Hi.  I have decided to go back to school (starting tomorrow) and I had chosen accounting as my field of study.  However, after looking online at many, many jobs, I see that the Associates Degree that I will receive is not really worth much more than the paper it is written on and will definitely not get me a job making anywhere near what I make now, so I would have to go to school 4 years to do anything with that degree. 

The school also has a Medical Office Management degree that would only take me 7 quarters at most (not counting that I can probably exempt a lot of the classes, such as medical terminology, pharmacology, basic computers, document processing, etc.). 

My question is, for those of you who still have connections in doctor's offices, are the doctors now really looking at education as a factor in hiring someone, or are they still working on the "worked my way up through the ranks" or "my friend who used to work in an office" or "my wife needs a job and I am going to make her manager" attitude?  I managed an office years ago before I started transcription and I now know that I was terribly unqualified to do the job, but the doctor loved me as a lab technician and he thought I had a "take charge" attitude and put me in charge.  Is that still how it works I guess is my question...

Just looked at your web site (from under your MT Stars name).  What a dream your place is!  Congrats for making such a dream come true for you.  Thanks for sharing.

what you do in your spare time when you aren't MT'ing and tending to your farm . . .

I'm going to work on becoming a little more savvy with this stuff, really appreciate your time!  Most days, this board is my main source of entertainment (except for Jake now, of course) or consternation depending on the subject, and you are always a bright spot in the day...

For anyone interested in another puppy story, we adopted him from a shelter, had been put there by a family who decided they didn't want him, had a little kid, but I think the truth is, and the people at the shelter thought, that the family just didn't know what having a puppy was like, so their loss, our happiness!  He's a labradoodle and found him through an internet rescue site that came up when I was searching on it.  We had seen a tan one at a house for sale that we were looking at (I thought it was some kind of terrier or something), and my DH fell in love with that dog, so I did some searching...and there he was.  About dropped my teeth when I found on searching what breeders are getting for these dogs... as somebody pointed out to me, they are just mutts, after all...But I was happy to find him at the shelter, have always adopted dogs like that, am always amazed at the wonderful animals that get dropped off.  My wonderful Boxer had been rescued from a puppy mill situation and many moons ago I had a little German short-hair pointer/Brittany mix that was very ill at first, didn't think she was going to make it, but she lived to 17.  I don't usually do all the little doggie accoutrements, like scarves and such, but he was pretty matted and dirty so had to have a professional trim the first time (dang thing cost more than my haircuts!! so I guess the scarf was part of the doggie-do package.)  Wish I could find the pic that stole our hearts at the shelter, like Misha's pic of Cedric.  Anyway, thanks again Hayseed, you rock!

fair either, to me or the dog. I appreciate just hearing your comments and understanding that I am in a bad situation. I certainly thank everyone who has commented. So many of us have a deep connection to God's magnificent creatures. There is nothing like it in the world.

I just 4 Advil an hour or so ago, so it's not too bad.  The Anbesol works for about 15 minutes and then it's like I never used it.  Just hanging in there until I can call the dentist tomorrow first thing.  I think I'll live.

Thanks for asking! 

The snow finally stopped and now comes the rain.  This combination always make such a mess! 

I was watching the WSDOT cam yesterday and that road is a four lane road where the cam is set.   If you watched that particular camera you would notice that there were maybe 3 lanes of traffic and ALL of them were heading in one direction.  The folks going the opposite direction were getting the squeeze.  Of course, it was hard to tell where the lanes were because it was all compact snow and ice but dang!

The winner of the biggest snow driving dingbat (apparently MTStars says i*iot is a bad word) goes to the person who actually stopped and let the kids OUT of the car in the middle of the road to play in the snow while the adult cleaned off the windshield.   I am not kidding!   Lots of people were stopping in the middle of the road to clean off their windshields but this one let the kids out to play in the snow!    Geesh!

Just a clip to crack you up...They were a phenomenal team in that movie!~ I couldn't stop laughing either.  It really was hard to pick a couple favorites...I coulda gone all the way back to Duck Soup (Marx Brothers).  Cat

For figuring out what they were called.  Melted Plastic Popcorn would have not been the first thing that came to mind, and I never knew there was anything other than the snowman, BUT!!!! Now that I know, I am determined to get the whole set!

the topics that she saw here and they are all laughing it up including the owner of the other board.  You can tell the topics that no one wants to talk about or be "for real" about because the OP will go unanswered.   This board is way better, believe me!!! 

P/S:  If that's all they have to laugh about is an inquiry in this board, does that tell you what kind of board they have going over there?
