  • Just curious...what do YOU think would - be appropriate behavior?
    • Are you serious? - CJ
      • Why is it that when MTs resign they - expect someone to beg them to stay.
        • No one is saying they want to be "begged" - just an acknowledgement that one is leaving! NM
        • I would just expect a "Good job and we appreciate all the hard work you did for us over the - years. We wish you good luck." nm

Do you do this every night or just on Fridays? If it's just on Fridays, probably not (nor would I probably even be aware of it).

Thursdays as well, since the work that comes in after 5 isn't due until Monday morning.

Hospitals have a rhythm. Does your way of ensuring turnaround mean that almost every job you have is over 10 minutes, leaving all the 1 and 2 minute 'nuisance' reports in the queue? Do all the ops remain in the queue (I'm a fan of the work type, but not everybody is)? I'm reaching annoyance stage.

I get both long and shorter jobs.

Again with the rhythms- Are there particularly egregious dictators that you get to essentially ignore because they're morning birds while Dr. Chatty Easylines and Dr. Joe Makinbigbucks routinely dictate 1500 lines, which for them entails a total of 4 hours of typing combined) at about 7:00 each evening. Yeh, now I'm PO'd.

All the dictators on this particular account have their jobs come in at various times.  I get the good, the bad and the ugly . . . just like everybody else.

Are you then one of those people that wil come on here and gloat about how on average you type 400-500 lines/hour and make roughly $25/hour, can't understand why all transcriptionists can't do it, and suggest we tinker and modify our expansion program so we can be as good as you? Be thankful the internet is anonymous because otherwise I'd know if you worked for my company and I would be kicking up a fuss like you wouldn't believe.

I make good money, but I don't come on here and "gloat."  I've been with my company for many years.  They are happy with the work I do.  Also, I work every weekend day to do those jobs I take.  The other MTs at my company do not want to work weekends.  I also work nights AND during the day.  I have a flexible schedule, but I work a lot because I want to make a lot. 

and told him about my symptoms (that I think I have tennis elbow...left lateral epicondylitis...lol...I'm sure he thinks I'm a big 'ole hypochondriac using the correct terminology), and he said if it gets too bothersome to come in and he will give me a cortisone shot (so, no need for a referral, etc...just one $15 copay).  That's good to know that he can do it in his office.

Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions.  I actually have one of those aircast braces.  I liked the idea of the keyboard/forearm rest.  It's a bit spendy though, so I'll have to see if we can afford it after Christmas.  Castor oil, huh?  Well it's worth a try.  Hahaha...it reminds me of when I used to do daycare.  One of the parents told me if their baby got the hiccups, I was to tear off a piece of brown paper bag, hold it against her forehead, and feed her a bottle.  I thought they were absolutely nuts.  Well, she got the hiccups...although I felt totally silly, I tried what they suggested...and it WORKED!  I couldn't believe it!  I tried it on my next two babies and it worked on them too!  So now I know better than to laugh at "weird" suggestions. :)

This Friday is my last day of a 2-week notice and, as of yet, the administrator has not said a word to me about leaving. I've worked inhouse for these people for 20 years. No questions as to why, nothing.  The assistant only said she was glad for me and wished me well. What do you make of spending 20 years of your life doing your best and, in the end, they could care less? Boy, do I feel stupid, but definitely made the right decision in leaving.

My twin granddaughters, the dynamic duo, (17 months)  who will be spending the rest of the weekend with Gram and "Aunnie" (my 11-year-old).  Can't wait to play and spoil, spoil, spoil!

I probably will be in bed and sound asleep after they leave Sunday at 7:00.  :)

Put your answer in your subject line, so we can see the results without opening every post, please.  Thanks!

Are you a CMT?

A. Yes.

B. No.

C. Will be soon.

D. Will be later.

E. Who cares???

I'm hosting a spa party at my house on Friday at 6:30 p.m.  I'm going to serve:

Vegetable pizza

Chips/Mexican dip (cheese, cooked ground beef, salsa in the crock pot)

Fresh fruit (strawberries, grapes, blueberries)

Lemon squares

Tea/soda/coffee

Would it be okay to use pale yellow paper plates, napkins, utensils, hot/cold cups with a white tablecloth and a vase of fresh flowers?  Can I move the chairs away from the kitchen table and serve the food there or should I put it on a table in the den where we'll be having the party?  Should I offer drinks as people arrive and wait until everyone is there before we eat or should everyone just get their food/drink as they arrive? 

I've never had or been to this type of party, so I'm really nervous.  Does my menu sound like enough, too much, yucky choices???  I thought it would be fun having a spa party, but it's made me a first-class nervous wreck planning it! 

I'm open to all ideas and recommendations.  Thanks.

We are directly under the physician. We are not BCBS or the government.

You may have already seen these, if not they are rather cute.

Purchase some plastic (deli type) disposable gloves.  These are made to touch food, etc.  Put a candy corn in fingertips (for fingernails) stuff rest with popcorn.  Tie top with colored black/orange ribbon, and put plastic spider rings (found everywhere at halloween) on top of glove after they are stuffed.  These are really kinda cute.

Okay, 5 years ago, our family threw a huge party - a pig roast actually - with over 100 people during the course of the night.  My father-in-law said he wanted to do it again this year, but has since backed out because of his health not being the best and my husband has no interest in planning.  I would love to charge in and do it myself except for one thing - I have no idea how to roast a pig.  I was thinking of just having burgers and dogs as well as whatever sides people want to bring, soda, beer, etc and just turn up the music and have a blast.  My husband says you can't have a pig roast one year and turn around and just have hamburgers another time.   I think he's full of it!  Any opinions?  And be kind...he IS a great guy.  Just a party p**per when it comes to this.

Happy 4th!
