Old memories

I must have a few years on you, I started on a manual typewriter....UGH!  Oh yes, those mag cards, weren't they mosters?  Older than dirt, aren't I?


Nope, MT isn't what it used to be, makes me sad.  We aren't a valuable comodity like we used to be.  There used to be a shortage of MTs but no more, there's one on every corner....they come and go...go meaning most were duped when they were promised they could make $30,000 easy the first year while bouncing their baby on their left knee.  HURUMP! I've always told people it usually takes 5 years to be really proficient.  This isn't true with everyone but I've found it to generally be true. 


Right on. Ohhhh the memories

MH? That brings back bad memories...

You just brought back a lot of memories...
I remember that as well, Boxer, that is funny and yet also a little sad that it actually seems to be really happening. who would have thought it possible in this country...

I have seen that most of my years in Medical Transcription since beginning in the hospital how administration would play women against women and just sit back and laugh about it.

AAMT was responsible for taking us out of the 'typing pool' and it is sad and 'sickening' as you mention that we are so far even beneath typing pool it is not funny
brings back old memories . . .I certainly don't miss it!!!! nm

I am one of those Transtech MT's who has good memories of the ^old^ TT, and yes it has changed

I agree with everything you posted and could add more.  TT is definitely getting ^top heavy^ in the management dept.  I hated it when this first happened.  We are so micro-managed now that it is really disgusting.  Why in the world does TT need all these leads/sups and whatever else those others in/out of the office do. 


Oh, such sweet memories of 2 years ago at TT.


Cover letters! Brings back memories!

I remember preparing my very first resume...fancy stock paper with watermark, with the obligatory short-n-sweet cover letter included, even a reference sheet if I was feeling ballsy, all mailed in a manilla envelope the same size as the paper so there were no creases!  Now everything is done electronic and it's SO impersonal!


I'm such an old fart.    


Thanks for the memories ladies. Now I remember why I loved this business.
Long gone are those happy times.
