I'm just waiting 'til the time a mistake is made - SM

in my own healthcare as a result of the doc typing theire own note and messing up, or worse - the work getting messed up offshore. OR my identity getting stolen as a result of offshoring. Then it'll be lawyer-time, and hopefully then my 'ship will come in', and I can retire if I win my case.
All patients should have this in the backs of their minds.

Look, you made a mistake.....
no need to go on the defensive and start calling people fanatics. Just because someone loves their dog like their child doesnt make them fanatical. It also does not mean that because their pet is treated like a child that their pet is not trained. Are your children untrained? My goodness! My children behave very well. Treating a pet like a loved child, in my opinion, would mean they are treated with a lot of love tempered with discipline and boundaries. I think that you are fanatical in that you cannot seem to have a normal middle ground when it comes to these two issues.
I made a mistake....
For my hard hyphen I assigned Alt + H, not Ctrl H as I had posted.
I do remember (sort of) trying the hard space and I couldn't get it to work. I believe it put in an extra space. I'm sure I tried the backspace and pause features without luck, got frustrated and quit. I should try playing around with it again because that would be a great time saver. I know I have Dr. in my ESP as dr....but closing up that space would be better.
I believe it put in an extra space. I'm pretty sure I tried several combinationns
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...
I agree...unless it is something that would likely be a mistake made by everyone...

the guy who posted it obviously made a mistake
because you're right - it shouldn't have been posted here.
Tired of being an MT - Made a mistake.
I have been transcribing over 20 years. All different kinds of specialties. I've had good jobs and bad jobs. Jobs I'm sorry I quit. Anyway, my son works at a gas station that has freshly baked goods and had a job opening for doing the baking there. In a moment of acute hate for my job I jumped at grabbing that one. Now I'm sorry I accepted the job, it involves standing for 8 hours, the pay is about the same as what I'm making now (that's why I want out of MT), but I can't stand for 8 hours a day. I haven't given notice yet to my MT job and I don't want to have this shed a bad light on my son at his job. I just don't think I could be on my feet 8 hours a day. Now I am in a mess. How can I not take the job and not have this reflect on him?
As a side note. I think I don't make enough money as an MT because I spend all my time looking for another job while I'm working, or supposed to be working. HELP!
Wondering
Oopsie. QA lady. I made a mistake.
You were not on the GAB Board but here on the 4th. I was reading all of the craziness yesterday.
You would think, coming on an MT site, she would not have made a mistake as basic as that.
:p
Please tell me I am not alone. Just got a report back where I made a MAJOR mistake. (sm)
I normally try to be very, very careful, but I don't know what happened, but it did.
Feeling a little shaken regarding my skills and attention span right now.
Please tell me I am not the only one who has made an error and had the client send the report back.
So if someone isn't rolling in money, they have made a life choice mistake
and are living in squallor? Uh, I don't think so. If you're not an MT, why are you even here? You certainly aren't a very helpful or happy little elf.
Atta girl! You never know 'til ya try!
All the best! I think you'll find it most enjoyable! 
Full-time without OT. Made about 40K last year. nm

the last time I made 4 cpl was in 1974 and that was the going rate then. There's really SM
something terribly wrong wtih this industry today. While other industries are getting raises, we are having our work devaluated to the point where we can hardly earn enough to live. It's not like just anyone off the street can do this kind of work, it takes a lot of training. It's not even treated like a profession any more.
Personally, I will not feed into the low pay. If a company offers me 7 to 9 cpl, I let them know that it is an insult to expect an experienced, highly skilled Transcriptionist to be offered such low pay and I refuse to work for them. These companies need to come on in to the 21st century and offer pay that is more in line with the economy.
I really think some of these MT companies should read the comments on these boards with regard to the cpl they are offering. It might (?) give them a wake-up call.
I can't wait 'til they add that to our I-9 identification process, LOL. nm

I work 2 full time IC jobs and made just under 50K. nm

I made 21,000 last year working part time...
hoping when my youngest gets a bit older (she is 16 months) I can make a bit more...
I was working in-house, but didn't know 'til I arrived. - sm
Was having the nicest, QUIETEST morning up until then, too! (Didn't realize this was largely due to no jets flying overhead, as I live along the flight path for both SFO and Oakland Int'l. airports.)
I believe the phone had rung around 6:00 AM, (my sister calling to ask if I'd heard the news), but I tuned it out, turned over, and went back to sleep. Never checked my messages, either. I never turn on the TV before work, and it as a gorgeous fall day. I lived near where I worked, and decided to ride my bike to work that day. As I was riding along a street that bordered a creek, I remember thinking was a PEACEFUL morning it was.
So I get to work, and as I arrive at my workstation, feeling all smiles & calmness and 'coombayah', a co-worker asks if I've heard what happened. I just assumed the system was down again, which happened often there.
So then she says, no - New York was attacked. I thought she was joking, and then my sister reached me and was breathlessly telling me what happened. She said a jetliner had hit the World Trade Center. 'How can that be an attack?' I asked, 'There must've been something wrong with the plane or the pilot or something.' But she said no, she was watching live coverage of the aftermath of the 1st tower on TV, and actually saw the 2nd plane hit the second tower. She'd called because she heard one was headed for San Francisco (the one that went down in Pennsylvania).
Anyway, for the next couple days it was weird to drive past SFO and see NO planes taxiing on the runway, and to pass it at night and not see the lineup of jet headlights headed from East to West towards the main runway. Although I have to admit it was rather nice not to have to listen to planes overhead for a couple of nights, now when I hear a jet, it's sort of a relief. If a long time passes where I don't hear a jet overhead, I start to get nervous......
If you think that's bad, just wait 'til we get "free" health care. NM

i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
I'm still waiting for the
coming in the spring." Anybody remember that? I think spring has come and gone. 
It was my first mistake ever...
and I'm sure you've NEVER made a typo in your entire life. You are my idol.  Oh, yes. Uh huh.
Not really NM above. Mistake.

Big mistake for me
I became an MT after my surgery because I can no longer drive at night and can no longer work in a building due to severe dry eye after the procedure. I used to be a computer programmer prior to Lasik, with the same company for 17 years. I miss my old job and my old eyes. My vision is not very good due to irregular astigmatism induced from the Lasik procedure and haze that formed in the cornea. Most people do not realize what can go wrong because you only hear about the good results. Unfortunately, I'm one who ended up with many, many unresolvable problems from this surgery and it has turned my life and freedom upside down.
mistake her for a man - LOL

Don't keep waiting around...

so what are you waiting for?

My mistake
I'm sorry, it is definitely 10,000 lines, I think I must have been seeing 1000 minutes but thinking 100 minutes. Sorry about that. Very long day.
waiting...
I am waiting for an internship, I have given up trying to find a job! I decided that everyone is right, you have to do the internship or mentoring program and that is the way to go!!! I think it is the way to get my foot in the door so to speak. Thank you for all who have given me good advice. I think this is the way to go! There is no other way to go, that is my belief anyway...
waiting
I totally understand....
What are waiting for?
Wouldn't it be fabulous if all of us young chicks in our 50s formed our own business together? I don't know what business it would be, but we'd sure have fun! I think we should all audition for Deal or No Deal, and whichever one wins, we split the winnings between us. Wouldn't that be a gas? 
yep, your mistake then. thank you. NM

I'm waiting too....
I have 25 years experience and have been posting on this site and one other..I want to be able to start PT and then when my full-time job stops Radiology Overtime, then I'll be free to do more at home. Is it the economy? I love being at home and dread having to pound the pavement and work somewhere at night!
I'll be waiting to see
those Keystrokes links.
Agree and waiting until we all will have to pay for
zz
thank you Sandi, appreciate your help! My mistake
meant w/o blank lines but in my haste I worded my post poorly. Sorry!
She's not the only one who makes that mistake....
I had a medical records director 20+ years ago mark on our evaluation under "skill level", that out MT job needed little skill for the job. I refused to sign the evaluation and told her she should be ashamed of herself. Can you believe it? And she had an ART just like me...go figure!
I kept waiting to be scared on that one
but it never happened. The ending was SO incredibly stupid that I can't believe I wasted $2.99 renting it.
oops mistake
Meant disk failures though your disc in your back could fail. Writing, thinking and typing all at once sometimes throws me off. Mind is working too fast.
SAW ON FOX NEWS SAID IT WAS A MISTAKE
They said Ryan gave a number said to be Chris's, but actually when people called in it was the voting number for the girl!!!! Everyone should hound the Idol website!!! I knew something had to be wrong!!
Just want to avoid the same mistake...nm

Nope....not new.....still waiting!!

Just like when you have call waiting, you hit the

Take the one waiting for or try to work both sm
for short term to see which is really the one you want. Ya never can tell. If need be, be up front with current employer, tell them you want to be fair and say working both places to SEE rather than just quit them.
I am not sure about the waiting lists here yet,
but I do know that the program only takes so many students. That will probably be another thing I will have to factor in too. Great tip on taking the electives while waiting though. I am only going for the associate's degree as well. Are you interested in going into psych too?
You are right...Homans' it is, my mistake. nm
nm
But you get DINERO for doing that! If it's the same mistake,

I'm sure she's aware of that mistake! nm
.
what if I have call waiting?
Will the call waiting interfere with it?
Oops! My mistake...sm
... you can dial in with your Lanier using VOIP just as you can with a regular phone line (I again said C-phone in my post below).
Ha, sitting here waiting
for work!
Mistake in post
My point: You mistakes
You forgot the word make. LOL. Couldn't resist
