In Reply to: my dad retired at age 66, but I do not remember the year.--sm - anon
social security forms and the fact I just talked with them in January. I certainly asked the question, again, if money withheld when I turn full retirement next year and again told no, full benefits then. Like I told Doxie, just call social security and check with them.

Okay, I found a phone number on my statement for thier "Premier" card so I called that number. I asked where the rep was located and she tole me Buffulo, NY and her name was Vivian. I got the answer to my question and then told her I had initially called and got hold of a center in the Phillipines but I refused to talk to them. I asked how I could go about lodging a complaint about the company offshoring. She said she could forward the complaint for me but it probably wouldn't do any good. I told her it would do some good if more people did as I was doing and also lodged complaints about offshoring. I explained that in my profession offshoring a a huge problem and that it was only a matter of time before SHE lost her job to offshoring also. I told her to include in my complaint that her bosses worked for me and if I, and others like me, refused to use their services, her boss and the company's management would be looking for new jobs. Vivian told me they have call centers all over the world and I just lucked out using the :"Premier" phone number because I do not have a "Premier" card. She said in the future if I want to get a rep in the US, I will probably have to hang-up and call back, several times maybe, until I got hold of a US rep. (Yeah, right, I am calling the Premier number first thing). But, at least I know what it might take to get a US rep.
I realise even the offshore people are just looking to make a living but what about all the US citizens trying to make a living, only to see their jobs go offshore? And I agree that it is "managament" that is responsible for this, but until we stand up for ourselve, no one else will. Management works for us!! Just like the managment of the MTSOs and even the Nationals have no job without us. It it too easy to say, "Well, just this one time, I will use the foreign call center, One time won't make a difference." But it is that one time, added to your one time and added to her one time, added to my one time and on and on, that WILL make a difference. It is too easy to sit back and wait for someone else to solve the problem. That attitude will get us nowhere but out of work or working for slave wages.
Date? Isn't that where....sm
a guy asks a gal out, and they go to the movies, maybe dinner, or something fun? I haven't been on one of those in several months now.
As far as internet dating goes - have you tried it? I've met more decent guys through the internet over the past 5 years than I have at church, in the grocery store, through neighbors, etc. Of course you have to use common sense and if you smell a rat then run.... but often times you can figure out who the jerk or married person pretending to be single is through some chatting on-line before you even talk on the phone. Two guys I met on-line are still good friends and I hooked up 1 with a gal that I knew that they were much more compatible and they've been dating now for 5 months.
Just went on a date!
Anyone have any success with eharmony.com? It's not a good thing when you get to the stop light and bust up laughing over what you just went through! 
well now you date yourself and ME..LOL..sm
Well, I'm old enough to be your oldest sibling or perhaps even your parent *L*
I VOTED FOR MONDALE AND FERRARO - it was my first election that I chose to vote in and I think it was 1972. (I didn't vote when I first turned 18). GIRL POWER!!!! YEAH!!
LOL, no, I think you need a date. LOL. nm

Actually, the date is right there on the
why is it MOST important to you what I do?
word for date
I use "da" and then change it in the Autocorrect every day. This works for when you're not using today's date.
eww, why on earth would you want to date.
And chances are you will find the person boring, annoying or unappealing. I don't see why people date on those sites, its so set up. Its better to meet by chance, more natural and less pressure. I'm in my early 30s and I see my friends either divorced or miserable in their marriages, same with my family. It gets old real fast, why not have something to look forward to, and use this time to figure out who you are, your passions, and the right person will be drawn to you to complement you, rather than being forced together because you feel like you should be in a couple. At this point I have my own life and forcing a relationship into it would make me irritable and obligated...BUT if in the process of living my life I happen upon someone who fits in there without me knowing it...meaning I can stand him there...well that would be a big bonus. No need for it, or want..been there done that...i'm old enough to know I want it on certain terms. In the meantime, i'll just hug my dog and cat way too much.
Date? Isn't that where a guy takes you out
And expects to get sex afterward? If you don't cooperate, that's the last time you will ever see him. No thanks-- my furry critters are a lot more loving and faithful and are not the least bit selfish.
date rule
Thanks. My mind just blanked and I couldn't remember. It seems like it has changed so often over the years!
Date question
Hello everyone. I know this a dumb question, but I have searched and I cannot find this answer. Can you please tell me when a doctor gives a date in the body of a report do you automatically write the year as well. For instance.... He was last seen on January 19. Would you type the year too? I have always typed the year if I am 100% sure of the year the doctor is referring to. I believe I was told to add it for clarity, and I believe that is the way I was taught in school, but I cannot find it referenced, and I had someone ask me about it. 
Not since today. (what's the date where you are?)
Time traveler, are we?
:oD
LOL! We sure date ourselves when we admit we know

What is the date of this article?
I looked all over this article and could not find a date of publication. Everything vaguely says "later this year.' Which year? The only thing I could find on the entire page was 04/08/02 under the author's byline, and at the very bottom of the page, a copyright of 1995-2002. When you click on the link to discuss the article in the forums, the new page never loads. If you look up all other articles by this author, they are all dated 2000-2002.
I think you are getting upset over nothing. Call Time Warner directly and ask them what their plans are.
Up-date from CC offshore customer rep.

word shortcut for date? NM

are you not interested in keeping up to date
If not, then the Stedman's Work At Home is not for you. If on the other hand, you are interested in staying abreast of new technology and updates to words, then it is worth the money. For example, you may not be aware than LLW updated it's Stedman Spellcheck and the words in it are spelled more accurately than the words in the word books published before mid 2004. You may find errors in Stedman books that you will not find in the Work At Home package. You also get to ask about words you cannot document. I have used this feature and gotten an answer within an hour.
Very useful resource for the low price.
School Start Date
Here in NYS the kids don't go back until after Labor Day, which is usually around September 7th of so. Of course, we get out a lot later than those in the South. School doesn't let out until the end of June.
Is your antivirus program up to date
and a really good one because I'm thinking it sounds like you have a virus. I got a virus on my computer even though I had a Norton antivirus program running on it. There are so many new viruses that come out all the time it's hard for the antivirus programs to keep up with them. Maybe you should install a different antivirus programs/sypware CD than the one on your computer. Just a thought
Maybe a letter stating that on such and such date - sm
your rates will be increased to XYZ. Then maybe institute a % discount if they pay in 5-10 days if you don't already do that, kind of lessen the sting (just make sure you don't make less if they do this). If not a letter than maybe on your next invoice. Good luck.
Read the date wrong, BUT STILL
ON HERE TOO LONG.
The above is one of the most eloquent posts to date -sm
about the state of affairs in the Healthcare industry and the MT branch of it. You're right about lobbyists, and I thin we MTs need some right about now. Back in the beginning of AAMT, we all naiively bought into their organization, thinking that support, lobbying, and maybe improvement in pay & working conditions (i.e., not having to work a 12-hour day in order to make 8 hours' pay, and having benefits and health insurance like other Americans) were going to be one of the benefits. Boy, were we ever wrong. AAMT turned out to be right there in bed with all the shady CEOs of national companies, and top administrators of the hospitals, that only cared about one thing. MONEY, and lots of it. (For themselves, of course.) Other companies and industries in this country have been called out on poor treatment of workers (Wal-Mart) and customer fraud (Enron), and both of those evils exist in the MT business and even many parts of healthcare as a whole. We already know we're getting the short end of the stick wage-and-compensation-wise. And maybe now it's time for every MD & hospital in this country to get a chance to either FIND OUT (if they don't know their patient information is leaving the U.S.) or to be OUTED (if they do know it, but don't tell their patients, MDs, etc.) Above all those of us whose medical records are being written to and stored in an electronic medical record should not only have the right to KNOW if our records leave the U.S., but we should also have the right to say "NO, not MY records."
They are correct. They issue pay on that date.
If they offer direct deposit and you wish to use that, then you can receive your pay that day.
It is the same as an inhouse company having paper checks available on payday -- you will have to pick it up. If you don't work that day, don't drive into work until the next day, you won't receive your pay until the next day. However, they "paid" you on time as they had the checks ready.
I think too many people assume too much about payroll laws and absence of language regarding how they receive their pay.
Date format 01/03/2007 or 01/03/07 or
1/3/07 or 1/3/2007? If it's in the AAMT BOS, I can't find it. I looked under dates, months, years. I work on various accounts with varied preferences but curious if there is a recognized standard as to the preceding zeroes in above examples or shortening a year, e.g., /07 from /2007.
How can this be? First date supposed to be mid May, NOT July?
Found nothing on IRS.gov site for a schedule, either.
Meditech shortcut for date (sm)
Could someone who knows Meditech tell me how to use the short cuts. No one ever taught me - just basics of typing - and I know there are things that can help. thank you for your help.
Check the date of my post
How could I have been responding to you if my post was the day BEFORE your post? The software also marked it as being in response to Karen's.
Tons of up-to-date resources;) sm
Make sure you have all the resources you need that will cover a lot of specialties, especially for ops. I wouldn't worry too much. You will basically just be learning more words. Just have the resources you need for quick finds to help you pick up speed. I'm sure you'll do fine!
Can you email me the name of the company you are starting with? Even though I've been in this business for over 15 years, I don't have the "recent" acute care experience most companies are requesting. However, I do have at least 10 years in the past. Thanks!
Date with keyboard on Friday to have time for
My twin granddaughters, the dynamic duo, (17 months) who will be spending the rest of the weekend with Gram and "Aunnie" (my 11-year-old). Can't wait to play and spoil, spoil, spoil!
I probably will be in bed and sound asleep after they leave Sunday at 7:00. :)
Interesting - what is date on that? and does this newest memo from
I wonder?
Blind date 30 years ago, love at
first sight, still happy, happy, happy. Moved in together about 5 days later. Never looked back. Got married and living happily ever after.
I was a recap of the first season to bring you up to date.
Another show did that recently too. Next week starts the new season and yes, she lost the baby (ectopic if I remember correctly).
I sensed that by his posts w/o him saying so. I just want him for a friend, not a date.
He's really funny and logical. Must be old to remember Shelly Winters though.

If it's written
everyday, it's probably written by you. It's really amazing how some people on this board are so __________. I put a blank because I really don't know what to call it. Why is a reply a 'comeback'? So childish. If you want to argue with someone, get off the computer and go find your husband. I don't lead that type of lifestyle. I hope you have a good evening.
here are some I had written down
When state = Wednesday
Doctor was talking to a group in the background and said, in a thick Alabama accent, "y'all are leaning on me hard." This translated into "innominate Howard."
Able to answer simple questions = Able to staff with pulpitis instance.
Lungs clear without wheezes or rales -
Lungs clear without wheezes or Ralph. Don't know who Ralph is, but don't want him in my lungs..lol
I believe it is written 1:160, 1:80 to 1:320

OMG!! I could have written this!
I've even returned to school and am taking Psych too!
I left the MT profession awhile back and am working among people again, and I'm with you. People in general are rude, insensitive and just plain mean. If they sense that you're not the type of person to pick on people, to fight back with them when they give you a hassle just for the sake of being a jerk, or if you're just plain old not interested in the high schoolesque gossiping, backstabbing and meanness, they see you as weak and come at you even more.
I was ready to quit today and missed being at home by myself with no one to mess with me just for the sake of their own amusement.
Geez, isn't it awful? And yes, that is why I started working at home in the first place. In the early 1990's I worked in-house and had a boss who was a mean, arrogant, control freak bully whose reason for living was to make my life hell for no apparent reason.
You're a nice person, I can tell, but I have no clue why people see people like us as targets for their wrath.
Sick.
as written
You've been told 3 times to do it their way. If you cannot follow their wishes, then you do need to get out. I think you're lucky that they told you 3 times - most places would have given you the boot the one time you questioned what the doctor wanted.
why it is written this way
HIPAA is U.S. and we have no authority in other countries. I was reading about advice to docs who choose to offshore...they are told to do the business-associate agreement (between a covered and noncovered entity) expressing that financial responsibility will fall on the offshore agent(cy) for any violations, but this article also goes on to say that basically, there isn't much one can do to get the money or do anything about any of those violations. Pretty much, the way i read this is that the responsibility is going to fall to the US-based organization because that is who HIPAA and/or the JCAHO actually have authority over.
Wow, I could have written that. nm

I could have written this
My MIL is the exact way you described in your message. She finally did end up in the hospital in the spring with a pyelonephritis, played the poor-pitiful-me routine for a while...ugh! She's diabetic, but eats sweets like crazy (though tries to deny it), will NOT exercise, and smokes like a chimney. I have no sympathy for someone like that whatsoever...We have distanced ourselves from her destructive behavior. It's not worth it when we know she's not listening to us or her doctor! 
This could have been written by me...
It sounds exactly like my experiences since transcribing at home. The best spaces for me were in closets. It's perfect.
1. Eveything is easily within reach.
2. You can close it up when you are not working.
3. No distractions and I want to get in there and get it done and get out.
4. Doesn't take up a other needed space.
I could have written this! .. SM
 It sounds like my company, and I can just about guess which one you're with. My account, also, must have literally hundreds of dictators, most are great... but these last 2 days all ESL crap. The Leads (MTs who assign the work) have to get their lines in, too, and no doubt they're not keeping the ESLs for themselves. I got p - - - d off plenty, too, the same way you did... but needed to make lines before the end of the weekend, but wasn't goint to do it pulling my hair out. I did the same, typed a few, went to bed.
I just had a doc give a patient's birth date as 1961, age 24.
Now I'm excited, I never realized I was so YOUNG!!!
wish I knew where to go to meet, date and marry a man with a lot of money!!!

Can anyone suggest a good, up to date abbreviation book? Thanks nm

Open shorthand and look in Demo-2 for today's date./ SM
You can look in the help file and it will tell you how to make an entry for yesterday's date.
I work for Spheris, was docked by QA for typing 02/13/08 as a date SM
instead of 2/13/08 (dictator said "two" not " O two", and I read this garbage!!! Holy crap batman...
nevermind. I found it, I thought the date/time
button was for actual date and time, not the settings of the footpedal to rewind, play and fastforward. The achives of MTstars helped me figure that out!
