FEMA will give $2000 to each displaced family IF

they can provide an address where they will be in 14 days. These people have no idea where they will be tomorrow, let alone 14 days. Another example of the disgustingly poor management that has been so evident this 1-1/2 weeks.

Displaced editor
Which company is downsizing so we make sure all of us QA folks stay away from them?

Now they want to divide FEMA and Homeland Security into separate entities, with FEMA CEO/HEAD also being elevated into a cabinet position

Katrina's Displaced Pets
As most of you know by now, lots of the evacuees are refusing to go because they don't want to leave their pets behind. For all you you pet lovers out here, I've found two sites that are trying to help out in this area that I thought I'd pass on...
www.hsus.org (Humane Society of America)
www.petfinder.com
Excuse me..these people were not displaced
either local, state, or federal...they were displaced due to a HURRICANE!. Help them get over this preventable tragedy? How do you prevent a hurricane the size of the Gulf of Mexico from running into U.S. soil? Let's see..I don't know what the president has been doing since 911. He should have been trying to figure out ways to knock apart a hurricane before it hits land. What a screw up he is.
Yup, just a displaced/relocated creep. Let's not
forget PLEASE don't forget that there are approx 2,000 registered sex offenders - now unregistered, who have vanished and relocated. Uggghhh. Perfect chance, a natural disaster, for them to crawl under a rock and lurk for some poor victim.
your humour seems so displaced in this thread
to a therapist ASAP.......
Brown/FEMA
E-mail the White House, your congressmen and senators, your newspapers, the Times-Picayune and everyone you think may help to demand the immediate firing of Michael Brown. Now is the time. He needs to go out of there. His bold-faced lying takes all American people for fools.
Displaced Editor trying to find a home
I am a good Editor trying to find a new work home. The company I work for is downsizing and I am afraid I am next. I would like to have a place where I can have benefits as I have children.
Does such a place exist anymore?
Thank you.
Yes, and FEMA went through this exact scenario
for this storm with the same demographics and destruction level almost a year ago with NO and they were told they would not survive, given a list of procedures and policies to put into place, etc., and a hefty grant to initiate all the action...almost a YEAR ago. Nothing was done by NO authorities. Nothing.
He will have his share of blame for this, I'm sure.
Brown & Fema delay
I JUST read that myself on the AP ...I have not been one to judge quickly because there is so much blame game going on but this.......it's just inexcusable and if proven (which I'm believing it to be if the AP has the memo), then Mike Brown not only needs to lose his job immediately but also needs to stand trial for negligent homicide in all the deaths that could have been prevented IF he had not worried about his "wording, CYA he was doing" in that memo, thank God for the common folk who had the decency to start with their humanitarian efforts and got down there when they did and despite.FEMA. I also heard that several companies like Wal-mart and RV companies were turned away because of not having the proper contracts ready, duh...FEMA did not provide them
How DARE he????????? In my book, he will be at the head of the line of many who did not want to give up their "power" along the way to help the very people who they were voted by and sworn to represent
2 cards - FEMA and Red Cross
They haven't gotten to the FEMA ones, I don't think yet, but the Red Cross ran out of their cards today in Houston at the GRB after people stood in line for about 6 or so hours. They thought there would be rioting. Yeah, we are having a great time here in Texas.

family is family wheter 3 or 8 sm
i live in MA and $1200-$1400 a month is what good health insurance costs, ie $20-$40 copays. it was just passed into law that if you live in MA you have to have medical insurance so without being self-employed, you can go right to BCBS etc and get a plan directly from the major health insurace companies, but for a family plan and a decent income bracket, forget it. the prices are outragous. right now my husband pays $120 a week for family plan and this is after his employer pays 30% of the total cost. we have $20 copays, but we have a $2000 individual deductable per year with a $4000 family deductible cap. so when my daughther needed her tonsils out, $2000 and when my son broke his arm, $2000. someone on this board has to be able to tell you what they pay for insurance through their company as an employee. good luck.
The girl was 13, the rapist a distant relative they took in. Give money, give food and your time, b
you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.
there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to
do what is right. If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child. "you suck" That is so immature.
She is responding to you and you are eating her alive. Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it.
I am really astonished at how people can act on here. Would you treat people like this in person? If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends.
Remember we are all "HUMAN."

What about over 2000?

THE POINT: The $2000 was for
knockoff or from the store is not a necessity in anybody's book and
is a slap in the face of the taxpayer who underwrote the $2000.
2000 is only the beginning
Believe me, that $2000 is only the beginning. I do feel for these people but many of them are only used to hand outs and they will be getting them left and right. Lets see how many of them stand in line for a job. I heard that WalMart will hire any evacuee, no matter what. I wish they would report how many have been hired thus far. I was watching Fox news the other day and one of the guys they were talking to said something along the lines of "They aint helping us at all, its like they shipped us all on slave boats again" He then said the F word, which Fox didn't see coming because you could hear it plain as day. Now that is the state of mind of many of these people. Give me, give me. The welfare system has tought many that the government will take care of them, they do not have to take care of themselves. Now I am not talking about all the evacuees just the ones that are not used to fending for themselves.
Okay, said what I had to say. This just all gets to me.
Try Word 2000
Look at some online discount software places. I picked up Word 2000 CD only (no book, no frills) for $30. Seems most of these outfits require Word 2000 and up. Try softwareoutlet.com; that's where I got my CD.
2000 lines a day
I used to do 2000 lines a day but I had only 3 hospital accounts. Sure, it would be easier to do that many lines per day and more if you have easier accounts (and if you have 1, like yourself, definitely more), but unfortunately most people have lots of different accounts - and where I work, there are over 350 accounts and people sort of have to do whatever comes up, so it is MUCH more difficult to do. It all depends on if you are lucky enough to have 1 account, like yourself, or have to "go with the flow" with whatever comes up, which is infinitely more difficult. Kudos to those who can produce 2000 lines a day WHILE DOING lots of different, difficult accounts. YOU are the ones who truly deserve respect.
I do 2000 lines a day...but...sm
I also have to admit to having only five accounts, mostly with acute care, with only a few ESLs and few Op notes. We go live on the 15th so I probably won't be in the 2000 Club after that, although hopefully, as I get used to things, my numbers will climb back up.
2000 lines...
I think if you are an acute care MT with several different accounts and quite a few ESL dictators (normal for most hopsitals), if you kill yourself and resign yourself to having no life at all, you could do 2000 lines or more easily. However, I don't think it's worth it.
Those of you who do a lot of lines (2000+) a day,
Now I know a lot depends on how many characters per line but putting that aside: How do you get in a lot of lines every day?
Do you sit and work nonstop? Do you type at a leisurely pace or bang your keyboard as fast as you can? Do you use an expander? A word completion software like Smartype? Are you able to keep up with everything else - house, kids, DH? Do you just keep on typing till you get all the lines you want? Do you set a goal for yourself each day, or just type every chance you get and what you end up with is okay with you?
Just wondering cause I know even though I've been an MT many years (23) I am sort of spoiled. Had many years where I had easy money accounts and made money not really even trying and not working very hard. Well now I have canned my own accounts and working for someone else at a respectable line rate - but I find myself wanting to type 1000 lines a day and stop and I need to make more money than that. I guess I just got lazy!
So if you don't mind, share your tips!
2000 lines a day
I can send you my line count sheets. get one daily. why would I get on here and lie.
Word 2000
Hi All ! I'm using Word 2000. Is it necessary to upgrade to newer versions of Word?
Had mine done in 2000 (I was 39) sm
outpatient hospital and the combined total with everything included came to nearly $10,000. That was with the anesthesia fee, etc. I didn't get them both done at the same time. Of course, I probably got charged more since I have insurance. Did the worst one first and 5 weeks later did the second. What an absolutely amazing difference. I was severely nearsighted and doctor corrected it with a stronger lens and even though I still wear bifocal glasses (for astigmatism) I see so much clearer. I didn't even realize they were that bad.
I took it in 2000 and it was a breeze for me then.
But I didn't maintain it. Has it changed much, does anyone know? I keep hearing it's not easy and am just wondering if it's now more difficult than it used to be. I am trying to decide whether or not to do it again.

Anybody know if MS Word 2000...
can be used with Vista. I want to go out and get a new laptop this Monday. I have word 2000. I looked on the web and found Word 2007 but it is quite expensive. I would rather not have to purchase word 2007 and new pc as that is a bit pricey for me right now. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
I do 2000 lines a day
I work about 6-7 hours a day and do approximately 2000 lines in that time period. My company only requires 1200 a day, but I want 2000 a day to have the money I want.
I get 2000 lines a day...
I get over 2000 lines a day, and I post on CafeMT all the time. I work really hard to get over 2000 lines a day. I work at least 9 hour days, and most of the time, those of us who hit those really high line counts work 10 or 12 hour days. I also get a lot of ASR and I have a lot of expansions. I also proof each and every report I send in. I care just as much as anyone else about turning in good quality work.
Why do you need 2000 for EXText?

Since 2000, my income has gone down sm
every year and I am working more hours. That's it in a nutshell.

To anyone doing 1600-2000 lines per day
Just wondering what exactly your day is like, how many breaks, do you have tons of macros, on average how many hours do you spend typing, how often do you get up. The biggest question of all, don't you get hand cramps?? Anything over 1300 and my hands start cramping/getting numb! Just tell us your secrets, I would love to produce at least 1800 daily!!!!
$2000 signon MQ bonus
i questioned those bonuses myself to my supervisor when I was turned down for a raise. how much sense does that make when it's a new person that has to learn the account? why not keep employees happy who are already there -- oh, excuse me, we're talking about MQ - nothing logical seems to rule. like i've seen so many say maybe there is something else going on that we don't know about.
as to your career change, i'm contemplating the same thing myself, just haven't figured out what because the transcription business is not about the MT anymore.
I bought Word 2000 for $30
at softwareoutlet.com. It was CD only, what they call OEM.
Personally, I don't care what bells and whistles the newer versions may have, I refuse to pay hundreds of dollars for a word processing program.
Poll- more than 2000 lines/day
It seems like a lot of people on this board think that 2000 lines is unheard of. Are there any Transcriptionist out there that CAN make this? I have a pretty easy account, but I can do upwards of 3000+ lines per day. ANY one else out there?
I use word 2000 and have the same problem
I put "year-old" into my Expander as "yo" and when I type the number, I put the dash after it, like 10- then the "yo" without a space and it works.
HTH
Just wanted to say that I have mine set at 2000 as well. :) nm
