OMG... I feel even better now. I was looking at the back of the box and it said you need a AAA battery. Wow... I thought the sound was great before --- that was without the battery which I did not even notice because of the design of the headphones. Now, for the first time in 9 years working for MQ I am proud to say that I had to turn the volume DOWN. Too loud...hurt my ears...ooww. LOL Glad I was able to exchange my MQ stock for something useful... a pack of 2 AAA batteries for my new headphones.... Life is good.

batteries
wow, i can't believe that you change your batteries that frequently on the mouse. i sometimes go for a year before changing and that's either with Duracell or Energizer. wonder what the problem could be?
AA batteries ....sm
Maybe it would recharge something....I'm SOOOOOOOOooooo tired. What was he thinking????
Batteries old in keyboard?
I only type in word but this has happened to me before and it was old batteries or because I use cordless I had to reposition the connection thing that reads your keyboard and mouse. Just a simple guess and am probably wrong.
do the Bose QC2 require batteries?
If so, how often do you find you need to replace them - and/or do you think there is any health hazard to having batteries up next to your head? thanks.
Batteries lasted me only about 2 weeks. Not worth it to me. nm
You are not by any chance using a wireless mouse?... may need batteries. nm

If it is a wireless mouse, change the batteries; if not
then, I am not sure what the problem may be.
Just a reminder to change your smoke alarm batteries nm
Check out the back-up batteries at Office Depot -
I have very short power interruptions every single day, so having a back-up power supply is a must. I have two now, hooked to different pieces of equipment. I can work for nearly an hour without external power if need be. I can hear it beep and click on and then off when power is restored again, which is literally just maybe 10 seconds or so. As far as a generator goes, I have no idea, sorry.
Addendum
Dr. G has changed his mind and would now like to adopt Dr. D's style.
ADDENDUM.....sm
and what that equates to....I work Friday, Saturday, Sunday for MQ - so I worked the entire last 2 weekends and I'm availing myself today also due to lack of private work. *S*
addendum...
Basically, the way I understand it, all of your expenses, whether equipment, supplies, utilities, insurance, dues, etc. will be subject to the 2% rule, only that amount over 2% of your adjusted gross.
Addendum to my above post--sm
I also forgot to mention another suggestion for getting better line counts would be staying off this board...and I am sorry to say that, but it takes a lot of time to come on this board, read any new posts, answer the ones we want to answer, and then go back to work. I see some people on here an awful lot all through the day and I really wonder how they get any work done. I have to limit myself too, sometimes. Just a thought.
addendum to insurance q...
Sorry when I mentioned the low-key $50K "health insurance" in my last post under insurance Q...I meant to say $50,000 life insurance...that is I meant to say you might want to try applying for life insurance before applying for health insurance.
addendum to my answer
by federal I mean federal withholding and self employment taxes - the FICA and MedFICA .
addendum to my op -- poll
A question but now with the economy being what is is how many "significant others/spouses" now work M-F? If they do, on weekends, they are probably trying to do things around the house, lawn care, fixing things and so on -- so while they are doing that, what is wrong with an MT trying to put a few hours in on a Saturday or Sunday when they work for a service doing acute care? Only reason I ask is that my other half is off during the week, but I still manage to try to put in 3-4 hours in even on my "days off".
addendum--here's the link

Keyboard is fine, mouse batteries goes pretty quick though and if my desk
the signal from the mouse to the transmitter/receiver thing gets messed up, so then move all the junk and all is well. Rarely change the keyboard batteries, mouse every 3 weeks probably. PRO: Like not having wires though, CON: Put in a good supply of batteries.
Addendum: But ya'll go ahead! :)

Sort of funny addendum to above
I do some transcription for this hospital, and they go on and on in their reports, but anytime we have ever been there, it seems they don't have much interaction with the patient. Lol ... You can help but wonder about that!
addendum: I think Moderator Cher is one of the
nicest, fairest and most dedicated.
Addendum- that should have been sour grapes, not green!

I smell a corrective addendum coming -
The doc says,"the debridement contained subcutaneous and healthy necrotic tissue." Say, what? Healthy necrotic tissue?
Addendum: As well as your fund of medical terminology knowledge.
An addendum, minor corrections are one thing - being a slob dictator who consistently cannot put his

Most of the gals I know, myself included.....sm
love to get some really nice hand/body lotion, either in their favorite fragrance or something scented from a specialty shop. They usually sell for maybe $18-20 and that's just too much $$ to spend on our own hand creams! Either that or scented bubble baths, soaps, etc.
I give things like that to my friends all the time and I have one friend who has now actually come to expect a bottle of her favorite lotion every Xmas. :)
You and everybody else are looking for same thing, me included. nm

You need to know if spaces are included, then ... sm
divide your character count by 55 based on the with spaces or without spaces. It should come out exactly as your company figures. With it being 55 characters, I would almost bet you are not paid for spaces. Are you dividing the number of words by 55 or the number of characters without spaces by 55?
You should be able to come right out and ask the company the formula they use; if its not something you can recreate in a word document to verify, they are cheating you somewhere.
QA Submissions not included!
QA submissions nare not included either! LOL! Happy holidays!
Will that be entirely VR or any straight included?
NM
If you're not American, then how would you know. If you, you just included yourself
nm
Yes, lots of software was included.
Unfortunately, Word was not included though. 
Thanks for the input anyway. 
It would mean NO spaces included if it's only the B/W characters. Better ask for sure! nm
s
Hmm...will check this out. I know spaces are not included.
Thanks for responding. I will e-mail her tomorrow and find out what is up.
did you read the site I included....sm
in my post just below? tipping dot org keeps up with all the rules of tipping. www.tipping.org
MS Word is included in MS Works now sm
What Dell probably met was that MsWorks includes a full version of MS Word. It's the less expensive way to get Word without having to buy Ms Office. The student version of MS Office cannot be upgraded, btw, so don't get that.
Should've included the website...

Wonderful people in Houston, yourself included!
Wonderful to know there are such caring folks out there.
Board names or not, some people, myself included...
don't care to discuss what they make. Why should we? It is such an individual thing and based on so many factors that is is impossible to draw any meaningful conclusions.
The type of work, as well as the MTs experience, ability to research effectively, retention and overall knowledge and intelligence, self-discipline (and much more) are variable, to say the least.
What others make is totally irrelevant to what someone else may make.
Yeah, I'm annoyed that QA wasn't included! sm
I so respect QA because they usually fill in all my blanks and I sometimes am in AWE of just how they do that when I relisten to all blanks several times. My one QA lady also I absolutely think is the best because she communicates so well with us.....and seeks us out to do just that and give us feedback.
Next year, I'll bet, they WILL honor QA!!!!!!! (if I have anything to say about it!!)
Thank you so much! The Shorthand instructions included with my version

Sorry you are so disgruntled but many of us, myself included, are still making money...
there have been changes but I am still making great money so I have no complaints...good luck to you though
I get Sirrus/XM included through my digital TV package,

Just accept that it is you opinon and let it rest. We all read all of the posts, yours included sm
and all taken into account.
Mouse included in the package lit up right after battery insertion. No on lights
come on when the batteries are inserted and power button doesn't do a thing. Power isn't being transmitted to keyboard for some reason.
