quit my previous job in JUNE, not Sept!
I must have September-on-the-brain!
thank goodness, mine started back last week!
--this is me after the bus whisks them away!
Don't know but don't go the first week in June.
Bush is planning to test some nukes and will be creating a mushroom cloud over Vegas.
and I thought I was bad. I usually wear mine for a week and then change into something else.

I think we are-think back to MT Week and..sm

chocolate that someone won and offered to share it with you...I think it was you.....*S*  Pembroke Pines you said....*winks* -


Meanwhile my blood sugar has escalated, dontcha know??  Since that.....chocolate arrived here....*lol*.....but not really laughing (high blood sugar NOT good around this house)......



Look back I believe it was last week
There are two separate thread about the virus threats that have come through the site. The moderator has been working on this. It's not a virus. Truthfully, I forgot what they said it actually was, but supposedly it was nothing to worry about. I'd check the previous posts to get all the information. Or I'm sure the moderate will be on to address the issue.
$234 this june, $120 last June. Connecticut sm

We just had major rate hike.  Can you spell r-i-p-o-f-f?


Try to get you old job back, I'd kill for $500 a week after taxes- nm

Just received mine Saturday. More or less the same thing we were emailed last week. Kind of repeated
that. Just curious about benefits for SE. Never heard of that. The letter might have been a little more explicit about things but still nothing on what the pay plan is.
I went back at 5 wks. I was ready to turn cartwheels after a week.

OMGosh. You too??!! I'm hoping to get back into transcription here in the next week or so (sm)

and I am dreading it big-time.... I know when I had to retype a report while QA I was not only S L O W - but WOW (!!) what a humbling experience..... Much easier to verify what is in front of you than to dream it up yourself!!


I do have assigned accounts and even those I can't get back within 24-48 hours at end of week. s
I think I need to have on-call coverage to help, but I don't have much time to train...I sometimes just think it takes less time to do it myself than to train someone new, but I'm just tired of working all the time. If I could find people who have so much experience that they can just be able to work and get it right by having a sample report and a template...hard to believe, but not everyone can do that....Also need a c-phone to access work on my system.
Mine also says $89 on the back, but...
I got it brand new for around $30 on www.half.com, which is part of eBay.  I get a lot of books and DVDs there.
Hand pain - needing to cut back lines per week. Anyone else done this?
I have so much hand and wrist pain from all this typing.  I only do 5000-6000 lines per week and that is torture.  By the end of the week I have slowed down so badly it is ridiculous.  I think I am going to have to cut way back before I trash my hands and wrists for good.  Has anyone else had this problem and cut back on MT work?  I'm trying to think of other jobs I could do for a few hours a day to make up the difference ($$)that don't involve typing. 
Mine too and 3/4 of the time I have to look at his back
while he puts everying in the computer. It's impersonal, it's rude, and it's the way of the future.
Seems like usual holiday slow-down period. Should pick back up this week or next. nm

I figure if a week has gone by, forget it. But 1 recruiter did take 10 days recently to get back
s
meant to say mine went back yesterday, too. nm
x
I just pulled mine back out of storage - LOVE THEM!! nm
.
Mine held back two weeks and pays
every two weeks, so we submit invoices on the 1st, and the previous two weeks check is mailed on the 1st. Two week pay periods. I agree with the others....I would never agree to wait until the MTSO got paid to get MY pay.
Mine was from my high school test, back in the dark ages.

Sept 2003

I agree with you. I believe the Honolulu mtg is in Sept this yr but
cannot swear to it.

I do bet I know who will have their trips paid though--maybe employees of MW (maybe BH or BM or VP). This co is practically AAMT.

Those of us on the east coast would have to take an addition 2 days in travel each way, so there is 4 days gone right there. While the idea is nice, I am with you on the fact that if I go to Hawaii, I certainly do not want to go to sit in meetings. Of course, all you have to do is sit in 1 for the writeoff, but still, that is way too far to go, just as the trip to Australia was too far to go last year. I would have loved to have gone to either of those places though for a normal reason.

I would still go if someone were to donate the money to me in dollar bills. I remember one was so bold to ask for that for the Australia trip and that took nerve, but where there is determination, are there no bounds? Gotta love determination! I was not so inclined.

In any event, AAMT lost me and probably will lose all their practitioners who have been around awhile. Let the new blood have them. They can pull the wool over their eyes. I have had it with AAMT. No more.
The new Grey's won't start until Sept.

Sept 5 - have a calm August up ahead - sm
the last 2 months have been nuts with Dr. appts (eye, dentist, oncologist, regular checkups); only have 2 scheduled this month, yeah, and only 1 weekend trip. Try to do some local stuff in the remaining month we have though if we don't fry first. Hit 100 today here in VA (NE of Richmond); it's 99 now and 5:30 p.m. NUTS!!!
Yes, Sept. 7 will not be here fast enough - kids are getting more hyper as each day passes! - nm

Is there engineer week? Astronaut week? Veterinarian week?

Thank you for this info!! Texas has passed law to be effective sept. 1, 2006!!!! nm

Rates have simply gone up. We've spent over 500 since Sept. on propane.

20K as of the end of June ... sm
I work for a national. And, I have more than enough time for life outside of work.
Try 575.98 and this is for June :(

as of June, I'm at 47,000 and that was with one month off!

June bugs
Awwww, I miss June bugs, and just hearing about them makes me wish I was back in Missouri, which is where I grew up and we saw lots of them!
June bugs
My husband's uncle used to eat them.
Just turned 29 in June..nm
nm
June to October? More in fall

Congrats! 22 years for me on June 25. nm

To get rid of june bugs you need to get rid of grubs. You can
use Milky Spore but it is expensive and can take up to 3 years.   You can put products on the lawn for grub control and that will eliminate the June bugs.  
go away Kikki aka Melanie aka June (nm)

June was $105 w/o the AC on-- drip pan was rusted out - sm
and needed replacing, unfortunately they could not just get that part for some reason, and had to get the coils to....$645 later, it is fixed as of Friday (we went a month not using it since if we did have it on it would drip into the furnace and rust out the parts there, and have a river run across the garage soaking things too). So normally in the summer the electric runs from $120-$160 with the A/C on. I think we will try to use it less. We have made it this far w/o and it has been around 90-95 every day, with very high humidity (yuck). Electric actually jumped from $90 to $105 since we have fans running non-stop, still cheaper than running the A/C though. Have had a few cooler days now (80s) and cool nights (60s) so that has helped a lot.
Moving to Hawaii in June!
I will be working from 4 am til about 10 or 11 and then going to have the rest of the day to enjoy the sun and surf! Lived there before and loved it and can't wait to get back.
It was already published in June 2008. nm

Typically this week is a slow week in lots of places

because it is a big vacation week.  Typically things slow dow a bit in the summer too because people are putting off elective surgery, but at the same time lots of people going on vacation so it should balance out.   


 


 


Lowest runs $900 week, highest $1400 week (sm)
Get paid 12 CPL. Been doing transcription for about 12 years.
I know the Club Med there will not be open until June 2006, if that is of any help. sm

No doubt a travel agent could give you an idea of how things are.  If it was me, I think I'd wait a bit.  They were hit pretty hard, and there is a lot of cleanup, I'm sure.


Wherever you go, have some sun in the fun for me! 


I just found the best spray for June bugs sm
and spiders, ants and those yukky black and yellow bees that go in the ground. I have June bugs something awful this year, hundreds banging around my house. And those bees were so bad last year I couldn't get in the garden, they had invaded everything and got in the house as well. I talked to a farmer who used this stuff called Suspend. He said it really worked but it was expensive.  I found some on the web and mixed a couple gallons and went around the foundation, under the decks and sprayed a bunch in every bee hole I could find and wow, it's like magic. I haven't seen one bee scouting around the holes, no ants in the house anymore or in the gardens and not one spider. We get those big wolf spiders and I found 4 dead ones in the alley. It's great. It's $40.00 for a bottle (I think its a pint) and it makes around 11 gallons. I bought it at http://www.doyourownpestcontrol.com.  No, I am not a distributor nor do I make any money off referrals. Just recommending something I finally found has worked.
$256.00 for June electric bill in Calif.

Am curious if anyone's else is outrageously high.  Mine typically is $150-200 for summer months. 


I keep temp at 82 during day, 78 at night.  Temperatures here soar to 95-100 though.  But, I live alone and have gas hot water, gas stove.


Working at home has its pluses and minuses!  Leaving the air off for 8-10 hours a day while I was at the hospital working saved me a lot of cash in this utility bills.


 


 


my bill in central California for June was $392,
last month was $299. If this year is anything like last year, July will be $500 and August $600. I keep it at 78 to 80 all day.
Ask if you can come off. Since June is way long enough especially when you're familiar with the
s
Try this....I found it in the Jobs board, but it is from June.

I am a medical Transcriptionist who has over 15 years of experience and also have taught medical transcription and provided quality evaluations for graduating students at the college level. I am in the process of revamping my medical transcription business and have a spot for two either graduates or soon to be graduates to intern.

The internship will be paid at a starting rate of 0.06 cpl (65 char with spaces) while in training and then will go to 0.07 cpl. This is an wonderful opportunity to gain much needed experience as well as allowing you the opportunity to work from home.

Just reply by email if you are interested and tell me a bit about yourself for consideration. You will need a USB foot pedal and either cable or DSL. Also need to have a medical spellchecker and a willingness to learn and retain.

Please specify hours (times) and days available in your response.

Good luck to you.



Consumer Reports June 2005 covers this.....sm
type of information if you'll go to your local library they usually have a copy available there.   Happy researching!
