Well aren't you a pleasant one.

If you could get your head out of your backend and learn to read, Hayseed's comment had aboslutely nothing to do with Piggly Wiggly, she was quoting a line from a freaking movie. Now who's the stupid one?


 


yes, they are pleasant and polite
as long as you do whatever they ask. Once you start saying "no" they'll become your worst nightmare to work for.
making work more pleasant
I've got a small TV in my office that I keep the volume on low while I'm working. Not only do I have low noise in the background, when I feel especially isolated, I can see someone and not feel quite so bad.
Weird! I just did report about pleasant obese

Any tricks on making work more pleasant??

Hey guys:


Does anyone have any ideas or tricks to make work more pleasant??  Been doing this a long (too long) time, and the isolation is getting to me.  Any ideas?


Thanks all.


 


LOL - chill out!
Maybe it's time to check with your doctor. You're over-reacting a tad to a posting on an anonymous message board.

Thanks for the entertainment though. I needed a good chuckle today.

:)
CHILL out!!
Geez.  I agree that there are a lot of reality shows on TV the last few years which are ridiculously stupid.  But, this one is different, in my opinion.  These are people (at least the ones who make the finals) who have talent and are just out there doing their thing trying to get a recording contract.  It's called......MUSIC!
Chill out, he said he was sorry, NM

Take a chill pill
they are only testing it right now in one city in Texas...

That should give you time to check out their competition :)

Wow---chill out everyone! OP said nothing against prayer or
it was allowed in a report.

It's no different than asking if typing someone "makes her money on her back" is appropriate. It's not the subject itself---it's whether or not it should be in a medical document because it's not medical. My answer is yes...if the doc dictates it then you put it in. There have been plenty of things over the years I would've left it, but you just put it in.

There's no reason for these attacks on her though...she didn't say anything was wrong with prayer. She didn't say she didn't tolerate anything Christian.

Everyone is WAY, WAY to defensive on this. She could very well be Christian herself, but you don't know that because she didn't say one way or another and didn't say it was good or bad.
Chill. Personal attacks are not necessary. sm
I asked some thoughtful questions and you are questioning my right to be an MT. You don't know me. My work is excellent and I have many years of experience. If you don't want to answer a question, don't get personal. It isn't necessary.
A favor please? sm

You'd be doing him a favor as well.
By staying, you are an enabler. IN other words, you don't want anything to change. In past times, such as with his parents, there was not information (Oprah shows, tons of magazine articles) available to let people know that staying and bandaides do nothing but allow escalation of out-of-control anger. It's time everyone grew up in that house. Sure, it is scary making a move out of the house but if you both love each other, you'll be back together in a year or two. The problem here is three children who deserve a fresh slate so they can go on to create happy homes without being tainted by their role models. When you are quite old and need your kids to be there (and you will), that is when this sacrifice of comfort (if you want to call it that) will pay off.
Chill out, all she is doing is wearing a color she obviously likes -
and black in high school, some pretty wild clothes too. Doesn't sound like she is going goth or anything. Lots of girls wear black, nothing wrong with it. Remember pick your battles and don't blow the little things out of proportion.....as for rebelling I would not consider this anywhere close to rebelling.
Havre, Montana, right now 17 below 0, wind chill is 37 below 0.
Now that is a bit nippy.
You probably did her a favor, Tatum.
If she can't handle transcription, she should get out and seek other work. We all have to manage our own careers. Good riddance to her, and good luck to you.
Do yourself a favor & save yourself a ton
of grief. Get a reputable real estate agent and don't screw with these FSBO agents.  I promise that all they will do is take your money and won't really WORK to sell your house. That's the difference.  A REPUTABLE agent will work their butts off to sell your house.
So you are in favor of training them to take your job?

Please do this industry a favor sm
CHARGE WHAT YOU ARE WORTH AND NOT A PENNY LESS!

I mean it. The last person I talked to about this has her own company. Clinics she charges 14 to 18 cents a line, depending on the difficulty and the logistics of the office. Nope, does not include printing or tapes, they have to call in, period.

For hospitals, she charges 22 to 26 cents a line and she gets it. She usually types as many of the OP notes as she has time for and doesn't sub them out because she likes that. Any lines she does herself goes into the corporation at 100% and she pays herself a salary for all her work, not by the line for MTing she does. She has 20 yrs of experience, all of it in acute care.

She says, DO NOT sell your skills short. Don't try to undercut someone to get the job. Remind these people that they get what they pay for and deliver on every promise, but don't make promises you can't deliver on 99.5% of the time. Incorporating is good, better than not and I know all of the reasons behind that too.

I wish you every luck.
Yes--if they get things going in our favor.
Everybody complains and complains and is so reluctant to act at all.  How many have still not signed the petition or written your congressman or newspaper?  How many complain but don't try to be a part of the solution?  It's free for now so why not? 
Chill in that you're all complaining and whining here, which is getting you NO where fast! Plus i
just soooooo tiresome to hear it 24/7. Again, its been going on forever. Period. And I assume you are referring to MQ, and then go on to imply how the service who treats their MTs right will have the most MTs, or whatever. Well, MQ has about 10K at any given moment!  Unethical to route work as you see fit?  Never!  That's the ropes! Some MTs just take everything soooooo personally.  Its not good for their mental health, literally.  Hey, I get a run of 10 reports from a great dictator whom I haven't heard in, say, 6 months, I just type them and move on! Perhaps I pause a microsecond to think, Hmmmm...he hasn't been around much, but glad he's here now!  To hear these whining complaining MTs, they just sit there and start plotting how this doctor got to their pool, where he's been in the interim, and its ALWAYS Indian MTs as the scapegoat, or the cherry pickers, or the VR got all the "good stuff".  They never just accept that its just THE WAY IT IS.  The roll of the dice - the MTs on line before them or with them - why does it always have to be something other than just fate?  Its so reflective of an unhappy persona, and its so self defeating.  Type it and be happy, or get another job! 
Very nice around there. Good place to chill, hmm, mentally that
zz
In all due respect, some of you MTs need to relax and chill on these issues of "cherry pickers
VR or Indian MTs. I have been in this business for over 25 years now, and this is the very nature of this business.  Work is always pooled around according to WHO is doing the pooling.  If you're an MT who always helps out cheerfully, always willing to give help where needed, sure, you're probably gonna get rewarded by having some sweet dictators routed to your pool.  If you're the pooler and your friend is the recipient, you're probably gonna tend to give your friend some cake dictators.  If, on the other hand, you're pooling work, and there's a cranky, whining, complaining MT, you're probably gonna just happen to send her some of those wonderful marble-mouthed dictators. There is ALWAYS someone at the start of the process, doling out the work to someone -directing it where THEY want it to go for whatever reason.  Same thing in the old days of tapes - tapes were handed out according to whoever was handing them out! Then C-phones, and work would be diverted to your "line", and now the internet.  I don't know if you are all new to the field, or just forgetful, but this is the nature of the industry.  So many are so paranoid and blaming cherry pickers, Indians, or who knows!  Most cherry pickers don't even have to cherry pick. The GOOD work goes to the GOOD workers.  Its simple.  So, be nice, have a good attitude, and do your job.  You're far more likely to get good dictators that way then dreaming up conspiracy theories or looking to blame the invisible cherry pickers.  You can look to those over you in authority, and really should perhaps put a little reflection on WHY you are getting the garbage over and over.  It sure can't hurt to try to look at it another way, cause its really not all as complex and complicated to figure out as you would like! Look to yourselves before always, always blaming those cherry picking Indian VR MTs!  Start tomorrow with a NEW attitude. Or, if its too late at your job, maybe start fresh somewhere else! I doubt it would hurt, and you sure might find yourselves with a new attitude and on the receiving end of some good reports!

The AAMT is IN FAVOR of offshoring, not against it...do you ever get out of the house?

Add me to the people who favor at-home work. sm
There really are a few companies an MT can count on for reasonably good benefits.

As someone who has no children, no husband, boyfriend, or parents, if you have what I don't, CHERISH IT! The people you love are far more important than PTO! Enjoy the beautiful office your husband made for you. It obviously was done with love. You're a very fortunate woman.

Don't forget to count your blessings every day!
I'm in favor of showers for all pregnancies/babies
Diapers and supplies are always needed regardless of which pregnancy it is. Also, babies are so wonderful; I love celebrating them (and their moms) with baby showers!
online testing seems to favor BOS2 but..
my hospital used BOS3. I failed a test recently because I used BOS3 so you can't win.
I took offense at that too, but I chose to ignore it in favor of the issue of the post.
I figured if we made a big deal of that one word the focus would be taken off the real issue.
It's a small doctor's office so I am doing it as a favor for a mutual friend....
Nice to do something different every now and then.


That sounds like an episode of Animal Cops! I'm glad it worked out in your favor. nm
