That reminds me of a new doc who sm
came on when I worked for the hospital. He wanted to impress everyone, too, with his dictation.Nothing was ever shorter than 20 minutes. One year later, his DC summaries were 30 seconds total and only after he was suspended for not dictating at all! So, they do change, sometimes not for the better.
by the looks of him, he reminds me of --sm
pee wee herman! yuk. Since he already has some very wide gaps in his story, I am beginning to wonder if he is just looking for his 15 minutes of fame. I hope he is the one, but now I have my doubts. time will tell.
Reminds me again of having
The American workers took forever, did not show up when they were supposed to, used my bathroom, and demanded beverages (not water). They wanted Pepsi. All they did was complain about the heat and also broke the filter so my husband had to go buy a new one. The cursed, brought their kids with them to play on the swingset in my backyard because they didn't have a sitter.
The landscapers who were Mexican, were quick and I mean quick, worked hard, showed up when they were supposed to, never asked to use the bathroom, and never demanded beverages. They brought their own. I offered beverages, they declined. They never curves, and their kids were left at home. They finished the job, it was wonderful, and we recommended this particular landscaping company all over time. I might add, they bid the job at half of the price of the 2-3 American landscaping companies we had come out. Now, who do you blame?

Hey, there's great stuff in there. Love Erma too! 
That reminds me of my dad
He said you NEVER ask anyone their salary, and if anyone had the nerve to ask you about yours, you had every right to lie to them! Tell them anything you wanted - the more obvious the lie, the better.
Ha! That reminds me
when I first starting hearing about Lipitor. I would always think of a boy's action figure and cartoon saying in a deep voice, "I am Lipitor!".
Reminds me of my "pet".
I kept feeling a little tickle on my leg. I figured it was one of my stray hairs or the fringe from the blanket that's across my chair. I looked down to find a huge nasty spider on my leg. I screamed and slapped at it. My shriek scared the heck out of the kids and made the dog go hide under the bed.
Your dog story reminds me of one of those
Amazing pet stories on Animal planet, about pets that end up adopting people and they actually turn out to do something extraordinary, it seems like she is there for a reason and even if you say you don't have much space, your love and attachement is obviously providing her with more than she had.....oh I'm a sucker on these cases.
Kellie just reminds me of....
yet another Baywatch cookie cutter stringy Barbie doll looking blonde. Katherine is truly a beautiful young woman. Maybe it's me, but I just don't find that bleach blonde look very distinctive. They all look alike to me. And yes, she's either a very good actress or dumb as a box of hair. Okay, I can understand being from a place where people don't eat a certain kind of food as a rule "SAL-mon", but to have never heard of a fish called a salmon? Exactly what rock has she been living under?
Ah, so! Poor doc. Reminds me of one of my...sm
docs who butchers the English language. I called him on repeatedly spelling a term incorrectly (course rather than coarse) and he relied "I was a pre-vet major, not an English major!"
Sorry about the misunderstanding!
Reminds me of systems
I've worked on that used Citrix; not being computer savvy, I don't know if they called it a Citrix server or what, but apparently it was a company that they used for some part of the process, and it was not compatible with the software. They I think they had to switch to some other company to speed things up.
That should be about as clear as mud. Sorry.
This reminds me of a story.
My son has scoliosis and on one of our visits to the orthopedist, he was dictating while we were in the room. At one point, he grabbed the films in the same hand as his recorder to throw them up on the light wall. I just said, "Do you realize that your transcription did not hear anything you said while that x-ray was in your hand?" He just gave me a blank kind of look so I explained that I was an MT and said that if he was having a lot of blanks in his dictation when it was returned, that might be the reason why.
I never heard whether or not it made a difference for the MT or not--he wasn't such as good orthopedist, either, so we changed practices after that.
that reminds me: I had to share my
workstation with a girl on days; she had very long hard nails (admit to being green with envy here!) and it wasn't long before she only only wore off the letters, she managed to poke holes through the keys! I demanded a new keyboard because of safety concerns due to shock hazard.
Oh yeah, that reminds me....
Well over 20 years of this work has also left me hard of hearing! :D
It really is, isn't it? Reminds me of ShamWow
"Who is it?" --- Reminds me of a joke ...
one of the oldest around:
The man leaves his apartment. His parrot is in inside. While he is gone, the plumber arrives. He knocks on the door. The bird answers, "Who is it?" "It's the plumber; I've come to fix the sink." No reply. The plumber knocks louder. "Whoooo is it?" the bird asks. In a little irritated voice, "It's the PLUMBER, I've come to fix the sink!". No reply. The plumber BANGS on the door. "Whooooo is it?" the bird asks calmly. "IT'S THE PLUMBERRRRR, I'VE COME TO FIX THE SINK" the plumber screams. No reply. The plumber, in his fit of rage, falls to the floor dead with a heart attack. The man who lives in the apartment returns. He finds the plumber dead at the door. He opens the door and says, "Who is it?" "It's the plumber. He's come to fix the sink" the bird says.
LLMAAAOOOO
ROFL Your post reminds me...SM
Not too long ago, I had my last nerve plucked out by my two boys, teenagers, when they were griping for me asking for a little bit of help around the house. Not much, mind you. Just a little. Their nastiness just got the best of me. Good thing too, though!
I turned off the AC vents in their rooms, made a list of 20 jobs around the house I wanted done, sent them to their rooms with the lists and started cooking...cooking their favorite dinner. I told them they had to stay in their rooms, doors shut, and would have no AC nor any food until they decided they could shut up and get those 20 jobs done. No food, no comforts of lying on the couch, watching TV, in cool air -- all of which I provide -- until they got the work done and without one nasty word about it.
Took about an hour and their warm bedrooms and stomachs growling at the smell of dinner had them out of their rooms and got it done!
Reminds me of a friend who worked
for an attorney. He used to fire her regularly cuz he had a nasty temper. One day he goes of the office and she wasn't there. He called her at home and yelled at her because she wasn't at work and couldn't understand why she did what she was told to do.
This reminds me of a chat room at AOL! LOL nm
reminds me of "don't get your panties

Yep, reminds me of a friend of mine
who lost her job as a travel agent (due to technology, Expedia, Cheap Tickets, etc.) and refuses to work for less than $35,000 a year. Says it's "beneath her."
Well she has no other skills, and is uneducated except for a 6-month travel course at a community college, so how could anyone expect to call the salary shots in that situation?
I agree. You gotta do what you gotta do. Sometimes life hits you hard, but it's up to you to accept it or start over with an education.
If you choose not to "accept" a job that pays less, even temporarily, that's your problem, not the government's.
Reminds me of my late father-in-law....
He totally controlled the money (he figured he earned it all, so why not) and doled out "household money" to my MIL like Ricky and Lucy Ricardo did. This continued until he died 18 MO ago, so I'm not talking about a by-gone time. Meanwhile, up until he quit smoking, he was buying 3 to 4 packs a day plus stopping at the bar every day on the way home from work. He never did stop drinking and I can only imagine the money he spent on that over their 40 yr marriage, while she's trying to run the house on her "allowance" and she could never take a dime out without his permission beyond the money he gave her. Sheeesh (eyes rolling). Thank God it didn't rub off on their son or I'd be a single woman by now.
That word just reminds me of Napoleon
Dynamite. LUCKY! Thanks for the laugh whether intentional or not. That word will never be the same for me after that movie. Tee hee.
Reminds me of a 55 minute long DS I had...for..
a two-day long hospital stay!
Reminds me of having to sleep with the TV going all the time
Some time ago I slept in a room like that- even had a sleep study done because could not keep my eyes open during the day- I was not getting the good sleep I should have been getting, don’t have to go through that anymore!
I totally agree, it reminds me of lawyers. nm

That's what I think - reminds me of the Seinfeld where Elaine was dating one
She kept calling him a doctor, and Jerry told her he wasn't even an M.D.
Reminds me of my favorite dictating physician..
 Really miss transcribing his 8 page reports (no sarcasm implied) Have a great day everyone.
Funny! Reminds me of the Pigman in Seinfeld.

So nice to read these replies, reminds me how lucky I am...sm
I have a delightfully active 17-month-old daughter and work approximately 30 hours a week as an MT. Sometimes I find myself having a 'poor me' party about how I get no free time, down time or time to myself as I work every minute dd is sleeping and then some, but these posts remind me of how truly lucky I am. I wouldn't have it any other way. BTW, I also have a 'mother's helper come 6 hours a week and it is a big help.
Congrats to you on your new blessing and good luck in your endeavors, you'll find a way to make it work :)
Reminds me of the time husband starving and I asked
the PA for the physician about a prescription for Megace to get hubby's appetite back. I was told by him "there was nothing that would work"- told him I could buy marijuana, knew this would increase appetite but illegal- long story short, I changed doctors, asked for prescription for Megace, got it and the appetite was regained. After all the years I had typed on this for cancer patients and also for AIDS patients, knew of what I spoke.
tooooo funny - reminds me of a creep that I used to work with!!

Ah, reminds me of a friend who said, "I'll be all over you like cheese soup!"

Reminds me of transients on street...Will work for food!
Working for 4 cpl and 2 cpl is the same as working for free. To make a measly 40.00 a day, you'd have to type 1000 lines, not to mention that whopping 20.00 you'd make at 2 cpl rate with 1000 lines a day. MT is not easy work regardless of if you have experience or are fresh out of school. Heck, is there even a guarantee you would be given 1000 lines per day?
I can only imagine the portion of the total rate that is pocketed by SS. I will guarantee it's a lot more than 4 cpl she is keeping for herself and charging to her clients.
My advice to anyone considering this internship: Hit your books a bit harder, visit LWW.com, Stedmans.com, obtain reference books with samples, look on MT-related boards for folks offering to mentor, look for MTs needing help with their overflow work, and most of all, have a bit more respect for yourself and don't sell yourself short.
By the way, a minimum wage job pays better, and a tank of gas still costs more.
Sorry for the negativity, but ever since I saw that ad, I've wanted to puke over it.
Regarding Taylor... Is it just me or....
has he gone from a rather sloppy looking spazz to looking pretty sexy? Okay, maybe it's because he seems a little older than the rest because of the gray hair (he's 16 years my junion), but he's kinda HOT these days! Last night when he was danced I was thinking........ Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Can't wait to see him do Elvis next week. 
Go Taylor! nm

Taylor-Taylor-Taylor
I hope it's Taylor...I'm anxious to see if anything goes on tonight about last week's shocker when Chris got kicked off...lots of stuff on the 'Net about voting being wrong, etc...have to wait and see.
 GO TAYLOR!!!
NO, YA NUT - Taylor isn't on anything....nm
Taylor will win. sm
Last week, all of Birmingham greated Taylor back home, and Kat only filled half a gym. Taylor has never been in the bottom 3 and Kat has. They are both going to be very rich, but Taylor will win.
Taylor
I loved Taylor tonight. I really liked the last song he sang. I just got done having an argument with my husband who thinks that Katharine will win and should win and that if Taylor wins he won't sell any records. He just doesn't get it. My daughter and I have been trying to vote for Taylor since the show ended, but can't get through.
taylor fan
Yes, Taylor, you make me PROUD! He was so cute tonight!
I hope it's not Taylor!
He just had a bad week. Please spare Taylor :) My prediction is that it's Ace.
You are right--TAYLOR is HOTTTTT!
He gets hotter by the week! Yowza!!!! I know he's not married and haven't heard anything about a GF. Somebody better snatch him up, and quick! He's about 6 years younger than me--I can live with that!
Go TAYLOR!!!!!.....AI wants a male to win!! n/m
Taylor or Elliott
I'm rooting for Taylor or Elliott now that Chris is gone. I really don't want Katherine to win, but I have the feeling she will. Supposedly people are saying she's more "marketable"
My vote goes for Taylor
I must admit the first few weeks watching him was soooo annoying, but he has grown on me and I actually enjoy watching and listening to him sing and perform. He's good and I think he deserves to win! However, I must say I was confident that Chris would win, but unfortunately not. Therefore, my vote is for Taylor!!!!
GO TAYLOR, GO!
Agree Taylor!
I think Taylor will win it all. And I agree with what the poster said about Katharine. There is just something about her. When the judges say something bad she always has this look like, well that's what you think, but you're crazy.
According to Diaidol.com, Elliott is at the bottom, but it's very close. They're been right three weeks in a row.
I really like Elliott the best but I think Taylor
will win. I just think it's a shame if Kat is in the final two. I think Elliott completely deserves to be at LEAST 2nd. I think he will do well regardless and hope he gets a record deal out of this at least. He's different, Taylor is different, but nothing about Kat is anything but ordinary. Of course Chris was different too. I thought it would be cool to be down to the three guys. I think they're all unique, they all have completely different styles, and that's great. I think they ARE American Idols. They each highlight a different kind of music that Americans love. I really hope that Elliott stays tonight!
No worries, Taylor has it in the bag!!!!!! :-)
No doubt!
Taylor's family
Someone told me the woman with Taylor's dad is his stepmom. Has his mom ever been on the show?
Taylor's LAST song did it for me!!!...sm
TAYLOR HICKS IS GOING TO BE THE AMERICAN IDOL......he's just more genuine!!! Kat is good but whoever posted about Tori Spelling......I don't think Tori is THAT well liked......by the general public...so I don't know how that other poster thinks Tori can pull strings for Kat....
