Flashing Icons

What are the flashing icons beside the job postings on the Job Seeker's Board?  Are they intended to indicate that the jobs have been filled or still open?  Thank you.


I have lost my icons... Help!

I have missplaced all of my icons on desktop. I would like to have those and use instead of having to use start and pick them up from there. Can anyone tell me, step by step, how to retrieve those. Thanks a lot!


ICONS DISAPPEARED
I'm sorry, I see that there are postings already for this.  As you can see, it's driving me crazy.  Thanks
Desktop Icons
go to your desktop and right click, hit new, hit shortcut, and then browse for your page.
how to move desktop icons so .
 they won't return to original positions.  I know there is something to uncheck, somewhere, can't find it.  Probably am asking at wrong board.  Thank you for any help. 
Setting up icons on desktop
…I have a page that I want to appear as an incon. How to do? Thanks.
Or is it that brew your 2 icons are clicking??
Just kidding. I thought at first you were trying to say a beer wouldn't hurt. Yep, popcorn can liven up the looooooong evenings once in awhile, I know where you're coming from.
icons/tool tray on side of screen
Can't move them back to the bottom where they were, inadvertently moved them when resizing screens.  How do I get them back on the bottom?  TIA
Why do some posts have yellow icons by the left side?
 
Every program I bring up is Adobe. All my desktop icons were my IT icon.
But to bring one up, it was the Adobe Flashplayer. I have needed a PT job for two months and cannot apply as Vista is not compatible. Also, ExpressScribe is incompatible with Vista so I could not take the tests. OMG, I paid 1600.00 for this (my first laptop Dell 1330 XPS) on 2/19 and have already had to have a system recovery. Now, nothing will upload and I am told my hard drive has the Conficker virus embedded in it; I am waiting for a new hard drive as I type this.

This totally sucks. Vista has rendered my computer useless. Dell does not sell XP anymore and even if I could get XP, it would not work in this particular computer. Dell is being very unreasonable, stating that even though it has been just over 30 days, I am stuck with this Vista and just "deal with it."

I wanted this to be the last computer I ever bought. Now, it appears not to be true.
Well of course we know that now. Back then we didn't because he didn't allow unfettered access.

right we children didn't tattle to the administrator did we. BTW, didn't you think we were &#
because some half-witted idiot said everyone was jealous because some other anonymous poster said they were going to be a doctor. Didn't they call it doctor envy. Oh yeah, that was all about you wasn't it busy-body MT. You with your degree and premed but yet you still post here and acuse others of jealously. I dunno but you and dano seem so close, I can't put my finger on it but I would say you could be computer clones. Jealous indeed. Children indeed. I think you are blowing your covers) dano and busy body MT. This whole "jealously" thing makes me think that you may be one and the same poster.
I didn't go into labor until 2.5 weeks later, so it didn't work. Sorry!...nm

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

Didn't you tell me?!?!? No, Liza, you didn't tell me. Hooray for you! lol

Didn't know you could do that...
I didn't know you could pick and choose, thought you just went with what came onto your computer.

How come Transcend isnt allowed to post here?  Because of taking on new clients?  I dont understand what that means.  They don't offshore, right?
Wow. Didn't like that one bit.

I feel sorry for the employees.  I can't believe they were making that much inhouse!  I was only making $12.00 and had to answer phones, file, photocopy, greet patient's etc.  I left to do this and actually make a bit more (and saving tons on gasoline), but to be making $150.00 a day and have benefits?  That's gotta hurt.  My former employer "offered" benefits, but my health insurance was nearly $600 a month out of my pocket.  My husband insures us now for half that.  I can't imagine not having that.


I was offended by the part of the article that referred to at home transcriptionists making errors,etc.  I know for a fact that most big companies do not hire "newbies."  My poor niece was under the impression that all she had to do was take the MT course (don't remember the name, but it was a good one).  Even though she graduated early with high honors, she still can't find a job with a national. She found a few local accounts and is only making 5.5 cents per line.


I don't know about everyone else, but I've been doing this for 16 years and I found the "testing" for nationals frustrating!  I thought I failed miserably and was shocked when I was hired as my testing was 98% (2 of four dictators being fast talking ESLs and ER reports which I have never done and won't do again).


Ad in my paper today says:  "You too can work at home!  Become a Medical Transcriptionist!"  Seminar held at the holiday Inn and the ad gives the impression that anyone that can actually use a keyboard will be hired right off and make tons of money.


No way, tell me they didn't...sm
"they took out internet fees, insurance, etc."

Maybe I misunderstood the above. You don't mean your regular benefit deductions from a paycheck, do you? I can understand taking out taxes, but I'd raise holy heck about taking out benefit deductions. It certainly is not a regular payroll paycheck.

Along those same lines, I recently separated from a company that I worked for 2-1/2 months. When I first started, I had signed up for health insurance and the flexible spending account. You know, there's usually a 3-month waiting period before these benefits begin, and before they start taking out the deductions. Since I gave notice before the 3 months was up, I was shocked to see they began taking the deductions out on my last paycheck. I told the supervisor that I wanted that money back. They did make me wait for the next payroll, but I received that money back just today! It's worth a try!

2 cents, huh? As if you're not insulted already by the fact that they cheated you in the first place. The MTs should demand to know how they arrived at their amounts, and then be able to verify it.

I worked for them for 2 years and my line counts rarely matched theirs. Supervisors could not explain the discrepancy either. Two months after I quit, the news about the MT class-action lawsuit came out. Personally, I don't trust them.

Have a great time shopping on your unexpected money!!
I didn't have any out of the NE
yesterday either...the Warminster office.  Haven't checked yet today...almost afraid to!
No I didn't see
Scarborough Country last night.   This whole mess is so sad and government at all levels is a disgrace.  People quibbling over whether they are "refugees" or "evacuees."  How utterly ridiculous.  Not to mention the quibbling over those who deserve help and those who don't.  Those who have already been receiving social services from the government will continue to receive priority help from the government and those who are trying to help themselves will be forgotten just as they have always been. 
Didn't you know....
It's more important in PC America to have somebody who speaks every other language EXCEPT English, so that those who can't speak English will be able to conduct their business.  In So. California you can hardly get a job dealing with the public unless you can speak Spanish.  Same with the border towns in Texas.  Talk about discrimination.  However, your situation was probably the almighty buck... Cheaper to contract to the call answering centers in India than to hire someone here.  I once had to call a tow truck with my AAA card.  Guess what?  Somebody in India trying to dispatch a tow truck in the United States.  Couldn't understand me whatsoever.  Same with my computer support number... India.  The guy had me clicking on this and that to fix my little problem and before I knew it, he had me return my computer to factory settings (didn't tell me ahead of time and I knew the second I hit the button what I was doing, but it was too late) and I lost everything saved on my computer.  I was LIVID! 
It is 26% , not 30%. I didn't say 30%.
Get it right. Geez.
Sorry, no. But I didn't want to let

I'm sure you already know there's lots of information on line.  My guess is that you wanted to hear someone's personal experience with the same problem.  I'm a relative "oldie" myself.  


I also don't have to tell you that your orthopedist is your absolute best and clearest source of information.  The only suggestion I do have is that you develop a list of specific questions to ask him, and only him, during your upcoming appointment.  Good luck. 


I didn't know
they had any ads posted. I was just searching around, googled Transcription companies and found their name, went to web page, etc.
The Website sounds like a totally legit, US MT co. You would never know it was offshore unless you asked. Good thing you asked before you went any further. Wonder why they ran an ad for US MTs if they are offshore? Maybe trying to get a US side started? I will have to keep the reverse lookup in mind, but Im sure not all companies will be that sloppy. I wish there was another way to find out that stuff. Were they nasty to you when you told them you wouldn't type for them? Thanks for the info!!!!
Well, I'[m sure she didn't think of that one!

...and I suppose you are perfect...never made a mistake or had bad judgement?  This is NOT what she needs right now.  Don't you think she knows she did wrong?  Get over it.  She is asking some very serious questions and doesn't need any moral opinions, okay?


They said I didn't have...sm
enough experience, which I thought was strange because I have nearly 10 years.  They passed on hiring me without so much as a test or speaking to me, and now I am the QA director of another company.  Kind of funny.  Their loss, not mine!  Glad I stayed where I am at.
Sorry, should be DIDN'T see that one.
s
I didn't see it as an ask for help.
deal with it everyday and do my best and go on.
Oh, Wow! Didn't think....

it would be that easy. I was absolutely in the dark on this.


I will be using the other keyboard, though, because the letters are completely worn off this one.


 


Maybe the best, but I tried em and didn't like em.

i didn't say
I worked for a national. Matter of fact i work for a very small company.
didn't anyone tell you to take them at the same
time every day, not the morning 1 day and noon the next, etc?
I didn't have a mean QA, BUT!!!

I had one that made me feel more than inadequate!  Nitpicky corrections EVERYWHERE!!! Going as far as--if the whole report was dictated in present tense and 1 word was dictated past, and I changed it to present, I would hear about it--then again, if I didn't change it, I would hear about it, too!  It was a no win situation for me.


There were always dumb corrections being made to my reports, always non-medical.  I just felt like no matter what way I would do something...I would get corrected back to the other way.  I never, EVER got any corrections back that were necessary.  Never changed the meaning of any report! I was to the point where I was spending 8-9 hours on 30 minutes of dictation..and I am NOT KIDDING!! trying to make sure that all of the "little" words were perfect. I was so paranoid the whole time--only to get more corrections!


I have QA'd at 99% to 100% monthly (never dropping below) on a verbatim accounts for 2 other companies and just could never understand why I couldn't do ANYTHING right for the other company.


Needless to say, I am a lot happier now with a much higher line count for sure!! Lol, making as much, if not more, elsewhere in 5 hours a day as I was for the other place 8-9-10 hours a day.


Sorry. I didn't mean to come across as
nasty. There are a lot of companies that pay by report and are good companies. MDI-FL, Keystrokes, MTS, T-South and MVTS all pay by report and I'm sure there are more. Again I apologize for sounding rude.
yea but he didn't look like the old KR....sm

Kenny has been quite open about all the plastic surgery he has had, he and Dolly Parton (good friends) have always been open about their multiple procedures, which I appreciate.  Kenny is 67 and just had twin boys not long ago, 5 wives, doesn't believe in prenup agreements, and hence, he admits he has lost tons of $$ via the prior 4 divorces.  He was just on TV on someone's special not 2 months ago.


However, I miss that weathered handsome face he always had...he doesn't look like the original KR. 



I didn't even know who he was. It is
hard to believe he looked anything like that guy.  He wasn't quite as flaming as the other guy though. 
I didn't even know who it was until they
said who he was.  I did think he looked more masculine, but it also looked like he had had plastic surgery or had a ton of makeup on.   He's a local boy but I haven't seen him/heard much about him lately. 
Didn't I tell you?
To me it's not slaving.  You see, I love, I mean LOVE, to cook.  As a matter of fact, I run a small catering business in my spare time.  Thanks for your concern, though!
now, why didn't I think of this? lol
I am not short, but a foot pedal on a foot rest would be comfy!  If you find one that works welll, I'd love to hear about it! Jill
Really? I didn't know that. sm
But I did feel she hadn't been herself and kind of miserable the last month or so. What do you think did it? The gastric bypass thing she so OBVIOUSLY lied about? Hmmm.
no, that didn't fix it, and
in Gear Player when I do a USB footpedal test, the rewind, fastforward, and play sections of the footpedal on the screen light up when I step on the pedals but when I transcribe, it doesn't rewind unless I step (stomp) on the pedal a number of times :(
Really? I didn't know that! :)

they were paying production -- probably an hourly position. Mop up the drool.

I didn't know that. Thanks

I didn't know there
were so many! Thanks for posting this info. it will help a lot of MTs.
The OP didn't ask if she should. SM
Some people have a more broad vision than just the dollar bills on the trees in front of them. They can actually see the forest!

You apparently have a grudge against the AHDI and use any opening to shove your personal opinion in.

Funny, really. That you would be so desperate to villify the exam. LOL

They probably wouldn't hire your dog, though, since you trained it. LOL

She didn't ask if she SHOULD, but she definitely

The amount of RAM would show anything different than the total RAM of the computer.  I know the hard disk space used will show up, but RAM is the the fluid (for lack of better term) memory.  From what I can see, it says the same amount no matter what I have going on; just the total amount the computer came with.
