Hey Laura - I live in Mechanicsville -
Didn't realize there were others on this board from my neck of the woods. Maybe we should start a dinner club for MTs?
Us too (VA), luckily live on top of a hill - sm
on a private road (now filled with water ruts). So most of our water drains off though our backyard is relatively flat and under about 2-3" of water now. Drained out a few inches out of our Intex pool, don't want it to flow over on its own! Shouldn't have to worry about a drought though!
Luckily for me with Spring Break
I have a 15 year old at home who watches her 5 year-old sister. Plus I also took a few days off so we can do things together. Also, there are a lot of kids outside in the neighborhood so they just all go out and play together. I know it would be hard if I didn't have all these things to keep her busy. It's too late now, but in our school district they have all sorts of programs half day and full day to keep the kids busy while their parents work. Maybe next year you could look into that. How about other kids in the neighborhood or maybe a teenager to look out for your son while you work?
$2.81, suburban Philadelphia
What a bargain
$2.09 in Tappahannock, VA, about $2.26 in Mechanicsville, VA (35 miles South)

tank the cherry pickers
Cherry picking sure hurts the hospitals because they are waiting on these reports and if the cherry picker skips over, then if no one else is on-line, its gonna take a while to do those reports..so it hurts the hospital and the trans service..and the patient, which is supposedly what we are all about..LEGAL ACCURATE MEDICAL RECORDS..I cant believe that a cherry picker would even post here..I would be too ashamed to admit that I shaft my coworkers, the hospital and trans service I work for..
Yes, been there. I borrowed from my family members. Luckily, they had it to give me. Doing great

Have a 1996 Suburban, bought in 02/1999 with 64K miles - sm
now has 184K miles, still going strong. Paid $26K. Have gotten our money's worth on it. Just started making repairs here and there over the last 2 years, new fuel pump, new fitting from radiater to engine, a couple engine seals, water pump, cleaning of fuel injectors. Probably about $2K all together in the last 7 years we have had it, not bad I think, other than regular maintance stuff, i.e. brakes, tires, oil changes, air filters, engine belt, etc. Gets about 15 MPG, 18 sometimes. Thing is a tank and I love it. Had a Blazer before that, though I had to put a lot of $$$ into it over the years I had it (10), about 16 MPG---Going to run the Suburban into the ground, hope to get 250K miles at least out of it. Has a few tics now and then due to age but all in all is in great shape and runs well, and I have made a point of fixing things immediately engine-wise and cosmetically. Go GM, have heard the transmissions last a lot longer (mine is proof of that, 184K original transmission) my husband has a 1990 Ford F-250 that had its transmission rebuild at 90K miles. His truck now has 189K miles on it and shifts rough.
Love my Kirby G5 -- got it used for $500 - the thing is a tank and works great!- nm

I wear comfy thermal pants and tank tops. sm
see no need to look professional, feel professional, in the privacy of my home. My work is professional, and that is what they get.
Even when I am what would be considered unkempt, I make a terrific line count.
If not in suburban Denver, 4 words...granola eating tree huggers.

Used to own a Suburban, loved that truck. Have ridden in Ford trucks and SUVs
should not have jumped that much according
to the TV this morning. Newscaster stated the oil supply would not be diminished by that much and also not for very long. Suggested reporting dramatic increases in gas prices, as this is considered "price gouging".
That's EXACTLY what I said last wk and got jumped
not mentioned, you are exactly right.
Something else I have wondered about. If the omnipresent THEY have so thoroughly evaluated and calculated our skills based on GAWD ONLY KNOWS WHAT - probably looked at 3 reports in our files - .......if a person who is an SE opts out of ARS and wants to ACTUALLY TYPE reports and not do hen scratching all day - and they permanently are left with the bottom scrapings because of such a choice...........................................will we get a RAISE (new word in their vocabulary so I'm using it here for their education) from the salary we are now getting since SCUM will be a steady diet now? (like we get anything else but bad reports once they know we can do them! but I just had to wonder)
Ours jumped yesterday
from $2.49 to $2.72. Don't know what it jumped to today. I saw that $2.99 on the news in Cedar Rapids-guess it isn't so bad yet in my small town.
I'm with you. Jumped the shark! (nt)
I would have jumped at the chance.
20 minutes away? The last job where I actually was offered any training was 45 minutes away, but I went. Although meeting face to face is not necessary, I always enjoyed putting a face to a name/voice. I think, in this case, it was irresponsible of the MTs to blow this off. With my present job the MTSO came out and loaded the software on my computer and briefly showed me how to use it. I appreciated even that much. Most of the time ICs are expected to just be able to do it. I am an older MT with lots of experience, but I scramble for any technical experience/training I can get.
Full Core means full CPR code.

In mid Michigan it has jumped to $3.19 today!
nm
$3.19 here too, jumped 20 cents overnight.

You correct others' spelling and get jumped on

Whoa. Someone around here jumped to conclusions.
LOLOLOLOLOL
This has jumped from "mentoring" to teaching....sm
Starting a school would be the last thing I would want to do. I have thought about simple "mentoring," not all the other hassels. I think the original poster means that also but maybe as an employee. I would want to do it on my own just for a few people at a time. As I said before....not big bucks.....
I know! And did you see the way she jumped down my throat assuming that I was talking about HER!
Talk about soapbox. But I do agree with you
I jumped off trainwreck at 13 days before they would have to pay for Bytescribe for me after 14
:p
No I don't know these things, I am sorry, I guess I jumped the gun on an MT post. Sorry , really
n
And if thousands of people jumped off bridge,

Yeah, but full-time lines does not necessarily mean full-time hours, so I would do it if your produc

Septic tank cleaner, it's cleaner than MT!

I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
HA! You are full of it, LOL. (nm)
better to be *full of ourselves* than....nm
Boy you are FULL of it
How the heck did you jump to the assumption that I probably make less than you? Why - because your brother and father are engineers?? I never said I needed another job, I said I wanted one to fill my time and make some extra money. Unless your last name is Gates or Buffet, who wouldn't want to use their natural skills to make extra cash on the side? Grow up.
And if your job is so difficult, how is it you have all this extra time to sit on this forum bashing folks? I never claimed my job was too demanding, but it did take quite a bit more education - initially and always ongoing to keep up with the latest technology - than yours did. I didn't come on this board to start a "My job is harder/better than yours", but my goodness you are the most assumptive and pious person I have ever had the displeasure of being introduced to. And that says a lot considering I work with all men in a computer engineering industry! Maybe you would find your job more rewarding if you spent more time doing it!
Oh but it was nowhere near full.
This is the 2nd time this has happened. Believe me, in the olden days when autotext was all there was I had a WAY bigger file, now it's gone. Not autocorrect, mind you, I use the ESP for that, but the autotext. It just makes life so much easier.
Are you full-time?
I was just wondering how they expect people to get a quota with no work.
Thanks, we already have a used car without full coverage.
The payment's not that big on it, except when there's a mixup at the bank and they deduct one check twice with the same amount and same check number. It just feels like the money mojo magnet is gone from my life this week! LOL Everything seems to go wrong all at once.
Full screen
No, it's not in full screen mode. You're right, though, I was hitting Ctl not Alt for a while. Have tried Alt V and nothing happens.
I did find something in MS Help online, but it requires that I start the machine in Safe Mode. The PC locks up now when I get to the dos program where I would select Safe Mode.
Thanks for all the help. So far I've tried all the suggestions and nothing has worked yet.
I'm about ready to light a match to this machine, I tell ya!!
and aa and jb are my full initials so no need to qa it

Not a warrior, but usually end up doing at least a full day of
work one day or split between the two. There is always tons of work and always out of TAT, but I do it mainly cuz I need the $$.
I'm getting the full picture now. Not...
a pretty picture is it?
$1,100.00 full time

It took 2 full days, but...
I love it!! My hands never ache after I am done typing, and I have increased my speed with this keyboard.
What is the company's full name?

he's so full of psychobabble....sm
In my mind, I have always questioned Phil's degrees, where he got them, if they are legitimate, and all that jazz....he doesn't sound like a true psychologist and I cannot stand the way he speaks to people, except his wife, who he wouldn't dare speak to the way he speaks to others. I think he is a shyster of a *psychologist* IF he is truly a psychologist!!.....
That's for a cut & full highlights though...
I don't know what she would charge for just a hair cut.
Judy CAN be and should be full of herself
     
Are you full-time?
How many lines do you do a day? I personally think this is very low even for a newbie, but I'm wondering if your accounts are REALLY easy and you have a lot of "normals" (macros) where you can get great line counts in a short period of time. Just my opinion and I'm no expert but I'd say they ARE taking advantage . . . .
Also add someone else is doing full QA on your work.
