Why is there never any work on Friday mornings?

I have had so much work this week I felt like my head was spinning from one account to the next, to the next platform and back, and then to the next platform and next acount, and all over again. I've been working on a couple new ESL's and I literally wanted to put my head down at some points and just cry. Listening to their rolling tongue and 100-mile-per-hour speech over and over again trying to understand what they were saying. It was making me nuts!! I'm ...

Best early Christmas present I could have ever given myself! Now I can't say for sure that the new company I signed on with as an IC is going to be any better, but a girl can dream, can't she? At any rate, it will be different and will hopefully give me a more flexible schedule so that I can work on that totally new career of upscale cat furniture. I have not finished my prototype yet as hubby may be getting a new job too and we might be moving for this new job. ...

Has anyone elsed noticed that ASR sometimes "takes a break" on Fridays??? I was doing pretty good with my line count for the week, hoping to make a decent bonus tier for this last week before the new pay plan rolls out. Then, BOOM... nearly all reports are straight transcription this morning. Long op notes that I usually edit this time each day (and can get a very good LPH) I now have to type out. Bye bye bonus. ...

On Friday, all my coworkers seem to take off early. I thought Friday was a work day. LOL. ...

Please everyone cross your fingers and toes!! I tweaked my resume and I've been getting some interest from potential employers and have an interview for this Friday for a medical records clerk for the prosecutor's office. I'm so hoping this is the one, but I won't be crushed if it's not. I've had so many disappointments in my new job search over the past year, I'm getting used to it. I'll let you all know how it goes!! ...

It used to be twice a month so I'm wondering if the every other Friday is true? TIA ...

My paycheck today was a whopping $40.00. Nja again today. ...

And it feels great! Wrote my supervisors an email that I was quitting and said all the things I have wanted to say for so long but didn't dare, then proceeded to delete all their software from my computer, including email, and will never look back. Cashing in a pension plan from a previous job that will carry me through until June when I am 62 and can retire. Done with this thankless job!!! ...

Did any one get an email on Friday that was a zip file and could not open it? I have tried on 3 different computers and could not open on any of them (different operating systems and versions). the last one said a threat was detected; however, when I check the sender it does come from Nuance. Just wondering if anyone else got it and had problems or was able to open it. If you could open it, did I miss anything important or that I might need to know? Thanks!1 ...

I got up and showered just to SIT HERE. This is so infuriating. My accounts used to always have work. I felt sympathy for everyone griping about NJA, but I just laid low and was thankful that I hardly ever had NJA. Now it is almost every day. Where did all that work go? ...

While that stupid background virus scan is working on all workstations!!! Can the management people who work behind the scene not get it through their heads that this interrupts everything?? Geeze. My computer locks up every single time this thing runs and it always runs every Friday night. They must be using some updated Java thing with the program because that is what locks me up. My computer has an older Java version that they are using and right in the middle of running their scan, Java mess ...

Was fine over the weekend, but found myself all morning typing for less familiar facilities and wading through a technical procedure from a doctor who doesn't remotely speak the English language, and once again I could hardly see to type for the tears. I just don't think a job should make you suicidal every work day. ...

Well here we go again with NJA to me in the North Region. Looks like another long and soggy weekend, again. Tell me again what I should change my hours to . . . do the "others" ever sleep? Just wondering . . . . ...

First I find out I am not getting paid for certain lines (which I was NOT told upon my hire), then I find out I am let go with no word as to why. Hmm, I am most definitely going to be warning people about this place!!! ...

Have you noticed the VR is even worse than usual since the outage on Friday? I wonder if they had to restore from backup and lost some months of its so-called learning. ...

This is so ridiculous. Friday afternoon and no work. I can't keep checking back every hour and do perhaps 2 charts and run out again. Stop sending so much work to India and at least leave the US MTs something to do. ...

that's odd.. anybody else? ...

I am nervous but breathing a sigh of relief!!! After countless applications, I was offered and accepted a secretarial job in a local school. Less hours, but at least I know what I am getting paid weekly! I will have the same days off as my children. I am looking forward to this new chapter and happily spreading my wings :0) For my fellow MTs, keep trying, keep plugging away. It is possible! I will let you know what life is like on the outside in a few weeks once I ...

Has training gotten in touch with you yet? Thanks! ...

I have only been there for about 6 weeks, but the payroll lady seems to get the checks out lightning fast. However, I realize the 15th is happening in the middle of the week, so payday might not be until Monday. I was just hoping ... thinking maybe some of you "veterans" had seen it paid that quickly, before the weekend. Regardless, I love it there. :-) Thanks! ...

Maybe it's just me, maybe it's because it's Friday. However, I am lucky enough to be filling in blanks on some standard reports with just left vs right. My shortcuts are L for left and R for right. Have you ever noticed that L is on your right hand and R is on your left? For some strange reason, I'm having trouble getting that today!! Maybe some wine after my shift will help me feel better. ...

Anyone else? I know..what a stupid question. ...

With the dictator from hell, 16 PGN in a row, and everybody sitting there waiting for somebody else to do him - the catch this time is that somewhere along the line in the last 2 weeks of getting stuck with these every single night is that I learned to understand him! So, I sat there taking all those progress notes that nobody else wanted and only had to send 2 of 16 to QA for blanks this time and my percent to QA still stayed under 5.71% and I got 200 easy lines with nobody snatching ...

On a lighter note, we have two Friday the 13ths, one end of this week and another next month. I am sure Anil, Sankara, and Imedx probably created that. ...

Good thing I signed up for those Friday hours, only to get NJA. What a bunch of Butt Face Jerks. ...

Isn't the beach, a rock concert, a bar, a trail, a friend, a highway, or a bike path calling to you too loudly go ignore anymore? ...

So I got a call Friday from Superior Global Solutions. Well I just wanted to take a moment of my time and give everyone the skinny... They ask "are you comfortable with HIGH ESL" They ask "are you comfortable with a very speciality op heavy account" They ask "are you comfortable with a teaching hospital" To all of this I said "Sure, I've been doing this for a long time, including PATH and RAD, and about half my long career in QA" and then they drop the bomb "With your super ...

Why is there never any work on Friday mornings? - Tired of running out

Probably because it's the last day of the pay period - sm
