Golden Retriever! Love my golden! nm

I have a Golden Retriever that needs her walk every day, sometimes
twice a day. I walk 2 miles daily and go to the gym at least 3x a week. No big butt here, although I have noticed things shift as we get a little older. I am 39 and my boobs shift to my armpits (LOL) Any exercises for them?
A 3yo yellow lab and a 2yo golden retriever. sm
Believe me, they keep me busy! The yellow lab is a freak about his rubber ball - has to have it with him every second or he goes crazy. The golden retriever is still very much a baby but is getting better. Both of these breeds are considered a "puppy" until they 3yo, so I'm patiently biding my time til they leave the puppy stage. I love them to death, tho, and can't imagine life w/o them. The lab is the absolute best dog I've ever had. Great with the kids, good protectors.

Yup - 80 lb golden retriever loves to lay right at my feet. sm
She also likes to lay right at my chair, so when I roll it, I am always on her tail or something. She drives me crazy too. She has to be everywhere I am. Love her to death tho! Don't want to be without her.
Well you gave her a fair chance, asked her to stop. It's a shame she didn't take the chance. n

Anyone out there own a Chesapeake Bay Retriever?
I have an 8-month old 'pup'. I say that in quotes because Nitro is bigger than my 5 and 10-year old Labs. I know that Labs are h*** for the first 2 years then calm down to be great dogs. Will Nitro be the same? He is absolutely the most bull headed dog I have ever had. Took him to obedience class and he graduated (how, I don't know), but he seems to have his own agenda and it depends on whether he feels like listening. I work from home, but if I leave he gets so excited when I come home that one time he jumped straight up and took my sunglasses right off my face, but his body never touched me. However, I have young grandchildren and he is soooo gentle with them and protective. He gets plenty of exercise. We have 5 acres and a large pond and he will swim for literally an hour straight. He has great genes - father is Amer. and Canadian champ and mother is Amer. champ, certified obedience, certified companion dog and certified rescue dog. I love this dog. He is the smartest dog I have ever had - learns quick. I would just like to know if someone has an older Chessie and what I could expect in the future.

2 Labs - Maggie and Samantha - our dogs own the house - we just pay the mortgage!
Our Golden used to be that way sm
I found that if I ignored the storm and went about my daily routine, he calmed down. Also, if you have the tv on with the all the weather announcements that go beep, beep, beep, trying putting the tv on mute. I found the noise with those announcements drove him nuts. He's much better if he doesn't hear that constant beep, beep, beep. We also took him outside to see the sky, play in the rain, etc. It worked. He's no longer afraid. Lots of petting worked,too. Good luck!

Does anyone know anything about Golden Isle medical transcription?
The Golden Girls...
I love the Golden Girls...though it does come on Lifetime I think like 5-6 times a day...I love that show! 
Golden Isles Transcription - sm
Question for anyone who has been with them long enough to form an opinion! How is work availability and pay scale? Do they offer vacation time? If not, do they allow you to take a week off (unpaid) for vacation. How flexible is scheduling? How are the QA people? I have checked the archives and cannot find a whole lot. Maybe a fairly new company? TIA!
Don't get hung up with the golden handcuffs. (SM)
It is so easy to convince yourself you cannot make as much money at a different company or on a different account, or never find anything better, so you stay where you are, taking all the abuse in the world. In management, this is called the Golden Handcuff, and they rely on it to keep the same employees, never give a raise, never give respect, and just continue to walk all over you.
In this profession you are very mobile if you can transcribe at all. It may take a month to get used to a new system, a new account, or whatever, but your self respect is worth it in the end. There are a lot of companies out there that actually do appreciate employees, and it certainly does not seem to be any of the companies who are mentioned frequently on these boards.
I changed jobs about a month ago, thought I would never learn, but in a week I was making far more with a small MTSO than I ever did with a large company. Treat yourself to a new beginning and a new year.
Golden Isles Transcription? sm
Can anybody tell me anything good or bad about Golden Isles Transcription. They have an opening for oncology account. Thinking about jumping out of the Medquist boat. Anybody?
When you teach your child about the Golden

My Golden does that same exact thing every evening at the
exact same time, 9:30 p.m. This usually happens after she is finished eating. We leave her bowl down 24/7 and she eats whenever she is hungry, so food never became an issue. She tends to eat mostly in the evening around 9 PM and she gets energy spurts right after. How funny is that!
She is 4 years old and still plenty active. She is my best buddy though. Awesome breed, would never want any other.
Labs and retrievers must have exercise every day. We walk for at least 30 minutes with at least 15 minutes of free run for her in an open field.
Love my Golden!
Golden cuffs! sounds kinky or more like
socialism again. Why doesn't the owner have a right to profit from his/her/their investiment? This isn't a debate about what profit is acceptable and what isn't. As another poster said, it isn't YOUR money on the line. I bet you would B&M no what what job you did, who you did it for or what standards (or lack of standards) you would be held to or not wish to be held to. You either get it or you don't. This issue isn't confined to the MT business...which brings a question to mind...if you feel you are being mistreated, you must like it because you don't seem to be getting out of it! I firmly believe in capitalism...what can I say, I'm a fan of Ben Franklin!
Everyone wanted me to wait, I just couldn't. We do have another dog, a golden, but he is my hubby's
dog. Just not quite the same. I like lap dogs and he weighs in at 120 pounds, too big for my lap. The two dogs get along great. The golden loves the fact that he now has someone to play with, as my other one was much too old to do anything but eat, sleep and potty, all in that order. There was quite a bit of adjustment, but it has worked out great.
When I was little I thought it was a giant golden potato chip- sm
we even called it that every year...don't remember how that got started though, funny now.
Thinking of applying at Golden Isles Medical Transcription..sm
Would someone with some inside information please email me? I would like to know some particulars about this company before I think of applying for a job. Would be interested in their platform, the type of accounts, their line rate, whether they require weekend work, and anything else you would care to share! Thank you.
My neighbor had a golden lab that went to obedience school and was shot in their yard because of

You are probably right. If I were looking for a job, I would not take the chance with this one. nm

Is your dad by any chance (sm)
a less than happy camper when he wakes up in the morning? Maybe moving a little too fast in the morning? Maybe Snoopy is avoiding dad when dad's adrenaline is pumping, but doesn't see a problem when dad is kicked back and relaxed.
Then there's the off chance that...
The person who posted wasn't "Joan Berre," but was trying to potentially cause trouble for her. I would hate to think that anyone would do that, but it's possible.
I have a chance (m)
to go to work in-house for $17/hour. The problem is it's a 2 hour drive each way for me. I have a car that gets great gas mileage. Would you do it?
By any chance was it... (sm)
Proficient Transcription? There have been numerous complaints about this so-called company. They may be under a different name by now but the owner's name was Donna. She had people give her money to buy equipment they could buy themselves and then would give them next to nothing in terms of work and then not pay for what they did. Just curious if this was the same.
IMO...not a chance. No way, no how.
I beat VR with my own standards and templates, but it's still nowhere near that. On the most excellent of days with the perfect dictators and best templates I can get 550/hour. But again..that's a lot of template/expander help.
Not a chance....
Especially if termination was through no fault of your own, and was due to their own internal structuring.
Make their loss, your gain, and don't look back.
You can do better.
By chance is this MT Daily?

Give MQ a chance...
Isn't it just possible that after all is said and done, and after all the changes, MQ may very well be a much better company to work for? Perhaps closing all these millions of branches (and the wildly different management styles, i.e. Columbus versus Amherst) will result in a more streamlined, consistent company where there is consistency across the board? Trimming the fat can be a good thing, U know. Personally I think Amherst is on borrowed time - a soon-to-be relic of the bad old days when nothing was done the same way from branch to branch. After all the dust settles, MQ just MIGHT be an excellent place to work again - but at least we should hear them out and give them the chance to prove it. Just my 2.5 cents...
Any chance it is something along the line of... sm
glioependymal cyst, meningeal cyst,
Are you by any chance from Alaska?
Or do you mean just because it gets dark early because of the time change. I've heard of people in Alaska with the night being so long using that light for depression, but that's really the only time I've heard of it.
That is good. I would never take a chance sm
with my pets. Cats are felines. Dogs are canines. Two different species. What works on one "could" kill the other in some instances. Just check pet poison control centers. Maybe same chemicals in some instances, but different formulas entirely. 
I had a chance to sign up.
My ex-employer was into it. There were some local people who did well with it and were in that upper group. Also, I had the opportunity to check out some of the tapes without buying. I still never found the money to get started. Now I am glad I didn't.
No. She had her chance and didn't win.
Now if she's unable to try out due to an injury, that's too bad. No one else would be given the luxury of not having to try out and still getting on the team. She already got to to go the Olympics, so give someone else a chance!
Do you by any chance use Benadryl or
anything containing diphenhydramine? I don't have RLS, but when I use the above to help me sleep I have it really bad. Just in case you do use it, I thought I'd let you know. Good luck!
I agree with you. You only get one chance
to make a first impression. If 5 people come in for the job all w/the same credentials, I would pick the one w/the neatest appearance. At K-Mart he's probably going to doing something where customers can see him. I insist on my son wearing clean, pressed slacks or jeans and a shirt w/a collar.
If given the chance would you go hourly or ... sm
stay production if the pay per hour was around $15 with no opportunity to make more per hour or as an employee with incentive and all you were making a minimum of 9.5 cents per line? Is it better to make a little less but know exactly what you are going to make each week or just go for the ability to make more and hope you are able to stay productive. Thanks.
I would jump at the chance....

Give the kid a chance....
she has to start somewhere. If you are as good as you say then you will be an excellent trainer for her and will be rewarded for teaching her the ropes. IMHO you sound kind of threatened by this and I have to wonder why. Be nice and help her along in becoming great transcriptionist.
Would you by chance work for
MD-IT
I speed them up every chance I get!
I have a chance to get an account but I need a VPN.
I googled and found some information and from what I understand it is very simple to setup and basically like setting up any connection to the internet. Is it really that easy?
I would have jumped at the chance.
20 minutes away? The last job where I actually was offered any training was 45 minutes away, but I went. Although meeting face to face is not necessary, I always enjoyed putting a face to a name/voice. I think, in this case, it was irresponsible of the MTs to blow this off. With my present job the MTSO came out and loaded the software on my computer and briefly showed me how to use it. I appreciated even that much. Most of the time ICs are expected to just be able to do it. I am an older MT with lots of experience, but I scramble for any technical experience/training I can get.
Are you talking VR by any chance?
If you are I have done the same group now for over 15 years, first straight and then VR. I do not see as to where there has been any change whatsoever in their speech, lack of, changing for the better and so on. I will say this, years ago in the 80s I worked at a hospital and did some outside work for a group of internists. One physician there was a horrible dictator; however 1 day he dictated in his office his own personal note to the bank regarding HIS money and it was unbelievably clear, no garbling, did not have to strain to hear him so they can do better, I know. Having said that, I have noticed no difference in their using a machine as to using the MTers- they basically just do not care (the majority, that is). What I hear on VR now is what I have heard for years and years, same ole.
No Admin here but think U should have chance

Our best chance at success would come from - sm
changes in how the US taxes all employers. Instead of rewarding them with a tax break for offshoring, there should be a HEFTY tax. They should pay for the 'privilege' of using cheap labor, not get rewarded for it. If something like could get passed in Congress, it would automatically include all MTSOs. Then things might change for the better for the average American worker.
Is this by any chance Pro-Type??sm
I think you should state the company name, this will save other MTs who are hired by these people a HUGE headache. If someone does that to me, I make sure and post about them and their company on every MT board I can find. Good luck.
Taking a chance
I saw an ad for a transcription job on Craigslist, and I responded. It turned out not to be medical transcription. If I can get the footpedal to work next time, it could be fun. I've never heard of the company, so if it turns out to be an honest company with plenty of work and reasonable pay, I'll post the name. It's neat because you can take the work they send or send it back. What a change from the usual, right? The rate is $18 per AUDIO hour, so we'll see what that translates to.
Does this have anything to do with TigerFish by chance?

Well people, here's your chance
There's going to be a industry-wide conference in Kentucky in April to hash out the current state and future of VR/SR/ASR/SRT. I think the first order of business should be to decide on a name (or initials) and stick to it.
Anyway, MTs can click on the below link and then click on their link that starts with "MTIA and AHDI seek your feedback...." I haven't taken it yet so don't know whether it's just radio buttons to select canned answers or whether there's a place for written answers. If there is, I'd be almost tempted to write a response that looks like some of the VR output I've seen!
Have at it, MTs. Let your voices be heard.
