In Reply to: yes, when all that overseas work comes back - steady eddie

they do pass any laws against sending personal / medical information overseas, they'll just leave out any identifying information and instead cross-match reports with assigned numbers, much like SS# over here.

Not gonna happen. My clients

use me because they have had such horrible quality from national services that they refuse to use them anymore.  That includes national services with American MTs and national services with Indian MTs.  I am surviving and thriving while you are whining.


Never, not gonna happen, I'm the early morning person
who always gets up for nothing when there's no work.
sad aint it...
i think so many MTs are fed up with a lot of things goin on in this field that when they vent, its just that.

then again, like other jobs, in the medical field, there are a lot of people that use whatever knowledge they have as a weapon.

i think the average is about 40k (i hope). my main job is 38,400/y but that is with hourly pay. im a single mom so i would need to at least look for another part time, if not full time job to live.

dis aint bout me
I was consistently getting 1200 lpd after transcribing for 6 months on a very difficult VA account. I think MQ'ers just like to whine. Take whining out of your vocabulary and make so $$$.
aint that a word?
 I'm originally from PA and was taught very early on in school not to use aint.  What does annoy me is some talk in the past tense all the time.  I guess I feel that way because they add "ed" on to a lot of words. Some areas aren't as bad as others though with this. 
LOL, aint that the truth!

On subject of VR, aint no way
newbies can do and neither can slow typists, that is at my place of employment. You have to be seasoned to know just as much about VR as you would regular transcription. You have to be extremely fast in reading the text because speed is money. I usually typed around 2000 or a little over straight. If making 8 cents a line for straight, that would mean I would have to edit 4000 lines with VR. I am told some in my company do that much but I don’t and have never in the several years I have worked on VR. If anyone thinks newbies would be good to do VR, then that person really does not know anything about VR and the knowledge you have to have, same as doing transcription only reading very, very fast and changing any and all that might be wrong in the report. My system is very easy to use, very user friendly. Some, I hear, are not.
She aint even bubbly...I can think of other words that fit, though...nm

LOL aint that the truth...did ya'll hear about the billboard after the
3 or 4 (can't remember) they had in a row? I lived in Virginia for a few years and we had Isabel head our way and it ravaged quite a bit. We went to W. Virginia and called it vacation LOL. We were without power for about 4 weeks and it is AMAZING what you can cook on a grill!!
pffftt.. aint skeert o the spoon.. now the belt..

Well if I'm gonna dream I'm gonna dream big! hehe

Okay, I'm gonna try to help

First, you can't be all things to all people.  Not meaning to sound nasty or hateful, but with 3 kids under 5, you can't possibly do a good job either as a mother or as an employee.  With 1 kid under 5, possibly; with 2 under 5 maybe, but 3, no way, no how.  I know this because I raised 4.  1 was okay, 2 would be okay but you add the 3rd one (any 3rd one) and POW.  Constant.."he hit me....well SHE hit me first....I hit him because he looked at me,"  I'm sure you know the drill.  If you don't know what I mean yet because of their age, trust me, you will.


You can have the best of both worlds though.  Either hire someone to come in while you are working or put those babies in daycare during your working hours.  You will be there when they need you and you have the flexibility to attend school functions, take an afternoon off to spend with them and just take them to the park, etc. etc.  Plus you can devote full attention to your job during those hours.....well, as much as anyone can, since the majority of people who aren't in the know think we stay home and some nice company just sends us a paycheck every couple of weeks because they like us. And they want to "work"for the same company we "work" for.  :) 


Just to add a funny, I moved once to another state and later learned that thenew neighbors were gossiping behind my back, they KNEW I was having an affair with the UPS driver because he came to my house at the same time every day. hahahaha


Now I'm sure there are going to be mom's who say you CAN do your job with the kids.  I say that if you wouldn't consider taking your very young children to the office and do your job, don't expect to do at home what you can't do at the office.  Adding to your stress at home, who stops and fixes lunches?  Who stops and changes diapers?  Who settles arguments?  dtc. etc. etc.


I told someone before you could work with children underfoot and I'm sure someone will remind me of that so I'll go ahead and explain.  I said you could work with the kids underfoot and you can.....provided you have some help.  Even with help, as the Head MOM you'd still have plenty of interruptions but it wouldn't be continuous.


What's she gonna do if U don't have one?

Call the Spelling Squad on U?


911, this is an emergency...I have an MT who....


Now, this is something I'm gonna try!! Thank you

I'm gonna have to ask that question.
NM
Definitely gonna try that!! Hungry already!
nm
OK. I'm gonna go for it. I still have the book, so
I'm going to read it again thoroughly and then start after I've finished it.  I remember how great I felt and I also remember my BP going down.  This time I have to stick with it though.  I noticed on their web site that they now have classes and chat rooms, so that should help, too.  Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.  If you have any more hints or input about it, please feel free to clue me in.  Thanks again!
Heres-a-what-i'm-gonna do
I just went to the bank and took out enough money to last me a week away from home.  I am leaving tomorrow - pills in hand - just enough OxyContin to wean the way someone suggested and enough other stuff to help with the withdrawals - phenergan and xanax - plus my blood pressure medicine, as it tends to go up if I wait too long between the OxyContin pills.  I am going to drive to a place about 2 hours from my home and check into a motel - it is right next to a large teaching hospital - so if I get in trouble - I will have a place to go.  This is all hurting me and my family so much that the only way I can do it is to do it without them.  They won't miss me for at least 3 hours and by that time I will be settled in and ready for the fight.  I will post again to let you all know how it goes.  Thanks for everyones input and help - I really appreciate it.  Hopefully by next week I will be able to think clearer and be able to remember what happened five minutes before.  Thanks to you all.
Think I am gonna throw up! ugh! nm

I'm gonna seem picky here...
Anybody have any ideas for appetizers that are simple, quick, and relatively cheap?  I know I'm particular, but I'm not a good cook, don't have much time or money!!  This is just for a card game, so I don't want anything extravagant anyway.  Thanks bunches!
Well, then I am gonna be more demanding
as some of these posts seem to be. There is not 1 single person that I know of, have ever known of, probably will ever know of that has a company pay them to come into the office to work. If a traveling salesman, I could see that but more likely a company could hire plenty of others who are glad to show up and have a job rather than thinking it was their place to pay for gas. I still find that post AMAZING.
I am gonna have to get to work
so will have to make do until hopefully someone can helpp me. I know how to zoom in and out with control and mouse so will use until later. Thanks!
ever gonna be fast enough?
Oh boy!  I can only hope to ever move so fast I burn up a keyboard!
I'm gonna say no. I tested by...
running adaware, superantispyware and spybot, cleaned everything out and then came only on this site. Clicked around for a while, posted a couple times and ran my scans again. Nothing came up, so I'm going to say no I guess. I always have Spyware of some sort when I run my scans, but I visit so many sites a day I have no idea where they come from.
I'm gonna go crazy!!
I've been typing all day and I told my boss i would for sure finish these last two reports tonight. I feel like i'm gonna go crazy typing! I just don't want to type anymore but I know i have to! does anyone else have days like this? I have to think about the $$$$$ and how good I will feel when it's all done!
im gonna doubt it
I can't tell you for sure, I am assuming you mean editing? If that is the case, Who KNOWS how much stuff you will actually have to change and what your line rate will actually end up per hour you know? Unfortunately these things have to be done and then figured out...
I'm gonna say what the clients say - oh, boy, ANOTHER one, ick. NM
.
No, someone that's posting that sounds like its gonna be bad! Not you!!
And its not me!! Who is it?
Still laughing my ... off and now im gonna work
z
Just dont bait them. There are gonna

translator...I LOVE it...that's what I'm gonna say
from now on!!! Sometimes I feel like that's what I am...
I'm gonna do all of them! Thanks for letting me vent!
:-)
Very interesting. Thanks. Gonna research
to see if there are any natural/alternatives remedies to help battle them, as I suffer from chronic RSI problems, as well as malaise. 
so whos gonna be the new Apprentice?
I place my bet on Randal
i have some, my daughter has eczema, so im gonna try it right now.
thanks.
He's not dead. He's gonna be fine.

I hope you are!! :-) Sorry, but you're just gonna
have to wait!! I know the agony and excitement and worry and excitement....I remember seeing on TV a brandie new preg tester that says it can detect pregnancy even before you miss your period. Can't remember the name, but I would haunt my pharmacist for it!! I want to say, based on my experience, that you may very well be pregnant. Whenever I saw a faint anything, which was always how my turned out, it meant pregnant! I remember my husband and I so excited, holding the things sideways, in the light, in the dark, with a magnifying glass, etc. We SO wanted it to be positive!! And every time it was even a faint something, it turned out that I was pregnant. Just had to wait a few more days to get a more positive positive! We went thru so much $$ buying those precious testers!! Hang in there!! Let us know, OK?!
Gonna pull my hair out!

I am currently working on a 20 minute dictation with an ESL who talks like a 3-year-old.  I can't even figure out where she might be from.  Words like....tweatment, twying, reawy, downwite, etc.  Plus, there is about a 2 second pause between every word!!!!!


The real kicker is that she is dictating this for another doc who I know for a fact speaks perfect English.


Sometimes I just wanna cry!!


Gonna be hard to choose! nm

I thought the same thing!! Then was gonna
look up old posts, but realized I was right, and it also wasn't worth the effort! Great minds thinking alike again! Something way fishy going on with this whole story!
Probably gonna get blasted but just my thoughts....
My thought is do you actually know that the story your husband is true. Maybe the woman was actually calling him and this is just a story he made up to cover his tracks.....maybe that's why he doesn't want you to call her and why he says he doesn't want his friend to know you know b/c it isn't really the friend's friend but actually your husband's "friend". This is just my way of thinking b/c this sounds very suspicious. Then again, I'm just a suspicious person by nature though I have to say I'm usually right about these kinds of things. (hope that isn't the case but I think this is what you suspect too and that's why you're mad). Good luck to ya.
thanks for the affirmation...I'm gonna take your advice! -nm

Thought I was gonna pee my pants!

End of year...anybody gonna clear over 50K?

sounds yummy...gonna try it tomorrow!

girl, you're gonna love it!...
I love ours! I buy all my groceries there. Some things are like a dollar "less expensive" there than at a regular grocery store.  It just makes me nauseous to buy something at a regular grocery store, when I know it's cheaper at W/M! I love it!!! Of course, I am the queen of cheap!!!
