They WILL refund your money as long as you complain
loud and long enough.  I did and I got a refund.  I turned around and plunked that money on the Career Step course and have been transcribing for 11 years since then.  Good luck to you!
How long by mail did it take to get your IRS refund check after a mail out date was given when you c

Refund
By law, the landlord has to have receipts and proof of their work and that the work was justified. If you feel you have been taken by your property management company, call your local Department of Professional Regulation (they monitor licensed real estate brokers and agents, among other professions) and tell them what your problem is. They can mediate in a situation like this and they will also ensure that the licensed real estate professional is acting in a legal and professional manner in handling your deposit. These types of disputes are VERY serious to this organization. Mishandling of tenant's deposits can get an agent or broker's license suspended or revoked. It's definitely worth checking out. Good luck to you!
Tax refund
My federal tax refund came within 7-10 days and my state came about 3 weeks later.
I don't want an exchange, I want a refund.

I'm not stupid and know how to configure the foot pedal.  Even though I had done everything to get it to work, I still followed the directions of your company and it still would not work.   I find it funny that one pedal doesn't work and one does, at least temporarily,  and yet it is "my issue" and not yours.  I have every e-mail and not once was it mentioned it was a software or computer issue.  I've even had my IT guy work with it and he said it just isn't compatible, that there is a switch issue in the pedal most likely. 


I'm through with this.  I'll file my complaints as stated above, but I have better things to do with my time than to continue this.   I stand by everything I have said.


 


1 cent refund
that is absolutely unbelievable -- they are totally out of it!! i would definitely be calling and asking what were they thinking?
Can you get a refund on your family??? LOL
Come to Texas!! Just the two of us (me and my roomie) and the pups, turkey, football, no rugrats this year (we're doing family Christmas tomorrow).

Seriously, sharing the Word is one thing, condemning others is God's place not a humans. Tell him you're engaged! Then, break the "engagement" the day AFTER Christmas LOLOL.
CH 13 bankruptcy & tax refund? anyone know? sm

Do you get back ANY of your tax refund?  Who asks how much you got?  and then what? 


chapter 13 & refund
I am told that you have to send a copy to your Chapter 13 Trustee every year for three years.  If you get a refund they will hold it -- which I think is fair and I have no problem them doing it as I want to pay off what I can to the creditors.  You can get back part of the refund if you owe state or city taxes.   Your friends did something wrong and fradulent.  I have not heard of one who got back their entire refund but I don't know everyone.  But my attorney definitely told me that for three years if I have anything coming, I will not get it.  I work both as an employee and have my business.   I just estimate and don't overwithold.
Rapid Refund
Has anyone tried any online rapid refund tax services.....
So obviously anyone entitled to a refund....sm
then will be eligible for this?  I also know people who don't pay a dime all year and then end up getting a refund at the end of the year because of the earned income credit, etc.  So those people will definitely get this, correct? 
Tax break, tax refund
Yes, Bush is waiting on Congress to pass his emergency tactic to keep the economy from nose diving. He says this will stimulate the economy by us spending it. I say, it's another Bush tactic to try and stave off a recession while he is turning out his last days in office. I say, it is ridiculous. Take care of the infrastructure, the middle class, strength education, jobs, job retraining for older adults, etc., etc., etc.
quesion on tax refund
for those of you that filed early how long did it take for you to receive your tax refund check in your direct deposit account? Thanks!  Trying to estimate when I can expect mine. 
Are the people who are talking about a refund only the ones on DQS? (nm)

pathetic refund back to CEO
you go girl!! tell him you want your postage reimbursed - haha!!
Tax refund is NOT abusing welfare. If you

Get a refund? Check details of your auction
Hopefully your auction included the potenitality of a refund (buyer may or may not have known of a defect) and there is often a buyer's protection offered for items of this amount. Check out those possibilities quickly as you don't have unlimited time to make a claim.

I would unplug the C-phone and then unseat and re-seat all connectors. Make sure you have the connectors in the right way, and also of course check that volume control :) !

good luck.
I did it that way and had my refund in 5 days deposited into my account. sm
Your information is never truly safe from anyone; however, I think giving it to the government might be safer than not.

I have no qualms doing it.
My refund was for 2 cents. I am sending it back along with a letter to the CEO
and ask them why per contract I did not get the raise promised me in 90 days. I no longer work for them, but hey, I am not going to let this opportunity slip by.

It makes no sense to spend more money than the check was to get it to you and for a company to be that wasteful, you wonder what is in the back of their mind. For both you and me, good thing we did not go run and try to spend it in one place!

Something stinks there!
Yes, write some letters to the Dell people....if you make some noise you will get your refund.
and mail/fax whatever-- get their attention....don't be outright nasty but you can get pissy a little. It will work and you will get your money back.
I hate Instant Text. It is expensive, long long learning
curve, and too much distraction for me.
How long should I wait after applying for a position before I follow-up. It has been as long as two
without hearing from some.  Just wondering if I should send an e-mail to follow-up to see if they received my resume or not.  I don't want to offend anyone but feel two weeks should be long enough for someone to at least acknowledge my resume and that I have applied for a position.  Right now I would accept anything even a note saying no thanks.  Any advice would be appreciated.  I haven't had to apply for a job for the past 10 years so I am a bit rusty at this.  Thanks again for any advice. 
Congrats! How long have you been a MLS and how long did you study for the test!

Please see message. I have three daughters with long, long hair.
I also have long hair down to my waist and my three girls have hair that long too. My daughter brought them home from school last year. I was devestated and grossed out!!!! I have never had to deal with lice. Anyway, we did the treatments and two of my girls broke out in a severe rash with the OTC stuff. Their little heads were so sore!! I thought I was being meticulous with eggs, only to find them hatching again down the road. A nurse at the pediatricians office suggested I try oil to suffocate them since my girls were allergic to the lice solution. I bought a huge bottle of veggie oil and dumped it on all three heads, plus my own. I then wrapped the heads in platic wrap and then a towel. I left this on for 30 minutes. It takes a while to wash out the oil, but we never, ever had the lice or eggs again!!! If you try this, make sure you put on an old shirt and put a towel around your shoulders. Obviously we were desperate, but we all have such long hair and very thick hair so I was willing to try anything. And I figured there was no chemicals involved so that was pretty safe. And it sure did help my littles ones since their scalps were pretty raw from the solution. Hope this helps and Good luck!
It's been a long, long time since I've used a C-phone, sm
but I do think jobs can be paused.
Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to

do what is right.  If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child.  "you suck"  That is so immature.


She is responding to you and you are eating her alive.  Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it. 


I am really astonished at how people can act on here.  Would you treat people like this in person?  If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends. 


Remember we are all "HUMAN." 


 


I had a problem with this for a long, long time sm
I have always worked days, like from 6-3. Over the last few years, it didn't matter how much sleep I got, I became real groggy between 7 and 11. Really shoots the day. Talked to my doctor and he said my blood pressure pills were the culprit but he refused to change me to another brand or dosage since I have multiple aneurysms (2 in the brain). My BP has been stable for a long time and he wants to "keep it on the low side". I tried taking them before I went to bed instead of early in the morning, but then I had headaches all day. So, I am changing to a night shift for a few months so I can sleep when those pills kick in and so far it is working pretty good. I stay mostly awake during my shift and die when I hit the bed from 6 am to 10 am, then I lay down again later in the afternoon for 2-3 hours. I still get 6-7 hours of sleep, it's just split up during the day, plus I am mostly awake now when I sit down to type. I don't have to deal with the heat in my office, either. It tends to warm up real fast in here with the south sun on the house and 2 pc's running all day, even with the air conditioner on.
Way back when, a long, long time
ago and in a galaxy far, far away, I had my own accounts also and some years cleared $75,000.  Yes it can be done, but you need to have your own accounts.  Also lots of delivery, and other duties involved.  I work for a large national now and make much less, but I got tired of accountants, having to deal with hardware problems, deadlines, driving deliveries, printing, printers, etc.  So I decided to simplify my taxes and stay home and just type.  Don't have to worry about computers either, because the company will just send me a new one. 
Long, long files. Seemed like they'd never end! I'd never go back to VA again. nm

I've been doing this a long, long time...

I used to make $70,000 and up a year and did so for most of the late 80s and 90s (one girl used to make six figures a year working 7 days a week!)  Because we were making more money than the supervisors and Medical Records Directors in hospitals, they began to switch to transcription services which were sprouting up all over the place.  Plus AAMT came into existence and even though in the beginning it claimed it was to fight for transcriptionists (although assured us it was NOT a union), they eventually morphed into an organization that was more management friendly.  They developed the "guidelines" and the 65-char line.  That was the beginning of the end for those high-end wages.  Then all those mickey mouse transcription schools popped up, and now outsourcing overseas.  YES, we're complaining. 


Been in this biz a long, long time, 30+ years and....sm
I love/loved MTing. However, things have changed so much during these years. The job definitely gets easier; don't have to look up much, can decipher ESLs much easier, in other words, you get pretty comfortable with things and you have confidence in yourself. The more experience you have the easier the job, but....

I actually made more money 10 years ago!! We didn't have speech recognition and you actually got paid for headers/footers, demographics, carbon copies, etc., you got paid for what you did fairly; today, I am not so sure.

You will feel burned out at times, but that passes and you find you like your job again.

Good luck to you!!
A long, long time ago, I was going thru
a really bad time emotionally and physically. I was suffering, and my transcribing suffered. I assure you - if you are to the point of not paying your rent, literally, and needing food stamps, there is something else going on in your life than current transcription rates. We are all in this industry and many are thriving, most getting along comfortably. If you are literally to the point of food stamps, you honestly would be a fool to continue. I blamed it on my job, on my line rate, on everything but the honest truth that I was ill and was NOT working as I should or could. It is a really sad thing that you keep spreading this propaganda that MTs in our culture are doomed and now destined for food stamps. Food stamps are not something to toss around lightly, as you would know if you ever had to use them. Please let's not be quite so dramatic. Again, if you are really in those dire straits, you really need to face that MTing is not the fit for you, personally, and do something about it rather than blame our industry. You dwell on the past, but we can't do that. While you may have made other wages 20 years ago, may I remind you that we were pounding away on IBM Selectrics using layers of paper and bottles of white out, going crazy trying to rewind tapes over and over to get that dang word, with no idea what an Expander was. Technology is fantastic. Things have changed, but things are still great in this industry, and in this world. Those who change and can adapt will be fine, but you need to recognize that most of us are not ready for food stamps.  
Sure did...you been around for a long, long year

A gross line IS a gross line regardless if it's 90 characters long or 1 character long... SM

I'm very sorry that your lines are 90 characters line and you get paid by gross lines.  You are cheating yourself - that's not my fault.  You cannot change the definition of a gross line.  So I gues I'm not understanding what you are trying to say.  Now if you are trying to say that your line equals 90 characters and that's how you figure your lines, than you are not using gross lines.  You have defined a line to be 90 characters, whereas most MTSOs define a line as 65 characters.  If that is the case, then I must say again, you are cheating yourself.


So which is it, do you get paid by gross lines or by a 90 character line?


how long ago was that
I started working at a hospital, right out of high school, in 1969 and they sent me to college at night and paid for it.  From the first day in 1969, I was dealing with ESL's.  There were always doctors with accents.  When I was a child I had a Jewish doctor who could hardly speak English.  That was back in the 1950's-1960's. Your argument does not sound like outsourcing, it sounds like bigotry to me..shame on you.
Wow, how long have you been at it? I have 292, but ran out. nm

how long ago........
were you hired? I know now they won't look anyone that isn't experienced in the areas that they are requesting. It is MedQuist that hired you?
How long
have you worked for them. What specific pluses do they have?
how long
over a year. managers who are a help and a platform that is really easy to use.
yes, as long as
 you have not signed anything with either company that states you won't work for anyone else while working for them.   Always read legally binding documents carefully and thoroughly.
don't know how long ago that was,

appropriate anymore. I was taught "when in doubt, leave it out," especially if the comma is meant to add emphasis.


I have seen too many instances where too many commas have ruined a document.


How long have you been on DQS? SM
Why do you think the line count plunged so much? So, there is no way to use your own expander? thx so much
how long have you all been a MT?

I'll start:  Almost 27 years doing acute care reports, but I have about a year of experience doing radiology (hospital).

Care to share?

I started doing transcription in 1983. Certified for 12 years. Still going strong. Hands perfect. Love this job.
How long

long day
I work 6a-2p and then 4p-12a.
Can I ask you how long you have been using

Long, long, long
Cannot type at all if they are short.  Almost 3/4 to 1 inch over finger.  Get them done every two to three weeks.  My one pleasure.   But if I get them cut down to just over my fingers I cannot type at all.   And I used to be a nail biter also. 
Long.
.
must be long
I've worn nails long for so long that I really, truly can't type if I break them or my nail artist files them too short.... I just bumble all over the keyboard
