I think Joe Friday had one on Dragnet (Friday night viewing from the 50's.)
Yep, this Friday I am getting my
check from them. I am a happy girl.
Happy Friday!!
I have an endo account, which has a lot of lab terms!  It probably would be easier, but my doc has a thick accent (spanish)  Its definitely not the easiest, just my opinion!  Best of luck, if you go with endocrinology.
Buy Nothing Day (Black Friday)
movement started in the Pacific Northwest, so I celebrate Buy Nothing Day by buying nothing.

I'm on my way to Vegas Friday! Thanks for your help and..sm
have loads of fun on your trips!  Nothing better than working from home and being able to travel, so lucky we are!
This is my Friday SCREAM!!!! sm
I have had a terrible week that just keeps on "getting better" over here.

I don't to talk about it, it would take hours. I just wanted to scream. Mercury must be in retrograde, the moon might be full, SOMETHING is out of alignment.

If you want to scream too, DO IT. It won't help much, but it gets it out.
Where I work if it is done on Friday, before 5 pm - sm
then it is due back Saturday within 24-hours of it being dictated, i.e. 3pm Friday is due back by 3pm Saturday. If it is dictated after 5 then it is due back by Monday 8am. In theory Sunday work is not due back until Tuesday 8am but when it does happen (which is rare) I try to get it in on Monday or my whole schedule gets messed up.
That's it! Thank you so much Kim! Happy Friday! NM

I do this on both Thursday and Friday . . .

Do you do this every night or just on Fridays? If it's just on Fridays, probably not (nor would I probably even be aware of it).


Thursdays as well, since the work that comes in after 5 isn't due until Monday morning.

Hospitals have a rhythm. Does your way of ensuring turnaround mean that almost every job you have is over 10 minutes, leaving all the 1 and 2 minute 'nuisance' reports in the queue? Do all the ops remain in the queue (I'm a fan of the work type, but not everybody is)? I'm reaching annoyance stage.


I get both long and shorter jobs.

Again with the rhythms- Are there particularly egregious dictators that you get to essentially ignore because they're morning birds while Dr. Chatty Easylines and Dr. Joe Makinbigbucks routinely dictate 1500 lines, which for them entails a total of 4 hours of typing combined) at about 7:00 each evening. Yeh, now I'm PO'd.


All the dictators on this particular account have their jobs come in at various times.  I get the good, the bad and the ugly . . . just like everybody else.

Are you then one of those people that wil come on here and gloat about how on average you type 400-500 lines/hour and make roughly $25/hour, can't understand why all transcriptionists can't do it, and suggest we tinker and modify our expansion program so we can be as good as you? Be thankful the internet is anonymous because otherwise I'd know if you worked for my company and I would be kicking up a fuss like you wouldn't believe.


I make good money, but I don't come on here and "gloat."  I've been with my company for many years.  They are happy with the work I do.  Also, I work every weekend day to do those jobs I take.  The other MTs at my company do not want to work weekends.  I also work nights AND during the day.  I have a flexible schedule, but I work a lot because I want to make a lot. 


Gal Friday was a term used in the 1950s
to describe a female office assistant who can perform a lot of tasks. It's a takeoff on Friday from Robinson Crusoe, and it's also a popular name for secretarial service businesses.
MQ direct deposit on Friday, is NOT
correct! Is paid on the 10th and 25th, if those dys fall on a Sat/Sun, then your check does not go in until the following Monday...how it is & how it's always been.

As other's advised, check the 2005 payroll schedule, maybe print it out for your referrences?
Saw doc on Friday for an unrelated issue SM

and told him about my symptoms (that I think I have tennis elbow...left lateral epicondylitis...lol...I'm sure he thinks I'm a big 'ole hypochondriac using the correct terminology), and he said if it gets too bothersome to come in and he will give me a cortisone shot (so, no need for a referral, etc...just one $15 copay).  That's good to know that he can do it in his office.


Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions.  I actually have one of those aircast braces.  I liked the idea of the keyboard/forearm rest.  It's a bit spendy though, so I'll have to see if we can afford it after Christmas.  Castor oil, huh?  Well it's worth a try.  Hahaha...it reminds me of when I used to do daycare.  One of the parents told me if their baby got the hiccups, I was to tear off a piece of brown paper bag, hold it against her forehead, and feed her a bottle.  I thought they were absolutely nuts.  Well, she got the hiccups...although I felt totally silly, I tried what they suggested...and it WORKED!  I couldn't believe it!  I tried it on my next two babies and it worked on them too!  So now I know better than to laugh at "weird" suggestions. :)

Get paid for Thursday and Friday!!
I work hourly plus incentive for a medical specialty clinic and I get paid for both Thursday and Friday. I also get paid for half days on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve as well as both holidays. It being a clinic I also don't have to work weekends unless I choose to in order to make up for time off during the week. My hourly pay is pretty sucky but the benefits are great.  
Who had fun shopping on "Black Friday"? - I did - sm
but I go without a "toy" agenda (did my toy shopping Monday and Tuesday so I had everything I wanted already), just go to get my kids and husband clothes mainly at great prices and to have fun with the kids--continuing the "tradition" that I had with my mom.  Got myself a 1 GB Verbatin "Store 'n Go" since my zip disks are dying, $40 (reg. price $90), another great deal!  I bought my DH 4 good dress shirts normally $136, for $62, can't beat that.  Kohl's was packed so unfortunately did not get anything there like I would have liked to, the line was halfway to the back of the store but Sears and Penney's were fine, stood in line for 10 minutes tops, can live with that.   Well off to do some work now......luckily not too tired to bang out 40 minutes or so.  Have a good weekend!  
Friday is my last day... turned in notice..

This Friday is my last day of a 2-week notice and, as of yet, the administrator has not said a word to me about leaving. I've worked inhouse for these people for 20 years. No questions as to why, nothing.  The assistant only said she was glad for me and wished me well. What do you make of spending 20 years of your life doing your best and, in the end, they could care less? Boy, do I feel stupid, but definitely made the right decision in leaving.


Could be farwell party on Friday. If not, I would think
After 20 years, a big party should be in the plans. If not, they are lacking in manners and it is time for you to go to a new place in your life.
Friday Night--What's For Dinner?
At this point, I am thinking... order out! I need some inspiration.
I'm getting Botox for my jaw Friday, 10 shots :( nm

On Medquist board - had it Friday -

Date with keyboard on Friday to have time for

My twin granddaughters, the dynamic duo, (17 months)  who will be spending the rest of the weekend with Gram and "Aunnie" (my 11-year-old).  Can't wait to play and spoil, spoil, spoil!


I probably will be in bed and sound asleep after they leave Sunday at 7:00.  :)

Monday night- Friday, and either Saturday or Sunday, or both -sm
I usually goof off Saturday (or do very minimal work Friday night and Saturday) and then regret it and have have about 130 minutes to do on Sunday, does not make for a fun day.
it was posted friday - day late, dollar short? NM

I started with 310 minutes of work on Friday night- sm
talk about being tied to the computer all weekend. Have 131 minutes for Monday's work, fun, so have a busy day ahead! I was basically off the last week in December so it is nice to make up for lost wages.
Maybe 1-2 x a month(with kids), and usually order out on Friday's - Pizza or Chinese -

I had a fabulous weekend starting with dinner on Friday night..sm
My birthday was Saturday so I didnt lift a finger the whole weekend. My husband and three daughters took care of me all weekend! I didnt have to cook, clean or chase after any kids. Also, hubby got me the new stove, frige, and dishwasher that I have been wishing for forevery now! Havent had new appliances in years and years and years!! Couldnt have asked for a better weekend!
I work Friday-Tuesday including 8 hours each Sat and Sunday.
I like it a lot, but don't think I could do three 12-hour days in a row, no matter which days they are. Someone must have done it successfully or they wouldn't be offering it, though, so go for it and Good Luck!

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.
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.
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 couldn't stand it with a

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
