it's not my fault, the darn quote mark just doesn't post for some reason.
Okay, for some reason, the first quote at the front of qldc does not show up, but in the line autocorrect.entries.add name:=qldc" there needs to be a quote mark around each side of "qldc", not just at the end.
If you want to use this macro -- and find it won't work and are confused my instructions, please write me and I will e-mail the macro to you.
I really don't like the idea of people having to spend their meager pittance of a salary on expensive software to do such a simple thing.
Darn right he's still hot.
Darn!
That's the one I was leaning towards . . . I was hoping to learn that it did not interfere with typing. While wearing the glove it is much easier to type on my AlphaGrip, but I am still not speedy enough to use it full-time. I'm getting there though.
I kick myself when I think how I caused my own hand/wrist/arm injury. Trying to resolve my back pain, I rushed into using my inherited recliner, where I had to "reach" to reach the keyboard . . . my arm will never be the same.
I am in the recliner again now  , but I'm spending a buttload of dough to make it happen. 
Darn! And I
hoped this might be the place for me. Don’t want to have anything to do with overseas. Thanks for the info.
darn it....here's something with a little more pep
yep you can be anyway you darn sm
well please and you have the right to say exactly what you like to say. you can scream, kick, pitch a fit, do what ever you darn well please. But your attitude stinks. I never said I loved the dialect or any of it, but it IS PART OF THE JOB that doesn't make me a candidate to go live in another country. I don't care how old you are or how young you are, you are the kind of person with the attitude that makes every other MT that you work with miserable. I have worked with the likes of your kind and its why I chose to work at home for 25 of my 30+ years in this business. The complaining, back-biting etc of people like you make life miserable for every other person around them.
I always kind of thought that if folks like you took the energy that you use being awful to other people and put it into your work, you would make a lot more money!

What a darn cute name, from.......
well, darn now my avatar went away
darn right, have no clue!
"Have no clue" is an understatement!!! Not being nasty here -- just stating a fact. I know an MTSO who says when she tries to call physician's offices and gets the manager and explains that she is calling requesting to speak with the person in charge about doing their transcription for them, most often the answer she gets is "What's transcription?" She swears they hire personnel based on a certain part of their anatomy and it's not the brain.
Then, if she's lucky enough to get through to the physician in charge, he is not willing to pay a decent fee. She has apologized to me for not paying me more but told me that on some accounts they are only making 1/4 of a cent after expenses (including MT pay). She said they have to bid low to get the work. She hates marketing now.
It is NOT Monday, darn it!!!!
But it's going to be one of those days! I had a doctor give the date of service as 4-8-05, and now I have one of the very worst ESLs ever dictating a colonoscopy, and he says the throat was sprayed with Xylocaine! Think these guys have been hitting the eggnog a bit early?
How do I get rid of these darn popup ads? nm

DARN TOOTIN'..... SM
Suppose you worked in a department store, or as a receptionist, or even at McDonalds. You were given a specific shift, specific hours... you don't have the option of doing your work at your convenience. For argument's sake, say they gave you a 8-4 or 9-5 shift. Suppose there were very little, if any, customers in the department store or the McDonald's in the morning and you were told you had to work after 4 or 5 to make up for this, or suppose again there were greeters at your receptionist job, or no drivers at your job as a tolltaker and you're likewise told you had to work extra hours beyond your shift, or a policeman and had made no arrests in the a.m. and you had to work after your shift until you did to make up for the slack. Get my meaning? IN WHAT OTHER JOB (I DEFY ANYONE TO NAME JUST ONE, BESIDES HOME MT.... COULD THE EMPLOYER DEMAND THIS? Just name me 1!

well darn. I thought I was being wise
in getting rid of credit cards - just down to 1 bank card and 1 store card that I only use when having a sale and we need new clothes and that I have 90 days to pay off without interest.

Been doing MT for 10 years off and on, the last six years at home.
Taurus the bull. Darn right!
Bull with a gentle forgiving side that is. 
I've done pretty darn well (sm)
with the book smarts!
Don't get so tweaked about a silly label -- having a high IQ just means I process stuff faster, remember more of what I'm exposed to, make more connections faster, and do well at taking tests.
I'm also a really nice person and an incredible parent.
Lots of MTs are smarter than the average bear.
Darn..I forgot to watch it
I saw the first episode and liked it. I wanted to watch it but forgot all about it. Remind me which night that's on?

Its a darn shame, Travolta was a beautiful man.
After the age of 40? Men are supposed to have less fat cells anyways, so he is basically just sitting around eating doughnuts to death. With all that money, get a personal trainer and a nutritionist!
Think it's a result of that darn "vote-for-the-worst" sm
group that is skewing all the results. Wish that site could be abolished.
35,500 a year is darn good money to me!!!!!

I think that's pretty darn good! I just started VR on Dictaphone
and I'm having trouble breaking 2000. It seems like it would be faster just to transcribe.

They make darn good money at most large grocery stores
No, I don't tip them. If I thought they weren't getting paid hourly, then I might. I might tip someone who gave extra great service, like coming home and carrying them in the house for me, (j/k!) but most places where you are expected to tip, people just expect the tip and take it for granted anymore and don't always treat you well enough to deserve one!
Coffee just always smells so darn good, doesn't it? I drink 3 cups of coffee... sm
in the morning (used to be 4) w/Nutrasweet, a little regular powdered creamer and a little liquid French Vanilla creamer (yes, I do like it sweet!) If I'm really sleepy and need the boost, I'll have another cup or two.
Then I immediately start drinking diet Dr. Pepper, and not the caffeine-free kind. Love it. I drink diet Dr. Pepper throughout the day and night, about 6 cans a day (it used to be diet Coke). I've joked with my friends and family that it might be time for them to hold an intervention for me with the Dr. P.
I do sometimes worry about the mass quantity of Nutrasweet I consume each day. Anybody else?
I am sorry. I meant boards not broads. Now those darn boards have disappeared again.

I agree..Turn off the darn pager and phone and shove the IM up their..bleep bleep bleep...
I'm sorry but in my opinion you have the worst job I have ever heard of. This explains the constant need for more help. Obviously, they've worked the other slaves to death.
EXACTLY - great post!! not paid enough!! sm
With all that we have to know, physiology, anatomy, pharmacology, oncology, ophthalmology, surgery, equipment, physical therapy, OT, rehabilitation therapy, cardiology and all THAT entails, neurology and neurosurgery, physiatry, psychiatry, psychology, pediatrics someone in this thread has the audacity to say we are less than professional?
Ppppffffffttttttttttttttttttttt
For QA consulting I'm paid per hour; QA instructing (college) paid salary, QA editing paid per li
I am an IC and work for two different MTSOs as well as instruct at a business college.
if mt paid 9, editor paid 4 or 5...how can company charge 14 and make it..sm
I know the going rate in our area is 14 cents per line. As MTs most companies here pay us 8 or 9 cents a line. Now add in the Editor rate at 4 or 5 per line..you are paying OUT more than you can charge a line. How would companies stay in biz?
Unless all work is sent by the company overseas at pennies per line, this would not pay for a company.
just curious how this works out
But how much are the US EDs gonna be paid? Typically this work is paid at 2-3 cpl. nm
:+
You don't get paid an hourly rate you get paid by line - sm
so because of how you are paid (not an hourly rate) you don't get OT, especially if you are an IC.
I would move on. I think it is so unfair not to be paid for spaces! I think we should get paid
per keystroke, but that'll never happen. I just think that these national companies are going to keep finding ways to cheat us. I found a job working for a hospital as an employee, paid hourly plus incentive, and they let us expand everything! Somebody's gonna have to kill me to make me give up this job. I will never go back to the national's again.
I feel for you though. I know that for us MTs those good jobs are few and far between and some have little choice but to work for the nationals. I just happened to luck into the job I have now. I just applied at the right time.
Good luck to you whatever you decide.
If those companies paid a fair wage, and paid more
all came out equal, people wouldn't feel the need to try to make up the deficit by going for the good stuff. I actually prefer the harder, juicier reports. But I can't make a living doing only that, because the pay is not commensurate with the difficulty. So even though I prefer not to, sometimes I have to pick up some of the easier, more boring 'line-o-matic' reports just to make ends meet. Tell your MTSO to make it work their while, and MTs will stop taking all the easy work away that you obviously would prefer to keep for yourself.
You wont show UE being paid because it is employer paid -
the employee will never have to pay this.
What you "should" be paid and what you "are" paid
sadly are two very different things. Good luck on demanding more..because someone else will just come along and take it for what they offer and they know it. 
10$ late if invoice is not paid within 10 days. At day 15 work stops until invoice is paid. Hardly

Ignore my post. I finally found the post on how to do this. nm

Yes, I tried to post same last night about 10 times, and it won't let me post.
I used to breed lab puppies (please no activist flames)! I had a champion female white Canadian lab, and people would be on a list for years if by chance I bred her, which I did twice, and so that I could continue her line. Anyhow, she's my sweet Skye who passed away 2 months ago? At any rate, we had the same problems with kids in the "hood" who wanted to come over and play once the puppies were old enough to be exercised daily and played with. At first I thought, how cute, right? Puppies and little kids - what better picture! Well, the majority of kids were adorable, but there were always 1 or 2 sick ones who would smack the pups, smash and hold their heads in the dirt (a real common thing, but I don't know why - psychiatrist anyone). At any rate, I finally had to ban the whole group due to the 1 or 2 creeps, had to call the police, the whole 9 yards, and that's EXACTLY what the police officer told me - next thing is there will be poison meat or a donut in the yard. He told me to always go out and patrol my yard, especially alone the fence line every day before I let the dogs out, particularly at night. I went out with a flashlight. It was about a month later, but sure enough - poison meat. Because there were so many kids involved, we obviously couldn't pin point the exact family, but the police went and read the riot act to them all. It would stop and not happen again for a year or so, but every now and again we would find something. My dogs were NEVER out and barking, so it was nothing like that - it was just over the puppies and the cruel kids.... Not trying to freak you, but that's the way these kids and their families are. You can really judge someone's character by ill treatment of a PUPPY, of all things. And the parents?? They sound whacked. Please be careful.
Sorry, I posted this post under the wrong post
Sorry

my post did not all post in the subject, my apologies...
I think you can get the idea.
thanks.
Excellent post! I copied this post and...
am going to show it to my shrink so he can understand my frustration with my new "profession!" By the way, how much you wanna bet he pulls in 300$ an hour and has two years of schooling on me! Hmmmmmmm. Okay, you flamers, don't tell me to go back to school...I am thinking about it. Hmmmm
