Not funny but what a FUN POST!!!....sm

LOL.....*story will morph from 3 feet to 8 feet by the end of the week as you tell it*...... or something..... about had me falling on my face!!  *lol*


I don't live in a *house* though I grew up in one and had one 15 years ago...I feel safer in a BIG building...less critters around and safety in numbers......I'm a condo owner/dweller....up a few floors from the ground floor.I don't *kill* in the life......except roaches or something nasty-arsed like vermin.....I remember putting mice traps when I had the house 15 years ago.....


Have to post this because I think its both funny AND insulting - sm

This was posted on GURU.com - it's a job up for bidding.  But read carefully and look at all the EXPECTATIONS this person has .... for $20/audio hour.


 


Description:
I am looking for several Document Production Specialists to start ASAP.

Requirements:

*  At least two years of transcription experience
*  Excellent spelling, grammar, punctuation
*  Extensive vocabulary
*  Medical, legal, and general business terminology
*  Ability to research
*  Excellent listening and comprehension skills
*  Detail oriented
*  Ability to follow simple instructions
*  "Just do it" attitude
*  Professional attitude, communication skills and work habits
*  Express Scribe software and foot pedal
*  Microsoft Word
*  Committed to providing a quality work product

Let me emphasize that this is not a simple typing job.  If you have
fast and accurate typing skills, good, but that's not enough.  I have
extremely high standards and you must be able to meet these high standards.   

***If you cannot complete one hour of transcription and provide a
PERFECT transcript within 24 hours, please do not bid.*** 

It is very important that you be able to work without advance notice
and without distractions.  If you cannot do this, please do not bid.

It is also very important that you be able to take the ball and run
with it and not ask a lot of questions.  If you need a lot of
hand-holding, please do not bid.    

If you get frustrated easily and cannot handle challenging
transcription work, DO NOT bid. 

For those of you who want super-easy work for tons of money, DO NOT
bid.

I need for you to indicate your days and hours of availability.  These
days and hours should NOT be flexible.  These should be the days and
times that you are ALWAYS available to work.  You will be receiving jobs
during these days and hours without advance notice and you are expected
to do them, no excuses.

Please don't ask me if work is available.  When work is available, I
will send it to you during the days/hours you have specified.

If you are a serious professional, confident about your abilities, take
a great deal of pride in your work, and don't mind working for a fair
but demanding boss, please bid PER AUDIO HOUR.  Keep in mind, however,
that you will not be paid more than $20 per audio hour to start.


 


 


I responded in a polite way, stating that I do not know of anyone that would take work on a MOMENT'S NOTICE, turn it around in 3-5 hours for the total cost of $20.  I got the nastiest response back .... "Well guess what?  I've had bids for $10 and $25.  So there." 


 


What do you all think? 


Such a funny cute post!
LOL!
Funny! Good post. nm

You are too funny with the MEN CHEAT post. I had to call my
He's working out of state (isn't that just handy?). He was NOT amused because, of course, HE CHEATS! I am not 100% certain, but he's a lying, dishonest, deceitful person whom I have no trust in whatsoever. He REALLY didn't like your solution to the problem...hee, hee. I DID! It does hurt, though, no matter what. MEN DO NOT HAVE TO CHEAT--it is a CHOICE.  I don't trust any of them anymore.
lol Reading all of this, your post struck me funny.
You state that you would think her equipment is paid for by now. You would? Considering what? You know her? LOL You know her equipment purchases or lease agreements or what?! LOL

It just seems like everyone is assuming quite a bit.

She sounds like she has more than a rinky-dink small-time business.

I especially love the "get rid of the QA" vote! As if that poster has any clue what her needs are or what her contractual obligations are!

Just kind of funny to me.
Your post cracked me up! Flying Hotwheels! So funny!
My kids are teens, but still...I'm doing QA now, and I really need the house QUIET to hear every syllable every second!  So, before when I used to "just" transcribe, all H*ll could be breaking out around me - TVs blaring - phones ringing - kids playing/fighting/arguing/singing, whatever, and only occasionally would I scream out "BE QUIET - I'VE GOT ONE OF THOSE DICTATORS"...and a hush would fall over the house...even the dogs would put their paws over their ears and hunker down. Then you'd hear my stomping on the foot pedal, huffing in disgust, and then after about 30 seconds, I'd yell "ALL CLEAR", and chaos would resume! Now that its QA, boy, they are experiencing culture shock.  Now I've always got "THOSE DICTATORS"... so its been a few months now, and I've still not yelled "ALL CLEAR", and probably never will again!
Answer to finding job x15 years experience and not so funny post!

How childish!  Just another embarrassing post by an American MT !!!


 


The FUNNY thing is that in the amount of time it takes for them to post a message

You're funny. Ignorant, but funny.
I don't live in NYC and I don't work out of NYC and I make wayyyyy more than $23 an hour, SandyGIRL.

I'm an employee at the largest national and I make anywhere from $58K to $64K a year.

You don't have to believe anyone but you show your ignorance by telling those of us who make that money that we're full of it.

Hahaha
Sorry, that was not an ASR funny, just a regular ole dictation funny. LOL! nm

Should just post all their open positions in one post and only be allowed to post one of those a day

Ignore my post. I finally found the post on how to do this. nm

Yes, I tried to post same last night about 10 times, and it won't let me post.
I used to breed lab puppies (please no activist flames)! I had a champion female white Canadian lab, and people would be on a list for years if by chance I bred her, which I did twice, and so that I could continue her line.  Anyhow, she's my sweet Skye who passed away 2 months ago? At any rate, we had the same problems with kids in the "hood" who wanted to come over and play once the puppies were old enough to be exercised daily and played with.  At first I thought, how cute, right? Puppies and little kids - what better picture! Well, the majority of kids were adorable, but there were always 1 or 2 sick ones who would smack the pups, smash and hold their heads in the dirt (a real common thing, but I don't know why - psychiatrist anyone).  At any rate, I finally had to ban the whole group due to the 1 or 2 creeps, had to call the police, the whole 9 yards, and that's EXACTLY what the police officer told me - next thing is there will be poison meat or a donut in the yard. He told me to always go out and patrol my yard, especially alone the fence line every day before I let the dogs out, particularly at night. I went out with a flashlight.  It was about a month later, but sure enough - poison meat.  Because there were so many kids involved, we obviously couldn't pin point the exact family, but the police went and read the riot act to them all. It would stop and not happen again for a year or so, but every now and again we would find something. My dogs were NEVER out and barking, so it was nothing like that - it was just over the puppies and the cruel kids.... Not trying to freak you, but that's the way these kids and their families are.  You can really judge someone's character by ill treatment of a PUPPY, of all things. And the parents??  They sound whacked.  Please be careful.
Sorry, I posted this post under the wrong post
Sorry
The job post has been removed and they are unable to post further.

Excellent post! I copied this post and...

Ah, I really meant to post that under the original post
Though it was gourdpainter's post which inspired me to post that suggestion.

Here's an URL for the medical transcription division of PRN Funding, BTW:

what mean post made you post your post
Which mean post was the straw that broke the poster's back.
Yes, she had post partum depression AND post partum psychosis. I posted on this a while back, and
it explained the two. The psychosis actually develops after the depression. Scary stuff.

girlyman hater, I think you are trolling us here.

*just kidding, but this is how you sound.


 


funny
When I first started I thought I heard "bologna amputation" instead of below-knee amputation.

thats funny
That is funny, you are right!! Daycares are better than boarding schools.    And I also agree that not everyone is cut out to be a stay at home mom.  On the other hand, not everyone is cut out to be a daycare provider and that is what the good parents have to worry about. 
OH HOW FUNNY
Thank you for the best laugh I have had all week!!!!!!  I am cracking up!!!!!!
SO FUNNY
I don't even work for MQ.  you think only some people can use BIG LETTERS in their posts?  CRACK ME UP!  I am just another MT who is TIRED of hearing all the constant complaining.  THANKS
That's funny! THank you!!
.
Now that's funny!
ROTFLMAO. Hope my husband doesn't catch me.
Way too funny! I had one doc that said:

Patient states, "I feel like s--t!"  I called my boss and said "I'm sorry, I cant type that in there." 


I used to work for an old cranky country doc that actually dictated the chief complaint as:  "Doc my b--ls are killing me."  I told him when I turned in the completed report that I had changed the chief complaint to:  Patient complains of testicular pain.  He just laughed and said, "That's why I hired ya!"


oh, funny!!!

Those, too! What's really funny is when

you confront an MT who is putting exactly 200 extra spaces at the end of each and every report and they are just DUMBFOUNDED that they are there. They have no clue as to how they could be getting there. So it stops. Then, before you know it, they are there again. Sorry, but they aren't magically putting themselves there. It's a macro, sweetums, and you're happy to be messing with "the man." Typically the same people will do it at the end of paragraphs, too, but of course with fewer spaces. Most of the time no one can see it, no one would think to look for it, but they're there.


The company I worked with called it "creating margin," aka the MT getting more money and happily shafting the facility that gets the transcription bill. Were the MTs told to not do that? Nope. They were not. Shame on the MT, and shame on the MTSOs who condone this behavior.


funny

Last year I made 56,000.  This year I stand to make slightly more.  I have my own accounts and am self-employed.  Also, I do quite a bit of pathology transcription locally.  I have done rad also in my time.  I am getting ready to get my CMT.  You don't have to go to school for this.  As a matter of fact, many that do go to school know less than I do, as a lot of schools don't teach what they should these days.  It is just a basic fact.  Whether you go to school or not doesn't make you a good MT.  It is your work ethic and level of committment and actual experience on the job. 


Also, you sound so immature in your posts like you are really mad because someone can be successful at MT w/o going to school.  How silly is that? 


funny you should ask -
It all started with MQ's chapstick (got rid of it).  Then, I tried some short of Chap stick - with extra moisture, worked for a while, then back to what it was after MQ's chap stick.  Think I will try what I was using before this all happened or plain Vasolene and see how that works and lots of water.   I am thinking my lips might be reacting to the sun block in the chapsticks.  I just got scared when I read malignant or premalignant condition - WOW!
And what is TOO funny is. . .

The idiots in the SUVs that have 4-wheel drive that pass you doing 70 in a blizzard.  Oh yeah, like it isn't SNOWING!  Hello? And your 4-wheel drive is designed to get you slowly out of mud, snow, etc., not race down the highway in a snowstorm.


I used to work 20 miles away down a major highway (45 mph speed limit).  I saw a total of 12 vehicles off the road in the snow last year in one week. All of them were 4-wheel drive SUVs.  Some had flipped over and landed roof side down.  Fortunately nobody had serious injuries, but these SUVs would just fly by my little car and leave me in total "white out".


I still don't get it how people who buy these hugh monsters think they are oblivious to snow.  It's slippery even if you're walking or driving a military issue Hummer.


Too funny... maybe he got bit (nm)
