I think it'll be Make-you-own night. I don't feel like cooking either. (nm)

Usually I just have coffee. Sometimes I'll have oatmeal. Today, DH is cooking again!
We're having breakfast "hash" with scrambled eggs, ham, hash browns, cheese, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and red pepper in one skillet.  Whole wheat toast and chipotle Tabasco.
Make my own. Cooking's a hobby.
I'd almost like to be a caterer or chef, but I don't like working evenings or weekends.  LOL
Almost Gobbler Day. Who is cooking and who is going out to dinner? Myself cooking. (sm)

We usually have everyone bring a dish of some sorts.  Large family, probably about 30 plus.  Set up 3 extra tables in the garage for smokers and cardplayers and have a great day stuffing ourselves. 


Looking for different side dishes, suggestions anyone?


It'll change your production from night to day!

Good girl Laurie...now you'll have a nice night
and the evil doers can spread their evil elsewhere!
You will definitely make more than $9 and do try it PT at night just to see if you like doing it
before you give up our other job. I did that, left an office, and never looked back. I make an average of $20-25 also and quit a job where I made $15.50, and at the time, I thought it was great money but now I realize I can make more at home and not have to deal with office politics, high gas prices, clothes etc.. its worth giving a try.. you might like it. I never missed having people in my face all day.. but if you like the social part of getting out, being at home will get to you.
sorry.. should be Make-YOUR-own night..... Loonnggg day....

lol cut myself off. Anyway, I'll make close to what I used to make with MQ,
ddd
The only way I'd make what a man wanted for dinner every night....
......would be if that man made $200,000 or more a year and I didn't have to work, period. ; )
Sounds great! I may make that tomorrow night.

What diff does it make if it is one during the day or at night? Your computer should be protected

Use a timer and limit yourself, you'll feel much better

Call the cops on the suckerbill and THEY'LL know. I feel for you. nm

This might not make you feel better, but...
I certainly feel your pain. I do 20 to 90-minute reports for psychology. Saturday, my dictator got through about 15 minutes before he realized that the patient he had been describing as a woman was actually a man. He'd even said her "husband" when describing the home life. I had to go back and change she to he, her to him, hers to his, and all the husband info to that of a wife instead! Yes, the patient's name was unisex and it's easy to get mixed up on the first couple of lines, but to describe the spouse and not catch it before then?! I guess he recalled the visual on the mental status exam. LOL
I'm sure this won't make you feel any better, but...
I make $35-$40 an hour. All of my business has come to me through word of mouth because, apparently, the quality of my work speaks for itself. I set the rate, do the work, and go to the bank. It works very well for me and as well as for anyone who is skilled and willing to work.
You make me feel better..

I have been feeling bad the past couple days about making my sister upset. They think I am too down on their son, which is WAY off mark.   I am down with the way they have given him this gift (car), and how he takes it for granted, and how THEY cannot see that.   They bought it brand spanking new, and he had it trashed the first few weeks with cigarette stink, never cleaning it, etc.  They would drop little hints about how he should maintain it....  but they hate conflict so there you go.  By calling this a gift and allowing him to do whatever he choses with it is merely them taking the easy way out.  My sister has not  had to earn a dime in the past 25 years.  Perhaps she does not realize how things like a new car should be EARNED not given... she does not know the value of a dollar.  Okay, I better stop.


 


maybe it would make you feel better if
everyone contributed a funny story about the mistakes they've made.  I have one - this one is actually something my aunt did just recently, and she's also been in the business for about 20 years.  Instead of "foramen ovale," she sent it in as "foraminal valley" - just had a brain freeze - everybody does it!!
Can she join a mom's discussion group or exercise where they have childcare? She'll feel bette

don't let her make you feel guilty
Kids these days think they are entitled to everything handed to them.  So and so has this or that and lot's of kids brag and lie.  Just stick to your guns.  Mine used to tell me that things had changed since I was a teen but not really, i bought my flinstone mobile from my brother for 50 bucks...holes in the floorboards and all.
I just don't think it's necessary for you to try to make someone feel stupid. There was no ot

purpose for your post other than to make the original poster feel stupid.


I don't think it's necessary to treat people this way.  So why don't you take your keyboard and stick it somewhere for safekeeping until you feel a little nicer. 


All MTSOs try to make you feel it is only you

Good for you. Did it make you feel better?

It ain't worth it - you'll make about
$11.00 an hour and no bennies.  After 25 years of doing this people are still making crappy money!
Try this recipe. I think I'll make it myself! :) sm

If you feel you need to be seen at ER, go. It will just make your case stronger. nm

do computers make you feel sick?
hey, i was just wondering if any of you transcriptionists dread spending so much time on the computer. Do any of you get headaches, or other discomforts from the EMFS or the chemcials outgassed from the computer?

I have a blog where I post info about outgassed chemicals from computers. if you get bad feelings from computers It might be because of the outgassed flame retardants and other chemicals.

Don't worry about what you have to pay an accountant. You'll make it up

With that attitude, you'll never make money in
slack when his checks are small.  Sorry you can't seem to do it.  Maybe you should get one of those "every other jobs" where you start off making the equivalent of 15 to 18 cpl in MT.  Let me know when you find it.
These threads always make me feel inadequate... I'm not about to post...

"Uh, I dunno.. I'l sling the freezer open at 6 oclock and toss some fish sticks and french fries on a cookie sheet and slice up some fruit."


Seems like everybody is so gourmet....


make that garlic bread and it'll be perfect

Angry? Maybe make your own life better and you'll be surprised
Losers blame other people.

Successful people take responsibility for their own lives.
When they set you up, just make a little chart of what all the Ctl keys do and you'll be fine. Th

Oh please, somebody tried to make me feel guilty for leaving a horrible job using this same line.
How much $$ it cost to train ME.  Like I should feel sorry for the company who basically misled me every step of the way regarding hiring, training, accounts, etc., etc. The job was a horrible fit, and I stayed way longer out of guilt. Not worth it! Conditions are deplorable enough for the MTs right now - we don't need to now assume responsibility for how much or how little a company spends to train us. PLEASE!! 
I definitely feel like we are dealing with the same person! I think I need to make some phone calls
and put a stop to her!  I cannot stand the idea that she is out there still scamming people like she scammed me!
Did it make you feel edgie or have any nervousness or heart palpitations?

Just staring at the computer screen can make me feel drugged after 9 hours.

This post made you defensive, just like those e-mail nastygrams make us feel.

so find a different profession where you'll make more money - plain and simple. nm

dinner tonight? I'm having fried chicken and macaroni & cheese. I'll make sure it's a whi
I have my cholesterol checked! 
I've been told, "Work harder and faster, and you'll make more." Not kidding. nm

I saw HOWIE last night on a late night episode of Blind Date. too funny.
I'm thinking if they are smart they'll boot Rachel.  I think she's really smart and a good player.  I don't think Howie is all that smart or able to be a winner.  I think this could force Howie to hook up with James to go for the final 2.
Well, since he does most of the cooking..
Maybe let him make their dinner and you make yours! That's what I would do. I would not give up my meals for two spoiled rotten kids ;)
cooking in crock pot right now
Either beef stew meat OR a chuck, whatever.  One can cream of celery, one can cream of mushroom and one can french onion.  Don't have do do a thing.  Delicious
I'm cooking. Daughter and son-in-law,
son, husband and myself will be spending Thanksgiving together (after my son and I get off work).
Yes, and I'm the one cooking the turkey
Don't think my guests would appreciate a "tofu turkey". I will do the whole traditional meal and those who choose not to eat the turkey will still have plenty.
How do you get rid of cooking smells?

I've about had it with cooking any beef or pork at all.  Even cooking with hot oil.


I cannot get the lingering odors out.  I wash the pots and pans, put up the leftovers immediately, clean the stove and all surfaces but it just lingers.


Does anyone have a solution?


Ever try cooking a meal in someone else's kitchen? sm
You know how to cook, but have a tough time finding where everything is kept in that kitchen so it takes a while longer.  You could cook the same thing in your own familiar kitchen in half the time.  This goes for MT, too.  It takes a long time, even for those of us who have been transcribing half our lives, to get used to new formats, new work type codes, new voices, and learning idiosyncrasies for each and every dictator.  It takes time--a few months or more.  Be patient, and the line counts will surely add up as you become more familiar with the account.
