My Golden does that same exact thing every evening at the

Posted By: Goldy on 2006-01-16
In Reply to: My Lab does something we call "butt tucking".... - SM

exact same time, 9:30 p.m. This usually happens after she is finished eating. We leave her bowl down 24/7 and she eats whenever she is hungry, so food never became an issue. She tends to eat mostly in the evening around 9 PM and she gets energy spurts right after. How funny is that!

She is 4 years old and still plenty active. She is my best buddy though. Awesome breed, would never want any other.

Labs and retrievers must have exercise every day. We walk for at least 30 minutes with at least 15 minutes of free run for her in an open field.


Love my Golden!

I am going ot be 40 soon and the same exact thing!
Glad to hear it's normal. For me I think it is from always having a lot on my mind and stress can probably do it too.
I have run into the exact same thing

Where I trained (OJT training) it was always disc.  The second job I had, my primary used disc and all the secondaries wanted disk.  At my current job every client (so far) uses disk.  It can drive you crazy learning to do something a different way for each client and trying to remember it all, switching between them all day!


This is why flexibility is key.  AAMT rules don't mean squat to many doctors, and some insist on their eccentricities so THEY can tell its their own report and not someone else dictating under their name (which happens plenty, and isn't always caught).  I've had many literally make up words which cannot be found in any dictionary, but they insist you put them in their reports because its their product and up to them what they want it to say.


So I'd say if you want to blame anybody for any bad habits MTs have picked up in their years of experience - point the finger straight at the clients!  With effort we CAN unlearn bad habits, but who's to say the next client won't insist we learn a few more?


I'm going thru the same exact thing right now....
I live on a busy road AND they are building a 3-story building across the street. I just ordered a sleep mask (hope it works). Right now, I just blacken the room with black/out curtains (still not perfect, slivers of light still peek thru and I need black.

I hate ear plugs, uncomfortable and don't really work.

However, what I have found that does work is one of those sound maskers (I use waterfall sound). I also have a box fan running (if it's too cold I just face it somewhere it won't blow directly on me. These too things, along with the room-darkening curtain liners seem to do the trick pretty well. I'm hoping the mask will help some more.

I've also heard people had good luck with those air-whooshing-type sound machines. Right now I just have one of those little ones that play a variety of sounds...waterfall, rain, tropical forest, etc.

Good luck!
I think I'm going through this exact thing now

I've been with this current company for over a year now, and suddenly I have been having a lot of 'strange' things happening lately.  The queues seem manipulated, I get jobs pulled back when I'm more than halfway through, my pay has been short, etc.  They say these are all mistakes or accidents, so they're making me feel like it's all in my imagination.  Can you tell me through email the name of the company he was talking about?  I would really, really appreciate it just for some peace of mind that I'm not totally paranoid here.


I think you should tell Dell that exact same thing
that you posted here ... about getting some guy named Bobby that can't even speak English! Let's not forget the hours of time you spend on the phone repeating sentences and questions over and over again.
That is the exact same thing that happened
to me at MQ.
I was told that exact same thing.
Even got it in writting. Very difficult account (marjority ESL) and changed my work types completely. However, 13 days later they sent out an e-mail (to the entire office - not just me) that if quota was not met then the benefits were gone. When I confronted them with this, I was told there was no exceptions. Needless to say, I spent approximately 8 hours of OT getting my quota (of course not paid OT, just the lines), as I also have got to have the insurance. If you have a good supervisor though, they probably will work with you.
YES YES ! Same exact thing. On the worst day you can't even

The big thing with them seems to be that it MUST BE in the EXACT same CONDITION as
purchase. I was on the end of returning and did get a timely refund.
I know how you feel. i did the exact same thing. sm
i recently took employee job too for the benefits and PTO but i am so used to not having a schedule that it has been really, really hard and also extremely hard to be productive with both accts. i am at the point i am not making either happy.

if with the employee job if you think you could earn more there in the long run and have more stability, i'd talk to them about your difficulties sticking to a schedule. if they found you to be a good employee, most will work with you on strictness with schedules.

if not and you are not really getting PTO and benes, the reason you took it to start with, why stay there when it sounds like you want the flexibility more? you didn't give reasons why you were treated unfairly. where they unhappy with your TAT or work or something to that matter that you could eliminate that happening in the future and consider how long ago that was. if it was a long time ago, i'd forget about it and stay there and make them happy.
I had this exact same thing - what worked for me SM

Just like the other poster suggested - I got another wrist gel pad and put it on the floor in front of my pedal - WORKED GREAT!  My heel was simply sore from rubbing on the hard floor and this has worked wonders for me.


I actually bought the long one, the one that goes in front of my keyboard so I don't have to worry about the little one sliding around and it has been one of the best things I've done.  No more heel pain for me!


I do the exact same thing... take breaks often..nm

Same exact thing happened with me too...sm
Last week and this week.
I was just looking on this site for the EXACT same thing!!
//
The exact same thing happened where I used to
work - the verbal 'warnings', written 'warning', then termination. And of course, all based on bogus allegations of 'noncompliance' if you couldn't keep up with the impossible production goals, or the QA for which the specs were changed daily. And if you spoke up about it you were 'insubordinate'. I just wish unemployment were open-ended and could last indefinitely. If that were the case, I'd jump off this merry-go-round in an instant for an unemployment check. At least it'd be something I could count on, which MT, sadly, is NOT.
same exact thing happens to me since I started coming here

Exact same thing, transcribing and oblivious
and only 35 miles away from NYC. I finally got a call at 10 a.m. and could not work the rest of the day. Waiting to hear about a relative and other people I knew that worked there was extremely difficult. It was a day I will never forget.
Exact thing happened to me when I worked at
a local hospital (on site).  The manager looked into it but nothing was ever done and it kept happening.  I ended up leaving and working at home - so far, so good after about 8 months on the job.  If people don't want to do ESLs they shouldn't be MTs. 
Golden Retriever! Love my golden! nm

Same exact thing except baked potatoes. NMsg

Unbelievable how people have different definitions of the exact same thing
You said, "I just wanted to isolate myself at home on evenings and weekends".

A "social butterfly type" wouldn't have made that observation about herself. You made a decision to isolate yourself, which you of course have every right to do because most of us here do the same thing.
exact same thing, like excruciating to extremely grrr

Exact thing happened to me recently too, someone by the name of Marcia...

It was the strangest thing!  I cannot for the life of me figure out why she would invest so much time and effort, tell me she wanted me to start ASAP, and then never contact me again.  I refused to give her the satisfaction, though, of calling HER back!


Went through that exact same thing with EDiX. They sent that stuff overseas in a heartbeat, and the

The same exact thing happened to me and the seller refunded my money. He had done a horrible job
If you put it in a poster frame it may help.  It was for my daughter and she wasn't overly picky at the age of 10 and it was Hilary Duff I believe.
What about if you came the evening before and Thanksgiving day later in the evening? sm
This way it wouldn't interfere too much with the actual holiday and their plans.  Just an idea on how to compromise.
Absolutely, will have it set up by this evening.

the last wedding I went to was in the evening and...sm

most of the guests were wearing black.  Of course, it was elegant dresses, with sequins and sparkles.  It actually made the pictures turn out wonderful, very classy looking. Black can be fun, if you dress it up. If you are wearing say a black skirt, pair it with a flashy top, sequins, etc, if the wedding is at night.  As for daytime, I think I'd steer clear of black and opt for something bright or neutral.  Of course, this is JMHO, of course.  Anyhow, the most important thing is to be there to support the new couple and, most of all, have fun! Best wishes to the bride and groom!


 


great - i will email you later this evening
and let's see if we can find a match for you!

A big bowl full of freshly-made, sweet, kettle-corn popcorn!


Oh....... YEAHHHHH !!!!  


Our Golden used to be that way sm
I found that if I ignored the storm and went about my daily routine, he calmed down. Also, if you have the tv on with the all the weather announcements that go beep, beep, beep, trying putting the tv on mute. I found the noise with those announcements drove him nuts. He's much better if he doesn't hear that constant beep, beep, beep. We also took him outside to see the sky, play in the rain, etc. It worked. He's no longer afraid. Lots of petting worked,too. Good luck!
Golden Isle

Does anyone know anything about Golden Isle medical transcription?


The Golden Girls...
I love the Golden Girls...though it does come on Lifetime I think like 5-6 times a day...I love that show!
I have a Golden Retriever that needs her walk every day, sometimes
twice a day. I walk 2 miles daily and go to the gym at least 3x a week. No big butt here, although I have noticed things shift as we get a little older. I am 39 and my boobs shift to my armpits (LOL) Any exercises for them?

Golden Isles Transcription - sm

Question for anyone who has been with them long enough to form an opinion!  How is work availability and pay scale?  Do they offer vacation time?  If not, do they allow you to take a week off (unpaid) for vacation.  How flexible is scheduling? How are the QA people?  I have checked the archives and cannot find a whole lot.  Maybe a fairly new company? TIA!


Don't get hung up with the golden handcuffs. (SM)

It is so easy to convince yourself you cannot make as much money at a different company  or on a different account, or never find anything better, so you stay where you are, taking all the abuse in the world.  In management, this is called the Golden Handcuff, and they rely on it to keep the same employees, never give a raise, never give respect, and just continue to walk all over you.


In this profession you are very mobile if you can transcribe at all.  It may take a month to get used to a new system, a new account, or whatever, but your self respect is worth it in the end.  There are a lot of companies out there that actually do appreciate employees, and it certainly does not seem to be any of the companies who are mentioned frequently on these boards.


I changed jobs about a month ago, thought I would never learn, but in a week I was making far more with a small MTSO than I ever did with a large company.  Treat yourself to a new beginning and a new year. 


 


 


 


 


A 3yo yellow lab and a 2yo golden retriever. sm
Believe me, they keep me busy! The yellow lab is a freak about his rubber ball - has to have it with him every second or he goes crazy. The golden retriever is still very much a baby but is getting better. Both of these breeds are considered a "puppy" until they 3yo, so I'm patiently biding my time til they leave the puppy stage. I love them to death, tho, and can't imagine life w/o them. The lab is the absolute best dog I've ever had. Great with the kids, good protectors.
Golden Isles Transcription? sm

Can anybody tell me anything good or bad about Golden Isles Transcription.  They have an opening for oncology account.  Thinking about jumping out of the Medquist boat.  Anybody?

Black IS proper evening formal attire. Sounds gorgeous.

Well I just finished watching Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. How that for an evening. N
:
People have no patience anymore. I gave a $10.00 donation and I got an email the next evening.

I think since these people also have a transcription service, no one should expect an instant response.  Besides, it's more about giving than getting anyway. 


Yup - 80 lb golden retriever loves to lay right at my feet. sm
She also likes to lay right at my chair, so when I roll it, I am always on her tail or something. She drives me crazy too. She has to be everywhere I am. Love her to death tho! Don't want to be without her.

Golden cuffs! sounds kinky or more like
socialism again.  Why doesn't the owner have a right to profit from his/her/their investiment?  This isn't a debate about what profit is acceptable and what isn't.    As another poster said, it isn't YOUR money on the line.  I bet you would B&M no what what job you did, who you did it for or what standards (or lack of standards) you would be held to or not wish to be held to.  You either get it or you don't.  This issue isn't confined to the MT business...which brings a question to mind...if you feel you are being mistreated, you must like it because you don't seem to be getting out of it!  I firmly believe in capitalism...what can I say, I'm a fan of Ben Franklin!
Everyone wanted me to wait, I just couldn't. We do have another dog, a golden, but he is my hubby's
dog. Just not quite the same. I like lap dogs and he weighs in at 120 pounds, too big for my lap. The two dogs get along great. The golden loves the fact that he now has someone to play with, as my other one was much too old to do anything but eat, sleep and potty, all in that order. There was quite a bit of adjustment, but it has worked out great.
When I was little I thought it was a giant golden potato chip- sm
we even called it that every year...don't remember how that got started though, funny now.
