I've been crying all morning and can't stop (sm)
what's the matter with these lousy companies.  They have poor work and want us to produce a quality document....this job is really sucking anymore!
Gooshy chewer!
That is gross!
You've been trying to say doctor envy on the company board all morning?
No wonder you get flamed.  You think people don't like other posters because they might be a doctor?   You been posting all morning and now this afternoon and you are concerned about work ethic?  Sorry Charlie your post and your actions make NO SENSE. 
Morning baby, morning adult. Kids born at 11:30AM (both) are night owls, however. Go figure! :) nm

Outsourcing topic on Good Morning America this morning....

Ok, maybe I should just stay in bed LOL How about "every morning" not everyone morning. Wow. C

Someone help me, I am stuck in
a new resident hell. This is my fifth chart in a row from the same lady and not one chart has been under 35 minutes or more than 100 lines. They are ER charts. It would not be so bad if she spoke a little faster but she spells out e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g and tells me where to put every comma, period and paragraph.
Maybe not stuck

Raquel, you can borrow up to $30,000 per year as an undergraduate to get through college; I know that you could get through in 3 if you aren't working another job. If you go into an area with a real shortage of teachers (usually math, science) then you might be able to get some assistance with paying your loans back.


Just thought I'd throw that out in case you start feeling locked in.  There are actually a lot of 2-year degrees that you can get that pay more than teaching with a 4-year degree.


So who gets stuck with that $200,000
every time there is a complaint about a HIPAA violation?

Does have HIPAA have teeth or not?


How did you do it? I'm stuck..
I've tried all of the above and then some, have AVG free, and still can't get rid of this virus.  HELP PLEASE!!
At least we have stuck to our names
and people know who we are unlike most posters on this board who change their name on every single post! I guess they like to be easily forgotten.
Just S.O.S. (Stuck on Stupid!)

Anyone else still stuck with dialup?

Hello MTs


Is anyone else out there still stuck with dialup?  I am getting so frustrated with the long loading times.  I live in a rural area, and I cannot get DSL or cable.  Anyone have any other alternatives to slow internet?


Thanks.


Lynn


I usually get stuck on the easy ones....lol
For some reason, I get stuck on random words that I type over and over on a daily basis. I'll type the word, and even though it may be correct, for some reason it doesn't look right to me. I'll have to stop and study it for a minute before going on. LOL It's then that I know I need to take a break!
Stuck at 600-800 lines a day.

I am not a fast typer.  I usually get 600 to 800 lines a day, but I need to double that to pay the bills.  Not sure what my problem is.  I have Expanders and add to them everyday.  I do not have the same doctors all day so maybe that is the problem.  Any thoughts or tips would be very appreciated.  Thanks


 


and most of them have cellphones stuck in their ears. nm

He dd NOT give them preference. THEY are stuck TOO
My cousin and 3 of her friends are stuck there. If he gave preferential treatment. THEY WOULD BE HOME instead of US worrying about them and not hearing ANYTHING from them.

By the way. They also called ahead before they left here Friday and asked their hotel if it was safe or should they cancel and rebook later. They were told to come on. They would be safe, this was nothing to worry about.

I have read that OTHER tourists were told the same thing when THEY called ahead before the hurricane to see if they should cancel and reschedule.

Get off your high horse and DONT comment on things you know NOTHING ABOUT!
I'm emotionally and financially stuck

I'm wanting to buy a house. I have 3 kids, 1, 2, and 16. I live with my Not-So-Darling-BF, 2 youngest are his. I have a purchase offer on this house and can get financing. The payment is 200 more than I wanted to spend. House is 5 years old, in town, right by my 16 y/o school. I have CC debt (about 9500), a student loan, a couple other small (less than 1000 bills).


I posted my dilemna on MSN Money message board. They all think I should rent, pay off debt, get a roommate, that I should build my emergency fund, save for the house, blah, blah.


Obviously I'm an MT, make 42k a year with 3 parttime MT jobs, one going full-time hopefully in the next year, and child support from 16 y/o which I will lose if she does not continue school after graduating.


I may have a renter, my brother, who would be good for about $350 a month, incl. heat, etc.


I feel so emotionally drained. My "BF" can be prone to violence, never hurting me or kids, but breaking the "house", he thinks he is "Mr. Wonderful" and always has that attitude...I could go on..I wanted to leave at 3 months of knowing him but got pregnant...to make a long story short...and I stayed "cause of the kids."


I'm not sure why I'm posting but I feel my next step is the psych ward. Financially I guess I can't leave and emotionally I can't stay as I'm going nuts.


I need advice or words of encouragment or something, anything....


Emotionally and financially stuck. Please sm.
No, you're not stuck. You obviously need to get away from the Not-So-Darling-BF. If he's breaking up stuff in the house, sooner or later he'll pop somebody. Okay?

You are earning money and I agree that you probably should purchase a place of your own. Right now, however, does not seem the time. Now is the time to set up a place of your own per rent and get yourself, your family, and your finances together. I know this is not what you want to hear, but it's the truth. Please do not take offense.

You need to gather yourself, so to speak, and you cannot do that with a mortgage you cannot afford alone hanging over your head. You'll just be headed for disaster, shorting yourself, your children, and your work.

Again, please don't take this the wrong way. I would simply hate like he$$ t see you make the same mistake that I've seen numerous times already.

The first step is to get out of there and set up your own place, not brother's or anyone else's, but yours. You have a family to support. If you choose to go it alone, then alone you should go. The second is to make the BF pay child support. Get that lined up and if he is dependable, you can figure it into your budget. And lastly, once you have your finances configured, you can then decide what you can afford for your family as a home. Comfortably.

No offense intended here and again, I hope you do not take any of this the wrong way. It's just the smart thing to do, especially when you have three children to think of.

Good luck. :)
Maybe you have some goo or a paperclip stuck in your keyboard.
Try pulling off your R and 4 keys and cleaning it out.  (Or maybe you suffer as I do with stubby finger syndrome!  LOL  My pinkies don't reach the top two rows.)
Told 18 and 14 y-os, $400-$500 per each one and have stuck to it. Will spend about $300 on DH. nm
:+
But the paper would be stuck to the floor. . .

because someone spilled Kool Aid and didn't bother to wipe it up.


Red Kool Aid.


Glad you stuck to your guns!

Anyone ever get a pill stuck in their throat?
I took an ibuprofen capsule on Wednesday morning (for a sore throat I'd had for a week, rapid strep neg).  The first one went down but the other one seemed to stick. It's still there and I just can't get it to go. It's not really down in the throat...it seems to be higher than that. It's making my throat hurt down to the collarbone and up to the ears. I can get it to move around some, but it just won't go down. I don't know whether I should call me regular doctor, go to urgent care, just wait for it to go down or what?
I am stuck going full time because
that's all the university offered. They said if I didn't want to go full time then get out of line because 933 other people wanted my spot. I have a small MTSO right now and so am able to just parcel out work and do a little QA each week. I already had an Associate's of Science which transferred to the U, and then I had to do pre-req of Nutrition, Developmental Psych and Organic Chem (and after I did organic chem, over the summer no less, they dropped it as a pre-req grrrrrrr). This fall is my third semester, I will finish after my fifth semester though I want to go on to get a master's as a nurse practitioner....another 2.5 years  **sigh**
Stuck adding dictionary
  I've downloaded Stedmans 6.0 to Word (program files) and am attempting to add the dictionary for spell check.  I can locate the file but when I try to add a file name, I get hung up.  I'm sure the problem lies in the file name, either the original download or my efforts to add the dic.  I would very much appreciate an assist, pulling my hair out.  TIA - I have googled extensively and followed the instructions but I am missing something here.
Why is that some are still stuck in the year 2008?? LOL

Although I'm currently stuck with my offshoring MTSO,
I'd much rather do straight typing..
If it's Dictaphone or Philips, you're stuck
If the unit is Dictaphone or Philips and has a proprietary headset with weird prongs rather than a standard RCA plug like you can use with a Discman, then there is no adapter.  Those companies want you to have to buy your headset from them or their authorized vendors.  I've been through it with both.  It's not enough that you've paid big bucks for the unit, they want every last cent they can get, including for the headset.
Keyboard text stuck "on"
I hope someone can help me.  I was trying to print the computer screen and for some reason could not and my husband came to "help" me and somehow he got the desktop text that normally shows up under the desktop icons to be stuck in the "on" position.  Does anyone know how to turn them off?  My husband does not even know what he did to get them that way.  We never were able to print the screen.  If anyone can tell me how to turn off these desktop texts, please let me know.  Just in case this helps, I have Windows XP PRO and a Microsoft erganomic keyboard.  Thank you all in advance.
two days, had hunch should leave within a few hours but stuck it out. LOL

Never eat it. Hate food on my face and stuck in my teeth, esp. in public! Gross either way. nm

I use EXText with my current job and I've used at a couple of other jobs I've had. I've ne

used DocQscribe, but I have used Meditech, Cerner, Vianeta, the Precyse platform (I can't remember the name), Dolbey, and  Lanier platform I think was called Cequence (?). 


Out of all the different platforms I have typed on, I have liked EXText the best.  In my opinion, it's very user friendly, easy to learn, and I really like ESP which is the built in abbreviation expander.  Plus it is very easy to create your own normals which I love.  My fingers literally never leave the keyboard because there are macro keys for everything.  You can use your mouse if you prefer or learn the function macros.  I love it.  I think I'm more productive on EXText than with any other platform.


I can here this morning
For the first time. I don't know who you are and who you are lashing out at but YOU need help.
Got her in this morning, thanks. NM

Doing 60 lph this morning so far. : (
I get up every day with a positive attitude, and start typing away.  Same BAD dictators, skipping all around in reports, and some areas garbled beyond recognition.  I'm just venting, but it is so hard to keep going on day after day like this, making no money and being frustrated beyond belief.  It takes so many hours just to make 1000 lines like this.  ARGH~!!!!!!
I did everything this morning between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM.

 Now I am sitting here after having had a tea party with DD, decided to check out the boards, and will hopefully have some more work in a bit.  I always end up getting my line count by the end of the day, but when I'm in "the zone", it is frustrating to have to wait for work to come in. 


I got up this morning and...
called my Daddy to tell him what I did.  I am crying again, but these are tears of empowerment and true joy.  I put my music on, rather than that darn TV that he was addicted to and my children are dancing.  DANCING!  We were opposites on so many levels and had nothing in common.  He has no more control and I am sooooo okay for the first time maybe ever.  I feel so strong with all of you behind me.  Your words I will cherish forever.  God Bless All of You!  More updates to come...            
Did you see GMA this morning....sm
story about working at home as a customer service rep.... anyone not happy with job/and or income should check it out. 
a pot a day...in the morning though
Couldn't go without it!
Your morning
ROFL! That darn gravity! I always told my kids that if there was no arterial spurting or bones protruding through the skin, get ready for school.
Then why were there 152 on this morning?
And 57 on in the middle of the night? Honestly people...can you really be this suspicious of the entire world?
GOOD MORNING!

Let's here some positive thoughts for the day, okay?  I like my job (Not love because I'd rather not have to work at all)!  I have worked at some nice offices and not so nice offices but this is the best.  My own! (Finally finished office after adding on 4 years ago)  Sure, I have bad days when I really don't feel like working or the phone rings 100 times a day or DH or kids need this or that every 5 minutes but for the most part where could I work with no one breathing down my neck or I can get up and get a drink of water or go to the bathroom without having to tell someone that I'm doing it and still get paid twice I would be making if I was still in-house.


Come on!  Let's here positive things and encourage each other today!  (I am not slamming any complainers because I am one also, just want some positive input today)


I love this board!


Our prices went from $2.55 to $2.99 this morning. nm

I heard about this on CNN this morning, however
The employer deducts it on their taxes to charity and the employee has lower income, hence not paying taxes on that amount.
I do sometimes but usually do the lunches in the morning -sm
I now start earlier, i.e. 6:30/6:45 and have it all done by 7, (was stressed myself last year) get the shoes on, hair brushed, kids fed, teeth brushed by 7:20 then do our 6-mile drive to the bus stop. Can be rushed some, but now not so nuts and better organized this year. Just give yourself an extra 15 minutes and pre-do all the stuff you can the night before, i.e. potato/corn chip bags, crispy bars, whatever. Makes it much smoother.
When I got up this morning I saw the words
"bodies found" and had to rub my eyes to see if I was dreaming. 
"There's got to be a morning after. . .
Poseidon Adventure, 1972. Great movie. Great actress.
Can I cry on your shoulders this morning?

My husband is gone until spring with his company about 5 hours away from home. Not too far but far enough where I can't see him often. In fact, he left Jan1 and haven't seen in since. No big deal - 14 days.


He is staying in a nice hotel with company car, perks, etc. He doesn't have a boss, but they have him working 13 days straight and then one day off and he is working his tail off. He calls me every night, and we trust each other 110%. We have 2 boys - 2 and 4.  I am basically going nuts over here with them but that is a different subject.


 


So I got this grand idea last night that in the morning (today) I would drive and come see him, he has tomorrow off, and then I would leave early Tues to come back home. No big deal. The kids could watch DVD, etc. I am very, very independent and can do this with my eyes closed.  I've always traveled by myself, etc., because of my background, and he's the type who is ultra-conservative, worried about traffic, safety, etc. Which is irritating because yes, there are risks involved when traveling. I have a new vehicle, great tires, great gas mileage, a cell phone, money, and street smarts. What the h*** is the big deal? He calls me this morning when the boys and I are ready to go to tell me, "don't come."


Do you know how upset I am? I am very upset.  He won't be back until April or so and he doesn't want to see us????? He can't leave the area, so we have to come and see him.  Yet, because he's so darn cautious and conservative (always has been that way), we have to suffer by staying here and basically I have done nothing but work extra and take care of 2 kids who really miss their dad.


I am upset.  I am all packed up and ready to go with no where to go.  He did say I could possibly come down later, as in a few weeks later, when the area is not as congested (he's near the gulf of Mexico where hurricane hit, but in a city that was not devastated so there are hotels and restaurants, etc). But to be honest, I'm not going to waste my time or energy on him if he doesn't want to see us. I am not going through this again in 2 weeks. He can just forget it.


I'm usually very mature, but I am so pissed right now and I don't really care. He doesn't want to see us today, then I guess he and his ultra safety self can wait until he comes home in April.


40 this morning, now about 65 and sunny

did anyone get to see the job posting for 5.5 cpl this morning?
