It's been fun for us too! Holy smokes, the freebie inbox is SMOKIN!

Holy smokes...you poor thing. How nice is it that this seeming
psychopath preys on the newbies in the business while conducting his business driving around pretending to interview you...shouldn't he be mentoring his new transcriptionists or something constructive?
It supposed to be so insulting to be called the "R" word.
Only whites are accused of being racists but listen to some of the music you hear on MTV, listen to Jesse Jackson and AL Sharpton. Are they racists? Darned right they are! The only difference is that it's somehow become socially acceptable for them to be, but not for Caucasians. We're supposed to feel guilty for whatever is wrong in minority people's lives. Well, we're not. Life is what you make it. If your life sucks, whatever color or nationality you are, fix it or shut up about it.
Holy cow! That's, like, a lot of clinics! In only 7 years? Holy Cow!
Legit place...hmmmm. There are a few out there. Whether they have clinic work is another story. I'm sure someone will have suggestions. But, isn't it cool that you'll probably already know the doctors no matter where you go!
This is not a good choice. There are too many good schools

that have proven their worth. Andrews, MTEC and even Career Step, but I would not choose a school that has spammed the internet in every crack there is as the one you have mentioned.  Find some graduates and see what they have to say.  Go to mtchat.com and do a search of this school. 


good choice. mr. ed provides transportation and conversation.
but isn't he dead? 
Their skin is not a choice. To commit sodomy with a man is a choice.
I don't care if they are attracted to men or dogs or goats. I care that they act upon it.

For anyone who has been on the Skyline Drive in Va and Gatlinberg and the Smokes in TN which did you
prefer or think was the nicest to see. I have been in VA but thinking of driving to TN which is about 10 hours so not sure if it is worth it.
Business grant.

I am looking for someone who has applied for a business grant or any grant and received it. I have been looking for how to apply and where and what is needed to apply?


No company has to GRANT OT. If they
tell you not to work it, then don't. You should never assume with any job there is OT. If there is, just be thankful for the extra money, but never ever count on it.
meant rodney grant nm

ah - I thought you meant Grant...*lol*...nm

Also went to comm. college on a grant
and starting doing a paid internship before I graduated from the 9 month program. I was offered a FT job in-house doing acute care at a major hospital. I did well enough for 7 years that I continued my education to become a respiratory care practioner (where, by the way, I took an initial paycut).
apologizing for Hugh Grant ? He's a doll.
The oysters however, hmmmm.
Look for grant to pay for school. Have heard that MTs can get them because of offshoring of
:+
The word aforementioned is a good word.

E. It is not my choice to make, it is their choice.
Every job has its pros and cons.  The more US MTs we can bring in is that many fewer jobs going overseas.  Besides, I like my job.
I'm only 39, but Cary Grant was pretty hot too, Peter Lawford too.

I think I saw "Pell Grant" mentioned on Andrews site?? nm

How insulting, I wonder which national he is with, SM
I remember someone saying MQ's CEO called MTs "trained monkeys", but this article didn't specify which company.

I'm not suprised by any of this BTW.
Have to post this because I think its both funny AND insulting - sm

This was posted on GURU.com - it's a job up for bidding.  But read carefully and look at all the EXPECTATIONS this person has .... for $20/audio hour.


 


Description:
I am looking for several Document Production Specialists to start ASAP.

Requirements:

*  At least two years of transcription experience
*  Excellent spelling, grammar, punctuation
*  Extensive vocabulary
*  Medical, legal, and general business terminology
*  Ability to research
*  Excellent listening and comprehension skills
*  Detail oriented
*  Ability to follow simple instructions
*  "Just do it" attitude
*  Professional attitude, communication skills and work habits
*  Express Scribe software and foot pedal
*  Microsoft Word
*  Committed to providing a quality work product

Let me emphasize that this is not a simple typing job.  If you have
fast and accurate typing skills, good, but that's not enough.  I have
extremely high standards and you must be able to meet these high standards.   

***If you cannot complete one hour of transcription and provide a
PERFECT transcript within 24 hours, please do not bid.*** 

It is very important that you be able to work without advance notice
and without distractions.  If you cannot do this, please do not bid.

It is also very important that you be able to take the ball and run
with it and not ask a lot of questions.  If you need a lot of
hand-holding, please do not bid.    

If you get frustrated easily and cannot handle challenging
transcription work, DO NOT bid. 

For those of you who want super-easy work for tons of money, DO NOT
bid.

I need for you to indicate your days and hours of availability.  These
days and hours should NOT be flexible.  These should be the days and
times that you are ALWAYS available to work.  You will be receiving jobs
during these days and hours without advance notice and you are expected
to do them, no excuses.

Please don't ask me if work is available.  When work is available, I
will send it to you during the days/hours you have specified.

If you are a serious professional, confident about your abilities, take
a great deal of pride in your work, and don't mind working for a fair
but demanding boss, please bid PER AUDIO HOUR.  Keep in mind, however,
that you will not be paid more than $20 per audio hour to start.


 


 


I responded in a polite way, stating that I do not know of anyone that would take work on a MOMENT'S NOTICE, turn it around in 3-5 hours for the total cost of $20.  I got the nastiest response back .... "Well guess what?  I've had bids for $10 and $25.  So there." 


 


What do you all think? 


That's an insulting offer for someone with experience. Please keep looking. nm

What a joke! Not only is that insulting, listening to that would put me right to

SLEEP!


Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, William Holden, Reese Witherspoon

That is the most insulting, bigoted statement about homosexuals...
I have ever seen on this board. How dare you cram your narrow-minded, hateful, ignorant garbage down our throats when we read your thread in good faith that you had a brain. Shame on you.
response to your insulting post on consulting

 Wanting to start out with a consultant is called being prepared and nothing to do with my capabiilty of handling a business.  both are very two different entitities. Its like operating any other business to get started.  If it was not true there would not be any consultants out there.  both of you might have started 20 years by the sounds of your posts and it sounds like you might have hit it lucky getting by without contracts.  I would rather be safe than sorry but more power to you.  I guess it makes you feel "superior."


Only deleting insulting posts....not normal ones like
At least he's not on a power trip...yet. By the way...if you hate it soooooo much, why are you sticking around to post over and over and over how we shouldn't post?
My post was NOT NOT INSULTING. I just wanted to get some answers
YES HE OR SHE IS ON A POWER TRIP if they keep deleting my questions. Why are THEY AFRAID to answer who owns this company. I will stick around until I get a satisfactory answer. I never said I HATED THIS SITE. Where did you get that from? I am not telling YOU how to post either. So again, ONLY WANT TO KNOW WHO OWNS THIS COMPANY. SIMPLE, SIMPLE QUESTION. NOT an insult.
I just posted a response here and WHY was it deleted? It was not insulting
I was just asking why everyone seems to be so unkind as this person does and just asked for moderators. The nasty posts should be deleted, not questions pertaining to that. Makes no sense to me.
Anyone else offended or insulted to be offered 6-7 cpl? Or is it just me or finds this insulting.
Is this how bad it is that now this is the going rate?? I get sick to my stomach just thinking about it. I need a career change.
The should've just saved the stamp as it would have been less insulting to receive

HOLY COW..can you believe this?

Man dies after 50 hours of playing computer games.

Holy Cow!
I can't believe that's their top out now. I made 9 cpl when I worked for them back in 2000!
Holy Cow! How do you get that much done?

holy cow

I type ortho all day. So for some reason, just for fun???? I decided to give myself a Phalen's test.  (If you aren't familiar, Google it and you will find tons of info, picutres and instructions) Yow, I did not feel it at first but now I am all tingly in the palm and ulnar nerve distribution in my hand.  Probably not a good thing to do when you still have to type another hour. 


Don't try this at home....or at least when you want good use of your hands. Guess I need to review my ergonomic, or not so ergonomic, positioning of my equipment. 


Holy cow
Can you fight the price with the hospital? Thats insane
Please explain what was snippy, rude, arrogant, or insulting in her post.
Sorry, but that's the attitude YOU put forward.  You're the one ranting about not being able to find quality MTs.  You use the same nickname and the same style as someone who posted the same topic a few days ago.  I think you knew that would incite a riot.  Maybe the MTs should start an MTSO bashing post and explain the real reason some MTSOs can't find decent MTs.  You reap what you sow.  If you're only offering newbie rates, you're only going to get newbie applicants.  Maybe it's YOU that is the reason you can't find quality MTs.
Yeah, okay. Don't share your views and opinions. Just be insulting, that's helpful. SM
You do realize that your profession is about more than just you.  We are all MTs.  What is going on in our profession affects us all.  It's not just about you or me.
Way friggin' insulting!! Or getting a job at a higher rate & finding a newbie

Holy cow, that really does work! sm
I never knew you could do that. Will really save my poor old blind eyes. LOL
Holy cow! Now I don't feel so bad!! nm

HOLY CRAP!!!! Here's what I'd do:
1. Get a hotel room.

2. CALL ANIMAL CONTROL!!!!
Holy Cow! - that was infinitely appropriate!
is this for real? 
Holy cow? Yep, a lot of those in India.

Where is this job? On this planet of MT? Holy crap!
