I too have been in this business for a long time (almost 20 years).  I also have a good friend who is an RN who will ask me questions about certain things that she hasn't read up on because it is not in her field of "expertise". 

If someone I know says something like, "I have this pain that won't go away. . ..", I say, "you need to make an appointment with your doctor.  If someone says the doc put them on a drug and can't pronounce the name, I can give them the correct way to say it.

But in my experience, I can tell (in my areas of expertise) when something is wrong.  I would never say, "I think he has this or that."  I would say, "I really don't like the looks of that and it might need to be looked at by the doctor. Even if I do know from experience what it may be. 

In the case of an NP ignoring the MT's concerns, I find that disturbing.  That seems to say that personal objections are getting in the way, which should never happen in the medical field, regardless of what level you are at, if there is even what may apper to be a valid concern.

I've always thought it was unrealistic to expect all teenage high school graduates to know what they want to do with the rest of their lives and to be able to pursue a college degree based on that knowledge (although I acknowledge that's 100% true, as some grads do know).  I'm 53 and I'm still not sure what I want to be when I grow up!

I think the events described in your post happen a lot more often than not, and when they do occur, it IS a waste of money. 

Life is a work in progress, and people change drastically over the course of it.

Yes, instead of being petty, envious and annoyed - celebrate with our typing sisters and brothers - we are all trying to make it work moneywise.  Share the knowledge of increasing line count.  That is what everyone wants to know anyway. Good for you!

I watch my friends spend all this money on clothing, gas and food while I'm at home in my sweats and T-shirts and a tank of gas will last for weeks when my daughter is out of school. I cook enough dinner to have leftovers for lunch. 

When the weather is bad, I'm not trying to get home, I just keep on typing (unless the power goes out of course).  So all in all, I can't complaint even though I do at times LOL. 

Another benefit of this job I would say is that you can work for as many companies as you can handle unlike there being a conflict of interest say if you are working for two grocery stores in the same area.

can cost you a BUNDLE, especially after a few NONPAYING companies in a row.

a holiday, they want every school break to be off with their children, they have to go on a field trip, they need to take Bratleigh to the doctor, on and on.

Taking a full-time job is great for them with full-time benefits until they are told they have to work some weekends or God forbid CHRISTMAS....what about the chilllllldddrennnnnn......

he speaks perfect English, especially when asking for money!  Also, in my opinion, blanks should be left in the doc's dictation if not able to be transcribed, maybe then they will know that are NOT understood.  With QA fixing them, what need is there for them to care if we understand them or not? 

I mean afterall there is no evidence that she is dead.  From the beginning I thought they were guilty and I still think that Joran knows something (not saying it was an intentional murder-- probably an accident)  The biggest thing that plays on my mind is why did they lie in the beginning if they were innocent.  I believe that they were covering up for something.  There have been theories that she went for a swim and drowned but there has been absolutely no trace of her.  No shoes, handbag, nothing, which leads me to believe that everything was gathered up and taken somewhere. 

I feel for the family but they need to let the Arubans do their job abiding their own laws.  I know the mother has said she will stay until she finds Natalee but you can't live in Aruba forever.

I think you have to blame Natalee herself before you blame the chaperones.  What was she thinking going in a car w/ three strangers in a foreign country???  And also, what about her friends.. what were they thinking letting her go to the bar or leaving the bar alone?  Back when we were in college and were on spring break or just bar hopping in this country..... you NEVER let your friend go off w/ some strange guys.  That is just common sense.

Evil does exist no matter where you go and my post was meant in no way disrespectful to you or your opinion (I hate it when a flaming war starts like the ones above).  I just know how one seemingly insignificant comment can start a whole line of growing misinformation...  Kinda like that game we probably all played as kids..telephone or whatever 

I did not hear about the comment of America being the Great Satan, that is interesting, I am going to have to check that one out! 

IN some cases we did, but do you really think the Indians didn't do the same?  There is a myth about indigenous peoples on any continent being "noble savages," but in truth, there were warring thieving tribes among the Indians here who leeched off the peaceful tribes before the Europeans got here.  Lying and cheating are not exclusively European virtues.

I still say they need to get over it.  We spend way too much time in this country talking about mistreatment and ills of the past - we need to spend more time and energy on building a future for the children and grandchildren we say we love so much.  The best way to give them a successful, peaceful future is to let go of our resentments and choose to love our children more than we love our grudges.

Degree in advertising and marketing and promotion and choosing to do MT. How pitiful is that?

I can do 1800-2000 lines a day, so 1000 is a piece of cake.
