Hire my kid--he'll catch it for you! sm
He loves snakes. I don't care for them but we have lots around here too, especially in the spring when they are mating. I live in Illinois. They are regulars in my yard. The only thing he hasn't caught and brought home yet is a rattler. We've had hognose snakes, pregnant garter snakes, blue racers and regular garden snakes. He has a pet pine snake in my dining room. Hubby and I don't like them but he is the one who takes care of the them, buys the food, cleans their little homes, etc. My neighbor was once infested with blue racers and he went over there and caught them all and turned them loose. I bet there were 25 in the guy's garage. He made $50.00 for an hour's worth of work. He had a pregnant garter snake once that gave birth to 20 little babies the size of nightcrawlers and sold them to the pet shop for $3.00 apiece. He doesn't do it anymore and he only has the one snake now, but I learned a lot just from watching him. I've been told that a black rat snake living under your deck in the winter is the best mouse control you can have.
don't worry, they'll catch it. Probably take it out of your next short paycheck.nm

Did anyone else catch the BS here other than me? how could you sm
bill on a gross line and pay on a 65-character line. that is just plain old dishonest. not good business practice in my opinion and cheating the MT who in the case happens to be your mom. how could you do that??? my suggestion would be to be honest and fair with you, your mom, and the office and do things in the normal manner. i hope that was a typo for your sake. GEEZZZZZZZ!!!! how many companies do cheat us all like that???
AT&T will catch on if you use their plan a lot. SM
They will (1) dump you from their plan, (2) send you a $4000 LD bill (back charges and (3) send a fraud investigator to your home. Been there, done that.
Exactly, really can't catch when proofing as you go.
Think about it, you are thinking, listening, typing, foot pedaling, etc., too much going on at once. Not to mention other distractions. Really can't proof as you go, just doesn't work. You have to stop at the end to concentrate and re-read it to catch all the errors. Trust me, I do audits and find errors in probably 8 out of every 10 reports, some very small but still errors. These are most likely from MTs who proof as they go. I totally understand MTs are paid on production and don't blame them one bit for not proofing at the end! But then also should not expect a perfect report or state that proofing as they go works, cause it really doesn't. Ever hear of a writer say oh you don't have to proofread or edit my book before publishing because I proof as I go?!?! Just some food for thought. ; )
Thanks. I put this in Favorites to try when I catch a

You never catch up with oncology....
there is always different meds and procedures more than any other field I've done. I quit after about a year. Great experience but ya don't make the money.
Do you ever catch your typos?
there wages - ?
Good catch---
nm
I never heard of it. Will be sure to catch it.
NM
Oh, yeah...I catch your drift...sm
All the liberal media is going to show us during a Republican administration is the bad stuff
I agree. It seems like all of them want to play catch up on one day
then they expect you to have ALL of their work done within TAT when they went beyond the agreed lines per day.
Actually, spellcheck wouldn't catch it because
there, they're, and their are all correct spellings.
CATCH PHRASES ARE "AMAZING" - NOT!
It's time to move on from these phrases that I've heard ad nauseum from people who can't think of anything on their own.
"At the end of the day."
" . . . amazing."
" . . . awesome."
Anybody else?
yes, I did catch it;hence the haha you missed it
nm
ooh, i catch jealosy vibes lol

I notice that too. QA will eventually catch up to them.

i do it occasionally when needing to catch up; sm
as the other poster said, my production shows in the next 2 days though. i always keep a light on (not just a lamp). i have lots of dr. pepper. i usually do laundry so that every 45 mins or so i have to get up and fold another load and that keeps me awake. i avoid food as that will make me sleepy too. also do as the other poster said, don't surf the net at all as that makes me sleepy to. i stick to my work and knock it out as quickly as i can.
Scan through and hopefully catch mistakes as I go. sm
That don't pay me enough this day and time to proof every single word I type. Take our wages minus IC expenses and we aren't making much. I look at it like you pay for what you get sometimes. Now that isn't to say I don't care about quality as I do. I just proof as I go and try my best to catch it and be accurate but I do have 15 yrs exp and can usually tell immediately if I have made a typo. I may get a he or she mixed up here and there but no major errors in the report.
Yeah, sometimes I catch mess-ups...sm
when I go back through the report, and I say I am glad I proofread. LOL.
Ok, Six Feet Under fans, did you catch it last night?
I'm sad.
You guys are better than I thought. I was wondering if you could catch those, lol nm
:P
I get tendinitis too occasionally. If I catch it in time, sm
can avoid the trip to the orthopedist for the x-rays, exam, shot of Marcaine and big bill (ugh). He gave me stretching exercises to do every hour or two, and I take 3-4 ibuprofen (actually, Advil Liquigels -- it may be just hype but I do believe they work faster) if I have a flare.
Good luck.
And the result is like a Catch-22. Clients/MTSOs
so they turn to alternatives like offshore or VR. But they don't look far enough to see that the root cause of not enough experienced MTs is because the experienced don't want to stay in a sinking ship. I think they feel that using the excuse that lack of experienced MTs validates them turning to cheaper alternatives, which in turn, makes the ship sink even further.
Did anyone catch the show with Sandra Bernhardt?
Where she and Elizabeth had sort of a fight over politics. That was the best! lol
Oops. worth OF catch up and wants it ASAP.

Well, Word is easy to buy and easy to install. Word 97 works great. Cheap. SM
I still would not work anywhere I could not use a spell checker with grammar checker and a Steadman's Medical Spell Checker.
IF they want people to TRANSCRIBE MEDICAL REPORTS, then I guess they better get the programs they need.
It's like probably 110% easier to buy and install Word 97 than to try to program their own programming. And, yes, I do mean Microsoft Word 97. Why? Because you can install it unlimited times, in case you need to install the operating system again. And it has a few features that Microsoft, in its un-wisdom, took away in Word 2000 and 20003 and 2007. So, yes, I'd go with Word 97 for its cheapness and it works better than the later versions. Just my opinion, with 20 years experience being an MT. So what if they "don't have it" on their computer? It's easy to get.
Flash-type.....
Does Flash-type Expander work with Word Perfect does anyone know? Thanks for the info. TLC
Really? Did you get Flash Type too?
I'm doing something wrong but the Flash Type added two of each entry to my report and the speller wouldn't even open for me. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it wouldn't work because it said a version was already installed. Good thing it was free or I'd be pretty ticked. I was thinking about getting Instant Text anyhow when I got this software prize so I'll probably go that route as planned. Even if I got the bugs all worked out, I didn't see any way to import my Auto Correct entries.
flash forward
Those were the days! My production dropped significantly when i had to switch from flash forward to shorthand. But at least I have a job!
News flash everybody!! - sm
After a nasty argument with ex H over his lack of interest in our daughter for the past 15 years, he informs me that I won't have a job in 3 years due to voice recognition taking over. Yikes, where do I turn now? And, since she will be 18 then, he is done financially. Well, jeeze, since he hasn't been there emotionally for the past 15 years, he might as well stop paying his lousy $150/month. I'm ticked off and laughing at the same time. Just venting over the fact that ex idiot is taking pleasure in the thought that he thinks he knows something I don't know.   Obviously he has been doing some reasearch or how would he even know what voice recognition is? Please excuse my very angry rant! I'm going to take a deep breath and try to forget the whole ugly conversation.
News flash....
Why listen to the rantings of a man who thinks his own daughter is only worth $37.50 a week?
He may or may not research, but there is enough talk about Voice Recognition on TV and radio talk shows that he may have heard it mentioned there.
Please don't let his pettiness ruin your peace of mind.
Flash drive to
copy Word to the other computer. Don't know about the other question!
flash drive
get one, they are worth it. i just got one at target for 14.99. i have seen them as low as 9.99. i type at home for a cardiology practice. i upload all my work onto the flash drive, bring it into their office, download it to their computer. when the doc makes changes on his dictation, they just bring my work up on their computer and do their thing. saves them from calling me, me making the changes, printing it, getting in the car and bringing it to them. it is wonderful. try to get one with a key ring on it, cuz they are just so small, you can lose them easily. once they go under the seat of the car, you never see them again. lol
Flash drive
I have a couple flash drives and drop one off with the completed work and pick up an empty one when I pick up work. Get a flash drive and copy the files on it and give that to them too...good luck!
who exactly is SS? And what is Flash type?
? and if SS has supporters and this board is not a supporter of her, why are they here anyways?
Flash Type anyone?
Does anyone here use this? I downloaded the free trial and emailed the webmaster but haven't heard anything yet. Do you have to remember all of your shorts with this, or does a screen pull suggestions up? So far, I haven't seen this, that's why I am asking. If not this expander, which one? Please, I already know about IT and I do NOT want to purchase it at this point. For the $ and the learning curve, I don't have the time right now. What Expanders are easy to use, and hit the ground running that don't cost a lot? Any info is appreciated! Thanks!

Anyone catch Discovery Health Channel last night?
I always watch the Plastic Surgery epidoses with Dr. Jan Adams who narrates the different procedures profiled. Anyhow, he was explaining how some patients are more susceptible to keloid formation, and in the subheadings where they type these words, they had it as "keyloid" It just struck me as funny, being a medical show and all!
It was a joke. The poster didn't ask anyone to actually do those things. If you can't catch

great post; hope your ideas do catch on.

It takes me three months, then I catch up and exceed the expectations.
Also, takes about three months to decide if you even enjoy the work, company structure and your team members. If not happy, change teams or if it just does not fit, change teams until you feel at home. Being worried about your performed, feeling somwhat discouraged and even temporarily anxiety ridden is not unusual traits of a conscientious employee and valuable employee, by the way.
I may even be able to proofread and catch spelling errors (interruptions)!
I meant to answer your post earlier, but I've been trying to catch up on
housework before school starts. I cannot WAIT for school to start. I'm so tired of the kids' bickering and attitudes this summer. They've taken to ignoring me whenever I ask them to do anything. I threaten them with grounding, loss of privileges, or slave duty. Then they bicker about who did more chores or who made the mess to begin with. Instead of cleaning up after them, I leave it sit until their Dad gets home. If they don't want to listen to me, they'll darn well listen to him.
They are usually really good kids. I think it's mostly cabin fever because a lot of their friends went on vacation or stayed with their biological Dads for the summer. The kids are so bored. I'm just so tired of it every summer. I have all these grand plans for finishing work early and doing something fun each day, but I get the same garbage every year. Too many kids over here, too many interruptions, too much bickering, too much mess.
Let me tell you, I'm celebrating on the first day of school. I'm going to the coffee shop and buying a big mocha latte. Then I'm going to sit there all by myself and read a book. On the way home, I'm grabbing lunch for myself and watching a chick flick by myself. No McDonalds either.
I am working today but i don't get extra pay. just behind on clinic notes and trying to catch up
between cooking.
Hey, I don't live on this board. We catch negative posts and delete
at any time. In the top, right hand corner of each post, there is a Report Message button you can click on. We do the best we can.
A hyphen never killed anyone but a left and right error did and I catch plenty of those as the MT.
blah - these aren't rules, they are decisions made by a circle of anal retentive MTs. Dorland's and a grasp of the English land and basic sentence structure all make it happen but a love of medicine is what makes an expert in this field because they follow the doctor's hands, eyes and mind.
Flash Count problem
I am in the process of installing this but it is asking me to install disk #2 or click browse to select a path? Can someone help? I have closed all other programs and even rebooted by computer. Thanks in advance!
