I do not think I would join any organization who has so little - MLS

concern for its members that it would book a convention in Phoenix in August. Certainly there would be many better alternatives, but just shows you how smart they aren't

Phoenix in August (sm) - dln

This actually makes me a little bit mad as I live in Arizona, and there is NO WAY somebody can enjoy Phoenix in the middle of August. I like sightseeing and showing off Phoenix/surrounding areas to people, but I highly doubt there will be any sightseeing during the most horrible month of the year, hot, humid, you name it.

Maybe they are thinking nobody will want to play "hooky" while they are there. I just think it's crazy, and it's going to be miserable to anyone who dares to venture outdoors.

Maybe they can go to Sarah's new house and she can show them Mexico and Hawaii from her back ya - Oh, my

You can actually see Russia from landï»¿ here in Alaskaâ�� - Sarah Palin, exact quote

"I can see Russia from my house" -Tina Fey acting as Palin on the comedy show SNL

it's true, FROM LAND IN ALASKA,as Palin states, you can see part of Russia.

sigh.. get it right.

Get it straight - Seeing Russia from my house

I believe most folks realize by now what the quote actually was but are just having some fun. Nothing wrong with that.

I can equal that. I once belonged to an organization that scheduled a convention in Chicago in February.

Arizona in August - CMT

Convention is always in August, but I agree, why Arizona, one of the hottest states in the US. What I can't figure out is why is the hotel is $170 a night in August. That is the cheapest time to stay in Arizona for obvious reasons. If I was going to go I would book a nearby hotel for much, much cheaper. That is a ridiculous price as far as I'm concerned. We actually traveled to Tucson Arizona last August to visit a family member. It was between 100 and 110 degrees every day, and we spent most of our time in the hotel pool or walking around the air conditioned mall. Anything outdoors was out of the question. We stayed in the nicest hotel in town for less than $110 a night. In the winter, that same room would be $300 (2-bedroom suite). There's no hotel that should be $170 in August in Arizona, and they say that's a special price for the convention.

I went to the convention in Atlanta in August. sm - Hot AND Sweaty!

They always choose a big city, it's always in August, and seems to be miserable weather whatever the locale. One year it was Nashville (humidity, anyone?), another year Boston (again, humidity?) and another in Reno (almost as hot as Phoenix). And the hotels are always exorbitant. I won't attend another meeting, that's for sure.

I'm looking for a Medical Transcription Service Organization (MTSO) for my company to use in order to improve the quality of service that my medical transcription business provides to its clients and to help me comply with the HIPPA laws. I see some VERY expensive services out there; but are there any inexpensive ones that would help a small company like ours? ...

I was just recently hired in by a company who told me that I could not have any other VR software on my computer. Why not? Well suffice it to say, I quit because of other things going on,but I started thinking;what if I did have my own VR software and why not allow it while working for this company. My question is if I bought my own software for VR and train it while the dictators are dictating, can I increase my speed by just talking into my own software while the other ...

Close your eyes and imagine what would happen if all American MTs went on strike and refused to do VR anymore, and the hospitals got the reports in their unedited glory. I'd say there'd be a panic in the hospital like this country hasn't seen since the stock market crashed in 1929. ...

I am a concerned IC. I would like to keep my job(s) as an IC and actually still have MTSOs be around to provide jobs. With all of this garbage constantly going on and hurting the businesses, I think that there needs to be some recourse for the MTSOs. All of you so-called IC MTs proclaiming to do other's favors, no thanks. You are not doing any of us "professional" ICs a favor - you are hurting ALL of our businesses, driving all of our work right out of the ...

I've made a corporate decision. For myself. As of 4:00 EST, on May 17, 2012, I will never again apply, or waste 2 unpaid hours of my valuable time testing for ANY company which does not list CPL or hourly pay in their job listing. I will also be submitting my own "EMPLOYER HANDBOOK" to potential employers, addressing wage transparency, full explanation of pay rates, and precise factors by which "hourly" or "minimum" wage amounts are arrived at. I ...
