frank went to hawaii to evaluate and study the accomodations.
Frank didn't think this Hawaii vacation would serve the purpose he had in mind so the CEOs are putting their heads together and doing a study and are sure that the new Hawaii vacation they come up with will please all involved but in the meantime please continue transcribing as they value all of our efforts and will get back to us on the Hawaii vacation in a year or so once the CEO and managers form committees to study the vacation and fair way of chosing a winnner while studying the effects of a vacation on work habits of the lowly MT.

frank is in hawaii and won't be back until he feels like it. or he is fired,
Ask Frank is still on MQ website. Greg is back. Can Greg help?

Ask Greg or Frank or whoever is the current CEO. They can check e-mails from Hawaii.

Aloha.

frank says aloha and wishes you were here but unfortunately funds for Hawaii vacation dried up.
Frank is now working on a vacation for lucky MT to home office in beautiful downtown New Jersey.

Hawaii
Well, next time I see a St. Jude's ad with those sobbing parents and bald headed kids, I'll think of you and 2 MTs going to Hawaii on the money donate to your hospital.

I am going to Hawaii and I am NOT an...sm
AAMT official. I just "plan ahead" and got airfare/hotel pkg early at discounted rate...simple. I am self-employed MT. Can't wait to see Hawaii!!

do you mean you are in Hawaii and they

won't hire you? I thought Hawaii was part of the US??

Hawaii anyone?
Hey does anyone here want to move to Hawaii w me? We could type all morning, then we could go be beach bunnies n then come back home and type some more---what do you think?

Hawaii
Not much advice other than to do your research first, obviously. Hawaii can be much more expensive to live depending on where you move. We lived in Honolulu and it is WAY overpriced, and it is near impossible to find apartments. That is the reason we moved away. We had our son and couldn't find a place to live and most of the places in our price range ($1000 a month) were just dumps. Every place had 20 or more people also applying for it. After 6 months of searching for a place to live, we decided to move back to the mainland.

Now we are moving back, but we are moving to the Big Island. Prices are cheaper and it is more laid back. We want away from the city. Since I have a family, we are getting our own place. We are going to start with a 1-bedroom apartment temporarily until we find out what area we want to live and then we will find a house. But if I were single again and moving, I would find someone that needs a roommate. This is what I did before. I moved with my sister, and then we she moved away, I moved in with some friends. We were able to get a nice house with all 3 of us sharing the rent. I also would not sign a full years' lease unless you are absolutely sure you want to stay. Many go over only to realize Hawaii is not paradise. Some love it, some hate it. It is a different culture and a different mindset there. But I love it and can't wait to return. Feel free to email me with any questions. : )

Hawaii trip
Do you know how we can find out? I mean, today is July 11th, so its 10 days from when the winner was supposedly chosen! I have to put in my vacation time doncha know! LOL

MQ Hawaii trip
According to the MQ home page, it states that someone named Lori Gryttenholm is the winnder of the trip. It didn't say which office she is from.

thank me. i tried, but they dont do hawaii :(

Hawaii - everything except sleep

warm hawaii
it will be my first time living in hawaii-any advice? are you getting your own place out there? I'm in the freeeezing cold smack in the middle of the country right now so I am also looking forward to escaping!

yes, that is true, but Hawaii is much different.
moving to a place where they are suddenly the minority. I have lived all over the United States, having moved to a new state just about every year since I was 19, but moving to Hawaii was definitely a culture shock to me at first. Luckily, because I have moved so much, I adapted quickly, but others do not do so well. That is why if you visit any forum regarding Hawaii, you will find many haoles (non-Hawaiian, usually refering to "white" people) complaining about the locals being racist. Many can't leave the mainland mentality behind on the mainland and those are the ones who end up hating Hawaii.

Hawaii trip for 2 winner?
Does anyone know if they have announced the winner for Hawaii trip offered by MedQuist? When I filled out my entry form it said the winner would be announced on July 1, 2005. I am so curious! :)

Medquist Hawaii Prize
Anybody heard who won the trip to Hawaii? Or did Frank and Greg go with their secretaries?

actually there was a hawaii vacation but he traded it in

yay us!

AAMT conf in Hawaii

Must be nice, but I sure don't know many MTs who could afford it. Also, as an IC, if I take time off I simply don't get paid!

Interestingly, Kim Buchanan (the current president of AAMT) was formerly employed by Healthscribe. In fact, due to her AAMT status, she was a feather in their cap (so to speak). No conflict of interest there...

He often leads parades in Hawaii...
where he chants "No ice in paradise!" - referring to crystal meth - big problem there.

Moving to Hawaii in June!
I will be working from 4 am til about 10 or 11 and then going to have the rest of the day to enjoy the sun and surf! Lived there before and loved it and can't wait to get back.

Can't even afford a vacation on the mainland! Hawaii?!! No could do. nm

Tropical paradises. Hawaii cannot be beat.

I heard Frank traded vacation in for 10,000 chapsticks.
I'm waiting to hear from you regarding this.

Listen Mrs. Frank MQ. Just because Frank gave all his MTs a chapstick doesn't mean

he loves you less. You have to learn to share such a charismatic dude as Frank. There is enough Frank for all of us. Now go wipe your eyes and get your chapstick and be ready for Frank when he finally gets home. He has worked hard today looking for Christmas presents for MTs to top the chapsticks and that's not easy.

PS: I hear he got us nail files to keep us MTs prettied up. How cool is that? Maybe you could help him get that MQ emblem on the files for that personal touch.

I went to MQ web site where Frank is now answering questions. Looks like Frank
is running behind on his questions because they are last dated May 11. Maybe he is in Hawaii?

Frank still loves the ranks even if you are rankled by Frank.
Frank cares. Didn't you get your chapstick? He doesn't want you to get chapped lips. Now that beats a raise doesn't it. Money is so impersonal. MQ chapsticks mean so much more. Lots of thought went into bypassing raises and just mailing those chapsticks that are clever enough to fit on a keychain that Frank including. That's big!

frank has needs just as we do. if frank needs a personal touch, i'm there for him.
just say the word. frank has so many stressors perhaps that extra personal touch will enable him to clear his mind and understand the mts who just want to help him. frank, we are here for you dude. just say the word.

so what becomes of frank? who will we go to with our questions? i have bonded with frank.
will you be keeping him on? can we ask you our deepest personal questions like we did with frank?

There is only ONE frank in the MT world. Frank (Mr. MQ) whatever his last name is.
We love you Frank! We miss you!

OKAY! I need a vacation. Frank and fans of Frank/MQ who won the Hawaiian vacation?
Does anyone know?

Not the AD but when that other giveaway was going on - sm
I found it once on the WAHM board, so I would presume the Secret Santa can be on any board listed to the left. Remember it looks like any other post....at least in that last giveaway it did; hence it is very hard to find.

Thank you MTstars for doing the giveaway again!

It says you must enter each giveaway to be qualified
I think that means each different one you need to enter separately. that is the way the posts sounded to me anyway.

Excuse me, but I don't see any other MT site putting on a giveaway

Sorry if you don't like my response, but it's just not that difficult to enter.
