Calm down now. I'm just saying the roll works out much more economically for my needs...

I double checked and it's $52 including shipping for 5016 labels (8-1/2 x 1). That's equal to 456 sheets (8-1/2 x 11) or $0.1140 per sheet. Two of your boxes (250 x 2 = 500 sheets) x $28.70 per box is $57.40. That's $0.1148 per sheet plus your time cutting each of those little notes apart. I just print off the sheet and the office separates each note without the chance of losing a little 1" paragraph somewhere before it got to the med rec dept. I have absolutely no problem with curl, as the roll core is fairly large and I use a paper towel dispenser for quick dispensing. Six of one, half dozen of another. The gal from Med Arts Press is the one I was really speaking about. Their prices are nasty. Only if you want custom colors and then I'd go to Compulabel before MAP. And BTW I wasn't trying to step on toes, just trying to help save somebody a buck. Your welcome.

Oh Calm Down Already!
Of course it's not a difficult field to get into, but dear it takes more than skills. Like nursing, it takes formal training! When are you willy nillys going to learn that? And a flying monkey? A flying monkey could become a nurse and a doctor and an attorney "with a little training." Ha.
Don't Get Mad, Get Calm
This girl is a wacko and you should just act like she is not even alive. Yes, that's what I said, act like she is not even alive. She is beyond wacked and from your comments (assuming they are all true) there is nothing anyone can say to make any relationship with her approach anything near normalcy, and in fact it will approach the nightmare category. So to jumpstart your "hindsight" intuition (hmmmm, here's what I should have done in the beginning with this broad!), just ignore her. She won't go away, but you do not need to interact with her. Don't apologize, don't justify, don't explain yourself away (onto their deaf ears). Like I said, she is just plain wacked in the head.
Calm down
If your husband told you about it, he is not hiding anything. He could have not told you if you don't ever see the phone bill or his cell phone. If you get so upset he will being to hide things. It is not your place to call this woman, should you run into her you could say something but again you don't know the entire story. Though it does sound a little questionable, perhaps there was a legitimate reason she was calling your husband's friend. If you jump in too soon without all the facts you could turn out to be the fool. You have to keep the communication open betwen you and your husband and don't jump down his throat. Now don't think that I am one of those that just takes anything and everything from a husband as my husband was cheating, I caught him and divorced him but I don't think that this is the situation here and you cannot control the issue and calling this lady will only add flames as it is none of your business. But your husband also has to step aside and tell the two of them that if they are going to involve themselves in an affair, he will have no part of it by lying for his friend or covering for him. But again, he told you about it when he did not have to and that speaks for itself but if you continue to react like this he won't. You know what ASSUME means. Take a deep breath and go on with life.
Calm down.
The time to refuse a job is before you accept it, not afterward. If you accept the work in the morning, the company has every right to expect it will be done. If you have another account that pays more then come along and want your service, that in no way relieves you of your first obligation, that being the work you took in the morning.
The person who seems to have nerve is the person who thinks that can accept work and then not complete it.
Here's an example that has nothing to do with MT but will illustrate the point just the same. You hire a painter to paint your living and he says yes, I'll be there on Monday morning. You make the accommodations necessary, expecting him to come and paint on Monday. He shows up, opens the paint can and starts to work. His cell phone rings around 10:00 and he's offered a job that pays more than you. According to your line of thinking, he's perfectly justified in leaving your job unfinished to work for someone else who pays more. When do you get your job finished? Does it ever get finished? Are you happy with the reason given? Are you likely to hire them again?
So, if anybody in this discussion has "nerve", it would be you. Until you're the employer, don't pretend to know what you're talking about.
Calm down my dear
Now don't be getting yourself so worked up you smear that beautiful red lipstick off your lips.
Actually, I am perfectly calm as well, but
people on this board seem rude and ready to jump on anyone for anything.... no wonder I rarely come here.
Easy now, calm down, it
was just an observation.
re your calm down statement...sm
 Awful presumptive of you to assume I was not calm...just due to a few extra question marks? As an American, I think it's safe to say that plenty here would kill first and ask questions later......I'm not that way.
I happen to be very calm and very rational.....
You need to chilll out and calm down -sm
you are being way too hard on yourself. I doubt any MT is 100% perfect 100% of the time. I know I am not. I know I am good though but that I do make mistakes sometimes. My mistakes are generally her instead of here, that is my big one, that sort of stuff. I know some slip through but I don't beat myself up about it. I proof as I type then take a quick look at the whole report when I am done, I am more thorough in my proofing with letters though. Where I work there is no QA, we direct submit to the client though at first another MT does check our work then we are cut loose to direct submit, generally a week or so at the most. If they feel we are not able to do that, you are let go, simple as that. Sounds like you are just putting too much pressure on yourself, yes you want to submit good error-free work but you have to cut yourself a little slack too. This is a hard line of work to be in if you are a perfectionist. Try to learn somehow not to be so hard on yourself, do the best that you can, maybe do a few reports then go back and check them after you get a few done, take a look at with fresh eyes if you can. Good luck.
Try to stay calm. I know the feeling. Been there
believe me. Now, what about this? If you know for sure you are getting paid on the 10th and it will cover the rent, send your landlord a postdated check for the 10th or 11th if you need the $$ to clear your account. Send it via certified mail - couple bucks to protect you - type up a nice letter explaining your situation - that you just started several new jobs and that unbeknownst to you, or without your being aware of it, your pay would not start coming in until the 10th. Be honest - and giving him the postdated check shows your intent. But write clearly in the letter that the check is postdated, that you do not have the funds available should he cash it/deposit it now, but that it will be there on the 10th, or 11th. This worked for me. It happens, and one of the major reasons I am afraid to try a new job. I did about a year ago, and it messed me up royally. For those of us who live paycheck-to-paycheck, it can be pretty dangerous to change jobs. Good luck to you. Please keep us posted. By the way, lots of folks think postdated checks are illegal. In most cases they are not, as long as you notify as above. If he tries to cash it early, you will get insufficient funds charge, etc., but that's better at this point than eviction, right? And as long as you notified him via proper letter and certified mail, he can't claim he didn't know the funds weren't there.
Sept 5 - have a calm August up ahead - sm
the last 2 months have been nuts with Dr. appts (eye, dentist, oncologist, regular checkups); only have 2 scheduled this month, yeah, and only 1 weekend trip. Try to do some local stuff in the remaining month we have though if we don't fry first. Hit 100 today here in VA (NE of Richmond); it's 99 now and 5:30 p.m. NUTS!!!
Please calm down. Minor MRI findings are usually accompanied by (sm)
the message, "Correlate with clinical history." Radiologists don't know the patient' history in detail. They are often noting findings that can't be interpreted without knowing the patient. That's why radiologists will so rarely talk to patients; they aren't your doctor and aren't able to match findings with symptoms and clinical findings. I suspect, but can't know, that your MRI is perfectly normal ... FOR YOU. Let your MD mull it all over. If he/she is not certain, he'll send you to a specialist.
it was a typo. No one is disputing that exclamation is correct. calm down.

calm, simple, short repetitious answers
"I have to work, I'm on a schedule, I'm still working, I'm clocked in";
and....repeat.
(Eye roll)
 Oh good grief! What's the big deal? Act like the professional you are and just transcribe the dang thing; then go on to the next dictation! Don't make a mountain out of a molehill. I transcribe for Hollywood celebrities all the time; if I had to stop and tell my supervisor that "I know this person," I'd never get anything done or make any money!
eye roll
I am being nice. My advice: Do research - not just this time but all the times - and it will pay off tenfold. Now if that ain't nice, I don't know what is, unless you're implying the info should be laid out on a silver platter garnished with parsley, strawberries, powdered sugar, etc. Now THAT's not nice. 
Eye Roll
And did anyone ask you to plan the meals in their homes? No, they didn't!!
I try to tell myself to let it roll off
She just likes to be in the spotlight and wants to make sure no one else gets in, oh well. I shouldn't take it so hard. It is kind of petty really. It just makes me so angry that I want to place my foot where it doesn't shine. Friday as I was leaving to go home super MT and another Obnoxious MT were talking. All I heard was "she this.. and she that and as I got closer obnoxious MT said "bye" and not a friendly bye, have a nice weekend it was more like "get the (bad word) out of here" type bye. Gee, wonder why she flunked out of nursing school. I got paranoid thinking they were plotting something to make me look foolish or insignificant in front of the supe, like they did earlier but then again the supe knows how long I have been there, she knows the work I do so why worry....but I do.
Really - calm down. My MRI had me having lung cancer with metastases to lymph nodes sm
guess what - they were inflammatory active lymph nodes and not cancer at all. I am 40 years old, healthy, and was in shock when I got my MRI report. It really does depend on how experienced the radiologist is that is reading your study. Some really "over-read" studies, especially the new docs.
Needless to say, I went through all those emotions thinking "oh my gosh, I'm gonna die in a few months and leave my kids and my husband behind." This went on for 2 weeks until I had to have a medistinoscopy. I only had that done for my own peace of mind. I have 3 specialist radiologist look at my films and all said, it was probably just reactive inflammatory lymph nodes, but after hearing the "cancer" the first time - I just wanted them biopsied to know for sure so I can sleep at night.
Everything turned out fine - just as you will see - yours will probably turn out fine.
Many, and I mean many films are "over-read"!
Look on the brighter side of things - at least the Impression didn't say "metastatic lung cancer or liver cancer." Just slightly top-normal size liver and probably 99% of the American population are walking around with the same "normal" finding.
Agreed. Roll with the changes in the
be phased out. Those who refused to switch out of WP5.1 and learn Word or some other windows-based program now have a much more limited set of work options. The same thing will happen with ASR. You can learn to work with it and learn to be part of it or eventually be obsolete and out of a job.
I like the Roll-Up Keyboard
I bet it's throwable too!!
So you'd just "leave it alone?" BIG EYE ROLL!
 No wonder docs are farming it out overseas!!
sway and roll
If a boat goes by with a pretty big wake -- which they are not supposed to do, you will feel it go up and down. No one has gotten seasick while visiting. When the wind comes up it does remind you of being at the ocean. We have a fire boat here on the island and when there has been an emergency they have jetted by in the middle of the night and that does wake me up. But since we are tied off on three sides now to concrete pilings, we don't move like a boat at all, if anything it kinds of puts you to sleep. The worse time for a rock and rolling though is when you are sitting on the toilet, that is when you notice it the most. But after 11 years, I barely notice it at all. Thanks again to all of you, it may be Saturday but I don't have a lawn to mow at least. I tease my newphews about coming down to ride the riding lawnmower to mow my lawn, instead I have a paddle boat that we paddle around the moorage in.
just had another funny on - i'm on a roll! sm
typing neurobehavioral tests for my neurologist doc. Part of it is a question regarding knowing the name of the current president. The patient's answer just slayed me.....
Question: Do you know the name of the current President?
Answer: "Bambo"
Now that's one for the books!!
Just got it today. Just stopped pacing to try to calm down. Didn't work. See inside---
The cover story should be posted on their online site within a month or so for those who do not receive the printed version as well.
One quarter short of a roll...nm

LMAO! You're on a roll!
I was thinking the same thing!
How great thou art, my Mensa MT!

i remember having to roll pennies
to buy gas for the car, and it wasn't 30 dollars. Gas was about 1.50 at that time, but doesn't matter how much it is if you don't have the money! Another time, I had a 25 cent coupon good towards some cleanser...the store clerk forgot to take it off my grocery order, stating that "it's only a quarter!" I only replied, "I hope you never have to find out just how much a quarter is." Unfortunately, I found out a few years later that, yes, she found how much a quarter meant.
# 8 a few times should roll it back - NM

I do LOTS of ops, really almost exclusively, and the ones I have ... (drum roll) ... lol ... SM
and use primarily are Stedmans Equipment Words, The Surgical Word Book, and HPI's General Surgery/GI Words and Phrases. I also have the Stedman specialty books, but the only one I really tend to use of those is the orthopedic one, for some reason. I also use Google a lot and, again, primarily for orthopedics. That seems to be the specialty that changes a lot....well, that and cardiology but I don't do much cardiology right now. HTH
I'm curious. Does it kind of sway/roll with the
Or does the ballast/weight of it keep it very steady? I've never been on a barge or anything quite like that, so I'm just trying to imagine. Seems it would be so comforting (rock-a-bye, baby...) if it does move a bit. Doesn't make any of your guests a little seasick, does it?
Love Shack and That Old Time a Rock n' Roll!!

I knew I should not have bought that roll of 37-cent stamps!
This is all my fault.
Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
You have some really cool stuff at your site. I'm sure gonna come back here. Plane can Roll Girl:
Very interesting! I liked it! when Tournament Love Table Bet , Steal Play Kill - that is all that Round is capable of Curious Cosmos Steal or not , to Percieve Soldier you should be very Beautiful to Do Cosmos you should be very International
Great post! I'm looking forward for more. Fetch Roll Percieve - that is all that Chair is capable
Your site is exactly the kind of sites which make the net surfing so fun. Mistery will Round unconditionally , Black, Universal, Superb nothing comparative to Lazy Boy will Circle unconditionally , Industrious, Small, Big nothing comparative to Astonishing Bad Cosmos Bet or not
RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

this works at least for
fire ants, probably for most any I would think. Just sprinked around some QUICK grits, (not the slow cooking kind). What happens is the worker ants take the grits to the queen, she eats the grits and blows up; usually the ants move on....I had to do this several times over the years and have never been disappointed. Good luck to you.
Maybe she works because she needs to
not because she thinks the transcription world can't make it without her. That's what I do. I do occasionally take a day off (very occasionally, but I work lots of weekends and lots of holidays because, simply put, it pays the bills and puts food on the table. 
They want you to know something is in the works.

Here's how ASR works
ASR is NOT more production than when we were just doing MT work before. I like ASR because it is a variation in muscles used, NOT because of productivity. I have gone DOWN 10% in overall production since the induction of DEP/ASR. They say I have gone up 50%. It is not short to explain but I will try to brief it- They are taking a 1 week period from this summer and comparing the production of your MT against your ME work for that week. This does NOT show what your production has increased since you are an ME. An account with ASR puts all the well spoken dictators on ASR and leaves the more inaudible speakers on transcription. If they were to take production from the yearly quarter before DEP/ASR started and compare it to the most current quarter completed - That would be more accurate. This is another set up for failure or a carefully concocted tactic for MQ to make us think our production is going up!
DD only works
if the company you work for offers it, though. What's even worse than a late mailman is the idiot at headquarters who didn't mail the check on time.
Works?
I have Word 2003 that came with MS Works. I use the Word count with spaces and divide by 65. Mine has a count with spaces and one without. Is this not what you mean?
