Not MT related, but pet dog related. See message.
I have a 5 year old Maltese dog who has always been a great sleeper at night. He has always slept on my bed next to me and never budged all night. Last week he started to wake up shivering and panting in the early morning and could not settle back down and would just jump off the bed and go off somewhere else to sleep. Now he starts this shivering and panting as soon as the light goes off in the bedroom but instead of jumping off and going off on his own, he just stays there next to me and keeps sivering and panting and is unable to fall asleep. He's perfectly normal otherwise during the day and sleeps fine during the day, behaves normally and is eating and drinking normally. I called the vet and she thought he was having nightmares. But I'm not so sure. Last night when I went to bed and the light was on for about 15 minutes he was quiet and comfortable lying next to me. As soon as the light went off he started the shivering and the panting and could not go to sleep. Anywone gone throught this before? Should I be worried about his health?

This has already been discussed.....
on various threads. Do a quick search or e-mail admin. 
this was just discussed on the
company board. Go to it and scroll down to about 6/19 with comment from Oh, yes, it a full moon for sure. I thought there was another one, too, but I did not see it. Good luck to you.
this is discussed below.

I didn't know it had been discussed either - sm
I don't visit here often.
I have two kids at home (12 and 13) and I roll in the morning and then start to slide at the half way point myself.
I start at 7:30 and take a break about 11:30 or so for lunch, then work some more.
If I am really dragging... I start day dreaming a bit. Okay, a lot. Means i have to go back and read everything more thoroughly but the typing part gets done a heckova lot faster.
Try a search as this has been discussed here before..

This has been discussed extensively. There is

if you discussed (in ANY way) business, yes.
have a receipt with date.
This is the big problem here and what we discussed
Never had famine, still don’t.I had 2 children and worked out of the home. How can you let yourself go downhill and just say I sit here trying to make it. That is why this profession has gone down because of no one wanting to leave the house to have a job, just want to sit at home because they have a child. What happens when no money at all, do you still just sit there trying to make it. I had more get up and go, I guess, than what I am reading on here now days. I always wanted to have things like a roof over my head, food for the family, nice vacations and I worked for it. No wonder the companies are offering less and less money to do this job because they have found people willing to wait on things. Before long the workers are going to have to pay the employers to have a job.
TOOOO MUCH!! Which is why it was discussed BEFORE we had kids! LOL
He is adament that the kids will have balance, structure and guides (apparnetly as long as his mother does not object)...fine by me as I was raised that way...however, trying to get a kid to face facts when they were told it was not their fault and they they should be in trouble.....well gee...that is not a recurring line I want used in the house and have yet to get him to admit he was wrong since she told him he was not! Hence, huge morality issue he needs to learn for his life. Talking to him all you get is "they say" instead of I did, I was wrong, etc....she has it in his head he is right, they are wrong!!!! Our actions are our doing whether good, bad or indifferent. 
It sounds like you and BF have discussed a split up.
At least that's what I think I read below in one of the posts.
The economy of our country is in the toilet right now. Very few things are secure. Times are tough and fixing to get tougher. If there is any way you can slow down, get your bearings, get into a halfway secure position --- your mental health will be better.
You need your mental health in order to be there for your kids.
Have you considered moving the "molehill" instead of the "mountain"?
If the BF has already been approached about the split, what is his position on HIM MOVING out and not you and the kids? That would be lots less destructive for them.
Also, I wouldn't count on any PT transcription job anywhere right now. Trust me on this. This job type is so fluid right now - it's a circus.
I wouldn't move from square one until I got the FT at the hospital. DON'T MOVE UNTIL YOU FIGURE OUT IF YOU CAN GET THAT JOB. Then get into it, see what you have to work with.
Secondly, I would not leave myself dependent on the BF for anything but money, and then the courts can get it for you if he decides he doesn't like this, gets a new honey, or gets a "wild hair" and decides to leave the country.
Don't depend on him for babysitting, don't "be nice" and try to share the babysitting. DON'T DO IT. Get yourself positioned so you are calling all your shots.
I know MT looks good on paper when they are selling you an idea of working from home and STAYING WITH YOUR KIDS, but it doesn't work. The mom ends up the zombie and life becomes like the twilight zone. I know. I tried it. You need to get at the hospital, get daycare, get your childsupport coming in, .........and then think about moving or even buying. In fact, if you wait, the housing prices are expected to fall even more. There was an article in our paper about it again yesterday. Hold off. If you rent, if the plumbing goes, if the A/C or heater goes......the landlord is responsible.
I don't know if this will give you some things to consider but I hope so. I raised my kids by myself (of course it was different times but the men were the same, ugh!) and at some times I didn't seem them for having to work so many hours. I wish now I had just gotten me a State worker job, 8-5, insurance, retirement, gotten a little house even if I had gotten on a program where it was federally assisted, and gone that route. We could have been together as a family, I wouldn't be doing this horrible life I have now with trying to still work at 60 years old with no place to live.
Think about the future - it's right around the corner. The kids will be gone and trust me, they won't look back even if they love you lots. They will be BUSY and you will be an afterthought. All things in moderation.
First thing - DON'T MOVE, let him move.
Second thing - WAIT FOR THE FT JOB.
Third thing - Be getting that child support coming in.
I wish you the best.
 p.s. Even if you decide you just have to move and rent even a 2-BEDROOM...it can certainly be done. My ggg grandparents raised 13 kids in a 2 bedroom old farm house. Kids slept all over the place!  You and the older kid could share if it's a girl/or if a boy, let him share a bedroom with one of the little ones, and you put the other little one in your room and make a game of it - they will all pitch in and later you all will have "war stories" to talk about when everbody is grown up.
Look on the company board, they are discussed
almost daily.
language was being discussed - not just plead
look down 2 lines and you will see this subject discussed. nm

Discussed this with my boss yesterday
She said she had employees who are missionaries and as long as they maintain a legal residence in the US for tax purposes, she has no problem with it.
This is also discussed on the company board
I know this has been discussed before but how long does it take to relisten to reports that you have
typed. I know some people do that and some dont. So far I have done okay on QA but if I dont I was just wondering how much extra time per day you figure you need to relisten to reports. I usually do about 30 to 35 medium length reports acute care or 1800 to 2000 lines. What errors do you find mostly when you relisten or is it not worth the extra time it takes. Just curious.
And we've discussed this before on this board. Life is not that
simple for me. If I leave the state, I leave my elderly parents that I care for and I leave my minor children because they legally cannot cross state lines without their father's permission. He's not going to OK that. Besides, I'm happy doing MT. Who ever said I was not happy doing MT? It works great with all the family I have to care for. I just wish I hadn't wasted time and money going to college, especially when the job market in my state got oversaturated with other college grads.
Unlimited long distance...I know this has been discussed before...but..sm
just received letter from AT&T informing me that I cannot use their unlimited plan for what I am using it for, and if I continue to do so, they will charge me a per minute rate and/or remove the service. I need to know where to go for an unlimited long distance package for transcription. Please post and let me know what you all use. Without unlimited, what the heck are we supposed to do? What does everyone else do? Any help and info would be appreciated. Thank you
Do a search for 'happy with your job' or something like that. This was discussed a few pages b

Think this has been discussed before, but the sound quality will probably suffer if you do it. nm

Did you search? We discussed the Saitek Eclipse a few

This is strange. I just discussed a flexible on-call person
for radiology with the owner of Keystrokes, where I have worked for 4 years. We were discussing the feasibility of having someone trained on a few accounts, ready to do "x" number of reports a day without a fixed schedule, floating on a few different accounts.
If anyone is interested, please email the office. You can do so through the ads on the job seekers board.
This also involves AHDI, so I think it should be discussed here on the Main Board, not just MQ's
xx
Not biting ... it's been discussed in heated detail on about pg 3 of this board. haha

Been discussed in the past that Word's line counter is lower than normal. Anyone else? nm

This was discussed recently. Would be chars. + spaces, but no indents, bold, italics, etc. nm
s
Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.
It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.
We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.
It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
I have noticed sometimes I will try to get into a web site and that site will freeze up and I dont
know if I have too many screens opened up and minimized or what. I tried to open a website sent by email and froze up the email screen. Not sure what I am doing.
Not MT-related (sorry).
Anyone know the official name for crime scene tape that is used by just ordinary people to rope areas off? It says something else besides crime scene. Need to buy some and trying to do a search at different stores, but you can imagine what I'm finding when I search for tape.
Thanks
Not MT related but --
What would you do? I have a home I am selling thru a realtor. This realtor listed the house and has personally shown in to no one (4+ weeks). I have had people see the house thru the MLS, but I had to be here to show them because she was always busy or could not make it. She had an open house last week, I live on a street that is about 3 blocks long, dead end at both ends, about 2 blocks off a main street - there were no signs posted at the main intersection, none at the next corner, directing them to the house - she put 1 sign up, in my front yard - needless to say no one showed up (she was also 20 minutes late for the open house). She has also forgotten to call me when she makes an appt and I was taken totally by surprise when the possible buyer showed up at my door. Maybe I am wrong but I don't think she is doing her job - any ideas or suggestions, am thinking about cancelling her contract already (will cost me $250) because I feel I am doing everything myself and also because houses in this area usually sell within 2-3 weeks of going on the market. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks.
are we related?! lol
i have a SIL exactly like that!!
non-MT related but
do cats go off to die alone? I had a cat which has disappeared. It's been about 2 weeks now since I've seen him. He did used to drink out of the toilet (gross, I know) and I'm wondering if this made him sick. Otherwise he seemed okay. Just wondering if this has happened to any of you.
Just MT-related?
My divorce is final!!!!! :)
Oh, someone benefits from AAMT - AAMT DOES!

What is up with you? Are you related to Frank?
Frank knows that. What a sourpus.
Can't be related to MQ lawsuit
My ipay statement said is was for a DEP adjustment, but the majority of the lines in question were done on the various old platforms, Medwrite, Enterprise, etc...remember it goes back to 1998.
I got the ipay notice but no check or letter yet. I have direct deposit but nothing in there either
Not MT related, but need advice.
Is it inappropriate to wear black to a wedding?
If so, what is appropriate?
Not MT-related but I must vent
When a hurricane is headed toward a given vicinity, I thought the drill was have plenty of water and food for at least 3 days for each person in the home. You'd think Floridians would know this better than anyone. I'm a Floridian myself. Fortunately my area was not affected by Wilma, but guess what? I STILL have supplies stocked. I LIVE IN FLORIDA for heaven's sake!
As soon as the wind let up, people were forming lines... and they expected water and ice to magically appear on every street corner.
Granted, the elderly and poor may not be as equipped to prepare like the able-bodied and financially secure, but these are the ones and the ONLY ones who should have been needing help at this early stage. Did you see the caliber of cars in those lines? Many were new, nice, and expensive. No excuse. I'm sorry.
It's bad enough that many are going to go without power for weeks. Wouldn't it have nice been if local, state, and federal governments had a couple days to position themselves in an organized manner? Or be able to provide for the poor and elderly in a more expidient manner rather than servicing a gaggle of people? This would have been hard even under the best conditions, but at least possible had more citizens cooperated by heeding recommendations to be prepared.
Thanks for letting me vent...
Maybe not related to homeschooling, but...
whatever happend to kids just going outside to PLAY??? I don't think these structured lessons and sports are quite the same thing. Kids are so micro managed anymore that they wouldn't know how to go outside with the kid next door and just climb a tree. If they did, they'd have to wear a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and carry a cell phone to call for help once they got up there. I guess being a kid in the 1960s was just so different. We went to school, made our friends, lost our friends, read at our grade level (and that was OKAY), and for the most part we're smart successful people. Oh well, off my soap box.
are we related RadGuy??? nm

Not housekeeping related but why would you be
engaged to someone who not only doesn't help financially but also brings their mother along for the ride?
I have a QA related question
Concerning my new job, which I started about two weeks ago: My QA, so far, has only given me feedback twice. When one of the errors was over misspelling the name of a local clinic, I asked her if she could tell me where I might find this information. I have yet to get a response from her. Another error was misspelling a clinic docs name (not from the hospital I am transcribing). I asked her again with no response. Am I asking the wrong person? Should I be asking HR instead?
Thank you!
Not mt related but need info
on drug and alcohol addiction intervention - my sister is doing one Wednesday night at church for both her husband and her 23 year old daughter and I would like to know what to expect. I think the husband is so far gone nothing will help. The daughter is into alcohol and recently got into meth, has a 2 year old and am terrified of what is going to happen to her if she does not get help, she went into rehab but they only kept her 3 days and now is going to 5, 8-hour days of therapy. Her and her mom are always at each other, do not get along (mother is also bipolar), Any ideas as to what I can expect? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
RE: totally not MT related
What a childish attitude. The woman is not seeing your husband, nor is she interested as per your post, so why would it upset you? Your best option would be to put it out of your mind and consider placing your anger at something more important.
