Here in NYS the kids don't go back until after Labor Day, which is usually around September 7th of so. Of course, we get out a lot later than those in the South. School doesn't let out until the end of June.

Anyone else dying for school to start? (sm)
Grandchildren had been going to the LatchKey summer program, but they closed for the last 2 weeks before school starts to get the schools ready.  So guess what?  You got it.  Memaw is trying to type with children.  I have to totally admire those of you that do this on a regular basis.  My hat is off to you. 
So when does school start in your area????

TRAINING SCHOOL--I WANT TO START A

training school to produce quality transcriptionists using something like HPI's CD and cassettes.  I have purchased several from different transcriptionists and I wonder if anyone has ever attempted to start a training program.  I know the local colleges are going to come after me in every way they can just to prevent me from infringing on their multi-million dollar Transcriptionist training, but they teach them and charge them for soooo very much that transcriptionists do not need, and they stretch their programs out for two years.  I already have a transcription service with 6 employees, but want to expand and I have just interviewed about 8 applicants who knew absolutely nothing about the meds we use now, and especially about the AAMT guidelines about not using q.d., q.i.d. q.h.s. etc.  One woman had been seeking a position for a year, but everyone in our area wants "experience."   She is a very fast learner, intelligent, and I only have to tell her things once.....but after a two-year college, making the Dean's List, I am training her!!  I want to start the "training" school cuz as it is now, I am doing it for free, just so I can get an excellent, long-term employee...  Has anyone every tried doing this and did the colleges really come after you with lawyers?  How can I term it, charge for it, but not require a "teaching license" so I do not get in trouble?  I am clueless on this, want to be careful not to step on toes, but am very tired of training students who graduate for free.  Feel free to email me if you need to...... PLEASE HELP ME!!! 


When does school start in your area? sm

August 14th here in Cobb County and I can't wait to get the kids out of the house then  


I can't wait for school to start either, and I don't even HAVE kids!! nm
xxxx
I do not know about her school but next Tues. when my kids start the first day they get out at 9:50

teach and guide, start my own school? sm
I guess then they should take the Word Board off if teaching and guiding is a "no no?" Difference between teaching and just telling somebody something they can look up for themselves.

Yeah I am into books! Not too slow if you know what you are doing! Still do 250-300 lph with accuracy which is more than I can say for your post.
My kiddos start school next Wed and I'm not ashamed to say it will be a relief. My teenaged son

gives me hourly updates on his boredom every single day.  Now, my daughter is starting kindergarten this year and I will be sad probably the first week because she's my baby - my last baby - but she is sooooo ready for school.  She just can't wait.  Maybe I should be the one with hurt feelings since she can't way to leave me! 


I highly doubt my son's feelings are hurt when I say "Just think, you won't be bored when school starts."


POLL: Home School vs. Charter School vs. Public School vs. Priv ate School...
Pros and cons of each too. I have two little ones that will be starting school soon and I would like opinions on all. Thanks in advance! :)
I did that with 2 kids with time mgmt and a high school girl who babysat 3 days a week after school

The cost of running a private school or any school is expensive....
Why do you think public schools are so run down and can't find good teachers?  Because the government and people to not put forth the effort or $$$$ to improve the educational system.
Up-date

Okay, I found a phone number on my statement for thier "Premier" card so I called that number.  I asked where the rep was located and she tole me Buffulo, NY and her name was Vivian.  I got the answer to my question and then told her I had initially called and got hold of a center in the Phillipines but I refused to talk to them.  I asked how I could go about lodging a complaint about the company offshoring.  She said she could forward the complaint for me but it probably wouldn't do any good.  I told her it would do some good if more people did as I was doing and also lodged complaints about offshoring.  I explained that in my profession offshoring a a huge problem and that it was only a matter of time before SHE lost her job to offshoring also.  I told her to include in my complaint that her bosses worked for  me and if I, and others like me, refused to use their services, her boss and the company's management would be looking for new jobs.  Vivian told me they have call centers all over the world and I just lucked out using the :"Premier"  phone number because I do not have a "Premier" card.  She said in the future if I want to get a rep in the US, I will probably have to hang-up and call back, several times maybe, until I got hold of a US rep.  (Yeah, right, I am calling the Premier number first thing).  But, at least I know what it might take to get a US rep.


I realise even the offshore people are just looking to make a living but what about all the US citizens trying to make a living, only to see their jobs go offshore? And I agree that it is "managament" that is responsible for this, but until we stand up for ourselve, no one else will.  Management works for us!!  Just like the managment of the MTSOs and even the Nationals have no job without us.  It it too easy to say, "Well, just this one time, I will use the foreign call center,  One time won't make a difference."  But it is that one time, added to your one time and added to her one time, added to my one time and on and on, that WILL make a difference.  It is too easy to sit back and wait for someone else to solve the problem.  That attitude will get us nowhere but out of work or working for slave wages.


Date? Isn't that where....sm

a guy asks a gal out, and they go to the movies, maybe dinner, or something fun?  I haven't been on one of those in several months now. 


As far as internet dating goes - have you tried it?  I've met more decent guys through the internet over the past 5 years than I have at church, in the grocery store, through neighbors, etc.   Of course you have to use common sense and if you smell a rat then run.... but often times you can figure out who the jerk or married person pretending to be single is through  some chatting on-line before you even talk on the phone.   Two guys I met on-line are still good friends and I hooked up 1 with a gal that I knew that they were much more compatible and they've been dating now for 5 months. 


 


 


Just went on a date!

Anyone have any success with eharmony.com?  It's not a good thing when you get to the stop light and bust up laughing over what you just went through! 


well now you date yourself and ME..LOL..sm

Well, I'm old enough to be your oldest sibling or perhaps even your parent *L*


I VOTED FOR MONDALE AND FERRARO - it was my first election that I chose to vote in and I think it was 1972.  (I didn't vote when I first turned 18).  GIRL POWER!!!!  YEAH!!


LOL, no, I think you need a date. LOL. nm

word for date
I use "da" and then change it in the Autocorrect every day.  This works for when you're not using today's date.
eww, why on earth would you want to date.
And chances are you will find the person boring, annoying or unappealing.  I don't see why people date on those sites, its so set up.  Its better to meet by chance, more natural and less pressure.  I'm in my early 30s and I see my friends either divorced or miserable in their marriages, same with my family.  It gets old real fast, why not have something to look forward to, and use this time to figure out who you are, your passions, and the right person will be drawn to you to complement you, rather than being forced together because you feel like you should be in a couple.  At this point I have my own life and forcing a relationship into it would make me irritable and obligated...BUT if in the process of living my life I happen upon someone who fits in there without me knowing it...meaning I can stand him there...well that would be a big bonus.  No need for it, or want..been there done that...i'm old enough to know I want it on certain terms.  In the meantime, i'll just hug my dog and cat way too much.
Date? Isn't that where a guy takes you out
And expects to get sex afterward? If you don't cooperate, that's the last time you will ever see him. No thanks-- my furry critters are a lot more loving and faithful and are not the least bit selfish.
date rule
Thanks. My mind just blanked and I couldn't remember. It seems like it has changed so often over the years!
Date question
Hello everyone.  I know this a dumb question, but I have searched and I cannot find this answer.  Can you please tell me when a doctor gives a date in the body of a report do you automatically write the year as well.  For instance.... He was last seen on January 19.  Would you type the year too?  I have always typed the year if I am 100% sure of the year the doctor is referring to.  I believe I was told to add it for clarity, and I believe that is the way I was taught in school, but I cannot find it referenced, and I had someone ask me about it. 
Not since today. (what's the date where you are?)
Time traveler, are we?

:oD
LOL! We sure date ourselves when we admit we know

What is the date of this article?

I looked all over this article and could not find a date of publication.  Everything vaguely says "later this year.'  Which year?  The only thing I could find on the entire page was 04/08/02 under the author's byline, and at the very bottom of the page, a copyright of 1995-2002.  When you click on the link to discuss the article in the forums, the new page never loads.  If you look up all other articles by this author, they are all dated 2000-2002. 


I think you are getting upset over nothing.  Call Time Warner directly and ask them what their plans are. 


All I can say is what is written on my up-to-date
social security forms and the fact I just talked with them in January. I certainly asked the question, again, if money withheld when I turn full retirement next year and again told no, full benefits then. Like I told Doxie, just call social security and check with them.

are you not interested in keeping up to date
If not, then the Stedman's Work At Home is not for you. If on the other hand, you are interested in staying abreast of new technology and updates to words, then it is worth the money. For example, you may not be aware than LLW updated it's Stedman Spellcheck and the words in it are spelled more accurately than the words in the word books published before mid 2004. You may find errors in Stedman books that you will not find in the Work At Home package. You also get to ask about words you cannot document. I have used this feature and gotten an answer within an hour.

Very useful resource for the low price.
Is your antivirus program up to date
and a really good one because I'm thinking it sounds like you have a virus.  I got a virus on my computer even though I had a Norton antivirus program running on it.  There are so many new viruses that come out all the time it's hard for the antivirus programs to keep up with them.  Maybe you should install a different antivirus programs/sypware CD than the one on your computer.  Just a thought
Maybe a letter stating that on such and such date - sm
your rates will be increased to XYZ. Then maybe institute a % discount if they pay in 5-10 days if you don't already do that, kind of lessen the sting (just make sure you don't make less if they do this). If not a letter than maybe on your next invoice. Good luck.
Read the date wrong, BUT STILL
ON HERE TOO LONG.
The above is one of the most eloquent posts to date -sm
about the state of affairs in the Healthcare industry and the MT branch of it. You're right about lobbyists, and I thin we MTs need some right about now. Back in the beginning of AAMT, we all naiively bought into their organization, thinking that support, lobbying, and maybe improvement in pay & working conditions (i.e., not having to work a 12-hour day in order to make 8 hours' pay, and having benefits and health insurance like other Americans) were going to be one of the benefits. Boy, were we ever wrong. AAMT turned out to be right there in bed with all the shady CEOs of national companies, and top administrators of the hospitals, that only cared about one thing. MONEY, and lots of it. (For themselves, of course.) Other companies and industries in this country have been called out on poor treatment of workers (Wal-Mart) and customer fraud (Enron), and both of those evils exist in the MT business and even many parts of healthcare as a whole. We already know we're getting the short end of the stick wage-and-compensation-wise. And maybe now it's time for every MD & hospital in this country to get a chance to either FIND OUT (if they don't know their patient information is leaving the U.S.) or to be OUTED (if they do know it, but don't tell their patients, MDs, etc.) Above all those of us whose medical records are being written to and stored in an electronic medical record should not only have the right to KNOW if our records leave the U.S., but we should also have the right to say "NO, not MY records."

They are correct. They issue pay on that date.
If they offer direct deposit and you wish to use that, then you can receive your pay that day.

It is the same as an inhouse company having paper checks available on payday -- you will have to pick it up. If you don't work that day, don't drive into work until the next day, you won't receive your pay until the next day. However, they "paid" you on time as they had the checks ready.

I think too many people assume too much about payroll laws and absence of language regarding how they receive their pay.


Date format 01/03/2007 or 01/03/07 or
1/3/07 or 1/3/2007?  If it's in the AAMT BOS, I can't find it. I looked under dates, months, years.  I work on various accounts with varied preferences but curious if there is a recognized standard as to the preceding zeroes in above examples or shortening a year, e.g., /07 from /2007. 
How can this be? First date supposed to be mid May, NOT July?
Found nothing on IRS.gov site for a schedule, either.
Meditech shortcut for date (sm)
Could someone who knows Meditech tell me how to use the short cuts.  No one ever taught me - just basics of typing - and I know there are things that can help.  thank you for your help.
Check the date of my post
How could I have been responding to you if my post was the day BEFORE your post? The software also marked it as being in response to Karen's.


Tons of up-to-date resources;) sm
Make sure you have all the resources you need that will cover a lot of specialties, especially for ops. I wouldn't worry too much. You will basically just be learning more words. Just have the resources you need for quick finds to help you pick up speed. I'm sure you'll do fine!

Can you email me the name of the company you are starting with? Even though I've been in this business for over 15 years, I don't have the "recent" acute care experience most companies are requesting. However, I do have at least 10 years in the past. Thanks!
Date with keyboard on Friday to have time for

My twin granddaughters, the dynamic duo, (17 months)  who will be spending the rest of the weekend with Gram and "Aunnie" (my 11-year-old).  Can't wait to play and spoil, spoil, spoil!


I probably will be in bed and sound asleep after they leave Sunday at 7:00.  :)


Interesting - what is date on that? and does this newest memo from
I wonder?
Blind date 30 years ago, love at
first sight, still happy, happy, happy.  Moved in together about 5 days later.  Never looked back.  Got married and living happily ever after.
I was a recap of the first season to bring you up to date.
Another show did that recently too.  Next week starts the new season and yes, she lost the baby (ectopic if I remember correctly).
I sensed that by his posts w/o him saying so. I just want him for a friend, not a date.
He's really funny and logical. Must be old to remember Shelly Winters though.
