Trying NOT to be a perfectionist

I'm still kind of new (4 years) but I'm not naive. I have to keep reminding myself what my per-page pay is and that I am not reimbursed for my perfectionism. I, too, hate leaving blanks or even having to ask for help instead of putting the time in to find the answer myself, but seriously, I think I'm the only one that takes that much pride in my work... I don't think the doctors, etc. could care less. Obviously, hence their lack of courtesy in their dictations. And, I'm sorry to hear you're having a bad day, too.

I'm available. I like getting corrections because I'm a perfectionist.
Sounds like the prima donna is on an ego trip and doesn't want to slow down.

Nope. Being an anal retentive perfectionist is a good quality in an MT.
