I'm only 39, but Cary Grant was pretty hot too, Peter Lawford too.

Business grant.
I am looking for someone who has applied for a business grant or any grant and received it. I have been looking for how to apply and where and what is needed to apply?
No company has to GRANT OT. If they
tell you not to work it, then don't. You should never assume with any job there is OT. If there is, just be thankful for the extra money, but never ever count on it.
Peter Jennings
Peter was very eloquent in presenting the news. His charming and winnings ways will be missed.
Peter Jennings
Amen, so sad. He was like the "only" newscaster on TV while growing up and beyond. He is home now!!
LOL!!! There's the Peter Principle, for sure!
Good one! You remember the Peter Principle, don't you? Someone will be promoted to the level of their incompetence! It's too true, too much of the time!
meant rodney grant nm

ah - I thought you meant Grant...*lol*...nm
Also went to comm. college on a grant
and starting doing a paid internship before I graduated from the 9 month program. I was offered a FT job in-house doing acute care at a major hospital. I did well enough for 7 years that I continued my education to become a respiratory care practioner (where, by the way, I took an initial paycut).
Peter Lorre was scary looking to me...n/m
apologizing for Hugh Grant ? He's a doll.
The oysters however, hmmmm.
Look for grant to pay for school. Have heard that MTs can get them because of offshoring of
:+
Anyone else saddened by the loss of Mr. Peter Jennings?
I am.
I am 30, grew up watching Peter Jennings.
This was really sad for ME because I have seen him on the TV since I can remember watching TV. The time I remember him the most of course is 9/11. He was there nonstop. I will never forget.
Nick Nolte or Peter Strauss
LOL Yes they were both handsome, and it was such a good show - but who would you choose NOW ? 
I think I saw "Pell Grant" mentioned on Andrews site?? nm

Considering Peter Preziosi (PP) is going to India to do some serious butt kissing...
.
Good choice. Appauling, insulting, and every other neg. MT word ya can think of. Holy Smokes. Grant
the Serenity Prayer.
Office Space is hilarious! It's an older movie, but sooo funny! The attitude Peter
has (the main character) reminds me of me! Gotta see if you haven't already. I watch it over and over and I still laugh.
My favorite lines:
"Can't you just zonk me out so that I don't know that I'm at work, in here? Can't I just come home and think that I've been fishing all day or something?"
"I don't really like my job and I'm not gonna go anymore."
That old time movie star Peter Lorie. There's just somethin about his eyes, so dern fascinating!!
I think I'm pretty bright and pretty good, too, but
I am not a CMT. I am a medical transcriptionist who enjoys her job very much (most days). I have chosen not to pursue certification simply because I cannot afford to do so. I believe the certification is a nice thing to have, but I don't believe it is necessary for employment or for excellence in my job. If you can afford it, go for it. If you can't, don't feel too bad. You can still take pride in and do a very good job without it. 
Well, this is just pretty much par for the
course for MQ. Guess they never heard the saying "If it's not broke, don't fix it." I'm sure the underpaid tech people will fix it soon.
But they have such a pretty name...
Isn't that the main thing to look for?
pretty much just what they are- I know nothing
How are they like CD's, are they better, worse? Basic info. I've googled it, but still not sure.
Pretty is as pretty does.
and your not looking too good here.
pretty....
Thank you for reading my post and taking it the way it was written.
Some others on this board twisted what I said - as if I was saying "everyone is doing it" by citing the fact that hospital staff are under the influence of various substances - drugs (legal as well as illegal - although someone took it to mean marijuana), alcohol, glue sniffing, aerosols, etc.
Nurses and doctors have the highest percentage of addiction of any professionals - there are many factors that go into, but it is merely a fact, not an accusation or finger pointing, just a fact.
Pretty!
Very nice!
Pretty sure you have to pay for that.
Which makes it even sadder. That she paid for such a poorly worded post.
I am pretty sure I know where the ad came from
These are usually meger start-up places who think they can get by by offshoring and will find out very quickly how bad the work is going to be. I see these all the time and am pretty adept at stealing the offshore business after the client gets a taste of reality. :)
Pretty much the same way (sm)
This doc dictates on cassettes, but he only turns it in when he has filled up the tape. I've asked him to turn it in everyday. The only thing they want on their reports is the transcription date, which is what their accreditation requires. Their accreditation also requires a TAT within 4 days, so when he dictates from Wednesday to Wednesday, and I get the tape on Thursday, he is out of that 4-day range. The transcription date is sometimes a week or so later than the actual test date, which is what he doesn't want.
Thanks for the tips!
I do it now, pretty much always have sm
Right now, it is a FT employee with benefits and a PT IC well paid (10 cpl) as well as some hourly QA work. As I have said many, many times, I am not a good sitter. Actual my fanny is in the chair, hands flying time is for full time is probably 5 to 5-1/2 hours, perhaps 6 a day. PT job is much the same, can't sit still probably only work 3 hours a day. The longest I ever sit at a time is the QA stuff where I will sit straight for the 1 to 2 hours that is going to take me.
My income is full time money, about $900-$1000 a week and I don't eat, drink and sleep MT. My income is going up a bit now because I gave up cigarettes and I don't stop to go out and smoke. I take breaks, but the breaks are much shorter and I am faster and faster on the keyboard.
Pretty much the same. SM
Some things the programs I've worked with seem to learn quickly, some they seemingly never learn. (It may be that VR work attracts passive-aggressive-type computers. After all, no computer can really be THAT dumb!)
Regarding making all those corrections, tho, use your expander. If yours won't record the Keystrokes you use to make all these corrections, get another. Let it delete "q.i.d." and type in "4 times a day" for you. Let it break one sentence into two for you. Let it type in a discharge diagnosis heading and then copy the admission dagnoses under it for you. Have it replace the phrases the computer will not learn with the correct versions for you. While you get paid for it.
That is pretty much the only way to use them
now because you need ULD and no phone company offers true ULD. I worked with a company where I had to use a C-phone and I had digital phone service through my cable company. I no longer work for the company, but I used it without any problems whatsoever.
Pretty much.
Soon MTs will be nothing more than minimum wage workers.
This is pretty much
what I do. I make them for everything (plus individual words). Maybe because of the original way I was taught to make Expanders (using all consonants), I have had to alter my pattern in numerous ways (and now include vowels).
I typically use more of the 2nd word when doing two-word combos, like, ihrn for inguinal herna and hdss for heart disease, but I do have others where I do the reverse because of feel or whatever.
I continue to alters my patterns, shorten them and alter some because of letter combo comfort.
I guess it's just difficult when the goal is to have them for "everything" but not being close (because how many endless combos would there really be?), so then I'm not sure if I have one for certain things or not. And given the fact that there are umpteen ways to say the same phrase, I often would swear I had made one for a certain phrase ... but then, a word or two was different.
My thought was maybe it would be better to disregard certain types of phrases/words, and that is why I asked for examples of things you all do not make them for.
When I do the same account or two more regularly, I have a lot less problems. When switching it up, I fumble more. I suppose there is a certain flow and type of speaking with each account and various dicators, and alternating too much disrupts the flow of my autopilot.
Thanks for all the responses. If anyone thinks of anything to add, I will be checking back again.
Thanks!
Actually pretty much anywhere
It's usually over by where the Boost and stuff are carried, Walmart, Walgreen's, Target, even some supermarkets. It tastes good too.
Let me know how it works for you!
They do work pretty well, but.......
Hate to have to wear them for work, as it is so hot here they slide down my face. So far at my ripe old age of 58, I only need them for driving.
Pretty much say the same thing
We needed to be there, still do
Pretty bad punishment...
To be sent to OSi is truly torture...lol...
I'm pretty sure it's "layed down"...
according to Google search.
Yeah, pretty much (sm)
That's why Sunday/Monday can be rough sometimes.
If I have nothing else going on I do stay up all night, preferably doing something productive. However, if I have to do something with "normal" people, I just try to take a nap Sunday evening.
that pretty well covered it....
Are they very quick with getting back with you when you apply? I have 5 years exp and taught one quarter of med trans at a local community college. I'm working in a doc office now (not doing transcription) but want to get back into working at home doing transcription. I had gotten away from it in 2004 because my husband got deployed and I wanted to make sure we had good insurance while he was gone which is why I took the job with the doc office. He was gone for 16 months and is now home and getting ready to take a really good job, which is going to allow me to start working at home again doing transcription. Hoping to hear from them soon. Thanks again for your input!!!
Your time will come and it won't be pretty. nm

Pretty scary. Do you actually think you
are Frank?
PRETTY GOOD
GOOD GOIN PEEPS!
Mig was too pretty for them. Am I the only one who thinks (sm)
that Marty looks like a drug addict? 
Anyway, I think they made a good choice.
Astrology is pretty old...see
http://www.astrology.com/aboutastrology/overview/history/
At one time was it wasn't considered anti-bible or anti-Christian.
Sounds pretty sad.
I think the little girl needs a lot of prayer.
pretty scary
I know that this does happen. I just try not to think about it. It's amazing how many physician's and other big tim professionals are functioning alcoholics and drug addicts. Even more sad is the fact that other hospital staff know that these people are enebriated and don't dare say anything to anyone about it.
pretty frightening if you ask me!!!! sm
