I downsized from a very big L-shaped wooden desk
to a much smaller square glass, sorta light blue tinged background to it. I will say before I felt so overwhelmed with all that I had on the L-shaped desk and now that has completely dissipated. I also bought to go along with the desk a 4 tiered shelf that is right beside me and that holds my fax, telephone, printer and some other little odds and ends. I am very happy now. All the other the L held was weighting me down literally. Can't get as much on this desk and relieved my anxiety.
i've got a clear glass L-shaped desk,
and plain buttercup yellow walls (here when I moved in). I'm going to go into business with a family friend painting (faux finishes, murals, etc) so I'm thinking of painting my office with a stone look wall (on the wall with the window) and a mural of some sort (probably italin)on the wall that I face. I will eventually knock that wall down anyway so that it's open to below/looks over the family room so if the mural isn't that great it really won't matter-and if it turns out great- the wall will probably stay 
L-shaped desk, bookcase under the left side for my medical references
(homemade by my DH, of course), file cabinet to the left. Phone on the left side of L, mouse on the right, easy reaches for my aching elbows if I keep them in front of me. My desk faces my door to the office (sliding glass doors to the house) so I can see anyone who decides to just come in the door without knocking. If they knock, it takes me a minute or so to get to the door, but that's okay too. Even with my big L-shaped desk, I still have lots of extra clutter that I need to put away, file, throw away taking up my space, but at least I can find everything I need when I need it. :-)
Ilove my Goldtouch -- you can make it a "'weird shaped" or not so weird shaped sm
as you want. You can split it apart and angle it however you like and even tent it up too. It definitely has helped me a LOT! Before that, I used the Microsoft Natural and loved it, but this is even better. :-)
MT Facing foreclosure question
Due to my ARM going up to almost 1000.00 on my house and my income plummeting due to lack of work I am facing foreclosure. I have not been able to make a payment since November when I last talked to Wells Fargo about a modification. They have not tried to reach me via phone or mail, just my usual bill, but it did state foreclosure preparation had begun. I have not received a formal letter yet asking me to vacate the premises. My question is, how long after they send the letter do they allow you to move out, or will they send me a formal letter or will the sherriff show up at my doorsteps putting me out?  
I tilt the keyboard away from me, like it's partly facing
A number of MTs in my office do that, and with the wrists supported, and the keyboard slightly tilted away from you, it seems to increase speed.
You never know, though. Everybody has their own comfort level.
INXS is anything BUT metal. nm

have tried many, I do best with the metal stethoscope ones
recently purchased a new set for $30 ... these don't make my hears sore.
have tried many different kinds over the years and keep coming back to the stethoscope. As stated, I prefer the metal to the plastic; to me the sound is better.
good luck ..
It's facing reality. And YES - I've already left the field and glad I did.
I'm not waiting until the bottom falls out and there's nothing but unemployment or mall jobs. Nope.
U-shaped
with shelves on both sides for all my books. It is oak colored veneer, made with pressboard. It is functional, but I would love something that looked more professional.
Saw my mother-in-law's couch LOL

disks in C-spine, then huge metal fan fell on back of head!
That is when the real pain began. A rhizotomy is where they cut the nerve roots to relieve the pain (anterior) or muscle spasms (posterior). I just had neurectomies, and my head has been worse for the last two months. The neurosurgeon was unable to get left side because my occipital nerve was entangled in the artery, but he got the right. Now I cannot feel the right side of the back of my scalp; however, I am still having a lot of pain! So much for that.
I defend her for being out there while you were yoda'd out on the couch laughing at her. :) nm

I'm getting tired of sleeping on the couch. We bought a (sm)
fairly expensive mattress and my husband and I both do not like it at all. I have resorted to sleeping on the couch sometimes because it is more comfortable. Thanks for the input. I'm looking at the 5000 Queen. Which do you have?
I knew about the Killing Oprah On Her Couch thingy...
but never saw him get squirted! He simply was not happy with that man, wuz he? Ah, fame and fortune - it must B a drag!
I remember having to look under the couch cushions and car mats for change.....
just to buy 1 can of green beans.... 1 can.... "Ice cream for the kids", that's too funny....
There are good points and there are bad and ugly points. Unfortunately, the bad and ugly get
deleted. Just the other day there was info and it seems to be more positive. Like any MT job, some love it, some hate it. But, having been employed there, the bad parts are/were true. The changes sound great but not great enough to make me change my mind about working for them. I do say she pays well for the area. She is one of the rare business owners who actually started out as an MT..I think that makes a big difference in pay.

CONGRATS to Vanessa R. of Mine Hill, NJ on winning the computer shaped
/
I made a card with a nice close-up photo of hers printed oblong-shaped with a red background, a huge
blank space beside the photo for my message written in silver ink, and some pressed tiny flowers to decorate the edges, then I laminated. She was so proud to show it off to her friends. (You might want to use this idea next year, maing sure you press small flowers first, or you can think of other decors).
Don't go there!!! It is ugly, ugly, ugly.

No, I wasn't trying to be ugly to ANYONE. I truly was
trying to make some peace.
Goodness gracious.
Sorry folks.

The good, the bad, and the ugly.
I just transferred a whole group of on-site hospital MTs to a MTSO (I'm currently a recruiter). The money they made was amazing, and was killing the hospital. They all now work for a national.
On the flip side, I just went back to work for a hospital as an MT, the job was advertised recently on an MT board. Great bennies, I know the docs already as it is a local account, great pay. They were once with two major national MTSOs, decided they could do a better job themselves...and from what I've seen, I'm sure they do.
Good, bad or UGLY
Geez guys, I see no work, slow work, and when there is work - "it's bad". What does it take to make you people happy???????
ugly names
I used to work with a woman named GayDonna -- yes, that was her REAL name!!!
What is up with that lately. It sounds so ugly!
lol
Good, bad, ugly...
I've worked for several MT companies and have seen "it all" (no flames, I'm sure there are MTs here who have been working longer than I've been breathing). Anyway, have seen MDs who dictate every few words and expect us to fill in the blanks, had MDs who question in the beginning of the report "I wonder how many days until I get this job back, they must type them on the moon or something" etc.... Then there are the gems out there too, ie "I'm sure you can tell I'm dictating from my car, first of all sorry about that, but I'm on my way to a Steelers game, I sure hope you like the Steelers" As with any profession "Takes all kinds" :)
Star Jones gets even more ugly
Butt ugly comes to mind! LOL...nm

Precyse. Good, bad, ugly?
thanks!
Kinda ugly?...she's scary looking...
She's way too young to have had all that work done. My guess is it was a mistake when it said Kat's family and friends... apparently she doesn't have anyone except her parents and grandma!

Platforms - the good, bad, and the ugly!
Would like to know what platforms are user-friendly and which ones slow you down. Currently working on one that slooooows me down so much!!!
Well, Gretchen, I'm old and ugly, but agree...sm
Rude, cruel, insulting people definitely eat roadkill. Best to blow them off. :D :D
Its not that I'm worried about bidding, but if the seller is ugly in
response to neutral or negative feedback I don't wan to deal with them, I don't care if they have a 99% rating. Sure there may be hundreds of positives, but it is their response that I'm looking for to see if I want to deal with this person/company.
Oh, and to the smart-mouthed poster below trying to be ugly to
those who are wanting to know more....SHUT THE H*** UP. You're not helping anyone.
I had to learn how to use macros, word expanders, etc., to get faster and there is no reason why these MTs shouldn't be given insight, hints, and tips to do it either.
Go mind your own business and stop being a snotty jerk.
Fat can be lost but ugly is forever. It must suck

I have had the good, the bad and the ugly in QA people in the past sm
It shapes the way I do my job, on both sides of the equation.
Right now, I am teaching an MT to do acute care with my feedback. I must be doing something right (she is too and trying very hard) because she is progressing so nicely. She does rad too and she said that my help is making her a better rad MT as well.
I so rarely send anything to QA at my other FT job and I had to send one yesterday, the first in over a month! I was so p o 'd, but the doctor threw some obscure equipment at me and I had 7 blanks, but that was for only 3 words I could not document well enough to suit me. My favorite QA gal grabbed it and gave me some feedback on the words and she went on to tell me what a good job I did (not!) because she said that most MTs have 10 to 20 blanks for this same doctor. I almost never have a blank with him, but this one time...it was a complex lower extremity interventional vascular procedure and I am not up on the equipment for those just yet with the switch to cardiovascular from OP notes. I felt like a fool, but she was great.
I have some really awful ones and there is one in particular who comes to mind because of her extremely condescending and childish manner. I actually have the QA position for a gal who was fired because of a similar attitude problem.
As QA, we are around to be the MT's safety net. We here for an extra set of ears so that the document is as full and correct as possible. Providing feedback helps an MT so that the quantity of their work going to QA will diminish. If you really want a justification for your existence as a QA, it is in the number of blanks you fill in and low numbers of jobs you have to review. IT IS NOT a promotion! IT IS NOT job advancement! It is using the knowledge you have gained to help others.
I can sort of understand the attitude because MTs seem to be having more issues with quality than they used to, or so it seems to me. The quality most lacking is a sincere wish to do the job well.
