I figured it out... nm

You are SO RIGHT!! Figured that
out awhile ago. Garbage in, garbage out! I make 7 cpl and don't have all day...
figured it out
geez -- I had to go to the second option but was in a PANIC -- thanks for your help didnt see the little backwards P symbol but did go into tools and figured it out 
The way I figured it out (sm)
One of the MTSOs I worked for wanted perfect everything. Then we were to look up all names since we were never given spelling and this took an extremely long time. Then the MTSO threatened to not pay us if we didn't look up the names.
Simply put, I decided it wasn't worth my time and quit.
That's what I figured. Thanks! (nm)

I figured it out. *nm*

i figured as much
I've just been switched to another account to help out another transcription service - which was an account that I understood to be solely an account of the company I work for now - so they are either losing it or they never had the entire account to begin with. this MTing after 15 years is driving me crazy - i think it may be time to move on.
I figured it out!!! sm
For some reason unknown to me, my husband was messing around on my computer last night and turned ON the User Account Control. I have told him many, many, many times that this feature needs to be OFF in order for me to do my job. He always listens so well! I will be placing a lock on the door to this room and he will not be allowed in here anymore.
I figured it out. Thanks anyway!
I figured that one out before
I read your post. Dah!!! Oh well, we are all entitled to a brain holiday, right?
I figured it out...
The NCH website has converter software that I downloaded. Works great. thanks to all who helped.
I figured it was the same because I am
able to read between the lines and saw on the Main and the Company posting the same time. People are running scared from VR and thus the question above which I consider legit.
how is this positive?
Is that if we're offered up sh@t, we're supposed to eat it, because it could be worse? Nice attitude.
well, I'm not positive but...sm
I don't think you can use any other Expander with DQS. An expander does what DQS does...when you type tp and DQS gives you the patient (if that's one you use)...I used Smart Type b4 (which is still my short cut for before!!) and LOVED it. It took me a long time to get production back up with DQS...but I was never as fast as you--2000 lines! wow 
You positive that's what it was? sm
If you're sure it was a panic attack, then I wouldn't go to the doctor. But if not absolutely sure, it could be something serious.
Extra stressors? How old are you (if you don't mind my asking!). Typical age is 30s. Lots of info easily found online.
As others said, the bag works for hyperventilating. Re-breathe the air from the bag.
Hope you feel better. No insurance sucks. I'm right there with you.
It was positive! sm
Congratulations! You will be in my prayers! 
Think positive (sm)
When you say about going to counseling and state "but I feel it is not going to help" is not starting off in a good direction. Go to counseling with an open heart. Tell youself that it WILL work. Tell yourself that the counselor is going to help both of you see new ways to handle life.
Not knowing your husband's mental health issue, it's hard to put a finger on that. I'm saying it sounds like he's depressed? If he's not working due to this mental health issue, that's probably a nice slap on the ego as well.
With regard to getting help, ask him to come help you do whatever. I used to do the same thing, do everything while DH sat on his behind. We went for counseling and I let it be known at that point that I wanted a partner, not another kid. I wanted a partner in all aspects of our marriage; 50/50 marital, 50/50 in parenting, 50/50 in house keeping. We then went from there and figured out how to help this out. I told the counselor I felt like I was expected to do everything. He was kind of surprised to hear me say that. After that, we all started doing our own laundry, even him!!! He does his own work clothes too.
I'm going to bet that if your husband can feel like he's contributing more, maybe he'll feel better and start taking better care of himself. I know back in the day when I was depressed and feeling the world upon my shoulders, looking nice was the last thing on my mind.
Something positive
Yesterday I went to my daughter's school to have lunch. This was the first time the school did this so it was very disorganized and the schedule was running an hour behind. There were all of these moms fretting because they had to get back to work, and some even had to leave before they were able to participate. Seeing this made me very happy to be an MT (IC) because I didn't have to worry about getting back to work right away and got to enjoy the time without the anxiety of what kind of trouble I would be in with the boss.
I know we all have complaints and things that are not fair in this profession, but that is one huge benefit that I am more than happy to take.
Try to be positive sm
You have a great educational background. I met people along the way who could not spell diarrhea correctly. You may be able to help a large dental facility such as Tufts-NE in Boston or a service a large facility contracts their work to. You could start slow, gain confidence. You will definitely not make money at first, but if you want to stay home with your child, think of the costs you will eliminate and the pleasure you will gain by just being home. Don't be discouraged. Where there is a will, there is a way. Perhaps someone will direct you to some SUM program tapes, etc. and you could slowly build up your word book dictionaries by buying used. I started out buying books from the Salvation Army as I live near a large prestigious university. People tried to discourage me as well, but I learned fast and furious as I had a good education and a good head on my shoulders. Don't give up! Good luck!
Pooling--how is this figured out?
Day to day how to companies/managers figure out what pool to put you into?
Surprised you just figured this out.
Not trying to be nasty or anything, I just thought it has been broadcast so many times. The people of means (AKA - the ones who worked) left the city when the evacuation order went out. The others had to stay there and rely on the mayor who would not take them out in school buses, he wanted air conditioned Greyhounds. Please, give me a break. His head ought to roll with Michael Brown's, AND the governor's.
i've figured it out myself :-)
:-)
never mind figured out.
I figured doing this for 10+ years I could
Sidestep into an editing position for a magazine or something similar, since the MT business seems to be going downhill, and also since I do write as a hobby. I have short stories, journals, poetry, but all personal things, I don't know if that could be a part of my resume or not. There are many positions out there, you'd be surprised. Also the pay is great to start for an editor. You do have a point about degrees. I think kids are pushed into college at an early age, not experiencing life or knowing what they want, and end up spending thousands on a degree in which they do not pursue or are unhappy in. I have an aquaintance who went to school and got a degree in social work and she is now an accountant. Seems like a waste of mom and dads money. I'm glad I waited to go get my degree even though its really hard going to school at my age, but there is no doubt in my mind that a psych degree is right for me.
Well those of us that have figured it out know your game :)
At least I know enough to offer to make my husband a sandwich when he's looking through the new truck section in the paper.
Works every time. 
I figured you must be worried....sm
I know you're worried and I don't even know you. However, knowing insurance, if you go before the insurance kicks in, they (the insurance after it kicks in) will see this as a preexisting condition and may not cover future treatment. IF you can wait 12 days (because even if it was serious, and it may not be serious, 12 days won't make any difference, outside of possibly allaying your fears). 12 days will gallop by!!! I feel bad for you because you're anxious and I'm the same way about these things. Hope you do well !!!!!
never mind, got it figured out! nm

I figured Cirie would go far-sm
I like seeing someone who is not terribly athletic be in the final 2. Terry is competetive and athletic but his sensitivity chip is absent. Shane was a character and made it interesting to watch. Loved seeing him with his son. They'll be fine. Why hasn't Aras stepped up and won any challenges? Strategy? Or just not capable?
I figured you were Carly... sm
 You are in this profession for the right reasons in my opinion. Keep up the good work, and you know what? Good things will come your way, I promise you that!
See I figured you had a backbone.
Now use it. Quit letting people push you around especially the MTSO you work for. Can you say "scape goat". That prior remark that I made was a test. You PASSED with flying colors. I wanted to see if you would reply to me, and you did! Now apply that response you gave me to your "don't feel like lookin' nuffin ups"!!!!!! Then you'll have more time to "dream in Cali"!!!!  100 wpm is great, and it sounds like you have a lot to offer! Keep up the good work, but just don't do it for free! Hope you're not mad at me..... 
figured it out and learned something new,....
thanks everyone...this has taken me forever to just get one thing done...thanks.
Hey, got it figured and fixed!
I went to the Nuance/Dictaphone web site and looked at their information base and lo and behold, there was the problem and solution. Apparently it's common with Windows XP or 2000 and they recommend a particular file download, DPVoicer1132.exe. I did that and ran it and after rebooting, problem fixed!
Thought maybe an update might help someone doing a search on here in the future.
figured he would understand
Since he is a doctor and a dictator, I thought he would respect and appreciate the work I am doing. Instead, he seems to recent that I am staying home, working more hours and making less money. It just does not make sense to him at all. So, it makes me wonder, am I the one who is crazy for doing this to myself? I do work all day, 12-15 hours since I have 2 companies, but I just love it. He seems to think I am just addicted to the computer.
Sort of figured as much...
Heard some horror stories much like you describe. Thank you anyway.
figured it was a hot topic
just wasn't sure. any other "secrets" I should know about?
That's what I figured. Thanks! (nmsg)
xx
Yes, that's what I figured, and I agree.
However, the post you were responding to was about a scam artist. I was guessing you didn't know what they were talking about, and that's why I explained it.
lol. I figured my fingers
got all jumbled up and I somehow did it to myself. It would be quite a coincidence if we both jumbled up the same way at the same time, I think. Maybe we can get some help from the site administrators.
They probably figured you'd cost too much and
these companies surely do not want to offer anything a USA MT is worth. And they probably would rather insult you by failing you on the test, than your insulting them by refusing their low offer. A lot of us oldies with great quality get the same treatment. Or they say we are prima donnas or something, which really means we are not suckers. LOL.
Thanks, just took a closer look and figured -sm
it out, boy do I feel like a dope, been using this for years since it first came out, actually tested it for them, but just thought you were stuck in that 34 char. phrase box. Guess I need to learn how to READ. Well I am glad to learn something new, and it will help me be a little faster in the future, thanks!
I figured it out....So nevermind
I feel really stupid, but I was checking online to find a resolution to my problem and found a reminder to make sure the box is checked to expand quickwords when you type them. How that box got unchecked I don't know, but anyway, problem solved!
Figured it out - sorta
Well for anyone else dealing with this "hot mess" :)
I believe the test file is somehow in review mode instead of transcription mode because the instructions given me by company correspond to review. But if you just hit the play pedal and tap the backspace pedal at same time, it backspaces incrementally. I never found out how to program it, but this works for now for testing.
Nevermind - I figured it out.. nm

You actually get POSITIVE feedback
nm
Positive things!
Okay, I'm with ya here. I really need to start focusing on the positives in my life instead of the negatives. This is a fantastic way for me to start.
Let's see now. I'm a recently divorced (YIPPEE - put that off for ten years!!) mother of 2. Although it can be isolating working at home sometimes, I wouldn't trade it for anything!! I make twice (sometimes three times) as much as I would per hour in a hospital. I don't have to pay for day care - EVER.
Oh, and since I make so much, I was able to keep the house (my ex couldn't ever afford it). I'm proud to say I have not had to borrow ONE PENNY from anyone through my divorce, I did it all on my own!
I can always be worse, I'm trying to be positive
You could be one of those in New Orleans, then would the pay cut mean anything to you? You would be happy to be alive. Why is it that only what affects us personally matters? This is what is wrong with society. My husband took a 25% pay cut a year ago, now the company he works for is bankrupt, slated to shut down in 9 days. He has worked there for 35 years. Be thankful you have a job, or get a new one.
A positive pause...please sm
Just wanted to share a link with anyone who could use a little positivity today...it's truly worth it
http://www.greatday.com
Peace...out.
need positive thoughts
whether you have insurance or not, if you continue to experience chest pain, go to the nearest ER. I am a 42 year old who had to have a stent due to a 95% blockage. It is better to be alive than worried you will look silly.
Thank you for the positive thoughts.
I do have a little small something that might eventually need surgery, but it's not cancer. This doctor was very nice and didn't treat me like I was a hypochondriac.
I'm positive - maybe if I "google" it (sm)
