Find something fulfilling to do - something with a purpose (sm)

Posted By: Carolina on 2008-03-10
In Reply to: I need help. Just read this. I need to tell you. - NeedSomeone2Listen

What if you got a job helping those less fortunate than you? Many people were born with mental and physical disabilities and you could use your abilities to help them. Apply for a job at a home for the mentally retarded or for the elderly - do something that makes you feel good in your heart - where you know at the end of the day that you made a difference in someone else's life. That will make you feel wonderful!

If not something like that, and you just need some variety, work for a temp agency so that you can keep learning one job after another and moving on.

Right now you are living in oppressed conditions. Anyone would get depressed being alone in the dark day after day. I do believe in depression - anyone who does not is jut unaware. Get yourself out of that apartment! Go for a walk. Make a point to smile at at least 5 people who look unhappy - force yourself to smile. Read up on the internet about how lack of UV rays causes seasonal affective disorder - read about how forcing yourself to do things like smile, cause endorphins to be released in your body and make you feel better. Use your brilliant mind to figure your way out of the maze you are in - you will have to look to new ways of thinking,and new ways of living.

The purpose of QA is not to fix your mistakes DEAR..the purpose is to get your quality up so we don&
look at your work. It gets sent directly to the client and we do an occasional audit. If you don't want to deal with editors then listen to what they say and pull your damn score up and you won't have to worry about it all. The comments left are feedback. Why the hell should we just "give you the answer" we need to explain it to you so you do not make the same mistake. Sounds to me like you editor is probably pulling her hair out with you. If you can't cut it, get out of the business!
Actually LIFE is very fulfilling. It's working that sux! (sm)
Gets in the way of doing sports, traveling, and generally having fun whenever and wherever. Still, I find lots of ways to have fun and entertain myself. Reading bulletin boards frequented by the denizens of the Bible Belt is not only fun, entertaining, it's also educational. It's a great way to help me to even more fully appreciate living on the West Coast, where people enjoy life and are not so "by-the-book" rigid.
There is a purpose for everything
God is good!  Congratulations!!!  I hope and pray each day that I can get out of this industry soon!!  My hubbie is starting a business and I just pray that it will lead to us having our own business and then GOOD BYE to transcription industry!!  It was a blessing starting out but man alive it is getting on my last nerve now, definately not my calling. 
Ah, what's your purpose in this? If it gives you a
others down (others whom did NOTHING to you, BTW), then I want no part of it. Way to class it up.

Hope you have a nice life free of bitterness. I wash my hands of such negativity.
That was my purpose in

That was my purpose in posting this, the fact that he is bringing attention to it.  I think it is great that he cares about our medical records and I hope he can bring some attention to the importance of how and where and by whom they are done, making the public aware. 


Uhm, but that is the purpose of BUSINESS...
...these companies don't exist just to give us poor MTs jobs. GEEZ.

Keeping the client happy keeps BUSINESS, sis.

You don't like it? GET ANOTHER JOB. GEEZ.

Why in the world would someone do that on purpose? I am 5Ɔ" and an

What's your purpose posting this?
Why to show off in that way, making others suspect that you are lying?
Don't wonder if you get nasty replies.

The Purpose Driven Life...
I have felt very overwhelmed too over the past several months, and my DH gave me a book for Christmas that is the most wonderful gift he's ever given me...."The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. It is written to be read at the rate of one chapter a day, so it is very managable in our busy schedules.

Anyway, this book has made a huge impact on my outlook on life already, and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to anyone who is questioning their purpose in life. It is a wonderful book, and if you can't afford to purchase it, you probably get it from the library.


forgot to mention other purpose was sm
I had XP home edition on my PC and they needed Professional edition for their platform MedRite, so was using their PC.
If you click a link by accident or on purpose sm
that message can open a trojan on your PC that will access your ebay information.  Happened to me once and some yo-yo hijacked my EBay account and ran up $3000.00 worth of charges in about 2 hours. My account got suspended for suspicious activity and I was notified by EBay of the problem.  Lucky for me, they found out who did it and cancelled all the charges. I had to go to the EBay chat with customer service and repair the damage. Took about an hour.  Now I change my password everytime I get a message that's fake and send everything to spoof@ebay.  It really does help.  So, if you do get a note about suspicious activity, then go to Ebay and see if you can log in.  If not, then the email is from them. 
The sole purpose of AAMT was and is to make..

money.  With some online schools pushing their credibility to newbies, enough have fallen for "it" that they still rake in plenty.  The original idea was, no doubt, a good one.  Somewhere along the way, the working MT was forgotten.  AAMT in no way represents the best interests of the working MT.  The idea they are pushing now of making CMT credentialing mandatory is a joke and certainly not in the best interest of hundreds of thousands of working American MTs.


Hey, I'll send anyone a test (for a mere $50 fee), and I will *allow* them to use the prestigious ND after their name if they pass. 


Oh, what does NS stand for, you ask?  NO DUMMY


Of course it's a business! Anything that's run for the purpose of earning a profit is a busine

What galaxy are you on?


I guess I don't understand the purpose of a time stamp
being put throughout a document? Can someone explain why this would be needed?
why would you want both services? if you keep your vonage, it would defeat the purpose of buying th

purpose of gallbladder is to squirt bile into digestive system
which helps emulsify fat. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with weight loss or not. I've never seen frequent notes that state, as a condition associated with gallbladder disease, that "patient is unable to lose weight." In fact, being fat is one of the 5 F's associated with gallbladder disease - Fat, Female, Fair, Forty and Fertile.
Of course you can, but there is a board for that purpose. Feel free to post on the Comedy Stop.

go to chat room on web site and find out. i'm working but if you find out, let me know.
creepy dude.
I find most of my abbreviations here. Scroll all the way down until you find the abbreviation box.

I didn't find an 800 number, but I did find this number...
1 650-253-0000

I find that if I ....sm

get over-tired I'll have more problems with palpitations than when I'm well rested.  I also have them more if I've been taking in more caffeine.  While these palpitations are harmless they are annoying, aren't they?


So find a new job already
It's your own fault if you stay and put up with it.  Complaining doesnt change a thing. Find a new job, we have all done it! 
Did they say why? Did you ask? Did you go find another job?

Got me, but when you find out
please let me know too. I've had that in the past and it's freaky. The phone company couldn't even tell me where they came from!
find it odd??
There are many countries world-wide including Cuba and Iran that have offered help.  Many celebs have pledged millions too.
Can't find out anything.
If I hear "Corporate says" one more time, my head will explode. It's like they lost the ability to think on their own and are robots. makes me mad

Hey - Tell me what you find out! THX!
no message
How did you find this out? sm
Was there a story on the Web or do you know a Phillips executive or what?  Just curious.
I FIND IT
THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE PROBABLY OLD AND MENNONITE AND ARE JUST A DOWN RIGHT MISERABLE PERSON.........GO AND CRAWL BACK INTO YOUR HOLE YOU BIG OL' GRUMP!
Maybe you should find something else right now
and if you're unhappy with what comes up in October, then you'll be up and running with another option?

Hey, how about YOU find something better
You are a psycho b***ch!! GET OFF THIS BOARD!!
can someone tell me where to find

other listings for MT jobs besides this site and mtjobs.com?  i'd even be interested in things outside of mt as long as i can do it from home.....need to change to something better soon - like yesterday!


 TIA!


I got into this because I could not find a job elsewhere. sm
And I found I was good at it, but I have always wanted out, though I have been here 25 years (needs of the family outweighed my "wants").

I think in my next life I want to be a government assassin or something like that.
Where do you find a job like that?
.
Who says she HAS to find another man?

I firmly believe that the girl doesn't have to get the guy at the end in order for there to be a happy ending. 


Her husband can still be a good dad to his daughter without the two of them being married.  If she is unhappy and the situation isn't good for her other child, she should seriously consider leaving.  Just my opinion.


Once you find it...

Even after you find it, you will pay $25 to have the entries added to SpeedType - AND after already paying nearly $200 for the program.  I found that ridiculous.  The included instructions for adding the entries yourself do not work, so you are rather forced to have them do it for you.  Personally, I think that is a bit of a rip off.  I still have SpeedType sitting here unused, because I told them the fee was just not right, and they should include instructions that work! 


Gosh, that didn't help much. 


 


 


how do i find one of those?

oh well, just some of them need to find...N/M

IF they really have to, then they should find
a humane way to do it. I have a feeling though that it wasn't something that was necessary to begin with.

Also, because it was mentioned, even animals raised for food consumption have feelings, are smart, etc. In my eyes, a cow is no different than a dog....it's just what everyone has been raised as acceptable.

If any animals have to die though, it needs to be done humanely. If you want to see some things that are barbaric, go visit a slaughter house, a chicken farm or fur farm right here in our own country. We are no different. We are just not running around in the streets with clubs in our hands.
Thanks. I will try to find it!

What you find out-
Please let me know what you find out from your CPA.  I need to make an appointment with an attorney before I decide anything else.  Makes me wonder what this world is coming to.  We have legitimate deductions.  It is not like we get cash for our work (at least I do not).  We get a 1099 every dang year.
Trying to find...
A good recipe for hashbrown casserole.  The hospital where I used to work made a delicious kind and I'm gonna **try** to reproduce it! :)
Is there any way you can find out
what make and model you liked at your in-house job? I bought 3 different EXPENSIVE chairs that seemed to have the same features as a chair I loved, but none of them had what one favorite chair did for me. Finally I got a job that happened to have the same chair, and it actually belonged to another Transcriptionist in the office. I bought it from her because this chair hasn't been made since the 1990s. It's a Herman Miller, looks like ER200 or EP200, but what it does for me is take the weight off my ischial tuberosities AND conform to my lower back. While this chair did have a lot of enthusiasts in offices I've worked, others have other favorites. The best test is actually using a chair for 2 weeks, unfortunately.
Did you find one?

I find that if

I turn away from my screen and read over my shoulder, I can catch errors that I normally wouldn't because of concentration required.


 


Let us knows if you find some.

But when they find out you know
I have found my doctors will talk with me in their language, not breaking it down so with lay person. Go to the same ones,not a problem there. I have found the providers usually read what kind of work you do and start off asking you about your profession. Years ago before the physician diagnosed me with hypothyroidism, I told him what was the problem, had all the classic symptoms, asked him to check TSH, T3 and T4. He said needed physical done and yet he forgot to order tests. I returned, no tests. I said that was the issue in the first place- needless to say when the tests came back immediately referred to endo as tests way over the top for the norm. If I had not done this type of work, if had not known symptoms, might have suffered longer than I did. I also told a relative one time to ask their doctor for an appetite stimulant, wrote down the name and their appetite came back whereas before skin and bones type appearance with their inability to eat. This knowledge has paid off for me sometimes.
s/l you need to find a job outside of MT. If your CTS
has become an issue and surgery isn't an option (I'm assuming since you don't have insurance you aren't considering it) it doesn't seem like a company change would help, sounds more like you just need a job change.   Maybe part of the depression is you have come too isolated too, so getting a "real" job would help there also. 
Oh please! If you don't like your job, find another one. nm
