Maybe a compromise?

I was the same way at her age with the makeup and wanting to fit in with my friends. My mother forbade me from shaving, but everyone teased me about my hairy little legs and armpits, so I did it anyways. Mom didn't notice until a few months later. She also didn't want me to wear makeup to school, so I learned about makeup from my girlfriends and bought it with my own money. I got teased over the makeup, too, because it looked horrible. Black eyeliner, blue eyeshadow. Maybe you could get her some "unmakeup" to use? Try the shiny lip glosses with no color and some of the pale nail polish colors. Teach her that makeup is something to enhance your natural beauty instead of replacing it. On the one hand, we don't want our daughters to look like the latest pop stars. On the other hand, being teased by other kids is not a good thing. At least she's not shoplifting "streetwalker" clothes at the mall and changing in the school bathroom. I never did that, but my friends did.

My compromise...
My hubby is also off the next two weeks for plant shutdown for which he gets fully paid but us - we don't work, we don't get paid  ....so I work part-time at MQ and pt at our local hospital at home. My compromise was to take off 2 weeks from our local hospital. I will still work my required part-time shifts at MQ and have every other day off with the family. At least with MQ I can do extra work (if there is any) but getting up early in the a.m. when all the guys are sleeping from staying up all night cause they are on "vacation". I am the only female in a house of 3 males (my hubby, a 16 yo and 14 yo) so I always have to be the "adult". But at least this way he knows to plan stuff together on my time off - oh ya and when I'm working - I booked things for him to do - take the car in for maintenance, take the dog to the vet, etc. Share and share alike  .
May a compromise would be (sm)
To come up with some kind of straight for her normal to compensate for pulling it up and preparing the report with it...if it's totally the same from top to bottom. However, if there is even one change to the normal, then it would convert to your normal line rate.
Here's a compromise for ya! -sm
How 'bout we let the Indian transcriptionists have all the thick-accented, impossible-to-decipher INDIAN DOCTORS to transcribe, and leave the American-born docs (whom they probably have more trouble understanding, anyway) to us?
Sound like a plan?
I think that's a very fair compromise, Sheri. nm

I'm willing to compromise. Is there a company that only includes(sm)
basic patient info in the headers and footers and does not include all of the headings as a template? What I've found is that these two companies have gone from originally just basic patient info in the header footer (which I don't expect to get paid for) to basically making the entire report a template and we're just basically filling in the blanks and hunting and pecking for the headings. This, I feel, is just not right. The excuse being used is that "it saves us from having to type that information." It would actually be quicker for us to type it - even without an Expander - than to be doing it this way.
I do not compromise any patient, just because I am able to do part
someone else couldn’t, oh, well. My work looked at, graded just like anyone elses and I do not go under 98-99. When a post starts coming in they have a child at home, this is a reason why they want to work this to do that, this is where all the posts are coming from saying why are we not taken seriously as professionals. The people on here answer their own questions. Professionals are not employees trying to stay at home babysitting, home schooling, running errands for their friends/families, and the list goes on and on. It comes not from me but from all the others complaining about the fact not taken seriously and your post is same theme. No one should feel bad about the per cent line I get because I have worked for the same place for almost 20 years and the work to me is like taking candy from a baby, so easy so therefore I can really pour on the steam. Icing on the cake, wouldn’t have it any other way.
