You answered somebody's inquiry

In Reply to: To Truffle - Not a mistake - Fingers

a few weeks ago about my company and it sounded as though you were a current employee. 


Hey, it's okay to vent.  I know it must be frustrating. 


I'm glad I have not had to buy a BOS 3.  That would make me mad.  They are waaaay too expensive.

inquiry

Inquiry to A Little Less
I am a bit curious. I have been in this business for a very long time and I have never found a company or service that would pay any where near $30 an hour nor let anyone achieve the lines for that rate of pay. Willing to share? Thanks.
I saw that ad also. Sent an inquiry. Never got a response.

Another Cobra inquiry
Does anyone know how long you have to be on the insurance to qualify for cobra. I did have a lapse in my prior coverage but have no pre-existing conditions so wasn't worried. Have now had the insurance at my employment about 30 days but am thinking about leaving, does anyone know if I will be eligible for Cobra?
Account inquiry. sm
I know that I should not probably ask this on this forum here, but was wondering if anyone knew which transcription service now has the Palmetto Hospital accounts out of South Carolina.  All I was told was that it went to a company that has solely ICs.  Not sure if that is true.  If you can tell me, I would appreciate it, but yet I understand why you might not be able to divulge info.  If somebody could just shoot some hints my way, maybe I could figure it out. 
USB flash drive inquiry....sm

Would someone enlighten me?  My teenager came home with a printout for a school project and the teacher wants the projects turned in one one of these keychain things.  I have no idea how to do this and if I need to buy anything extra for my PC.   How does this work?  Do you just plug it into your PC and are able to save data right onto it or are special programs needed?  The more I searched on the internet the more I couldn't figure it out.   I've already e-mailed the teacher asking that she be allowed to bring the project in on CD as we're pros at that one and I really don't want to spend a dime for some goofy teacher's request...but just in case.....   Thank you


Cost of living inquiry $1800/mo. (sm)

That's only electric, heat, cable, and mortgage.


Add in insurances, life, health, car etc. and you're talking  another $1200 more. Hubby drives a 12 year old PU truck and I drive a 13 year old car. BUT, 4 more years for our mortage...yippee....but it should have been paid off in 1991. Remortgaged so we could build a larger place. Still not finished with the house and it's been 11 years. No time, no money left over to finish. That's okay. I can deal with that.


Prior wedding inquiry update...sm

 Previously I had posted on this board  as my fiance and I were trying to figure out how to handle letting people know that we don't want any wedding gifts (we each have a house and don't need material things as we're giving away tons of stuff with merging the home) but had chosen a charity for anyone who would like to make a donation in our honor.


 My maid of honor and a couple of friends decided to host a party for us and on the invitations put on there that in lieu of gifts that we were requesting donations to a children's charity that we chose because of the reputation of spending the money wisely  and being well known for its work.  


This has gone over very well with the invitees.  I've had many of them call and e-mail me or my fiance saying that they thought this was a wonderful way for us to help others less fortunate and yet celebrate our upcoming marriage.   The charity  agreed prior to our announcement to not pester these people afterwards with mailings and is simply sending those that send a donation a thank you card, and then they're sending me a weekly list showing who made a donation and their address, but not the dollar amount as I don't care to know what they gave. 


So... for future brides that don't want gifts  I suggest doing what we did - it's a win for the charity and lets the family/friends that wanted to do something special do this in a way that we chose (and we aren't stuck with household items we don't want or need!)


Survey - inquiry minds want to know - how many lines...sm
can you normally type in a 6 hour day?  Not your highest, your average please.  I know there will be specifics, but base it on your average day, average dictator, average workload.  I am very curious to see what everyone else can do.  TIA
TENS unit inquiry minds want to know:

Just wondering if anyone has a personal experience using a TENS unit they could share.  How long do you use yours for, if you find relief that you forgot you could have, etc.  As a chronic low back pain sufferer, I’m looking forward to getting mine on Tuesday! 


Thanks


The "New Enlightenment, a Journal of Social and Metaphysical Inquiry?"
Could you please find a source that is more reliable than a bunch of loons espousing conspiracy theories? Then I'll listen.

While we're waiting, I'm going to save this site for when I need a little entertainment. Thanks! Really!


Thank you all who have answered! That's what I like...

about coming here, the diversity of answers.  You ladies (and maybe guys) have been a great help!  Thank you. 


thanks to those of you who answered
think I'll give the 5htp a try - i'm in a stressful situation and I think my depression is situational,thanks again. 
I'm sorry nobody answered you. I am sorry
for your dad, too. I have no personal experience with those exact meds; however, I am very allergic and/or intolerant to many meds, and Zantac actually does that to me - makes me an emotional mess. I am on other meds that give me GI upset, and I have to take Zantac for a few days until either my GI system calms down, or my emotions are shot. It makes me very labile. For elderly people and those with allergies or intolerances, that can be a very common side effect - also, as I'm sure you know, elderly people are hyper-sensitive to many meds and/or have bizarre reactions - not the usual warnings on label. I hope things work out - he'd probably rather have GI distress than be agitated or upset. Good luck.
I answered their ad and
So I got my own job. I have many years of experience. I went through 2 other jobs before with larger companies, then I found this one with a small company and I just love where I am at now. I did not use them at all. I don't know why they would put themselves out there and then not bother to reply.
Many thanks to all who answered!

Answered below and yes
NM
you just answered your own sm
question! you have only been doing this for a few months! Are you doing acute care or doctors office stuff that you already had been doing. There is no way with only a few months experience you can go home and work on acute care for a MT company and expect to make any money.

Same thing I have been talking about in this field forever. Too many folks want to get very little experience and then leave and "work at home" not realizing they have to have some experience.

You need to go and get some in-house experience.
thanks to all who answered
you are the best...and no sarcasm!
Curious -- Who are you asking? Someone else answered..? lol nm
..
Thanks to all who answered! I will try your suggestions. nm

We answered this the other day - The average is 3:1
1 hour of dictation will take 3 hours to "type" transcribe.
Dont know if JAM answered but....

I copied this from his/her email. 


Position the curser where you want to start, (beginning of sentence)
press F8, hit the period key. It will then highlight to the period and
you can delete.  This will work with commas also.  If you get stuck in
the mode or change your mind, just hit esc.  Just remember to hit F8,
then hit whatever key you want to highlight to, then delete.


Answered back
Again some companies do differ in amounts by the last month paid as you can invoice out for December in January and they sometimes accure that amount so they can deduct it in that year.  I have still claimed it in the year that I received it and did this for many years and never had a problem.  So as long as there is not a huge 10 to 15K difference I think that the IRS knows this.  Again 1099's can be corrected and sent in if there is a discrepancy in the amount.  Feel safe as long as you have the records to indicate what you received in the year. 
I have answered your question above. (nm)

Your question was answered and not at all with
any sarcasm from what I read.

It seems that the poster just answered in as few words as possible.

I understood he/she to mean without experience, the company would hire from within.

Very simple.

How did you get that they were assuming you had no experience? seems that you are the one assuming eh?!




Thanks to you all who answered. One more question.......
How do you know which C-phone will be compatible with everything?
They answered. Said he was from Pakistan and that all MTs

You answered your own question!
They can't spell!
LOL! Thank you and everyone who answered without complaing (nm)

My question is not answered though
Are these records done by MTs or is this the punch a screen and put on the information.
I also want to thank DeeAnn who answered
my question so kindly and the person who posted with BINGO-LOL is confused and needs help.

Stop trying to be Sherlock Holmes, it is pathetic!
sa, thank you so much, this answered all my questions...nm

This is answered on the Word board. SM
Just go to that board and scroll down, or do a Find (in the Edit menu if you have IE).
No one was being rude. They just answered her question.
She IS a newbie and thought she was being trained wrong when, in fact, she is probably being trained right. She doesn't know the rules of transcription.
Well, that pretty much answered my question!

You keep using your high school diploma and playing "I win" games back and forth on the computer. I have a feeling that's all you have anyway, which, my dear, is not much.



Answered A LONG TIME AGO - DUH. SM
I guess we can assume you only answered it to be able to put down the original poster? I hope you get the same one day, I really do. Wish I could see it happen. You are hateful.
Is there a reason you answered for Sheri

I think *that* shows a lack of respect for someone. I also said Sheri ONLY was to answer the question (because she is the administrator of the board).

And in terms of "when in Rome do like the Romans do ..." Just call Rosa Parks.


I'd like one, too! I answered your post on the other board.
I'm sure they'll need an experienced technician to work at home, though. Just like any other job, they don't hire newbies without experience to work at home right away. It's better to learn in-house from experienced people than to try to go it alone. You can't troubleshoot over the phone and fix someone's computer if you've never actually done it in real life. College merely lays the foundation, it doesn't make you an expert in the field.

I've been trying to find an at-home tech job for over 10 years now. It's not easy. Too much competition out there with all the youngsters and Y2K layoffs. Totally saturated market with much lower wages than 10 years ago. People generally don't quit at-home tech jobs because they're hard to come by.
wow...okey dokey..answered my ????
wouldnt of been DTSS in springfield MO was it?
Monitor/Admin answered that below

times over on the New MT/Student Board.
We just answered this question a few days ago. nm
