I have had the strangest thing happen to me about how my MT career is going.  Up until about a year ago, I felt very secure in my career, working for a hospital for a long time.  After they let our incentive go, I got into a couple of jobs with services where it seemed like something was wrong with each.  Line counts not right, no work available, etc.  I finally am working as an IC with a decent company, however, when I first started there they were running out of work constantly. So, I have 3 accounts now, and I see they are hiring again.

My problem is this: I have this fear that I will never again be able to feel comfortable in my job. I keep looking for other jobs to go alongside this one in case we run out of work again.  But, my doc says one job is enough, or I get stressed out.  This is ever since the last year when I was tossed about between services.  But I keep looking to see if I can find that 1 job where I don't have to worry anymore.  I would take it along side this for long enough to know that this other new job would provide the security I seek.

Yet, when I get a second job, I am afraid of having 2, so I stick with the IC and regret that I did not try.  Any suggestions?  I am not asking for a million dollars, or even a guarantee that the job be 100% perfect.  I just want to be comfortable in the knowledge that I can have a decent paycheck and feed my kids without worrying from day to day will there be work? Are they over-hiring again? Should I indeed quit looking for that job and settle with my phobias, or should I trust my instinct, keep looking and finally overlap the 2 for a while (in spite of the doc's warnings of stress) and perhaps get a better job?

Thanks in advance for your comments.  I am so confused, because I have never in my life experienced such a lack of trust in my job and a possible new job.

I feel your pain, but they don't have to be foreign.  What about Dakota?  Is that a boy, a girl or the family truck?  I know I shouldn't laugh.  A dear friend has a lovely little boy with that name.  It's just that when you're typing a report without a genital exam, how can you tell?

I used to be director of medical records in a tiny rural hospital, so I typed up the birth certificates.  Here are some of my all-time personal favorites:

Caboose.  A little boy, the 8th child.  Mom didn't care what the Pope said, this was it and she had a tubal.

Princess Leia.  The original Star Wars had just come out.

Vagina.  Yeah, you read that right!  A little girl.  Nobody could change mom's mind.  That was an interesting call from the Health Department!

Bambi.  I know, it's more common than I thought.  Great for a little kid who can't talk yet, but I have no picture of her 98 and in a nursing home.

Actually, my coworkers weren't any better.  We threatened to provide a "name your baby service" for the parents who just couldn't come up with a name after 8-9 months of thinking about it.  The Wolf twins were going to be Timber and Gray.  The Fruit triplets were going to be Grape, Passion and Juicy.  No, we never really did that, but we were tempted. 

Hope you had a good laugh.  You deserve it!

Fun way to learn to type and brush up on your skills.

then she's trying to read the date of discharge and says, "God, can't anybody write?  You're going  to have hold off on that because I really can't read any of this."

Hmmm, doc, it's just like YOUR DICTATION.....couldn't you at least spell the name or say it twice the SAME WAY within 2 sentences.

Okay, I'm done venting now.

I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers.  Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer.  Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card?  Did it make a difference. 

Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you.  You have helped me many times. 

but I should have quit sooner (Medquist). They misrepresented (I'm being nice here) the type of work I would have. When there was work (constantly ran out), I spent most of my time looking up names of physicians for the demographics. It was a nightmare. After a few reports, I'd get the dreaded "There are no more reports. Please press...."  Then I'd call the office and if I was lucky, someone would return my call in an hour....Like I said, I didn't want to feel like a quitter either, but I finally figured that they weren't treating me like a valuable employee, why should I hang in there when no one would even return my calls?  My previous employer took me right back, and  thankfully hadn't found a permanent replacement for my accounts!  If I ever search again, I will try the new place out first part-time before jumping into the flame.

on this forum was saying she bought 2003 with 2008 Works for 48.00 or so on E-Bay, from a seller in Arizona.  Another person wrote a message that it wasn't 2003 with 2008 Works but 2002, but the original poster said it was INDEED 2003 and she was using it!  You might try search?

I remember this post because it interested me in that I needed a copy of 2003 & was willing to buy it through E-Bay.  Luckily, my hubby works for computer manufacturer in testing division.  They had an unused copy of 2003 that they didn't really need or want as they said this was "old technology" & they let me have it!    Made my day!

So not very often...just....It was just something that my dad never did with us and I don't like it. I've told him that but he just shrugs his shoulders about it and says it is no big deal, even when she points and says like, what's that?

 I don't know, am I a prude? I just don't think it is appropriate.

And the hospitals have been busy lately, that's the funny thing! 

Does anybody know of a service that will let you work part-time a very minimal amount of hours, like 10 hours a week?  I haven't seen a service like that in a long time.  TIA
