In Reply to: YES IT IS OWNED BY A PAKISTANI DOCTOR. HE OR - me

At least he's not on a power trip...yet. By the way...if you hate it soooooo much, why are you sticking around to post over and over and over how we shouldn't post?

    I'd stay if they weren't deleting posts worse than the other ever did
    I thought they deleted without cause before.. this is crazy.
    You can replace the 2007 Normal.dotm with your old normal.dot file. sm
    Open the old normal.dot in Word and save as the new file format.

    The easy way is to load the oldest version first and then upgrade.

    I'm completely normal and met my normal husband online. sm
    I also met casual dates online (read: real social dates, NOT sex hookups), and all were completely normal. I wasn't meeting who I wanted to meet in the other traditional ways (church, through friends, at work, etc) so I looked online and found someone whose sense of humor shined through in his writing, and that is who I eventually married after 2+ years of traditional dating. We are both college grads, gainfully employed, financially stable, non-perverted, normal people. BUT, I did have to sort through a LOT of personal ads, as there are certainly plenty of oddballs out there, as well, just like in the outside world. :-)
    deleting
    That's what I would do. At the point where the doctor said, "delete this," I'd type those words in and turn it in for line count, and then I'd start another report for the next one.
    Not sure what you are looking for. Deleting cookies
    should take about 30 seconds. 
    Deleting files from FTP server

    The company I work for uses an FTP server.  I am supposed to delete the files I pull after I upload them so another MT wont do them.  No matter what I try I cannot get the files to delete. When I right click on them, there is no option to delete in the drop-down.  I have also tried highlighting the file(s) and pressing delete on my computer.  Neither one of these works.  These are the 2 ways my QA said to do it, but it just wont work.  Any suggestions?


    Thanks :)


    deleting bookmarks/favorites
    Since I downloaded Windows SP3 I am unable to delete my bookmarks, just get a message that indicates bookmark error, failure to delete.  Searched Google but no good help.  Any ideas anyone?
    How insulting, I wonder which national he is with, SM
    I remember someone saying MQ's CEO called MTs "trained monkeys", but this article didn't specify which company.

    I'm not suprised by any of this BTW.
    Right, and the moderator apologized for deleting it, so neener.

    deleting words from word dictionary
    Hi there.  Does anyone know how to delete words from Word 2000 that I haven't added.  They have words like wit in there and I would like to access their dictionary and get rid of some of them as I make common errors of some words.  Thanks for any help.
    Deleting Bytescribe wav files (just recycle bin?)

    Not much action on the Tech Board so I'm pasting my question here:    Bytescribe people told me that once you delete the wav files (Options/Clear File History), it only deletes them from the player but not from your hard drive.  I did a search for .wav files on my computer but none of those BS wav files come up, other than in the recycle bin.  Is that the only place they would wind up after deleting them from the player then and am I done with them for good at the Recycle Bin? Thanks in advance for anyone who can help with this.  (I still cannot believe the tech did not know where the files wound up.) 


    Microsoft Works - deleting template
    Can anyone tell me how to delete a template in Microsoft Works.  I have tried to drag it to the trash, I have looked in file after file and cannot seem to locate it within a file.  Any help with this would be appreciated!  I have a feeling that it is in a file within a file or something but just don't know where else to look for it.
    Help w/ Edit Script & deleting MS Works

    Sorry, I accidently posted this on the company board first. So please don't hate me.


    I have done everything I can think of to get MS Works off my computer. It has been uninstalled, registries have been cleared and I ran a search to see if anything was left. Nothing left. But everytime I try to download EditScript it says it is still detecting it! Where could it be? Where is it finding it! I am so frustrated. If you have ANY idea of what to do please let me know!


    Express Scribe auto deleting 0 second..
    My Express Scribe is auto deleting voice file that are 0 seconds long.  I need to still keep track of those.  Anyone know how to make it stop doing that?
    Have to post this because I think its both funny AND insulting - sm

    This was posted on GURU.com - it's a job up for bidding.  But read carefully and look at all the EXPECTATIONS this person has .... for $20/audio hour.


     


    Description:
    I am looking for several Document Production Specialists to start ASAP.

    Requirements:

    *  At least two years of transcription experience
    *  Excellent spelling, grammar, punctuation
    *  Extensive vocabulary
    *  Medical, legal, and general business terminology
    *  Ability to research
    *  Excellent listening and comprehension skills
    *  Detail oriented
    *  Ability to follow simple instructions
    *  "Just do it" attitude
    *  Professional attitude, communication skills and work habits
    *  Express Scribe software and foot pedal
    *  Microsoft Word
    *  Committed to providing a quality work product

    Let me emphasize that this is not a simple typing job.  If you have
    fast and accurate typing skills, good, but that's not enough.  I have
    extremely high standards and you must be able to meet these high standards.   

    ***If you cannot complete one hour of transcription and provide a
    PERFECT transcript within 24 hours, please do not bid.*** 

    It is very important that you be able to work without advance notice
    and without distractions.  If you cannot do this, please do not bid.

    It is also very important that you be able to take the ball and run
    with it and not ask a lot of questions.  If you need a lot of
    hand-holding, please do not bid.    

    If you get frustrated easily and cannot handle challenging
    transcription work, DO NOT bid. 

    For those of you who want super-easy work for tons of money, DO NOT
    bid.

    I need for you to indicate your days and hours of availability.  These
    days and hours should NOT be flexible.  These should be the days and
    times that you are ALWAYS available to work.  You will be receiving jobs
    during these days and hours without advance notice and you are expected
    to do them, no excuses.

    Please don't ask me if work is available.  When work is available, I
    will send it to you during the days/hours you have specified.

    If you are a serious professional, confident about your abilities, take
    a great deal of pride in your work, and don't mind working for a fair
    but demanding boss, please bid PER AUDIO HOUR.  Keep in mind, however,
    that you will not be paid more than $20 per audio hour to start.


     


     


    I responded in a polite way, stating that I do not know of anyone that would take work on a MOMENT'S NOTICE, turn it around in 3-5 hours for the total cost of $20.  I got the nastiest response back .... "Well guess what?  I've had bids for $10 and $25.  So there." 


     


    What do you all think? 


    That's an insulting offer for someone with experience. Please keep looking. nm
    s
    What a joke! Not only is that insulting, listening to that would put me right to

    SLEEP!


    As can the looking up of addresses, names for the copies, deleting stuff that's not used on the
    s
    deleting cookies-go to TOOLS, internet options

    Once you get to internet options from TOOLS at the top of your browser, you have a radio button to delete cookies, one to delete history, one to delete online files and then offline files - that is how you delete the cookies AND the cache/memory/history.


    Is that what you need to know?  Hope that helped!! 


    normal? Normal means you have a.....S/M

    There is no *normal* in this life..........


    There ARE conformists and nonconformists but normal doesn't exist. Sorry. 


    You must have a preconceived idea of what *sanity* is, eh?  *lol*


    It supposed to be so insulting to be called the "R" word.
    Only whites are accused of being racists but listen to some of the music you hear on MTV, listen to Jesse Jackson and AL Sharpton. Are they racists? Darned right they are! The only difference is that it's somehow become socially acceptable for them to be, but not for Caucasians. We're supposed to feel guilty for whatever is wrong in minority people's lives. Well, we're not. Life is what you make it. If your life sucks, whatever color or nationality you are, fix it or shut up about it.
    That is the most insulting, bigoted statement about homosexuals...
    I have ever seen on this board. How dare you cram your narrow-minded, hateful, ignorant garbage down our throats when we read your thread in good faith that you had a brain. Shame on you.
    response to your insulting post on consulting

     Wanting to start out with a consultant is called being prepared and nothing to do with my capabiilty of handling a business.  both are very two different entitities. Its like operating any other business to get started.  If it was not true there would not be any consultants out there.  both of you might have started 20 years by the sounds of your posts and it sounds like you might have hit it lucky getting by without contracts.  I would rather be safe than sorry but more power to you.  I guess it makes you feel "superior."


    My post was NOT NOT INSULTING. I just wanted to get some answers
    YES HE OR SHE IS ON A POWER TRIP if they keep deleting my questions. Why are THEY AFRAID to answer who owns this company. I will stick around until I get a satisfactory answer. I never said I HATED THIS SITE. Where did you get that from? I am not telling YOU how to post either. So again, ONLY WANT TO KNOW WHO OWNS THIS COMPANY. SIMPLE, SIMPLE QUESTION. NOT an insult.
    I just posted a response here and WHY was it deleted? It was not insulting
    I was just asking why everyone seems to be so unkind as this person does and just asked for moderators. The nasty posts should be deleted, not questions pertaining to that. Makes no sense to me.
    Anyone else offended or insulted to be offered 6-7 cpl? Or is it just me or finds this insulting.
    Is this how bad it is that now this is the going rate?? I get sick to my stomach just thinking about it. I need a career change.
    The should've just saved the stamp as it would have been less insulting to receive
    x
    Please explain what was snippy, rude, arrogant, or insulting in her post.
    Sorry, but that's the attitude YOU put forward.  You're the one ranting about not being able to find quality MTs.  You use the same nickname and the same style as someone who posted the same topic a few days ago.  I think you knew that would incite a riot.  Maybe the MTs should start an MTSO bashing post and explain the real reason some MTSOs can't find decent MTs.  You reap what you sow.  If you're only offering newbie rates, you're only going to get newbie applicants.  Maybe it's YOU that is the reason you can't find quality MTs.
    Yeah, okay. Don't share your views and opinions. Just be insulting, that's helpful. SM
    You do realize that your profession is about more than just you.  We are all MTs.  What is going on in our profession affects us all.  It's not just about you or me.
    Way friggin' insulting!! Or getting a job at a higher rate & finding a newbie

    Just do a search and read the posts. There are plenty of posts about OSI on this board. nm.

    Good choice. Appauling, insulting, and every other neg. MT word ya can think of. Holy Smokes. Grant

    Advice to YOU..1st learn to spell before insulting poster and trying to give advice...sm

    Um have you read any of your posts and the other posts? I think everyone DOES believe me..you

    Not normal
    Actually, I love my company.  It's just that every year after the 4th it seems to slow down for a short time.  That's all.  I have been with many companies that this has happened at, small and large.  This is the best company and best pay that I've had. 
    No I get normal...
    That must be a different account they have many accounts I do a VA account
    8-10 u/l is normal nm
    .
    Yes - CT and MRI, all normal. Dx as

    It's normal, like my mom used to say. . . sm

    "In order to remember something new, I have to forget something old."


    Truth is, you may be able to remember the pair of ice skates you got for Christmas when you were six, but you don't remember to buy milk for 2 days in a row.


    My mom always said that her "brain was full of useless information." 


     


    Is this really normal?
    I've been with my current national for a year now, and I'm burnt out.  I do acute care work, struggle with lots of ESLs, and work on several different accounts.  For the past 6 months or so, work has been very low on my primary, and I bounce around from account to account, and I only work part-time.  I hate that.  I wish I had a primary that kept me busy and only in rare instances would I have to work on my secondary or tertiary and so on.  Instead, I may work on 4 different accounts in one day just to get in 500 lines, and of course it takes me longer to do that on accounts other than my primary because those accounts have a lot more doctors.  Getting the same ones isn't a daily occurrence, and if you do, they're the difficult dictators.  Is this normal?  It's hard for me to shop around and look for a better national to work for because I don't have high-speed internet access, and some not only want high-speed access, but they also are very specific about what type you need to work for them.  I feel stuck, but I am grateful to have a job and that it's not flipping burgers or working in retail.  Been there, done that....in my youth.
    it can be normal, but what is normal?
    and it is definitely frustrating, being bounced around. It would slow anybody way down. As far as burn-out -- take more or longer breaks maybe. Exercise inbetween -- walks do wonders for state of mind...maybe try talking to your supe, to see if you could be put on a primary that would have enough work to keep you on IT. Sometimes changing your work hours improves the work flow too, ie, evening shift, weekends... hang in there, as my mom used to say, "the only thing constant is change".

    anyone know how to add a normal
    tyty!
    You are A-OK and quite normal, actually.
    You know, it took me at least 2 years to realize there is nothing wrong with me, as I started to wonder what you are wondering now. I spent 2 years blaming myself, but realized it is just part of getting older. I think it is actually a good thing, because we are not losing focus at all, rather I believe we are probably concentrating more on quality. I know before even in midcareer I did not have much of a tolerance for even commas, I cared about the line count. Now, I actually care about the commas, and the patient care. Plus, I care about my family, my mental well being, as well as the bills. I used to put the bills first and the patient second, and I was single. So, now I accept who I am, what stage of life I am in. The line count seems to be coming back. For the last couple of years when I felt burnt out and blamed myself, I could not do anything to get that line count up, more I blamed myself, more the line count went down. Now, I accept that I have to treat this job differently, accept who I am, and although I won't probably ever get 3K lines a day, and I am happy even half of that, seems like life is easier.
    You are quite welcome, and you are not losing your mind. I just hope you don't blame yourself and celebrate your life and your maturity! Good luck :)
    Normal sm
    Congratulations, you have reached the Twilight Zone. It is normal for those of us who do it, to not remember typing things up and say, "Wow, that's interesting." I think it's normal, anyone else have a humble opinion?
    Is this normal pay?
    Where in the heck can you make $11.50 in fast food?
    That sounded all normal to me. And SM
    remember that the day after Christmas there won't be much work anywhere.
    If being gay was normal, the population would die out soon
    The one thing nobody has mentioned is that gays cannot reproduce-- they have to recruit, so if it was a normal thing, they, too, would be able to reproduce. Whatever your thoughts and feelings, you will have to answer for your lifestyle someday---.
    These are all normal things for me as well.
    If I were you, I'd change what I'm doing immediately to what she is requesting as these adhere to all MT rules that I am aware of.
    What is your average TAT for being an IC. Is this normal....

    I am just wondering what is the average TAT for some of you that are independent contractors.  I have an account that has a very short TAT and it is clinic work.  I have an average TAT of like 6-7 hours.  If it is not turned in at that exact time, I get an email saying that the work needs to be sent over.  Is that normal?  Also I haven't gotten a raise in three years.  I get about 6.5 cents per gross line (no matter now much or little is on the line). I have been with this company for five years.  I just need some advise here.  I am told by my husband constantly that I need to just completely move on, but I like the work because it is easy. 


    How much support is normal?

    The company I am with is pushing hard for MTs to go from clinic and ER notes to acute care.  After 4 years, I feel like I am ready for this but this company offers extremely little in the way of samples, maybe 2 or 3 on some of the toughest authors; no way to review reports that have been sent for editing, and no way to communicate with others working in your accounts.


    I have the basic format of the work down but the authors can be very tough to learn with no feeback.  There also does not seem to be any kind of raise involved, so if I can do 250 LPH doing clinic notes why struggle through that with a company that does not seem real inclined to help?  For those who do acute care, do you prefer it or do you do it for more money?


    RE: How much support is normal?
    Do you not want to increase your knowledge/transcription skills? Do you not want to increase your employability? A good Transcriptionist seeks to broaden their base of knowledge and experience in all medical specialities, not just a few. It is not all about money, providing a service (ultimately to the patient) is one of my impressions of being a "good/great" transciptionist.
