Eric
Hello. Does anyone have suggestions as to a good playback program I can use with a USB foot pedal? This kind of software was not required with my last job, but I just took a new job and now need it. Is there a way I can use my pedal with something like RealPlayer for free? I'm hoping not to have to spend a lot of money. Thanks!
Now see, my pick would be Eric Foreman!

Eric has short guy syndrome.
First day blues

I started training my first day yesterday, no phone conversations, just numerous emails and templates/samples that were kind of confusing and had extensive header information that needed to be completed.  Well, I went in under the wrong number on the system, not routed work and there were some formatting problems as well but it was my first day. 


Well, I was happy when I finished, thought my work was good and all was well in the world only to wake up this morning to a really rough email.  I know I made some formatting mistakes but geesh, it was my first day and this is training.  I emailed and said how sorry I was for the misunderstanding on my part, explained how it would not happen again (and believe me it won't, I'm not the type to make repetitive errors), well that was this morning and I've heard nothing from the company since then, I've left three emails and a phone message (nobody picked up the phone on their end) and now I don't know what to think.  I would hate to think I got canned on the first day for formatting!  Content was fine.


I thought training was to work out the kinks...expecting all wouldn't be perfect, there is a learning curve.  I'm so disheartened.  Sorry for venting but maybe you all feel my pain.


First day blues
Oh honey, been there, done that!!! No feedback but lots of criticism...I'll bet when you were hired the company told you something like "we have wonderful QA process with lots of positive feedback, always available, etc. etc. etc..." Hope it gets better soon, otherwise, find new job. Too many companies out there to put up with crappy ones. Best of luck to you.
I am going thru the blues...sm

anyone else has just been so depressed lately?  Every springtime I get that way.   










I hope he doesn't get voted back in either because worse than Eric
is CRAZY Ivette. I LOVE Howie and want him to win. Nobody else but Howie has entertained me on this show. So cute and funny when he pretended he was going to kiss Beau. W/O Howie, I can't watch it even if Kaysar comes back. Don't like that entire Cappy groupie scene. Do you think CBS will bring back a firefighter hero instead of an Iraq guy for ratings though? I know we are supposed to decide but I doubt that is true in the end.
well being more anti-eric or cappy, i would prefer kaysar to come back but not to win.
I really would like Howie to win as he is the most entertaining. So cute and so funny.
we will be singing the blues
They wont be crying the blues.they already have hired more than enough transcriptionists and from what I surmise, as my doctors now spell EVERYTHING, they hired newbies or not to swift MT's.  What we need is a union, however, in the past the minute union is talked about, many MT's backtrack and say..they dont mind the decrease in pay, they like working out of their homes and dont want to change anything..yada, yada, yada..
New system blues
We recently had a computer upgrade at the hospital where I work and we are having multiple issues.  We are using Word 2003 in conjunction with Dictaphone Enterprise Express.  First, does anyone know how to load the medical dictionary into the spell checker so that it pulls words from that dictionary?  The spell check is stopping on almost every medical word and driving us all crazy!  Secondly, the command CTRL+shift+spacebar is not keeping words together like it used to on our old system.  Anybody have any clues as to why?  Also, if you create a macro it will work fine until you sign off of word client, and when you sign back on, its gone.  Any help would be appreciated...it has been a long 2 weeks!  TIA.
Roadhouse Blues by the Doors!!

If everyone quits, the will be the ones crying the blues. NM

Post-pay period blues...
I simply cannot get motivated today! I always feel sluggish and lazy just after a pay period, especially on the first day of a new one. I worked so darn hard yesterday to have a decent paycheck that I'm, well, too pooped to punctuate! Anyone else have this malady?
I'll be honest.. my 1-year-old watches Blues Clues...sm
She is really good. My husband and I both work nights. She is 'on her own' for about 2 hours... watches 'Bluestock' - an 1.5 hour Blues Clues episode... plays a bit.. I take a break to get her ready for bed and get her in bed... and back to work. It's hard work but who can afford daycare on a transcription salary? I'd be working just to keep her in daycare!

Besides, I don't trust daycare providers and I'd rather her watch TV where I can see her than send her off and not know what is going on.
Dude! YW :)
 
Dude.....(sm)

a lot of us MTs have major malfunctions (LOVE your terminology, BTW), with a LOT of things.  Don't take offense.  I would be willing to bet no offense was meant by the poster.  Some of us like initials after our names....some of us think it is worthless....to each his own.


Peace, man.


whatever dude

HC, you can believe or not believe whatever you want to.  I fail to see what the point would be of lying about something like that.  It certainly is not laughing matter to those affected, to be sure.


And hey, it may be that YOU are so valued as an MT, heck, probably even the BEST MT EVER, that they surely would NEVER cut YOUR pay without advanced notice, so if I were you, I wouldn't give it a second thought.


Really.


Dude or chick?

Yo-Man, Dude, What's happening?
I agree, Simon is more realistic. Chris did do great last night even though I am not into rock. It was tolerable though! He at least got into it and...was good. Paula LOVES those rockers. She loved Bo Bice also. I think a few girls are the best. Can't wait til tonight and then next Tuesday. It is my favorite show.
Dude (as Hurley would say)....
nm
dude, I'm agreeing with you

I found nothing wrong with your original post.  I almost posted a response myself saying that you need to talk to your QA people because every company uses their own method of putting blanks in, but someone else had already said it.


I just think Ella was responding to the wrong message, but I'm certainly not here to defend another poster.


Speaking of dude or chick, does anyone ever
play that car game where you have to guess what gender someone is because you just can't tell?  That's what we play on road trips instead of the license plate game.  Quick, dude or chick?
Dude, what's your major malfunction? sm

Since I've been working for the last 1-1/2 years with a company and more recently with my own accounts, I daresay that I am doing just fine with or without the RMT.  I wanted to take the RMT for my own fun.  I am sure there are others that either want to take the test or that are waiting to hear their results after waiting several months.


 


Major bummer dude!

This is my 2nd Saitek...the first one had silver keys and oh ya, I got the paint on them babies worn off within 6 months.  I'm totally bummed to hear this one will do the same thing, because I really looked at it hard before buying and saw the letters were "etched" in and not painted on.  It's no biggie for me, being a touch typist, but when family or friends want to plink around, they got totally lost...plus it looked fargin' ugly too. 


I use the angry red lights when typing that ESL crap (red alert!), and the happy purple the rest of the time.  The old one was just blue, so I'm kinda sick of that for right now, but it is so much fun to mess with the mood lighting.  Simple pleasures for simple minds      


the dude has no integrity; i wouldn't watch his dog
far less his movie. I'll get my bits and pieces of accuracy somewhere else!
dude, i'm not being literal. toby keith looks like he is CAPABLE
of taking care of me.  Jude Law on the other hand looks like he would be hard pressed to take care of himself.  It is the presentation not if the guy really would step off the screen to take care of me.  For example, it doesn't look as if Toby Keith has product in his hair or wears designer clothes.  He is tall and has a great deep commanding voice.  It's not about literal.  It's all about PHYSICAL APPEARANCE and how a man carries himself. 
Who is Drew Lachey? TV, singer, sports dude?

Sweety, this is abuse. Get thee to a counselor, the dude is sucking you dry.
The twit I just divorced got to the point that if HIS annoying me didn't work, he'd pick a fight, put the kid in the middle and then laugh as I tried to save the kid from that kind of abuse.

Ditch the B---d. And get into counseling.
dude, your educational level means nothing when you post irrelevant drivel and you don't follow
a logical train of thought. "ROCK ON"???? OMG!

BTW, YOU CALLED THE NAMES DEAR POSTER. READ YOUR OWN POST AND THEN READ MINE. See that's what I'm talking about. The masses aren't all that bright and knowing that does not "empower" me. And with you bragging about a "degree" and "education" is even more depressing. imagine an educated person bragging about it after screwing up on two posts and not understanding the concept of the original post STILL! Scary stuff.
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to

we received our "incentive packet."  They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally.   These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.


*70 will disable call waiting unless you are expecting a call and want it on (nm)

On-call requires on-call compensation by law
This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job.  Call me!
Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
.
If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
Call the doc and get an Rx....sm
My 3 kids had hand, foot, and mouth disease and the lesions in their mouths was just awful!! When they got chicken pox about a year after that one of my kids had them in her mouth and the doctor prescribed the same mouth rinse. They swished it around and spit it out and they stayed numb for hours! They finally got rest that way and so did I!! Go luck to you and hope all is well soon.!
you may need to call the doc (sm)
cause when I had the chicken pox, the same think happened to me and they did spread to my throat and became infected.  I had to take antibiotics...I remember so well cause I was 13 YO when I had them.  Also, it is Maalox and Benadryl, and viscus lidocaine, but I think that is Rx only.  I'd call the doc if it were my child.   give them a hug for me, I know how they feel!
I would call
your local humane society first and speak to them about the matter.  First, do a little investigation while your neighbors are gone.....does the dog have fresh water and food during the day?  Does he have shelter at all times from the sun or from storms?  It is totally a bad thing for any animal to be kept on a chain.  Look real hard and try to find out anything they are doing wrong with that poor pup.  Actually just calling the humane society or animal control about his constant barking should bring them out to talk with the owners.  Let us know how it goes for you.  I know it has been unpleasant for you but, as you apparently realize, it is even worse for that dog.  This is your chance to help him. 
call first

I would contact Hotels.com first to see why they only reimbursed partial.  That is ridiculous.  I would be upset.  How long ago did they bill your credit card?  I'd call your credit card company and dispute the charge.  Most credit card companies will fight it for you.


Good Luck!!


You call that a different POV?

the point is how this person has attacked the OP.  They were rude and it was uncalled for.  so the next time you have a concern and bring it here, we can rip you apart instead of give support and you can chalk it up to it being a different POV.


I get so SICK of some people trying to make excuses for bad behavior. 


We call them
PIG NUTS up here!  LOL  They are good, though.
call in 1-800
MedT:

idigital through transcriptiongear.com is very very reliable. You pay for what you use. I have been with them for over four years now and you dont worry about anything.. Check out the website and give them a call.
On Call Pay..
I know someone who works as a computer tech. When she is on call for a weekend, she gets paid $3 an hour for every hour she is given "on call" duty, so basically from 5 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Monday, she is paid $3 an hour, whether she has a "trouble" call or not. When she does get a call it is usually 15-30 minutes to deal with it, and it rarely happens. I think she has a great deal. She is not a transcriptionist, but is employed by a hospital.
On Call Pay
Thanks Pam. That gives me an idea of price range.
I can see why you call yourself that!
Spheris is hiring over 1500 US MTs THIS YEAR ALONE, you idiot. It's laughingly obvious that you're a disgruntled worker or EX. LMAO I hear McDonalds is hiring. LOL

Everything in your post is bogus. Just an angry dissidence. LMAO
I will call them
I will call them once I get DSL in my area. It isn't available here yet.
Why are we getting a call
to ask if we got the packet yet when we are not supposed to get it until October? This seems really weird to me.
The call...

was very friendly. Medquist will now offer:


1.  15 cpl/line for each and every MT regardless of ASL or regular transcription.


2.  If work runs out each MT will be guaranteed compensation at their average hourly salary until work does come in.


3.  All offices will be run exactly the same way.


4.  If U believe all this, I do have a rather nice bridge in Brooklyn to sell...


No call yet either
I am still waiting for my call regarding the Rewards Plan. Letter is dated 9/2 and today is 9/14; that is almost a couple of weeks. The packet will come sometime in October so we will probably get a call a few days before it comes so we won't have enough time to look it over.
What should we call him?

Call whoever you want to
Listen up Bozo - I don't have any cousin named Sipper!

Go call whoever you feel like calling! For you comment about me being off the meds, why YES I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
