Steve Irwin
I just heard myself. It's so sad. So young and with a young family. My prayers are with his whole family.
May you R.I.P. Steve Irwin!!! nm

Steve Irwin
This was so sad. I cried a river. I couldn't believe how strong his little girl Bindi was when she gave her speech. I think she's going to grow up to be an outstanding human being and hopefully she will carry on her dad's great work in conservation.
Steve Irwin 'Crocodile Hunter' has died. May God comfort
his father, sister, wife, children, friends, and fans during this tragic time.
Mr. Irwin was filming a documentary when he was pierced in the chest by a stingray barb.
IRS created the new SE definition and
then felt it was being abused. They then noticed how large the MT industry was and decided that would be where they would focus their efforts to decide whether to keep the status or do away with it. In order to find out that information, they had to start doing audits if the "SE" box on your W2 was marked. I hired a tax person to help me but his efforts were fruitless. One day after faxing back and forth and writing back and forth, I got on the phone and held for almost 5 hours until I got someone in the department created for consumer complaint resolution. I was amazed to find myself talking to someone who was intelligent! They saw what the problem was, saw that all the documentation was in place and negated all activity by clicking a few keys on his computer. I had owed about $2000 that year but had already paid it as it was a retroactive audit, so I was lucky with how things worked out.
I was just wondering if anyone else had problems. I've chosen to never again have SE status so as not to have lightening strike again!
If this was on a template that you had created--sm
or if it was sent to you, you can open the template, change the view percent, save the document that way, and it should reopen in the new view percent.
In case anyone is interested, 20/20 tomorrow night at 10 EST will have Teri Irwin (Steve's widow)
who will be interviewed for the first time since Steve's death. I think this will be an interesting and sad segment. I know a lot of people here adored Steve and want to know how she and the children are doing. Just thought I'd let everyone know!
Nursing has created their own shortage
by severely restricting the availability of classes for students and refusing to make the class time available in the evenings, weekends, etc.
They also created their own shortage by making so many of the jobs papershuffling jobs rather than hands on care, and many of those jobs could easily be filled by a trained technician rather than an RN.
I do not feel sorry for nurses.
Not all QA people are created equal
If you absolutely love it, you really must have an aptitude for the job. Many of the QA people were once MTs themselves and could not keep up the pace nor did they have the necessary aptitude it takes so they became QA. So you are dealing with this scenario. Think about it.
Not all jobs are created equally either.
I won't work for the big nationals. They always wind up sticking me on ESL and difficult specialties that "nobody else can do," bouncing from account to account for coverage, several pools of hundreds of dictators, can't use your Expander much because you never hear the same dictator twice, every work type, look up addresses and patient demos. It's all about what *I* can do for them, not what *I* need to earn to support my family. Forget that! Why should I work harder for a cut in pay?
Reminder: Croc Hunter fans, watch Steve Irwin's Memorial filmed
Reminder: Croc Hunter fans, watch Steve Irwin's Memorial filmed at his Australia Zoo's Crocoseum tonight on Animal Planet. The memorial is commercial free and airs from 9 to 10 PM ET/PT tonight and then an encore will air at 12 to 1 AM ET/PT. If you are a fan of our beloved Steve Irwin, make sure to have a DVD or VCR tape ready to record!

MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER
Great! Created a heading format, now want to
have the cursor start at the beginning of the first heading, can that be done within the autotext?
Wow .. $149!! It says it was created for ipod users -- is the cord sm
long enough to go to your computer, or did you have to get some kind of extension device? They sound great ... just not sure if cheap ol' me is ready for fork out that kinda cash. 
...do an incorrect word or even pull up something already created...nm

With shortcuts, the important thing is that they are created with - sm
a system that is consistent, and that you can remember easily. It's generally not a good idea to try to incorporate someone else's shortcuts (though I appreciate the chance to look at them, as sometimes they can give me ideas for one's I've not yet used :-) for that reason, and these don't seem to follow a very consistent method.
I had created a huge dictionary in my expander too...sm
But I was still a butterfingers! Just lack of fine motor skills, I suppose. Couldn't have made it without my word expander.
I remember when we typed on IBM Selectric typewrites and EVERY single word had to be typed out. Geez, what a bore!
Religion is an outdated notion created centuries ago
and has no place in today's society.
Can an expander be created in Shorthand while typing the document?
Or do you have to get out of the document and make up the expansions? When you download it from the website, do you get any instructions along with the program? Any other info would be appreciated.
Not all 8 cents a line situations are created equal sm
I am coming off a job using Extext and going into one using ChartNet. I have used Smart Type for over a decade and for Chartnet I have to go to Instant Text. I am able to do over 200 lines an hour after about a week at the new job. I will get to 300 again in a month or so. I say again because I have not done that much in a long time.
Extext...I loved it when I first used it, but after 18 months I can't get above 170 lph and that is with echoes and normals with lots of free lines, and that includes dozens of normals and report shells I have made myself. It won't get better and that is poor pay at the 8.5 cpl base rate, but then again I always have bonuses of a couple of kinds and shift differentials...but I can't do better than 1200 lines a day with any consistency, not in 8 hours a day.
I work a job in MedRite. Like Extext, it is a Word client and rather similar. Top rate for MedRite is close to 300 lines an hour on a horrid account with 80% PLUS ESLs. It is just a faster platform.
Enter ChartNet...never used it. Had to switch to Instant Text...never used it. I have been working about 5 days on it and I can do 200 lph and only one doctor so far who throws me for a loop when I can't do that. She is not an ESL, but a slurring motor mouth who skips around and forgets what she is doing on the phone in the first place.
The Extext work has been 90% OP notes, my specialty. The others are all the basic 4, and I have to say that I went from clinic for many years to OP notes, skipping the rest in between. I have very little experience in DS, CN and H&P notes, VERY little time with those. I'd be faster with them if I had done more of them before.
Part of speed is the expander, part is the platform and part is you. It doesn't matter how great you are as a typist and how perfect your expander, if the platform isn't very good you can't make money at any line rate. If the platform is good, but you are not Expander savvy, you won't you make it either. You can, however, be like me and a poor typist with a great expander and a decent platform...and STILL make money. LOL
In MY experience, the largest problem with making more money is the expander GLOSSARY, not which program you choose. I have heard some of the craziest stories about how to use an expander while on this board...ridiculous, wonky, time wasting, counter intuitive toro pu pu!!!! If you are struggling with an expander FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME. I am happy to spend my time helping anyone who will genuinely give my methods a shot.
