Thank goodness we didn't have wallpaper in our house.

The person who lived here before us had a thing for pastel colors and paneling, though. The living room was blue, master bedroom purple, 1st bedroom pink, 2nd bedroom lavender, kitchen peach, laundry room yellow, and bathroom gray. The carpets and curtains were all different colors to match, too. We lived with the ugly paneling in the living room for years before deciding to rip it down and put up sheetrock. We were pleasantly surprised to find a perfect sheetrocked wall behind the paneling.

Goodness, if you didn't know about the command feature, you really need to
spend some time on the Productivity Talk board for tons of ideas.
We didn't install ours, came with the house, but I learned...
something today... If it's bitter cold outside and your woodstove is keeping your house warm, the water in your pipes (if you have steam heat) can freeze anyway because the thermostat never calls for heat and the water sits and can freeze in the pipes that are close to outside walls. Other than that danger, it's great. It never got over 15 today and our house was a gorgeous 75 degrees. You have to keep an iron kettle full of water on top so it will boil and put some moisture back into the air. Some people are bothered by wood stoves, but fortunately we are not. Also, I would get a stove with a blower on it (we do) to help push the hot air out into the room.
I was working in-house, but didn't know 'til I arrived. - sm
Was having the nicest, QUIETEST morning up until then, too! (Didn't realize this was largely due to no jets flying overhead, as I live along the flight path for both SFO and Oakland Int'l. airports.)
I believe the phone had rung around 6:00 AM, (my sister calling to ask if I'd heard the news), but I tuned it out, turned over, and went back to sleep. Never checked my messages, either. I never turn on the TV before work, and it as a gorgeous fall day. I lived near where I worked, and decided to ride my bike to work that day. As I was riding along a street that bordered a creek, I remember thinking was a PEACEFUL morning it was.
So I get to work, and as I arrive at my workstation, feeling all smiles & calmness and 'coombayah', a co-worker asks if I've heard what happened. I just assumed the system was down again, which happened often there.
So then she says, no - New York was attacked. I thought she was joking, and then my sister reached me and was breathlessly telling me what happened. She said a jetliner had hit the World Trade Center. 'How can that be an attack?' I asked, 'There must've been something wrong with the plane or the pilot or something.' But she said no, she was watching live coverage of the aftermath of the 1st tower on TV, and actually saw the 2nd plane hit the second tower. She'd called because she heard one was headed for San Francisco (the one that went down in Pennsylvania).
Anyway, for the next couple days it was weird to drive past SFO and see NO planes taxiing on the runway, and to pass it at night and not see the lineup of jet headlights headed from East to West towards the main runway. Although I have to admit it was rather nice not to have to listen to planes overhead for a couple of nights, now when I hear a jet, it's sort of a relief. If a long time passes where I don't hear a jet overhead, I start to get nervous......
Wallpaper..
Surface of Mars with the moon on the left.
And what is today's wallpaper?
For today's eye candy I have a lovely sandy beach with turquoise water. I need to get off the beach theme thingy but I like to sneak a peak in the middle of working and mumbling doctors and stuff - then its back to the salt mines!
What's your computer wallpaper today?
Mine is a tropical island with lovely blue ocean and sailboat - total bliss.
same wallpaper as last time you asked

Wallpaper, gotta vent.
We just moved into our newly bought house last month and thankfully there was only 1 room with wallpaper in it, a bathroom. This stuff was put up 19 years ago when the house was built, so it was put in BEFORE the medicines chest, toilet, lights, etc. Why is somebody else's wallpaper always so gawd-awful? It's never anything you can live with. So there I stand night after night ripping and pulling and spraying with DIF trying to get this mess down. Then, to top it all off, it's leaving a rubber glue residue on the wall that isn't even noticeable until you roll your paint over top of it. Then it starts curling up. WHY DO PEOPLE WALLPAPER BATHROOMS? It will be so nice when I'm done, redoing the bathroom in a lighthouse theme, but I may lose my marbles before I get it done.
Can you describe the wallpaper ;-) Not for any other reason than...

Sorry - please indulge me once more - one more groovy wallpaper...

I love my Wallpaper Calendar
Link below. You can make it semi-transparent so that you can have a nice wallpaper background. It is ALWAYS there and you can set it to show as many as 9 weeks at a time.
They have a free 30-day trial and after that it costs $30, but I think it's worth every penny.
Just one more wallpaper - 1969 Abbey Road
Another far out pic!

Oh my goodness!! sm
You don't know what you're asking for! Take it easy? Your aching fingers may not ache so much but I can promise you will trade aching fingers for a seriously aching HEAD. A GOOD supervisor will work twice as hard and twice as long as she/he will ever ask of anyone working under her/him. If you're looking for easy street please do yourself a favor and forget looking for a supervisory position. (Unless of course you have the wherewithall to buy out Frank) maybe then you could vacation in the Bahamas and just count your cash.
My Goodness!
You are so funny. It's good to have a laugh at these morons' expense.
Oh my goodness sm
Yes, they're always still young 'uns, my youngest is 36 but still my baby and I'm the only one in the world allowed to call him "Billy." LOL Your post just so reminded me of my kids, I guess. 2 boys and 2 girls. I've started Christmas baking and I guess I'm missing the 8 little hands "helping me." Doing it now in perfectly orderly fashion with no flour all over the kitchen. The big ones and the little grandkids are far away so I wouldn't mind a little noise, but believe me, I know how aggravating it can be with the crappy dictators. I've been having some of those myself (it's a full moon ya know). On the good side, I can swear at my computer screen as loud as I want and today that has been PRETTY loud. Hope tomorrow will be better for you.
My goodness...
Now I want a housekeeper! LOL
Wonder if I'll ever be able to trust one again? I guess we have to take chances, right? LOL
Well thank goodness for that!
Nobody in the MT world deserves that much money. It's absolultely disgusting if executives can make that much at any company, considering it's the little people who do all the REAL work. The only executives deserving of that kind of salary are the ones who are out of the country half the year on business or actually doing something to better the company in a huge way. That is what is wrong with this country, they pay way too many useless people way too much money.
Thank goodness!
I almost thought that votefortheworst.com website was working!
Well, goodness.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get over. You're the one using the bold font, all caps, underlining, and 'way more exclamation points than anyone really needs. That looks like someone on the edge of hysteria to me.
Oh, and the wagging finger image was a nice touch. It added just that little hint of looniness that might otherwise have been missing.
Thanks for the laugh. This thread has been a hoot.
I work with a couple of people like you who prefer to work themselves into a state of towering rage and indignation rather than simply take the one simple step that would solve their problem. They're funny, too. They provide the rest of us with an never-ending source of entertainment.
Looking forward to further posts from you. One can always use a good laugh.
Oh goodness!
 I tell you, the day I have my belly button pierced will be the day I get my nose pierced, with a big thick gold ring through my nostrils like those women in the Indian tribes in Africa have! hehehehehe! And at the same time I do that, I'm just going to go completely for broke and have them pull my bottom lip down below my chin and stick a gold ring in that, too!
Oh my goodness
Honestly I don't think they did all they could do as the spokesman says. Because if these 2 girls had an "uncanny resemblance" then the officials would have known that from pictures/ID of the girls....and then someone should have said "Hey, they look A LOT alike, maybe we should confirm the identities". Sounds like the truckdriver may not have been the only one "asleep at the wheel". Very, VERY sad. But happy for the other family. I can't even imagine. Thanks for sharing the article.
Wow! 15 to 20? Oh my goodness! nm

Thank Goodness No
I think I have a a well balanced life with working at home. I do activities with my two daughters when they're home from school (one is in pre-school two full days a week). My husband and I go out withotu the children as well as take them on various activities. I also have a best friend that lives across the street and we usually go do things with them alone or with their children and our children most weekends, especially in the summer. My neighborhood is filled with children and in the summertime all the neighbors are out socializing. I used to call our neighborhood party central. LOL.
Oh my goodness, I have one
just like that. She is a case manager of pysch, and tehy are always at least 20-minute dictations filled with ummm, ummm, ummm, no change that, no sorry, ummm, ummm! Drives me crazy!
My goodness
I've had that procedure done. I do not think it would be very pleasant without anesthesia.
Thanks goodness
Good for you, for quitting and getting a better job. I have not time for impolite and unprofessional behaviour. No wonder they don't have much work. You are better off well shut of them. If you can be bothered, I would write a letter, more or less as you wrote here, about your experience with them, sort of a let them know how THEY are doing note. They need to learn a few things obviously.
Glad to hear you will no longer be a slave to that company. Hope you are getting out more now! This work can be addictive. We can be used and abused. Make your own music gal! Good luck to you!
Thank goodness!
Thank goodness those things don't do a very good job. At least we will have some form of transcription jobs around for awhile yet.
That reminds me of something funny though. Have you ever had someone start speaking of something you weren't expecting (I mean in person ... just normal conversation or at a business or something), and it just totally sounded like a foreign language or something? Like, you just could not even grasp something for a point of reference to figure it out? - I used to have that happen with a girl I worked with once in awhile (both ways). It is freaky but very funny once you figure out what the person is saying. :)
Oh, goodness...
Nobody is jumping down your throat. If you are going to fight this, you need more than basic understanding of the issue at hand. Why don't you try visiting Public Citizen's Web site and see if they can help you? There are already activist communities out there who already understand how to make effective changes. Regarding HIPAA, you will receive a lot more help over at ahima.org than you will on any MT site. Go over there and see if you can talk to somone who actually understands HIPAA and let them explain the details to you. You can also visit the US Department of Health and Human Services site. Anyway, it's your effort to organize, so really you should be the one who is telling us what sites to visit.
Me too!! Thank goodness that has gone up since then!

I am sure others have goodness, plus sm
unless you have the original audio and report prior to sending, who really knows who made the error/edit changed by QA or the dictator merely recognized their own mistake and wanted it fixed for the record.
Not making excuses, not at all, or trying to make you feel better, but this is just a reality, the MT has no real protection without the above mentioned originals.
Well of course we know that now. Back then we didn't because he didn't allow unfettered access.
c
right we children didn't tattle to the administrator did we. BTW, didn't you think we were &#
because some half-witted idiot said everyone was jealous because some other anonymous poster said they were going to be a doctor. Didn't they call it doctor envy. Oh yeah, that was all about you wasn't it busy-body MT. You with your degree and premed but yet you still post here and acuse others of jealously. I dunno but you and dano seem so close, I can't put my finger on it but I would say you could be computer clones. Jealous indeed. Children indeed. I think you are blowing your covers) dano and busy body MT. This whole "jealously" thing makes me think that you may be one and the same poster.
I didn't go into labor until 2.5 weeks later, so it didn't work. Sorry!...nm

Goodness, how condescending! SM
Don't know any better? Really. Do tell.
I've worked in quite a few different jobs and fields over the years - and yes, professional white-collar jobs. I'm happy where I'm at (a large national), thank you very much.
I make good money (VERY good for where I live), benefits are comparable (if not slightly better than most), and I could not ask for better conditions. Pay is ALWAYS on time. My supervisor leaves me alone to work but is there when I need her. I have a HUGE variety of accounts available to me when work is low or when I'm bored with what I'm doing.
Why on earth would I change?
To my goodness-You can hold your own
here! Hats off to you!
OH MY GOODNESS. I would most definitely shred everything.
That is unnerving. Bless your heart.
My goodness, you are amusing. nm
.
My goodness! You always have to have the last word, don't you?
I thought you were done with this two posts ago.
Oh my goodness I forgot about the sm
"red surgical book." That was the first edition of The Surgical Word Book. I gave mine away when the next one came out and I have regretted it ever since! I think I told someone in a different post about learning to type on Olivetti manual typewriters but reading your note, I remember they were Royal typewriters!
Oh my goodness - I had no idea that
it could mean not only how many years they smoked - sometimes I wondered what age they started when it was such a large number (like 40) but it makes sense now that it could be divided in half. Thanks so much for explaining that. - Laurie
Thank goodness he is behind bars
There is no punishment severe enough for someone like that.
And to think he was a teacher :-(
I always believed Patsy and, as a mother, couldn't imagine being falsely accused the way she was. How awful. And to die before her name was cleared. Sad, so very sad. Thank goodness she knew the case was progressing and a clear suspect was being investigated. May Patsy and JonBenet both rest in peace. Bless the family.
what?where? Not where I live, thank goodness
in south Florida !!! Thanks goodness for that! *big smile*
Oh my goodness, Sharon! sm
I live in Lewisburg, PA too!!! Too funny! 
Oh my goodness! That's a lot of coffee.
I recently cut my coffee intake from three large cups a day to, most days, none. For me, the big reason is that I sugar/cream it to death, and thought I might lose a few pounds. I also do not think that my brain works right when I've had that much coffee.
Trying to move to green tea sweetened with honey, and not three large cups. (LOL)
Thank goodness, if I had to work
anymore and worry about a job such as MT, I would hate that, but then I would be younger and might want to try something else. I am sooooooooo glad I am retirement age and if pushed, i.e. like lack of work, can go that route although would like to continue working for now.
I'm not required to but I do and thank goodness! sm
I've received emails over the last two days from doctor's offices asking about missing reports. I had sent the reports they were missing...I just sent them again...QA said it was probably on their end...well it would have to be, because I had everything completed that I was assigned and turned in before the required time.
Thank goodness because you just made
Thank goodness you caught it and not QA
thanks for the chuckle
I haven't, thank goodness, but... sm
You can tell when me moves it from one side of his mouth to the other because his speech gets even more garbled. 
My goodness, what a temper.

oh my goodness...I am so sorry. hang in there. sm
Sometimes it's a blessing in disguise.
Hugs all around.
