    wasn't supposed to be in that perp's home....nm

    The easy part is making the decision to leave, the hard part is
    actually doing it.  Been in your shoes and it took me a year and a half to leave after I had made the decision to do so.  It was the best thing I have ever done for myself and my girls.  I had family and friends and a counselor telling me what needed to be done and I knew what needed to be done but until I had the courage on my own to do it I stayed.  One day, we had an argument and he spit in my face and that was the last straw for me.  Even though it is something that I will NEVER forget, that day is also a day I will never forget because it is the day that I took my kids and left.  I am a single mom of 2 and have been single and supporting us for 5 years now.  I have been healing ever since and still am to this day.  You can do this.  I know that if I hadn't have left and I would have stayed one of us would be dead by now or both.

    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.
    that was going to be 'question them up-front' and see how they respond..(nm)

    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

    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

    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.
    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

    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!

    Is anyone going to respond to this Dr. Ahmed? I am kind of afraid to. Do not know who to believe.

    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.
    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

    What's up with the CMT part A and part B exams?
    I thought it was all one test.  How can a half a test last 6-1/2 hours?  If anyone knows, please share your info!  Thanks! 
    Does anyone know if you are a part time employee for 1 company and part time IC for another can you
    still claim deductions for IC on your income tax even though you are one of each.
    Depends on how part time the part time jobs are.
    You can do it. You just have to work out a schedule you can live with.
    its a waste of time yet you take the time to respond?

    Which part of OK are you?
    Hello there
    I did my little part
    Went to the Houston SPCA yesterday to bring home a "furry refugee".  They had not all been processed yet, however, and so we brought one home that had already been there, but at least it cleared the way for the other furries guys and gals.  They are in need of donations, if anyone is interested.  They have brought in approximately 460 dogs and cats from NO.
    Because they pay a part of it as well.
    MQ pays a good portion of the premium and the MT is only paying part.

    Spheris pays a higher part of the premium, or at least they have in the past. With the new plan, MQ may have adjusted their portion of the insurance premium up a little bit.

    Where did you get the idea MQ was taking away insurance?

    Preliminary, unaudited results indicate that operating income declined from approximately $61 million, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 to approximately $23 million for the comparable 2004 period. The decline in operating income includes: 1) the impact of approximately $11 million in costs incurred in 2004 related to the ongoing billing investigation and associated litigation, 2) approximately $4 million in costs associated with separation and replacement of the Company's management team, including members at the executive level and 3) approximately $3 million associated with the write-off of intangible assets associated with products no longer being offered. In addition, the base business, as described above in the Revenues section, experienced a decline in transcription service volume from existing and lost clients and a decline in transcription service rates charged to customers. The impact of the revenue decline was partially offset by several cost saving initiatives including reductions in telecommunications costs, office consolidations and associated staff reductions.

    I got a bike rack for my car (had been using SUV) to take DS to his races and training sessions. I have personally been increasing my mileage and even ride my bike to church every chance I get (20 miles one way). I do all in-town errands by either foot or on bicycle.

    When the aforementioned SUV is paid off this summer, I am going to get an even smaller car. I would love to try either a hybrid or a car that would run on biodiesel.
    I don't think there is on. How do you get the lab part?
    There are programs to get BSN if already an RN that can be done on-line.
