Very nice site. Please keep updating it. Lose Make Anticipate - that is all that Game is capable of:
It was fun visiting here. Wishing you a great day! Slot can Compute Table , Big, Lazy, Faithful nothing comparative to Tremendous Win Do Expect - that is all that Player is capable of , Curious, International, Curious nothing comparative to Collective Boy can Kill Player
so many people was wishy-washy nowadays...love to see people make
a stand for what they believe in...
it is kind of wierd those statements have to be made in the first place but guess we are an ever-transitioning country and are still young. so many different beliefs yet not much tolerance.
I found your post respectful, and right on as to how you feel. it does not seem that difficult to sift through to read and respond to messages someone might not care for...
i don't know why people make fun of mq and ceo(s) of mq. they are trying so hard
it takes TIME to award these prizes and to figure out pay increases. They have priorities you know. They are fighting lawsuits, figuring out bonuses for management and trying to save their own jobs or at least accumulate some cash in an offshore bank before going to jail or getting fired for running a scam operation bilking the shareholders, clients and MTs.
Just be patient. In a year or so Frank will come through (or at least his replacement) as to who won the Hawaii trip.
I'm with you ... people can make their own choices. nm

No need to laugh. Many people make that and much more. I do. nm

Some of us are IT people who make more money
doing MT. I've found that I know more about computers than the so-called IT people working for MT services. However, I would never recommend PC Doctor. AVG Free is the best free antivirus software out there. And you're not an id-iot. It's also tough to know which programs will cause a software conflict until you actually try them. Hope things go better for you.
I am not worried about what other people make... sm
What bothers me is that people post about how there wages are so low, their income is low, and it discourages the new people in the field before they get a chance to see for themselves what they can or cannot do. I just really do not see how people can not type more than 75-100 lines an hour if they are really working their job. I consistently type 350-400 lines an hour for 6 hours a day. That averages me to $35-40 an hour - which is way over minimum wage.
I have seen editors/QA people act put-upon because we make mistakes.
That's their JOB to correct mistakes. And while we are working on production and a QA/Editor has time to listen to something over and over, they act like we should have gotten this and why was it sent to QA blah, blah. Editors forget the sole purpose of their job is to fix the report and move on. Some of them have to lord it over you with comments that are totally unnecessary. Just give me the answer and I certainly don't need a speech or reprimand with the answer. You do your job and I'll do mine. I don't lecture you, don't lecture me.
Just make a "mean people" forum nm

KD, are you on crack - very few people make $50,000/year - sm
I make about $58,000, but I work my butt off doing it, have 18 years experience. You sound like a Sally Struthers ad when you make a comment like that! Next thing you know, you will be telling this woman that she can breastfeed her child while she is transcribing and have another one sitting on her lap!!
I do love this job, but I tell people to expect to make at least $25,000-$30,000/year.
Geez, you people make it sound like
"my family" has a bunch of incestuous perverts running around. Give it a break! My kids never even started it, the other kids at school did. ALL boys think it's funny to overexaggerate when they get hit in the privates. It's not like they're walking around playing doctor or anything. It's the rolling around on the ground, Oh! my privates! that they think is funny. As if your sons, brothers, or whoever is going to tell you about it anyway. You're overthinking it and turning it into something it's not. I did say I do not tolerate it or find it funny. I am a darn good parent and I don't trash talk my kids' teachers either. I've never pulled them out of classes or switched schools. So please, spare ME the lectures and get out of your little glass houses.
You people make me laugh.Half say they sm
betrayed their families by making pretend they weren't gay, but they were MADE to have families becuase you condem them for being together. So let me see if I get this straight-don't pretend you are straight and don't be gay. What is that called? Oh yeah, SICK. If people left each other alone to be what they were born to be we wouldn't have families betrayed to begin with. Get it????? Think hard.
some people need to make themselves sound important
Obviously this person who considers MT a "profession" is in denial and has low, if any, expectations for herself.
Power can make people crazy.
She sounds like a manager who caused me to leave my last job. She also was terrible at details too, but what a mess she turned out to be, starting all the rumors. Ridiculous.
Defensive people make the most errors
I bet... if you are good you would be quiet, if you are a bad MT you will blast poor QA lady all day.
what do the middle people make per line?
I may be negotiating a contract directly with a radiology business, but I"ve only done independent contractor work up until now. I'd like to enter into negotiations seeming like I know my way around the block: what do companies (who hire transcriptionists) tend to make per line? How would I find that out?
Who ARE these people who make this stuff up every year charge $ for it??
I could make one up every year myself. Why do they think they are an authority. I have never understood this, and will never buy another one. I bought one in my life for $75. What a waste of money to read someone's "made up rules for this year."
But really. To make this work, don't you have to intrude upon people's lives and SM
make a horrible pest of yourself? Honestly? My riding instructor, who is one of the dearest friends I've ever had, gets into these schemes. His latest was Tahitian Noni juice.
He had some remarkable results with it on a horse that was just a juvenile delinquent - she reared in crossties, acted up at shows when she wasn't in the arena, she was just a PMSing witch.
So I was impressed. I went to a meeting with him. Come to find out, they don't actually want you to buy the Noni juice - they want you to recruit other people to recruit other people. Biggest mess of flim-flam I've ever seen.
the people who really make BIG BUCKS are business owners
especially when they go into...say- window washing or something right away, instead of into debt. In general, I'm for college - plan to push my kids to get their master's right away as that seems entry level nowadays - but where I made really good money was owning my own service. Make(made) more as an MTSO than I ever will as a nurse-practitioner.
But just because people are not willing to financially help doesn't make them any less helpful th

Questions like the one quoted SHOULD make people angry.
There's a difference between needing help with something difficult, and asking a question that NOBODY who is working as an MT should have to ask. If you can't figure that word out or find the answer yourself, you shouldn't be working as an MT. Period.
I really admire people that can make that kind of money
but knowing the hours she must work, and the days she must put in (probably all week plus the weekend), that's just not for me. Money isn't everything and I'd rather make my $40,000 and have my weekends free and work my 8 hours, five days a week and be done. Again, this is just me. Now if I could make that money working normal hours, I'd be happy. (I can dream can't I?)
People are jealous, I think, so they make snide and disparaging comments.
SOMETIMES, tho, you get these same people coming back asking you how to get trained, how to find jobs like this. It's a weird situation.
It's amazing we let people operate on us who cannot put two words together to make a sentence.
:+
don't worry about frantic people who try to make a point by calling names.
They are immediate losers when it comes down to winning any sort of valid logical argument and you can see this person is a LOSER because they did not mention any companies to support their argument and instead lashed out at you. HOW SMART IS THAT?
Yes, write some letters to the Dell people....if you make some noise you will get your refund.
and mail/fax whatever-- get their attention....don't be outright nasty but you can get pissy a little. It will work and you will get your money back.
The people proofing are human. Humans make mistakes daily.

if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
Right, that's what I do, it's a game!
They seem to be trained to speed-speak anyway, so why not join in on the fun!
This is not a game.
If there really is an error on page 50, please let me know where it is, and I will mark my book accordingly, so I don't have to cross-reference every term on that page wiith Stedman's until I find it. To me this is neither fun nor funny. I only type one specialty and there are many terms obsscure enough to me that I won't automatically spot them as a typo.
Yep, except the game with Bill
was minus the odor and the little white crabs marching around the stogie.
Game ideas
At one party for my daughter, I wrapped up a small, age-appropriate gift in several (maybe 5-7, I don't remember) layers of wrapping paper. Then the girls sat in a circle and passed the present around to music. When the music stopped, whoever was holding the gift got to remove 1 layer of paper. The one who took of the last layer of paper, got the gift.
Also, our youth group had a balloon tower contest. Each team had a bunch of balloons and several rolls of clear tape. Then they had 10 minutes to blow up the balloons and build a tower using the tape. Whoever built the biggest tower won. Of course, we had some older kids in the youth group. Younger kids might have trouble tying the balloons.
Well those of us that have figured it out know your game :)
At least I know enough to offer to make my husband a sandwich when he's looking through the new truck section in the paper.
Works every time. 
Need is not a factor in this game. (see m)
There is absolutely no point to having a game at all if you are going to give the money to whoever "needs" it.
It's a competition, pure and simple. Sometimes wealthier people are wealthier for a reason: they are competitive. But I definitely believe that in no way ever should need be considered. That just completely detracts from the spirit of the game.
blame game..........sm
As for the *blame game* - most states and MOST judges don't care....they don't care if your spouse is caught in bed with people. Hopefully the OP's state is like that. Many states today are *no contest* states. If you want a divorce, you can get a divorce in most states with no contesting. If the OP's state is not like this - is not a *no contest* state, the OP needs to file for a divorce in another state, where the OP would need to get residency status in that particular state (using someone's address who you know real well).
Persistence is the name of the game
Your brochure/flyer/business card has to be there at the time they need someone. You need to do multiple mailings and concentrate on those areas you want to work. Use your present accounts for referrals, offer rewards, etc. I have a secret of getting past the front desk but have been laughed at in the past but it works. But just like selling a house, it takes many open houses to find the person that wants your house so it is the same here. Just do mailings about 3 months apart, they will begin to remember your name.
Oh well then it is fair game if not following
BOS. It could be interpreted any number of ways really. I would probably "sticky-note" it and let the doctor review it to be certain though. We aim to please, us nonBOS'ers. You are not saying though Patti, that all clinic notes, in general, do not follow BOS are you? You are just simply stating that you do not follow BOS for your clinic notes, I am assuming. 
This game is kind of fun!
Can you find the typo on page 50 of the BOS?
I think some drs see dictation as a game. How
x
Yup, it's an endless game (sm)
with downloading the supposedly free versions to find infections, then wanting you to spend money for the fix. It's like you are in between a rock and a hard place. Hopefully, someone with experience on this matter will offer their opinion(s).
By any name, the rotten game is still the same! nm

I'm game. And I could use a vacation, even if
I can't afford to do anything but watcth TV. (As long as I still have electricity, that is...)
Please, stop the Blame Game
Again, aren't we all in the same boat here - FT, PT, IC, SE, we are all MTs... isn't the point here that those of us who are having a difficult time with the co. we work for (specifically, for me, MQ) that we are all trying to validate, encourage, and hopefully figure out a way to hold the COMPANY responsible??? I don't know the answer, but I DO KNOW that blaming each other, ICs, SEs, FT employees, whatever, is NOT the answer. Geez.

If you only knew, my dear.
We used to play the game that former president Bill Clinton and Ms. Monica Lewinsky played. Do you remember that game they played with the stogie?
And that was after the guy playing a video game

Feast or Famine is the name of the game at FN
As the previous poster said, the workflow for the last few months has been horrible. My pay has been severely cut due to the overhiring they have done.
If you don't mind starving for a while (LOL), it's an okay company to deal with, with the exception of their QA department, which I believe are some of the rudest I've ever come across.
Pay seems pretty good if you don't mind not having bennies or direct deposit.
Overall, I would give them a "C". 
No it does not show in the game controller
machine and it is not recognized in the game controller there either. But thank you anyway.
I used to own a game called Kensington . . .
It is an awesome game that can be played by two players or with teams, red and blue pegs, and a board with triangles, squares, and hexagons, with the object being to be the first person or team to fill-in all points of a hexagon with your pegs(of either your peg color or one of the white ones).
It is very fun, but an ex-roommate has mine, and I have only found used copies available on-line, but have not as of yet followed through with a purchase.
I also like Uno, Spades, and Farkle . . . to name a few.
Picky is the name of the game IMHO. Either it's right or it's not.

is it a game port adapter?
If it is, you may have to click on "gameport" on Express Scribe
Does anyone use a game port pedal and use
I am considering employment with a company that uses a pedal for the audio that may require a sound card be installed on my PC. I currently use a USB wav pedal to receive dictation that are dss files, wav, etc. Does anyone know if I can install the sound card and still use the USB wav pedal or would that take a lot of tinkering back and forth. I am considering Zylomed, and I think they use MT World. Would anyone be able to offer any information regarding this type of situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
