milk? Blech...sounds gross! Actually, I'm just getting rolling now - my morning - so am having coffee! If I were to have sounded irritated, certainly my irritation would be 100% to the dang fool recruiter who pulled this "faux paus" on the poor woman in the first place. Now, if you want to get me irritated, just get me yamming about recruiters...currently my FAVORITE people in our industry...I can't find the appropriate face-thingie to express pure disdain....How about, PEW!!

You betcha! Sounds great! Though I would prefer warm champagne to warm milk, OK??
I'll be waiting...just honk twice! I'll put Dr. Mumble Mouth on hold, and dash away before he's done chewing and swallowing...
Thank you for the warm welcome!
I will look forward to chatting with you in the future.
Thanks for the warm welcome and the (sm)
warning. I think that is one thing I have learned while surfing the net, trolls exist just about anywhere you go, but my opinion is this site has that very much under control:)
Menopause keeps me warm.
Be a 52-year-old woman and you will have no trouble keeping not only yourself warm, but radiating heat to those around you.
During warm weather I do (sm)
but when it's cold my fingers shrink and my rings start spinning around! That's when they come off.
Warm Hands
Or how about a heated wrist pad for in front of your keyboard?

all they want is a warm body?

I warm my feet.
When my hands are cold, I warm my feet. Not sure why that works, but it does! I have an electric heating pad under my feet (type barefoot or in my socks) and it warms me up. I also have a blanket I crocheted and that helps too.
warm hawaii
it will be my first time living in hawaii-any advice? are you getting your own place out there? I'm in the freeeezing cold smack in the middle of the country right now so I am also looking forward to escaping!
I think it's because it is warm and cozy, like a crate. sm
My first cocker loved it under my desk and you couldn't get her out of there. I won't let my new cocker get in that habit because he won't leave my toes alone. Luckily, the golden thinks it is too hot in my office and seldom joins me. That's fine because he is always panting and that just heats the room up more.
Your welcome, Canada :) You snowbirds keep warm up there.

How is THAT warm water? hmmm? LOL..nm

Keep your hands warm! Even if it means your (s/m)
body temperature feels a little too warm, better that than cold hands. Athletes don't do their thing with cold muscles and joints - if they do they risk injury. Same goes for the muscles and joints in your hands and wrists.
If that fails, I get pretty good relief with Aleve.
LOL Actually, I've got a husband and kids that keep me warm.
They're all "heaters", meaning they get very warm when they sleep.
The beach, anywhere. Warm and sunny and lots of fun!
But, Niagara Falls is always beautiful no matter what time of year. It's actually cheaper to stay there in the winter than the summer.
You gotta pick anywhere where you can just focus on each other and let the world go on without your for a night, a couple days, a weekend, maybe a week (yeah right) whatever.
Cool staff. Thanks for the warm wishes.
Hope everybody here had a good Mother's Day.
Not all have the warm and fuzzy feelings about mentors
I learned transcription inhouse in a hospital when I found out about a person being able to make more than just their salary each week by being fast and that I was. I thought it would be a piece of cake, hey I had worked in hospitals, both adult and children, doctor offices and the like. It took me a year of her training before I was put on incentive. My boss (mentor?) got upset with me 1 time and put me on 3 days work a week when I had been working full so then got a parttime job for those 2 days until the boss lady HAD to ask me to return. Their work was heavy in the first place, but that was what she did. Another time she told me after a person typed over 50 minutes a day (I was the only 1 doing this out of about 6 or 7 transcriptions)that then that person would stop and do paper work. I told her that would not work as it would only apply to me and I would have to go further up about that. Lastly when I left after 7 years working in transcription I had an outgoing evaluation and she put down average (instead of outstanding, superior) for attendance and told her I had not missed 1 single day of the last 3 years and she would have to give me the best mark on that if nothing else. She said she really had not checked her records. I am glad I learned but warm and fuzzy, not here. Reading above noticed you said only 2 more years until retirement. What is that? I am past retirement age now but this Friday am due to start drawing full social security payments. I am so excited and hope to continue working as the money will be twice of what I am making now. Sooooooooo excited.
40 degrees in August? Where do you live? Even Alaska is warm now.

You can proof the yeast by putting it in some warm water...
with a teaspoon of sugar. If it starts to bubble within 10-15 minutes it's still alive. Otherwise, it has died and will not breathe it's bubbles into whatever you are making and you'll get no rising.
Next time you buy yeast, stick it in the freezer. That puts it to sleep, and it will last years. 
Get a cloth damp with warm water and wipe
it, if that doesn't do it, spray a citrus-based cleaner on a cloth and wipe it with that.
I use SoftFlex gloves to keep hands warm, and I have Raynaud's. (nm)

I use golfers gloves..thin and keep my hands warm.

That's what I was thinking, Eat bread or drink something nice and warm to help dissolve.

I have drainage too and a ton of ear wax! YUK! I lavage my ears with a bulb syringe and warm saline
about once a month or they will start to itch something fierce. Nobody tells you about the ear hazards of being an MT, do they? I also have to deal with recurrent bouts of labrynthitis which my doc has said may be a side effect of ear phones in my ears all day long!
We should get hazard pay or worker's comp!
Thank you! Do you know if the missing
girl was alive or not? I sure hope so.
What's missing?
I haven't noticed any that are missing.
Am I missing something?
Where does it say that Amphion is using Interfix to send work overseas? As I read it, Amphion has used this company which HAPPENS to be branching out to Trinidad and Tobago, but I see nothing that connects the two. The statements in bold don't say anything except InterFix has helped Amphion interface more effectively.
Am I missing something here? sm
Employees pay their own taxes just like independent contractors. The only additional tax the IC pays is the employer's 50% portion of FICA which, if I remember correctly, is 7.5%. I fail to see why so many are under the impression that as an employee the employer 'pays' their taxes. I've been an IC for 2 years now and have seen my taxable income decrease due to the numerous deductions I'm eligable for. (We have an accountant do our taxes for us, whose fee is a business expense/tax deduction/overhead item - whatever it's called. That's why I use an accountant!) Lately it seems that many are opting for employee status, which is fine, but I'm not sure that an accurate picture is being given of the ICs gross vs net income.
Missing your dad....
I can't say I know what your going through, because I don't, but I wanted you to know that I read your message and I am so sorry. Do you have any grief counseling in your area you could attend or a pastor at your church you could talk with? I'm 45 and my dad is 71 and I know that day could come at any time for me too. Hang in there WIMT. Are you in Wisconsin? I am too. If you need someone to just talk to you can feel free to contact me, just give me your email address and I'll e-mail you directly. I'd be happy to listen if you need me.

Went missing
Does it bother anyone else that TV shows, news reporters and newspapers are saying "He went missing last week..." Shouldn't it be "He has been missing since last week...?" I've asked friends and family, but they don't notice. I figure transcriptionists are more aware of grammar than regular people. It makes me crazy when they talk about someone "going missing." They're not going anywhere, they're just plain missing!!
missing
I first heard someone on a local news station say it last year. Now I hear it everywhere? Where did that phrase come from? I guess I "went missing" when that phrase was invented. Irritates me too. Oh, and so does Nancy Grace whether she is saying went missing or anything else.
I'm missing something
If you billed April in May, shouldn't you have received the money from when she helped you?
And did you have a contract set up with her.
I would just pay her the $100.
What am I missing?????
What's the deal with someone going out of town? or not letting the employer know?? Is this person an IC or an employee? and why is it that so many "employer's" do not understand that they cannot dictate hours of work to an IC? maybe this is the case? I know I have dealt with plenty like that. Perhaps, I am wrong - I know I missed something somewhere in all of this.
Maybe I'm missing something here.
"...my WAV pedal is acting in the same manner - tap the pedal to listen and tap it to stop the dictation." That's how mine works so what do you want to do differently? How did it work before?
you bet I do, but you are missing sm
the point. I think knowledge and experience should pay a whole lot more. My point is if you do learn all you can and can do every kind of report type and do it with an excellent report then you will not have the problem of not being able to make any money when the companies are only paying 8 cpl. The pay is not going to get better anytime soon. I know there is the exception to the rule and the companies, mostly smaller companies, who pay more but there are so many larger companies that are paying the 8 cpl. Personally to do OP reports all day long I think I should be making 15 cpl! Wouldn't that be nice but it isn't happening and I am perfectly ok making 8 cpl and doing what I do for now. Its better than no job at all.
I may be missing something, but I'm

where would you be if your daughter was missing (sm)
in another country? The posts on down the board are appalling, some of them anyways! I would hope that any parent in their right mind would be right there, no matter where "there" is, if their child were missing. I know I'd be whereever I had to be. I could not rest until I was there, waiting and helping to find my child. I'd go to the ends of the earth to get my daughter back, no questions asked. And maybe people are donating money to them so they can stay in Aruba and help find their daughter, as well as keep their lives going back here at home. Where has compassion gone? It's truly sad that we ridicule people for simply wanting desperately to find their lost child. Just Sad.
missing lines
I have had lines missing and they always pay me on the paycheck. It never shows on my lines but when I get paid it is added to my lines.
missing girl
I did miss some of it, but if the missing girl was the man's daughter, then she was alive. His daughter was the one at the beginning with the ring in her nose. Maybe someone else who saw the whole thing can fill in the details.
They are the same thing or else I am missing something.
The music is nice, the pictures are nice but what in the world is the message? Not worth the time...sorry.
Missing The Word "A"
Hi. Please tell me that missing the word "A" (as you did) didn't actually cost you points on a QA review!! EEK!!!
Our cat, who has been missing since April
He is a little thin, but otherwise looks to be in good shape. The best news is our new dog (stray -somebody dumped her on the highway by our house) who loves people/hates every other living creature, just walked up to him, sniffed him, and paid absolutely no more attention to him. It's a good day
missing 1099 - what to do??
Ok, it's now near the end of February and I'm still missing a 1099! I've notified the company, but they just said it was sent out and weren't any help. The amount was over $10,000, so I obviously need to report it. How do I go about reporting it without a 1099? Do I need to report the company to the IRS? Anyone out there with their own service, what do you do when someone doesn't receive their 1099? Can you just send them a copy or do you have to completey re-do it? I remember reading something about the form having some barcode or something in it so the IRS can scan it, so does this mean you can't just send a copy?? Thanks for any help!
Missing dictations
I also get a patient list from the doctors office. I check off which ones I got voice files for, i.e. which ones I typed. I don't keep track of which names or not checked off. How do I know if that patient just didn't show up for the appointment, walked out without being seen, or if the doctor put off dictating. That's administrative work that the doctors' secretaries do at my client's office. If they can't find something they think he dictated and ask me to look for something or check on something I'll do it because it only takes a few minutes but I don't do all the stuff you're doing.
I think you are missing her point
I don't think it's about the money. I think it's about priorities. Should the MT think about her needs in her last few weeks or the company's needs? I think the poster was implying that she was doing the company a favor by training others on her accounts, and was it worth it to think of the company rather than her own needs. You are being short-sighted in your reply.
You are missing the point
If you go to a session WITH him and have the counselor hear your problem, she/he can help the two of you work it out.
It's like calling him out in a nice way - the counselor will make him address the issue and you won't be forced to choose avoid contact he probably really needs.
Missing the point.
If the IC accepts the work, then it is expected that the IC will do the work. Don't take on something that you can't do. Period.
If the IC takes the work, then later calls and says they can't do it, that puts the company in a bind. Sure, the company will solve their problem but don't blame the company for the IC's personal problems.
I'm not missing the point.
An IC is just that, and the company is EXPECTING her to type. This is wrong of the company, not the IC. The IC has a right being self-employed to refuse a job. If anything, learn to stay away from companies who hire IC's, but treat them like employees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eliminate the IC and make them an employee if you have such a proble with an IC REFUSING WORK THAT SHE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO DO. Maybe in the morning, the IC could do the work, and then maybe another account that pays more needed her, which is really no business of the other company that she gives the work back to why she cannot do it.
I cannot believe the nerve of some people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is wrong, wrong, and wrong no matter how you slice it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you haven't tried this your missing out!
This is the best program to date that I have. This has saved me so much time!!! The way Vann Joe has this set up you can import so much information into your document from the Patient Information screen its unbelievable. Invoicing is absolutely effortless. This program is the least expensive of all the ones I've bought and the most valuable without a doubt! Give it a try, you'll be hooked in no time and wonder how you survived before it!
1 pt for missing space.
Don't EVER leave out a space after a colon. Did you know that was worth a point? Sheesh. I got a 96% on a 33 line report by missing a space after a colon.
So do you have the missing notes??
If you have the missing notes then someone is misplacing them and you simply charge them a re-printing fee. Are you doing digital and delivering back or do you pick up tapes? If they want more delivery back, charge a delivery fee. You can make it work if you want to but they will have to pay for the time you are putting into the work. If you feel someone at the clinic is doing your work, explain that also. Good luck.
