we retaliated by blasting AC/DC. They got the point and stopped blaring their music. I'd pound on the walls and ask her to keep it down because you are trying to work, might help, it she gets louder and more obnoxious I'd call the police, disturbing the peace and all. She won't appreciate it but it would sure make a point, and if she kept it up you just keep calling the police. Good luck.

Met at a beer blast in college -nm
X
I have never had my own room. I shared a room with my sister, went away to college sm
and had a roommate (whom I am still close to) for 4 years, moved back home and back to sharing a room with my sister while she went to a local college and then got married. In fact, after 17 years of marriage, this is the first time in my life that I have had my own dresser, not just the top two or bottom two drawers!
I could never live alone. Not for fear but for loneliness. I like my alone time but I love to have people around.
Sound of Music, Dead Poets Society, Forrest Gump. nm

A nice sunny room just for me in our finished lower level. Love my cocoon room.

Not a blast, but....
puhleez, kids are SO overindulged and treated these days that it's ridiculous. I was a kid in the 60s/70s and everybody I know recalls the same memories.... If you stepped foot in a resturant once a YEAR, it was a miracle. That was for your parents to go out and do. Nowadays you can't go into a restaurant without listening to mobs of screaming toddlers throwing silverware on the floors and breaking up crackers everywhere. Same with theaters... We NEVER went to a walk in theater, it was the drive-in or nothing. Of course now that there are no drive ins, I guess people could keep their kids home to watch the DVD until they're old enough to sit still and quiet at the movies. And finally, as for vacations... We went on car trips, sat in the back seat without any DVD or video game. And we had fun. But we certainly didn't feel entitled to do everything our parents did. Kids today want it all. I think it's perfectly okay for 2 people to have a few days to themselves without guilt. I'm sure their kids do p-l-e-n-t-y.
Blast away
I couldn't care less how any one responds to my posts. This is not real life and I don't get emotional over this board other than to laugh at the cat fights.
If I need to vent, I talk to real people.
No TV, no music, nothing. Music and TV cause me to daydream. nm

that's a blast from the past
I remember that term from years ago.
I did a Google search and the closest I got was a Maxwell Sweetheart retractor: http://www.snowdenpencer.com/snowden/dspcatalog.nsf/b7e010000d3e8e708525666e004dfec2/0174ad87011670c085256673005b0e34?OpenDocument
If you read the first paragraph, it's referring to the shape of the blade ... so my guess is if you can have a heart-shaped blade with a retractor, why not with the tenaculum.
Op notes are a blast (well for me they are fun!)
I love doing them personally. If you can find someone who is willing to let you kinda slowly wade in, it really is something you should try out. You have to be adept at using all of your resources, i.e. books and internet, and you should have a good grasp on basic anatomy. You really should have some sort of bonafide surgical word book at your fingertips as well. If you can give it a shot, I say go for it! It never hurts to learn something new 
He's about as cool as a blast furnace
You're kidding, right? This guy's an idiot.
Why don't you read the post before you blast it?
???
a dumb question (please don't blast me) ... sm
First, let me say that I too HATE our jobs being outsourced. Not only for the ill effects to US MTs, but especially the slave wages paid to Indian MTs to line the pockets of more greedy and overpaid CEOs. It is sickening.
My question, however, is what exactly is so bad about medical records being sent outside of the country? I just don't understand why everyone seems so adamant that this is an awful thing, mentioning homeland security, privacy issues, etc. Other than loss of our jobs as MTs, what is the danger and concern? Just curious.
don't blast me please..I didn't notice that stupid
 long morning.
Grateful
I must be having a brain freeze today, sorry I spelled gratful wrong, oops.

Deeply Saddened -- I understand. I just found out our company is not giving us a bonus this year. It is disappointing, because since it was done in the past, it shows how they are making their cuts. In this case cutting staff appreciation.
grateful
I am grateful to have the work and that is why I do type them and anything else that comes my way. I was looking for a way to increased productivity.
I think you should not "vent" but be grateful you have
freedom to have any surgery we want anytime we want!
In reply to grateful
It does feel kinda good to put a voice behind us, it is rather empowering. For years we sat back and let AAMT do our talking for us and we see where that got us. Transcriptionists are always too busy to discuss or debate things in the office we are always plugged in...this feels really good, let's keep it up...keep writing, talking, pushing. GO MT's we can do it.
Be grateful, a lot of people don't get raises-- sm
I will probably cap out where I work next year. My husband is lucky if he gets a cost of living raise, he generally will go a 2-3 years w/o a raise then get 3% if we are lucky, 1 year he only got 1%. Yeah it would be nice to get a better raise, but in today's economy be happy that you are getting one and that you have a job.
Excited, happy, and grateful.
:)
Be very grateful someone is giving you feedbac
You must have some talent for them to keep working with you! But be a little humble and grateful for any kind of feedback you get. Try to develop your own "suspicious" ear when you hear something you're not truly sure about. That's your responsibility to train yourself after the training. No MT learns it all in a training program. Years and years of listening and typing and researching is how you become a decent MT. And then you still will never know everything--ever. It's good you took the training, just know that it's better to get feedback from a good service than not be able to find work because you don't know what you're doing. Keep listening, researching, and typing and will eventually click. Best of luck to you.
Mine was for $21.00. Guess I shoudl be grateful, huh? nm
xx
I'm very grateful to have this forum and for your hard work.
nm
I think the poster is saying right now be grateful with what you have... things could be much worse!
nm
You are absolutely right. I am very lucky. I didn't sound too grateful but I am. nm

Feeling healthy mentally and physically and being grateful for that. nm

You are so right! This list makes me grateful for my Instant Text! nm

YOU ARE DEAD ON ABOUT OSi
The lunatic department head you are talking about is the reason I left that department AND OSi once she finally got her pie in the sky promotion and knocked a bunch of much more qualified people down along the way.
Imagine being the best at your job and being usurped by someone on a power trip whose main goal is to try to convince everyone how great she is because she basically doesn't know what the hell she is doing.
I know how to do my job and don't need some hick micromanaging me and breathing down my neck all the time.
If she were knowledgeable, she would organize her department with enough people to make it function properly, then leave them alone and let them do her job.
She is the biggest joke of a "manager" I have ever seen.
Good riddance, OSi!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He can't be dead......
Maybe Uncle June's gonna get on the phone with 9-1-1 and maybe give him mouth to mouth??? haha. Will be interesting to see how they're going to explain that next episode...he was pretty much gone there! And if it's another panic attack and he passed out and dreamed it AGAIN, not watching it anymore. Love the show, but those dreams, like the one in the beginning where Carmella was chatting with dead *Aide* are getting a little old...don't ya think???
Can't be dead.....
I agree with you about the dream gimmick - worn out.
However, there is a theory out there that this episode is actually the last episode of the series and that the 19 more that are to come - 11 this year and then 8 next year - will show us how all these situations evolved.
Dead End...not well-known, had
never heard of it before, but it is a good ol' suspense, kind of frightening movie with a weird ending. Would watch it again if they would play it again.
He's not dead, if that's what you mean. ..
n
now they say 130 are dead
and 300 injured due to terrorist attacks. I hope and pray they catch the ones responsible. Those poor people. 
I am dead serious.
I am sick of being treated like a third class citizen whle so other bozo is making tons of money off my work. Let's unite!!! Why do we need them, we can do this on our own!!??
Dead right! sm
For one of my graduate classes in Competitive Intelligence, I ran an operation against a private security company, starting with nothing but the name of the company.
Before I was through, I had discovered (strictly from public sources) that the CEO of this private security company was also on the board of a Saudi Arabian company, of which other board members were on the "watch" list of Homeland Security.
I knew where this company did its banking and about two significant loans it had defaulted on. I knew that one of the corporate executives, a male, had changed his last name just after arrest reports were recorded in the same county for an individual with the same "old" name (which was quite an unusual name).
I knew this and many, many "inside" details about the company's internal operations.
...starting with nothing but the name of the company.
What's in a resume? Your name, your address, your phone number, where you attended high school/college, former employers and perhaps other information about your hobbies, etc. Give me your resume, and I guarantee you I'll wind up with your SS#.
you know you are in a dead-end job when.....
you cannot get any type of pay increase after 2 years....sigh.....not surprised but it just depresses me. This is not a good way to start the new year. I am finding it hard to stay motivated. Ok, thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
I'm an MT; I know what a dead end job is! LOL. n/m

Drop dead.

that's dead on the money
I have version 3 of Instant Text and used that to create phrase files of 4 words or more and then imported them into the different medical modules that I have. Between that and running the Accuracy Center every couple of months, I was able to get my accuracy to almost 100%, as long as I dictate the way I'm supposed to and the words are in the dictionary.
DH went out shopping later in day and said it was dead.

I keep thinking he's not dead, just (sm)
maybe in a coma for the whole season or something. Don't know if I can get my "fix" of the Sopranos if he's gone.
Top 10 dead end jobs....
Article in CareerBuilders
This was one of a few clerical positions that were listed as the tope 10 dead end jobs. I really am thinking of doing something else now.
Word Processors and Data-Entry Keyers
This sector of workers is expected to decline due to the proliferation of personal computers. Employment growth of data entry keyers will still be dampened by productivity gains, as various data-capturing technologies, such as bar code scanners, voice recognition technologies and sophisticated character recognition readers become more prevalent. In addition, employment of these workers will be adversely affected by businesses that are increasingly contracting out their work.
top 10 dead end jobs
Koudos to you!!! any person who is burnedout in any job should persue another avenue! I think it is great that you have taken that step to better your life and pursue happiness. It takes great courage to leave a comfortable situation and start a new path.
It's "keel" over dead,,,,,

Except he is dead and can't talk.

Nope -- He was dead serious.
I don't think so. He was dead serious saying there were new contacts available approved for 24-7 wear. This was when I first walked in -- did not even begin the exam. He wasn't smiling or saying it in a joking way at all. That alone made me uneasy. He seemed -- not all there if you know what I mean. And the longer I was there the more I felt that way. Also I should mention he tested both eyes together not right and then left and I have never not had my eyes checked individually. I know my right eye is a different prescription than my left. Also, I went to Sears for glasses prior and they always use that machine to measure the distance of pupils to make the glasses -- this wasn't done either. All round it was a horrible experience. There was another woman there complaining of these same things only she paid over $300.00 and they were refusing to give her a refund as well. Why should we be forced to pay for eye wear we cannot see out of? I will never return there again -- still intent to fight for the rest of my money though! Stay away, far, far, away from this place.
music
I am a child of the 80's and felt like I couldn't be burdened with finding gigs. I am an accomplished pianist (A little rusty at 43) but I love music where there is only piano playing. Does DH like Elton John, Billy Joel, (ok - stretch -KC & JoJo's version of Lately), and Stevie Wonder. Nothing like a man and his piano.
Can't get into her music?
I don't know why not. Her and Mellancamp sound just as bad.
Aah, music...
 Taking a break. Listening to some tunes to relax. I think some other people should too. Anyone ever heard of Jill Scott or Erykah Badu? Common? 
Yay! Me too! MUSIC!
I agree with that, music makes my world so much brighter! I throw on some Stevie Wonder and I can't help but cheer up!
Music
Yep, I love the 50's-60's music. Makes me want to move.
