I find you do tend to skip maybe a word sometimes when you dont reread. I guess

your brain doesnt keep up or something.  I dont know what causes that.


Dont miss it at all......

Been without it for a year now.  I have a greater appreciation for PBS!!  And, I find that since I have the television on less, I am much more productive.  My kids are out of the house now, I currently live alone, so did not need cable. 


I do get my fix of viewing when I spend the week-ends at my fiances place tho.


After 18 yrs, I proofread as I go.. Nobody should sit and reread every word when on production.

Control freaks always want to home school. I should have known.

Okay, honey, go ahead and post. I know you're itchin' to!

I dont even know if it is a real word, I just hate it-
How about the new commercialfor a cell phone company where the girl talks in abbv. Something about her "BFF Jill". That is kind of cute, but I dont understand all this language!! Now "aint" I understand!
ASTAT Transcription--Can't find anything in archives
Any information on ASTAT Transcription?
How do I find out if a local hospital's transcription is done in-house or not?
Can someone please give me some advice?  I am trying to find out if one of our local hospitals has in-house transcription or what company they use for their transcription.  I called the MR Dept. and the lady acted like she did not want to tell me anything.  She said some was done in-house but most of it was done electronically and would not elaborate as to what company they used.  How can I go about finding out who does their transcription for them.  I never see any actual job opening in the MR Dept. or for transcription for them, so I am assuming they outsource most to a transcription company.
Keep applying at jobs is my opinion. Find out where your local hospital transcription is done

I tried to find this on the Word board...
but had no luck. Do you think maybe it is a solution that they use solely at the facility you are transcribing for? Is there maybe a Dr. Schimmel and he has made his own solution to use on his patients? They do that sometimes. Do you have any way to check with your account and find out if this is something that they use only there?
Where Can I find Microsoft Word 2003? sm
Is this the same as Microsoft Office Word 2003? I need this particular program, and can't seem to find it on the net any place.  Any advice?
Thank you, could not find it in any of my word books or Google

Only one word or phrase at a time with Find & Replace.

How is using a 10" screen laptop/netbook in MS Word or doing transcription? Is it satisfactory?

I was thinking about getting a 10.2" screen "netbook" or laptop for use with basically Word and the internet concurrently.  I wondered if it was feasible to use as a backup for doing transcription.  And, I'm not sure what the difference is between a netbook and a laptop.  Basically I'm wondering if a "netbook" could handle the applications necessary to do transcription, i.e., needing to have Word open, internet open, wavplayer open, and abbreviation open all at the same time.  Anyone have experience with this?  Thanks.


Dont you think MQ will just keep hiring new people who dont know they lost lines because they are

new. I betcha.


I always reread

I never send in a report without relistening to it.  I first type all the dictations at once and then speed up the dictation between 200% to 250% and go over everything.  I leave everything to the proofreading, checking up words, referring physicians, correcting mistakes etc., unless the doctor is really slow and then I correct my mistakes as I go along, but still proofread.


Since quick typing is so essential, I don't want to stop typing in middle to check things up and I found mistakes so many times (even small things like an extra comma, a missing letter, he/she, etc.) that I don't feel I can send it without proofreading.


I'm not the OP -- better reread
I simply googled it the same as you did and the same as the OP did. 
If you would reread you would see
I said I worked more than 1 job always through my years when I had children to raise. I always worked and kept at least TWO jobs, sometimes more. I would have fell on hard times IF I had not been willing to get out and find jobS. People sitting waiting are putting themselves behind the 8 ball. I never wanted to have less, always be comfortable and that is what I strived for.
I reread each report.

You might reread it, too. I'm just sayin'. nm

You should reread her post . . .
I happened to notice that she did not post that until after my youngest was home (a clue), and the content of her post suggests that she was pretty happy that things went well for her kids on their first day . . . one down, 179 to go (what do you think?)
Please reread the post above yours.
I think you might have misunderstood what the poster was saying. Her post and your post are apples and oranges.

As a former recruiter, I might waive experience (not testing) from two of the big three, after talking to the owner. Depended on the QA situation at the time, as every "newbie" needs more attention, regardless of school.
I just reread your post
and wanted to add that I did sign papers, I filled out papers, I included everything I wanted in the settlement, and the issue is the VIN# not being included, and that's what I have to have in order to get his name off the title.  The crook just didn't give me copies of stuff at that moment and said he would be sending me out copies, which he never did.  After the hearing (since I've never been through a divorce), I assumed I wouldn't get any paperwork right at that moment and thought, again, it would be sent out to me, but it wasn't.  Hope that makes more sense.
Went back and reread and it is
in YEAR you reach full retirement $1 for every $3 you earn. In the years BEFORE full retirement age, then $1 for every $2 you earn. You are really penalized for taking retirement in the years leading up to your full retirement age. Before FRA 1 out of 2 and year of FRA 1 out of 3. All that mess cuts out completely when you reach your full retirement age- still working, nothing to pay back to the feds.
If you dont try to fill in blank or research, dont

The Dorland's Cardiology Word Book is good, too. Might find books at half.com even if a few years

You need to reread the post. I didn't say
all the freebies were scams. 
Do the majority of MTs reread or relisten to all the reports you do and how much time does this take
or I suppose rather which is more effective and takes less time. Do you do this for every report you do. Do the big nationals require this. I suppose it depends on your QA score if you need to do this.
The way I understand it if you dont keep below 10 to 15% QA you dont get the bonus even if your QA
score remains above 98% so you see as the other poster said you are between a rock and a hard place and I expect this is MQ way of getting out of paying a bonus to people. I see it this way anyhow. I plan to continue to send unclear things to QA and that is the way it is. I expect depending on the new pay scale on top of this they will be losing a lot of MTs anyhow as they continue to miser everyone out of money.
Do you honestly think they do. I dont. I dont think some of them can even understand some of the

 reports they listen to quite frankly.


If you dont want to read a thread, then dont.

Yes she did play the single mother card. Reread the last line of her post... (sm)
the one that says, "She has really messed things up for this single mother."

Now substitute the phrase "single mother" for "black person", so the sentence would read: "She has really messed things up for this black person."

Now tell me you wouldn't believe somebody was playing the race card if they wrote that? It's the same with the "single mother" crap. The difference is that a person can't choose what race they belong to, but a single mother DOES have a choice. They can choose to:

A) Keep their legs closed.

B) Use multiple forms of birth control simultaneously to avoid getting pregnant.

C) Get sterilized.

D) Be more selective about who they sleep with.

or

E) All of the above.

So, it's not a matter of interpretation; she was playing the "single mother card" the same way some people get accused of playing the "race card". A pity party is a pity party, no matter who it's coming from.
