In college in the room next to our, they would blast Grateful Dead music all day - sm
we retaliated by blasting AC/DC. They got the point and stopped blaring their music. I'd pound on the walls and ask her to keep it down because you are trying to work, might help, it she gets louder and more obnoxious I'd call the police, disturbing the peace and all. She won't appreciate it but it would sure make a point, and if she kept it up you just keep calling the police. Good luck.
You never saw "The Sound of Music"?
According to the song, Maria was a flibbertigibbet.
The sound clip is internet based, like music, play and stop.
Teletrak has position available for PT work. Taking the test without foot pedal though is difficult and I wondered if I were just slow (20 yr long MT) or if others would consider this test also a daunting task.
Thanks
Hey Forrest City (sm)
I grew up close to there and attended high school at FCHS. Wonder if we knew each other?

Are you sure you are not me?
No TV, no music, nothing. Music and TV cause me to daydream. nm

ICs are a bane on MTSO society.
Legally, they are an uncontrollable resource. They tend to be prima donas who have never seen the inside of a BOS, much less read one. They work. They don't work. They don't care. In a business where TAT and quality are key, they are a production and QA nightmare. Yeeees, there are wonderful IC MTs out there, and you should be (and hopefully are) treasured by your contractors. I admire your work ethic. However, you are the exception to the rule.
I've been in management for two nationals who have decided during my tenure to take on ICs. The top brass see this as a GLORIOUS concept, but the rest of us see the decision as a QA nightmare and a production hell.
JMHO.
Try a St. Vincent De Paul Society (nm)

Nat'l Humane Society Disaster Relief
Just watched the rescue of doggies, kitties and birdies with 1700 animals rescued. My wallet just got a couple dollars lighter. Poor little things.
Oh, don't you know that it's society's fault these people are criminals???

trying to re-enter society and failing miserably
After 11 years at home minding my own business, having a fairly peaceful life, seeing people when I wanted to, not because I had to, i've become quite spoiled. I find that when i'm around new people, (trying to go to school) i'm easily annoyed and have no sense of humor like I used to. I've completely changed. I feel like a stick in the mud judgemental person, but people laughing annoys me and makes me tighten up rather than join in like I used to. I can't stay in my MT hole forever, but I feel like cousin IT amongst society now. Will this get better??? I miss my old self! I used to be FUN!
I am heavy by society's terms. I weigh
about 210 and am 5'6" tall. Every single female in my family tree for generations had the exact same body habitus. We are all German with big bone structures. I cannot lose weight - period. Been there, tried and done that save for gastric surgery. It is genetic in my case. Seriously, it really can be. I am totally comfortable with my body and how I look - I even love clothes, shoes, jewelry, until....I have to go to the doctors for anything - a hang nail, and its because I'm -- OBESE -- you name it, a cough - its because of that. And THAT makes me MAD! My cholesterol is normal, I don't have high BP and am 50. I am what I am what I am, and am happy with it until the med profession makes me feel like pond scum. All my relatives also lived into their 80s and 90s, the old healthy as a horse body types. I am super strong and in shape. I guess you get the picture. I have no arthritis, either, or any of the normal problems of mid life. I also drink milk - I LOVE MILK. I would probably lose 10 pounds max if I eliminated milk, but then I feel sick and run down. Its been a long time until I did get happy and satisfied with my body structure, but I still honestly hate doctors for their bias. And sometimes it is bias.
Maybe you local Cancer Society unit would have suggestions? nm

YOU ARE DEAD ON ABOUT OSi
The lunatic department head you are talking about is the reason I left that department AND OSi once she finally got her pie in the sky promotion and knocked a bunch of much more qualified people down along the way.
Imagine being the best at your job and being usurped by someone on a power trip whose main goal is to try to convince everyone how great she is because she basically doesn't know what the hell she is doing.
I know how to do my job and don't need some hick micromanaging me and breathing down my neck all the time.
If she were knowledgeable, she would organize her department with enough people to make it function properly, then leave them alone and let them do her job.
She is the biggest joke of a "manager" I have ever seen.
Good riddance, OSi!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He can't be dead......
Maybe Uncle June's gonna get on the phone with 9-1-1 and maybe give him mouth to mouth??? haha. Will be interesting to see how they're going to explain that next episode...he was pretty much gone there! And if it's another panic attack and he passed out and dreamed it AGAIN, not watching it anymore. Love the show, but those dreams, like the one in the beginning where Carmella was chatting with dead *Aide* are getting a little old...don't ya think???
Can't be dead.....
I agree with you about the dream gimmick - worn out.
However, there is a theory out there that this episode is actually the last episode of the series and that the 19 more that are to come - 11 this year and then 8 next year - will show us how all these situations evolved.
Dead End...not well-known, had
never heard of it before, but it is a good ol' suspense, kind of frightening movie with a weird ending. Would watch it again if they would play it again.
He's not dead, if that's what you mean. ..
n
now they say 130 are dead
and 300 injured due to terrorist attacks. I hope and pray they catch the ones responsible. Those poor people. 
I am dead serious.
I am sick of being treated like a third class citizen whle so other bozo is making tons of money off my work. Let's unite!!! Why do we need them, we can do this on our own!!??
Dead right! sm
For one of my graduate classes in Competitive Intelligence, I ran an operation against a private security company, starting with nothing but the name of the company.
Before I was through, I had discovered (strictly from public sources) that the CEO of this private security company was also on the board of a Saudi Arabian company, of which other board members were on the "watch" list of Homeland Security.
I knew where this company did its banking and about two significant loans it had defaulted on. I knew that one of the corporate executives, a male, had changed his last name just after arrest reports were recorded in the same county for an individual with the same "old" name (which was quite an unusual name).
I knew this and many, many "inside" details about the company's internal operations.
...starting with nothing but the name of the company.
What's in a resume? Your name, your address, your phone number, where you attended high school/college, former employers and perhaps other information about your hobbies, etc. Give me your resume, and I guarantee you I'll wind up with your SS#.
you know you are in a dead-end job when.....
you cannot get any type of pay increase after 2 years....sigh.....not surprised but it just depresses me. This is not a good way to start the new year. I am finding it hard to stay motivated. Ok, thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
I'm an MT; I know what a dead end job is! LOL. n/m

that's dead on the money
I have version 3 of Instant Text and used that to create phrase files of 4 words or more and then imported them into the different medical modules that I have. Between that and running the Accuracy Center every couple of months, I was able to get my accuracy to almost 100%, as long as I dictate the way I'm supposed to and the words are in the dictionary.
DH went out shopping later in day and said it was dead.

I keep thinking he's not dead, just (sm)
maybe in a coma for the whole season or something. Don't know if I can get my "fix" of the Sopranos if he's gone.
Top 10 dead end jobs....
Article in CareerBuilders
This was one of a few clerical positions that were listed as the tope 10 dead end jobs. I really am thinking of doing something else now.
Word Processors and Data-Entry Keyers
This sector of workers is expected to decline due to the proliferation of personal computers. Employment growth of data entry keyers will still be dampened by productivity gains, as various data-capturing technologies, such as bar code scanners, voice recognition technologies and sophisticated character recognition readers become more prevalent. In addition, employment of these workers will be adversely affected by businesses that are increasingly contracting out their work.
top 10 dead end jobs
Koudos to you!!! any person who is burnedout in any job should persue another avenue! I think it is great that you have taken that step to better your life and pursue happiness. It takes great courage to leave a comfortable situation and start a new path.
It's "keel" over dead,,,,,

Except he is dead and can't talk.

Nope -- He was dead serious.
I don't think so. He was dead serious saying there were new contacts available approved for 24-7 wear. This was when I first walked in -- did not even begin the exam. He wasn't smiling or saying it in a joking way at all. That alone made me uneasy. He seemed -- not all there if you know what I mean. And the longer I was there the more I felt that way. Also I should mention he tested both eyes together not right and then left and I have never not had my eyes checked individually. I know my right eye is a different prescription than my left. Also, I went to Sears for glasses prior and they always use that machine to measure the distance of pupils to make the glasses -- this wasn't done either. All round it was a horrible experience. There was another woman there complaining of these same things only she paid over $300.00 and they were refusing to give her a refund as well. Why should we be forced to pay for eye wear we cannot see out of? I will never return there again -- still intent to fight for the rest of my money though! Stay away, far, far, away from this place.
music
I am a child of the 80's and felt like I couldn't be burdened with finding gigs. I am an accomplished pianist (A little rusty at 43) but I love music where there is only piano playing. Does DH like Elton John, Billy Joel, (ok - stretch -KC & JoJo's version of Lately), and Stevie Wonder. Nothing like a man and his piano.
Can't get into her music?
I don't know why not. Her and Mellancamp sound just as bad.
Aah, music...
 Taking a break. Listening to some tunes to relax. I think some other people should too. Anyone ever heard of Jill Scott or Erykah Badu? Common? 
Yay! Me too! MUSIC!
I agree with that, music makes my world so much brighter! I throw on some Stevie Wonder and I can't help but cheer up!
Music
Yep, I love the 50's-60's music. Makes me want to move.
music sm
I have a 5-disc CD changer that goes all day while I am working. All music types. I love it! Need the extra noise!
music
I like total quiet while transcribing. But if I'm doing some other kind of "busy" work in my office like filing or more of a data-entry-type job I can do mindlessly, I find that some classical, light jazz or easy-listening type music helps me be more productive.
There would be nine dead dogs if this happened to me.
Really. Sad to say but I would find some way to eliminate these dogs if no one is willing to do anything. They are a health hazzard and a nuisance at this point. 
There would be two dead pit bulls in my neighborhood
If this happened to me. What if this was a child. I can't believe no one does anything about this in your community.
yeah but mr. ed is dead from head to toe.
whereas your ex-husband could still be of some service on a desert island, no?
dead town-ban WM stores
A little over 20 years ago WM opened in our town even though they had a Howard's at that time and put them out of business. Our nice town also had a sporting goods store, fabric store, several pharmacies, several local clothing stores and pool supply place. The only one that survived were the pharmacies. WM moved out a little over a year ago. Now we have to go 30 miles to find anything that we can't find in a dollar store. Not only do we have a big empty building that they left, now we will have another empty building that a chain grocery store is leaving because WM built super stores in the surrounding towns that use to shop in our nice little town. I suspect it will take years, if ever, to recover. Our only hope is that we have good leadership in our community.
dead brain regarding digital!
Trying to switch all my clients to digital, but first I need some help with it! Using the free ES wav player. One of the drs are going to email me the files and the other is going to use a FTP site. I dont know the first thing about transcribing files "digitally" Any instructions would be really appreciated!
Thanks ya'all!
U don't wanna know. Just hope he is dead or someone
But I feel (or smell) your pain. My son works at KFC and I swear I won't let his uniform come in contact or even be washed with any other laundry... peee euuuwww!! It actually has its own very distinctive scent...
Finally finished, no dead air.
She will be dead from cirrhosis in a few years probably then - nm

No good dead goes unpunished...
lol... I am sure if your company is reading this, they will not send anything next year.
If you are unhappy - leave, but I have honesty never heard of someone complaining about a Christmas gift.
Unbelievable
Ok, now they're saying the kid isn't dead. This story gets
crazier as the minutes pass. Kids are going nuts because the kid that was shot lives next street over. Home schooling next and a move coming up.
I smell a dead cat on the line.... so to say.
Such as in "another woman."
