Oh I so hope and pray that it is as good as I need it to be! 

do hospitals now go by minutes instead of lines in regards to productivity?  if so, what is the usual they are asking for an 8 hour day? 

thanx!

I can only wonder why there are not more support groups for the Baby Boomer mid life females who surely are suffering with the fun of the "change."  This is very interesting to say the least! 

--------------------

I have a few questions and would like to be able to e-mail with someone who may be able to help.  I'm using EXText and Smartype.  The smartline will not allow me to see what is underneath the text, such as headings within the document.  I have to keep hitting the ESC key to turn ST off so I can see where I am at in the document to be able to type under the heading. 

Another issue I have is that my document is running off the page and not wrapping around.  In Word under VIEW, if I select Web Layout, it's a nice view and everything is on the page; however, when I do anything else, like Ctrl J to get back to the demographic screen in EXText, it jumps back and I have to start all over again.  Any help would truly be appreciated.  I hope that I have made my questions clear for someone to understand them.  Thanks for any help. 

I recently started with a new company after about 10 years with my previous company.  I was never really called much on errors with the old company and had always gotten 98% or better on my QA reviews, but the new company I'm working for is much smaller and the account I work on is closely scrutinized.  I now find myself making ridiculous errors and the more I try to proof the reports, the more errors I seem to be making and missing when I proof.  I feel completely inept and my nerves are really starting to wear.

I'm wondering now if I made a mistake leaving my old job.  I've turned in my resignation there, but I'm still working out my notice.  Do I stick with the new job and hope the new company can see its just nerves or do I bow my head and crawl back to my old job?

Would like to hear from anyone who has worked for or is still currently working for All Type, Inc. located in New Jersey.  All pros and cons of working for this company are welcomed. 

Hi all,

Stumbled on this site on Google search. Lots of useful word lists in there, including some really handy op samples. Check it out. 

I LOVE this little thingy!

For those of you that have it, any good recipes (besides the ones in the book) you can share?  Also, don't you love this thing or what?

Anybody with comments with regards to TransHealth.  Thanks in advance.

Is there anyone else, besides me, who's very hesitant on giving out your social security # to new contracts?    Am I better off trying to get a Federal Tax ID # and using that instead?   

Congradulations and Welcome Admin!

Their own business that would be willing to explain to me how to do this? I mean from getting a client to hiring MTs and payroll etc.  Equipment that should be used.  The easiest, fastest way to do this? I would greatly appreciate it. 

Does anyone know what happens if someone doesn't have health insurance and ends up with huge medical bills?  Can you just pay a little every week/month (forever) or will you lose any assets you might have?

I am upper middle-aged and might have to give up my insurance because I just can't afford it right now.  I have paid for years (and rarely used it), but I am terrified something major might happen if I give it up.

Thanks for any input you can give me.

I went to Tools, Internet Options and deleted Files and Cookies (although I don't know as though this had anything to do with it as I have done this MANY times in the past). I then experimented with my Norton Antivirus. You must do this at YOUR OWN RISK! Down in the right-hand corner of my screen, I chose "Disable Norton Internet Security" which when I reloaded the Main page here (after I had gone and done the above steps in Tools) it didn't make a difference. So, then I went back down to Norton Internet Security and chose "Disable Antivirus Auto-Protect" and reloaded the main page here and BINGO I had the links all back! I then Enabled all my NAV I had disabled, reloaded the page again and everything is still there! So, if this happens again, at least now I know how to get it back.

I thought I would share this info as I know there are others out there that has experienced this same problem and I have done everything the administration has suggested and it did not resolve the issue. So, apparently it has to do with Norton and I am not clear why Norton Antivirus (I would expect it more to be an Norton Internet Security issue) but in any event I am elated it worked! I hope it will work for someone else as well - again at your own risk. :)

I hope this might help administration/moderators to help others as well in the future. :)

This just made my day! :D

Hello out there all you knowledgable techie MTs.

My submit/save button is not working and I need any (easy) suggestions!

All suggestions appreciated as I am at a loss, having tried everything I know.

Thanks very much!

daughter a kitten.  I haven't had a cat since I was a kid.  I'm kind of a dog person.  The darn thing keeps playing with all the cords and wires under my desk and jumping on my desk and walking on my C-phone and keyboard and knocking stuff off my desk.  I'm losing my mind!  He's very playful and he is very rough.  He is always attacking my feet while I'm working and not to sound like a baby, but it really hurts!  I put him in "time-out" by putting him in a separate room and shutting the door for like 10 or 15 minutes, but he just goes right back to his bad behavior.  It's definitely not like training a dog!

Help me please!  My line count is suffering on account of his silly cat and I don't think my boss is going to buy my cat as a legitmate excuse!

If you had to pick just one cake, what would it be?  I love just about any kind of cake, but I have to say honeybun is my all-time favorite.  I think I could eat the whole thing if I tried. 

Any other absolute favorite desserts?  Oatmeal candy has been at the top of my list since childhood.  My mom always made it at Christmas and now I always like to do the same.  Yummy!

Can anyone give me instructions on how to create a period macro in word 2003.  I want to make a macro that inserts a period when I need it.  I use ASR, so I need this function to make corrections easier.

Thanks so much!!!!!

I'm trying to find the name of one of the performers on the evening of the Fourth who sang God Bless the Child (I think it was on the show where the President attended).  Does anyone know who that singer was?  I missed the first half of her song and they did not announce her name again at the end.  I thought it might have been Brandy but I haven't kept up with celebs lately. 

Thanks in advance.

Does Smartype work just like ShortHand or any of the other expanders?  Is Speedtype the same as Smartype or any of the other ones too?  I would like to try before I buy.   Thanks

All the sudden last week, when my jobs come up on my screen, the font looks like courier new.    But the font window says it is in Times New Roman (which is what it is supposed to be).  I suppose all my jobs are uploading in the right font, but it is wierd that all the sudden they look wrong on my screen.  When I change the background color, then the font looks like it is supposed to. 

Anyone else have this happen?  Is there something I should do?

Thanks!

I'm at an age where Social Security has started sending me periodic notices that show how much I've paid into the system over the years, etc.   They also tell you what your monthly pay would be if you retired at 62, or at 65, or at 67 and beyond. 

And of course, we all know that our Social Security checks aren't going to be enough to live on, right?  That's why we have (or try to, anyway), 401K's and IRA's, to pick up where Social Security leaves off. 

Well, even if I started taking Social Security payments early, at age 62, even with the penalties for doing so, and a smaller check, I would be making more money than I do now as a full-time employee of an MTSO. 

Now THAT tells you something about the shabby state of affairs in this industry.
