Hi,


Wondering if anyone wants to get together in the chat room.  LOL, that sounds a little scary.  No seriously, I am always looking to see if anyone is in the chat room and never a person there.  Anyone interested in meeting in there for some chatting?


Chat room
I would be interested, may be we could get a group together at a specific time and share experiences?


Chat room
Everyone agrees they want to chat, but no one sets a time/place. Rather than private e-mails, lets set a time here for all to see. Tonight would have been good for me, but no one else committed. Possibly if a time were posted here, as the time approached more would check in. Let's try it. Tomorrow night 01/01/2007, 7:00 EST?
Did't Know There Was a Chat Room!!

In an internet chat room
I was in a chat room on AOL with my morning group of "Moms on Line" when another mom typed "OMG!!! Put on your t.v.'s everyone!" I rushed into the den and put on the t.v. and stood there staring at Tower 1 in flames. I listened for only about a minute as Charles Gibson talked about how it might have been an accident, when all of a sudden, the second plane came into view and crashed into Tower 2. I saw that live on t.v. and just screamed, all alone in the house. I knew right then that it was terrorism.

I live in the Philly 'burbs and about four times a year I drive up to JFK airport for one reason or another. Used to be that you drove over the Verranzano Bridge into B'lyn you could look to the left and see Manhattan and the twin towers. I am incredibly sad whenever I go over the bridge. The city looks changed and sort of scarred.

And another thing... it was such, SUCH a beautiful day on the east coast on 9/11/01. I mean it was gorgeous! I walked my kids to school that morning and thought to myself that it was one of the most gorgeous days I had ever seen. No clouds, no humidity, pleasant temp. Now, whenever we have another one of those, I think of 9/11 and how gorgeous that day was. :(
Christian chat room
Is there any christian chat rooms for medical transcriptionists?  I thought I saw one about a month ago and now I cannot remember the name of it.

A nice sunny room just for me in our finished lower level. Love my cocoon room.

I have never had my own room. I shared a room with my sister, went away to college sm
and had a roommate (whom I am still close to) for 4 years, moved back home and back to sharing a room with my sister while she went to a local college and then got married. In fact, after 17 years of marriage, this is the first time in my life that I have had my own dresser, not just the top two or bottom two drawers!

I could never live alone. Not for fear but for loneliness. I like my alone time but I love to have people around.


That reminds me of a new doc who sm
came on when I worked for the hospital. He wanted to impress everyone, too, with his dictation.Nothing was ever shorter than 20 minutes. One year later, his DC summaries were 30 seconds total and only after he was suspended for not dictating at all!  So, they do change, sometimes not for the better.
by the looks of him, he reminds me of --sm
pee wee herman! yuk. Since he already has some very wide gaps in his story, I am beginning to wonder if he is just looking for his 15 minutes of fame. I hope he is the one, but now I have my doubts. time will tell.
Reminds me again of having

The American workers took forever, did not show up when they were supposed to, used my bathroom, and demanded beverages (not water).  They wanted Pepsi.  All they did was complain about the heat and also broke the filter so my husband had to go buy a new one.  The cursed, brought their kids with them to play on the swingset in my backyard because they didn't have a sitter. 


The landscapers who were Mexican, were quick and I mean quick, worked hard, showed up when they were supposed to, never asked to use the bathroom, and never demanded beverages.  They brought their own.  I offered beverages, they declined.  They never curves, and their kids were left at home.  They finished the job, it was wonderful, and we recommended this particular landscaping company all over time.  I might add, they bid the job at half of the price of the 2-3 American landscaping companies we had come out.  Now, who do you blame?

Hey, there's great stuff in there.  Love Erma too! 
That reminds me of my dad
He said you NEVER ask anyone their salary, and if anyone had the nerve to ask you about yours, you had every right to lie to them! Tell them anything you wanted - the more obvious the lie, the better.

Ha! That reminds me
when I first starting hearing about Lipitor. I would always think of a boy's action figure and cartoon saying in a deep voice, "I am Lipitor!".
Reminds me of my "pet".
I kept feeling a little tickle on my leg.  I figured it was one of my stray hairs or the fringe from the blanket that's across my chair.  I looked down to find a huge nasty spider on my leg.  I screamed and slapped at it.  My shriek scared the heck out of the kids and made the dog go hide under the bed.
Your dog story reminds me of one of those
Amazing pet stories on Animal planet, about pets that end up adopting people and they actually turn out to do something extraordinary, it seems like she is there for a reason and even if you say you don't have much space, your love and attachement is obviously providing her with more than she had.....oh I'm a sucker on these cases.
Kellie just reminds me of....
yet another Baywatch cookie cutter stringy Barbie doll looking blonde.  Katherine is truly a beautiful young woman.  Maybe it's me, but I just don't find that bleach blonde look very distinctive.  They all look alike to me.  And yes, she's either a very good actress or dumb as a box of hair.  Okay, I can understand being from a place where people don't eat a certain kind of food as a rule "SAL-mon", but to have never heard of a fish called a salmon?  Exactly what rock has she been living under?
Ah, so! Poor doc. Reminds me of one of my...sm
docs who butchers the English language. I called him on repeatedly spelling a term incorrectly (course rather than coarse) and he relied "I was a pre-vet major, not an English major!"

Sorry about the misunderstanding!
Reminds me of systems
I've worked on that used Citrix; not being computer savvy, I don't know if they called it a Citrix server or what, but apparently it was a company that they used for some part of the process, and it was not compatible with the software. They I think they had to switch to some other company to speed things up.

That should be about as clear as mud. Sorry.
This reminds me of a story.

My son has scoliosis and on one of our visits to the orthopedist, he was dictating while we were in the room. At one point, he grabbed the films in the same hand as his recorder to throw them up on the light wall. I just said, "Do you realize that your transcription did not hear anything you said while that x-ray was in your hand?" He just gave me a blank kind of look so I explained that I was an MT and said that if he was having a lot of blanks in his dictation when it was returned, that might be the reason why.


I never heard whether or not it made a difference for the MT or not--he wasn't such as good orthopedist, either, so we changed practices after that.


that reminds me: I had to share my
workstation with a girl on days; she had very long hard nails (admit to being green with envy here!) and it wasn't long before she only only wore off the letters, she managed to poke holes through the keys! I demanded a new keyboard because of safety concerns due to shock hazard.
Oh yeah, that reminds me....
Well over 20 years of this work has also left me hard of hearing! :D
It really is, isn't it? Reminds me of ShamWow

"Who is it?" --- Reminds me of a joke ...
one of the oldest around:

The man leaves his apartment. His parrot is in inside. While he is gone, the plumber arrives. He knocks on the door. The bird answers, "Who is it?" "It's the plumber; I've come to fix the sink." No reply. The plumber knocks louder. "Whoooo is it?" the bird asks. In a little irritated voice, "It's the PLUMBER, I've come to fix the sink!". No reply. The plumber BANGS on the door. "Whooooo is it?" the bird asks calmly. "IT'S THE PLUMBERRRRR, I'VE COME TO FIX THE SINK" the plumber screams. No reply. The plumber, in his fit of rage, falls to the floor dead with a heart attack. The man who lives in the apartment returns. He finds the plumber dead at the door. He opens the door and says, "Who is it?" "It's the plumber. He's come to fix the sink" the bird says.

LLMAAAOOOO

ROFL Your post reminds me...SM
Not too long ago, I had my last nerve plucked out by my two boys, teenagers, when they were griping for me asking for a little bit of help around the house. Not much, mind you. Just a little. Their nastiness just got the best of me. Good thing too, though!

I turned off the AC vents in their rooms, made a list of 20 jobs around the house I wanted done, sent them to their rooms with the lists and started cooking...cooking their favorite dinner. I told them they had to stay in their rooms, doors shut, and would have no AC nor any food until they decided they could shut up and get those 20 jobs done. No food, no comforts of lying on the couch, watching TV, in cool air -- all of which I provide -- until they got the work done and without one nasty word about it.

Took about an hour and their warm bedrooms and stomachs growling at the smell of dinner had them out of their rooms and got it done!
Reminds me of a friend who worked
for an attorney. He used to fire her regularly cuz he had a nasty temper. One day he goes of the office and she wasn't there. He called her at home and yelled at her because she wasn't at work and couldn't understand why she did what she was told to do.
reminds me of "don't get your panties
x
Yep, reminds me of a friend of mine
who lost her job as a travel agent (due to technology, Expedia, Cheap Tickets, etc.) and refuses to work for less than $35,000 a year. Says it's "beneath her."

Well she has no other skills, and is uneducated except for a 6-month travel course at a community college, so how could anyone expect to call the salary shots in that situation?

I agree. You gotta do what you gotta do. Sometimes life hits you hard, but it's up to you to accept it or start over with an education.

If you choose not to "accept" a job that pays less, even temporarily, that's your problem, not the government's.
Reminds me of my late father-in-law....
He totally controlled the money (he figured he earned it all, so why not) and doled out "household money" to my MIL like Ricky and Lucy Ricardo did.  This continued until he died 18 MO ago, so I'm not talking about a by-gone time.  Meanwhile, up until he quit smoking, he was buying 3 to 4 packs a day plus stopping at the bar every day on the way home from work.  He never did stop drinking and I can only imagine the money he spent on that over their 40 yr marriage, while she's trying to run the house on her "allowance" and she could never take a dime out without his permission beyond the money he gave her.  Sheeesh (eyes rolling).  Thank God it didn't rub off on their son or I'd be a single woman by now.
That word just reminds me of Napoleon
Dynamite. LUCKY! Thanks for the laugh whether intentional or not. That word will never be the same for me after that movie. Tee hee.
Nawwww, Taylor reminds some of us

Reminds me of a 55 minute long DS I had...for..
a two-day long hospital stay!
Reminds me of having to sleep with the TV going all the time
Some time ago I slept in a room like that- even had a sleep study done because could not keep my eyes open during the day- I was not getting the good sleep I should have been getting, don’t have to go through that anymore!
I totally agree, it reminds me of lawyers. nm

That's what I think - reminds me of the Seinfeld where Elaine was dating one
She kept calling him a doctor, and Jerry told her he wasn't even an M.D.
