Fresh Salsa Recipe Too!
Here's the recipe for the salsa too...my husband begs me to make it every summer when the fresh tomatoes are in season. I love the flavor of the cilantro and lime juice. Yum!

FRESH SALSA

-12-14 LARGE ROMA TOMATOES
-ONE BUNCH FRESH CILANTRO
-ONE SMALL SWEET OR VIDALIA ONION (MORE OR LESS TO TASTE)
-ONE GREEN PEPPER
-2 CLOVES GARLIC
-JALAPENO PEPPER (START WITH A FEW THIN SLICES TILL DESIRED
TEMP.)
2 ˝ t. SALT
2 ˝ t. Lawry’s SEASON SALT
JUICE OF ˝ LIME (OPTIONAL)

IN A FOOD PROCESSOR, ADD CUT UP TOMATOES WITH A HANDFUL OF CILANTRO, PULSE TILL CHOPPED BUT NOT LIQUID. THIS WILL TAKE A FEW LOADS. POUR INTO LARGE BOWL.

ADD ONION, GARLIC AND GREEN PEPPER TO PROCESSOR. PULSE TILL FINELY CHOPPED. ADD TO BOWL.

ADD SEASONINGS AND MIX WELL.

LEAVE IN BOWL FOR ONE HOUR. MIX AGAIN AND TASTE TO SEE IF YOU NEED TO ADD ANY MORE HEAT OR SPICES.

KEEP IN FRIDGE (MUST BE KEPT COLD). USE WITHIN 5 DAYS. MAKES 2 TO 2 ˝ QUARTS.

You are welcome - you are like a breath of fresh,unpolluted air! (nm)

Being a "service" employee is still fresh...

in my mind.  Maybe after I've been out of the loop for a few more years, I might start to forget what it was like.  But I highly doubt it, because all I have to do is go to any store, hospital, bank, restaurant, heck even a traffic light and just watch...watch the angry, impatient, "me me me me me me" people out there.


Working at home...I kinda feel like I'm my own boss.  Sure there are e-mails and TAT issues, but I actually have control over most of that stuff.  I get out of my job what I put into it.  Yeah, some days are harder than others, but that's just life.


Fresh in my mind are the 8+ hour days of standing on my feet ALL DAY LONG at a register on Mother's Day in a sweltering hot greenhouse putting foil and bows on potted plants, or answering phones at an answering service that were so busy that at the end of 4 hours my voice would be hoarse, or being unable to pee because there was a line of ornery patient's waiting with scowls on their face because THEY needed their outpatient tests booked RIGHT NOW because THEY were on their lunch break and their time is money!  (and then when you finally do get the chance to pee, some nasty-a$$ crotch-cricket-ridden patient decided to leave a floater or pee on the seat!)  And all of this was at least 10 years ago now and still painfully vivid. 


So yeah, go ahead and work in the real trenches and then make a fair comparison of working at home versus working somewhere else.  Whackin' on keys and having to repeatedly playback some ESL now and again ain't nuthin' compared to putting up with a bunch of crap that you can only imagine if you haven't experienced it first hand.



Fresh out of school with no "real"

experience you have no clue.  You don't know about various platforms, equipment needed, insurance, taxes, contracts, not to mention your transcription skills are limited and you have no QA skills.  


Unfortunately there are many like you who seemed to have not investigated this business and how hard it is to get a job before taking classes and then end up in the same position as you, graduating and no chances of a job. 


Another change is that fresh out of school 15 yrs ago,

So far all I have is some fresh green beans and potatoes....nm

Try a slice of fresh lemon in water.
It changes the taste completely.
Vet trained me and even now, they like fresh faces that they can train how they want. nm

Candles that smell like fresh cut grass. sm
Gosh, I just love that smell.  Anyone know where I can purchase something like that?  What a great pick me up for winter.  Also, love the clean smell of fresh rain.  If  I could only bottle that aroma.....
Jewelsy, you're a breath of fresh air (sm)

I appreciate your experience and insight!  I agree about clinic work being boring; so is radiology.  And VR/speech rec has really taken over radiology and clinic, the same for EMR.  I know it's going to be a huge challenge for a few months, but I'm up for the challenge!  Plus I've done interventional radiology-type transcription (minimally invasive procedures) with really tough dictators, so I have a bit of a heads up. 


Thanks again!  I'd like to update you in my transition late this summer.

Be realistic! A newbie, fresh out school, no experience whatsoever cannot expect to get accounts

on her own and definitely cannot expect to earn $50k! 


EMR is coming whether you like it not and whether your doctors are older or not.  Eventually the older doctors will retire and the new generation coming out of medical school are products of this technological age.  There is no stopping it.


'Tis the season for fresh asparagus, steamed or roasted, or spinach sauteed with garlic. Yum! nm

send one
I definately without a doubt would send one.  Just to let them know that you look forward to working with them, etc., etc. 
98.8% but that I send 30% to QA...sm
and THIS was while I started a HUGE new account/hospital and I was on FULL QA/QC at the time......so yeah, EVERYTHING on that 3rd account was going to QA/QC for a couple of months (thousands of dictators there). 
I cannot send more than 5% to QA or...
They decrease my cpl rate!  It does not matter that my quality is above 98.5-99% always.  And spelling names phonetically is NOT an option. 
What does it mean when you send

of a VERY difficult dictator... yet you get no QA back... I left at least 7-8 blanks and have not gotten any corrections back from QA (which is the usual process) for me to look over and listen back over report. Does it mean that they don't know either? I notice this happens to me quite a bit when I get something difficult and am anxious to get QA back to see what I can learn.


I could send my boy over LOL sm
but I don't know where you live. Seriously, though, they may just be garters, harmless. I would let nature takes its course and they will go away on their own. Or, scoop them up in a bucket with a broom or hoe and take them somewhere where they will be safe. I just removed a blue racer from his sunny spot in the yard last week. I got him in a bucket and put him on the other side of the hill. He can tan over there.
Send them my way too, would you?

Although I live on a canal and it may not be as uptown as living on a river or a lake,it's still waterfront and I do a lot of fishing as well so I'd be interested in seeing them too.


Thanks, Cathy, a/k/a Catfish Cathy


 


Send it
Good letter!!!  If you are not joking I would send the sucker. 
send it to everyone but ...
I say everyone send it to Glenn Beck at me@Glennbeck.com - that is his email. I do not agree with a lot of what he says, but this is a topic I know he would pick up - just have to get past the editors - if they get enough e-mails, and let them know it came from the MTs on MTStars with numerous MTs who feel the same, they can do their own research and get it on. One voice is not enough, ALL of the MTs and ALL MT companies who call themselves American must stop dealing with off shore companies and off shore individuals and these morons who do conferences like this - and not for nothing - Hilton too - how dare they take money for a conference regarding this topic be held.
Send
dog poo in the mail?

A big box. Don't be stingy.

Kidding.
not so much, no, I only send more to QA
and then my line count drops drastically, from 1300 to 1400 lines/day to 700 to 1000. It is not getting better but worse, my paycheck from week to week is taking a nose dive.

Thanks but I like to be compensated for what I do in money, not just by being liked or something because I will do difficult reports. Where is the compensation in that? I get absolutely nothing for it except more shut-off notices.
Hey, then... why don't we just send THEM all

If that is what they want, send it to them.
They are paying your bills.

I would let them know about security levels though.
Could you send me a pm so I can
contact her later on, maybe down the line?
