thanks for replying!
I am in my 24th year of transcribing!  I'm not alone but at times very frustrated...

Thanks for replying...
there's good and bad in there, I guess. I have heard that people in different locations will get different speeds (no matter what speed they are paying for), and that makes me a bit nervous. But stability is just as, or even more important, and it sounds like its been really stable for you. So I'm taking heart and keeping my fingers crossed!  Thanks! 
Thanks so much for replying
I was beginning to think no one would reply for fear of Big Brother watching!
ideally!..:) Thanks for replying. nm

Thanks for replying, thought I might
know you - wasn't intending to make anyone un-anonymous or flame, just wanted to say hi if it was who I thunk it might be. Oh well!

Thanks for replying. I have noticed that there seem to be a lot of ads ... sm
that mention this.  I am thinking of seeing if I can train on it.  I currently work in DOS so at least I am used to that part.  I usually use ShortCut for Windows but I do have ShortHand also but am not as familiar with it.  Just thinking about it - thanks again for your help.
Thanks for replying. May I ask how long it took you
finish your degree?

Thanks for the encouragement also.
I think she was replying to the person who
At least that's my take on it. It's clear you went out of your way to write to that AHDI person and obtain and post her (mis)information-filled reply, and for that I, and everyone else who calls themselves a true AMERICAN MT, thank you! Knowledge is power, and MTs need as much of both as they can possibly get these days.
Kudos for your investigative endeavors!

Oh you think that my grammatical style is bad huh? I just went and reread it and being that I don't feel it was bad. I had to state my point and no it wasn't me! Things just didn't mesh for me and that company! They got a second chance and proved themselves the same! Have you or do you work for this company? Who are you to judge anyways? This board is for posting stuff that most of us posters feel is important for others to see or hear. If I wanted someone like you to comment...I would have asked ok! I am coming along almost a month later because I was working my a** off at a real great place! Sometimes on this posting board thing we don't always type grammatically correct it is not a prerequiste for the posters as I see others not always being grammatically correct! So again I do not know who you are but just yourself let it go cause that last post I made was going to be the last one till I see this! Thanks for caring though! mtinsd
replying to job posting

I am not sure if I am doing this correctly.  I have tried to reply to several job postings and I never hear anything back.  If they don't list an email in the job posting I click on apply now, is this correct?  


I have been an MT for over five years, have experience with many different specialities and ESL dictators, so I think my resume is pretty good. 


Frustrated with work.  I have lost about 6-7 really good doctors over the last 1-1/2 years to VR.  The company I work for says they have no control over who gets switched to VR and are not notified when this happens.  I will have a great work load and then all of a sudden nothing.   Now it seems like there isn't much work to go around. 


Anon, which post are you replying to?
????????????
Thank you so much for replying - that gives me some guidelines to follow
nm
I thought replying might be a "boost"...
so they would know it was coming from one of their own ads and not just an unsolicited resume. Well, shoot! I'll be sure to send a followup email to make sure they got it. Thanks!
Does anyone actually take the time to read the posts BEFORE replying?
been "mentoring" with them for 9-months.....so Yes, she has already been taken for the $$$, and obviously being shot down saying she is not quite good enough yet to "work" for them. ---Ever now and then someone will come on and say they "work" for them and how great they are, but its a bunch of bunk, look at the archives, 99% negative, total scam all the way. Sorry you got taken.
I was replying to a previous post about Bucky.
One poster said that Kellie made Southerners look stupid and one poster said Bucky might get the boot. I was responding to them in my post.
Thanks for replying. I'll check out 2003.

Apparently replying to you. Thats the problem with MTs today.
NOBODY looks over their stuff. The new MTs are taught to hurry, hurry, type, type so you can make lines. When I was learning MT, not at an MT school but in college with my other medical records classes, THEY TAUGHT ACCURACY.

You MTs today dont have a lick of pride in your work, else there would be no mistakes like food instead of foot.

typo? that is a flipping copout.
Good one. An anonymous poster blows another anonymous poster's head off. Great win for MQ?

I guess that is a small pleasure for those of you who have lowered your expectations for the company you work for. 


 


Bet you're married to a fat bald guy too. 


I LOVED IT. . . .
And had to forward it to all my "crabby" friends.
I loved my cat too and still do
I had to put my 18-plus year old cat to sleep 2 months ago.  She was with me since she was born.  She had end-stage renal failure and for a year I had to give her three times weekly infusions of Ringer's.  She was actually really healthy right up until the end though and used to boss the other 2 youngsters around.  I miss her every day.  She went with me back and forth across the country.  I know exactgly how you feel. 
I did and loved it - sm

She came every other week and charged $15 and hour. She would spend 4 hours and she was a white tornado in those 4 hours let me tell you.  I loved, loved, loved having her. 


Unfortunately, i had to let her go when i moved into rehabbers paradise. No sense in paying someone to fight a losing battle until rehabbing is over say in about 10 years :(


 


We did that too, my 2 loved it too! - nm

My mom loved them and had many of them -nm
throughout the years, so I grew up with them. They are nice, though I put my hair in a pony tail so I can see. Started out with an old Plymouth in the 60s and ended with a 2003 BMW Z4 (very nice). They only time it was a drag was in an unexpected rain storm, though now you just push a button and the top goes back on....until her corvette (1 car before the BMW) we had to do it manually, so stop the car, pull up the top, lock, etc. Also in the summer, very hot seats...carry towels so you don't scald off the skin on the back of your thighs, butt and back, though cloth seats would help with that problem, and obviously don't leave anything in the car you wouldn't mind losing (i.e. stolen or blown away). They are fun though, I hope to get one myself one day but content myself with driving with all the windows down now. Have fun shopping.
TFS! Loved it
I need that laugh!!
Loved pet...
I had to put down my Andi (poodle mix dog) today.  Last night I came home from church and found her on the door step apparently hurt.  Brought her to the vet who kept her over night.  I went in this morning but she had multiple fractures and had to be put to sleep.  I don't think I will get another pet.  It's too hard when you lose them.
yes, i saw and loved the

was wondering if the walking tour is only a group tour or is there a map and written directions so that one could walk the tour alone (or with a friend, etc.).


the MT info is good but i am much more interested in NY and seeing it from an *insider's* point of view.   i know that is not the purpose of the blog but maybe you could do something on that line regarding NY??


I used to do these too! Loved them! sm
They were long and kind of boring in my opinion, but I made a LOT of $$ and had a GREAT dictator.  he was so great, in fact, that he transitioned into doing his work by voice recognition without a hitch.  I truly miss that account . . . :(
Loved this. (nm)

Yes, loved it.....sm
Yes, I used it for several years and loved it. It does not have its own expander, but I used InstantText with it quite successfully. I hardly ever hear of it any more. Do you mind sharing what company still uses it?
Loved it
Who still uses this program????  It was great.  Does not have its own Expander but I used Instant Text and it worked great!!
Loved it.
Where did you find it? I am thinking to change mine.
LOVED the job!!!!
I worked for this company a while back & loved the job.  I say to anyone out there reading the same rubbish I did, use your own judgement about a person/job and don't let bitter faceless people influence you otherwise - and THEY talked about being rude?!!!  If I wasn't forced to give up the vet op work (family reasons), I would never have left!  New clinics kept opening every year, and the owner always did her best to keep me informed and made my job as easy as possible!  Some people prefer to work for large transcription companies, but I prefer to work for smaller companies, where you are recognized as being an indvidual that is an IMPORTANT member of the team. 
Loved it!

I enjoyed reading this post.  I guess it was that punch line that really got to me LOL....


Your real-life doc kinda reminds me of Dr. House on TV, though Dr. House seems to have become more contrite during the last 10 minutes of the season finale.


I've always thought that there could not possibly be real life docs out there like House, at least not ones who would be allowed to see patients, but now I am not so sure.


Have you ever thought of a second career in which you take real-life experiences and fictionalize them, send the scripts to the people who make movies and TV shows?  I think you would be very good at that.


 


LOL! Loved your response...
the guy would probably burn the whole neighborhood down just to be sure he got the one who did it!  I really wished there was something I could do, though. I loved your graphics.. That's exactly what I feel like doing!
I loved it. Very moving.

I had one when I was inhouse and loved it! sm

I just wish I could afford to get my own right now. It takes a little getting used to, but not too bad and it's soooooo comfortable. 


 


When I used to use Medrite I loved it.
I'm not sure what that person does not like about it. It was extremely easy to use.
Awww I loved her...
she was a great actress and she made me laugh.  RIP Shelly.
I loved it!! I feel that way every day!!

Yes, but then I loved beaded anything and

oh and loved Gunsmoke!! SM.....

McCloud" Star Dennis Weaver Died











"McCloud" Star Dennis Weaver Died Burt Reynolds:

Burt Reynolds: "He was a wonderful man and a fine actor, and we will all miss him."


American television actor Dennis Weaver best known for his roles as sidekick "Chester Goode" on TV's first "adult Western" Gunsmoke and as Marshal Sam McCloud on the NBC police drama McCloud, died Friday, age 81.



Weaver passed away from complications of cancer at his home in Ridgway, in southwestern Colorado, it was reported Monday by his publicist, Julian Myers.



Burt Reynolds, Weaver's co-star in "Gunsmoke" stated: "He was a wonderful man and a fine actor, and we will all miss him."



Weaver was born in Joplin, Missouri to Walter Weaver and Lena Prather. His first role on Broadway came as understudy to Chapman as Turk Fisher in Come Back, Little Sheba.



He eventually took over the role from Chapman in the national touring company. Solidifying his choice to become an actor, Weaver enrolled in The Actors Studio, where he met Shelley Winters.



During this time--the start of his acting career--he supported his family by doing a number of odd jobs, including selling vacuum cleaners, tricycles and women's hosiery.












In 1952, Winters aided him in getting a contract from Universal Studios. He made his film debut that same year in the movie The Redhead from Wyoming. Over the next three years, he played roles in a series of movies, but still had to work odd jobs to support his family.


It was while delivering flowers for one of these jobs that he heard he had landed his biggest break — the role of "Chester" on the new television series Gunsmoke — the highest-rated and longest-running series in TV history (1955 to 1975). He received an Emmy Award in 1959 for Best Supporting Actor (Continuing Character) in a Dramatic Series.



From 1967 to 1969, he appeared on the television show Gentle Ben as Tom Wedloe.



He began appearing on the series McCloud in 1970, for which he received two Emmy Award nominations: in 1974, he was nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Limited Series and in 1975, for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series. His frequent use of the affirming Southernism, "There you go", became a catchphrase for the show.



From 1973 to 1975, he was president of the Screen Actors Guild.



In 1978, he played the trail boss R.J. Poteet in the television miniseries Centennial on the episode titled "The Longhorns". Dennis Weaver also appeared in many acclaimed television films.



In 1980, he played Dr. Samuel Mudd, who was unjustly imprisoned for the Lincoln assassination, in The Ordeal Of Doctor Mudd. In 1983, he played a real estate agent addicted to cocaine in Cocaine: One Man's Seduction. Weaver received probably the best reviews of his career when he starred in the 1987 film Bluffing It, in which he played a man who is illiterate.



In February 2002, he appeared on the animated series The Simpsons (episode DABF07, "The Lastest Gun in the West") as the voice of aging Hollywood cowboy legend Buck McCoy.



For his contribution to the television industry, Dennis Weaver was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6822 Hollywood Blvd, and on the Dodge City Trail of Fame. In 1981, he was inducted into the Western Performers Hall of Fame at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.


 


Thanks for sharing!! Loved them.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED NCL......
I think it depends on what you are looking for.  I have also been on Celebrity twice.  The thing I love about NCL is the Freestyle Cruising.  Pre-kids days it was nice to get all fancied up and dressed for dinner.  Nowadays I prefer to be very casual and eat whenever I am ready, not at a specific sitting.  The other nice thing about NCL is that you do not have to worry about tipping.  No figuring $3.50 per person per day for this staff member, and $2.50 per person per day for this staff person.  This is all included in the price of the cruise on NCL.  We are trying Carnival in June.  Hope they are as good.  Good Luck
I loved your blog (sm)
What a jolt to reality.  Reminded me of things I'd forgotten I liked about this type of work.  Too easy to concentrate on the negatives day to day.  I have a cat too but he is not as much company as yours seems to be.  Nice spot for him by the window--I'm sure he is very content to hang out with you during the day. 
thanks...Loved Georgia!...nm
