In Reply to: My neighbor has NINE (9) Rotweilers in his backyard - Its awful..barking constantly!

if you have a video camera, tape every car that stops at his place and any transactions you might see (you do not have to be outside to do this - through a crack in the curtains/blinds works) take the tape to the cops - they will handle it. Or maybe they already have him set up on a sting....or are on the take. Where do you live city/state-wise?

    It takes awhile...
    When I was facing foreclosure it took them over a year to send the vacate letter...I filed for bankruptcy and the bankruptcy was long over before I got the letter.
    me too - once in awhile
    But I really like this board much better.
    We had them for awhile - sm

    It was a high-deductible ($5,000) "emergency" policy that never did pay out a dime on any of our claims - after one trip to the emergency room to the tune of $1,200 we decided that was not the best form of health insurance for our family.  We are now with Humana with a more realistic $1,000 deductible. 


    this has been around for awhile - sm
    A lot of states will not allow this. New York is one of them. Some of the ones I work on require me to save all tapes in case there is a descrepancy in what was transcribed and what was said.
    i did that awhile
    but one machine belonged to the company and i didn't want that conflict, so i had the tech install DQS on my personal machine for the 2nd company; he was able to copy my Expanders which helped tremendously. Of note however, i would have never thought it possible, but when i finally went with a company that had a different platform, they were STILL able to convert my DQS expanders to their own...so don't feel locked into one company because of time invested in expanders!
    I would keep the IC job for awhile
    I would keep the IC job for awhile, because who knows for sure how this "highly respected national" will work out? You could find you hate some aspect of it.
    Oh believe me I'm gone, but there were - for awhile - sm
    other good things about the company. In the last couple of months, however, there are some things that have happened that now make every little thing a PIA and I'm done. I just want my money without having to wait out till the next paycheck, especially since I will be quitting on the spot. You don't have to berate me - I've been doing that to myself all along! But, with the way the MT field is these days, a job is a job and it was consistent without work slowdown or stoppage.
    Yes, once in awhile
    I somehow get it into OVR. Thank goodness I know what has happened. And thank God for ctrl+z, because I have accidentally deleted stuff I needed many times! (You can use CTRL+Y to take it away again too!)

    Looks like I am using all the quick keys you do ... any others used out there? Thanks!
    Been away for awhile but VR-MT
    said it all. I also average over $20+ an hour. I really love it because as the above stated, the ESLs are picked up easily and I don’t have to strain my ears because VR gets most of what they are saying.

    He laid down for awhile, but he just did not seem to be able to navigate or walk because of the dizziness


    HELP PLEASE !!!  I can never get this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11


    I was on PeaceHealth for awhile SM

    For the most part, it was a very easy account.  There were a few dictators from you know where (like anywhere).  Just ask for several samples from each of those docs.  If you call the people working in the evenings, they were always very helpful when I needed a sample and would fax it on over.  The QA ladies are really great and very helpful, so do not by shy about asking them questions.  They know those few dictators are horrible and know most people have a terrible time with them.  I think you'll like the account.  If you go to the PeaceHealth website that have a really great physician directory.


    Good luck to you!

    It's been awhile, but can the help file or
    associated paperwork with the softwork help with basic and more complicated questions? I seem to remember that their customer support was pretty good, too.
    I get one every once in awhile that sounds as if

    he has a mouth full of thumb tacks.  If that isn't bad enough, his grammar is horrid.  He says "patient doesn't have no swelling."


    Geesh.


    It's be awhile since using my C-phone,
    I think there is a memory chip that wears out after awhile. I had a C-phone but I had to reprogram every time I unplugged it and I think this is what I was told. Hope this helps....
    I have been with them awhile now and they are great...

     but have no idea what they have to offer newbies...just have patience and stay strong, you will find the right fit.


    GOOD LUCK!


     


    My favorite, but I'm stealing this one from awhile ago
    You do so many ESL's you can carry on a conversation with clerks at any 7-11
    Thanks...I hadn't been hurting for awhile since the
    /
    Hat's off to you too!!! It's nice to be recognized every once in awhile!
    You're right. All of us deserve more recognition and MORE PAY! Thanks for the nice post, and I hope you are having a great MT Week as well.
    yes, and I found it really helped for awhile sm
    then I hit some life situations where I just could not cope. My doctor put me on Lexapro, and it was a life saver. If your depression is mild, 5HTP is a really good start. St. John's Wort barely took the edge off for me, but the 5HTP was quite good.
    I have been trying to locate info on this for awhile...sm
    I always get annoyed because I have partial hearing loss and use closed captioning and the spelling is HORRENDOUS. I always said I want to transcribe that stuff!! Please share info if you can!!
    There was a post here awhile back about sm

    someone using a heated keyboard -- that might help.  I have used the typing gloves before when my hands/wrists were flaring up, but I generally found they slowed me down a bit.  However, if your fingers and hands are cold and stiff, that slows you down too, so it might be worth it.  Hand-Eze is the only brand name I can think of, but I am sure there are lots of others to choose from.  You can usually find them at places that sell craft supplies, maybe a little less expensive than the sites on the web.  Good luck. 



    Argh...I was there for awhile and no one showed up
    so I left. Please post a new time so I can join. I was really looking forward to it. Tonight works for me.
    I totally can relate and it does happen and will for awhile.
    I lost my dad, going on 6 years now and still have my moments. I can assure you that they will get farther and farther apart as you go through the normal grieving process. Another close relative also passed away last year and I'm still going through the same thing. I'm afraid if you put your pictures away, that you'll grieve more from missing him so badly, at least that's how I'd feel, so my pictures are here on my desk and that's where they will stay.

    There'll always be something that triggers the loss that you feel but after awhile it just won't hurt so bad. I remember walking through a craft fair and seeing something that reminded me of my MIL and looked over at my husband just to see that he had the same reaction I did when we passed that item. It's really odd how certain things trigger our feelings of loss.

    When you look at the pictures, try to think of some of the good times that you and he shared, since you were so close. As you remember more and more of the good things, you'll hurt a little less and if after a time that does not help, then you should see outside help. Yes, there are times you'll still cry, but it won't last as long as before. The grieving process is different for every person, but I do believe what you're going through sounds normal to me.
    That would be his mug shot when he was arrested quite awhile back..nm
    ;o)
    Have used stickers, lasted awhile but not that long.
    I have a Microsoft ergonomical keyboard (curved) that I have been using about three years now, and the letters are still good.  However, you might want to try one of those pens that can be used to write on CDs and other metallic materials.  Cheaper than buying another keyboard.  As stated, the stickers worked but not for very long as I remember. 
    You're good for awhile, don't worry!
    If you wear out a keyboard, then worry! Had my laptop since 9/11, can still read the keys or in a few keys almost invisible but, I know where they are! Do well! Quit being nervous, it slows you down!
    Awhile back on this board someone shared a place where
    they would tell you what hardware your computer was running.  I can't find it and need it again.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.
    Tell them you need to be paid more for the new account. After awhile it should get easier to unders

    Has anyone asked to be transferred out to an office that MIGHT be open for awhile. Is there anyone
    in Amherst that is willing to get this situation taken care of or is that a lost cause.
    I worked at Home Depot awhile back
    for 3 years in the paint department. I have done them all and also taught the classes on Sundays. You might want to call your local Home Depot and ask when they have their paint classes. Lots of information, and they should let you try out the techniques as well.
    whoever posted awhile back about Tahiti Sweetie -thank you!
    My 18 yo daughter and I went to Bath & Body Works - I bought one for her and one for me - what a treat !  Yum !
    Yes, I bought a dozen or so awhile back and over half did that....sm
    I have always used Maxell but that batch was really bad.   I was wondering if they had been on the shelf too long.   I went ahead and bought 12 more (different place) and so far these have been OK. 
    I thought I saw it here awhile back but I can't find in archive search. sm
    I'd read here (I thought) about herbal antidepressants including 5-HTP and something else, but I can't find where I saw this.  If anyone can be of help, I'd sure appreciate it.  Thanks.
    I have been around awhile, and will last making good money as long as this field does.

    Awhile back there was a job posting for a typist to do closed-captioning TV show transcrips...sm

    does anyone know the name of that company?  Any information would be appreciated. 


    Takes one to think you know one?
    x
    Whatever it takes
    to remove yourself from that situation within reason, do it.  If you think the arrangement with your brother is going to keep your BF from slinking back in, the 'brother' all the way.  If his habits change in the future, you'll just have to make necessary adjustments at that time.
    Takes one to know one!
    I am with the program and I enjoy very much working for MQ!

    If people are not spoiled at MQ, then why on earth are they now complaining about having a set schedule? Why don't you get the with the program and look at all the companies that are hiring and when you realize that 90% of those companies want a set schedule, then I will be waiting here for an apology. Until then, go brush your teeth!

    As far as being a dope, why the heck are YOU STILL WITH MQ IF THE SUPPOSEDLY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF YOU - HMMMM????


    As many as it takes! LOL
    If the doctor dictating can't be bothered to dictate away from the gossiping females at the nurses' station, speak clearly and slow down, why should we lose money because they're inconsiderate? It's better than guessing and getting it wrong or just making stuff up. You'll get the hang of the more difficult dictators if you keep on doing them, but even they can't control background noise or static.
    you have what it takes to be and are sm
    a successful MT! I don't see how anyone could be a good MT with an interest in medicine. Too much of this business about how many lines to type nowadays etc and no interest in medicine, no wanting to do research etc. I have seen several folks like you in my career and hired every one of them. They are still transcribing today and have great careers. I am beginning to think its futile to try and explain this to some folks. They either get it or they don't and want to argue.

    Obviously you are a great MT and you know what it takes. I have a couple ophthalmology books and can part with one if you want it. E-mail me!
    Takes a few pp's for deducts to come out.
    Yep, filled out paperwork first.

    Call your supv or better yet call your training coord or payroll people.

    That's what they are there for.
    I can't do that because it litterally takes my
    breath away. It's like I'm smothering. My aunt had wood heat and I couldn't even visit.
    Date? Isn't that where a guy takes you out
    And expects to get sex afterward? If you don't cooperate, that's the last time you will ever see him. No thanks-- my furry critters are a lot more loving and faithful and are not the least bit selfish.
    What's the difference if she takes
    6 hours to do 8 hours' worth of work, or if she takes a break for 2 hours after she does say 5 1/2 hours, comes back and finishes up her "8 hour" schedule? Would that make you "feel" better? Oy-vey!  A day's work is a day's work, but you want ALL of her time. What is the problem? Work ethic? I think not.  She has done a FULL days' work in less time than what you would like, so what?  If one does 8 hours' work in 6 hours, then anything over her 6 hours would be OT, oh that doesn't count in your book.  Would you pay more for her to work OT?  I bet not... The only thing she would get for being a good, fast transcriptionist is fired for NOT doing more than her share...niiiiiice... Crazy!
    It takes a little while to get used to the lingo, sm
    but you'll do fine. Just get in some practice before you start on production. BTW, I've noticed over the years that most of the work services get as "overflow" is ortho and OB/GYN.
    I have heard that before but the one that takes the
    cake is the one who took the recorder to the bathroom with him.
    It takes concentration
    Just imagine you are Jessica Rabbit - remember the way she walks? LOL
    Mine always takes...
    the $ out immediately.  Most of the time the transactions show up within an hour or two online.  There are times when the $ is taken out but the transactions don't show up for several days, sometimes even a week.  I wouldn't worry too much about it. Since it is a holiday weekend, they probably took the $ out already and it hasn't shown up yet.
    $22.00 plus tip, takes 1/2 hour nm

    Awww, that takes the fun out of it! sm
    I look like a little kid when I eat corn. I just love it. I wind up making a meal out of it. I have butter, salt and pepper on my face and don't bother to wipe it until I am done. Terrible, aren't I? But, it is so yummy.
    I have just found that it takes sm
    so much more that just the actual typing when you gain your own account.  You have to deal with the obtaining your money part, and the phone calls for dictation not in place or they misplaced it.  It is great, but there are some downfalls to having your own account.
