Holy toledo batman can this be true? I couldn't do it

Posted By: omt on 2005-07-16
In Reply to: I hope you meant 4000 per 2 weeks> - mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Unless I want to totally ignore my family, housework and total sense of well being!


I only signed on part time because I get at least 4000 lines a week from a local employer.  These are tapes with day sheets and you can pretty much pace yourself if you want to.  No schedule with local.  Sure I might have to work at night sometimes.  It's 8:00 on a Saturday night right now, but I'll have all day tomorrow off.  A WHOLE DAY! I'm finishing up because my kids have gone to the movies.


If I am "required" to do 4000 lines a week on top of my local (and I'm already getting tired of having to have a "scheduled online time" with the national, work available from them or not) I think my hubby and kids will just move out and leave me in my little "hole of an office." :)


I bragged and bragged nearly a year ago about how wonderful it was to work at home, but I'm rethinking.

    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!

    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

    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?
    In case you didnt notice, oh holy one, my story related
    Yes I have worked in customer service.  I did it with a smile, and when I was done, I would go scream in a room, not serve my forked tongue to someone who just wanted to buy a corn dog and some fries. 
    Holy Cow, a gallon of Jack Daniels? I had a whole juice glass once sm
    and was sick for a week, can't imagine a gallon.
    Good choice. Appauling, insulting, and every other neg. MT word ya can think of. Holy Smokes. Grant

    I just had one who couldn't
    pronounce the simplest word, like catheter. He does cardiac caths all day every day, and can't even pronounce the simplest terms for his specialty! They shouldn't be able to graduate like that.
    Saw my name and couldn't help myself here...

    I'm among the 200-odd people who visit every day but don't wanna post because, well, it just doesn't seem right.  But, seeing as I saw my name in black and white up on the screen, I just couldn't stop my fingers from typing. 


    I wicked miss all the jibber jabber, work related and nonwork related.  I miss the usual faces, the usual arguments, the good times, the bad times, the times when I swore some people were on the rag...


    I too got privately disciplined by the former MTStars staff for my potty mouth, got mean e-mails from people who called me a hick, and got awesome e-mails from some great people out there...and I miss it!  All of it!  The good, the bad, and the ugly. 


    We had our little domain name "stolen" a few years ago when we didn't renew it in a timely manner, so I kinda know what it's like.  Except ours wasn't a business, just a place where friends and family that we left behind could see what we were up to.  The web host kept all our hard work and wouldn't relinquish it because they claimed it was technically theirs...I'm not 100% sure, as I'm not the technical person of the household, but I know that basically we had to start from scratch.  You kinda feel violated in a weird way. 


    I'll keep checking for the "other" MTStars to see if it's back up and running, but for now I'll just hang out here and wait.  My personal stuff is all over cyberspace, so I'm not concerned about identity theft or anything like that.  Who in Sam Hain would want my life anyway?! 



    you couldn't pay me enough.
    I was offered a job managing an office that sent all the work to the Philippines. I couldn't bring myself to do it. The manager job from the other board (if that's the one you're referring to)sends their work to India. As tough as times are now, I could not bring myself to take jobs away from American MTs even if it meant a decent paying job for me. Still hoping Obama will tax the heck out of these companies that offshore, but not holding my breath.
    ROFL!! true, so true! nm
    nm
    true, true but out of about 90 flicks....1 or 2...nm

    true, true - but what you see as arrogance...sm

    I think a lot of people go the extreme -


    so, if I had to be one way or the other (being a humble extremist myself...*LOL*), I'd rather have too much self-esteem than not enough (been there, done that the first 30 years!!! *L*).  And I am a truly humble person, been recognized for just that.....but because of *been there, done that* - and all sorts of therapies (not drug therapies), some end up the other way.  Oh well, this was a fun couple of posts - so I thought.


    Gave me much to chew on :)  Have fun!  


    True but to say there are no good MTs not true.

    ROFLMAO!!!! so true! so true!
    Everybody sees it but her, though! I love it! Thanks for the giggle! ":^)
    I couldn't have written it better myself...
    Those are exactly my thoughts. Didn't work for Spheris or Medquist, but did work for Heartland before MDI. I am so happy I came to MDI. I am sure they are not perfect, but I think they are better than a lot out there.
    I couldn't get it friday either.

    Couldn't agree with you more.
    Yeah, I complain, too, but basically this is the best job I have ever had and I can't think of too many jobs where I would the freedom that I do now. I am most thankful for this job (even with all the junk that goes with it). Hope everybody has a good day!
    You couldn't be more wrong!
    Only one poster here, DP, and that's all!!!

    I'm not harassing anyone. I'm responding to the posts I'm sick of seeing. They have a right to complain...and so do I. Their complaints are about MQ; mine are about the whiners complaining about MQ. My right as well.

    Good for you, if you're happy and a good producer!

    I'm not pathetic. I'm tired of hearing it.

    What's funny is that you think you know something about ME! You couldn't be more wrong!!!

    How funny is that?!! Ask Admin to verify if my IP address is different from "No Whining"!!! ASK!! They'll verify that! I'm NOT the same person at all.

    So, in answer to your question, I'll still be DP tomorrow too!! I'll make just as much money, as well.

    :) Enjoy yourself!
    Couldn't agree with you more!
    I agree with you 100% - Well put!

    I had a good deal too, free rent, worked at home, vacations to where ever and whenever I wanted, limos and NYC every weekend, could pack up and go back to work at my mom's for 1 or 2 months at a time for my "family" fix.  I just couldn't keep doing it.  I packed up, came home and last week my GD turned as she walked from my front door to look at me and say, "Bye, Nammy!  I Love You!"  I got a better deal after all


    Oh, I believe you. I just couldn't find it. sm
    And I didn't want to believe it. Thank you.
    I couldn't agree with you more!!! (sm)
    We better bust our butts while we can to prove ourselves against the looming competition, if you know what I mean.
