No fire patrol for MQ needed..it's for the flamin' idiots who
WON'T go somewhere else. They just stand there like an idiot saying, "please, please MQ -- Please dump more crap on me...please cheat me more...I'm happy to take it"!! ROFL

I mean it. That's whatcha look like and sound like.

Again...Same old complaints and whine from you? Same old answers from us...Get the heck outta Dodge!! LMAO

Don't ya just hate it when your misery won't produce that for others?!!

We appreciate the comedy routine though, ladies! Always fun to come and laugh at those who are incapable of stopping the big bad companies from using them BY LEAVING. LMAO

You tell them my sister MQMT. MQ fire patrol out in full force today!
But we can contain their idiot remarks with logic.
Venting-why do people keep putting nm and THEN writing a message?? nm means no message - sm
Please put sm if you have a message and NM if there is no message other than your subject line.  It makes it easier when reading these messages.  thanks so much and have a nice day everyone. 
Maybe it's time to fight fire with fire.
I find cherrypicking an absolutely deplorable practice. That being said, perhaps it's time we set aside our integrity (believe me, I know how hard it will be to do) and send back reports also. We are penalized for our experience and dedication. You can be sure a cherrypicker's paycheck looks a lot better than ours. I think it's time we whine and cry about bad dictators and send a HUGE message to corporate by refusing to do them.
whineyweiner patrol
What if every first place winner of any contest had to share with number 2, what would this world be like?????
(extra cool point for sports fans) Cleveland would win a superbowl, Lance Armstrong would have to share the Wheaties box with GOK how many, yaya yaya, yaya..... Let him go out with a bang...... This is not American Idol -
Elliott was yelling Soul Patrol tonight!
Gotta love Elliott. I'll be there to buy his CD...no doubt about it.
Fires
We had an extremely wet winter, which means the weeds and brush grew, well, like weeds. Now that the temp is over 100, everything is dried up and looks like straw, making for a giant tinderbox.
Yes, and so have the fires
I am so tired of looking out my front door and seeing some mountains on fire. There were another batch of lightning caused fires near my house yesterday. I want RAIN and not all the nonsense with the wind, lightning, hail, etc. For all of that, we get 3 drops of rain. It's time for me to get out of here.
Arizona fires
You all have probably seen the horrible Arizona fires on TV.  I can see the smoke and flames from my house-- and could be in its path if the wind changes.  There is a meeting at the high school tonight regarding fire info.  Even though I am SO tired of doing transcription, I would much rather be home doing it than attending a fire meeting--.
I feel so bad for those who are going through the floods and fires.
It doesn't have to be a huge disaster to reek havoc on someone's life and if you are affected by these disasters, my prayers are with you. 
Not just fires. Remember Katrina?
There could be a tornado.  Yes, records are sometimes lost but that is NO REASON to send PHI to a stinking place like India or Pakistan or wherever.  I could give a rip less whether an MT in India has ANY job or not and certainly not mine. 
My boss routinely gets drunk during holidays and fires
everyone. She needs a membership to AA so she can get off the beer.
Glad you're both okay! They say X-mas lights are a cause of lots of fires.
  Guess I'll keep better watch on mine!
it's spelled right. Exo means outside and you know what phrenic means. nm

Fire in AZ
Are you near Payson, I do recall a couple years back, we were there looking for property and when we got back to SoCal the whole area was on fire, is that a yearly thing there?
I would get an attorney to fire off a ...

letter.  I have had to do that several times in the past (not MT related), and it is amazing how quickly things are resolved.  It has only cost me $35 to explain the situation to the attorney and have a short letter sent.  I think it would be well worth it in your case...$35 vs. $1300.


Also, be sure to send the letter certified, return receipt requested.  Even though that is only to obtain proof of delivery, there seems to be something "official" about it...and that can't hurt. 


If you are the supervisor why not fire her? If she
isn't carrying her share of the load and was switched from a different department for the same why is she still there? 
Thank you...truly trial by fire but once you get over it you're stronger. nm

FIRE THE CHERRY PICKERS
They ought to track down your email and find out who you are and fire your arse!!!!
whoa, let me put out the fire while it's still small (sm)


I don't want him to be like so many of the child stars we have all heard of...I simply was asking about print ads, commercials, stuff like that.  He's as cute as any kid I've seen in the Macy's catalog or on the Mott's Apple Juice commercials.  And he is chock full of charisma...and too, I'm just ASKIN'! Slow down on the flames, please...there's only one of ME to fight the fire!


Yes, I used to live and work there! Fire away
with any questions!
I got a fire alarm dictation too!

That is a RIOT!  The one in my ear sounded just like the "Enterprise" going to red alert...and the dude just kept right on dictating but thankfully he pretty much screamed his dictation and successfully overpowered the "bwooop, bwooop, bwooop!" of the alarm.


   


I'd be worried about fire issues... (n/msg)

Great balls of fire! sm
The most I EVER got was maybe 250 lph, and that was including headers, etc., and a word Expander like PC Shorthand. Course I was always a sluggish typist, never the fastest by any means! Just couldn't do that....I depended on my experience and my word expander.
Be glad I am not your boss. I would fire you in a heartbeat.

Betcha they would sure fire someone for not meeting production! nm

She sounds like the type to go off on a tangent and fire you
over her own overcommitments. I'd tell her that you agreed to work M-F whatever hours and that anything else was "extra". You are not being paid "extra" and you don't appreciate the fact that she think's it's your fault she overextended herself. You did not promise to do extra work, you helped her out as a favor. Now she's being ungrateful about it.

Urgh. That's why I never liked working for the small MTSOs. No matter how much you do for them, they never pay you extra, they blame you for everything, they're always overstressed and curt toward people, and they never have anything nice to say. They expect you to be available 24/7 and they forget that they are the ones running the business, not us. It's so easy to blame someone else for your own responsibilities. It's so easy to dump all your garbage dictators and problems on someone else, then blame them for everything that goes wrong. Never an appreciative word or extra pay for overtime, evenings, weekends. Then they wonder why none of us want to work those shifts.
I was so freaked last night. We almost had a house fire
due to Christmas lights.  If we had left the lights on all night, we definitely would have had a fire.  For some strange reason, one of my kids unplugged the lights.  Then he told us there were burn marks on the plug.  The plug-ins had melted the power strip, and the carpet was even hot.  That would have really sucked.  Last year, one of my neighbors down the street lost her home to a fire right before Christmas.
Get OUT! Good for you Albert! Fire Fingers, eh? nm

I would think the school could fire him if he can't effectively teach- sm
and the kids take advantage, etc. It is for his own good as well as everyone else that he can hear. They make hearing aids so small now, vanity is a big price to pay for not being able to hear. I would think though that the school would have good cause to can him though IF he does not try to work to the best of his ability and if hearing aids help him to work better than he needs to do it, no one is going to make fun of him for wearing them (he's a big boy anyway I'm sure he could take what the kids can dish out), I would think he'd have more trouble from the kids without them. Good luck in making him see sense.
It took the fire department to get her out of the house! My GAWD!!!!

Hot dogs, smores over the fire pit before doing fireworks in our
[
And when the fire alarm goes off above your head, MOVE AWAY.

take Amanda's challenge. it's down a lot of posts with a fire tag.NM
no message.
Yeah. They are so fair that they fired their president like they fire everyone else.

where there is smoke there is fire and these lawsuits are pretty much backed up by SEC.
Fraudulent billing, books that are cooked, are not claims that are made frivilously and are not accepted into a court of law without some merit.  Watch and see.  If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it may be a duck.  Apply that to everyone who deals with MQ involved in a lawsuit against them, MTs, Shareholders and Clients.  Plus the delisting by SEC.  Mighty suspicious huh?   Not just one person or entity but three different ones - PLUS SEC.
Retired fire captain. His pension is doing it's thing for us, thank God! nm

I type fire claims/investigation reports
It's really easy work and pays pretty good. It's also nice to have a break from medical, but some of the reports are really sad to type. I do the work for a local fire chief that has a side business and he investigates a lot of car accidents when the car catches on fire. A lot of times there are fatalities involved, and they usually involve children too. They can get pretty gruesome when they go into detail though. I get paid by the page and most of the time I type depo summaries, which are just highlighted parts of the deposition that I type into a summarized report. I actually put an ad in the local paper for transcription work and got this account. It's only about $400/month, but I do MT part time too.
Oh yeah baby, just 12 more hits and I get FLAMED! Come on' give me FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nm

Both. Choice A "can" put you there, but so can a major illness, accident, fire, etc.

with this economy it is harder and harder to work your way out of poverty no matter what the reason for being there is.


If I was chosen, I would learn to make fire and put on weight before leaving. nm

Really really stinks to fire someone in a conference call for gosh sakes. nm

Neighbor has indoor woodburning stove, started house on fire twice. sm
He has vinyl siding and installed the outside pipes himself.  Apparently he is in over his head.  Last year, his siding started on fire and he burnt up his electrical wiring.  When heating season started this year, the fire department was back.  He did it again.  Make sure you have a professional do the work.
If you were putting
your pie hole to good use, you wouldn't have time to be on this board participating in such foolishness. How old are you?
Well why do you not like putting it where it goes?!?!
rude!
Ah, so this is putting them down!!??!! LOL!
My Post: I don't know..... I know many MTs making that in a month...but in their jammies, don't have to fuss with the makeup and only have to leave the house to go shopping! Oh, and they still get the write offs.

And sorry about the sobering up comment, I just coulnd't for the life of me figure out what you were looking at. And still can't! Many posters use initials sm/nm for see message or no message - maybe that's why you're getting confused : )

Just as I am putting away $ for my SM

later years (I have no children to depend on) I expected that my mother was.  Wrong.  I have currently chosen to essentially give up where I want to live, to be with who I want to be, to take care of things for now, but it won't be that way forever.


I am doing it out of obligation right now, but I don't intend to sacrifice the next 10 or so years of my life to keep doing this. 


Putting myself out there

Has anyone ever done this...?


I am thinking about making a bunch of copies of my resume and writing a cover letter describing my abilities........then distributing it to different clinics around the area. 


I work from home but want a second job as an in-house Transcriptionist to gain some experience and also because I am not making that much money here at home!


Has anyone ever done this?  If so, have you had success doing it?  How about putting an ad on Craigslist for transcriptionist services?


Why would I go backwards? Simple thing is to fire the MTs whose quality is crappy. Weeded out abou
I get paid rather well, but I really should not have to do an MTs job. The point is I DON'T WANT TO TYPE!! Why would I want to be an MT and type ALLL THE TIME?
PS-I don't like putting it over there, but was told had too!nm

My DH was putting together my new desk and he had

gotten to the deep drawer where files go.  He put the frame of the drawer together without putting the bottom of the drawer on.  Fortunately I happened to walking through the room at this point and told him he has to put the bottom in the grooves on one side before he can finishing putting the drawer together.  He tells me that the directions don't say anything about that.  I told him common sense dictates that you have to put the bottom before you put the second side on.   Poor man.  He is very bright, but has zilch common sense.  I'm not very book smart, but have been blessed with my share of common sense and then some, so I guess we made a good couple - LOL.
