LOL - chill out!
Maybe it's time to check with your doctor. You're over-reacting a tad to a posting on an anonymous message board.
Thanks for the entertainment though. I needed a good chuckle today.
:)
CHILL out!!
 Geez. I agree that there are a lot of reality shows on TV the last few years which are ridiculously stupid. But, this one is different, in my opinion. These are people (at least the ones who make the finals) who have talent and are just out there doing their thing trying to get a recording contract. It's called......MUSIC!
Chill out, he said he was sorry, NM

and.. this was with 45-60 mph wind gusts

Spitting into the wind...SM
I usually don't get involved in these threads, but I'll go ahead and give it a try for once:
You're trying to battle the Information Revolution, immediate business profiteering, AND the need to provide needed medical services in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.
It's NOT going to work any more than denying the Industrial Revolution (or the Agricultural or Iron Ages) did for those who tried then, and yes, plenty did--long dead now, names not recorded.
Sorry, but best advice is accept inevitable change and invest your time and energy in changing with it. These are fascinating and exciting times. Enjoy!
Montana MT
I am from Billings, MT. If you are looking around here I would check Shepherd, Lockwood, or Laurel. If not looking around the Billings area I am afraid I cannot be much help. Good luck!
I don't get it. Are you from Montana or something?
Montana
I am in Montana also...Libby Montana since October. Used to be in Coos Bay OR
Are you in Montana now?
I am planning trip close by there later this summer, do not know if this where you live. i heard beautiful there. It is really hard for me to believe in the years you listed you had problems like that. I see we are being pushed off the side of the board but again sorry you have such bad vibes about where you lived.
Take a chill pill
they are only testing it right now in one city in Texas...
That should give you time to check out their competition :)
Wow---chill out everyone! OP said nothing against prayer or
it was allowed in a report.
It's no different than asking if typing someone "makes her money on her back" is appropriate. It's not the subject itself---it's whether or not it should be in a medical document because it's not medical. My answer is yes...if the doc dictates it then you put it in. There have been plenty of things over the years I would've left it, but you just put it in.
There's no reason for these attacks on her though...she didn't say anything was wrong with prayer. She didn't say she didn't tolerate anything Christian.
Everyone is WAY, WAY to defensive on this. She could very well be Christian herself, but you don't know that because she didn't say one way or another and didn't say it was good or bad.
I hear ya on that one!! I know that if I ever wind up in this hospital
I will get a copy of my medical records and sue the pants off of the hospital for incompetency in care and it will fall back on the outsource transcription company because of their mistakes. I know I can sue the doctor individually, but he didn't make the mistakes that could have killed me - the transcription service would be making the mistakes!! $$$
Tips for getting a second wind on third shift
I work a split shift, and the second part goes to 2 a.m. At about 11 p.m. or midnight, I hit the wall and I find that coffee or cola no longer works so well. I was wondering if anyone could please share some tips to stay alert. I need to learn how to get a second wind, but I also don't want to take so long a break that I am too tired to get back to work again... at that hour of the morning (after midnight), that would be really bad. 2 a.m. can be done, I just need and would so appreciate tips. Thanks for your help. Until then, I am going now to make coffee, though I am not sure how much that and the sugar in it will help right now!. Thanks again for your input.
Are there any Montana MTs on this board?
I want to move back there and am having a problem finding a place to rent in the country where I can keep my horse. I work for a national, so where I live wouldn't be a problem. Anybody on here from Montana?
why not try eastern montana
if you already work for a national why not go for eastern Montana renting or buying real estate is much cheaper and horse acres much easier to find
MT is abbreviation for Montana

Mensa, Montana??? Well, I would think . . .
if you were as brilliant as you profess to be, you would not feel the need to broadcast it on a public forum. Wouldn't your abundant intellect be satisfaction enough? Wouldn’t you just prefer to sit and marvel at yourself in the mirror or something? Why would you bother to come here and post among those who probably don’t even have the slightest inkling as to your enormous intelligence?
And, yes, modesty is a good thing to be, whether man or woman. With your massive brain power I would think you would have figured that out a long time ago.
(I posted something similar below, but I wanted to be sure MM didn't miss it). 
The company isn't in Montana
You can email me to get the name of the company though.
Response was to the Montana MT, not you.
Chill out ms. ???. If you can't be pleasant do us all a favor
and keep your hands off the keyboard. Why are so you so dang miserable anyway?
Chill. Personal attacks are not necessary. sm
I asked some thoughtful questions and you are questioning my right to be an MT. You don't know me. My work is excellent and I have many years of experience. If you don't want to answer a question, don't get personal. It isn't necessary.

Lots of wind, rain from Alberto -
The year went by F-A-S-T! Getting lots of bad weather from Alberto. My satellite is going in and out - no internet, no work. Think I'll take a nap!!
And to think there is an entire country above Montana! No

Chill out, all she is doing is wearing a color she obviously likes -
and black in high school, some pretty wild clothes too. Doesn't sound like she is going goth or anything. Lots of girls wear black, nothing wrong with it. Remember pick your battles and don't blow the little things out of proportion.....as for rebelling I would not consider this anywhere close to rebelling.
Because it looks like Kansas. Western MT is real Montana.

Chill in that you're all complaining and whining here, which is getting you NO where fast! Plus i
just soooooo tiresome to hear it 24/7. Again, its been going on forever. Period. And I assume you are referring to MQ, and then go on to imply how the service who treats their MTs right will have the most MTs, or whatever. Well, MQ has about 10K at any given moment! Unethical to route work as you see fit? Never! That's the ropes! Some MTs just take everything soooooo personally. Its not good for their mental health, literally. Hey, I get a run of 10 reports from a great dictator whom I haven't heard in, say, 6 months, I just type them and move on! Perhaps I pause a microsecond to think, Hmmmm...he hasn't been around much, but glad he's here now! To hear these whining complaining MTs, they just sit there and start plotting how this doctor got to their pool, where he's been in the interim, and its ALWAYS Indian MTs as the scapegoat, or the cherry pickers, or the VR got all the "good stuff". They never just accept that its just THE WAY IT IS. The roll of the dice - the MTs on line before them or with them - why does it always have to be something other than just fate? Its so reflective of an unhappy persona, and its so self defeating. Type it and be happy, or get another job!
Very nice around there. Good place to chill, hmm, mentally that

I feel bad for the people in Colorado and Wyoming who had so much wind and cold
weather. This would be worse than a hurricane because if your roof blows off, you are in severe sub-0 temperatures with blowing snow. No way to get any kind of help, and no way to stay warm.
In all due respect, some of you MTs need to relax and chill on these issues of "cherry pickers
VR or Indian MTs. I have been in this business for over 25 years now, and this is the very nature of this business. Work is always pooled around according to WHO is doing the pooling. If you're an MT who always helps out cheerfully, always willing to give help where needed, sure, you're probably gonna get rewarded by having some sweet dictators routed to your pool. If you're the pooler and your friend is the recipient, you're probably gonna tend to give your friend some cake dictators. If, on the other hand, you're pooling work, and there's a cranky, whining, complaining MT, you're probably gonna just happen to send her some of those wonderful marble-mouthed dictators. There is ALWAYS someone at the start of the process, doling out the work to someone -directing it where THEY want it to go for whatever reason. Same thing in the old days of tapes - tapes were handed out according to whoever was handing them out! Then C-phones, and work would be diverted to your "line", and now the internet. I don't know if you are all new to the field, or just forgetful, but this is the nature of the industry. So many are so paranoid and blaming cherry pickers, Indians, or who knows! Most cherry pickers don't even have to cherry pick. The GOOD work goes to the GOOD workers. Its simple. So, be nice, have a good attitude, and do your job. You're far more likely to get good dictators that way then dreaming up conspiracy theories or looking to blame the invisible cherry pickers. You can look to those over you in authority, and really should perhaps put a little reflection on WHY you are getting the garbage over and over. It sure can't hurt to try to look at it another way, cause its really not all as complex and complicated to figure out as you would like! Look to yourselves before always, always blaming those cherry picking Indian VR MTs! Start tomorrow with a NEW attitude. Or, if its too late at your job, maybe start fresh somewhere else! I doubt it would hurt, and you sure might find yourselves with a new attitude and on the receiving end of some good reports!

Tough question, I love so may, Definitely Gone with the wind, can I count the 6 Star wars as one?

This doc keeps blowing wind/nose hairs/boogers out his nose - into the microsphone - and
sounds cool, huh?
I am physically nauseated! 3 hours of this.  gag
Add to that he can't say *our* alphabet so even though the hospital THINKS the docs are spelling the names, he wasted his time and mine. and when I get it wrong -- until I get the hospital to listen --- they will think I'm the *blank* one. (the board stopped me from posting/ said stup*d is not allowed here so you know what I'm saying - isn't that odd, I can't refer to my own self as that, hmmm)
He can't say NUMBERS. Getting the drug doses is a joke. Even the names of the drugs is like mystery science.
He says wrong months, days of the week. If he's meaning to say May, he may say April.
If he's meaning to say 17 he may say 15.
You can hear the disdain in his voice when he dictates on women - I guess in his world there truly is no respect for women and you can really hear it when he's doing the dictation.
But the constant blowing - and clearing his throat - trying to dislodge that tickling nose hair I guess and slurping that yucky saliva has me just about ready to quit transcribing RIGHT NOW. . 
Today I did make myself a promise. I have been a good girl for 30+ years, held my anger deep in my ugly Wal-Mart pocketbooks. When I retire in January and I know I will never have to turn on another computer or transcribe another medical dictation............I'm gonna go to the hospital ......maybe go sit in on GRAND ROUNDS FOR THE LAST TIME.......and BLAST THEM. I'll do it or bust a gasket. Just watch me.

If it rains hard, the wind blows hard and there are trees
nearby, it snows heavily it will mess up the signal. The speed is not constant, sometimes as slow as dial-up, but at least still connected. Many companies will not allow satellite.
