Format change, no announcement?
Here it is after 1:00 p.m., and there has been a big change to the templates for the account I type for a service, which suggests there may or may not be a change in the instruction we have about strickly adhering to this format, no matter what order the dictator dictates, and still there has been no e-mail to clarify what's going on.

We are graded on how closely we adhere to format. Why wouldn't the company send out an e-mail to tell us what's going on? This co is usually good with the e-mails, and since they are very busy and get way too many e-mails, wouldn't it make sense that they'd send one out as soon as they knew something? I know they won't grade us down for not knowing, but if formatting is important enough to grade us on, doesn't a change warrant a simple e-mail? They rather do 20 individual e-mails?

Weird.
Times change..including this policy about who is able to post. About a year ago,
this board started letting everyone post job openings, at least to what I can remember. I know at one point if they were India-based/affiliated etc..then they could not advertise but since anymore it is so rampant with companies being associated with India, they started letting them post. I could be wrong but this is what I recall.
Can't find how to change the sounds..sm
on my computer so I can get the "bubble burst" sound back.  I was able to change it from information on here before but can't find that post and I had to rebuild my computer and can't figure out how to do it.  Would somebody please tell me again? Thanks.
Well, it sounds like your unfortunate family members need to help YOU out for a change.
No offense, but family are supposed to help each other out it trying times.
Actually I think it's time for you to change jobs
You're a perfect example of what happens when a person has been out of social circulation for years. You're terminally hateful, angry, and certifiably insane. I actually feel sorry for you.  
TO GET PAID ON TIME FOR A CHANGE.
SS strikes again. I AM OUT of this place.
AZ doesn't change time? sm
Why don't y'all change time? I thought the whole country did it...y'all are lucky!
It is about time they change the misleading name... sm
I just wish someone would start a strictly U.S. MT organization to support US! :)

wedding announcement
I just went thru this last year with my daughter...I think it would be appropriate to add where the bride is registered...
Did someone make an announcement there in the 'village' or something?
How do they all know that the site is owned by new non-American owners?
Wedding announcement etiquette question...

Hello,


My fiance and I are thinking about including a separate note in our wedding announcements/invitations telling people where we're registered at or a charity they could make donations to in our honor so that we don't have to field a cazillion phone calls asking this.  We're thinking about wording it something like "your kind thoughts and presence if possible is your gift to us.  For those who'd like to send an additional gift we request that a donation be made to *** charity.  We are also registered at ***.


Would you do this to make it easy for people or would you consider it tacky?  Personally I'd like it if people sent that when they sent me invitations to help make it easy to know what they want for a gift. 


Votes please!


Time for a new job, it sounds like.
Let them find someone who will tolerate this kind of thing.
Ooh, that sounds good. What time should I be there?
We're probably having leftovers.  Tacos, sloppy joes, potato ham soup, and kielbasa.
sounds to be like she has no concept of time.
.
Sounds time consuming, actually
I suppose it could be productive if someone really dedicated themselves to learning a word for every key on their keyboard but I don't see how it could actually work...seeing as how there are more words in the english language than there are letters on the keyboard.

Sounds like something a court reporter might do but even then they have to use a stenograph to do that with, you can't just do it with a regular keyboard.
Sounds like it's time you established some rules
and demanded some respect. Your husband needs to respect the fact that you are working. Does he treat you with the same contempt in other areas of your life? It might be time to reevaluate the relationship and start communicating with him in a different way. He might be one of the trainable ones.
Sounds like time to find different co to test for.

Even 4.5 is too low. doctors do not change - they still hem and haw, change, change stuff along wit
It is just not enough for the work. Speech is great on the wrists but you are not just reading what is typed, you are making a lot of changes. I have a hard time doubling a lot of days with all the changes I have to make. Just my opinion.
Sounds like the Marines at your house! I'm really glad you "schedule" some quality time wi

your kids!  I think you are way harsh with your 15-year-old stepdaughter.  What's wrong with helping with homework?  Not giving her the answers, but sitting with her and explaining things?  I help my 14-year-old with his homework and I check everything he does for errors.  If he makes mistakes, I sit down with him and explained what he did and have him do it over.


As fars as my kids getting up on their own - my kindergartener gets up without the aid of an alarm clock because she is an early riser, but my teenager has to be gotten up and personally I don't see what is wrong with that.  They are TEENAGERS! 


My kids have chores and earn an allowance each week.  They must keep their rooms clean.  My son takes out the garbage, cleans the bathroom, and helps me do the dishes.  My daughter takes turns helping me do the dishes and sweeps the kitchen floor and feeds the animals.


My kids are spoiled, but what's the point in being a working mom if you can't spoil your kids every now and then?


Don't change. I had to change back to cable. SuddenLink DSL stinks! nm

Change provider vs change to business plan

In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first.  It may not be any better.  If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential.  They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.


Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me.  We just had to wait it out.  It's a downside of working at home.


change attitude, change life
The first thing you need to change is that defeatist attitude! I know that's hard at times like this, but that's when you need to most.
I won't go into detail, but my financial situation is also at an all-time low, we couldn't even exchange gifts., daughter in hospital twice, & no med insurance)..but then I heard about how much worse things were for others around me this season. Now I'm thankful instead!
Policy (SM)
There is policy about this.

Please write the Administrator about this (admin@mtstars.com).

I think the policy is
as long as they have an American office (storefront) they are still considered American and they do not allow offshore MT's to post resumes - but that is an I think.
If only this policy was followed with consistency, now that would be new!

It seems like you have to ask the company what their policy is (nm)

you may have been sold that policy
it doesn't mean you could have collected on it.
Yes, came from hosp. If was co. policy, they

Check the policy. It says......
unlimited long distance, person to person, then you will get busted. It may take a little while but they'll get you. I learned the hard way. I used Vonage and it worked great.
Honesty best policy
I don't think it would reflect badly on your son if you're just honest with the person who hired you about not being able to be on your feet for so long. I would suggest telling him/her that you didn't realize how difficult it would be to be on your feet for so many hours and that you've made a mistake. I think everything should work out just fine in the end :)
If it is your company policy, then you have
to do it. I would keep track of it though, check for errors, etc.
Not if you have a company policy

I never said it was an insurance policy. Are there not programs set
up for a reason? Is there no government assistance programs set up so that people can get help momentarily when they need it? I am not talking about depending on it. I am talking about OUR tax dollars going back to us during a time of legitimate NEED, not out of laziness. Do you think they are better spent in Iraq or a lot of other bull crap spending that is done on people not in our own country? We pay for this! No we don't have to expect our government to help us in times of need. Move to freaking Africa. Those views would fit in real good over there. I hope your kids go to private school. Wouldn't want the government taking OUR earned money and spending it back on us.

Deletions are made according to policy. (SM)
If you have a complaint about a post, take it to the Monitor board.

You'd be better off getting a private policy. Premiums are
cheaper, though still expensive, and you don't have to worry about insurance if you make a job change.   Shop around, should be able to get a family policy for about $400.00/mo. 
Or try to get the kids a separate policy

Fair Access policy
I have DW7000 professional and even with the extra download and upload capability they will still shut me down if I go over their limit. Also I am on SatMex and have had occasional trouble as long as I have had the system. Sometimes I just want to run over the dish and modem with my Jeep!!
I would read your health ins. policy

My husband's policy specifically states that even if a married couple get separated the spouse no longer has insurance coverage!  The coverage definitely stops, on my husband's policy, when a divorce is final.


I would want to read a copy of the health ins. policy for sure. Just my 2 cents. :)


Each company has their own policy for how they handle it.
I only worked for one company that deducted and that was YOG.  There is no industry standard, at least that I am aware of.   I'm going on 6 years at my current company and have never had a deduct. 
That depends on the company's policy.
Each company defines it's own policy. Most all do pay it out but since offering paid time off is not mandatory by any federal or state government, there is no mandate that a company HAS to pay out any accrued but unused paid time off.

Your Human Resources or Benefits Department will be able to direct you to the policies that govern this for your employer.

Official policy puts it best . . .
from the 2002 AAMT Book of Style:

"Obscenities, profanities, and vulgarities do not belong in a patient's record unless they are part of direct quotations that are essential to a report."

In 20+ years of transcribing, mostly psychiatry, with, as one might imagine, a lot of profanity, I've always just typed whatever the clinician quoted the patient as saying, and have never had a complaint.

Good luck,

Advertising policy of MTStars...
Many of you haven't noticed Advertising policy of MTStars lately.

http://www.mtstars.com/advertising.htm

No more sponsorships from MTSOs etc. The truth is being spoken on these boards and it always hurts. You can't remain sober if betrayed by some company or individual. You would have been speaking the same way if you were in their shoes.

I love MTStars for being unbiased (what people say nastiness). It's not like MTChat or MTDaily etc., where the posts are deleted and board owners are instructed to keep their & posters mouths shut for annual sponsorship of $500 by MTSOs.

Health Insurance policy for 2006
is now charging a supplement payment for smokers and those that live with smokers. Does anyone else have this policy or getting for the next year? This not through MT companies.
Well, my life insurance policy is worth more than I am,
especially the more I try to make MT work for me. Oh, well. It used to be a lot worse. I cut up my credit cards and made power payments on those. I have my first credit card now in 10 years. Yours isn't bad. You can do it.
