Spinning my wheels? I own

a transcription service and I have for about 15 years and I have been very successful in this business, money wise.  And I also am close to getting my degree that I didn't finish years ago; I'm back in school full time AND running my business.  I wouldn't call that spinning my wheels.


 


We used to think something similar to a hamster cage

would be good, with all the tubes, etc.  We could fill it with M&M's and just put our mouths on it and suck them out - another HANDS FREE SNACK


wow, my brain is spinning with this info!

i will go over it and read through again when i have more time. 


thanks for the info!


LOL. Loved the spinning "ball" on the Selectrics. nm

I've heard of hamster release (sm)
but it's involved in an ER note to include removal of foreign body from the lower GI system.


Spinning, flashing graphics are so 1995. Yuck. - nm

Just because you're apparently satisfied with spinning your wheels and
that doesn't mean that if someone younger has more ambition and wants to advance in this profession that she shouldn't be your supervisor.

You said you didn't WANT to be a supervisor, so does that mean that no one should be your supervisor for the rest of your life then unless they're 80 years old?

The hamster release I typed was on a pediatric neurology note. nm
:P
Why re-invent the wheel?
There are at least three excellent schools for medical transcription that are available to anyone who wants to become an MT. They are listed under the SCHOOLS category for this website - M-Tec, Andrews, and CareerStep. When you need to hire someone, you can contact the schools for their graduates and then you won't have to train your employees. And whenever anyone asks you about how to become an MT, refer them to those schools. Then we'll all get what we need - a larger pool of well-trained American MTs.
You need to find a new wheel.
You have too many broken spokes.
No need to reinvent the wheel. nm

Better than that, the wheel eraser with the little brush. nm

Hold down CTL key & scroll up/down with wheel on mouse.

Yes, it's microwave popcorn - best invention since the wheel! - nm

Your are wrong again: I would never hire a 'squeaky wheel',,,nm

Hi, Clara: Thanks a lot for your tip with the Control key and the mouse wheel...sm
That's great, didn't know that, learned somehing new today, thanks!
Hold down on the Ctrl key and scroll your mouse wheel.

If for some reason it stays permanent they do make a contraption that you put the dog in with wheel
So the dog still uses its front legs but the wheels in the back act as the dogs "legs" and it can still get around and be mobile, kind of like a dog wheelchair so to speak. I hope he feels better this morning.
Yes - if you have a mouse with a roller wheel you can hold down the control key on your keyboard the
or roll the mouse wheel backwards to decrease print size. This will also work on some web pages. Really great.
Offshore typed hamster release instead of hamstring release. As long as work is offshored,
:P

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

Drop dead.

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.
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
