In Reply to: You said you "joined" the lawsuit. You did NO such thing! You're a liar! - MTQR

could not understand a word you were saying and you were about to take a baseball bat to the computer muttering something about join, CIA, MQ, dreams, lawyers.

Get some rest, take your medication and maybe you can come home on the weekends with supervision.

bwaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaa MQ has finally broke one of their damage controllers.

No! And boy do I know where you're coming from! I tried to get the Olympus pedal to work, but..
wound up pulling my hair out instead.  They don't make it easy on us, do they?!?!?

You're right. I have a wonderful family...Happy Mother's Day to you too!

Totally agree. They're no longer paying for this so-called skill
and that's part of the reason the quality is down.
The so-called "reality show" is the lowest form of so-called entertainment in recent years
I hate them. They've ruined TV.
De Ja vu explained...

In one of her books she explains how we are given a blue print of our life before we are born, so we can choose our path and what lessens we want to learn while being on earth, to get us closer to God in the spiritual word.  She explains when we have de ja vu, a feeling we had been in this exact same place/situation before, that is a part of our path we remember seeing before birth.  Again, some of you may laugh at that..but is there any other explanation for de ja vu?  I'm a spiritual person and when I read that, I said a-ha!  Total believer.


I just explained it. Don't know what else to say

No. The way it was explained to me is that once you have sm
it expunged, you can honestly say "no," except like I said before, if you are applying for a high-level security position or such.

Good luck to you. No one should have to pay for a mistake that happened years and years ago.
Should have explained further - where I
work 12,000 pay period is FT, that is base pay. Over that you receive the incentive.
Both--should have explained further.
For root words -
tr - treat
trd - treated
trs - treats
trg - treating
trm - treatment

Well, maybe I explained it wrong

I have the wavplayer footpedal only and it is supposed to plug into the speakers, but does not fit.


Thank you. That is exactly how Dictaphone explained it to me sm
when I went to Florida for training.
why do u need it explained. Everyone counts different.
what do u need to know?
very nicely explained
exactly right!
A college professor I had explained it like this...

We all have "breaking point" for getting cancer.  Has a lot to do with your immune system and what you are doing to your body, i.e. smoking.  One person smokes and gets cancer at 38  _____1_____________ and the next person smokes and gets cancer at 78 _______________1____.  It's individual and you just never know.  However, the fact that a person gets cancer 10 years after quitting cigarettes doesn't mean they wouldn't have gotten it if they had continued to smoke.  Probably would have gotten it sooner, but since the prior smoking has done it's damage, they got it anyway. 


I heard that if you quit before age 35 you can usually reverse the damage and your risk factors, but after that, there's no going back in a big way.  The damage is done. 


I have explained several times now that we have added the
Indian URL to the Google Adsense filter so that it will stop appearing, but it does take a few days for it to take effect.  We have NO control over Google when a banner appears, but we can remove it though it does take time on Google's part.
Yes, I had that happen. I went to Radio Shack, explained...
my circumstances and they sold me a filter that took care of the problem EXCEPT when the ham operator ramped up. IF you know where the tower is, these people should be reported - it's against federal guidelines to ramp up that heavily. I found the tower (down the street from me), called him in, and the feds they came a-knockin'. Funny - no more problems! Good luck!
She has explained it before - lots of expanders if I recall correctly.
I believe it - I to make great line counts in a few hours, but have to work in 2-3 hour periods, take a break, and go back later for 2-3 more hours.

If I sit here all day, I am not productive. It works for me.
Yes - it was explained to me that this happens when the egg implants in the uterine wall. The blood
Had this with all of my pregnancies.
family is family wheter 3 or 8 sm
i live in MA and $1200-$1400 a month is what good health insurance costs, ie $20-$40 copays.  it was just passed into law that if you live in MA you have to have medical insurance so without being self-employed, you can go right to BCBS etc and get a plan directly from the major health insurace companies, but for a family plan and a decent income bracket, forget it.  the prices are outragous.  right now my husband pays $120 a week for family plan and this is after his employer pays 30% of the total cost.  we have $20 copays, but we have a $2000 individual deductable per year with a $4000 family deductible cap.  so when my daughther needed her tonsils out, $2000 and when my son broke his arm, $2000.  someone on this board has to be able to tell you what they pay for insurance through their company as an employee.  good luck.
It's time we all called NJ. I called

They can't provide anything in writing.


Nobody knows anything - keep telling you to call your supervisor.


I smell something worse than New Orleans coming from NJ.


where are you coming from????
Do you actually think these people are all addicts? These are the common people who could not afford to get out, probably making a lot less an hour than you do. They had no vehicle, and they left their homes with all their possessions in their arms. These people are starving and dying on the streets. It could just as easily have been you or me, and they just want to survive! If it had been a foreign country, help would have been there lickity split.
Are these cks coming

I don't think I'd cash them either.  They don't make sense from what I'm reading.  Has anybody contacted the law firm handling the class action suit for the MTs to see what's up there and if these are connected?


I'd sure hate to have your be "settling" by you cashing them and you not even know it.


Their day is coming! Nobody

If they were smart they invested what things came to them under


the table for selling us out down the river, because the bottom will


fall out from under them soon enough.


Right now the United States is in such a weakened state, the world is


ready to pounce on us.   They are talking in the Trillions we are in debt now as


a nation. 


And this coming from someone
who works at Scribes? LOLOLOL This is the funniest thing I have heard all year. They are the biggest scam artists around!
Hey! I'm coming right over to help!
Does not sound bad to me! The only thing is...be sure to check out what other posters said about "Are they making you claim 13 cpl or just what you are really getting, which is 9.75 cpl." You do not want to claim more than you are receiving. Don't worry about the taxes. They are a headache but you would be, basically, self-employed and would have to pay federal taxes just like EVERYONE does, and you would have to pay BOTH your share of SS, just like we all do anyway, PLUS the employers half of SS. Then, at the end of the year, you get the employers half back on your federal income tax form. You might even have to fill quarterly, but maybe not if you don't make very much. An accountant could give you advise on all this.
They know what's coming
I have relatives in Naples and the last time I saw, the center of the projected path puts Naples right in the center.
me, too.... keep it coming.... nm
b
They know what is coming. So now we pay big

bucks for tons of ice to melt in warehouses in northern states because of incompetence of govt officials.  Maybe if people relied less on the govt we could have lower taxes. 


I do not object to helping those in areas who have a disaster that cannot be predicted such as an earthquake, but it seems that Florida wants everyone to rebuild their houses several times a year and feed them even longer.  Those areas are known to be hurricane prone, so get out when disaster is coming.  


 


At least they got a little of what they had coming to them.

I don't envy you at all. I know my husband would have no qualms about closing the road leading to their house.  Unfortunately, you still have to live near them, so probably don't want to cause any more problems than necessary.


Good luck.


And you are coming across like you want me to be in ... sm
complete agreement with you...well, I put in my facts based on my experience....I wish you well...take care and have a blessed week!!
They might just get what's coming to them
Already thousands of people in the U.S. are going to India for their medical care. They can pay for the flight there and back, a top-notch operation in a top-notch facility with a private nurse and a private room afterwards, some time to vacation and recuperate--all for about 25% of what it would cost just to have the operation in the U.S., forget all the other goodies. What goes around comes around. When a doctor gives you the "I don't give a crap" look when you discuss offshoring, do be sure to bring up how offshoring affects him as well.
I see where you are coming from
but I don't feel the need to type fast for low wages.  I type fast too, but I don't like to compromise patient care by being a speed demon.  It is just too dangerous in my opinion.     Why are you so against someone staying at home to take care of children meanwhile making a little part-time money?  Not all newbies only make 8 cpl.  Not all newbies sign up to work for the nationals that post jobs here either.  Not everyone that posts here work for nationals either.  JMO.
No, I see where you are coming from.

However, you have to understand that most MTs are not paid hourly and are paid per line.  Some of us with 20 years are still only offered between 8-10 cpl if we're lucky.


Just be ready to job hunt and read here about the different companies.  Spheris big time off shores and underpays. 


You may want to either go to school (hopefully your hospital pays for that) or look for another on-site job that pays hourly.  With Spheris you'll have to work from home (which sounds dandy) until you actually do it. 


It works well for me right now, but I plan to get back on site as soon as my kids get a little older.  It is very hard to separate work from home when you work from home.


There will probably be no benefits for you either especially at part-time. 


You could wait until the bridge is there to cross it, try out Spheris, and then go from there. 


thank you for coming to my defense (sm)
Of course I know my financial situation, but we have missed a few payments, have tried to contact the lein holder, but to no avail. 
coming from corporate
corporate requiring 12,000 lines/pay on avg or you will be dropped to SE status
I am going to be coming to this site
from now on.  I get so sick and tired of the rudeness and trolling at another board.  You all rock here!!!  Thanks for having me:)
Something is coming..Spheris
Get ready to bend over.
Pisces here, don't know if I am coming or going. nm
:+
Probably take out as we will be coming back that day - sm
from VA Beach. Jenny spent last Easter in hospital after her nephrectomy for Wilm's, so we thought it would be good to do something different this year. Seeing DH's parents the following weekend probably. She just got her Port-A-Cath out so its a celebration of sorts for us.
coming back to MT--??? gone?
I thought I had posted this question on this board, but the topic seems to have been removed.  Anyone know why?
It is coming back
There are a bunch of shows that start later, "mid-season" and the only dates I can find are "early 2007", but I was wondering about Medium is how I found it. Medium will be back mid-season, along with Scrubs, According to Jim, Reba, George Lopez, King of Queens, Supernanny, The Sopranos American Idol, America's Got Talent, etc...... bunch of them!
Yes, and it's coming out on CD in November.
It sounds like it will be a huge improvement over the latest QLDB, because people who have always used QLDB are saying the latest one doesn't work as efficiently in past. So go to this website to order Sauders. CD isn't scheduled to be released until November, though.

I understand where you are coming from
It always bothers me to hear these stories but I think it bothered me even more because no one had a clue this guy had this in him. So it makes one wonder just WHO can we trust :-(

Hayseed I know just where you are coming from
I have been in that position myself. Not so much with the "pager" thing, but getting calls at different times and with the company for example being on the West Coast and me being 3 hours ahead and them not forgetting the time difference. It truly is "between a rock and hard place" because these companies KNOW who their "good and dedicated employees" are and will frequently use it to their advantage and forgetting that we are also human. I for one too, have a hard time with companies that utilize an "instant messenger program" with their MTs, because as you mentioned, when you are constantly receiving an IM, it cuts way down on productivity. Hope your day gets better as it progresses.
Coming into money sm
I hate that expression, how does one come "into" money. If she truly earned it, which it sounds like she did not, then she is splurging at best. Makes one wonder why we who work so hard for a living, penny upon penny, line after line, make such sacrifices for those who think they can automatically come into it. Sorry, but I hate that phrase and it is usually used by losers. Whatever the situation, it is sad that the come-into money is not used for future generations so those who earned the come-into money would not have toiled and sweat for those who came into it and either sit on their assets or splurge it. No feelings here except for disgust! You reap what you sow in this world and the only way is hard work, too bad they cannot use their come-into money for better things than piddle it away.
If they are coming through this site...
please report them as spam to admin. All emails that come through here have a link to report, or you can just send an email to admin@mtstars.com and let them know. That email address will be blocked from sending through MTStars servers.

Unfortunately, anyone can click on any of your posts and "reply by email". If they're not reported as spam, they can keep doing it.
Over the years, I have seen this coming, and SM
all I can say is let the Indians have the work, and U.S. QA and editors stop fixing the mess that comes back. It will only be a matter of time before clients start dropping like flies when they receive unintelligible reports. Sorry, but if you have overseas MTs and overseas QA, you are asking for a disaster! I have seen first hand the mess that comes back from Indian MTs, and their work is not even worth the .03 per line they are making. I would compare this as wanting to move to France to transcribe for a French doctor when I have no skills or experience with their language. How long do you think my job would last? U.S. QAs, please do not be enablers for our industry to thrive overseas.
Interview coming up...
I have an interview coming up for PT with an ortho clinic ON SITE.  I have 3 years experience in acute care and op notes and getting paid 7/cpl right now working at home.  What line rate or pay per hour do you think I should ask for now that I'd be buying clothes and gas?
