    Just had a dictator say Happy New Year. at least 1 person sm
    knows there is a person at the end of the line.  ');>
    Happy New Year back at you! Have fun! We'll
    be fine, won't we, folks?  Have a good time!
    Would definitely capitalize "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" However,
    happy holiday season is nondescript and would put in small case. 
    Happy New Year everyone! I'll be out of town over the weekend. If you have any

    When you say slice onions, do you mean like one whole onion?

    In Calif., gas is around $4.11-$4.80, and

    One quick question - I saw the two garlic clarified, how about the onion?

    I get $23.50/hr. in N. Calif, which is still low for cost of living. nm

    Onion soup mix, 1/2 cup Madiera wine, carrots, potatoes.

    Cook roast slowly (325 for about 3 hours, add the potatoes and carrots, cook another hour, and serve.

    Or just slice onions on top the roast, add about 1/2 cup water, put in covered dutch oven, cook same as above, adding potatoes and carrots.
    I just dump them in a covered bowl with vinegar and sliced onion. nmx

    I dunno. I sure do miss my Selectric and those onion-skin copies. nm

    Cross country trip to CALIF and
    back. My husband and I took three weeks and drove to California and back through the Southwest. Saw Yellowstone and the Giant Sequoias, Santa Fe, Sedona, etc. We had never been there and it was great just driving with no set plans, stopping along the way whenever and where ever we wanted... such freedom.. My second best was a week and a half to Glacier Falls, Montana, but that's been years and years ago. Heck, any vacation is a great one! My bags are packed and ready anytime!
    $256.00 for June electric bill in Calif.

    Am curious if anyone's else is outrageously high.  Mine typically is $150-200 for summer months. 


    I keep temp at 82 during day, 78 at night.  Temperatures here soar to 95-100 though.  But, I live alone and have gas hot water, gas stove.


    Working at home has its pluses and minuses!  Leaving the air off for 8-10 hours a day while I was at the hospital working saved me a lot of cash in this utility bills.


     


     


    Sorry...wrong board. I am half asleep here in Calif.

    You must live in Calif - finding a good old doctor is nearly impossible here.
    It amazes me. But, it is true. The stories I have heard are heartbreaking.

    I blame it on the cap they placed on malpractice suits. Doctors here are complacent. In my town, we go to Stanford or UCLA for serious illnesses. It is well worth the drive.
    This heat is unbearable in central Calif. Air quality is bad. I have never felt so unhealthy.
    Over 100 degrees for 30 out of 35 days, the other days were 98 or 99. The air is so bad here in this pocket of the country that people are told to stay indoors. I sit for hours typing and then feel like a slug. Drinking gatorade for hydration and know it is high in sodium but am evaporating here, taking two showers a day as there is a constant dust cloud (particulates ugh).

    I want to move but doing it alone at the age I am is a daunting task. What if I end up some place that is just as bad? The expense would make it impossible to relocate again. Wish I were rich...
    I worked with a woman in her mid 80s. Did your friend/coworker live in Calif. by chance?
    She was great.
    Calif is attempting to revoke the "employee shares salary info with another employee" penalty.

    Don't cap happy holiday season. Cap the others and Happy Holidays alone. nm

    Forget all that mushroom soup stuff. Add carrots, celery, dry onion soup mix, a touch of tomato past
    Add flour to mixture when roast is finished for gravy. Home made mashed potatoes and green beans with almonds and a salad. Yum.
    Left over from wienie roast cheesy potato soup, french onion soup and squished sandwiches.

    Mine are in year-round thank goodness! They've started their new year 2 months ago.

    Union diesil mechanic - good pay, great benefits. We swap year to year on who brings home more sm
    money.....but I am an IC and he has all the benefits...health insurance/dental that the company pays for, pension plan, 401k, etc.  Factor all of that in and he makes way more than I do.
    to cowgirl - Last I knew, last year the job paid $25,000/year no taxes, etc.
    The hospital was bombed about a year ago, but not a lot of damage, very minimal damage.

    After I went to a 1-year MT course at a vocational school, it was so bad that I did the 2-year colle
    Not only did I finally receive the proper training, but the woman on the advisory board hired and mentored me. I also joined the local AAMT and networked. Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be. A community college will have a good program to include medical language, MT courses taught by local MTSOs, business English, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, etc.
    Heck, I did not say not to wish her a happy birthday! She deserves a happy birthday.
    I was just saying her birthday was on Sunday!! :) Why does everyone always want to read something negative into everything on this board. I certainly did not mean anything negative by it! I was just makin' it known WHEN her birthday was!!

    I think he makes $700,000.00 a year, and if they ask him to walk before his first year MQ has...sm

    to pay him a cool 1 million dollars.  You can check this out at the Medquist website.   I think the CFO makes $350,000 a year, and the head of IT makes $250.000 a year.


    P.S.  This does not include the perks, like expense account, car allowance, sign-on bonus, etc. 


    Our 16 year old son has been working for a year now to pay for his truck.
    He's learning how to sand and do body work and how the engine and transmission go together. My parents didn't buy cars for my siblings and I either. I had a 20+ year old beater car until I could afford to move up to a a newer one.

    I see all the nice new cars parked in the high school parking lot every day. It's nice that so many disrespectful punk kids get handed something nicer to drive than what all the teachers drive. Oh, well. Honestly, I think most of them borrow Mommy or Daddy's car or are the child of a doctor who can afford to hand them everything.

    Hopefully, my kids will take better care of their cars because they bought and built them on their own. You're not going to grow up to be responsible if you don't work hard for something and expect Mommy and Daddy to bail you out all the time.

    Oh, my Dad lectured us on even allowing our child to have a vehicle because Dad didn't have one until after he had worked his way through college, lettered on the football team, got straight As, lettered on the baseball team, yadda yadda. He either walked or hitched a ride. Yeah, well, times were different back then, Daddy-O. LOL At least my kid has the opportunity to work and earn his own car.
    IC - 30 hours week, $98K last year. So far this year - 28K. sm
    Individual IC - own account(s).
    Not me, owed last year, and expect to owe this year- sm
    or break even, had more expenses this year. Only owed $200 but still don't want to owe at all. Need to start doing estimated tax payments again so I don't owe! Guess I will get off my butt and do that this year.
    come on.. you cannot compare a 2-year-old and a 15-year-old

    46/F I have a 9-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy.

    Got $$$$ back last year but this year
    I have to pay them, sold a property I never lived in but I had enough sense to set aside $45,000 so just waiting on them to send me my WT2s so I can get started.
    HAPPY FOR YOU
    Glad to hear you found the perfect match....I am still looking for someone to really work my own schedule like they advertise. Enjoy!!! If you have any suggestions for me finding a place to work your own schedule, let me know..
    YES, i am happy there too, after 5 yr!

    To Happy MT
    I am happy at MDI just wish they would send a little more love our way.  I switch to different accounts when they are short and work many weekends and if I am correct I have worked most of the holidays.  I get a phone call or email last minute that they need coverage and I do not say no.  I start early and finish late.  I have talked to others in the same boat and they are sad..  I know they merged with Transend and it takes time to  get things in order but when it seems that some get the bonuses and some of us are overlooked it does not seem right.  I think they need to look at everyone in the same light and do the right thing.
    Is anyone happy with MQ?
    ???
    Happy now!
    23 the first time (then-husband got the 7-year-itch). 34 second time. I had two miscarriages the first time around. This marriage - We have two great little boys!!
    I am very happy nm

    Happy so far
    Hi, I have only been with MQ for 7 months, but I have friends that have been with MQ and have tried other companies, and the consensus is...their new system DQS (DocQscribe) is VERY user friendly compared to other company's systems. AND, as far as WE are concerned, MQ is very flexible time-wise. But I have read other posts that maybe new hires are more chained to a set schedule. My friends and I are out of 2 offices that seem to be very lenient as to scheduling. Personally, I work more hours than I signed up for. But, if MQ were to call when I am away from my computer, (bathroom), like a poster below stated about a different company, I would be VERY aggravated, especially since I am post-colectomy with less than satisfactory results!!! (If you get my drift.)
    Be Happy about it
    My 20-year-old son suffers every day from injuries he received during his high school football career. He has had broken bones, dislocated shoulders, and he has to wear a mouth brace due to jaw injuries. The medication he takes for his jaw has caused a stomach ulcer, which along with the pain from the jaw, caused his blood pressure to elevated. He said more times than I could count, "I wish I had not played football." Support his decision and be happy that he is not out there getting all banged up.
