I found the problem - dust bunnies!!!

I got brave (or stupid) and tried to open it up. It was full of dust bunnies!!! I blew out the stuff and put it back together, and it works GREAT now! It guess it's like how a mouse with a roller can get filled with junk and not work. Who knew!!!


I actually was worried that I wasn't putting enough weight on my pedal. I barely rest my toes on it instead of my whole foot, so there isn't much up/down motion - lazy I guess.


But just so everyone knows - save your $$$ and blow the dust bunnies out if this happens to you!



 


 


Troubles with Teething - Baby, Baby, Baby
Hi. My little guy is teething soooooo bad and I am wondering if any of you have some ideas that I can try, to hopefully make his life (and my life) a little easier to deal with? lol. We've tried Tylenol - with little pain relief, but much diarreha! We've tried Orajel - it seems to wear off too fast to make a difference. We've tried teething toys - help for only a few minutes (not nearly enough time for me to get any work done!). His appetite is normal, but his sleep schedule has been totally disrupted (as has mine). For the last 2 nights, he has woke up every couple hours. I would think he would be exhausted during the day....but he never goes to sleep. He is more fussy than usual and alittle more clingy, but overall he is very playful. His pediatrician gave me some suggestions (the above) that I have tried with little to no help, so I am desperate for new ideas! He is cutting multiple teeth right now (and just got a few new ones last week too) so he is in a lot of pain. Poor little guy. I appreciate all ideas that anyone has. Thanks in advance.  :)

Is there engineer week? Astronaut week? Veterinarian week?

Thank you sooo much,

I have been trying to figure that out for quite some time now.  Why isn't that explained anywhere on the site or why isn't there just a tab to click on for "Subscriptions?"


Just wondering, it would sure be easier to do that way.


Thanks again.


Thank you sooo much!
I am in total agreement with you about the Emdat platform and also being able to do more in Word.  I really wish there was a way to just type in Word and send the work from there.  However, thanks so much for letting me know about how to copy to Emdat.  I didn't want to try it until I heard back from someone, so thanks.:)
if they are SOOO BAD
why do so many people work there?
everything is opinion based, just as you didn't like it there, im gonna guess plenty do.
this is sooo cool! Thanks!

I am just sooo depressed

Hello!! I am a newbie, stay-at-home military wife and my husband is the only one working for now. He is deployed right now and I am managing all the finances, since we have separate accounts, I transferred$1000 in my account which made him mad. It felt like I overspent and use the money for nothing. Money that I didn't even spent shopping!!! He knows where the money goes but he still questions me about every single penny I spent and I really felt so bad.


Thank you guys for reading my post. I just felt like sharing this with you. I just need someone to talk to.


This is sooo true
This is so true. I have been told by the human resource director that the docs will only need a device kind of like a Palm Pilot and that they will key in diagnoses, etc, which somehow which will somehow cover billing, transcription, etc. I guess I could deliver pizzas or go to Wal-Mart. It seems like there will always be PIZZA AND WAL-MART! This is really, really SAD.
My $375 was sooo well spent...
We have a cat and a dog - We have gone through a Fantom, a Hoover wind tunnel, and a Dirt Devil (not in that order, but you get it, about one vacuum every other year - kaplooey with the animal hair - yes I groom my animals but still...they shed)....I bought a Dyson a little over year ago, after seeing it on sale at Sears, looking it up on the 'net, and just being fascinated by the whole vortex deal. I also ended up using a gift card I had as well, which took a bite out of the price.  Before buying, I asked the Sears Service Dept and customer service people their "scoop" on the Dyson - they had never had one returned....for any reason in our region of stores - they looked it up for me.  I figured that was good enough for me !  I have had no problems whatsoever and absolutely love it.  I should have started working at Sears on commission.  I have sold 3 of them just by word of mouth..LOL!  Gotta love the Dyson - especially with the extra motor in mine (the purple one) for the animal hair - it honestly doesn't ever lose suction! 
Not the OP. This is sooo true.

Like when the company looses an account and the Shift lead lies and tries to play dumb like she has no idea why there has been no work for 20 days or more. Yeah right!  Big fat liars...most of them.


While at another company based in Florida, I had system problems almost every day.  Tech support was a joke.  Every time I mentioned it to my Team lead shed say, "I have the same problem everyday" in the most unconvincing voice possible. Big fat liar.


 


Sooo funny, thanks!

At the end of a day, once, I was sooo tired and would have
preferred to not type at all and yes...I did it, I CHERRYPICKED.

Then, I realized the other MTs were making selections and that is why I was so tired = I was doing the crappy work.

Now, thank GOD, my account does not allow the MTs access to that function in Winscribe - and becoming a cheater isn't an option anymore. Cheater
I am just sooo frustrated!

I am just so frustrated with my production.  I am stuck at 800ish lines a day.  I have tried Instant Text and Smartype both and I still cannot get over this 800 line mark.  I really need to double this at least because I have 2 children to support.  Ok thanks for letting me vent


 


You're sooo right.
We weren't born yesterday.
My ex was wealthy and I was sooo miserable
without going into detail, I will say my health suffered from being with a man whom I sensed did not love me in a deep fashion. That fact cancelled out the 9,000 sq foot home (attached 4 car garage), 2400 cash allowance monthly, the need for me not to work, vacations to exotic places and luxury cruises twice each year, a walk in close the size of my present bedroom. But, you know, I was so lonely. At least with your husband, you will have a man who loves you when you are old. I left that life to nothing, zip, lost my place in MT world after 20 yrs and had to start all over, his attorneys royally screwed me and yes, I was so poor I was hungry, sold all those clothes at second hang consignment shops and begged someone to hire me (MQ at 0.06 cpl). I had dogs so had to buy a home which took every cent I had. Walked out with nothing in the end. I am happy but at 40, that scene is not one a person can go through without subsequent scars.

I am alone now. A fireplace is my company along with two cats. Seven years later, I am at peace finally but I really did let myself down by putting myself through the hell I lived trying to get my life back on track.

The secret to happiness is being thankful for what we have - I say that every day.
SOOO good to hear from you --sm
So many people on this board expressed concern for you well being, I was surprised. But I am VERY glad that you did so well and accomplished what you meant to accomplish. I applaud your efforts and wish you the best of luck. I am a bit concerned about the doctor situation though. No doctor should have such control over someone's physical care as to put pressure on someone who works with them. That is not ethical! I understand your concerns about your husband's position and I am not suggesting that you do anything drastic, but it sounds like someone is holding a weapon over your husband's head to make you continue you care with them. You have a right to choose your own doctor and not suffer any consequences. This is still the USA, not matter what her problems, and you still have the freedom of choice. Please continue on your present course of action and only do what you feel comfortable doing, but please keep in mind also that no doctor should FORCE you to take care from them. Please also continue to come here to talk about things. There are some very supportive people on this board, and use them when you need to. All best wishes to you!! You should be so very proud! and bless your husband for being so understanding too!
You are sooo lucky!!! Congrats!
!
But ohhhh sooo tempting!! LOL

I am sooo computer challenged. Please can you help? sm
I am trying to test for a company that sent me the test via e-mail attachment.  The test file had to be unzipped which I did using Winzip.  But now, I have no idea how to get it to play.  What am I supposed to do now to get me sound card to play it.  I feel sooo dumb, but I've just never had to go through all these hoops.  I've always just been able to click and listen.  Ugh.
Typically this week is a slow week in lots of places

because it is a big vacation week.  Typically things slow dow a bit in the summer too because people are putting off elective surgery, but at the same time lots of people going on vacation so it should balance out.   


 


 


Lowest runs $900 week, highest $1400 week (sm)
Get paid 12 CPL. Been doing transcription for about 12 years.
I thought Transolutions was sooo fantastic, don't they have something to help you with that?

That's sooo not true. The company can change
Nice try but you really don't understand what you are talking about.
Yeah, sooo, MTSO needs to tell MT what facilty

Inhouse only lasts sooo long...

I bet if you asked around, the outsourcing rate is moving faster than we think.


There is always the nationals to go back to in case the inhouse job sends ya' packin'.... 


I agree, and I work for MQ! Sooo boring, soooo old, and
you would think they'd realize how idiotic they look - whining and whining and predicting doom and gloom! Honestly, MQ and Philips is BOOMING in the business world right now.  Huge advances the last few months - HUGE sales of products, advances, awards in the industry.  I get email alerts daily on the HUGE growth of MQ - and these old sea-hags just sit on here and cackle about DOOM.  Boy, do they need a reality check, or what? All is fine in MQ world, and always, always will be!  As long as you're willing to work and have a brain, MQ is a great place to work! Oh, yeah, and I'm mgmt - making 6 figures and even remotely interested in sea-hag opinions! That is just soooooooooooooo lame, too! Or maybe I'm the same poster from below who always uses CAPS! That is sooooooooooo funny. Cracked up at that analysis - some of these women have way toooooooo much time on their hands rather than hitting the keyboard! Analysing posts to compare typing styles. Give me a break! What a hoot!
But, she said the sex is SOOO good. Isn't this a twisted sort of situation?
She's miserable, but yet the sex is just so darned good? How good could it possibly be from such a jerk? Sounds VERY codependent.
I agree. When hear/research blank, it is SOOO

OMG! Admin really outdid it with this counting software. Thank you SOOO much! It's really super.

I've seen sooo many posts about this....Listen, the 5000 lines isn't a typo.
It's some type of project. If you search the board, you will see the posts and then maybe we won't have to keep top-posting it all over the place?
Office Space is hilarious! It's an older movie, but sooo funny! The attitude Peter

has (the main character) reminds me of me!  Gotta see if you haven't already.  I watch it over and over and I still laugh.  


My favorite lines:


"Can't you just zonk me out so that I don't know that I'm at work, in here?  Can't I just come home and think that I've been fishing all day or something?" 


"I don't really like my job and I'm not gonna go anymore." 


 


 


I work 6 days a week every other week

Due to my company's payroll (it runs Sun-Sat), I'm able to work a rotating schedule with every other weekend off. Week 1 I work Sunday through Thursday with Fri, Sat, Sun off.  Week 2 I work Monday through Friday with Saturday only off.  Then I'm back to week 1 and get that following weekend off.


I've found that I'm more productive with shorter shifts and I have kids in school anyway, so I work a lot of split shifts during the week.  If possible, you might want to consider cutting back your hours to 30 hours and just work five 6-hour days in split shifts, 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening. 


well that's cute, how'd you do that?

Too cute

Giggle. Next you'll be telling us you're qualified as Chief of Staff at the hospital you nurse at and transcribe for.  Chuckle.  (Reminds me of the saying, Jack of all trades, master of none.)  Chuckle.


Cute!
  Good one!
That's cute. :) (NM)

Cute, but THAT will be the day!

too cute!
And I totally agree!
That's cute...

But outsourcing to India doesn't concern me on iota.  Remember ..... they speak a different language than we do and when doctors here hire them, they get exactly what they pay for, which, when you add all things in, they charge for basically equal pay for a real sloppy job........


Never fear, my dear.....India's a joke......


That's why they'd much rather work call centers and do - more money for less work.  Much easier to speak it - albiet half azz - than transcribe it.


LOL!! Cute.

That's cute! I got a second dog for the
older dog as a playmate and they are stuck like glue now.  I wasn't too sure about it at first, the older dog is a Golden and the little guy is a Cocker, but it has worked out.  Now the older dog is in his second puppyhood, gets into mischief just like the little guy and teaches him all the good and bad ropes. And of course, they don't tell on each other when the Kleenexes are shredded on the floor.  In fact, the new dog was such a stinker that I went to midnights just to get work done. Couldn't let him out of my sight for a minute. I took 2 hour naps during the day when he slept, otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten anything done.  He's much better now that he is a year old. 
cute : )
