ignorance. You must get off on bashing people? Are you that miserable of a person? I think it is safe to assume that you don't have much of a life, probably because no one can stand being around someone so negative. Grow up!!

It isn't about showing MTs the money, it's about showing

Minnie--If your kids are grown, then you must be in my age bracket (an old timer, ha-ha). One hears so much about ''burn out'' and that this is a young person's profession so it is encouraging to read about your production. Like you, it was not a ''home''job when I started out and when I did come home years ago, I thought my production would sky-rocket but the reverse has been true--I think because I have been ''babying'' myself. Anyway, your posts are very inspiring.
Minnie- sm
I'm not sure if your repeated posts about MTs going into this field only to be able to stay home are specifically referring to my original post, but if that is what you mean, I wanted to let you know that in my situation, that is not the case. I worked for an opthalmology clinic for about 2 years and then for a small transcription service for about 6 years. My daughter was about 3 years old at that time. The thought never even occurred to me that I might be able to work from home one day. Frankly, I just didn't know that was a possibility at the time. But, I still loved MT'ing.

Then, when I became pregnant with my second child and started looking into other options to increase my income, I jumped on the opportunity to work at home for Medquist. So I have been home ever since. That was 8 years ago. Not that this is relevant, but I don't work for MQ anymore! However, I will be forever grateful to them for giving me the opportunity to be able to work from home, which is a huge challenge when you are accustomed to being able to call another MT over to your desk to take a listen to a tough word!
Well, I am a skinny minnie and can't do that
RA has a tendency to make you feel a lot older than you are.

Oh but I used to get my legs up there once upon a time. Those were the good old days, free of painful hips.:)
Minnie - Do you have a family? (sm)
I'm just curious - If you have kids, are they grown and out of the house now? I guess if I were alone 24 hours a day, my production would be out of this world as well. If you do have family still at home, how do you manage to keep them quiet while you are working? :)
Do you have kids, Minnie?

But, but, but ... they always sound like Mickey or Minnie Mouse to me!
... at least on the speed I play them. :o>


Well, give Minnie a gold star. SM

Like or not, Minnie, some of us got into this profession because it allows us to be at home, run our households, and work at the same time. 


Minnie you have to be the angriest person I have seen on this board
What up with that. No one is whining. We are doing a job. It is boring as sin and we all have a life beyond this job, which you don't seem to have. All anyone doing is venting through some of the rough spots that we all have from time to time. Give it a rest will ya
I like Minnie and Pearl and Glenda. This thread is not very nice. nm

Unfortunately showing my age here, but
Yul Brynner was always the greatest to me!!  Just wish he was still alive!!!  What a sexy man!!!!!
showing my age
I was only 7 when it came out (just checked), so it's just now becoming a classic for me (he, he, he).
And I'm really glad it wasn't meant to be mean.
you are showing your IGNORANCE
Apparently that is all you have gained from 'getting out, living and learning'.

Knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom.

I hope you truly 'get smart' by the time you have to give an account for all you have done and not done to the One that made you.
What? How in the world can you say that? I AM showing
compassion. Yes, I'm a mother. I can't pat her on the back and try to settle her. She seemed upset. I was trying to soothe her irritation, literally.

I think you have taken me wrong. I'm very tender with my babies and I thought I was coming across that way to the post above as well.

Gee, I'm sorry if she took that wrong.
I think I did not speak clearly about the just showing up MTs

If a company hires only ICs, then they cannot expect them to work except for the times they want. 


Typing less than 100 lines a day is not pocketchange because of the pay. 


I don't want to worry about the IRS showing

up on my doorstep, so I have my taxes done by H&R Block.  No guarantee that you still won't have problems with IRS, but it makes me feel better.  I don't claim my house/utilities.  I don't claim nickel and dime stuff either. 


When my mother died exactly a week later I get a letter from the IRS stating she owed $25,000.00 - no explanation.  I was freaking, not only was I grieving but having to worry about this.  I wrote a very nice letter, sent them a copy of her death certificate, and said I thought the issue was a roll-over of an IRA.   My mom didn't have much money and I knew that she had rolled over one so I was just guessing.   They sent me a letter a couple of weeks later saying the situation had been resolved and no monies due.  I  don't know what the problem was, but 5 years later I still have that letter.


 


Absolutely! They are showing this whole
last season all summer long. Every Tuesday night...two episodes back to back.
Your young age is showing!
I remember the dictabelt, we had to mark it with chalk to know where to start it up. Talk about archaic! The times they are a'changin! (and for this part - the better!)
Sorry, then, was showing my ignorance! :) nm

The memory showing says up to on
all of them, which means that is the maximum you can have, but you customize.  You can pick the cheapest one, but by the time you customize it, it can be $200 to $300 more.    I looked at them all and the processor speed is not that fast.  Depending on what programs you use it may be too slow.    I would get one with a faster processor speed.    You may also want to get a laptop with XP instead of Vista since there are still so many bugs with it. 
showing my ignorance
I did not know there were services like that, how do you contact them, what are they called?
and ridiculing someone instead of showing--sm
compassion towards any given person or situation is NOT making them a victim?
LOL..showing your age honey
I absolutely loved your post and agreed a gazillion percent; however, you ARE showing your age here....LOL... with Dr. Marcus Welby and Dr. Kildare... you forgo ZORBA too!!!  LOL.  Oh......the good ol days of good programs to watch......
They have been showing a great documentary on it on HBO lately--
really is good, depressing and upsetting of course, but gives a lot of insight I think.
Go RadGuy, your testosterone is showing NM

LOVE that response about showing
up naked because you can't afford clothes!  ROTFL. Seriously, though, you should not have to put up with that, but then office politics are undeniably tough and all the troublemakers stick together so it can be difficult if you are the only one with 'the problem."  Bose headphones are the best but very pricey but maybe you can find some on EBay...Good luck!
Poor thing, your negativity is showing

yeah, I keep firing myself but I keep showing up for work the next day.

I agree. Unless you are showing a possessive form for
There are different situations to consider.

Plural forms:
Call all of your MTs and have them respond.

Possessive forms:
Make sure the MT's phone number is correct.

We have these 2 choices because there are 2 characters in this acronym.

When there is only 1 character (alpha or numeric), there is always an apostrophe, regardless.

Single characters:
The patient counted using serial 8's.

Please dot all I's and cross all T's appropriately.

Multiple characters:
In the 1980s, the bill was enacted.

Blood sugar was in the 300s on return of labs.

getting paid is showing appreciation for my work. that's all i care about.
who cares if some supervisor "appreciates" me?  i'm in it for the money not for someone to "appreciate" me. 
At my company, as soon as they start showing improvement, they are gone and we get a new batch.

No reason to feel good about it. Just showing that kids are going to get into trouble
So let them learn how to function in society rather than hide them from it.

You have your W2 showing very clearly those taxes were paid. MQ is responsible for those taxes
because you were a statutory employee. That is the responsibility of the employer to pay those just as though you were an employee.
