at the article. I really need to work for a change. Will read it later. It seems to me that this report was generated by the people in charge of the system, please correct me if I am wrong like I say I only skimmed it. Will read it totally later on and get back to this hopefully tomorrow. Have a party to go to tonight.

You might want to peek at the MQ
Board - we get so many now that someone coined it the "cesspool" and the term stuck. When you see that term, it means your primary has run out, and then your managers book of business (6 or so accounts) and now you are getting anything from one end of the country to another - each with different client profiles and very detailed instructions. Hence the name. When that happens, you just feel like you are wading through thick muck! Hopefully things will change.
I got a peek at it one time......
it seemed awfully involved and time consuming but that's just my opinion...
would like to hear from, others myself, as there is a company that has asked me several times to work with them that uses this platform.
Ok-you have kicked yourself long enough.
At least they won't have to bury your mistake. Shoulders straight, head up, first thing Monday make that phone call and let the chips fall where they may. You have been good to them for four years; I'm betting they'll keep you. If not, move on.
You have a good healthy sense of having made an error - a lot of people would have just said, "oh well." The best thing to do with errors is identify them, own them, rectify if possible, and then shut up. People who just have to pound someone into the dirt - especially someone who realizes and feels bad about their mistake - well, they have got a serious problem and should have had their heads pinched off at birth.
You are going to be fine - come back and tell us how it goes.
Good luck to you
hope I don't get kicked off for this
really felt like what you said was so rude about "what planet are you on" that I had to respond.
not sure. is Alabama a planet? 
Qwest kicked me off
Look at the fine print. Their "unlimited" is just like everyone else - only unlimited if you can prove you are using it for person-to-person calls. They kicked me off.
ExText kicked out
Hey ExText users, anyone have this problem. Once in my working document, Ctrl S to look at older saved documents, once in a while when sending old report back (Ctrl T) Extext dumps the document I'm working on (creates dump file). Does that happen to anyone else. I'm wondering if putting the document I'm working on in "hold" (Ctrl H) when searching through the older stuff would possibly prevent that. I don't think I'm hitting any other keystrokes, just sometimes dumps me, then have to reload everything, etc.
Just kicked the 3 CPL to the curb!
3 cpl for editing VR is RIDICULOUS and I'm fed up. I suddenly had an "epiphany" that this just was not worth my time and effort. Sometimes, if the jobs are easy enough to edit, its not a problem, so I tried to keep an open mind going into this, just to see if one could actually break even or make more than straight typing. HA! No more 3 cpl for me. Someone else can do it, but not me. 
person kicked off new APPRENTICE on TV..nm

You kicked your husband out, but the "mooch" is still there?
Am I missing something?
I didn't put up with it! I kicked my ex to the curb because I got tired of dealing with his SM
friends and incessant need to pretend he was a college boy, going to the bars, coming home drunk at 3 o'clock in the morning. Let me tell, nothing goods from letting your man hang out in bars with his buddies. NOTHING! If he needs to have a drink and relax, he can do that at home and the drinks are cheaper!
I can understand that it's hard for you not to give your friend your opinion. I can't hardly stand to see a woman letting a man treat her badly. It drives me crazy! Call me a feminist or a bra burner, but modern women need to get the message that we don't need men so badly we have to put up with all the garbage they hand out!
Don't worry - it kicked my butt for a LOT longer than 4 days,
and I've been in this business for over 30 years. It jujst takes time to absorb new information, and when you get so many things thrown at you at once, it takes even longer. Verifying pt. info. was a sticking point with me, too. The huge list of possible choices was hard to read, and there wasn't always a perfect match.
ALSO.... once you're considered "trained" and not under a microscope, little mistakes will be little to no issue. I think QA just gets a little picky during training, to try to get people started off doing things as correctly as possible.
Hang in there, and it'll all sort itself out in time.
:)
One embellished sentences, another did 200 reports and had 70 kicked back with errors.

Per Quick Look, it is

No. There is no quick fix. (nt)
NEED HELP QUICK.....
 I had to unplug my Infinity foot pedal from its USB port today and now my computer will not recognize it. I had this problem once before and I cannot remember how I fixed it. Finally I have some work and now the pedal won't work. HELP ME PLEASE.....thanks a lot.
I only use the Quick Look because...
the company bought it for me. I like it but it's gettin' old (2005) and missing a lot of new drugs. I sure could use an update or something, so I'll be paying attention to the thread you've started here as well. 
need help quick!
Suddenly my enter button is acting as a spacebar and not a return key! What do I do?
quick look
I bought the new version and found that I liked the old 2005 version that I had, because of the wild card function in the search. The newer one didn't have it. I just reinstalled the old one and add any new drugs as I find them through my daily work. Unfortunately, it now has a glitch that keeps me from opening the information about the drug in the index without locking up. At first I would close and come back in so that it would show, but I discovered that it would also work if you go into the appendix screens (any) before doing a search or using the index list. I like using the drug reference because it clearly lists the dosages and uses for each drug, and is quick to use. Since my account doesn't use a lot of brand new drugs it works fine for me this way.
A quick ?
Hello everyone, I am new to this board and just have a really quick question that I would like someone to answer please. On the MT job openings page when you click on an opening and in the employers description of the job they say to reply to and email address and then they list the address. However each job opening has a "apply now" tab at the bottom. Doesn't it just email your resume when you click that and submit it? You don't also have to copy the employers email address and then sign into your email and send a message to them that way too do you? Thank you,
Travis
Quick question for you, please?
Thank you for your advice. I just need to take it!!
But my question remains, perhaps I did overstep bounds by voicing my concerns for his depression and mentioning that his brother had also noticed it. He says I have betrayed him. What would you have done in this situation?
quick way to remember
Think of the Romans performing a play, like Julius Caesar....The ROMANS are on the STAGE.
Too quick on the buttons there.
Don't sign it. It sounds as if they have a pending lawsuit and are trying to make sure no one else joins in. If they call you about it, tell them you sent it over to your attorney to evaluate it. LOL It's NOT standard procedure. You don't have to sign it.
The one I got had nothing to do with age discrimination, but it was a similar type of Hold Harmless document.
quick change tip
I haven't tried this yet (our office isn't on the one space thing.. yet), but I wrote down this tip that was posted last time this issue was brought up: At the end of the report hit Ctr-Shft F, 2 spaces, tab, 1 space, Alta A to fix. It should switch all your double spaces to single spaces without having to remember to change the way you've been typing for 20 years.
quick, where's the Dramamine!
Quick punctuation help!
I told him to clean the area with hydrogen peroxide, and, after that, he can apply the Neosporin ointment.
How would the punctuation be on this sentence? Did I do it right?
Thanks in advance for the help..
Quick punctuation help!
Thanks so much for the help!
Quick punctuation help!
Thanks, I have been doing a grammer course.
Quick punctuation help!
Thanks so much!
Quick punctuation help! sm
Sorry, but it does not seem you received much help here. The truth is every typist has her own style. It seems that quite a few want to place a comma every time the doc pauses to take a breath or shifts a page. If that is what your own doc prefers, then go for it. Most do not, however.
Grammatically, you may use commas or not in this sentence, but none are necessary. It has been my own experience that doctors would rather have less rather than more in the case of commas. Believe it or not.
Quick punctuation help!
Thanks so much for the advice!
just a quick question. sm
You knew one of us would ask--you said so yourself.
First of all, I completely understand being stressed out and needing a vacation. But don't you think your kids deserve a vacation too? Teenagers generally have a huge amount of stress, and so can the younger ones. They probably need it as much as you do, and would definitely enjoy it. If you need some "me" time, there are almost always activities to do separately and most Florida hotels have a day camp type thing or daycare that's fun for them too, so you can still have some alone time.
I'm sorry, and I'll probably get blasted for saying it, but I generally think it's selfish to leave the kids out of something so cool. What did you tell them... "we get to go on this vacation because we're more special and deserve it more?"
Get to a Dr. ---my mom had this and it was CHF--it killed her quick-
get checked out.
quick, anyone working for...
DO YOU HAVE WORK TODAY???
I don't and I'm going insane! I left another job at another NATIONAL because of lack of work (betcha can't guess who) and now I feel like I'm in the same boat here...just wondering if it's me, my account, my supe, or what!
quick math
3,000 characters divided by 65 = 46.15 lines x .09 = $4.15.
3,000/74 cpl = 40.54 x .10 = $4.05.

Quick update. ~sm~
This is my favorite show. I have not missed an episode since it started. Here is a quick update on what has happened: Meredith is the star of the show. Her mother is Ellis Grey who was a famous surgeon at Seattle Grace. Her mother is now in an adult care facility as she has Alzheimer's. Meredith kept it a secret until her mother was admitted for medical reasons. Meredith and Dr. Sheppard had a one-night stand that developed into a relationship when she went to work for the first day and found him to be her boss. Then along comes Dr. Shepperd's wife Addison. They were separated because Addison had an affair with one of Derrick's best friends. Since Addison came into the picture, Derrick has ended things with Meredith trying to save his marriage, as he thinks it is the right thing to do, but he is in love with Meredith. George is the male intern who slept with one of the nurses (can't remember her name) but he is in love with Meredith and Meredith has no idea. Dr. Burke and Christina are living together. Christina has a hard time getting close to anyone or admitting her feelings. She and Burke are total opposites except for work, they are both devoted to being doctors. Izzy is a former model who put herself through med school by modeling in underwear. Alex is an arrogant (or appeared that way at first) intern who failed his surgical boards. He and Izzy developed a relationship, but he has not been able to be intimate with her, which has Izzy upset as she caught him with the same nurse that George slept with. Not sure what is going on here but I think Alex really cares for Izzy which makes him unable to perform, but when he is with someone that he is using, he has no problem. The chief of staff is a workaholic and it appears that he and Ellis Grey may have had an affair years ago. That should just about cover the basics. I do not watch much TV either and this is the first show besides reality TV that I must watch. Forgive any typos and not sure I have the spelling of all the names correct.
get rich quick
i'm looking to make extra money without having to do much. I've researched online and am even thinking of buying that book from that question mark wacky guy "free money from govt." Some programs that I have saved are secret shoppers and some other things, like real estate investor. Can anyone recommend anything out there that is NOT a scam, where you can make thousands in a month, not spend any of your own money, and has anyone bought that crazy guy's book about getting free money?
GET RICH QUICK..
Thats just for the lucky people that come upon something by accident. lol. If your looking, it will never happen. If you ask most rich people how they got rich, they will say I worked real hard for it, or I just got lucky... I tryed looking in to a few of the get money things, but they all seemed to be SCAMS to me.. If you do find any though, let me now.
Quick Question.. sm
I just started a new job doing mostly op notes and radiology. Whenever I start a new account, especially one with op notes, I like to look up a dictator's old reports just to get a feel for what he saying cause usually the procedure is the same over and over.
Anyway, when I was doing this I pulled an op report that had read "The patient was given adequate ella may anesthesia" for LMA anesthesia. I kid you not! I have also seen reports with a number of other grievous errors such as a pacemaker implantation that read "patient threshold" instead of pacing threshold, etc. I've noted the MTs' initials just for my own records so that I don't ever use any of their reports as a reference, but I am wondering if I should bring this to the attention of my supervisor and if I do bring to her attention, should I give her the MTs' initials? I hesitate only because I just started the job and I don't want to seem like a tattle tale or know-it-all. But seriously, these MTs' should absolutely not be doing op notes for sure. And I'm wondering where is the QA person in all of this? Why hasn't these kinds of errors been caught by now?
quick question
Well, know how you feel, I have run across this. I have indeed told me supervisor, given her the printed report...(I work in-house), and she can see the initials and deal with it from there. It all goes back to "THE GOOD OF THE PATIENT AND PATIENT CARE". Some errors I have seen could be very costly to the patient's well being.
Good for you in spotting these!
Quick ER rant
I swear, it seems like the network TV seasons get shorter and shorter. There will be one new episode, a month of reruns/specials, another new epi or 2, more reruns, and so on until the season ends in the beginning of May. And if you miss an epi, forget about seeing it during summer reruns. Seems like they stuck a new show in the time slot.
And that's why I love my cable, especially FX. If you miss a show, they'll be replaying it 500 more times during the week and sometimes even repeat the whole season of episodes.
No, really, we did not know. It was a very quick closing. nm

so quick to judge
come down to earth people.
I would like to take a quick poll...
Just for the sake of making myself feel better. Have any of you switched jobs frequently in the last 5 years while trying to find a nice "fit." I would like to look for a new job but just hate how it would look in my resume. I have had 3 jobs in 2 years and just can't seem to fine my niche. Anyone else move around like that trying to find a home?
GO WITH THE NEW COMPANY - BUT QUICK
I am so discouraged with MTing with Nationals that I would jump at the chance to do something else - especially if it were from home.
quick fix when you mess up ? sm
Highlight your upper case text, then hold down the shift key, and press the F3 key. Everything should revert to lower case.
Man, you're quick!
Thanks for the info!
Quick grammar ? You should already have OR You should have already (nm)

quick followup
You make some very valid points, and I thank you for your input. Speficially, in my case, I have no platforms to work with -- all docs use 1-800 or digital handhelds and exchange is done on FTP site - very simple copy/paste procedure. Work is done in Word. There isn't a doc on my service I haven't done MYSELF for at least 2 weeks when I took them on and asked myself are they worth keeping? Are they good dictators? (I have virtually no ESL dictators). Did I make money? Even those specialties I didn't know and was slow at, I could refrence to find out what I didn't know --critical in our work. I don't care when MTs work and I don't try to contact them until their work is OUT of TAT - and then often get "i got busy with other stuff" reply. Shouldn't it be ME you tell when you get busy so I can still accommodate the client as I agreed to? I know life happens, and things come up, but tell ME instead of hiding. That's just being responsible. If the work I've given you isn't a good fit, then tell ME and give me a day or two to replace you.. don't just say the heck with it and walk away. But then again, if everyone was responsible in that way, I wouldn't be sitting here on Christmas day catching up work from Friday because yet another new hire just "disappeared" on
Thursday and didn't tell me till yesterday. Maybe I'm just getting old, but seems common courtesy went out somewhere in the mid 90's. HA. Thanks for listening.
Quick Question
I am wondering about the ranges of income potential. My husband is driving me crazy with the money questions.
Any and all answers are appreciated !
Wizard is quick
I don't know that you are doing this, but I remember holding my foot on the pedal in the Wizard waiting it for tell me to lift it off...and it doesn't. Just put your foot on each pedal it asks you to identify just a couple seconds and lift up. Also, I found thru trial and error that you must remove the plug from the USB port each time to reset. Not saying you're doing either one of these wrong, but I certainly did.
