Love my pets!
Elizabeth...sm
please don't misunderstand what I am saying...yes I agree, it is very frustrating changing sup's (TC) all the time.  Believe me, I've been w/MQ for over 4 years and have had at least six TCs!!! But, not once have I been personally contacted, e-mail or otherwise, by one of them.  I always take it upon myself to just send a quick hello to the new TC, introduce myself, etc.  Think of it this way, they have a couple hundred or so MTs to worry about, we only have one TC...just a thought! Anyways, enough about this subject...don't wanna ruffle any feathers! Have a wonderful day! 
Way to go Elizabeth
:-)
Elizabeth
You are so right.  I am wasting time and energy ruminating on this thing. I am just so frustrated.  I honestly think I need to find another position, even though I hate leaving a place I have been at for 14-plus years.  My husband and I sat down last night and had a good talk, and I have had a buttload of health problems since working for this place.  What is funny, it is a mental health facility!  Many of the employees and myself get a chuckle out of this, because the therapists/psychiatrists are always referring people for stress management, etc., and we are some of the most stressed people in the whole county.  I am going to start looking! 
Elizabeth New Jersey

my vote would be for Elizabeth
Vargas, the journalist. I know she has a job and is due to have a baby, but I think she would be a classy addition.


Thank You Sandy and Elizabeth - you are great!
thank you so much for taking the time to help me. Happy Holidays!
elizabeth, i'm with you 100% on this one. i don't know poster is but sounds like MQ manager.
Very telling as to how we are viewed by MQ is it not?
That's how Elizabeth Smart got kidnapped and raped
Do-gooder parents offering a home repair job to a loser they found sleeping out on the road or something. Can people really be this stupid?
But they came here LEGALLY, and actually
WORSE like this particular group is doing. Ever driven down a street of apartments that has gone Mexican? It's TRASHED.
I would go after him legally sm
if I had to in order to get my money and have that report changed. That could very well affect you in the future. These doctors. The longer I do this the more I hate Western medicine.
Not much to offer, but legally I don't even
think his mother could get his $ before you, his wife. Something sounds fightable there. Sounds like your hubby has a lot of growing up to do. When a guy marries, he should lessen the relationship with his mom, and transfer his love, attention, devotion, loyalty to his wife. As long as his parents are willing participants, doesn't sound like you have much of a chance. I had been in a vaguely similar situation - my husband's controlling parents were ruining our marriage - they actually wanted us to divorce due to their own control issues. We separated, I moved to the other end of the state. My husband quickly followed, and once out of his parents' WEB, we were able to focus on our marriage, and he was able to see the negative influence of his parents. I'm sorry you're going thru this. PLEASE keep us posted!
Legally they have no right to ask you - just give
...
Legally they cannot pay below minimum
wage. Anyone making below that should check with their state government and make sure that if they do not make minimum wage that this is rectified. Even at the Q, they have to make up the difference to minimum wage.

You don't really know what you'd do till it happens. I know how you feel SM

now, but you just wait until you have the traumatic amputation. It's not a death. It's losing a part of you. It feels so horrible as to be indescribable. I was wishing I could get married again after a month, just so I'd have something else to think about.


Of course I got over that pretty quickly, but it sure made me understand why people do that.


Never say never.


Exactly what my DH used to say till he hung out with me for a while. - nm

I worked 6:00 p.m. till 2:00 a.m. doing
were young; that way I was home with them during the day and once DH got home, I would go to work.  My advice is not to do it.  You miss out on too much.  Be there in the evenings with your family and if your MT job dries up, you'll find something else when the time comes.  For now enjoy being able to be home with them.  Insurance isn't everything.
Not true. You CAN legally use ULD for transcription. There are several sm
options out there including Comcast, Vonage, AT&T Small Business Advantage and more. If you do your research and stop spouting without checking your facts, then people would not chase their tails after bad information.
two jobs in one company, is it legally possible? sm

is it possible to work in a company with two jobs at different shifts?  like for example, I work as a Transcriptionist in the surgery dept and then there's an opening for a different position in a different department.  can i apply for that job without jeopardizing the other?  Can they accept me if I applied for that job?  need advices.  thanks a lot! 


Legally working at home

In some places it is still technically illegal to work at home.  If there is a strong union presence, that may be the case because they want to prevent non-unionized piecework jobs.  They equate it, rightly or wrongly, with sweatshop labor.


In some places, you will have to go before the town planning commission and notify all neighbors within a certain radius of what your business is, especially in terms of noise, smells and traffic.  In essence, you will be asking for a change in zoning. 


If you live in a condo complex, check your covenants/bylaws to see if you can work at home.


So, yes, I would start with city hall if I lived in an incorporated area or with the county clerk if I lived in an unincorporated area.  It is different everywhere, and some places really haven't come into the electronic age.  Some of the laws still on the books belong more to 1907 than to 2007.


In my area, I don't remember the business license costing anything (although I suspect it did - I can't image the county not looking for money), but I remember I had to have a *doing business as* notice printed for 3 consecutive weeks in the local paper.  That wasn't expensive either - they had a set fee for it.


No he doesn't. Believe what you want, the truth will come out legally.

It's _always_ done that to me. Till today, LOL. nm

Unbelievable. Just wait till she gets to
be an old timer.

I plan on doing this till I am in a wheelchair on a Roho Cushion, Foley Catheter, IV fluids and therapy massaging me.

SS won't do it.

So wait till I send in my resume claiming 50 years experience.
Thanks! I can't wait till they get it hooked up.

Also-my attitute has been positive till now-
Hope this doesn't happen to you
Cannot legally share - software pirating
No, the BOS is copyrighted intellectual property.  If you make copies to hand out for free, then that is software piracy (fancy digital way of saying stealing).  This is why Medquist Technical will want to verify that you have removed the download from your personal computer if you use one rather than one that belongs to Medquist and will be returned to them when you quit.  Medquist bought licenses to enable that so-called free download for employees.  By that I mean that just because the employees didn't pay for it does not mean that it was really free for the company. 
if you made less than 600 dollars they don't legally have to claim it.
Just found that out also as last year my IC job only started in October and didn't make enough for taxes. This year will be different though. My employer said consider it free money. Can't argue with that. Checked with H&R Block and they confirmed it.
(good job on "methinks"). I never had an opinion about this till SM

my friend hit the charts. I know people do it. I never have because I'm just not that much into music.


High horse or no high horse - you can't just say you're "owed music" because you've bought CDs in the past. You can't say it's not stealing, because it is.


Now if you don't mind stealing, that's another thing, and most people don't appear to think this is stealing for one reason or another.


But even if you think record labels are greedy hogs and you resent the amount of money they make when you buy a CD, it still doesn't make rationalizing your theft right. No matter what you say.


I do a LOT of things wrong. I am so NOT on my high horse it isn't even funny. But I have strong feelings folks working and starving for ten years just to get picked up by a record label, only to have their work stolen. You can call it what you like and you can say I'm not a cool person all day long (I'm really not!) but you can't say you aren't stealing what doesn't belong to you.


Christina, I would not send voice files unless they legally
belong to you and are in your voice. It is against HIPAA regulations to share medical files. If the hospital or physician or company finds out, you would be held accountable if a patient's private information is given out to another party.
i dont blame you at all. If you buy a product you should be able to use it till at least the foot p
I wonder if you can copy it from one computer and burn it on a disk so you can have a backup. I will try that and see.
Wait till they steal our information, sell it and
our identities are stolen. This is not right because if any of us had a choice, we would not want our records of any kind going overseas to be managed or transcribed, etc. I think this violates our privacy big time and should be actively brought to the attention of all the stupid government officials. Wait till they have someone steal their identity or money or whatever. Think they will rethink this. Shame something has to happen to the rich folks before anyone will do anything about tightening things and even if they did enact laws, would these overseas companies abide by them. NOT.

I just think when the whole population ends up on the street, they won't be able to hide it then. I feel sorry for the generations to come. How would they save anything for retirement. I can't even do that.
Everyday thing for me. I work till sleepy, then set my SM

phone not my clock to ring. I get about 5 hours every night, have for years.


If you disliked Wal-Mart before, wait till you hear this..
I can't find a link yet, but this morning on cable news they did a story about a "glitch" on their website.  You know how if you click on a DVD title, many websites will say "you might also like" and then they show a list of titles that might be of the same genre or interest as the title you requested.  It's a marketing tactic to get  people to perhaps buy something in addition to what they're looking for.  Well, apparently if you click on The Planet Of The Apes series (original movies) you get a list of movies featuring black actors only *they probably corrected it by now).    Wal-Mart claims it was a computer glitch, but I'm not buying it for a second.  Probably a lone prankster did the links but who knows.  Either way it's baaaaaaaaad.
I like MT - wasn't gonna answer till I saw the board cop here. :-) nm

Today is different and you cannot fight companies who LEGALLY can offshore work.
So all Americans refuse to buy goods, shop at stores, or work for companies who offshore.  That leaves a mess.  Do you realize a lot of American companies are actually owned by foreigners?  Get real and move into 2005.  You are going to spend a lot of time boycotting once you do the research.  I doubt you will be able to shop or work at all.
Not legally. In my state they can't give any meds, can hand the pill

bottle to the patient, but can't actually give them meds. 


Maybe you are thinking of CRNA? 


I'm already legally blind and I think all this staring at a screen is making them worse! sm

I'll look into these computer glasses you speak of.  Wearing glasses rather than contacts really did help.. I don't know how or why, but it did.  Maybe the combination of antiglare screen and antiglare lenses? 


My monitor's screen is supposed to be antiglare, but I still am thinking one of the antiglare hook-ons might be helpful.  Only problem with that is I have an 'old fashioned' monitors (the kind that are huge and weigh a ton) and not one of the flat screens so not sure if I'll find one to fit. 


How can we learn this neat stuff if it's not in the help menu? We have to wait till

well, excuuuuse me. I didn't realize it had been deleted till after my first post

Should've held out for the candy bar and refuse to leave till you get it!

Just wait till you're 10+ years into it and getting paid half of that.

In some states, if buying house and married, both names are legally required to be on deed. (nm)

Cannot legally require you to commit time to them as an employee and then not pay you for that time.

Has this changed?
Congrats!
Will all MTs be changed over to ASR?
x
no, nothing has changed.
Just a very bossy lady who waits until the last minute to give me the work, sometimes three to five days later than it came in, and then demands it ASAP. It isn't my fault she cannot keep up with the work.
Fed law changed that
We got a notice last year that the feds required they get 911 in place in all areas by the end of the year.  When we first got it, we had no 911 service.  We had to use the 911 service twice due to my son being so ill and it worked fine, however afterwards we had to reboot the modem and wait for half an hour to get the phone back.  I think having a regular line just for local calls is advisable and using Vonage for long distance only or work is the safest way to go.
Has changed now though

My husband  - now ex - has been in trucking for over 25 years and all of our friends have and are and were.  It has changed a lot and also depends on whether you own your own or drive for someone else.  Kind of like IC versus employee.  Also a lot have also been outsourced as there are a lot of foreigners driving the trucks now a days.   There is such a similarity between the two (MT and trucking) but this started with trucking sooner.   Just like MT you do not make money unless you are moving and when that truck has to pay two salaries it is hard.  But like you said, your dad raised four kids but in this day and age it would be hard to do.   If you are cross country it is so hard watching expenses, etc.  Again just like MT it was a good career and if you have been in it for years it is still decent pay but to start out in it, would not do that.  Just like MT as I have very good accounts, make very good money but when someone talks to me about starting out in it, I do shudder a little as I read such horror stories on this board and I know it is not as easy to do as it was when I started 20+ years ago.  I do still yearn for the open road sometimes though.  It is a way to see the US.   Drove through 42 of the 48 states here and Canada.  Anyway that is my thoughts for what they are worth.
