First day blues
I started training my first day yesterday, no phone conversations, just numerous emails and templates/samples that were kind of confusing and had extensive header information that needed to be completed. Well, I went in under the wrong number on the system, not routed work and there were some formatting problems as well but it was my first day.
Well, I was happy when I finished, thought my work was good and all was well in the world only to wake up this morning to a really rough email. I know I made some formatting mistakes but geesh, it was my first day and this is training. I emailed and said how sorry I was for the misunderstanding on my part, explained how it would not happen again (and believe me it won't, I'm not the type to make repetitive errors), well that was this morning and I've heard nothing from the company since then, I've left three emails and a phone message (nobody picked up the phone on their end) and now I don't know what to think. I would hate to think I got canned on the first day for formatting! Content was fine.
I thought training was to work out the kinks...expecting all wouldn't be perfect, there is a learning curve. I'm so disheartened. Sorry for venting but maybe you all feel my pain.
First day blues
Oh honey, been there, done that!!! No feedback but lots of criticism...I'll bet when you were hired the company told you something like "we have wonderful QA process with lots of positive feedback, always available, etc. etc. etc..." Hope it gets better soon, otherwise, find new job. Too many companies out there to put up with crappy ones. Best of luck to you.
I am going thru the blues...sm
anyone else has just been so depressed lately? Every springtime I get that way. 
we will be singing the blues
They wont be crying the blues.they already have hired more than enough transcriptionists and from what I surmise, as my doctors now spell EVERYTHING, they hired newbies or not to swift MT's. What we need is a union, however, in the past the minute union is talked about, many MT's backtrack and say..they dont mind the decrease in pay, they like working out of their homes and dont want to change anything..yada, yada, yada..
New system blues
We recently had a computer upgrade at the hospital where I work and we are having multiple issues. We are using Word 2003 in conjunction with Dictaphone Enterprise Express. First, does anyone know how to load the medical dictionary into the spell checker so that it pulls words from that dictionary? The spell check is stopping on almost every medical word and driving us all crazy! Secondly, the command CTRL+shift+spacebar is not keeping words together like it used to on our old system. Anybody have any clues as to why? Also, if you create a macro it will work fine until you sign off of word client, and when you sign back on, its gone. Any help would be appreciated...it has been a long 2 weeks! TIA.
Roadhouse Blues by the Doors!!
Post-pay period blues...
I simply cannot get motivated today! I always feel sluggish and lazy just after a pay period, especially on the first day of a new one. I worked so darn hard yesterday to have a decent paycheck that I'm, well, too pooped to punctuate! Anyone else have this malady?
I call what Eric has little dude blues!

I'll be honest.. my 1-year-old watches Blues Clues...sm
She is really good. My husband and I both work nights. She is 'on her own' for about 2 hours... watches 'Bluestock' - an 1.5 hour Blues Clues episode... plays a bit.. I take a break to get her ready for bed and get her in bed... and back to work. It's hard work but who can afford daycare on a transcription salary? I'd be working just to keep her in daycare!
Besides, I don't trust daycare providers and I'd rather her watch TV where I can see her than send her off and not know what is going on.
okay, now I'm crying (sm)
Thank you so much for sharing that. That is beautiful. I have already posted about missing my children, and long hard weeks away, and wanting to be home. That poem is how I feel some days...

Me, too! Now I can't see cause I'm crying! Too funny!
Okay, guys, we all have to go! Michelle and MomMT, its been a very nice pleasure meeting you both!! Really, I had a great time, which does not happen for me often on here!! Thank you, both, and have a GREAT night!! Or a great day tomorrow! I'll cover your backs while you're sleeping...
Then for CRYING OUT LOUD.....
Let HIM worry about this. How and why do you think it's YOUR problem!! They're paying you to transcribe, not to breast feed/babysit them. Learn to pull that monkey off your back and put it on the back where it belongs, would you?????????????????? I swear, this is the last air head post I'm ever going to read or respond to on this ridiculous board. 
Oh, for crying out loud, let it go. nm

Talk about crying wolf
"Keep putting out those fires of MQ discontent, or at least until the big guns with the lawsuits put out MQ for good"
I have to laugh when I hear this, over and over again. How MQ is going down. When? Come on people. They are still hiring people, they still have accounts. They aren't going anywhere. So some MTs have a class action. Anyone can sue these days. Do they deserve it, sure. But I have been hearing about all this for years now and frankly, I am so tired of this old news.
Gotta laugh to keep from crying!

Yea like type 2 diabetes. Do not come crying to me

For crying out loud, it's a job. Don't take it personal.
Lost my dad in October...still crying every day...could use some help (sm)
I just feel like I don't know what to do anymore. I'm 43 and lost my dad (78) back in October. I miss him so much. I still have times every single day when it hits me. A little memory will come back, and I'll just have the punch in the stomach feeling. I'll type something in a report that will remind me of those final weeks and just feel sick. Just now, I was just going along, doing my work, and out of the blue I remembered how he always had to take his pills with yogurt or applesauce, and I could just picture him, and I started crying again. We moved out of my home state 7 years ago, but before that I worked with my dad, just the two of us, for 13 years in his printing business. He would call me nearly every day, still, whenever he had a problem or needed help with a computer issue or something. Sometimes I'd get irritated because after not working on some of the stuff for years, I couldn't really remember some of these things. Now, I'd give anything for one of those phone calls.
Anyway, I normally wouldn't post this kind of thing, and I know there is an Emotions/Depression board, but there is more activity here and I'm feeling like I need some advice from those that have been there. I don't really talk to my husband about it too much. I usually have these times during the day or late at night when I'm alone. I just try to keep it pretty much to myself. Our neighbor lost his wife back in July and he is over here pretty often. He still is having a rough time, and my husband has made comments about how it's probably harder when it's your spouse. In a way, it made me feel like maybe I'm letting this go on too long? I have my dad's pictures by me and I wonder if maybe I shouldn't because they too make me cry. I guess I just don't know. I just know that every day I just miss him so much and have to stop and cry and I don't know if I need to go see somebody, or this is going to get better and pass, or what.
I laughed so hard I was almost crying! nm

I've been crying all morning and can't stop (sm)
what's the matter with these lousy companies. They have poor work and want us to produce a quality document....this job is really sucking anymore!
Oh yes, please. go get your own accounts. This is a newbie for crying out loud
I've run into a lot of people in this field who say, Just go get your own accounts, yet very few do. why?
And: Today you are laughing, tomorrow you wil be crying, believe me...nm

no misunderstanding at all. you want things your way and you run crying to "mom" or authority
I don't really mind your posts, but what you are doing now makes me wonder about your sanity. It's like my kids when they don't get their way. They come crying to me and want me to intervene and they try to cause trouble for the person who won't give in. That's what you are doing. You lost me on this battle Dano.
17 years, my husband's got yours beat, he's STILL crying over the Notebook!

My goodness, there are MQ offices crying for help. Gets transferred out of Amherst to Ohio or one of
the other offices. I will do that if they run me out of work at Amherst. I dont plan to stick around long if that happens.
Glad to see you keeping your spirits up. Gotta laugh to keep from crying, eh?
Boy, you brought back memories. I remember crying too and thinking I'd never get it that first y

anything beats crying children .... particularly from home late at night ...
oy! Those poor kids, not asleep in bed yet, and exhausted mom or dad are tryyyying to catch up with dictation ... imho -- the worst ... though I admit I personally have never had from-the-car-on-the-freeway dictation which I gather beats the band!
Wailing children are so heart wrenching.
No perimenopausal symptoms? Mood swings? Crying? Forgetfulness? Lucky you if so. I started all that
