    You're pretty unruly, Julie--but we love this!!! nm

    Oh goofy me....
    Checked the plugs and so simple, they were not in good enough. Thanks!
    thank you. This MD always says goofy stuff
    sigh
    My Earthlink is goofy today too. nm

    Your response to the boss was goofy
    There are loads of people who talk in the hospital. Are you paranoid, perhaps? If you had not mentioned to your boss, I don’t they would have gave it a monents thought. Seems like you called attention to your own self.
    My sincere apologies. Was just in a goofy mood
    and it struck me funny. Sorry.
    males...that is right!!
    I was thinking about your post and it hit me that most of the stuff i have spent the last 6 months getting rid of was all his!! I wonder if there is a reason males tend to br "pack rats". Maybe some deeper issues.
    I'm not NRA either, but most of the males in my family

    are outdoorsmen.  We've always got fresh fish and game meat.  Being raised on game, I think it tastes better than beef or other meats from the grocery store.  Plus, you never know what the grocery stores do to the meat.  There was a hidden camera news report of a grocery store that soaked expired meats in a bleach water solution and repackaged it for sale.  You never know if some lazy person is going to drop the meat on the floor and package it up anyways.  At least in processing our own meat, we know where it came from and how it was processed.


    Our state needs hunters because the deer and elk overpopulate.  They damage crops and run loose on the highway causing human deaths.  I would never hunt personally, but I do need to feed my family.  Our freezer will be full again soon with a side of beef and a deer.


    It's because they assume males in
    any predominantly female occupation are gay. Beautician, florist, nurse, secretary, bank teller, MT. Maybe people think all females in male dominated occupations are "butch"?? LOL What do you think of when you see a woman construction worker? A. Gay. B. Not pulling her weight. C. Overpaid fluff job for EEO purposes.
    There are many males on my account...
    and not a one of us is gay (altho I've been labeled that on these boards by some), so I can relate. However, who cares if they DO think we're all gay? I love my gay pals!
    So again having sex between 2 adult males sm
    or females is the same grouping as men raping boys??? Come on, you are the one that needs an education.
    Yes they can - especially elderly males.
    nm
    Do you know any males you can "borrow" for the afternoon?
    It's really hard to do this, but congrats on wanting to! If you can borrow a male, even a 20-something, it seems to make a difference in these kinds of atmospheres, and you get better, more honest answers.

    Had a car-buying experience when I was married, the husband came with me when it came time to sign on the dotted line. We found the car, negotiated the deal and I signed. Husband went to his 2nd shift job and I waited while they prepped the car.

    Unbeknownst to me, someone else made a slightly better bid on the same car a few minutes later, and since I was alone by that point, waiting, they kept me on the hook 2+ more hours, had me talk to a loan officer with some sad story (we already had the financing)and generally tried to make me back off on the signed contract, AFTER the husband was gone.

    I sat and watched soaps for 2 hours, kept my cool, they finally got tired of the run-around, and I drove away smiling in MY new car. The dorks.

    So, borrow a guy for a few hours, from somewhere reliable, and have a BALL while you do this!
    What kind of exam to males have to have??
    x
    Are males required to have testicular
    x
    Cleaning the toilet. I live with five males.
    Why should I have to clean it?  I don't miss!!! 
    Males don't have vaginas but do you know they are supposed to do Kegels? sm
    I didn't know til recently that males could do and are supposed to do Kegels routinely like us females are to keep the incontinence away. hear it is great pleasure for the women during sex like it is for men when women Kegel.
    you didn't offend me. you offended yourself and males who you know. if you think it's funny,
    i don't. and i don't like the buffoon dumb male vs very clever female schtick either. it is degrading to both parties. if the female is so smart, why is she with some dumba$$ guy anyway?
    I think I'm pretty bright and pretty good, too, but
    I am not a CMT. I am a medical transcriptionist who enjoys her job very much (most days). I have chosen not to pursue certification simply because I cannot afford to do so. I believe the certification is a nice thing to have, but I don't believe it is necessary for employment or for excellence in my job. If you can afford it, go for it. If you can't, don't feel too bad. You can still take pride in and do a very good job without it.
    love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
    the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
    Yep that's it, 4000. Love, love love the zoom
    But I feel like a dork typing...every time I try to type But it is coming out as Nut!
    I love it too - love doing my nails 5 hours a day and staying awake

    Love NOT getting paid while sitting doing my nails too.  It's a real turn on.


    I tell all my friends to try it -- sit in front of your computer while you have no money to pay your rent and instead do your nails, you get a real buzz down in the pit of your stomach.


     


    Also LOVE LOVE ESCRIPTION and make good money but...
    Can I ask how you sit there for 8 hours. Lately, I'm having a motivation problem. When I focus, I can rack up the lines, but lately, I get so easily distracted. My mind wanders and I struggle to get my lines. Any tips on how you stay productive who do you work for?? I work for Transcend.
    People either love it or hate it. I personally love it
    but I know a lot of people say you cannot make any money on it and will not work on it. I do okay. I'm obviously not getting rich but I am making a living. I found it easier than Dictaphone and faster such in downloading and uploading job and you only have to log on one system and not like Dictaphone where you have to log onto the VPN and then log onto the program. It's always worth a try, but yes, the biggest complaint I hear is that no one can make a living and the cpl isn't that great.
    I went back in house and love it. I love not being
    secluded. I was working in my PJs, less organized and feel much better now that I get up and dress for work and see people (even those in traffic aren't so bad anymore). I find that I have more of a life now, and my family says that I spend more time with them now.

    Working at home served its purpose for a long time; I was ready to go out into the world again now that I have no little ones at home.
    BD WONG! I love him! I love all CSI and Law and Orders!
    I am so addicted. I actually schedule my job and family around the shows LOL.
    Love love love my chair
    The arms can be lowered so they won't be in your way, I don't know about the tilt limiter. But I bought my off ebay about 6 years ago and can't do without it. No I do not think you can find another chair that even compares to the aeron, changed my working life completely, no sore back or butt. You won't regret it, but you will if you go for a cheap imitation.
    Well, this is just pretty much par for the
    course for MQ. Guess they never heard the saying "If it's not broke, don't fix it." I'm sure the underpaid tech people will fix it soon.
    But they have such a pretty name...
    Isn't that the main thing to look for?
    pretty much just what they are- I know nothing

    How are they like CD's, are they better, worse?  Basic info.  I've googled it, but still not sure.


    Pretty is as pretty does.
    and your not looking too good here.
    pretty....
    Thank you for reading my post and taking it the way it was written.

    Some others on this board twisted what I said - as if I was saying "everyone is doing it" by citing the fact that hospital staff are under the influence of various substances - drugs (legal as well as illegal - although someone took it to mean marijuana), alcohol, glue sniffing, aerosols, etc.

    Nurses and doctors have the highest percentage of addiction of any professionals - there are many factors that go into, but it is merely a fact, not an accusation or finger pointing, just a fact.

    Pretty!
    Very nice!
    Pretty sure you have to pay for that.
    Which makes it even sadder. That she paid for such a poorly worded post.
    I am pretty sure I know where the ad came from
    These are usually meger start-up places who think they can get by by offshoring and will find out very quickly how bad the work is going to be.  I see these all the time and am pretty adept at stealing the offshore business after the client gets a taste of reality.  :)
    Pretty much the same way (sm)
    This doc dictates on cassettes, but he only turns it in when he has filled up the tape. I've asked him to turn it in everyday. The only thing they want on their reports is the transcription date, which is what their accreditation requires. Their accreditation also requires a TAT within 4 days, so when he dictates from Wednesday to Wednesday, and I get the tape on Thursday, he is out of that 4-day range. The transcription date is sometimes a week or so later than the actual test date, which is what he doesn't want.

    Thanks for the tips!


    I do it now, pretty much always have sm
    Right now, it is a FT employee with benefits and a PT IC well paid (10 cpl) as well as some hourly QA work. As I have said many, many times, I am not a good sitter. Actual my fanny is in the chair, hands flying time is for full time is probably 5 to 5-1/2 hours, perhaps 6 a day. PT job is much the same, can't sit still probably only work 3 hours a day. The longest I ever sit at a time is the QA stuff where I will sit straight for the 1 to 2 hours that is going to take me.

    My income is full time money, about $900-$1000 a week and I don't eat, drink and sleep MT. My income is going up a bit now because I gave up cigarettes and I don't stop to go out and smoke. I take breaks, but the breaks are much shorter and I am faster and faster on the keyboard.
    Pretty much the same. SM
    Some things the programs I've worked with seem to learn quickly, some they seemingly never learn. (It may be that VR work attracts passive-aggressive-type computers. After all, no computer can really be THAT dumb!)

    Regarding making all those corrections, tho, use your expander. If yours won't record the Keystrokes you use to make all these corrections, get another. Let it delete "q.i.d." and type in "4 times a day" for you. Let it break one sentence into two for you. Let it type in a discharge diagnosis heading and then copy the admission dagnoses under it for you. Have it replace the phrases the computer will not learn with the correct versions for you. While you get paid for it.
    That is pretty much the only way to use them
    now because you need ULD and no phone company offers true ULD.  I worked with a company where I had to use a C-phone and I had digital phone service through my cable company.  I no longer work for the company, but I used it without any problems whatsoever. 
    Pretty much.
    Soon MTs will be nothing more than minimum wage workers.
    This is pretty much
    what I do. I make them for everything (plus individual words). Maybe because of the original way I was taught to make Expanders (using all consonants), I have had to alter my pattern in numerous ways (and now include vowels).

    I typically use more of the 2nd word when doing two-word combos, like, ihrn for inguinal herna and hdss for heart disease, but I do have others where I do the reverse because of feel or whatever.

    I continue to alters my patterns, shorten them and alter some because of letter combo comfort.

    I guess it's just difficult when the goal is to have them for "everything" but not being close (because how many endless combos would there really be?), so then I'm not sure if I have one for certain things or not. And given the fact that there are umpteen ways to say the same phrase, I often would swear I had made one for a certain phrase ... but then, a word or two was different.

    My thought was maybe it would be better to disregard certain types of phrases/words, and that is why I asked for examples of things you all do not make them for.

    When I do the same account or two more regularly, I have a lot less problems. When switching it up, I fumble more. I suppose there is a certain flow and type of speaking with each account and various dicators, and alternating too much disrupts the flow of my autopilot.

    Thanks for all the responses. If anyone thinks of anything to add, I will be checking back again.

    Thanks!
    Actually pretty much anywhere
    It's usually over by where the Boost and stuff are carried, Walmart, Walgreen's, Target, even some supermarkets. It tastes good too.

    Let me know how it works for you!
    They do work pretty well, but.......
    Hate to have to wear them for work, as it is so hot here they slide down my face. So far at my ripe old age of 58, I only need them for driving.
    Pretty much say the same thing
    We needed to be there, still do
    Pretty bad punishment...
    To be sent to OSi is truly torture...lol...
    I'm pretty sure it's "layed down"...
    according to Google search.
    Yeah, pretty much (sm)
    That's why Sunday/Monday can be rough sometimes.

    If I have nothing else going on I do stay up all night, preferably doing something productive. However, if I have to do something with "normal" people, I just try to take a nap Sunday evening.
    that pretty well covered it....
    Are they very quick with getting back with you when you apply? I have 5 years exp and taught one quarter of med trans at a local community college. I'm working in a doc office now (not doing transcription) but want to get back into working at home doing transcription. I had gotten away from it in 2004 because my husband got deployed and I wanted to make sure we had good insurance while he was gone which is why I took the job with the doc office. He was gone for 16 months and is now home and getting ready to take a really good job, which is going to allow me to start working at home again doing transcription. Hoping to hear from them soon. Thanks again for your input!!!
    Your time will come and it won't be pretty. nm

    Pretty scary. Do you actually think you
    are Frank?
    PRETTY GOOD
    GOOD GOIN PEEPS!
