It does have tinted windows. I will share, LOL. nm
:O)
Describe your dream job in one sentence. (anything goes; it's a dream job.)

My dream job would be straight transcribing half oncology and half psychiatry on a flexible schedule Monday through Friday as a statutory employee for a reputable company with decent dictators at 11 cents per line (a fair living wage for 17 years' experience), first shift.


 


Are you working in DOS or Windows? In Windows, it's Kilobytes.

Well if I'm gonna dream I'm gonna dream big! hehe

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!
HEY YUCK - YOU ARE AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT GETS! LOVE YA MAN!
that is beautiful, thank you....
I am going to email this to my best friend who lost her mother a few years ago. This time of year is always hard for her, as is her mother's birthday. Thank you!!
Beautiful here!
Not to brag - but it is mid 80's, blue skies with little puffy clouds and a nice breeze. Of course, we are in the Pacific NW. Love it here - this is why we left the valley!
Beautiful!

Beautiful MT/ad
Well, I clicked on the link and could not get this ad up - so I missed out on the "beautiful MT".  My question here is - are there any really beautiful MTs out there any longer - or are we all overworked, paid too little for our services, expected to do a lot of work that is not connected to the production that we are paid for - and receive little or no benefits or job security.  I can tell you after 15 years, I do not feel very beautiful.  Would like to hear from those who are "beautiful" and if the procedure to get that way was very painful, as I am contemplating some work.
Thanks so much for this beautiful
prayer.  It's exactly what I needed to begin this new day and new year.  God bless us one and all. 
If you say I am rich and beautiful...will I be?

COLD, 40s, where are you. BEAUTIFUL here in NY.

Can hardly see through the tears here...that was beyond beautiful!!!

Bless you and your wonderful family.  What else can I say but...


Peace...out.


Beautiful out today...
Hey RadGuy, hopefully you are out somewhere enjoying the beautiful day here in Lexington.  I just got home from going out with me, myself, and I to Johnny Carino's (Hamburg Place) for a wonderful lunch.  Then I went to Value City Furniture and spent an hour looking around.  I started to go to Office Depot, but I have this thing about computer desks and decided I had better just come on home !!  
and it is a beautiful state, but...sm
You ask about attitudes.  This is my opinion.  I lived there for 4 years in the 1970s, got married in Denver in '79.  I found the people somewhat racist against many types of people...maybe that has changed today.  I lived in Georgetown, Dumont, and Denver (Glendale and Capital Hill), worked from Loveland Pass way out west in the Rockies to the Bull 'N Bush in Glendale (very east of Denver) when the Broncos went to the Super Bowl, crossing all walks of life.  I would hope, today, it has changed for the better.  Your Father's Moustache Band was around then and still around today. 
Same here, beautiful here in VA 60-70 last 3 days - sm
today we are supposed to get rain and snow, yuk, and back to the cold weather to boot!
Your kitty is beautiful!!! (nm)

Outside weddings can be beautiful...
Don't underestimate this. I had a friend who had a casual wedding (she was not barefoot) but the guys wore blue shirts with khaki pants in a park-like setting with the creek traveling by it. Cut-offs would have been extremely out of place there. Slacks and a casual top would have been okay but I think the best choice is a dress (not exceedingly dressy) and sandles. My experience - one of the prettiest weddings I have ever been to.
Sounds Beautiful
Patti that sounds just wonderful. I'd love to live somewhere like that. I sounds so peaceful and relaxing.
Yes...trust her. It's beautiful! NM

beautiful post, THANK YOU. nm

maybe...(beautiful thoughts) SM
Maybe... we are supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Maybe... when the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the new one which opened for us.

Maybe... It is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.

Maybe... The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything they have.

Maybe... You should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of and want to do.

Maybe... There are moments in life when you miss someone – a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child – so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.

Maybe... The best kind of friend is one you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word...but when they walk away you feel as if it was the best conversation you've ever had.
< br> Maybe... You should always try to put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person, too.

Maybe... You should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.

Maybe… Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.

Maybe.. You shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive; Don't go for wealth; even that fades. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.





Wow..beautiful messages...THANK YOU EVERYONE!

I really appreciate you all taking the time to give me some insight.  I'm going to hang in there.  The one poster was right--I do have PTSD from my old job who stressed me continously about firing me!  Sigh..that was a horrible experience and I'm still burned from that.  I had never gone through anything like that before.  Every job I've ever had, I excelled with it. Well again, THANK YOU! 


More about dream job
Thanks for the reply. Please e-mail me if you have time as I would definitely like to get suggestions. I have tested with several companies and they are waiting for reply but just want to be careful in making the best choice for me. I too am lucky enough not to have to have income now but would love part-time with a flexible schedule.

Thanks in advance,
gj
I actually had a dream
about being on this board!! I also transcribe in my dreams.  I guess those are actually nightmares since everything goes wrong and I have zero lines at the end of the day.
your dream would be 5ƈ"..LOL...sm

C'mon, I'm the 5' poster but 5'2"?  You'd be happy just to be 5'2"?  I was 5'3/4" most of my life but not now, lost almost an inch....


striving for 5'2" - *that's very funny to me.....because people have always thought I'm taller than 5'...because of the *stomach in, chest out* way I carry myself....I feel tall inside *L*...but if I had my druthers, 5'2" isn't tall enough in my opinion, it's still very, very short, and I'd love to have been 5'6" or 5'7".....


Dream job.

If employee, a good line rate with paid vacation and holidays, retirement, disability insurance.  Flexible hours as much as possible.  User-friendly platform.  Open communication with management staff and other employees.  Occasional bonus/perk to show appreciation. 


If IC, a line rate high enough to provide my own beenies.  Flexible hours as long as within tournaround time.  Backup on account for occasional time off.  Enough work to provide a decent line count.  User-friendly platform.  Access to management when needed.   Occasional bonus/perk to show appreciation. 


my dream job would be

Yes those things you mentioned - good line rates, health insurance, good incentive program, paid time off - those things would be a dream for an IC like me.


I also believe if you do a good job it would be nice to hear it once in awhile, perhaps in the form of a Chrismas bonus !  I feel I am a hard worker and have over 10 years experience, struggle through ESLs and poor dictators and really don't get paid enough for my time.  To NOT feel like a cog in a wheel would be wonderful. 


Good luck to you with YOUR dreams !!


dream job
How about at-home for those of us that do Pathology?
Dream job
Please, when you open your company, can I come work for you? How lovely!
Dream job
My dream job would be working for a company that offers benefits, but health insurance where you can have coverage no matter what state you live in, paid time off, 401K after 3 months of employment, not a year. Also, a fair amount per line rate. Twenty-five years ago I made 7 cents a line and now the rates are not much higher than that. Management and QA who treat the employees with respect, appreciate employees for a good job done as well as being loyal to that company. I have seen too much greed by company owners in my years as an MT, by that I mean they take all the profits, live in big beautiful houses, while the MTs struggle from paycheck to paycheck. We all work hard for our money and we deserve to be treated with respect and the employer can be treated with respect in return by the MTs working their schedules, QA being 99% or above, etc. This is the only job I have had and I love being an MT but I do not like the greed I have seen over the years. But, not all companies are the same. Thanks for the survey and good luck with your business.
Dream job

Okay let me see if I get it from the answers below


.10 cpl minimum for transcriptionist, higher for specialities; 0.2 to 0.4 cpl for benefits; 0.2 to 0.4 for QA, 0.3 - 0.4 for owner; 0.2 minimum for investor and yes I know a lot of companies/hospitals that will pay 19 to 24 cpl for transcription services.  Like you said, dream not  realistic. Oh yea and then have enough work force on hand to do the work in a 24 hour TAT,  less if there are QA problems and it goes there.   Then not many ESL's  --.  Also balanced work force for enough on hand to do the job in your contracted time frame or you will be docked severely but not to many so everyone has their work they want and those on stand by that will do work when someone calls in sick or has a personal problems or do not want to work.  Then there is the time that doctors take vacations and work flow is down and everyone is yelling at you.  Like you said it is a dream job.   It could be possible but it is a very hard business to run smoothly and profitable for everyone.  I only have two I/C's and 6 accounts and I am ready to chuck it in and just do what I can do for myself as it is very hard to balance and keep everyone happy and the 20 to 25% you make off those accounts is very well earned.  I do wish you success and it all sounds good but there is lot more there that does not meet the eye when you become an MTSO.   I also had my dream of being larger and providing a very decent job to home based MT's but after a few years I saw the writing on the wall and kept it as 2 - 3 I/C's and that is very hard to balance all out.   They are I/C's and have the right to work and not work.    And if you pay any benefits, they do become employees and then you have more expenses with benefits, insurance, workman's comp, etc., etc.  But hey you might be able to do it and I wish you the best.    Give MQ a run for their money.

Dream Job
I would be willing, if I had choice of the account type I had to work, at 7.5 cpl, as an IC.
My dream job would be....
...to be able to work at home being paid $16.50 or more per hour, working Tuesdays thru Fridays, no weekends, no holidays, paid vacation, sick time, all English speaking doctors, clinic/doctor's office work only, and work being available all the time.
not a dream, but...
About 4 years ago, my nephew shot himself...for 2 weeks before his death, I was sick...so sick I couldn't work, eat, or sleep, but had no real symptoms. I just had this overwhelming feeling of dread, butterflies in my stomach, shaky legs and all. After his death, that feeling went away, replaced with another, but we won't go there...
That is my dream job, as well! lol
Maybe it just takes a transcriptionist's eye, but recently in the paper, we had a story on a doctor who did her residency at Cedar-Cyanide! :)  I love the closed captioners, too....That's my next job, I think!!  A few that I can remember seeing are "Vegas" nerve stimulator (when you want a good day gambling, I guess),  the Soup Earp Bowl, and Since Gnatty Bengals.  And they get paid big bucks for that!!
Not a dream....
That's what I make on this account is 14 cpl on 65-character line. I also have another account that pays me 11 cpl on a 60-character line. Maybe you need to look around if you're not doing so well.
Dream job
You might try Amphion out of WI. They actually prefer their people working day shift with no weekends. They have wonderful benefits and I think may pay per hour also. They are affiliated with University of Wisconsin Medical School I believe. Good Luck!
Dream on..

working on a project.  They expect it as they are paying hourly for your work, no matter what that entails "other duties as assigned." 


I thought I could say "I didn't want to train a new hire" and guess what?  My boss said it is in all other duties. 


If this was the case in terms of project manager, then I should have been called a trainer and made more money.


Come on guys, get real!


My dream job would be...
traveling around the world by yacht taking pictures of perfect sunsets, making enough money to donate to worthy causes. But then I wake up to my cats meowing "Feed us, we're hungry." Oh well, I'll put them on the boat with me. They can eat what they catch.
Dream Job
I love the entertainment industry, but have no talent (LOL), but I'd love to be an entertainment reporter and get to go to all the great parties and get to hang out with the rich and famous.
Dream job . . .
Produce and perform the kind of worship songs that automatically give you the "good goosebumps".
Dream job...
Mine is to one day have my own greenhouse, which I'm actually going back to school for horticulture this fall!
dream job
I love transcription but due to no money, would love to sell my book and travel some to get ideas for others.
Dream Job
My dream job would be to stay far, far away from MT companies!!!
dream job
something portable... so that I am not tied to one place. I want to be able to travel anywhere and earn money at the same time. How about MT on a laptop? But I want to be able to travel internationally as well.  Entirely flexible hours would be great.
I have dream job
I work part-time transcribing psychiatry notes on a flexible schedule (turnaround usually in 24 hours), and then I also work for a multinational marketing company that works with Fortune 500 companies.  They measure their success by how many millionaires they produce!  It is wonderful.  I am setting things up so that I can do my work with my laptop wherever it is that I am in the country.  Send me an email if you want to hear more! 
a beautiful man! plain and simple.
and a great actor.
Denver beautiful town
Granola tree huggers??  Sounds good to me..better than cholesterol artery clogged tree destroyers.  My cousin lives in Westminster, another in Estes Park. 
If you are so extremely thin and beautiful,
then why are you on this site. Are you a transcriptionist. If you are as beautiful and thin as you say you are, I doubt very seriously that you'd be typing for a living.
Thank you MT stars for the beautiful print. I am going to have it

framed and hang it in my living room.  I think you are doing a great thing with the Santa's House project, too.
