I saw HOWIE last night on a late night episode of Blind Date. too funny.
I'm thinking if they are smart they'll boot Rachel.  I think she's really smart and a good player.  I don't think Howie is all that smart or able to be a winner.  I think this could force Howie to hook up with James to go for the final 2.
required profiles, etc. that are unpaid. NMSG

Treadmill is best for losing fat, done in the morning before breakfast. sm
If you do it before you eat, you will burn fat instead of glycogen. This may take a bit of getting used to at first, but it also makes your day go better because once your body gets use to it, it provides a lot of energy. Do this every other day for about 30-45 minutes, but no more than that.

Everybody has a sixpack - just a matter of getting down to it.


Breakfast...bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy!

In the kitchen having breakfast. Turned on the TV and Charlie Gibson was on
when it was after 9:00. The first building was smoking behind him and he was describing it, not yet realizing what was going on. Then the second plane glided into view, and thinking it was a small observation plane, I said - "Get back, you idi*t, you're too close!" Then it hit, of course, and Charlie processed it in his brain and announced what I couldn't get my mind around: "Then this was no accident."
Breakfast at Tiffany's, Rebecca, Wuthering Heights -- I really should come into the present but I
just love all of the old movies so much more than the new stuff, although some of it is okay.  For current I would have to say Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man and Gladiator, cause I just think Russell Crowe is a wonderful actor, although not too sure of his true personality.
It's taco night! (again.....) We had taco pizza last night, southwestern chicken soup before th
Maybe I'll just have a salad.
Breakfast sausage in white gravy over canned biscuits... MMMmmm! Biskits and gravy!

My Pick

Sade's "By Your Side".


Its a very unique sounding and lovely song.


Pick up
LOL! Good for you!
Thank you so much! I will pick up one of these. nm
.
Which would you pick?

Forty-five minutes was or were spent with the patient.


The patient is a 46-year-old patient of Dr. Smith or Smith's with stage IV breast carcinoma 


Unless you have a job where you can pick
and choose, I would never presume to ask to be off an account or a particular doctor because I can't understand him. I personally have a doctor that when I see his name I cringe, because I absolutely have a horrific time with. He is just one of the hundreds of doctors at this facility though. I just do the best I can and the more I have him, the easier (although slow) he is getting. That is all part of the job in my opinion, you take the good with the bad.
How can you cherry pick on MQ DQS?
How do you get info on whether hospital complains or not about cherry picking?  How do you figure an office is closed because of cherry picking.  My office is far away from where I live.  My managers are just names.  I don't know them.  They live in other parts of the country also, far away from the home office.  I know nothing about who is doing what nor correspondence from the hospital to the manager or why MQ closes offices (I was told this is an economical measure since most managers are working out of their homes as well.) How do you come across all of your information regarding the inner workings of MQ and who is cherry picking and how?
you can't cherry pick....

Well you see, you stated right in your post that you can't possibly cherry pick...so what do you know about what is going on with the rest of us out here who DO have to deal with cherry pickers. 


Don't know what you make per line but getting about 666 lines per hour is quite astounding.  I'm sure you must be quite happy where you are and with no cherry pickers!  Good for you.  I've been an acute care MT for over 30 years and am rated as one of the best as far as QA and quantity and have NEVER, EVER in my life been able to come close to your line count.  Maybe you are from another planet and have powers beyond us or maybe you have some special secret you could share.  Or maybe, we should just ignore your statement of getting that kind of line count, especially when you are not dealing with cherry pickers.  


Pick Transcend
You'll like it.  Great company.  Great platform designed for us specifically.  Pay is good, always on time.  No problems.  I love it!
Yes, I do cherry pick...
but very infrequently and only if I think somebody else would do a better job of transcribing a particular dictator - all of us on my account do it to a minimal extent and no one is bothered by it - sometimes U feel like a nut, sometimes U don't...
dropping everything you pick up...
and my favorite, the old juggling act: and now folks for my next trick, I will type for 15 minutes, answer the phone, fold a load of laundry, run to the bathroom, do up a coupla dishes on the way back, sit back down to type another 15 minutes, only to be interrupted as you just get going again...

gotta love it!
Oh, no way, after this I'm done for this year. It's a lot to go and pick and buy for
Christmas Angels, pack and ship, shooey, I'm POOPED! 
Sometimes I wish I could cherry pick

I work with a program that will not allow you to cherry pick. If you try to dump the job, it comes right back to you.


It's a good thing though. I have learned a lot of foreign accents and have put up with mumblers, pausers, stutterers and horrid background noises, but I can do it all.


When the companies the cherry pickers work for downsize or go to VR (voice recognition) the good MTs will be working and the cherry pickers will be saying, "Do you want fries with that?


me too.. nit pick it so that it is hiliarious
Seems its a no-win situation with my QA...and I think they know I have 30+ yrs experience, so they are out to prove "something or anything" on my reports. It's absolutely ridiculous. And you call them on it, then you get "the account wants it that way"... oh boy!
It's my birthday, DH says I get to pick where I want to eat.
Ohhhh, the possibilities!!!
Hands down, if I had to pick one, my best
resource for medical terms is The Surgical Word Book. Boy that book is awesome. For meds, Quick Look Drug Book is The One! Online, the only site I really frequent is Dr. 411. Now, most of my coworkers are going to know who I am, as I am always singing the praises of these!! Oh well. It won't be any surprise to them how miserable I am at work - we all are.
Poll: If you could only pick one.....

If you could only pick one each of a medical book and an online reference, which would you choose?  Mine would be Stedman's Medical Dictionary for the book and onelook.com for my online reference. 



I get one check DD. The other I have to pick up. sm

If that's not bad enough (even though the office is only 1 mile away), I have to drive another mile to my bank and they don't even have a drive thru teller.  They're located on the main street in town so I have to find a parking place.  Then I have to get out of the car.  Then I have to walk to the bank.  Then I have to walk inside and stand in line.


With my other employer I get up in the morning on pay day, log on to my online banking and there it is!


BUT. . . .there is nobody there to say hello and call me by my fist name and ask me how the kids are doing and whether or not I was having a good week, etc., which is nice even though I do have to change out of my jammies on pay day.



I was on my way to pick up tapes. nm

ppl but in it more for money. Pick one or the other.
s
Huh? I don't pick and choose and I certainly...

am not putting myself up on a pedestal.  I don't think a little pride in one's work is too much to ask.


And yes, right now I do have job security, but these horrible American MTs keep giving MTSOs directly and hospitals/physicians indirectly an excuse for offshoring because they can simply use the argument that it doesn't make much difference regarding quality.  So how much job security can I have and for how much longer?
