    MDI- TL with red hair
    Just to brighten up my team leaders day here, she is the one with red hair, and she is the greatest! I don't think it's always true what they say about red heads (or blondes) !!
    pulling my hair out
    I have gone bald too from this platform. It really sucks!!!  Besides I am tired of working for pennies. 90% ESL and mostly all editing VR.  I recently started with them too and I now have my resume out in lots of different places.
    I almost threw up when I saw the hair. sM
    I still to this day don't know what kind of hair it was, nor do I want to.  The keyboard had some kind of nuts or seeds in it and I actually put it in a trash bag and put it in my garage because I was afraid roaches would come out of it or something.  Totally disgusting.  If they're not going to sanitize the equipment, they should send brand new.  I also refused to use whatever headphones they sent because they didn't look new either.  I always use my own.
    long beautiful hair
    LOL.  Anyway, I would be interested in hearing about DeVenture, also.  Are they employee or IC?
    One has red hair, one blonde, 2 brunette, 2 bald,
    they are just like the ones from any other company.
    Their platform made me want to pull my hair out!! (SM)
    I found it relied too much on the mouse. This was back in April. I would consider going back if improvements were made to their platform. Has it gotten any better? You can e-mail me if you'd prefer. TIA
    lol - hair equal hire - need my abbreviation to type

    Interesting - my birthday is Saturday and it will be even more interesting to see what this year holds.  Even with the economic mess that our country is mired in, it is a blessing for me to wake up every morning, come to work and live to see another day if God wills it.  Happy Valentine's Day to all of you and have a good weekend.


    You can rent a C-phone from them. sm
    I'm not sure about a computer rental. If your account is not on wav files, you'll have to pay long distance. There are a lot of flat rate plans through many companies.

    You can't access the patient's old files through Bayscribe.

    Pay is anywhere from 9 to 11 cpl.

    Great place to work!
    is this for rent or a deposit sm
    on tis equipment.  If this is a deposit I assume you get your money back if you leave?  If so what are they charging for month for rent?
    I would bet the rent MDI will not offshore
    They have waaaay too much integrity.
    cynical, I would bet the rent
    it gets cut effective 1 January 2010.
    Yeah, thinking about it sitting here in my sweats, hair up in a ponytail myself...sm

    I must honestly say it is hard to demand respect looking like this.  Thanks for making me smile!  


    It really does take unique people to be able to work while the kids are screaming in the background, the dog is bugging you because he wants to go outside for the hundredth time today, you know you only have one more load of laundry to catch you up for the day, and all the while you have the dictator who thinks it's ok to talk while he stuffs his mouth full of food, or to sit in the lounge where everybody is taking a break and making plans or whatever.  Oh well, from the looks of thes print on these sweat pants, I haven't lost my sense of humor anyway.  It is hard to be real serious when you are over 40 and running around with pink flames on your clothing, sheeesh! 


    Maybe you could rent out a room or two instead of working
    3 full time jobs leaves no time for sleep! If I were in that position, I'd look into renting out a bedroom. In an urban setting, you could always store your car and rent out the garage (if you have one).
    You can rent the Lanier very cheaply
    from MDI. (And you deduct this rental cost from your taxes as a business expense.)
    In actuality, you ARE "betting the rent".

    A wax doll, a long straight pin, and a lock of hair - great therapy. nm

    Dependign where you are in the US, rent can be $1000 for a 2-bedroom apt or even a
    more than that. The one thing that has always sort of amazed me is that because we work at home our salaries do not always equal our locations. For example, it is far easier to make a living at 9 cpl with an average of 1200 lines per day if you live in the country (as I do) rather than if I lived in a city. I do not own my home at present and pay $750 per month for a nice-sized 3 bedroom home, but my best friend lives out near a larger city and pays $1600 month for a house that is almost the same as mine. In the he real world, salaries are adjusted by locality, but because we work from home that little factor seems to have been eliminated. I know that I would never be able to survive on my pay if I lived in the northeastern part of the US.
    Do you still have to rent their equipment from them or do they load program on
    s
    Rent where I live is apx. $1200-1250/mo, 1-bdrm. (sm)
    Where I live the average is about $1200/mo. for a 1-bedroom apt.

    If I could get the lines/day, I'd be doing better. But I frequently get up in the morning, sit down to work, and there is nothing 'til maybe noon. Other days, there's plenty.

    We're paid by the keystroke, so it's something like 1/10th of a cent, or something like that. Comes out to something like $6.50/hour if you're spending much time researching drugs, terms, etc. (Difficult but interesting and challenging accounts.) There are incentives, bennies, etc., but it's hard to even meet the minimum if the work ain't there when you need it.

    In all other respects, this is a great company, and I'd hate to leave 'cuz I just started this summer. And they actually offer more than many others do. It's just that OVERALL, the MT field is not only not keeping up with the cost-of-living, it's declining. And everything else has gone up. A box of cereal is close to $5. Gas is $3.65/gal. Thank goodness I live in CA where I can get by without heating my home. (Also expensive). Oh well. I guess I should've stayed in college longer than just 2 years........
    Prior info said they take $300 out of your pay $50 at a time for something, rent or deposit. nm

    They hire FT only. Need a second phone line. Might have to rent/lease equip. from them. nm

    Plus my company is out work and I haven't made my rent yet, so am grouchy!

    Get real..... who is buying new cars, satellite dishes, video games? How about rent, utilities on t

    I wanted to use my own computer and get rid of the RENT on TT computer, but Vista is not compatible.
    Good way to make them money.  Not have to upgrade software so that Vista is compatible with Vista.  Huh?
