I didn't read your way-too-long post, but...
did you type all that out, or copy and paste from somewhere, cause if you typed it all out...you need to get a life and quick!
You didn't read the post very carefully.
.
You obviously didn't read the post carefully. Try again in a more sober frame of mind.
It made sense to me.
sorry, i didn't read your post before I posted mine...says the same thing, pretty much! :) nm

If I read you correctly
Yes, that JW (Pacific time zone)
not OP but mac did ya read that correctly?.LOL
It was a MS and not a Mr *LOL*
 have some lemonade on this very hot 95+ degree sweltering humid day....probably causing the negativity, eh? 
Do I read this correctly????
your HUSBAND was CRYING AND FREAKING OUT because he had not eaten???????? Please say it isn't so!!!!! I hope you mean your 1 y/o or 4 y/o NOT your husband.
I guess I didn't do the link correctly.

If people would read correctly, not a
dilemma. I HAVE CHRISTMAS DAY OFF. My gosh, I asked, being as I have always been someone elses employee until approximately 3 months ago, what THEY did, just to get someone else's views. I have worked long enough, since 1973, in this field to know about confidentiality issues. I wanted to see what others do on the holidays. I am not running scared about what I HAVE to do. A person asks simple questions and gets unbelievable crap thrown at them. I, for one, can walk at any time I please without having to bow down to any company. Thank goodness I have reached this point in my life. I see so much bitterness in the people on these chat boards, unbelievable. If you are so scared about others taking your jobs, why do you not find something else to do?? Why wear bitterness on your sleeves all the time. If my animals can read my reports, then I guess I have to get worried about someone reading them. I am not trying to solve the problems of the world, just asking questions I would like to know for my OWN INTEREST.
You need to read the posts correctly, never said all
of MTs could not make it and you surely don’t have to read what I say, freedom of speech, etc. I will say again, these are jobs and if working, you do your job first period, end of statement. If you want to do household in between working then do not complain because you cannot get your line count, cannot see after your kids, oh woe me. I read these day after day about how a person only goes into this field in order to stay home and then we wonder why we are not perceived as being professional? Professional what???
And I don't understand why you are not reading this post correctly, it says
being as it was elective on my part, all lawyers I contacted said no case. What else can I say?? Simple, elective, you did it to your own self, not like you had to have.....
Yes, I read your post, and I just re-read it, and I've copied and pasted for you in case
you've forgotten your own words! Your post above is 100% different "flavor" to it, now all positive and cheery! Your first post was 100% doom and gloom every which way, including "raining on your parade", and "if you want to go forward"...God, sounds like she's talking about jumping into oncoming traffic! Here is your quote:
My first boss (the one who hired me as a new grad) gave me some words of wisdom that I haven't forgotten. She said that transcribing at home with small children NEVER works under any circumstance. Either the work will suffer or the parenting will suffer.
****
How can the word "NEVER" in caps be interpreted in any positive way? You took about 8 paragraphs to cover every aspect and completely dash this poor woman's dream. I'm not blind, I'm not talking about day care at all, I'm talking about the total negativity of your original post! You know exactly what I'm talking about, cause you added some sugar to your second version! And that's much nicer than the first!
I didn't read the other posts but just read this
My daughter got pregnant at 17, said she wanted an abortion but BF didn't. I have a wonderful 2-1/2 yo grand daughter that I don't think I could live without...and now, guess what? I don't. I have custody of her. She was dropped off on my door, I got court ordered temporary custody and final custody hearing in a month.
I'm single with no family support. I had just taken a new MT job one month before this happened and they have been wonderful during my adjusting to being a mom again and I hope I can resume a normal schedule by next week.
I'm passing no moral judgments or giving moral advice. The situation is what it is. My prayers are with everyone involved.
If you submit your reports on time and correctly, you get paid correctly. Pay has been on sm
time for 2 years now. 1st and 15th for employees, 2nd and 16th for ICs. If it falls on a weekend or holiday, it posts the next business day.
By the way, there is no Sophie on radiology at Keystrokes. Must be a troll.
What did it say..for those of use who didn't get to read it.
xx
my, how you read into that - didn't you.
It was sarcasm. But believe me, I could have said something that would have slammed you into next week with your comments. But I did not because I would have been kicked off this board. It also would be quite unbecoming to do - you know, "knock someone when they don't know any better"
So if you read into my remark, then I'm sorry.
You obviously didn't read the
mind. So does it matter to you that, in fact, there are more white people on welfare than anyone else? I don't advocate welfare for life no questions asked, but geez, louise,this is America, the richest country in the world and we have children who go to bed hungry!!!! That doesn't bother you at ALL and you support policies that helps make this happen?! God help us.
sorry, didn't read your response below! I tried, though!

No, see? You didn't even read the posts. You came
into the middle of the conversation and started making things up. I'm not angry and bitter, so please stop spouting your nonsense. Read your own posts. As for the soda bottles, we were discussing washing them out to be reused to hold water when a hurricane comes. I'm done. I'm out of here. I'm not going to defend myself against someone who doesn't even understand the conversation and makes things up.
Didn't read, did you, Tinks?
The company repaid my testing fee (I'm a member, it cost me $195).
Plus I get about $6000 a year more by the CMT production bonus.
So, get off your garbage can. It IS profitable.
If you don't care for the AAMT, that's okay. However, they are the standard and their standard has given me $6000 a year more in salary just for proving I can pass their test.
Okay, Oscar, fire away!
Didn't read it online.........
Husband's tech department was contacted by McAfee about this. McAfee is a company they deal with a lot in his business, so they are kept up to date. FYI
Didn't read all the posts below about rubbing
alcohol, so forgive me if someone mentioned it, but there is also wintergreen alcohol!
I didn't realize that until I read the EULA
the other day after talking about this. I've never had 2 computers, so I had no idea. I took it off and bought a new one for the 2nd computer. Thanks for the info.
Sorry, I didn't read the question or the answers SM
well enough. An insomniac visit. It's a question worth asking in case someone has come up with some clever system for BPs.
Yes, Jay certainly does read this board. I know because he threatened to sue me if I didn't remov
certain posts some months ago essentially about the same subject content as now. If Jay truly owes previous employees and current employees clearly it would behoove him to do so as it certainly doesn't look very good when his indiscretions are plastered all over MT sites.

I read the book "Saving Keystrokes" but it still didn't help.
You can't make many shortcuts and remember them all if you don't get the same dictators saying the same thing day after day.
Oh, yeah. I had this guy about a month ago. What was that shortcut for his physical exam?
Oops..didn't read the whole message..let's see..still margaritas and lobster and how about...A

Didn't the post say PT, 15,000? THAT's PT???nm

I didn't think she was being mean about my post.....was she?
I didn't take it that way.
Didn't know the other post was from you
and I do have a hard time believing $98K in just 30 hours a week, but anything is possible I suppose.
oh. I obviously didn't see the post below before.
I thought it was just like your existential scream for the day or something, heh.
Link didn't post
Try this

I didn't get any of what you said from the previous post
I think the poster was just saying that nationals do those things mentioned. Nowhere was it said in her post that nationals are crooks. Those are your words and you're trying to put them in her post because she she contradicted your theory.
The link didn't post - here it is again.

Me, too. I was going to post earlier, but didn't
have the energy. I had the twitching thumb first about a year ago, now aches and pains every week that move or migrate all over, too. Numb legs, butt that kills me - seriously, I nearly cry when I sit down or stand up. Then it moves to my neck, or shoulders, and then back to legs. It is horrible pain, and I'm getting really worried that I'm not going to hold up for this job much longer. Its so pathetic - sitting in a chair and falling apart. I was wondering if it could be fibromyalgia-type symptoms. Horrible. You are not alone! I have also bought so many ergonomic things - chair, keyboard, mouse "platform", and forget it. Oh yes, even lighting, and I still am in pain all over the second I sit down in this chair. 
You need to reread the post. I didn't say
all the freebies were scams.
I didn't get your post either Rita.
Did he do the face lift or not? If he did the face lift and dictated it at a later date and predated the report then that goes on all of the time. When a doctor fails to dictate then it is is dictated at a later date but the date of the actual service or the study, etc. is performed usually does not change. 
Did you read my post?
First of all there was tear gas canisters thrown by the guardsmen into the crowds and they were thrown back at the guardsmen. That is documented in articles, (look on line) and by first hand eye witnesses that were there.
Anyway, my post was not about what exactly went on at Kent State. I was using that as an example of how your child could go to college and find themselves in a position of danger. Serial killers, rapists, what have you. It was in response to a post about how Natalee went to Aruba and found trouble but that probably wouldnt be likely at a college. OKAY????? I never said people didnt have the right to protest or that war was good OR that the gov was responsible or not.
I am all for protesting and exercising our rights as private citizens of this free country. But somewhere along the way from my original post, someone got off on a completely different subject. this was about natalee.
Did you even READ my post?
It's been a great, lucrative career for me. I've loved it from the start and still do. I've mentored and encouraged many along the way. I'm a QA specialist, college instructor and a consultant. I'll exceed 50K this year and have a very flexible schedule. No weekends, no evenings, and take off when I want. Additionally, I've been at home with my kids all this time. I've worked my way to the top and I'm good at what I do. No gloom and doom here. The point I made (that you somehow missed) was that times have changed. It's much more difficult than it used to be and sometimes it's nearly impossible to get a break. I'll repeat myself--I work for a private college. We trained many great MTs. We were FORCED to drop our program because of job market for new graduates is so poor. It's not too difficult to place a graduate in an in-house position (I teach in a large metropolitan area), but few women enter this profession with working in-house as their goal. Tuition at a private college (students could earn a certificate or an associate's degree) is very, very expenstive. No, you don't HAVE to spend thousands and thousands, but many students do. Then when they graduate, many are faced with harsh reality. I'm not SPECULATING on this; I've seen it happen time and time again.
The daycare issue is a personal choice and has been argued into the ground. We all know it's difficult for an MT to be productive and accurate with a 2-year-old whining in our ear. Some of us make it work; others can't. Making an informed decision requires hearing stories from ALL sides.
Oh my!! I think we should all NOT read the new post at the top! Looks like another
flamer to me! Now its gonna spin into birth control issues and world over population! I'm not mad at anyone! I am happy! Please be happy, too!! I will try warm milk, but just in about 6 hours when I'm hitting the hay!
Are you the OP? Yes, I read your post.
I didn't even say anything about "correcting their wrong crap." (Nice structure, by the way.)
The question was "Why go to MT School." I answered it.
1. It gives you more flexibility/choices in employment.
2. You learn relevant aspects of medical terminology. I didn't learn "perineal" vs. "peroneal" in K-12, nor did I learn that 125 mg of Synthroid is an incorrect dose.
3. You get experience in hearing what was said and transcribing it accurately. Many MTs lacking an adequate MT education have difficulty separating "what they hear" from "what they said."
I read your post below, thank you and....
As for above I should say people do need "protein" in their diet, NOT meat, especially not like this. I've also been trying to slowly get it out of my diet the past few years and after seeing the images, knowing and hearing those sounds I don't think I could physically eat it. Its unbelievable to me. We need people like you out there spreading the word, these animals have no voice so they need us. Do you know if putting pressure on them by PETA has brought about any changes??
Do you have ADD? Did you read my post? sm
I have work now that pays me well and it's more than 10 cents a line (which is considered an "excellent line rate.") I do not need to "start my own company."
However, if some companies can charge 18 to 20 cpl (which I have read on this board), why can't they pay quality MTs more than they pay newbies?
This is a MUST READ post, the 20 yr exp...etc. nm

Of course I read your post.
I can comprehend that you are a WEE bit prone to exaggeration and apparently it is making your life miserable. If you look through this website you will quickly see that many posts do not concern MQ.
My take on this is that right now there are many more MQ posts because of the looming change in our jobs/status/benefits and it's got many of us worried.
If you want an edited MT forum to your liking I suggest you open your own site. Otherwise live and let live, please.
when I read your post...
I get angry that as transcriptionists we have somehow found ourselves in a no-win situation. There should be no reason you are having to work yourself to death to learn a new job. Only in our profession does one NOT get paid to learn. Any other job you go to, you are paid while training for the job...no matter how much you know the work, places are different and everyone has to learn the routine. And in transcription, this can be VERY, VERY hard to learn a new company and all their account specifics, rules and guidelines and systems! I feel for you. I understand your feelings about your son. I raised my son alone on my sole salary and worked from sun up to sundown ... but I did stop long enough in between to take care of him. I went to ballgames, I went to school functions, I helped with homework and projects, etc. and when he went to bed at night, I started working again.... well into the night. It was not easy, but I got to be with my son and participate in his school and curricular activities while he was growing up. I would not take ANYTHING for that time and wish I had more of it now. I did what I had to do. Thank goodness in your situation, you have a husband who can share some of this responsibility with you. It's a matter of prioritizing... and it's not easy. It means giving up certain things. I sacrificed a lot over the years .. I don't drive fancy cars, I don't live in a fancy house and I have a very functional wardrobe. I don't compare myself to others. I find that I am much happier than others I work around now who have all those things. My son is much more well adjusted than many of their children also.I am very blessed. We have our children for such a short time, it's not until we get older that we realize exactly how precious every single minute of it was! I wish for you the best and hope you can make the right decision for you and your family. May God Bless you.
