Same ol' same ol'. Another Thursday at TT with no work. Even more frustrating is that I can't "flex" and log back in on Thursday nights because of family comitments. If I'm lucky, I MAY get 10,000 lines for the pay period! ...
Well it must be Thursday - get 1 job, wait 10 minutes, 1 more job, wait 10 minutes, oh joy! another job! wait 10 minutes....and so the day goes on. I get so excited when I get a really long job, hoping and praying the entire time I'm working on it that another one will come through. Is this really living? I think not. One of my favorite quotes is "Never get so busy trying to make a living that you forget to make a life." Here here!! ...
Anybody else having trouble submitting the fiirst section? Hit submit button and it will not take. The other section (s) worked fine.
Very strange. ...
ASR-a is-a stupid-a. So-a I-a have-a to-a waste-a my-a time-a deleting-a every-a "a"-a because-a heaven-a forbid-a that-a MM-a make-a program-a that-a actually-a WORKS-a.
Hope you all have a better day than me! And that's just the first report-a! ...
My part time job at a local pain clinic has gone full time - just finished my first full week - I was so happy to call my TSH and leave her a voice mail that for reasons beyond my control, I was resigning effective immediately. (The reason - I've gone from $10 an hour to $17 an hour) - There is no actual dictation - all I do is cut and paste from templates. My new supervisor told me I'll be close to $20 an hour soon. There is hope... One thing for sure, I ...
Sad we have to have a board to address this! I don't think anything is going to change no matter how much we complain. Making money is every MTSOS bottom line..... Transcription services are just following everyone else to India, etc. ...
I was looking at a board last night, don't remember which one, but it was here. There was a link to another job board, not MT Jobs. I need to now what it was. If anybody knows, please let me know. Thanks. ...
Has anyone found a decent keyboard to use with the new computer. I hate this one. I cannot feel the keys, because they are as flat as a pancake (if not flatter). I want to go out and buy one, but don't know what would be compatible....another Del keyboard? Please help. ...
It is so very frustrating! I type for a wound care clinic, and, of course, a great deal of the patients there are diabetic, as am I. About a year ago I learned from my diabetic teacher that a local supermarket chain pharmacy offers all diabetic supplies and meds for free, whether you are insured or not.
At least once every couple of weeks I type a note in which the doctor says the patient hasn't been able to afford his/her diabetes medication or insulin, and they seem to ...
You see it periodically, OB, radiology, and something else but it's pretty clear the work will be OB. The test consists of 3 files (getting this from the ad) and you should finish it in less than 2 hours. 3 files? How long are the files? So, my real question is (the other two were thiinking out loud), does this ad get run periodically to clear out the backlog or is it really a legit job and why does it come up so often? It's not the exact same ad everytime ...
This particular board, the New MTs board, is devoted to assisting the newcomers to this profession. It is here as a help, an assistance, a way to advise and mentor newbies. It is NOT a place to slam, discourage, handslap or pick fights between newbies and experienced MTs.
We are not going to have an ongoing war or scuffles between the experienced MTs and the newbies or vice versa in regard to who should or should not be in this industry, who does a better job, who knows more, ...
I have been reading all of the posts especially the ones about grammar. Maybe I have not finished transcription school or even paid my dues as a seasoned "elder" (I hate that phrase--not being in my 20s myself), but I was one of the 70,000 that was laid off on black Monday back in January 2009. I was looking for a career that would (I thought) not be hurt by the economy as severely. I very much appreciate any advice my "more experienced" friends can give. Even with m ...
This is a very negative board. I see misery loves company. If you hate your life and your job, what are you doing here? Oh, maybe thats why you are here. Nothing to do but P and Moan? MTStars? Doesnt look like it. This board needs more positive people. ...
Obama announced a new tax break for every new employee hired will get a 5,000 tax break and up to 500,000 total for each company who hires new employees. My congressman is going to hear from tomrrow when I call his office.
You all know how MQ loves to hire new employees and I sure hope they do not plan on getting rid of us old ones and if they do? I see ANOTHER lawsuit coming called age discrimination. ...
This might be a crazy question, but isn't Transcend big enough/has enough traffic on the Company Board that it would rate it's own board, like Medquist? ...
No matter how carefully I type the "code" to prove I'm a real person or whatever, it just keeps asking me to type it again and again, and won't accept it. ...
And one can only hope that VR will suffer a similar fate very, very soon! And in a not so nice way. Along with the MTSOs that have tried to foist this CRAP on us.
JMHO, of course! ...
Just a suggestion but if there are so many people with complaints about companies or their MT careers, etc., instead of getting "bashed," deleted, or otherwise, why not make a forum just for complaints and opinions and leave the other boards to more respectful and intelligent conversations. Let's see if what I just posted doesn't prove my point. ...
I know payment depends on where you live and what all you are filing, but I'm curious, how much do you normally have to pay to have someone do your taxes? Last year it cost up $180. Just seems so high to me. ...
I think everyone should go to the link below from the SEC (written 8/19/2009) to read the general disagreements from a board member of MQ. This board member resigned because of quesitonable ethics, overall (mis)management and questionable financial dealings with CBay. After reading, rethink a career and future with MQ.
