    Thanks, Yeppers!
    I will do that!
    Yeppers! sm

    Lots of phrases and even whole paragraphs with just a few keystrokes.


    There are some abbreviations, so what I do is use, for example, "cad" for coronary artery disease, and "xcad" for CAD, or "svc" for superior vena cava and "xsvc" for SVC. The ones they almost always abbreviate, like CABG and COPD, I do the opposite way.


    Great minds think alike!


    Yeppers, it never ends. (sm)

    They act like they're doing you a huge favor to make $60.00 a day.  Who can get by on that????  I hear ya, I've worked for a company too where I made $3.00 an hour.  And they rant and rave about how good their company is, PULEEZE!  If they were so great they wouldn't be advertising!  If they paid well they wouldn't be advertising!  Wish they'd get the picture!  If they truly paid well and were good to work for we'd all be lined up to work for them! 


    Sick and tired.


    Yeppers, hit our schools today!
    No word on how many, but they were being flown into CR as of Tuesday, sure that is just the start of it.
    Yeppers -- good ole Gregg
    I did the same thing and if I expand the abbreviation it has an X on the end - HPIX is my header expansion for HISTORY OF -- ya know da rest :)
    Yeppers, it is polite if they do give you notice...
    but it not legally required unless you have it contained in a contract somewhere.
    motivation, anyone?
    Please, I desperately need some motivational tips...I have been in a funk for quite a while now and can't seem to get over it. Plus, I am in the middle of moving--yuck--and trying to pack, clean, cook, work, etc...AHHH, the list goes on and on and on... Thanks for "listening", just had to vent...but your tips are more than welcome and appreciated!!! this is what's gonna happen to me...any second now!!!
    no motivation

    motivation
    That is my goal. It is really a simple, obvious solution but man is it hard to actually do it--I have yet to achieve this. Thanks for letting me know that it has actually been done by a for-real MT! So easy to let it take over your whole day/week/life. And it is never enough. I want to be like you when I grow up. :-)
    I have motivation and it is
    my $$$ and I do make a decent salary, made even more in the past when I had more than 1 job but cut back on my own. I could care less about a pat on the back- higher ups are not there to give huggies - my goodness, do your job, do it well and enjoy what you can buy with the money you make or get a third job if 2 jobs are not enough.....
    motivation
    This sounds crazy to me. In the time it takes you to push a button, reload your change ect., you could be typing more lines. But if this works for you great! To me it sounds like a waste of time.
    What is the motivation?
    I had nothing to do with being outsourced to VR, not my choice but it came. I have worked in this business since the 70s- outsourced twice and I care nothing about pounding the pavement in my late 50s to look for another job- I stayed with the company outsourced to. I love VR (some straight) and can hit over 600 lines an hour on VR which adds up to a good salary for me and what I want and need. VR is not going to take the place of editors- the system 1 month will start making same mistake over and over that has not been there say 4 months ago so a human still has to listen and change. I get occasional straight typing. Why, oh why should I refuse to work for a company so you can be satisfied or happy? I owe you nor any other MT I know anything. I work to satisfy myself and my family. I have the job I love and hope it continues on. By the way MTs have been fussing for some time about the possibility of things like this. I would suggest younger MTs if they think this is the case- find SOMETHING else to do. My golly. Why would a person sit around on the Titanic when you think there might be an end you might not like?? I myself very satisfied. Thank you!
    my motivation: you don't work, you don't eat
    simple, eh?
    I'll take some of that motivation, too.
    My neighbors were fighting all night after I stayed up too late discussing our home remodel with DH.  I can't bring myself to get busy this morning.  I want to go back to bed after only two hours of sleep in a row last night.  I'm also excited because if we do an addition on the house, I get my own office with a closing, locking door.  I'd rather be drawing up floorplans and taking a nice long bath than working.
    I used to go to the gym, but lost motivation - so now
    I have a treadmill and an exercise bike in the house and I'll jump on them for 10 minutes at a time throughout the day - it's a good break from work and the time adds up. I only do 30-40 minutes 5 times a week, but it has helped me stay in shape! I also lift 5 lb. weights a few times a week - nothing strenuous, just a few arm exercises my brother, who is a personal trainer, taught me. Good luck - I know it's hard when that fridge is there all day long. I tend to eat when I'm stressed so it is particularly difficult on certain days.
    MOTIVATION, HMMMMMMMMM
    Salary for food, clothing, housing- work equals this. I think simple deduction.
    coffee motivation
    ok I feel sooo unmotivated to work even when I am right in front of my computer. I am just off task, thinking about other things. I lack the focus and brain energy to type. When I drink strong coffee or energy drinks, I am super productive. I enjoy typing and get lots done when I have been using caffeine. What is going on here?
    caffeine motivation
    ok I feel sooo unmotivated to work even when I am right in front of my computer. I am just off task, thinking about other things. I lack the focus and brain energy to type. When I drink strong coffee or energy drinks, I am way more focused and productive. I enjoy typing and get lots done when I have been using caffeine. What is going on here?
    That's not a bad idea actually--good motivation! (nm)

    motivation or lack thereof....
    Do i totally understand! I have been doing this for 10+ years and keeping the production up lately has been a real struggle, not only financially but emotionally. Hence, I am returning to school. It is giving me something else to focus on - a goal. Otherwise, I feel like I will be typing the rest of my life. Take some time off??? I would love that !!
    I have diagnosed myself with motivation necrosis, possibly secondary to DQS. SM
    I hope it's not terminal.  Not old enough to retire yet.  Anyone else with this sickness?
    1500, lucky if I make that, lost my motivation, how do you guys do it ?

    Never get the same dictators, all the OPs are not  the usual appendectomies, T&As, etc, way more extensive, neurosurgery, spinal, etc.  Have 2 accounts, over 150 pages of account specifics, 2 systems in and out, type about 1-2 report from backup account, just enough to waste more time closing out of ChartScript and loging into C quence, then back to CS.  Typed about 1 H&P this  year.  I have no normals.  Rarely ever get ESL dicators though.  Giving myself about another month or two.   Lost all motivation.  How do you guys do it ?   I really need a pep talk.  I just can't concentrate any more.   


    Generally 200 lph, but depends on work type, I can do more with OP notes, has to do with motivation
    I hate HP, consults, and DS, but that is the majority of what I do. I always, always do better with OP notes.
    My motivation is that the sooner I get my work done, the sooner
    I can go play.  I hate being tied to this desk all day long.  I'd rather be outside or reading a book or playing with the kids.
