alli and the liquid diet mentioned.  I really appreciate your help and suggestions. 


I definitely think I need a support group, but I don't know who that would be.   


Anyway, I am going to look into these things.  I think I will try the liquid diet and see how it works. 


AGAIN, THANK YOU!


 


 


 


Thanks guys!

I really am starting to feel better about it now.  My biggest fear was that my company wouldn't wait for me to get better.  I don't mind doing the hard work, putting in more time, researching blanks, listening over and over and over, as long as they don't mind getting many blanks for a while ;)


I guess only time will tell. Thank you for the encouragement!


Don't know about you guys,

but I seem to operate about 90% on 'muscle memory' , which is why changing accounts is such a problem for me. 


I learned to type in high school which was a loooong time ago.  So after 40+ years of period-space-space I'm supposed quit it because some dilbert decides so?  If this becomes a QA issue, it might be the hill I choose to die on. 


Thanks guys!

for the feedback and encouragement.  Cranky, I started off on a typewriter too, many moons ago :-)!  I will keep plugging away at it. 


By the way Cranky, what in the world is in the picture.  I have looked and looked at it and I cannot figure out what is in your picture - lol!


 


Thanks guys! It's just hard. . .sm

Very small neighborhood.  Houses are very close together.  We've lived here almost 7 years and we all know each other and chat and the neighbors help each other out, no matter what. 


These people just scare me because everything is drawn up tight and the "skinny" woman of the house seems very nervous.  I've only seen her "husband" once and he looks as if he may be the thing that makes her afraid.


I have gotten to the point, however, where I will make some phone calls.  The poor dog finally stopped barking, but my daughter went out back with her friends to swim in the pool (behind an 8 foot stockade fence) and all you can hear is "yap, yap, yap."


Geeeeeesh.


regarding the hot guys post below (sm)
One man that has definitely aged well is John Travolta.  He is sooo sexy!
Can you guys say who these companies are? Thx. nm

You guys are awesome. Thank you!!!

You guys are pathetic
Can we just wait until we get the darn packet before we start crying like babies -ENOUGH ALREADY!
do you guys think it would be easier on the

To work a split shift, example 6-10 n then 3-7, OR would it be less painful to get it all done at once so you have more time to rest fully?  My hands kill me constantly.  I've tried everything.  Don't want to be in more pain if the split would end up being worse.  Thanks.


You guys crack me up
Come on now, cottage cheese is not very inventive, but it is a good suggestion. The bell pepper thing sounded great too, but feeding too many kids for that to go over well I think. Maybe a Ceasar sald and bread with it is all I really need. Don't cook for people very often.
You guys are actually taking this???????
nm
Come on, guys - surely someone can
I'm really wanting to know!
guys don't yell at me, but do you need to get a
business license of some sort or inc. yourself before starting?  I've never thought of it from the "owner" aspect before.  at what point do you stop being an ic and become a business?
i agree with you guys...
they don't care about MT and what's good for the field-just bringing in dues-everything is about money and not doing what is good for the mt as a unit.  sure seems like they're on this board more than normal.  might be time for me to find another mt board to visit----have any suggestions??? like you said, if i was interested in what they have to say i'd be on that site, which i'm not.  that must be why they are polluting other boards since not enough people visit their board!  
do you guys think merideth and
mcdreamy will get together now?
