In Reply to: Anyone else have the family pet who has to sit directly on your foot pedal? My dog (who is an 80-lb - memt

She also likes to lay right at my chair, so when I roll it, I am always on her tail or something. She drives me crazy too. She has to be everywhere I am. Love her to death tho! Don't want to be without her.

Golden Retriever! Love my golden! nm

I have a Golden Retriever that needs her walk every day, sometimes
twice a day. I walk 2 miles daily and go to the gym at least 3x a week. No big butt here, although I have noticed things shift as we get a little older. I am 39 and my boobs shift to my armpits (LOL) Any exercises for them?

A 3yo yellow lab and a 2yo golden retriever. sm
Believe me, they keep me busy! The yellow lab is a freak about his rubber ball - has to have it with him every second or he goes crazy. The golden retriever is still very much a baby but is getting better. Both of these breeds are considered a "puppy" until they 3yo, so I'm patiently biding my time til they leave the puppy stage. I love them to death, tho, and can't imagine life w/o them. The lab is the absolute best dog I've ever had. Great with the kids, good protectors.

Anyone out there own a Chesapeake Bay Retriever?
I have an 8-month old 'pup'.  I say that in quotes because Nitro is bigger than my 5 and 10-year old Labs.  I know that Labs are h*** for the first 2 years then calm down to be great dogs.  Will Nitro be the same?  He is absolutely the most bull headed dog I have ever had.  Took him to obedience class and he graduated (how, I don't know), but he seems to have his own agenda and it depends on whether he feels like listening.  I work from home, but if I leave he gets so excited when I come home that one time he jumped straight up and took my sunglasses right off my face, but his body never touched me.  However, I have young grandchildren and he is soooo gentle with them and protective.  He gets plenty of exercise.  We have 5 acres and a large  pond and he will swim for literally an hour straight.  He has great genes - father is Amer. and Canadian champ and mother is Amer. champ, certified obedience, certified companion dog and certified rescue dog.  I love this dog. He is the smartest dog I have ever had - learns quick.  I would just like to know if someone has an older Chessie and what I could expect in the future.

2 Labs - Maggie and Samantha - our dogs own the house - we just pay the mortgage!
Our Golden used to be that way sm
I found that if I ignored the storm and went about my daily routine, he calmed down. Also, if you have the tv on with the all the weather announcements that go beep, beep, beep, trying putting the tv on mute. I found the noise with those announcements drove him nuts. He's much better if he doesn't hear that constant beep, beep, beep. We also took him outside to see the sky, play in the rain, etc. It worked. He's no longer afraid. Lots of petting worked,too. Good luck!

Does anyone know anything about Golden Isle medical transcription?

Golden Isles Transcription - sm

Question for anyone who has been with them long enough to form an opinion!  How is work availability and pay scale?  Do they offer vacation time?  If not, do they allow you to take a week off (unpaid) for vacation.  How flexible is scheduling? How are the QA people?  I have checked the archives and cannot find a whole lot.  Maybe a fairly new company? TIA!


Don't get hung up with the golden handcuffs. (SM)

It is so easy to convince yourself you cannot make as much money at a different company  or on a different account, or never find anything better, so you stay where you are, taking all the abuse in the world.  In management, this is called the Golden Handcuff, and they rely on it to keep the same employees, never give a raise, never give respect, and just continue to walk all over you.


In this profession you are very mobile if you can transcribe at all.  It may take a month to get used to a new system, a new account, or whatever, but your self respect is worth it in the end.  There are a lot of companies out there that actually do appreciate employees, and it certainly does not seem to be any of the companies who are mentioned frequently on these boards.


I changed jobs about a month ago, thought I would never learn, but in a week I was making far more with a small MTSO than I ever did with a large company.  Treat yourself to a new beginning and a new year. 


 


 


 


 


Golden Isles Transcription? sm

Can anybody tell me anything good or bad about Golden Isles Transcription.  They have an opening for oncology account.  Thinking about jumping out of the Medquist boat.  Anybody? 


When you teach your child about the Golden
x
My Golden does that same exact thing every evening at the
exact same time, 9:30 p.m. This usually happens after she is finished eating. We leave her bowl down 24/7 and she eats whenever she is hungry, so food never became an issue. She tends to eat mostly in the evening around 9 PM and she gets energy spurts right after. How funny is that!

She is 4 years old and still plenty active. She is my best buddy though. Awesome breed, would never want any other.

Labs and retrievers must have exercise every day. We walk for at least 30 minutes with at least 15 minutes of free run for her in an open field.


Love my Golden!

Golden cuffs! sounds kinky or more like
socialism again.  Why doesn't the owner have a right to profit from his/her/their investiment?  This isn't a debate about what profit is acceptable and what isn't.    As another poster said, it isn't YOUR money on the line.  I bet you would B&M no what what job you did, who you did it for or what standards (or lack of standards) you would be held to or not wish to be held to.  You either get it or you don't.  This issue isn't confined to the MT business...which brings a question to mind...if you feel you are being mistreated, you must like it because you don't seem to be getting out of it!  I firmly believe in capitalism...what can I say, I'm a fan of Ben Franklin!
Everyone wanted me to wait, I just couldn't. We do have another dog, a golden, but he is my hubby's
dog. Just not quite the same. I like lap dogs and he weighs in at 120 pounds, too big for my lap. The two dogs get along great. The golden loves the fact that he now has someone to play with, as my other one was much too old to do anything but eat, sleep and potty, all in that order. There was quite a bit of adjustment, but it has worked out great.
When I was little I thought it was a giant golden potato chip- sm
we even called it that every year...don't remember how that got started though, funny now.
Thinking of applying at Golden Isles Medical Transcription..sm
Would someone with some inside information please email me?  I would like to know some particulars about this company before I think of applying for a job.  Would be interested in their platform, the type of accounts, their line rate, whether they require weekend work, and anything else you would care to share!  Thank you.
My neighbor had a golden lab that went to obedience school and was shot in their yard because of
s
He loves that I
am always ready to go at a moments notice and he doesn't have to wait for me.

He also loves that I am very smart. He jokes and calls me *the smart one in the relationship* because I seem to know a little bit about everything.
She loves this man.
Just because they are having a disagreement does not mean she would be better off without him.  The parents maybe, but I doubt her DH feels like he would be better off without his parents, even if it is true.  This is an issue that can definitely be worked out. 
Loves him?
I feel for HIM that he passed at such an early age. Hopefully he is on to bigger and better things . . . but when he was about 15, she gets drunk, drools all over him, and calls him 'Schmoopie' on national television and that is love??? She is nothing more than a gold digging skank, and as far as I've seen loves herself more than anyone or anything else.


To the one who LOVES VSR
Were you a very slow typist? All I know is that I have been doing this for about 7 years and had gotten to the point where I could pretty much type along with the dictator and when done did not really have to make corrections or edit once I transcribed the report the first time. It was pretty much perfect without any corrections to be made and I was getting paid double the amount. Now I am spending the same amount of time and getting paid half less. I don't see how this could benefit anybody or why anybody would LOVE this unless they were a very slow typist to begin with!
I must be one of the only ones who loves it
It's probably because I was medical secretary/ transcriptionist/paralegal for over 20 years before I became an MT. I recently started back working part time as a LT. It is very hard and they can definitely run hundreds of pages as the above poster said, but the TAT is usually a week or more. The work I'm transcribing now needs to be done in 2 weeks. There is a website that you should look at that has general as well as legal jobs. It's www.tiptopwebsite.com/cslusher. Hope this helps.
Thanks! My whole family loves this and now

No way! He loves the wacky tabacky.
Don't you remember when he and Linda were arrested in Japan for brining marijuana into the country?  It was a big scandal.
Awwww. She just loves you and wants some attention. sm
I have one cat in particular who always hits the keys.  When I see her coming, I have to roll my keyboard drawer back under the desk or my transcription will look like this or get signed off prematurely.  zzzz zzzz zzzz zzz zzz zzzzz zzz zzzx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx

Thanx Romey ... I loves me some Dr. House! - nm

Only use Purina - my puppy loves it! nm

He tells me he loves me all the time, and not

only does he tell me, he shows me.  He isn't romantic at all, but he does little things all the time that shows he is thinking of me.


He likes to share new experiences with me, he enjoys going to craft shows with.  He isn't particularly fond of working in the yard, but he knows how much I enjoy it and he spends hours working in the yard, even when I'm not working with him. 


He cooks and helps around the house (usually without grumbling).  I could serve him burnt toast for supper and he would thank me for a good meal.


He overlooks my faults.


 


He loves me despite my faults and I know I can trust him.
:)
#1 He loves that I am his best friend and that I don't try to be his momma. #2 - The sex! ;)

i thought i was only one who loves Rebecca
my favorite part in the movie is when he kisses his finger and put it on her forehead and she just lets out a sigh. You forgot The Bad Seed. Another excellent oldie:)
My cat loves to sit on the window sill too...
I make sure and keep the blinds up some during the day so she can do so. I think she likes sunbathing. My other cat could care less. He's getting older though. He is definitely past the age of wanting to "hunt" anymore. The youngest still trys to get out sometimes, but is generally pretty happy sitting at the window (this was a wild cat rescued out of the woods too BTW). The older one we let in the backyard with us sometimes. He just sits there and walks around some, but that's it. None are allowed outside by themselves though, especially since we just moved and they could run off and get lost easliy.

I've had inside and outside cats my whole life. It is a personal decision and just depends on the circumstances I think.

I'm an old-timer who loves PRD also and will share with you what little I know

PRD is DOS based and must run in DOS-based WP program.... I have a link that explains how to load WP DOS if you are interested.  Looks pretty complicated to me... I gave up as realized I was eventually going to have to move to Windows.  Bought InstantText which allows you to add PRD glossaries - but I hate it!!

Misery sure loves company...
I'd bet my last dollar (that I made transcribing today) that any other job has the same hang-ups!  Tired of the same old thing, low pay...  It is the economy.  Everything is going up, we're not the only ones suffering!  Everyone is!  When I get those types of feelings I often think of the women/men with spouses fighting the war!  Now, that's something to groan about!  Oh, I'm soooo bored (barf)!  Life is what ya' make it...  for sure...  Good luck in your endeavors whatever it may be... 
That's why AHDI just LOVES them Indians!

Yep, I agree. Frank loves us and only wants the very best for our lips.
:
There's the difference, right there. I work for an MTSO who LOVES sm

for us to make money because then SHE makes money. I have been on the same accounts for five years.


I can't understand why people get switched around like they do in other places (I've worked for EDiX and another small MTSO and they switched people like mad).


 


Chicken Cutlets!!!!!!!!!!!! My family loves them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SM
Pound the breasts out flat with a mallet and coat in egg and milk; then dredge them in Progresso Italian breadcrumbs and crushed saltine crackers mixed with Romano Cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.  Flash fry them in hot peanut oil and serve them hot with tortellinis and pesto sauce and a nice fresh salad. 
My dog loves his brown rice and chicken!
He turns his nose up at most dog foods.  Found out he was actually eating the cat food.  For some reason the cats stopped attacking him when he got near their food.  A few weeks after I put the cat food up on a bench where he can't reach it, he had lost 5 lbs.  He'll eat the dog food now, but he loves his special rice and chicken once in a while.

Reverse poll: What are the 2 things your DH loves about YOU? see msg

After reading the poll a few threads down, last night I asked my hubby what were the two things he loved about ME the most.  Without hesitation he said:  "your encouragement" (towards him) "and your intelligence."  (This is coming from a learned man himself.  That was truly uplifting.) 


 


 


misery loves company, and we're all with you!
I would be downhearted too. But if this is the company's norm, you might decide to cut your losses early. It may have been a rough day for the company in some way, but i would certainly expect more and better communication in the immediate future. Sure am curious who this outfit is.
as my kids would say, make like a duck, and let it roll off your back!
Six-Feet Under
I was totally stunned - can't believe it.
Six feet under

I KNOW!!!  We were all sitting there with our mouths about hitting the floor.  We could not believe it.


Please, please, no more on Six Feet Under
It's killing me not to read these posts.  I "Tivo'd" it and haven't watched it tonight.  That's what I look forward to on Monday nights.  What will I ever do when it goes off???
