In Reply to: Maybe it was where you post fell .. I thought - MomMT
posts. I just know that then I will be rather more than irritated! If I read them...I can tell they're horrible...But if we're here, talking about warm milk, and who is who, and why is why, then none of us will have to go back UP and read those...other posts!!

When they come back to you, I think I'd be tempted to say my rates are a bit higher now. sm
This could happen again next time some cheapo company comes along. Might as well charge for the headache and lost $ in advance.
that was just plain ugly, sorry I read that post (NM)

OK! I'm glad you're back down here. Now don't go back up there and read those evil posts ag
Okay? But I have to leave you now, sadly. Thousands of noble dictating doctors are anxiously awaiting my help with their "dictations"....They're all loading up on chips, drinking lots of soda so they can burp, and then have to go to the bathroom...You know the routine! Off I go to earn some pennies!! But, truly, I am thankful that I have a job! 
That is what I said if you'll read my below post.

Definitely the average. Read the different ads and you'll see. :) nm

Yes, she'll be back unfortunately...
Otherwise she wouldn't have made such a big fuss about saying she was leaving...lol. If she was leaving, she could have just gone away...didn't have to tell us all, although it's nice to know she's gone. For now.
I'm sure that she'll be right back in line....sm
at the shelters getting the free meals, handouts and applying for additional government aide.
When they announced they were giving out these debit cards I knew immediately that it would be misused by people. There's nothing to stop them from taking the cards, putting them into an ATM and getting cash, which some people will then buy illegal drugs and alcohol with.
I don't mind handing out money who can prove they had a place to live prior to the disaster but I do have a problem with handing out wads of cash to the people that were homeless and not trying to seek employment before the storm - those folks have basically hit the social lottery as they've now been given free transportation, meals, shelter and tons of other stuff just because they were there.
One of my relatives who was in Hurricaine Andrew saw this same type of abuse going on in Miami after that storm. He saw people walking around with the wads of cash the federal government gave them and blowing it on either stupid purchases or on partying, then turn around and file for a loan that they didn't intend to pay back to continue misusing the money.
Just hit Ctrl Z and you'll get back what you

Thank you for responding. I'll get back to you. sm
Not sure what I want. I'm thinking of leaving MT and I feel that I have good qualifications for other types of transcription.
Thank you! Guess I'll have to go back...
and try again!
Read the WHOLE THREAD, from the begnning,then you'll understand!...sm
It is very wrong to jump in right in the middle of a thread!
You have to read what lead to this particular comment.
Happy New Year back at you! Have fun! We'll
be fine, won't we, folks? Have a good time!
Read these boards, & you'll find 'rude & inconsiderate'

ok I went back and re-read your post.
You have 2 toddlers who need daycare.
You have a teen (the childsupport)
You have $350 roomie but that + disappears with his costs of living there. and I would be scared to count on it.
You have $9500 CC bill which that payment is probably about $200 a month.
At $42,000 that is not solid money - it is PT monies.
1. Can the BF come up with his probable court-ordered child support of at least $1000 a month?
2. Do you make car payments?
3. How much is your student loan payment - and for how much longer?
4. Do you have a degree in something? Should you stay in transcription?
5. Can you make the house payments if the BF finks out on the child support in 2 years if your 16 yo moves out and gets married and doesn't attend college?
6. You will be at an expensive time in your life with the 1 and 2 YO/ who will then be 3 and 4 years old by then and still needing day care.
7. A house is expensive upkeep. And much energy.
I agree with the others. Don't jump the gun here. Take care of one thing at a time. Get yourself into a situation where you won't be stressed if there comes a blip in the road - like you break your arm - or the car tears up - or you need an emergency root canal - one of the kids breaks a leg and you need to stay home. There are a million things.
I would rent, move BF out, get childsupport started from him to see how that goes, re-look at the budget.
when the FT job comes around, and if you feel it is the one for you and they are good for the money, then look at the house. You must live for you, not the 16 YO.
By then you will have your FT monies coming in, the child support coming in, you will know what your extra income is, you will have all your insurances in place and leave time built up, and a house may be good by then. Also, the market is overvalued right now. They are saying people buying right now may be buying things that won't be worth what they paid for them in a year.
Do you have any family you could stay with at all for 6 months. You need some breathing space, girl.
Again, good luck.
First off, go back and read your post sm
and grade yourself. Start out by paying attention to what needs to be capitalized in your post. I see at least 11 areas. I see a word that should be plural instead of singular. One sentence is not a complete sentence. Maybe you need to go over these sections in your course again. They are generally in the very beginning.
I read back over the whole report ....sm
I don't play the dictation back though. I just read it to make sure no mistakes are in it.
That should read "are pregnancy women..." And I'll be over around 6 for dinner. I love Lob

Just say it's not going to work out, quit, and send the stuff back. Not like you'll be using t

MICHELLE!! GET BACK DOWN HERE! OH NO! YOU'VE READ THEM!
Its too late, but come back down here and laugh. Don't read the ugly posts! They're not there - they are not really there - they don't exist, nor does the ugly poster!! 
Is there a way to get a read receipt back from someone who has web mail?
I seem to only be able to see if someone has actually opened up a mail I have sent with a read receipt attached if they have certain types of e-mail accounts. Is there a universal way I can do this from my Outlook Express? Thank you for any input here!
You better go back and read the ORIGINAL post again -
What a self-righteous

POLL - Are you read for your kids to go back to school? (sm)
Yes and no is the answer for me. I love them home with me (11 and 13), but am ready to have the nice quiet house to myself for work.
I'm tempted to bid on it just to tell him that he cannot tell
independent contractors what the pay will be. Otherwise, it's considered employee status if he's setting the rate.
ooh now I am tempted!
especially since I am going on a tropical getaway in 2 weeks! 
Sometimes I get tempted to..
transcribe all the sounds that I hear, including the conversations where he trashes a patient and/or another doc, or tells dirty jokes in the locker room, etc. When I get told "this is a verbatim account" it's especially tempting. What say we all try it for a while? More pay with all the extra words, maybe even more respect - no I guess not.
Cool site! I'll be back. Coolblooded is feature of Universal Cosmos: http://ranchero.com/netnewsw
Nice post. I'll return. Corner will Gnome unconditionally , when Soldier Con Boy Make Universal, Coolblooded, Memorizing nothing comparative to White , Tremendous is feature of Central Cosmos Pair will Chair unconditionally
I did. I'm just really tempted to NOT give it to him.
I lose money by searching for this information because he can't be bothered to even pronounce it correctly or spell it for me when he's looking right at it in the chart.
I am always so tempted to pretend to buy into it
and string them along thinking they have a catch. Someone did that and once and posted all the emails they had sent back and forth somewhere- they were hysterical.
I am SO tempted to be passive aggressive here.
This darn doctor wants me to send a copy of the report to another physician. "Send a copy of this to foreign doctor's name." No spelling, no address, nothing. I finally find the address by accident just by scrolling through the directory. The doctor has not only badly mispronounced the name, but gave the last name as the first name. I'm really tempted to provide the phonetic spelling as he dictated it and tag it with a noted telling him to verify the spelling and provide the address. Really, how on earth am I supposed to know the doctor's information?
If it were my kid, I'd be very tempted to call off the party....
But I hope you figured something out. Let us know how you made out.
There are good points and there are bad and ugly points. Unfortunately, the bad and ugly get
deleted. Just the other day there was info and it seems to be more positive. Like any MT job, some love it, some hate it. But, having been employed there, the bad parts are/were true. The changes sound great but not great enough to make me change my mind about working for them. I do say she pays well for the area. She is one of the rare business owners who actually started out as an MT..I think that makes a big difference in pay.
:D -- I'd be real tempted, since she chooses to dictate
to type the words and/or phrases she breathes in while speaking as well. So something like, 'continue on the same regimen' - spoken on an inhale, should be typed: ' nemiger emas eht no eunitnoc'.
Might be good for a laugh____
I'd be tempted to think he meant SP02. That would be a reasonable air sat value, and sounds simi

Don't go there!!! It is ugly, ugly, ugly.

No, I wasn't trying to be ugly to ANYONE. I truly was
trying to make some peace.
Goodness gracious.
Sorry folks.

The good, the bad, and the ugly.
I just transferred a whole group of on-site hospital MTs to a MTSO (I'm currently a recruiter). The money they made was amazing, and was killing the hospital. They all now work for a national.
On the flip side, I just went back to work for a hospital as an MT, the job was advertised recently on an MT board. Great bennies, I know the docs already as it is a local account, great pay. They were once with two major national MTSOs, decided they could do a better job themselves...and from what I've seen, I'm sure they do.
Good, bad or UGLY
Geez guys, I see no work, slow work, and when there is work - "it's bad". What does it take to make you people happy???????
ugly names
I used to work with a woman named GayDonna -- yes, that was her REAL name!!!
What is up with that lately. It sounds so ugly!
lol
Good, bad, ugly...
I've worked for several MT companies and have seen "it all" (no flames, I'm sure there are MTs here who have been working longer than I've been breathing). Anyway, have seen MDs who dictate every few words and expect us to fill in the blanks, had MDs who question in the beginning of the report "I wonder how many days until I get this job back, they must type them on the moon or something" etc.... Then there are the gems out there too, ie "I'm sure you can tell I'm dictating from my car, first of all sorry about that, but I'm on my way to a Steelers game, I sure hope you like the Steelers" As with any profession "Takes all kinds" :)
Star Jones gets even more ugly
Butt ugly comes to mind! LOL...nm

Precyse. Good, bad, ugly?
thanks!
Kinda ugly?...she's scary looking...
She's way too young to have had all that work done. My guess is it was a mistake when it said Kat's family and friends... apparently she doesn't have anyone except her parents and grandma!

Platforms - the good, bad, and the ugly!
Would like to know what platforms are user-friendly and which ones slow you down. Currently working on one that slooooows me down so much!!!
Well, Gretchen, I'm old and ugly, but agree...sm
Rude, cruel, insulting people definitely eat roadkill. Best to blow them off. :D :D
Its not that I'm worried about bidding, but if the seller is ugly in
response to neutral or negative feedback I don't wan to deal with them, I don't care if they have a 99% rating. Sure there may be hundreds of positives, but it is their response that I'm looking for to see if I want to deal with this person/company.
