Why to show off in that way, making others suspect that you are lying?
Don't wonder if you get nasty replies.

The purpose of QA is not to fix your mistakes DEAR..the purpose is to get your quality up so we don&
look at your work. It gets sent directly to the client and we do an occasional audit. If you don't want to deal with editors then listen to what they say and pull your damn score up and you won't have to worry about it all. The comments left are feedback. Why the hell should we just "give you the answer" we need to explain it to you so you do not make the same mistake. Sounds to me like you editor is probably pulling her hair out with you. If you can't cut it, get out of the business!
There is a purpose for everything
God is good! Congratulations!!! I hope and pray each day that I can get out of this industry soon!! My hubbie is starting a business and I just pray that it will lead to us having our own business and then GOOD BYE to transcription industry!! It was a blessing starting out but man alive it is getting on my last nerve now, definately not my calling. 
Ah, what's your purpose in this? If it gives you a
others down (others whom did NOTHING to you, BTW), then I want no part of it. Way to class it up.
Hope you have a nice life free of bitterness. I wash my hands of such negativity.
That was my purpose in
That was my purpose in posting this, the fact that he is bringing attention to it. I think it is great that he cares about our medical records and I hope he can bring some attention to the importance of how and where and by whom they are done, making the public aware.
Uhm, but that is the purpose of BUSINESS...
...these companies don't exist just to give us poor MTs jobs. GEEZ.
Keeping the client happy keeps BUSINESS, sis.
You don't like it? GET ANOTHER JOB. GEEZ.
Why in the world would someone do that on purpose? I am 5Ɔ" and an
E, was a C in 7th grade. I have a sister who is a AA and one who is B, both older. They want more, I want less. Insurance won't pay for reduction. Of course mine don't like as nice as hers, but I mine aren't man-made either.
The Purpose Driven Life...
I have felt very overwhelmed too over the past several months, and my DH gave me a book for Christmas that is the most wonderful gift he's ever given me...."The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. It is written to be read at the rate of one chapter a day, so it is very managable in our busy schedules.
Anyway, this book has made a huge impact on my outlook on life already, and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to anyone who is questioning their purpose in life. It is a wonderful book, and if you can't afford to purchase it, you probably get it from the library.
Find something fulfilling to do - something with a purpose (sm)
What if you got a job helping those less fortunate than you? Many people were born with mental and physical disabilities and you could use your abilities to help them. Apply for a job at a home for the mentally retarded or for the elderly - do something that makes you feel good in your heart - where you know at the end of the day that you made a difference in someone else's life. That will make you feel wonderful!
If not something like that, and you just need some variety, work for a temp agency so that you can keep learning one job after another and moving on.
Right now you are living in oppressed conditions. Anyone would get depressed being alone in the dark day after day. I do believe in depression - anyone who does not is jut unaware. Get yourself out of that apartment! Go for a walk. Make a point to smile at at least 5 people who look unhappy - force yourself to smile. Read up on the internet about how lack of UV rays causes seasonal affective disorder - read about how forcing yourself to do things like smile, cause endorphins to be released in your body and make you feel better. Use your brilliant mind to figure your way out of the maze you are in - you will have to look to new ways of thinking,and new ways of living.
forgot to mention other purpose was sm
I had XP home edition on my PC and they needed Professional edition for their platform MedRite, so was using their PC.
If you click a link by accident or on purpose sm
that message can open a trojan on your PC that will access your ebay information. Happened to me once and some yo-yo hijacked my EBay account and ran up $3000.00 worth of charges in about 2 hours. My account got suspended for suspicious activity and I was notified by EBay of the problem. Lucky for me, they found out who did it and cancelled all the charges. I had to go to the EBay chat with customer service and repair the damage. Took about an hour. Now I change my password everytime I get a message that's fake and send everything to spoof@ebay. It really does help. So, if you do get a note about suspicious activity, then go to Ebay and see if you can log in. If not, then the email is from them. 
The sole purpose of AAMT was and is to make..
money. With some online schools pushing their credibility to newbies, enough have fallen for "it" that they still rake in plenty. The original idea was, no doubt, a good one. Somewhere along the way, the working MT was forgotten. AAMT in no way represents the best interests of the working MT. The idea they are pushing now of making CMT credentialing mandatory is a joke and certainly not in the best interest of hundreds of thousands of working American MTs.
Hey, I'll send anyone a test (for a mere $50 fee), and I will *allow* them to use the prestigious ND after their name if they pass.
Oh, what does NS stand for, you ask? NO DUMMY

Why does anyone still work there?
I don't get it.
Of course it's a business! Anything that's run for the purpose of earning a profit is a busine

purpose of gallbladder is to squirt bile into digestive system
which helps emulsify fat. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with weight loss or not. I've never seen frequent notes that state, as a condition associated with gallbladder disease, that "patient is unable to lose weight." In fact, being fat is one of the 5 F's associated with gallbladder disease - Fat, Female, Fair, Forty and Fertile.
Of course you can, but there is a board for that purpose. Feel free to post on the Comedy Stop.

I KEEP POSTING ON HERE
What MQ is really doing and how they are crookedly counting lines, but someone keeps deleting my post.
Done! Thanx for posting this!! (nm)

I am not the only one posting here.
Others see it too because they are responding as well. I don't think that you are Zipper in the least. If you would notice the posts from Zipper, Frankie Boy and No whining the wording is almost exactly the same in their posts and Barney is defending them. If you ever saw the posts from Frankie Boy and Zipper, they were extremely offensive. No one in their right mind would think they are funny or want them back on the board.
thanks to all for posting
your post touched me most because i about your same age (52) and now have a 3 yr old to ride. I tried to send to your e/m but it wouldn't send (said invalid e/mail)... My husband told me (ex-racerider) to ride in the corral til we got used to each other -- i thought, 2 hours in a corral? -- i've always just rode out in the open...but now i find that i've spent these last 3 wk exclusively in the corral except for 2 outings when a friend could go with me. I feel like all my molecules have started to respond to the movement under me again (pretty rusty), but was totally upset by those feelings of *&#%# ?? Hate to call it fear, because i have felt true fear before and this was different. But it was totally new to me and i didn't like it. Yesterday was better. I always had so much confidence before and its making me doubt myself to have had these fleeting feelings that day. This is probably about the best colt to have if i'm starting with a young horse (which i also didn't plan on doing, another story); he's been well-started and basically laid back and level headed...again, thanks for your post (and to all). jml
Thanks for posting this...
Some of my stuff has been acting weird, too. Just curious...have you tried uninstalling the Update w/ Service Pack? Long story short, my DBF is in IT, said to uninstall the update, but when I tried it said "this update cannot be uninstalled." Oh great!!! Guess I should have known to have him install a Service Pack manually. They can screw things up big-time sometimes if they're not done right.
Anyway, ditto on the heads up folks.
Thanks for posting that ...
I'm a real sucker for cute animal stuff ... now I want a squirrel LOL

How sad. Thanks for posting this

I am sorry about posting this here, but
I need help asap. I asked on the tech board about a couple of things: 1. Since I installed VWPlayer on my PC, it has been running a lot slower and my screen has been freezing causing me to lose jobs. Also, everywhere I look for directions on backing up autocorrect, it says something about look in C:ProgramFilesMicrosoftOffice and then it says office10, but my only option is to look in Office and when I do, it does not say macros. I have MS Word 2000 if that helps. Also, I just recently added some memory (going from 128 to 384 after addng 256) Are there any techies around? Thanks for all your help!!
Thanks for posting...
hat is what I make now as an MT, of course, which is par.
do they have a different name/classification/description now for that job duty?
the AAMT is always boasting how they are going to help transition MTs into the technology, but have yet to offer ANYthing more, as to how, when, for whom, etc.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that this does not mean a cut in pay...
appreciate the input...

Post anytime. We all make mistakes and we all have been there. I posted something upset and I've been in the business for years. I got some smart mouthed answers and I received help that discounted that, so it evened out. Posting is good for you, you are as sick as your secrets and I am not going to judge anyone who posts upset. That's a good thing, get it off your chest. Don't run away. Stay and we'll support you IMHO. Good luck to you, sounds like you're having a tough time. Been there, done that, I showed up 2 hours late for a TAT in my black dress and got a nasty remark. I buried my Dad at 9:00 and went at 11:00 am to return my work. I said, "I just buried my Dad this morning." Didn't make a darned bit of difference. You get no sympathy from TAT excuses, believe me, one doc told me he didn't care who died, he just wanted his work. Stay, please.
She was posting under a different name

so, honestly, I'm new, what is THIS board for?
I think some of those are posting, above.
Thanks for posting
I imagine those shows do over dramatize everything. But I do hope it really did give your husband an overall appreciation for what you do. I work part-time, I couldn't even imagine working full-time and doing all of my mom/wife/housekeeper duties.
Yes, thanks for posting...SM
You can't always believe what you see on TV. All of that is edited to make for better ratings. It seemed like you both gained a little something from the experience though, so that is a plus.
If you don't mind me asking, what made you both decide you wanted to go on the show?
you are the one who is posting under different--sm
names, you little troll you. why don't you just stay off this board, Kikki, if you just hate everything, everybody, and your own life so much. you are pathetic. You had better find yourself some help. We all know who you are. The only one you are fooling is yourself. You are truly the devils spawn...and maybe you had better look that up to know what it means. go away!
where did my posting go?
I just posted something less than an hour ago about input on companies. Now it is not here?
Why don't you try posting it
on the job seeker's board that you need overflow/vacation help? You may find some candidates that are willing to help. If it needs to be local then state that the candidate would need to live in that area. Just a suggestion. Good luck. Some transcriptionists like to help out and to try something different. It is also a great way to network and meet new people.
thank you for posting this
I saw a similar ad, maybe the same one as you, and I too wondered how much could be done in an hour. It sounded like it could be fascinating but I too was apprehensive about how complicated it would be and what the hourly pay would amount to.
I used to do this kind of thing back in the 80s and charged at a minimum $25 an hour based on the time it took me to transcribe. I got plenty of work, but it was often a headache trying to follow along and keep track of who was saying what, etc. If it was really difficult, I'd contact them after an hour or so into it and tell them it was going to be pretty expensive and give them the option of taking it elsewhere. They usually told me to keep going and they'd pay whatever it cost and then tell their friends so I'd keep getting more and more of it. Sometimes it seemed like no amount of money was worth the hassle of it!!
thank you for posting that....
a lot of us who work for -you know who- are really vulnerable right now because we are looking for an out. If it sounds to good to be true it usually is.
Try posting this on
the company board. I have also read a lot of negative things about them, actually just after I turned down an offer by them for another job. Sounds like I might have made the right decision but again, post on the company board and I'm sure you'll get feedback there.
Wow, with so many posting here
I think making over 40 thousand a year is a good living, for this job. I don't know why so many say they can't pay their bills or this profession pays less than minimum wage. Last I heard, minimum wage is way less than 50 thousand a year, and also being able to stay home. That, to me, is a good living wage. I don't make 50 thousand, but I would like to and am going to try.
LOL! Thanks for posting this.
Re-posting
Just re-posting about speakers, as I did not get any responses: Note: I have the couple speaker brands that were originally mentioned written down.
I would like to get away from headphones too.
Where do I find those speakers mentioned (or other good ones I can use)?
Right now I am plugging my headphones into $30 speakers I got at Best Buy. They sound crappy without my headphones.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I do not know how to post a subject line without posting a message as well. Sometimes just a word or two would do, but it will not get accepted if I don't include a message??? Thanks in advance.
OMG, sorry for posting like this, but . . .
if you haven't in a while, you need to defrag computer, preferably after you run these programs. Actually, there is so much information out there which can be confusing and, like I said, daunting, but please choose what's best for you. I'm sure others here have great ideas too - shoot, I could always use help too.
LOL! Thanks for posting this. nm

Hopefully, you will soon only be posting with

Then why are you here...just to keep posting that you
Nobody's stopping you. If anyone else wants to join, then they will. OTherwise, we don't need it posted every 2 seconds to go over there.
YOU ARE POSTING RIGHT NOW!!!
I completely understand why you don't like it. I don't feel the same way, but I do understand. BUT, just leave then. No reason to stick around if it's just to post that you're not posting here.
And, yes I do care about those things. BUT, the owner isn't the one who did it...the previous owner did...all while sitting back and telling us she hated offshoring.
Thank you for posting this...
I was just mentioning the same thing to my husband last night. My exact words were, "I'm not as fast as I used to be for some reason."
I also used to type 300 lph with no problem. Now, I feel fortunate to break 200.
Job posting
I posted on the job seeker's board a couple weeks ago asking for assistance with a project I was doing and I wanted to say thank you so much to all who emailed me. I am sorry I was not able to get back to many of you. I was overwhelmed with work at that time (not complaining!) and received so many responses that I couldn't keep up with acknowledging them all. So, thank you.
One interesting thing I learned is that there are many, many Indian companies who replied as well. They are here and lurking for sure. If you ever post on that board, if you are not interested in oursourcing work to India I would suggest that you put that in your add. I was surprised at how many responded and how they tried to undercut my fair wage offered to get the job and how they persistently emailed and repeatedly interrupted my work with IMs even though I told them I was not interested. It was a learning experience for sure.
Just wanted to thank those who offered their assistance and share my experience.
