    Dang, don't apologize ;-)

    Like far out, man..LOL.  Awesome resolution on both of them (of course I had to save them to my docs, too)   The second one looks like a Peter Maxx drawing, dontcha think? 


    Thanks for sharing...really need a peace sign here, dang it...oh, no wink either *sigh*

    Dang..I can't even spell it!
    I am used to working in Microsoft Word.  Is this platform a lot different?  I am wondering how my productivity will be.
    Dang!! I Just Threw One Away!!
    I just had mine croak a couple of months ago and threw it away. I never thought about keeping it to use for spare parts. I had a heck of a time finding one just like it. I finally ended up ordering it from Amazon because the ones at Staples are the newer model with the humongous wrist wrests.

    So sorry. I hope you get it up and running again. I absolutely love mine.

    dang...I can't type 210 lph (m)
    I wish I could. I've been watching the topic by the OP for ideas on how to get my speed up. Where I live $17 an hour is an amazing amount of money. Last time I worked in house I only made $13/hour and that wasn't that long ago. Thanks for your input! I have to decide by next week and I keep changing my mind.
    Dang - I Can't Even Spell

    dang I suck!
    LOL.  I have only had a job for the last 3.5 weeks.  Yesterday I hit 700 lines in a day.  Thank goodness I have no minimum.  But the first day I actually worked, I only hit 279 lines.  I get faster and faster everyday.  I also learned how to add things into the AutoCorrect option in MicroSoft Word, so that helped too.  I expect to be able to hit 1000 lines per day in another 3 weeks.  I also can only get in 5 hours during the day while the kiddos are at school.  If I choose to work in the evening I have to stop A LOT.  Part of the reason it takes me all day to hit 700 lines is that I hear words I am not familair with.  Or meds I have to look up.  I also go back and proofread all documents twice.  Seem I have no minimum requirement I can truly spend a little extra time on each document and be sure it the best I can do.  I know, over time, I will not to proofread every document over and over, but I am still learning.
    that's too funny! And you figured out what he was saying...dang

    hot dang, what a great website!!!

    can't wait to hear, I'm sure it's only RUMOR though!
    Dang, I had that problem before but don't remember how to fix it.
    I will check around to see if I can find out again.

    What happened? I wanted Janelle to win so bad.
    I missed it!
    who won?
    I missed so much...
    Goodness, I need to start watching it again. I have missed WAY to much. Thanks for the scoop!

    I missed that!
    I taped it though--I'll have to watch that.  Elliott is so sweet. 
    must have missed it....sm
    and yes, they do tend to come out on Fridays...given the opportunity. overworked and underpaid??....hmmm...I don't think so....just bad attitudes. JMO (even though I don't know what it was about). :^)
    For all those who missed it.....
    I found this website that should have the transcript soon.

    I think you missed something -
    the patient spoke English, the doctor did not and he could not understand the patient.  Are we supposed to find an interpreter for our doctor appointments to speak the doctor's primary language?
    Perhaps I missed something but...
    Do we not just double space between paragraphs and anatomy headings? Why would she make more money if only getting paid per character? Maybe I'm misreading.
    I think you missed it by about
    20 years or more. The pay was great in the past but steadily has dropped. I have typed on electronic records for at least 5+ years and nothing has changed, at least pay except going down. To make an excellent salary I would think you would have to get your own accts, not nationals, be able to transcribe excessively fast and work long hours, might be doable. To work for most nationals you need about 2 years experience also.
    You missed my point I

    being a roadside idiot holding a stopandgo sign.


    that is the bottomline.


    I have many years of experience of transcription.


    If you don't see the writing on the wall of where MTing is going - well, whoa be it for me


    to explain it to you.


    I'm just bowled over by the fact that after this many years


    my experience is worth less than if I had never learned


    how to type, learned English grammar, learned to type 100 cwpm, struggled my way through computer education on my own,


    learned medical terms, drug names and values, learned foreign


    dialects, learned many specialties .......that here 30 years later I


    can hold a sign and make the same money.


    But you stay in the field if you feel like you will come out ahead.


    Since they have turned the career into a profit making machine for


    a bunch of suits - the respectability of it and the career side of it


    seems to me has flown out the window and the MT has become nothing


    more than a part of that apparatus that can be replaced at their whim, and rather


    cheaply -


    LOL. I think you missed my point, too. sm
    I said benefits "should" be paid to employees, not that employers were required to pay them.  That is one of the main reasons people choose to be employees, the benefits.  Hopefully, your MQ PTO has improved.  When I left them approximately 4 years ago the PTO was a measly 3 days for the whole year to include holidays, sickness, and vacation.    At least now I have 6 paid holidays plus 10 days PTO a year plus other benefits including company-paid life insurance, short and long term disability, etc. 
    The point you missed is...

    The OP never said that her supervisor asked MTs to work extra.  If your supervisor asks you to work extra and you do, and there is no work for the other MTs during their schedule...then this is a different story.  This would then be considered a problem with management because they are allowing others to work extra and grab another MTs lines.  If MTs are not being asked to work extra and they are anyway, then this is a problem with greedy MTs not working their schedule.  There is a big difference between the two. 


    The bottom line is:  The problem starts with MTs not working their schedule.  If management does not follow through and take care of the problem, then it becomes a problem with management.


    you missed the point entirely.

    I think I missed the ad in the paper that says you must

    paint your house a funky color. I'm thinking I missed a huge sale at Home Depot on paint because my neighbors are going crazy with the colors. Yes, I understand home depot and Lowe's screws up paint and you can get the mixed up colors very cheap but geez. My neighborhood is going crazy with weird paint colors on their houses. Two months ago someone painted their house bright green with bright pink trim, then came the peach house with green trim, bright yellow house followed by bright blue house with the leftover yellow trim. New house being built across the street is all burnt orange including the fence. They even painted the driveway burnt orange and not UT vols orange. Now my neighbor is painting hers bright green. It's not a bad neighborhood here in Central Florida and the houses here run from 150s to 300s but these colors are horrendous. I think if I put my house up for sale I won't get an offer because the peach house, green and pink house, and orange house are all on the dead end street I'm on.


    Missed most of it but what I caught was fun!!

    I missed it, can you give me a brief
    synopsis???? My TV was messed up or something because my tape had FUZZ :-(

    I would prefer Cirie too, but I have a feeling if they are making it look like Cirie wins then it must be Danielle :-(
    Sorry I missed all the excitement
    Sorry I missed all the excitement --went sailing with my neighbor for a couple of hours and just got home.  I do have other things to do than sit on this board.  You can all say what you want about me, I have no reason to lie about what I make, where I live or how great my accounts are.  Life is too short and this is one battle I chose NOT to engage in.  Believe me, don't believe me that is your choice and I have too much in my life for which I am  grateful  to let it bother me.   With what is going on in the world right now, I think we have more pressing things to think about than whether one is lying about their income or where they live or if their life is empty.  Prayers for peace would be more effective right now.   Take care, going to eat dinner right now.   Would you tell you what it is but that would just cause a couple of you to challenge me right now.    Patti
    Where is her first post? Missed it.

    Missed 60 minutes but
    I missed that show on 60 mintues but I am real close to Hershey as I live in the general area. Heck I used to work for Hershey Park many moons ago. Lots of people around here are refusing to buy any more Hershey's chocolate. Sales will decline even if they are making it for less money. There are other concerns as well. With what just happened to the pet food, around my parts people are stating that they will not eat candy made outside the U.S. for the same reasons. Quality control is not the same off U.S. soil.
    must have missed your posts...

    dont know what you are talking about but


    GOSH


    IS IT NICE to hear some good news from someone that something is working out for them!!  Wow!   


    I missed the original too (sm)
    I'm a homeschooling mom as well. Rock on! It can be hard to figure out how to balance it all.
    Thanks, I guess I just missed that!

    Gonna get it ordered today because I have 1 podiatrist who is kicking my butt.


    Thanks again!
