Except in February.  Dang it's cold in February.


Seriously though, I don't lock my doors and if I need to find the car keys, they're in the ignition.


The way I see it, if them fools need thaht cah baahd enuff, might's well let 'em go ahead and have it.

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..
If you want to live in a place where cows
roam the streets, raw sewage flows down the gutters, women are property and treated as such you go ahead and move to India and see just have far ahead of us they are. 
Hope these degenerates live in the same place.sm
San Francisco, I assume. If there are that many everywhere, I am getting the hell outta here.
Where I live we call it "casing the place".

i know the price and value of most things. i am NOT a bigot. i know if you live in a place that is
Because a trailer park is cheaper housing you get a lot of uneducated people living there who make trailer park living undesirable for most. That is why people make fun of trailer park trash. I am not tearing down anyone. You live where you are comfortable but I would not be comfortable in a trailer park having to defend my style of life and along with my lifestyle, I would be defending the whole trailer park whose lifestyle I may not admire. Bigot schmigot. Trailer park quality of life and conditions in many trailer parks are fact and you choose to ignore it or call people bigots who bring it to others attention.
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.


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.
eBay is a great place for used...
equipment, and that's where I got my C-phone.  They are also sometimes available in the classifies here on the board.  Good luck!
Great place to work! sm

They are very helpful and encouraging and give you plenty of time to get up to speed.  I have been with other national companies and they are the best.  You'll be happy there! 



That's a great place to start...
The majority of Escription accounts I have been offered started are anywhere from 2.5 cpl (insulting) to a max of 4 cpl. So I'd say take it..
Scriberight is a great place!
I've been working there for a while now, and I love it there. We are on EMR system now and it's fantastic. I've never found Lisa to be anything short of wonderful. I really can't recommend them enough.
I agree. It's a great place to work,
most places are very slow around the holidays. And the owner is a great lady.
Transcend is a great place to work
I can't believe all this negativity! I just love my job with Transcend. From the recruiter to my TL and ROM every single thing I have been promised has happened! I'm very happy! Yes, you do have to produce - but what MLS position don't you? Transcend also gives you the tools you need to succeed and will help you get better, faster and making more $. Stop bashing this company! They truly are awesome!!!! And the promote from within! They are so big on internal growth!!!!
Either way, you're in the wrong place. sm
Please read your own message. You made two errors when you neglected to take out two headers not needed, IMO. I don't mean to be rude, but you said it yourself.
Myrtle Beach is a GREAT place for a vacation

See inside web site. GREAT place for all equipment!

(Actually, Company-Board isn't that great a place to look for jobs -
No mssg.
Aye, we're between a rock and a hard place.
I don't know that I'm willing to pay the price anymore. If I can make more money but my capacity for happiness is being slowly crushed out of me, eventually I have to decide whether it's worth it.

The fact that practically nobody is paying a living wage in a given town is another problem entirely, and one that I could rant for days about.
I know which testing place you're talking about, and I won't
test through them either. Most of the bigger nationals go through them now, don't they? The way I feel about it is if I didn't have what it takes to make it in this career field, I wouldn't have lasted this long. Try the smaller MTSOs. The tests are maybe 1-3 little dictation files, the workload is less stressful, and you'll make more money.
If you're going to place yourself in a caregiver role,

you need to take into consideration your support system.  You're going to need one.  I was my husband's caregiver until he had to go into skilled nursing, and it was by far more draining (physically, emotionally, spiritually) than I could have ever imagined.  I wish you the best; take care of yourself.


Try Softscript. They work with new MTs. Great place to at least get a foot in the door!

You're right about the "prehistoric" part! The place I used to work (sm)
uses Lanier, and it's a mess. It's WORSE than prehistoric. It was down more than it was up. It was also not at all friendly for at-home MTs, either.
Saugatuck, MI is great dog friendly place if you want to go N. Try Lake Shore Reality. Google em.

Great idea, but I live in town and can't have chickens. sm
Any other suggestions?
You're in or near White Plains?! I used to live there!
I wish I would have known that at the time!
You're supposed to plant them in beds and line the bed with chicken wire and then place the bulbs

on top of the wire and cover.  This keeps the critters from getting to them, but is a lot of work. 


Give it up and enjoy your vacation! They'll live w/o you for a few days.You're allowed! :) nm

Becky you work in a great place. With no one hovering, I bet you get a lot more work done w/o agoniz
wants what. The only people qualified to do QA on my reports are the dictating doctors and the rest is just pure waste of money and time. If I have a question fine. But this random QA bites and hurts everyone. BTW, I don't have random QA for those who seem to think I may have an ax to grind. No dog in this fight. Just common sense.
:o) You're welcome. Have a great day! NM

Thank you, I think you're great too! nm

If you get this as an employee, you're doing great! nm

Hey all you true ICs out there, you're great!

Loved your posts.  The other gal missed my point.  I committed myself to 25 hours a week.  Was not asked to commit to a certain number of lines, but I am continously asked for more.  I do it in the name of "teamwork," which is stressed at this company.  I understand their position, but it seems we are always behind.  Their fear is that if more people were hired then there's a chance we may run out of work for everyone.  Like I said before, I just need a little more flexibility.  I don't think as an IC that is too much to expect.  I work a regular schedule (9 to 5:30 with 1 to 1-1/2-hour lunch) and rarely take any time off except my two days now (and I was continously asked to work one of those).    Getting a vacation is another story.  It's time to move on.


Get a TOSHIBA!!! They're great!
Dell I found to be extremely limited, only 1-2 models.  Order a XP Toshiba!  $899 in Dec got me free shipping, no tax (it was a special), and a good workhorse XP with a DVD/CD multi format RW on a laptop, all the stuff I need without anything I don't. 
They're great - give 'em a try!
Nicest company I've worked for in years - respectful, patient, plenty of work and they appreciate their employees. They're a breath of fresh air.
You're doin' great, newbie! nm

Curves is great if you're just starting out
it becomes very easy very quickly and not much of a challenge, and then it's time to move on to a faster paced, more challenging fitness program.

It's a great start though if you've been out of the fitness world for a long time!
Fantasia doing just great- you're wrong..sm

All about Fantasia and what she's doing, TV, songs, etc. 


For those who think Clay was a better more soulful singer than Ruben....those people who think that..... evidently have not one soulful fiber in their body....


Gaydar is what Clay Aiken is all about......to each his/her own....


If it cranks out 500 lines/hr, that's great if you're still getting -
But if you've been bumped down to 3-4 cpl, aren't you still having to put in 7-day weeks at 12-14 hrs/day to make ends meet?
Get Momma's recipe while you're at it. Sounds great! nm

Great idea and they're pretty cheap, too!
Only about $20 or $30 at Wal-Mart.  You're one smart cookie!
You're very welcome!! I had a great time, too! Took a couple of extra BP pills!!
You have a great weekend!!!  MomMT - where did she go?? Too much cookies and milk, maybe?  Bye, Guys!!

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.
why no, i don't live in snobville. did you think you knew me? i live in heritage hills a suburb
it takes a little longer to get to work and shopping but thank god i have some privacy and am away from the congestion.  lovely trees and lakes all around.  maybe about 20 minutes to a large shopping mall.  but no, i don't even know where snobville is.
why yes the quality of air where i live is quite different than where the city people live.
Lots of pollution.  That's why everyone is moving away from the city and areas zoned for multiple housing units and low income housing and trailer parks.  Population is dense and near manufacturing.  So yes, the air is different but millions of people pay a little extra for the quality, the space and privacy afforded to those who move out of polluted crowded areas such as you defend.  There is always a reason why some areas and housing is cheaper than others.  Maybe it is the air and maybe it's something you can't quite put your finger on but you know you would prefer not to live in certain areas.  You know what I mean or are you living in one of those areas?  They tell after awhile you block out the sounds, the smells and get used to the pollution.  I don't know.  I didn't stay long enough to test the theory.  My mental and physical health is way too important to me.
