Get a custom build from a local place.
I don't know about the Macs compatibility though. I had my computer custom built through a local place and am so glad I need. My kids have done things to this computer that no one has ever seen or been able to quite figure out how they did it but the local placed fixed me right up and they keep companies of all my program disks in case I have a complete crash and need to reformat the beasts. They also custom built an HP laptop which I love, love, love.
Check your local police station, that'd be the place to look.
I bet they don't outsource that.....or do they? Interesting.
What banner above?
x
I LOVE the banner ad that just popped up - sm

at the top of this page!  It says,  'Beware of At Home Jobs - Most Don't Work"!


Well, how TRUE is that! 


MT - What a great 'career'.



Did anyone ever look at the Davis Transcription website/banner - sm
I had to laugh because - get this - there are spelling and grammar mistakes on the website.  If this is a transcription company, I would think the last thing you would have on your website is a spelling mistake, grammatical and punctuation mistakes.  It makes me wonder if this is a back door company to India.  So I did a search on MTStars to find out about it, and there is nothing but bad stuff.   So my question is this ... after I'm done giggling .... is this a company that sends the work to India???
NOTE: Regarding the sticky above about inexpensive banner ads

I thought that some of you who sell art, crafts, or other items like candles, Avon, scrapbooking, etc. might like to jump on this opportunity.  I had thought it would be an affordable opportunity for you to make some extra money with Christmas coming up.  However, so far no one appears to be interested.  Therefore, if I don't have at least 10 people interested by Nov. 20, I will scrap the idea. 


I think they're referring to the Christmas Child banner. nm

T-Shirt
I like the idea too, but do you know that the T-shirt probably have to be ordered from China or Taiwan
Tee shirt.....
I love any idea(s) we all can come up with.  Isn't it strange though, or is it just me, that the world has completely flip-flopped and even the T-shirts we wear are made in Taiwan, Phillippines, Korea, etc?  When did we lose all the control of this great country....oh yes...guess it must have been when I put my head in the sand and "refused to come out to play??"
First Shirt?
Per a listing by "Deborah" on the job seeker's board, I'm just wondering...is "first shirt" a term that applies to a "lead" MT?  I recall in high school when the best performer of each part of our school orchestra was referred to as "first chair", so I naturally am thinking that this "first shirt" designation is just something that I had never before noticed??
First shirt
I do believe that would be first SHIFT, not shirt.
Scrubs?
Did the previous poster ever receive any feedback as to where to get MT scrubs? I can't seem to get back to that page. How do we get to the pages from earlier in the week. Thanks!
Scrubs
I shop at thrift stores. I have several darling sets of scrubs I wear around the house for little price. I am going to donate them to my Doctor's office girls soon. They are in excellent condition.
Scrubs
Thank you all for your responses. I am wondering if I have found as close as I am going to get? I went to www.logosoftwear.com . Then I selected "Instant Embroidery Logos". Then I scrolled down the page to the different types of embroidery and select "Occupational". In this section, there is a logo, LGO193, of a computer operator who it seems is wearing a headset? Is this maybe as close as we can get? Let me know what you think! Thanks! Gussie
Scrubs
That is not bad but still looking for something else but probably not going to find it. Thanks for finding that!
Scrubs
Hi Sandy, I agree it's not the greatest, but I haven't found anything better yet either. Sigh!
How about Scrubs?
I keep seeing it advertised on a couple of other stations other than NBC.  I'm thinking they are reruns though.  I really enjoyed that show.  Even after going to their website I am confused about when/where to watch it and if they are new episodes or not.  Anyone have a clue?
T-shirt is a terrific idea! Poor little guy. He isn't used
to being so restricted. The cone is making his neck a little itchy and I have to get in there about every half hour to scratch his neck and ears. Normally he doesn't scratch much but I think it's bothering him. I keep telling myself "it will get better."
Any WAH MTs wear scrubs?

I'm tired of wearing out my jeans (not to mention that they aren't that comfortable to sit in all day) and want to be more professional than working in sweats -- I used to work in Medical Records and wore scrubs, and I loved them.


Hubby caught me surfing ebay for scrubs and laughed at me -- he didn't see why I would wear a uniform if I didn't have to, but the way I see it -- it makes me feel more professional and is a comfortable and effortless solution that is better than bathrobes and slippers.  Am I crazy or silly for wearing a uniform to work when I work in my dining room?


Any other scrub-wearing MTs out there? 


Scrubs and crocs. Luv em. nm

I got the cool T-shirt! Thank you, Sheri. It was a pleasure to participate. SM

I commend you on making the world a better place!


Trashed my scrubs the day I left
my job at a doctor's office, kind of a celebration ritual! Work in PJs 1 hour or so early am (right out of the bed so very unkempt) then dress for the day, then work evenings through to 1:00 am, so PJs work best for me. Most days try not to stay in the PJs all day long though. When my ex-employer and coworkers ask if I might want to return to the office, all I say is "Can I work here in my jammies???"
Buy local. The local stores pay taxes to support your city and state. (SM)
Using online and catalogues does nothing to promote the local economy.  We complain about outsourcing and about the big companies gobbling up all the work so the jobs at local hospitals are gone, yet we do the same thing when we buy on ebay, catalog, and these web sites that may be located any place in the world as their primary business location. 
Woops, meant to say the jeans and t-shirt are fine for CHURCH...

It's the only place I have ever lived.. Great place to retire or raise a family. Low crime rate e
living is pretty easy here. Low stress..
In a time where holey jeans and a t-shirt that has some vulgar words printed on it, I'd say YES

We're at 19 1/2 years, and this week he already backed brownies and ironed a shirt for me!

$62.50/every two weeks gets me top-to-bottom scrubs of three bathrooms, polishing of - sm

1200 sq ft of hardwood floors, dusting and vacuuming of four bedrooms and living room.  I type while she's cleaning and make $50/hour, and I pay her $25/hour.  Love her!


Never thought of wearing scrubs, but if you're comfy, sm

that's all that matters.  I did the heels and hose thing for over 20 years when I worked in an office and/or hospital, now my "uniform" consists of a t-shirt and shorts until it gets really cold, then I begrudgingly give up my shorts and go with sweat pants, although not the kind with the elastic at the ankle ... hate those.  I'm tall, so usually most pants end up looking like capri pants anyway, so guess I should just cave in and buy capris. 


A lot of people think because I work at home, I sit in jammies all day, but that idea doesn't even appeal to me.  Plus, first thing in the morning, I have to walk my doggie, and I really do not think the neighbors need or want to see me walking around in my PJs.  But it is a personal choice ... if jammies or scrubs or even typing in the nude make you happy and productive, I say go for it.  :-)


My professionalism is not determined by what I wear.  The UPS or Fed Ex guy would probably fall over dead if I answered the door in heels and pearls.  :-)   But they both comment on how happy I always seem, and that must be a reflection of my love for my job and the comfort of being in the environment I choose to create for myself.  :-)


Yikes .. this was supposed to be a short little post supporting the lady who wanted to wear scrubs.  Guess it's not only the docs I type for who are long-winded ... oops!


Happy Saturday everyone!  


I went local. Great local tech support, they know what I do and were able to set it up just for me
:)
Wear scrubs, they're comfortable and you fell like you getting dressed for work See message.
Go to a local scrub shop, you can get a big bag full for about 100 bucks
The position varies from place to place..
Sometimes you end up doing VR, which can be really easy or a real pain. Sometimes you end up simply editing files and all is good. Other times, you end up with more job responsibilities and hours than you ever wanted. All in all better than typing LOL.
local
I am in a small town in Florida and I had one set up by a local one person company, cost me about 500 and he gave me a 5 year parts and labor warranty, I had a minor problem with it, I took it to his store and was back home in an hour - didn't have to have it shipped to me, didn't have to wait for "rebates" and would do it again any time.
would the local
mental health center be able to help? (if a child psychiatrist is not affordable) Might Social Services have a referral, or a crisis hot line possibly have referral information?

I think this child probably either has been exposed to visual porn in some form or is mentally ill.

Pray for them all too.
I have a local ISP (sm)
I have a local ISP so unless you live in the State of Michigan I am afraid this won't be much help to you. :) Here is the link anyway, just in case. :)

I would take the local job. sm
what is so nice about the local job is that you have the same dictators over and over.  You can use your expander/templates/macros, etc to get really fast on a local account and work less and make more.  Good luck.  The local jobs are the best IMO.
I do both. Go local. Luv my local job. nm

Hi there! If I did a local account for a hospital, would I still need a license? I know for the state I am in I would need one if I had accounts of my own. Thank you so much! 
Need to look for something local, like
a small clinic or doctor's office to get your foot in the door and get some experience. Most larger places require experience, but some only a year or so, so see what you can find locally, even if PT, and start there.
You, well you have obviously put ME in my place
with that little lecture. Since youd didn't say anything meaningful to respond to in all that bandwidth, I won't respond to any of the content of what you said.

But just for your information, your little tyrade had no affect on the reality of what is going to happen, so get over it and get used to it.
I saw that place on TV (sm)
a lot of celebrities own there!
It is most definitely not OUR place to be
making phone calls or turning people in.  The doctors and nurses are trained to do it as part of their job.  If they suspect abuse, drug seeking, whatever, it is up to THEM, not us.

People are right when I have been told - not many nice people in this field. My first week coming on here to look for help and talk to other was this past week and you know what, you can have it. I will look for other places to figure out my problems with work and I suggest you look for help with your personality problems as my work problems do not require nearly the attention your personality does. Good bye and thanks for nothing.
I am not sure if you tried this place..
Did you happen to go into your closet and look for a reference book only to find the administrator of this forum smelling her finger?
I have never been to a place that does that and
would not shop at one.
Not every place is like that at all.
Not very believable.

then that's what you should have said in the first place.

This place makes no sense to me.  People are mean here.  I love cafemt.  Makes the job fun.
