you'd be wrong, I saw ADMIN today put sm....

Just today, someone had thanked MTStars for the AMEX gift certificate and the administrator from here did have an *sm* either in subj line or name line and nothing was inside.....and SHE DEFINITELY KNOWS HOW TO RUN AND POST ON HER BOARD....don't be so quick to jump on the draw......please.


Like we said before - it's mostly a simple error....we all do the best we can.


What's wrong with the world today?
Most of 'em don't think like you anymore . . . Good job!
you are what is wrong with america today..

i love the fact that we have very nice things (all paid for), money in the bank, don't have to write checks to companies every month for the things we have, have A+ credit, go where we want when we want and can sleep at night knowing when the credit crisis hits we won't be part of it. Now that is priceless! Good luck to ya, we are the ones who will bail you out of your financial bind one day! How nice that you owe so much money! Good night and good luck!


YOU MISS THE POINT. THAT IS NOT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE MT WORLD TODAY!..

working today
Yes, us I.C.'s don't much in the way of overtime, do we? I have been working some today, but was not asked to. Actually I don't this company has ever asked me to work a holiday; i just get bored and do it!
I'm working today
With my oldest two kids in college, I have no choice! I can't believe the cost of an education these days.
working today
Happy New Year!  Is anybody other than me working today?
working today
Unfortunately I did have to work pretty much today.  I have 2 piles of work on my desk all the time.  We just came back from vacation and the work just sits there until I return.  They are 2 private accounts, very nice people to work for, but there is always a lot of work.  One of them gave me a bonus and told me, when you get back you are going to work hard, right?  I said, i have been workjing very hard the week before, but they understand and work with me,  Thank God for the work, with so many people out of work.  I thank God for all my blessings that God has given to me.
Yes, I could be working today...
if I could find a job. I don't know how many applications I've sent out in the past three months. Two companies told me I was hired and would be sending out packets or contacting me for setup. Nope, nothing. How many times do I have to follow up? How disorganized can a business owner possibly be? When you tell someone you'll call them, do it! I guess I'll go fill out my foodstamps application since WalMart isn't hiring either.
working today
Have you tried Transcend? I think they are hiring. Hard to make very much, but better than nothing. Oh yes, they do pay and on time every time for past 3 1/2 years.
Yes, I could be working today
You really should stick with 1 company right now that pays well until the economy heals. If you have good skills, it is a sure bet that you can withstand any crisis. After things get looking better, then I would think would be the time to improve on what you have but a good steady income is the bet one can hope for until this thing is fixed. I am just glad I can stay at home and still make money - that is the beauty of being an MT in my book. Being laid off just would mean taking classes and improving my skills so I will get an even better position - using the time wisely. I think you can even get government assistance to take MT courses (advanced) on line and go on and get the CMT while you have the time. It is something that is well worth the time and looks great on a resume. This beats watching Oprah and eating bons bons.
Anybody else not feel like working today?
You know how you're sleep deprived, then when you catch up on your sleep, you feel even more tired than before?  Ugh.  I slept for 10 hours last night.  I've got a killer headache.  All the work coming up on my account today is lousy.  I'd rather be doing anything else right now.  Time to set the timer and get 'er done.
so much for working anymore today....
yeowssa!
fingers not working today

I have had my days with horrible dictors, and today I have a dream dictor, could no thave been happier to get her and my fingers do not work.  I can't seem to type anything correctly. lol.  Thank goodness I proof my work before sending - thank goodness for spellcheckers and grammar checkers - cause I suck today lol


Does anybody else have that kind of day - or is it just me? Now be nice lol


Anyone with Smartmed on here working today?

I hope this is okay to post here.


I cannot send my files. I changed my sending options like I was told to a couple of days ago. Would anyone be willing to email me the sending options they have so I can see if that will work? Thanks.


Anyone doing home chores today instead of working? sm

So far we've put out 40 bags of mulch around the flower garden area as it was time to refresh it, and then I've put in a fence in the back yard for the dog (deal alert - if you have a small dog that won't jump over a fence, you can get 150 feet of kennel fencing that is 3 feet  high at Lowe's with the stakes for just under $100, and it took me less than an hour to figure out how I wanted it to look and install it... and I'm not a home improvement queen!). 


The dog feels like she's in doggie heaven running around without having to have her tie-up ropes and my neighbors  across the road should be happy that I've spruced up the flower garden area - especially since they just put their house on the market.


Now I'm ready for a nice long Calgon soak!!!


Okay - Everybody reply with NM if you are going to quit working today!
If everyone is going to stick together (happy with your job or not), then we should all notify our employer today that we refuse to work until things change for ALL american MTs.  How many of you are willing to do that right now?
Flashtype isn't working. What am I doing wrong? sm
I downloaded the demo version of flashtype, added some basics into a new dictionary, and opened my MS word 2003.  It's not working.  Is there something I'm doing wrong?  A step I missed somehow? 
excuse the typos.....been working to long today already! - nm

Anyone else working today? Am I the only lowly sole with nothing to do until dinner time?

I feel like I am the only on working today, as the Boscov's parade is on TV, my two teens are sleeping, my husband is working OT and here I am working also.  Gotta cover my account today, at least until this afternoon, when I have to cook for my little family. 


 


Just wanted to see if anyone else is out there today! 


I am working today but i don't get extra pay. just behind on clinic notes and trying to catch up
between cooking.
Doing wrong? Probably only working 80 hours a week 6 days.


wrong, wrong, wrong. work is being outsourced because of $. period. not because of unqualified MTs

HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm

my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away!  I checked and the Type It button is grayed out!  I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies.  Can anyone please help me ASAP?  I am lost without it!  TIA


Perhaps you are right. This one is dated today. The original article was on Yahoo today also with

But this article states it would only affect new customers right now.  So I am upset over nothing.  I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge.  I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me.  It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc.  It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.


I typed a report on the wrong patient as the doc keyed in the wrong info, SM
He later said the correct patient's name and I SWEAR to this day I made the changes but somehow the report when through without the correct patient and changes made. I still remember that incident.
Fantasia wrong??? Haven't seen the OP's CD, couldn't have been too wrong.

Blasted cold out today. It was 104 degrees last week, but it's 40 degrees today with rain.
However, I do like cozy days like today when I don't have to go anywhere.  I'm done working, the house is clean, there's chili on the stove for dinner already, and I'm just putzing around.  I think I'll go bake some jalapeno cheese bread to go with the chili.
It's about morality - not censorship! Right is right and wrong is wrong!

You get more working the evening or night shifts and working w/o benefits. And producing like a mad
,
Ditto....granted I am not working much these days, but am currently trying out a new way of working
when I do work which seems to be helping.  I am timing myself and keeping a log of how long it takes to to type however many minutes.  I am averaging anywhere from 13-18 minutes of dictation an hour now doing this.  Granted the time fluctuates between who I am typing, and if I have to look up names, addresses, etc., just depends on the division I am doing at the time.  But work that used to take me 3 hours to do is now taking me under 2 hours, I am also trying to put in more macros as I go along, which slows me down initially but pays off in the long run of course.  I was working "all the time" before but took forever to get done since I was not applying myself. This new "attitude" has helped me a lot.  My goal, in the Fall, is to do 90 minutes a day consistently at 6 hours, and then maybe get up to 120 minutes a day at 8 hours, still while having at least half of the day free (do 60 minutes at night, and the other 60 by Noon).  Thereby doing 1200-1400 lines a day.  I have never really buckled down and done more than 8000 lines per pay period, so it will be a nice change.  Maybe you can do something like that and have a specific knock off time as was suggested below. 
Working holidays? Out shopping in stores where someone IS working

that holiday you refuse to work?  Grocery stores, food joints & seems any store is open on holidays and you expect them to be fully staffed, so why shouldn't we?


Yes, I took off for the first time on Christmas day, in 18 years and it was great, but I worked Christmas eve and this whole past weekend.


Someone has to do it!


As far as it being wrong, well who defines right and wrong? On the
other hand, what if he were doing the same thing? How would you feel? I think that should answer your question.
You SUPPOSE it was wrong! It was way wrong.

working IN A HOSPITAL is different than working at home.
Someone can steal you identity from the internet if they want to. Why would you go to the time and trouble to jeopardize a job that requires some level of skill to steal someone's identity or medical records? You could get a job as a retail clerk and get info easier than going through the testing required to become an MT.
Somehow working at home translates into not really working
My in-laws are the worst. Whenever they plan something last minute and my husband says that I had to work, they say, "but she works at home!". When I one time mentioned I had a "schedule" and basically punch a clock and work full time, I don't think they believed me. They will sometimes call mid-day during the week if they are in the area to see if I want to go for lunch, etc! The best is, my husband doesn't make all that much money, so where is it coming from, the money fairy? I am ready to strangle someone! So I know how you feel and I'm sorry it upset you. You are not alone.
I daydream about NOT working while I'm working.

There are so many other things I need and want to get done.  I've been working way too hard lately, and summer is just slipping by again.  Well, I'm outty.


I am going to see it today!!

Usually twice a day for about 10-15 min BUT today I seem
to have been here more. I'm getting behind though and going to cut outta here until I'm done for the day! LOL

Just a lot of information to pass along to some who really seem to want to know.
WE HAD 73 TODAY!

I don't think I'd make it down south.  We had high 90s with humidity for 16 days straight and that was bad enough.  Glad it is cool again. 


 


 


Don't buy gas today

e-mail because of the high prices and this a national boycott. Wondering if anyone else received or heard this.


doing well today

Just did 1343 lines in 170 minutes but that includes printing, 24 envelopes, looking up names, getting on here three times, doing 3 E-mails to my subcontractor -- at 0.11 per gross line.  So I am happy today.


 


 


I got another job! For example today
the cherrypicker on the account is not working for some reason so I'm expected to stop working my other job to cover her butt, but that doesn't happen anymore! MDI plays a lot of games, IMO. I am only staying until I know for sure my other job doesn't turn out like them.

Being out of work on my account happens daily. It probably depends on what account you are on.

Experiences are different for everyone. Good luck.
Today, that would mean
Today and many other days. Personally, I think that this is really becoming ridiculous. I'm a car buff and I'm sure that there are many other MTs who are as well, but, I'm sure that people who don't give a darn about cars don't want to come to MTStars and have to sort through tons of posts on cars.

No difference with pets. I don't own any pets and have no desire to do so. If I want to read about pets and whose leg or thigh they are humping and why...I'd go to a pet board somewhere on the internet.

Please, give us a break.
I had this one today...

DOCTOR:  "Please send a CC to her primary care physician.  I do not know who that is, but send him or her a copy anyway."


No other reports exist for this patient.


Yes, in my spare time I'm a psychic! 


 


 


Today was my first day
and I only lost about 250 lines from norm.  Real easy to get the hang of, though.  (with my notes, anyway :)  Good luck!
Today is 6/6/6.
The devil made me do it!
