So we should assume you grow all of your own food? sm

Do you grow all of your own food, raise your own cattle and chickens, and raise your own sheep, which you then shave yourself and use the wool to make your own clothing? Because even if you're walking to the store, you're still supporting gas-driven machinery. How do you think all of those supplies get to the store? On the back of someone's bicycle?

Food stamps, WIC, food banks, churches, family...
There are many answers to that problem.
No one has the right to steal and writing a dishonorable check is stealing. It is called "theft of property".
My tax dollars support government programs to prevent people from going hungry and to provide for women, infants, and children. I make donations to food banks and churches, etc., for those who just need help as well.
Food for the staff and doctors, if you can afford it. Food is always a big hit in a doctor's off
One of the biggest perks I can remember when I worked in a doctor's office was when the drug reps or orthopedic equipment reps would cater lunch for the whole office just so they could meet with the docs. The whole office would get so jazzed at the idea of free lunch.
If you can't afford to cater lunch, then I would do something like a muffin basket and bagels always go over well. But food is your best bet.
Really???? I miss 'burgh food. Philly food is okay, but it

The food is resturant quality food and very good

Why don't you grow up
and while you are at it, go take a shower and do your hair for once in your life and put make up on. It will do you good to look presentable for once.
Enough already...come on, grow up!
Why do you even waste space slinging insults?
Grow up
How disgusting. Because this lady hit the nail on the head, you have to reply with a personal attack. Go look in the mirror.
Can we say GROW UP???

Grow up...nm

Grow up already
If you can't "bring yourself" to type a sequence of letters that form a word -no matter how offensive - you are in the wrong field.
and yes, there are legal implications. Verbatim meanst verbatim.
just grow with it
i know its hard. but try to set the fear aside. You are still there, so they must plan to keep you (3 months is the usual probation period). Just do the best you can. Conquer this obstacle and then you can decide if it is what you want to keep doing or not. I still regret quitting something i was pursuing decades ago, that i quit out of fear. If you quit, make it for the right reasons, not because you were afraid of not making it, or afraid of your boss. Believe me, if I can do this, so can you (I flunked my first transcription course). I'm an MT now for 30+ years.
Why Don't You Grow Up?
Your posts are getting tedious, not to mention very boring.
i grow strawberries,
in the garden; what i do with them may not work for store-bought ones -- don't know. But when i bring them in, i rinse them and let dry in a collander. I hull them and if there are any too soft or bad spots, carve them out, then put them in a bowel, cover with seran wrap and leave in frig. I don't think i've ever had them go moldy. If you freeze them, they freeze better if they are sliced, but they freeze whole pretty well too.
grow up ladies
Don't you get tired of the cat fighting? It isn't any wonder you don't produce any lines.
Grow up? How about you wise up?
So, you mean to tell me that having 1 or 2 glasses of wine or beers is enough to call someone drunk? Come on and WISE UP!
Again, I didn't ask WHO GETS DRUNK AND TRANSCRIBES, I asked who has a few drinks while transcribing.
Being in the vicinity of MY OWN HOME having a drink or TWO and transcribing is no big deal to me. Some of you people are SO UPTIGHT and I think NEED TO DRINK!
HICCUP, pardon me!
grow up........*shrugs*............nm

It has to grow back a little to wax or to use any other
only way to really not have it grow back anymore than stubble would be to shave and I wouldn't recommend shaving. The other option would be to use cream bleach. Also, for waxing, it just has to be long enough for the hair to grip the wax ~ it doesn't have to be full grown or anything. =)
Y'all need to grow up
I have 35+ years in this field -- started out on the job with a typewriter and "tanks of dictation" I for one read posts and it's " I only want to work Monday through Friday, I can't work because of kids, whine, complain, etc, I need benefits so on and so forth -- I have been working for 30+ years -- I KNOW how to search the internet, how to spell and I will spend time researching etc -- maybe for those of you, PRIVATE insurance is an option -- I know in my own personal experience last year when I broke my leg and was in a cast for 2 months, my hospital bill INCLUDING follow up was $26.
So, you didn't get a "Christmas/holiday bonus", so you didn't get an MT week gift -- right now, be GLAD you have a J-O-B and quiit whining and complaining and most of all GROW UP!!!
btw -- s/o makes $22 an hour -- he "got a raise" but come down to the nitty gritty, he LOST HIS RAISE and is making $3.00 LESS -- no benefits either
In a big hurry to grow up at 20, BIG MISTAKE
No one at 20 has the life experience to know herself, let alone know what to want and expect in another person.
Second time, and successful time, age 39. Better to choose than to "settle" for whatever's in front of you at the time.
I just sit on my fat butt and watch it grow. nm

Oh grow up - such a sore loser!

Oh, grow up. There is no teacher here to be a "pet" for. (sm)
Unless you're paying me per line to obsess about my grammar and spelling on this message board, I am not going to stress my grammar and spelling. It's just like when I'm talking with friends. I don't say "I cannot" and "he will", I use contractions. However, I would not use contractions in a report. Casual conversation, like here, is different than professional communication, like in an email to a client, or professional work.
In short, get over yourself.
I've wondered where B. Grow is (sm)
I bought my copy of Smartype from her when I worked at Winsolutions with her. I used to visit her website every one in awhile, too, for Smartype tips. I noticed that the website is down now, so I'm not sure how to get ahold of her anymore. Good advice, though. I'm sure she'd have some ideas.
Pity my employers? Furthermore, grow up!

No one said you have to train them. You just have to grow up and be above the bullstuff.
This is the difference between a good QA/mentor/Editor and a "QA person" -- I'll take my time and help someone if they need it, and I *am* a "good QA".
Not going to make them grow up any faster sm
Sorry, but I have a duty to protect my child until they are an adult. When they are older, if they request that I leave the room during the exam, that is one thing, but no doctor is going to tell me I have to leave the room. My kids know about sex and that no one is to touch them except a doctor and only if necessary during an exam. But they are also still children, and while I don't baby them, I am in no hurry for them to lose their innocence. I absolutely love that my 11-y/o DD still loves her stuffed animals and plays Littlest Pet Shop games on her Nintendo DS. Kids these days are growing up too fast, and while I may be looked at as giving her a sheltered life, I would much rather have that than her trying to act like she is 16 already.
Why does everyone assume that
the MT is on the board during working hours. And even if they aren't, why must we make it our business??
Please don't assume
I type basic 4 plus radiology and have done clinic as well. I am very well-rounded and a CMT.
please don't assume
I didn't mean to offend anyone by my comment - I apologize if I did.
Am I to assume......
that you left your husband or the other way around?
Why assume that because you don't others
I consistently produce 2500-3000 lines a day on the account I currently work on and have been on this account for a little over a year. A lot of factors go into line count, i.e. good docs, platform, etc.
Never assume!
Don't assume
that your previous employer would not take you back! Sure, they could tell you they aren't interested. Then again, you are already trained on their platform and know how they operate. It's only been 2 weeks since you have been gone. They may have an opening for you in another account. Who knows? The person who replaced you may be having a hard time catching on. They may LOVE to have you back! Please don't sell yourself short. You have a much larger advantage than anyone else who may call them for an MT position. If you don't call them, you will never know, right? Be honest with them. Tell them you made a mistake - no big deal - we all make decisions we regret. I think most employers would respect the honesty.
I think you should go for it! Let us know how it goes - I'm pulling for you!
so am I to assume
There is no way to do this?
why do you assume everyone
blames India? I don't think too many of the posts on this board complain that Indians are taking our jobs. I think they're complaining that MTSO's are outsourcing our work. Perhaps the joy we take is not in India's distress but in the MTSO's who sent the work there.
Don't make accusations pretending to know what others are thinking and dumping your "better than thou" attitude on others.
From the sounds of your post, you just like to stir the pot. 
I assume that the (sm)
hospital already has a digital system in place for other report types that you have not been transcribing? If they are now using .wav files for your doctors' dictation and they can route those to an MT company who then sends them to their MTs, then they should be able to route those voice files to you. You might want to use the Google search box above and search digital and .wav file. There may be older posts that will help you better understand how this works and what you need in order to keep your doctors. But, you can always just tell them, "I can transcribe digital files as well. I was transcribing from your tapes because you were dictating onto tapes. Now that you are going digital, I can go digital as well." See what their response is. Do not let technology stop you. You just need to do some quick research, get yourself up to date, and present your solution to them. I hope everything works out for you. 
No don't assume
Don't assume that MTSOs have Expanders all set up for you. Most leave you to do that on your own. They may have some inserts but in my experience most of the inserts are just for ops and procedures.

No I would not assume anything - sm
I have only worked for 1 company that had normals/templates. It all depends on their platform, if they even have one that is. I know where I am now does not have a big profit margin (supposedly). I get .07 and .08 depending on the account, I believe they are getting .10 or .12 just from comments I have heard from the MTSO. Supposedly she barely break even which I find hard to believe of course, what would be the point if the MTs make more than you do. Sounds like my MTSO makes maybe 2 to 4 cents on the accounts then has to pay the overhead costs, FTP, TASP, etc. and doesn't end up with much, but again I find that a bit hard to swallow. Who knows for sure.
LOL! Know just how you feel. They are near impossible to grow in SoFla.
aa
So did a lot of people, but they didn't grow up to be skanks.
She's gross.
Grow up. As I mentioned, we are all entitled to our own opinion...
I was certainly not saying I was representing "everyone's" sentiments. I offered insite into WHY I believe not everyone will care to answer the original question.
I have no idea what your problem is, and I don't care. Grow up.
Oh, for Heaven's sake - if you don't like it just don't reply. Grow up.

Barbara Grow expander method
I am in search of Barbara Grow's or Mary Morken's word Expander method and dictionaries. I googled these and am not finding any place that has them free or for sale. Do any of you know where to find them?
It's because they assume males in
any predominantly female occupation are gay. Beautician, florist, nurse, secretary, bank teller, MT. Maybe people think all females in male dominated occupations are "butch"?? LOL What do you think of when you see a woman construction worker? A. Gay. B. Not pulling her weight. C. Overpaid fluff job for EEO purposes.
You really shouldn't assume anything
about people you don't know. I am not overweight at all. I eat well and exercise regularly, but I don't condemn other people for eating what they like. It's very rude of you to call me overweight. You don't even know me.
MTE: *LOL* - let these posters assume....sm
When someone assumes something they make an A_ _ out of themselves. LOTS of companies are using DQS/DEP today. Some of these posters making such blanket statements are just *totally out to lunch*  and perhaps should find a different field  (if they are so miserable). Les Miserables....hence, I'd *consider the source*.
again - how on earth could you assume that I could not do your job with the same
education and training. Who is bashing?
why do you assume I don't care?
You just have waaayyy too much time on your hands to keep attention focused on Y-O-U! I won't share my life or my views. They aren't your concern, nor is my attitude about my profession - as opposed to your _job_.
I assume they mean last year
I would think they would say March of this year if it was this year, but you never know!
Why must posters always assume that we are
not experienced when we ask a question? All I wanted to know is where are these positions advertised, or do they always promote from within. Believe me, I'm educated and experienced.
Can I assume that you're
being paid that for one minute of a voice file? So if the file was 10 minutes you'd make $11.15?
If that's the case, then that sounds like a good deal. Like everything in this game though, it really does depend on speed.
Good luck with it.
Why do you assume she is the dishonest one???
Tell me why you think she is the dishonest one -- unless you are posting for the present board.
