SORE BOTTOM - CEOKP

I was the one who posted about using a memory foam pillow, but after the next poster mentioned the Herman Miller Mirra chair, I decided to do some research. I ended up going to a used office supply store and purchasing a Steelcase Leap. Great chair, but the lumbar support didn't go low enough for my small frame. So after a week of lower back pain, I went back to the store and exchanged it for the Herman Miller. I just started using it today and already I'm thrilled. ...

Doctor dictates: "I do not believe the patient will benefit from explorative (s/l sore-ee) psychotherapy." I've looked everywhere and can find no type of psychotherapy that sounds like "sore-ree." Thank you for your help. ...

My back is aching, my spirit bummed. No matter how "hard" i work, it is never consistently fast enough to beat my old regular MT speed. Getting too old physically to work in such a stilted fashion. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Thanks for listening! ...

Any suggestions to ease the pain - like a better way to delete? This is just too ridiculous. ...

Can't find anything online or in books. ...

mush-mouthed dictators, the WORST audio, more and and more often. Okay, this does not surprise me one bit (I know what is going on....convinced MQ is trying to get US MTs to quit--I know that)....it's just.........HOW do they know in advance who the crappy dictators are/poor audio is to make sure we get? They'd have to listen to it first. I don't get it. Could it just be that they tell they Indians to kick back all the crap and we'll do it? ...

I'm surprised to see how each week seems to bring new job postings on here for lower and lower wages, even for IC's, where some have posted effective line rates (once you figure in a minimum of 15% for withholding) of 2.5 to 6 cents per line. It's like there is a game of chicken going on. Employers keep lowering the bar on pay, and MTs keep migrating to the few jobs that still pay decently. Eventually something has to give - either there will be no one left doing the ...

I worked all day today for less than what I made per day in 1985, at my second-ever transcription job. I hang by a thread to my rental home (already lost home I owned) and belongings, as do so many others...each day I force my gnarled and painful fingers to their respective limits, well beyond their limitations, eeking out just another hour...this hour for the cat's food, another hour to pay the internet bill, so I can work another hour...and so on. I remember when I was in my mid ...

the bottom line is this business is not one to get into. i produce the same lines, but earn a significantly less amount year after year. it is impossible to be 100% accurate at all times no matter how good you are. it is too easy to miss a little word, not edit correct due to eye strain, and long hours on a computer. i have been looking to get out and today was the straw that broke the camels back. if they had any brains, they would go back to critical errors are of course terrible and ...

is the people making these decisions have no idea what MT entails and do not care. They don't think that we MTs might have a problem with the Indian QC giving us our quality scores. They don't think that maybe the Indian QC may be changing a correct term to a wrong term. They don't care that we can be dinged for a demographics error, yet cannot verify that we actually DID make the error. The whole thing stinks. As I have seen in this forum over and ov ...

So many people with so many questions about working here. Trying to make this a full-time job has been extremely difficult, having to work odd hours whenever there happens to be work. If you're someone who is just looking for a little extra pocket money, maybe this company could work out for you. If you're someone who doesn't mind not having a schedule or a life outside of work, maybe this job would be okay. If either of these things are objectionable, I would suggest you lo ...

of the ladder, working all nights, weekends, and holidays again, and having to learn a new field & stress over working up speed, accuracy, constantly being audited because you're new... I think they've just burnt me out too much doing MT to even be able to consider being able to handle all that at this point! I don't know if my poor old brain could handle it anymore. ...

A post on the company board got me to think about what it is we (as MTs) need in terms of pay. Does 3 cpl provide for you and your family (if you have dependents)? Does 12 cpl provide that need? What is your daily average of income regardless of whether it is voice recognition or straight income? Do you have a bottom line that you will not cross or will find something outside of medicatl transcription? I will post separately my personal need and hope others will share theirs. ...

IMO, and again, this is only my opinion, hitting rock bottom should equate to more than just what we're earning now as individuals. In order to judge whether or not the FIELD of MT has hit rock bottom in America, we would have to look at it as we see it on the inside and think if it would be a career we would choose to support ourselves on if we were just choosing careers for the first times as single people trying to support fresh out of school or a person changing careers to a ...

Just signed into my account to get some extra in because of OOW for the past month, at least. Surprise, surprise. What I have been reading is true! The worst of the worst dictators are on and only them. Gosh, it seems like there is some cherry picking going on, perhaps from overseas? Unbelievable. Hardly worth the frustration. Not one good one out of the bunch. Boy, don't we work for some POS people? ...

Any suggestions? It's really annoying makes typing difficult and I definitely cannot type with a band-aid on my finger. I'm one of those finicky MTs who takes forever to find a comfortable height of my chair, distance from the keyboard, height of my monitor, etc. And absolutely nothing on my wrists and hands! No rings, watches, bracelets, band-aids! I was considering putting super glue in the split, but then chickened out. ...

By Sarah Halzack, Updated: Monday, June 24, 9:15 AM If employees don’t like their boss or aren’t stimulated by their work, can that lack of enthusiasm weigh on a company’s bottom line? That was the question that Gallup set out to answer in a new study that compared workers by categorizing them in to three groups: “engaged” workers, those who are passionate about and committed to their work; “not engaged,” those who are coasting; and &ld ...

My HDSM for months now in her emails that are getting fewer and fewer always says she is "still making calls" to us and if we need anything to contact her and she will get back to us right away. Well, 2 weeks ago I needed to talk to her about something so I sent her an email. The silence has been deafening ever since. I imagine she's putting up her Christmas tree, wrapping gifts for her kids, and making fruitcake for her neighbors. I've been patient. ...

I have a question about Smartype and I will try to make it so it is understandable:) I bought Instant Text because I had to have some way of moving my Smartype over into Word 2007 (I had Word 2002). I have Instant Text turned off until I learn the new platform on the new company I am with. My problem is this, the Smartype line will not move with the page so when I get to the bottom of the page it covers up everything at the bottom and I can only manually move Smartype by scrolling back up ...

I don't remember that yet when I post lately it goes all the way to the bottom rather than immediately after the original post. Perhaps I just never noticed it before. Oh well... ...
