Anyone else having trouble accessing FDA site. sm
I use that site often, due to the searching with 3 letters feature.
has anyone else had trouble getting on this site today?

I have been trying all morning and kept getting a message that the website no longer existed.  I was beginning to have withdrawal symptoms! Thank goodness it's still here.


Did anyone else have this problem today?


Got mine in the mail today.

Mine came in the mail today...
a $100 gift card. Very generous in my opinion, especially since I only work about 10 hours a week. My MTSO rocks! Wish I could share the name and give them some recognition, but that always seems to come back to bite people on this board.
Today's e-mail is just icing on the cake!
Okay . . . so I am just venting about my QA, but to all people doing QA I don't think everyone is like this, I just can't use names, so I am stuck somewhat generalizing. Sorry. Please don't take offense, I don't mean all QA people just a couple I have dealt with lately.

A few weeks ago, I got blamed for something QA changed on my report. They got it wrong, not me. I blanked it and QA guessed wrong. Very frustrating.

Accessing hotmail
I think it must be a server thing or the number of ppl accessing. I have a hotmail account and I could not get there today, no matter what I did. and I have IE7 also. I went through Windows Live Messenger. I even googled and tried to get in that way and all my other sneaky ways to get around problems. As you can see, I finally got through. You just have to be one step ahead of them i guess. Try some of your Windows Live programs, that is what I do and did. Good luck.
Will you be accessing the voice files via a Cphone, too?

I've had problems accessing this page
over the past 2 days. At one point, I accessed a page that said this website was totally gone. Today is the first day I've been able to pull the site back up. The same thing happened last week for a few days as well. ??
I got the enclosed by accessing Help, typing in template. There are more options--sm
other than this one--

Create a memo
Show All
Hide All
On the File menu, click New.
In the New Document task pane (task pane: A window within an Office application that provides commonly used commands. Its location and small size allow you to use these commands while still working on your files.), under Templates, click On my computer.
Click the Memos tab.
Double-click Memo Wizard.
If you do not see this wizard (wizard: A feature that asks questions and then creates an item, such as a form or Web page, according to your answers.) in the Templates dialog box, you might need to install it.

Follow the steps in the wizard.

For more templates and wizards, visit the Microsoft Office Online Web site.
You can use the Memo Wizard to create a memo for printing, e-mail distribution, or faxing.

Hope this helps.
Request that they place a stop payment on the check, reissue, and mail priority or overnight mail
If they refuse or invent unbelievable excuses, you'll know you have a problem. If MY check was a week late, there are many months I would be in deep trouble.
I realize checks occasionally do get lost in the mail. If they are 100% sure it was mailed, then they shouldn't mind issuing another.

Be firm and be persistent.

In every company I have worked for that pays via mail, they mail the checks on payday. sm
Depending on the distance you can get them anywhere from 3-8 days later. Right now one takes 3 days, the other 3-5.
Don't be afraid to do direct deposit. Your company has no way of accessing your account
I've used direct deposit from the first time it was offered with MRC over 10+ years ago. I've never had a problem.
Has anyone tried accessing your own home computer from a laptop remotely with PC Anywhere or similar

I'm wondering if this is possible instead of having to install everything on my laptop to work remotely.  It would be nice if I could hook up to my home PC with my laptop and am wondering if there is a program that would allow me to do so or do I have to re-install everything on my laptop to work remotely.


I have auto corrects, medical spell check, medical dictionary, etc., that I would need on both computers.


TIA

Block her E-mail, return mail unopened

On AOL I can determine who I want to receive mail from and block those I do not  -- and if they are blocked  they get their E-mail back as being "undeliverable".  If she sends things out -- send back --unaccepted.  But to be simple just E-mail her back or call the recuriter if you don't want to deal with her directly and state -- leave me alone.  If she is in another state you should not be scared of her but you may simply have to put it out there in no uncertain terms.


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'm getting e-mail and personal mail from MQ regarding changes
and lawsuits.   What's up with MQ?  Any speculation?  My mail is general and not specific to my office.  Think things are coming to a head with the lawsuits and MQ is trying to play nice?
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.
Does anyone have trouble with TMJ?
I have an appointment with an ortho to have it looked at.  I have the clicking, bruxism, headaches, jaw fatigue and pain, loss of hearing on one side, and now neck pain and crepitus when I turn my head.  The pain radiates all the way down my back.  I'm so scared that i'm in the last stages and can only be helped with all sorts of surgery.  Has anyone here been fitted with any sort of device that reverses this effectively?  It makes my life miserable. 
Don't want to get in trouble but want to ask a ?

about our MQ accounts.


I work out of the Amherst office and so far, I have enough work.  This weekend we are a bit out of turn-around but the ladies on this account, and I, are working quickly to change that (when I'm not poking my nose on this message board).


I am wondering though, if it's just a few isolated accounts that are running out of work from the Amherst office, and it is illegal to discuss what accounts those are?  It probably is--just think it would make a lot of us feel better (especially those of us out of Amherst that are starting to worry) if we knew that it's the same few accounts that are running out of work all the time, and not ALL of the accounts.


I don't know.  This whole situation makes me sort of sick.  I'm thankful I have work, but very sad that many of you appear not to and wonder when my account is next.



all the ones I usually have trouble with
I make expansions with my incorrect spelling to the correct one.  There is just times I feel my fingers are dyslexic!
I had no trouble doing this on my last job, but cannot seem to do it now.
Different software.  I have some of the same accounts, but none of the fast-moving accounts.  This is all clinic work, but so was the last job.  A lot of demographics to enter.  The doctors give you all of these before they tell you which format this is, i.e. letter or office note, so you have to wait until you know to even start typing.

Anyone else have trouble with

I recently started working from home as an IC.  This is my first job as an MT.  I am really enjoying it thus far, but I am having the hardest time getting to sleep at night.  For the past two nights I have been awake until 4 a.m.  Can't seem to turn off my brain.  Since it was the weekend it wasn't that big of a deal, but tomorrow is Monday, and I have to get up early to get my son to school, and get to work.  I was just curious if anyone else ever seems to have this problem, and if so, any suggestions on how to shut off my brain?  I'm exhausted and I know my work quality will suffer if I don't get some quality sleep.


 


 


I had trouble with this too.
I save as a file and then attach the file.  There is an option towards the end to "save to rtf file".   I could not get the option to e-mail directly to work.  
He is already in trouble.

He just had his sister call me which is a direct violation of his Stay Away Order.  Tee hee.  The police officer last night told me that no matter what he tells him that he WILL do at least one of the three things to violate the order.  Ta Da, he obviously hasn't improved his listening skills in 24 hours.  He will never ever change.  He doesn't hear God knocking like I did.  I pity him in his blindness, but not very much....


It was too much trouble for me to
strip out any header/footer information, dates, ages, etc. on individual files and also take out "doctorisms" that are not actually in Stedman spellcheck.  If you have ever gotten stopped by spellcheck and hit ignore, how can you be sure the information you enter into IT is right?
Anybody else having trouble using
I just cannot get the hang of this expander.  I am not meeting production as a result. I also continue to get not so great QA scores because of 'expander' entries that are not intended to be in the doc.
Trouble
AMEN!!!
My 4 yo is having trouble.
Hi, I could use some advice here.  My daughter just started preschool a few weeks ago, we just moved to a town that offers it.  The teacher has been sending notes home that she won't listen or concentrate on the work.  They are starting word recognition and writing in preschool now.  The notes express concern for her in kindergarten next year.  My daughter has never really been interested in writing or coloring.  She likes to look at books and play with dolls right now.  The teacher tells me that her hands are "weak" and that I need to work on that.  I've spent the evening crying since she brought home the latest note.  Her father and I are separated, so I'm kind of alone on this.  He thinks she has ADHD because it "runs in his family".  I'm not sure I believe in that.  Perhaps my marriage and impending divorce have really impacted her badly, but I don't think that has anything to do with writing or drawing.  Please...I could use a stiff hug right about now.  Thanks for any advice.  Lynn
Believe it or not, I had more trouble with
time off when I worked inhouse at the hospital. That manager wouldn't bend at all. You could call in dead and she would still expect you to be there. The company I work for now is much better, as long as I am able to switch my shifts, they don't care.
The trouble is...
you'll always be sliding between financially challenged and leisure fun time challenged.  There's no easy way out of it, and I've been at this for 20+ years and it has only gotten harder to make a living and also make a life.  Soon you'll be able to make more money at Wal-mart or McDonald's than in MT so I'm glad I'm really close to retirement.
so much trouble
I used to have so much trouble with my internet service through my local electric company - every time there was a storm ,etc. . my internet was out. . I switched to windstream and I have not missed any work since. . I am very pleased with them. .
I did have trouble after that sm
I visited there as well and that same day I had a terrible time, my computer shut down and stated I had no programs installed, took me all day to get going again, don't go there!!
Trouble too
I have trouble with this too. I'm guessing certain personality types will lean this way with a stay-at-home job.

I know others who don't have any problem with it and are on the go all the time when not workig.

It would probably be good to take a class or join some sort of group so that we have scheduled time away; otherwise it's too easy to stay home even though it isn't good for us.
Anyone have this trouble?

I use lots of Expanders and create more all the time.  It's great when I do the same account or two regularly, but during spells of getting more accounts (when my main ones are low) I find I waste time fumbling to see if I have an Expander for things.


I have had to deviate from a normal expansion pattern (in a variety of ways), and as long as I am typing the same several dictators, I get used to the way they speak and my expansions and all the deviations just come automatically.  However, when I get tons of other docs saying things in so many different ways, the deviations don't come to me and I fumble.  I think I could go faster with more straight type.


I know people say to have expansions for everything, but do any of you have a good way to determine when it's better to just type it out?  - I don't think anyone could use 100% expansion (or even 90%), but does anyone have any advice or general thougths on this? 


Thanks so much! 


The only one having trouble dealing with anything is you

If your life sucks it's no one's fault but your own. Successful people take accountability for their lives and move forward instead of placing blame wherever they can and being angry at the world like you obviously are.

The trouble is, everything is politicized...
For every report of something horrible, there's another one disputing it.  I didn't sayh we shouldn't be custodians of the earth, but when one single country is blamed, and by its own citizens yet (especially when THEIR man is NOT in office) without taking into account the pollution that comes from places like China and India and Brazil, or Europe for that matter which doesn't even use unleaded gas (last time I heard), then I refuse to get too worked up.  We can't even have a hurricaine without somebody bringing up global warming.  Do YOUR research and you'll see that nothing unusual is happening that hasn't happened before, long before greenhouse gases were a problem.  This earth has reinvented itself more than once, and long after we're gone, it will still be here going strong.
Trouble with docqscribe
I can't log on either and I have been on hold with 888-dictate for over 45 minutes.
I guess my doc would be in trouble.
I was recently in the hospital which happens to be the same hospital I work at and we do not outsource at all. We have our own MTs. If the doc needed to get the HP, OP note and DS done that he did on me and the report had to be done by an MT that doesn't know me then he would be in trouble because all the MT knows me. LOL. I do trust my co-workers and we are all aware of HIPPA and confidentiality. We only get reminded once a month.
