No, I'm afraid I'm a complete and utter dork...

And the really dorky thing is - I graduated from hi school in 1976 - I'm not even IN the "60's generation." If loving the Beatles makes me a dork, then, well - just call me Captain Dork!


Peace out, dude.

    We have a cocker spanial who is afraid of storms and afraid of the dark! He is up every night severa
    Even with a night light he still gets afraid of the dark and I have to get up and pet him and tell him it is okay, et cetera. He will finally settle and go back to sleep, but will do it again throughout the night. I let him sleep in my room thinking it would help..but it didnt. He is just a big baby, so we love him and try to make him feel as safe as we can. If we have to deal with thunderstorms and the dark we are in for a long night!!
    Well duh, what a dork am I??!! Of course!
    .
    Again, this is a big-time dork
    In high school she was a pariah and looked like a vampire. People change, but with a start like that she has loser written all over herself.
    LOL- you aren't a dork sm
    seems like the more you listen the harder it is to hear. I do it all the time and yes, I call myself a dork too.
    Dear Dork Lady - sm
    Accidents are life's learning experiences... as awful as some outcomes are, that is just the way it is. It is the reality of what our "Higher Power" allows to happen in our life. When this type of tragedy happens, it is SO most likely just an accident... NOT ANYONE's FAULT. If you shielded your children to the point that you didn't allow mistakes or accidents (even accidents that never injured), you are taking away learning experience, character building, and their ability to be sure of themselves in their own decision-making process when they are grown. I agree with the other poster's replies - you need a shrink and much therapy and some good medication to control your schizophrenia would be very beneficial I'm sure... Seek Help, if not for others, do it for yourself because you are WARPED!!!
    I think she's a dork who desperately needs attention

    ok.... Here it is... in full and complete.
    Suicide Brownies

    1 - 19-21 oz. pkg. fudge brownie mix.
    1 - 10-12 oz. pkg. white choc. pieces.
    1 C. semisweet chocolate pieces.
    1/2 C. pecan pieces

    Sauce
    1/4 C. melted butter (not margarine or spread)

    2 C sifted powdered sugar
    1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder

    Grease 13 x 9 pan. Make brownie mix according to box directions but add in half of the white choc. pieces and the 1/2 C. pecans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes till center sets. Sprinkle with remaining white choc. pieces and return to oven for one minute. Let cool.

    Combine melted butter and hot water. Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla. Beat by hand until smooth. Spoon over top of brownies. Add 3/4 cup of pecans. Cool 1-1/2 hours or until sauce sets. Cut into squares.
    Here's one that I think is pretty complete
    http://www.bioreference.com/profiles.htm
    Yep, I'm a complete tool like that.

    I thought as I aged I would grow cojones...the problem is, we moved up here and it's just so far away from friends and family, that when company does show up, planned or not, it is truly a blessing.  I am incredibly lonely up here, and as I work out of a home in a land where I don't know ANYONE except my immediate neighbors, friends have not been easy to make and, well, you can see why I have so many postings on this board. 


    So, I guess I'll continue to treat people as I wish to be treated...with a big hug, a warm smile, and a "I'm so glad you were able to stop by"...and then stress out and drink black coffee laced with 1/4 pound of suger catching up on work while they sleep soundly.  I only got this one life, so I might as well try to squeeze everything into it with at least a calm and cool outer appearance    ;-)


     


    EMR just means they are going to complete
    EMR is electronic medical record, meaning it's all on the computer, without a paper record. Why does that eliminate the need for a transcriptionist?
    Complete was of my time...
    But I had entered a webpage trying to land accounts. No luck WSE! IMO. Good luck.
    Wow, the complete series!! (sm)
    You'll be busy for days!  I'd love it too, cause there are some I missed, but I figured I will rent one season at a time, or buy it if I can find a good price.  Never shopped on ebay before.  Happy viewing!!
    Once you complete your training
    you will have a an idea of what types of reports you have an affinity for. Some folks like acute care, others clinic work. There are those that adore radiology and detest long ops or sub-speciality consults that may require a lot of research and verification. Others feel just the opposite.

    As far as software, I am not really sure what you mean. There are different requirements for different companies as far as platforms, etc. Every one has its pros and cons.
    As for as reference materials, some folks like electronic references and some prefer books. Others use reliable web resources.

    You will want to avoid any convoluted line counting methods to assure fair compensation and be aware of exactly what you do and don't get compensated for, but that kind of falls into the getting ripped off category.

    I haven't seen any of his recent movies since he split with Nicole Kidman.  Of course, I saw "Days of Thunder" and "Far and Away".  Read the whole post, then try taking an English comprehension course.  Troll.
    Boy I cannot complete a sentence my posts look like VR

    Here's one veggie family, complete
    with grandkids now.  All 8 of us.  I have a Tofurkey and also an Unturkey in the freezer for Thanksgiving.  Also, my pet turkey Bubba just died last week of natural causes, he weighed about 50 pounds.  His wife, Bubette, is still alive and well.  I always gave them extra treats on Thansgiving.

    I would think complete darkness would be a bad idea.
    Funny you should mention this because last night my son walked into the living room and turned off the light while I was working. He said he wanted it off while watching TV.

    At first I felt like I couldn't see anything. After a few minutes, my eyes adjusted, but I had to turn the light back on because the brightness of the monitor compared to the darkness of the rest of the room actually began to hurt my eyes.

    I guess it doesn't bother some, but I would think it wouldn't be very good for your eyes over time.
    I do believe the JC is only concerned with files being complete as in
    up to date - not gramatically correct.


    ASR isn't successful? Its like 100% a complete success! Are you kidding?

    MQs speech rec technology is sweeping the industry. Just run a Google, dear poster, and get your facts even remotely straight before you post!  Radiology speech rec is a HUGE success, as well as their acute care. What planet have you been living on? It needed perfecting, and, well....Its nearly there! Post facts if you must - much better than completely false ignorant claims.


    Well, some accounts call for complete sentences for all. sm

    Other accounts call for no abbreviations, spell out everything.  So, if the account specifics call for it, the MT is to do it.  It is not always the MT or MTSO.

    I tell a complete stranger my whole life history practically.
    I'm suddenly realizing that I have isolated myself and that I have no real friends and the only adult conversation I have is with my DH.  While I love by DH dearly and he is my bestest friend, sometimes you need other conversations/relationships. 
    Yes, sort of. He isn't fast, but he is very careful and complete and polite ...
    which can save time in the long run, especially when I'm typing mammograms.

    That Escription is even close to accurate is complete and total

    YES, your email has COMPLETE protection on this site. We have worked VERY hard to make sure
    that e-mail addresses are protected.  Spheris did not glean your email address from this site.  In the meantime, if you enter your email address in the E-mail field, you can be emailed, but the sender cannot see your email address.  They have no idea WHAT your email address is.  ONLY if YOU reply to them will the sender then find out what it is.  If you have further questions, email me and we'll discuss it.
    That's what I was afraid you were going to say.

    Why are you afraid?
    Why are you afraid to state your business name?  You have said yourself that you rather like Indian MTs when compared to US MTs, so why not come forth?  Could it be because you really do need the US MTs to run your company and make your bucks? 
    I'm afraid...
    I've been sworn to secrecy. I simply cannot divulge!

    Janelle lost the final HOH competition and Yvette won, who immediately evicted Janelle, so now its just Yvette and Nurse Maggie. Yvette basically gave the game to Maggie now since most of the evicted guests do not like Yvette and won't vote for her. How dumb!

    Yes, I'm afraid so...
    Tonight at midnight, according to PC World. They said it probably won't do much damage, and is a single person doing it. Weird. U might want to go to Microsoft's web page and get their just released security update for this - I did and I feel all safe and cozy!

    Afraid so, saw one ad for 6 cpl...
    I've been trying to get extra work for a while now but I will not work extra hours for what they are offering, especially when it is left over stuff and late hours.
    I'm not afraid

    I am just a very private person and I do not want other people knowing my business unless they have a NEED to know it.


    If you want to shout from a soapbox, find something worth shouting about. This is getting boring.

    That's what I was afraid of...
    I saw a demo of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 Medical Edition on the Nuance website. The doctor in the demo dictates a section of a report and the software makes no mistakes whatsoever. While this part is hard to believe, he then says "select congestive heart failure", which the software does and highlights. He then says "ICD-9 that", and the software inserts the correct ICD-9 code in parentheses behind the selected text. The ICD-9 codes are pre-programmed and inserted based on recognized *text*, so as long as the right text is highlighted, the only way an error could occur is if the programmers had entered a wrong ICD-9 code, which is unlikely and would be quickly fixed with a version update. I don't know if this will eventually eliminate coding or if it will just make coders more productive, but that coding course at AHIMA is looking more and more like a waste of money. An online Bachelor degree is beginning to look like the only way out of this conundrum.
    P.S. Don't be afraid to go over the head of
    your local boss, they are likely to stonewall you. You should follow protocol and START there, but do not hesitate to carry it further if not satisfied.......... the protocol for this is actually outlined on QNET.
    thats silly. what are they afraid of if
    I mean come on, we won't become millionaires.  There should NOT be a limit on how much you make.  A raise per year for cost of living, a raise or higher rate for experienced and good MTs, and also a raise for putting up with the BS.
    Don't be afraid to tell her how you feel.
    My brothers and sisters would get together and talk about how my mom is. I told them to tell her, but they said they did not want to hurt her feelings. Yeah, but it's ok for her to hurt ours. NOT! I finally told my mom. She was very defensive at first. She did not speak to me for about a month, but then she called and said she was sorry. If you are honest and sincere, things will work out. Your sis will never know how you and your other sis are feeling if one of you does not step up to the plate.
    Don't be afraid. Use the law to your advantage. SM

    Stop a minute and think about this. What other person on the planet would be allowed to do this to you? Not one. The reason he is allowed to do it is because you let him.


    "Tired of working?" Hell, we're all tired of working, but we do it because we have to. You keep your chin up, girlie. Find you a rat-hole and put some money in it. Even if it's a quarter at a time. Save your change, filch from your paycheck. Get a little padding there so you will have some options.


    I lived with a horribly abusive man who took advantage of me for 30 years. I'd still be living with him but he's dead. I know I'd never have left.


    Don't get me wrong. I adored him, God knows why - I let those "good times" outshine the horrible times and I stayed with him till death did us part - all to the detriment of my poor children. I have a daughter who thinks it's noble to stay with an abusive man. I have a son who, I'm grateful to say, is kind to his SO, but he endured a 10-year relationship with a lying, emotionally abusive girl - all thanks to me.


    Do it as soon as you can. If that guy quit his job because he's "tired of working" there's nothing he won't do. Sending a hug. I know where you're coming from.

    Everyone is so afraid to ask for a raise.
    I guarantee you that the people you work for have gotten a raise in the last 4 years, so why not you? Just do it. Like you said, all they can say is no, or give some BS excuse. But just look at the enormous increase in gasoline over the past 4 years, never mind everything else. No one can continue on the same salary.
