You don't have to open a post to see how many

have viewed it.  It is right beside the date showing at the end of the subject line of each post. 


 


I have no idea what post you are talking about though.


i cannot open ANY post -- just me??

when I open your post
Who is that guy - your husband? Cute.
Thanks for this open and informative post ...

It seems that now getting your own accounts is the only way to go (at least for the time being until the pervasive mood of the industry corrupts even in that area).  My curiosity though lies in how those who are claiming that they work for services are able to do this. 


Also, congratulations to you for your success in getting your own accounts, and thank you for sharing your insight in a manner that doesn't imply that you're trying to belittle those who don't have their own accounts like I've seen others do on this board.


P.S.  On the matter of panhandlers, in the area of the country where I live an investigative reporter did a feature on just this subject a couple of years ago.  Believe it or not, it was estimated that panhandlers in this area average approximately $120K per year.  I tell you, I'm in the wrong profession ...


2 cents you have the most well-rounded open minded post so far.
Thanks for posting.
I am open tomorrow night ......just post a time!

if the post were pulled wouldn't there be no subject line to open? sm
They don't just delete the guts, the whole thing would disappear.
You can't just open the attachment. You need to save it to a file and then open SM
your wave player and load it. 
lets do it

How do I get it ST to open when escription is open?

PLEASE, lets drop this....

I got the help I needed for today.  Let's just drop it.


not sure where my link went but lets try again

a key fob lets you into some place

I live in a huge complex and each building has their own electronic box (boxes) on every door that the owners/residents use a key-fob for to enter...the gym, any external door, business center, conference room, etc.


Is that what you're speaking of?  Something that is usually plastic and hangs on a keychain to allow entrance somewhere......


How to get job that lets you earn only up to
x
IF MQ LETS YOU GO, ARE YOU GOING TO REFUSE TO TAKE $$ FROM THEM?
Be honest.
DECREASE IN PAY!! LETS REBEL

they want to decrease our ME pay by 20%. we need to all be asked to go back to MTs and earn what we are worth


Lets ask Frank about spaces
Well, maybe all us MQ workers should send a friendly letter to Frank (isnt he still the CEO?)  and ask if we get paid for spaces.  I have been told in the past I do, however, I have noted a decrease in lines when switching to DQS and dont know where those lines went.  I have to work one to two hours more a day to make the same line count I made on Cottage, in the **good old days**..OMG, not paying for spaces?  Well, then maybe we should not space between words or sentences, cause it takes our thumb to hit the key board and know when to space, Im working here..It working to put in spaces..I should be paid!!..Or, okay, dont pay me for spaces, then pay me more for my lines and my intelligence and my knowledge of medical..
There you go, lets have a thread about old cars!!!
yeah.
GO PANTHERS !!! Made it once, lets do it again. nm
 
What version are you using? Mine lets me do that. sm
I checked to see if there was a setting you need to adjust, but could not find one. I use an older version 8.70b, and it lets me do that, but I know the older versions than what I have did not allow that.
Try a noise machine - we have one that lets you....sm
choose between the sounds of a waterfall, crickets chirping, and other sounds that I got my daughter for $10 at Target. Good luck!
what job lets you decide how much money

Lets cut all cables to India! sm
You know, some other countries don't permit their citizens to access US websites because of salacious content.

I say, we should not be allowed access via the internet to ANY third world backwater where they are sending American jobs!!!!

We should also block content to said polluted backwaters if it involves employment in this country.

Keep America great, preserve our borders real and virtual. Keep American jobs for Americans and LEGAL immigrants.

umm yeah and please learn to speak English.
What company lets you work off the clock?

I prefer to work off the clock for my extra lines.


Okay, lets just throw aside the fact he lives

If the system lets you access old reports, you'll have

Lets bottom line this, say she leaves and goes to another company
What do you think would be her chances of them going to VR? Do you think it will go poof and disappear? Do you think refusing to take lower wages makes the companies take notice and reverse to go back to the golden days when we had really good salaries? Be willing to bet that next paycheck most would go along with their companies going to VR rather than changing, going to a new job only to find out the same thing happens there.
Well, lets hope they keep the regulars on their own accounts because the hospitals know who types
regularly in those accounts and how the work is and if there is no complaining from the doctors and all of a sudden when you start throwing a whole bunch of new backups in there and the docs start complaining the hospitals can look in those systems and see who is working and then they call and complain to the MQ office and some have threatened to leave if the situation doesnt get straightened out which means you go back to just the regulars that really know the hospital. 
Lets try this again. With all the big nationals running us out or work and lowering our wages what
do you suggest.
Here I was worried about groceries. Lets worry about your stuff. Its easier.
;P
Lets hope it is not geared line count per hour the way we run out of work and are in so many
other accounts all the time. Boy that would be bad.
Going to keep this in the open
For anyone who did not read the previous.
I Already Open it
Please Tell Me How I can Remove it
Okay, this should be open to all MT's...sm
Thanks for bring me up short. This question should be open to all MT's, especially those working for other companies. Tell me what you like as well as what you dislike. If this comes about I want to try to fulfill those dreams and requirements as well as make a profit. I'm not greedy - I believe it sharing the wealth. Again, I want to get and RETAIN great employees!
Open
Express Scribe and click on Settings. Click on Files, and un-select the work file types you want the other program to open.

Or, open the program you want to use, find the equivalent settings in it, and then make sure the file types ARE selected.
This is what I was saying....the box does not always open.
My question is how do I manually open this box when it does not show up in the background or anywhere else. Thanks
Why do you want to open this?
If you don't know what this is, you probably don't need to be messing around with it, especially if you are being taken to a website that wants money to fix it for you.

If nothing was wrong with your computer before, you probably have no reason to need this. You didn't say how you ran into this, but in the event it is a scam, why don't you leave it alone.


AN OPEN NOTE TO MTS

1-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when in screening applications 20 of 25 resumes are full of errors, typos and people applying that do not come NEAR to fitting the job requirements.


2-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when you are hired to work hours YOU REQUESTED and then you do not even bother to start work, call, email, just nothing. 


3-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when you are tested and screened only to find out that several "friends of friends" circulated the test around and while you do wonderfully on the test, now in the real situation, you can not figure out the difference between discrete and discreet.


4-Do not wonder WHY you were given less and less work, but take a look at the quality of work you produced...full of blanks, not formatted to specifications in the manual sent, skipped reports.  When Q*A has to redo 90% of your work, it is easier to quietly phase you out than to continue to "train" a supposedly seasoned MT


5-Do not wonder WHY you were taken off an account, but look at the feedback you were given regarding the continued mistakes with spelling (you do not use the spellcheck as too time consuming - your words), continued mistakes with doctors signatures, names, formats, phrases.  Your position is to "pound out lines" and not worry about the quality. 


6-Do not wonder WHY no one will hire you...after all, MTSOs communicate with each other too and the same names just seem to cycle through


7-Do not wonder WHY companies look overseas for workers...because at least THEY want to work.  They are not taking days off at a time with no notice...leaving a company and client in the lurch. 


8-Do not wonder WHY your resume was not answered...you applied before, were tested before and never bothered to answer emails regarding hiring...never bothered to start on your start date...resumes are kept and note made of why someone that seemed very qualified was not hired.


9-Do not wonder WHY you were not hired...remember me?  I am the one that tested you, screened you, then talked to you for quite some time on the phone interviewing you.  Remember me?  I am the one you "sold" yourself to as far as being ethical, good worker, etc., only to find out that you received the hiring package, then contacted the client directly and suddenly, you did not want the job and then I see you are working FOR THEM....


10-Do not wonder WHY you were not hired after taking the test...take a look at the test results and the responses back you made like "that is how I have always done it" and I do not think you are correct because that is not how I was told or trained to do it.


11-Do not wonder WHY you were quietly let go...check your invoices and the inflated lines and/or hours on there?  The system SHOWS the reports you ran, lines you did, but you continue to add report numbers not done by you and lines not done by you.  AND for bonus hours...you continue to add bonuses that were not earned.


12-Do not wonder WHY I cringe when it comes time to hire again..I cringe because of every MT out there that shows NO RESPECT to a potential employer now or down the road by ignoring remails.....receiving a test, but never taking it...getting a test graded and offered position but never responds back....going through entire hiring process with access codes, start dates and times but then NEVER even starts...or the ones that we PAY a computer guy to get set up and they never start working...or we send software and equipment to and then never get it back or have a legal fight to get it back.


There are two sides to ever story, this I know, but as an MTSO the above are simply a FEW of the hundreds of things experienced in trying to hire just ONE good MT....


How do you open up that .lex file to....sm
copy/paste it into MS Word?  When I try opening it, it asks what format do I want and every option I've tried hasn't worked. 
Open Shorthand
Highlight the entry you'd like to get rid of, then hit the little trashcan icon in Shorthand to get rid of it.
open your pea brain :)

he comes from the ghetto, his family still lives in the ghetto, he's trying to help kids in the ghetto......and you want him in a TIE, TUX, and TAILS?  He is dancing for a charity.  That's all he's there for.  To get $$ toward his charity of helping kids in and around the ghetto.


Perhaps you want him to dress like the late Fred Astaire? 


Get real.................


It certainly is a thorn! Don't open any of it, though.
That's why I got concerned, and still concerned even with this SpamBayes, as there could be a virus in some of it.  Also, hackers may be trying to get into your stuff, maybe all they need is for you/ me to click on it and to get information, don't know all of it, but I won't open any of their stupid email.
