Moon void this morning

Posted By: Merc retro in shadow period on 2008-01-18
In Reply to: This is my Friday SCREAM!!!! sm - Lyndia

Mercury is in its shadow period right now and the moon just went direct at 9:30 Eastern time....not full until next week. (see www.astroprofile.com) We're just getting started. To quote Bette Davis, "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride."

Take lots of deep breaths and try and stay as positive as you can.....hang in there!

last night was a new moon, not a full moon - sm
my kids were wound up too though.
Have you tried given your life to God. He can fill the void. nm

Morning baby, morning adult. Kids born at 11:30AM (both) are night owls, however. Go figure! :) nm

Outsourcing topic on Good Morning America this morning....
nm
Ok, maybe I should just stay in bed LOL How about "every morning" not everyone morning. Wow. C

Thank you Moon!
Your post made me happy! Finally, someone who "gets it." Maybe you could email me and tell me who you work for? I bet MT's would LOVE to work for someone like you.
Moon
QA doesn't put their signature or # on the document anywhere, do they?
I know the MTs goes on there, so how would they even track a certain report to the QA person that did it?
Also, what about the reports that don't go through QA and go directly to the facility?
Thanks again Moon!
You are 100% correct! I AM just trying to get it right and do a good job! I do not believe that we all need to just, "suck it up" etc., that is the problem with this whole industry! No one wants to stick up for themselves or the industry.  They would rather put up with it, just for sheer peanuts.  I don't believe it is right.  If there were more people like us, this industry would be a whole lot better off.  Some people just don't care about crap work and just want to collect a paycheck. I honestly care about the work that I put out.
Moon
But what about the ones you don't proof?
Exactly right moon...

I think you are preaching to the moon.
This subject is just as bad as politics and religion. Good for you, you don't eat meat. As for me, I think nothing tastes better than a nice big juicy steak! Yum, yum!
If they can send a man to the moon...
Why can't they invent something to stop cherry picking once and for all??? ARGH. I'm having an annoying day myself - must be Hurricane Katrina....
MAN you can tell it's a full moon!

Is it full moon out tonight?
smiley
YOU are right! These companies promise the moon so they (sm)

can get the accounts and the MTs are the ones that get the bad deal.  To be honest, I too, am not good with heavy ESLs but I sure try.  I am also slower than most - but I sure try.  There are some ESLs that really try hard and I appreciate their efforts.  Then there are ESLs that are so fast and so sloppy I haven't a clue what they are saying.  There are also horrible American dictators too.  As the above poster said - the lack of decent courtesy is gone.  Their excuse - I'm in a hurry, blah, blah, blah.  Well sometimes I'm in a hurry so maybe I should stop capitalizing words, quit looking up strange words, forget punctuation.  Really!  Have dictators forgotten that there is a real human being transcribing his mess?


It's a full moon? Bring on Van Morrison!!!!

I hear ya...must be a full moon or the infamous
"I've eaten the microphone and I can't dictate" monster has reared its ugly head!!!

Hugs, girl!
My keyboard problem (is it a full moon?) sm
I can't get one to last more than a New York minute!

I bought TWO HP keyboards the Saturday before Christmas. As of yesterday, I have already killed one! It was squeaking and didn't type out things I know perfectly well I had typed. I would have had over 2000 lines if I had not had to back up every word to fix it.

I don't like Microsoft keyboards, the punch is too hard. This HP, the punch is very light and I like it, but man, they don't last. I am hard on keyboards, it is true and they last about 2 or 3 months if I am lucky. I hate the ones that are too clicky and noisy, if you know what I mean.

What are you all using? I have to do something and my budget does not run to a $100 keyboard right now. Help me please.
Oops, missed the part about expecting it to be as big as the moon!
.
Yes, and what about Moon Zappa and Dweezil? What in the world were they thinking?
Horrendous.
I can here this morning
For the first time. I don't know who you are and who you are lashing out at but YOU need help.
Got her in this morning, thanks. NM

Doing 60 lph this morning so far. : (
I get up every day with a positive attitude, and start typing away.  Same BAD dictators, skipping all around in reports, and some areas garbled beyond recognition.  I'm just venting, but it is so hard to keep going on day after day like this, making no money and being frustrated beyond belief.  It takes so many hours just to make 1000 lines like this.  ARGH~!!!!!!
I did everything this morning between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM.

 Now I am sitting here after having had a tea party with DD, decided to check out the boards, and will hopefully have some more work in a bit.  I always end up getting my line count by the end of the day, but when I'm in "the zone", it is frustrating to have to wait for work to come in. 


I got up this morning and...
called my Daddy to tell him what I did.  I am crying again, but these are tears of empowerment and true joy.  I put my music on, rather than that darn TV that he was addicted to and my children are dancing.  DANCING!  We were opposites on so many levels and had nothing in common.  He has no more control and I am sooooo okay for the first time maybe ever.  I feel so strong with all of you behind me.  Your words I will cherish forever.  God Bless All of You!  More updates to come...            
Did you see GMA this morning....sm
story about working at home as a customer service rep.... anyone not happy with job/and or income should check it out. 
a pot a day...in the morning though
Couldn't go without it!
Your morning
ROFL! That darn gravity! I always told my kids that if there was no arterial spurting or bones protruding through the skin, get ready for school.
Then why were there 152 on this morning?
And 57 on in the middle of the night? Honestly people...can you really be this suspicious of the entire world?
GOOD MORNING!

Let's here some positive thoughts for the day, okay?  I like my job (Not love because I'd rather not have to work at all)!  I have worked at some nice offices and not so nice offices but this is the best.  My own! (Finally finished office after adding on 4 years ago)  Sure, I have bad days when I really don't feel like working or the phone rings 100 times a day or DH or kids need this or that every 5 minutes but for the most part where could I work with no one breathing down my neck or I can get up and get a drink of water or go to the bathroom without having to tell someone that I'm doing it and still get paid twice I would be making if I was still in-house.


Come on!  Let's here positive things and encourage each other today!  (I am not slamming any complainers because I am one also, just want some positive input today)


I love this board!


Our prices went from $2.55 to $2.99 this morning. nm

I heard about this on CNN this morning, however
The employer deducts it on their taxes to charity and the employee has lower income, hence not paying taxes on that amount.
I do sometimes but usually do the lunches in the morning -sm
I now start earlier, i.e. 6:30/6:45 and have it all done by 7, (was stressed myself last year) get the shoes on, hair brushed, kids fed, teeth brushed by 7:20 then do our 6-mile drive to the bus stop. Can be rushed some, but now not so nuts and better organized this year. Just give yourself an extra 15 minutes and pre-do all the stuff you can the night before, i.e. potato/corn chip bags, crispy bars, whatever. Makes it much smoother.
When I got up this morning I saw the words
"bodies found" and had to rub my eyes to see if I was dreaming. 
"There's got to be a morning after. . .
Poseidon Adventure, 1972. Great movie. Great actress.
Can I cry on your shoulders this morning?

My husband is gone until spring with his company about 5 hours away from home. Not too far but far enough where I can't see him often. In fact, he left Jan1 and haven't seen in since. No big deal - 14 days.


He is staying in a nice hotel with company car, perks, etc. He doesn't have a boss, but they have him working 13 days straight and then one day off and he is working his tail off. He calls me every night, and we trust each other 110%. We have 2 boys - 2 and 4.  I am basically going nuts over here with them but that is a different subject.


 


So I got this grand idea last night that in the morning (today) I would drive and come see him, he has tomorrow off, and then I would leave early Tues to come back home. No big deal. The kids could watch DVD, etc. I am very, very independent and can do this with my eyes closed.  I've always traveled by myself, etc., because of my background, and he's the type who is ultra-conservative, worried about traffic, safety, etc. Which is irritating because yes, there are risks involved when traveling. I have a new vehicle, great tires, great gas mileage, a cell phone, money, and street smarts. What the h*** is the big deal? He calls me this morning when the boys and I are ready to go to tell me, "don't come."


Do you know how upset I am? I am very upset.  He won't be back until April or so and he doesn't want to see us????? He can't leave the area, so we have to come and see him.  Yet, because he's so darn cautious and conservative (always has been that way), we have to suffer by staying here and basically I have done nothing but work extra and take care of 2 kids who really miss their dad.


I am upset.  I am all packed up and ready to go with no where to go.  He did say I could possibly come down later, as in a few weeks later, when the area is not as congested (he's near the gulf of Mexico where hurricane hit, but in a city that was not devastated so there are hotels and restaurants, etc). But to be honest, I'm not going to waste my time or energy on him if he doesn't want to see us. I am not going through this again in 2 weeks. He can just forget it.


I'm usually very mature, but I am so pissed right now and I don't really care. He doesn't want to see us today, then I guess he and his ultra safety self can wait until he comes home in April.


40 this morning, now about 65 and sunny

Did you see on Fox & Friends this morning...
or the news in general, that the group from Kansas that has been protesting at soldiers' funerals is coming to PA (that's where I'm from) to protest AT THE FUNERALS because of something Gov. Rendell said about them?
I woke up this morning with
my right ankle swollen. I didn't do anything to hurt it, and it doesn't really hurt either. It sometimes has this tight sensation when I stand on it. I have no other symptoms, no fever, no warmth, no pain. I am in between doctors right now. What are your thoughts??
Good Morning

We are soon going to convert to electronic medical records. I am still going to transcribe reports for the doctor. If I work from home and the doctor wants me to type straight in to electronic medical records system- how is that going to work? Will I still be able to do it from my computer or will doctor have to purchase laptop?????


Thanks  


morning headaches
Sleep apnea can cause morning headaches because of oxygen deprivation.  Have you ever had a sleep study?
Sad dictation this morning
A couple of weeks ago, I typed an OP report for some poor elderly lady who was assaulted in her house with a knife and basically left for dead.  This morning, I typed her death summary.  I've been bumming all day. 
Good Morning!
I hope you all have a fantastic and productive week!
I had a doctor one morning with
very bad gas.  He was nice enough to apologize and telling me it might happen throughout the dictation - not burping....he was shooting bunnies - very loud ones!!!
They were there earlier this morning.

I have a resident this morning
who is literally spelling everything under the sun.  All medications, the word "supple", etc.  He is driving me absolutely mad.
No coffee yet this morning. You said it was on the server.
On the one hand, if it's on the server and not on your computer, perhaps your supervisor only has it installed to make sure nobody is hacking the system.  Maybe your supervisor doesn't even know it's there, but I doubt that.  I'd want to be sure it didn't get on my computer, but you sound savvy since you're already running anti-spyware software.  How would I feel knowing my supervisor was spying on me?  Well, I have nothing to hide.  I would never do anything I shouldn't be doing on her server.  Then again, I'm not some infant hacker that needs to be monitored.  (I'm not a hacker at all, for that matter!  LOL  Oy....Where's the java?)  Most of my former employers used to monitor what we did with our computers with regard to email and the Internet.  I have nothing to hide, but if they can't trust me, they can bite me.
1308 from 7 to 11 this morning. Need a break before
