It's healthy to enjoy some alone time. You'll adjust and enjoy it soon.

prepare yourself--you may not really want to know
Do a search but you will probably be surprised. Lots of people love them though.
It doesn't prepare you
especially if you want to work from home. If you start out in-house or find a very selfless, big-hearted mentor, you could probably make a go at it.

Starting at home, I doubt you'll find very many companies to give you a chance just from the school's reputation and the fact they flat-out don't prepare you. A lot of companies don't want to take that chance or don't want to re-train a graduate who is supposed to be prepared.
Prepare for editing? The only
budgeting and living on a decreased income.  Sorry, but it's true.
what'd you serve with it?
mashed potatos, pasta, rice? All of the above! I'm a carb freak, can you tell. I personally appreciate any good, quick and easy recipes.  It's like I never have time to "cook" anymore! I mean really cook, like mama used to!  excuse me, I'm gettin' all choked up! LOL
This is one I serve sometimes
Skillet-browned chicken breasts; chilled pasta salad; mashed sweet potatoes.

Make your pasta salad first and let it get good and cold before serving. Boil a bag of tricolor rotini and drain, immediately immerse in cold water. I add a drained can of LeSeur baby peas, a drained can of LeSeur baby carrots, sometimes a drained can of niblet corn, and any other tender veggies you want. Toss with about 1 to 1-1/2 cups of either low-fat Italian or Ranch dressing, depending on the taste you want. Chill until dinner.

Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil. Rinse and pat dry your boneless skinless chicken breasts and simply rub with salt and pepper -- gently brown in the olive oil.

Mashed sweet potatoes: Peel and cut into chunks 2-3 good-size sweet potatoes. Boil until tender and drain. Mash with salt, pepper, and a dash of milk.


agree 100% when areas not predicted get hit; they can't prepare. sm
i am 280 miles inland and rita affected us here. we have NEVER been under a tropical storm warning as we were with rita but did get prepared. i stocked up for 2 weeks as they told us too and stocked up gas before it was gone. however, it turned and hit the unprepared areas due to forecasters.

where are you, in lufkin? i am in tyler.
I have been trying to prepare for this, dont buy milk anymore, etc. nm

Does it serve your financial needs?
The main criteria for any job wage would be whether you think it is a fair trade for your skills and will it provide what you need it to financially.

I personally would not work for $15 an hour. However, your needs may be different from mine. I also have other options. You may not.

It is a very subjective question and one that only you can really answer.

It certainly couldn't hurt! Makes sense to prepare
Could only help, right?
That is a noble thing, I believe . To serve for
I started in the early 80s and worked my way through college, and decided to keep with it rather than go for my intended job in the liberal arts. I have never been sorry. I have always been inspired. From steno pad to manual typewriter, and rolling fax machines. From white out to voice editing, I still believe it to be a noble profession. Good for you!
Need to prepare -- Anyone out working at home delivered by C-section? I know they say 6 weeks to
recover and get back into an 8-hour day job routine, but did anyone come back sooner because they worked at home and were able to rest more and space out your work time?
Got an air horn?!!! Would serve them right to lose their hearing! nm

In France, they serve Lapin (rabbit)...yum

Yes, we idolize people who do drugs and serve placenta pate.

Always fresh, the baby spinach. Need a few bags to serve a crowd, though. nm

No prob...I go with what...
...I remember.  For me "bothkids" works - to each her own - especially since I time 100 wpm anyway.  Actually, I didn't say I didn't like Shorthand.  You asked who has worked on each and for info, and I indicated that I like ShortKeys better because...
No prob. Thanks for the explanation! sm
I work really hard to make my work accurate, spending probably too much time researching. I read medical books for fun and learning on my own time, and I am very particular. However, I see stuff all the time that indicates that a lot of MTs don't care too much about quality or don't know how to achieve it. I wonder about legal liability and the safeguards in place in hospitals and nursing homes to make sure meds are correct, etc. I personally do not think MTs have ultimate responsibility for patient safety and if we do accept this onus, we are going to start getting sued for malpractice and having to buy insurance, which I don't think we should have to do. Just some of the things I wonder about and wanted to get opinions, especially from people with hands-on patient care experience. Thanks again for writing back and explaining.
I've had that prob. too. SM
When I re-booted, all seemed ok. Don't remember if I hit re-start or actually waited for an extended period of time before I powered the 'puter back up.
had same prob with Linksys... -sm
I had the same issues with the Linksys router that we bought. Couldn't connect to the company and couldn't do any file transfers. I gave that one away (couldn't find the receipt) and bought a Belkin router. It was a bit more expensive, but OH SO worth it!! I set the whole thing up in no time and with no help and no calls to tech support for the router...all just using the CD they sent. It has worked from day one without a hitch!! My suggestion: Trash the Linksys and get a Belkin. You won't regret it!
My prob is reading it how it SHOULD be and not

He prob. makes $XXX,XXX.XX & U $XX,XXX.XX

I've had same prob
I've had the same problem. Google will look fine and then once I go back to it, it will be all tiny. All of mine still fits on one page though. I haven't figured it out but if I close it out and go somewhere else and then come back to Google, it usually resolves itself. If that doesn't work, I think restarting your pc will straighten it out.
You can serve chili sauce or a chutney spread on a bar of soft cream cheese to put on

syntax prob? your dream 5 ft 2 in..nm


Dictaphone prob, and they are working on it.
But they tend to work on these problems late at night and on weekends, so that stretches out the length of time it takes for them to actually solve the problem. They don't want to take the entire system down during the busiest work times. They did replace the server over the weekend, which apparently didn't help. At least they know the glitch isn't a hardware issue. Sorry. I'm waiting and waiting for line counts, too. It is frustrating.
they prob can dictate a schedule
no tx...  find a new job that is IC and doesn't demand a schedule; quit feeding the hungry MTSOs that only want to pad their pockets...  UGGHHH! 
NO PROB WITH ESLs WHO ARE WELL-SPOKEN - sm

since there are a lot of them who really put forth the effort to be understood; I don't mind being a little more patient with them.  But the ones who KNOW their English sux and insist on rambling on a 78 rpm (as well as their American counterparts).  What I would really like to ask them to do is to SPEAK LIKE YOU SPOKE AT YOUR JOB INTERVIEW WITH THE HOSPITAL.  I'm sure they had no trouble being understood then. I'd still rather have a good ESL who's reallying trying than a sloppy US doctor - we KNOW he/she knows how to speak correctly; it's just carelessness.  What are they going to do with the few extra seconds they save?


Most hospitals I worked at would not tolerate lousy dictators - and from my experience, mgmt. almost always sided with the MT.  I even overhead one administrator tell a sloppy dictator to .."Either clean up your act or get someone else to dictate for you.  We're not getting into a lawsuit bec. of your carelessness...and my desk is stacked with resumes. 


MY PET PEEVE WITH ALL OF THE DICTATORS?   PLEEEEZE take the 2-3 seconds it takes to SPELL ANOTHER DOCTOR'S NAME, esp. with a CC.  I'm born knowing how to spell it, right?  But I'm not jumping hoops looking it up ... just leave blank.  They'll get the message.


But we know the MTSOs won't touch that subject.  Better see US tear our hair out and loose $$ with s---y dictators than confront the client.


She is scared about turn around time of her business. Prob nothing you can do other than what you d
She does understand, just frustrated and wanting to prob, poke, intimidate, make you feel bad. Just stay calm, when giving her choices just stay calm and say which would you want me to handle for you. Say, I can HELP YOU with thus and thus. She knowwwws just scared and just remain calm, stick to your "Calm Guns" and don't take personally. Say, I know you are worried, this is how I can help, which will it be (so to speak, she will soften and might end up apologizing a bit. Remain at least another month and see how pans out.
prob priviledged info but under the category of (small)
whatever they want either way.

do they toy with the figures? probably. research line count software.
put leg straight out. Pull gently on toes. More pain? Prob DVT.
Could be pulled muscle. Don't need cellulitis with DVT, but generally will have some swelling, warmth MAYBE. Try the toe pull thing with the leg stretched out, see if it hurts. If it does, see a doc today, please.
I do not think it is in the help menu, not sure though.

Menu

For crunchy snacks - pork rinds.


I ate a lot of eggs (whites), omelets, tuna, chicken, meats in general, hot dogs, cheese and fresh veggies of most sorts and salads.


Sandwiches were made inside of leaves of lettuce and rolled instead of bread, and after induction, low-carb tortillas, and I never missed the bread either.


After induction, you can munch on things like walnuts, pecans, and macademia nuts and all berries.for snacks.


Oh, while on induction, I ate a TON of sugar-free jello with home-made whipped cream whipped with Splenda.  That really satisfied my sweet tooth. 


I had to go on the Atkins because my cholesterol was high and because I had arthritis, my doc didn't want me to go on Statin drugs as that makes muscle aches/pains a thousand times worse


After the diet, I lost a lot of weight and sure enough, my cholesterol leveled out beautifully.  I also felt a thousand times better on this diet and had more energy.


I'm getting ready to go on it again....


Good luck on your diet.  


See the top menu..
of Your Internet Explorer.

Help > About Internet Explorer
The left Menu....
The left Menu is actually a javascript for fast loading of pages. Your browser's scripting is disabled.

Go to "Tools -> Internet Options..." from the main menu of Internet Explorer.

Change to the "Security" tab
Select "Custom Level".

Make sure "Enable" is selected under "Active scripting"

Restart the browser.

If above doesn't work, run some Spyware or Anti-virus, because most of the viruses and Trojans stops the javascript in first place.


The menu bar is back. THANK YOU!!!

Not sure why the Alt+V and other suggestions didn't work but maybe it's because I needed to download the service packs after un/reinstalling Word. I also somehow managed to make RTF format the default in Word, but don't know how. In any case, I just thank you all so much for the help. It was such a frustrating thing to deal with and sucked the whole day away. I'm so happy that I can look forward to a productive day today, thanks to everyone here.


I'm always looking to add to our network of ICs, and especially seek out generous, cooperative transcriptionists like you folks here . We have a private board that runs on that kind of spirit and as a result we really have an awesome team. If any of you needs another company to work with, please be sure to email me (and be sure to mention this thread).



 


Our menu's very similar to yours
Were having Taco Bell tacos, cheetos, and Star Bucks Carmel Machalatas (I think I spelled that right, but it's those ice cold carmel coffee drinks they make. They go great with Tacos.
My menu says #2 is pause...
I have only been using a C-phone for a week and haven't even tried all the menu options, including this one! But that's what my menu says. If you need more info you can e-mail me. Good luck!
Start menu
Go to control panel, click on "Task Bar & Start Menu", check the box that says show the clock and apply.
Add cheeseburgers and wine to the menu! nm

I go to alt-E and bring up the expansion menu sm
then I add a new header in there. That way, the new header created will be saved and usable in future reports. Maybe there is a better way - I do not claim to be a DQS genius, but this does work for me
Moving menu bars
You may have just moved it - try moving your other toolbars around, see if it comes back.  I've done the same thing in the past!
Where in the Help menu did you find the ctrl k tip?
xx
What's on the menu for din-din tonight? I'm making...

Chicken and sage dumplings and tossed salad with Roqufurt (sp?) dressing...


Next? 


Well, my husband and I rule the menu here.
We're sure not going to let the kids do it, otherwise it would be pizza, tacos, and hot dogs daily and everyone would keel over from clogged arteries at the age of 30!  Beside, like Kikki said, it's not good to let the kids call the shots.  That's why the good Lord made parents! 
No one said the kids should rule the menu
But if you love your kids then you understand that they are people too, with their own tastebuds. Just because they might have a suggestion doesn't automatically make it JUNK. Just different.

Trust me, my kids know who the boss is. Geez!!!!!
On the menu...pork roast w/
mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. The pork roast is in the crock pot slow roasting all day while I work my fingers to the bone!! It will be served with homemade mashers with brown gravey and mixed veggies.uuuummmmm!! Can't wait til dinner. ;)

Ordering avorites menu on www

Hi,


Over the past few days some weirdness has been happening with my "Favorites" listing:  Everything was ordered precisely the way I wanted it, but I look up one day to find that they have been put into alpha order.  At one point they went back to how I had them arranged; the next, they're in alpha order again. 


Have no clue what I touched/hit, the Microsoft help website is of absolutely no help, and I'm going crazy trying to find things in the spot where they used to be.  Don't want to re-train my eyes, my memory, or my fingers to searching for things in alpha order.  It's really not useful or convenient. 


Any ideas?  (short of manually moving everything back into place?  Thanks.
