Hair pulling day
Same doc on two notes. Left 26 blanks total.
RE: Pulling my hair out
I have had 2 people working for me for almost 5 years and have to repeatedly check over their work. Should I get rid of them or is this is the norm.
RE: Pulling my hair out
I have to read over each report that they send me because of careless errors like putting the month of June on the notes instead of July. Of course, blanks are always going to happen from time to time, I realize that. I am referring to the careless things that happen with the incorrect spelling of medications, etc. Why I still pay keep them I guess is because I am too nice, but it is wearing off very, very quickly.
Pulling my hair out
Yes I do give them very good feedback and every time these errors appear I am in contact with them all the time. This is an easy account with clear dictators and it is the same account they have worked on for some years so it is just time to do something. I have tried being patient, correcting, but I will do the next best thing and alert them that they are on probation; if they don't straighten out then I will either start deducting for these careless errors or lay them off.
i think the little guy is pulling out his hair!!
Interesting post. I thought it was just me, after MTing so many years. First of all, i was told 30+ years ago to try and sit off-center from the keyboard and see if it helped my accuracy -- it worked wonders!! I tend to sit a tad to the right of it and angle the right upper corner of the keyboard up a bit too. I find i have less arm fatigue and less strain on my carpal-tunnel-feeling nerves to be closer to the board. Sometimes i even put the keyboard in my lap -- and it really does seem to help the comfort alot, just a bit of a bother to situate my keyboard when i get up and down from the desk tho. I also find, contrary to smart-people thoughts, that i do better with my keyboard low enough that my arms are not at right angles to it. we MTs are a bit finicky eh?
OMG! Pulling my hair out here! Venting...
I have an ESL who speaks very fast, but when I slow him down, he sounds like a very drunk ESL. He tends to speak rather softly until the last 3 or 4 words of his dicatation, when he actually speaks into whatever he dictates into and I can hear those few words very well. This guy has been a pebble in my shoe for far too long!
Ok, venting over. Ignore the crazy lady. 
30 years and I'm still pulling my hair out sometimes

i'm not an editor pulling my hair out or hollering at anyone. You are.
what a joke. you think you are superior but when i make $25-30 an hour with no sweat, no problem, no hollering, no pulling my hair out, and you are left hollering with BP in the too high digits, who is dumb? bwwwaaaaaahaaaaaaaa
Pulling your hair out with a difficult dicator? Try this.

kids clothes these days
 The skimpy little outfits the girls get away with wearing to SCHOOL, just boggles my mind. Heck, most are shorter than my old gym clothes...remember those days? Girls could not even be SEEN by the boys in our gimmies...modesty is not in these days it seems...and the boys
Well when my son tried the baggy britches, I did just that when he was going up the stairs in front of me...pulled the d&%$ things down, one warning..catch you like that again and you will be wearing a uniform
We are going to Florida for 3 days minus kids..
this weekend to take a look around and see about relocating. I have been doing the same thing. It is doing nothing for my production!
Have a great trip and relaxing vacation :O)
Laser Hair Removal (for dark hair)
I've tried Epilators (basically an electronic tweezer) and wax, but nothing beats Laser HR. It's a bit pricy and takes a few treatments to be 100% effective, but definitely works.
I did that with 2 kids with time mgmt and a high school girl who babysat 3 days a week after school

Yep - I agree - your kids should know better...
I feel for you and in my own life have felt like *chopped liva*.....I used that expression growing up in a family with 4 kids. So, I do GET feeling like chopped liver. I only have 1 child and she never forgets me - I have everything she ever gave me (she's 25) and she makes my life and vice-versa. I'm very lucky. She said in a card yesterday that I was her best friend, provider, caregiver, and support in her life. WOW, did she EVER MAKE MY DAY.
That's okay - your old children hopefully will someday GET IT!! They are at THAT AGE....a little self-absorbed.....it might very well change for you in your favor with your children.
As for husbands, I got rid of mine years ago and don't want another one. *grin*
Be well......God sees everything!! *hugs* 
I agree about the kids....AND
Unfortunately people don't always think about the child's future before bringing them into a bad relationship or into this screwed up world. I am so sick of seeing divorced pregnant women or women with toddlers who say the marriage was bad for years! HELLO! Guess not that bad? And knowing what we know now and how screwed up society is, who would want to bring another child into this world, period? Things are not going to get better. Just the other day even Oprah said it's a totally screwed up world with no morals. I often wonder if that's why she didn't have children. Very smart lady, that Oprah!
I agree - my kids are grown and gone.
The house looks great, but I do miss the days when they were kids and lived here.
I agree wholeheartedly. Your kids are only young once. nm
nm.
Have to agree. Kids do make working at home "different" (sm)
Mine are grown, but the grandchildren occasionally are over. The oldest one will play his Gameboy or some cube thing all day and only occasionally ask to be fed. However, when the youngest one can't go do daycare for some reason my world is turned upside down. The granddaughter has it in her head that when I ask her to be quiet it means come over to my desk and whisper. All in all, it isn't too often that I have children in my house when I work. My hat is off to those of you who do it on a regular basis, you are queens of organizational/concentration skills.
Sounds like a bunch of BULL to me. I agree, I wouldn't let the kids
 stay with her again at ALL. It's not okay for the kid to get arrested and the parents not be told IMMEDIATELY or at least first thing in the door when you're home. THAT is total DISHONESTY and I don't see how hubby could feel any different.
I agree with the Hyland's homeopathic tablets - saved me with all 4 kids!
Totally agree. Her kids are brats and spoiled with dirty money. I know she works
c
Agree! What about your hubs, kids, sex life, groceries? Something's gotta give if you're doing

I think she's pulling your leg sm
what she is claiming is next to impossible! Sorry, I don't believe you! 
lol, not pulling your leg (sm)
I really did try the avatar months ago with no luck. However, this time I did go into edit my information so maybe it "reset" something. Glad you can see my butterfly wings............
30 hours divided by four days equals seven-hour days. Most of us have to work pretty much every day
.
Again, I am pulling for you. Please dont let me

Are you pulling in templates? If so,
you will have to check and make sure they are set on 100%.
Working 6/hour days, 5 days/week I make
$42,000.00, but the work is there to make more if I want to. I'm in the southeast.
I think you must tell your mother why you're pulling away from her. sm
It can't be fair to her that she does not know why you're treating HER like this. She's done nothing wrong. You need to tell her how you feel but point it to the fact that for your emotional health and safety you can't be in situations with your stepfather. Talk to her about keeping close to her without him and if she's doesn't want that, then you'll not be seeing her for awhile. I don't believe your mother is not strong enough to know the truth and it could possibly kick you in the pants in the end. It certainly may feel like a "darned if you don't, darned if you do" situation, but why make your mother feel that she's done something wrong, point that finger where it needs to be pointed, you're uncomfortable with him.
I say that about her being strong enough, but in an entirely different situation where my dad kept secrets about my brother, after my dad died my mom found out about these secrets which my dad felt she was not strong enough to handle, and it caused great harm to the relationship between my mom and myself. I can only hope that one day she can get over the deception that she feels we all pulled on her, even though it was at my dad's request because of her health. I truly wish I had told her a long time ago to save myself the mess that I deal with now by myself because my dad's not here to take the blame for us keeping secrets from my mom.
Why distance yourself from your mom without it being for the truth? Is it really not that important? You'll have to decide. My best to you and yours.
Your mail carrier was pulling yer leg
jokes on you!
If US MD's were pulling stuff back into US pay would be going up. It's going down.
because of offshoring and because of other replacements for MT (VR and EMR), pay is going down. Face it. There are cheaper alternatives for US MTs. The quality is not as good, but it is good enough. Yea, yea, yea "lawsuits, bla, bla, bla." Nice theory but ain't happening.
My MTSO recommends not pulling up more SM
than 3 documents. For reports in storage, I found that's about half a minute or less total to pull up 3 of them individually, scan, and move on. Google searches somewhat more but not more than a couple minutes at most to find an answer or realize it's hidden and move on. The point in this case being that they want a conscientious effort made to produce high-quality documents with few blanks but haven't found it cost effective for us to spend more than a minute or two on filling a blank.
Timing an actual minute while you to a search is revealing; it's actually a pretty long time that you could be using to churn out...what? 160+ lines with the help of your expander?
Laser hair removal. Has anyone tried laser hair removal on their face and if so, did it work?

2000 low days, 4000 busy days
Did 43,000 lines last month. 6 doctors.
You can "make a living" if you work 16-hr days, 7 days
and if you rarely buy anything but food and the barest essentials in clothing. My balancing act is so precarious that all it'll take is one of life's little disasters (rent increase, sick pet, major car repair) to pull the rug out from under me. Not a good feeling at all.
I never said you shouldn't have kids! Feeling guilty? I asked WHY you had kids.
You clearly stated in your post that you ship the kids off to camp all day, and they're TIRED AT NIGHT!! You know exactly what you said. You said it as a PERK - AS IN GREAT! They're gone all day, it wears them out, and so I shovel dinner in their mouths and off to bed! You can try to paint it any way you want, but YOU SAID IT. Again, I only hope your kids never hear you speak that way or write that way. Shame on you. Why have kids at all? Just another parent who has them, gets rid of them for day AND night, BRAGS ABOUT IT, and then calls ME wicked! Give me a break! Camp is fine - its WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU KNOW IT. Your own words showed your heart. Period.

Kids are demanding and so is MT work. My question is how CAN you do this with kids, rather than how
When you have two young kids, 11 months apart, (like I stated they are now 4 and 5) and have been doing this since they were born with no help from their father and no family around, YES, the kids get neglected. Part time might work but living on one salary, part time, is not an option. How can you possible tell me that anyone with two young kids can stay at home and work a full-time, 8-hour shift, and still give their kids the attention they NEED. I dont care how good you are at multitasking and how great your organizational skills are. It is a very difficult thing to do. And I am offended by your post making it sound as if it is easy to do.
I do agree that it can depend on how well your kids behave and how well they are able to play on their own. But my kids were not able to play well on their own. They needed constant attention.
So please take the time to realize that there are people out there in different situations than your own.
Reading our posts should help you to understand that everyone has a different situation. I believe everyone should have the right to shares their experiences as it might benefit the original poster in her questions and concerns.
I dont think anyone should be bashed for taking the time out to write about their experiences. I dont usually come on here to argue but you really ticked me off with your post. And try reading the post correctly. I said next time around I would have put them in day care. What I DID do with them was set them up to an activity like art or put on a movie for them. Geez.
Stayed "because of the kids?" I say "leave because of the kids"
You're in no position to buy right now. Keep saving, keep paying down your bills, and for heaven's sake get rid of that dead weight of a BF you're living with. You can do better.
So, should I return the $75 (x2 kids) in music cards I got the kids for x-mas...sm
My son has been telling me about free music sites and I was very leary. How do they skirt the law Radguy?
I don't have kids, but my Mom was from the "old school," and still had everyone, kids inclu
call her by her first name. The little neighbor girl next door from the time she could speak called her Aggie (my mom's first name), and they were great buddies until the day my mom pased away.
I don't think there really is much in a name, but more in the respect you are given and the way you are treated. Personally, I kind of cringe inside when someone calls me Ms. Anything or God forbid, "maam" (makes me feel like Methuselah!) ... I'm always just plain Merrie. :-)
But, as someone pointed out, to each his own. If you want to be addressed a certain way, you have that right, and people should respect that. I'm glad you corrected the child ... hope it "sticks."
