lol guess they're tired of all our griping about every
and slandering every company in the world

:)

I get tired of daily grind. I get tired of having

horrible dictation/dictators and not able to produce lines, which directly affects my paycheck.  I don't mind doing the difficult stuff, and I pretty good at it, but it is stressful and I find it very hard to budget when you never know what your paycheck is going to be.   I hate being tied to having earphones on all day.   I have children at home (I homeschool and don't have toddlers running around) and my DH works third shift so he is home during the day.  I try to work around all this, but can't always.  If I had a "desk" job I could be part of conversations at least, but having to have the earphones on you can't do that.   I get tired of being sedentary, my feet swell, my shoulders are tired, my elbows hurt, etc.  


I stick with it because of my children, and also because I like the flexibility.  I don't have to be up at 5:30 to get the kids up and ready for school, I don't have to fight traffic to get to work at 8:00.  It is a trade-off.   Sounds like you just need a break.  


 


Thanks because that was really annoying ! nm


Oh yes. It is very annoying to say the least. sm
I take a lot of breaks during the day and go outside to get fresh air. I actually think the anxiety is what is causing the heart palpitations. I have a prescription for Xanax, which I cannot take and work, but I do use it at night before bed on a very infrequent basis.
yes really annoying
equipment, moaning patients, laughing and talking nurses, barking dogs, and children crying or trying to get mom or dad's attention (stop that, I'm dictating!) funniest one was an announcement over the loudspeaker about a pizza delivery to the nurse's station.
it's really annoying
happens quite a bit.   I do get the credit though I put in a note that says dictator did not complete report but I still get paid for what I typed.
that would be annoying....
guess there is job security after all.
very annoying
I have an RN who dictates I have a problem with this chart.  She also gives lab values and then says No, I don't like those lab values, just delete them. . It's very annoying and also, what does it mean? How can you not like the lab values. . . Just a little irritated this morning. . sorry to vent. .
annoying
It is just annoying to get your speed up on an account and get used to the dictator and then they go and quit giving you that work for a little while and then they want you to do it again. So wishy-washy. I don't get it. It seems like it would be easier on the company to put you somewhere and leave you.
annoying
Something that bugs me to no end is when dictators use the word "nor" constantly and incorrectly.  grrrrrr..... 
Annoying!
I have one female provider who sounds like she is sucking on a lozenge the whole time. Worse than that, one doc clicks his pen over and over while I wait for him to say something (which is usually impossible to understand anyway).
ugh. baldwins are annoying now.
fat and bloated.
annoying dictator
Here's a good one; 7-1/2 minute dictation, first minute put on hold, then dictator dictates for two minutes, then says, Never Mind, Lets start this ALL OVER.  And they wonder why we are tense
Annoying dictator
If you are being paid by the line, I sure would dispute this! They have no idea, do they?
Do you ever get that annoying *bubble*

in your ear?  I have one in my left ear today and I can't get it to go away.  You know, when you talk and you can hear yourself really LOUD!  I have tried popping my ears....I tried irrigation....I thought I may have had water in it from my shower this morning, but nope.  It's driving me nuts and has made it very difficult to hear on that side today.  Does anyone have any tips on getting it to go away?


 


Annoying crickets sm
You know, I love summer with the sounds of birds and all that, but this cricket outside my window is driving me absolutely batty.  GRRR. 
ok now I see it - extremely annoying. NM

Management again. SO annoying.....
Gaaa
Yes!! About 10 days for me. Very annoying.

annoying doctor
I have to say you gave me my first good laugh today. I have had doctors fall asleep and say, well, you know my routine, but just let me know if you cannot figure it out.
Oh golly, that must be frustrating and annoying.
maybe you can make a game for yourself of second-guessing the QA folks. It sounds like they are the kind of ill-informed people who would rather cling to their ignorance like grim death than open their minds and learn something useful. If you look at figuring out their foibles as a game, maybe it won't rankle so much.
So annoying to get a good debate going, and then it's gone.

How annoying. What is it with the flaky factor?

Not transcription related but I am trying to get volunteers to help with a big community theater project and I don't know how many times I get the "oh yeah I will definitely be there blah blah" and I end up with mostly no-shows!!! I mean I know it's volunteer but why lie? If they don't want to, just $%#^ SAY SO..  Can't imagine people doing that to a real job, what idiots. 


Put annoying redundants in your expander...sm
and at the end of your pay period, count them and either aggravate yourself or LYAO all the way to the bank!
extremely annoying LOL I just did one today where the doc kept using the first name or the middle
None of which was spelled.  Wish they would make up their minds sometimes.  It would be funny (I was getting a little giggle out of it at the time I typed it) if it weren't so frustrasting at the same time.  Have a good one! :)
RE: I think they should send Paula home - she is so annoying........

annoying nomatter how you slice it - so true

Really strange, sorry it's annoying, we're cking to see what's up.

What is your most annoying redundant speech pattern? sm
You how doctors always seem to have a pet word? They will use it until you are ready to smack them.

Subsequently. Said by an ESL at least once in every sentence and pronounced sub see QUEENT ly. He is also says Prolene mess potch and plook for mesh patch and plug.

Next...next this, next that, next, now I...

At this moment. Did you know you can start every sentence in a 2-page report with at this moment?

then
then
then

and THEN I screamed and was heard in the halls of every hospital in America.
New nominee for most annoying doctor today s/m
This guy is walking on the treadmill while he's dictating, so not only is he so scatter brained he doesn't know what he's talking about, I get to enjoy the heavy breathing.
these boards allow you to "backhand" annoying people so you don't take it out on your famil
and don't be arguing with me today. you know i'm right.
Yeah, really! What an annoying, obnoxious, bottom-feeder she is!
Star sucks, bubbye loser!
In it to lesson annoying contact with the management species.
;p
His/her posts are annoying to you, becasue he/she knows more than you and beats you, admit it....nm

I hate shopping. I do mine on-line and avoid the annoying crowds.

If it's different for each report, my guess (only a guess)
would be no. I think the macro would work if it was the same each time, but not sure if it will if the documents are different each time.
old and tired
maybe you need the 14 bucks an hour to pay for those conference calls. i hear the editors have to pay for them all by themselves.
Thank you Tired... :)

tired of it sm
Not asked or told to do this.  Told they are "sound file reconversions" where the sound file is "fixed" and then the report goes back in the pool.  Sorry don't buy it.  If the sound is that bad, why do the report?  Why not send it to get the sound file "fixed" at the beginning?  Think its someone trying not to send something to QA.  They are always the difficult dictators.  Also was told that the sound file issues were resolved.
You are SO right... I get so tired of...
listening to people complain about this country.. We have it so good here that we are totally spoiled.  It's shameful.  If these people would take a tour around the world and then come back here and compare our medical care, they would stop this nonsense.  Even in developed countries like Italy, things are a little weird.  I lived there 20 yrs ago and a friend had a car accident and ended up in an Italian emergency room instead of the army hospital.  The treatment?  A big glass of wine while sitting in the hallway waiting forever to be seen.  Forget the undeveloped countries, they barely have anything.  Even in Britain their facilities are not quite what we expect here.  We are spoiled.
tired
definitely feel the same way. 23 years is long enough. wish i could do something else that made this kind of money.
.......tired!

I get tired of....
being sneezed on.  First of all, it hurts my ears if it is too explosive and secondly, I feel like I need a shower.  Is it too hard to turn your head and/or hold the phone away from your face? 
tired QA
You were "not so perfect" at one time yourself......so unless you have a masters degree, don't be so critical i.e, you have been there yourself. Beside, if it were not for mistakes or uncertainty, you would not have a job either!
Like I said - I'm tired of them not

speaking English to a point where you can at least "partly" understand.  My job is to type what I hear.  I'm not trying to "turn their accent into English anymore!"  -- I don't get paid enough "downtime" to figure this out!  --  Especially at $10/$11 an hour!!!!!


can you tell how tired I am right now
actually, I did not "do" her . . . I did do some work for her though -- and still do sometimes
Tired..
Sure understand your feelings of delight with your grandchild. I feel the same way about my 2 grandsons, and over the years have barely been able to hang onto transcription at home while providing them with everything under the sun to keep them busy while I attempted to work. They also have turned out to be very artistic and creative. They are 11 and 14 now. The main thing for me was a HUGE amount of patience and not getting stressed when they interrupted, just smile and as quickly as possible return to typing. I did "interact" with them face-to-face every 15 minutes for a couple of minutes when they were little, and it seemed to work best when I worked in the same room they were playing in. Of course, at 3 they started pre-kindergarten, so there were 3 free hours to work, then soon enough all-day school. They finally learned to not over-do the interruptions as they got older (one thing was when they understood they get to buy "toys" with the money I am mysteriously making.) I really do not think there is a "balance", I just keep trying. Also I think there is a "bit-of-a-difference" between grandparenting and parenting rules. (If we don't make our kids TOO mad at us!) We really get to do all the good stuff and joy!!
tired of this
This job does render us socially isolated unless we make real efforts to make friends and our lack of friends makes us rather vulnerable too, i.e. husband attacks and no one to come to our rescue. Your husband sounds rather immature and you seem to be in the role of his wife/mother. You certainly deserve a break. My first and only marriage ended because I was in the same situation. Now I am alone but at least I can be free from the tyranny of a man/boy so to speak. It's your call. Weigh the pros and cons and then take some action.
I'm tired of MTs who cannot SM

look up the simplest things and who leave 20 or 30 blanks in a report.  When I was an MT, if I sent ONE job to QA in a month I felt like I failed, but today's MTs have no pride in their work at all.


tired
I've recently been sending applications and resumes to non-transcription companies locally. Guess what. They see on my resume that all I've done for the past 20 years is transcription, and they don't think I'm capable of anything else! It's very disheartening.
Tired of sitting
I can stand to sit for just so long and then I have to get up and move around. Sitting and pounding a keyboard makes me more exhausted than if I was doing something physical. When I am doing something physical, I feel much better and am not as cranky.
