Opening any of this person's mail

Posted By: IS breaking the law. on 2006-02-22
In Reply to: Reason to change your address if you move - diddles

If you do any of the things you mentioned, you will have broken the law.  It is against federal statutes to open someone else's mail, even if it was placed in YOUR mailbox.

Request that they place a stop payment on the check, reissue, and mail priority or overnight mail
If they refuse or invent unbelievable excuses, you'll know you have a problem. If MY check was a week late, there are many months I would be in deep trouble.
I realize checks occasionally do get lost in the mail. If they are 100% sure it was mailed, then they shouldn't mind issuing another.

Be firm and be persistent.

In every company I have worked for that pays via mail, they mail the checks on payday. sm
Depending on the distance you can get them anywhere from 3-8 days later. Right now one takes 3 days, the other 3-5.

I saw a job opening for mt at
a women's state prison in California.  They didn't require that much experience, pay and benefits were excellent.  It was too far from where I lived and I didn't know if I would like the environment.   Prisoner 






Wow! This is eye-opening

You two have really given me some thought-provoking info.


I had no idea it was this bad.  That is a hellish training period for such a pathetic salary.  Exactly the opposite of what I've been reading.  The websites I read from truly did quote up to $40. per hour, computer equipment given to you and a growing field, not shrinking!


Yes, I do work for slave wages, but I have a mortgage to pay and student loans and I am a single woman so I have to find something.  Maybe a paper route . . .


Thanks for the info!


They might be having an opening soon.

I am opening up a transcription (sm)
business myself. I am fed up with the hospitals who are going voice recognition and are using a digital system for attendings, so I decided why not!! Another MT and I are do this and hopefully we will be successful. I am going in with someone on the computer end as well.
did you try opening the file?
If so, what did the instruction say?  Do you have to open it with a special program?  Is this a wav file?  If not, what type of file is this (it will say at the end of the document/file name)?
That's an eye-opening article -
and scary, too.  My MTSO was just taken over by Acusis......... 
Still not opening at all for me. I emailed

This is eye opening information and I will be

looking into more IRS laws.  This is VERY interesting as the company I work for does not pay my taxes but dictates hours, etc.  They also have violated HIPAA regulations and I will be inquiring as to what actions can be taken there.


Thanks for enlightening me. 


My mail carrier just informed me that the mail is sorted by
prisoners as part of their work.  Now do you feel safer and more secure?  
Block her E-mail, return mail unopened

On AOL I can determine who I want to receive mail from and block those I do not  -- and if they are blocked  they get their E-mail back as being "undeliverable".  If she sends things out -- send back --unaccepted.  But to be simple just E-mail her back or call the recuriter if you don't want to deal with her directly and state -- leave me alone.  If she is in another state you should not be scared of her but you may simply have to put it out there in no uncertain terms.


Opening up Pandora's box of wine
Hey Patti, it's ok to talk about drinking and transcribing. People react strongly because it hits a raw nerve. It's a topic that is kept in the dark. I suspect many transcriptionists do and have drank at the desk. I myself have had a small glass of wine on occasion when I have been so stressed out, like when I have been given a 30-day notice that my work is going to India! Or my foreign-accented dictator yells at me for something stupid! I venture to say that perhaps more transcriptionists have a glass or two of liquor toward the end of their shift than they would care to admit. I just think you got such a response because it is a topic most transcriptionists have thought about in one way or another. I'm not saying it is ok or it is morally wrong. It does happen though.
Opening of her broadway show
It was the opening of her broadway show, The Color Purple that Letterman escorted her to.  However, I dont like Oprah, never have.  The fawning and oohing and ahhing was quite sickening, if you ask me.
Try opening the normal.dot and see if you can change it there. sm
Hide spelling/grammar errors in this document only affects the current document. Another place to look is the Language setting on the Tools menu. You may have it set to not check spelling.
I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
Austin Radiological -- how did you hear about the job opening? nm

Try opening up ShortHand before log in. Works with other systems like that. nm

I think it is some of the emoticons, but maybe only the first instance of them opening or posting.

I worked in a hospital in radiology, and when an opening in MR was available SM
I applied, got the job, and that is how I got my foot in the door.
Your opening statement about our President is disrespectful.

Whether or not you like him, he is still the President and that office should be respected. Unfortunately, your statement is reflective of the mindset and mentality of many in our country. And people have to ask why the rest of the world doesn't like us--we don't even like each other.


At the very least you should be respectful of those in positions of authority. It's modeling of appropriate behavior that our children see and emulate themselves.


Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is

if that is all they WANT to type.   Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?


You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones.   Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between. 


sorry, not in Kansas. PA is where I heard of a good job opening (near pittsburgh)

Look through the Help section in it and just start opening up all the tabs and playing

please, need help with startstop opening windows sound recorder.

When I open a file from within startstop, it wants to open windows sound recorder, and then it wants to open a file located somewhere else on my hard drive.


Sometimes it will open the file I want to listen to, and the windows sound recorder flashes on the screen a couple of times.


Is anyone having that problem? I've emailed and called startstop but no response to email and no return call from startstop tech support.


 Any info you have is greatly appreciated. I'm on version 9.8.7


When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.

I'm getting e-mail and personal mail from MQ regarding changes
and lawsuits.   What's up with MQ?  Any speculation?  My mail is general and not specific to my office.  Think things are coming to a head with the lawsuits and MQ is trying to play nice?
One person's "custom" is another person's
"house arrest". I'd never go to the Middle East because of how they treat women. I don't agree with their laws or "justice" system. For example, the woman who was gang raped as punishment for the actions of her 12-year-old brother, a boy who wasn't even an adult. How's that for a "custom"? Let's not forget bride burning. Burqas.

Besides, foreigners don't follow our "customs" when they come to this country. Half of them don't even bother learning English. Instead, we're expected to pay for healthcare and foodstamps for illegals and print everything in Spanish.

I won't be oppressed or treated as a second class citizen, and I wouldn't treat others like that either. A "custom" is more like putting up a Christmas tree, not being abused based on your gender.
i'm sure it will vary from person to person.
I recently did the same thing and am loving it! The freedom from time clocks, the better company, make losing the benefits well worth it to me. You need to set up a plan to have $ set aside for taxes though. I should have done this years ago!
Wrong person. I'm not the person you were
any money.  You have a sucky attitude, a "poor me" attitude.  Get off your lazy whiny a$$ and work instead of complaining and you will make money.  I have one account at 10.5 cpl, two at 14 cpl and one at 15 cpl.  I make a lot of money, even on the 10.5 cpl.  But I'm not sitting around whining either.  And I didn't whine when I made $6 an hour.
Definitely an eye-opening read. Having my teens read it, too. nm

MQ mail
I got it to work but it takes forever to get into your email box and send anything.  I got into my box yesterday..slow..slow.slow..Today I got in and tried to send an email to my Transcription Coordinator and two times it would not go through, finally the third time it did..I dont know why they changed the system..maybe some techs needed something new to do so they made a new project to change the email system.  If they dont fix it, it is a disaster..Hopefully today, the first day, will be just fixing the minor things and we will proceed from there..Its always something with this company ya know??  No work, but you better let them know your schedule, cant even get through on email..Grrrrrrrr..
MQ E-mail
I am just giving up.  I get it and try to keep it open so I can check it but it won't stay opened.  I am going to check it once a day.  If they want me, they can phone.
E mail I mail
I wonder if we can just communicate with work people with our private E-mail instead of this system.
MQ I-Mail.

I can't get past the login screen.  It says "Welcome!" then throws me back to the login screen.  I see they have a message that says "You can still send messages to your contacts through your Outlook or Outlook Express."  Wrong.  Can't do that, either.  Have been on hold to Atlanta for over 1/2 hour.  Whose idea was this??


MQ Mail

Log in using your I-mail address and your password.  I-mail address should be your MQ name (?)__@medquistmail.com.  Password.  You get into a screen that apologizes etc.  Hit continue. 


If you forgot anything there is a box that should allow you to retrieve password. 


If all else fails, call tech support and they will walk you through it as I did the first time using it at 1-800-342-8283.  They can help you specifically for I-mail problems.
