You don't. Once you send your post, it stays

In Reply to: How the heck do you edit a typo?? - Ellen S.

just like that. If it is something you want removed because it might be offensive or you realize you shouldn't have posted it, contact administration. I doubt they have the time nor inclination to edit posts just for typos.

Too bad we can't do that, huh?!

post your email address and I will send links to you (nm).

get word out to all their grads that you're looking for help.
Everyone stays 6 to 8 weeks. sm
They usually quit when they realize they have to wait to get paid for work they did a month ago. Also, known to not pay employees their last check when they quit. I think anyone there after 8 weeks is long-term.LOL Few employees there who come here to defend them, but most posts about this place are thumbs down.
LOL! if it stays down, maybe we could get a raise!
I hope it stays down long enough to have us appreciated and get a raise! Watch, all the "good" dictators will mysteriously appear again....
The problem is 3 cpl, 4 cpl stays at that.
So I say just say no.  at 4 cpl on VR I make about $1 more an hour than my daughter at McDonalds and her insurance is less than half of mine with better coverage.  6 cpl would be slightly different, but it's not 6 cpl.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

It's quiet now. Hope it stays that way...
I thought things were pretty quiet lately, but then again I only spend a short time here checking on companies and the job seeker's board.

However, just start talking about the things you want to talk about like what's for dinner or your trip to Costa Rica. I'm sure someone will join in with you.

I think some of them come here to vent, unwind or have been burned by an employer and want to warn others like you said.

But the catty ones, well that's a different story.

BTW, what's for dinner?:)

My husband has talked to them, it has improved some but they still do it....so it stays as it is - n

You need to be flexible. Nothing stays the same in MT. You do it how the person paying you says to
:+
...The content stays the same - history, symptoms,

I type what the Dr. or dictator stays, period - sm
I have had to type quotes of the patient cussing, etc. If they say it, I transcribe it. Why question it? This is what is wrong with the world all this political correctness. If not lesbian then what? Would she have felt better if the doc said dike? Personally I think lesbian is fine, as is gay or homosexual. Lesbian just means the patient is a female, since gay is generally applied to men. People really worry about the s.t.u.pidist things.
Dont think Dixie is looking to favorable right now. Hope she stays on her other bb and keeps her
mouth shut. Why would she favor a company that has their people running out of work.
Can someone tell me how to set Word so that header stays in view on the report? nm


 


RE: Can anyone tell me how to make an AutoCorrect with subscript so it stays - like FEV1?? nm

If for some reason it stays permanent they do make a contraption that you put the dog in with wheel
So the dog still uses its front legs but the wheels in the back act as the dogs "legs" and it can still get around and be mobile, kind of like a dog wheelchair so to speak. I hope he feels better this morning.
Will be a nurse-practitioner...but I'll keep my MTSO as long as it stays alive...

send one
I definately without a doubt would send one.  Just to let them know that you look forward to working with them, etc., etc. 
98.8% but that I send 30% to QA...sm
and THIS was while I started a HUGE new account/hospital and I was on FULL QA/QC at the time......so yeah, EVERYTHING on that 3rd account was going to QA/QC for a couple of months (thousands of dictators there). 
I cannot send more than 5% to QA or...
They decrease my cpl rate!  It does not matter that my quality is above 98.5-99% always.  And spelling names phonetically is NOT an option. 
What does it mean when you send

of a VERY difficult dictator... yet you get no QA back... I left at least 7-8 blanks and have not gotten any corrections back from QA (which is the usual process) for me to look over and listen back over report. Does it mean that they don't know either? I notice this happens to me quite a bit when I get something difficult and am anxious to get QA back to see what I can learn.


I could send my boy over LOL sm
but I don't know where you live. Seriously, though, they may just be garters, harmless. I would let nature takes its course and they will go away on their own. Or, scoop them up in a bucket with a broom or hoe and take them somewhere where they will be safe. I just removed a blue racer from his sunny spot in the yard last week. I got him in a bucket and put him on the other side of the hill. He can tan over there.
Send them my way too, would you?

Although I live on a canal and it may not be as uptown as living on a river or a lake,it's still waterfront and I do a lot of fishing as well so I'd be interested in seeing them too.


Thanks, Cathy, a/k/a Catfish Cathy


 


Send it
Good letter!!!  If you are not joking I would send the sucker. 
send it to everyone but ...
I say everyone send it to Glenn Beck at me@Glennbeck.com - that is his email. I do not agree with a lot of what he says, but this is a topic I know he would pick up - just have to get past the editors - if they get enough e-mails, and let them know it came from the MTs on MTStars with numerous MTs who feel the same, they can do their own research and get it on. One voice is not enough, ALL of the MTs and ALL MT companies who call themselves American must stop dealing with off shore companies and off shore individuals and these morons who do conferences like this - and not for nothing - Hilton too - how dare they take money for a conference regarding this topic be held.
Send
dog poo in the mail?

A big box. Don't be stingy.

Kidding.
not so much, no, I only send more to QA
and then my line count drops drastically, from 1300 to 1400 lines/day to 700 to 1000. It is not getting better but worse, my paycheck from week to week is taking a nose dive.

Thanks but I like to be compensated for what I do in money, not just by being liked or something because I will do difficult reports. Where is the compensation in that? I get absolutely nothing for it except more shut-off notices.
Hey, then... why don't we just send THEM all

If that is what they want, send it to them.
They are paying your bills.

I would let them know about security levels though.
Could you send me a pm so I can
contact her later on, maybe down the line?
Not so, the more you SEND to QA the sm
more you are targeted.  If I don't see your work constantly, I don't think about you at all.
And to top it off, I send a THANK YOU not to the
only normal, nice and friendly MT that was gracious enough to answer my question.

A thank-you note?????
This must be suspicious.

Especially to 'curious.'

If they can send a man to the moon...
Why can't they invent something to stop cherry picking once and for all??? ARGH. I'm having an annoying day myself - must be Hurricane Katrina....
Maybe I will send it back.
Yes, maybe that's what I will do!! Tell them that they might need it more than me when all the lawsuits are over.
Please send me an E-mail :)
I would love to have contact with others that work for Greenlight.

My addy is sandi@glis.net

Thanks so much.
I wish my company would send me anything.
I have worked for a lot and never received zip
Question: How can someone send me SM

a large file (more than 20 MB) over the internet?  They tried to send the file, but their e-mail server wouldn't allow them to send a file this big.  He is probably going to have to burn it to a disk and mail it out to me, but I was wondering if there is a way around this.


Thanks,


Chickadee


She was going to send it after the first of the year to
everyong who emailed her by a certain time that day.  She had originally said to the first 10 but then had more people than that asking, so she changed it to a set time.
If you would like a "thank you" send one to them
I have always sent a thank you even if they don't go with my service.  I have also taken in cookies along with a note.  That is just me and it has gotten me accounts that treat me the same -- with mututal respect and appreciation.  I never treat my accounts so cold as only "providing a service" and that is what I have emphasized in my brochures, flyers, etc   Must be doing something right as they have come to me and stayed with me from 5 to 20 years.  Have not had to go out and get a new account for the past 6 years.  They have also stuck by me through a horrible divorce, illness and getting behind and not treated me as "just a service" that can be replaced.  So I say, yes -- treat them as you would like them to treat you. 
You have no obligation to send something
you've worked hard to create to some stranger just because you are asked to do so. You don't need to waste your time creating anything else to send to appease them, either. If you feel you must respond, simply decline politely. You do not need to offer an explanation beyond, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I cannot do that." They may try to make you feel guilty. Don't let them. You owe them nothing. Just ignore them. You were able to create your shortcuts, dictionary entries, or whatever else you've done to make your work easier. There is no reason others cannot do the same for themselves. They are way out of line to try to get you to hand over your hard work so they can avoid expending any effort. Just tell them "No".
How to send a resume
I see a lot of posts on people upset because they send in resumes and never get a reply. Here are some tips.

1. Make sure your name and address are on the document. I will not repond to "partygirl27" as the only name on the email or document.
2. If the ad says you must have X number of years experience and you do not, don't apply. There are reasons we post you need a certain amount of years. Received a resume yesterday where the person just graduated this month.
3. In your "objective" area, try to put something better than "I hope to do gooder."
4. Be a little more specific about the types of documents you have transcribed and the types of dictators. It doesn't help me much when you say, "I typed reports."
5. Working near a hospital or medical instrument doesn't count as experience. Example: "I packed up surgical equipment for shipment."
6. Spellcheck your document! If I see one that says, "I am a very accurate typier", I am not going to respond.
7. Set yourself up an email just for your job or job hunting. There are numerous free ones out there. I received a resume first thing this morning from "Baby_Got_Back." Good for Baby, but it's the brain we are interested in.

I kid you not folks, some of these just make you want to bang your head on something!
what did national send to IRS
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p556.pdf
What to send to Iraq

When a package arrives of this nature it is shared with everyone.


Snacks are always welcomed and a microwave is accessable to them.


Don't forget things like babypowder, toothpaste, Q-tips, soap on a rope, lip balm, gum, taffy, licorice, Werthers.


Once i sent the individual containers of applesause and it arrived safely.  Books are well recieved too.


If it were me, I'd send a letter to all MTs sm
with a new policy whereby if any work was not returned within TAT, that work would be assigned to another MT, who will be the only one getting paid for that work.

The work has to keep moving.
Send a letter
Send a very nice letter to the head of the Human Resources and Medical Records Dept and tell them what you are looking for and if they use a service ask them if they would get back to you either via fax, mail or E-mail (include a self stamped envelope) so that you could contact that service.  It is hard for me to believe that all the hospitals in Colorodo use services -- guess Oregon is very slow as our hospitals in the Portland area only use for overflow and still employ large staffs and some at home.   But if they use a service it could be one of the larger ones and if you go with that service does not mean you will get that hospital account.  Where are you located if you are calling long distance to work at the hospital and yet are willing go go in-house?  Just curious.  Also see if there is a local chapter of AAMT's in the city you want to work and see if you can network through them.  Good luck.   Patti
Geesh, send me some gas please...
We're still paying $2.69 around here in Idaho, at least in my town.
JAM Please send me the e-mail help too
I recently switched to Word from WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS and I'm looking for all help to do as much on the keyboard and as little mouse as possible. I would be grateful for the delete sentence help or any other hints you might care to share. And thanks for helping.
