Teargen

Good drug book vs. internet drug sites
I need to buy a new drug book.  At a prior job, about a year ago, one of the supervisors told me she used the internet exclusively.  What's the consensus and if you prefer the internet, which site or sites do you like.  Thanks in advance.
plus the wear-and-tear on your car and all that - sm
mileage. Do you have a back up vehicle if it breaks down so you can get to work? Personally I just don't think a 100+ plus drive to work is worth it, no matter what the pay, but if your bottom line makes this a better offer you need to figure out if you want to make that drive 5 days a week (unless you can work something out with them and work 10 hour days, and only drive it 4 days a week).

no tear gas thrown on guardsmen

Why were the guardsmen there?  We have freedom to protest.  The military is not allowed to patrol and keep tabs on the people.  That is the job of cops.  The military is used to defend the US not control its citizens.  The governor of Ohio was wrong and that has been proven.  There was no tear gas thrown at the guardsmen, there were stocks and rocks and then the guardsmen shot their guns and killed students.


Definitely less wear and tear on your own computer,
but also the company can monitor which web site you visit, all emails sent and received on their computer, and just about anything else you do on it.  But my main reason for using my own computer is that I have all my info on it, i.e, my favorites for the web, lots of reference material, etc., that is a pain to have to re-enter into another computer.  Also, it is much easier to transfer autocorrect from within a computer than from one computer to another (at least that's what I've been told, but in this instance it seemed to be a real problem for this tech).
Yes, could be, I guess. He still has not shed one tear and it's been 13+ months. SM

I wonder if he really needs to see some kind of a counselor about his life in general, but my brother is very hard to suggest things to.  But, one thing I do know, if they don't get a handle on this boy's smart-mouth and terrible attitude toward his dad and his grandmother who is helping out, I just believe they are in for some horrific years to come.  I've raised 2 teenagers, one who gave me problems and one who did not, and this is different from what I had to deal with and also at a younger age.  His dad just seems resigned to the fact that, well, this is how it is and how it's going to be.  I can't just sit by and let the whole family crash and burn, but there's only so much that I feel I can do.  The grandmother (my mother) is helping, but frankly her "mouth" is about as bad as the teenager's.  It's constant back and forth/back and forth between her and him - you would't believe the tone of their voices and the things they say to each other, and then the things he says to his dad.  I learned a long time ago that "tone of voices" matters a great deal in general conversation as well as arguments, and to tell you the truth, my mother can be meaner than anyone I know when she gets started. 


I'm sorry ths is so long - I guess I got carried away but I might as well leave it now that it is typed.  It's just a family problem that we have.


But isn't the need to tear others down also a good indicator of low self-esteem? sm
If the original topic was a question about IQ scores, how is it that when MensaMT responded to the question and shared her IQ score and experience lifting herself up? And how does anyone know anyone else on an anonymous message board without telling things about themselves?
How terrible. They can now block off the tear duct to
help keep moisture in the eyes.  I had the temporary one put in and it really did help.   I had one eye done and am not happy but I do not have the problems you do.  It is so hard to know if you will be in that small percentage with bad results.  I hope something is found to help relieve or correct some of the problems you are having...good luck and best wishes.

DRUG ELUDING?DRUG ELUTING?

Okay...sock it to me..when I was even newer than I am now, I wrote "drug alluding stent."  QA sent a correction saying "drug eluding stent."  NOW, I see on Google, "drug eluting stent."  SOoooo, which is it, or are they both correct?  Thanks ahead of time.


Help on the drug board--osteoporosis drug?
Sorry..........thanks in advance, I appreciate it. 
Word is making my crazy and I'm ready to tear my hair out!!

Does anyone else have this problem?


When working in Word, there are TONS of ~WRL0000.tmp files that are created (the 0000 are just placeholders for random numbers) and being used by Word. These files eventually cause the program to crash, close and restart, always giving the message that the normal file has been changed and asking if I want to reload. This can helps SEVERAL times a day and I'm just tired of the aggravation.


I have looked high and low for an answer to this question and I have yet to find one other person that has had this happen. Microsoft is NO help at all. Their KB only says that the normal.dot is corrupted. I have recreated normal.dot and that hasn't fixed the problem, either. I've done the same for the soap.dot that I use for notes--no luck.


The only thing that I can figure is that these .tmp files are copies of the actual note/file I'm working on (I've opened them up and looked at them). Most can be deleted but there are always one or two that can't be deleted because they're being used by another program (or so the computer says). Closing Word and rebooting Windows is not helping either. BTW, I'm working on XP OS.


If there is anyone out there with either the same problem or, better yet, an idea on how to get this stupidity to stop, please let me know before I go totally bananas!



You are brilliant!
I did not hit the connect button simultaneously.

Thank you :)
If you were truly as brilliant as you . . .

profess to be, I doubt you would feel the need to broadcast it on a public forum.  Wouldn't your abundant intellect be satisfaction enough?  Wouldn’t you just prefer to sit and marvel at yourself in the mirror or something?  Why would you bother to come here and post among those who probably don’t even have the slightest inkling as to your enormous intelligence? 


 


And, yes, modesty is a good thing to be, whether man or woman.  With your massive brain power I would think you would have figured that out a long time ago. 


 


BRILLIANT!!!!
Now YOU are getting the idea.  I am not for hire here, however.  But thank you for seeing the point and reading between the lines.  I only try to help people and not for my own gain.  I truly care about America and American and keeping our businesses, whatever they may be in line.
Brilliant. And put 8K MTs out of work.
"I'm sick of hanging on by my fingernails hoping things will get better." -- Stop waiting. Get out.

"Every day for the last 4 years my income has diminished." -- You have allowed it if you have stayed. You are okaying and excusing how they are treating you if you tolerate it.

"As long as men have their fingers in any particular industry, you can bet you will starve doing work for them." -- What? Man hater, are we? Or, do you really believe that MQ is run only by men and there are no women in the ranks? You think women would be better managers? I don't see anything but complainers about MQ on this board -- no one is acting on what is happening. If you're wanting to have a voice and effect change, you have to do something. MQ has provided an avenue to accept complaints in a timely and professional manner. Use it. Fill out a complaint form. Get your fellow complainers to do that. Have their inboxes jammed full of those complaints -- legitimate, professional, formal complaints. That is the mechanism MQ put into place to handle problems and complaints and, by federal regulation, they must abide by their own policies and procedures. Try it at least.

aren't you the brilliant one

Can hardly see through the tears here...that was beyond beautiful!!!

Peace...out.

I'm in tears over Elliott
What a great, great guy. I'm sorry, but Kat sure came off poorly tonight, and her mother's little "take that" for the camera while Elliott was getting his goodbye was in very poor taste.  I would have loved to have had Taylor and Elliott in the finals together. I would have been happy no matter who won then. I have a 19-year-old son, and I'd be so, so proud to have him carry himself with the dignity that Elliott did tonight. I'm am so sad for him, but I hope that something good comes for him out of this.
thanks, i need it. I'm in tears today

If you're so brilliant then, why aren't you in a better line of work?
1. Surgeon.

2. Attorney.

oh, and yes, my brilliant one - what year exactly did you graduate with your Ph.D. from Harvard?

Emergency question for brilliant computers techs. sm
I just had a weird experience with my computer.  The screen looked like it was shaking.  I thought it was in Word at first, but the desktop was doing this also.  It was like a wavy line was going down the screen, part of it would jump a little bit, then below it some more would jump.  It was almost like a wave pattern to the side, I could see the edges of the screen moving in and out.  I thought I saw this yesterday once or twice, but decided it was my eyes.  It wasn't, this was definitely real.  It lasted for approximately a minute.  Is this something to worry about?  TIA. 
BUT, you are brilliant. Keep up the good work! You are my hero for today! nm

fractures, tears..yada
I broke my R hand about 15 years back.  Had to work, was the only one bringing in the money as my ex boyfriend was laid off.  So I wrapped my hand and went to work.  I would transcribe until it hurt so much that I had to take a break.  Went to the ladies room, put cold water on it and went back to work.  In 2003, I sustained a R rotator cuff tear.  No medical insurance and the only one, once again, bringing in the money.  I put my R arm in a sling and worked.  Had to pick up my R hand and place it on the keyboard and then was able to type.  Took it one step at a time.  You can do it..Over the years, when I have had trials and tribulations, I have realized when you need to make the money, you will do it..whether in physical or emotional pain.
OMG, I'm in tears I'm laughing so hard!
That is so funny!
Wow! you brought tears to my eyes sm
I was all ready to be blasted and your post actually brought tears to my eyes.  I know it isn't ME because the same ME was barely making $10 an hour average on the account I was assigned before I got the one I'm on now and have been on for the last 2 years.  I thank my higher power every day for my luck and will never forget that awful account I had before this one. 
This brought tears to my eyes. sm
I loved this. I love animals and this shows how loving an animal can be.
OMG I can't see through the tears!!! Absolutely hilarious! Made my day...thanks!!!

This was good. There is no time for tears, arguments when you are

Thank you all for your support... it brought tears to my eyes.

Seriously, I really appreciate all your supportive advice and thoughts! I have decided after being treated like this and putting up with it for too long, to look for another job or maybe even another career.  I wish I could quit on them right on the spot without notice, but I have decided to show them what class or professionalism is, even in this bad situation. (Of course, if they do not pay me, then I will quit immediately.)  I can only hope they treat their next MT with some courtesy and respect which we all deserve. 


 


Hugs to you all ~


 


I too am feeling the same.. almost in tears and really feel like quitting altogether!! So you are n

i gave blood, sweat, and tears as a QA person -
I tried for over a year with a very lame lady who supposedly graduated from one of the *top 3* schools and was a former nurse. She had a terrible ear, little to no comprehension, and was clueless on how to even use her reference books! She was hands down the worst MT out of dozens of people I worked with. The point is this - You can usually tell pretty early if someone is worth training or not. What does your gut say?
I'll say this again, tears are NOT necessary. Determination is. As well as a sound intellect. sm
You CAN do it! Good luck.

"touching Frank on a personal level".  ROFL!  Oh, geez!  Yeah, yeah, mind in the gutter and all that. 
What a heart-warming story. It brings tears to my eyes.
I can't wait for chapter 2 of this soap opera.
Minimum Wage, as I read this tears began to well in my eyes ...

You, like some of the other posters, reflect a clear understanding of the downward trend this industry has taken over the last few years and the mindset of those who caused it.  You mention so many experiences that resonate with my own.  Most notably, I like you, put all of my eggs into this one basket, foolishly believing that this wonderland profession that I had found would last forever.  It was a perfect fit for my skills, abilities, and work preference.  I was able to make an excellent living and felt that somehow I was making a meaningful contribution to the care of each patient whose chart came to life under my fingers. 


It is amazing to me how each year the profession requires more and more knowledge from us, more skill, more ability, more dedication, more resources ... and in direct correlation to what is demanded from us our pay is cut more and more and without apology.  I mentioned in another post that I remember when I first got into MT'g some 20+ years ago hearing the Powers That Be constantly resentfully complaining that we made too much money and were no more than glorified typists.  Who could have known that one day they would finally all band together and make an industry-wide collective effort to correct what they felt was an unacceptable dynamic? 


It seems that everyone directly and indirectly involved in the process of transcription is valued and compensated well for their contribution to the process -- everybody except us --  the ones who actually make the final work product a reality. 


Thank you for your contribution to this thread.

MQ drop down box
Came with the new update @ 4:00 am yesterday, the one that had the system shut down for 2 hours.  Gave plenty of notice and if you check the little box next time you go into DocQmanage, you can read all about the new and improved :)
I would drop by

I always pursue until they tell me that they have gone with someone else.  I am not super aggressive I just let them know I am interested.  But it does sometimes take a while to get an answer but it sure wouldn't hurt to drop a brochure by or at least mail one out.  Whose grandson was screaming in the background?  If it was your MIL that could have been a turn off but not sure.  Anyway good luck, see if she will let you become the Public Relations and you start pursuing accounts.  


 


Let's drop this

I have getting lots of email with SUPPORTIVE ANSWERS to my questions. The rest on this board are a bunch of hostile women too lazy to read what I wrote. I took early retirement because my children are defending a bunch of slackers ande users in Afghanistan and Iraq and there are three grandchildren to keep. I live a four hour round trip from the other grandma they are living with. I am not trying to cheat ANYONE you nasty. I was trying to find out HOW to become an IC and WHAT the best tax options were. Don't tell me YOUR sorry behind is paying unecessary taxes. It is PERFECTLY LEGAL TO HAVE THE TAX TAKEN OUT OF HIS PAY. Till I got sick and my children were deployed, I was the breadwinner in this family and I earned $60K a year. Then I had heart failure, diabetes and lost toes in my feet and I STILL worked. But I will not toss my grandchildren out. I am 62 and I HAVE to work but I cannot work full time. That bothers you? If it was immoral or illegal, then the government would not ALLOW you to work and collect social security at the same time, you fool. But they DO, but ONLY UP TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT. If you can't answer a simple question, stop bashing me. I am not doing a singlething immoral or illegal and I have had four offers already from THIS web site that are within my restrictions. If it was illegal, would they do it??? NOT!


Now drop it and leave me alone.
