Again...you are a breath of fresh air
A breath of fresh air. Thank you.
Now, no more odors from the mushroom house, please.
You are welcome - you are like a breath of fresh,unpolluted air! (nm)

Jewelsy, you're a breath of fresh air (sm)
I appreciate your experience and insight! I agree about clinic work being boring; so is radiology. And VR/speech rec has really taken over radiology and clinic, the same for EMR. I know it's going to be a huge challenge for a few months, but I'm up for the challenge! Plus I've done interventional radiology-type transcription (minimally invasive procedures) with really tough dictators, so I have a bit of a heads up.
Thanks again! I'd like to update you in my transition late this summer.

No.. breath the same air you say!

Don't hold your breath
Never has for anyone I know anyway (myself included)
I'm holding my breath!
I want Taylor to win so badly!!!! He even looked adorable in that awful jacket he had on for his first song. Can't wait to hear his last song--on the edge of my seat. Breathe, breathe, breathe. I think I may hyperventilate!
Take a deep breath
and go in and be completely honest about the situation. Perhaps asking your boss for a little help with a note about how important you are on the job, blah, blah, might help if possible. I don't think all is lost - a jurist who is so worried about work that she/he cannot concentrate on the matter at hand is not really helpful to the system. If you get to the place where you are questioned, you may be asked if there is anything that would influence how you might interpret the case, or some other question that may open the door for an honest statement about the situation. Also, if there is a good reason (other than plain old procrastination) why you did not respond to the JD notice earlier, you should absolutely pursue this avenue as well. Good luck.
Take a deep breath
An apology would be nice, but for now, isn't it obvious (and enough) that she knows she messed up? You know it, she knows it, she knows you know it, & you know she knows it.
You may never get a flat-out apology, but who cares? She did the next best thing, considering she was probably pretty embarrassed. Not everyone is able to articulate remorse at the same moment they are feeling humiliated. Maybe later, or not. Move on.
You probably shouldn't waste your breath
You are so right.
How one finds themselves in a desperate situation like this is irrelevant.
I just can't help but think people who have the mentality of the poster to whom you responded are the same who claim to be Christians and Right-To-Lifers. I guess you only have the right to live if you're in the womb and not a sinner.
These people were totally disregarded as human. Make your bed mentality, have versus have not mentality, and as the poster below said, plantation mentality.
Yes, he was out of breath - could hardly get words out - it was disgusting

yeah, shall we hold our breath? *lol*..sm
it said there - they would be choosing only TWO winners.....*lol* - we probably were NOT the first two to do the test, eh? *giggles* 
I just take a deep breath and get through it. I have a high
percentage of ESL dictators, though most are very good. I have one American born dictator who is horrendous and he will dictate 15+ minute reports and yawns all the way through them, but he keeps dictating as he is yawning. He also can't figure out what to say and just keeps dictating so trying to figure out what is good dictation and what isn't is a job. If I have him first thing it can ruin my whole day, so I have just gotten where I take a deep breath, tell myself I have to get through it to go to the next one and it usually goes quickly once I adjust my attitude.
Hayseed, take a deep breath...
You've just reached the boiling point. How have you put up with this as long as you have? Yes, you'll still have your job. I think some companies like to see how far they can push someone, and the more you do, the more they want you to do. But they do not want to lose a great employee such as you.
I seldom post here but I always look for your posts because you're entertaining and enlightening. That may not mean much to you right now but I know you're going to get a lot of responses saying the same thing.
So take that deep breath. If necessary, maybe send a more calmly worded email to your boss stating things much as you did in your post here, especially the 2nd paragraph. It's very succinct and gets your points across. Now you hang in there. It's going to be okay.
Take a deep breath and relax!!!!!
You are feeling what every MT feels, newbie, experienced or old-timer. I have been doing MT for 8 years and still crack myself up with some of the mistakes I make. The fact that you are rereading and finding your mistakes is good. In time you will start to not make as many mistakes and your speed will improve. Quality over quanitity was what I was always told. Unless you are working for a company that is pushing you for turnaround time, just relax and you will be fine. If you are working for a company that is pushing for turnaround time and not as worried about quality, I would begin looking for a better company. MTs need time to build their skill and no company can expect you to know everything in only two years of experience.
Heck, in my 8 years, I still look things up, read, re-read and still sometimes have to leave a blank or ask the doc for clarification. That does not make me a bad MI but in most cases a better MT because in this business, we can not afford to guess what the answer is.
God Bless.
you obviously can't type and breath at the same time???

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on their
I have a glitch with mine and waited a month and a half, not wanting to be pushy. This was after I telephoned and spoke with the girl from Textware that posts here sometimes, told her what my problem was and that I had sent an e-mail through their website and not heard back within a few days. She told me to send her the glossary I was having trouble with, and I e-mailed it both as a reply to her, in accordance with her instructions for sending, and also e-mailed again to tech support through my own e-mail provider. Anyway, I finally contacted again and she was going to be out for a couple of days, and though another person did try to help, I have been too busy to mess with it, but was irritated that I was told they did not receive my e-mails (I still have them in my box) and Kristen did not bother to call and let me know they did not receive it, even though I had taken the time to call her and explain my problem after the first unsuccessful e-mail. Sorry, I guess I needed to vent about that . . .
Anyway, if you have your glossaries saved and are sure you won't lose anything, I would uninstall and reinstall if it were me.
Will not hold my breath on being acknowledged for the years
and really I am to the age where I really don’t mind, just the money I make is fine. My hubby works union for a company and has some seniority so that is a good thing, at least does not have to buy his gas nor pay for repairs, etc. on his vehicle. At my present job if the work is down low, I am at a point where now I can take off some and usually do, knowing there are people like me who in the past really needed to work and I defer to their needs. Like I said, been there. One difference I see with these jobs now is in the past we did not run out of work all the time but now these companies do. I would never enter a business like this now because so iffy. Took a while for my training and glad I made living at it but it is not really good now. I probably would have 6 or 7 jobs going now to make what I did with full and part in the past.
Took deep breath, several, now feeling faint!
Just kidding but am getting weary of thinking today. I was wrong at first- all need to underline this- husband says I never say I was wrong but anyway I have Infinity foot pedal, only 1 port to hook up monitor and no other port for my foot pedal. I got splitter today, will not work as had 2 female ends and I need 1 female and 1 male. This might be a repeat but again, old folks do this. Thanks everyone for all you have written, really appreciate all and still searching in case anyone else knows something different.
Got my chuckle for the night, doc talking about breath sounds - sm
and how the lungs were clear, etc. then the next sentence is "the patient is currently not breathing", just funny after the previous sentences on his lung sounds. Also diagnosed at age 2, however the child is only 14 months old, hmmm, nice trick there! Presume he means 2-months but will have to question it though since he did not say!
Possibly your autorecovery file, but I would not hold my breath unless -
you have it set up to do auto saves every few minutes or so. This feature has saved my butt a few times.
I agree. I found him to be very sexy. He'd always take my breath completely away!

Fresh Prince - Roseanne
I watch them every night on Nick-At-Nite. Well, not really watch, just listen while I'm working.
Fresh Salsa Recipe Too!
Here's the recipe for the salsa too...my husband begs me to make it every summer when the fresh tomatoes are in season. I love the flavor of the cilantro and lime juice. Yum!
FRESH SALSA
-12-14 LARGE ROMA TOMATOES
-ONE BUNCH FRESH CILANTRO
-ONE SMALL SWEET OR VIDALIA ONION (MORE OR LESS TO TASTE)
-ONE GREEN PEPPER
-2 CLOVES GARLIC
-JALAPENO PEPPER (START WITH A FEW THIN SLICES TILL DESIRED
TEMP.)
2 ˝ t. SALT
2 ˝ t. Lawry’s SEASON SALT
JUICE OF ˝ LIME (OPTIONAL)
IN A FOOD PROCESSOR, ADD CUT UP TOMATOES WITH A HANDFUL OF CILANTRO, PULSE TILL CHOPPED BUT NOT LIQUID. THIS WILL TAKE A FEW LOADS. POUR INTO LARGE BOWL.
ADD ONION, GARLIC AND GREEN PEPPER TO PROCESSOR. PULSE TILL FINELY CHOPPED. ADD TO BOWL.
ADD SEASONINGS AND MIX WELL.
LEAVE IN BOWL FOR ONE HOUR. MIX AGAIN AND TASTE TO SEE IF YOU NEED TO ADD ANY MORE HEAT OR SPICES.
KEEP IN FRIDGE (MUST BE KEPT COLD). USE WITHIN 5 DAYS. MAKES 2 TO 2 ˝ QUARTS.
Being a "service" employee is still fresh...
in my mind. Maybe after I've been out of the loop for a few more years, I might start to forget what it was like. But I highly doubt it, because all I have to do is go to any store, hospital, bank, restaurant, heck even a traffic light and just watch...watch the angry, impatient, "me me me me me me" people out there.
Working at home...I kinda feel like I'm my own boss. Sure there are e-mails and TAT issues, but I actually have control over most of that stuff. I get out of my job what I put into it. Yeah, some days are harder than others, but that's just life.
Fresh in my mind are the 8+ hour days of standing on my feet ALL DAY LONG at a register on Mother's Day in a sweltering hot greenhouse putting foil and bows on potted plants, or answering phones at an answering service that were so busy that at the end of 4 hours my voice would be hoarse, or being unable to pee because there was a line of ornery patient's waiting with scowls on their face because THEY needed their outpatient tests booked RIGHT NOW because THEY were on their lunch break and their time is money! (and then when you finally do get the chance to pee, some nasty-a$$ crotch-cricket-ridden patient decided to leave a floater or pee on the seat!) And all of this was at least 10 years ago now and still painfully vivid.
So yeah, go ahead and work in the real trenches and then make a fair comparison of working at home versus working somewhere else. Whackin' on keys and having to repeatedly playback some ESL now and again ain't nuthin' compared to putting up with a bunch of crap that you can only imagine if you haven't experienced it first hand.
Fresh out of school with no "real"
experience you have no clue. You don't know about various platforms, equipment needed, insurance, taxes, contracts, not to mention your transcription skills are limited and you have no QA skills.
Unfortunately there are many like you who seemed to have not investigated this business and how hard it is to get a job before taking classes and then end up in the same position as you, graduating and no chances of a job.
Another change is that fresh out of school 15 yrs ago,

So far all I have is some fresh green beans and potatoes....nm
Try a slice of fresh lemon in water.
It changes the taste completely.

Candles that smell like fresh cut grass. sm
Gosh, I just love that smell. Anyone know where I can purchase something like that? What a great pick me up for winter. Also, love the clean smell of fresh rain. If I could only bottle that aroma.....

Fresh out of school 13 years ago I made 8 cents gross/clinic/no ESL

Be realistic! A newbie, fresh out school, no experience whatsoever cannot expect to get accounts
on her own and definitely cannot expect to earn $50k!
EMR is coming whether you like it not and whether your doctors are older or not. Eventually the older doctors will retire and the new generation coming out of medical school are products of this technological age. There is no stopping it.
'Tis the season for fresh asparagus, steamed or roasted, or spinach sauteed with garlic. Yum! nm
