My mail carrier just informed me that the mail is sorted by
prisoners as part of their work.  Now do you feel safer and more secure?  
My husband is a mail carrier
Yes, please tell us what prison these inmates work out of. I don't buy it.
Looking for another ULD carrier. What are you Californians using?

Baby carrier worked for me

especially he my son was so small and slept most of the time.  I just strapped him on and went to work.  It did make is a little more difficult to type with him strapped to my chest but I got used to it quickly and he absolutely loved it.  Good Luck!


My homeowner's carrier offers business riders, but
it's only additional liability in case one of my clients gets injured on the premises, and then a computer equipment rider. 
Dogs are a huge carrier of rabies in developing countries.

Request that they place a stop payment on the check, reissue, and mail priority or overnight mail
If they refuse or invent unbelievable excuses, you'll know you have a problem. If MY check was a week late, there are many months I would be in deep trouble.
I realize checks occasionally do get lost in the mail. If they are 100% sure it was mailed, then they shouldn't mind issuing another.

Be firm and be persistent.
My friend who works for them is having her mail go to her own account. She hates this new mail prog

In every company I have worked for that pays via mail, they mail the checks on payday. sm
Depending on the distance you can get them anywhere from 3-8 days later. Right now one takes 3 days, the other 3-5.

Block her E-mail, return mail unopened

On AOL I can determine who I want to receive mail from and block those I do not  -- and if they are blocked  they get their E-mail back as being "undeliverable".  If she sends things out -- send back --unaccepted.  But to be simple just E-mail her back or call the recuriter if you don't want to deal with her directly and state -- leave me alone.  If she is in another state you should not be scared of her but you may simply have to put it out there in no uncertain terms.


I think she's pulling your leg sm
what she is claiming is next to impossible! Sorry, I don't believe you!
lol, not pulling your leg (sm)
I really did try the avatar months ago with no luck.  However, this time I did go into edit my information so maybe it "reset" something.  Glad you can see my butterfly wings............
Hair pulling day
Same doc on two notes.  Left 26 blanks total. 
RE: Pulling my hair out
I have had 2 people working for me for almost 5 years and have to repeatedly check over their work. Should I get rid of them or is this is the norm.
RE: Pulling my hair out

I have to read over each report that they send me because of careless errors like putting the month of June on the notes instead of July.  Of course, blanks are always going to happen from time to time, I realize that.  I am referring to the careless things that happen with the incorrect spelling of medications, etc. Why I still pay keep them I guess is because I am too nice, but it is wearing off very, very quickly.


Pulling my hair out
Yes I do give them very good feedback and every time these errors appear I am in contact with them all the time. This is an easy account with clear dictators and it is the same account they have worked on for some years so it is just time to do something. I have tried being patient, correcting, but I will do the next best thing and alert them that they are on probation; if they don't straighten out then I will either start deducting for these careless errors or lay them off.
Again, I am pulling for you. Please dont let me

i think the little guy is pulling out his hair!!
Interesting post. I thought it was just me, after MTing so many years. First of all, i was told 30+ years ago to try and sit off-center from the keyboard and see if it helped my accuracy -- it worked wonders!! I tend to sit a tad to the right of it and angle the right upper corner of the keyboard up a bit too. I find i have less arm fatigue and less strain on my carpal-tunnel-feeling nerves to be closer to the board. Sometimes i even put the keyboard in my lap -- and it really does seem to help the comfort alot, just a bit of a bother to situate my keyboard when i get up and down from the desk tho. I also find, contrary to smart-people thoughts, that i do better with my keyboard low enough that my arms are not at right angles to it. we MTs are a bit finicky eh?
Are you pulling in templates? If so,
you will have to check and make sure they are set on 100%.
I think you must tell your mother why you're pulling away from her. sm

It can't be fair to her that she does not know why you're treating HER like this.  She's done nothing wrong.  You need to tell her how you feel but point it to the fact that for your emotional health and safety you can't be in situations with your stepfather.  Talk to her about keeping close to her without him  and if she's doesn't want that, then you'll not be seeing her for awhile.  I don't believe your mother is not strong enough to know the truth and it could possibly kick you in the pants in the end.  It certainly may feel like a "darned if you don't, darned if you do" situation, but why make your mother feel that she's done something wrong, point that finger where it needs to be pointed, you're uncomfortable with him. 


I say that about her being strong enough, but in an entirely different situation where my dad kept secrets about my brother, after my dad died my mom found out about these secrets which my dad felt she was not strong enough to handle, and it caused great harm to the relationship between my mom and myself.  I can only hope that one day she can get over the deception that she feels we all pulled on her, even though it was at my dad's request because of her health.  I truly wish I had told her a long time ago to save myself the mess that I deal with now by myself because my dad's not here to take the blame for us keeping secrets from my mom.  


Why distance yourself from your mom without it being for the truth?  Is it really not that important?  You'll have to decide.  My best to you and yours.


OMG! Pulling my hair out here! Venting...


I have an ESL who speaks very fast, but when I slow him down, he sounds like a very drunk ESL.  He tends to speak rather softly until the last 3 or 4 words of his dicatation, when he actually speaks into whatever he dictates into and I can hear those few words very well.  This guy has been a pebble in my shoe for far too long!


Ok, venting over.  Ignore the crazy lady.  


If US MD's were pulling stuff back into US pay would be going up. It's going down.
because of offshoring and because of other replacements for MT (VR and EMR), pay is going down. Face it. There are cheaper alternatives for US MTs. The quality is not as good, but it is good enough. Yea, yea, yea "lawsuits, bla, bla, bla." Nice theory but ain't happening.
My MTSO recommends not pulling up more SM
than 3 documents. For reports in storage, I found that's about half a minute or less total to pull up 3 of them individually, scan, and move on. Google searches somewhat more but not more than a couple minutes at most to find an answer or realize it's hidden and move on. The point in this case being that they want a conscientious effort made to produce high-quality documents with few blanks but haven't found it cost effective for us to spend more than a minute or two on filling a blank.

Timing an actual minute while you to a search is revealing; it's actually a pretty long time that you could be using to churn out...what? 160+ lines with the help of your expander?
30 years and I'm still pulling my hair out sometimes

Tell you one thing and do another once youre under lock and key.  I don't trust them anymore, so I'd rather stay right where I am.
i'm not an editor pulling my hair out or hollering at anyone. You are.
what a joke. you think you are superior but when i make $25-30 an hour with no sweat, no problem, no hollering, no pulling my hair out, and you are left hollering with BP in the too high digits, who is dumb? bwwwaaaaaahaaaaaaaa

MQ mail
I got it to work but it takes forever to get into your email box and send anything.  I got into my box yesterday..slow..slow.slow..Today I got in and tried to send an email to my Transcription Coordinator and two times it would not go through, finally the third time it did..I dont know why they changed the system..maybe some techs needed something new to do so they made a new project to change the email system.  If they dont fix it, it is a disaster..Hopefully today, the first day, will be just fixing the minor things and we will proceed from there..Its always something with this company ya know??  No work, but you better let them know your schedule, cant even get through on email..Grrrrrrrr..
MQ E-mail
I am just giving up.  I get it and try to keep it open so I can check it but it won't stay opened.  I am going to check it once a day.  If they want me, they can phone.
E mail I mail
I wonder if we can just communicate with work people with our private E-mail instead of this system.
MQ I-Mail.

I can't get past the login screen.  It says "Welcome!" then throws me back to the login screen.  I see they have a message that says "You can still send messages to your contacts through your Outlook or Outlook Express."  Wrong.  Can't do that, either.  Have been on hold to Atlanta for over 1/2 hour.  Whose idea was this??


MQ Mail

Log in using your I-mail address and your password.  I-mail address should be your MQ name (?)__@medquistmail.com.  Password.  You get into a screen that apologizes etc.  Hit continue. 


If you forgot anything there is a box that should allow you to retrieve password. 


If all else fails, call tech support and they will walk you through it as I did the first time using it at 1-800-342-8283.  They can help you specifically for I-mail problems.
