Everyone wanted me to wait, I just couldn't. We do have another dog, a golden, but he is my hubby's

dog. Just not quite the same. I like lap dogs and he weighs in at 120 pounds, too big for my lap. The two dogs get along great. The golden loves the fact that he now has someone to play with, as my other one was much too old to do anything but eat, sleep and potty, all in that order. There was quite a bit of adjustment, but it has worked out great.

New. Wanted to put in a better card to support a game my 17yo DD wanted to play.

Yes you are exactly right on. Couldnt have said it better.
Thank you - I couldnt' have said it better myself.
Couldnt agree more!
I posted on this forum just to find out if I even wanted to get into this field, part time, and got nothing but rude replies back. I was shocked!!
My actual career field (engineering) is NOTHING like that and we are experiencing tons of outsourcing to India. I've NEVER had such rude replies to just a simple "What is your experience in this". I'm shocked and apalled at how quick some folks on here were to bash on me!
Good luck to you and I hope you encounter better people than I have!
Amen, I couldnt have said it better. What are you going to do now? nm

couldnt agree with you more
noticed a hospital in Miami was advertising for inhouse at $12/hour and COL is terrible here.
Couldnt they just run a magnet up his body

How did they replace MTs that couldnt cut it as obviously some wont want the stress of it.

Our Golden used to be that way sm
I found that if I ignored the storm and went about my daily routine, he calmed down. Also, if you have the tv on with the all the weather announcements that go beep, beep, beep, trying putting the tv on mute. I found the noise with those announcements drove him nuts. He's much better if he doesn't hear that constant beep, beep, beep. We also took him outside to see the sky, play in the rain, etc. It worked. He's no longer afraid. Lots of petting worked,too. Good luck!

Back in the Dictaphone dayz, some docs couldnt even
And if their sloppy dictation habits are any clue, I just can't see them suddenly becoming diligent about editing and correcting their work. A few, maybe. But in general? Nuh-uh.
Golden Isle
Does anyone know anything about Golden Isle medical transcription?
The Golden Girls...
I love the Golden Girls...though it does come on Lifetime I think like 5-6 times a day...I love that show! 
That's strange I bought the adapter but couldnt get it to work right. Maybe cuz it was a laptop..
I'll have to try it again. I just could not get it to work right. I would get sound but then it would freeze up.
Couldnt get Express scribe setup to play dss file

I have a Golden Retriever that needs her walk every day, sometimes
twice a day. I walk 2 miles daily and go to the gym at least 3x a week. No big butt here, although I have noticed things shift as we get a little older. I am 39 and my boobs shift to my armpits (LOL) Any exercises for them?
Golden Isles Transcription - sm
Question for anyone who has been with them long enough to form an opinion! How is work availability and pay scale? Do they offer vacation time? If not, do they allow you to take a week off (unpaid) for vacation. How flexible is scheduling? How are the QA people? I have checked the archives and cannot find a whole lot. Maybe a fairly new company? TIA!
Don't get hung up with the golden handcuffs. (SM)
It is so easy to convince yourself you cannot make as much money at a different company or on a different account, or never find anything better, so you stay where you are, taking all the abuse in the world. In management, this is called the Golden Handcuff, and they rely on it to keep the same employees, never give a raise, never give respect, and just continue to walk all over you.
In this profession you are very mobile if you can transcribe at all. It may take a month to get used to a new system, a new account, or whatever, but your self respect is worth it in the end. There are a lot of companies out there that actually do appreciate employees, and it certainly does not seem to be any of the companies who are mentioned frequently on these boards.
I changed jobs about a month ago, thought I would never learn, but in a week I was making far more with a small MTSO than I ever did with a large company. Treat yourself to a new beginning and a new year.
A 3yo yellow lab and a 2yo golden retriever. sm
Believe me, they keep me busy! The yellow lab is a freak about his rubber ball - has to have it with him every second or he goes crazy. The golden retriever is still very much a baby but is getting better. Both of these breeds are considered a "puppy" until they 3yo, so I'm patiently biding my time til they leave the puppy stage. I love them to death, tho, and can't imagine life w/o them. The lab is the absolute best dog I've ever had. Great with the kids, good protectors.
Golden Isles Transcription? sm
Can anybody tell me anything good or bad about Golden Isles Transcription. They have an opening for oncology account. Thinking about jumping out of the Medquist boat. Anybody?

Yup - 80 lb golden retriever loves to lay right at my feet. sm
She also likes to lay right at my chair, so when I roll it, I am always on her tail or something. She drives me crazy too. She has to be everywhere I am. Love her to death tho! Don't want to be without her.
My Golden does that same exact thing every evening at the
exact same time, 9:30 p.m. This usually happens after she is finished eating. We leave her bowl down 24/7 and she eats whenever she is hungry, so food never became an issue. She tends to eat mostly in the evening around 9 PM and she gets energy spurts right after. How funny is that!
She is 4 years old and still plenty active. She is my best buddy though. Awesome breed, would never want any other.
Labs and retrievers must have exercise every day. We walk for at least 30 minutes with at least 15 minutes of free run for her in an open field.
Love my Golden!
Golden cuffs! sounds kinky or more like
socialism again. Why doesn't the owner have a right to profit from his/her/their investiment? This isn't a debate about what profit is acceptable and what isn't. As another poster said, it isn't YOUR money on the line. I bet you would B&M no what what job you did, who you did it for or what standards (or lack of standards) you would be held to or not wish to be held to. You either get it or you don't. This issue isn't confined to the MT business...which brings a question to mind...if you feel you are being mistreated, you must like it because you don't seem to be getting out of it! I firmly believe in capitalism...what can I say, I'm a fan of Ben Franklin!
When I was little I thought it was a giant golden potato chip- sm
we even called it that every year...don't remember how that got started though, funny now.
Update..bought computer today and Dell and found out it couldnt get here as fast as I needed it so I
Got the same computer for like $400 less and they'll ship it out tomorrow. Should be here in 4 days..Same everything including warranty. Try Ebay.!!!
Since you are new, just wait. Newbies have to wait. sm
Just because you said a "doctor's office" that narrows it down. No national work for private doctor's offices. It is all acute care. Just wait. They will let you know how you are doing.
Thinking of applying at Golden Isles Medical Transcription..sm
Would someone with some inside information please email me? I would like to know some particulars about this company before I think of applying for a job. Would be interested in their platform, the type of accounts, their line rate, whether they require weekend work, and anything else you would care to share! Thank you.

Sometimes it's best to wait, sometimes not
I guess it all depends on the person and the mood. I've done both. We most always have more than one pet, and this last time when Sally died (150 pound part St. Bernard and part mastiff), the house was so empty without a dog. We only had my cat left. So we waited about 1 1/2months and finally couldn't stand it so we went to the pound and got Bubba, part bloodhound and part German shepherd. He would love a "sibling" but I had to put my old cat through another change just yet. Soon, though.
I can't wait either!!
He starts back the 24th of this month, so only 7 more working days for him to be home with me-I love having him home but he is only going to be in first grade so he gets a bit antsy but luckily I start at 5:00 a.m. so am pretty much done by noon or so. I can get so much more work done when he is not asking for a snack every 5 minutes -gotta love em though.
Can't wait, but
I haven't heard anything yet!
Wait a second...JK, JJ...Which one is it???...
At least if you don't want to post as a former something, don't change names in the middle of the thread. Someone might get bent over it,  and we sure don't want anyone getting upset over something trivial now, do we??? 
Wait and see what happens.

Can't wait!!!! sm
My DH has sole custody of SD11 (and SS7). She hasn't shown much interest in make-up yet, but I'm sure it's coming! We were visiting a friend the other night and SD11 met the next-door-neighbor girl who is 14 and dresses gothic. SD told me about it and all her skull stuff. I just told her she looks so pretty in her pink and I hope she keeps on looking her cute self. She agreed! Whew, for now!
Wait a second...
What I am saying is that the ones in gated communities ARE the guilty ones. THEY are the ones who could afford and had the means to be prepared. THEY are the ones in the lines!!
The ones who have no money or means suffer at the expense of the ones who DO have the ability to prepare.
That is what totally baffles me is that why didn't more people prepare!!!???
Wait!
I'm sorry, but no, I haven't heard from this other company. I would encourage you to wait for them or apply elsewhere. MQ is in a state of change right now and nobody who works for them is happy right now. There are some big changes afoot as of 1/1/06 and everyone is speculating what will happen (MedQuist NEVER tells us what is going on - we learn everything about this company by rumors and posting on this board - think twice about going with a company that keeps their employees in the dark!) If the first company doesn't call you back, there are plenty of other GOOD jobs, but I think you would be making a terrible mistake to go with MQ. Many, many MTs are LEAVING MQ right now.
He says he'd want me to wait until they are both 18 - sm
They are 5 & 7 now (I'm 40). He's afraid of my marrying a child molester if they were young. I told him remarrying would be the last thing on my mind and I doubt I'd be running out and doing it any time soon (or even date) should he died any time soon. (he's 46).
Cant wait to see....nm

I know, can't wait.
I don't ever watch CBS except for this time of year. I have watched BB since the beginning. I went online the other day to see when it is starting. I can't wait to see who the candidates are. This one should be good!
I would not wait to see a doc sm
It could be a blood clot. Let us know how you make out.
Thank you both so much...I cant wait...nm

I can't wait...
To see the URL behind this blatantly offensive equipment he's attempting to plug on a MEDICAL Transcriptionist WEBSITE.
Why isn't this guy banned?
Oh wait...
What I mean is, the doctor may not even be aware that his/her account is SR. I don't know if they are telling the clients or not. The doctor dictates as per normal. The SR is done at the MTSO by the ME using the SR software that "listens" to the recorded dictation and spits out a document to edit.
wait for your first job
I already had a pedal and ear buds when I was job hunting for my first job, but my plan was not to purchase anything else until I landed my first job at home. I'm glad I did since the company I work for uses Bayscribe and everything was free. I only do office notes, so the need to buy references is also going to be put off until I get an account that is harder. Even then, we will see. I did purchase the new edition of the Book of Style and that has been helpful. You never know what a company may want you to have in regards to word expanders, equipment, and references. I don't think it will hurt you as a new person to wait. You will be lucky if anyone responds positively to your job hunt as a newbie. I contacted around 100 companies, some more than once, and I got one reply.
If you already have a job, then disregard my comment. Maybe my advice isn't what someone else would do, but why spend money if you don't have to. You may be buying the wrong stuff.
