ARRRGGGGHHH!!!!   It has been raining on and off since Friday. Every half hour, a downpour. We got 6 1/2" yesterday alone and it has been raining cats and dogs all night and every hour or so today. We supposedly are supposed to get 2 more days of this.

There are people that are being evacuated from their homes, people being rescued from their cars, homes are getting flooded, roads closed, and river rescues...

We are lucky. The underground springs only washed out our driveway and the small creek turned into a raging river and flooded our storage trailer, but I feel really bad for the volunteer firefighters. They are getting called out left and right.

On top of this, there have been fires and now the electric is going on and off. PLEASE, someone wave their magic wand and stop this. We are waterlogged.

(Just had to get this off my chest). Thanks for listening. 

The year went by F-A-S-T!  Getting lots of bad weather from Alberto.  My satellite is going in and out - no internet, no work.  Think I'll take a nap!!

He was told to follow up.

He presents for followup.

it! She seems to be doing ok with them so far...she is so young we were worried about her, but so far so good! We live in the country, cats get dumped here all the time..so unfortunate because not all cats can survive as some people think. We live on a very heavily traveled road, there are coyotes, and other hazards for them to avoid! We will keep her and her babies, actually have someone who wants one of the kittens. Mom will get spayed ASAP, babies when ready. We also have 7 other cats, all male, who were stranded out here also, they are getting neutered next week. We have a barn cat/feral cat program in our county so it is a reasonable price for spaying and neutering, plus I am hoping to get a quantity discount!

My other two pregnancies were totally different.  I had energy throughout the entire nine months.  However, this is the first pregnancy that I am actually working from home so I believe that is the difference.

Let us know what happens.

I don't know why it would matter which cable my internet comes through as long as I have DSL, which I do.

Thanks!

personal PC for this - you could get a nasty virus. At least with the company PC, they can fix it or replace it!

I have been an MT a little over a year.  I have multiple acute care accounts ... some easier than others, but usually get a lot more of the ones that slow me down.  I have many dictators and still haven't typed for all of them to date.

With all the various things that I see as a problem from night to night (tired, foggy brained, fumble fingers, etc.)  From what I can tell, it mainly comes down to the report content and which dictators I happen to get that determines how many lines I can type.

I have trouble with some dictating in a goofy rhythm, changing their minds continuously, saying things in the wong place (and having to figure out where I should put it), being just plain difficult to understand, etc.  (Also getting a bunch content I am not familiar with and having to look a lot up.)  I know time and experience is a big factor, but I have been told by an authority figure in the company that many people are faster at this point into their career.

I just don't know how to get past all that and have a consistent line count, and I am losing all motivation when day after day my line count is pathetic.

I use lots of expansions and tweak them when I see a better way.  I am at a loss here and would love any helpful, ecouraging advice.    Thanks!
