Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

My work schedule, so I changed it sm

In Reply to: What do you think is the "one" thing that is making you unhappy? - GabbyChick

I went to something odd at work and I think it will serve us both. As the new schedule starts on Monday, I will have from Saturday at 2 p.m. until Wednesday at 2 p.m. off this weekend and I NEED IT. Then I work 2 evenings, two 10-hour days, an 8-hour day and I am off from 2 p.m. Sunday to 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Now to fit the PT job in and around that and still have more time off.

My schedule and my work -
Thankfully, until the last couple of months, I have never had to wait on work. In fact, my budget is set on 2000 lines a day which was my consistent production in a 6-hour schedule. If my schedule was based on the 1000 lines or so a day the company requires, I would not be waiting on work to be there, I would still be at production.

As far as going to school, in my life right now, that is a necessity as the stress of MTing is finally getting me down after the 15+ years I have been doing it. Also, I am lucky enough that I live in a state that college is completely free to me as long as I maintain a B average. So it would be no savings to me to quit.

Also, I got the second job to cover the shortage from the first job until it picks up again after the holidays. However, I am used to making $35-40 an hour at home and the new job only pays $14 an hour, plus I have to drive 30 minutes to get there and 30 minutes to get home now.

So, as I said before, I am doing what I can do!


Do you fix a schedule and work to it at home?
Do you fix a schedule and work to it at home?
If you are working from home like me, housework always seems to interrupt work. The doorbells, the children, the cups of tea etc etc.
I have tried working to a schedule but never managed to do so.

Fibro and work schedule
Hi. I noticed several people have fibro. I constantly fight with the pain and fatigue. I work only part time. How do others of you schedule your work and deal with the pain and fatigue. I need some good suggestions. Thanks.

I work too many hours to have a TV schedule BUT
My daughter was visiting from college during winter break and downloaded The Office. I didn't watch at first, just heard it while I was doing other things... but I just was drawn to watch. So when I finished 10 hours of work, we'd watch like 5 or 6 in a row. I'm almost caught up and this show is just SO funny to me.

So that's it. My favorite show to watch is THE OFFICE. Can't believe no one said it yet.
Somewhat set schedule
I work in the a.m. and then don't work until after my chidren are in bed. One is in school all day, the other is starting two full days of preschool next week. Right nor that means working usually until 4:00 a.m. since I also have another part-time non-medical transcription job, but it works well for me. I've been doing it for years. I also use called ID and wait to do my housework until the afternoon and have my older daughter help when she gets home.
Actually I wish we had some of your schedule...sm
school starts here in early August - I'd prefer it be closer to Labor Day and get out in early June.

Schedule with kids
I was in the same position. After a lot of years I figured out what works pretty good for me, and my company allows it, so does the hospital.
I put my son to bed. I often nap then until about 1 or 2 a.m. Then, I work until 6:30 or 7 a.m. (already got 5 hours in!). I take him to school, and in the morning if I am not tired, I will run errands, work on the house, do something fun. I usually take a nap around noon and then I will work after he is done with his homework from 4:30 to 6:30 (my hubby makes dinner).. that is 7 hours plus 1 hour off for lunch. I also then work on the weekend a few hours to get 40 when I need it, but that is usually in the early morning, so I can spend some time with my husband. Plus I get to spend time with him anway, and after he falls asleep, then I work. It sounds very complicated but it really isn't. And you actually get time for yourself at least to relax for a time, instead of working 8 hours straight and then chores and kids, etc.
Good luck! Remember it is tough to be a woman who does too much :).

People who file a return after April 15 will receive their economic stimulus payment, but probably later than the schedule shows. A return must be filed by October 15 in order to receive a stimulus payment this year. See the online calculator for an estimate of the amount you will receive.

A small percentage of tax returns will require additional time to process and to compute a stimulus payment amount. For these returns, stimulus payments may not be issued in accordance with the schedule above, even if the tax return was processed by April 15.

Have a set schedule, no kids, use caller ID...
I'm off by 2 every day, hubby not home until 7, so lots of time to do house stuff or go to appointments. I admire those of you who work at home, tend to kids, housework, etc.
Wow Medtype10--that is a crazy schedule!
How in the heck are you doing THAT?!  You are incredibly amazing for doing that to help out DIL out like that.  Can you say "angel award?!"  Just incredible!
Poor sleep schedule.
I haven't really had a good night of sleep since I had kids 11 years ago, but man am I tired!  I can't decide whether to just give up and work all night and try and sleep while the kids are at school during the day or maybe start a sleeping pill, and I'm not a big medicine person.  Right now I sleep from about 2-3 a.m to 6:30-7:30 a.m.   I do go to the kids school every so often during the day so I'd hate to be all tired for that but I'm so tired I'm starting to get that drunk feeling.  Anyone with kids work nights and sleep during the day?  Can you wake up enough to participate in school activites? 
As an IC, I don't think they are allowed to have you on a set schedule. Other companies have
gotten in legal trouble because they were treating ICs as employees. With my IC job, I let them know when I can work and, if they need extra help, they will call and ask if I can do more, but they do not TELL me when to work.
checked the schedule, even filled out the
other info from my tax return.
When my daughter was in plays, there was always a rehearsal schedule announced.

Update: I am waiting for doc to schedule an abdominal CT for me - sent my husband a message saying
that they will be scheduling me for a CT today or tomorrow. His answer: 10-4, I hope you get your health in order. Exercise please.

I am having abdominal pain, back pain, bleeding, etc. but I guess if I exercise it will fix all that.


Basically stick to a schedule. Laundry is only "housework" while I"m working. Keep calls sh

you can still develop an allergy. I was told years ago that your body chemistry changes every 7 years or so; don't know if it is true, but it seems that way in my experience. I have developed shampoo allergies in the past totally out of the blue, as well as skin sensitivity. Do patch testing on her arm, place a dab of everything she uses on her inner arm, leave on for 24-48 hours (no showers) covering with a band-aid and then check to see if there is a reaction. That is how I found out it was the shampoo I had been using for years; stopped using the shampoo and my rash went away instantly. But regardless call the dermatologist, make an appointment, I cannot believe you have not called them because you think it will take too long to explain to them the problem; tell them skin rash, period. It may just be a reaction to the drug she is on as well, so once she is off it still may take weeks to clear up and she may need somethings to counteract the reaction. My daughter a few years ago had a reaction to Omnicef, they had to put her on 2 other drugs to get the rash to go away, then taper her off them once the rash disappearred, took about 2-3 weeks for the whole process. Call doctor today, get her in ASAP!

I can't get into it anymore...has it changed?..
I just get "picture of the day" and not the live cam I used to see.  ???
This was some years ago and probably has changed
but I was the custodial parent. My ex-husband stayed behind in child support, never caught up and owed me over 3 thousand when my child reached 18. He wanted me to "drop" off my child at another place, did not want to perhaps run into a new guy at my home and the judge said my child not a puppy dog, if he wanted to see he would have to pick her up there. Whatever the courts say, not what you or the next one says, is what goes. Getting the police involved is fruitless- they will tell you need an attorney, go thru the courts, etc. Calling them is taking up their valuable time and they are not at liberty to state who a child should go with. What kind of court order is there and if not, there certainly should be something before you start playing these games. I do not think nonpayment of child support now days plays any part in whether a child is allowed to visit with noncustodial parent. Basically when a court says so, you have to abide by their orders.
Things may have changed
when he was like 2.  I will never do that again.  They put a bunch of needles filled with different types of serum up both of his arms and all over his back.  Then they had to be watched to see which one he reacted to the most.  The allergist claimed he was allergic to every food out there and every tree and mold.  So, I just laid off the milk and kept him inside on high pollen days.  He would have been bubble boy.  Thankfully, he's fine now other than an occasional sinus drainage problem, which I think the pollen or something or other must be high right now. 
Yes, a friend of my DIL had this and changed
for the worst. She lost weight in her body but her extremities did not and she did not look that good. She changed completely in personality, went from mother and part-time teacher to thinking sex goddess, running around with lots of guys, stealing- things she never did before the bypass. I also saw a television show on bypass surgeries and the stories were similar to this, lots have experienced complete character changes.
In many ways she has changed
Far from perfect but definitely better and being with Nick has definitely helped. Of course, she was just recently holding over Sharon and Brad's head their affair and could go to jail for it, so I guess that is the Phyllis you remember. I have only been watching the show for about 3 years.
times have changed
dont make a big deal about it or it will become a big deal.  so buy her the little sports bras that look like half T shirts.  this is also good in the winter as it helps keep them warmer.  no big deal.
The age for some retirement has changed
I am almost 65 (next March) and my retirement age is 67. It has gone up with people living longer and people born around my year and later will find their social security starts later than 65. I am still working and hope to continue- I have retirement money starting next April from place outsourced from (being independent contractor, that will probably pay part of my taxes for the month, ha!) I guess I should go ahead and contact SS so I can find out if and when I should sign up.
I have a friend who changed her name.
She now wants to be called Sunshine. It would be one thing if the name fit her, but she's the most negative, complaining person I've ever met. I refuse to call her Sunshine. She corrects me whenever I call her by her given birth name, so I just roll my eyes and call her, "Hey!" I think it dishonors your parents to change your name. I've known her by her given name for over 20 years. I'm not changing just because she decided she doesn't like it any more.
A lot has changed in 5 years --

I don't have any personal experience with bankruptcy, but I have a few friends who do.  One of them filed several years ago and I think a lot has changed since then.  I don't think it's as easy to do anymore and I think you still have to pay some of it back.  It's also harder if you have assets to file bankruptcy, so you might want to look into it a little better.


On an another note, it's rather upsetting that so many people think (and not just you) that it's okay to just throw your debt over your shoulder and walk away.  I'm sure everyone has their reasons for racking up the debt, but in the end, it's a decision you made.  I think people should be more responsible for their actions.  Too many people live for the moment and let the rest of us pay for it.


I would have changed seats anyway sm
Less inconvenient than being sick! If I see someone coughing or otherwise obviously sick, I hold my breath as I walk past them if I cannot go way out of my way to walk around them...lol. I used to be a classroom reader with the first graders at my son's school...I built up quite the immune system that year ;) Didn't volunteer this year for my daughter's third grade class...lol
remember they changed it?
It always happens before Halloween however someone in the government changed the daylight savings time weeks... my calendar on sunday says "daylight savings time ends". does that mean saturday night, i guess someone said below!
Unless things have changed
As far as I know, you have to have a converter box, if you don't have a HDTV TV. You can't use a DVD or VCR player for a converter. Maybe what they meant, is if you need a converter box, and don't have one, the only way you can watch your TV, is using a DVD or VCR player, playing the DVD discs, or VCR tapes.

I have bought 5 converter boxes, ending up taking two back. First one I got was a Magnovox, and I didnt' like it. My antennas wouldn't fit it.

I took it back and exchanged it for a RCA one. I couldn't get my money back, with the coupon, so, had to exchange it, and am stuck with the RCA one. It works OK. Not great.

Then I reviewed and found the TiVax was recommended. I got it. I liked it, till I got a DVT Pal today. It is better than any of them i have tried. I traded a Zenith for it, didnt' like the Zenith. My antennas wouldn't fit it, either. So I took the Zenith back, got the DVT Pal.

The Pal is the only one , so far, that I have gotten 4 stations. The others I have only gotten 2. With the ZEnith, I got none. I think I'll stay with the DVT Pal. I have one more coupon left.
No slump here so nothing has changed. NM

Wow, the place sure has changed!
My hubby and I went there on our honeymoon in 1985. It was very quiet, and we went all over the place on scooters, taxis, and even rented a jeep and drove up the peninsula some 100 miles or so to see the ruins at Chichen Itza. At that time, the airport looked more like a bus station!

I would have had a great time, but it was January, and I had the flu... REAL influenza; the sort of illness where you feel like you're going to die and you just don't care. I started feeling a little ill even before we left home. By our first night there, I felt horrible and was sick for the entire week. All these years later we laugh about our honeymoon and how I walked around Cancun like a zombie.
Wills cannot be CHANGED. They can be

Without their agreement nothing can be changed.
Have you changed anything in your diet?

My sister had horrible migraines about 20 years ago to the point where she thought she had a brain tumor.  She found out that she has a  lot of allergies to food, MSG being the worst one.  She has to read labels very carefully and the big thing to stay away from is turkey.  Turkey has it's own natural MSG that would put her in bed for a day with a headache if she ate it.


I hope you find a remedy that works.


Maybe the office has changed their
policy and will not just renew RXs without an exam.
Even if he truly changed, I'm just not sure if I could love him again.

I just don't know if I can ever completely trust him again and there is a panic that rises in my gut when I think about him coming back home and things going back to the way they were.


He used to steal money from me in order to buy booze because at one point I just decided I could not trust him with money, even if he had a dollar he would buy a cheap can of beer at the gas station.  He had booze hidden all over the house.  He would look me in the eye, drunk as a skunk, and say he hadn't been drinking.  When I asked if he had booze in the house, he said "no" without batting eye.


I just don't want to walk around feeling tense all of the time and worrying if he's telling me the truth or not.  Even if he does truly change, how do I get rid of my doubts?  I don't know if I can ever completely trust him again and I don't want to live like that.


Hang on, though. The rate could have changed...sm

If any payments were late (or missed), the rate could have gone up astronomically for the OP.  They may well have gone up and up.  It's probably in the fine print of the card agreement that that will happen automatically with late payments. 


And I have heard financial experts say that it's not a good idea to call and cancel a card if you still have a balance on the card, because then you have no way to negotiate with them.  Though it doesn't sound like any negotiating was able to happen in this case, you're supposed to keep asking for the person's supervisor (and their supervisor, if necessay), and be persistent, until you get to talk to someone who can help you with lowering the rate and maybe waiving some of the fees.


Then I would apply for another card with a lower rate (and make darn sure you don't make any payments late or miss any payments!) and transfer that WA MU balance over (and ask if they can wave the transfer fee when you apply for the new card).


BTW, I recently applied for a credit card with WA MU because the offer was for 0% interest for 15 months on balance transfers, and the person was definitely in India.  Every time I interruped him to ask him a question, it was like he then had to start over reading his "script" but I could understand him. 


I asked if he could wave the balance transfer fee, and he said he was unable to do that.  I didn't persist or ask to speak to his supervisor, but I should have.  According to the experts, the time to negotiate is before they have your business.  After they  have you as a customer, they aren't so interested!


 


Mine is changed every 12,000 miles but
i do not use the regular oil that other cars use
I read this was changed 10 years ago what with

20-40 young adult


40-60 adult


60-80 middle-age


80-100 old age


seems a better fit in today's world of people living significantly longer than our ancestors.........


I got a couple of years until I hit middle age according to what I read 10 years ago or longer..........

would not want scoring method changed
because if the judges had too much weight on their scores, there is never a question of who wins -- this way, a person can impress the audience with their overcoming obstacles or rate of improvement, etc, and may get to rank up there with someone who has more natural talent. This makes it more fun!
Name changed legally in the courts and
the reason for the change, he tells me, is he always since a child did not like his given name and as adult, when he could afford, changed it in the courts. He thinks the only reason they are not calling the new (like I said, old name like Lewis and new name like Lou so it is just a shortened version) is just not respecting his wishes. He has told them before, not just this time. The entire name was changed but this is the catch, when he got the thank you note for the flowers sent for the funeral, they came in his newer name!! The person who died, his aunt, always sent him notes, cards, etc. in his new name so not everyone in his family not acknowledging, only the younger siblings actually (those being in the 40s,50s group). So your answer, not just at this funeral time and did because simply hated his name for years. In talking about your friend's name change, I see you emphazied if it MEANT that much to her, pray tell, why do you think someone might do otherwise (other than being in witness protection??) Another thing, just to let you know, his mother prior to her death knew, respected and called him his newer name.
MiraLax changed my life. LOL

How your likes changed much over the years?
It depends on what age range, 15-20, 21-25, 26-30 etc... like every five years, in regards to anything.

I'm not saying things haven't changed...
But I am saying that the people I know do NOT curse like stevedores. Which is why it baffles me when I watch a movie and everyone, men and women alike, are throwing around the F word.


Well, I have not changed my spending habits.
I changed my spending habits based on my own personal situation, not the fact that my neighbor has lost his job and now can't spend like that anymore.

One of our problems is that the people with all the money do not spend in proportion to their income as us poorer folks do. They save it and save it and grow more money from it and their money is not being put back into the economy.

I for one have no problem with a millionaire spending $500 for a pair of shoes or whatever else they want to spend their money on.
