Read a boring book or watch something boring on TV.
Sometimes I go to bed so tired, but by the time I get in bed I'm not sleepy. I do one of the above and 15 minutes later I'm asleep. My DH works third shift so he isn't there for me to bother him, may not be an option for you.
Carter - god, I'm old

Carter was I think 1979 - not old at all.....nm
Carter was in 1976 to 1980... FYI. nm

that is so incredibly LAME!
but the difference is that i happen to keep a better attitude, and if it goes south, i start looking for better pastures.
They work INCREDIBLY well, BUT...
You're not supposed to use them until AFTER you've had a cleaning by your dental hygienist. The reason is because the strips can only whiten what they come in contact with. You might think there is no buildup on your teeth, but there is usually some for us all--especially between the teeth! I have heard of people using the strips and getting white teeth all outlined in yellow!
I used the strips after a cleaning, and I have to say they worked better than I ever dreamed they would!
You are so incredibly lucky!
I got my first gray hairs at 22 flippin years of age, courtesy of my mother who also grayed early. At least I inherited my dad's bone structure with high cheekbones so I guess it all balances out.
It's how incredibly arrogant this administration is!
How can you trust anything that comes from anyone in this adminstration's mouth? Starting at the very top!! I can NOT wait until his dictatorship is over. I am really praying that the Democrats get back in office. I can not stand the Bush administration's air of superiority. I don't appreciate being made to look foolish on the world stage. Bush and his cronies are an embarrassment to this country. I can not wait until their regime ends!!
Singapore - incredibly beautiful. nm
that was an incredibly rude reply don't you think? nm

How incredibly rude! Gross! nm

I think it is incredibly kind and sensitive. I
don't think it unprofessional at all, especially if the patient and/or family are religious. I hear something similar on occasion.
Incredibly it is. Check other jobs on mtjobs.com. A few are in the 9-10 cpl range. nm

What an incredibly fruitless effort. People, you need to realize
The chance to have done something has long since come and gone. Just give it up.
I get fight or flight feeling socially whenever I am around incredibly dumb people and I don't wa
Am I sick? I don't want to socialize with idiots. What's wrong with me. I hate small talk. Should I see a doctor?
Here I sat feeling so incredibly lonely. Wishing I could meet my soul mate
All the men I have ended up with sound like the guy you are with. Takes all the courage I have to pick up and leave them but staying with them destroys my sense of self esteem, my sense of humor, and dulls my passion for life.
Now, sitting here, quietly, sipping a capuccino, sitting in a robe, having no expectations (unrealistic) of me, not having the guy in my world stifling me or doing something out of this world to send my spiraling into my mind trying to figure out what he is thinking ...orrr the always present poor financial state that I always seemed to end up in when with a guy (my dad was alcoholic - had tendency to be with men who had character traits of addictive personality types)and all I can think of is life is passing me by cause I am not with a man.
There are worst things than being alone. Why do I forget this???
Follow your gut. Your kids will thank you. Children deserve a happy mom and you deserve to live the life you envision.
Was going to suggest that you wait to buy as I have a feeling some homes will end up in foreclosure as the interest rate increases and the monthly payments on ARMs and interest only loans increase, but if you have a small town that may not be the case.
Let us know how things go.
You're incredibly fortunate. Many of us aren't even getting offered 8.5 cpl for years of exper

Wow someone who thinks outside the box
call the media!
Too many are too willing to give up the tiny bit of privacy remaining...
The doc who thinks
every new sentence is a new paragraph and/or the one who says 'period, new line' after every sentence. Is this a really pervasive dictating annoyance? Or is it just me?
As one who does QA and thinks
the quality of US MTs is POOR, POOR, how do you find the offshoring MTs work to be? I mean this seriously.
I read on and India site that it only took weeks to be a MT.
Sometimes when I am working I think there is no way an Indian MT can do this.
So, how do they measure up? What is our competition really like?
Am I the only one who thinks this odd?
Job post stating they are looking for really good QAs and would be willing to hire newbies for this position............ 
Frankly, I don't think I would care for a newbie, who basically is still learning themselves, to be put in charge of QA of my work, especially if THEY have it all wrong, due to lack of experience, and that counts against me!
No. Someone who thinks they are "cute" is having fun
trying to derail the thread and irritate others.
COokies are done! Pouring the milk!!
Goodnight, the real Laurie and the real Michelle! I've had fun!!!
Curdled milk and burnt cookies to the silly ones trying to upset everyone! LOL
Mig was too pretty for them. Am I the only one who thinks (sm)
that Marty looks like a drug addict? 
Anyway, I think they made a good choice.
Me thinks you have burned one too many..
I'm also in agreement with the movement to legalize marijuana, but come on--do you think this group shares your views? Save your passion for the petitions.
she thinks it is "cute"
Ever know one of those women who thinks it is cute to curse? I feel like she probably has not always been this way. She seems to try to use them for dramatic effect. She only knows 5 of them but every time she says a curse word she says it louder than the rest of her sentence. It is about as cute as Grandma cursing. Ugly, ugly, ugly. Thanks for the advice.
Just wondering what everyone thinks about this...
I work in the office. We are being taken over by a larger hospital. The larger facility is putting their people in the management positions, which is fine. At our smaller hospital, we have not had the opportunity to work from home, but with the merger, the plan is to send us all home to work by the end of the year and I think that is fabulous! What concerns me is this, they watch their at-home people like hawks. They actually print out a daily report on each Transcriptionist (40+) that lists every single job they did that day and how long they spent in each report typing. So, say you have a 5 minute H&P and you took 30 minutes to type it, they basically call you up and want to know why it took you so long to type this report. Their reasoning is they pay us hourly and they don't want to pay us for sitting at home watching television. I completely understand that, but I am a very productive MT and really don't like the idea of having to account for every minute of my day if I am producing at least the minimum. Having said that, they also offer a very nice incentive plan where we get a per line rate for anything above the minimum. So why the need to micromanage like they do?
In my opinion, if your people are producing at least the minimum and if you have a very competitive incentive plan in place, then why not just check productivity on everyone at the end of each pay period and counsel anyone not producing at least the minimum and if necessary, take disciplinary action and just leave it at that? Why check every single report to make sure we aren't taking too long on one report and risk upsetting your productive MTs who maybe got distracted by a phone call or something on that one report, but still produced what they were supposed to produce when the day was done?
I've been looking around at other jobs just to see what is out there and have lined up some very promising prosects, but none that offer an incentive plan comparable to the one at my current job. I just wonder is the incentive money worth the added stress of having someone virtually looking over my shoulder all day long? They are definitely sending the message that we are going to be asked to justify every bathroom break, every sinle distraction throughout our day, no matter if we get the job done or we don't.
Just wondered what insight other MTs might have on this issue.
Just wondering what everyone thinks
Like you said, you are a "very productive MT." I wouldn't worry about it. The ones who should worry are the ones who screw off. This will be a new venture for the hospital and they will watch very carefully for a while to see how it goes. As long as you are meeting the requirements I wouldn't be concerned. Give it a try and see what happens.
Thanks, misha! My DH thinks that
it would help clear up DS's skin if he sat in the sun some every day, or even used a tanning bed as someone below said, although I'd be worried for him to do that because he has light skin, light blue eyes and blond hair - it was so light it was that white-blond when he was a baby/toddler. So obviously he has very fair skin and features so I worry about the risk of skin cancer.
But your link sounds like something different and I will check that out. Thanks for taking the time to research for me!
Finally someone who thinks like I do! sm
I never understood how Bucky even got in the top 12! What drove me nuts the most was was his inability to speak clearly! I really laughed when Ryan said "I have no idea what you just said" and when Kenny Rogers said he needed to enunciate or the song wasn't going to make any sense.
Bucky just really had a skeevy look to me...like I wouldn't leave a child alone with him.
Me thinks you are way off base.
You may want to find a new career. When you refer to drop in for an hour or two, you are speaking about ICs who in no way are any less professional than you are working from your home as an employee. Some MTs work from a typing pool meaning they can take a job at a time and make money in that fashion as a contribution to the household (paying bills I might add). Many professions offer at home employment. We are not the only ones. I think you have a bad attitude and should probably find somewhere else to drone in your sorrows. Many of us here are professionals even at home with a husband and children. It kind of sounds like you are jealous about husbands that make money and have insurance. You may want to re-think what you are saying in regards to MTs working from home and not being considered a professional. In my experience, my friends and relatives are envious of my being able to make a living from my home office, so I'm not sure who you have that talks about you to where you cannot defend yourself, but that is usually a psyhiatric entity called paranoia. Sorry to say, but you make as much as you'd like as long as you can "hang with the big dogs". If you are not making enough money, then that is for you to either take some courses in typing and anatomy or just go with the flow. To blame at home MTs is way off base.
BORING!!!
Sand or tan walls, okay, if you want drab and boring go with sand and tan walls
Might be boring but
I'll take boring over nasty any day. I guess to each his/her own.
They are boring -
:(
It's no more boring than anything else.
MT will always be boring....
because it is a dead end job with no future. Try studying something that will provide a better living.
BORING...

Not boring!
I have to say that it's not boring! I learn something new every day, even after doing this for 20 years. I think if you look at other professions other folks are griping too. It's all a matter of attitude! Make it work for you! It does pay the bills!
Not a big fan, went there twice & boring.
not everyone thinks nationals are awful.
i have worked for 4. two were terrible, one was okay, one great.
the one that was okay and the one that was great made you put up a deposit on the computer stuff and if you didn't get it back to them in good shape they kept it. i think that is fair. costs a lot of money to do that.
all 4 of the companies i worked for checked references. i had to test on terms, meds, and then do a transcription test for 3 of the companies.
the 2 that were terrible - i just did not like their software (1 sent me a computer that wouldn't work so they sent another one and it wasn't very fast at all). it wasn't really anything they did. i just didn't care for how their stuff ran.
i think all of them are decent companies. beats the hospitals i've worked for. beats getting in the car for a drive everyday in pantyhose and heels and listening to coworkers gripe about what they're not getting and having to work when they want you to.
she thinks she is "the mama"
riiiiiggghhht.
Me thinks 5th graders would think it's really dumb. nm

I have been doing this for 12 years and still to-this-day my sister thinks she can just come over
to my house any time and visit while I am working !!!!! . I know they think, Well, she is just typing, she can do that any time. Taken for granit is right and I have tried and tried to re-educate people on this but get nowhere. I just end up being the bad guy for not offering to baby sit or something. Well, you will be there, can they just say with you. I think I should have sent my 6- month -old to my sister's house one night (when he was 6 months-old) after crying all night with colic, and said well, you will be here, can he just stay with you.. You can't sleep when a six month old is a different house especially if he is sick and you can't work either!! DUH!
Just annoyed that he so smugly thinks I will be - sm
unemployed in the near future! You see, I have been happily married for 8 years and despite great effort on his part, he has not been able to cause many problems. My daughter has next to nothing to do with him because of the way he treats her. He really just wants to see us unhappy and in a bad situation.
Who thinks Mick Jagger is still hot??
she should look at apply for section 8. I thinks its through the
housing development of the city she resides.
my family thinks the same thing...
I even had a friend call me the other day (who I thought understood what it is I do all day) asking if I could get his significant other a job because he does medical billing and can type fast...LOL...I guess no one will understand the working at home aspect except those who actually work at home....
Consulting dr. doesnt say but says he thinks
