Ohhhh...that pink??!!! Hmmmm....throw rugs, throw rugs, throw rugs!!!
LOLOL
Sleep dictating and eating cheetos at 3 a.m.-- I LOVE IT.
LOL 
But I DON'T like having to transcribe it. 
LOLOL!
It's funny you say that, because my husband pointed out that his ear looked jaundiced. The lobe of his year was completely yellow. Did anyone else see this? Besides that though, I didn't think he looked that bad!
LOLOL
That is so funny. Poor "Wife"--whoever she was!!!
LOLOL!!!! :D :D nm

LOLOL - AGREED
LOLOL--YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!

New mow floor wax?
This doesn't sound like medical words....any ideas?
Floor damage
I know a lady who sold flooring for years. She advised me never to use rugs with rubber backing on vinyl (sp?) floors for just this reason. We never went into how to repair the damage if it happened, though. You might try calling someplace that sells and installs floors.
med-surg floor
Medical-Surgical floor. The hospitals I worked when I was working in a laboratory would have it as Medical-Surgical Unit/floor.
Picking my jaw up off the floor
I thought Chris would win it all! :(
ok, got it - you were on floor laughing *LOL.nm
Oh man! I'm rolling on the floor here! Tooooooooo
funny!!!! Isn't that the truth though about the name spelling? I have one that says, "Last name is Doe. Now let me spell that for you, D-O-E," but if the last name is Tatarczuk, you should be able to figure that one out on your own.
I have one that actually takes time out once in a while to spell a medication and he screws it up every single time. He's very condescending and his attitude is like, "Here little uneducated typist, this is how you spell doxicyclene."
I should keep a log of is misspellings just for giggles, but who has time?
Thanks everyone, now that I look more at the floor, its a vinyl I guess -sm
so linoleum was probably the wrong way to describe it. Just hoping I can clean it so in the future whenever we sell (in a few years) we won't have to put in a new floor....will use tile next time though so I don't have this same problem. Another alternative is to cover the whole floor with the rugs and make it one uniform stain (then no one would know!).
As soon as I pick my head up off the floor,
I will tell you that I agree about momentary help, but not lifelong help due to dumb choices. Maybe you could sign up for a free govt anger management class. As for the money spent in "stupid Iraq", just wait till you see what this country is like after Islamofascists turn it into another middle eastern country, complete with daily suicide bombers and a dictator rule. You may not live along enough to see it, but that's their goal. Count on it. Being nice won't make those nuts go away. It didn't work with Hitler and it won't work with these sickos either.
med-surg floor. It's not a proper name. NM

But the paper would be stuck to the floor. . .
because someone spilled Kool Aid and didn't bother to wipe it up.
Red Kool Aid.
My cat sits on the floor right next to my chair
staring up right at my face, sometimes for hours, and if I don't realize she's there she will meow. How annoying is that! She loves to play and fetches her toy mice and brings them back like a dog. So I think maybe she wants to play but I can't get it through to her that mommy is working and I feel bad! :) Any pet psychologists out there? Help! lol!
Laying down on the floor with my feet on the

stained bathroom floor/IDEA
I had a similar situation with my "old" tile and a rug staining it.
I sprinkled Oxiclean/hot water mixture over a small part, then sprayed it again with very warm water...waited 10 minutes, went back in and the stain was very easily wiped away. Hope it helps on yours.
I only use the good ol Oxi with 5% carpet shampoo and you've never seen carpets cleaner  ..Hope this works for you.
I operate the joystick with my foot if it is on the floor...
If I am reclined, then I can still do it with my feet by placing the controller between both feet and using either to hit the joystick. I personally do not use rewind or fast forward ( I just use the auto backspace), but you can use the other buttons on the controller as fast forward and rewind.
thats all good in theory....calling the floor sm
getting the numbers, dialing into the system, etc. etc. In a perfect world! These docs are not going to do that.
MTSOs are hired to provide a service. They do whatever they have to do to provide that service. I have also had the experience you have had working in the hospital system where turnaround was never met by the MTSOs. MTSOs were hired because turnaround was never met by the hospital either.
Do you ever wonder that these problems with turnaround both on the hospital side and the MTSO side is one reason that outsourcing got started???? Please don't flame me for that statement but I guess if the MTSOs are not going to be able to keep up with turnaround then they have to do whatever they need to do to stay in business. I don't agree with it and I wish it were outlawed, but its just food for thought.
Calling in on the weekend and listening to a dictation may work in a smaller hospital, but I don't think its a very good solution for a huge major medical center, at least not for very long.
From what I see on this board it's ok to bash those of us who ARE flexible and make it work. But it is not "politically correct" for us to say anything about the folks who want to work for MTSOs and not facilities, but don't want to be very flexible in their working hours. Just an observation.
A little 3in1 oil or WD40 might help, too. But protect the floor/carpet underneath until the oil has

My E key keeps falling off!
I have worked in quite a few hotel rooms also. In fact, I would not consider one job recently because they could not guarantee an internet platform but were still using phone lines for some accounts.
The Sky is Falling
Please read my post (Slave Wages). As I explained Medquist is paying 5 cpl with voice recognition. Even if one were to produce 10,000/week or 200 lines/day, that would not be enough to live off, especially for a person like me with a daughter. You can laugh it off. Remember they did the same thing to Noah. Keep lowering your prices until you are at 1 cent per job. It will be the best for everybody!!
that sky has been falling since the 80s -
and it hasn't caved yet. Not going to happen - not TOTALLY.
But a backup might be right for you.
Falling asleep...
I don't even need the alarm. I put my head back on the "cushy" part of the chair, tell myself "okay, I need 5 minutes," and I'm out like a light and will wake up 5-6 minutes later! I think the sheer boredom of what we do has a hypnotic effect on some of us and causes this. But you're right, when you wake up you're okay for awhile until the next time, whether it's 1 hour later or 4 or whatever. Glad I'm not the only one.
falling wages...
Unfortuntely, it is true, falling wages for MTs and experience plays not part in it. But, there is a reason for it....as we all are aware, hospitals have chosen to cut their debt by outsourcing medical transcription to India for 1/4 the cost it would be to pay us here in the states. Let's face it...MT jobs here in the states will soon be absolete, and thinking about the wages ever getting better, forget. My advise is for all MTs to seek another source of income before it is too late....i.e. perhaps going back to school or seeking one of the higher paying jobs or at least equal to medical transcription such as Walmarts, Meijers, restaurants, etc...and eh...even get medical benefits, vacation time, etc....I currently receive none of that from my employer and was also told to take a pay decrease as of this 12/02...along with everyone else, so was paying us 10 cents per line, but little trick to that, lines are 70 characters per line with spaces included....everyone does 65 characters with spaces...now from 10 cents to 9 cents and 70 characters per line...hmmmm, I figure I am making 8 cents a line now. Yes indeed, I am out of transcription after 25 years coming this income tax refund check. Transcription has become a degrading job!
Falling off trampoline
They don't have to fall the trampoline to get hurt. They break bones, twist muscles, tendons, on impact with the trampoline. If they hit the coils that hold the trampoline onto the frame and the coil comes loose, they can suffer puncture wounds to the eyes or other parts of their body.
People need to teach safety measures to their kids when they are on a trampoline and never leave them unsupervised on it. It can be fatal.
I am just not worried about VR, EMR, the sky falling and on and on
If the entire medical field goes kerplunk, all you can do is pick yourself off, get another job really fast and heave ho. What else? I have had 2 jobs pulled out from underneath me and I am still here. You can make it also. No use in worrying. I lost a very profitable job to outsourcing years ago and now don’t worry about the fate of Mting.
falling asleep
Yes. I have it also, but mine is a health issue due to not sleeping post laminectomy syndrome. I have found that eating hot chips and/or eating crushed ice really helps. Above all since you are healthy, agree with the others see a doc. Hope this helps in the meantime.
Got floor model of chair that was perfect fit. Final mark down was $40. Went got home saw original
:P
Yep. I was falling asleep sitting up.
I went to the neurologist, and he put me on Provigil. Works pretty good. I'm also switching to an earlier work shift.
My snowflakes are just little falling x's today. Is it just me? nm
5-year marriage falling apart
I need some very serious advice. I have been thinking of leaving my husband for the last year and it is only getting worse. I am so unhappy and don't see it getting any better. He is a great father (we have a 4-year-old), but he has a very limited relationship with my 11-year-old. His real father lives states away and has just recently decided to be somewhat a part of his life. It breaks my heart when my son tries with my husband and he gives a half-hearted attempt or barely acknowledes my son and then pays all this attention to my daughter. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I basically do everything by myself with the kids, he dislikes my family (I'm not very fond either, but hey, they are my family) so I usually attend family functions on my own w/ the kids.
I think we should at least try marriage counseling and take it from there. I am only giving this another 6-12 months though. I deserve a husband who accepts me for me and helps me clean because he realizes I need help, not becuase he can't stand the mess anymore. My son deserves a loving, caring step-dad who will take him fishing or practice baseball with him. Am I making the right choice? When do you know it is the right time to move on? I am so scared. The biggest factor will be raising 2 kids on my own. I am making squat right now.
I need some advice. Mom's not home and I am ready to cry my eyes out.
I made the mistake of falling for that
pitch in 2004 when I applied at TRS. When I left one month later because they kept running out of work and bouncing me around, I learned to disregard any endorsements.
As it was later explained to me, the award is based on employee votes. Depending on how many people vote, it can be determined by just a handful of people. Hardly a ringing endorsement...
Falling asleep at the keyboard
I wondered if anyone has any tips for me. I have been an MT going on six years. Suddenly, whenever I am typing, I am drifting off to sleep (and somehow still typing?). I have tried background noise, getting up and stretching, walking, drinking, eating so much I've gained weight, nothing works! As soon as I start typing, I relax and can't hold my eyes open. Finally, I take a nap but my line count is really taking a hit. This has gone on for several months. I do not believe it is a health issue - I have always been healthy as a horse. I think it is bordom or lack of mental challenge? I really can't see myself moving on to another career. Help! I need to stay awake! Anyone else have this problem?
falling asleep at the keyboard
Actually, I do. If I am a passenger I cannot stay awake. If I am driving, I realize I am halfway where I am going and cannot remember anything leading up to that point (such as lights, stop signs) like I am on autopilot. Maybe I should see a doctor. I appreciate all the responses.
not about sex, about falling in love with a person's spirit
He can still procreate with any woman, but if he feels urges towards men, well thats nature.
I only relisten if I was falling asleep while typing. -nm

Heavens no, but in this business the pay is falling as we speak
I have been outsourced twice, once in 90 making almost 60 thousand a year to a 20 thousand dollar decrease for another job and then outsourced again to VR. I used to work extra, overtime, etc. but now I NO LONGER HAVE TO. I can hit over $20.00 per hour, only working part-time, my choice and if other people want to do differently, that is them. I owe no one anything and I do not work harder, if anything easier for me, I love it, I am happy. It may not be for everyone but I don't have to worry about where my next check coming from like in the past. If others do not want to do, let them choose otherwise. The VR I do is an excellent platform, most have very little editing to them and others should get out of MTing if they think they will not be able to afford to make a living doing it.
Love the snow flakes falling on this page!

Sorry, not falling for your lame attempt at a playground brawl.
Your life sounds quite gratifying (not)!
LMAO!
You're welcome, thought to be fun. Will be adding falling snowflakes and
