Hunting?!?!?!?!

Anybody else out there against hunting.  The reason I ask is that I know hunting season is coming soon and it makes my skin crawl knowing all those cute animals are going to be shot dead with either a gun or arrows and butchered up.  I am an active participant with PETA and often do protests. 


This should be illegal.  We need to save our animals.  In my opinion, hunting should consist of the animals having weapons as well!


 


While I don't like hunting,
affiliating oneself with PETA is ridiculous.  Those people are rabid and don't hold people in any more value than mice, sometimes even less.  They don't see the difference between killing 6 million Jews or 6 million chickens.  All the same to them.  No, hunting sucks in my humble opinion, but it's a free country, like it or not.
Hunting!!!!
Me and my husband hunt deer. We also fish occasionally. WE EAT WHAT WE KILL! We also pray and go to church.
Job Hunting

Hi-


Could someone offer up some information on aquiring a position Transcribing with little current experience.  I seem to be hitting some walls.


RE: Job hunting
I am so tired of job hunting. I just wish I could find a job.
job hunting
I am right there with the rest of you guys. Have never been in this situation in my entire life until now. Depression and anxiety are taking over, whereas I used to be pretty happy-go-lucky. Job app after job app, interviews once in awhile, but then rejection. I'll pray that we ALL have a turnaround and get really good jobs VERY soon.
Yes, that's why I've been job hunting.


Sally on hunting

I also hate to think about all the deer being shot, just reminds me to much of Bambi.


That said, I am surrounded on 2 sides by the worst car versus deer highways in our state.  The deer population is becoming way too much, they're multiplying like rabids and I'd rather see then killed quickly than lying on the side of the road injured or stuck in the windshield of the car that hit them.


Sorry, I value the life of a human over that of an animal and these accidents or killing, maiming and causing way to many families heart ache and grief


Hunting Understanding II
Thank you to all ladies on this board that feed their families the OLD FASHION WAY! They don't just buy any old meat in the store with a label on it! HA!HA!HA!
Update of job hunting.

A few days ago I posted here in response to another MQ person nervous about leaving.  I was a little to forthcoming about my failure on a test and got mostly encouraging replies and a few holier than thou responses.


But anyway!  Good news!  A job offer late this afternoon at 8.5 a line!  I had tested on Monday - my favorite kind of test - basic grammar and terminology and then on to the dictation.  Three dictations (DS, Consult, and SOAP).  No mention on how I did on the test but guess it was good enough.  This is a big raise from what I was making at MQ - 6.5 cents!  Only problem is the time - they need eves - but feel I will take it just because the money is worth my while. 


Just wanted to let everyone know.  I felt so bad the other day, very ready to throw in the towel.  I still think that ours is a dying profession due to voice recognition and jobs outsourced but I am going to hang on for just a while longer.  Thanks for the encouraging words the other day.  I really needed it then.  And to Nervous MT 1, hope you are reading this and that you will keep us posted on how it goes with you.  There is life after MQ. 


When I was job hunting, I applied
and was offered a job, declined.  Now I am so glad, I will not work for a company that wants to put MTs out of business in this country.  I would never, ever work for Spheris.
MT-grad-job hunting-need help!

Hi Everyone,


Recent grad here and an option after grad was to train with Scribes(a company that has an account set up with the school-Canscribe,to allow students to transcribe reports which get passed on to Editor for screening and feedback. Basically like you are on probation until they tell you that you no longer need it, but you are not paid, it is just training. I was just on my 3rd day when I was told that there was an aquisition pending and the training was on hold till furthr notice and to feel free to seek employment.   I have been reading  a lot on this forum about companies the school has recommended I apply to, such as Medquist, Spheris. I am confused and scared. Please guide me in the right direction to avoid a bad experience. What companies will give recent grads a chance? Appreciate any advice.

witches still hunting
I was audited last year and they caught me for three years worth and it was very ugly and taught quite a lesson. I have 5 years of payments and fines.
Advice please, job hunting.

I recently left a hospital job 6 months ago because of climbing gas prices and started working for a MTSO.   After the six months, I cannot seem to get the correct line count to be eligable for benefits and I need benefits.   I can work for hours and it is like my line count barely moves.  I worked the same way at the hospital and made twice as much so I know I can do it but for some reason with this MTSO I cannot seem to make it move.   I thought I would try another MTSO.  I applied and they offered me a job and as soon as I got my new hire paperwork in they would ship me my foot pedal and what I need to get started.  Well, the next day after talking to that recruiter, I noticed an ad in the paper from a local hospital, just a block away, stating they wanted a medical records clerk, FT with benefits.   I jumped up and applied.  They called me in for an interviewed today and told me what the job entails, which has nothing to do with MT, gave me a tour of the hospital and they said will call me Thursday with their decision.   Oh best part is no weekends or holidays. 


What I am wondering is should I go ahead and fax that new hire paper work as if I don't have that hospital job or should I wait.  I told the MTSO I would have it in today and I would hate for them to go through the expense to send my stuff for me to send it back if I did get that job, but on the other hand I don't want to keep them waiting.   Also, I am not sure yet as for what the salary would be with the hospital as when I asked they said they would let me know by Thursday.   I have 2 in daycare so the job would have to cover that and I am not sure if it will. 


They are transitioning to EMR.  They have paper MR now and they are trying to get ready for EMR and they need help filing.  I have a feeling I would be walking in on a mess. I think the MTs still use tapes.   


Which companies were you at where you were not treated very well. I am job hunting and would like
to know.
My recent job-hunting experience

Two decades of hospital experience here.  Applied at about 6 different large companies.  Some of the pay was atrocious (.07), some was fair (.08).  One offered .085 but had to work the hours precisely as they demanded as an IC with no flexibility and told me up front it was an extremely difficult and high ESL account.  (Now I realize that someone has to type those hard dictators, but would prefer that they be mixed in with an easier account -- been there and done that as far as an 80 percent HARD ESL account).


Of course I didn't take any of them and now I wish I had told them the pay was too low and that it was insulting.  I was not tempted to accept any of those jobs.  The recruiters for the most part acted as if I should be honored to be offered such a cruddy job with them!!  These were all companies who advertise heavily on the MT boards and perhaps that is why they are constantly advertising.


I took a job with a very small company who has decent accounts and were eager to pay me a better wage so I know they are out there.  I had interaction with 2 such smaller companies who offered good pay.


I really hate to see to see good transcriptionists take jobs that offer so little in return for our services as it hurts us all in the long run.


Wish hunting could be "catch and release" like fishing.

Timed test the norm for IC job hunting?
I had a response to a job that had a specified time frame for testing. It had to be done withing 2hrs of getting the passcoded from them via email.  I got the email 30 after they sent it and it took forever to do it becuase you couldn't use express scribe/foot pedal. I had to go between word and media player.....and in doing so went over the 2hr limit.  Is this normal for them to do this? 
It appears the magic number is 500. Lots of folks job hunting, for sure.

Ignore my post. I finally found the post on how to do this. nm

Yes, I tried to post same last night about 10 times, and it won't let me post.
I used to breed lab puppies (please no activist flames)! I had a champion female white Canadian lab, and people would be on a list for years if by chance I bred her, which I did twice, and so that I could continue her line.  Anyhow, she's my sweet Skye who passed away 2 months ago? At any rate, we had the same problems with kids in the "hood" who wanted to come over and play once the puppies were old enough to be exercised daily and played with.  At first I thought, how cute, right? Puppies and little kids - what better picture! Well, the majority of kids were adorable, but there were always 1 or 2 sick ones who would smack the pups, smash and hold their heads in the dirt (a real common thing, but I don't know why - psychiatrist anyone).  At any rate, I finally had to ban the whole group due to the 1 or 2 creeps, had to call the police, the whole 9 yards, and that's EXACTLY what the police officer told me - next thing is there will be poison meat or a donut in the yard. He told me to always go out and patrol my yard, especially alone the fence line every day before I let the dogs out, particularly at night. I went out with a flashlight.  It was about a month later, but sure enough - poison meat.  Because there were so many kids involved, we obviously couldn't pin point the exact family, but the police went and read the riot act to them all. It would stop and not happen again for a year or so, but every now and again we would find something. My dogs were NEVER out and barking, so it was nothing like that - it was just over the puppies and the cruel kids.... Not trying to freak you, but that's the way these kids and their families are.  You can really judge someone's character by ill treatment of a PUPPY, of all things. And the parents??  They sound whacked.  Please be careful.

Which mean post was the straw that broke the poster's back.
Yes, she had post partum depression AND post partum psychosis. I posted on this a while back, and
it explained the two. The psychosis actually develops after the depression. Scary stuff.

Don't they post that information when they post the

Thank you for your post
You posted it like it is.  What about this young boys parents??  What was he doing out at 2-3 in the morning??  What kind of parent would allow that??  No where have these posters who are blaming the victim even tried to put blame on this boy.  Amazing.  I hate to say it but the old cliche is true.  very few women stand together or help each other, the claws come out and they attack each other.  This young boy has told several different accounts of what happened that night.  My take is that they put a date rape drug in her drink, as some of her friends said she was acting strangely.

that's all I can do regarding this post-

Yes, we see that. However, this post was done before her post.
Was there even a need for your post?
Your post really says it all!

Best post all day. Thank you. (nm)

is this post from JMO ?

First of all, I can post here if I want. Second, SM
it's not necessarily having a "unique ability to spot a loser right away." Too many women have baby rabies and don't care whose sperm they get, as long as they get that baby. Then, when daddy's true colors come out, it's too late. THEN they so very often breed with them AGAIN. What the hell is wrong with these women? Then then end up "single mothers" with a giant chip on their shoulder, expecting the world to make up for their bad choices.

Yes, dads die. But from what I see 95% of single mothers got that way by having kids with the wrong men.
my post
see, 1600 or 1700 lines in 8 hours.  But I can spend 3 or 4 hours of really doing nothing but typing and do 1000 lines.  I shouldn't take 8 hours to do 1600.  I should be able to 2000.  I find that I get on this board, zone out, get up a lot, etc., after I reach my 1000.  That is what I need to work on!
maybe no one knows anything else to post! nm
