coupe in my garage, all original. My husband bought it 2 years ago for 1200.00, cleaned it up, put the original color on it. Runs like a top, still the original tires. Had it appraised for $15,000.00. Can't beat that. It sits next to his 79 corvette. Mine's purtier, though.

Well, the mustangs in the corral always have food, water, and shelter from the weather. Guess you should look at it that way. 
LOL ! Mustang, here you have your humor...nm

65 Mustang..you found MINE???
Awwwwwwwwwwww. those were the days...my 65 tang was a rag top, cruising the local burger joints with the curbside service , checkin out who was there, who was with who and who should'nt be with who , getting all the dirt for the next week of school....mine was gold with a black top, 3 speed and I miss it soooooooooo much if i remember correctly, we could dig for small change, say 4 quarters and a few dimes to fill the tank enough back then also, to get where we needed to go
Love my 2005 Ford Mustang!...

I'll let you off the hook since you're also a Mustang lover.
I just like the '67s and '68s better because they're a little bigger and more rounded in the body style than the earlier years. I dreamt of owning a Mustang for 20 years before I got one.
1965 Ford Mustang and a 1977 Chevy corvette
along with the 1997 Intrepid. The Stang is mine and the vette is hubby's. He got them real cheap (under $4000.00 for both) and fixed them up.

I would not beat yourself up on it - sm
I have done the same thing/similar on a few reports. I took over an account from one lady and for probably a month half the letters would still have her initials on them depending on which computer I was on....I forgot to fix the template on my laptop. I sent a report through with the wrong Dr. name just the other day; but luckily I was able to go the the FPT, delete it and fix it and re-upload. I also left out the word "to" in a letter, so I went back and fixed all the ones that they had not retrieved as yet (about 15 of them). I have also sent through a letter once with the salutation wrong...whoops, I figure they caught that one though when they went to pring it out. I did fix the copy we kept in our records though. But when I spot a mistake after the fact I always let my supervisor know. It has never gone against me and they appreciate the heads up so they can fix the problem, and believe me you will never make the same mistake twice (or at least not as bad the second time).
OK, you got me beat.....LOL
I live in Michigan....only 10 here today..>BUT< Windchill is -15. Stay warm now. I sure am trying. LOL.
Don't beat yourself up! sm
When you start a new job, you are fighting everything...formats, platform, new voices, account rules AND you are trying to get up to speed as soon as you can. THIS is the time when we all make the silly and thoughtless mistakes that we have carefully learned to avoid, or so we thought. This is why QA exists.
It takes time to get every little thing under control, no matter how much experience you have and how careful you are. Your brain can only handle so many problems at once. Pick one to tackle for a few days at a time until it locks into your brain and move to the next one. Change your Expander for these spelled out things (see below) and do the best you can. It WILL get better. You are only human.
Since I have accounts that are b.i.d. etc. and ones that are not, I have left the bid=b.i.d. and gone to bidx=twice a day. It was surprisingly easy to get the hang of that, believe it or not. I think it was because I didn't have to hear "B-I-D" and think...oh right twice a day.
Wow! You got me beat. I do remember. . .
The financial office I worked in that went "computerized" and there was like one mainframe and you had to save your stuff on this HUGE floppy that was about the size of an LP and carefully walk to the mainframe at the other end of the building so that static from the carpet wouldn't "shock" the info off the floppy.
Only one printer too and that was in the basement. You had to stand in line. And we thought we were so state of the art. But actually. . . .we were!
Got you beat...check this out
I am 4'9" tall (short) and I can definitely relate to your problem. Never use top shelves...never have!
Don't beat yourself up or second guess your
decisions. You love your dog, and made decisions based on what you believed to be best for her. As for spading/neutering or not, it seems to just be fate or whatever. I have had spayed dogs die young of cancer, or died young of other problems. In general, I have had more luck with not neutered or spayed dogs than vice versa. So much is in the bloodlines of our dogs - unless you breed them for generations, you just don't know, and so much of it is genetic. So I personally believe our dogs are predisposed to certain ailments, just like we are - and try as we do to prevent things in our pooches, its gonna happen anyway. No what I mean? There also is a lot of controversy over neutering and the ages to have it done. I personally believe in having it done after the dog matures - it does stunt growth cycles, usually unseen in females, but observable in males. I know in Europe, many dogs are not spayed or neutered, and European dogs have longer life expectancies than US counterparts. The whole neuter/spay campaign in our country had so much to do with the responsible pet owner thing and to stop unwanted pups, etc. I understand how you felt - you knew your dog was not in danger of having an unwanted pregnancy! Sounds like you were/are a wonderful dog owner! I'm sure you made all the right decisions - when you begin to doubt, just think of something happy - block it! 
In a heart beat
Am currently trying to get on with them.
I have you beat in years by
23 years and I make nothing as compared to what I did in the past. I make 4C for editing and 8c line for straight. I am fast so I still bring home what I want on my paycheck and do not want to increase my hours at this point in time. Like I said, a lot of the companies you will speak to want certain times and days for you to work. Think I have only seen 1 post where any different but give it a go.
No need to briar beat yourself...
I haven't been in the field nearly as long as you have but I did psych for approx 5 years, got fired from my inhospital job, came home and started taking care of my aging/bedbound mom and started working from home. I tried others with OP's, and signed on with a couple of companies to realize that I really did not know all that I thougfht that I did about transcription. After about a year I was able to land a job b with a psychiatric hospital account...Wow...even so, I still don't know alot of things. It is ever changing but I love it. I feel like a turtle at times but hey I get the job done....I am sure that you are a great Transcriptionist and your speed will increase as mines has but it is like going to rehab and learning to walk all over again, we fall down but we get up...believe in yourself.....
If You Can't Beat Them Join Them
There's an old saying which says "If You Can't Beat Them Join Them" I dunn think any of us can stop outsourcing and I dunnt feel there is any point crying over loss of income. So I have followed this ("If You Can't Beat Them Join Them") and I did't lose a dime as the companies outsourced big time. I have myself started taking 100% more work than before and am outsourcing them to individuals in India (the quality generally is good) who does the transcribing (obviously I get the work done at a much lower rate than what I myself get paid). By doing so my hourly rate works out even higher than anno's
One way to beat the high gas prices...
Gas prices drive man to commute by horse
By Associated Press
MINOT, N.D. --Jim Jundt was so determined to rein in his spending on gasoline that he got out of bed early and rode his 14-year-old quarterhorse mare to work.
Jundt lives 15 miles south of Minot and works as a mechanic at Goodyear Tire & Auto Service in the city.
He said he and his co-workers had been talking about rising fuel prices, and he joked that he would ride his horse to work if gasoline ever hit $3 a gallon.
His co-workers laughed, but when the price at the pump soared to $3.20 last week, Jundt headed for the barn.
He said he was only five minutes late riding his mare, Patty, to work.
While he worked, Patty waited patiently, eating hay out of the back of a truck.

Line counts -sm - beat ya
 Hey since everyone is bragging I just did 563 lines in 2036 minutes -- sorry had to put that in but it is true but I forgot to sign off my document on as I went to bed. Guess I don't make the 2000 club in the last 24 hour period.

Right! Andrew is top notch! You can't beat it!
They will work closely with you. Both places she mentioned are great. They turn out such great MTs that all the nationals will be running into each other breaking down your door in the desire to hire you. I know when I graduated I had three call me in one day alone! Let us know how it all works out, okay Dumbfounded? Best wishes, good luck, take care and all that other good stuff.....
Ears now beat red and they are off for good.
My ears are not beat red and killing me. I love the NC and they help quite ambient noise even with the feature off but wowzers. Back to my cheapos for me. I may try the Koss headphones and see if they are any better. Hubby is not working so he gets to do all the running. He is going to kill me.
