    Does anyone pay someone to clean their house? sm
    If so how often do they clean for you and how much do you pay them?   What size home do you have? i.e. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room and kitchen?
    I need help to keep my house clean. What should I pay?
    Am thinking 10.00/hr cash of course. Is that too low? My house just needs maintenance (floors, dusting, countertops).
    No hubby. Clean my house when I feel like it, for me. I like it this way.

    Sherri's post

    Sherri,


    I admire your character.  Whether it is to a company outsourcing to celebrating Christmas, you tell it like it is.  That is right, you are owner of this website and as such you can call the punches.  Always stay true to yourself.


    That's what he said, you should email Sherri yourself and let

    Merry Christmas to you too Sherri
    I am so glad more people are standing up for their beliefs
    I got the BLING! Thanks for the "ruby" Sherri. I can't believe this

    It looks like the genuine article, but the picture of Marilyn Monroe wearing the real deal makes it seem real to me!  I'm also easy to please.  Anyway, thanks again.  Jo


    you people underestimate Sherri. nm

    You're right, to a point, Sherri
    I really WAS very blessed that my first 2 service jobs were under excellent mentors. I have some horror stories from my hospital job after 3 years of service work (yes, I did it backwards, lol!) - the jealousy, the backbiting, the (very wrong) accusations of cherry-picking. Our in-house "quota" was 1000 lines in 8 hours. I could do that and still take a 15-minute break every hour, so I was regularly posting in the 1500's and had once or twice exceeded 2000. The jealous gossip that inspired still confuses me. I tried hard not to talk about my production, but everybody could see everybody else's production for the day, which doctors they had transcribed, how many reports, etc., so there was just no way to avoid being compared to everybody else. The icing on the cake was when I needed FMLA (and then used that up and needed an unpaid personal leave) to care for my dying child. I couldn't leave the job because I was the one carrying the health insurance that covered his treatment, but you better believe I was out of there within 6 months after he passed away!

    And I didn't get started talking about a particular supervisor at a particular service (NOT the Q or any of its acquisitions). I was every bit as thankful that she WAS NOT my first supervisor as I WAS thankful that Fran and Carolyn were my first mentors!!!

    Anyway, my point to this whole tirade, whether others agree or not, is this: While our profession may be doomed in the long run, we will feel better about ourselves and be able to sleep peacefully at night if we remember to treat others with kindness and respect. We don't have to be everybody's perfect mentor, but at least we can try to not be hurtful, and at least we can find a few to mentor that we are hopeful will succeed.
    pay attention
    I think you got confused, I did not call you or anyone else a fool.

    Like I said.......looking for attention....

    You pay 100% attention to work while SM
    you are working and get someone to care for the baby while you are working.  Same when it gets bigger.
    Pay attention to the above post...sm
    This lady knows what she is talking about....not that the others don't. When you allow the Lord to have reign over your life and let Him love you, things do turn around in ways we could never imagine in our own right. I wish I had realized this 8 years ago, but sadly I did not.

    I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
    And if you pay attention to all of her postings
    strange
    I should have paid attention,,,,

    I got approached about possibly doing the transcription for a local doctor office - 4 doctors.  I have DSS player and they have used DSS system before, but how would I get the files from their computer to my computer.  Could they load them into a folder and then winzip them and sent to me? Is there an easier way?


    I know this was discussed before. I had no idea then I might get this opportunity, so I didnt pay much attention to the post. 


    ATTENTION TYPISTS!!!!
    Back in the 1980s there was a doctor in California who used to start each dictation with the command, "ATTENTION TYPIST."  He was a real peach.  He had no friends in the transcription department, I can assure you.  Later on, when I graduated from college and was an RN he had the gall to call up the nursing station and demand that one of us "girls" get over across the street to his office as one of the patients we had cared for in the hospital the previous week had gone over to his office for an "office visit" (that was because he was so pompous that he did not wish to see that poor patient in the hospital). The patient while in his office  "defecated" on his carpet and he felt that was our "job" to clean up after incontinent patients even if they were in HIS office.   I swear this is true.  We told him he should call a cleaning service.  He blew a gasket.   I guess it could have been worse if we had the Chimpanzee guy.  I think I would have knocked him in the head after I sued him for harassment.  I saw down further where someone hoped he was a now a patient.  Me too and I hope he is constipated and no one gives him a stool softener.  I hope when he rides in the ambulance from the acute care to the rest home that he overhears the ambulance attendants refer to their call as a "lizard run."  I hope someone puts cornflakes in his bed.  I can't stand pomposity!  I hope he is roommates with "Attention Typist" - they might actually understand each other.   
    Attention Administrator

    When everything hit the boards a few days back, you (well, whoever is running the board these days) stated that if anyone had a problem and wanted to leave this board, send a message and write "unsubscribe" in the message line.


    I did that and just did a test post to see if you unscribed my email address.


    You haven't.


    I think everyone here is watching your actions and I expect you to unscribe me. I am posting this in public as you failed to respond to a private email.

    Kindly delete any of my posts that you feel the urge to edit.  I would rather you delete than skew the content and purpose of my communication caused by your editing.  Of course, it is not necessary for me to participate on these forums at all.
    hang in there, pay attention
    Just hang in there.  Pay special attention to every report, especially the errors you have done in the past, and follow your account specifics exactly (keep a copy next to you)  Practice makes perfect. 
    Someone called it to my attention
    that I should use the term offshoring instead of outsourcing. We use the word outsourcing at my hospital so this didn't even occur to me. So just wanted to address this:) thanks again!
    People, please pay attention. This isn't just one person
    that had a personalty conflict of whatever.  Everyday there is someone else with a valid issue. 
    no problems. you must learn to pay attention as you go along. once is enough.
    btw, if it is a very difficult person to do i will listen twice in the course of transcription and then flag it for QA.
    sounds like he needs attention and is afraid

    Good for you. That's really all we can do is call their attention to it.

    I posted this to get the administrator's attention
    Thank you.
    Attention QA people - PLEASE READ :)
    I'm fed up with the company I work for.  Can any of you who are HAPPY with your QA job tell me what company you work for?  I have been looking but it's hard to know which companies offer :1) Decent pay;  2) A relatively flexible schedule; and, very important 3) Appreciation!  I would like to find a smaller company as I work for a very LARGE national company (can you guess who? lol) - I'm sick of feeling ignored and invisible and would like to work for a smaller to medium sized company that actually values its employees.  Please, don't say you can't tell me who you work for - I really need some guidance here!  Thanks. 
    Awwww. She just loves you and wants some attention. sm
    I have one cat in particular who always hits the keys.  When I see her coming, I have to roll my keyboard drawer back under the desk or my transcription will look like this or get signed off prematurely.  zzzz zzzz zzzz zzz zzz zzzzz zzz zzzx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx
    I think she's a dork who desperately needs attention

    Oh, geez. This is a troll! LOL Pay no attention!!
    LOL
    No - don't give it up - just keep going. Pay attention to their style and what they want.
    You will do fine. Stop beating yourself up. Every company and every account may have a different style they follow. You should have account specifics - just review those and follow their guidelines.
    The nastiness had some attention on other forums, and seems to (SM)
    have toned down. Good Luck! Small steps add up to big things. And, "Well-behaved women rarely make history."
    who pays attention to those initials anyway?

    But I still know what you mean.  I sometimes type things that I don't agree with.  But his opinions, his take, I am just the MT. 


    ATTENTION EMDAT USERS!!!...
    If you use EMDAT, you may not have to purchase one of the Start Stop pedals that they say you have to.  When you are ready to sign onto InScribe, there is an options box, click on that and hopefully you will see the system that you already have.  If not, I suggest you load express scribe and then you can use it.  Just thought somebody out there would find this info helpful.  Hope it helps someone.
    clean
    I already thought of that, but I hear they aren't worth crap.
    sometimes have to clean
    you know you can take the ball out and clean it? If not, turn mouse over and twist plate direction of arrows.
    have you tried the can of air to clean it?
    this is a post I just read:

    My Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard is quite nice. The keys are all attached to the front of the keyboard. Just unscrew the back and the front lifts up with all the keys. On the bottom part of the keyboard remains the rubber/silicon and circuit board, which can be sprayed off. I then submerge the top keyboard in scalding hot soapy water to clean it.
    I pay attention to the screen, listen again as needed, sm

    then send it on it's way.  My latest QA score was 99.4. 


    This is an intense job, and you have to really concentrate on the screen.  That's why the burn out factor is so huge.  I have tried listening and proofing every report again, and rarely found a mistake.  If I did this all the time, it would cut my pay in about half, and would not be worth the effort. 


    I wonder how much attention HappyMomMT pays to her kids...
    while she writing dissertations on this board?  Sheesh, I've never seen such verbose postings in all my life.  I for one don't have that kind of time, I have children to pay attention to.
    You must have a small attention span because i only said a few words..definitely

    This is a very serious situation that requires medical attention
    Believe me, it will be worth it. You need a slow steady six month wean off that powerful medication or your body could possibly seize up with an abrupt withdrawal - and that needs to be monitored by people who can help you.

    I took Klonopin rx'ed for a year to help me sleep. When stress factor was removed, I tried to stop it and nearly went crazy literally. It sends you into a state that is highly agitated and your thought process is also going to be useless (you need to be with people whom you are safe with, people who know you). Tinnitus is one symptom that I experienced which was at a high decibel. Had I the ability to get away from work, I'd have gone into detox but instead, i cut pills up over six month period and weaned - even with the wean, you see, it is nearly unbearable. Oxycontin is being considered to be pulled off the shelf because of its highly addictive nature. When prescribed for over a two week period, providers should tell a patient what to expect when they want to stop the med; had I known, I would never have taken it. In the end, I appeared to be a drug-seeking individual when I was only in a state of anxiety due to the state my body and mind was in and could not tolerate it - leading me to beg for just one more prscription to get me off that monster of a drug.

    Please, find another physician, possibly a psychiatrist as they are familiar with this, and get a regimen that will cause the least symptoms if you cannot go into a 30 day detox program.


    Seek medical attention quickly.
    It could be an allergic reaction. 
    excuse me, didn't pay close enough attention.
    that doesn't exist, lol.
    I'm not preaching. And anyone who cares is still paying attention. SM
    If you don't care, then you'll be without a job soon enough.  The rest of us will try elevate medical transcription while you work for pennies and compete with the Indians.
