    Well, you're a rare one... mostly I get newbies demanding I hire them...sm
    for a variety of reasons- because I really-really-really want this job, because I have to work at home to take care of my kids/mother/handicapped sister/old dog, because how can I get experience if you DON'T hire me, etc. etc. Most can't pass a grammar test to show they can use effect/affect effectively, and some even reply with emails riddled with typos and sloppy work. So good for you, but you're about one in a million...sad to say
    Skip it. No one cares. Either you're good on the test or you're not.

    Good one. An anonymous poster blows another anonymous poster's head off. Great win for MQ?

    I guess that is a small pleasure for those of you who have lowered your expectations for the company you work for. 


     


    Bet you're married to a fat bald guy too. 


    really, no one cares, we're all tired at times. NM
    you could lighten up and not humiliate. it's not necessary, in all fairness and kindness.
    Yeah, you're right. Who cares who licenses your software? Heck, I use all pirated software anyw

    why pay for anything, right?


    Except that is AGAINST THE LAW!!!

    Wrong! Not a Spheris employee. Blank is a deficiency no matter how you look at it. Supervisors are just that, almighty and then some. It was just strange that all of the sudden she totally stopped emailing any and all of us with the corrected report and went through the supeeee. All I can figure is someone didn't like what she did or had to say and reported her to the supeeeee. With that said, I can comment that in rec'g her corrected copies, I did notice some areas where it's that situation where you need to be flexible. She used, yes, believe it or not, a : (colon) for military time......not! She would actually change this on our reports. I don't think so. There is your way, my way, the correct way, and the flexible way. Military time does not have a colon, nor does it have a.m., p.m. or o'clock following that time. So yes, I did question that and of course, no response from the per say, QAer, but the super said most do not. Most? What do you mean most? No colons whatsoever. Am I wrong here or is this a preference?
    right, but everyone on here is ANONYMOUS
    I don't know you, you don't know me, I thought this board was about helping others.
    I don't know what the big deal is. I guess people either get irritated if someone is making more than them? I don't mind at all, I want everyone to get what they deserve while also loving their job.
    I don't want to get screwed, however, and have no one else to ask! and I didn't ask anyone else's salary, I just asked if mine was appropriate to ask for!!!
    I'm not anonymous, I named myself.
    I just want my post removed.
    ummm, the anonymous post below
    gives her actual instructions. I tried them and they worked. Thanks!
    Too physically demanding
    That is the reason I put when I quit a standing all day/heavy lifting job in bank operations after a few months. And it was true, too. I was dog tired and not good for anything after my 4-5 hour shift of standing, walking, bending, and heavy lifting, most of which I didn't know was involved when taking the job.

    Avoid the "hostile work environment" excuse. Potential employers will think you are the troublemaker. Sad but true.
    Well, then I am gonna be more demanding
    as some of these posts seem to be. There is not 1 single person that I know of, have ever known of, probably will ever know of that has a company pay them to come into the office to work. If a traveling salesman, I could see that but more likely a company could hire plenty of others who are glad to show up and have a job rather than thinking it was their place to pay for gas. I still find that post AMAZING.
    It seems like a lot, but I have demanding clients
    who don't telecommute, so I have to drive 44 MI each day to pick up and drop off.  I have to print the original note and any copies, print envelopes.  If they call and need something ASAP, I am expected to drop everything and type and fax it to them.  If I am out sick or on vacation, I am not permitted to subcontract it out to another MT.  It sits until I get back and then I am expected to work extra hours to make up the work.  There are only a couple of MT's, who work from home, and we are supposd to complete dictation for 9 Drs/NP's in 24 hr turnaround.  Also, I am supposed to abbreviate as much as possible to cut down costs. 
    Jealousy, bitterness over an anonymous MT poster who SAYS

    they are going to be a friggin doctor but has time to post here?   Hardly.  Let's keep it real here.  How does one develop "doctor envy" for an MT who posts on MT Stars or who SAYS they are successful.  That's just plain BS and you know it doncha?  Who are you trying to kid.  Bwaaaaahaaaaaa


    Picture this.  A doctor wannabe who obviously should be in pre med classes and at the very least making money for her education is on MT Stars posting.  Yeah right.  And I am jealous?   What planet do you spend most of your time on?


     


    Do you follow the BOS when you test? Are you demanding too
    s
    "Suggesting" is entirely different from demanding a set shift.
    x
    sticking your neck out? i'm alone? your a friggin anonymous poster on an MT board not CIA.
    How do you know I am STILL (caps lady MQ apologist strikes again?) alone? Truth be told, you don't know anything and are whistling in the dark using bunches of words that say nothing and pretending you know something, which you obviously do not. You are scary.
    Cute. Now you have taken to analyzing people as an anonymous poster on a MT board.
    On a Sunday morning, doncha have something better to add to the world?
    They find it more productive to complain on anonymous message boards
    I don't get it either.
    Motel housekeeper when I was 16. That was a physically demanding and disgusting
    job. The supervisor was always riding us to clean faster, but we made less money if we got the job done in fewer hours. Why on earth would we work faster to clean a room in 20 minutes or less just so they could pay us less?

    Anyway, it was a nasty job. The things people do in motel rooms were often immoral and illegal. I had teenaged boys on a soccer team throwing condoms at me. People used to rent rooms to party, get drunk, do drugs, and other things. They left behind pornography and other things an innocent 16 y.o. had never even seen before.

    Then this adult male "guest" was wandering down the hallway in just a pair of shorts. We were supposed to help the "guests" so I asked if he had misplaced his room key. He pulled his shorts off and came after me. I grabbed a bottle of acid to spray him in the eyes and called security, but the cops never found him. He had overturned the bed in his room and set up a pup tent in there. What a weirdo. I quit that same week because the housekeeper supervisor was a shrew. She's still there 20 years later. Never had any motivation to do anything else, I guess. That job taught me how to clean thoroughly and quickly, but also taught me that I would never be anyone's grunt.
    Don't forget Marilyn Monroe for being too demanding of the president.
    Subversives, all of them! LOL
    Supervisors aren't reachable through anonymous message boards. You have to actually write them or
    call them at work. 
    Send him a certified letter with bill demanding payment within
    within five days from receipt (make it RRR). You have your proof that you notified him. If it is not picked up or signed for, you have your proof that occurred to. All these things go in your favor when trying to collect money. that's just a starter. I would never have let him get away with it this long. Once would have been it.
    Heck, coding is complex, but definitely FINITE and physically non-demanding. sm
    Typing can get to you, physically. And coding has SO many resources, catalogs, books, online resources. Once you understand the concepts and rules, it's kinda like playing a card game, and not that difficult. I think MT is way more demanding, mentally.
    Gack! Is nursing your idea or his? Nursing is highly demanding and long hours.

    I'd check with a college counselor/advisor on programs they have for women over 30 to return to academia and enter new careers.  Then I'd ask to take some career tests to see what your interests are and what you'd be be suited for.  Also, there is scholarship money available for women over 30.  Ask about it.  


    Since I've already raised my kids, I'd also like to state that jr. high and high school are the years our kids need us at home the most.  Those are the years they can get into the most trouble if left to themselves.  If he's already 9, why not just enter college part-time to finish in about 6 to 7 years?  But definitely go talk to a college counselor.


    B. No and E. Who cares. nm

    No and Who Cares.

    Who cares really...I mean is this.....
    really important?  I can tell you that my life is no different now than before.  I agree with the other poster...if it will pay off the mortgage or make a payment then I will care, otherwise, NO!
    who cares, he is...

    Who really cares, Jay? sm
    Are you the same Jay who used to be so vocal AGAINST the AAMT and offshoring and you are now their biggest fan?  Well, that says a lot about you, doesn't it?  Cheerleader #1!!!  The AAMT failed it's biggest test.  Defending and protecting the AMERICAN MT.  Then, let's have the annual convention in Hawaii, when a lot of us, Jay, are making a lot less money than we used to. We don't have the money to go to Hawaii, Jay.  Get the picture?  At any rate, whatever floats your boat.  The AAMT is bogus.  Maasalamah!!!
    Nobody cares who the MVP is..
    Take this nonsense somewhere else...PLEASE!
    yea, right...NOT...he cares nothing about u...nm

    Who cares how old it was
    it is STILL happening!!!! That's the point. You just don't get it, do you. Well, you never will then. Good bye! Have to go!!!
    Maybe it's not where OP is from. Who cares

    Nobody but us cares.

    And if nobody cares.... sm
    Why should you? :D
    Kids are demanding and so is MT work. My question is how CAN you do this with kids, rather than how
    When you have two young kids, 11 months apart, (like I stated they are now 4 and 5) and have been doing this since they were born with no help from their father and no family around, YES, the kids get neglected. Part time might work but living on one salary, part time, is not an option. How can you possible tell me that anyone with two young kids can stay at home and work a full-time, 8-hour shift, and still give their kids the attention they NEED. I dont care how good you are at multitasking and how great your organizational skills are. It is a very difficult thing to do. And I am offended by your post making it sound as if it is easy to do.

    I do agree that it can depend on how well your kids behave and how well they are able to play on their own. But my kids were not able to play well on their own. They needed constant attention.

    So please take the time to realize that there are people out there in different situations than your own.

    Reading our posts should help you to understand that everyone has a different situation. I believe everyone should have the right to shares their experiences as it might benefit the original poster in her questions and concerns.

    I dont think anyone should be bashed for taking the time out to write about their experiences. I dont usually come on here to argue but you really ticked me off with your post. And try reading the post correctly. I said next time around I would have put them in day care. What I DID do with them was set them up to an activity like art or put on a movie for them. Geez.
    awwww who CARES?????
    That person probably has 10 kids of their own.  Who cares????  If you can support 'em pop 'em out like a friggin rabbit for all I care.  That poster just needs some lemonade and then they will be happy, happy, happy.  Do you remember the happy, happy, happy poster?
    Dont believe me, who cares?
    How silly you are.  Dont believe me, I dont care.  MQ has been sold.  I will post again once you get the news from MQ.  I will post *I told ya so*.
    I do acute cares and can do 250...
    not sure what you mean by copy and paste. I have text Expanders and "normals" that I use that really help, they are built into Chartscript or it may be called SoftWeb and you can add all the shortcuts you want. I am trying to learn the abcdz system of short cutting.
    Who cares if you will be perceived
    as a troublemaker?  There are as many of us involved in the association as you who are disgusted with the status quo and my suggestion is that you ride it out and run for office and move the problem folks to the back burner.  Believe me, it can be done.  Women, unfortunately, allow themselves to be herded and if you don't like that notion then you have to stay and do something about it.  Things don't make sense if you don't make them make sense.  If your state organization is running amuck .. report them to Modesto .. talk to Peter Preziosi directly and tell him straight out that you want action.  I think you would be very happy you chose to talk to him.
    Who cares what solicitors think!
    And if they think you are cranky, then maybe they won't have the nerve to stop by!! Solicitors are so annoying!!! I say, get a sign, "NO SOLICITING!"
    who even cares anymore what the BOS says?
    not me!
    Ok. GET A LIFE! Nobody cares about JLG.

    im sorry, you think Obama cares about MTs?
    yea, right. im sure all the politicians do, but newsflash Obama as a president is NOT healthy for small businesses

    bottom l ine there needs to be a standardized MT industry, but nobody steps up to the plate to create it. The general public has no idea you think? You think they'd like it if their medical records were being done overseas? not so sure most would... they just dont KNOW it. who fights for us anyway?
    No one really cares what your typing.

    Don't you get it and even if they did they wouldn't know what they are reading anyway.  Furthermore, there is something called minimize!!! It's on your screen, check it out some time, it actually minimizes the screen so no one can read your important secret information. 


    It amazes me how people can jump on here and just judge away and sit back and think they are just so above everyone else.  No one cares, get it?


    Thats the biz.. part of the reason why not everyone can or cares

    Love Elton... Who cares (sm)
    what he does in the privacy of his own home & life? I never saw such narrow minded people. Remember the story about glass houses... Watch someone may cast a stone to you! Lets just hope nothing you do will SHOCK anyone. Just disgusted with this conversation. Be happy for him. Life is short to spend it alone!!
