Happy for you that you found the good stuff...sm

Posted By: I feel very badly for you....your words.. on 2006-01-21
In Reply to: I used to be married to - one of "those" men

Happy that you found a better man than the first husband.  I, too, was married to a controlling (though he didn't get far with me in that regard because I cannot be *controlled* and since I'm a teenager) french frog whom I divorced 15+ years ago for my SANITY.  My sanity became an issue and I became my own Hero........and have been V_E_R_Y happy DAILY without him.  *L*


I will never marry again....fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me.  I believe marriage is NOT normal...but hey, that's just me.....I believe marriage is an institution and I do not need to be institutionalized.

I'm happy there. Haven't found anyone to be rude...sm

I think the office/tech staff is exceptionally nice.   ');>  All I care really is that my work is steady, I get a great cpl rate, I've never missed a paycheck or had a late paycheck in my 2+ years there, and on the occasional times that my work has run out I could be switched to another work pool for more work.  And the benefits are great, but only for full-timers (no bennies for part time MTs). 


If you have any specific questions, let me know and I'll try to answer them. 


By the way, I *think* TransHealth is hiring right now.


Hey, there we go! Good stuff, Maynard.
That's what we needed with the IC stuff, keep it real, now.
Good way to keep her accounts. SOMEONE has to read this stuff over
EVERYONE makes mistakes.
Yeah really Tinks... must be some good stuff!
 
If you want the good stuff, work GRAVEYARD, or

They are giving good stuff to pets and newbies, and if you
gave them your blood for a year they think they can walk all over you.  
Good grief people, what;s up with all this drizzle stuff??

Someone who unfairly grabs the easy stuff instead of doing the good, bad, and ugly,

For this account, I charge 0.12 cpl. It is very easy clinic stuff with good dictators, but ...

I also do tapes which are horrible so I'm considering upping my line rate especially if all this aggravation keeps up.  When I first took the work, I thought I was being fair because the work was so easy, but then they asked me to do tapes and then work specific hours, print and deliver work three times a week.  I wish I would have addressed more than TAT and line rate in the original contract.  I do charge them a $5 per delivery fee because of gas prices, but still I think I'm getting the shaft.


Oh well, live and learn.  I am negotiating for a local doctor's office here in my hometown, small one doctor office, and I'm here to tell you I will be negotiated every little detail right down to paper and toner charges!


Good! I am happy for you then!
See ya later! More work for me! I am sure I will see you on here again complaining about the next company you get hired with. I can't wait for that! I will look forward to it.
God is good. I'm very happy for you.

Found this that would be very good
This one is very good, but you would want to call and ask for XP or just buy the OEM XP and put that when you get it. This is a really good price for what you get in the system. The gaming computers will offer some of the highest performance. If you can or know someone who can put one together you can get even better for even cheaper.

Good for you!. That lady must be happy at Wal-Mart (sm)
Hmmmm...I have thought the same thing, transcription hasn't been that great lately.  What a relief it would be to just put the computer in the closet.
Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. Happy Easter!

I had a good friend who did it and I found out... and
when I found out it was when I was promoted to the transcription regional manager for the branch. It was up to me to do random QA and invoicing to make sure everything was okay. It was really, really sad because my very best friend there who started with me at the same time, on the same great account (we both did well, and this was back in the late 80s early 90s). So, about 6 years later, when I decided to go into QA and then management I did a random on my friend. This was absolutely just by chance. Well, I found out she was padding her lines about 12000 lines per pay period!!!!!!!I cannot tell you how shocked I was. These were the days we went according to bites and divided, etc. We were even allowed to use codes and that was okay too for the extra lines, like bolding, remember. Well even so, she was adding about 6K lines a week and no wonder she was making so much money. She used to laugh when we were friends because she'd put the book on the dictaphone pedal while she ran errands.
My heart broke that day. I asked her to please don't do it anymore. Well, unfortunately she did not listen to me and she got in big trouble. She was not fired, but I do not know what happened because between that and a wage cut some VP did on my MTs, I quit management. BTW: The padding in the case then was because it was an honor system. The MT was to look at the bytes and divide and type on a sheet and send the totals in, much like recent times for some companies. Only these days the software calculates it and usually it is the MTSO that can cheat by cutting line counts in deceptive ways. Oh, my, please this is a long enough note and don't get me started. I may have to hit the New Year's bottle and I don't want to do that because I go to work at 3 AM. LOL . HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. See you NEXT YEAR heh heh.
It's great you've got a good system; I'm happy for you! nm

That is such good news, I am sooooo happy for you and Tom Kitty

very good All Stars 7 I thought - happy Boogie

I am a good MT. However, I haven't found what I need from a company yet.
I agree that not every MT or company will be a good fit for each other.  I just didn't realize that what I was asking for from an employer would be nearly impossible to find.  It's not that I'm not willing to give a little either; it seems like the majority of companies that I have come across want you chained to your desk 24/7 with a ring through your nose to tug on.  They won't pay downtime but they expect you to check back into the system every 15 minutes without pay.  Some people do this without complaining because they feel lucky to have a job working at home.  I'm sorry, but I'm not a doormat.  We already pay the overhead and equipment costs for the companies.  Our benefits and line rates get cut back more and more.  The quality of dictation gets worse and worse because of VR and offshoring.  I'm a good MT, and I deserve to be treated like one.  If standing up for myself means I have a bad attitude, oh well, at least I can sleep at night for not letting anybody walk all over me.
a good resource can be found on the internet
You can go to the labor sites for various states and it will give you some, if not not all, of the information you seek.  If it doesn't, it can give you phone numbers to investigate further.
so is a good grammar book found at any bookstore or online--sm
for HALF the price and their guidelines do not change every six months in them. You know, you people hate AAMT because of them selling the american MT out and condoning outsourcing to China, but then you turn around and buy into their money grabbing scam of their BOS book, which changes its mind every six months just to make you buy another book. How blind!!
Cool stuff. Keep up the good work. Destroy Steal Steal - that is all that Plane is capable of: http:
Nice job. I'm planning to come back here in the future. right Slot will Hope Grass without any questions , when Game Love Chips Win Chips can Loose Round , Industrious Boy is always Beautiful Round Chair will Mistery unconditionally

Oh, I found it really creepy when you said you found the flowers not so skillfully arranged on your
steps, and from your own flower bed.  That's what I was worried about, having gone thru some psycho kids myself with my pups.  Someone's been in your yard and in your garden and at your door without your knowledge.  Its just creepy to me, and I'd still be very, very careful.  Especially valid sounded the other MTs warning you about potential fake molestation charges.  You just NEVER know nowadays, and these people have already turned on you big time once. Luckily (though I don't believe in luck), you had it on film to save yourself and your puppy.  You might not be that lucky next time, and the whole thing just sounds very unstable to me right now.  I know you feel sorry for the little girl, but probably the only time I have ever made BAD decisions regarding my life is when I felt sorry for someone, particularly kids.  My son even has an evil kid in his life, but one who has a million reasons for sympathy, and I was saying how we should "be bigger" than the situation and invite this kid over to play.  Thankfully, I regained my sanity long enough to remember - ever time I have done something like that on a personal basis for someone just because I feel sorry for them AFTER horrible behavior, it has always been a disaster... Be kind, but you don't have to risk your family again. Be kind from a distance.  Its sorry she went thru this horrible experience, but YOU didn't cause it, and its not really your problem.  But it could be your problem if this kid acts out in your life.  Know what I mean?
I think I smell either VR on the easy stuff, or offshoring of the easy stuff.

I think I found it, found multiple recipes with the same
exact ingredients so I figure this must be it. 
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!!
:)
Found it, Prolastin, also found

stuff
I really, really saw a shooting star or an angel or something the day before my Dad's funeral 10/15/00. It was a crystal clear day, I heard something that just lead me outside and I looked up and saw the shooting star or whatever. My Brother-in-Law saw it too because he was outside washing the cars. But it was a calming thing, like he was giving us a signal that he was doing just fine.
QA stuff
I have a hard time with ESL's but I was trying my best
I'd tell them to stuff it, but that's just me
Sick of the way the companies refuse to let the facilities or the physicians know when they're just being ridiculous and take it out on us because we're "nobody important."
Do not buy from the(right)stuff
I paid $390 for a C-phone that worked for 20 minutes. It kept shorting out, and then died. The repair shop said motherboard was fried, not repairable. The guy did not even include the power cord with it. Rip off.
I could become such a cow on that stuff!
It is addictive. Yummy.
Well, I know my stuff, been doing nothing but ER MT
for 10 years...why I don't I get paid for my knowledge, for being a good employee, i.e., never call off even if sick, never miss my shift, and still not valued.  Not sure I understand what you mean in your post about MTs not being good MTs because when you do find a GOOD MT, y'all don't value them anyway!
QA stuff
Hayseed, I don't know squat about QA, but learning something new in this field only makes you more valuable to yourself and to the company you work for. You have nothing to lose, lots to gain, and if you hate it, you can always go back to transcribing. Variety is the spice of life!

Congratulations! Let us know how you like it after you get a few days under your belt.
I do all that stuff too. But sometimes you just don't
Even more often, you don't always get the CORRECT results. Then you end up having to do research on the research. Sort of like looking into a succession of never-ending mirrors.
There's a way to get around all that stuff -
When mgmt. gets stingy about vacations, all you have to do is catch the "flu". A cold, they want you to come in and give it to everybody. The flu, they DON'T! Cooking for potlucks? The easy way: Just say NO to potlucks. Feel you MUST participate? Bring in a small bag of potato chips or carrot sticks. Office meeting? Good time to do those Kegel exercises or other isometrics. Pretend to be taking notes, & have a page of a crossword puzzle hidden underneath. Mentally think of what you need at the market and make a shopping list. Play tic-tac-toe or hangman with the person sitting next to you. If you're stuck sitting there watching someone's mouth flap for an hour and a half, try to envision money flying out of it and into your pocket, which is essentially what's happening. Not getting enough breaks? Develop "overactive bladder", and occasionally overshoot the ladies' room and instead go outside and take a lap around the building. If you have a computer-related pain or injury, a doctor's prescription can buy you mandatory breaks at regular intervals. Nothing they can do about it.
crock pot stuff, one more
This is something I made when my kids were growing up. SO EASY! A blade pot roast is what I always used. Put IN crockpot...sprinkle on a package of taco seasoning mix, NO LIQUIDS. Cook eight to 10 hours. Shred meat and serve on tortillas, put out chopped onions, chopped green chili peppers, avacado, chopped tomato, actually anything the kids like...let them make their own soft tacos. Enjoy.
Maybe some, but I do. However, I have MTs that don't and GUESS at stuff.

Yesterday and all the other old stuff.
Not to worry.  No depression here.  I just think it's a beautiful song.
All the original stuff. nm
