I am looking at IC jobs and most require Word 2000 or above. I have a Dell computer and it came with WP. I need the full version, not an upgrade. Does anyone know of any deals online? or is it best to go somewhere like Staples?
TIA

MQ was a good place to work
I have been with them for 6 years and before that with another company. I have been extremely happy working for MQ; but too many things are changing and it is a very uncomfortable feeling. I wish I still had my old office to work from but unfortunately I have no say.
I might be checking out the grass on the other side to see if it is really any greener. What do I have to lose? I am no longer happy.
I wish you well and hopefully your office won't be closed and you are transferred into unfamilar territory.
Need a good place to get ink cartridges.
I have been ordering my HP ink cartridges for Office Depot. The expense is getting out of hand, and the ink does not last any time at all. Does anyone have any ideas? Walmart seems to be higher than Office Depot. I have gotten burned before ordering from some place online. The cartridges were an off brand, and although they said they would, they would not work in our printers.
Where's a good place to find curtains?
My new office is ready to paint and decorate, so I want to get everything ordered. They didn't have anything I liked at eBay, K-Mart or Shopko. Any ideas?
Be very careful!!! Does not sound like a good place to go. nm

Any MTSO find a good place for their own website?
I recently received a quote for a local web design company, and it was close to $1,000! I don't have that kind of money. I would just like somewhere to tell a little bit about myself and the services I offer to Physicians.
Thanks!
Very nice around there. Good place to chill, hmm, mentally that

Not a sightseeing place but for a good lobster meal, sm
Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier, Kittery Point, ME.
You bring your own cocktails, appetizers, tablecloth. It is creekside, very casual, parts are open air and parts under a tent. You pick your lobster, they cook and bring to your table. Just fabulous, just get there early because parking is limited.
New Hampshire, there is no sales tax on liquor.
Just driving up the coast of Maine is fabulous.
Have fun!
Good place to search for doctor names?

Sounds like a good place, where you work! BTW: the other 2 posts are not mine
Somebody is cloning my username now and posting. Guess on a board like this anyone can troll. So, I guess I will change my username again, so as not to be taken the wrong way. Wow, people really have a lot of time on their hands!
Gotta find a good place to live. My kids play outside.
They know to come in when the street lights flicker on.
Strength in numbers though. I'd never let one of my kids go to the playground on the next street over by themselves, but my parents never let any of us wander off too far by ourselves either. It was always with a bunch of other kids.
A good place to get reasonable, objective info regarding ADHD is CHADD
just keep it in mind for the future. www.chad.org. Also there are some informative videos at coolnurse.com. About 10 videos regarding ADHD. you will have do a search on the site but it's worth it. If it's in her father's family it could be possible that she has it, and if so, you needed to get educated about it and be her advocate. School systems respond very well to confident, well prepared parents who come in to meet for a plan that allows for reasonable accomodations. I've been doing it for years.
It is only easy if everything falls into place, i.e. good docs, repetition, macros/expander -sm
This is not the norm. I average 130-175 lph, so it would take me a bit longer than 3 hours to make $100 (I am only PT now so I don't make much more than $50 a day) , and as she would be starting out fresh at a new job, probably with a national doing nothing but ESL the odds are she won't be making $100 in 3 hours.
It's the only place I have ever lived.. Great place to retire or raise a family. Low crime rate e
living is pretty easy here. Low stress..
The position varies from place to place..
Sometimes you end up doing VR, which can be really easy or a real pain. Sometimes you end up simply editing files and all is good. Other times, you end up with more job responsibilities and hours than you ever wanted. All in all better than typing LOL.
That is a good offer. Pay is not that good at UIMC. Good luck! nm

You, well you have obviously put ME in my place
with that little lecture. Since youd didn't say anything meaningful to respond to in all that bandwidth, I won't respond to any of the content of what you said.
But just for your information, your little tyrade had no affect on the reality of what is going to happen, so get over it and get used to it.
I saw that place on TV (sm)
a lot of celebrities own there!
It is most definitely not OUR place to be
making phone calls or turning people in. The doctors and nurses are trained to do it as part of their job. If they suspect abuse, drug seeking, whatever, it is up to THEM, not us.
know your place sm
Student Rule #1: Keep your thoughts to yourself when ti comes to CEOs and your opinions. "I read a post by the CEO and felt the need to comment."
I see this is not the place to be
People are right when I have been told - not many nice people in this field. My first week coming on here to look for help and talk to other was this past week and you know what, you can have it. I will look for other places to figure out my problems with work and I suggest you look for help with your personality problems as my work problems do not require nearly the attention your personality does. Good bye and thanks for nothing.
I am not sure if you tried this place..
Did you happen to go into your closet and look for a reference book only to find the administrator of this forum smelling her finger?
I have never been to a place that does that and
would not shop at one.
Not every place is like that at all.
Not very believable.

then that's what you should have said in the first place.

And this place does?
This place makes no sense to me. People are mean here. I love cafemt. Makes the job fun.
33 yrs, 9-10 at same place.

If you get $ from this place, they sm
will not touch you with a 10-foot pole. I've been in this situation and you will be a no-rehire.
I think I used to be an IC for the same place.
I liked working there, but no time off allowed. One day an MT co-worker of mine got a headache and got in trouble for calling out that day even though she gave plenty of notice early in the morning and they had all day to distribute the work. This is when often-times there was no work at all. I left because after hearing that, I realized I would not be a true IC. Why, as an IC you are supposed to make your own schedule aren't you? And if something comes up isn't it true that you are allowed flexibility? They say it is a small company and everyone is expected to be there for them when the hospital decides to send in the overflow, yet with no notice to the IC. It was too confusing, in may ways worse than employee when at least you know when you are expected to work. Not an IC job at all. Sorry for your experience, but I and many others I know have had the same experience.
not if you get it from the right place
I have bought 2 refurbished computers & both were screaming deals.
I got my desktop from the Dell online outlet & am using it as we speak. I got my laptop from Costco.com & I also still use it every day for personal stuff. They are both going on 5 yrs since my purchase and worked perfectly when I got them & still do. They both cost about half of what brand-new ones would have cost.
Most times "factory-refurbished" means that you also get a manufacturer's warranty -- but not always. I got 1-year warranties on both of mine; Dell also offered an extended warranty purchase at the time I ordered it, which I did get. Some of theirs are refurbished, some are "scratch & dent" or "open box" - which means customer return, but virtually new.
Costco offers a 1-year warranty also. They don't always have a huge number in stock so you may have to keep checking until they have what you want. There are some online sites selling refurbished computers but most have only a 3-month warranty.
I think both sites take trade-ins as well.
Mine are both getting a little old feature-wise, but still work well enough for my purposes, so I suppose I will drive both until the wheels fall off.

Best place you've ever worked for and why . . .
If you do not want to give the company name, just give the reasons why you like or liked your company. What keeps us gals happy around here?
Your school should be the first place you go
for job-placement assistance. At the very least, they should be able to tell you what employers seek to hire their graduates. In the case of schools such as M-Tec and Andrews, many employers will waive the two-year experience requirement for their graduates because of the high quality of their education and their reputation for turning out job-ready MTs. Some employers will also waive the experience requirement for Career Step graduates, as well. Perhaps there are employers who hire graduates of your school without experience. Your school should be able to give you a lead on employers who have hired their graduates. In any event, any reputable MT school will provide job-placement assistance to their graduates.
franks place
It is at the MQ site, click on Qnet. There is a column ask frank where you can send him emails.

And it is my place -- I work for MQ too and
if you don't like it and it isn't changing for you like you want it as quick as you want, get out!
I think all those who are happy with MQ are getting tired of hearing your same old sad story all the time.
If you can't change the company (duh, who thought they could) and it still doesn't suit ya, get out! Leave! Believe me, we don't want you there! You are free to go!
About MQ-A great place to be
I worked for MQ for 7 years and then left to work for another MT Company, thinking I would be better off. To make a long story short, after 3 months I am back with MQ and very happy to be back where I belong. The grass always looks greener, as they say, and when I compare my experience of the last 3 months to my 7 years with MQ, there is no comparison. I have seen messages about no work in certain offices, especially Amherst, but our office seems to be doing well. They are also organized and very considerate to deal with. You can be sure that problems exists with any of these services. Some MTs are hired and then never hear another word from the company. A friend of mine was told she would have a job when the equipment was updated and that was 4 months ago. They are still giving her the run around. So, let's not assume that MQ is the only one with problems; in this business they exist all over. As for me, I am very happy with MQ and hope to be there at least 7 more years.
that's the first place mine went, too (sm)
figured it was some lame troublemaker...sorry! But, made me laugh! 
Only place to buy RAM is from Crucial.com.
They will tell you what is compatible with your system and it is guaranteed for life. 512 RAM chip from them is about $71.00, so you really did not save much. And they provide all the tech support you need for installing or problems.
Horrible place
I would not recommend it 
a place to start
http://federalgovernmentjobs.us/
Then, look at your state jobs (I know, in California, there are lots of listings for MTs working for the prison system. Which criminals do you prefer, the ones we're working for now; well, yeah, inside or outside! ), or go through your employment development department (where there are links to government jobs and state jobs). 
ask the place you work for

We have a place like that in town. sm
It's a teeny little grocery store and their prices used to be off the wall because they were owned by a big grocer (IGA). I never shopped there for anything but meat as it is cut right at the store while you wait or it's fresh in the cooler.
When big Wally World decided to build the Superstore the teeny grocery store decided to buy out from IGA and named it their own market. The prices there now are even cheaper than Wally World and I no longer shop anywhere else. What used to cost $75.00 at the local market costs about $30 because they got rid of the "middle man."
They had to save themselves and they did. I can actually walk there if need be and sometimes I should as the teeny parking lot is usually packed full. The checkout girl (or girls if it's busy) don't wear name tags because we know them. They go to school with our kids. It's like, "Hi Megan, still playing soccer?"
Good for them.

Home is the place
for me. Worked for years in office, then was IC for approx 8 years, loved that and the $$$ was great. Lost my major account to EMR but stayed on for awhile inhouse doing some data entry for EMR system, until I found something else. Now I work for a large national at home. Not as great as being IC..but I'm a pretty fast typist and money is twice as much as in-office data entry position (although not as good as IC), plus no commute (big plus since I live in the country with the price of gas now) no office politics, no uniforms, etc. I have a friend in that office and we get together once a month, after every visit I count my blessings that I'm at home! There are good points and bad points to both options, you just need to evaluate your priorities and pick what works for you.
In my opinion, I would think it would be their place
I've been told you don't have to tell them anything, but if asked I would tell them how I feel. I feel if an employer cares at all, he'd ask if there was anything he could do to get one to stay...at that point, you can say yes or no. But at least he showed enough interest to ask. We aren't talking about a short-term employee, you know..
Did she steal them or just buy them and have no place
