A good MQ gift to all our ILP friends out there

JUST A THOUGHT OR TWO!! I have to say that I am tired of this being a battle between the seasoned versus the newbies! I love being a MT and have been successfully doing it from home (with a 2 year old and a 2 month old nonetheless) for the past 2+ years (I do not work an 8-5, but instead work around my kids and often am typing late at night, which is fine by me...and I make a pretty decent wage as a newer MT)! But I would NOT be where I am without my great friend and "mentor" who ha ...

After 17 years, I resigned this morning. I will not be working anymore, and am very nervous at the prospect of living on my pension (from my former long-term employment) and social security, but after the MM support took remote control of my computer on Friday, could not fix the problem with DQS7, and totally messed up all the settings my new personal computer to the point I had to take it to my private IT support, for which I had to pay, I'd Almost had Enough. The icing on the cake was g ...

"Idiots!!! Take the FREE LUNCH!" "OMG! What is wrong with them?" "Who ARE these people? Are they insane? They have to be insane." "And they think coders only make that much? Hahahahaha!" "Seriously? They think a 2-year commitment is a problem? Wow. Just wow." "Sticky notes? They would pass on this because of STICKY NOTES?" "Nobody told me there were sticky notes. Are they special or something? Are we going to order some? Wi ...

I'm seeing a lot of these, “I hate my job” threads lately. To be fair, it's mostly aimed at Medquist, and other similar entities, but still. Gotta keep your chins up guys. As a student, I find these kinds of threads very disheartening. In the very near future I'll be joining the ranks, and I won't lie; I would be tickled pink to be making minimum wage, or any wage whatsoever. A hundred dollars a week would be great for me. Obviously that's not ideal, b ...

last shift. I refuse to take part in the grid that starts tomorrow under the false guise of "patient safety." Nothing about this grid encourages safety, it only shouts survival. While I do care about the patients, I also care about my family and their ability to have a roof over their head. I understand the MLS have put up with this for quite a while, but in the case of QC, 2 weeks notice that we are ripping $400 or more weekly from your pay BUT we expect the same amount of work is ludicrou ...

I am looking to purchase a second computer to use for work. Can someone please tell me if this would be a really good and FAST computer to purchase? It is a Dell. Processor: Intel Pentium D Processor Speed (per core) 3.4 GHz, Dual Core Memory (RAM): 4GB Hard Drive Capacity: 500 GB I get so confused with the processors and the hard drive capacity but I know that I definitely want the 4GB (have 2 now and it is toooooo slow). Thanks so much in advance!!!! ...

Doing a consultation in which the doctor is trying to figure out if the patient's has sleep apnea. He says a list of reasons: "...history of elevated body mass index, snoring, large Mexican friends and hypertension." I'm sure he can't actually be saying large Mexican friends, but I can't hear anything else! ...

When asking for help, please give us a "running start" and as much info about the patient and their diagnosis as possible. Thanks. ...

Their way of figuring it is so convoluted. I wonder if they keep us all low like that. ...

I received a very nice Christmas card and gift card with personal signatures in the mail today -- what a wonderful surprise. This does help encourage me that maybe things will work out in this transition to a bigger company. Much negative said here on the boards, but this is very appreciated!! ...

First, I hope those of you who need to hear this will. I am not by any means saying what I am to hurt anyones feelings, to be mean, to start a ruckus, as a means of causing some to say hateful things, or to seem "better than." This, however, is something that those of you looking for work and unable to find a position, need to hear. I recently had an opening for a transcriptionist for my very small buisness and recieved many, many resumes. Some were wonderful and I wish I coul ...

Just received my MT gift. I really think that Medquist must feel "It is the thought that counts". It probably cost them more to mail these then they are worth. Why don't they just give us an extra hour off with training pay - worth more to me than this mousepad. I need an ergonomic mouse pad anyway - did they ever think of giving their "beloved" employees one of those? Oh well. Just another day being an MT. ...

Thoughtful and practical - a welcome surprise! I presume this is implied permission to install it on the company computer? ...

If Transcend was going to send me something worth less than a dollar store item, I would have rather had the dollar. Some of you will blast me for not appreciating the gift I did receive as you didn't get anything, but sometimes it is best NOT to get something. Like when you leave a penny for your server. That is meant to be a slap in the face. If you leave nothing they just think you forgot! This little star clip thing is a slap in the face!&n ...

I started in July and was wondering if they ever give us anything at Christmas. Are you all laughing now? ...

I want to say thank you very much to the company I work at for sending me the gift of candy. It was an extremely pleasant surprise in my mailbox today. You are the best for sure! LSemployee ...

Do any of you fellow MT's remember the Christmas gifts we used to get here at MQ? Who can forget the lovely mouse pad, worth probably 5 cents. Oh, but wait . . . don't forget the chapstick . . . what was it, on a chain, I believe? How would they EVER be able to top THAT? Guess that's why we won't be getting anything this year. Too hard to come up with something bigger and better than THAT! LOL How I miss the days when this was&nb ...

Yes, its true, my skills are awesome enough to warrant a $13 gift card. Bow before me peons! To all those who will take this personally, I'm teasing. Anyway, there's a catch. It turns out that this Visa card can only be used at certain places. Unfortunately, the nearest one of these places is over 50 miles from me, making it worthless as I'd have to spend more money in gas to get there. I could use it online, but shipping charges will pretty m ...

I got my MLS weak (pun intended) gift. Actually, I kind of like it. I do keep a note pad on my desk and jot things down while I work...not always work related, but hey! It seems more useful than the leather mousepad I got from Spheris years ago. I would have prefered a cash bonus or some free PTO, but they probably got a deal on the thousands of these gifts that they ordered and the actual cost to them was minimal. Weak effort to make me feel appreciated. I still feel underpaid! ...

Thank you for a truly usable gift and the thought behind it. You are a great company to work for and the thoughfulness is much appreciated!! ...

Does DTS America give an MT week gift out? If so, has anyone gotten theirs yet? Thanks in advance. ...

I just got a card in the mail from my CCM.....not to sound ungrateful, BUT THAT'S IT?????? ...

Does anyone else find it odd that there is a job posting and the email is for some gift basket designer or whatever. Just when I think things can't get any worse..... So is this a company that designs gift baskets for patients and then transcribes the reports after delivery? Times are tough, so I guess everyone needs 2 jobs. Yikes! ...

I received a beautiful Christmas card in the mail and inside was a VISA card from Transcend wishing me a Merry Christmas and the card even says "thank you" on it! I wasn't expecting that. I've only been with them a little over a month! I'm even more impressed with them now. I got a calendar last year from my previous employer. That was nice, but this is even better. Did anyone else receive one? I sure hope so! yay! ...

I would have to drive an hour and a half to find a Staples! What a sucky prize ...

I sent my resignation letter to my supervisor. I am getting out before they completely destroy my self-esteem and physical health. I've had enough. ...

Tried registering it yet? Have fun. Couldn't get it to register online. Calling the phone number did no good, either. Apparently, my brain can't deal with technology anymore. Couldn't figure out what my employee number was (wasn't any number I could find), and there was no activation code where the computer voice said it should be. ...

My $13 prepaid Discover card came in the mail as thanks for not slitting my wrists while training on a new platform. It came with a whole sheet of paper listing the dozens of different places I can spend it at. There isn't a single store on the list I use LOL. That seems mathematically improbable. 90% of them don't even exist within a few hundred to thousand miles. The ones I do have don't apply to me. For the second time, the Cracker Barrel is one ...

I tried to use my giftcard today and it was refused. It was give by transcend, a visa giftcard, and it was refused when i tried to use it. I didn't see anything that came with it saying it had to be authorized or anything. Has anyone else had this problem? Do you have an authorization number i can call to authorize my card? Suggestions? Thanks ...
