or kids or sex life. I've sworn off men. I'm 35 years old today and have found that most guys my age are married, jerks or divorced with good reason.
I don't have much choice. I love working from home...I just can't afford to run out of work.

Thanks everybody. Will give one of these a shot.
I will give it a shot.
I think I will try that. My husband use to be very clean though. I don't know what happened, but I have started feeling like I am a slave around the house. It seems like I work and clean and cook and pick up after my two little kids and my HUSBAND. I don't think it's fair that he has time to set on the couch and watch movies while I am cleaning up after him. Thanks for the advice.
Tired of never have time to relax!
You can give it a shot.
I would suggest looking at company websites and maybe e-mailing their HR or recruiters. Like the previous poster said, QA people don't seem to make too much, but if all you want are benefits out of the job, it is worth a shot.
Good luck.
Give it a shot, but don't knock yourself out.
Just adopt a steady, calm exterior as you perform both jobs. I would not try to get it all done. I would do what I could but not frantically. That's all you can physically do. They can't expect all of it to get done with all of those interruptions. It's not conducive to doing good work for either "hat" you are wearing.
And since they are so fond of doubling up duties, tell them you'd like a free Pap smear, since they are doctors and went to med school. Sheesh. This is the most put-upon career, and it never stops to astonish me what new lows people will go to, to cheat us. They must be good limbo dancers.
Good luck to you.
I say you need to give it a shot full-time.
That's the only way you will get quicker and more accurate. You need experience. The more you do it, the easier it will come. Good luck.
Thanks, I will give it a shot!---if it works the rugs are gone! - nm

I've never tried it with sausage...I'll have to give it a shot!

Screen shot
Can someone tell me how to make a screen shot of whatever is on my computer screen?  Sometimes it helps to have a screen shot when contacting the IT department for help.
I Shot the Sheriff
We had recorded the show and that one contestant we have to play over and over and over and each time we laugh. My son thinks that was so funny how he just kept singing the same thing.
o.k. I'll take a shot at it...
First of all, you may be very good at what you do. That does not mean that you would be good at TEACHING what you do. Developing a curriculum and working with different learning types is a big job. That's why educators keep going to school to learn how to do it.
Second, what is your plan? Having newbies pay you an additional $500 for more training, after they have already paid $1300, $1500, $2000? You would be competing against the schools who INSIST they turn out job ready MT's. M-Tec, etc. would be all over you. In addition, the newbies themselves believe they come out of school ready to work. Now, we all know different, which is why we don't hire newbies, but the majority of them don't "get it." And they sure ain't going to be happy about forking out more money.
Third, crunch the numbers. If they pay you $500 tuition, in order to bring in $30,000 you would have to 60 people sign up. But don't forget they just sign up for their 3 months exp. or 6 months exp and then they are GONE! And they need to be replaced. You would need to be having 10 people per month sign on with you.
Finally, why would you encourage people you care about to invest time and money in a dying field? It would be like training them to be typewriter repairmen. Or maybe professional ironers, in a permanent-press world. The field is changing. If you have been on this board any length of time, you have seen the wages go down. Remember when we used to get 9 and 10 cpl routinely? Now it's 6-7, maybe 8. How about the MULTIPLE postings from people who have lost jobs to VR and EMR? How about the MT's complaining about the dictators that are left, ESL all the way, baby. And we won't even go offshore.
So if you're obsessed with the idea of helping people, I might suggest literacy tutor training or ESL teaching or even doing a short stint in Africa, working at an orphanage
Shot in the dark
here, and I know if you knew the answer to this you would have already done it. I sense your frustration, I understand what you are saying. Can you go in to the program files and totally delete the file that stores the tmp files? Maybe if it didn't have anywhere to put them it couldn't store them? Sorry, I'm no programer, but that was the first thing that came to mind.
okay, I did (screen shot) and I sent it.....
to the person who had responded to my original question and asked her to address this. Thank you for providing the link. It will be interesting to see how they respond to this one. I am so naive; I expect everyone to play fair and be nice, and obviously they don't. Where she makes the comment about "imposters here" and she would rather have someone else qualified in India handle her record, I told her I think their focus should be on making sure everyone here IS qualified and not making sure the Indian workers are qualified. Like I said, it will be interesting to see how they respond. I will keep you posted on it if people are interested in hearing their answer.

you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.
there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
My DD had the shot AND got the CP, however, very very mild case.

Mr. Big Shot better watch his back...sm
...he might go the way of Steve Mandell, the former CEO who was force marched out last winter. Everyone who ever worked there in management seems to have been fired, so this guy isn't immune. That company has never made any money and their bankroll, HCR ManorCare, has stepped in and taken over and has demanded that they sell. Heartland's quality is a joke. I know, because I used to work there.
Or try Folex or Spot Shot.

Don't know if this is the same problem, but worth a shot SM
my foot pedal was working fine and then...nothing! Looked fine...I was very confused. Called my boss and he said to check the card that the foot pedal was plugged into (mine is not a USB). I turned off computer (and powered off the power strip just to be safe), took off the side panel, and sure enough the sound card that the pedal was plugged into was partially disconnectly. I firmly (yet gently) reinserted it completely, put side panel back on, turned on power strip then computer, and then waalaa (sp? lol) it worked like a charm.
Don't know if this is your problem or not, but I figured I'd share my experience just in case. Good luck!

If you think someone getting shot, even by accident, is funny, you need some serious help

I had a cortisone shot that worked for me.
I had underwent OT for weeks and then saw an orthopaedic surgeon who scheduled me for a cortisone injection into the joints and since then NO PROBLEMS!!!! I do stretches and have a split keyboard now that I didn't have before then, but it has been over a year with no aches! :) My repetitive case may not have been as bad as yours though.
What about a glamour shot portrait of you? sm

Taking a long shot here...sm
Are there any companies out there (private/national) that pay by the hour? I'm tired and burnt out! Thanks!
Take a screen shot of this: $150 in 2006

We were $2.42 on Monday - shot up to $2.99 today and expected....sm
to go well over $3/gallon because of the pipeline distribution problem. The governor has declared a state of emergency and is urging folks to not drive anymore than necessary while they're getting emergency shipments of fuel in.
do't worry, go for the steroid shot and relief!
I have tendonitis along with RHA. When my elbow flares up (as it's doing now), I pop the ibuprofen, use a gel wrap for "tennis elbow" you can pick up in the drug stores and try to limit my heavy movement with that one.
That said, I have to have it along with my hip injected 3-4 times a year. Not sure if my rheumy is just the best or not but I've never had any pain with the steroid injections. I call him slick and the relief is almost instant, no more tears from the pain. HTH
Worth a shot, but didn't work for me. sm
My inhouse job was outsourced when I left to work at home after 3 years doing the same account and getting rave reviews and raises for my transcription. I applied to the company handling the same account when I saw it advertised. I was told by the company my account was outsourced to that I did not have enough experience. Huh? 18 years total. 3 years on that same account.
I guess it depends if you're still working for the hospital or not. I know that at least around here, the hospitals basically black ball you if you have the nerve to leave their employ.
Hopefully the hospital you mention isn't quite as petty as mine was. They actually started sending the tapes out the day after I gave my 2 week notice and I had absolutely nothing to do but filing for the last 2 weeks. Apparently the hospital policy dictates that there is a grave danger of breach of confidentiality once the employee gives notice.
Give me a break.
Good luck. Hope it works out for you!
That would be his mug shot when he was arrested quite awhile back..nm

You can do a screen shot and save to a document...sm
then dispute the line count paid to you. Why would you settle for less than what you have actually transcribed? I check mine on a daily basis and write it down, then do a total payroll line count - that's the one I do a screen shot of so that I can make sure to get paid for what I've done. Good luck!
I didn't use the chickenpox shot for mine by choice.
For one thing, it's too expensive. For another thing, they think it might only be good for 10 years because they haven't followed it long enough. You can still get chickenpox despite the vaccine, and chickenpox are worse if you get them as an adult. The medical community still doesn't know for sure the longterm effects of a lot of these vaccines they're pushing on the public. There are potential side effects with every immunization, too. Besides that, my husband is now being actively pursued to particpiate in government studies over vaccines that he received at work, which have now been proven to cause health problems that everyone is hush, hush, trying to cover up.
I'd like to have a tall glass of eggnog spiked with a shot of rum.

Help! Long shot, but if you're near Redding, CA, please read
I'm desperately in need of a Dictaphone pedal. Mine randomly quit working this morning, I need to work today and tomorrow, and I can't find one in any stores here. My employer's Fedexing me a new one that will get here Monday. If you have one that I could borrow until Monday, I'll come pick it up, and I'll bake you one of my famous apple pies.
Short term memory shot to Hades
So sorry, Rad MT - I could not remember for the life of me who suggested making shortcuts for capitalized terms!
I did all the vertebral levels, except thoracic spine levels 2-11 'cause when do you ever type anything pertaining to the middle of the thoracic spine? HA! That's all I had today! Now I will go back in and make shortcuts for the rest of the thoracic spine.
Thanks for that tip.
Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to
do what is right. If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child. "you suck" That is so immature.
She is responding to you and you are eating her alive. Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it.
I am really astonished at how people can act on here. Would you treat people like this in person? If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends.
Remember we are all "HUMAN."

Either one are 9 month courses at the local community college..worth a shot!

Yeah I went onto the website and just ordered a Belkin adapter. It's worth a shot at this point.
I'll let you know if it works at all when I get it.

A simple google search will give you your answer...I'd give you the answer,
but how would that help you learn to research on your own...and I'm in a rush to get to the next post.

They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Thanks, I will give that a try:) nm

Give them whatever you
would give them at the "fairy tale" wedding. The honeymoon may be over by next year.
hum, I might have to give it a try, then...
Don't give it up
I have been hurt severely on several occasions... and on occasion yes... a bit gun shy for the first period back in the saddle. It does lessen and then goes away. Just trust in your knowledge and your experience. You have to trust your horse. Just go slowly at first. But do NOT give up. That is the worst thing that you can do. You have to face it and it slowly you will relax more. Keep in mind that your horse will know/will feel your hesitancy and your fear. In order for him/her to be relaxed, you must try to as well. That is why going slowly at first will help regain your confidence. Just around the ring maybe for a bit.... then a little more open. Work yourself back up to your usual routine. Good luck!
