STEELCASE LEAP CHAIR nm
xx
Love my Steelcase Leap Chair (sm)
bought it on-line with free shipping. Went to a local office supply and got a written quote for their bottom dollar then faxed it to an online store and they knocked off another $100. Can't remember the exact name of store, but if you're interested let me know, and I will look it up. It is the most comfortable chair I've ever had; Neutral Posture and Aeron just didn't work for me.
I have problems with low back pain from an old injury and now I work without pain.
Turn off puter, wait a min, turn on with delete key pressed down, then hit delete key NUMEROUS times

The Word board doesn't have much traffic for
many reasons. Some of us are tired after working our own shifts and don't want to feed answers to people who are equally as capable of looking them up as we are. I use entirely Internet based references. If I have that free access to references, so does everyone else on these boards. From my own experience, it's easier and faster to look my questions up myself. In addition, I learn more from doing my own research. If I can't find it, I flag it and send it to QA. That's their job, not the job of those of us here. Word board answers aren't always accurate either. Finally, people are ungrateful if nobody answers their questions quickly enough. That's why I stopped going there. Grumpy little untrained newbies giving tongue lashings because we didn't do their work for them quickly enough. Half of them can't say thanks either. It's sink or swim out there. People have to figure out how to do for themselves.
Doesn't this belong on the productivity board?

I hope that student doesn't read this board. sm
I don't think this was a good place to look for a laugh at a student's expense, even though I suspect you weren't intending to be mean or condescending. We were all there once.
After 30 years in this business, much of it in QA and QA management, I've gone back to transcription and I am still learning things from my QA people. Humiliating at times, yes! But its all a learning process. 
who are you anyway. Why doesn't the NEW OWNER of the board respond? That is my question.
At least I keep using my same initials of ss. You and others donot even do that, so the few of us who are on this board do not know who we are even talking to.
Does anyone find the search feature on this board doesn't work right?
I can't ever seem to find the old posts that I know are there by using the search feature. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?
Ugh! Negative, negative experience!!
I had an injury this past year that necessitated me purchasing Dragon Professional. Total cost approximately $1000 by the time I purchased the "good" microphone from Knowbrainer. I'm thankful everyday I had the option of using Dragon to get me through my injury but I hope to God that I never have to use it again as it drove me nuts and my production was so low. I averaged four hours a day more in my chair than usual, but were it not for Dragon, I'd have lost all my clients. The program is "iffy" from day to day in its ability to be "accurate." I trained the h out of it but still had problem after problem. If I had to do it over again and use Dragon for a short period of time, I would, but I can't imagine using it long term. Just my experience.
Sorry, but your schedule doesn't justify making up your own rules. Use the word board for word q

Why are YOU attacking HER? Just because she doesn't want kids, doesn't mean she needs a psychi
xx
you seem negative
its very frustrating, do you want to receive 20% less in your pay???? are we not allowed to vent on this board.. How come you are so agreeable to lose 20% of your income?
Yeh I have ignored the negative ones
Even though it really surprised me that people would actually post that reaction. There is a heck of a lot more good advice that I have taken in and as for therapy, I need that too. I don't usually open up to people in my life, I write things down, journal things, so coming to a message board seemed like a good idea to me, to get other perspectives. Thanks for the caring response.
Not to be negative but . . .
I think you'd have more luck organizing a media blitz to get Paris Hilton out on early release. :(
negative
Okay, just checking!
You ARE very negative!
You ARE discouraging and very rude when you talk about newbies not knowing enough and old fashioned Mt's "worked for it." What kind of comment is that?! How the heck do you know what they worked for or not if you have never taken those courses?! And, speaking of your "QA" experience, have you EVER trained (honestly) an MTEC or Andrews graduate?! There IS a difference! And weren't you the one that paid $5000 for YOUR "education" 15 years ago?! All these schools charge less now, AND give you more experience than ANY community college out there! Are you saying that your education is better, even if you paid more, learned less, but just because it was at an actual "location" where you could spend more money on gas to get there? Are you kidding me?!
Don't mean to be negative, but even
with your background summarizing 1000s of medical records, have you actually listened to a medical dictation? Summarizing written files is something entirely different than actually sitting down and listening to/transcribing a medical report. It is not as easy as the schools would lead you to believe. I would try legal transcription before getting into this profession.
why are you being so negative? sm
She has found a good job. It may never go to VR. The company I am working for hasn't gone to VR at all and doesn't plan to. Why not be happy for this person. I just don't understand trying to discourage someone.
Wow. Negative much?
There are some of us out there who do enjoy the profession and actually make money at it. Research your school carefully. Most schools will have stats on their grads who get jobs. Find out what percentage it is. Go with your gut. I have heard about those other two that you mentioned, but I didn't go to them, and I ended up with a good job.
Keep in mind, though, that this is not an industry where you will make a lot of money your first year. Even with a paid internship - that just means you're going to get minimum wage to do a lot of work. It'll be good experience, though. I barely broke minimum wage my first year, but I knew going into it that would be the case.
I can tell you that I make significantly more than that now, though. It is still possible.
Please don't delete - We need you!
I do not understand why this post continues to be deleted. I am simply stating what you have already said in your statement to the board. It IS sad to think that this wonderful board, who has been so supportive of American MTs, seems to have given up the good fight. I truly believe if legislation to enforce HIPAA regulations, as well as regulations on financial records, is focused on, rather than simply trying to compete monetarily with offshoring (which, frankly, we cannot do), we will have a real chance of at least stopping the flow of medical and financial personal records from leaving this country. Just because outsourcing exists does not make it right, and as long as we continue to fight it there is a chance to make a real difference. There are still many, MANY physicians for whom the "bottom line" is not the most important aspect of transcription, and many others who have experience offshore transcription first hand and realize the quality is not there. As long as there are people in this industry like Sheri with integrity and the willingness to fight for what they believe, even if it is against the odds, there is hope. THAT is why I am quite saddened to see this particular forum, one of the staunchest supporters of US-only transcription for US physicians, fall by the wayside. I don't think I"m bashing anyone. I'm just hoping you will reconsider. We need people like you!!
I just hit DELETE.
I never say a word to them
Delete what???
At what point does delete that go to far? It's an op note and I get the pre and post diagnosis, procedure, surgeon, asst, anesthesia, etc. Then she goes on to hpi, ros, fh, sh, meds, allergies, and exam. After exam she realizes that she's doing an op note and tells me to delete that and start over from preop diagnosis. Needles to say she was an extremely difficult to understand ESL, wasted about 20 minutes of typing time that I won't get paid for and I had to split my shift.
Sorry y'all it was vent or scream. I chose the vent to not wake up the family.
delete it
when i worked in editscript, i typed right through microsoft word. it was prerequisite that i get rid of all msworks or it would mess everything up. i would delete msworks.
delete key
The reason the delete key is not above the arrow keys is that with this keyboard you will do as much work with your thumbs as possible. This is part of what makes it ergonomic, & I would strongly suggest re-learning "delete" in its current position rather than try to circumvent their system. When I first got my Kinesis keyboard 7 years ago I went through a whole relearning process that was kind of slow & frustrating but worth it in the long run, & now I'm glad I didn't try to do an end-run around their thought process.
But you program keys this way:
Hit "Program" (upper right-hand corner) + F11. The 4 keyboard lights will flash quickly. Then hit the key you want to reprogram. The lights will flash slowly. Then keystroke what you want the key to do. When you are finished hit Program + F11 again. The lights will go out. It's programmed.

There is a big difference between being negative
and being realistic. The young woman is a single mother with a 5-week-old infant. I never said she shouldn't become an MT. In fact, in my next post, I told her that it sounded as if she had done her research quite well and had the interest and abilities to do it. I also told her how I managed when my kids were young by working sporadically. FWIW, I was a single parent during part of that time, too, and newbie income as an MT did NOT pay the bills or support the kids. And believe me, I'm no dummy. I had stars in my eyes when I started out because those ads are everywhere telling mothers that they can make $40,000 a year starting out. I wish someone had told me the harsh realities of working at home then. I didn't know we'd have to be chained to our desks for the majority of the nationals. I didn't know how difficult it would be trying to listen to ESLs while the kids were clamoring for attention, but I just had one more little report to finish up. I've seen a lot of people who wasted a lot of money on MT courses only to find out this wasn't their cup of tea. Mothers get sucked into believing that any half-trained monkey can do MT work and care for an infant at the same time. It's not true. It doesn't require a PhD in rocket science, but it's best to find out if you'd like it or not BEFORE spending all that money on training.
Negative Ads about Cynde and Myself.
Thank you for saying that she has paid the outstanding invoices but the negative mark is still there as long as people can read these reports. Not only is it not true but it is a defamation of character on both her and my part. Can anything be done about it.
MTs always negative on these boards? hmm? NM................
zzzz
I don't find it negative at all.
This board is a wonderful board and a great source of information. I don't find it negative in the least. Why in the world would you?
I am considering using VR for my transcribing. Does anyone have any NEGATIVE
comments about using VR? Best program? Like to know what to be prepared for. May be my only hope to continue in transcription due to wrist problems. Thanks.
of negative posters
Geez aren't you just full of encouragement and help! Could you be any more negative??? Glad you're out of the business 2.
I love my job, am not negative about it at all, but I know what you mean
Sometimes this particular board is full of "the sky is falling" doom and gloom.
I don't see that about MT at all - it's always been great for me. I love my job and look forward to working every day.
(And I get paid well for it!)
I think YOUR post is way too negative.

Delete resume
I am trying to delete my resume from the bank and can modify but can't figure out how to delete it. Help, please.
why do you want to delete your resume - sm
are you getting too many calls for work??? If you are, then I want to put my resume on there!!!
Please delete the below posts
Thank you.
Please Delete my Post.
Now I am Jodi, what do you say?
Delete them.........esp if you no longer do them...
For private MDs, I only keep their diskettes 6 months, since ALL the work and an additional diskette has been provided when I returned the work.........
If you worked for a national, you need to send the diskettes to them I would think.........that is, IF you worked for a national MT company. If not, I'd just delete them..........keeping the floppies for myself.........for future....(yep, I still use floppy disks...*LOL*).........
You say you can't cancel it - does that mean you can't delete it?
Have you tried using both the delete button on your keyboard and the delete icon in Outlook Express?
If your camera came with any kind of software, you should be able to reduce the size of the pictures so that this won't happen again. A lot of times I will do a test email and send the picture to myself to be sure it isn't too large.
If your camera didn't come with software and you don't have Photoshop (and don't want to spend the bucks for Photoshop), there are lots of freeware/shareware downloads for basic photo editing software. Just Google it and I'm sure you will find something that fits your needs.
not sure on this, but maybe just delete and replace nm

Delete the abbrev and put it in again sm
You have inadvertently hit the enter key at some point in this process. If you have added it as a Smart Block, this is just what happens and is why I don't use that facet of it in Word.
Delete Key question
Forgive my ignorance, but is there any way I can assign another key to work as a delete key? - Thanks!
Delete manually
C\:Documents and Settings
Select the User and there you will find a folder "Favorites" usually with a star icon. Open and delete the links manually in it.
Have any of you editors ever scored anyone at a negative 27% before?
I went over this several times and I keep getting the same score. I have never had this happen before and am wondering if anyone else has. This is beyond me and I have no clue what to do. Under comments on my score sheet, I just put "I don't even know what to say." Any feedback is appreciated.
Think you need to do more research than the negative answers you are getting.
They have at least 2 platforms, Dictaphone and Merit. Not sure about all this offshoring stuff, but there is more than enough work. The Dictaphone platform is much better than Merit. I am able to use my text Expander or it has a built-in one. You need to do some searching on the company board on the archives, as there are happy MTs working for Medware.
You musta posted something negative

There are some negative posts about them on a search. nm

I don't know - I find Kikki very negative myself
don't even bother reading her comments because they are so anti. JMO
Funny, I don't find her negative at all!
the negative posters were being facetious..NM
