It's a very strange town to meet people.  I've been here a long time.  We can email if you want, although I'm not sure how to do that from here.  LOL...

Hi everyone,

My husband and I are going to Vegas for our anniversary, does anybody know of a good show to catch while there?  

After changing carrers from our Home based MT business here in Summerlin-Las Vegas, we have collected a few dozen current and past MT and Medical-Word/Terminology books.

If you are having a somewhat hard time starting up yours, we know how difficult it can be and would like to donate these manuals free to a serious MT newbie in need if you can pick them up here in Summerlin, Las Vegas. 

Please send us an email stating your true need and aspirations for MT carreer. We want to give the books somewhere where they will be most needed and used.

PLease send the email by Aug 12, after midnight we will review what ever emails we get and send further instructions for pick up. Thank you.

Anything Vegas is romantic to me......

Go there and find the best suite you can at one of the finer hotels; i.e., Bellagio, Mandalay Bay,  Wynne, and then make reservations at some of the five-star restaurants - then top it off with a fine show, a few hands of black jack, a couple of Black Russians, and a helicopter ride over the strip at night, then if you have time, go to the top of the Stratosphere at their lounge and have another Black Russian.  That view is TOTALLY romantic!  

Whereever you choose, though, I have you have a totally romantic time!

Do you do this every night or just on Fridays? If it's just on Fridays, probably not (nor would I probably even be aware of it).

Thursdays as well, since the work that comes in after 5 isn't due until Monday morning.

Hospitals have a rhythm. Does your way of ensuring turnaround mean that almost every job you have is over 10 minutes, leaving all the 1 and 2 minute 'nuisance' reports in the queue? Do all the ops remain in the queue (I'm a fan of the work type, but not everybody is)? I'm reaching annoyance stage.

I get both long and shorter jobs.

Again with the rhythms- Are there particularly egregious dictators that you get to essentially ignore because they're morning birds while Dr. Chatty Easylines and Dr. Joe Makinbigbucks routinely dictate 1500 lines, which for them entails a total of 4 hours of typing combined) at about 7:00 each evening. Yeh, now I'm PO'd.

All the dictators on this particular account have their jobs come in at various times.  I get the good, the bad and the ugly . . . just like everybody else.

Are you then one of those people that wil come on here and gloat about how on average you type 400-500 lines/hour and make roughly $25/hour, can't understand why all transcriptionists can't do it, and suggest we tinker and modify our expansion program so we can be as good as you? Be thankful the internet is anonymous because otherwise I'd know if you worked for my company and I would be kicking up a fuss like you wouldn't believe.

I make good money, but I don't come on here and "gloat."  I've been with my company for many years.  They are happy with the work I do.  Also, I work every weekend day to do those jobs I take.  The other MTs at my company do not want to work weekends.  I also work nights AND during the day.  I have a flexible schedule, but I work a lot because I want to make a lot. 

and told him about my symptoms (that I think I have tennis elbow...left lateral epicondylitis...lol...I'm sure he thinks I'm a big 'ole hypochondriac using the correct terminology), and he said if it gets too bothersome to come in and he will give me a cortisone shot (so, no need for a referral, etc...just one $15 copay).  That's good to know that he can do it in his office.

Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions.  I actually have one of those aircast braces.  I liked the idea of the keyboard/forearm rest.  It's a bit spendy though, so I'll have to see if we can afford it after Christmas.  Castor oil, huh?  Well it's worth a try.  Hahaha...it reminds me of when I used to do daycare.  One of the parents told me if their baby got the hiccups, I was to tear off a piece of brown paper bag, hold it against her forehead, and feed her a bottle.  I thought they were absolutely nuts.  Well, she got the hiccups...although I felt totally silly, I tried what they suggested...and it WORKED!  I couldn't believe it!  I tried it on my next two babies and it worked on them too!  So now I know better than to laugh at "weird" suggestions. :)

This Friday is my last day of a 2-week notice and, as of yet, the administrator has not said a word to me about leaving. I've worked inhouse for these people for 20 years. No questions as to why, nothing.  The assistant only said she was glad for me and wished me well. What do you make of spending 20 years of your life doing your best and, in the end, they could care less? Boy, do I feel stupid, but definitely made the right decision in leaving.

My twin granddaughters, the dynamic duo, (17 months)  who will be spending the rest of the weekend with Gram and "Aunnie" (my 11-year-old).  Can't wait to play and spoil, spoil, spoil!

I probably will be in bed and sound asleep after they leave Sunday at 7:00.  :)

Put your answer in your subject line, so we can see the results without opening every post, please.  Thanks!
