I'm glad I did.  I haven't had any problems other than the dry eye syndrome, so I use artificial tears every day.  I had both eyes corrected but the right eye regressed leaving me with mono-vision, so I didn't need glasses to drive or to read. By now though I do need reading glasses.

sitting in a metal folding chair at a folding banquet table, banging away on a Selectric in a room full of smokers. This was a service that would UPS cassette tapes out to your home when you started working from home. Obviously this was 25 years ago. After two weeks, the owner let me go and told me he couldn't make money off of me, even at $5/hour. But then I applied at the hospital for a radiology transcription position (because now I had experience!) and they hired me because I was the only one who would work on Saturdays. When I consider what I had to go through to break into the field, makes me laugh when I see newbies fresh out of school with no experience asking for 6 cents a line to work from home...I guess just understand you do what you have to do to break into the field. That goes for every job that is hard to get into.

Bought a desktop and a laptop a month ago.  The desktop had a problem with the CD drive not opening.  I called Dell and they promptly handled the situation.  The repair person called my home the following day to schedule an appointment.  He showed up on time, picked up after himself, etc.  Very polite and very professional. 

My only complaints so far:  being on hold for 40 minutes before talking with a Customer Service rep and the young man I spoke with when my call finally was answered.  Where he was from -- I don't know, but he had a very thick accent and with my southern twang ears, he was quite difficult to understand.

service is TERRIBLE.  Can't understand us.  I had to keep repeating my questions, still they did not seem to understand English.  I will never, never, never buy a Dell product again.  I just got it yesterday.  The computer is okay, but the service is the pits.  They have such strong accents, didn't understand me, I had to keep repeating my sentences, talking very slowly.  They also were hard to understand.  I want to write Dell corporate and complain, but can't even find a place that is not in India to complain to. 

After this experience, I am totally not worried about transcription going to India.  The quality must be so bad, after what I experienced, it will eventually come back.  Any company that outsources, the reports must be very poor quality.

A Holmes Family Safe Portable Heater, mostly because it's kid-friendly.  So far so good.  If my house burns down, though, I'll let you know :)  j/k  It had a lot of good features and keeps my bedroom toasty, which is probably a bit bigger than your office.

Straight from AAMT in the shrink-wrap (I got a discount through my employer)..

I don't call it a typo when they refer to it wrong twice, as they do in this instance.  I call it a mistake!  And it makes me lose confidence in the rest of the book, as well as lose respect for the authors.

If people find it amusing - WHY?  I don't think its acceptable to just expect typos in every book you buy, because I know darn well people are PAID to edit copy before its published, and someone wasn't doing their job!  With fiction I can snort with disgust and move on.  But professional books should be accureate, considering it was written BY AND FOR an entire industry based on inherentt perfectionism regarding the written word and terminology! 

I was forced to buy this book to supposedly hone MY skills, only to find THEIR skills are lacking.  This is the supposed bible of our industry!  I am referred to this book a zillion times in my company standards.  And if I cannot rely on it for accuracy, why yes, I am angry.  If you want to see me as a nutcase, that's your prerogative. 

I posted this oriiginally so people could mark this error in their book instead of perhaps putting the BOS spelling n their spell checker, and get penalized for repeated errors as a result.  I was hoping others might post any additional errors they had found in this publication, and we could help one another in this respect.  Perhaps someone might take this post seriously enough to do so, and if they do, I appreciate it.
