Hey 3rd shifters out there, how is your work load? sm - Ready4bed
Posted: Jul 22, 2010
Am I the only one who runs out of work? I find it very hard at night to keep going with the dreaded no work available. At least during the day, you can clean house, email, pick up the telephone, etc. During the night, you are limited to surfing and staring! Then I am too sleep deprived to pull extra hours to make up for missed line counts. I am doing third shift for the extra incentitive but it doesn't work in my favor if I run out of work! Any ideas? Curious how all the other third shifters out there stay busy and/or if they have plenty of work to be worth this shift.
I checked right before you posted...my account has - PunkyMT
[ In Reply To ..]My account has 560 reports on it, so my night shall be very productive :-).
I *heart* my job.
Oh my, have fun and may you be very productive! nm - Ready4bed

Most of the time I find theres more work between - - s/msg
[ In Reply To ..]about 8 or 9 PM (Pacific time) and 2 or 3 AM (Pacific time). Probably because the East Coast MTs 1st and 2nd shift MTs are still asleep.
Provided, of course, I'm not working on an account that also goes to India.
3rd shift - thinking
[ In Reply To ..]Speaking of 3rd shift - do you all have any pointers on how to "survive" it, as far as sleep, etc? I've never worked 3rd shift but considering it, just not sure how the sleep part will work...

For All You 3rd Shifters!

Are you guys sticking to your schedule on the weekends or going back to a 'normal' schedule on the weekend? I've been doing this for almost a year from 9p to 5:30a, and it's been working pretty good until the weekend. I want to spend time with my family but mostly I end up sleeping the whole weekend away because I can't adjust my schedule. Any suggestions? ...

This Is A Load Of You Know What...
Jan 29, 2013
They are just not delegating the work adequately. This is my biggest pet peeve of all time. There will be several thousand jobs in my region and my accounts run out...and then I sit...and wait...and nothing. They say change your hours, well guess what? I already work mostly 2nd shift. "Make up time on Saturday." There is no work, apparently, on Saturday anymore either! In looking at the numbers, certain hospitals seem to never run out, while others are just bone dry. Overstaffe ...

Cannot Get DocQScribe To Load
Nov 09, 2010
I tried to get DocQScribe to load from the DocQManage page for over an hour and finally had to send in a ticket. Is anyone else having this kind of trouble with the system. It showed a green light on DEP. This is getting rediculous. I could not work my scheduled shift on Sunday because there were no jobs available (but incentive stayed in place). Now I cannot work my scheduled shift because of something else. I don't know about anyone else, but with a fam ...

A Load Off Literally
Jul 17, 2013
Finally quit. Except for leaving MM I have never felt such a load taken off my shoulders. I am going to a hospital system where historically they do not treat people like robots, or slaves. I was going to try to hang on here, by hermiting (do my job and not look at e mails, etc) but decided to try to get out and with a lot of job hunting it worked. I still cannot believe how much pressure has lifted. Oddly I no longer feel depressed. I guess now I know what was causing my sadness... I am not say ...

Always the same old song and dance. The subject of MTs needing more pay per line comes up, and what does the speaker do? Redirect the focus on all the added "upgrades" to their software they plan to buy (probably for hundreds of thousands of dollars) to "help us be more productive". Got news for them. You can only go SO fast. There IS a limit. And after all the emphasis on accountability and accuracy, do they not see that speed just increases errors ...

Express Scribe Could Not Load Any Wav Files On The Laptop

I just got a new laptop and I installed express scribe, which I use on my desktop, and could not load any wav files on the laptop. I did windows updates and that seemed to fix the problem, the files that day I was able to play. A file that came in today I am unable to play though, but still can play the other files from Friday. They are all wav files and on my desktop I can play them all, just not my laptop. Does anybody know what could possibly be going on here? Thanks for all the hel ...
