Ears now beat red and they are off for good.
My ears are not beat red and killing me. I love the NC and they help quite ambient noise even with the feature off but wowzers. Back to my cheapos for me. I may try the Koss headphones and see if they are any better. Hubby is not working so he gets to do all the running. He is going to kill me.
Earthquake cake? It that like Mudslide cake with a mocha drizzle??????????????
qqpp
Just one? Texas cake (chocolate cake no frosting) and ...
the other favorite is butter cake with chocolate frosting. Or chocolate with chocolate fudge frosting. Not sophisticated, but wonderful choices all.
not good for your mind or hands,
i would highly recommend an ergo board such as the kinesis if you continue with the same company.
I agree. Men should be the icing on the cake, not the whole cake.
Good thinking Wise MT about the blanket. I use fingerless gloves for the hands. NM. Thank you for
Is that beat red as in your husband beat or
is that beet red as in the vegetables you eat? Noticed you said he was going to kill you. Hehe

Philly's too simple to get what you're saying.

He is an awesome performer. I saw him and Billy Joel together in Philly. Loved every minute of it!
Have fun!
You have got to be kidding! Philly food is the ultimate! Gotta love those "real" cheesesteak

I would not beat yourself up on it - sm
I have done the same thing/similar on a few reports. I took over an account from one lady and for probably a month half the letters would still have her initials on them depending on which computer I was on....I forgot to fix the template on my laptop. I sent a report through with the wrong Dr. name just the other day; but luckily I was able to go the the FPT, delete it and fix it and re-upload. I also left out the word "to" in a letter, so I went back and fixed all the ones that they had not retrieved as yet (about 15 of them). I have also sent through a letter once with the salutation wrong...whoops, I figure they caught that one though when they went to pring it out. I did fix the copy we kept in our records though. But when I spot a mistake after the fact I always let my supervisor know. It has never gone against me and they appreciate the heads up so they can fix the problem, and believe me you will never make the same mistake twice (or at least not as bad the second time).
OK, you got me beat.....LOL
I live in Michigan....only 10 here today..>BUT< Windchill is -15. Stay warm now. I sure am trying. LOL.
Don't beat yourself up! sm
When you start a new job, you are fighting everything...formats, platform, new voices, account rules AND you are trying to get up to speed as soon as you can. THIS is the time when we all make the silly and thoughtless mistakes that we have carefully learned to avoid, or so we thought. This is why QA exists.
It takes time to get every little thing under control, no matter how much experience you have and how careful you are. Your brain can only handle so many problems at once. Pick one to tackle for a few days at a time until it locks into your brain and move to the next one. Change your Expander for these spelled out things (see below) and do the best you can. It WILL get better. You are only human.
Since I have accounts that are b.i.d. etc. and ones that are not, I have left the bid=b.i.d. and gone to bidx=twice a day. It was surprisingly easy to get the hang of that, believe it or not. I think it was because I didn't have to hear "B-I-D" and think...oh right twice a day.
I think I have you beat! I have a 65 Mustang
coupe in my garage, all original. My husband bought it 2 years ago for 1200.00, cleaned it up, put the original color on it. Runs like a top, still the original tires. Had it appraised for $15,000.00. Can't beat that. It sits next to his 79 corvette. Mine's purtier, though.
Wow! You got me beat. I do remember. . .
The financial office I worked in that went "computerized" and there was like one mainframe and you had to save your stuff on this HUGE floppy that was about the size of an LP and carefully walk to the mainframe at the other end of the building so that static from the carpet wouldn't "shock" the info off the floppy.
Only one printer too and that was in the basement. You had to stand in line. And we thought we were so state of the art. But actually. . . .we were!
Got you beat...check this out
I am 4'9" tall (short) and I can definitely relate to your problem. Never use top shelves...never have!
Don't beat yourself up or second guess your
decisions. You love your dog, and made decisions based on what you believed to be best for her. As for spading/neutering or not, it seems to just be fate or whatever. I have had spayed dogs die young of cancer, or died young of other problems. In general, I have had more luck with not neutered or spayed dogs than vice versa. So much is in the bloodlines of our dogs - unless you breed them for generations, you just don't know, and so much of it is genetic. So I personally believe our dogs are predisposed to certain ailments, just like we are - and try as we do to prevent things in our pooches, its gonna happen anyway. No what I mean? There also is a lot of controversy over neutering and the ages to have it done. I personally believe in having it done after the dog matures - it does stunt growth cycles, usually unseen in females, but observable in males. I know in Europe, many dogs are not spayed or neutered, and European dogs have longer life expectancies than US counterparts. The whole neuter/spay campaign in our country had so much to do with the responsible pet owner thing and to stop unwanted pups, etc. I understand how you felt - you knew your dog was not in danger of having an unwanted pregnancy! Sounds like you were/are a wonderful dog owner! I'm sure you made all the right decisions - when you begin to doubt, just think of something happy - block it! 
In a heart beat
Am currently trying to get on with them.
I have you beat in years by
23 years and I make nothing as compared to what I did in the past. I make 4C for editing and 8c line for straight. I am fast so I still bring home what I want on my paycheck and do not want to increase my hours at this point in time. Like I said, a lot of the companies you will speak to want certain times and days for you to work. Think I have only seen 1 post where any different but give it a go.
No need to briar beat yourself...
I haven't been in the field nearly as long as you have but I did psych for approx 5 years, got fired from my inhospital job, came home and started taking care of my aging/bedbound mom and started working from home. I tried others with OP's, and signed on with a couple of companies to realize that I really did not know all that I thougfht that I did about transcription. After about a year I was able to land a job b with a psychiatric hospital account...Wow...even so, I still don't know alot of things. It is ever changing but I love it. I feel like a turtle at times but hey I get the job done....I am sure that you are a great Transcriptionist and your speed will increase as mines has but it is like going to rehab and learning to walk all over again, we fall down but we get up...believe in yourself.....
If You Can't Beat Them Join Them
There's an old saying which says "If You Can't Beat Them Join Them" I dunn think any of us can stop outsourcing and I dunnt feel there is any point crying over loss of income. So I have followed this ("If You Can't Beat Them Join Them") and I did't lose a dime as the companies outsourced big time. I have myself started taking 100% more work than before and am outsourcing them to individuals in India (the quality generally is good) who does the transcribing (obviously I get the work done at a much lower rate than what I myself get paid). By doing so my hourly rate works out even higher than anno's
Really???? I miss 'burgh food. Philly food is okay, but it
x
yep, rum cake mmm
your making me hungry!!
Actually, it is not I who wants my cake and eat it too
but it is the client. When I started with them, I had no previous experience. They didn't want to hire as employee, but wanted IC, so they don't pay benefits, etc., but they want to call the shots, telling me no subcontracting, they want me to pick up tapes-no courier, they refused to telecommute, they want me to go out of my way to abbreviate, etc. to cut lines as much as possible, and they want to dictate pay per line.
One way to beat the high gas prices...
Gas prices drive man to commute by horse
By Associated Press
MINOT, N.D. --Jim Jundt was so determined to rein in his spending on gasoline that he got out of bed early and rode his 14-year-old quarterhorse mare to work.
Jundt lives 15 miles south of Minot and works as a mechanic at Goodyear Tire & Auto Service in the city.
He said he and his co-workers had been talking about rising fuel prices, and he joked that he would ride his horse to work if gasoline ever hit $3 a gallon.
His co-workers laughed, but when the price at the pump soared to $3.20 last week, Jundt headed for the barn.
He said he was only five minutes late riding his mare, Patty, to work.
While he worked, Patty waited patiently, eating hay out of the back of a truck.

Line counts -sm - beat ya
 Hey since everyone is bragging I just did 563 lines in 2036 minutes -- sorry had to put that in but it is true but I forgot to sign off my document on as I went to bed. Guess I don't make the 2000 club in the last 24 hour period.
I am sure the paparazzi have beat her to the punchline
dd
also can't beat Stedman's Immunology
maybe get used on e-bay or here? Good luck - once you get it down it's a breeze.
Right! Andrew is top notch! You can't beat it!
They will work closely with you. Both places she mentioned are great. They turn out such great MTs that all the nationals will be running into each other breaking down your door in the desire to hire you. I know when I graduated I had three call me in one day alone! Let us know how it all works out, okay Dumbfounded? Best wishes, good luck, take care and all that other good stuff.....

I made the cake before -
and it was soooo good - rich of course, but delicious. Gotta try the meatloaf tonight. Thx for the recipe.
Wedding Cake
Could anyone direct to me some good web sites with wedding cake pictures? I have found a few, but it seems they are all "cookie cutter" and I am looking for something original, but not crazy. Am having a smaller wedding (under 100), outdoor. Any links anyone could provide, I would be majorly appreciative! (I have cake appointments next week and need to provide some ideas for them.)

Earthquake Cake

Has anyone had Vesuvius cake?
It's a layered cake that sort of looks like a volcano.....with a layer of chocolate cake, a layer of cheesecake, a layer of chocolate mousse, topped off with a really thick ganache icing! Yum!!!!
piece of cake?
Decided to try transcription after I tired of nursing (management). Thought it would be a snap. Suffice it to say that a good MT has a broader knowledge base than a registered nurse.
That DOES take the cake! FIRST PRIZE! ;D

Piece of Cake....
I made the transition from doing multispecialty clinic and acute care transcription to Radiology about five years ago, and it was one of the easiest transitions I've ever made. Just have a couple of good radiology reference books and I don't think you'll have any problem at all. The cpl sounds very good, too.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I attempted to email you a couple of good reference materials, but the email came back as undeliverable.
Good luck 
I just read the article and was going to post but you beat me to it.....
Gotcha all beat - over 64 and love to dance nm
p
Tropical paradises. Hawaii cannot be beat.
dd
I agree. Certification does not beat experience ever!!! nm

Thanks! I am going to try and make the cake this weekend.
I will try and make the meatloaf too. I have made several of her recipes, they were all great. One of my friends recently went to Savannah, GA and ate at The Lady & Sons (her restaurant). She said it was awesome!
Okay...hand over the cake recipe;
