In Reply to: Yep, I agree. Frank loves us and only wants the very best for our lips. - MQNE

any manager's a$$.  If we lose our homes while Frank decides whether we get raises during the winter the chapstick will come in handy and we can keep the house keys as a momento of what it was like when we had a home before Frank and Greg and the other MQ crooks came on the scene and decided they were going to rob clients and MTs so they could get bigger bonuses. 


To all MQMTs


  


Love Frank

    I wouldn't use lower case. I'd use upper case. Don't worry about it. nm

    While you all are getting bent out of shape about sm
    what was stated about cherry picking. It is not going to end. Vent all you like.
    Is anybody able to stay in shape
    while doing MT because it is such a sedentary job.  I currently work 1 FT and PT job, both doing MT, and find I am having trouble not putting on weight.  Is it possible to work as an MT and not get fat (or fatter)?  Any tips or suggestions for a fiftyish grandmother would be appreciated.
    CNA is not a nurse and should in no shape or

    form be performing anything other than assisting patient with ADLS, doing vitals, etc.   I can't believe a reputable medical facility would allow her to perform such duties without proper education/certification and this needs to be brought to the attention of management.   If indeed this is true she is a major liability.  If the facility accepts Medicaid/Medicare they would lose their license, not to mention possible lawsuits. 


     


    This is why MT profession is in bad shape

    For some reason, some MTs think since they work from home they can do the job "their way."  This in turn, has caused the MTSO to impose such strict requirements regarding TAT, daily line counts, etc.  Remember - they DO have to meet the obligations of their clients. 


    There are truly some great MTs that really require a flexible schedule, etc, but these "no-show, no-brain" MTs are ruining  a good profession for the rest of us.  I admit, it is hard to test for MT companies especially when the tests are long, but I can't blame them a bit - at least it weeds out some of the airheads. 


    I am not a MTSO and never have been.  But, because of this situation it is hard for me to find a decent job because of the need for a flexible schedule and because I am not a fast/high line producer. 


     


     


    We all need to JUST SAY NO to VR in any way, shape, or form
    Having to edit some of this garbage is more time consuming than typing the whole report not to mention the looking stuff up and verification of names, etc.  It's all a big RIP-OFF.

    and if you think about KISS Gene Simmons..SM

    Kiss' lead singer Gene Simmons is about 67-68 and with that gross tongue......(have you seen him extend this tongue on any talk shows?)...and the fact they have to paint themselves in black and white and look utterly frightening........because they are virtually a no-talent hard-metal band and have to dress this way to sell any tickets so the public never *sees* just how old these dudes look!


    GO MICK, forever young.....I thought he had the body (neck down) of a 30-year-old man last night.  Obviously, some don't REALLY check out BODY and BODY LANGUAGE.  And most people are not in as great a shape as MICK even 20+ years younger and then some.....or at his age of 62.


    Today's 80 is yesterday's 60, today's 60 is yesterday's 40, today's 50 is yesterday's 30, and today's 40 is yesterday's 20+.....thank goodness I'm right in one of those categories and moving along with those new age values that have been online for over 10 years that I know of, with no plastic surgery because, you see, it's only and always been about attitude in this life.  Age is merely another number. 


    Well, they can wipe it and kiss my foot! sm
    I had PC Shorthand, for which I paid myself, and good money too, and before that, Productivity Plus (wasn't that the first one?), for which the company paid. Then the platform changed to software that was not compatible with P-Plus (or with transcriptionists, for that matter, LOL) and it was either buy your own or go without. And that was years ago.

    Now I've heard that some MTSOs are actually charging hundreds of dollars for their software so you can work for them! First, years ago now, they quit providing you with a computer or any tech support, and then have the nerve to demand that you pay to work for them. YEE-ESH! I mean, really! I'd rather scrub public restrooms as long as the employer provided the brush! Take serious. There is a word for such blatant jerks, but it's too obscene to post, so I'll just call them "anal orifices". :D :D
    Then they could wipe it and kiss my foot!
    In that case, I'd rather scrub public restrooms, as long as the employer provided the brush. What a bunch of rubbish.
    You can accept the changes or you can shape the changes. THOSE are the choices. Reactive versus Pr
    I choose to be proactive.  Apparently, the consensus here is to lie down like a dog and just let it happen.
    A big hug, a kiss, and lots of love and attention! nm

    Hubs always comes into my office to kiss me hello or g'bye if I'm working. :) nm

    I think it is decided, and you can kiss this account goodbye. I would present the sm
    finished work, along with a bill, and when you expect payment.

    Meanwhile, get real busy looking for something else to make it up.

    Yes, good parents have nannies for their little pets, kiss their brothers
    like they are boyfriends, keep vials of their ex-boyfriend's blood, bounce from relationship to relationship, and break up marriages. Not that Brad is without blame there, but married is off limits. AJ's own father has voiced concerns over her mental status.
    Upper case is lower, lower case is upper. Using InstaText. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Aargh.  It happened all day yesterday.  When I brought in text that was all caps


    IMPRESSION:


    and had lower case on keyboard (as always do), it reverses keyboard commands.  This is driving me c-r-a-z-y.


    Won't be of much help to your case..
    back in the middle 70s.. then got certification in 1987 by AAMT. Been at this for 30 years. Still going strong.. working 2 full time jobs.
    In my case, it was because...sm
    we live in such a rural area. I call it in the country. A subdivision was built nearby and I know of a couple of people on my road that were requesting DSL too. They put it in on my road shortly after the subdivision was built last year.
    Well, in my case....
    I work for a local hospital, deal with my boss and QA manager all the time, go in for meetings, and work a set full-time shift just exactly as if I were in-house.  No "maverick" status for me.  I have to play by the rules.  The  only difference is  that my butt  is in the chair at home, as opposed to the office. And I have worked inhouse numerous time, so I know how to do that and had no problem.
    what would you do in this case?
    I am a Transcriptionist with about 20 years experience who has a job which I do not like anymore, I used to liike the national that I work for but things have changed so much in the last six months that I almost cannot get up and get started and I even work second shift!  I am thinking about changing jobs but need to move the first part of December so will need time off and have a bunch of company coming at Christmas so have taken time off.  Do you guys think there are any employers out there who would hire someone to start, knowing that they are going to be needing time off in a month?   I need to find an employee position because I need health insurance.  I am a good worker and very seldom take any time off, this just happens to be a time when I need to.
    In that case,
    maybe they are afraid he will go to the EEOC - some of that stuff may be illegal age discrimination.
    well, in that case, thanks!
    Hehe. I've seen that (OP) before and never knew what it meant. But since I was the person who started this post I was too curious not to ask. Thanks for the info--learn something knew everyday! Happy memories to you!!!
    looking for a case, are ye?.......nm
    @@
    In my case...
    it was in our court decree that ex would carry me for 6 months. I then had the option to COBRA on, think maybe I had the option of converting to a private policy also, can't remember for sure, but it was too expensive, so I got my own policy.  I don't think there was any way in our case, as his company was a smaller one, that they would have carried me as a "non-family" member on the company insurance.  I know that you can work it out in the agreement that the ex pays for the COBRA as part of the settlement, which mine wasn't willing to do.  I also thinks it depends on who the insurance is through.  I had a family member who was involved in a divorce where it was a federal agency health insurance plan, and they had only 1 month to remain on insurance as per that agency's policies.  I would be checking out what the exact options are, as you don't want to be blindsided with a lapse in insurance coverage. It's tough.  I was a stay-at-home mom for 15 years and just starting out as an MT not making much so kind of scary.  Good luck to you!
    Definitely not the case...SM
    He wasn't in jail over there for anything. That was a misreport. The only previous charges he has are in the US for child porn.
    not sure what is going on in your case
    The place I used to work had this function disabled but never told me about any feature that I could go back and see jobs listed there for any given date. I was told by this company they didn't have that information. I now work for KS and work on that same platform- Extext. They do not pay for headers or footers but the session statistics is enabled and I can check them at any time. The other company I worked for I could type and type 30 or more reports and the number was always the same 500, 600, 700 lines, ridiculously low. The Ichart website where you had to check was always lagging behind so was impossible to verify how many lines I was getting credited for each report. I type half that many reports now and the number is around 700. I feel like this is more in the normal range. Not sure what the situation is where you are but if it sounds suspicious why give it any more of your time and energy trying to figure it out? There are too many companies out there looking for MTs these days. Keep looking until you are happy and feel like your line count is fair.
    So right ---- That is almost ALWAYS the case!

    In case get job somewhere else, ST is yours.

    Of course, you are right in which case IC needs
    x
    I wish that was the case for me
    This week the doctors that I work for saw 221 patients which meant 221 notes. Actually more. One doctor is notorious for waiting days before he dictates and then he dictates 20 notes or more all in one day from previous days, plus some of the ones from that specific day. Arggg. I still have a boat load and I'm off Monday-Wednesday next week.
    If that's the case, you are are NOT an IC

    As an IC, you set the work hours, not the MTSO. If they are calling you and asking you to leave dinners, conferences, etc., as an IC you say you're not available. If by doing so, they dismiss you, you are an employee and not an IC.


    An IC sets their own rate and work hours. The MTSO (or client) either accepts those or not. Period.


    I don't think you'd have a case at all.
    They'll just find someone else who will do that. They have the right to make agreements on what to pay just the same as you have the right to agree to what you will/won't be paid, too.

    Just simply state, "I'm sorry but I bill in this manner" and if it isn't suitable for them, then you need to find different clients.

    As unfair as it may seem right now, you have to be careful what you force in business. It is not the emotional energy or financial resources to force anyone to do it your way.


    In this case

    Not in my case...sm
    I had the new Office 2007 suite on my Vista laptop and hated it, so I installed my Word 2003 with no problems.  Not sure what I did right! 
    maybe that was a different case, as
    my letter states that our objections will be heard, if presented to the addresses given no later than February 12, 2009 to each of three parties. The fairness hearing will be March 26, at 3 p.m. Those that choose to attend in person may do so also.
    in that case.
    It probably depends on where you live, but here in the Midwest I was offered $55,000 for account manager. That basically was running everything but no travel. I figured I would be working 24/7 since work would be sent offshore. Didn't think it was enough money.
    Not in this case. SM
    He/she states that there are 6 MTs working for him/her that are all producing this amount, not just one MT. In checking back on this one, the MTs actually work 9-hour days, so it is more like 470 lph, but that still seems high, especially keeping that speed going for 9 hours. I can't imagine keeping that pace for that long! Someone did ask how they were counting lines, but no response yet.
    In that case...

    I think it may be possible depending on how they are paid per line and what type of accounts they are working on.  But then again, with 6 people (I think you said) all consistently doing that many lines per day, it seems unlikely... but who knows! 


    I don't think so, not in every case. sm
    Suppose a friend or co-worker who was morbidly obese came in wearing a new, tight white dress with big red polka dots and a huge bow in back, and she asked you, "Do I look good?"

    I don't know about you, but I would reply, "You bet you do! That dress is awesome!"

    Not a matter of alienation this time, but a matter of being kind instead of cruel.
    in that case..
    how about I take all the easy stuff and you take all the garbage.
    Oh, hey, just in case...
    I just re-read your post below and see you mentioned something about the zip file doesn't open? I'm not sure if you meant adding the files in the zip to Express Scribe won't open the .sri files, or if the actual zip itself doesn't open for you.

    Anyway, I did download it to check it out, like I said in the other post, and the zip I found does have 4 files in it -- 2 dll's, an ini, and a readme.txt -- so in case you just got a bad link or something, here's where I found the link for the zip.

    Good luck.

    ARUBA CASE
    The parents had to known she was going to drink in Aruba. Why would these 17 and 18 years want to go of course to drink or they could have went to Florida instead. Even though this girl made bad judgement if she drank to much and went off with these guys this did not have to happen. We need to blame who ever did this. If my 18 year old wanted to go to Aruba I would probably say yes but lecture her a head of time. I know my 18 year probably drinks in college but I told her I don't want to know this. What I do not see I don't have to worry about it. I have no control of her when she is in college but she is not allowed to drink in our house or anyone elses until she is 21. I have a feeling that her body has been thrown in the ocean. The whole situation is so so sad.
    I hope that isn't the case; however, if it is SM
    then I will move on. I know what I need and whnt.

    I'm willing to give them a good try first.

    In my case, it was TransTech. I went with them
    because they were the only company that I could not find a negative post about on this board. Live and learn.
    I rest my case.
