my child has never complained about the bread being hard. Maybe because we use 100% whole wheat and it is already kind of dry? I have just never heard that complaint from anyone
I make lunch right after clearing up dinner and that way if we all oversleep by accident, at least its one less thing to have to worry about. We have enough stress in the morning.

If I boil mine ahead of time, I go ahead and peel off the shell after they have (sm)
been sitting in a pan of cold water for about 30 minutes.
I had one who decided lunch time ....sm
would be a good time to dictate. Opening wrappers, eating, drinking, etc. I was so repulsed by the eating sounds, I was ready to give them up. I called my contact person about 3 x and asked her to ask him to stop. Finally, I called the manager. When she approached him about it, HE DENIED IT!!! Said he didn't eat while dictating. Of course, she believed him and was dumbfounded at what I could be hearing! I told her I knew what I was hearing and it had to stop. Anyone who has ever heard that sound while transcribing KNOWS they are eating. What a jerk. Interestingly, the eating stopped, and I still have the account.
I worked in a hospital and I could make differrent arrgmts for lunch if I needed to.
Don't let the OP scare you off from investigating.
Do what is right for you.
Most in-house hospital jobs allow only 30 minutes for lunch! So I wouldn't call an hour lunch
"rigid." If you are an employee, there are rules, set schedules, etc. that you have to expect.

So how would you know ahead of time if
problem with drinking? Don't mean to get off the subject but just wondering.
that should say *ahead of time*

Okay, I apologize ahead of time for this

why subject little angels to the willey years ahead of time
The hairy thing might scare her. At that age, they are fugly.
Tell papa not to take ANY chances that could screw up her delicate psyche. If he continues, make an appt with a therapist and get an expert's advice.
RAST test classification roman numerals or numbers? Thanks ahead of time.

You spending 3K in gasoline to make 4K plus all that time on the road?That doesn't make sense Pat
Sorry, I will make sure I get it right next time, Zipper.

I don't know if you'd make the trip in time. When my
mother was dying she died within 24 hours of her kidneys shutting down - by this I mean she quit producing urine. She had cancer that has spready rapidly throughout her body so there may have been contributing factors involved.
So how much do you make for the time you spend
*Enquiring minds*, and all....
I make about 35 K part-time to
I have one of my own accounts and sub for a local contractor at a high rate. I also work for one online company that is flexible but the work is low. I'd feel better not giving the name because I feel that is personal.
to OP: you might want to try asking about specific companies or asking about companies that offer what you are looking for.
You may be getting flack because salary is a personal thing with tons of variables. Even though the posters seem like they are coming off hard the truth of the matter is that everyone is different and everyone has a different work situation.
Sure, I have bills to pay and I am expected to bring in an income, but my husband is the breadwinner and he also has the health insurance. I still feel pressure to do as much as possible but my main goal is to make sure the kids are taken care of and their appointments, etc. If I was at home all day with no worries regarding two school-aged kids, I'm sure I'd easily make 60 K or more and need subs if I were to market myself as an MTSO. But I prefer to stay an IC and not use subs.
I don't know if this helps at all, but it is my answer. 
Don't it stink? LOL. MT blooper in there - the same one I make EVERY TIME. nm

I guess it is time to make a stand...
I just received my first subscription via E-mail to Advance Health Magazine.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY ACTUALLY HAD TWO ADVERTISEMENTS IN IT FOR HIRING INDIA MTs?
These are about 1/4 of a page size. One is from CBAY, which is Spheris, which is their 100% India company. Bragging a 30% decrease in costs to hospitals.
This not only threatens American MTs with losing jobs outright, but it also UNDERCUTS us. This is why we are making less money, less benefits, and needing to work harder.
I sent an E and cancelled immediately. Actually, I had been considering it for a while because of a bit percentage of their Medical Transcription articles are pro- undercutting American MTs, anyway, just like AAMT.
In my opinion, WE ARE BEING SOLD-OUT, AND BEING SOLD-OUT BY AAMT as they push harder and harder to make money any way they can, even by supporting Indian MTs, who are probably being told they "have" to join their organization...
They have been trying to force American MTs to become certified to fill their pockets and position themselves for the future as a monopoly. However, it seems American MTs are not as easily led as in India, so they flip-flopped. If you can't beat them, join them, right?
I am so disgusted. Last month they had an article from someone encouraging companies to hire American MTs and I was so hopeful, but this made me sick, to get it in my E-mail.
Time for me to make a stand. My job is worth fighting for and I need it...
Anybody make less than $12,000/year, part time - sm
I know at just part time (minimum 25 hrs a week) I won't be pulling in a ton of $, but I thought it would be a little more than that. Am I alone?
I make $2-3/hr (we are ICs paid for talk time only)
We are ranked. If you aren't in the top ran you do not get as many calls.
I wrote out a longer message but for some reason it didn't post.
Maybe it's time to push for legislation to make
.
If I worked full time I would make
at least $40,000 per year at my job. I only work part because just tired of working all the hours I have in the past. The majority of my work is VR (about 95%) and straight but am fast. I don't have a lot put in Expanders but do well over 3000 lines per day total.
If I worked full time I would make
almost $35,000 a year, made more than that in the 80s, just do not want to work full anymore.
Many sites make additions to better their site all the time without
doing anything out of the ordinary. MTStars always strives to provide better service.

I would quit. I work part time and only make about
$250 a week. Just having become a grandma would influence my decision! I can't keep my hands off the little one! 1K a week would suite me just fine! To bad I don't play the lottery.
Ask him next time to start a new file and not make it so large.
MTs out to lunch
Congratulations! I am sure you worked very hard and deserved it.
No--she is lunch!!!!
lunch
FOr me i just took a lunch without never punching in or out.
Happens all the time. Make phone calls for more definite action. nm

Take the time to make a list for a day of all the common editing tasks you do.
That should give you a good start for productive macros, then start making macros for those odd circumstances. BTW, Instant Text is great for handling these types of tasks. You can run your macros with a short form that makes sense to you or you can create "command" entries that make corrections--meaning that you can lump a whole bunch of keyboard shortcut commands into one entry. This is a great feature if you're queasy about creating macros.
breaks and lunch
I think the way it goes is that you must be allowed to take breaks and lunch. I was an employee for a company that did not care when you worked, as long as you met turnaround time.
Could you have lunch delivered for
the staff one day? I'm not suggesting anything too pricey, but something they all enjoy. A donation in their name to an animal rescue in your area might be appreciated as well. Congratulations on your puppies!
So, instead of dinner, whats for LUNCH?
YUM 
I don't know, but my appetite for lunch just left me.

You 2 should find each other and do lunch sometime! I'm too far away to join ya...nm
s
If you are FT employee, must take two 15 min breaks and 30 min lunch
But, I am sure, many MTs do not do this and say they do.
Whats for lunch/dinner??
I am just curious what everyone is having for lunch or dinner. Need some ideas on what to cook.
Have a good Sunday afternoon.
take my lunch break and take a dip in the pool
Lunch- -most important meal of the day!
I work 35 hours a week. I have a scheduled 8-hour shift and take a 1-hour lunch break, leaving me with 7 hours of production a day. My advice is to do the 35-hour schedule. You'll probably be more productive (lph) at 35 hours than 40, and you'll always be able to add extra hours later if you want to. Don't skip lunch or eat at your desk. You'll feel so much better if you take a real lunch break everyday.
I *only* make $40K a year for full time work. Now I find that isn't decent is or fair?
nm
Rule of thumb - THERE'S NO FREE LUNCH
If you don't want to do much, don't expect to make much. That's just the way it is.
Eating their lunch/dinner while dictating
I have a doctor from Croatia who is hard enough to understand with his "ah" and 'um" but when he's crunching carrots in the middle of it? Forget it. 
Someone paddles my kids, they will find my fist for lunch!!!

I'm having a homemade roast beef sub and chips for lunch.
DH can probably BBQ hot dogs and burgers for dinner because I don't feel like cooking.
My employer took all MTs out to lunch today in recognition of National MT Week and we got a new
Drake & Drake Pharmaceutical Word Book! First time I have worked anywhere that actually recognized MTs for this week.
Don't do anything, just tell him to go ahead and do what he
has to do. If he's not for real, the threat has been not worked. If he is for real, he MUST have documentation to prove his case, or even then it's no use taking it to court. He will file in small claims probably, if less than $5000. He must prove his case, and you don't have to do anything, bottom line.
Don't get too ahead of yourself..
You may certainly have a valid argument, but don't base it on the "fact" that rad reports are all paid by report. I have been doing rad for over 12 years now, and have yet to be paid by report. Most are by the line, and any MTSO I have worked for, rad is one of the lowest line rates compared to other work type accounts. Yes, there are companies that pay by the report, but, I surely wouldn't go so far as saying that is the "norm".
Then go ahead. Not me.

Go ahead
post it! You will feel so much better and be able to continue knowing you got your two cents in. Sometimes it makes you wonder about American standards for the practice of medicine, does it not? Doesn't it make sense that in America doctors should be able to communicate properly and have a handle on the language? Accents are not what I am talking about either. I am talking about vocabulary and grammar that can possibly cause a change outcome. This is a very serious business, medicine. Those who dictate should be qualified to dictate. Amen.
Forget dinner! Just prepared a huge lunch. Skillet chicken: Skinless boneness breasts cooked in skil
golden brown, add can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup of frozen mixed veggies, 1/2 c water - cover and cook about 15 minutes.
Then I made homemade mashed potatoes - extra thick - with plenty of pepper :0
Then, boiled my water for my sweet tea....with lemon.
After the chicken is done, pour a cup and a half or so of mozerella cheese on top and let it sit for about a minute or so.
The mixture from the potatoes is a creamy blend with mixed veggies poured over either rice or potatoes. I just make stuff up all the time like this. You could even add crackers to the mixture to give it a crunchy feel. My 2 boys were in heaven today. Of course, I may have to work the night shift when my lunch is finished - when I eat like this during the afternoon I usually skip dinner altogether because of the carb content.
Remember with this dish: You can do it low fat by substituting above ingredients. Also remember to have plenty of color to your diet! Voila!
Ah, go ahead...don't be ashamed...
No one will laugh. And, most likely no one will slam you for it either. There are only a few really nasty, jealous people here.
