    geez you guys are bitter. Maybe she's trying to lighten

    Maybe she just has a fun personality?


    Just tryin' to lighten things up! nm

    I have a QA question. Is it normal to divide your errors by your total lines? I thought

    it was supposed to be your errors by either total characters or total words, but total lines just doesn't seem right.  You do a 90 line report and have one error (that is counted as two points) and you have a 97.78%.  I put an instead of a (on accident of course) and got docked two points and failed the review for that patient.  That just doesn't seem right. 


    Is this normal?


    That is so nice you guys thought of me!

    However, I am truly spineless.  I could not quit because, alas, I am not the only one I'm responsible for here at home.  So, after multiple conversations with folks at work on how they can help to alleviate some of my stress, here I am pounding the keys and probably will continue for a while anyway.  I have let a lot of people down, myself included, with my actions...and not all are work related.  I'm going through some difficult times, but I'm sure there are others out there going through much, much worse. 


    I have started taking an anti-anxiety medication though, Lexapro, in the hopes that I can get a grip on my emotions because they do tend to mutate into this huge out-of-control entity and, again, it's not all work related.  I can't remember the last time I did something for me, and apparently if I don't start putting myself first, I'm headed down a very slippery slope.


    So, yeah, one day at a time here.  I really appreciate the positive vibes though and I hope everyone else out there is taking care of themselves. 



     


    You guys are better than I thought. I was wondering if you could catch those, lol nm
    :P
    Thanks guys. And I thought I was tired of turkey! :)

    I was going to make the pea soup today, but I didn't feel like it.


    Maybe I'll have more motivation tomorrow. I got everything done early this year and I'm still wiped out. Maybe it was the pitter patter (more like CONSTANT RUNNING) of grandkids. 20-month-old twins, a 2-year-old along with a 2-month-old that is hungry every 3 hours.


    I love them dearly, but I'm in my pajamas and it's not even 5:00.


    LOL, maybe so but I wouldn't have married him if he didn't do those things! ;o)
    nm
    That's what I thought...I wouldn't care what anyone
    was serving.  It's just the idea of getting together with friends, some I haven't seen in ages! 
    Look, if you knew me you wouldn't have said those things. I live in Alabama! We hate sm
    them-thar' fags. Honestly, I am probably the MOST unprejudiced (if that's a word) person in my entire family! I'm constantly rolling my eyes at THEM because they use inappropriate names to refer to people and I don't like it.

    I am a conservative who doesn't believe in same-sex marriages! I am totally against it.

    What I am saying is this: This lady is NOT making this stuff up. It happens. We may not like it, but it happens. and here's the real kicker: We need to love these so called "degenerates." We really do. Like the Beatle's song goes: All you need is love...

    Love can make them turn around. Really!
    tongue tied doc -- The neck was drepped and praped in sterile fashion . . . thought you guys could
    use a laugh!
    The OP should have thought things out better
    You don’t quit a job, retire, etc. if you don’t have the backing to do, no matter what, unless dire emergency, that being you are ill, unable to work but people generally have to work in order to eat, live and such. This was a foolish mistake on her part. I think what happened is how she posted, saying could her husband set something up, she could be an "employee", he could pay her, sounds like something underhanded. Oh, by the way, there are people who think others being sent to a God forsaken place to fight has no merit, I being 1 of those. Looking forward to the dems getting in so those out there can come home.
    Ah, I thought I was seeing things
    or not seeing them. I had replied to that post, but it disappeared. I'd be interested to see if anyone hears back from her.
    I worked for them for a while. I thought things were
    great; great pay, great tech support. Then they lost the account and did not tell me. I tried to work and was locked out. I asked why and got a very rude response. This was some time ago so things may have changed. Do not take my word for it, but I did want to put my not-so-good experience for you to see just in case things have not changed. Good luck!!
    PS - a couple of other things I have thought about
    are Public Administration and Health Care Administration.
    I bet my mother-in-law thought some of these things too...SM

    I lost my job and asked my MIL to train me to be an MT.  Boy, now I know what that is really asking, but I had no idea then exactly what that meant for her.  She asked me to come over and listen to a couple tapes and see what I thought.  At that time, she had about 90% cardiology, 5% nephrology, and 5% IM.  I listed and typed a bit.  She liked what she saw and decided to try me out.  I started off 100% on cardiology making about $3 an hour, but by week three I was up to over $10.  She had to 100% proof my work for a few months and then would only proof parts for the next few months.  I live over 50 miles one way from her house, but I drove there 3-4 days a week for 2½ years to work for her and have her be my mentor.  Within the first month, she was so happy and knew she did the right thing by taking a chance on me because I was the best MT she ever had (with or without experience).  She also got to train me "her way" so to speak rather than someone who is untrainable or set in their ways.


    Yes, it takes a lot of extra time, but maybe if you give her a couple weeks or a month you can tell if she is going to be good at it or not.  I didn't even have an MT course, but my MIL and her 20+ years experience taught me everything I know.  I now have my own accounts, have been an MT for over six years, and absolutely love it.  You really never know what potential a person has unless you give them a chance.  I was an adminstrative assistance in my younger days, so I knew my way around computers and had some basic formatting knowledge, etc.,


    I thank my MIL from the bottom of my heart for giving me the chance to be an MT and work in a field I absolutely love. 


    Just a thought for you to think about.


    DH got that letter too. Scary thought that the employees can take such things home. nm

    not a bit homophobic. love queer guys for straight guys.
    these guys are clever and witty and have good taste.  they are who they are.  not a problem.  i have problems with boy-men who are currently trendy now.  that's my taste.  and it's kind of scary that women are attracted to these unisex boy-men culturally. no big deal unless you make it one.  this is a board to exchange ideas right?
    They were a hoot!
    I thought they were a hoot! Both of them just brought some liveliness to this old timers board!
    What a HOOT!

    what a hoot!!!

    even the doctor laughed as he dictated in the lab work on a 48-year-old man that 'thankfully his urine pregnancy test was negative" !!


    Bet that man wouldn't be happy to be charged for one though!


    No waq, Jack!! What a hoot!


    Wasn't it a HOOT when ...
    Taylor fell in the floor--I just smile the whole time I am watching him.

    I think EVERYTHING pertaining to religion is a hoot! People are such SHEEP!

    It wouldn't load with my Office. Somehow it wouldn't "read" my 2003 Basic, although sm
    technical couldn't find anything wrong with my software. They really tried hard. I see so many people that like Escription, I'm sorry not to be able to use it. Hopefully I can get Office Pro on my next machine, and maybe use it then. I could upgrade, but I'm still not sure it would work.
    Lighten up,
     
    Lighten up.
    nn
    I think you need to lighten up.
    They are just having fun and I did see posts where others were rude to them as well. I like to look at things from both angles.
    LIGHTEN UP!!

    It's not intended for young ones.....it's funny to read, but who really goes to Wal mart and does this??? I think it hilareoud to read!! I would NEVER teach my son this!!


     


    This is the reason I don't like coming onto this site....toooo much b*!ching from people that can't keep their mouth shut! As a student and my teacher telling me to take a look on this site, I am ashamed by the way that you all are acting!!!!


     


    I will tell my teacher that I will never come here again due to this IMATURE actions!


    Lighten up. nm

    oh lighten up!

    Lighten up?
    My doctor, I would hope, is a professional and I would not appreciate him talking about me or my body while he is on the phone dictating.  Number one he was wrong in doing that and number two, the person who posted the information here was wrong.  We are making light of a woman's dilemma about her body.  I find it most distasteful and most likely breaking the rules of the hospital where he was dictating from.
    LIGHTEN UP!!!
    Everybody has an opinion and from the post replies YOUR OUTNUMBERED!  I AM proud of my country and what it stands for and I did vote for BUSH!  Some people have NO SENSE OF HUMOR!
    Take it far too seriously? Oh lighten up!
    There goes that one nice moment on MT Stars - somebody has to come a preaching how we need to get over something! Ya think we'll all be able to move on from this? Gee, I sure hope so, too. Thanks for bringing us all back to your reality! You got my vote, sista!
    Oh, lighten up and don't be such a

    It's a joke - lighten up

    Oh lighten up, unhappy one

    lighten up, I think it's hysterical
    It's the family / abdomen part that I'm really cracking up over.
    Jeez!!! Lighten up!

    She was obviously making a joke.  I don't understand you people.


    I posted a post below saying I thought trade schools were underrated and were a very viable alternative to a college degree.  A poster responded by writing that people who feel that way aren't college material.


    Dano objected to the rudeness of that poster, and now everyone is ganging up on her simply because she thinks people should be treated nicely and with respect.


    Precisely what IS your problem? 


    Oh woman...lighten up .sm

    ... and get a sense of humor!  This board could use more giggles and less crabs.


      


    lighten up - I have gotten a lot of help on these boards (sm)
    We're just having a fun day.  Are we allowed?  I've also noticed that many of the questions that have no answers posted are the ones that have already been asked and answered ad nauseum.  Check archives.  People get tired of repeating the same things over and over.
    Oh Lighten up, it IS funny...

    Can't we all just get along?    It's not like Dick Cheney is your dad or anything.... If they didn't set themselves up to be so perfect, it wouldn't be so funny when they are shown for the normal human beings that they are.


    Wouldn't that mean that you simply wouldn't have to print out everything?

    The guy was Russian, Ms. PC. Get off the soapbox and lighten up.
    Believe me, the people you so condescendingly "defend" wouldn't defend you if you were getting beaten and robbed before their eyes, as a matter of fact, it would be them doing it.

    Keep your "holier than thou" to yourself, as well as your misplaced pity/guilt/anti-Caucasian sentiment.
    Geez, people, lighten up!!

    That was funny, TechSupport. 


    To the OP, with the job market being what it is, MTSOs are inundated with resumes when they advertise.  Keep at it and if you find a company that you really think sounds like a good fit, keep pinging them with e mail, call them if you can get a phone number, and be really aggressive.  The squeaky wheel that stands out is what is going to get their attention.


    Good luck.
