No surprise companies have the upper hand....sm
With a law that says an employer can "fire at will"...I have a hard time thinking the unfairness is NOT supposed to be that way. I could bore you with my past experience but I won't..lets just say after 28 years working in one hospital,an employee file with every yearly evaluation saying "exceeds standards"..the number that was done on me by an HIM director who i later was to learn found out I knew she was "playing doctor" with one of our married OB/GYN physicians and must have felt a bit threatened by that... is a story straight out of a "Fatal Attraction" spoof. On seeing my file in the end.. there was entry after entry of documentation that was literally untrue and fabricated.... when asking a lawyer what I could do.. the answer was nothing... they can fire at will... Some employers... and more specifically HIM directors...are bad people too...

I've used Hand-Eze and Thergonomic Hand Aids. sm
They help with the carpal tunnel and keep hands warm for me. They cover the hand and wrist but leave the fingers free. I wear them inside out, though, because the seams rub on the skin too much for me. I've gotten so used to them, that it is more comfortable wearing them while typing than typing with nothing on.
Don't talk about hand, I still remember the one that got her hand chewed up by her pet rat....

had nightmares for 2 days after that.



Who knows what frank has in mind to oppress MTs and further line his pockets.

It can't be good.  MQ has a lot of law suits pending and huge attorney fees.  They also had to become honest in their billing methods with government scrutiny.  They can also ship to India.  MQ will find a way to jerk American MTs around.  Why?  Because they can and will.


yeah, and our elected leaders are lining their pockets--sm
with our hardearned money, and making millions off the war monger toys like tanks, etc in Irag war...why do you think they don't want to stop the war...I had actually heard him say that another year of war in Iraq would produce another 1.3 million in his pocket as he owns company that produces this equipment. we suffer, and he wins, laughing all the way to the bank. geez people, open your eyes to the actual cause of all of this. He also approves off shoring for jobs, thinking it will democratize other countries. He is trying to change the world by our suffering. Keep it home, and fix our own problems before you give millions to other countries. sheesh. sorry...just venting.
Besides, that donation is squarely out of MTs' pockets. I haven't had a raise in the 3 years

Upper and lower lid blepharoplasty.

Was setting up a surveillance camera because I am a single woman who lives alone. 


 


 As I was programming it, I could a glimpse of myself and nearly fell off the chair!   I loook old and tired (47). 


Have been so busy and so stressed for the last six months, I haven't really taken care of myself.  I just joined gym, quit smoking, am cleaning up my act.


But, nothing is going to take the bags away from my eyes.  Am thinking of plastic surgery.  If anyone has had this done, can you tell me whether it was worth the money to you?


As you know, I am far from rich but have few bills other than the general overhead (no credit cards).


thanks!  I work very hard and it would be a gift to myself.


Upper back pain

In the past I have had the same problem, but I found that when I lowered my chair it was greatly improved.  It seems I can type faster with my chair higher, but when I lower my chair I have much less pain.  It is something to do with the angle in which my arms are..  When they are pretty much level with the keyboard that is a great improvement in the pain, although I have to sacrifice a little bit of speed it is well worth it.  I also use a split keyboard which also seems to make an improvement in my pain.  I have been at this work for 30 years and believe me I have had pain in all parts of my body related to sitting in this chair in the same position for many hours at a time.  I wish you well.


 


neck and upper back sm
Swimming helps some. Massage definitely helps. I have asked the massage therapist just to focus on my neck and upper back and to work deeply. Rates for massage depend on where you live. I pay about $60 for an hour. Sometimes you can get a half hour. Definitely ask for what you want with massage, and give feedback about what feels helpful. A chiropractor has helped and a strong vibrator has helped. Good luck! I know the pain.
You are welcome. Good things are just around the corner.

I have been where you are now.  It is not fun, it is very upsetting and frustrating, but things will come your way soon.  There are many accounts out there, you just need to find the right ones. All you need is one, and the rest will come by "word of mouth". 


My advice is to just call and ask if they made a decision and if it is not you, then just thank them for their time and ask if it is okay if you check back with them periodically to see how things are going.


Good luck to you.

Ergonomics for upper back pain?

I have been having tremendous problems with upper back pain right between my shoulder blades and up into my neck and right shoulder for weeks now.  It makes typing just miserable.


Doc said I had brachial plexopathy, and gave me narcotics and told me to quit transcription.  Since that isn't an option -- any ideas as to how to keep from getting this excruciating pain after an hour of typing?  It goes away on weekends when I don't sit at the computer, so I'm sure it's largely related to my positioning.  I've tried to fix my posture, but sitting up completely straight hurts worse than slouching.


Share any stretches, techniques for arm positioning, etc.  I will be extremely grateful.


 


Thanks!


Ergonomics for upper back pain
I find that it helps to get up and do a few stretch exercises. I have a 3-minute workout and microbreaks pamphlet that my husband got from his work that shows and explains some exercises including neck and back stretches. It does help when you get stiff from sitting and typing for so long. If you want me to type it up for you, just let me know and I will.

neck/upper back problems
Anyone else out there with neck and upper back problems.  I am having problems with neck spasms and it makes my head feel funny with pain into my jaw etc.  Another downfall to our jobs I guess.    Any tips from anyone that has had these and gotten relief would be much appreciated I do not like taking muscle relaxers. 
I have consistently made in the upper $40s to mid $50s in this business.
I have not been chained to the computer. I have even worked just 3 days a week to make that. Long days, mind you, but still only 3 days a week.

I have a talent and great aptitude for this work. I also am fiercely protective of my work time/environment. I work very hard while I'm working. Thus, I do not have to work more than 40 hours a week.

Sit in disbelief all you want. Just remember, you are the one not making the money while many of us are.

Baking soda, opened and on its side, in every corner

On your start up icon tray (right lower corner) there is
an icon that looks like a green arrow pointing down.  If you click once on that, your transnet status box pops back up.
Life's full of situations where you're backed into a corner
a winner thinks outside the box and takes a chance rather than be ASSURED of a life-time of misery.

You're the type of people who live in the same town their whole life even when there are no jobs and complain that they're unemployed.

Complacency will get you nowhere, neither will whining about having no money when there are other options but you refuse to look into them.

Your employer may be partially responsible for the trouble in your life right now but the only person keeping you in this mess is you.
