Those were my faves too!
I think they are E-61s or something, stethoscope style, but my dog chewed the wire and I just could not see paying the $45.00 I think they cost to buy another set. I use the earbuds that came with my son's video cam, which work fine but do not have the cord length of the E-61s.

Do you have an old-style transcriber you could test the headphones on? You could also try another pair of headphones and see if you get the same problem with static from the computer.
OP notes and psych stuff are my faves.

Clinic FP/GP/GYN notes drive me absolutely insane.  I'll never understand people can do that (transcribing and/or treating patients even!) day after day, year after year, decade after decade...   



I'm with your son, although my faves are SF Rockstar and SF Sobe No Fear. VROOOM ... lol nm

Just turn it off and wait for the electricity to dissipate and then clean it and turn it back on. nm

Turn down such low low offers, turn industry around. sm
The way to figure is how many lines an hour do you do. There are 13 lines characters in a line (65 line length)
So say you TRY to average 4 pages an hour say 34 lines a page equal 139 lines, times your line rate.
139 X 4 cents a line = $5.56 an hour

and what if you don't do 4 pages even less.

MTing hourly hourly output is not very predictablel, so ya never know and predict what you can put out each hour.
THE WAY TO TURN THE INDUSTRY AROUND IS TO SPEAK UP, SAY 'NO' THAT IS TOO LOW AND GIVE SHORT EXAMPLE.

If the MTs continue to accept, that is what the going rate will continue to be. Yes, Yes, it will. Just keep looking. Email for general lowest to highest line rate prior to testing and resume, just say it saves time on both sides and it DOES. Why waste time. Soon, the message will get out there.
Turn off puter, wait a min, turn on with delete key pressed down, then hit delete key NUMEROUS times

Bucky
No pro future for Bucky?? Huh-he was approached by Led Zepplin a few weeks into Idol. I am not a rock fan or a Led Zepplin fan, but think that was a pro invitation. I am from Rockingham, so know. I have only lived here for two years, originally from the midwest, but as far as Kelly and Bucky-they talk and act like they do down here. Might sound "dumb like a box of hair," but that is the way it is here. I think Kelly is cute (and plays a dumb blonde well), but also think she has probably lived a sheltered life and never been out of Albemarle, North Carolina. All in all, North Carolina still has 3 in the top 8. Cannot beat that!!
Rockingham, NC-Bucky
I agree Bucky is not the best choice for American Idol, but I have lived here only 2 yrs and they sure are making it a Big Deal here. I won't vote for someone "just because." I want the true "American Idol." Love Carrie Underwood. I liked Kellie at first, not my fav, but now she is playing the dumb blonde way too well. I think she is best in jeans. Didn't fit the tight dress thing (pulling up the back and the boobs) with heels though she looked nice. Can't wait for next week and the 50's theme!!! Should be good. I definitely think Kevin needs to go. I do believe he actually thinks he is a sex symbol. I think Chris is cute and has a voice, but I HATE that rock and thinking you have to pick up the mic stand and play with it. Drives me nuts. Must do something for a few people. What's his name did it last season. Is kind of like football players taking off the helmets and doing a little jig in the end zone. Oh.....
Bucky might get the boot . .
Simon was right - that hair was just bad! The stylists are doing them wrong.
Bucky must go! I agree as well sm.
I personally don't think he has the vocals for this competition; he should have tried Nashville Star!
bucky may have a future but he does come.NM
.
Kevin, Kellie, and Bucky can go -

Taylor and Katherine were my favs this week.  Taylor is consistent in entertaining people and Katherine has a very strong voice, although her choice of songs isn't always the best.  I'm hooked on Idol!  LOL  Bye-bye Kevin.


For sure... Bucky? He's nice, but has no pro future.
x
but no matter what Bucky sings....nm

I agree, Bucky's performance was at least fun.
Ace is always annoying. But I think Bucky was very fortunate to have lasted as long as he did. I'm sure he'll be able to find work, at least as a second job. There have been other country singers that did find even though they aren't great singers. I've never thought Brooks & Dunn had great voices at all, and they make a living.
I was replying to a previous post about Bucky.
One poster said that Kellie made Southerners look stupid and one poster said Bucky might get the boot. I was responding to them in my post.
I don't watch AI, but Bucky is from a nearby town. They
interview Rocky (his twin) on our local Fox channel frequently.  He always has his hair back in a ponytail and it looks much better than what I've seen with Bucky and that hair all loose - and what is it with that wide stance I've seen on the previews.  If it is supposed to be sexy it isn't.  Anyway his brother doesn't seem to be a genius either, but he doesn't come across as a dummy either.   Evidently he sings too and he said that both of them would probably move to Nashville and try to get something going. 
I'm ready for Bucky to go, too. I think Chris really took it to the next level last night and I
thought Mandisa was fabulous!  Thought it was funny how these kids really weren't even familiar with Barry Manilow, guess I'm showing my age.
I think Bucky will go home tonight. I did not like Taylor's performance.

Yeah, yeah, that should be "your work..."

turn it down some more
We usually keep it at 67 in the winter, 78 in the summer, but this winter will move it to 64 or 65 during the day and probably cooler at night. We live down south so that's not that bad. If we lived up north those thermostat settings would cost us way too much money! I remember keeping it low to stretch out the heating oil a little bit more. Good luck to all of you up there.
had to turn them down
I got a job offer from them, but I only have been in this business for about 9 mos now, so all they could offer me was their mentoring program at 6.5 cpl. they have a mandatory 12-week training program which sounds great for the all the feedback and communication. However, the biggest drawback for me (besides the paycut) was that after you become an employee you have to SIGN a piece of paper statng that you will stay employed with them for 1 year following their training, and no chance of any raise until 6 mos after you sign on. Too many negatives for my life right now.
why not turn it into a little bit ot fun for you?
When I get that call from India (where they usually insist they are calling from one of the states), I assume a very thick accent and ask questions.

Why, suga, you don't know my nahim? I cuda sworn I gave it to ya laest tyme! Tell you whayat...let me talk to someone without an Indyian accent who can hear me, wontcha do thayat for me, hunnee?

There is always the northeast accent.

Yo, youse want my name? For wat? Wyse do youse think I wanna talk to you today? Eh? Whatcha gonna do 'bout it, eh? You're in New York? Get Out! Me too! You uptown or midtown? Which rail you ride to work?

They usually hang up at that point pffttt!! :}
Can you turn off

the abbreviation Expander in Bayscribe?  I use ShortHand and have to do that in ChartScript.  SH works great when I do that. 


I should have also said we are to turn off
the automatic numbering because it also causes problems for our software.
Turn down
the hate volume. Going to pop a cork!

Tell your supervisor to talk to the QA person about excessive nagging. Do something about it.
Turn off
Any screensavers you may have set to start.

Ctrl+Alt+Del will start task manager, where you can see any programs or processes that are running.


you can also turn off
While you're there, UNcheck the *allow indexing service* box. If you need to find a file on your computer, use Google Desktop. The chances of having to search for something by suffix are slim, not worth the performance cost of allowing indexing. If you need to do this, run it while you're asleep.
Yes it is something I can turn off...sm
When I come on the message board or am sendng emails to friends, I don't sit there and take the time to do everything "proper" and all. I do things "proper" all day. I proofread all day. When I come on here I am not worried about my message if it isn't perfect. I know proper English but sometimes you just get tired of being so perfect all day. I can and do turn it off and when I need it turn it on.
What a TURN-OFF

Who in their right mind would apply?  Maybe its our good friend Tonya at 6 cpl again...


my turn!

The doctor dictates
In the midst of screams and clunks
... Recovery Room!


Yeah, baby, yeah.
We are here for the long haul.
Okay - here's my reply - Your turn!
You really are in serious need of psychiatric attention/medication, but I have a life to lead and am leaving you to post your reply and move on with your delusional life.

Awaiting your witty and egocentric reply! :)
Okay, here's my posting. Your turn!

Maybe your multitude of friends you go out socializing with aren't available today and that's why you're trolling MT boards on Saturday afternoon?


Saturday's my day off and I come to these boards to check in. I no longer do MT because I saw what happens to people who have no life away from their computer. I have a career outside the home and have people to talk to that aren't behind a monitor wolfing down a bag of Cheetos. You're a perfect example.


Now, before your imaginary entourage of social butterflies stops by to take you to the country club, hurry up and post your angry response. This is actually amusing, and makes me so glad that I don't have to deal with the mentally ill on message boards to take up time before my next shift.


I have better things to do than argue with the socially retarded, but do enjoy the board today and have fun! Clearly that's all you have. 


Actually, if you did turn around and sell

the computer and stole the SS numbers, don't you think you would be arrested and maybe go to jail or even be fined. 


Sure, ya could, but would ya!


Go turn on the TV then and leave us alone
without your almight permission.
Turn it off and unplug everything!
No NEVER! I believe at MQ if you lose your equiptment because you left it plugged in during a storm, they won't pay to replace it. Atleast that is what I was told a few years back. Needless to say, they used to send out e-mails saying this is thunderstorm season and make sure you unplug both your computer AND your phone lines if a storm approaches!
turn off and unplug
Unplug from the wall, even your protector, and be sure to unplug your phone line if you use one for the computer, your router if you have one, or your high speed modem. The surge protectors fail. We have one that was nearly 200. and during a storm it got fried along with the tv that was plugged to it.
In turn, I agree with you. LOL!
Now, granted, my first response today was a bit testy, but I was not calling names in the other topic and I wanted to make that particular point clear. :)

Everyone has to make their own moral and ethical decisions in life, and just because someone makes a different decision than mine does not mean they're an evil person or deserve to be insulted, called names, aspersions cast on their character, etc. It does NOT necessarily mean that I'm going to remain silent and reserve my opinion on the issue, though.

Decisions with an element of risk are made every day, and most of them turn out fine. I'm not comfortable with drinking on the job and would not employ anyone I discovered doing it, but if someone else is, then that's their choice and may they never regret it.
So how many lines did it turn out to be?
.
Well technically they can't turn it off here unless the

Turn the tables
This is why I don't like working at home (and don't anymore). In person, you can use facial expressions and tone of voice, and take them totally by surprise. What you do when they accuse you of something is squint your eyes a little, turn your head a bit as if wondering what on earth they are talking about, with just the slightest hint that you might be questioning their sanity. Then you calmly explain what actually happened. When they fail to apologize, you kind of lean forward, turn your head a little, make a forehead frown, and ask something like, "Is there some reason you thought I might have done something like that? Sometimes it seems almost like you are questioning my ethics ..." and you look very calm, but concerned about them. This usually causes them to stammer and backpedal in a most satisfying way. :oD

i think I'm going to turn the position down
because something just doesn't feel right about it.  I can't find current info on them and nobody's is posting anything but making it mandatory for me to be signed in to i.m. and mandatory for me to check my email when I'm not working (nights and weekends) I think is a little bizarre.  I've worked as an ic for many years and have never heard of that. 
I turn off every night.

Turn-around-time...that's what you are looking for.
Yes, 3x TAT is good.
Okay, here's my posting - your turn
LOL - angry people are so predictable, yet amusing! :)
When you turn 18 here in Oregon....sm
the check automatically gets sent to the child by the state. My husband has paid over $1000 a month in support for over 8 years, now down to $700 a month because one child dropped off at 21. All CS is now a garnishment, so the state cuts a check. When the support obligation ends whoever is paying the support has to notify the court that the child has turned 21 or whatever age is in the divorce decree and then the court will issue an end to the child support. My husband's decree says to age 21 and they must be attending college full-time, at least 14 credits. If my step-daughter doesn't carry 14 credits for even one term the support ends and she has to petition to get it back, but only if her dad agrees to it.

Turn around time

My husband had an evaluation on 5/8 with a referral to a radiologist for an epidural. I called this office today and was told that it usually takes up to 8 days for the referring doctor to send the consult and then several weeks to schedule the injection. My problem is that it takes up to 8 days to send the consult - the radiologist is in the same practice, a doorway away.


Does HIPPA regulate turn around time?


How a pain management doctor's office can delay the care of a patient who is in obvious pain is beyond me. Does this sound fair to you?


Thanks, Barb


 


 


So why turn your kids into that, as well? nm

turn her into an artist...
I hated that my preschool daughter was going to be watching so much TV, when I got an idea. She liked to draw, so I would sit her down to watch her favorite cartoons, and tell her you can only watch these if you will draw them for me, so I can look at them later with you. I'd leave a big stack of drawing paper,pens, colored pencils, paints, and she'd get totally engrossed. So every TV show or cartoon she watched, she had to illustrate it for me. Or sometimes she wouldn't even be in front of the TV, just sitting next to me on the computer, drawing me, the cat, whatever. These days, she's 14 and has won some awards for her art work. All kids are creative in some way. Find out what they like to create. Good luck!
