    Especially because it made you sound so fast! :)

    People would walk by and say, "Whoa, slow down! That thing is starting to smoke!"


    The new keyboards just don't sound like machine gun fire now do they?


    Boy, you sound so perfect. I guess you haven't made any mistakes then, huh? sm
    Wow. Even though you have this so-called knowledge about her and her son, or whatever, you don't have to come on the internet to say that she didn't love her son in a "traditional sort of way." What does that mean? We all love in different ways. I'm with most of the other posters on this board that you do sound harsh, whether you want to admit it or not, and even if you DO have knowledge of her past, you definitely cannot tell anyone of us here that you know what she is going through. No one knows.
    You sound like somebody who had their post erased

    Dunno.... the QA's who post on here sound pretty
    Reading about how perfect they all say they are, how they never make a mistake, and all the rest of us are bastically illiterate, ou'd think they invented medical transcription, and possibly even the English language.
    Well, I guess your post you made
    way down towards the bottom of this page was not quite true, under the "straw that broke the camel's back".....thought you were doing really well with your MT work and your big bonuses?  At any rate, I do hope you find something that makes you happy; burnout absolutely does happen; been there done that too!!
    Yeah, that post made me
    laugh too, but for other reasons.  Actually, I have the sweetest, nicest lady who works morning at McDonald's.  Always so cheerful & quick.  The afternoon shift is a bit surlier though - lol
    Wow! I really respect your post. You really sound like you have the kids' interests as #1, and th
    you and your ex are mature enough to handle sharing custody and expenses - well, that is just so refreshingly cool these days! I'm not putting it well, but its a compliment! I admire your choices.
    If you are making it sound worse than it is, don't be surprised that we believe you and post

    what mean post made you post your post
    Which mean post was the straw that broke the poster's back.
    Big MTSOs aren't always attractive to
    They charge a hefty line rate to pay the MTs plus QA plus all their administrative staff. Many private practice docs have been hit hard by malpractice ins. costs and want to cut as many corners as they can these days. I agree you'll have the best luck there as opposed to larger multisp clinics or hospitals.

    I disagree about the tapes, though. Depending on how far you have to drive and if you print, etc, you'll be putting in many hours of administrative-type work. Those are hours you're not making money. Not to mention, it's VERY hard to get them to switch to digital dictation later once they get used to this kind of pickup, delivery, & print service. This arrangement may work well for someone like Patti who enjoys the socializing aspect, but this can also be a huge burnout factor for other MTs in the long run, especially if you enjoy the transcription aspect of the work more than administrative tasks and would rather be at home than on the road. Unless your clients are close by, you could be looking at an hour or more on the road each day. Sure, the mileage deductions are great at tax time, but that's once a year and you'll pay for gas all year.

    Also, don't assume finding help will be a piece of cake, either. That can actually be one of the most challenging aspects. There are good reliable MTs out there, but you need to be able to offer a rate that will attract them.

    I'm not trying to dissuade you, though, not by any means. Simply giving you some additional food for thought. I say go for it. You'll never know until you try it! If you keep the work you have with an MTSO for a while while you try a direct client, you can always stay with the MTSO if you find it's not your cup of tea. That way, there's nothing to lose but possibly a lot to gain. Good luck! :)
    This post made you defensive, just like those e-mail nastygrams make us feel.

    Well, it is called the World Wide Web! Sorry, your post made me laugh! No offense... but duh! nm

    You are right about that - true humility in a person is very attractive. sm
    I worked for a doctor who had very low self esteem, but he always took up time with everyone. His self-depricating was funny.

    I guess the upper crust is not always flaky...

    And to me, "slacks" sounds as attractive as a housecoat, lol. nm

    And having a holier than thou attitude is SOOOOOO attractive!

    Taylor has already "poo-poo'd" attempts to make him more, er, attractive. sm

    He adamantly refused to color his hair. Great, you love your grey hair, we get it. Some women find you attractive. Maybe if you were 45 you would be, but you're 29 and you look 45.


    He will be a difficult idol because he doesn't want to be told what to do, either in his singing or in his appearance. He thinks he knows all.  At least Elliott let them attempt to mold him, and look, it worked! Kat is already super pretty and seems willing to take the advice of the marketing dept.and the musical advice. She would be a better A.I. for all involved.

    Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?

    I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers.  Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer.  Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card?  Did it make a difference. 


    Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you.  You have helped me many times. 


    You do sound FAT, but you don't sound RICh.
    Go live in Iraq or something.
    I don't know how it made such a small diff in your invoice... made a $100 diff in mine! (sm)

    If it were only adding up to three bucks, I wouldn't sweat it. $100? Yeah, that's baseball registration for my son for this year. I am not giving tabs, returns, etc. away free when it adds up to that much difference!  Why should I charge less for a Return than I would for a"K"?

    Ignore my post. I finally found the post on how to do this. nm
    n
    Yes, I tried to post same last night about 10 times, and it won't let me post.
    I used to breed lab puppies (please no activist flames)! I had a champion female white Canadian lab, and people would be on a list for years if by chance I bred her, which I did twice, and so that I could continue her line.  Anyhow, she's my sweet Skye who passed away 2 months ago? At any rate, we had the same problems with kids in the "hood" who wanted to come over and play once the puppies were old enough to be exercised daily and played with.  At first I thought, how cute, right? Puppies and little kids - what better picture! Well, the majority of kids were adorable, but there were always 1 or 2 sick ones who would smack the pups, smash and hold their heads in the dirt (a real common thing, but I don't know why - psychiatrist anyone).  At any rate, I finally had to ban the whole group due to the 1 or 2 creeps, had to call the police, the whole 9 yards, and that's EXACTLY what the police officer told me - next thing is there will be poison meat or a donut in the yard. He told me to always go out and patrol my yard, especially alone the fence line every day before I let the dogs out, particularly at night. I went out with a flashlight.  It was about a month later, but sure enough - poison meat.  Because there were so many kids involved, we obviously couldn't pin point the exact family, but the police went and read the riot act to them all. It would stop and not happen again for a year or so, but every now and again we would find something. My dogs were NEVER out and barking, so it was nothing like that - it was just over the puppies and the cruel kids.... Not trying to freak you, but that's the way these kids and their families are.  You can really judge someone's character by ill treatment of a PUPPY, of all things. And the parents??  They sound whacked.  Please be careful.

    racil feelings are coming out in this thread...and that is a shame.
    I know! You all sound like me
    We might have to start our own MT group --the morning, noon, and night MTs or something like that.:)

    I know your time is scarce so won't hold you. Just have to come here to give my ears a break from the dictation but back to work I go...
    you sound like a 2 and 3 yr old
    playing house
    It does sound bad, but I think

    We have these things going on all the time around us, but we just hear more about them now. And it seems since I have been watching Nancy Grace that there are many more unsolved murders and teens missing.


    This may sound very odd...
    but have you tried rubbing heated Castor Oil on your sore joints?

    I know. It sounds strange. My mother has severe arthritis and she read that "somewhere" and tried it and now she swears by it.

    Just trying to help.
    Ohh, I like the sound of that lol Tell me more.
    How do we find these hospitals?
    You can still have that sound!...sm
    You can download a free program and choose the sound you want your keys to make! They even have tap dance that my 11-year-old stepdaughter loves!

    I think it's a trial program, but I like the clickity click so much that I may purchase it. This was posted under the production category because it seems to make you type faster. It helps me with my rhythm I think.
