We had a very persistent ex-nurse at my old job who wanted to do transcription. She kept pestering my boss for an interview and testing. When it came to the testing part, she found out it was not so easy and finally quit pestering our department for a job.

Grrr...cherrypickers
I am so SICK of cherrypicking. I just got a HUGE job in my queue by the worst author on my account, which, conveniently, had been skipped by everybody else working today, leaving me, apparently the only person with a conscience, to slog through this crap. I just don't understand the mindset of the cherrypicker. I would be wracked with guilt if I took all the good work and left the bad for everyone else. If anyone reading this is a cherrypicker, you are a thief. You are a selfish, pathetic, disgusting thief, and I hope someday you get what's coming to you.

grrr - more confusion
I tried calling HP and they recommended Word Office Suite 2007 (another $400) - but I think I read somewhere that 2007 is not compatible... ?? and that Transcriptionists are going with Word 2003 ??

Grrr! I just had a doc who spelled the abbreviations!

COPD, that's captial C, capital O, capital P, captial D. LAD, capital L, capital A, capital D.

Plus...

Patient has been in drug recovery - that's R-E-C-O-V-E-R-Y

Really? I did not know that. Thanks so much.

Grrr...not only do I hate transcribing for NPs

I am getting to where I just can't stand the THOUGHT of doing this at all for 11 more years (unless I hit the lotto or by some other miracle my mortgage gets paid). I am terribly burned out and broke, to boot. There will probably be no MT industry in a lot less than 11 years anyway, so what am I so worried about? The decision will be made for me. There HAS to be a better way to pay the bills.

The standard line the office gives me -grrr
Whenever I run out of work, I call the office. It's a waste of time. They have a standard answer which is "umm, umm, let me check, um, can you check back later in an hour?" Which later became "um, um, let me check, um can you check back in two hours?" If there is no work, can they not just say it's slow or there will likely not be much work today? I find this insulting. I never know how to respond since I can't really say to them "Liar, liar...." Lol. What would a better response be? I have stopped calling now. It's frustrating!

Yup, and hate regular phone calls like that, too. Grrr....nm

exact same thing, like excruciating to extremely grrr

Off in the head, maybe - took 150 minutes. Grrr. Didn't want it. Couldn't turn it down. nm
