He gave the date and then said, "Oh and by the way it's my big day today.  #50!  Lucky me!"  Then he said, "Oh and, by the way, you don't need to include that in this report."  He laughed.  Like I was going to.  It's nice to get a funny once in a while. 

I've never had a problem with a dictator saying, "transcriptionist, typist, operator, etc"  They don't understand how the phone system works and that I'm 3000 miles away and not the the Transcriptionist that they used to know by name that worked in the office every day.  They probably feel the same way I do when I get a good dictator that I really like and the dictator says, "Good Morning!" and you can''t say good morning back because they are just a voice out there somewhere.

   Good thing I proofread!  Otherwise, the report I just finished would've gone through saying,  "There is snotty anterior cervical lymphadenopathy."   

The mental picture I got was of some lumps on the patient's neck which had human faces, all of which had upturned noses and haughty, snobbish expressions! 

I think this job is starting to get to me ----------------  

my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away!  I checked and the Type It button is grayed out!  I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies.  Can anyone please help me ASAP?  I am lost without it!  TIA

But this article states it would only affect new customers right now.  So I am upset over nothing.  I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge.  I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me.  It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc.  It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.

I don't think I'd make it down south.  We had high 90s with humidity for 16 days straight and that was bad enough.  Glad it is cool again. 

e-mail because of the high prices and this a national boycott. Wondering if anyone else received or heard this.

Just did 1343 lines in 170 minutes but that includes printing, 24 envelopes, looking up names, getting on here three times, doing 3 E-mails to my subcontractor -- at 0.11 per gross line.  So I am happy today.

DOCTOR:  "Please send a CC to her primary care physician.  I do not know who that is, but send him or her a copy anyway."

No other reports exist for this patient.

Yes, in my spare time I'm a psychic! 

Recently I had to do a lot of paperwork to enroll my youngest in kindergarten for the 2007-2008 school year.  They ask all sorts of questions about family history and specifically who has diabetes, heart disease, blindness, etc.  Does this not violate the HIPAA laws?  Do I have permission to disclose my grandmother’s health problems to the school?  Or my mother’s and father’s?  I never really thought about it when I enrolled my older child because I wasn’t a MT at the time and I never really had knowledge about HIPAA in those days.  What do you all think about this? 

Living paycheck to paycheck these days with the cost of living  being so hight and DH being on disability.  Today I get my check in the mail – national company—and it does not have a signature on it!  I called the office – of course the payroll department had left for the day – it was only 3 something in the afternoon.  I was told to physically mail the check back to be signed and they would return it right away.  Why not just cut me a new check and mail overnight?  Really sick of this place lately.  Never did get any resolution of the 60 odd lines I was cheated out of before only weeks ago.  Lost a few days work over the last week because the system crashed.  *Sigh* I just started a new job on the side.  Hope this one has a better track record. 

do want me to start out PT and then after a time, a month or so, would bring me on board full time, if all goes well.  This will be at $15.00/hr.  I'm excited--this is not what a lot of you make, I'm sure, but it's more (consistently) per hour than I've ever made before.  Keeping my fingers crossed it will work out!

Thanks for the replies!

Why would you give someone a written warning after a few weeks... I'm new and I do not understand the dictators on some of the accounts, oh and lets add those are the ones they seem to audit...

Anyway I have an IC job with Accustat who is a nice company and I've been off QA for 3 months without any problems

salt mines!
