In Reply to: Yeah, I use the ABCZ method too. Didn't know that was what it was called. - RockinMT

into the "global" normals, I will play with it again and give it a try. How long have you been doing transcription? Have you stayed with the same company for a long time? I worked at a clinic for 6 years, hospital for 8, and now this new national for 3 months.....I hate feeling new!

Control, shift, space, all at the same time, should work...nm

I didn't work for the T company, but I'd be interested
to know where you work now if you're willing to share.  Thanks.  I'm getting desperate here.
but if she didn't have any work at the first company, how is she worse off now? nm

Had a fairly difficult time adjusting but,
I believe it is doing my hands and wrists some good. The keys seem more difficult to depress than previous keyboard, and it sounds like a rattle trap (plus the p sticks), but other than ALL THAT, I think I like it.
can you stand on your feet all day, be abused by better than thou customers, work for slave wages?

Yes - reputable company. Easy to work for. Pay on time always. nm

Any suggestions for a good MT for part time other than MQ as far as a nice company to work for. I
think it is time for a change about now.
time to get gain control again
Hayseed, I feel for you.  It's not worth it, no matter what you are paid or the benefits.  Sounds like THEY are in control of your life, not you and you resent it, as you should.  My advice would be to get control of the situation again if you are able to (work something out with them) or move on.  This is just not worth it.  It really isn't.  Not worth your health, the sacrifice of your peace of mind.  Your body and emotions are rebelling big time.  You deserve better.  You know it and that's probably part of the anger you are feeling.  You're no newbie who must endure just to get experience.  Think about a change for the sake of your own health. 
Spheris -- control of time sheet.

sorry I didn't have time to thank you, but I didn't forget!!

I didn't go into labor until 2.5 weeks later, so it didn't work. Sorry!...nm

press Control and at the same time turn tthe wheel on your mouse..nm

Not sure if this will work, but hit control shift 8. This might take care of it.
Hope it helps
Now MT companies in India have control over the work produced. Quality is much

Didn't tell them, but I'm on it all the time
and they haven't said boo.
I'm TRULY, TRULY SORRY. I DIDN'T take the TIME
to LOOK UP a fairly hard to spell word, just posted on a board, not at work, MIND YOU. SEND THE SPELLING POLICE AWAY, I GET IT. I've heard what's been said. I'LL CERTAINLY BE MORE CAREFUL NEXT TIME!!!!!!!
I didn't sign up for it, was begged to do it when company was in need. sm
I try to do everything asked of me for those who pay me and somehow don't know how to say "no" when I am asked to do something. I was begged and I caved in and agreed.
Didn't see last night but saw the first time and...
remember having that same feeling.  Couldn't believe the husband was doing her work as if anybody could do it. 
I tried Relacor, it didn't work because I wanted it to work without
my trying to really lose weight, i.e., dieting.

My true belief is that any product will not work unless you TRY yourself. I had 20+ lb loss with Metabolife (sp?) and really felt more energy.

BUT, I truly believe if I don't really try, nothing will work to make me lose weight. Please know, I'm right there with you and wish there were a magic pill that could make the lbs just shed away.
you didn't ask me, but email me and i will tell you what company i get paid for doing logs with..

Yes, it just didn't help to be unemployed for 2 months at that time.
We got a shutoff notice for Christmas with snow on the ground.
sorry, didn't realize there was a time limit. I
personally just read some of the posts.
Foot pedal control/knee control? (sm)

My sewing machine has a knee control built into the side of the cabinet and I find this very comfortable.  I would like to somehow do the same with foot pedal I use for transcription.  Can figure out how to mount it, but having trouble adjusting it so the 3 pedals are not an issue.  ANyone done this or have any input? 



 


Foot pedal control/knee control
Though I have not had experience with this type of modification, I have repaired numerous footpedals and have some information that may be helpful. Generally, the footpedal is comprised of the primary circuit board, the wiring to the computer, and the three switches for play, rewind, and fast forward. These switches are easily removed from the pedal with a screwdriver. With basic soldering, you can lengthen the wiring to each switch, or even replace them with different switches you can get at a local electronics store. With a little bit of creative engineering, you could mount some knee -controllable switches that could control the footpedal.
You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
Sorry, I meant didn't have to do it at home full time

I didn't originally plan on it. At the time I learned about - sm
MT, my sister had just started doing MT for a local hospital, and was learning on the job. I was a temp. office worker at the time, couldn't really find anything that was a good fit. My sis thought I'd be good at MT, and I came to visit her at work one day and she let me listen to and try to transcribe some tapes that she was already finished with. I liked it, so went to night school to learn medical terminology. I was offered a job at a transcription company (using mag-card typewriters back then, which were the 'latest thing') and have been doing MT ever since.
Well, then why don't you take your "holier-than-thou"
attitude back to your desk and get to work, yourself.
Why is it holier than thou to tell you
instead of complaining on this board.  Do some work/make some money.  Hone your skills/make yourself more valuable.  I make a lot of money because of the time and effort I have put into it.  I used to make $6 an hour doing MT.  Now I make $35 or more.  If I had sat around complaining about making $6 an hour, instead of working my a$$ off to become an excellent MT, with hospital experience, and now my own accounts, I still wouldn't be making anything.  Life is what you make it.  Take what you have/start where you are, and work your way up.  Do that instead of complaining and you'll get somewhere.
not holier than thou
my belief system does not allow me to do ITOPs and has me really boxed in trying to find employment.  been offered 2 really good jobs lately and now realizing that working for MTSO versus my old inhouse job might not work.  Any ideas?
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm
NM
What a holier-than-thou answer. nm
?
All I know is it caused the company I work for to be unable to do all work due today and the rest

I CANNOT believe these Holier Than Thou wonderful moms - sm
This is absolutely ridiculous... There are crappy daycares out there, but you can certainly tell by your child's actions if it is good or bad - if they go kicking and screaming then you know they aren't having FUN.  Lady, You are doing JUST FINE....  if they love daycare and you are getting your work done, then SO WHAT... these other "wonderful moms" are SO one-sided opinionated that I would hate to see the attitude and social skills they are teaching THEIR little ones!!  YOU do the best you can for YOU and your babies...  Is this really troubling to these "wonderful moms" when they begin pre-K or Kindergarten for heaven's sake... LORD KNOWS the teachers at school don't love these children like YOU do... puhleeeze!!  If it is a fun learning experience where they are making friends... they would RATHER be playing with friends than watching your back and listening to the rattling of the keyboard...  Sure there are companies that allow flexibility, but you have to set it to suit everyone in the mix...  To you "wonderful moms" who think that YOUR way of "NO DAYCARE" is the ONLY right way - poopoo to you.... Mommies have to do what Mommies have to do... all children are different...  my daughter I was able to keep at home... my son needed interaction with people and constant stimulation that I could not be flexible with - so he had a sitter for a few hours, then pre-K ....  he has turned out to be the brightest child you would ever meet with a vocabulary that would stun you!!  Each child is different, each family is different, each mommy is different... YOU are NOT a terrible mother for choosing this route, and I am sure your babies will grow up to be well-rounded, SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE young ladies and gentlemen...  Shame, SHAME for judging!!! 
U to be right but me thinks thou doth protest

I use Control N to end a job - Control T is for when viewing an old report
Don't know what you are talking about
Same thing with nationals. You work all the time to keep the account caught up when others dont work
and then when they decide to put a whole lot of extra people on your accounts and run you out they could care less about how much you worked.
i used to work for a company that divided the work types up and i loved it. sm
there were only 4 of us working a major teaching hospital. someone was assigned surgery, different assigned discharges, different admits, etc. we all had the backup work type in case the original assignee wasn't available and were cross trained. it made us much more efficient, ability to get used to dictators, set macros, and in the long run we were all much happier.
The company I work for said cable phone wouldn't work, just FYI.

yep, control, control, control... that's the main

I work for Warminster at MQ and I am sick to death of being jerked around with no work all the time.
I would like a job where I can depend on the work and it does not seem to be in this office of MQ.
With that holier than thou attitude who would want you as a boss ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

And having a holier than thou attitude is SOOOOOO attractive!

No, not me. I tried it at first, but it didn't work out.
I was in a corner of the living room for a long time.  Now I have my own office.
Didn't work for them ... but ....
They were the main caregivers for my dad in his last days. They were wonderful, not only for him, but also for us. They helped him let go, and he died so peacefully. Watching how sweetly they treated him, and explained things to us and answered ANY question we had was above and beyond. We can NEVER thank those folks for all they did.

Good for you, you'll be helping someone who will need you more than you know.
Thanks - tried that one too - didn't work.
 
That didn't work, either.
I was hoping that would work, but it didn't for me.
