Blasted cold out today. It was 104 degrees last week, but it's 40 degrees today with rain.
However, I do like cozy days like today when I don't have to go anywhere. I'm done working, the house is clean, there's chili on the stove for dinner already, and I'm just putzing around. I think I'll go bake some jalapeno cheese bread to go with the chili.
I saw HOWIE last night on a late night episode of Blind Date. too funny.
I'm thinking if they are smart they'll boot Rachel. I think she's really smart and a good player. I don't think Howie is all that smart or able to be a winner. I think this could force Howie to hook up with James to go for the final 2.

They don't seem to be all that worth it. I was going to school for a psych degree but got discouraged. Started buying the Sunday paper just to see jobs out there in my chosen field, social work/clinical psychology. The average pay is 14-15 an hour, and that is for graduate/master's degree. So they want all those dedicated years of studying, money for college, to get out and earn less than what i'm making as an MT, with two years of college significantly less.
With those two degrees, why don't
you build career in a more solid profession? MT isn't very stable, IMHO, and making money at it can be a crap shot. Some of us have gotten lucky but most haven't. I don't mean to sound negative, but if I had a degree in something, I'd be outta this profession! (and I'm one of the fortunate transcriptionists with my own clients and am making decent money)
zero degrees
Geez! Where do you live if you don't mind my asking? That is just too cold for me!! I would not go out at all. It was in the 20s here last night (Mississippi) and I thought THAT was cold.
Not me! It's 103 degrees out there!
It's taco night! (again.....) We had taco pizza last night, southwestern chicken soup before th
Maybe I'll just have a salad.
It is 94 degrees here at 8:21 p.m. in Lincoln, NE--thank God for AC! NT
:)
It's 10 p.m. and 84 degrees here in Florida.
What are your kids' degrees in?

going digital in degrees
Hello,
A hand-held digital recorder (I have a Uher DH-10 but there are many, seems to be a lot of DSS files out there - Olympus) and an image mate if the computer can't accommodate a variety of media or flash cards.
How to move files:
FTP site - commercialy maintained and/or your own with a static IP address through a web hoster - Apache servers are the best
FTP software is out there for free - Core FTP using SSL
CryptoHeaven
HyperSend
DropChute (expensive) Lite (free)
X-Drive
I-Drive (I had a run in with them, not too happy)
Hyperterminal (part of windows)
PC Anywhere and a static IP address that would allow computer-to-computer file transfers pick up dictation, drop off documents
MEP or PGP encryption and just move those babies through the e-mail - there are a bajillion encryption software PGP is free and MEP is commercial for sale. These make self-extracting files all you have to do is use the right password and you're good. There are others, though.
I guess it depends on what the office personnel are willing to do in the way of faciltating the transfers or loading the dictation onto a computer or a FTP site or e-mailing to you.
Having DSL or cable (I have DSL - its never down, ever) is a must because wav files can be large sometimes if the recorder doesn't utilize some sort of compression
and PC Anywhere on a phone line is too slow to download digital files from wav or DSS the phone line can only go about 23 which makes a 56K modem overkill
I have used PCAnywhere without a static IP, you do a start/run ipconfig command (that was for win 98 I can never remember the one for XP)and it gives you the address of that log on - you just put that in the remote PCanywhere set up to dial in - this is kind of a garage sale version but it works
There are also TASPs out there to buy for a penny a line or 10 cents a minute with 800# all set up for you. Sometimes they charge to add doctors a little set up fee
:) Has this helped at all?
If you do go PCAnywhere and set up a host computer at the doc's office or load PCAnywhere on one of theirs, it doesn't HAVE to be an XP comp. And if it does have XP for an OS you MUST use version 10.5 or higher - only one compatible with XP
I know for a fact that version 9 does horrible things to XP ;) Not compatible is not compatible, I thought I could download a patch or an upgrade. ha ha.
winzip is a free software to make many files one nice little package for to be encrypted and then attached to an e-mail
Sunny and 46 degrees

At 9:03pm it is 81 degrees in VA (near Richmond) - nm

A billion degrees, but it's a dry heat.

How come you 2 with journalism degrees aren't

We paid for 2 bachelor's degrees and
that was it. If they want to further their education their employers each pay to do that (government jobs).
I say send your son to a school where he lives in a dorm and then in an apartment. It's time.
You're both adults getting on each other's noives at this point.
You'll be surprised how much they grow up after they move out and live away at school.
whoops - I meant 98 Degrees...LOL..NM

(giggling). do you even KNOW how many masters degrees are
There are people with huge degrees, disillusiond with their field, their pay, the politics. And they are sitting on their duffs doing medical transcription because the pay is better, the work conditions are better, the people are better. There were some posts in the past month about this very subject. There are a LOT of overeducated people out there, who choose to transcribe.
addendum: chilly = 10 degrees at 7 a.m.

There are a lot of mentally ill people out there. No joke. Just different degrees.
Seriously, did you ever talk to someone who you just think might be one step out of reality but not enough to be considered full-blown crazy. Lots of my friends fall into that category. Sorry but its true.
Heck yeah! DH and both kids have their degrees,
I'm 47 and am studying Psychology at the University of Massachusetts!
Pacific Time, still sunny and 72 degrees :-) (nm)
zzzzz
Sorry! Wrists at 180 degrees in same flat plane as

Perfect here - Lake Stevens (just outside of Seattle) 72 degrees. NM

40 degrees in August? Where do you live? Even Alaska is warm now.

Lots of people think that degrees open many doors.
Degrees close many doors, too. People won't hire you at all because you're overqualified or they think you'll jump ship the moment you find something better. A large percentage of this country is underemployed, and that number gets greater every day. Wages have plummeted because the young 20-somethings will work for peanuts. Why should businesses pay more for older workers when they can get a fresh college grad for next to nothing?
I woke up to -18 degrees this morning - it hurt to breathe outside! nm

Cold, 28 degrees, a little snow on the ground, overcast.
Boring winter day. Not enough snow to do anything fun, just enough to make us all miserable.
Would you walk three blocks in 110 degrees at 3 p.m. in Arizona - no trees, no breeze, no wet SM
except for sweat. It's brutal.
Now is 110 and supposed to get hotter. Yesterday was 113 in the shade
Only 90 degrees? It was 112 in Phoenix yesterday, supposed to be hotter today.

It is about 10 degrees, snowed all day. Snug in front of the fireplace tonight. sm
I used to live in a large city and I HATED WINTER and the cold. Now I live in a very small town, can walk to everywhere and I love the winter, snug and nice in the house and working...I love it.
I nearly suffered heat stroke taking a bike ride in 105 degrees.

and how many liberal arts and science bachelors degrees & beyond are held on this board?

We had that last night.
I was just bored today since I'm not working. I like cooking different foods as a hobby. LOL
yes, I got it last night...sm
sure do wish they'd make up their minds. When I first started on DQS, from Cottage, I got "yelled" at about NOT putting 2 spaces, now I'm used to 2 spaces, and they go and change it again. Oh, well. Guess I'll get read to get "yelled" at again! 
About last night...

last night
This was a great article. I think she hit the naile on the head in her assessment of each one of them.
Tks for posting the link.
Just on TV last night sm
I'm in California and DPSS Department of Social Service did this exact same thing and did not want to shred so out in open to recycle, 93,000 people to be notified. Shameful disregard, no wonder so muc IF theft. The TV station esposed this happening.
AI - CNN Last night
They had something on CNN last night where they had four people talking about Chris being voted off. One of them was an AI contestant from last year and she wasn't pulling any punches which was nice to see. She told it like it is. She didn't side step any questions like some people. She said Katharine should have gotten voted off instead of Chris and she and all the others said that Katharine would win, not because she was the most talented, but because she was the most marketable. One reporter said Chris got voted off because he was creepy! Of course, it was a man.
Get a PT job at night, then if you like it and - sm
they will let you got FT, then go for it. Never quit a job before you have another in the bag.
CSI NY last night... anyone see it?
So, on CSI NY last night, MAC sure did a good job using a shoestring to tie up that agents artery, didnt he? Even if he WAS in the service, I was impressed. Although, he's no Grissim. Speaking of which... CANT WAIT FOR TONIGHT! http://www.cbs.com/primetime/csi/ if you click here: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/csi/producer_picks/ you can watch the producer's favorite episodes for free on your computer. :D
Yes, I saw this last night
My husband is one of those Vets that could potentially have his identity stolen. :( Very concerning!
Other night job
I dance at the local "Dancing Bare"and am known as the cellulite Grandma.
up all night?
Has anyone ever pulled an all-nighter and typed through the night after your shift during the day? Please tell me how you did it! A strong pot of coffee is a given and some carbs are probably a given.
Also, those of you who work the midnight shift, do you have any tips for staying alert when the house is quiet and the neighborhood is fast asleep?
Thanks in advance!
up all night
This will really mess with your circadian rhythm and make you crazy. No kidding. That is why they outsource now to India (among other things) because when we sleep, they are having their morning coffee and are ready for their day.
