I must be having a brain freeze today, sorry I spelled gratful wrong, oops.

Deeply Saddened -- I understand.  I just found out our company is not giving us a bonus this year.  It is disappointing, because since it was done in the past, it shows how they are making their cuts.  In this case cutting staff appreciation. 
grateful
I am grateful to have the work and that is why I do type them and anything else that comes my way.  I was looking for a way to increased productivity.
I think you should not "vent" but be grateful you have
freedom to have any surgery we want anytime we want!


In reply to grateful
It does feel kinda good to put a voice behind us, it is rather empowering. For years we sat back and let AAMT do our talking for us and we see where that got us. Transcriptionists are always too busy to discuss or debate things in the office we are always plugged in...this feels really good, let's keep it up...keep writing, talking, pushing. GO MT's we can do it.
Be grateful, a lot of people don't get raises-- sm
I will probably cap out where I work next year.  My husband is lucky if he gets a cost of living raise, he generally will go a 2-3 years w/o a raise then get 3% if we are lucky, 1 year he only got 1%.  Yeah it would be nice to get a better raise, but in today's economy be happy that you are getting one and that you have a job.
Be very grateful someone is giving you feedbac
You must have some talent for them to keep working with you! But be a little humble and grateful for any kind of feedback you get. Try to develop your own "suspicious" ear when you hear something you're not truly sure about. That's your responsibility to train yourself after the training. No MT learns it all in a training program. Years and years of listening and typing and researching is how you become a decent MT. And then you still will never know everything--ever. It's good you took the training, just know that it's better to get feedback from a good service than not be able to find work because you don't know what you're doing. Keep listening, researching, and typing and will eventually click. Best of luck to you.
Mine was for $21.00. Guess I shoudl be grateful, huh? nm

I'm very grateful to have this forum and for your hard work.

I think the poster is saying right now be grateful with what you have... things could be much worse!

I was getting excited.

I was thinking you were going to say you had rubbed it all over you and it somehow helped. 


Now I'm just excited!
So many options. I'm going to look into several of these suggestions tomorrow when my mom comes up.
Just can't get excited about ....sm
some guy who doesn't wear deodorant.  I used to think he was pretty cute until he annouced that to the world.  Pretty much ruined my image of him.
I did...once...I got all excited but..sm
After years of waiting to get called, I finally did. Made arrangements with my work, took the day off. The lawyers asked a lot of questions like: Do you have any acquaintances in law enforcement, have you ever had a run in with the police, do you think you could be fair and impartial, that kind of stuff. The case was for so-called excessive use of force by the police and the guy was one of our local druggies.

Long story short...I spent 6 hours downtown at the courthouse, they needed 13 jurors, I was #14. It was interesting though, to go through the process.
You are absolutely right. I am very lucky. I didn't sound too grateful but I am. nm

Feeling healthy mentally and physically and being grateful for that. nm

You are so right! This list makes me grateful for my Instant Text! nm

Not Recruiter, Just Excited
Not a recruiter, never have been, wouldn't want to be.  Seeking honest answers for something someone with no experience things may be too good to be true.  Thank you for your opinion, though.
I must have been vewwwy excited!
x
that's okay, you are just excited and it is late--sm
and you have probably been typing all day, so the ol' fingers probably aren't working right. I wish you all the best! You are doing what I have only dreamed of my whole life! Love to write and *settled* for typing transcription. Good Luck to you!
I was excited until I realized you have to buy this..

I am so excited to see this movie.

I never saw his other 2 movies, but I am so glad he is making this, and I hope everyone will watch it. 


He mentioned on Oprah that health insurance companies are required by law to turn a profit (for the benefit of their stock holders), and in order to turn a big profit they feel they need to deny care to patients that need it.  The laws obviously need to be changed, and healthcare needs to be a right, not an outrageously expensive privilege!


Geez this gets me excited!
I just ordered this program yesterday and am SO anxious for it to arrive.  I have been an MT for about 4 months using only the Expander build into Inscribe.  I have a feeling my whole world is about to change.  THANKS for all the participation on this thread
Don't you love it when you get all excited s/m
to get a 16-minute report, and then it ends up being 2 pages long?  I was thinking, "all right! Lines!', and she spends so much time p-ing around, flipping through the chart, yawning, etc., I can practically type right along with her.  Erg.....
In college in the room next to our, they would blast Grateful Dead music all day - sm
we retaliated by blasting AC/DC. They got the point and stopped blaring their music. I'd pound on the walls and ask her to keep it down because you are trying to work, might help, it she gets louder and more obnoxious I'd call the police, disturbing the peace and all. She won't appreciate it but it would sure make a point, and if she kept it up you just keep calling the police. Good luck.
Don't get excited. You should have provided it to begin with. nm

Thanks so much for the info!! I am very excited about working for them:)
nm
As if a transcriptionist would be excited over making
$9.60 an hour filling out surveys when s/he could be working a real job and making at least twice that or more.
I got excited when I reached 2400 lines per day.....


and then my account decided to go overseas so now I jump around a LOT and can't get 1500 consistently, although I do TRY!


Very excited about the Sopranos coming back

Well call me silly too......because I'm excited for ya!!!! Congrats! nm

Well I've ordered mine! I'm so excited! nm
nm
Got so excited about my fantasy, the name did not make it...Andy Garcia! nm
nm
Curiosity piqued.....whatcha excited 'bout??? nm
.
Before you get too excited, most hourly QA jobs have a line count quota too.
so if you had trouble getting quota as an MT, it could be that you might not make it as a QA either.
Don't cap happy holiday season. Cap the others and Happy Holidays alone. nm

Heck, I did not say not to wish her a happy birthday! She deserves a happy birthday.
I was just saying her birthday was on Sunday!! :) Why does everyone always want to read something negative into everything on this board. I certainly did not mean anything negative by it! I was just makin' it known WHEN her birthday was!!
:)
HAPPY FOR YOU
Glad to hear you found the perfect match....I am still looking for someone to really work my own schedule like they advertise. Enjoy!!! If you have any suggestions for me finding a place to work your own schedule, let me know..
YES, i am happy there too, after 5 yr!

To Happy MT
I am happy at MDI just wish they would send a little more love our way.  I switch to different accounts when they are short and work many weekends and if I am correct I have worked most of the holidays.  I get a phone call or email last minute that they need coverage and I do not say no.  I start early and finish late.  I have talked to others in the same boat and they are sad..  I know they merged with Transend and it takes time to  get things in order but when it seems that some get the bonuses and some of us are overlooked it does not seem right.  I think they need to look at everyone in the same light and do the right thing.
Is anyone happy with MQ?
???
Happy now!
23 the first time (then-husband got the 7-year-itch). 34 second time. I had two miscarriages the first time around. This marriage - We have two great little boys!!
I am very happy nm

Happy so far
Hi, I have only been with MQ for 7 months, but I have friends that have been with MQ and have tried other companies, and the consensus is...their new system DQS (DocQscribe) is VERY user friendly compared to other company's systems. AND, as far as WE are concerned, MQ is very flexible time-wise. But I have read other posts that maybe new hires are more chained to a set schedule. My friends and I are out of 2 offices that seem to be very lenient as to scheduling. Personally, I work more hours than I signed up for. But, if MQ were to call when I am away from my computer, (bathroom), like a poster below stated about a different company, I would be VERY aggravated, especially since I am post-colectomy with less than satisfactory results!!! (If you get my drift.)
Be Happy about it
My 20-year-old son suffers every day from injuries he received during his high school football career. He has had broken bones, dislocated shoulders, and he has to wear a mouth brace due to jaw injuries. The medication he takes for his jaw has caused a stomach ulcer, which along with the pain from the jaw, caused his blood pressure to elevated. He said more times than I could count, "I wish I had not played football." Support his decision and be happy that he is not out there getting all banged up.
Happy here
Look, most people who are happy with a company don't just get on a message board to say, "I had a great day at work today," or "I think I make a decent wage and I'm happy with it."  They get on to complain or ask questions or just to surf and see what others are talking about.  The people who are complaining are loud and you hear them a lot.  MQ seems to have more MTs who have been with them for 5+ years than any other company.  That should tell you something right there.  
Happy MQ MT
I wonder about the people that are so unhappy about MQ. Where did they work before? Was it inhouse? Did they come there direct from a school. What is it that makes the difference of some people being happy and others very disappointed. Why do some have an abundance of work and others have none? Is it the quality of work being done?
I am happy!
I am happy working at MQ. I come to this site usually for a good laugh, and sometimes I do post. I don't flame the people that complain all the time, I just wonder why they do?!?!?!

We should start a poll - Are you happy with MQ or aren't you - no big explanations - just a YES OR A NO. My answer is YES!
happy
I am happy with MQ!! I think the people who are happy with MQ (and I think there are a lot) just don't take the time to say so...so today I am!!
I USED to be happy but......
I haven't had a decent line count in almost a week and it has been 6 months since I had a second phone line installed and I have yet to see a single dime in reimbursement that I was told I would receive.  Why do I stay?  Because this is my first MT job and I've only been there a year.  Who else will hire me at this point?
I am happy!!!
