I went back in house and love it. I love not being

In Reply to: I sure would not leave the house to work - not for anybody. SM - Becky

secluded. I was working in my PJs, less organized and feel much better now that I get up and dress for work and see people (even those in traffic aren't so bad anymore). I find that I have more of a life now, and my family says that I spend more time with them now.

Working at home served its purpose for a long time; I was ready to go out into the world again now that I have no little ones at home.

Anyone else love to watch House on Fox?
I love that show
Pergo - I have it throughout my entire house and love it!

My heart hurts. I love House.
I've loved the Stacy/House story.  That episode with the kiss in the hotel room while he was on the phone? Man. Can I just say under this cloak of anonymity that I didn't fall asleep on the couch that night. Well, I guess that's beside the point.  I love that show..I love House.  Hugh Laurie is so great in that role.  I really wanted that story line to continue.  I like Sela Ward and I hope she comes back.  That forbidden romance story line is too good to let go.  I think he let her go for more than one reason.  He loves her but he is afraid.  He knows that he can't change and he knows that at some point she will need more, like he said.  He would rather let her go now, back to her husband who I think he likes.  He doesn't want to hurt the guy, even though he's in love with his wife. If he lets her go now, she gets to stay in her marriage.  He knows that if she stays with House, she will lose her marriage, and eventually things will go wrong with House, and they will both be losers in love.  Make sense? 
No, but it is hard not to fall in love with a house. sm
Glad you will be able to back out of this, though.  There will be another house for you, without the previous damage.  good luck.
Love in house, hate nationals at home nm

I love Maine! Ever been to the Cliff House in Ogunquit?
The spa is the best!

I work in-house for doctor's office now and Love My Job!
Good Luck.  I accepted an in-house position at a doctor's office after being laid off from a very large hospital. It is wonderful to be able to go and ask the doctor questions and get feedback directly from them.  It really is the way to go now instead of working for the really big transcription companies.  I feel like I am appreciated.
love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
I love it, my pay has gone back up to what
I want but just have to keep it on fast forward and go as fast as possible to make a pretty good salary. The salary for me will not be as it was in the past but then again have slowed down voluntarily as just tired of all those long hours, resting more and living off the fat of the land.
Yep that's it, 4000. Love, love love the zoom
But I feel like a dork typing...every time I try to type But it is coming out as Nut!
Love being back home...
but frustrating at times. Seems everyone wants my job. It's soooo easy they say. Now I'm not an expert by all means and I continue to learn as I go. Discipline is one of the keys...my poor house doesn't get cleaned anymore (I wonder when someone will notice).

And those moms who think I work at home and call on you to pick up their kids because their "working". That's my boiling point.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Yes - I love it! I will check back here later to see if I can help you (sm)
with anything specific?
Wouldn't you love to send it back and say
"and it's a good think you use YOUR spellchecker, Ms. Boss Lady!"

I've gotten these kinds of emails numerous times and it steams the heck out of me.
I LOVE my wide screen. I will never go back. That being said....
I had to do some tweaking of the settings. I went to START, display, and then the setting tab (far right hand side). I have my screen resolution set on the 2nd notch from the word "less" on the left hand side. That is my home monitor.

For work, I have the same resolution setting and then, because we use Chartscript.NET, I can set my resolution different than the default and I set it at 105. That seems to work best for me.

I have also tried maximizing and minimizing the window sizes too. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. I think you need to tweak your settings until you find the one that works best.
I just pulled mine back out of storage - LOVE THEM!! nm

Love to know how far back it goes, was a member for about a year in 1998, we could use $$, furnace b
so its cold here! Actually it broke the 15, the night before we left for Disney on a Make-A-Wish trip for my daughter Jenny....(we had a blast)...got back 2 days ago, it broke again that night (21st). DH got it running again, but the heater guy disassembled it last night and has not returned yet to put it back together and fix it. Luckily we have a propane fireplace or we'd be in big trouble, still chilly though especially since it goes down to 25 at night, brrrr!---so any $$$ if we are included or entitled would be wonderful...but I doubt we will get so lucky since it was so long ago that I was a "member" of AOL. Guess I will just have to work even more to pay for the repair, fun.
To adminstrators. Love your new format. Could you please back the actual time of the post.
Love the little smiley faces that can be added too.  And the print.  Just bring back the time along with the date of post if possible.
I love it too - love doing my nails 5 hours a day and staying awake

Love NOT getting paid while sitting doing my nails too.  It's a real turn on.


I tell all my friends to try it -- sit in front of your computer while you have no money to pay your rent and instead do your nails, you get a real buzz down in the pit of your stomach.


 


Also LOVE LOVE ESCRIPTION and make good money but...
Can I ask how you sit there for 8 hours. Lately, I'm having a motivation problem. When I focus, I can rack up the lines, but lately, I get so easily distracted. My mind wanders and I struggle to get my lines. Any tips on how you stay productive who do you work for?? I work for Transcend.
People either love it or hate it. I personally love it
but I know a lot of people say you cannot make any money on it and will not work on it. I do okay. I'm obviously not getting rich but I am making a living. I found it easier than Dictaphone and faster such in downloading and uploading job and you only have to log on one system and not like Dictaphone where you have to log onto the VPN and then log onto the program. It's always worth a try, but yes, the biggest complaint I hear is that no one can make a living and the cpl isn't that great.
BD WONG! I love him! I love all CSI and Law and Orders!
I am so addicted. I actually schedule my job and family around the shows LOL.
Love love love my chair
The arms can be lowered so they won't be in your way, I don't know about the tilt limiter. But I bought my off ebay about 6 years ago and can't do without it. No I do not think you can find another chair that even compares to the aeron, changed my working life completely, no sore back or butt. You won't regret it, but you will if you go for a cheap imitation.
LOL. I love it. I also love the song sm
I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now. Miss the Happy Goodmans!
Repeat after me: I love my job, I love my job. :) nm

You can love a job and still love being home! sm

I got into medical transcription for many reasons.  Yes, one was that I wanted to be home with my children, another was that I wanted to be in the medical field, and yet another was this just fits me.  Medical terminology and grammar are two things that have always come easily to me.  So, this fits.  I can work early, early mornings and late nights when they are asleep.  Also during afternoon naps.  Yeah, doesn't leave a heck of a lot of time for myself, but THAT is a sacrifice I am willing to make, leaving my kids for someone else to raise/care for all day wasn't. 


I do not love money but I love what it can buy
for me. I work 4 days a week now and was not bringing home what I wanted every 2 weeks, for some reason that is at least 1,000.00. I just decided to turn up the speed and put my mind to doing at least 3000 lines a day and figured by that should get what I want in the pay line. Worked well for me. I tell people if you want to talk with me call before I go to work, do not let outside influences bother me during my hours. Other than a bathroom break, glass of water, here for the straight 8.
I love Google and I love MTs
Okay, who in their right mind would not only discuss but have passionate opinions about hyphens and apostrophes? I love it!

Anyway, in googling grammar rules I found numerous references that two days' time would not but hyphenated but when used as a modifier like two-day history, it would be.

I remember telling an OB nurse friend of mine about fretting over 38 weeks pregnancy and whether the hyphen belonged in there and she just laughed and said she thinks she would get the point either way. Well harumph!
I wish I could go back in house
I worked in-house in Florida and we made a base of 14 (this was back from 1997 to 2000), with $1 per hour more for everything over 500 lines per day to a top of 18.00 per hour PLUS 8 cpl for anything after 1000 lines per day. I made 1300 biweekly take home plus another 1500. monthly bonus. You could get up and stretch, talk to coworkers, etc. Now the circulation in my legs is shot, my hands are nearly non functional, and for nothing!
Back when I was in house it was -

Love Judge Judy but love Judge Joe
Brown. I often wonder how many of the people involved in Judge Joe's cases have to go home and look up in the dictionary what he said to them. Some of them just have blank faces staring at him when he is giving them a lecture, w/o a clue of what he is actually saying to them.
You would need to go back in-house to be paid by the hour.

Big Brother fans. Whose going to be voted back in the house?

This is absolutely the worst reality show ever and I am mesmerized by it.


I guess the bottom line is any one of us would go back to in-house... SM

given the chance.  I re-read my previous post to you and I sounded like a b*tch and I wanted to apologize.  You sound like a very positive person who takes criticism and not so pleasant advice very diplomatically.


If your problems with your boss are more of a personal nature, rather than the quality or quantity of your work, I would maybe go over her head.  You already have an adversarial relationship with her anyway, so why not get it on record that you feel she is treating you unfairly?  Or maybe confront her yourself?  I would probably do the latter.  I'm not someone that can bite my tongue which probably explains why I work by myself at a computer all day rather than in customer service! 


Just an FYI, I actually am starting an in-house MT job at a hospital tomorrow!  I've decided that if they try to lay me off in favor of outsourcing, I'm just going to refuse.  I'm going say "nope, I'm sorry, I refuse to be laid off.  I'm going to get back to work now."  I wonder what they would do? 


Love Sci-Fi!
cant wait to see it!
I would love to but
my husband does not think we will make it on the bills (I think he likes all of the extra money I'm making on the side) He is a good guy with a good job and does support my choice since he bought me a new computer and paid for my school, but he also is use to a life style that he leads where he does not worry about money.  In my day job I make about 27000.00 a year and I know in my first couple of years I might do close to that if I'm lucky and can land a decent account.  Sorry I'm just venting and I'm so tired of working so much, thank god I dont have kids right now I don't have the time to go to the bathroom anymore.
love IT
:
sure do love rather
A true patriot and truth teller..too bad the source he got his truthful information from about Bush running away from his military duties did not have the original reports..Bush, warmonger, military deserter, governor who murdered the most on death row, destroyer of environmental protection, jerk when it comes to global warming, idiot when it comes to understanding evolution..just a plain low IQ idiot..who should never have been president but he had plenty of oil biggies who paid his way and now he is repaying them big time to the detriment of the middle class of America..
the one I love the best is (sm)
the incinuation (sp?) that I don't have a "real" job! I even hear my kids telling their friends that I "don't work, just at home". UHHH, hello? I get a paycheck, don't I! No respect! I just like to think the other folks are jealous! Oh, well, too bad for them!
Love my job
I have an associate's degree in secretarial studies.  I ended up working as a secretary in a multispecialty clinic, which led me directly to the transcription department to train as a transcriptionist.  I love being home to be there for my children.  My husband, on the other hand, has a master's degree in business, and he is the main breadwinner in our family. 
Love rad but...
teaching hospitals tend to have really long reports due to residents and their tendency to TALK A LONG TIME so as to impress the attending physicians. That is my only complaint about it, tho. Its understandable - they're new on the job and all - but its funny when an old-timer doctor gets on and tosses off a CT or MRI in a few sentences while the new resident makes it into a thesis or term paper! ARGH!  But overall, I highly recommend rad.
I love my MT job!
I am an IC and absolutely love working for myself!  Its not all bad
Okay, how many of you can truly say you still love being an MT?...
I am really close to leaving MT work, but so far the benefits are outweighing the negatives. I just need to hear that someone out there still loves being an MT, works for a good company, and is making enough money to not only pay their bills, but are doing okay. Is anyone out there?
I don't love being a MT, but

I work for a great company, always have work, make a good line rate ... and it's all done from home.


As the song goes, "who can ask for anything more." 


Hey, I am from HI and we love him, believe it or not! sm
He has done some real good to the people of HI. He has a ton of money and uses his money to help people, give them jobs, pay for rehab, etc. He is a "born-again Christian" although I know some may not believe it since he acts like a hellion sometimes, but we really do love him!

I no longer live in HI since I married, but my entire family still lives there. My sister was visiting me a few months back (she actually has never left the island we are from) and we were sitting in my living room here watching it one night. All of a sudden she starts yelling and screaming at the t.v. saying that her neighbor was one of the fugitives they were looking for! We didn't know whether to laugh or cry! Needless to say, she ended up moving from that neighborhood! She knew the guy personally and had no idea he was a fugitive or even did drugs like that! She is an MT too.

As far as the guns, well they don't believe in them and they only carry mace to catch the criminals. I am worried that he and his team will be shot one day. Of course, the locals who are clean and are NOT fugitives love to get the bad guys out of their neighborhoods, but the bad guys hate him! I'm sure there may be a bounty out for him because of the way he goes about things. But, I love him. I had to get used to his wife, but she's sorta grown on me and now I like her! I know behind that mean persona she has a real soft heart!

My sister ran into him at the airport when they were filming one day. I got her hooked on that show!

Can you tell I am a big DOG fan? I just have to get past that darn mullet and wife-beater t-shirt. My DH says I like DOG so much that he's thinking of dressing up like him for Halloween. I asked him not to wait that long! LOL :)
I did and Love it!!
I know everyone's experience is different, but the only thing that really changed for me was it put me back on track workwise, nothing else really changed as far as accounts or anything, I am just more motivated to get my work done in the proper time frame now so instead of working 6-7 days a week I work 5 and am earning PTO, have health insurance, etc.
I love these!!

The "Poor transcriptionist" got me going     and the "operator" kept it going....I will be smiling the rest of the day.  Thanks for sharing!!!


Don't you love when that happens?
NM
Love it!
I bought an '05 this year and I absolutely love it!
Love that name!!! :) nm

Love you too!
I am not negative. I'm 100% positive. That's why I avoid negativity/negative people.

I'm telling you from a business owner and 20-year MT's point of view.

I'm sorry if you took offense. I didn't mean to touch on your sore spot.
