If you wouldn't do/say it in front of your spouse, it's wrong.

If it's something you wouldn't do with your spouse
x
I wouldn't spell it wrong.
I would ask for verification of where he is getting Pegesis and note where you are getting your spelling.  I constantly have doctors spell *Moh's* procedure and have had to argue with some of them when they insist I spell it wrong. 
Wrong - if you had gone to college you wouldn't be having this conversation.
Ever consider that maybe your lack of ambition is the problem and that your own set of choices have put you in a position you're not happy with? Of course not. It's always someone else's fault.
Try the front jack on the front of the CPU if it has one- or on the
it if is not pushed in all the way, sound will only be in one ear.
wrong, wrong, wrong. work is being outsourced because of $. period. not because of unqualified MTs

Spouse's job???

What does everyone's husband/wife do for a living?  Who makes more money?  I know I am being nosy, just curious though. 


I work fulltime


Husband is starting an online travel company (which I will definitely let you all know when it is ready so you can book some vacations!!!!)  He has been working probably 12 total hours a day with that (day and night).  He quit a very high profile job so he could do something from home to be with the kiddies more. 


 


I obviously am making more money as of right now, but hopefully will be able to retire once his business soars!!!!


What spouse???? sm
I am IT and I am raising 2 kids alone on what I make. It would be nice to have a spouse to help with the expenses and to be able to afford some of the luxuries of life, but that's not in the cards for me, at least not for the foreseeable future. :-(
Spouse's job

My hubby definitely makes more than me. He is also self-employed tri-axle truck on road construction.  works anywhere from 5 to 6 days a week, 8-10 hours a day.


I work a full time, part time plus 3 accounts of my own, 10-12 hours a day, 7 days a week and I earn in 2 weeks equals a little more than days pay for him. I'm thinking about joining him iin that business.


Is there truly a way to get your spouse to....sm
really help out around the house?  I am young, lower 30s, and my husband is too.  He is on disability due to a mental health issue that is totally controlled with medication.  The problem is he does not help out around the house without me begging or getting mad and then it is just the basics.  We are supposed to go to counseling tomorrow, but I feel it is not going to help.  Another issue is he is not clean like he used to be.  He does not make an effort in his appearance, does not get cleaned up hardly ever, etc.  This has impacted my feelings for him a lot and I hate that it has.  Sometimes I feel like I am trapped in a place where I don't want to be.  When we had first gotten together I could not imagine my life without him.  I thought about him all day, couldn't wait to be around him, etc.  Now, it is the same 'ole, same 'ole.  We have only been married 5 years.  We do have a small child and that is the main reason I think I am staying.  I have told him time and time again that this is pushing me away, but still nothing changes.  I bust my butt every day trying to work and even pick up.  I do all of the laundry, do all of the bills, do all of the cooking and most of the cleaning. After all of this, our house is still a disaster area.  I am tired.  But I want that love back - just unsure if I can ever get it back again.  Any advice?
Spouse's job???
My spouse is a QA tech at a meat packing plant. He hates it, too. Has to work in a freezer. We think we got it bad.
maybe have your spouse or

someone else read you the questions to make sure you understand them. another MT would be great since he/she would know if you're getting the gist of the question.


The written part's always been the easy part for me. It's the transcription I fret about, often making things wrong that I had right. It's hard, but I'm learning not to second guess myself so much and am doing much better. What's funny is I always make 98% or better with my current company - been there 10 years. Just nerves I guess.


You've never been upset with your spouse
and didn't have anyone around to vent to in real life?  Besides, it's said that marriage without conflict likely involves a lack of deep or meaningful communication.  Research has also proven that couples without conflict are more likely to divorce because there's no passion or growth.
spouse abuse

Yes, I have talked to the police, but he was married before and living in NC and I believe he may have a record there.  He is a real slick one.  He put scratches all over himself to try and make it look like I hit him.   I have never had anyone do this before and he is a sick individual.  I am sure he has had prior incidences. 


We were only married for 6 months.  I refuse to let anyone hit me, no matter how much I love them.   


Thanks for your concern. 


Spouse abuse

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a way to find out if someone has a previous record of spousal abuse. 


My husband hit me and I cant afford a lawyer but make too much money for Legal Aid.  I want to do this on my own.  I just need to know if there is a way to find out this information from a different state.  Are these files open to the public?  Or does a lawyer have to request these things?


 


Thanks so much for your help!.


Yes, but being with a spouse who does those things
doesn't justify the other spouse's emotional infidelity.
If you have a spouse who is an employee have
extra $$ taken out of his/her check for your taxes.   I am not an IC, but my company is in a state that has no state taxes and so they do not pay my state taxes.   The first year I paid a penalty (about $60) for not having enough taxes taken out, so I just figured out what they would be, divided them per the number of paychecks and had that much extra taken out.   We've always gotten a heft federal return, but usually paid at least half of that in state taxes.   This is the first full year that we've had extra taken from DH check and I'm anxious to see how it all works out.
It wouldn't load with my Office. Somehow it wouldn't "read" my 2003 Basic, although sm
technical couldn't find anything wrong with my software. They really tried hard. I see so many people that like Escription, I'm sorry not to be able to use it. Hopefully I can get Office Pro on my next machine, and maybe use it then. I could upgrade, but I'm still not sure it would work.
If I expect perfection from my spouse, that must mean
I am perfect myself.  I don't know of anyone who is perfect.  I am not so judgmental of people that I expect them to never have bad days and never express frustration, or else the relationship is over.  I'm sure there have been plenty of days in the past 20 years that we've known each other when I've annoyed him to no end.  Sometimes intentionally....  LOL
One gift per wedding per spouse.

You do not have to buy a gift for this and that and the other.  ONE GIFT.  No more.  Oh, and you have a full year from the official date of the wedding to get them something.


Shoot, I cut my brother off after his third wedding (to three different women).  I'm not buying him any more wedding presents ever.  LOL  Especially, now that he's on his third divorce.


Refer to the Spouse Equity Act

You are entitled to coverage for 18 months...some of these responses just floor me!


Health insurance for me and spouse..how much? sm
I would like to get a general idea of how much I will have to fork out for health insurance for me and my spouse.  I've always been an IC and am looking to switch to employee status for benefits.  How much in general do you pay?
Every time I transcribe someone who has lost their spouse...(Sm)

or other family member and is having a hard time getting through it, my heart just sinks and I feel so bad for them.  It is amazing the empathy we can feel for people we don't know.  This pt is having a hard time today because it is the one-year anniversary of her father's and sister's death.  How very sad.


Wouldn't that mean that you simply wouldn't have to print out everything?

I typed a report on the wrong patient as the doc keyed in the wrong info, SM
He later said the correct patient's name and I SWEAR to this day I made the changes but somehow the report when through without the correct patient and changes made. I still remember that incident.
Be up front

I'd be up front with them and just flat out tell them that you'd rather they didn't contact your current employer.  Most companies understand that.  Offer plenty of references so they have a way to gauge your work.


Your name sounds familiar.  You wouldn't happen to have a husband named Mikkos, would you?


Are you sure there are none on the front? sm
I have a Dell desktop, and I have 2 additional USBs on the front of the tower.
If you can put a in front of it, it is followup..sm
For example he had a followup visit scheduled. OR He is to come in for followup in 2 weeks.

He will follow up in 2 weeks. OR

He is going to follow up with me in 2 weeks.

Hope that helps
One foot in front of the the other sm.
Oh honey please run don't walk, right out that door.  This man you live with is only in your life to beat you down with discouragement and lies.  Please do not allow this to continue.  You were created by one who counted the hairs on your head, is the God of the universe but he knows you by name.  He did not make you for destruction but for good.  Please take your children away from a person who would put them down, call them names and does not care one bit about their well being.  Begin to look at yourself for the wonderful, divinely created queen that you are, you have purpose and potential and this man is only there to keep you from seeing it.  The day you walk out the door and shut it a ton of weight is going to fall off your shoulders as you will begin to realize that he does not love you, he does not love anyone but himself.  You have to show your kids that you love them too much to let anybody (even their own father) treat them as less than great.  You are a woman and deserve to be cherished, protected and provided for, anything less is not acceptable.  Please go and as you do please know that myself and I am sure many other people out here are praying for you and lifting you up.  We stand in the gap for you!!  Now go girl and don't you dare look back.  Go and be fabulous!!
I agree, but front-end AVR and EMR will
the work bring back to the US, with a minimal number of MTs.
Fantasia wrong??? Haven't seen the OP's CD, couldn't have been too wrong.

I have a cat who dashes in front of my feet
I'm thinking of using one of my dogs squeaky toys to get his attention when he cuts me off again, that will show him!
that was going to be 'question them up-front' and see how they respond..(nm)
xx
Our cat (yes we have a zoo) plops on my desk right in front of me - sm
usually on my note pad or a patient list, makes it interesting too. But she doesn't usually stay long, and if the dogs are in she hides ---her and the Husky are mortal enemies, granted it does not help that he tried to eat/kill her a couple weeks go-- our signals got crossed and my husband let the dogs in before I could up up the gates to ensure her safety. Luckily I was right there and was able to grab the dog before anything really bad happened. So my husband learned an important lesson that day...communicate with me when you let the dogs in, or put up the gates first.
Had a drive-by shooting right in front of my
home office window in July. Unfortunately, a baby got shot in the head. I thought it was someone setting off cherry bombs or something - the pops were too close together I thought for gunfire. It was 2 girls and a stroller and they didn't even realize the baby had been shot at first. It was a big howdy-do. The cops were out here for hours, blocking off the streets so they could look for shell casings. A couple of news trucks too, although the subsequent TV news reports were somewhat inaccurate regarding the location and details. Never found out what happened to the baby.

Anyway, right after this happened, the guy and teenager kid across the street stayed away from their house for about 2 weeks after, coming by periodically to check on the mail. The cops would occasionally call on the house during that time. I never did find out what the deal was and if there was connection between these people and the shooting, but I always worry about a gang thing or a home invasion thing and they get the wrong house (mine).
OK. Now there are construction guys out front
using a big saw to cut through our new concrete sidewalks that have already been dug up twice since being put in this spring.  I can't hear to work.  They didn't even warn us of any construction or water shutoffs.  How many times do they have to dig up the same old spot this year before they get it right?
One of those would be cool for my front porch. sm
I think I would leave it up all year and decorate it for the different seasons and leave it on all night.  I used to know a lady a long time ago, giving away my age here, who had one and had it all decorated with crystal glass ornaments and red garland. I liked it but my mother said it looked like a tin can.
How did they get past the front desk and
where was security when they didn't take no for an answer the first time?  Having worked in a psych facility (which has a higher level of patient confidentially) and tyring to be "forced" into giving information not able to be given, it became natural to just say no.  NO ONE on my watch got the first hint of information they were not entitled to.  People may want information but getting it is something different.
front tooth not sure about $$ but expect....nm

You are talking about front-end VR. Not very good.
Slow learning process for the rec engine. Very tedious.
There are signs all over our hospitals right from the front

You don't need a macro. Just add a semicolon in front of
your yo abbreviation so autocorrect will back up and take out that space. Then type 34;yo and it will expand to 34-year-old.
Sorry, don't have it in front of me, only have #2 and wait to hear from others, sorry, not sure!
I haven't sprung for #3 yet, I found #2 confusing enough, just do verbatim. I may have misspoken.
Front-end/back-end systems...

"Front-end" SR means that the original dictator's speech is turned into text. "Back-end" SR means that someone listens to the original dictator, redictating and "cleaning up" the original dication.  This "sanitized" redictation is then fed into the SR engine. 


The main disadvantage of "front-end" systems in the healthcare setting is that they must try to adapt to the speech peculiarities of many different dictators, whereas a "back-end" system only has to deal with the speech patterns of one dictator, namely the person who does the redictation.


Back-end dictation adds a layer of human intelligence to the conversion of speech to text because the person redictating presumably catches errors, eliminates hesitations and miscues, squares up ambiguous sentence structures, etc. - things that front-end dictation cannot do or does very poorly.  As such, while the back-end speech engine might still cause some errors that require keyboard correction, there should not be nearly as many as front-end systems produce.  And, a back-end SR application can be less sophisticated than a front-end system because it is not being required to deal with so many vagaries of human speech.  In fact, a back-end SR application does not need artificial intelligence at all, whereas front-end SR really does.

Geez, this was on the front page of my paper - sm
I couldn't believe it as I had just read your post.  Never think it happens close to home but you never know, do you?
Wow, just saw on the front page of my paper the same story. SM
The ex-husband was from Bernville, PA, which is about 20 minutes from me. What a psycho. Those poor little girls. You know what, people just should not trust anyone these days and never ever allow them to be put in such a situation. And that means making sure you never go anywhere alone with someone. Of course, that wasnt much alone considering they were in a public place. I dont know. The world is just sick. I personally am looking forward to the end of it to be honest. There are jsut too many people suffering these days.
ocean front property in Arizona, too??
are ya a little bit country - haha -- gotta love George Strait!! i'm with ya all the way on those proposals!!
I prefer office by front of house
Since I am female and live alone, I want to see if any activity takes place. Everyone else on my street other than a retired gentlmen who is frail is gone for the work day. Mostly, I see people putting flyers on the door for carpet shampooing or Jehovah's Witnesses. I don't think I am considered hateful, just not friendly. It is okay, I have enough friends lol
Mine is a Super Wal-Mart too! They are usually up front near the
Request them, they are just about the best of any store! They roast them in the back where the deli meats and cheeses are.
