I wish I had a way to find out if Needsomeone2listen is following up on these.

passing through -
I say go for it passing through! There are men willing to pay $$$ for MIL* cam ladies! :)

I know what you mean Hayseed. Sometimes I get out and am driving and suddenly remember there is a whole world outisde my apartment! :)
Thanks for passing that on.

passing along a recommendation

My husband learned from an associate of a program called Ewido, that is supposed to beat the pants off all other spyware products. I tried it against others on my system:  Spy Sweeper, Spy Bot, and Spy Blaster. Ran all three first and then put Ewido through the paces. Ewido still found 7 more infected areas before it removed them.

You can try the product for free before you purchase it ($30). For anyone who is interested:   http://www.ewido.net/en/


I tried to get an MT job but even with passing the test
I had some real problems. I could not keep up with the volume. I had no one to help me with new words or even how to reasearch them. I sent stuff to QA but no one at QA ever told me what I was doing wrong so I ended up making many mistakes over and over again. Even though I had excellent training, I did not know how to run the software the company uesd and many other details. I failed miserably. My best friend however did take an internship and it was at 3 cents per line. It was a very nice MT service owner who basicallyu took her under wing and she learned tons of stuff. The lady worked with her and taught her a bunch of things that I wished I could have learned to stay alive in the field. She also got raises every few months so at the end of ayear and a half she was making 5.5 cents and had great production because she knew the dictators so well. By the time her two yeras is up, she will have the two years experience and be able to choose any job she can. So I guess I wish I could have had a chancd like that. I am still looking for the place that will hire me.
this is merely a passing phase...nm

thx for passing that on--awesome! (nm)

It feels like life is passing me by sometimes. All alone here. I
I just joined a gym. Where are MTs who quit the smokes? I just did too! I want to sail into my 50s without knowing what it likes to have chest pain! I have had it with my fat jiggly arms. I'm going to start living cuz if feels like this is the opposite of it.

Oh dear, I vented. Sorry!! Just had to say that to someone! Thanks for being an ear :o)
Passing through may have the wrong place...

I have been there for several months now and never been paid late.  The quality of the work I have been assigned is excellent, no ESL and no hassel about working for a line count instead of hours.   The benefits are acceptable.  I did have one friend who they hired who seemed to have not good luck with their program and she had to quit.  Overall I would give them a 4 on a scale of 1 to 5 and expect to be with them until something better comes along.  


I don't care either way. I'm not passing judgment.
I don't care who's gay or who reads the Bible. I'm not preaching or Bible-thumping, as your dander up implies that I am evidently. I just thought it silly that the other poster said a man married another man so as not to live in sin when the Bible states that homosexuality is a sin. It's not a debate or a judgment call. Stop taking it personally and see the humor in the other post. It's ironic. Geez, make an observation and get an invitation to debate religion. No, thanks!
Makes me wonder how the MTs in India are passing.
Do they get *minority* points!?! LOL.
Long time passing..nm

Extremely welcome, Anon. Just passing it on like much came from others. nm

I have several years experience and do okay passing tests....
Sometimes it just feels like I get passed up for jobs because I have no schooling.
Sort of like passing your driving test and knowing. . .

That you'll never have to take it again!


Well, at least until you're 80.


Yes, I work 80-90 hours a week. I am going to stop because life is passing me by and it has caused
depression. There is no way mentally or physically you can keep up the pace. It is finally getting to me and I now realize there are more important things in life than work.  I have been a workaholic all of my life. It started as an escape to a bad marriage but I ended up missing my kids grow up, I've lost friends because I have no time for them, and this is my last chance with an 8-year-old child left at home to get it right and put my family first. It means giving up a lot of "material things" but what do they matter when all you need is the love of your family. I'd never recommend this to anyone.
Thank you. I appreciate the information ...
sounds like a way to reward those whose production and quality are at the top.

Thanks.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
but, with a much better company and I smell management. Take that and smoke it.
Perhaps this information might help:
If you would post a clear statement of the change that is happening and what its expected results will be BEFORE you make such changes, then it wouldn't be viewed so suspiciously.
rec'd no such information
and my count has been 'below production' different times and my benefits didn't change. My supe told me way back when that only if a person "consistently" didn't make production would it affect their benefits.
Where did you get your information? nm.
nm.
information
i mentioned something to my supervisor a couple of weeks ago that I "heard" that MQ was offering extra on the line rates to new hires, which upset me, and of course, her response was you can't trust what you hear or see and I know that, but it seems like what i'm seeing on this website seems to be more reliable in some respects than what i get from MQ and like you said, that's really sad. I'm not signed up for IPay so i can't check to see if there's anything there -- guess i could check my bank to see if there's more there.
For your information,
I am not at all overweight. I would really like to know why someone who is as beautiful as you say you are is a transcriptionist?
Information (SM)
If you want to know why your posts are deleted, leave a valid e-mail address. I e-mail the poster why and a copy of their deleted post.

It is not because you have "MQ" in your moniker as a name. Otherwise, take this gripe over your posts being removed to e-mail or it will be deleted.
Don't know where you got your information-
Although a CMA is definitely not a PA, I do not know anywhere you get get what you need in 4-6 weeks.  I took the CMA exam after years working in a physician's office, but the programs that I know about in this area are 1-2 years.
Any information on this anyone?

My husband came home from work hearing about something called EDTA (Ethylene~Diamine~Tetra-acetic~Acid).  It is suppose to break down the minerals and heavy metals out of your body and make your risk of heart disease a lot lower.  Does anyone have an information on this.  He would like to take it if it true because of heart disease in his family, although I am not certain he should, as I always worry about the things they don't tell you about the stuff your taking.   


Any information would be great.


Thanks!!


Thanks for the information!!!

Thanks to all for the information.

Thanks for the information.

Thanks so much for the information...sm
Final question - I checked out the website that you told me about and that explains it all.  One final question - do you have connection problems with this and I guess one more question, and the true final question is the quality of the voice good on the file?  Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate the information. nm

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the information
Thanks to all of you for the helpful information!
Thanks for that information

That is very interesting about the files not being there at all. May be I am not getting the files downloaded correctly.    Thanks so much for your help!


Thanks so much for the information!!
:)
where does that information come from?
please give links. I found nothing to substantiate that on my search
Thanks, that is quite useful information, but
you do not continue to believe that air conditioning will kill mold . . . it will not, and nowhere in the document you linked to does it even suggest that. It does provide information about air conditioning lowering the relative humidity of a home, and also that it aids in drying out wet areas (because it lowers the relative humidity).

You are not only misinformed, but also are misinforming others by posting segments of the document that are not connected in any other way than being a part of the same document.

For anyone who is interested, and perhaps does not want to go to the link or read the full text, this is what it actually says.

PREVENTING MOLD GROWTH (begins on page 2)

Page 3, paragraphs 4 and 5

Increase the air flow in problem areas. Move furniture
a few inches away from outside walls so that air
flow will decrease the problem of condensation on
the walls.

If mold is growing in closets, keep closet doors
open to promote air flow. Closets should not be overfilled,as this will reduce air circulation in the closet. Louvered closet doors aid in ventilation. Circulating fans may help with air flow in problem areas.


STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTING OR
REMOVING MOLD GROWTH AFTER CONTAMINATION (begins on page 3)


Page 4, paragraph 3


For many hard surfaces, disinfecting with a solution
of one cup of bleach to one gallon of water is effective.
The area must be kept wet with the bleach for 10 to 15
minutes to kill the mold. If the surface is porous like
wood, the bleach solution may need to be reapplied to
keep the surface wet for the required time. If large areas
of a basement need to be disinfected, a garden sprayer
can be used to apply the bleach solution to the walls. If the walls have been contaminated with sewage, increase the proportion of bleach to water.

MT Information
Hello, I am looking to start working as an MT in order to enable me to homeschool.  Can you please share any tips, job openings etc?? I would really appreciate it.  I am newly relocated to Lawrenceville GA from NJ.  Thanks!!
Need som information..

I would like to start doing things in my own area, get my accounts, etc.  I just do not know where to start.  Do I type up an "introductory" letter and send them to doc offices?  What kind of equipment is the easiest to do this "internet based?"  I have A LOT of questions.  If someone could email me, I would really appreciate it!! 


 


Thanks 


More information....SM

I don't mean a financial deduction.  I'm just trying to figure out a percentage score.  Here's the details.


The document is 40,178 characters.


There were two critical errors (word left out and wrong dose) and seven noncritical errors (like his instead of has, a instead of an, etc.)


How could I figure a percentage?


thank you for this information
I have been struggling with this decision and your info makes it easier for me to stick with XP. Why mess with a good thing?
Too much information
The doctor just dictated the patient became pregnant on her wedding night.  Not something I really needed to know.  LOL.
Where did this information come from?? nm

More information.

This program can be set to automatically download files from FTP sites or folders on the computer's hard drive; it's just that you have to do it manually, whereas some of the "more automated programs" came with these things already set up. I use ES for all transcription playback and haven't needed the pricer automation.


As with most opinions, they are subjective, but happy for the discourse.


Just for your information....
There was no lack of willingness to fill anybody in about anything. I was going to tell her everything from top to bottom about the account, what I was looking for and find out what she was looking for so as to make a perfect fit. She was not "signing her life away" either. I am only looking for 2-3 hours per day and the time you complete the work is totally up to you. As far as being miserable to work for, I haven't had anyone work for me before because I have been the only person in my business, doing hospital account along with IC positions. I don't have to offer more cpl to get anyone to work for me. In fact, I could just keep all of it for myself, but because I try to keep my clients happy I am needing to get another person on-board so as to keep TAT within reason. As far as I'm concerned this discussion can be locked. I can't believe the hateful and bitchy remarks made to a totally innocent inquiry. As I haven't had to go through the hiring process before, I was wondering if this was the norm, that you get people like this when you interview. After all of this, I think I will just continue to do all the work myself. There will be less headaches for all involved and more money for me in the long-run. So all of you who had a problem with a simple inquiry, go back to your little holes and be happy. I've got work to do!
Thanks for the information...nm

Exactly where are you getting this information?
LOL - "all other countries?"

Source, please.

Why can't Americans dispense with some of their arrogance and try harder to understand/be understood?

I have NO problem with ESLs in general because they oftern try harder to be understood than American mumblers/speeders.


You have old information.

MT Information
Treasia,
I graduated from a MT course in 06. It was a nine month course and I found it very helpful. I would think with your knowledge you would only need a Med.Term class for refreshers. (Which you probably do not need,but almost everyone wants). I also feel I should mention, which is something that I wish someone would have told me starting off,
MOST PLACES REQUIRE 2 YEARS BEFORE THEY ALLOW YOU TO WORK FROM HOME.

The college I would recommend is Indian Hills Community College, in Ottumwa Iowa. They offer all classes for this program online. They have a great set up and for all the interviews I have been on most of the employers comment on how great the classes were and sometimes they even went above and beyond what was required. Hope this helps and good luck to you.
Thank you for this information -

Thank you so, so much.  This is actually going to help me, too, on another project I am doing on my home computer.  I just happened to read the post.  I went to the website, and it looks like it is perfect!  It works with all window applications. 


All the best -


For your information,

"your" s/b spelled "you're!"


Second of all, I did not complain about every post! There are very supportive and positive people here, and you are NOT one of them! Once again, you are not even addressing the real issues here! If you don't have anything positive to say, then go away! Wow! I think there is less hostility in Iraq right now, than on this board!


Go away negative/unsupportive posters! We don't need you here! Helpful info only welcome!


Information for

becoming an editor. We may be going to powerscribe and I want to get as much education to prepare for this transaction if it takes place. Does anyone have any information or great websites or even books to help me prepare for this?


Any and all information would be great. Thanks


Have you gotten information on this yet?
