Too bad she's not in the same room with you

Posted By: Me on 2006-09-14
In Reply to: Cherry pickers really make me angry! SM - BeFair!

so you could ask her if there was something you could help her with so you could both get back to knocking out the reports.

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.


NO, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM
in the insane asylums for all us newbies !!!!!!
Seriously,I do turn the speed up one notch from the middle for one or two excellent dictators, but any more than that, and most dictators would sound like chipmunks!!
I have room -- do you?

Looking at all of those thousands of displaced, hardworking, honest people and families you have to know that their homes and jobs are simply gone.  They will need to start over elsewhere.


Can someone create an information bank of those of us willing to offer housing availablity (such as an extra bedroom) on a short-term basis.  Sort of a temporary arrangement for the family to have shelter and food while looking for a new job/home etc?


Is there an agency for this?


I'm a room mom too...I always sm

order from Oriental Trading Company.  Tons of inexpensive crafts for all ages.  Sometimes the teacher will take up a 50 cent or 1 dollar donation from each child to cover the cost, but generally I just pay for it myself and write it off as a donation.

I have my own room
used to be the third bedroom. Just recently budget decorated (yard sale finds, etc) it in a moderate retro look, black/gray computer, black accessories, peach wall and funky 1950s barkcloth curtains and bulletin boards (can't live without a place to tack up reminders, etc), black iron and oak bakers rack, painted a tall chest of drawers black to hold office supplies, black bookcase and two dark oak desks. Sounds kinda of dark with all the black, but it is realy quite light with the peach on the walls. Going for a more clean, streamlined look (Previously had country birdhouse decor). Even with my own office, I'm constantly fighting paperwork!! Ugh!
When I was room mom.....
I coordinated parties, helped out with field trips, that sort of thing. I had student names and their parents and telephone numbers so I could call around if I needed help with something (like a Christmas party). Also, to introduce yourself, send a note home with each child introducing yourself and letting them know if they have questions, they can call. I had parents call me just to find out my thoughts on different things going in the class. I loved being room mom. You get to know the kids. Also, let the teacher know that you are available to help her. Good luck!!
room mom

Oh boy, does that bring home memories! I was not a success....the first thing you do is take a Valium an hour before you go! Seriously though, talk to your co-mom, then the teacher, ask her about the dos and don'ts of parties, etc. I think the thing that got me the worst was the little chairs I had to sit on! Lot of trouble getting down on one, then getting up!


The little ones (I'm talking kindergarten) are excited to be there, they get noisy, and there are a lot of them! Also, there are always one or two that cry at first, one might go somewhere and cover up with a blanket and stay there the entire time, sucking his/her thumb! Of course, somebody always wets their pants or worse in the beginning. I thought I would lose my mind, but I kept smiling!


Best of luck! Remember, your offspring will be so happy and proud that you are there, so hold the banner high!


 


room mom sm

In addition to coordinating parties, etc., the room moms at my daughter's school usually have some kind of a get together so that all the moms can get to know each other.  Also, it gives the room mom a chance to go over things that will be happening in the class. 


Last year, we had a little "party" at the room mom's house with snacks, etc.  That was a great way to get to know the other moms.  The teacher usually meets with the room mom before the get together at the beginning of the school year.


The room mom also asks for volunteers for any party, field trip, etc.  We always have plenty of volunteers which makes the room mom's job a lot easier! 


Hope that helps!


got room in that bag for me too??? --nm

Agree! There's room for everyone. :) nm

chat room
On the main board, menu on the left says "chat". I have clicked on it several times and it always says no one in the room.
there is enough room on this board for a little bit of everything.

In AOL chat room.

Chat room
Just wondering why there is so few in chat room.  Whenever I go to chat, no one is there. 
She is in our utility room, so she is out
of the rain.  We have a chest freezer in there which puts out heat.  We also have our hot water heater in there, which puts out heat and we also leave a light on for her, which generates some heat.  She has room to lay down and stretch a little, just not as much room as a big dog really needs.  
Have radios in every room -- all do it. nm

Always room for improvement

I do agree that they have areas where they need to improve but I promise you that they are working hard at making changes for the better for the good of the MTs out there.  I'm sure I'm going to get slammed for coming to their defense (I can take it), but I just find it a bit hypocritical that so many people are so quick to bash them but yet don't hesitate to send folks to the organization when they need something such as the QA Document.


I probably shouldn't have jumped to conclusions (yes, I'm guilty), as I don't have any idea if those who posted above referring this person to AAMT are pro-AAMT or not.  But, still want to say hooray for seing SOMETHING positive being posted on this board about AAMT.  No, they are not perfect but they have achieved great things and greater things to come, I feel confident.


WAY better - now there's actually room on the stage...
for all the others!
Room mom anyone? I need some help/advice. sm
i have never been room mom but got elected somehow this year of being room mom.  Where do i start and what do i actually do other than help coordinate parties?  i got sent home a list today of all the students names that are in the class and my co-room mom's name.  do i contact the teacher and say what do i do or what?  HELP!!!!!  i have no clue............
Emergency Room
I type ER notes at my current job and I get the same thing.  I bet 90% of my reports are for sore throats.  I actually had one a few weeks ago for a cold!  Come on now people!  Everyone knows there is no cure for a cold!  That is why most of us cannot afford health insurance.  I had a couple bring a baby to the ER because it spit up during the night (just once).  Come on!  Babies do spit up.  Natural.  This happens.  Buy a baby book! 
Have room just for my office
I have a really big house and not that many people so have my own comfy quarters. I have a television in the room and it is on all the time but not a distraction for me, rather just sound around and the news when I need it.
room where you transcribe
I am finding it difficult these past few days to focus. my computer is in my living room, off to a corner and I have a partitioner dividing my room as my living space downstairs is all open.  I live by myself so I really have no distraction.  I have a small dog who is really well behaved. My question is did anyone have any luck with moving their office to another room in trying to stay focus?  I have my upstairs where one room is empty but at the time I moved in I thought Imight feel too secluded being up there but now I am wondering maybe that is what I need.  Thanks. I am almost answering my own question as I am writing this!! 
I use a separate room
I have a 2 bedroom place, hubby and I use the master room and I transcribe in the "office." This keeps me, for the most part, without distractions other than those I create myself. I set up a place for my cats to sleep so they don't sleep on the computer desk, and have found that this works the best for me...very short attention span when I tried it in the living room. Just don't move work into the bedroom you sleep in, might cause sleep problems.
chat room
anyone ever use MT stars chat room?  Just discovered it.
chat room

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!!

Chat room
Chat room is here. Click on "CHAT room" top right corner of the page. See ya there.
There's only so much room for the subject
Then you have to put it inside so it can be read.

In answer to your question, I think it depends on your bank. They actually have a timeframe before they HAVE to release it to your account. Could be a couple days. My bank's pretty good, and it's usually available right away.
How do you do MT from motel room?
nm
She said furnished room, usually sm
it's a room in someone's house and all utilities are included in rent.  If the house has internet, then that would be part of the rent she pays.
is it part of your job to be in a room sm
with a patient? Its not mine. Contrary to what some people think, MTs are not physicians but some sure act like it.
I believe you have to have a room dedicated - sm
as the home office for your work. My "office" is in the MBR so I have never deducted the home office part plus we kept talking about building/moving so I did not want to get into that mess with the IRS when we sold the house wtih depreciation and all that, but I do deduct everything else, a portion of our electric, heat, phone, internet, supplies, etc. If it is used for my IC job I write it off basically. I have receipts to back it all up and deduct about 33% of the electric and heating costs for business (8 hours a day worth), keep a spread sheet of the month electric and our propane costs and basically divide it by 3 at the end of year to get my figure for write-off. Have never had an issue doing it this way.
does anyone want to "chat"--there's never anyone in the chat room

any late niters have a few minutes to chat, let's pick a topic, any topic, meet me there.


--this one is kind of creepy, how it winks.


My greyhound sleeping on our bed - now there's no room for us --

Going to chat room for a little while. Hope to see some of you there. NM

Yeah, like our room-temperature IQ

I do it contantly on Chat room, IMs
!!!
This reminds me of a chat room at AOL! LOL nm

A girl I work with has one in every room...
I personally can't find the time to even put up one!!! I admire your spirit and wish I could be more like that. At one time, I did have one in my living room and my bedroom. I really enjoyed it, but at that time I had a little more spare time on my hands. Now with 2 full-time jobs, no time. I wish I could hire someone to come decorate for me! But you know, the decorating used to be part of the fun. Am I just getting to old ??  or too worn out?? I'm not sure which. So you go girl, put up those trees and put one up for me! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU!
Many years ago, I was in a waiting room
with a group of men waiting for interviews for the same job. After about 15 minutes of very cold, snarled stares from them, one of them spoke up and told me I should go home, that they had a family to support and I had no business there taking jobs from them. I guess it didn't matter to him that I was a divorced mother with 2 children of my own to support and that even if I had no one to support and was a billionaire, it was my right to be there for that job interview as much as his.

I stayed and went through the interview process. I didn't get the job; I don't think that man (just cannot bring myself to call him a gentleman) did either as he was not the manager I dealt with later in that office.

It really burned me that men would have that attitude toward women. It started a slow change in my perspective on the gender differences, equal rights for women, etc.
Emergency room notes! nm

Oooh I LOVE St. B's. No room though.

Had one in the neighborhood as a kid that liked to "play baseball" with us. This was pre-leash laws. Darn thing would catch the ball every single time we hit it and we'd have to draw straws for the duty of sticking our hand in the St. B's mouth to retrieve what was left of the slimy ball. What a great dog he was though.


Need ideas for room separating.
My son and I are most likely going to share a bedroom if (praying) we get this apartment on Tuesday.  He's 3 and has a toddler bed.  I'm wondering about kind of partitioning off his section so he feels he has his own space.  Any ideas??  Thanks. 
I too am in the corner of the dining room. (nm)

like walking into a room for something but forgetting what it was !

A friend had one in their guest room. sm
I slept on it while staying at his house, and I felt more like it was just a "gimmick" - noticed no difference in how well I slept. It was fun to use the control remove, though.
Huge room in a very old house.
Walls are a dark greenish gold with hardwood floors. Standard Office Max computer table where I do all my work. Bookshelves all around the room. Only other furniture is an old desk that is covered with all the stuff I don't have room for on the computer table. Four large windows facing south and east. When working I have all the important stuff like reference books, printer, etc within reach.
