D: the chin itself will very likely not be dramatically affected by the face lift.

Maybe decaf coffee isn't a good idea after all. Should this be affected or effected??

affected - SM

you affect something to produce an effect, unless you're talking psych, in which case affect is a noun describing a person's demeanor. and rarely is effect used as a verb, as in "to effect a change."

Yeah, I stuck the word "changed" in the place - and decided it was affected

There is dislike troll on the boards here. She/he just goes around disliking everything, even if it's a subject like being against child abuse or something.

Kind of sad, so I just pity her/him when they "dislike" something I write.

Maybe the "dislike" - was because

she had to ask after graduating HS & working in a field where grammer/context is (or should be) a requisite.

OR...maybe if folks are disliking your messages, you should have a look at how--not what--what you're posting.

Yep, - good ol

I cannot believe this, I look on my schedule today and all the notes I put with Ticket numbers have been taken away and in their place 0 hours!!!! I was one of many who could NOT work Sunday due to DQS being down, down, down, down. Then we are told to wait until Support tells CCM when the time was. Now I am only to assume I am royally sc***wed over again. Did anyone else get the downtime we SHOULD HAVE? So upset, so upset so upset so upset. ...

I've spent most of my day reading MQ policies, etc., and finding a lot of it hard to take in. Seems like MTs are being punished. I am anticipating feeling extreme stress with every report I transcribe. I'm trying to have a positive attitude but it is hard. Anything good to hear right now would be welcoming...... This is my second round with MQ and I'm surprised just how many changes and not so sure they are good changes. Anything good to hea ...

It is a bit different than our industry, but some similarities are striking: "In some cases, the housekeepers are expected to clean roughly twice as many rooms as they were just a few years ago, often working off the clock to meet their quota and avoid being disciplined.

If you work on Veterans Administration (VA) accounts, you MUST be classified as an employee and earn the appropriate wage determination rate (in the neighborhood of $14 to $20-plus an hour depending on county). In addition, you must have a separate hourly rate of pay that is applied towards a benefits package. If you are doing this kind of work and are not properly classified or you are not being paid what you're supposed to be paid, REPORT YOUR MTSO TO THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. ...

I just got hired onto an account that is both VR and straight transcription. I've never done VR before and I'm a bit concerned about how it's going to affect my pay. Can anyone give me their experience on this? Looking at 0.04 cpl is daunting, because I type REALLY fast and I feel like I could almost straight type it for 0.08 cpl in the time it will take me to edit it. For those of you who have experience with it, how did you feel as far as the income you w ...
