When you turn 18 here in Oregon....sm

Posted By: Carly d on 2006-07-12
In Reply to: Since when does the child support go directly to the kids? lol! - nm

the check automatically gets sent to the child by the state. My husband has paid over $1000 a month in support for over 8 years, now down to $700 a month because one child dropped off at 21. All CS is now a garnishment, so the state cuts a check. When the support obligation ends whoever is paying the support has to notify the court that the child has turned 21 or whatever age is in the divorce decree and then the court will issue an end to the child support. My husband's decree says to age 21 and they must be attending college full-time, at least 14 credits. If my step-daughter doesn't carry 14 credits for even one term the support ends and she has to petition to get it back, but only if her dad agrees to it.

Just turn it off and wait for the electricity to dissipate and then clean it and turn it back on. nm

Turn down such low low offers, turn industry around. sm
The way to figure is how many lines an hour do you do. There are 13 lines characters in a line (65 line length)
So say you TRY to average 4 pages an hour say 34 lines a page equal 139 lines, times your line rate.
139 X 4 cents a line = $5.56 an hour

and what if you don't do 4 pages even less.

MTing hourly hourly output is not very predictablel, so ya never know and predict what you can put out each hour.
THE WAY TO TURN THE INDUSTRY AROUND IS TO SPEAK UP, SAY 'NO' THAT IS TOO LOW AND GIVE SHORT EXAMPLE.

If the MTs continue to accept, that is what the going rate will continue to be. Yes, Yes, it will. Just keep looking. Email for general lowest to highest line rate prior to testing and resume, just say it saves time on both sides and it DOES. Why waste time. Soon, the message will get out there.
Turn off puter, wait a min, turn on with delete key pressed down, then hit delete key NUMEROUS times

Is this TRX, Inc., in Oregon? If so..
run away! The owner is a lunatic!
TRX, inc. in Oregon

I work for TRX, inc. out of Oregon.  I'm very happy with the company, their respect for the MTs and how they treat their people.  Not sure what the other person is talking about.  I've never heard of or had a bad experience with them.  I would highly recommend this company.  They're one of the few that are trying to train new MTs in our profession as well as trying to keep the experienced MT.  Good luck to you and please use your own judgement. :) 


Oregon
Electric was $23 and gas was $17 -- 1000 sq foot house on the river.  Guess I won't complain, don't have a/c -- just fans but I can deal with the heat.  Highest bill this last winter was over Christmas with Christmas lights, cold -- gas $87 and electric $67. Work at home also.  I think I will stay where I am. 
In Oregon

The problem that people are having in Oregon is that the owners of the park are selling the land to developers and suddenly the people have to move their mobile home which sometimes costs more than the land is worth.  So that is one problem we have been having here.  Condo might be better if you don't want a lot of maintenance.

If you are in Oregon
Providence Health Systems is just now switching over to Escription- I'm a little leery of it, I hope it ends up being as great as they say. I am a confirmed mouseaholic and really struggling with it.
Oregon salaries
I am tired of being called a liar that I embelish my income, etc.  So I just called 10 MT's out here in Oregon that I have known for quite a while and they all hit between 45 and 60K this year.   Of course we do all the accounts that you a lot of you don't like to do which involve pick-up, delivery, printing, the smaller one to two doctor offices, being friendly and interactive with the staff.  And we keep our line charge lower that a lot of you like and some of you have told me that I am bringing the MT world down by working for this amount -- we all charge between 10.5 to 12.5 cpl using Sylcount.  Through all of this, and none of us work more than 45 hours per week -- me I am the highest, most work 30 to 35 hours, we have made the money and so I guess we are doing something right.  To those that say we are padding our incomes --I think you are all jealous and just don't have the umph to go out and do it.  And yes, we have ESL's and some work  hospital overflow, surgical center, Wound Clinic, clinics, psych reports.   There are other niches out there --ya gotta have the drive and the umph to go and get them.   
Live in Oregon...

and I had bilateral cataracts done about 2 years ago.  I had no insurance and had to pay for the whole thing myself.  Including absolutely everything (even anesthesiology) it was right around $7000, but I have a feeling it depends on what state you live in.  I have to tell you though it is definitely worth it...my eyes were in terrible shape and I had to get it done or lose my driver's license...afterward (and I had worn glasses all my life) I only need the reading-type of glasses you get at the drug stores.  It is so awesome!!!


Good luck!


Oregon -- really varies

11 t0 14 cpl small MTSO   12 to 18 large MTSO.  Really varies around here and also depends on whether you deliver, print, or all by digital.


 


 


Oregon too...$160 last month....
everything electric, no A/C (live in the Coast Range, don't really need it) but have an electric fence that is always on to keep the horses in and the usual appliances, etc. It was only $63 for May, but we were gone on vacation for the month so no hot water use, etc. Got an energy efficient washer and dryer a couple of months ago, has really helped out the bill too.
Oregon weather
It is cold in the morning but dry and sunny throughout the day up to about 50.  Beautiful on the river.  Know that our wet weather is coming soon though.  Gotta run and make deliveries. 
Oregon in house
Oregon,Portland is 18.41 to 22 per hour with good benefits and they will move you home after six months of training, but you do have fixed hours to work just at home. 
Here in Oregon -- Comcast and what we did
I live on a floating home here in Portland and several of us were having that problem with Comcast and it was because the wiring or the cables were old and going bad.  Enough of us complained and I went pretty high up to complain and they finally rewired or re-cabled and now have not had a problem in over 3 years.  You need to keep complaining, call for a repair man to come out, keep your repair sheets with why they came out, and even if it goes back up get the repair guy out to check things out.  The cost of sending them out is quite high for them.  But keep calling and complaining, an squeeky wheel does get oiled.  I was very nice at first, then started calling locally and losing it a little bit I did get results.  
When I subbed in Oregon, my MTSO SM

charged $6 a page and paid me $4 a page...I thought that was awesome!  Good luck to your friend.

Satellite recommendations - Oregon

I'd appreciate any recommendations from folks living in central or north-central Oregon and using satellite for transcription.  Thanks!


I am the 26th from Oregon to sign.

turn it down some more
We usually keep it at 67 in the winter, 78 in the summer, but this winter will move it to 64 or 65 during the day and probably cooler at night. We live down south so that's not that bad. If we lived up north those thermostat settings would cost us way too much money! I remember keeping it low to stretch out the heating oil a little bit more. Good luck to all of you up there.
had to turn them down
I got a job offer from them, but I only have been in this business for about 9 mos now, so all they could offer me was their mentoring program at 6.5 cpl. they have a mandatory 12-week training program which sounds great for the all the feedback and communication. However, the biggest drawback for me (besides the paycut) was that after you become an employee you have to SIGN a piece of paper statng that you will stay employed with them for 1 year following their training, and no chance of any raise until 6 mos after you sign on. Too many negatives for my life right now.
why not turn it into a little bit ot fun for you?
When I get that call from India (where they usually insist they are calling from one of the states), I assume a very thick accent and ask questions.

Why, suga, you don't know my nahim? I cuda sworn I gave it to ya laest tyme! Tell you whayat...let me talk to someone without an Indyian accent who can hear me, wontcha do thayat for me, hunnee?

There is always the northeast accent.

Yo, youse want my name? For wat? Wyse do youse think I wanna talk to you today? Eh? Whatcha gonna do 'bout it, eh? You're in New York? Get Out! Me too! You uptown or midtown? Which rail you ride to work?

They usually hang up at that point pffttt!! :}
Can you turn off

the abbreviation Expander in Bayscribe?  I use ShortHand and have to do that in ChartScript.  SH works great when I do that. 


I should have also said we are to turn off
the automatic numbering because it also causes problems for our software.
Turn down
the hate volume. Going to pop a cork!

Tell your supervisor to talk to the QA person about excessive nagging. Do something about it.
Turn off
Any screensavers you may have set to start.

Ctrl+Alt+Del will start task manager, where you can see any programs or processes that are running.


you can also turn off
While you're there, UNcheck the *allow indexing service* box. If you need to find a file on your computer, use Google Desktop. The chances of having to search for something by suffix are slim, not worth the performance cost of allowing indexing. If you need to do this, run it while you're asleep.
Yes it is something I can turn off...sm
When I come on the message board or am sendng emails to friends, I don't sit there and take the time to do everything "proper" and all. I do things "proper" all day. I proofread all day. When I come on here I am not worried about my message if it isn't perfect. I know proper English but sometimes you just get tired of being so perfect all day. I can and do turn it off and when I need it turn it on.
What a TURN-OFF

Who in their right mind would apply?  Maybe its our good friend Tonya at 6 cpl again...


my turn!

Okay - here's my reply - Your turn!
You really are in serious need of psychiatric attention/medication, but I have a life to lead and am leaving you to post your reply and move on with your delusional life.

Awaiting your witty and egocentric reply! :)
Okay, here's my posting. Your turn!

Maybe your multitude of friends you go out socializing with aren't available today and that's why you're trolling MT boards on Saturday afternoon?


Saturday's my day off and I come to these boards to check in. I no longer do MT because I saw what happens to people who have no life away from their computer. I have a career outside the home and have people to talk to that aren't behind a monitor wolfing down a bag of Cheetos. You're a perfect example.


Now, before your imaginary entourage of social butterflies stops by to take you to the country club, hurry up and post your angry response. This is actually amusing, and makes me so glad that I don't have to deal with the mentally ill on message boards to take up time before my next shift.


I have better things to do than argue with the socially retarded, but do enjoy the board today and have fun! Clearly that's all you have. 


Actually, if you did turn around and sell

the computer and stole the SS numbers, don't you think you would be arrested and maybe go to jail or even be fined. 


Sure, ya could, but would ya!


Go turn on the TV then and leave us alone
without your almight permission.
Turn it off and unplug everything!
No NEVER! I believe at MQ if you lose your equiptment because you left it plugged in during a storm, they won't pay to replace it. Atleast that is what I was told a few years back. Needless to say, they used to send out e-mails saying this is thunderstorm season and make sure you unplug both your computer AND your phone lines if a storm approaches!
turn off and unplug
Unplug from the wall, even your protector, and be sure to unplug your phone line if you use one for the computer, your router if you have one, or your high speed modem. The surge protectors fail. We have one that was nearly 200. and during a storm it got fried along with the tv that was plugged to it.
In turn, I agree with you. LOL!
Now, granted, my first response today was a bit testy, but I was not calling names in the other topic and I wanted to make that particular point clear. :)

Everyone has to make their own moral and ethical decisions in life, and just because someone makes a different decision than mine does not mean they're an evil person or deserve to be insulted, called names, aspersions cast on their character, etc. It does NOT necessarily mean that I'm going to remain silent and reserve my opinion on the issue, though.

Decisions with an element of risk are made every day, and most of them turn out fine. I'm not comfortable with drinking on the job and would not employ anyone I discovered doing it, but if someone else is, then that's their choice and may they never regret it.
So how many lines did it turn out to be?

Well technically they can't turn it off here unless the

Turn the tables
This is why I don't like working at home (and don't anymore). In person, you can use facial expressions and tone of voice, and take them totally by surprise. What you do when they accuse you of something is squint your eyes a little, turn your head a bit as if wondering what on earth they are talking about, with just the slightest hint that you might be questioning their sanity. Then you calmly explain what actually happened. When they fail to apologize, you kind of lean forward, turn your head a little, make a forehead frown, and ask something like, "Is there some reason you thought I might have done something like that? Sometimes it seems almost like you are questioning my ethics ..." and you look very calm, but concerned about them. This usually causes them to stammer and backpedal in a most satisfying way. :oD

i think I'm going to turn the position down
because something just doesn't feel right about it.  I can't find current info on them and nobody's is posting anything but making it mandatory for me to be signed in to i.m. and mandatory for me to check my email when I'm not working (nights and weekends) I think is a little bizarre.  I've worked as an ic for many years and have never heard of that. 
I turn off every night.

Turn-around-time...that's what you are looking for.
Yes, 3x TAT is good.
Okay, here's my posting - your turn

Turn-around Time (nm)

Turn around time

My husband had an evaluation on 5/8 with a referral to a radiologist for an epidural. I called this office today and was told that it usually takes up to 8 days for the referring doctor to send the consult and then several weeks to schedule the injection. My problem is that it takes up to 8 days to send the consult - the radiologist is in the same practice, a doorway away.


Does HIPPA regulate turn around time?


How a pain management doctor's office can delay the care of a patient who is in obvious pain is beyond me. Does this sound fair to you?


Thanks, Barb


 


 


So why turn your kids into that, as well? nm

turn her into an artist...
I hated that my preschool daughter was going to be watching so much TV, when I got an idea. She liked to draw, so I would sit her down to watch her favorite cartoons, and tell her you can only watch these if you will draw them for me, so I can look at them later with you. I'd leave a big stack of drawing paper,pens, colored pencils, paints, and she'd get totally engrossed. So every TV show or cartoon she watched, she had to illustrate it for me. Or sometimes she wouldn't even be in front of the TV, just sitting next to me on the computer, drawing me, the cat, whatever. These days, she's 14 and has won some awards for her art work. All kids are creative in some way. Find out what they like to create. Good luck!
I have too been scared to turn them in....sm
Some reports just have to have some blanks if you aren't clear what they are saying. But it still makes you feel like you are like you are just not adequate and you hate to send it in. You know, also they may want to see if you are gonna guess to try to figure it out and guessing is worse than the blank. When you aren't familiar with a doctor to begin with and he is slurring and unclear they can't expect you to just know what he is saying.
