I power nap for 20-25 minutes a couple times a week - just depends
Posted By: on how I feel- some days I need it, on 2005-10-05
In Reply to: Does anyone finding themselves needing a nap (sm) - CDMT
others I don't. But 2-2:30 is usually my time to have no energy, so it is nap time -- I find when I do this I can stay up later and work, on days I don't I have to go to bed by 10 or 11.

IT only takes me a couple times...
of eating out and then I like my own cooking again. Most restaurant food is too expensive, the portions are too big and it tastes like it was made with no love! Maybe a cookbook with easy recipes would be the answer to the blahs!
I've had it a couple of times.
Doctor gave me a sheet of exercises to do on my own which just amounted to moving my head and/or eyes around in different positions. It can be just a horrible thing to have. Yours is probably worse than mine if you have to "have therapy."
tried doing that a couple of times, still didn't help - sm
thanks for the suggestion. I guess the other thing I should mention is that it is not happening on my other laptop that I use for all hospital work, just my private laptop.
any other ideas as to what it could be??
Did it again a couple times and worked now!!! Thank U!!
so much!! :)
Let your fax machine answer a couple times.

Yes, I'm a smoker. Have tried to quit a couple of times but can sm
never seem to get it done. Would love some to hear success stories and how people have quit. HELP!
Or how about just a circuit around the house a couple of times?
I worked graveyards at hotels for years. When it got really bad I'd get up and walk around the lobby, or get the security guard to watch the front desk for me so I could walk around the hotel. Or do jumping jacks, or do something like an 8 minute Billy Blanks video. Just something to get your blood moving again. I have an elliptical machine that I'll get on for a minute or two or three in the middle of a shift just to get my blood going and to get some circulation to my hind end.
The other alternative is how about actually taking a 10 minute power nap? Do you take a lunch or dinner break in the middle of your shift? Get a little alarm clock you can set and put by your desk and just close your eyes for 10 minutes.
I had a brutal schedule for a number of years where I worked 8 am to 5 pm at one job, went home and took a nap then went to the hotel at 10:30 pm to 7:30 am, went right back to the other job until noon. Then went home and passed out (hopefully) to go back to work at the hotel that night at 10:30. On that first night, I'd sit in my chair around 3 am when it was the quietest and my work was done and just take a nap. I'm really good at sleeping sitting up. The security guard knew not to bug me between 3 and about 3:45. I found that if I got a 30 minute nap then I was good to go for another several hours.
Good luck. Hope you find a solution that works for you.
Task bar. I do this by accident a couple of times a year
and I fix it, but can't figure out what I've done to fix it.
I have my task bar at the bottom of my screen usually, but now it is on the far right and I can't figure out how to get it back on the bottom. I know you normally click and drag, but I can't get it do down, just side to side. I even push the down arrow but that doesn't seem to do it either.
Friend works out of Monrovia - after a couple of times (sm)
of not meeting her quota they called and "chewed her out". Nothing was said about taking benefits away.
Sorry, don't have time. Gotta go run around the house a couple of times. nm
:+
A couple of times a year the suits post as
an MT. I used to work for SS and they were so bad that I can't imagine them fixing all the problems in my lifetime.
ask if there is a charge for local calls. I have had this happen a couple of times. I take an egg

My new job has run out several times this week sm
I have an IC job and the platforms don't collide, so when one runs out, I go over to the other...running both all the while. Today was pretty pathetic with lack of work. I am not worried! It is Sunday...I had my lines for the pay period because I planned ahead and had extra last week.
It doesn't bother me much because truly, my new job has such a good platform and I am doing 250+ lines an hour in this, my second week. If I don't have work all day I will STILL have my 1300 every day AND the 10 cpl I get for my IC work when I am "down."
It isn't like TT where not only did I run out all the time, I mostly got stuck in the crap work. No matter how many hours I worked, I could not get my lines with that stuff (think vascular studies and echoes). I'd have loved an ESL with a long report (think more then 60 seconds). They just didn't have it.
No - you have to walk 3-4 times a week
to keep your back healthy if you are going to sit in a chair 40+ hours a week. I try not to let my weight get too high either, because that really stresses the spine.
Walking is the best for the back. Pilates/yoga and light weights for upper body also very protective.
This has been posted many many times here and really depends on
s
Again as has been said many many times I think it depends on the office and the region.
You have been going 5 times a week for 2 years and have not lost weight? So..
it's basically more than $300/year for social hour? I've been going for 2 months faithfully and didn't lose an ounce until I went back on Atkins this week. It's nowhere near enough of a workout.
I volunteer a couple of afternoons a week -- gives me that social contact I need. :-) nm

Charter down here so many times and I called and complained so much, got apology card this week.
:P
Got that right! Drop the sugars & high carbs and exercise a few times a week. Gotta

45-90 depends on the day of the week - nm

Depends -- usually 2500-3000 lines per week - sm
though where I work does not have a minimum, but they are considering changing that shortly. Still won't be a firm # as they go by minutes, but the min. will be 60 minutes a day which will be approx 500-600 lines a day.
I have 2 middle age couple friends. One couple became pregnant from condom failure.
This is not just "irresponsible" behavior! Both couples are "fixed" now, because for them, reliable birth control was NOT. But it's an error to assume this stuff happens to people who are unmarried or irresponsible. Both these couples are raising 2nd families, now, but it wasn't "irresponsibility" that did them in!
Is there engineer week? Astronaut week? Veterinarian week?

I used to say he nursed for 30 minutes every 30 minutes. I was trying to figure
out a way to strap him across my chest so he could help himself while I went about whatever it was I had to do. I really miss those days too.
ATT- I was paying $320 for 7000 minutes, I am now paying $175 for 5000 minutes in CA. nm

Typically this week is a slow week in lots of places
because it is a big vacation week. Typically things slow dow a bit in the summer too because people are putting off elective surgery, but at the same time lots of people going on vacation so it should balance out.
Lowest runs $900 week, highest $1400 week (sm)

I power nap too!
I doze for about 10-15 minutes, but usually only when I didn't get enough sleep the night before. Usually, a cup of coffee and a quick break and I'm good to go again.
power nap
 Finally got the hang of it and can fall asleep pretty quickly, but now I don't get up with the alarm, cause I know it's going to stop soon, so I sleep through it, or at least wait for it to stop. No discipline? Suggestions?
I was over it right away...he is still in power
 
so you think that shrub has the power to
change Islams into Christians? That is just not going to happen, no more than you could change me into a Muslim! No, he needed to go after Bin Laden, a friend of the shrub family, as you may or may not remember. Do you know that he stole away a bunch of Saudi Arabians out of the US the night of 9/11 or 9/12? His buddies. He had to go after somebody and was not going to be Bin Laden, so he thought, and he thought right, that the religious rightwing would accept getting Saddam out of the way. Now professing to want to bring Christianity and freedom to the Muslim world. OMG, if that is not megalomania, I don't know what is!
girl power
high five
power of attorney
by QA mgr says im supposed to capitalize but i dont agree (so i dont, hehe)
And that's cool...more power to ya!!
And you are quite fortunate to have found what you love to do! Take care!
Yup, real power comes
.. when you do the "right thing", even tho you want to pile all his stuff up, douse with gasoline, and throw the match! Revenge can be sweet in the moment, whether in words or actions, but the regret lasts a looooong time, and it gives him something to throw back at you and your kids. This way, you can be proud to hold your head up and just keep movin' on......
Car power supply.
I use a power converter that you can buy at Wal-Mart for about $35. I keep it in the car all the time.
I take a 10-minute power nap (sm)
When I find myself to the point of not being able to focus, I set my timer for 10 minutes and sleep on the couch. I usually can finish my shift, but I sometimes have to take a little nap again later. I work 5 hours during the day and my last 3 hours from 9 to midnight. Sometimes, I also step outside when it's cold. I hate being cold, so that really wakes me up. No amount of caffeine will wake me up. I am almost to the point of finding just a part-time job during the day because it is hard to be productive at night when all I want to do is crawl into bed. Good luck!
You might need a power boosted USB hub sm
That is, if the one you are using is not. I had this problem with the standard USB hub. IT fella on one of my jobs suggested a buy a USB hub that plugs in, so it has a power boost. No more problems for me. Oh and it was not pricey, I think I paid $20 with shipping and the shipping was half that amount (YIKES).
Power naps.

It's a power issue..

Is anyone familiar with this platform? Is it compatible with MS Word and Instant Text?
Thanks.
I work 6 days a week every other week
Due to my company's payroll (it runs Sun-Sat), I'm able to work a rotating schedule with every other weekend off. Week 1 I work Sunday through Thursday with Fri, Sat, Sun off. Week 2 I work Monday through Friday with Saturday only off. Then I'm back to week 1 and get that following weekend off.
I've found that I'm more productive with shorter shifts and I have kids in school anyway, so I work a lot of split shifts during the week. If possible, you might want to consider cutting back your hours to 30 hours and just work five 6-hour days in split shifts, 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening.
They are predicting 3-5 days with no power. SM
We live 65 miles from Galveston. We shouldn't flood. If the hurricane reaches a 5, which is a good possibility, it will be about a 3 when it reaches us. We have a new roof and no big trees around us. We are cleaning out the garage to put the car in and the dogs. We are wedging the garage door and the windows. We are also putting boards up over the back patio sliding glass door. The living room is the middle of the house, but we have that patio door there. We have no inner closets or anything. It is only about a 1600 SF house. That is why I would worry about a tornadoe. We don't have any renter's insurance or flood insurance. If we stay, we could at least move stuff to higher ground if water started coming in. They freeways are already filling up, and I have to work. I wish there was some way to get my kids to their grandma in Dallas and stay here myself with my husband. They are only 4 and 6, so flying by themselves is out of the question.  I am just going to see what tomorrow brings and then go from there. If it gets to a 5 though, we are going to have to leave.
sorry - power failure - cut off my post!
SORROY - OWER FAILURE CUT OFF THE END OF MY POST!
Don't worry about the little things - she has good parents that are concerned about her. Just make the love, trust and open communication the priority!
Capitalize Power or Attorney or not?
Do acct coordinators have the power to....
knock you off the server so you lose whatever work is downloaded to you and, if so, is this pretty standard practice when they want the work to go to their favorites instead???
I do that, too. I don't like to shower first to power clean
the house because then you get all sweaty with cleaning chemicals all over.
LOL. MT's don't kill people. Not that much power! nm

No problems as long as I have power!...
I use a small local satellite service and occasionally they may be working on it and it disappears for 10-20 minutes, but it isn't often. I find it surprisingly stable, unless of course we're having another one of our too-frequent power outages this winter! But it don't matter about satellite if I don't have my computer! I do though keep a dial-up account as backup so if I need to send files when the satellite is down I can -- but that all depends on your platform and method of sending, I suppose. Good luck! (BTW, as far as use goes, satellite is as faster or faster than cable/DSL, and its great!)
