stained bathroom floor/IDEA

Posted By: crittersmom on 2005-08-15
In Reply to: Nothing to do with MT but does anyone have any ideas on how to clean - sm - Laura E.

I had a similar situation with my "old" tile and a rug staining it.


I sprinkled Oxiclean/hot water mixture over a small part, then sprayed it again with very warm water...waited 10 minutes, went back in and the stain was very easily wiped away.  Hope it helps on yours.


I only use the good ol Oxi with 5% carpet shampoo and you've never seen carpets cleaner ..Hope this works for you.

Which ever one is in the bathroom.
:+
bathroom is actually my favorite because everything
And the nice smelling cleaning products are fun to use.  Anything with an orange scent.  I'd have to say the least favorite is dishes, I tend to let them pile up. 
gee, I don't know - would a peephole in the bathroom bother you?
Ask them if they are keylogging you. If they are not (haha) they may appreciate knowing they have the software.

Then get a new employer.
I still dislike cleaning the bathroom.
I have all boys.  Between them and their friends and the cat litter box, ugh.  It's got to be done at least twice a week.  I'd rather do anything else.  I've thought about hiring a housekeeper just to do that, but I'm teaching the boys how to clean the bathroom instead.  No half effort job accepted.  My Grandma is of the old school, so she always comments about how sad it is that I have to clean up after my husband and all our boys.  She wants me to keep trying to have kids until I can have a few daughters to help me with the housework.  No, I'd rather train the boys.  LOL
I don't know how long it takes YOU to go to the bathroom...
but 40 minutes sure is enough time in 8 hours...give me a break...
not all the time is spent in the bathroom..
one has also to eat, wash etc...don't you?
This whole discussion is just ridiculous.
Don't you find something better to do?
Really? What's good flooring for the kitchen and bathroom?
I definitely need something that will hold up to water. I'm just so tired of redoing the flooring in this house. We've only been here nine years and I'm tired of always remodeling or redoing everything. This is the very last time.
I forgot the bathroom - me and I have 3 boys (10, 5, 2) and a husband - YUK!!

New mow floor wax?
This doesn't sound like medical words....any ideas?
Floor damage
I know a lady who sold flooring for years.  She advised me never to use rugs with rubber backing on vinyl (sp?) floors for just this reason.  We never went into how to repair the damage if it happened, though.  You might try calling someplace that sells and installs floors.
med-surg floor
Medical-Surgical floor. The hospitals I worked when I was working in a laboratory would have it as Medical-Surgical Unit/floor.
Picking my jaw up off the floor
I thought Chris would win it all! :(
ok, got it - you were on floor laughing *LOL.nm
 
Oh man! I'm rolling on the floor here! Tooooooooo

funny!!!!  Isn't that the truth though about the name spelling?  I have one that says, "Last name is Doe.  Now let me spell that for you, D-O-E," but if the last name is Tatarczuk, you should be able to figure that one out on your own.


I have one that actually takes time out once in a while to spell a medication and he screws it up every single time.  He's very condescending and his attitude is like, "Here little uneducated typist, this is how you spell doxicyclene."


I should keep a log of is misspellings just for giggles, but who has time?


Thanks everyone, now that I look more at the floor, its a vinyl I guess -sm
so linoleum was probably the wrong way to describe it. Just hoping I can clean it so in the future whenever we sell (in a few years) we won't have to put in a new floor....will use tile next time though so I don't have this same problem. Another alternative is to cover the whole floor with the rugs and make it one uniform stain (then no one would know!).
As soon as I pick my head up off the floor,
I will tell you that I agree about  momentary  help, but not lifelong help due to dumb choices.  Maybe you could sign up for a free govt anger management class.  As for the money spent in "stupid Iraq", just wait till you see what  this country is like after Islamofascists turn it into another middle eastern country, complete with daily suicide bombers and a dictator rule.  You may not live along enough to see it,  but that's their goal.  Count on it.  Being nice won't make those nuts go away.   It didn't work with Hitler and it won't work with these sickos either.
med-surg floor. It's not a proper name. NM

But the paper would be stuck to the floor. . .

because someone spilled Kool Aid and didn't bother to wipe it up.


Red Kool Aid.


My cat sits on the floor right next to my chair
staring up right at my face, sometimes for hours, and if I don't realize she's there she will meow. How annoying is that! She loves to play and fetches her toy mice and brings them back like a dog. So I think maybe she wants to play but I can't get it through to her that mommy is working and I feel bad! :) Any pet psychologists out there? Help! lol!
Falling ON the floor with that one! LOLOL!!!!

Laying down on the floor with my feet on the

I operate the joystick with my foot if it is on the floor...
If I am reclined, then I can still do it with my feet by placing the controller between both feet and using either to hit the joystick.  I personally do not use rewind or fast forward ( I just use the auto backspace), but you can use the other buttons on the controller as fast forward and rewind. 
thats all good in theory....calling the floor sm
getting the numbers, dialing into the system, etc. etc. In a perfect world! These docs are not going to do that.

MTSOs are hired to provide a service. They do whatever they have to do to provide that service. I have also had the experience you have had working in the hospital system where turnaround was never met by the MTSOs. MTSOs were hired because turnaround was never met by the hospital either.

Do you ever wonder that these problems with turnaround both on the hospital side and the MTSO side is one reason that outsourcing got started???? Please don't flame me for that statement but I guess if the MTSOs are not going to be able to keep up with turnaround then they have to do whatever they need to do to stay in business. I don't agree with it and I wish it were outlawed, but its just food for thought.

Calling in on the weekend and listening to a dictation may work in a smaller hospital, but I don't think its a very good solution for a huge major medical center, at least not for very long.

From what I see on this board it's ok to bash those of us who ARE flexible and make it work. But it is not "politically correct" for us to say anything about the folks who want to work for MTSOs and not facilities, but don't want to be very flexible in their working hours. Just an observation.
A little 3in1 oil or WD40 might help, too. But protect the floor/carpet underneath until the oil has

Got floor model of chair that was perfect fit. Final mark down was $40. Went got home saw original

Lysol works great!! Either spray or Lysol Bathroom cleaner. nm

This is the whole idea
The corporations want it that way-- they don't give a rip about the "middle class". The CEOs just want to be able to buy a new yacht every year, new cars, have several homes all over the country and maybe the world, etc. It's all about GREED. That's why nobody will do anything about illegal immigration. They want to pay their workers as little as possible so it's all profit for them.
What is your idea of
"enough?"  How much do you think the job is worth?
An idea
for the businesses that you should contact are the ones where your friend has done business such as bank,church, her place of employment, and any place that her parents were involved in. When we had a fundraiser for someone that I worked with we contacted a local band and a bar with a dance floor to helped raise money for his injuries. They all volunteered their service free of charge. And many people showed up to help him out. Just a thought!
You have no idea.
Let's just keep it there.
Better idea
If you have an experienced MT doing the recruiting, he/she can tell just in a conversation whether the applicant does/does not know his/her business.  As you said, you're going to know within the first couple of days whether or not the applicant is going to pan out  If you're testing for an MT to do cardiac caths, start a conversation about cardiac caths.  All MTs I have ever known love to discuss their trade...if they know it.  These extensive tests put out by most companies these days are a horrific waste of time...they don't prove a thing!
Idea
Maybe it's like one website I went to, where it seemed the way to do it was to respond with an e-mail first (pasting a resume into your e-mail and saying what job you were interested in), and then they would respond and tell you what tests they wanted you to take?
I have no idea! -nm

Now there's an idea!
nm
Thank you for that idea. I can do that.
The obvious solution is always right in front of us, right? LOL
I have no idea what they are seeing that I am
Not at all.  Good for them if they are getting a better deal at Walmart.  Wasn't happening for me.
Have no idea what it could be, but if he has any (nm)

I have them...have no idea why you don't
You might try emailing the moderator or administrator of this site.
one idea
If you are using actual WavPedal software, try this first.  Open WavPedal - settings - options - file associations - and make sure .dss is checked (or add file type .dss and check it).  Close.  Then, right click on your voice file and "open with" and choose WavPedal.  Should open.  Sounds like your default player for voice files is not WavPedal.  I think it will ask you (can't remember off hand) then just choose YES for WavPedal as default for all files with .dss association. 
I had no idea. THANK YOU SO MUCH.


I have no idea what you mean. nm

Here is an idea

Start out not charging anyone anything but time.  Everyone who joins contributes a skill to the organization such as marketing, PR, etc.  It costs nothing to do e-mail newsletters, just time and some people to write for it.  Online meetings on Yahoo or MSN groups would be nothing to do.


Also getting a website can be pretty cheap if a few members would be willing to design it.  Everyone has a friend of a friend who has this business or that.  A lot of times, especially in the case of smaller businesses, they are willing to trade small services for exposure and advertising.  You would be amazed.


I used to work in Marketing for nonprofits before deciding to stay home as an MT. I also still do consulting work.  I am all for a new organization and would love to participate in any way I could to back to representing what "they" were supposed to.


Send me an e-mail.  We'll chat. 


Huh? what does this mean? no idea.nm

Thanks for this idea....sm
is there a way to find out what companies hire SE?  That sounds good.  What company do you work for if you don't mind me asking.  You could e-mail me if you want.  Thanks!
You have no idea how much better that
makes me feel! Hopefully mine does the same. I've unplugged it and am leaving it alone for awhile. I found out to fix it the cost will be around $300. I sure hope it works.

I do not know how my supervisor puts up with me sometimes, but she has me set up to work another way until I get this fixed. Thank you all for the help!
any idea
anyone know why it takes so long to get a count on the ichart site?  Been happening all week - takes up to a full day and 1/2.
Thanks so much for that Idea! sm
You know I'm beating myself up trying hard to figure out how to do the hard hyphen and hard space so it expands that way and your idea of doing it first then highlighting and entering it is not something I would have ever thought of!!! This works great. Thank you so much for all your help.
I Like your idea

I like your idea.  


No idea.
I have a not great account that gets cherry picked into extreme lateness. I don't mind if you cherry pick to get a decent doctor or two after having a ton of crappy ones but to cherry pick out all the good stuff and put the rest of us behind with all the bad ones is just wrong.
Idea - sm
I don't know logistically how to go about this, but as a sociology student I know there should be a way. What if we could somehow poll people to see if they approve of their records being sent overseas and use that in our letters?
I just got an idea
I have noticed that with every company i have worked for the general style has been not to reveal or encourage the MTs to talk.  This is totall a divide and conquer thing. It would be nice if we could all (safely without lossing our jobs) list ourselves somewhere and what company we work for.  If things are bad for everyone and we could team up...who knows.....
