I stand corrected
Thank you, nm, for your reply to my computer question.
I stand corrected!
Copied and pasted your search string. Had no idea you could get Word separately, especially the 2007 version.

Thank you posting that!

Maybe you would know this then:
Is there a reader you can download to Vista to view MS Word documents if you don't have MS Word installed?

I stand rightfully corrected. NM

Ok. I stand corrected...may be overly sensitive..sm
I work for two places, one full time as IC and one part time as IC. Full time is small service with approximately 14 MTs. I get paid by the gross line at .067 cpl, typed in courier new 12. I have worked there for three years. Part time IC job is .08 cpl at 55 characters, typed in TNR 12. I consider both of these to be low paying, after reading some of the others, but they pay the bills. I guess.
I stand corrected. Sorry, did not mean to say gross. Rather, 65 cpl with spaces, headers, footers.

Gross lines and 12 hour days!!! I stand corrected, you weren't stretching the truth, you were...

misleading everyone.  The majority of MTSOs pay by a 65 character lines.  Paying for spaces or not paying for spaces is usually the only variant between companies.  You come on here and say that you tyhpe 3000 a line a day and leave it at that.  Don't say how many hours your work, how long your lines are, etc.  That is misleading!


I probably am typing 3000 gross lines a day in my eight hour day if I were coutning gross lines.  For fun, I think on my next work day, I'm going to jot down my gross line count in each document and add it up at the end of the day and compare it to my actual line count.  I'll let everyone know what the difference is.


Geez!  Really burns me up when people get on here at start spouting out nonsense as if it were fact and we should all be in awe of their skills and expertise!  For future reference, the truth lies in the details.  You can't just say you do 3000 lines a day and leave it at that.  Notice when I posted below how many lines a day I do, I added that I work a strictly 8 hour day and that my lines are 65 characters with spaces.


Give accurate and detailed information people, PLEASE!


I think I worked there! LOL Except they used to fax the corrected
reports back to me, which I couldn't read because the faxed copies were illegible. I wasn't provided with any account guides or samples either. Their rules and style made no sense whatsoever and went against everything I ever learned in high school, college and my transcription career. I wound up leaving them very soon after starting. I don't know which is worse, no feedback at all or nitpicking.

It's up to you if you're going to stay and put up with it or not. Plenty of places are hiring right now.
oh yes, I always spellcheck anyway, even if I have already corrected something. nm

Simon has corrected himself in the past. sm
Actually, I have heard Simon say in past seasons that after watching the playback it was not as bad as his review, which is, of course, what he did with Katherine.

nm
Whoops! Thought I corrected "experiment" before I posted
And please forgive any other typos I may have missed. :)
oh wow, so that makes you smarter than me because you corrected an error on a message board???
Congrats...how have I not been supportive? I never called you anything nasty or said anything negative...I merely stated sometimes you have to suck it up...ESLs are never going to get any easier...you just have to adapt...and the pay will get better once you prove yourself...I think you just don't like the reality of the situation...sorry for being honest...
Qa sent me 2 corrected report. One had hypenated word changed and other had same word

You can tell him a few things.


1. When God passed out the humility, he sure passed you by.  (He sure is humble, isn't he?)


2. You should only talk to people about your religion if you are asked.


3. And God sent you here today to judge me.


4. Is that all your church does it collect money and tell you to judge people?

I can't stand it any more! :)

I have sat here in my little chair and quietly typed all day without a peep of protest.  The sun is shining, the birds are singing, I can hear the river tide, and....and....and......I have to get outta here!  Just for a few minutes, I'm going to go dip my toes, catch a couple rays of sunshine, and watch the kids play.  Actually, I think I'm going to play with them!


Come on, guys, let's go play! 


What does q.a.c. stand for?

Try a lap stand.
I have an adjustable plastic lap stand made by Targus that I use. It keeps the laptop from burning in thighs and allows the air to circulate underneath the laptop to keep it cool. I think I bought it at Office Max.
BOS - what does this stand for
been seeing it for months and i have no clue what u are referring to.
What does AIR stand for?
I saw this in a job ad.  They're looking for Cardiology, Radiology and AIR transcriptionists.  ???
I, for one, stand with you.

We need to stand up for ourselves
because we keep making less money. But how do we do that?
I stand my ground. sm
There are too many other jobs out there to stay you are stuck in this one. I do dare to say this because I know this.

Think about it. Would you stay in a "crappy" marriage because there are no other guys out there? Gimme a break.

But, hey, if I'm over the line (as you said), that's cool. Not like I've never been there before.

I will say this, however. I like my job. Not LOVE, but like. That's the reason I do it. If I did not, I'd get out. Period.
but what does MTSO stand for?

I stand behind my statement and there has been

documentation to support it, but this is a free country and I certainly won't condemn anyone for being a member, I just never would and would never recommend it. 


I don't advocate any curriculum - I detest Abeka, but the websites I have given are a good place to start for anyone who is just feeling things out.  They can ask any questions and get feedback from multiple people, explore various curriculums, buy new or used, find others in their community who homeschool, find support groups, etc.   Rainbow Resource has just about everything ever created as far as curriculum, including what is commonly called boxed curriculum like Abeka or BJU where you buy every subject and the TMs, but also allows you to pick and choose.  I personally write my own curriculum now, but I used various curriculums and various modalities of homeschooling over the years.  There are many different forms of homeschooling too, from a principal approach to the unschooling approach and many others in between.   No one curriculum or modality works for everyone and one of the many joys of homeschooling is having the freedom to use whatever works best for your family.


I am not a secular homeschooler, but there are those that are and I would want them to be able to get the support they need and not feel isolated because they don't share the same belief system that I do.  


 


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


what does SM stand for that I see here all the time?

Heck I am an IC and can't stand it

I was told when considering the position that they wanted someone who could work at least 30 but closer to 40 hours since they had a lot of work.  I thought about it, and decided to do it, and placed my 2 little ones in daycare.  I have since adjusted my schedule so that one is in only 2 days per wk, and the other goes 5 days but abbreviated hours -but, I still have to pay the weekly rate plus the full day drop in rate for the other one. Not a problem if there is a lot of work.


About a month ago, it slowed down and we were told that it would pick up soon, as one MT was leaving and we were getting a new account.  I feel like we are fighting each other for scraps, as the volume has not increased and all of the new hires (I was the first in a hiring wave) are picking up speed as they get better on the accounts.  I can see from the company's standpoint where it is better to have MTs running out of work than to be behind on TAT, but its a balance, because some people are willing to walk away from a job if lack of work goes on long enough.


I honestly would prefer fewer hours and if I were not paying for daycare, I would be happy to cut back, but I just know if I pull my kids out, the long awaited glut of work will finally arrive and I will have to pull all nighters.  I AM getting ready to do this anyway.  The extra money helps us out, but mostly it is going into savings. 


It has to totally suck to be an employee and be required to sit there.  I at least can get tired of checking for work that is not there and decide to go run errands.  Even as a waitress, I got minimum wage if I had no sales for my shift, and the managers were wise enough to cut some people free for the night if business was slow. 


Good luck to you in your situation. 


Can't stand the thought of doing that. sm
My boys and their girlfriends all have their tongues pierced. It's so gross. My oldest boy passed out when he had his done and later took it out. Now he is into tattoos. I pierced my own ears and that was enough. I get needles every month for lab work. Forget the body piercing. On another note, with the way the kids and even adults are all into the body image thing, imagine what the staff will be saying when they are all in nursing homes, hospitals, etc, being taken care of by others.
cannot stand George!!!!!!
But luv luv luv Matthew.

George Clooney...ewwwww!!!!
