Me too. He's absolutely right about the symbols
Posted By: of ancient winter solstice being confused sm on 2005-12-23
In Reply to: I agree with many of the points he makes. Why post this here? nm - MT
The Christmas tree, the yule logs, etc. all originated with the ancient pagan holiday of winter solstice. It wasn't until after Constantine in 300 a.d. that they started being accepted as Christian. I think the author went a little overboard towards the end of the article, but the last sentence was just a play on Tiny Tim's words "God bless them everyone." Only his play on words accurately describes the attitudes of many professed Christians when anyone dares to point out that all of the so-called Christmas symbols were avoided by the earliest Christians. I am a Christian, but I don't celebrate Christmas, and usually when I mention that, the attitude that I get from the Christians that do celebrate it is downright scary sometimes. So I can understand fully the sentiment the author of the article had when he used the play on Tiny Tim's words. In fact, once when trying to discuss it, I was even told "oh, go to ----." Not much different than the opposite of "bless" that the author used in his last sentence.

Try the paragraph mark in standard toolbar next to zoom icon.

Go to toolbar, insert/symbols, the symbol panel comes up, is that what you mean?
symbols on job board?
Don't mean to appear dumb, but when looking at the job seekers board, what does a fire flame next to the post mean?
I think there should be a post by the administrator as to what those symbols mean
because we all wonder the same thing when we are new to this site.
Stedman's abbreviations; aconyms; and symbols--sm
and just plain Google. works for me!
What about Stedman's Abbreviations, Acronyms & Symbols, new or used?

Microsoft Symbols short cut Keyboard Sheet
Hi. Does anyone have or know where I can find a Microsoft Symbols Keyboard short cut list for various symbols including degree, Greek letters, etc. I know how to do it the slow way but I know they make keyboard shortcut lists. Any help would be appreciated.
My Word 2002 shows plus or minus symbols in outline view.
Are you sure you're in outline view?
Absolutely, I absolutely love my job and

Stay at the Polynesian - it's right on the Disney Property and it is OH SO LUXURIOUS! Very reasonably priced, too for what you get. They have a great luau (sp?), and you can walk out your hotel room and hop on the tram straight into the park.
Speaking of parks, you MUST to go Epcot and bring lotsa de casha for the country of Germany - they have colored crystal that will knock your socks off and your pocketbook clear out of your purse.
IT IS TO DIE FOR! THE POLYNESIAN AND EPCOT!

...the immature vitriolic attitude some people on this board have. If it bothers you so much to see what may seem to you a no-brainer question posted, please feel free to move on, sparing us your crappy, holier-than-thou attitude. I'm absolutely ashamed to have people like you part of my MT community.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
MQ has hurt too many people and their families. I don't even work for them, but the hospital that I work for bought their DQS program, which is wonderful, but it also included the DocQmanage program which CHEATS TRANSCRIPTIONISTS!

I agree with you! However, I do not consider people taking necessities to survive "looters." HUGE difference with someone taking shoes, jewelry, TVs, and nonessential items. These are 2 different classes totally. People trying to survive should not even be compared to a looter. I was all for shooting any and all looters that were caught in the act!

I've been working a 13-hour per day schedule recently (getting ready for changes coming up). While I do slow down by the end of the day, I'm still holding quite steady and a decent line count. I've been accomplishing anywhere from 3016 (my low so far on the 13-hr schedule) to 3653 (my high so far on this schedule). TOUGH? YES! Possible??? Absolutely.
Absolutely! Go for it!

Certainly the length of time it would take to complete the transcript would be dependent on a lot of things, but I personally would not bid less than $40 per audio hour, and due to the availability requirement of -- "I need for you to indicate your days and hours of availability. These
days and hours should NOT be flexible. These should be the days and
times that you are ALWAYS available to work. You will be receiving jobs
during these days and hours without advance notice and you are expected
to do them, no excuses."
I would not even do it for the $40 mentioned above.
no you are absolutely not alone!!! nm

Absolutely not. They will appreciate it more
and will take better care of it if they have to work for it. We obtained a loan for our son to have his car and then he had to pay us back monthly, as well as keep up his insurance payments, car repairs, etc. However, I do know that A LOT of parents feel it is a requirement for them to buy their children cars. I personally think that is asking for trouble in the long run. Nothing in this life is free and kids need to know that, especially since they're getting ready to enter the real world.

I've been doing this for 20 years...don't want to do anything else.
Absolutely NOT. I take
every single job that comes to me...good, bad...long, short...do my best and go on to the next job.

I have hired numerous MTEC graduates, and have not had a problem with any of them. They are excellent MTs. The program is worth every penny. 3 of the girls I hired five years ago are now making over 25/hour on production.
Absolutely yes!
The question really should be, if Michelle were healthy enough to skate at nationals, would she have been on the team. With all else being equal, she would have been in the top 3 and therefore would have gone anyway.

I have worked for over 25 years for a major medical institution as an MT, and it all goes away in two weeks. First came outsourcing to India (clinic AND academic), and now comes the EMR. There is very little for me to do these days, except try to edit what little academic comes through from India. I have come to the sad conclusion that quality doesn't matter when it can be done so much cheaper overseas, broken English isn't that big a deal when it all gets dumpted into an EMR anyway, and that now, at the age of 49, I have to find something else I can do to get by until retirement, since I honestly believe outsourcing is here to stay. Physicians with whom I've had a wonderful working relationship through the years have practically ignored me the last few months. One doctor half-heartedly offered me something for two days a week, but it was too little, too late, and too sad for me to accept. I would never, ever promote this field to anybody, since when I see an entire medical center outsource and go totally EMR, there just is no demand for what I do any more.
Absolutely not
MT is a dead-end, no respect, joe-job with no room for advancement, best suited to people with limited social skills and low expectations for themselves. Anyone who wants to better themselves instead of stagnate in limbo should move on. I have.
Not from PA, NJ.... but absolutely looking
for a different company. Let me know if you still want me to drop you an e-mail. Thanks for your reply.

I work for a national as an IC doing acute care from home. My schedule is flexible, I have direct deposit, and I get great feedback from QA and my supervisor. I am not "hounded" by anyone. I am left to do my work in peace, which is the way I work best. Wouldn't have it any other way!
Absolutely.
Hey Absolute~
You have my DREAM job!!! :)
Absolutely!
 Can't wait for sunrise services !
You are absolutely right. I think
because this is an anonymous board people think they can be rude to one another. Would those same people make the same comments to their friends faces if asked the same questions? I don't think so.
You are absolutely right!
It's all about the Lord and resurrection day! My only daughter will be out of pocket so it'll be pretty quiet here!
