This is a very 'naive 'question. How could we
know, it has so many variables.
It falls in the same category like asking...
'How long do you think will it take until I get married?'
Or
'How long will it take until a win the lottery?
It depends......
Try the front jack on the front of the CPU if it has one- or on the
it if is not pushed in all the way, sound will only be in one ear.
I know...respond....nm

How did you respond to that
utterly ridiculous comment by a very, very stooopid, stoooopid person posing as a recruiter (or owner, whatever)?
I was trying to respond to both you and the poster
" a good MT should be confident enough with her knowledge and skills to not want or need anyone's pat on the back. If you can't do a good job without a baby sitter, perhaps you should consider another line of work."
Its a bit silly to judge someone's work based on the fact they just want a little interaction with their supervisor, i've been doing this long enough, and just saying I know my stuff. One does not have to do with the other! You guys go far in left field for an insult.
Absolutely would rather respond to
than a company that did not. I don't want to waste my time. I applied at 2 in the past and after going through the hiring process, did not offer me what I wanted as they said they could not afford to pay that much and only paid a certain CPL. Wasted my time. I will not apply now unless I know before what they will pay.
Will normally only respond to the ones that post pay
The hiring process can be so lengthy. I am not going to go through all of that (submitting application/resume, testing, interview, and sometimes verbal testing and phone interview) only to find out in the end they aren't going to offer me the money that I'm looking for. I want to know what they are offering up front so I don't waste my time and they don't waste theirs.
okay, I tried but I couldn't help myself, I have to respond
let me get this straight - you spent 5 years in college, are an engineer and because you can type fast you want to get into a field where you might make 20,000 the first year - but it is rather laughable that you think typing is all that is required here - when most of us who have been doing this for 20-30 years are doing good to make 30-40,000 a year and are afraid that we won't be needed much longer because of computer (as an engineer you surely are familiar with them) technologies such as speech recognition and offshoring to India where the work is cheaper. Now after you finish training - which you will need - a lot of us will already be out of jobs - do you really think this is a viable option for you?
Thanks to all who took the time to respond!
I agree that one can do great things with virtually any expander--even with just casual use it pays for itself within weeks. I am at the point of relying heavily on SH8 due to arthritis (400% productivity gain, heavily nested WordVBA macros, etc.) and am always eager to learn about other programs, but $150 and no free trial is a hard way to learn. Anyone know if InstanText can handle "code" (like WordVBA macros) in the Expanders like SH8 can? Again, thank you all for your thoughtful responses.
Yes it goes to the company. If you respond to
any post the e-mail address is hidden.
Did anything become of that meeting? How did they respond to you?nm

I don't respond negatively to someone asking for help . . .
whether they are asking for something that would be incredibly hard (i.e. finding a job where you could work between diaper changes, naps, etc.). However, he could find something that has a split shift or like a 10 hour window to get 8 hours of work in. There are options out there.
In regards to someone posting about wanting to work around their child's schedule? I would respond the same way. I would try and help.
Well duh, to see people respond, wouldn't you think? nm x

Yes, I tend to only respond to ads that list how
I do not respond if it says competitive salary.sm
That to me means 6 to 8 cpl. The company I work for now had no pay range listed, but said excellent salary. Turned out it was. Paid by the minute now and making much more than I was by 65 character line.
Just delete them, never respond. Its a scam. nm

I am not the above person , but thought I would respond -sm
Word is Microsoft Word, there are different versions out there. Since your computer has Windows 98 on it (you don't have to look for it, if you computer turns on and boots up, at some point Windows __ will come up whether is is 98, 2000, XP)-- you can probably only use Word 97 or 2000. The other versions won't work on Windows 98 I think. As for installing it, you can do it. It is very simple, the CD (I hope you have a CD drive) will walk you through the whole installation process. Just to a "typical" install and you will be fine. You may have it on your computer already of course, it generally came on most computers. If not Word you may have Works, which I think will work too, just need to save the files as "documents" with the .doc suffix. -----------As for gross lines, that is just a method of counting lines, a "line" is any line in the document with anything on it, one word or 20 words, would be considered 1 line. So it can be a nice way to get paid, if the doctor just does not do blocks/paragraphs. Some people even charge for the blank lines but I think that is going too far personally. But if the margins are wide (1"), and the type is small, i.e. less than 12 point, then its not so hot. So if is 12 point type and not blocks of paragraphs, a sample would help you figure it out, then I would just at .13 a gross line. Good luck.
Now just try getting someone to respond to your resume and want to test you...nm

Again, thank you so much for taking the time to respond..sm
I thought I was on the right track, but I've only been an IC for five years and have never had my own accounts. I passed on your opinions to my MIL and hope she will listen. I'm leaving to go to California in a couple hours and there is no way I can do it personally, so I hope and pray she does. We really need the account.
can't respond because mailbox is full
what part of please do not respond to that perp
did you not understand...if you respond - you feed the troll - as you can see I reported all posts and 90% of his have been removed....
How do I respond to ads on the job seekers board?
This might seem like a silly question but do I just send my resume using the 'apply now' button or can I and should I also send a cover letter with it? Does it need to be in plain text? Thanks
Anyone know why an HP all-in-one printer would would intermittently not respond? sm
Only about 1-1/2 years old. No new software installed on computer. Should I uninstall and then reinstall? I can't track any certain document/reason why it does not respond. Thanks.
Be up front
I'd be up front with them and just flat out tell them that you'd rather they didn't contact your current employer. Most companies understand that. Offer plenty of references so they have a way to gauge your work.
Your name sounds familiar. You wouldn't happen to have a husband named Mikkos, would you?
Are you sure there are none on the front? sm
I have a Dell desktop, and I have 2 additional USBs on the front of the tower.
Why it's the poster you like the Amen! posts you respond with.
Why not admonish this poster for "negativity"? I'm bored with your game now. You have lost all hope of following a train of thought, yours or mine. Besides, I think you have multiple personality disorder. Not that I know that but I suspect that. I'm going back to work to let you and all the MQr, MQMT and MQga?? battle your private battles that have somehow become public because you have delusions of grandeur.
I would rather not respond to your questions, as your tone seems a little angry

YOU didn't respond, but the REAL Frank did.
Also cc'd the board of directors in so that could enjoy the show also.
On this format, no need to specify to whom you respond, as the setup shows you. nm

If Jacy asks a question, don't respond

Let's do a poll, would you respond to help wanted ad that listed pay
more than you would an ad that did not list pay range? I am finding myself only responding to ads that have a pay range listed. Does anybody else do this? Maybe if those companies out there that needed MTs badly listed pay range then they would get more of a response!
Note: Job ads re: Jax Transcription have been removed until they respond to our

Is anyone going to respond to this Dr. Ahmed? I am kind of afraid to. Do not know who to believe.
NM
I have one available. Respond to email address if interested.
Thank you
Thanks for taking the time to respond nicely...sm
and to give me the good info. There are so many sour people on this board who it seems don't care about helping any fellow MTs.
If you can put a in front of it, it is followup..sm
For example he had a followup visit scheduled. OR He is to come in for followup in 2 weeks.
He will follow up in 2 weeks. OR
He is going to follow up with me in 2 weeks.
Hope that helps
One foot in front of the the other sm.
Oh honey please run don't walk, right out that door. This man you live with is only in your life to beat you down with discouragement and lies. Please do not allow this to continue. You were created by one who counted the hairs on your head, is the God of the universe but he knows you by name. He did not make you for destruction but for good. Please take your children away from a person who would put them down, call them names and does not care one bit about their well being. Begin to look at yourself for the wonderful, divinely created queen that you are, you have purpose and potential and this man is only there to keep you from seeing it. The day you walk out the door and shut it a ton of weight is going to fall off your shoulders as you will begin to realize that he does not love you, he does not love anyone but himself. You have to show your kids that you love them too much to let anybody (even their own father) treat them as less than great. You are a woman and deserve to be cherished, protected and provided for, anything less is not acceptable. Please go and as you do please know that myself and I am sure many other people out here are praying for you and lifting you up. We stand in the gap for you!! Now go girl and don't you dare look back. Go and be fabulous!!
I agree, but front-end AVR and EMR will
the work bring back to the US, with a minimal number of MTs.
Okay, I'll bite and respond but I hope it isn't over your head
Here is what I did. I've had ST for years. I got the updated Stedman's ST. I don't know if you have the comuter skills to do this and this is why I am concerned you still think it's over your head or I'm not trying to help.
All the words in ST are also in the spellcheck. If you use ST, the words on put on your document from Smartype are spelled correctly AUTOMATICALLY. The Stedman's ST was overhauled in 2004 and has all the medications and surgical terms up until then. Now, if you want those words in your own spellcheck without buying their spellcheck, you can add the ST words into your dictionary in two ways.
The first is as you type and spell check at the end of each report.
The second is to convert the ST program into a text file (please go to productivity board for help doing this if you don't know how). Once it is in a text document, run your spellcheck on the entire document and add all the words at one time to your own spellcheck. This may take 2 full days of doing nothing else as the text file is huge. Also, you would need to take out any abbreviated forms first (anything where xxx=xxxxxxxx) so you don't add abbreviated words to your spellcheck. That takes another day's work.
Now, to update from 2004 to today, go to prescribing reference, register and copy all the new medications from the last 2 years onto a blank document, run spellcheck and add those to your spellcheck.
Now go to the Stedman's web site and sign up for the 30-day free trial and letter by letter copy their surgical word list onto a blank document. Run spellcheck to add those words to your spellcheck.
So now ask yourself, if it takes me 5 days to get a spellcheck I didn't have to pay for, how much income did I lose, how much time not getting a job did I lose and was it worth saving a few bucks?
Your choice. I've been around the block a time or two and know that trying to cut corners on how you earn your money isn't smart in this business.
People didn't respond negatively to you here. Don't take it out on the folks here. nm

Thank you for posting. Tech support is checking on this now and will respond.

if people are annoyed, just dont respond, simple.

who are you anyway. Why doesn't the NEW OWNER of the board respond? That is my question.
At least I keep using my same initials of ss. You and others donot even do that, so the few of us who are on this board do not know who we are even talking to.
I meant It is the WISER way to RESPOND to a RUDE comment...nm

That's great news! Dogs respond to clear leadership. (nm)

I have a cat who dashes in front of my feet
I'm thinking of using one of my dogs squeaky toys to get his attention when he cuts me off again, that will show him!
Our cat (yes we have a zoo) plops on my desk right in front of me - sm
usually on my note pad or a patient list, makes it interesting too. But she doesn't usually stay long, and if the dogs are in she hides ---her and the Husky are mortal enemies, granted it does not help that he tried to eat/kill her a couple weeks go-- our signals got crossed and my husband let the dogs in before I could up up the gates to ensure her safety. Luckily I was right there and was able to grab the dog before anything really bad happened. So my husband learned an important lesson that day...communicate with me when you let the dogs in, or put up the gates first.
Had a drive-by shooting right in front of my
home office window in July. Unfortunately, a baby got shot in the head. I thought it was someone setting off cherry bombs or something - the pops were too close together I thought for gunfire. It was 2 girls and a stroller and they didn't even realize the baby had been shot at first. It was a big howdy-do. The cops were out here for hours, blocking off the streets so they could look for shell casings. A couple of news trucks too, although the subsequent TV news reports were somewhat inaccurate regarding the location and details. Never found out what happened to the baby.
Anyway, right after this happened, the guy and teenager kid across the street stayed away from their house for about 2 weeks after, coming by periodically to check on the mail. The cops would occasionally call on the house during that time. I never did find out what the deal was and if there was connection between these people and the shooting, but I always worry about a gang thing or a home invasion thing and they get the wrong house (mine).
OK. Now there are construction guys out front
using a big saw to cut through our new concrete sidewalks that have already been dug up twice since being put in this spring. I can't hear to work. They didn't even warn us of any construction or water shutoffs. How many times do they have to dig up the same old spot this year before they get it right?
One of those would be cool for my front porch. sm
I think I would leave it up all year and decorate it for the different seasons and leave it on all night. I used to know a lady a long time ago, giving away my age here, who had one and had it all decorated with crystal glass ornaments and red garland. I liked it but my mother said it looked like a tin can.
