Monitors burn out every couple of years so turning off the monitor is essential......*S*  Other than that, I leave the MQ computer on 24/7/365 turning the monitor off at night.

    Laura, Don't Give Up!
    Laura E, you feel strongly and you represent so many women in America -- but we don't understand you!   Your argument on a logical level is HIGHLY ILLOGICAL, and therefore it does not hold water.  Make it hold water!   Come back and explain, please please please!  Don't just say (in effect), Well that's what I think, so there.  Not good enough and it makes your words be just so many grains of sand.  Pull together a LOGICAL argument and turn your stance into something concrete, if you are able.  Otherwise, your opinion -- and the opinions of millions of women just like you -- is nothing more than a that:  a wispy, vacuous opinion, and you have not convinced a single person that your viewpoint is correct because it is logical.  It is not. 
    Most definitely LAURA BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nm

    Laura w/drunk huby
    Get a voice activated one,keep it in a central spot where he's usually starting his crap. My ex had total amnesia the next day after his drunken rants...one night, he got so vicious, he started spewing how he was going to kill me..a long slow death...my DD had the wisdom to turn the recorder on...he never touched me, but I got us OUT before he could...That tape sealed my case on domestic violence charge AND the subsequent divorce....you could have heard a pin drop in that courtroom. Again, did not touch me "that night" but it was his thought that counted, against him LOL
    Hey Laura - I live in Mechanicsville -
    Didn't realize there were others on this board from my neck of the woods. Maybe we should start a dinner club for MTs?
    Oh Laura - sorry to hear about your daughter....sm
    I am glad that you got to make this special trip and know the memories will last all of your lifetime.
    I agree with above, Laura's statement
    I believe Edix at one time allowed their employees to stop early if they achieved their required line counts for the day. At least that is what I was told. It depends on the company. It's kind of crazy mentality to think you're "stealing" from the company if they require you to be on for 8 hours after you've achieved maximum lines for the day only to find out after the 6th hour there is no work available at all on any accounts! Stealing?? NOT!
    So funny, Laura! Me, too, I wish I was back
    in the 160s to 180s in weight!!! My IQ is probably going down, while my weight takes up the #s slack!!
    Laura's must be -20 cuz she married that stupid GW

    are you the same Laura E who did not even make 12k last year? That doesn't
    sound like plenty of work. It sounds like PT and that does not mean that there is enough for FT.
    Thanks Laura. I didn't seem my first open casket until

    I was in my mid 20's and I just about passed out.  I had never been to one.  Although I respect and understand other religions and rituals, my husband is not a practicing Catholic and feels the same way that I do.


    I appreciate your input.  It's a tough decision.


    No, Laura. That's not true. I did research the woman. I believe
    even you and I talked about her.  And, the person who has not yet shipped the footpedal is not Kristen Pineda.  It is someone else from a completely different state.  I have contacted the seller and let her know that she has 3 days to ship the pedal or I would file a police report myself as well as take legal action against her for conducting fraud on the MTStars website. 
    Laura Bush. Not to start an argument, LOL, I really do. nm
    .
    Laura=nice lady but seems so nebish-like..nm

    I like Laura Bush, She has alot of class.

    If we want to get personal about the husband situation, then I mean come on, who can forget all of Bill Clintion's antics??  Ole' Hillary stayed w' him just to further her career.  To me personally, When I look at the current Bushs I can see they they like each other, even DARE I DAY IT< LOVE each other.  With the Clinton's all you got was cold air from Hillary, but then again who can blame her?  But she is the one who stayed......so I don't feel bad for her at all.


    THESE ARE JUST MY OPINIONS!!!!!!  Everyone have a wonderful day!!!!


    Laura, the person who scammed the OP is not Kristen Pineda. This is a
    completely different person altogether. We are dealing with the situation from this end. Thank you.

    Anyone know of online production seminars for WP like Laura Bryan offers
    for Word?  I have only used Word before, now new company requires WP.  Just feel like I'm grinding gears trying to get used to this.  I would like to start with the basics.  Thanks.
    Do it correct always. It will learn. Everyone has to do it correct all the time. nm

    If you are careful with putting the correct report in the correct report shell and patient, you will
    not have any problems. I only take away this option when someone is careless. There can be NO room for error on this. One mistake can be very serious. Many do it well though, so just double check and you will be fine.

    okay, you are correct of course, except
    The below posters are correct, of course. I called my boss and they said, "No, this would PROBABLY be against the privacy laws." About the 'Googling" of names, however, the only reason I have been Googling names is because the doctors won't SPELL THEM OUT, and my accounts are not 'searchable'. I do not use any info besides just the name...no SS #... if I find a Verbatio Kertalino (not a real name)in Google in the correct city, I can be pretty darn sure this is the correct person. If there is any specific reason I should not do this, I will stop, but I do not think so! If you posters are pretty SURE this is not ethical, I will call my boss and ask about that also! I use Google also, of course, to look up the spellings of local businesses and hospital and clinic names that they do not spell out. Otherwise, every single report would go to QA! And, if you can't post in a courteous manner, please do not bother posting at all!
    That is correct
    Any useful tips that a QA member can provide an MT is great. Expansions, websites, etc. If I fill in a blank, I would be apt to send an MT a link to go along with it where she can find it and bookmark it for later use.
    5 gm is the correct way nm
    x
    You are very correct...
    and it IS bad, but ya know something? I'm thinking that even we poor MQer's have it made compared to those in New Orleans. I know I finding myself b******* a lot less these days (rare for me lol!). Just my 2 cents (which you're right about - that will soon be the going rate at MQ lol)....
    whether to correct
    I certainly do correct. I've had them mention hysterectomies in males and such.
    Let me correct something here
    I agree with you that there is something wrong with having NO WORK. Keep in mind though, that a lot of these people were complaining just for the mere fact that they had several accounts and couldn't remember all the client specifics and not because they were out of work!
    you are probably correct
    The poor thing obviously has some serious issues.
    That is correct.
    nm
    Correct way
    BOS 2 says 10 to the 5th
    She may be correct
    She was probably speaking of 1% of the TOTAL JOBS through the U.S., not merely the segment of MT. She might also have sidestepped those with Green Cards who are working in this country. You see that with programming positions. And then there's that segment of jobs that people in this country don't want to do (i.e. scrubbing toilets), so the illegal aliens do that.

    Look at the forest rather than the tree.
    this is correct; nm
    ;
    What is the correct way?

    Being a nurse I have always charted/documented carcinoma in situ as CIN-I, CIN-II, CIN-III, etc.  Is this the same way when transcribing reports?  I know it was this way at one time but now with the change in the numbers rule per AAMT would we now transcribe this as CIN-1, CIN-2, CIN-3, etc.?


    Thanks in advance,


    Tabatha


    Which is correct?
    Med-Surg Floor, med-surg floor, etc.  Thanks
    You are correct.

    First shift would be considered daytime, second would be evening and third would be the graveyard shift (mine) that is midnight to morning. 


    if I'm correct

    This would happen ONLY if the company you work for pays unemployment tax. If they don't, you're up that well-known creek.

    But the best people to answer that question would be the Labor Board.


    you are correct. I should have said sm
    2-5 years in an acute care setting with a hospital who knows what they are doing! haha.

    I don't really know the answers to all of these problems BUT I do know that I don't have time to argue with an "experienced" MT nor do I have time to train one.

    You have some great points!
    You can correct this now by...sm
    buying the Wireless-G router that has a booster. We did this for the PC that is farthest from the PC that has the main router on it and now that PC is as fast as the main one on its wireless connection. One word of caution: Be sure to set up a secured environment to prevent anyone from using your internet connection. I was amazed when I set up the booster that I was able to view 4 neighbors accounts and could have used them without their knowing. Information on how to set up the secured connection is available on the Linksys website and only took me about 5 minutes to do for the entire system in my house (and I'm NOT computer literate!)
    You may be correct, however
    as it has been stated, client or company preference outweighs what my be considered correct. The company I work for requires 2 spaces after a period. They do not care what may be the correct way as this is what the clients specified to them.
    this is not exactly correct
    the point I am trying to make is operating in a market economy. You posted, "If people are going to function as an IC, they need to understand they are in charge of what they are paid by the MTSO" which isn't exactly true. The MTSO states what they pay and the IC takes it or leaves it. This is the same as saying "you are in charge of telling your employer what you are paid." The employer can say the job pays $8 an hour and then you take it or leave it.  Which then you go on to say, "Personally, I tell an IC what I am willing to pay and if they accept it great, if not, I can negotiate."  Which is exactly why people are taking jobs that pay 5, 6, 7 cpl. Because they need the work, and they can't find jobs in the market that are paying higher, at least not ones that fulfill their other criteria too (perhaps part time, not with a big national, whatever). Most importantly, the falling line pay rates show that global competition is affecting our job market. MT's will need to be prepared to make less as time goes on, not more, over the long haul.
    mac is correct - about 33-35%....sm

    For years I paid quarterly taxes but now I just do it yearly.  It works out to 25-33% for me either way I do it. 


    Good luck!!!! 



    You are correct
    All cost of living has skyrocketed...everything.  Really think about it an IC making 0.12 a line and paying approximately 43-45% in Federal, State, unemployment, etc.etc... 
    Anyone know how if possible to correct...sm
    a document in Word and have the correction and the error show in some way so I can return to MT, and she can see the error and the correction.  Is it even possible to somehow correct, then get rid of the errors easily so I would then have a finished product???
    Correct
    You are right again but I think all of the MT's that are complaining on this subject need to realize that small to medium sized MTSO's like the one I run do not drive these situations. It is the overseas market that started this. They have been lowballing line rates just to get the work and it is terrible quality but hospitals and large medical facilities don't seem to care. That is why we do not market those places anymore. The problem is that our large national companies have jumped right into the mix by using overseas MT's and charging these drastically low line rates to get all the business. Then this affects the american MT's negatively and they get paid less. The whole problem is that I don't think it will change any time soon.

    It's correct, there are not enough MTs, because
    adf
    Correct

    You are correct
    The original poster asks us to visit "her" blog - but did that page look like a blog an MT would have set up quickly about this?

    Of course not - the post is a slick gimmick to get people to believe it's a real money maker.

    I for one ain't biting.
    Actually, the correct way...sm
    is from left top corner to the bottom right corner - diagonally.  It's the same with televisions, too. 
    C would be correct..........*S*
