I want Taylor to win so badly!!!! He even looked adorable in that awful jacket he had on for his first song. Can't wait to hear his last song--on the edge of my seat. Breathe, breathe, breathe. I think I may hyperventilate!

Don't need hand holding.
I don't expect them to hold my hand, but it would be nice if they at least pretended to be somewhat human! Compassion for another person's loss only takes a second to respond to.... as you said in your post. It only took a second right? Most of the time I am with you, I would rather NOT hear from them. But of course I sent an e-mail to tell her that I would be out for the funeral, she could have replied with a condolence. That's all I am saying. I think that's a bit of a problem with the world in general these days, no one even seems to have time to be kind.  Thank you for your second to respond and give your condolence on my loss!
your holding the title!
First of all, I am sorry for your loss.
Second, how can he even say anything is owed since you have the title in your hand?
Hope it all works out for the best.

Article on IRS holding refunds - sm
Any one ever have trouble with this? It seems like every year they come up with some excuse to hold our refund....usually for 5 weeks past when it was due to be paid. One time it was because they could not find my SE tax payments, they were looking under DH's SS#, not mine (really brillant there, 2 #s on the tax return but only check the main one); last year some trumped up thing about his ex-wife owing taxes and they wanted to make sure he was not liable (they had been divorced for 12 years at that point, and we had been married for 8), in-between these 2 excuses there was another one, though I cannot remember what it was now, in all cases except for last year they held our refund up for 5 or so weeks, last year it was supposed to be held for 3 weeks though they ended up holding it up only for about 10 days which surprised me quite a bit. For some reason we get put on this "black list" every year, drives me nuts. I have been audited 2 x too, though it was an internal audit at their end, all they did was send a bill, for which I knew I was at fault as I had failed to report some stuff my dad had in my name and he just would never get me the info I needed so I filed anyway without it, but it was relatively painless, though I wonder if that past error is now going to forever haunt me. Anyone else have fun with tax time?
Surprised they aren't holding it in India.
Why not?
Thank you - I think I have a bit to learn about shorthand - how about holding your bolded words when

I would not be holding press conferences criticizing the government I want to help me find my
daughter nor offending the citizens of the country I wanted to support me. She has clearly lost her mind and needs a spokesperson and she should vent to her husband not the world, although her vents and concerns are unfounded according to their attorney and the prosecuters. They did not have EVIDENCE to keep these brothers. No EVIDENCE. What part of this doesn't Mrs. Twitty get.
When we would do xrays, would have techs holding in position and talking to soothe and quiet them.

No.. breath the same air you say!

Don't hold your breath
Never has for anyone I know anyway (myself included)
Take a deep breath
and go in and be completely honest about the situation. Perhaps asking your boss for a little help with a note about how important you are on the job, blah, blah, might help if possible. I don't think all is lost - a jurist who is so worried about work that she/he cannot concentrate on the matter at hand is not really helpful to the system. If you get to the place where you are questioned, you may be asked if there is anything that would influence how you might interpret the case, or some other question that may open the door for an honest statement about the situation. Also, if there is a good reason (other than plain old procrastination) why you did not respond to the JD notice earlier, you should absolutely pursue this avenue as well. Good luck.
Again...you are a breath of fresh air
A breath of fresh air. Thank you.
Now, no more odors from the mushroom house, please.
Take a deep breath
An apology would be nice, but for now, isn't it obvious (and enough) that she knows she messed up? You know it, she knows it, she knows you know it, & you know she knows it.
You may never get a flat-out apology, but who cares? She did the next best thing, considering she was probably pretty embarrassed. Not everyone is able to articulate remorse at the same moment they are feeling humiliated. Maybe later, or not. Move on.
Breath of fresh air?
Working under these circumstances will not give you time to breathe!
You probably shouldn't waste your breath
You are so right.
How one finds themselves in a desperate situation like this is irrelevant.
I just can't help but think people who have the mentality of the poster to whom you responded are the same who claim to be Christians and Right-To-Lifers. I guess you only have the right to live if you're in the womb and not a sinner.
These people were totally disregarded as human. Make your bed mentality, have versus have not mentality, and as the poster below said, plantation mentality.
Yes, he was out of breath - could hardly get words out - it was disgusting

yeah, shall we hold our breath? *lol*..sm
it said there - they would be choosing only TWO winners.....*lol* - we probably were NOT the first two to do the test, eh? *giggles*
You are welcome - you are like a breath of fresh,unpolluted air! (nm)

I just take a deep breath and get through it. I have a high
percentage of ESL dictators, though most are very good. I have one American born dictator who is horrendous and he will dictate 15+ minute reports and yawns all the way through them, but he keeps dictating as he is yawning. He also can't figure out what to say and just keeps dictating so trying to figure out what is good dictation and what isn't is a job. If I have him first thing it can ruin my whole day, so I have just gotten where I take a deep breath, tell myself I have to get through it to go to the next one and it usually goes quickly once I adjust my attitude.
Hayseed, take a deep breath...
You've just reached the boiling point. How have you put up with this as long as you have? Yes, you'll still have your job. I think some companies like to see how far they can push someone, and the more you do, the more they want you to do. But they do not want to lose a great employee such as you.
I seldom post here but I always look for your posts because you're entertaining and enlightening. That may not mean much to you right now but I know you're going to get a lot of responses saying the same thing.
So take that deep breath. If necessary, maybe send a more calmly worded email to your boss stating things much as you did in your post here, especially the 2nd paragraph. It's very succinct and gets your points across. Now you hang in there. It's going to be okay.
Take a deep breath and relax!!!!!
You are feeling what every MT feels, newbie, experienced or old-timer. I have been doing MT for 8 years and still crack myself up with some of the mistakes I make. The fact that you are rereading and finding your mistakes is good. In time you will start to not make as many mistakes and your speed will improve. Quality over quanitity was what I was always told. Unless you are working for a company that is pushing you for turnaround time, just relax and you will be fine. If you are working for a company that is pushing for turnaround time and not as worried about quality, I would begin looking for a better company. MTs need time to build their skill and no company can expect you to know everything in only two years of experience.
Heck, in my 8 years, I still look things up, read, re-read and still sometimes have to leave a blank or ask the doc for clarification. That does not make me a bad MI but in most cases a better MT because in this business, we can not afford to guess what the answer is.
God Bless.
you obviously can't type and breath at the same time???

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on their
I have a glitch with mine and waited a month and a half, not wanting to be pushy. This was after I telephoned and spoke with the girl from Textware that posts here sometimes, told her what my problem was and that I had sent an e-mail through their website and not heard back within a few days. She told me to send her the glossary I was having trouble with, and I e-mailed it both as a reply to her, in accordance with her instructions for sending, and also e-mailed again to tech support through my own e-mail provider. Anyway, I finally contacted again and she was going to be out for a couple of days, and though another person did try to help, I have been too busy to mess with it, but was irritated that I was told they did not receive my e-mails (I still have them in my box) and Kristen did not bother to call and let me know they did not receive it, even though I had taken the time to call her and explain my problem after the first unsuccessful e-mail. Sorry, I guess I needed to vent about that . . .
Anyway, if you have your glossaries saved and are sure you won't lose anything, I would uninstall and reinstall if it were me.
Will not hold my breath on being acknowledged for the years
and really I am to the age where I really don’t mind, just the money I make is fine. My hubby works union for a company and has some seniority so that is a good thing, at least does not have to buy his gas nor pay for repairs, etc. on his vehicle. At my present job if the work is down low, I am at a point where now I can take off some and usually do, knowing there are people like me who in the past really needed to work and I defer to their needs. Like I said, been there. One difference I see with these jobs now is in the past we did not run out of work all the time but now these companies do. I would never enter a business like this now because so iffy. Took a while for my training and glad I made living at it but it is not really good now. I probably would have 6 or 7 jobs going now to make what I did with full and part in the past.
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.
Took deep breath, several, now feeling faint!
Just kidding but am getting weary of thinking today. I was wrong at first- all need to underline this- husband says I never say I was wrong but anyway I have Infinity foot pedal, only 1 port to hook up monitor and no other port for my foot pedal. I got splitter today, will not work as had 2 female ends and I need 1 female and 1 male. This might be a repeat but again, old folks do this. Thanks everyone for all you have written, really appreciate all and still searching in case anyone else knows something different.
Got my chuckle for the night, doc talking about breath sounds - sm
and how the lungs were clear, etc. then the next sentence is "the patient is currently not breathing", just funny after the previous sentences on his lung sounds. Also diagnosed at age 2, however the child is only 14 months old, hmmm, nice trick there! Presume he means 2-months but will have to question it though since he did not say!
Possibly your autorecovery file, but I would not hold my breath unless -
you have it set up to do auto saves every few minutes or so. This feature has saved my butt a few times.
I agree. I found him to be very sexy. He'd always take my breath completely away!
