Not ALL MTs have fat rear ends or sm

never get out into the real world. I came from a hospital and I KNOW what EMR is all about and how savvy the docs are with computers. Your comment was offensive.

Auto accident - rear -end
we don't think we should give a "recorded" statement to the other car's insurance company.  Advice.
In a rear-end 1 year ago, the 24th,
In my state, you have 4 years to settle. But, what they are offering is X amount LESS the 5000 in medical bills, WRONG,is not happening. Until they begin to talk "new money", a settlement is not going to happen. The guy totaled a brand new car, had 13 days. Good luck, but would never settle until all pain is gone and medical bills have been paid, wait until it is getting close to the 2 year limit.
Lice is a pain in the rear (and head) sm
My kids have had it before and what a tedious job it is to get rid of and make sure it stays away. Daily vacuuming of furniture, beds, etc. I took any and all stuffed animals and just stuck them in garbage bags for a month (they say 2 weeks, but I like to be safe). I looked for nits every day (brings new term to nit picking). I also used vinegar with the combing as it seemed to loosen up any remaining nits.

The dirty hair theory appears to be true, so I started using hair gel on my kids' heads, but we also have moved in the meantime, and they haven't had it since. The school district where we were seemed to have a huge outbreak at least twice a year.
Ignore QA long enough and you may find yourself out on your rear.

I agree with GATrans below. Don't trust him. He may be covering his own rear end. Either he

gives you the number and lets you do with it what you will or he loses your trust.  It could be that he is making this whole story up to cover up the fact that this woman may call again on his cell phone.  Men are snakes at times.  Don't be a fool.  My ex-husband was calling his girlfriend on our cell phone and telling me that it was the number of a woman who had a van for sale.  He was in the used car business so it was a plausible explanation.  Too bad for him that I have a suspicious nature, wrote the number down and kept it for posterity.  A few weeks later my husband's friend (who's wife was a friend of the girlfriend) called from this number and it showed on my caller id.  Too much of a conincidence for me.  Maybe your husband is honest Abe and you trust him completely, but there is no such thing as perfect, and most women whose husbands have had affairs, never saw it coming.  You can call me a cynic, but I'll never be a fool again and I hate to see other women be fooled.


And don't listen to the Pollyannas below you telling you that you are overreacting and that you should calm down.  Utter nonsense.  You have every right to be angry.  You have every right to want that person's phone number and to call her telling her to never call again.  And, if I were you, I'd be calling this friend of your husband's and letting him know what you think of him and threaten to tell his wife.  The friend has no respect of his wife or marriage and so you can bet he has no respect for you or yours.  Who cares if your husband loses him as a friend.  He doesn't really need friends like that anyway!


Marriage is hard and you have to fight to keep it going.  So fight.


I just noticed my right thumb twitching. I tell ya I'm falling apart! Last week my rear end and

left leg were going numb and now my thumb is twitching.  Ya know how you have your thumb poised above the space bar, well whenever I pause my typing my thumb twitches slightly and softly taps the space bar.  I keep rubbing my hand hoping it will stop.  Anybody else have this problem?


Maybe I'm getting to old to be an MT anymore.  Been doing this for almost 14 years and never so much as had a headache.  Now within the last year, I have head, neck and shoulder problems with muscle spasms and tightness, my rear end problems, and now this!  Frustrating to say the least! 


All's well that ends well

I probably wouldn't change anything. I was an MT for 15 years and it was a good ride. The last 5 years or so my salary began sliding until I couldn't make ends meet anymore. About a year ago I left the field to become a dialysis technician and just got accepted into nursing school. I wouldn't change the timing. Everything unfolded the way it was supposed to I guess.


I feel very sad for the loss of a great career. I loved being an MT and I miss it. I just couldn't hang in there anymore. Maybe I would have worked harder on my education while I had the chance. Other than that I don't have any regrets.


Woo! The Fun Never ENDS!
My new job. Grrrhhhh.

I like the job, but I'm irritated by Barb, our trainer/mentor/whip master.

She is on me like stink on a skunk.

Wow. I will give her one thing . . . she is right persistent. When she calls me lets it ring seven times until the answering machine picks up. She never leaves a message. Instead, Barb will hang up and re-dial. This morning I answered on the 77th ring. It was all I could stand.

They probably have to do it that way, because I'm certain a few of their new hires have escaped. Long term this is going to turn out to be a good job, but Barbie has to go.

She needs to hop in her little dream car and head on out to Malibu before I push her in the Easy Bake Oven.

"Ring.... rinnnnggggg..... riiiiiiiiiinnnnggggggggggg"

Spying my ID, I see that would be her now. Swell. Speak of the devil.

I'm trying to ignore it.

Did you ever see that fly paper that comes in a little tube that you hang from the ceiling to catch flies? This pre-dated the No Pest Strip that hung in a little box that looked like a slice of Velveeta so I'm giving my age away. I really hate fly paper. Invariably, if I come close to it that stuff is attracted to my hair like a magnet. It might catch flies, but it lethal to long hair.

"Rinnggggg.. ...... riiiinggggggg...... riiiinggggggg"

Yep. You got it.

Barb again. She never gives up. I suppose she missed the class in fifth grade on telephone etiquette when they said, "if people don't answer, they are not home!"

"Rinnggggg.. ...... riiiinggggggg...... riiingggggg . . . . .. riiiiiiiiing."

"Go away Barb."

"Rinnggggg.. ...... riiiinggggggg...... riiingggggg . . . . .. riiiiiiiiing."

Oh, that does it! I've had enough.

Today, I make sticky hat for Barb.

. . . or maybe, I can get one of those bug zapper things and interface that to my telephone?

Hmmmm . . . . now there's an idea. Once I get the TeleBug-Barb-Zapper perfected, they can take this transcription job and . . . . .

LAUNDRY! Never ends...

I agree. It never ends.

Yeppers, it never ends. (sm)

They act like they're doing you a huge favor to make $60.00 a day.  Who can get by on that????  I hear ya, I've worked for a company too where I made $3.00 an hour.  And they rant and rave about how good their company is, PULEEZE!  If they were so great they wouldn't be advertising!  If they paid well they wouldn't be advertising!  Wish they'd get the picture!  If they truly paid well and were good to work for we'd all be lined up to work for them! 


Sick and tired.

I have one who never ends his sentence
The whole body of the report is just one long run-on sentence, and I'm supposed to stop and start the sentences for him.

a whole lot more. Not just the software, equipment, upgrades, etc, but also the tech support, editors, and also trainers needed to introduce new staff to the system. Also time spent while doctors *train* the system. Then, when they ultimately give up and dump it 6 months or a year down the road, and can't get reimbursed for what they wasted on it, that's expensive, too.

For home things and general odds and ends Target

For groceries Super Walmart. I get my makeup and some hair necessities on-line from specialty websites.  For incidentals, impulse buys like clothes, purses, general fun junque, etc. I like street-side vendors, specialty shops, and some of my favorite chain stores like Kohl's (which I can't live without)!
