and he put on a great show.
This was the only rock concert I ever went to, though I have been to a few other artists's shows. I also smelled marijuana burning for the first time there, and some jerk behind me threw up on my shoulder!

Just curious, is your dog a senior? I had a senior dog who had similar behavior. sm
She was a Siberian Husky who was 10-11 yrs old when I adopted her, and I got to have her for 5 yrs before she passed on. She was such a character! I still miss her, and we still talk about her antics.
Anyway, she always seemed to have a hard time at night. She would wake up, pace and pant, and sometimes howl as if calling out "Hey, where is everybody, and where am I!" I'd get up and go comfort her. It was like she was disoriented until she saw me, then she'd be okay and go back to sleep. I used to leave a night light on for her too, thinking it might help. (Her vision was not so good.) Come to find out, my vet said her behavior was probable canine dementia/senility.
I'm dealing with a similar situation now with one of my other Siberians, who is now 15 yrs old. Vet has me trying a supplement called Proneurozone (not very expensive). If that doesn't help there's a med. called Selegiline (sp?) we can try.
I just thought you might be interested, if your dog is an older one. ;o)

AI Concert
I went for the first time last year and got to meet a lot contestants before the concert. I just got tickets to this year's AI show. They put on a great show. If you get the chance, I recommend that you go if you can.
my son in a cowboy hat at a concert!!! Yee-Haw!
I saw them in concert about a year back...
It was at a venue that was tiny, compared to most places anyways. They were on a stage that would spin around. It was so intimate and probably the best concert I have been to. The opening band was awesome too, Lennon. It was mostly just her playing the piano and singing. Awesome, awesome time. And, this is coming from a 26-year-old who loves them! lol
I am a senior in premed now.
!!!
Oh no, senior moment sm
Am I describing the right state? Could I mean Utah? So confused. Anyway, I've been to both states and they are both beautiful.
He is actually pretty nice. I met him when i was 15 or 16..first concert. Have his autograph too!

Anyone seen Paul McCartney in concert this summer?
If so, how was it?
I have an almost 18-yo high school senior..
Here's the deal... You can stay here for free IF you are going to college at least part-time and working, or going to college full-time. Unfortunately we don't have the money to pay for her to go to school full-time, but we can help. If she doesn't go to school and only works, then she pays a reasonable rent to live here (our way of encouraging college).
Her plan: She's going to work full-time 3:30 to midnight at the same place her boyfriend works (nice for safety walking out to the car), and she'll take 2 or 3 general ed classes at the junior college. She plans and wants to pay for them herself.
The rule around here is that they can stay as long as they want or need, but be ready when you leave. Trying to discourage willy nilly moving out and moving back in. We're not a hotel and there isn't a revolving door her. And YES, 18-year-olds are notorious for being full of themeslves. But as I tell my kids, I don't care if you're 25, if I'm paying for your shelter, food, utilities, car, gas, clothes or ANYTHING, then you're still a dependent and will live by my rules. An adult provides for himself and until you're out on your own and providing for yourself, you're not really an adult yet.
When I started MT (30+ yrs ago) our "QA" were our senior (sm)
MTs in the same office, as we worked in-house. Nowadays almost all MT jobs, even entry-level, are at home. If a novice MT has exhausted all of their reference resources and still draws a blank on something, how else are they to learn without corrections and feedback from the QA people. Even at this late stage in my career, I am STILL learning a lot from my editors, and am relieved to have a "second set of eyes" look over work that I'm pretty sure is correct, but not 100%. Medical records are permanent legal documents, and MTs sometimes need extra input on their work. Granted, 20+ blanks indicates a problem, but that MT may not be lazy. She may have been working on a specialty new to her or not yet owned a text for that specialty (there are still 1 or 2 I don't have, either... they're EXPENSIVE!) You can't just walk into MT and be an expert overnight, no matter how much you went to school or how many written tests you passed. It's something that also takes practice. I still sometimes will get a doctor that for the life of me I just CAN'T UNDERSTAND, no matter how much I crank the volume or slow it down, yet other MTs who are used to that doctor consider them easy. I would be willing to bet that if that MT were to continue to transcribe for that problem doctor, in addition to having feedback from QA, AND some decent SAMPLES of that doctor's dictation (one of the best teaching tools there is), she will eventually breeze through it. So QA-ers, give the MTs a break.... our job is much harder to learn off-site than on-site.
Aw, you don't have to be a "pothead" to smoke pot at one concert. I hadn't smoked for 30
and haven't since, but they passed joints around at that concert and I toked, and it was fun. My brain is far from lame. :)
incident involved Rolling Stones concert...NM

John A., Sr. - I would write out Senior, personally.

Anyone see Oxygen concert last nite? Bo Bice, Patti LaBelle
Fantastic
found a senior citizen on limited income,
word of mouth from someone else who uses her. She charges $10.00 an hour and does EVERYthing - including windows, oven, frig, at least once a month, bathrooms, floors, laundry, changes linens, and all surface areas weekly - all in less than 4 hours for 1600 sq foot condo. You might try posting a note on a senior citizen bulletin board in your area or go to a limited income residental facility and post a note there.
After 25+ years in this profession and youngest is a high school senior..sm
There is no way, in my experience, I could meet my quota as a full-time MT with my young children at home under my full supervision. I had to hire a sitter to come to the home or send them to a home daycare during their infant and toddler years. I have always had strict turnaround times and have done every specialty out there. Many of these specialties involved an intense fund of knowledge be acquired during the learning curve, not to mention meeting my line counts. I have been working from home for a very long time, and speaking from my own experience, unless you want to be a part time MT, you cannot achieve the disciplined focus to do the job right if you are trying to care for your children at the same time. If you have a spouse who works opposite shift, wonderful. My spouse always worked the same shift as I did, so for my success I had to pay for child care. My best situation was having a sitter at my house where I knew my children were safe, but at the same time I could lock my office door with strict instructions that I not be interrupted. It was nice to take a break or have lunch with them. My youngest is now a senior in high school, one is a sophomore in college, and the other is a college graduate.
I asked a senior citizen the secret to happy marriage = "Chose your fights wisely."

Saw him on CMT show with John Fogarty. Great, great singer with a neat personality and drop dead
gorgeous without seeming to know it.
Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
Thanks to all. Got some great feedback and ecouragement. This board is great.
My rant passed, ate a late lunch, now back to the trenches.
GREAT GREAT SHOW! I still think Ellen Pompeo
should have gotten the Emmy/Golden Globe whatever it was for the show. I like Sandra Ho, her character just needs more depth... Next week looks AWESOME!! Maybe there is still a chance for McDreamy!! First season DVD coming out with deleted scenes! Can't wait to get it & watch it!!
It is a GREAT company and great deal! I've had
Vonage about 6 months now and I love it. The only mistake I made was trying to keep my original phone # - I wouldn't recommend that. You have a temp # for a while, and the other provider can fight for the old #, etc. Go to vonage. com. They have new features all the time! There is even a new soft phone that is a phone on your screen. You don't need a real phone when working - just headset. It has 800 #s you can have very inexpensively - great voice mail. You get emails when you have new messages, etc. I only wish I had used them a year ago! Nothing but good things to say, and I complain about everything!
Sounds like he will do great then. Again, best wishes for great success!

That's great Patti. Thanks. Have a great time at the beach.

You should feel great as a transcriptionist if they think your work is that great!!!
It is not your fault they approached you. I think it would be a different storey if you were the one searching for the job to take away from a company. They obviously want to get rid of the company and if you didn't take the job they would probably ask someone else. You should enjoy the better position and not feel guilty!!
Great post -great job of wording your answer! (sm)
Original poster - I completely agree with this answer, especially the part about finding yourself and using all that you have learned intellectually and connecting that to something that you will also enjoy with your heart!! You have so many wonderful options for your future - much more than many of us.
IT - great program, great support system. nm

Thanks for all the great advice! You guys are great!

Great job
Hi, I'm interested in finding somewhere flexibile also as I have a little one at home. I'm interested in radiology only. If the place you work for has openings in this specialty could you let me know?? Thanks!
That's great!
I think sometimes people think you are trying to "replace" the dog that died. It's not replace at all, it just helps fill the void. Just like you can never replace a person, you can't replace a pet. They each have their own special place in your heart. Adjustment period - I KNOW!! But it works out. Good luck with your new baby.
great - thanks for this
I've been looking for something like this. Now I have it.
Wow--that's great! Thank you so much
for info
That's great! I like that! Put that right at the
edge of town so noone can hear us scream!
Being an MT is great. Though like with
any job there are going to be issues. If you work in an office, you have to put up with all the crap that goes with it. If you work at home, you don't have to read these boards. There are a lot of negative people in the world, mostly on here! You will have bad days but overall the good will outweigh the bad. I have been an MT for 15 years, 11 of which I have been at home. I have tried going back to an office setting, several times, but have never been happy. I come back home to work and things are fine for a while until the job starts to suck but I get over it. I have children but they go to preschool/school. They do not stay home with me unless they are sick, have a snow day or a short school break. During the summer, they attend camps and preschool. This is not a job to get into to stay home with children. It is a career as an MT, not a daycare provider.
I'd say go for it. You will get out of it what you put into it, like everything else in life! Good luck to you.
GREAT JOB!
I am glad to hear that it worked out -- an IC MT's worst nightmare (I have always had that fear). And extra pay to boot!
Sorry, but not my man. I have a great
husband. We have been married for 23 years. I know he doesn't cheat because he is home every day right after work, calls if he is going to be late, never goes to bars and works his butt off for our family. I'm not saying there haven't been issues but the good in him far outweighs the bad!
You might try giving it another shot. Not all men are scum!
You all are great!

Great
Good for you. Now you need to set your sister straight. I would be so mad at my sister if she did that..I just dont know if I could ever talk to her again, at least not for a long while till she *grew up*. So happy it turned out right for you.
Great help, thanks
s
great pay
Sounds like the hospital I worked for in Florida. We made 18.00 an hour plus 8 cents per line over so many per day which gave us a bonus of around 1500.00 monthly. Those were the days!
Great TL
I must say, my TL is a gem. Of course, everyone else in management bites the big one but my TL is fair and honest. She has to walk a thin line between keeping her team members happy and letting management think she is totally one of them, but she manages to pull it off.
That is so great to know...thanks! nm
nm
Pay is great.
Don't know about others, but just today in two hours I've made $200 - of course THE best dictator is working today so that is not the norm - but my account pays quite well (per report). I started doing radiology when I worked in a hospital - they "made" everyone do it, so thats how I got my start. When Medquist hired me 8 years ago they automatically put me on radiology - initially I didn't want to for some reason - but now I'm glad I did! Don't look for voice rec takeover just yet - radiology is THE most important department most places and they are VERY picky about stuff - I'd say we radiology MT's still have many good years ahead (but then I could be totally fooled and cryin' the blues in a year or two).
Now its back to the fray - still have 6 hrs. to go and hoping "Dr. Wonderful" stays on the entire rest of my shift!
that was great! nm
Thanks so much!!:) Great to be here:)
nm
This was great!
Thanks!
MDI is great
I think MDI is a great company to work for. There is always work to be done, always other accounts to work on if I run out or the account is slow (which is not too often). I was a team leader at one time, but I got caught on a tough account that expected the impossible. Things have improved with the account and I would be willing to try it again. While I was TL, I was always available for the team 24/7. If you have a problem with getting in touch with your TL, call Deb or even Liz (as she is always stating on this board). There is no sense in you not being happy with your job. I really could not ask for a better company!
I use theirs and it is great.
Extremely easy to use and to add to.
Wow-Great job! Thanks. nm
