It's down to Kaysar and Janelle.
:}
Kaysar, Janelle, Marcellus, Marvin, Will
/
well being more anti-eric or cappy, i would prefer kaysar to come back but not to win.
I really would like Howie to win as he is the most entertaining. So cute and so funny.
Big Brother fans. Looks like Jennifer double crossed Kaysar. Sorry but Kaysar is dumb as a rock
Maybe he should be voted out AGAIN!  Stupid is as stupid does.   Bye-bye Kaysar. 
At least Janelle won HOH!
I think they voted unanimously cuz the other team had all the votes so there was no point in peeving someone off and be next to go. But hey, JANELLE won HOH! Revenge is MINE, sayether Janelle...
Janelle
I don't think the word class is a word I would ever use in the same sentence when talking about Janelle. I agree that Howie was fun to watch, I just didn't want him to win it. Wow, I can't believe anyone thinks Janelle is bright.
I miss Janelle!
Darn Maggie and Yvette! Janelle deserved to win Big Brother 6, IMHO. She was the best. Hate what's left of the "Nerd Herd."
but Janelle did take her left hand off the hook
DENYING that she took her hand off the hook on the volcano.  She most certainly did and the ENTIRE audience viewing at home saw that.  I hope Julie Chen shows Janelle all the footage of that. 
The View today has Janelle,Erika,Boogie..NM

Kaysar, Kaysar, KAYSAR
x
What do you think about Kaysar being put up?
I am so bummed.  America just sent him back into the house.  I can't believe he let Jen have HOH.  I guess that will teach him to be nice.  Anyone think there is a chance Janelle will get voted out?  Why doesn't anyone this season keep their word?
As much as I luv Kaysar,,,, sm
He asked for it, I died when he let go of that button!!  I knew it was coming.   Basically, these people are idiots, they should have still gotten rid of James, because he is a "stronger" competetive player.   Kaysar is VERY smart, but not as hard to beat in competitions as James.    Kaysar did this to himself this time, sad to say.   And why can't they keep their word... these people know they are playing for a million bucks.  Jen still has her partner.   I think she was trying to show that she was not afraid to stir the pot.    
Kaysar never should have let someone else have HOH
especially on his first week back from a 9-1 eviction...and this time its UNINAMOUS? What's that all about??? KAYSAR certainly should have known better than to trust his fate to someone else the first week back. Shame on him.
I voted for Kaysar also.
There is something wrong with all those people who are hooked on Eric in the house-like a cult or something.  I didn't think there was anything special about him-in fact I thought he was rather bossy and daddy-like, trying to tell everyone what to do.  I like Kaysar and I don't really think he was going to hit Ivette or anything, she basically acused him of some harsh things and sort of came at him like a man would so he reacted like a man and she deserved it I thought. 
I hope it is Kaysar.
I voted for Kaysar at my 6-year-old's insistence. I really like him, too, though. You are right the whole thing with Eric is a little off. As far as that thing with Ivette, I don't think he was going to hit her. And just because she is female doesn't mean it is okay for her to get in people's faces and talk the way she does.

I don't know what the allure is of this show. I am so glad they added this twist bringing somebody back.

I hope James doesn't win HOH!!!
Kaysar with 82% of the VOTE!!! Yes!!! nm
.
She is not backdooring Kaysar
She is still backdooring James, she just didn't hold her word in putting up two of her own pawns.
I voted for Kaysar too--way cute!!!..nm
nm
Petition to keep Kaysar, please sign. sm

Jenn lied to Kaysar to get HOH and now she's trying to backdoor him.
:{
Poor Kaysar...and Beau is a bad drunk!
I felt so sorry for Kaysar last night - that @!## Jennifer and her backstabbing! And BEAU - Wow. He does not hold his liquor well, does he? That entire HOUSE is nutso now - they are soooo hateful!
I voted for Kaysar...but didn't like how he was ready to clobber (SM)
Ivette once...sorta gave me the chills. I liked Kaysar the best out of the three though. It should be interesting tonight.

:)
Kaysar has a brain and Eric doesn't. 82%! That's a whole lot of people who think different
Eric has short guy syndrome.
if Erika doesn't take Janelle - Erika is

So happy Janelle voted off Wil and happier that Erika made headway with Janelle and that I think Erika now knows that Boogie played her.  I hope Janelle wins as she is the far better competitor of the 2 women left and she plays hard.


GO JANELLE!!!


With short arms, I need chair with shallow seat, good back support and high back. Want arm rests
:+
OK! I'm glad you're back down here. Now don't go back up there and read those evil posts ag
Okay? But I have to leave you now, sadly. Thousands of noble dictating doctors are anxiously awaiting my help with their "dictations"....They're all loading up on chips, drinking lots of soda so they can burp, and then have to go to the bathroom...You know the routine! Off I go to earn some pennies!! But, truly, I am thankful that I have a job!
PS.. It apparently worked..I heard back and already submitted the paperwork back.

I'm not sure how many people they are hiring but you shouldn't stress too hard over it. Do the best you can.


I would not do them back to back - I have done 2 and 3 jobs at the same time -- all PT - sm
It is possible to do of course but you will burn out fast. Now I do one almost FT (about 30 hours a week) and the other is about 8-10 hours a week-- I still get beat doing that and that is w/o set hours. I find that the older I get the harder it is to work late and I am only 40! But a mid afternoon 30-minute cat nap helps a lot in order to keep going on busy days.
How do you set your computer back 1 day. I messed something up and need to go back 1 day.
NM
Yes, you get back to work now. Go back to
some routine, and it does start to hurt less. I know  And remember, she is still there at work with you. Always will be. I figure at this point I have a whole herd of loved dogs under my desk each day - along with a couple horses, hamsters, parakeets, rabbits...If only I could see them - must be quite a happy zoo! But I know they are all there I sense their love.
Can't anyway. Just get them back. sm

I actually tried to dump a report today, which I never do, because it somehow got into my pool in error (not my area of expertise), but it jumped right back up at me after the next report.  So I decided to just do it.  I don't know how well I did, but I did it.  It was over 150 lines long and took me forever.  Lo and behold, 5 reports later, same guy, same type of report 145 lines. Second time around was easier and faster though.  The way I see it is that if I get negative feedback, I'll let them know that those kind of reports really shouldn't come my way.


But cherry picking for line count is just plain wrong.


I did, but then I came back to it.

The other jobs I took involved quite a bit of computer use, too.  I got tired of the office politics and other garbage, so I'm doing MT again.  Now, I prop my keyboard up with a block of wood, although you can use a telescoping keyboard drawer/shelf to do the same thing.  I have a habit of letting my wrists rest on the keyboard, so I had to modify it to get my hands into the proper position.  It might have helped if I had taken piano lessons.  LOL  The only time my wrists ache now is if I work too much, which has been the case lately.  I don't know if it would be helpful for you to try.  I've been doing data entry or some form of computer input work for 17 years now, so I'm hoping carpal tunnel or repetitive motion injury isn't definitely in my future.


Going WAY back here
It's been a long time and I'm not "up" on the lingo, but by reformatting, do you mean you re-indexed?

I would go into whatever function that is where you can re-index all files or functions and do that.

If you still have problems, it might be that a file has been corrupted somewhere. That happened to me on that program a couple times. I'm not sure if it was the dictionary, but something somewhere stopped working right and I had to reload the entire program.

Be SURE to back up your autokeys immediately just in case you have to reinstall the program.


Can I get back to you about this later?

WAY BACK WHEN
It used to be that we were treated as valued employees, treated with dignity, and actually felt like the higher-ups gave a damn about us.  Length of service meant something and those who were dependable never had to worry about running out of work.  I knew I would be taken care of.  Never did we get cheap plastic crap as a Christmas present - we got real, thoughtful presents to show their appreciation for the hard work that they knew we did.  It's pretty much like night and day - nobody gives a damn anymore about us.  It used to be the only thing I knew I could depend on to be stable in my life was my job.  Not anymore. 
Yes, they could pay us better back then
because they weren't paying 2 people for one job (speaking of QA here). If you weren't a good, accurate transcriptionist, you didn't have a job.
Way back
I never heard the word at the time. It was fabulous! No turnaround time. I could shop all day and work all night. The service I worked for told me she wished she had 10 of me! Nice? Christmas parties and $100 bonuses! Flowers when a relative died. It was fun!
I think I might even go back further...
I recall using white-out and yellow-out for carbon copies (the REAL carbon copies) which had to be corrected separately. OH my... but I'm afraid I don't miss all that at all! LOL. I think it was okay to use the white-out until a couple years later, or maybe 10? Yeah, I'm old.

And 8 or 9 books? Did they even make that many back then? I can recall having a PDR and a word book that was separated into specialities. Oh, and the surgical word book. It was red. I am visualizing it now.

My form of research was more like finding the chart and going from there. Ah, but that was before production. Remember those days?

I wish I could remember the name of the first word processor I used. It was a mess!! More trouble than it was worth, but on the cutting edge of technology... and I was there!!

And here I am now, an MT dinosaur, getting ready to start using ASR...

Yeah, DixieDew, we have come a long way.

But miss it? Do you remember the noise those Selectrics made? And I complain sometimes because I can't stand the clicking of the keyboard when I have barely audible dictations.

One more thing... and please tell me if you miss this... "Standard" reports that you had to copy type instead of just having them appear on your screen with a few keystrokes. I used to HATE standard reports to the point of tears!

Okay, my ranting and reminiscing is done for now.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. :)
Come back
That Alice was bad, bad, bad. Are you and "her" coming back tonight though?
I will back you up too

I was told the same about two years ago by recruiter in Midwest.  She did not give specifics, but basically said that the full time employees would get priority if the work was low. 


 


I wish they would come back!
No doubt Zipper, Chucky, MQLOVER, and Frankie Boy made this board alive - I would rather laugh in hysterics with their words than to listen to the same ol, same ol'!

By the way, admin confirmed it was not the same person posing as all of them!
You never go back
Truly - once you make the switch, it is absolutely impossible to switch back to a standard. Give yourself a couple of days is all.
I know .....been there....won't go back.
A person can only take so much hurt ......I keep my distance now. Family can hurt you the most because you love them the most. For me, it is easier and less hurtful to pull back and keep my distance. The less I know, the better off I am.

My children and I always were disregarded in a similar manner. We just see some family members on holidays. I tell my kids, mommy and daddy will always remember you and give you gifts...not to look elsewhere for them.

Be proud of your sons..they are real gentleman and not materialistic. It hurts, but guess what, they will be stronger for it.

Hugs and more hugs to you!
Yep, I would back off..
When she's 18, nothing you can do about it anyway. There are lots more important issues at this time of her life, and she sounds like a good kid! My 18-year-old graduated last year, and as soon as he did, he dyed his shoulder-length brown hair completely white and started dressing in all black. It never amounted to anything but an outward appearance, and he's a good kid, too! So try to keep it in if you can, Mom!
BACK-UP
I have a complete back up system of everything I use, computer, transcribers, foot pedal, etc.  When I buy a new one I keep the older one for back up.  Buy a new computer every three years.  It has come in handy when things happen as without them I make no money.  Also have a place I can go and work should I be without power.  That is just me. 
Back at Ya
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to you also.

Better back then
Made way better back then. All used gross line count. Worked for smaller, friendlier services, had better dictators, thoroughly enjoyed work. Made approximately $50,000-$60,000 a year back then. Some days now even hate to touch it because of the way it has become.
going back...
As the other 2 posters said, finishing the dictation and then going back to listen to the blanks works best for me. Most of the time I can hear it then. If I'm really get uptight and frustrated with the job, I'll walk away for a minute or two and come back - sometimes just a "mini break" is all it takes.
really going back
remember the old belts before they even had cassettes? 1967-68 or thereabouts?
How far back do MT's actually go? sm

I have a 1936 medical dictionary that the hospital I used to work at was going to throw  out. It's leather bound, but the cover is missing. There is actually a section on using leeches for medical treatment.


Think about it. How far back does MT go? The docs used to write notes and then they had the nurses write the notes, but how far back does the first actual typewritten MT report go?  Did they hire someone to type while they talked to them. Someone posted below about an MT that sat in on autopsies to type the findings. Hmmmmm. Interesting.


The old doc I used to work for (with the typewriter) was from the old school and always did handwritten notes until the insurance companies required them either printed or typed. He reluctantly hired a Transcriptionist but this was in the mid-1980's and he was still grumbling about paying someone to type what he could write when I worked there in 1994.


I say run and run now!! Do not look back!
They pretend they are so great to work for, but then lie about pay and screw you over in so many other ways. PLease do not go there!!
