I would tell them to pack sand

In Reply to: most bosses are afraid to stand up to the....sm - I totally agree
With an attitude from a doctor like that, I would refuse to do his work. There is plenty of other work out there, and there are plenty of other MTs out there. I'm sure the doctor could find someone willing to put up with his crap and I could find someone willing to show some courtesy and respect for my time. Again, I admit I am living under a rock, but I just don't see why it has to be so difficult, and why we should have to put up with so much nonsense. We are all human beings, allegedly on the same team, so why can't we work together? Is it a power struggle? If it is, I'll lose becuase I don't need to be the bigger person; I need to be able to understand the dictator so I can transcribe the report.

head in the sand conservatives
and...these head in the sand conservative neocons dont know what they are talking about when they want to blame the victim and her family. Figures, the ones who say they are compassionate christians blaming the victim. Thank God for liberals, the ones who see the forest for the trees.
I hope you raise holy sand! nm

What is your problem?!! You can stay with your head in the sand, or sm
you can check the world around you and do better for yourself.
Anytime anyone says good things on this board, they are shot down with negativity.
Personally, it is fair to say an MT or Editor can charge anything price they want if the client will pay it.
What part of this do you have a problem with?
This response was to the Shocking Math response. Why are you so doubtful all of the time?
coneyisland girl - get your head out of the sand - look around you =
there are parts of this country that are not too far off from that! For god sakes, take a trip to Harlem. Take a look at some of the inner cities in THIS country (remember, the one you work and live in). Take a look at some of the Indian reservations across the country (excluding the whole casino crap stuff) and take a look at some of the small towns, like the ones in Ohio, where people are standing on line just to get food donations because the companies outsourced the only jobs in their towns!!
I cannot believe that the government gives these Indians $600,000 to start a business and does not give the US hardly anything to start a business! Please, I beg of you, do not tell us to pity third world countries. Believe me, President Bush is making sure that they get our jobs and all our business opportunities. So 10 years from now, we will be a third world country.
I'm so upset and hurt by your post that I have to get off this site for awhile.
I'd do a neutral sand/bone color because of the blue
Not heartless...just a bully who likes to kick sand
Please....there is no justification for your behavior, don't try to come here and defend your disgusting behavior. This woman is crying out for real help...not some quick, off the cuff, hurtful remark. I feel sorry for you.
My head is not in the sand - I am a very wise and "shrewd" individual
as far as jobs go. You are entitled to your opinion; however, Dictaphone is not the best VR software out there. I work on the best, and believe me, the hospitals will need MT/editors for a long time. Maybe not 30 years, but I make enough money to put at least 4K away a month, so by the time I can retire, I will have a hefty savings account to live on.
I am getting while the getting is good!
Good luck with your nursing career!
We have a gunite pool as opposed to vinyl/sand liner..
The gunite is definitely more expensive, but lasts much longer. I'm in NH and I see signs for gunite pools starting at 19,900 around here, but I have no idea what that includes. As usual, the advertisement and the actual cost out the door are probably too different things. Also, expect your electric bill to hit the roof even if you run the filter only 12 hrs out of 24. But it's worth it to us... Our kids are pre-teens and virtually LIVE in that thing, so we don't regret buying this house.
I would say pack up and run as far as you can! sm
This guy sounds like my ex-husband. I'm only hoping you don't have children.
My ex is bipolar, OCD, etc., etc., but there was never anything wrong with him. It was always everyone elses fault. I got tired of keeping the perfect little house, the perfect little yard, making sure that he was okay, making sure his eggs were perfectly cooked just right in the middle, and that the kids were okay when daddy was in "one of his moods."
When he started having an attitude with the kids (at ages 5 and 2), I finally filed for divorce. His "punishment" for me has been telling the kids that they are "worthless" because they have me for a mother and that I am "insane". When they started going through their early teen years he just stopped talking to them because they did not live up to his "expectations."
He never went to counseling, but my kids did for many years. He told everyone that his kids were in counseling because their mother was insane. Of course nobody believed him. I see his mom and his sisters out and about a lot (small town). I don't say anything about my ex because I know that it is his family, but they will occasionally say, "Well, you know how he is."
Now he lives alone now in his perfect little house with the perfect little yard and has nobody to cook his perfect eggs. Friends, family, dozens of perfect girlfriends, and his own kids finally gave up on him a long time ago. Even the cat ran away. :)
Pack and run if the "boyfriend" (obviously noncommittal to your relationship) doesn't get help.
Good luck to you.
one can short of a six pack! nm
Service Pack 3
Service pack 3 does not work with my spell check. Does anyone know how I can keep this thing from downloading on my computer?
but, also, now you don't have service pack 3. nm

DQS XP home Service pack 2
Hi there. I have a new computer and run XP home edition which contains service pack 2 and have never had a problem with DQS. My brother, however, ADDED service pack 2 to his older XP professional edition and had nothing but problems and eventually took it off. However, he downloads music and stuff and doesn't really know if the service pack was the problem. (He is not a transcriptionist, so no DQS info there.)
Hi! I'm the one who never has had a glitch, and I'm on XP with service pack 2! Maybe that's
Honestly, it is the fastest smoothest platform one could imagine - seamless, really. Never a problem - sound quality is perfect. I hate to say that, cause I'm not a MQ devotee, but the platform is truly awesome!
Yes - hubby is the pack rat. I throw everything that is not being used out.
After I read the newspaper, it is in the trash. Nothing sits around. Hubby would save everything; however, he works shift work, so when he is at work, I toss things in the trast. My home is neat and clean and everything is in its place all of the time!
Taught my 2 teens to be the same way - Love neat and clean and organized!
My home is not enjoyable if crap is everywhere - in my opinion.
Same here. I just pack my keyboard and plug it in.
There is no way I could be productive on a standard laptop keyboard.
Is there anything that could be changed so it works better with Windows XP and Svc. Pack 2. What a
pain this thing is.
he has been smoking on and off 1 pack of cigarettes for 5 years.
should be good for him.
Wouldn't that pack get stale or something, yuck!
tee hee, that's just frugal I think.
Remove Service Pack 3 and go back to
Service Pack 2. I had nothing but trouble with my computer with SP3. I do not have automatic downloads turned on. I go over to the microsoft.com website occasionally and see what is new for downloading. I choose the custom settings so I know exactly what is being uploaded.
Start
Control Panel
Add or Remove Programs
Find SP3 and remove it.
You need to download the conversion pack from Microsoft
website and then you should be able to convert your documents. Not sure if it will convert from Word 2003 or 2007 to WP5.1; however, WP5.1 can be converted to Word 2003 and higher.
I certainly hope no one in your family ever needs defending. You might pack up and leave them too.

I am so sorry to hear this. I also had a close call with a pack of dogs.
These dogs were a very different breed. They were a spitz type (similar in type to my sweet Siberians, but not of the peaceful pack type). The dogs look like huge Shiba Inus, but when they came at my through the tall grass, it looked like we were being hunted by a pack of hyenas. Four or five of them slipped right through a flimsy excuse for a fence and surrounded me and my two dogs. Thank goodness I was there and was able to keep a cool head to bellow at those dogs to stay back as I stood between my dogs and the pack and we backed away, back to the street. Thankfully some men had heard my initial screams and came out of their yards to meet us. It took a lot of phone calls from me and other people living nearby to force her to give up those dogs. They killed one small dog in the neighborhood and had a child cornered, too. I notice this lady replaced the dogs since with some bigger dogs. Some people don't deserve to have dogs.
I am so sorry for your loss. Do whatever is necessary to secure that fence - we had to bury chicken wire around ours to keep our escape artists in, but it's worth it.
Do get pictures of those monsters outside the owner's property. That was important where we live. You might also want to put up warning signs near the owner's property warning of her dangerous dogs, with photos. Maybe that will embarrass her. Go around and collect stories about these dogs from neighbors, and have them sign the descriptions of their experiences. Then mail those in to animal control with the pictures. If that doesn't do it, call the news station and get them to come and see for themselves.
We mingle with pit bulls at the dog park here, but these are well-socialized dogs. If they ever start acting inappropriate, these owners haul them out quickly, but it's pretty rare they have to.
I'm sorry that should den of lions or pack of wolves. Gotta get the terminology right!

My conversation with you is over. You sound worse than a pack of 6th grade girls.

Norton Internet Security 2009 and Service Pack 2 or 3??
I am having a heck of a time! I have Windows XP and just purchased Norton Internet Security 2009 for my antivirus, as my previous version is just about to expire. Upon installing it it says I have to install Service Pack 2 or higher for it to work. I never installed SP2 because I read that many, many had problems with it. Should I go ahead and download SP3? Is there anything I need to do before installing it? I'm thinking of taking the computer to a professional and having them download SP3 and install it for me because it makes me really nervous! Anyone have any experience with this? What should I do?
Thanks!
No such luck. The tech wants me to update to the XP service pack 2, but I've heard that can be tr

Bag of frozen peas for a cold pack and heat up dry rice in a sock for a hot one. Ah...nm

Exercise isn't the issue here, him lifting leg in house is. Bye, Bye, Pooch, pack your bags.nm

Yeah..call me crazy but I pack it in bubble wrap and pillows..You'd be going a little further so
As far as a laptop, it's a hassle, but you can take that in a carryon bag so you know it would be knocked around. The worst part is that you have to take it out everytime you go through security at the airports but it isnt bad. I just ordered a laptop today so I can start taking that and retire my desktop..that is as long as this new adapter I just bought works like others say it will. My husband is bascially retired and I hated that he could travel without me so I quit my in-house jobs to go home this year doing transcription and now that summer is here and our little one is out of school, we're off and running. Vegas this month, then Calfornia the next..etc... I love this job!!!
NO, this sounds like good training. Dogs are low rank pack members of any family,

Asked on the drug board...ever heard of a T-Teck Pack for pneumonia? Cant find any info on it. Help!
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
Pack years = packs smoked per day x years of smoking - sm
25 pack-years = 25 years of 1 pack a day, or 12-1/2 years of 2 packs a day.
I don't think pack-years applies to someone who smokes only cigars. But I don't know for sure.
Can they do surgery extra fast? What do they do with the extra glove in the pack?
