Golden Retriever! Love my golden! nm

Our Golden used to be that way sm
I found that if I ignored the storm and went about my daily routine, he calmed down. Also, if you have the tv on with the all the weather announcements that go beep, beep, beep, trying putting the tv on mute. I found the noise with those announcements drove him nuts. He's much better if he doesn't hear that constant beep, beep, beep. We also took him outside to see the sky, play in the rain, etc. It worked. He's no longer afraid. Lots of petting worked,too. Good luck!
Golden Isle

Does anyone know anything about Golden Isle medical transcription?


I have a Golden Retriever that needs her walk every day, sometimes
twice a day. I walk 2 miles daily and go to the gym at least 3x a week. No big butt here, although I have noticed things shift as we get a little older. I am 39 and my boobs shift to my armpits (LOL) Any exercises for them?

Question for anyone who has been with them long enough to form an opinion!  How is work availability and pay scale?  Do they offer vacation time?  If not, do they allow you to take a week off (unpaid) for vacation.  How flexible is scheduling? How are the QA people?  I have checked the archives and cannot find a whole lot.  Maybe a fairly new company? TIA!


Don't get hung up with the golden handcuffs. (SM)

It is so easy to convince yourself you cannot make as much money at a different company  or on a different account, or never find anything better, so you stay where you are, taking all the abuse in the world.  In management, this is called the Golden Handcuff, and they rely on it to keep the same employees, never give a raise, never give respect, and just continue to walk all over you.


In this profession you are very mobile if you can transcribe at all.  It may take a month to get used to a new system, a new account, or whatever, but your self respect is worth it in the end.  There are a lot of companies out there that actually do appreciate employees, and it certainly does not seem to be any of the companies who are mentioned frequently on these boards.


I changed jobs about a month ago, thought I would never learn, but in a week I was making far more with a small MTSO than I ever did with a large company.  Treat yourself to a new beginning and a new year. 


 


 


 


 


A 3yo yellow lab and a 2yo golden retriever. sm
Believe me, they keep me busy! The yellow lab is a freak about his rubber ball - has to have it with him every second or he goes crazy. The golden retriever is still very much a baby but is getting better. Both of these breeds are considered a "puppy" until they 3yo, so I'm patiently biding my time til they leave the puppy stage. I love them to death, tho, and can't imagine life w/o them. The lab is the absolute best dog I've ever had. Great with the kids, good protectors.
Golden Isles Transcription? sm

Can anybody tell me anything good or bad about Golden Isles Transcription.  They have an opening for oncology account.  Thinking about jumping out of the Medquist boat.  Anybody?

Yup - 80 lb golden retriever loves to lay right at my feet. sm
She also likes to lay right at my chair, so when I roll it, I am always on her tail or something. She drives me crazy too. She has to be everywhere I am. Love her to death tho! Don't want to be without her.

My Golden does that same exact thing every evening at the
exact same time, 9:30 p.m. This usually happens after she is finished eating. We leave her bowl down 24/7 and she eats whenever she is hungry, so food never became an issue. She tends to eat mostly in the evening around 9 PM and she gets energy spurts right after. How funny is that!

She is 4 years old and still plenty active. She is my best buddy though. Awesome breed, would never want any other.

Labs and retrievers must have exercise every day. We walk for at least 30 minutes with at least 15 minutes of free run for her in an open field.


Love my Golden!

Golden cuffs! sounds kinky or more like
socialism again.  Why doesn't the owner have a right to profit from his/her/their investiment?  This isn't a debate about what profit is acceptable and what isn't.    As another poster said, it isn't YOUR money on the line.  I bet you would B&M no what what job you did, who you did it for or what standards (or lack of standards) you would be held to or not wish to be held to.  You either get it or you don't.  This issue isn't confined to the MT business...which brings a question to mind...if you feel you are being mistreated, you must like it because you don't seem to be getting out of it!  I firmly believe in capitalism...what can I say, I'm a fan of Ben Franklin!
Everyone wanted me to wait, I just couldn't. We do have another dog, a golden, but he is my hubby's
dog. Just not quite the same. I like lap dogs and he weighs in at 120 pounds, too big for my lap. The two dogs get along great. The golden loves the fact that he now has someone to play with, as my other one was much too old to do anything but eat, sleep and potty, all in that order. There was quite a bit of adjustment, but it has worked out great.
When I was little I thought it was a giant golden potato chip- sm
we even called it that every year...don't remember how that got started though, funny now.
Thinking of applying at Golden Isles Medical Transcription..sm
Would someone with some inside information please email me?  I would like to know some particulars about this company before I think of applying for a job.  Would be interested in their platform, the type of accounts, their line rate, whether they require weekend work, and anything else you would care to share!  Thank you.
My neighbor had a golden lab that went to obedience school and was shot in their yard because of

sad for you girls
sounds like you ladies are finding your boys in all the wrong places.  MEN don't cheat.  BOYS cheat.  You need to find a MAN and then you will find yourself in a REAL relationship like never before and you will be HAPPY and have TRUST.  It CAN happen as it happened to me.  Good luck. 
My girls like me
Well, my girls like working for peaNUTS. Oh golly, my sense of humor has gotten the best of me, bad boy Frank.
mean girls
hope you never find yourself in a bad situation - you have no sympathy or regard for other humans
The girls are going down . . .
Kelly was soo bad. I think and hope it will be the three boys remaining. Katherine's dress was a little much wasn't it? She had visible panty lines. Chris was very sexy.
Mean Girls!

Well, here I go! Gotta vent.  We use IM to talk to the QA person and the boss for the small MTSO I work for.  Many times the boss will turn "Busy" on, so you can't ask her anything.  If she wants to talk to you, she will, but if she does not, she won't.  Same goes for the QA.  Sometimes I feel so small! I do not bug them unless I really need something, but apparently they feel I am bugging them too much.  Days go by that I never IM either one, so its not like every day I bug them! I feel very insignificant when they do this! Am I overly sensitive? 



yep...little girls are the best!! Glad I have 3 of them! Have fun! nm

re: View girls
I cannot stand the View girls. Who do they think they are! They act so high and mighty, especially Star Jones and Meredith whatshername! Please!
I think the girls forgot to ask you
if you were married and if you'd post a picture for them?  Just kidding....  It's just kind of funny to see how many responses you got from your post while new MT females get maybe one or two.  I know of a couple of dude MTs.  We had one in-house.  Poor guy. 
RadGuy not into girls
So what? Is there a problem with that?
Hey Crafty Girls
My niece wants to get into a hobby or do some crafts in her side time, but does not know where to begin.  She is a modernistic woman, age 30, not into the country motif, but wants to be crafty.  Any suggestions out there of where she might start or a craft kit I could get her for Christmas?  Thanks for any and all suggestions.
Several girls I work with do...
One has one on her ankle. Another has one in the small of her back. Another has one on her arm (like men usually do)...Personally, I think the one in the small of the girl's back is the cutest. Its just above where her low-riding jeans fit. I dated a guy who had one on his tush... a rose. He said he went through a bad divorce and then had it done thinking to himself some day he'd be somebody's rose...Now that I think back, shouldn't that have been the other way around??  LOL...Anyway, good luck, they say that hurt a bit, but they don't regret getting them. I, myself, am not into pain! LOL
26, 4&2 y/o girls, due with another girl 3/16
I was a nurse first with a neuroticism about spelling and documentation, so this was a good career move for me. It's not because I was chasing the work-at-home dream.
My boys were 3 1/2 and my girls were 2.

Cheerios in the toilet worked for me.  SINK THOSE BATTLESHIPS!!  :)


But both boys were 3 1/2 at least and when I was just about ready to give up, they just started using the bathroom as if nobody had ever told them a thing.


Pressuring and scolding are the 2 worst things you can do.  Just be laid back and all of a sudden one day, they are diaper free.  None of my 4 have ever had an accident or wet the bed since the day it kind of dawned on them.  Sort of like the day they learn to ride a bike without training wheels. :)


This too shall pass like water under the bridge.  No pun intended.  Now I'm buying diapers for my grandkids.


we are not all girls...but Bose is the best

Maybe she is only talking to the girls. (nt)

girls just wanna have fun; nm

Girls and women
That, in my humble opinion, is what separates the girls from the women. With all of the references we have at our fingertips (Google is WONDERFUL), if you know how to search, you can find what you need. As a success story in MT for over 35 years, I can honestly say that from day one (and yes, I had to learn over the years), I did my very best never to ask for help UNTIL I had exhausted every means available to me and had come up empty-handed. I realize that is much easier to do this when you do not work by the line and every minute is money in your pocket...or not if you are spending a lot of time looking things up.
Stop it. I can't leave you girls alone for a second. sm
I sure am glad I don't have to work with you all who post these PMS/menopausal rantings. 
yep, I go to Old Navy and look at their clothes for my girls
Or Wal-Mart and look at all the stuff I want!  that does it for me!
What's for dinner tonight girls?
s
Guess what, all three kids are GIRLS! and ....
the two youngest ones are in early puberty, so we have hormones dripping from the walls around here.  My husband threatens to move into a tent in the backyard once we're all "cycling"  LOL
Want to know what's for dinner tonight girls
I am making that 20-garlic recipe from below with mashed taters and salad and some homemade bread.  Yum. 
30, now at 9 years and 2 great little girls-nm

Done..also got girls in my office to sign

mine were both girls - and I even had to have a psychiatrist for - sm
one of them. Of course, you know how psychiatrists can be - always blaming the parents for the social dysfunctions of the beagle!
The teenaged girls in my neighborhood are

having a race to see who can have the most babies.  It's horrible.  They think of the babies as little pets or dolls, then dump them on their mothers to go out and party.  None of the girls has a high school education, job, driver's license or anything.  They have police records, too.  Four of the girls were over here one day wanting to use my phone, and one of them wanted me to feel her stomach to see if I thought she was pregnant.  She was disappointed later when she found out she wasn't.  I got onto soapbox mode telling them to finish their education or at least get a GED so they could support those babies.  Life's not easy being a young, uneducated mother.  They use the excuse that they have bad home lives, they just want someone to love them, they'll get a regular income with WIC, foodstamps, and welfare checks, or maybe even get their own house when low income apartments become available.  My goodness, their thinking is so messed up.  They don't even have a single clue in their little heads.  This isn't even the inner city.


I keep telling my boys to stay away from girls.  Save it for marriage or you're going to get trapped into fatherhood.


Eleven-year-old girls...
Boy, I guess they're all different.  My almost 18-year-old was a piece of cake, still very much a little girl at 11.  But this next one is totally different.  Sweet loving girl, good student, very attached to her family, but so bent on growing up faster (maybe it's having the older sister effect).  A few months ago her younger sister ratted on her that she was at a school function and was putting on eye make up.  So we had a talk with her about how she had symptoms of a disease, a disease called untrustworthiness, and that if she was going to sneak around and do things she knows we don't allow, then she wouldn't be allowed the privilege of doing certain things.  Today (speaking of lunch boxes), I was emptying out yesterday's lunch box and found a tube of lipstick out of my bathroom.  She said it was for her friends (which this experienced old mom doesn't buy for 2 seconds), then admitted it was for her too.  I know this is small potatoes now, but as Barney Fife used to say, you have to NIP IT IN THE BUD.  So I guess I better let my DH know and figure out what to do.  Today it's lipstick, tomorrow it's something much bigger. 
Anything that "The Girls Next Door" say

Little girls that age have been saying this forever. Don't worry! nm

Anyone see Gilmore Girls tonight? My VCR
I saw right up to the part where Rory went to April's mother's store and then nothing! 
Now, now,. No gold stars for little girls and boys
who have an ugly attitude. You might have to sit in the corner.
