Having waitress' say "you guys" every time they approach each and every table.

Posted By: anna on 2006-01-05
In Reply to: CATCH PHRASES ARE "AMAZING" - NOT! - ENOUGH ALREADY!

I still want to know how they really want me to answer when then ask "Are you guys doing okay?" or "How are you guys making out?"  ????  Well my relationship with food is personal I guess!

waitress in a nightclub
not always good money and can be a very, very long day when working all day MT'ing and then schlepping drinks to guys at night.
not a bit homophobic. love queer guys for straight guys.
these guys are clever and witty and have good taste.  they are who they are.  not a problem.  i have problems with boy-men who are currently trendy now.  that's my taste.  and it's kind of scary that women are attracted to these unisex boy-men culturally. no big deal unless you make it one.  this is a board to exchange ideas right?
Come on, guys, its just a smelly old troll! Ignore her! Too much time on her troll hands!!

"you know"
I got a doc who "pauses" by saying "you know" and he's ESL so he's thinking of the next thing he wants to say. Like, yep, I KNOW!

When they tell you that "you need to get out and be around people", tell them... (sm)
they need to mind their own business. I guarantee you won't have any more problems, trust me!
It's "you're" and "an MT"... Maybe YOU don't need
to be on an MT website either! LMAO


By the way...it's "your" money, not "you."

Good English skills you have.


"You can't do that...you need the money." Oh, yeah.
I can't believe a professional would have the audacity to stand there and say that to you. I hope you do feel really good about your decision. It sounds like a wise one.
that should read "you're" not your! lol

I like your approach sm

I think your service adds the "personal touch" which definitely makes you different from other services.   You shouldn't want to be the same as everyone else.


I have studied marketing for years and have learned that the personal touch is often more effective to not only getting an account but keeping an account.   


You're proof that it works! 


 


Joy -> "You're terrible Muriel." :D

Your brother took the right approach...sm
too many docs write a prescription without testing to make sure that a person has the diagnosis to support it. A good doctor will do the testing like you indicated to make sure a patient truly is ADD or ADHD prior to handing out medicine.

Question to the original poster: Are you under extra stress lately? If so, that's probably what is causing you to be scatter brained and learning how to handle stress will be more effective long-term than taking medications.

Good luck to you!
Let me tell you how I approach the visit
If going to a new physician, I have my history and physical and all other information typed out for them. If a return visit, I type out a small list noting the reason for the visit. Mine are short and sweet, first of all because if not written down, hard for me to remember and just makes it easier for perhaps a person who is on their treadmill trying to see all the patients they can and me as I don’t want to spend a lot of time there either. I heard somewhere that after about the first 4 or 5 minutes you are tuned out anyway. Why not simplify for the visit??
While I like this approach, the fact that you
motherly.  I think sometimes MTs feel like it's their parents correcting them.  Would you agree?  Also, I think a lot of us are home MTs nurturing our children, and cannot separate when we are speaking to an adult.  I would prefer no baby talk, but then again this is my interpretation.  You sound very nice, and keep up the positive attitude; however, we're not children being scolded.  We are adults that need guidance once in a while and as you put it a second set of ears.   
Get your own accts. When approach Dr with

Any ideas about how to approach this...

In these tough economic times, any ideas on how to bring up the subject of a salary increase to management without it turning on me in some way?  Is it even worth asking in our industry?  Working for major MTSO for a few years, still making same salary since the beginning, below 10 c/l.  Any little bit would help. Love my job but getting desperate.


That is how I approach my position as QA as well...
not my problem to find missing commas, et cetera...it is my job to listen to the blank, plain and simple...
OMG "You're" geez, QA police/anals r here nm

Ever approach client of national you used to...
work for to offer your IC services for their account...or is that asking for some kind of a lawsuit and headache that you don't want?
Approach homeschooling with knowledge. sm
I have family in California that homeschool their children, and it is wonderful. The mother has an education, sets up great courses, and the support network there is absolutely fantastic. Sports, music, field trips, clubs, they are all available. They couldn't get a better education anywhere, and the socialization is absolutely great.

However, I had to homeschool my son last year for health reasons, and there can be real problems. He is an only child and was left out of all the school social activities. Unfortunately, there is no homeschooling network in my area, the nearest one is 150 miles away, so there were no field trips, sports activities, etc. We live in a small town, and not much is available outside school. It took him 2-3 months to get back into the social swing in high school. Fortunately he is very well adjusted, and turned out fine. Be sure the pieces are in place before you homeschool. Otherwise, you will be the only support your child has, and it can be almost a full-time job, especially if you have to start your own organization. I highly recommend homeschooling if you are in an area to do so. It can be a great experience and children can learn so much faster than in the public school. Good luck.
cost effective approach???

Okay, I am ready to start out with my own "company". I don't want the inconvenience of tapes yet the equipment to setup my own dial-up service is prohibitively expensive.  Does anyone provide cost effective services where I can offer a 800 dial up service?  OR, any rental options? Is anyone using this kind of service?  What does it cost? Thanks. 


I like your approach, straightforward and observant (NM)
Valid question, I agree.
We don't have to approach hospitals we work for;
there are plenty of others out there, and we didn't sign any contracts not to contact them.

We wouldn't need to be talking about specific MTSO's in general, either, but the industry as a whole. And more importantly, about AHDI and all its underhanded little shennanigans.
Jay Vance tried that approach and it died. You have to charge
reasonable membership dues for people to see the seriousness of the action.  Jay Vance charged something like a dollar or something like that and no one took him seriously.  Of course, that was the old days, now he's an AAMT suckup.
The fine-toothed comb approach!
Being right there in the same room is wonderful. How wonderful you were able to be of assistance to a relative too! I will keep everyone posted. I would like some other contractors to post in about what they think should be paid out of 8 cents/line for an OJT. Looking forward to more input!
You could set it up as a table.
Format the box where the information is to be typed with a line as the bottom border.
Table in latin...
There is simply no one prevailing characteristic of Mensa members other than high IQ. There are Mensans for whom Mensa provides a sense of family, and others for whom it is a casual social activity. There have been many marriages made in Mensa, but for many people, it is simply a stimulating opportunity for the mind. Most Mensans have a good sense of humor, and they like to talk. And, usually, they have a lot to say.

Mensans range in age from 4 to 94, but most are between 20 and 60. In education they range from preschoolers to high school dropouts to people with multiple doctorates. There are Mensans on welfare and Mensans who are millionaires. As far as occupations, the range is staggering. Mensa has professors and truck drivers, scientists and firefighters, computer programmers and farmers, artists, military people, musicians, laborers, police officers, glassblowers--the diverse list goes on and on. There are famous Mensans and prize-winning Mensans, but there are many whose names you wouldn't know.

Hmmmm...Doesn't say anything about haughty and high minded!!!
or you can set up your information in a table sm
so that things don't move around. Set each cell's attributes so that the cell size won't change and the information would wrap down to the next line if it needed to.

The information you stated above would be in a table with 2 rows across and 4 columns. Patient name would be one cell, @@ would be the next, dob the next, and@@ the final cell in that row. You can even set each cell to be bold, italic, whatever. Make sense?

Good luck!
ants on the table
I have heard that if you have ants and can't get rid of them you also have termites. Hate to scare you, but you might want to hve it checked out to be sure. I worked for us at one place we lived. Good luck, hope it is nothing bad.

put stuff away (yes under duress) but my husband is probably the worst offender in the family....his mom is a clean freak so he never learned to pick up after himself and feels he should not have to. His clothes would still be in boxes if I had not unpacked them after staring at te boxes for a YEAR in our bedroom...I couldn't take it anymore. He won't part with any clothes either so I will get my revenge by donating about 90% of his shirts since he never wears them anyway. Still working hard to train him, trying to get it through his head that he has to clean up after himself so the kids will follow his example. He does put the dishes in the sink for the most part but they have to get into the dishwasher somehow don't they? Hence elves. What I tend to do is pick up shoes, clothes, general straightening up, etc. I do ask them to pick up if they are around and they actually fight over who gets to mop the floor (they both want to)...they are 7 and 5, so the 7-y/o cleans the bathroom sinks, the 5-y/o picks up the toys mostly. Some days though I do it all, just depends. I use the 3-strikes and you are out rule, if I ask them to do something and they fight me on it or don't do it with repeated requests, they lose said item or priviledge for a month. So far they haven't lost anything but they have come close. Haven't worked out all the kinks but we are getting there.
Yes, they can quit their job, go self-employed or IC, and work under the table.
However, the courts aren't stupid. There is a worksheet the judge does based on the past several years' worth of taxes that XX is the amount this person is capable of making, so therefore XIX is their child support amount. It's legal and binding. There's no changing it by trying to scam the system. It is difficult to enforce but that's why our state has deadbeat parent laws. My friend's ex wound up in jail with liens against all of his property for not paying his child support.

I don't even know the specialty unless it's something I have looked up on my own and made my own notes with it. I think she just added each name as she came across it, and (like me) never had a chance (or maybe no desire) to organize it. So, I've done the same, and as I come across new docs, I add them the same way.

I have the desire to organize but I just don't know how except to go name by name/line by line, and I just don't have that much concentrated time to take away from the actual transcribing.

Thanks for your help/and any more help you might have.
