No one else to cover for me. I took it slow and accounts were patient with me--it helps that one was an ob/gyn. :)

Need to prepare -- Anyone out working at home delivered by C-section? I know they say 6 weeks to
recover and get back into an 8-hour day job routine, but did anyone come back sooner because they worked at home and were able to rest more and space out your work time?
From their help section

You can use the same concept to add any formatting codes to your ShortHand text.
PLUS I DID try the help section (sm)

in Word AND I have a copy of Word For Dummies (which I am sure you would think is quite appropriate)  BUT I did not think to look up SELECT TEXT.  I looked up DELETING text which is what I thought I wanted to do not thinking that I had to SELECT if FIRST.


I said at the outset that I was Word challenged and if that annoys you then just ignore my post. 


 


Have you had a C-section?
I don't know about you, but I took the full eight weeks off that is alloted for a c-section. I was in incredible pain. I can't imagine only taking two weeks off. Then again, I also worked another job that actually gave me disability checks so I guess I'm in a different boat altogether. I also had a tubal ligation at the same time. I was in the hospital for almost a week and I coudn't walk for at least a month without severe pain. I guess I'm just a wimp. LOL.
C-section

Hee-hee!  I have a funny one, too.  My dictator says routinely "I sent the patient to see the breast-feeding nurses."  All I can visualize is nurses sitting in a room, breast-feeding! 


There is a medicolegal section on
the job board . . . rarely any new jobs there, but if you go to the Job Seeker's Board and then Job Bank, it is one of the choices there.

You might have done one of the following:
Inserted a manual page break (page break: The point at which one page ends and another begins. Microsoft Word inserts an "automatic" (or soft) page break for you, or you can force a page break at a specific location by inserting a "manual" (or hard) page break.). Switch to normal view (normal view: A view that shows text formatting and a simplified page layout. Normal view is convenient for most editing and formatting tasks.), select the manual page break, and then press DELETE.

Set a pagination option. The following pagination options (Keep lines together, Keep with next, or Page break before) control where automatic page breaks occur.

To remove the pagination formats from text, select the paragraph following the unwanted page break, click Paragraph on the Format menu, and then click the Line and Page Breaks tab. If necessary, clear the Keep lines together, Keep with next, and Page break before check boxes.

Inserted a section break (section break: A mark you insert to show the end of a section. A section break stores the section formatting elements, such as the margins, page orientation, headers and footers, and sequence of page numbers.). The Next page, Even page, or Odd page section break automatically breaks the page.

To prevent a section break from breaking the page, click in the section (section: A portion of a document in which you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or headers and footers.) immediately following the section break, and then click Page Setup on the File menu. Click the Layout tab, and then click Continuous in the Section start box.

Inserted a column break. A column break inserted in the last column of a page will act as a page break. Select the column break, and then press DELETE.


There is an entire section on this

Going back to work after c-section
I returned to work two weeks after my c-section working 6 hours per day. I however made sure to get out of the chair frequently so as to not get so stiff from sitting for so long, which does happen so soon after a c-section. I wouldn't go back to soon though, as it can be very stressful with a new baby and a job to tend to on top of it all.
According to the Answers.com section of Monster.com
"Dr. Phil McGraw won a football scholarship and played as a linebacker for the University of Tulsa, but when he was injured he quit and transferred to Midwestern State University. He graduated with a B.A. in psychology in 1975, and went on to get his PhD. from the University of North Texas in 1979. He is also a pilot, with a multi-engine rating."

get in and out.  I do not use the lid.  It has nice, high sides, room to turn around and I usually try to keep 3 inches of liter in it.  


I have 2 other 'regular' size cats who use the standard liter boxes just fine but my big guy only uses his big, roomy custom box.  I also replace it about every 5-6 months.  I wish you and your kitty all the best! 


Please let us know what the vet says.


Either create it in the header section of

page set up or use a hard return after it and a page break at the end. Center text below the hard return but above the page break and leave a regular line at the bottom of the page.  I would then copy it and paste it however many times I needed a report for then go back to the first and start filling in.


Hope this helps.


In Word, under the Tools section there
is a place for language set. Have you tried this??
Section 8 housing. It's a federal program through HUD.
Google it "Section 8" housing to verify.
Try melatonin over-the-counter in your vitamin section.
Doctors I worked with got me hooked on it. They said they used it themselves.  Doctors know the side effects of chemical drugs and steer away from them when it comes to taking drugs.  Anyway do a search on Google about melatonin.  It may work for you and it really has no side effects for me, like the grogginess prescription drugs give you the morning after you take a pill to sleep.
I was working PT at home one week after my C-section and
probably working FT by third week, though can't remember exactly.   I did have a flexible schedule and I had a very good baby.   I worked where I could and weekends.

802.11 refers to IEEE code section.
These are the people who write the specs for how wireless works. 802.11a is the first generation, 802.11b, second, etc. The latest, I believe, is now 802.11g. While speed is important, and improved in the newer generations, it's also important to know what protocol the router uses as some types are not compatible. Your best bet would be to read up on the subject online by trying a site like www.howstuffworks.com. Do a search for wireless networking.

Re: Limited warranty on Equipment (stars); their legal people pretty much covered their ass. However, based on my experience with IPs, if you keep plugging away (it may takes months), eventually they will tire, thus removing said charges. Again, be prepared for a long battle and make sure to document everything, and I do mean everything. Please keep me posted.
Check Best Buy, business computer section...
I got a Lenovo laptop with XP on it, dropped the Vista all together. The business part of Best Buy has so many computers and laptops to choose from...don't just go by the floor models, they have many others to choose from.
Try the "support" section of the manufacturer's website.
Meanwhile... my favorite cure for just about everything, that seems to work more often than not, is to shut everything down, and I do mean everything--turn off the printer, turn off the computer it's attached to, take out the paper and put it back in, maybe even take out the ink cartridge and put it back in, maybe even disconnect the printer (with the power OFF!) and reconnect it; then turn everything back on, in the normal order, and see if that cures the problem. Sometimes when things haven't been powered down in a while, or a computer hasn't been shut down and restarted, things can get confused internally. No, that's not a very technical explanation, but I once had a programmer tell me to shut down and reboot the server at least once a month because if you don't, it "can't find the top of its own desk." (Guess that IS a technical explanation.)

If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you... try tech support on the manufacturer's website.
Administrator, I can get in to see the jobs ads or any other category other than the main section.
Is there something wrong.
Need MT section on this board to post line rates sm

and what company to help turn things around in this industry, meaning, the 4,5,6,7,8 9 etc per line which is grossly under paying if one takes the time to figure, how many lines, how many lines per hour, per minute, per second to make HOW MUCH PER HOUR.  This is the key, how much per hour you make.


With a list of where to refer to, it helps curb this slave labor mentality.


THE MTs NEED A SECTION ON THIS BOARD to list going rates so the industry becomes more competitive and not at our expense with all this " supply 3 phones, supply long distance TO THEM. BUY THIS AND PROVIDE THIS TO THEIR COMPANY.  Buy this license, this software.

I had major hair loss after my C-section last year. I was told that it was due to the (sm)

anesthesia.  My hairstylist recommended Redken Extreme Shampoo and Conditioner. There is also a leave in treatment to stop breakage.  I get it from JCPenney's.  I think you can get it cheaper from any of the outlet stores.    I noticed an immediate decrease in the amount of hair loss and now after 3 months it is finally starting to look better..  My son was born one year ago this month and my hair loss continued until around Christmas when I started using the Redken products. My doctor told me that it would probably only last during the first 3 months, but  it lasted much longer than that.     I hope this helps.

As for working at home, it may be more comfortable, but not when your butt is planted in the same chair at your desk for 12-16 hours a day, 7 days a week, and the rest of the world goes on without you. Not a perk, in my book.
Can't be V-day, most of us have been out for 2 weeks.

I got a second job 3 weeks ago to
help with our debt.  Hubby cannot work.  No children left at home. It is tiring, but I am hoping to get ahead. 
Going on 4 weeks.
I type with a headache and it is so wearing on me and my body. I cant get rid of it and it kills me. I went to the doctor and he said it was from my neck muscles strained and sinus both, so he put me on some medication. I am not sure it is taking it away though, since it has been a week with just little improvement. I have had my eyes checked and everything. What are rebound headaches exactly? I just wish I could get rid of myn as well.
Four weeks for me, sm
I went back at 4 weeks after having c-section because I was working at home.  My husband was not happy, but I only worked about 3-4 hours a day in the beginning because I had the baby, but it really was not that bad.  I would try to be most productive when the baby was sleeping. 
Yes, 4-6 weeks. nm

I just have one done this way 2 weeks ago - sm
no big deal. I did conscious sedation, though I did not have a choice, but I would think this is the safer way to go (cheaper too). I experienced no discomfort at all during or afterwards. Don't remember the colonoscopy at all. Last thing I remember is them injecting my IV, saying it would sting (it did), next thing I knew my kids and friend who brought me were standing in there looking at me. I was very groggy though, half slept on the drive home, came home and conked out for 2 hours. Awoke feeling much more alert and back to normal. Just make sure you follow the prep instructions to a "T". Got a copy of my report which said my prep was excellent!
I did after about 1-1/2 weeks

but I should have quit sooner (Medquist). They misrepresented (I'm being nice here) the type of work I would have. When there was work (constantly ran out), I spent most of my time looking up names of physicians for the demographics. It was a nightmare. After a few reports, I'd get the dreaded "There are no more reports. Please press...."  Then I'd call the office and if I was lucky, someone would return my call in an hour....Like I said, I didn't want to feel like a quitter either, but I finally figured that they weren't treating me like a valuable employee, why should I hang in there when no one would even return my calls?  My previous employer took me right back, and  thankfully hadn't found a permanent replacement for my accounts!  If I ever search again, I will try the new place out first part-time before jumping into the flame.


Every day for two weeks now, I was out of
work for months and thankfully, even right before Christmas, no doubt, I have a job now that keeps me busy, almost busier than I want to be, but I am making so much money right now, I don't care! It's feast or famine!
I wonder about this. Every few weeks
someone puts up a post that they just discovered this wonderful website. What is going on?????
A few weeks ago someone

on this forum was saying she bought 2003 with 2008 Works for 48.00 or so on E-Bay, from a seller in Arizona.  Another person wrote a message that it wasn't 2003 with 2008 Works but 2002, but the original poster said it was INDEED 2003 and she was using it!  You might try search?


I remember this post because it interested me in that I needed a copy of 2003 & was willing to buy it through E-Bay.  Luckily, my hubby works for computer manufacturer in testing division.  They had an unused copy of 2003 that they didn't really need or want as they said this was "old technology" & they let me have it!    Made my day!

I have only been at it for a couple of weeks..
Having several years experience, I thought I could step right in and nail it.  There are a variety of issues/concerns most importantly the accents, getting use to the different accounts (I have several) and unrealistic expectations I have set before myself.  It is a good thing I get paid by the hour because if I got paid by the line, I would be starving!!!  Some files are easy to zip through, others are are a real dragon!!!!  I am going to give it more time though.  I have wanted this position for a while and I don't give up easy!  Thanks for letting me vent.
This happens maybe once a week, once in two weeks sm

So not very often...just....It was just something that my dad never did with us and I don't like it. I've told him that but he just shrugs his shoulders about it and says it is no big deal, even when she points and says like, what's that?


 I don't know, am I a prude? I just don't think it is appropriate.
