I've been trying to get things taken care of all day, banking, post office, filling out applications and forms for people, but every single thing on my list has something or another to do with the federal government. I forgot about it until I drove all the way to the bank.

Oh I forgot to mention what actually started our argument today...sm
What started our argument today is his mom and dad have been living in this house, if that is what you can call it, for about 20 years...they never cleaned it or anything (his mom said because "why bother when it is hopeless). Well I don't care how small of a house it is it can still be clean. Well, they come into some money, a few hundred thousand dollars, and they go out and buy this 150k house. They say since we are having a hard time with our payment, being 2 payments behind, then we can "have" their old house. The house is on lease land and the floors are rotted. Well I felt like it would take a load of our shoulders and actually I felt like that was the only way we were going to get out of this mess.. We go down there, begin to clean one day....over 3 HUGE Flex bags by Glad of trash just from their bathroom - filled to the rim!!!! Flexed to the max....
I get back thinking of how bad it would hurt to walk out my door at my house for the last time and go live there. So I said, "NO, I will fight for my house. I will work what hours needs to be worked, etc. I am saving my house." He gets mad, because his parents say we are going to lose it anyhow. But hey - they had all of that money...we only needed $1,000.00 - could they not have lent it to us????? But he thought I was wrong for asking after I told him I WOULD WORK TO GET US CAUGHT UP....I said, "well, if my son EVER needs anything like that, especially something to save his home, I will do what it takes to help him...And surely if I had came into hundreds of thousands of dollars, I think I could spare or lend 1,000.
Sorry...I am hurt.
The kids' "holiday" programs at school were full of African and
Hanukkah music, but there wasn't an African or Jewish person in the gymnasium. Everything else was nondenominational. What I want to know is why the minorities have the majority vote? Shouldn't there be an equal amount of Christmas music?
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm
my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away! I checked and the Type It button is grayed out! I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies. Can anyone please help me ASAP? I am lost without it! TIA
Perhaps you are right. This one is dated today. The original article was on Yahoo today also with
But this article states it would only affect new customers right now. So I am upset over nothing. I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge. I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me. It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc. It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.
Whoops...I forgot - cranberry sauce, too. My husband would kill me if I forgot the cranberry sauce!
Blasted cold out today. It was 104 degrees last week, but it's 40 degrees today with rain.
However, I do like cozy days like today when I don't have to go anywhere. I'm done working, the house is clean, there's chili on the stove for dinner already, and I'm just putzing around. I think I'll go bake some jalapeno cheese bread to go with the chili.

you also need to know the animals that you broker. I grew up on a farm so I broker mostly farm animals but have done dogs, cats, birds, etc. You'd be surprised at the "pets" I've been asked to locate, some I had to get on the net and do a crash study.

For anxiety you can minimize the stress if possible or learn to better manage it. I have insurance so I am on medication and just started counseling this time around as I am dealing with a lot right now. Do research if you think that may be it and try to help yourself by teaching yourself stress relievers or taking time for yourself to help until you can get insurance or doctor opinion.
Forgot to say something - so you think somebody somewhere Sm
owes you free music?

I forgot the most important thing. Learn to recognize what is important, what can wait, and what cannot. Dirty dishes, can wait. Laundry, can way. Cleaning house, can wait - unfortunately it will be there when you get done doing life. Doing life - those are the things that you only get one shot at. Got to the football game even if you have to stay up until 2 a.m. to get your work done. Go to the partk on a pretty day even if your house is a disaster area. Play in the rain with your children even if you want them to stay clean. They will not remember how many times you washed their clothes or mopped the floor; they will remember looking and seeing your face as they slide down the slide; they will be able to tell other people how many times you have played outside with them. When we do life, we pass a legacy on that nothing can break. When we do house work, if just has to be done again.
I hope this encourages you. Remember, you will not always get it right, but as long as you learn to say "I'm sorry" and do not quit, you will always be a hero to your children. I know. My 2 kids are now in college and I can see the results.
If you need someone to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, I am willing.
forgot to add....
this is used if you have ShortHand as your expander....use "yo" as your keyword and then type the above entry in the "text to type box"
Forgot a few - sm
Alt+S = Stops audio
Alt+W = Plays current word
Alt+shift+W = plays next word
Alt+F2 = Decreases audio playback speed 5% each time key combo is pressed.
Ctrl+F2 - Increased audio playback 5%.
You can probably get these appendices at Dictaphone Corp website. If not, let me know if you need more help. I have the Correction Editor Manual and a list of all of the Quick Keys.
Forgot that one! (sm)
I never watched it when it was on but I got hooked on the reruns. How many years was that show on? It seems like I hadn't seen enough when they were showing reruns of the reruns I had already seen. That is a good one.
Oh, more I forgot!
I loved Sisters. And remember Once and Again. I loved that!
Forgot one!!!...
Sooner or Later with Rex Smith and Denise Miller from 1978 or 1979. Please tell me I am not the only one who remembers this movie. All the big hair (guys and girls!), short, short jogging shorts with knee high socks (on the guys!) and the jeans so tight it is a wonder they could sit down! Love that movie!
I forgot about that sm
I vaguely remember that movie. I loved Rex Smith. Had my hair cut like his. Soooo cute.
Oh no -- forgot one

oh well, you don't live in that county any longer.....I've known plenty of folks who do this coast-to-coast....

The version I have does have dosages. I would not buy the book, just the CD. I hardly ever crack open a book anymore as it takes literally seconds to hunt for a drug or word in the CD versions. Save your money there :)I did a search on the internet and you guys are referring to the same program I am so I'm not sure why yours isn't working for you like mine is working for me, unless it's the version that is causing the problems?
Forgot . . .
The new girls in our office got their jobs because the school called and asked if they could extern for six weeks - they did not get paid. Then we hired them.
I forgot to add I need one
that I can download instead of wait in the mail for it to arrive.
Oh, I forgot to say something else...
I did contact CityAudio by email and they sent a reply saying that they would be happy to call me in regards to their product. Sounds good. Thanks again MT!

When I play the speakers out loud, without the headset plugged in there are no problems at all. The speakers play just perfect. Thanks.
I forgot to add - SM
this is where you can work using ICs to your advantage. Just as they are not obligated to do the work, you are not obligated to use them. Usually, when they see less work coming, they either get it together or move on. And the latter is for the best if they miss TATs repeatedly, which puts your client relationships in jeopardy. Again...JMO and experience.
BTW, my approaches may sound inflexible, but I must be doing something right; I have a waiting list of experienced MTs, including former colleagues, who want to work with me. And all my clients but two are by client referral.

I forgot to say that we never run low on work.
It is not bad for everyone. I get a little tired of hearing the same tirade over and over. If you are so unhappy with where your field is headed, just move on.

forgot fed
Actually, I figured 43% went to everybody (FICA, state, and feds) based on my 9.83 cpl. Don't know about state, but with 25% coming out you would need (9)/(0.75) or 12 cpl; at 35% coming out you would need (9)/(0.65) or 13.8 cpl.
11 cpl would allow for 19% coming out.
Hopes this make sense.
Almost forgot
If the hospital uses templates built into Editscript, can you say big money real fast! Also there is a feature called samples where all reports at the hospital for a certain time period are stored. So if you have an operative report that is transcription instead of VR, you can search by the doctor's name and cut and paste say a previous lap chole or something and save your fingers!
forgot to say
As far as hourly pay, sorry, but I don't know anything but my own. However, a recent surgery in AHIMA Journal showed an average starting yearly wage of about 38,000 and up to almost 60,000 or more with experience. Keep in mind that is a national average and a lot depends on where you live.
also forgot
we also have a lot of benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, FSA, HSA with company match contributions of to $1000 per individual, long term care insurance, 401K matching, no fees, PTO plus additional sick, nice differentials and holiday bonuses. That's all I can think of, but it's a nice bunch of benefits.
almost forgot
my favorite part, i work the morning shift only on Fridays and the evening shift only on Sunday night.

A really good idea is to make a folder in your Favorites called Physician Names or some such and save each web site you come across in that folder. Or if you have accounts in different states, you could make a folder for each state and put the web site for physicians' names in there along with web sites for cities and states, hospitals, clinics, etc. so that you don't have to search anew every time you look for something.
Sorry, forgot something...
I forgot to tell you, the main way I have been able to increase my speed working in InScribe is to memorize all the keyboard shortcuts I can. I use my mouse only for things that have no keyboard shortcut. I also keep an ongoing list of words/phrases to add to AutoText, and I wait and enter 20-30 at a time, since that is one pain in the rear end aspect of InScribe. I hate the AutoText being so many steps just to add one thing.

I forgot to mention that I am a person looking to get into the MT profession, that's why I was asking.

to keep going to someone in charge of QA (or whoever is higher) to get a final answer for the conflicting corrections. Then stick with that answer no matter what (unless you hear otherwise from them later or someone even higher).
I have even had them change the rules now and then without letting me know(that's always nice!).
Sometimes I think it is actually a bit of a curse to be too conscientious.
Forgot to add ... sm
Don't expect bonuses or incentive pay on salary.
That's something I forgot to add...
we have a several month emergency fund for just household expenses (house payment and utilities, we have no other debt). Our regular savings would NEVER be touched for paying month to month expenses.
forgot
how to defrag, can you refresh my memory, already have spybot
Also, forgot to add that it says a
chiropractor can give the exam, don't think they would be qualified to go breast exams.
