HA. That made me laugh and cry.

I'm German so I guess I am at the bottom of the hiring list. 


ROFL that made me laugh!! nm

I had one that actually made me laugh outloud. sm

This woman doctor is dictating away and then all of a sudden she's on the cell phone.  Apparently they had just handed down the Enron verdict at the time and her husband had called to tell her about it.  So she's blabbing away, "They're GUILTY!  Oh my gawd.  No I ddn't see it.  What channel are they showing it on?"


So she goes on for a few minutes and another woman in the office just started laughing hysterically.  The woman who was laughing must have been giving the doctor hand signals because the doctor says, "Oh my gawd, I gotta go.  I forgot I was dictating."


The doctor got back on line (with me) and she was trying to apologize, but couldn't stop laughing and the woman in the background was losing it, she was laughing so hard.  The doctor finally composed herself with a few giggles in between and finished the note, but before she hung up she apologized about 5 more times, trying not to laugh, and then you heard both of them just losing it with laughter before she hung up.


In this case, it really made my day because laughter is infectious, and apologies are worth their weight in gold in this business. But I know what you mean about the ones who really don't care.  It's happened to me too and there isn't a darn thing funny about it.


That made me laugh out loud
15 blanks! I laughed out loud. Because, I had one which I think was 20 LOL. Well, it was worthwhile...I typed a lot of discharges for people who wanted to go home to their family and hopefully those stats got out in time. There ended up really being only 1 ESL that was horrible. When I got back on later in the day, it was not so bad. Maybe the turkey brain food helped my hearing. :)
Your story made me laugh ...
... three times throughout the course of the last two hours. Thanks. Kinda broke up my teeth-grinding sessions listening to this woman.

You rule.
No offense, but this made me laugh.....

Where do you live that you get polite customer service from McDonald's?  lol.  I'm lucky if they acknowledge me when they stick their hand out the window for my money. 


Your post made me laugh even more than the original! NM

Unbelievable! The pedagogy part made me laugh out loud.

Been there. That's why I work at home. Thanks for sharing.


You are hysterical Purple!! Made me laugh at this late hour!
Thanks, chick!
Well, it is called the World Wide Web! Sorry, your post made me laugh! No offense... but duh! nm

should've been good laugh not could laugh

i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
I don't know how it made such a small diff in your invoice... made a $100 diff in mine! (sm)

If it were only adding up to three bucks, I wouldn't sweat it. $100? Yeah, that's baseball registration for my son for this year. I am not giving tabs, returns, etc. away free when it adds up to that much difference!  Why should I charge less for a Return than I would for a"K"?


 


 


Please don't laugh....sm
Do not use suppositories vaginally......

If you are not vomiting, also, try something oral. If you are, patience I'm afraid is the only answer unless you become dehydrated, at which time you can receive something IM or IV.

But, a definite NO on the suppository question.

Feel better soon!
A little laugh

I told my 18 yo son today about a close family friend and his wife had a baby boy today and that he called me right away to let me know because he was so excited.  My son looked at me and said, "Yeah right mom, really, he had a baby today."  I looked right back at him and said, "Yes son, it takes both people to have the baby, a girl certainly can't get pregnant by herself!" 


This is funny to me because I know my son not sexually active yet (remember I know his girlfriend) and I certainly didn't expect to hear something like that, just reminded me of the little boy my young man still is. 


For a laugh
and to see if any other MTs had times where they didn't want to disturb their beloved pets during a workday and made the same sacrifice. Lighten up. Was just a funny moment, that's all.
laugh
great1!!! loved it!! he he he. LOL.
LOL! Thanks for the laugh!

Thanks for the laugh
now there's an innovative use for the BOS and something it is good for! LOL
thanks for the laugh!! nm

All you can do is laugh...if you don't
you'll just go insane!! LOL
Thanks for the laugh!!
I kind of like the story, too!
What a laugh

Don't laugh!
I cut it all off with a steak knife and eat it with a fork! How does one eat corn vertically? Huh?
I have to laugh at this
What you're asking is like Gateway asking Dell, Coca-Coca asking Pepsi or Marriott asking Hilton to hand to them on a silver platter information to get their business off the ground so they can compete with the other.  Rotsa' ruck pal!
Have to Laugh
Rather than be upset, annoyed or anything else I can be for this ESL that sends a 25 minute dictation, with pauses, very strong dialect, and grammar issues ending up to be a 1.5 page report - I had to laugh, when he started giving me the punctuation too - as far as he is concerned this is one long paragraph with commas and semi colons just about every third word. No kidding. Too bad they ask that I clean it up - so many times he want shis work VERBATIM - and he dictates his instructions with force during his tirade.
Just have to laugh.
I so enjoy this board!
Okay, here's a laugh for you (sm)
This is a verbatim account and it would serve them right if I transcribed it the way it was stated.  "Chest x-ray of the right foot is pending."  I don't know how they teach anatomy in his country but it certainly is different from here.
Thanks for the laugh :-) nm

Proofreading and had to laugh. sm

In one of my word programs I noticed I apparently typed does not too fast and it came up as "doe snot."  The spellchecker didn't pick it up.


After I got done laughing about the poor female deer with post nasal drip, I entered a quick correct in my expansions.


That's SO funny. Thanks for the laugh!

Need a good laugh? Here goes...

My friend e-mailed me information on this guy posted on a singles dating site.  Here's the scoop on him:



  •  Hasn't worked in over 2 years but "looking as I've run out of money."

  • Wife died theoretically suddenly in September.

  • He's losing his home next month to foreclosure and is looking to move anywhere he can. 

I reckon' that since he has a pulse he considers himself a good catch, eh ladies?  Sounds like a true moocher to me who is looking for someone with a home that he can move into and probably expect you to pay the bills!   I'll stay single forever as opposed to letting someone like that into my life.  I don't know many people who have a spouse die suddenly that are looking to hook up with another person within 2 months... much less the other red flags!  My friend wasn't serious that I should be interested in him - she just thought that I'd appreciate the fact that at least I'm not THAT desperate to hook up with someone!


gotta laugh
I was actually a triple-D which is an F before I had reduction surgery. So was my daughter who also had the surgery!
Did anyone else laugh when they saw Tatum O on (sm)

Dancing with the Stars?  She was an actress, she said.  She didn't have to compete with others or work to get the acting jobs, thanks to daddy Ryan, LMAO!  Maybe that is why reality TV is becoming so popular.  People would rather watch reality TV than bad acting.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Okay, now who is going to defend this woman who had her most embarrassing moment....


thanks for the early a.m. laugh...NM

Thanks for the laugh. Had some doozies...
These Expanders can wreck havoc when not turned off.
I'm offended that you laugh about it

Have you checked into seeing what is required of someone to become a fellow of the AAMT?  It is a lot of work, believe you me.  And, it is not just the education--it's community service, holding offices in the organization, as well as the continuing education part of it. 


I work for a surgeon who is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons.  It works basically the same way---they have to prove that they have completed so much continuing education, hold offices in organizations, community-type services, etc.


Basically, just being a "fellow" just means that you've gone above and beyond what an ordinary person in your organization does.  Honestly, I think it is an honor; a matter of distinction, even if it is just AAMT.  It just sets yourself apart from everyone else; says that you are a hard worker.


Thanks for the laugh!! Very funny!

Got to laugh, I'm 5' tall......sm

Been so short, my feet rarely hit the floor in a restaurant, a train, and especially in a plane they do not reach. I never minded being short until I hit my 40s.....and those top kitchen cabinet shelves cause I probably stopped CLIMBING in my 40s.  *LOL*...had my kid(s) climb to get things, but then they moved out...*lol*....so I try not to store things on those top shelves that I need on a regular basis.


Also, not that I'm that overweight cuz I'm not these past 10 years, but I always said I'm not overweight, I'm undertall...*L*


Please tell your b/f that I thank him for being a considerate soul....a rarity in this life, eh?


I pop on there now and then when I want a good laugh. Most of

the videos posted are absolutely ridiculous.


thanks for the laugh - you got the right idea

Cardiology MTs will laugh at this

I found this on YouTube yesterday and wanted to share. It's done by med students and is reall well written and funny. I don't do cardiology, but still got a big kick out of it (and learned some things).

Oh so true! Thanx for the laugh NM

now you did make me laugh....sm
because i haven't thought of Bosco since I was a kid - and it's been a pretty long while since I was a kid!!
Agree, but it's either laugh or cry...
Of course I'm not upset with you. It's one of those situations where it's so ludicrous you can't help but laugh at the irony of it all.

It's kind of like if becoming an attorney, someone says "Knowledge of the law is helpful, but not a prerequisite," or if becoming a physician, "Knowledge of anatomy helpful, but not a prerequisite."

I can't even wrap my brain around it. I just baffles me to such a degree that I can't help but laugh at it..."preposterous" is an understatement.
Thanks for the laugh!!! That was great! nm

You guys are hilarious. Thanks for the laugh!
.
PLEASE don't laugh. I'm REALLY sick, and I have a gross
question. I am soooo sick with a stomach bug complete with unrelenting diarrhea.  I have loads of suppositories for same, but every time I use one, well...its a waste, if you know what I mean.  The stupid/gross question - can one use suppositories vaginally? At this point, I'd stick it in my ear if it would help...But I know that won't...I also envision putting it somewhere "else", and having some horrible reaction and then dying of embarassment. I'm sure its just a bug that's going around. Anyone?
Don't laugh, I'm a livestock broker. nm


Gotta laugh to keep from crying!

I have to admit it. I had a good laugh.
