New mow floor wax?
This doesn't sound like medical words....any ideas?
Floor damage
I know a lady who sold flooring for years.  She advised me never to use rugs with rubber backing on vinyl (sp?) floors for just this reason.  We never went into how to repair the damage if it happened, though.  You might try calling someplace that sells and installs floors.
med-surg floor
Medical-Surgical floor. The hospitals I worked when I was working in a laboratory would have it as Medical-Surgical Unit/floor.
Picking my jaw up off the floor
I thought Chris would win it all! :(
ok, got it - you were on floor laughing *LOL.nm
 
Oh man! I'm rolling on the floor here! Tooooooooo

funny!!!!  Isn't that the truth though about the name spelling?  I have one that says, "Last name is Doe.  Now let me spell that for you, D-O-E," but if the last name is Tatarczuk, you should be able to figure that one out on your own.


I have one that actually takes time out once in a while to spell a medication and he screws it up every single time.  He's very condescending and his attitude is like, "Here little uneducated typist, this is how you spell doxicyclene."


I should keep a log of is misspellings just for giggles, but who has time?


Thanks everyone, now that I look more at the floor, its a vinyl I guess -sm
so linoleum was probably the wrong way to describe it. Just hoping I can clean it so in the future whenever we sell (in a few years) we won't have to put in a new floor....will use tile next time though so I don't have this same problem. Another alternative is to cover the whole floor with the rugs and make it one uniform stain (then no one would know!).
As soon as I pick my head up off the floor,
I will tell you that I agree about  momentary  help, but not lifelong help due to dumb choices.  Maybe you could sign up for a free govt anger management class.  As for the money spent in "stupid Iraq", just wait till you see what  this country is like after Islamofascists turn it into another middle eastern country, complete with daily suicide bombers and a dictator rule.  You may not live along enough to see it,  but that's their goal.  Count on it.  Being nice won't make those nuts go away.   It didn't work with Hitler and it won't work with these sickos either.
med-surg floor. It's not a proper name. NM

My cat sits on the floor right next to my chair
staring up right at my face, sometimes for hours, and if I don't realize she's there she will meow. How annoying is that! She loves to play and fetches her toy mice and brings them back like a dog. So I think maybe she wants to play but I can't get it through to her that mommy is working and I feel bad! :) Any pet psychologists out there? Help! lol!
Falling ON the floor with that one! LOLOL!!!!

Laying down on the floor with my feet on the
s
stained bathroom floor/IDEA

I had a similar situation with my "old" tile and a rug staining it.


I sprinkled Oxiclean/hot water mixture over a small part, then sprayed it again with very warm water...waited 10 minutes, went back in and the stain was very easily wiped away.  Hope it helps on yours.


I only use the good ol Oxi with 5% carpet shampoo and you've never seen carpets cleaner ..Hope this works for you.


I operate the joystick with my foot if it is on the floor...
If I am reclined, then I can still do it with my feet by placing the controller between both feet and using either to hit the joystick.  I personally do not use rewind or fast forward ( I just use the auto backspace), but you can use the other buttons on the controller as fast forward and rewind. 
thats all good in theory....calling the floor sm
getting the numbers, dialing into the system, etc. etc. In a perfect world! These docs are not going to do that.

MTSOs are hired to provide a service. They do whatever they have to do to provide that service. I have also had the experience you have had working in the hospital system where turnaround was never met by the MTSOs. MTSOs were hired because turnaround was never met by the hospital either.

Do you ever wonder that these problems with turnaround both on the hospital side and the MTSO side is one reason that outsourcing got started???? Please don't flame me for that statement but I guess if the MTSOs are not going to be able to keep up with turnaround then they have to do whatever they need to do to stay in business. I don't agree with it and I wish it were outlawed, but its just food for thought.

Calling in on the weekend and listening to a dictation may work in a smaller hospital, but I don't think its a very good solution for a huge major medical center, at least not for very long.

From what I see on this board it's ok to bash those of us who ARE flexible and make it work. But it is not "politically correct" for us to say anything about the folks who want to work for MTSOs and not facilities, but don't want to be very flexible in their working hours. Just an observation.
Someone help me, I am stuck in
a new resident hell. This is my fifth chart in a row from the same lady and not one chart has been under 35 minutes or more than 100 lines. They are ER charts. It would not be so bad if she spoke a little faster but she spells out e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g and tells me where to put every comma, period and paragraph.
Maybe not stuck

Raquel, you can borrow up to $30,000 per year as an undergraduate to get through college; I know that you could get through in 3 if you aren't working another job. If you go into an area with a real shortage of teachers (usually math, science) then you might be able to get some assistance with paying your loans back.


Just thought I'd throw that out in case you start feeling locked in.  There are actually a lot of 2-year degrees that you can get that pay more than teaching with a 4-year degree.


So who gets stuck with that $200,000
every time there is a complaint about a HIPAA violation?

Does have HIPAA have teeth or not?


How did you do it? I'm stuck..
I've tried all of the above and then some, have AVG free, and still can't get rid of this virus.  HELP PLEASE!!
A little 3in1 oil or WD40 might help, too. But protect the floor/carpet underneath until the oil has

At least we have stuck to our names
and people know who we are unlike most posters on this board who change their name on every single post! I guess they like to be easily forgotten.

Anyone else still stuck with dialup?

Hello MTs


Is anyone else out there still stuck with dialup?  I am getting so frustrated with the long loading times.  I live in a rural area, and I cannot get DSL or cable.  Anyone have any other alternatives to slow internet?


Thanks.


Lynn


I usually get stuck on the easy ones....lol
For some reason, I get stuck on random words that I type over and over on a daily basis. I'll type the word, and even though it may be correct, for some reason it doesn't look right to me. I'll have to stop and study it for a minute before going on. LOL It's then that I know I need to take a break!
Stuck at 600-800 lines a day.

I am not a fast typer.  I usually get 600 to 800 lines a day, but I need to double that to pay the bills.  Not sure what my problem is.  I have Expanders and add to them everyday.  I do not have the same doctors all day so maybe that is the problem.  Any thoughts or tips would be very appreciated.  Thanks


 


and most of them have cellphones stuck in their ears. nm

He dd NOT give them preference. THEY are stuck TOO
My cousin and 3 of her friends are stuck there. If he gave preferential treatment. THEY WOULD BE HOME instead of US worrying about them and not hearing ANYTHING from them.

By the way. They also called ahead before they left here Friday and asked their hotel if it was safe or should they cancel and rebook later. They were told to come on. They would be safe, this was nothing to worry about.

I have read that OTHER tourists were told the same thing when THEY called ahead before the hurricane to see if they should cancel and reschedule.

Get off your high horse and DONT comment on things you know NOTHING ABOUT!
I'm emotionally and financially stuck

I'm wanting to buy a house. I have 3 kids, 1, 2, and 16. I live with my Not-So-Darling-BF, 2 youngest are his. I have a purchase offer on this house and can get financing. The payment is 200 more than I wanted to spend. House is 5 years old, in town, right by my 16 y/o school. I have CC debt (about 9500), a student loan, a couple other small (less than 1000 bills).


I posted my dilemna on MSN Money message board. They all think I should rent, pay off debt, get a roommate, that I should build my emergency fund, save for the house, blah, blah.


Obviously I'm an MT, make 42k a year with 3 parttime MT jobs, one going full-time hopefully in the next year, and child support from 16 y/o which I will lose if she does not continue school after graduating.


I may have a renter, my brother, who would be good for about $350 a month, incl. heat, etc.


I feel so emotionally drained. My "BF" can be prone to violence, never hurting me or kids, but breaking the "house", he thinks he is "Mr. Wonderful" and always has that attitude...I could go on..I wanted to leave at 3 months of knowing him but got pregnant...to make a long story short...and I stayed "cause of the kids."


I'm not sure why I'm posting but I feel my next step is the psych ward. Financially I guess I can't leave and emotionally I can't stay as I'm going nuts.


I need advice or words of encouragment or something, anything....


Emotionally and financially stuck. Please sm.
No, you're not stuck. You obviously need to get away from the Not-So-Darling-BF. If he's breaking up stuff in the house, sooner or later he'll pop somebody. Okay?

You are earning money and I agree that you probably should purchase a place of your own. Right now, however, does not seem the time. Now is the time to set up a place of your own per rent and get yourself, your family, and your finances together. I know this is not what you want to hear, but it's the truth. Please do not take offense.

You need to gather yourself, so to speak, and you cannot do that with a mortgage you cannot afford alone hanging over your head. You'll just be headed for disaster, shorting yourself, your children, and your work.

Again, please don't take this the wrong way. I would simply hate like he$$ t see you make the same mistake that I've seen numerous times already.

The first step is to get out of there and set up your own place, not brother's or anyone else's, but yours. You have a family to support. If you choose to go it alone, then alone you should go. The second is to make the BF pay child support. Get that lined up and if he is dependable, you can figure it into your budget. And lastly, once you have your finances configured, you can then decide what you can afford for your family as a home. Comfortably.

No offense intended here and again, I hope you do not take any of this the wrong way. It's just the smart thing to do, especially when you have three children to think of.

Good luck. :)
Maybe you have some goo or a paperclip stuck in your keyboard.
Try pulling off your R and 4 keys and cleaning it out.  (Or maybe you suffer as I do with stubby finger syndrome!  LOL  My pinkies don't reach the top two rows.)
Told 18 and 14 y-os, $400-$500 per each one and have stuck to it. Will spend about $300 on DH. nm

Glad you stuck to your guns!

Anyone ever get a pill stuck in their throat?
I took an ibuprofen capsule on Wednesday morning (for a sore throat I'd had for a week, rapid strep neg).  The first one went down but the other one seemed to stick. It's still there and I just can't get it to go. It's not really down in the throat...it seems to be higher than that. It's making my throat hurt down to the collarbone and up to the ears. I can get it to move around some, but it just won't go down. I don't know whether I should call me regular doctor, go to urgent care, just wait for it to go down or what?
I am stuck going full time because
that's all the university offered. They said if I didn't want to go full time then get out of line because 933 other people wanted my spot. I have a small MTSO right now and so am able to just parcel out work and do a little QA each week. I already had an Associate's of Science which transferred to the U, and then I had to do pre-req of Nutrition, Developmental Psych and Organic Chem (and after I did organic chem, over the summer no less, they dropped it as a pre-req grrrrrrr). This fall is my third semester, I will finish after my fifth semester though I want to go on to get a master's as a nurse practitioner....another 2.5 years  **sigh**
Stuck adding dictionary
  I've downloaded Stedmans 6.0 to Word (program files) and am attempting to add the dictionary for spell check.  I can locate the file but when I try to add a file name, I get hung up.  I'm sure the problem lies in the file name, either the original download or my efforts to add the dic.  I would very much appreciate an assist, pulling my hair out.  TIA - I have googled extensively and followed the instructions but I am missing something here.
Why is that some are still stuck in the year 2008?? LOL

Although I'm currently stuck with my offshoring MTSO,
I'd much rather do straight typing..
Got floor model of chair that was perfect fit. Final mark down was $40. Went got home saw original

If it's Dictaphone or Philips, you're stuck
If the unit is Dictaphone or Philips and has a proprietary headset with weird prongs rather than a standard RCA plug like you can use with a Discman, then there is no adapter.  Those companies want you to have to buy your headset from them or their authorized vendors.  I've been through it with both.  It's not enough that you've paid big bucks for the unit, they want every last cent they can get, including for the headset.
Keyboard text stuck "on"
I hope someone can help me.  I was trying to print the computer screen and for some reason could not and my husband came to "help" me and somehow he got the desktop text that normally shows up under the desktop icons to be stuck in the "on" position.  Does anyone know how to turn them off?  My husband does not even know what he did to get them that way.  We never were able to print the screen.  If anyone can tell me how to turn off these desktop texts, please let me know.  Just in case this helps, I have Windows XP PRO and a Microsoft erganomic keyboard.  Thank you all in advance.
Help, I've been stuck with a gum chewer all morning!!!!! EEEWWWWW!!!

Never eat it. Hate food on my face and stuck in my teeth, esp. in public! Gross either way. nm

Put it on paper

I was drowning in debt a couple of years ago.  I finally bought a book by Dave Ramsey about getting out of debt and I must say, this man is a genius!  He also does a radio program daily where he takes calls and gives advice.  I now do a budget on paper where EVERY penny is accounted for.  It is amazing how much of a difference this has made in my life.  No, I don't reuse foil or sandwich bags ... LOL!  I have paid off my credit card debt and installment debt.  At this point, I'm working on the mortgage. I highly recommend the plan Dave Ramsey pushes for "financial peace" as he refers to it.


I have seen ads in the paper where...
Radiology MTs are paid that per hour. Maybe some of the others are too. I applied at a temp agency to work as an MT and asked for a minimum of $12/hr. I didn't get the job. I was not tested or anything, so I felt maybe they didn't want to pay me the $12/hr.

If you get on with the hospital, not sure if you will eventually be sent home or not, but most hospitals where I live send the MTs home to work. So, maybe try at a hospital near you? However, even though they pay hourly, they have a line count they want you to maintain. I think when they pay hourly, they really stick to the line count minimum to make sure they aren't paying you to do nothing. The minimum line count depends on the hospital.

good luck.
It also says on my paper...
…You may decide to continue working beyond your full retirement age without choosing to receive benefits. If so your benefits will be increased by a certain % between your full retirement age AND age 70. If I did not draw before age 70, I would have an 8% increase in the amount I would get at age 66- whatever that would be, don’t do math.
maybe you put too much paper into it, so that
the printer cannot 'grasp' it, or you put the paper too far away.
Hmm, I have a paper here that I signed that says
they will deduct FICA taxes, pay the employer part of FICA equaling 7.65%, and federal income taxes. It says I will receive a W-2, not a 1099.

FICA is the SS tax. So, if they are holding out federal taxes, FICA, employer part of FICA, then all that is left is state tax...??


Does anyone else get overwhelmed with all the paper
that's constantly thrown at them?  I just spent an hour and a half cleaning off my desk.  It was covered with mail, books, bills, school papers for all the kids, papers I have to fill out for DH and our oldest, papers to be shredded, stuff I have to do for other people, account specs.  This was all just from the past week.  I always thought I was a pretty organized person, but this place is a mess.....
What about scrapbook paper?
I know Joann has a big scrapbook paper notebook.   It would look cute with a lot of different design/similar color paper hands.  We actually did this with a turkey projected and covered the turkey with fall paper.  I don't know what your budget is but the notebook is about $10 and you'd probably have a lot left over for other stuff.
I think I missed the ad in the paper that says you must

paint your house a funky color. I'm thinking I missed a huge sale at Home Depot on paint because my neighbors are going crazy with the colors. Yes, I understand home depot and Lowe's screws up paint and you can get the mixed up colors very cheap but geez. My neighborhood is going crazy with weird paint colors on their houses. Two months ago someone painted their house bright green with bright pink trim, then came the peach house with green trim, bright yellow house followed by bright blue house with the leftover yellow trim. New house being built across the street is all burnt orange including the fence. They even painted the driveway burnt orange and not UT vols orange. Now my neighbor is painting hers bright green. It's not a bad neighborhood here in Central Florida and the houses here run from 150s to 300s but these colors are horrendous. I think if I put my house up for sale I won't get an offer because the peach house, green and pink house, and orange house are all on the dead end street I'm on.
