I love my new company. I'm off today and tomorrow
and didn't have to beg anybody or worry about TAT.
I hope tomorrow's better, too! Bad mood today!

Lucky thing for me my MD is in the office tomorrow morning, so I made an appointment for tomorrow.
If it is strep, I'll have her give me a shot of penicillin. That's what I usually do for strep. My stomach can't hardly handle taking antibiotics. I end up with vomiting and diarrhea which makes me feel even worse!
Thing is, I work for a hospital and we already have one girl off indefinitely for medical reasons. A couple of ladies didn't log on until late today because we had thunderstorms in the area. And we are way, WAY out of TAT for OPs and Discharges. So, I feel kind of bad taking a sick day. My supervisor is so stressed. She's been begging us to work OT for the last couple of weeks. How can I call her and tell her I'm sick?
I'm halfway through my shift anyway. I'll be all right. The Motrin is really helping and then I can take it easy all weekend.
Thanks for listening.
okay, now I'm crying (sm)
Thank you so much for sharing that. That is beautiful. I have already posted about missing my children, and long hard weeks away, and wanting to be home. That poem is how I feel some days...

Me, too! Now I can't see cause I'm crying! Too funny!
Okay, guys, we all have to go! Michelle and MomMT, its been a very nice pleasure meeting you both!! Really, I had a great time, which does not happen for me often on here!! Thank you, both, and have a GREAT night!! Or a great day tomorrow! I'll cover your backs while you're sleeping...
Then for CRYING OUT LOUD.....
Let HIM worry about this. How and why do you think it's YOUR problem!! They're paying you to transcribe, not to breast feed/babysit them. Learn to pull that monkey off your back and put it on the back where it belongs, would you?????????????????? I swear, this is the last air head post I'm ever going to read or respond to on this ridiculous board. 
Oh, for crying out loud, let it go. nm

Talk about crying wolf
"Keep putting out those fires of MQ discontent, or at least until the big guns with the lawsuits put out MQ for good"
I have to laugh when I hear this, over and over again. How MQ is going down. When? Come on people. They are still hiring people, they still have accounts. They aren't going anywhere. So some MTs have a class action. Anyone can sue these days. Do they deserve it, sure. But I have been hearing about all this for years now and frankly, I am so tired of this old news.
If everyone quits, the will be the ones crying the blues. NM

Gotta laugh to keep from crying!

Yea like type 2 diabetes. Do not come crying to me
x sigh
For crying out loud, it's a job. Don't take it personal.
Lost my dad in October...still crying every day...could use some help (sm)
I just feel like I don't know what to do anymore. I'm 43 and lost my dad (78) back in October. I miss him so much. I still have times every single day when it hits me. A little memory will come back, and I'll just have the punch in the stomach feeling. I'll type something in a report that will remind me of those final weeks and just feel sick. Just now, I was just going along, doing my work, and out of the blue I remembered how he always had to take his pills with yogurt or applesauce, and I could just picture him, and I started crying again. We moved out of my home state 7 years ago, but before that I worked with my dad, just the two of us, for 13 years in his printing business. He would call me nearly every day, still, whenever he had a problem or needed help with a computer issue or something. Sometimes I'd get irritated because after not working on some of the stuff for years, I couldn't really remember some of these things. Now, I'd give anything for one of those phone calls.
Anyway, I normally wouldn't post this kind of thing, and I know there is an Emotions/Depression board, but there is more activity here and I'm feeling like I need some advice from those that have been there. I don't really talk to my husband about it too much. I usually have these times during the day or late at night when I'm alone. I just try to keep it pretty much to myself. Our neighbor lost his wife back in July and he is over here pretty often. He still is having a rough time, and my husband has made comments about how it's probably harder when it's your spouse. In a way, it made me feel like maybe I'm letting this go on too long? I have my dad's pictures by me and I wonder if maybe I shouldn't because they too make me cry. I guess I just don't know. I just know that every day I just miss him so much and have to stop and cry and I don't know if I need to go see somebody, or this is going to get better and pass, or what.
I laughed so hard I was almost crying! nm

I've been crying all morning and can't stop (sm)
what's the matter with these lousy companies. They have poor work and want us to produce a quality document....this job is really sucking anymore!
Oh yes, please. go get your own accounts. This is a newbie for crying out loud
I've run into a lot of people in this field who say, Just go get your own accounts, yet very few do. why?
no misunderstanding at all. you want things your way and you run crying to "mom" or authority
I don't really mind your posts, but what you are doing now makes me wonder about your sanity. It's like my kids when they don't get their way. They come crying to me and want me to intervene and they try to cause trouble for the person who won't give in. That's what you are doing. You lost me on this battle Dano.
17 years, my husband's got yours beat, he's STILL crying over the Notebook!
Nat'l. Crying-Babies & Leaf-Blowers Outside The Window Day!

My goodness, there are MQ offices crying for help. Gets transferred out of Amherst to Ohio or one of
the other offices. I will do that if they run me out of work at Amherst. I dont plan to stick around long if that happens.
Glad to see you keeping your spirits up. Gotta laugh to keep from crying, eh?
Boy, you brought back memories. I remember crying too and thinking I'd never get it that first y

anything beats crying children .... particularly from home late at night ...
oy! Those poor kids, not asleep in bed yet, and exhausted mom or dad are tryyyying to catch up with dictation ... imho -- the worst ... though I admit I personally have never had from-the-car-on-the-freeway dictation which I gather beats the band!
Wailing children are so heart wrenching.
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm
my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away! I checked and the Type It button is grayed out! I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies. Can anyone please help me ASAP? I am lost without it! TIA
Perhaps you are right. This one is dated today. The original article was on Yahoo today also with
But this article states it would only affect new customers right now. So I am upset over nothing. I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge. I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me. It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc. It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.
They are using US and laughing at us. NM

Laughing!
For someone who has been on "both sides of the game" you sure do not have your facts straight. You do not have to be a member of AAMT to take the CMT exam!!
not laughing
but cutting it off with a knife takes all the fun out of it.
eating vertically is, I guess, round and round, as opposed to side to side. Didn't know how to describe it. I eat both ways, actually, I don't want to miss a thing!
got me laughing too!! Thanks. nm

still laughing
giggles are good and docs come up with some fine ones. just had this on H&P.
GU, RECTAL, and BREAST exam are deformed!!!!!! lololololol
Not laughing at all.
I have read several articles where people talked about doing that. I hadn't even thought of that and my tailbone is as sore as the rest of yours are.
Thanks for the reminder! I think I even have one of those babies stashed somewhere. Time to take a break and find it.
No perimenopausal symptoms? Mood swings? Crying? Forgetfulness? Lucky you if so. I started all that

I'm still laughing...that is great...
Now I've got all these images in my head about Internest Street in Transcription City. This is really, really funny. My dog is looking at me wondering why I'm laughing to myself. Oh well!! Probably will be thinking about this all day...will develop a whole town, with many streets and avenues.
What other names can others come up with. Lets build this city. OK everyone, send in your suggestions!! 
I am not laughing at the technology.
At this point, at least to my understanding, the health insurance industry and Joint Commission require detailed documentation,especially the insurance companies who love to quibble on what they'll pay. When the detailed documentation is no longer being required and standard text and check off systems are used, the docs have no way to cover their butts. Let a few of them be sued for malpractice because they have no detailed proof of exact treatment, and we'll see just how wonderful this mobile system works. The insurance companies will be in an uproar over the judgements they are paying out.
I didn't see anybody laughing.
Everyone thinks Frankie boy has major mental problems.
lol! well, laughing through my tears, actually.

Laughing Out Loud. nm

If you can stop laughing for a sec...
Where are these "places where typing pays decent$$$" and "there are tons and tons of men," please? I've been in the working world for over 40 years and no matter what the job, men are going to be paid more, even if they are just standing the "Slow" sign on road construction. The only exceptions I know of are jobs where equity is demanded by law - such as state government and big corporations that are affected by the federal wage and labor laws.
Part of the reason are men paid more is because they think they deserve it and will not accept the same kind of treatment most women will take for the sake of a job. Also, men are more likely to be put into management and supervisor positions, despite their education and experience. It happens in nursing, customer service, any job that is predominantly female. There are probably a lot of reasons for that and I won't even go there.
ok, got it - you were on floor laughing *LOL.nm
 
LOL=laughing out loud (nm)

ROFL ASR keeps me laughing
I get lots of funnies too
Laughing at this doctor
he thinks cc, as in carbon copy, stands for closed caption. Please closed caption Dr. So-And-So. 
Those are both priceless!!! Now I'm laughing. nm.

Laughing - you are soooo right
QA is overrated and yes they do need to get themselves.... QA are MTs that think they know more than a regular MT... in a nutshell....
I think this must be a joke, and I am not laughing.
Why are you both obsessed with laughing??? sm
Jasper is laughing... You're laughing... Acusis is laughing... Glad to see you're all so easily amused.
My personal experience with the MTSO in question is that they have been above-board and forthcoming with info in past *crises* and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here. Besides, as I read Jasper's post, this pay cut was strictly for the editors... I'm not an editor.
I'm also smart enough NOT to cut off my nose to spite my face: IF my MT pay rate is cut, I'll still choose to stick around with Acusis because I have decent benefits including freebie money in my 401K, relatively pleasant accounts, and I KNOW that to start all over again with any other company out there, INCLUDING the beloved and hallowed WMX, I'd be making LESS per line and I'd be running out of work. So...
You and Jasper go right ahead and jump ship. I'll be glad to pick up your OT, and I'll bet I'm not the only one who stays behind to pick up the slack.
Best of luck to YOU, too, and thank you for leaving. *chuckle*
Laughing when you said the doctors are doing their own
editing. They cannot even spell most of the time.
OMG, I'm in tears I'm laughing so hard!
That is so funny!
Still laughing my ... off and now im gonna work
