dude, your educational level means nothing when you post irrelevant drivel and you don't follow

Posted By: Psychic network friend. on 2005-08-02
In Reply to: And your educational level is? - I'll betcha mine's higher than yours

a logical train of thought. "ROCK ON"???? OMG!

BTW, YOU CALLED THE NAMES DEAR POSTER. READ YOUR OWN POST AND THEN READ MINE. See that's what I'm talking about. The masses aren't all that bright and knowing that does not "empower" me. And with you bragging about a "degree" and "education" is even more depressing. imagine an educated person bragging about it after screwing up on two posts and not understanding the concept of the original post STILL! Scary stuff.

    And your educational level is?
    and the more I read this board the happier I am that I'm getting out of this business. Too many "bully wannabes" in here with their name-calling and misplaced aggression. If your life sucks so much that you need to get off on "winning your little pretend cyber battle for the day" ROCK ON. I'm going to use my degree and talk to  intelligent people in the real world. Have fun!
    and your educational level is?
    LOL

    It's obvious, my dear. No need to respond but I know you're too angry not to.

    Your turn.

    Like shooting fish in a barrel.
    Better follow that up.....<..to the Left, to the Lesser., oh, it also means.......

    Of Course Endiqua read your post. It is irrelevant to her what you wrote and she is fully prepared
    Hush and take notes. Endiqua is the authority on all things and doesn't need to read your post or even understand it. She's got an opinion and by gawd you will listen. QA is annointed boss of you.


    Follow-up on post - had my 2nd HCG test today..sm
    Well 2 days ago my levels were 154 - today dropped to 153.  My OB/GYN thinks I am miscarrying, which I am sure I am too.  No pain though, just still spotting.  I asked her what if my levels went up by Monday, she said it is possible, but NOT REALLY....I don't guess there is anyone out there that had their levels drop then raise back up?  I know it sounds crazy.  I do, however, honestly understand and believe that I am miscarrying.  But I really would like to thank each one of you who gave me encouragement from the previous post.  I know God only puts on us what we can handle and even though I don't know the reason now, God has a reason and plan for everything in our lives.  Thank you for all of your support! 
    Follow up regarding C phone dictation post below sm

    Went to the Urology Clinic this morning.  The doctors are dictating on a C-phone to a transcription service and they are transcribing the reports and sending them back to the office for me to QA.  I download the files, check them, print and save.  My questions is how can I have them route these files to  my home computer.    Wouldn't the transcription service have to send the files to me so that I can access the site on online with a user name and password?  Can I do this through AOL or do I need to use Internet Explorer.  Anything else I would need?  Just need some input, because this current Editor may not come back and I may be taking on their actual transcription also.  Big Company.  Don't want to loose this one.  Any ideas would be appreciated. 


    I know what that aa in your post means....N/M
             
    It means that post has been read a certain
    number of times, I think it's more than 200....flame for hot topic
    I came from low level neighborhood. I know the effects low level people have on a child's
    mind. I fought very hard to get out of there. If you think narrow-minded high-horse thinking people are the only ones who are making trailer park comments, YOU ARE DEAD WRONG. I know white trash people who live for the weekend to get drunk and party and make just enough to get by. I am educated in the "real world" and whether you like it or not, the "real world" doesn't want to be anywhere near a trailer park for real or imagined reasons and does ostracize trailer park people along with ghetto people and section 8 people. Crime, drugs, do come from low income housing. BTW, people are outraged at black-on-black ghetto crime. That does not happen in higher working class black neighborhoods. Same deal with white trash people. Low class white people get drunk fight and end up in jail. If you read the newspaper or watch it on TV over the weekend, you know what I am talking about. Crime, drugs, etc is rarely an ONGOING problem in upper class neighborhoods because most of these people have goals for the future. Lower class neighborhoods and low class people are what they are because that's what the people in the neighborhoods settle for.
    Drivel is a perfect description!
    And, oh my,my, how very ''narrow minded'' of U.S. MTs to object to having their jobs given away and their wages stagnate! Your post is right on!
    I agree, WebMedx would do better just removing that drivel.

    Educational program makes a difference

    The only way I see it, is if you graduate from one of the top 3 programs out there and do well, jobs are definitely out there.  Otherwise, I wouldn't even know what to tell them.  Good luck! :)


    how is Advance irrelevant?

    The turth as you know it is irrelevant. The OP obviously has SM
    some financial issues, and it was rude of you to not only a) not offer any advice (or keep your thoughts to yourself) and b) ramble on about how good you have it.

    You had nothing relevant to say to help her. Save your self-promotion for another post, please. Someday the shoe might be on the other foot for you. Remember how you might feel when it happens.
    Advance is irrelevant. Who cares what they say?

    Personal preference is mostly irrelevant, IMO. SM
    I single or double as requested or to conform to a standard mode, even if I do prefer double for readability. The VR accounts I work on are set to single space. FWIW, typing single spaces is faster.
    irrelevant what MTSO charges the customer...
    as long as you feel the price they pay you is sufficient for you. nuff said.
    The actual amount paid is irrelevant

    more, but the value of it is more to them than it is to us.  For example, if you make $50 for a week's worth of work, do you think that's a lot in America?  Probably not.  But ask someone in a third world country if $50 is a lot of money to them and ask what it will buy them.


    By offshoring work, the MTSO's are saving big bucks by paying foreign MTs far less than they pay us.  Therefore, there are many American MTs willing to accept a lower payrate for their work.  Thus, lowering the American standard of pay for this industry.  Got it?


    Dude! YW :)
     
    Dude.....(sm)

    a lot of us MTs have major malfunctions (LOVE your terminology, BTW), with a LOT of things.  Don't take offense.  I would be willing to bet no offense was meant by the poster.  Some of us like initials after our names....some of us think it is worthless....to each his own.


    Peace, man.


    whatever dude

    HC, you can believe or not believe whatever you want to.  I fail to see what the point would be of lying about something like that.  It certainly is not laughing matter to those affected, to be sure.


    And hey, it may be that YOU are so valued as an MT, heck, probably even the BEST MT EVER, that they surely would NEVER cut YOUR pay without advanced notice, so if I were you, I wouldn't give it a second thought.


    Really.


    It is irrelevant what percentage the service takes of 'your' earnings...sm

    what matters is: is it worth it to you to work for that rate? On some accounts, my IC's might make only 50% of what I charge the client, on others they might be paid 80%. For one physician, I might charge 12 cents a line - if another calls, says they are in a jam and desperate to get their backlog done, I might bid it at 14.  But if you are satisifed with say 8.5 cents a line, it doesn't matter if your MTSO charges them 9.5 or 19.5.


    As far as line rates to physicians, again, it depends on what the market will bear. You could call local physician offices and tell them you are an independent MT service and you are getting price ranges for the locality, and ask the OM what they are paying. That would give you an idea of what is competitive. In West  Virginia, they might be charging 18 cents per line, in Chicagoland they might be charging 11.

    Yo-Man, Dude, What's happening?
    I agree, Simon is more realistic. Chris did do great last night even though I am not into rock. It was tolerable though! He at least got into it and...was good. Paula LOVES those rockers. She loved Bo Bice also. I think a few girls are the best. Can't wait til tonight and then next Tuesday. It is my favorite show.
    Dude (as Hurley would say)....

    dude, I'm agreeing with you

    I found nothing wrong with your original post.  I almost posted a response myself saying that you need to talk to your QA people because every company uses their own method of putting blanks in, but someone else had already said it.


    I just think Ella was responding to the wrong message, but I'm certainly not here to defend another poster.


    Speaking of dude or chick, does anyone ever
    play that car game where you have to guess what gender someone is because you just can't tell?  That's what we play on road trips instead of the license plate game.  Quick, dude or chick?
    Dude, what's your major malfunction? sm

    Since I've been working for the last 1-1/2 years with a company and more recently with my own accounts, I daresay that I am doing just fine with or without the RMT.  I wanted to take the RMT for my own fun.  I am sure there are others that either want to take the test or that are waiting to hear their results after waiting several months.


     


    Major bummer dude!

    This is my 2nd Saitek...the first one had silver keys and oh ya, I got the paint on them babies worn off within 6 months.  I'm totally bummed to hear this one will do the same thing, because I really looked at it hard before buying and saw the letters were "etched" in and not painted on.  It's no biggie for me, being a touch typist, but when family or friends want to plink around, they got totally lost...plus it looked fargin' ugly too. 


    I use the angry red lights when typing that ESL crap (red alert!), and the happy purple the rest of the time.  The old one was just blue, so I'm kinda sick of that for right now, but it is so much fun to mess with the mood lighting.  Simple pleasures for simple minds

    dude, i'm not being literal. toby keith looks like he is CAPABLE
    of taking care of me.  Jude Law on the other hand looks like he would be hard pressed to take care of himself.  It is the presentation not if the guy really would step off the screen to take care of me.  For example, it doesn't look as if Toby Keith has product in his hair or wears designer clothes.  He is tall and has a great deep commanding voice.  It's not about literal.  It's all about PHYSICAL APPEARANCE and how a man carries himself. 
    Who is Drew Lachey? TV, singer, sports dude?

    Sweety, this is abuse. Get thee to a counselor, the dude is sucking you dry.
    The twit I just divorced got to the point that if HIS annoying me didn't work, he'd pick a fight, put the kid in the middle and then laugh as I tried to save the kid from that kind of abuse.

    Ditch the B---d. And get into counseling.
    Level I
    After 25 years as a MT and I'm only a Level I? I think not, but with MQ, yes, that's all I've been able to get...

    what's wrong is having 5 accounts to switch back and forth from and running out of work....
    I never once said they were on the same level--sm
    It is just my personal opinion that killing of any breathing living being is wrong. and since there are different *punishments* for killing a man and killing a beast, a *punishment* is still a *punishment* and I personally prefer not to be *punished* in any context. This life alone has been *punishment* enough. I simply prefer not to be *punished* in the after life for causing harm to another, be it human or animal. I try very hard to live my life by God's laws, which are far more important than any self-serving laws that man can think up. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Since I am not looking to debate this already dead issue any longer, I will not respond to any more posts concerning it. This was just my opinion and I am entitled to it without having to be criticised for it. Have a great day.
    well on that level, i'm with you
    100%. I think the vast majority of Americans are frustrated at the loss of jobs and the illegal immigration situation.
    It is exp. level....sm
    Newbies up until 2 years are MT level 1. I know 2 years and up is level 2 and I am not sure of MT level 3 how much exp that is.
    Entry-Level MTs

    Hello to all!


    Can anyone give any advice on where I may be able to go and find an entry-level MT position?  I greatly appreciate all the responses I hope to receive.  Thanks all!


    Entry Level MT's
    MedQuist hires entry levels with good testing scores. Fax them your resume. Its worth a try. Good luck
    High Level 4
    I don't know if we're allowed to post it or not on here, but it's very decent for the MT world, plus they supposedly do raises periodically without you having to beg.
    It would take a new level of destitution, that's for sure

    Entry level MT's
    Hello.................I know all of you are tired of hearing about how hard it is to find a job at entry level.  I have two certificates from two separate programs.  I have been working for a clinic here where I live part time typing clinic notes.  It is only about two hours per day.  I found a lady on this site who said she would hire anybody if she could find somebody willing to work.  I emailed her and she promised to get me started asap.  That was a few months before Christmas and she still hasn't contacted me.  Does anybody know how to get started as entry level.  I truly need the work.  My part time is paying well but two hours a day is not very much.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.................

    Spheris pay to level 3/4
    Recently began working for Spheris. After a month in mentoring received half the paycheck expected. Told the offer letter was wrong and there is no training pay. Also told after mentoring if blanks are left for a certain percentage of reports, incentive bonus is taken away. Is all this true? Can anyone respond to what is happening here? These are on ESL accounts. They take away incentive if the docs are not speaking English?
