I just realized...
When I mentioned I had posted about Sprint's EVDO, I realized I posted that on another forum. LOL Sorry about that. (Didn't want you looking around trying to find that post here.)
I had just asked in that post if anyone knew much about EVDO/Sprint and you pretty much answered my question I had on the other forum. :D It sounds like the way for me to go. Thanks!
Yea I just realized that when I got an
email from someone LOL! Just working at the hospital for 10yrs now I guess outsourcing is the only term I have really heard LOL! I hope & pray our voices get heard on this. I pray I get alot of letters to make an impact!
Just realized you are using a waveplayer (sm)
I have a gearplayer. Don't know if there is any difference. Sorry.
After one day, it realized MDI wasn't for me - sm
System seemed nice at first but quickly turned out it wasn't. Someone else I know told me hers kept locking up on her. You don't have access to your Word entries and if you don't have a compatible shortcut expander, you have to start all over again in theirs. That stinks.
I found my QA to be very, very picky, over the top, ridiculous things. I don't think they want people to work for them because it seems you can't do anything right and I'm one who has been in this business a LONG time and no one ever complained about my work before.
I was very disappointed as I had heard good things about MDI-MD. Just goes to show what is right for one MT is not for another.
Then I realized that no one ever shared with me, I had to
figure it all out, shared with everyone, then the happy cherrypickers would go in and take everything that I had created shortcuts or "normals" for. I never even got a thank you for furnishing samples. I do not get paid to help anyone else out, it is my time and resourcefulness and now everyone can fend for themselves.
this happened to me once and I realized
the sound had somehow been shut off or volume on mute down on the task bar...
I know that is probably not it, but it did happen to me once and I thought something was wrong with the pedal. turned out it was just the volume control.
good luck
I realized that when I looked at the
She has tons of wigs and I've seen her with those styles through the years! We just don't know how many stars are wearing wigs and hair weaving!
WOW!! That's great. I never realized
that before...but I understood every single word! Pretty cool.
I was excited until I realized you have to buy this..

A -ha! I should have realized. Thx for responding.

I just realized what I posted above
didn't make a lot of sense if you are going to be working an independent contractor because they don't take out any taxes at all, so changing dependents has no affect at all on your check.
Basically what the IRS is suggesting is just creative bookkeeping and you might come out better today, but come tax time and you reconcile eveything it will probably hurt you.
LOL, yea I realized that but not getting paid for typing here and
didn't want to burn dinner. Maybe it's psychological. LOL, anyway I agree it was funny, even though I'm blushing!
YES. I wanted to ask company name, but then realized it
zz
Wow! Same thing here. Just now realized tailbone

Just realized how good I've got it.
The company I work for pays for headers and footers, which total 13 lines per report. Given my line rate, I make the "per report" rate before I ever start typing! So everything I transcribe is gravy above and beyond. Sweeeeet.
I love my job.
One thing I have realized since I left MT....sm
is that part of the problem is that the bar has been raised as far as the skillset employees are expected to have these days. For one, computer skills are a given. It is just expected that every, even entry-level employees are proficient with computers, so the computer knowledge an MT has really isn't specialized. As far as terminology, etc., honestly learning everything I needed to know about the installation and government was harder, or as hard, as learning MT. With all the tools and communications available via computer, we are expected to be diverse and understand not only the intricacies of our own jobs but those of all the organizations that affect our jobs.
I had to learn just as many business & financial related acronyms as I did for MT including those unique to our organization, used in the financial/business industry, government/military, etc. Formatting documents etc. for business/government/military is actually harder than for MT. Learning all the financial, industrial, government, military terms, systems, and hierarchies was also much like learning MT. I started in an entry level job and was expected to pick all this up fairly quickly and pretty much on the job with no formal training because technology gave me access to all this information. This is all for a secretary/administrative support position.
My point is that since the last generation was brought up with computers, communications, and access to information so readily available, it has completely changed what is expected of office workers in larger companies. There are no more simple secretary jobs. I haven't been here two years just yet, and I am lead for an office of 50 people, expected to train 3 other clerks/secretaries under me and know everything about at least 25 different programs internal to my directorate and all the terms, acronyms, hierarchies, formatting, etc., etc., etc., related to it from personnel management to budgeting/financing, industrial production, government entities, private industry, etc.
I work with both government and private industry, as far as I can tell those in lower-level jobs are expected to be extermely diverse and well-rounded to support those in the higher-level jobs. Those in the higher level jobs in some ways get paid more to be "expert" in their field but don't have to have nearly the skill set of the lower level employees. Most of those in higher-level jobs have been around a while, and the lower-level employees could honestly work circles around them. However, it is obvious, and everyone knows it, that as older workers begin to leave the workforce the younger/newer workers are going to be expected to know and do a lot more in the same positions simply because the base skillset of younger/newer workers is stronger and more diverse.
I don't mean to make light of what it takes to be an MT, but the business world has changed so much in the last 20 years that the bar has been raised in larger companies/industries as far as what is expected of workers. An older worker may have held the same position I am in now for 20 years, and she is not expected to have 1/4 the skillset they expect from a younger worker; yet, we get paid the same. They just expect younger workers to be more proficient in computer skills, technology, and information, and if you are not, you won't last long or go very far.
Just realized ---TIME DIFFERENCE-- that is why - sm
it will be Wednesday there, Tuesday here (plus I had it in my head today was Monday for some odd reason).
Wrong. As soon as I hit send, I realized my

Realized that, knew she was happy, just curious.
Knowing her situation and past employers, hoped to help. However, she usually does post under her Jencan, doesn't she?
There is no piracy going on...they just realized that they can make MORE money.
I threatened them with lawsuit and am still gathering names of people who have been done over by them. I have about 4 so far.
I just realized that my most difficult dictator is Burmese.

Just realized I didn't answer your question. SM
You enter the phone numbers the same way - star-99 (*99), put in the number - if it's long distance don't forget the 1- and then press the number key (#).
Ack!!! Sorry just realized you wanted packs and not years, but still the same method.

Oh yeah. I typed bolus for bullous just yesterday and let it go through before I realized it.
There was a time when we could leisurely type a report and really follow the information with interest but now, it is more about making the money to pay the bills, grabbing reports before someone else does and we end up sitting there with nothing to type. This induces an state of anxiety that can really place a person in a zone that can make it impossible to concentrate on the report itself.
I do have my tape rewind for several seconds to keep myself from word dropping and go from top to bottom of each report with an eye scan reports (radiology) to proof and make sure I don't screw up but even so, I sometimes do.
It is kinda scary,huh? The x-ray techs can make errors galore (underpenetrated, overpenetrated films, etc) but we are expected to be perfect.
I heard crickets til I realized it was winter. Was really the start of chronic

I'm using Outlook and Outlook Express and I've realized
that Outlook (my personal email account through comcast) is not pulling email from server. I can't even get to the Comcast homepage to try to get my email that way. However, my Outlook Express is set up just for my work email... different server, different ports. That's working just fine. Comcast has been changing ports in recent months, and I bet they did something that messed everything up. I hate to go to the techs there. They'll want me to change settings, and then I'll have a mess on my end, too.
Grrrrr. I just want my email and want to be able to get to some key websites that I use. Other websites are completely trouble-free, though. I've never seen this happen before.
I thought so. Thanks.:)

I thought so too
Ya know, I thought so too but I think it is because his hair cut and facial makeup and eye brows are so severe..If he grew a longer beard, some side burns and longer hair, I dont think it would look that bad..However, he looks like my ex..sigh..My ex was a Latino as Dave Navarro is and has the same face..When I first saw Dave Navarro..I said to everyone, My gosh, he looks like John and they agreed..Carmen (dont know if I like her or not) and Dave sure make a good looking couple, though.
I thought it was just me! Thank God I'm

well, one would have thought it sure
would have gotten some press, for sure. But on the other hand, the story doesn't have the same 'newsworthy' features (from the press standpoint), ie, hope for a happy outcome, being a school-sponsored trip, a top student with the full scholarship waiting, the mystery of higher-ups possibly helping to hide the facts, etc etc.
Its a very very tragic thing, to have a child go missing and especially with the horrible outcome you mentioned.
If the news reported (which they can't) EVERYTHING that went on, we'd probably be afraid to wake up in the morning.
I thought of that too.
I thought about the brown recluse and I think that is why I was nervous and there are so many bites at one time. We have huge spiders here. I hope it isn't a recluse. The symptoms are similar. One scar looks pretty bad. I will watch it. Thanks for responding.:)
YES< YES, I thought it was just me!
That's what I thought...or at least that is what
the signed contract states.
Thank you for clearing that up.
Happens to me, too, but I always thought it was
when supe was pushing jobs into individual que's to improve TAT, since it is always at the end of a job that it happens -- just before another job will download to me.
Yes, it does happen. Not equipment problem, but possibly could be a connection problem -- slow connection causing this, too ????
Here is a thought..
Find MTs in your area that work at home with kids...maybe doing a kid swapping thing would help everyone. Create a MT Mommy group LOL.
I thought I won...
Thought of something else!
Do you e-mail or send in mail, or both? I have always gotten my MT jobs by e-mail.
There are so many hurdles, especially equipment requirements. It seems you have everything right on track, you just need your break!
Another thing I thought of; do you look at other MT websites with job boards? I go to other MT websites when there's nothing new at my favorite one.
Good luck, and keep us posted!
I had thought of this also
In fact, there was just a few hours ago there was a press conference on the news. The Dept of Health and Human Services was giving a briefing and said that many medical volunteers are needed, including nurses, physicians, EMTs, etc. He said on the HHS website there was a link for volunteers to register where they ask questions as to your capabilities, etc. I had wondered if MTs would be needed when I was watching this. I do not remember the specific website, but I'm sure it can be found by Googling the Dept of Health and Human Services. God Bless you for volunteering. 
That's what I thought.
That's what I wanted to do, was mark it so they at least would see it, but nooooooo....they just leg it go!!! And these nationals wonder why they lose accounts!
Thanks! I never even thought much about it until...
JK mentioned it.
I second that thought!

I thought so
you are working for Frankie Boy or are you Frankie Boy.
Where is Chucky zipper or is Chucky Frankie Boy too?
I thought of that too.

Thanks for the thought...nm

I have thought about this, too.
I love Oprah - and I find myself running back and forth between commercials. I have been thinking of putting a small tv in my office. What do you all think?
Have yo thought about
applying for a clerical job in your local hospital or a doctor's office? Good luck to you!
I had not even thought about that. Thank you!
.
Just a thought - sm
Have you noticed a pattern to when it kicks you out, such as immediately after you send an e-mail? This happened to me, there was a setting in my Outlook Express that made it disconnect every time I sent an e-mail. It was easily fixed.
Just a thought ...
try looking here:

Do seek help, though. Like several posters below stated, this could be very serious.
Thanks... that's what I thought
