    This is sentence I responded to about googling

    I responded earlier to this poster
    I am also an IC for a company I started with in March and confused as to why I would need a credit card for business purchases, etc.
    and that I am not to worry about paying quartly? My accountant told me to do this and that was it.

    I have only been taking 20% out of my pay and sending it in to the U.S. Treasury. Is that wrong? It sounds like I should be doing a lot more. A little confused and nervous.


    I made a typo - sorry! nm

    this sentence by an ESL made me chuckle...

    The patient is 69-years-old and has 6 children so far.


    (so far!!)


    original poster of prayer sentence information
    I am the originator of the post on typing a sentence regarding praying with a patient.  I don't care that he did it one way or the other.  My concern was that I did not believe that it should be part of a dictated medical report.  We don't add patient names.  We carefully word sentences so that the patient is not denigrated in the process and patient care not impacted.  This is not relative to patient care, in my opinion.  I have been doing this job a long time and never had anything like that mentioned in a note before now.  Not at hospitals with definite religious affiliations.  Not when typing for a physician and his staff that regularly do it.  So, I asked a question here.  Based on the responses, it will be the last time I do.  Yes, I do "question' everything I haven't typed before by verifying the word, disease, medication, etc. 
    Yeah, Dano, the poster I responded to was sure deserving of "kid gloves". Give me a break.
    Everyone hates editors, everyone hates QA - it makes no sense, but that's the way it is. Period. If you are sweet to them and helpful, they stab you behind the back and freak when they get called in their errors.  If you are calm and blunt, they freak. If you are abrupt and to the point, they freak. If you send the masses emails saying Howdy, they stab you behind the back and diss you. Yet, we won't mention that they write us sweetly back!! And if we don't send them Howdy emails, they stab us behind our backs and complain that we don't write them. We do write them, per their own wish, and they complain that we're harassing them.  NOT.  The intelligent MT is the one who recognizes we all make errors, recognizes that editors are to catch errors and that it is our JOB to point said errors out to them - not a personal power trip. As I said, intelligent MTs recognize such - however, on this board there are not many who will fall into the above category. You'll see more in a second - flaming away!!  And the same nasty MTs wonder why they never get anywhere? Why they always get the crap dictators? Why they never get raises? I wonder.
    Hey you made a typo. Why would you go backwards? Cause you don't like your job.
    That's why people don't like editor. Read between the lines. This editor/poster feels it is going "backwards" to be an MT. I rest my case.
    Thank you for "pointing out" a correction on a typo I HAD ALREADY MADE

    oops I made a typo...an important one...sm

    that should've read *NSA/BUSH spying on 100,000+ million Americans...........one-third of the country*


    sorry, I had a long workday..... 


    I made a card with a nice close-up photo of hers printed oblong-shaped with a red background, a huge
    blank space beside the photo for my message written in silver ink, and some pressed tiny flowers to decorate the edges, then I laminated. She was so proud to show it off to her friends. (You might want to use this idea next year, maing sure you press small flowers first, or you can think of other decors).
    Tiny statements from a tiny mind.


    We are trying to figure out how to get out of this screwy place without being screwed any more.


     


    Are you joking?nm
    zz
    You are joking, right!
    Calcaneocuboid joint and talofibular joint is correct and has been correct for the past 30 years I am doing this. We didn't call them O connecting words for nothing.
    No I am not joking

    Work for a company right now who has lots of accounts with NO ESLs....however I am tired of no paycheck on time and the excuse of the clients not paying so they can't pay us for the work we have done.


     


    Are you joking or serious?
    If serious, would you like to share?
    Please tell me you are joking!
    .
    I really was joking
    when I posed it as a question.  It's amazing the stuff the docs say, that we're supposed to catch.  And more amazing is that if I had typed it without questioning, he signed the report without actually reading it and catching the error, which of us do you think would be in more trouble? 
    the thing is, I'm not joking
    The most wonderful room I ever painted had three very light robin's egg blue walls, one very pastel mint wall, and a raspberry racing stripe of varying widths. The room made everyone smile - the colors shifted as the sun changed position - I loved it!
    naw...you must be joking *ROFL....SM

    Of course more than just gay people have AIDS/HIV........sheesh -


    I was specifically talking about the GAY community going to Mexico in the early 1980s.........nobody else.


     


    I WAS only joking, I'm a yr older than U..sm

    Sorry if I offended you, I was joking because I'm older and I do read many blogger sites of much older, more journalistic type writers, and famous people who are also bloggers.


    Again, sorry for any offense taken, none was meant! 


    Please, please, please, tell me you're joking.

    tiny font
    Something is wrong here. It sounds like this board shows up in huge font on YOUR end, but it is about an 8 font on my computer. The main board, job seeker's board, and compary board show up tiny for me, but the other boards look about 12-14 font, which is MUCH better!
    I have that setup and may have tiny lag...
    but its only a bit more than I had using wav pedal without Vonage. I do find the C-phone pedal to be a different cat from my wav pedal, though, and not very fond of it! Mine has gone psycho a few times and does its own thing, totally unresponsive to controls. As they aren't too expensive I may just replace it at some point with another used one and see what happens. If your C-phone is not new, you might cosider replacing the pedal to see if that helps. I have been told the pin-plug setup is very sensitive and easy to disrupt. Good luck!
    What about those of us with tiny apts. - sm
    either 1-bedroom or studio? On what we make, that's often all we can afford. If they want me to have a separate room or screened-off area for my workstation, they're gonna have to:
    "SHOW ME THE MONEY"! (Or else do they mean I have to turn my tiny, 5-foot x 6 foot bathroom into a home office? I supposed I could fit a tiny little desk and a laptop in front of the toilet, and then sit on that to do my work.........
    I think she was joking? ageist like sexist maybe? (nm)
    c
    I would tell her this and not be joking, but show her some frustration
    I would tell her that the clients are not going to pay for jobs that are not turned in when they are supposed to be turned in and that you need someone that is going to transcribe the reports and have them turned in on time because you are losing money paying her to transcribe reports that the clients are not going to pay for because they are late. Surely, she will understand. Either she has the jobs returned on time or you are going to have to let the client go or hire someone else to transcribe and return the jobs in on time and if she keeps it up, tell her that you lost the account because of jobs being turned in late and that you do not have any other clients available for her to transcribe.
    Hope you're joking...nothing more need said. nm

    Sounds like tiny penis but not..lol

    its not tinnitus, I have tried spelling tiniapitas


    this has something to do with frostbite cold weather, HELP ANYONE


     


     


    Stay tuned Tiny. It gets better.

    My vet is teeny tiny. When she got pregnant with her last

    baby she gained 60 pounds.   She probably weighs 98 soaking wet.   Anyway, her doctors put her on either Relacore or Cortislim and she lost the weight.   I have an overweight dog due to a disease and she said they are testing these drugs in dogs to see if it will help so I think there is some basis for it.  I took a drug similar that is supposed to block cortisol (can't remember the name, but it was cheaper) and it did help with my belly fat and soon I had to get new jeans because the ones I had  I had a handful of material on each side of stomach that hung down in my crotch area and it was very uncomfortable.  I even tripped once because I tried to step up over a low stone wall and there was so much extra material it constricted my leg movement and I wasn't able to lift my leg high enough. 


    I am an emotional eater but I don't have problems with an overactive appetite, meaning I'm not ravenous all the time, never have been. 


     


    I've just heard a tiny bit, but...sm
    apparently Fusion also offers a transcription platform. I was just trying to see if there might be some comments on that. I appreciate your response.
    you're joking right? Celine? better than Babs?
    Celine HURTS my ears!  OUCH!
    The font is very tiny for me. It never used to be this way. It suddenly occurred and nothing I do

    for sleep, trazodone is better. It's an old antidepressant that's not really good for anything other than putting you out. However, if you need to wake up in the middle of the night (small children, etc.) you can pop right out of sleep and it doesn't have the hangover effect like benadryl or Xanax. So maybe ask about trying that. And I know, maybe I spelled trazodone wrong but I don't have my spellchecker on this board LOL!


    After 15 years of being treated for depression on and off, and severe anxiety, I finally found a wonderful therapist. He got me out of a chronic low grade depression without any antidepressants AT ALL which I would have bet could not be done. So maybe think of that, too?


    one of mine is tiny - nearly died from renal
    failure last year - and in the process of trying to get weight on him and leaving food down his brother is up to a whopping 17 pounds now - he would give me lower extremity circulation problems!!
    The tiny lettering was difficult for me to see and no pictures! LOL sm
    I'm kidding about the pictures.

    Do you think its handier to have the book on your desk or the program at the click of a mouse? Thanks for your reply!

    My cat veterinarian authorized us to use cat Frontline on our 5-pound tiny toy poodle
    She said it goes by size and he's the size of a small cat.
    Get involved? With AAMT? You've got to be joking. What an incredible waste of time.
    It wasn't ALL that and it was expensive no matter.  I'm sick of hearing the same old blather and seeing NO change that benefits AMERICAN MTs.  I'm in California so it was nothing for me to hop from the mainland, but EVERYTHING on the Hawaiian Islands is expensive.  Of course, the Modesto Mavens were there in all their AAMT glory. Can you say PUKE?  Sorry, but that's the way I feel about it.  I went to see if anything had changed, REALLY changed, and most of it was a big bunch of double talk.  Oh, and to think that I actually thought that I might interject in conversation!  Boy, was I wrong.  I'll never attend another AAMT convention again in my life. What a waste of time and money.
    i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
    that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
    I have IE set to display text size as largest, yet this font is so tiny I can barely see it.

    Most men can't hear the tiny tings, noises that cars make, and things like
     an alarm clock.  A doctor I used to work for did the same thing in the bathroom too.  But, I never heard a plop! Thank Goodness.
    She's tiny, cute, rich, famous, drug free, and a great singer.
    Oh, what a horrible person!  (sarcasm)
    Good one. An anonymous poster blows another anonymous poster's head off. Great win for MQ?

    I guess that is a small pleasure for those of you who have lowered your expectations for the company you work for. 


     


    Bet you're married to a fat bald guy too. 


    to see if anyone has responded to her
    Just ignore her - maybe she'll go away.    Just wants our attention.
    Thanks everyone who responded...
    Just wanted to thank each and every one of you who took the time to respond and share your experience.  Some of you really made me feel calmer about things!  Those of you with negative experiences, I still appreciate your input.  Again, thanks.  I'm going to try it, and we shall see, shall we not?  Have a great day everyone.  Becky
