Forever Comfy Is NOT!
Nov 13, 2013

The cushion on my office chair became hard & uncomfortable, so I decided to get one of those Forever Comfy cushions.  Worked great.... for about 2 months.  Now it's all flattened out and lumpy and is really uncomfortable.  I spend all day moving it, adjusting it, trying to get comfortable. I don't want to buy another office chair, but I'd like a cushion the same size as the Forever Comfy (18 x 13 1/2) that I can stick inside the cover or just replace altogether ...

Aug 19, 2010

I saw an ad for GMR transcription and applied via their website’s application form.  I was using my mac at the time.  It didn’t seem to like it, so I then tried it using my Windows computer and I was able to proceed to the next step.  I get done with the application, I checked the box that asked if I would agree to a test, I pasted my resume and sent it on its way.  Nothing.  Although I did get a confirmation email that they received my application I never he ...

I'm certainly getting discouraged by reading more and more on this board.  I used to work for MModal when it was Medquist and they seem just as bad on here.  TTS has bad reviews.  Seriously other than working at an office, which simply isn't feasible for me, are there any reputable, legit companies out there?  I went to the job seeker's board, but it seems it's all FT, or Nuance/TTS/MModal.  Glad I kept my other job, but I had wanted a little extra i ...
