It sounds to me like she needs to talk with the principal or school board.

In Reply to: DD is a 1st grade teacher, and is ready to throw in the towel - venting for my daughter

The school CERTAINLY should have rules about this kind of thing. I don't remember my parents coming to school unless there was a problem. Other than that, unless the teacher requests help with a party or something special, the parents don't belong there and the school should step up for your daughter.

I was always told (old school doc talk here)

The doc's "words of wisdom" were that a small child's body knows when to rid itself of whatever it needs to get rid of and if you give a small child something like Pepto Bismol to try and stop the vomiting, you are only preventing them from ridding their systems of what they need to get rid of.  Makes sense.


Do look for signs of dehydration. Otherwise, get him a bowl and clean up the excess.


Hope he feels better.


Talk to the school about providing....sm
child care. Most colleges have this available for working parents. Then you can tell your husband that you've got it all arranged and he can either decide to be "human" about it or continue being a jerk. Also remind him that he had no problem providing the sperm to create ever how many kids you have so he should be willing to take care of them.

Would you give me 5 minutes alone with him? I'd straighten his keister out quickly! :o)
NO WAY is this a geezer board - the way you all talk on here about

the ShortHand programs, keyboard functions, etc. etc. I would say this is more like a geek board.  I don't understand half of what you all are saying. LOL


Is this the same message board that did not want to talk about
Take this to Pressure Valve is an idea. Or create a new board "Roe vs Wade" or "Why Young People do Dumb Things."
That's all my principal would let us have
when I was a child. We begged for swings, but he said they were too dangerous. To show him dangerous, we would periodically fall from the moneybars and crack open our heads. :oD

But the real dangers are 4-wheelers and other motorized vehicles. Kids shouldn't be able to go that fast with so much power. It's asking for trouble, and I type reports on those injuries all the time. Parents were complaining to a doc about their son's crushed ankle. He told them they should be grateful - next accident he had would be fatal.
Sounds like a school question to me.
Except it is worded more like a demand, LOL.
POLL: Home School vs. Charter School vs. Public School vs. Priv ate School...
Pros and cons of each too. I have two little ones that will be starting school soon and I would like opinions on all. Thanks in advance! :)
I remember all that, too. The parents rarely, if ever, questioned the teacher or the principal.

I wonder what the change is?  Do we parents have egos because now most of us have as much education as teachers do?  Are we unwilling to sit back and never question "authority figures"?  Do we remember being wronged in our own childhoods, so we're quick to defend?


I try not to be a buttinsky at my kids' schools, but sometimes I just don't agree with how they're doing things there.  One day, three bigger boys with bad home lives and a history of fighting jumped my son, who is the most peaceful kid you've ever met.  Two of them held him down while the third one was on top of him punching and kicking him.  My son had to bite the kids to get them off of him.  He was cut, bruised, and had a bloody nose.  Guess who got punished?  My son did, for biting.  I called the cops and intervened at the school because my son has my full permission to defend himself against bullies, especially on a 3-on-1 situation.


I also remember being punished for things at school when I did nothing wrong, then my parents punished me a second time because of what the teacher said.  I got detention for sneezing in class once.  One of my teachers publicly humiliated me and threatened to pull me out of all the advanced classes if I didn't publicly apologize to another teacher when I wasn't even the one who said whatever it was she was upset about.  One of my male teachers actually picked up a student and slammed him into the chalkboard, ripping the kid's shirt off in the process.  So yes, I'm going to stay on the schools and make sure my kids aren't hassled by any burnt out teachers who are just biding their time until retirement.  My kids aren't angels, but they're not demon spawn either.


foreign med school gradutes take separate board exams..nm
which are different than American med school grads. There was an article in The NY Times indicating that new regulations are being pushed that would require foreign med school graduates to take a two-part board exam to practice medicine here, with one part of the exam being English proficiency. Hmmm..that should be interesting. I don't think you have all of your facts straight.
I am, but by the sounds of things on this board
I'm beginning to wonder if I just got luck.  Been with them for almost a year and absolutely no problems.
From the sounds of things on this board

Even if you are an employee for a company, they can't guarantee work.  The work comes from the dictating arena.  The MTSO doesn't have any control over that!!!  LOL


I know this sounds harsh and probably will get slammed by this board, but I would tell him that if
he does not check into a formal rehab program that you are going to call Social Services and have them check about having his children removed.  These kids are too young to be in the situation of "taking care of daddy," and there could potentially be serious consequences.  There could also be more serious complications with his head injury that may be surfacing along with his drinking.
with such great documentation, it sounds to me like you should be able to call the labor board
or at least unemployment...it is something you really should consider. there are civil service jobs, if you do not want to work at home, and you can get help finding a job that way.

this is what is needed when going to the labor board so they get a clear-cut look at what is happening in this business.

just because it saves a buck, should not mean employees should be able to be treated like dirt...

you have been pushed out of your job, sounds like, and that at least qualifies for unemployment.

believe me, any other job you find out there will be almost the same, but you could collect some money while you look for something with the same pay, am I correct?

SE or not, too, you have lost YOUR LIVELIHOOD. what do people think, like okay you have no way to make a living now...
Eewwww... you don't talk like an MT, you talk like mangement. Ick. (n/m)
:p
I did that with 2 kids with time mgmt and a high school girl who babysat 3 days a week after school

The cost of running a private school or any school is expensive....
Why do you think public schools are so run down and can't find good teachers?  Because the government and people to not put forth the effort or $$$$ to improve the educational system.
The School of Hard Knocks is the best MT school

cherrypicking co-worker issue (meant to post it on this board instead of MQ board) sm...

I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies.  Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...



We have one cherrypicker on the account.  Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course.  She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad. 



But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time.  I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.



What would you all do?  I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account.  In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.


My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....


Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&
Now go ahead and post your reply - I know you're dyin' to!

What is the Main Board for? All general topics seem to get moved to the new gab board.

wrong board - rules are pls use WORD board

I meant to say Job-Seekers Board, not Company Board.
No mssg.
We met in high school. My high school sweetheart
introduced us in a discussion over Ford versus Chevy versus Dodge. I used to race my Dodge Coronet with oldstyle 318 V-8 engine against the guys on the back roads and old highways. High school boyfriend had a Chevy truck. DH had a Ford Fairlane and later an AMC Javelin that just made me swoon. We didn't actually start dating until three years later, and my old high school boyfriend was a bit surprised at that since he introduced us.
When I go to New MT/Students board I am taken to the Abbreviations board. NM

Can someone talk to me?

I'm really depressed and need someone; no religious stuff, though.


At what point should one give up one's children if you feel you aren't giving them  a good life?


I will talk to you.
I will talk to you. Why do you feel your children are not getting what they deserve from you? Would you like to chat on the chat line? It would be easier to carry on a conversation. I know the one constant in life is that things are always changing, so what is making you depressed now could change at any time. Let's talk.
Talk to you.
I think to give up a child so that it can have a better life takes a lot of love. I don't think anyone does this to be mean or selfish. It's the most unselfish thing a person can do. Is this your child? How old?
Doc's talk to me
I do about 15 doctor's and I have at least 10 that do talk to me. Only one is a griper, the rest are real friendly and always tell me nice things, plus call me by name, which is a + in my book.
need a pep talk
I am feeling so rotten about myself and my MTing abilities today.  I got an E-mail from quality control about several errors in a report and complaints from that particular hospital on this one report.  Apparently, I had put she in several spots that should have been he.  I also did not fill out the demographics screen.  I guess I am getting ahead of myself with this produce, produce, produce thing.  I suppose it is time to slow down.  Anyone else had a slap on the wrist and felt horrible and then just feel so unsure of yourself that you just feel like you need to put the keyboard up for a while? 
So what do YOU want to talk about?

You should talk about it with them.
Why do families act like idiots after a death regarding the items left behind?
Let's Talk
I've been in this business since 1981.  For many years I felt it was the greatest opportunity I could have ever had with a high school education only. I was trained on-the-job by a teaching hospital.  You know what I mean, the money-making career without the college.  Well, that worked out all and well until a few years ago (or maybe more, I was busy having kids and lost track of my mind...lol) when I noticed that suddenly companies were trying to rip off transcriptionists.  And I don't mean a few, I mean MOST.  In trying to look for a job with benefits, because I got divorced, I was thinking to myself, what the heck happened.....and was also thinking, surely these are just transcriptionists who have been burned.  NOT SO.  The medical Transcriptionist has been lost....we are made to feel as secretaries, time wardens, ESL experts, etc.  I am totally  baffled by it.  BECAUSE, we are professionals, we really are.  How many people do you know could sit down and do what we do?  It is specialized, it should be treated as a profession, yet company after company is offering not much more than 8 cpl.  HELLO???  Are you kidding me???  I should just go get a job at McDonald's.....I am serious, I am so furious right now I can't see straight.  This is pitiful.  I now am truly sorry I even ever entered the transcription profession.  Let's all walk away and see where they are then!!!  Okay, thanks for the vent. I AM SO FRUSTRATED. 
Just talk with them
They have probably had to set up other people, I would call and talk with the person that asked me if I was looking for more work and explain to them that you have usually just been on the other end and what you have that you are working with now, am assuming you have the pedal and you download from your large service, well if they are digital then they will just upload and you will go on some site and download your files.  But don't let this opportunity get away from you as when they need someone usually the first warm body that comes through the door is the one that they grab if they can do a half way decent job.  But call and ask questions and do the research on what they are currently doing now.  Good luck, let us know how it goes. 
Need to talk to tax guy to see what U can/cant
n
you should probably talk to her,
given the HIPPA laws and what if somehow this ever goes to court (that would be my luck) and you actually have to go? Gone are the days when I typed my own path report because there wasn't anyone else to do it! and my own chest x-ray and mammogram, H&P and op note!
Seeing I talk back to sm
dictators, I'd probably just scream FU back at the computer screen.
You talk about QA being arrogant, BUT
You post all the time and it is very visible how much you are actually arrogant. You have such a terrible attitude and nasty mouth. Even as the abbreviation you used it is uncalled for. Your opinion is NOT the only one that matters. You are one person i would just LOVE to meet in person. I would be the first to put you in your place right then and there!
