    Frank still loves the ranks even if you are rankled by Frank.
    Frank cares.  Didn't you get your chapstick?  He doesn't want you to get chapped lips.  Now that beats a raise doesn't it.  Money is so impersonal.  MQ chapsticks mean so much more.  Lots of thought went into bypassing raises and just mailing those chapsticks that are clever enough to fit on a keychain that Frank including.  That's big!
    Listen Mrs. Frank MQ. Just because Frank gave all his MTs a chapstick doesn't mean

    he loves you less.  You have to learn to share such a charismatic dude as Frank.  There is enough Frank for all of us.  Now go wipe your eyes and get your chapstick and be ready for Frank when he finally gets home.  He has worked hard today looking for Christmas presents for MTs to top the chapsticks and that's not easy. 


     


    PS:  I hear he got us nail files to keep us MTs prettied up.  How cool is that?  Maybe you could help him get that MQ emblem on the files for that personal touch. 


    I went to MQ web site where Frank is now answering questions. Looks like Frank
    is running behind on his questions because they are last dated May 11.  Maybe he is in Hawaii?  
    frank has needs just as we do. if frank needs a personal touch, i'm there for him.
    just say the word.  frank has so many stressors perhaps that extra personal touch will enable him to clear his mind and understand the mts who just want to help him.  frank, we are here for you dude.  just say the word.
    so what becomes of frank? who will we go to with our questions? i have bonded with frank.
    will you be keeping him on? can we ask you our deepest personal questions like we did with frank?
    This, in my opinion, ranks right up there with the illegals using....
    your Soc Security number to work under. It's an illegal act, no matter which way you look at it. And, when "they" are tested on the phone for an interview, how is that going to fly? This whole reeks of illegality and purely a *wrong* thing to do.
    In this expensive 21st Century, even a rank beginner deserves
    even 12-15 cpl will be below minimum wage, if the current inflationary trends continue.
    NO, this sounds like good training. Dogs are low rank pack members of any family,
    :+
    There is only ONE frank in the MT world. Frank (Mr. MQ) whatever his last name is.
    We love you Frank! We miss you!
    OKAY! I need a vacation. Frank and fans of Frank/MQ who won the Hawaiian vacation?
    Does anyone know? 
    Frankly, I'm getting really
    This year is just not as good as last year. Maybe it's because the contestants aren't as good as last year, I don't know, but I do know that I'm becoming bored with the whole show!
    Frankly my dear...
    We MQer's are soooo sick of the whining non-MQers who just don't "get it." Sorry if U have so little energy that navigating around our posts is so darn hard on U. Sheesh.
    Frankly, Scarlet ... LOL nm

    Frankly, this all sounds hateful. sm

    Saying you hate coddling minorities, etc., is pretty scary. What's wrong with a play that includes the full religious and cultural beliefs of the season rather than just yours?


    And yes, you could probably tell there weren't any blacks in the audience, but you couldn't tell if there were any Jews.


    There's a lot of hate here and a lot of xenophobia. Frankly, the attitudes don't sound much like Jesus at all.


    I got some last year and frankly, don't seem to work...sm
    for me.  I think they would probably do better with boots on, but that isn't going to happen.  They seem to just heat in the toes and really not very much.  Don't keep me any warmer than heavy socks.  I also have some socks that are to microwave.  They have beads all through the bottom of the sock.  Not bad, but very temporary and tough to walk with. 
    Frankly my dear, I don’t give a
    hoot about what my family or anyone else would THINK about my work, why should I spend my time even considering that?? You only need to burn energy for things you can change, not things you cannot. I think it is a waste of time. People will think what they want to think and all the breath in the world will not change them. Let others vent, I could care less. I have more important things to do besides wondering what people think of me, my family, my pets, etc. I live my life like I want to. As you age, you really could care less about what people think. Waste of time. Do like Sylvia Browne says, if anything toxic around you, be it a child or whatever, you put it aside. Life is too short, much too short.
    Quite frankly Karen, I LOVE MY JOB!!!
    I love my company, my hours, and most of all, I feel I am paid an honest wage (more than I was making in-house at a hospital). So, no, it is not ALL bad. I went through several companies and was very discouraged, but no longer. Good luck to you.
    Frankly, I am not too concerned with offshore
    MTs that give up their control to a company until their lives are adversely affected. 
    I frankly am amazed that most let this happen
    When I had to work and support a family I did not have the option of sitting around and waiting on work. Hubby and I had a talk about this just last night. He said as long as they allow it to happen it will continue. Years ago as a divorced mother who had a family to support, out of work, well then I got out and found something else. I was never without work, in fact I worked several transcription jobs because I always wanted to have more money as I loved to travel and hated to not be able to buy like I wanted to. Never had food stamps, no welfare, nothing from outsiders, just me doing it. Bought a home on my own, cars, traveled, food always on the table. I never just sat and waited for work.
    Quite frankly I am surprised at Snow Bunny
    You have been on these boards long enough to know better. I am very surprised you would say such things in the manner you did. I always held you in such respect. Goes to show, you never really know someone.
    Frankly, if you are an educator, I'm am surprised at your response...
    aren't you required to have ongoing training regarding learning disabilities and disorders such as ADHD? After all, federal law requires that teachers provide accomodations for this "fake disease" so maybe you better catch up with what evidence-based medicine is teaching these days.
    Reading your post and frankly, my dear,
    I do not believe if you transcribe 200 lph manually that you can do 6500 lines a day on Escription. Manually I always typed 250 or more an hour. I now work on Escription and have for some time. You would have had to go from manual from 1600 lines a day to over 800 lph. I have NEVER done 800 an hour and have done Escription now for 5 years. If I kept my foot on the pedal without making the first correction I do not think 800 would be possible. You must be in sales for the Escription platform.
    AAMT has been working on that for a long time. Frankly sm
    I would prefer AAMT start working on getting us better working conditions, a more standardized and fair pay scale, and benefits, instead of certifying offshore MTs and getting involved in offshoring to the extent that they are.  Really, now, which do you care most about? 
    QA works on quota. Frankly, they don't try that hard, either, to fill in the blanks.

    frank
    Hey!  I dont work for MQ and I dont' know Frank...I feel like I'm missing out on something big!
    Well Frank cannot help
    he just does not care. Nobody does. He is raking in the $$$$$. He does not respond to the e-mails, so what is the point. What a way to run the company. So sorry that we are boring you with our MQ issues. You obviously do not work for them.
    To Frank
    My experience was great too for several years....then one day.....POOOOF.   Hard to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear...uh, that's hard to make any money with no work.
    To Frank
    I did just that, figured it out and rectified the situation.
    ohoh-should I know who Frank is? nm
    nm
    Frank's website
    How do you get to Frank's website?  I need to tell him some stuff.
    What is up with you? Are you related to Frank?

    Frank knows that.  What a sourpus.


    Okay, if no one answers I will ask Frank.

    Frank wouldn't like that
    You think a union would let them get away with decreasing ME pay by 20%? The concocted system they use to try and make people think their production has gone up is full of holes. I know they forget we are not stupid if they think we can't see through this.
    Frank Stenosis

    I had a neighbor like this once but after a frank
    She had a boyfriend and they were the have a fight and make up kind. One night they had a particularly nasty argument and I didn't know who was going to win the _ugly word_ you, no _ugly word_ you argument. She kicked him out. We lived in NJ and he lived in Brooklyn and it was after public transportation had stopped running so he was looking at a $100 cab fare home.

    The next day I made a point of running into her and being curiously interested in the bus schedules to Brooklyn and cab fares and when she asked why I was asking, I told her I was concerned for her boyfriend after what had happened the night before, using my best "bless your heart" face and telling her if she ever needed someone to talk to, just knock on my door.

    She avoided me like the plague after that and they started meeting at his house

    :)

    Anybody else get letter from Frank today?

    Got a letter from Frank about "document preservation"  and the ever-threatening "new pay plan."  He keeps mentioning his new pay plan, but never has the balls to tell us what it is.


    Frank did not write me. I am jealous.
    Frank isn't as hot as Gregg but I still wish I could hear from Frank.  He isn't answering my e-mails either. 
    Frank's special place.


    Isn't he cute?  He bought all of us chapsticks and a key chain.  I think that is so sweet.  He likes me the best of all his 10,000 transcribing chicks though.


    So I am the one doing the labor and get 8 cpl. Frank and all the managers
    need a little something-something for all their "hard" work.  We MTs are so
    Does anyone know Frank's email address?
    Does anyone know Frank's email address at corporate?  I feel the need to communicate on a personal level.  Maybe if we ALL communicated with him on a personal level he would be sorry for what he has done and give us all trips to Hawaii and a raise.  Ya think??
    Anyone know Frank's email at corporate?
    I need to tell him a few things.
    We put frank away. as for your questions, please limit them
    to inquiries about chapstick.  Number one, do not leave them in the sun as they will melt.  Any and all other questions I'm forced to get back to you at a later time, be vague or better yet not respond to you at all.  Good day. 
    Lets ask Frank about spaces
    Well, maybe all us MQ workers should send a friendly letter to Frank (isnt he still the CEO?)  and ask if we get paid for spaces.  I have been told in the past I do, however, I have noted a decrease in lines when switching to DQS and dont know where those lines went.  I have to work one to two hours more a day to make the same line count I made on Cottage, in the **good old days**..OMG, not paying for spaces?  Well, then maybe we should not space between words or sentences, cause it takes our thumb to hit the key board and know when to space, Im working here..It working to put in spaces..I should be paid!!..Or, okay, dont pay me for spaces, then pay me more for my lines and my intelligence and my knowledge of medical..
    better yet, write to "Ask Frank"
    on QNet...I have not even seen any Q&A's posted on there since April or May and I know there are a whole slew of them...I wrote one in June...not there either..so what's up with that???
    Frank, I will go get back to work as soon as I
    fix my makeup and put shine serum in my hair to look beautiful typing today for you.
    Hey Frank, I'll work for you
    email me and we'll talk.
    Frank finds it as humorous as you did
    I e-mailed him the link.
    And his cousin, Frank Spasm
    :O
    Whenever I bid an account, I have a frank discussion about TAT...
    really only ER and X-ray need dictation back within 24 hours. For the rest of 'em, it's just a convenience. I explain as a small MTSO I don't want to be the one telling the MT who is sick with the flu that she HAS to get it done. None of my clients have ever complained about their TAT, which range anywhere from 24-48 to 1 week.
    Well... I had a Frank Sinatra wanna be
    He sang an entire appendectomy to me. Sounded a lot like that manta ray instructor in "Finding Nemo". Don't know if he was drunk (he was in the OR and yelling questions at the staff intermittently as he sang).
    when Frank fixes Imail, then I might get his letter.
