wine
I'm not a Transcriptionist yet (still a student, but OLD hehe), my feelings are there's nothing wrong with the occasional glass of wine. I'd drink it, but I haven't found a wine I like enough for a 2nd glass. I occasionally have a bit stiffer drink, but once I start working I won't drink 'my' drinks, since they not only relax me, they send to to sleepy-land. I know several professionals (in other fields) that have a glass of wine when dictating, making notes, preparing briefs, etc. Its not unheard of. My feeling is, as long as the limitations are noted and observed what's the harm? IF it affects your work, time to knock it off.
Hopefully, we're all adults and able to make reasonable judgments on this subject.
(did I sound nice enough? that was my goal!! LOL)
WINE
I agree that we shouldn't judge others. Sometimes I need a drink while working, but unfortunately I would fall asleep with one small glass of wine. I do however know an MT who drinks a lot while working.....I mean a lot...(she has a problem sadly), but the fact remains that even then she is a better MT than most I know. So I guess everybody's different. Wine is good for the nerves and the STESS LEVEL....
are you having wine with dinner?
just curious but your posts are not making much sense. not that there's anything wrong with wine with dinner, it's just maybe not so wise to post on MT boards when you are so "relaxed".
Beef in Wine
Brown roast.
In separate pot cook two onions, two cloves garlic, two stalks celery,chopped, two carrots, in butter until soft. Add to meat. Mix 2 cups of tomato puree and 2 cups red wine. Add a tablespoon of salt, 10 whole peppercorns, 2 bay leaves. Cook on top of stove until tender, about 3 to 4 hours. Do the day before. The next day clean up the meat and slice it. Serve over noodles. It is delicious.
Glass of wine
I did not mean to start a war. I know the difference between a glass of wine and a "problem with drinking" as my father was an alcoholic as well as ex-husband. And just to let you know the open bottle that I opened Sunday evening for my glass is still in the wine case/holder with one glass missing. I will probably have to throw it out as I usually have one glass and forget that it is there to finish it. Would not make a good alcoholic as I forget to continue to drink -- just my one beer or one glass of wine every couple of weeks. Also, I usually wait until I am very near completion of my work before I "pop" the cork. But again, did not mean to start a war.
Glass of wine
Patti, unfortunately on this board lately, anything can start a war.
Like you, I sometimes start sipping a glass the last 30-60 mins. of my shift - about once a month. Ignore the hostile postings - some of these people read 2 words, take it out of context, and post in response to things that weren't even said.
Personally, I'm glad you posted because I felt a little guilty about sipping an ounce or 2 while working - I grew up in an alcohol-free home, but I certainly saw what alcoholism did to some of my friends' families.
Since you are new, just wait. Newbies have to wait. sm
Just because you said a "doctor's office" that narrows it down. No national work for private doctor's offices. It is all acute care. Just wait. They will let you know how you are doing.
Add cheeseburgers and wine to the menu! nm

A glass of wine with typing
A while back there were several messages when someone made a halfway joke about drinking and I never answered but I do have to admit that when I sometimes have to work on Sunday nights or some late evenings I do sip on a glass of wine while typing, not an entire bottle but a glass of wine. Just thought I would not comment on it as several people were shocked that anyone would even consider it. Not all the time but occasionally and in moderation.
That is my Sunday comment.
If an MT drinks a whole bottle of wine while...
working, there is NO WAY that can't have any affect. Yikes!  There she.he goes now! 
Opening up Pandora's box of wine
Hey Patti, it's ok to talk about drinking and transcribing. People react strongly because it hits a raw nerve. It's a topic that is kept in the dark. I suspect many transcriptionists do and have drank at the desk. I myself have had a small glass of wine on occasion when I have been so stressed out, like when I have been given a 30-day notice that my work is going to India! Or my foreign-accented dictator yells at me for something stupid! I venture to say that perhaps more transcriptionists have a glass or two of liquor toward the end of their shift than they would care to admit. I just think you got such a response because it is a topic most transcriptionists have thought about in one way or another. I'm not saying it is ok or it is morally wrong. It does happen though.
Exactly where would that be and what Bible do you have?
why, because they don't KNOW their Bible
which says it is good for ALL to marry, to avoid fornication, not to mention the perverts that go into the priesthood because they see it as an opportunity for abuse, by the structure of secrecy.
Living God's plan is not repressive, for 'the Truth shall set you free'. Satan will use you up and then spit you out when he's done. Chose whom you will serve, for you will either serve one or the other, God or Satan. As for my and my household, we will serve the Lord.
bible
I dont read your bible because I dont believe in your bible or religion.
According to the Bible ...
Proverbs 24:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Yep, that's what it says - King James Version. The word "beat" translated from Hebrew means to strike lightly or severely.
The BOS is not the MT Bible...Unfortunately,
too many have bought into it and believe it is the ultimate authority on anything grammar/format related. IT IS NOT!
It was written by some who have decided on their own to change many age-old rules. The second edition revised and reversed info from the first edition (and, yes, the BOS says I should use "1st" and "2nd" rather than spelling them out).
Thankfully, MOST doctors prefer basic grammar, punctuation and format rules and are not even aware of the BOS, let alone the AAMT.
Those who tell you otherwise are either misled or uninformed. There will be a third edition soon that will again reverse and revise . . . it's all about making money.
Stick to the basic rules you have learned throughout your life, and you should be fine . . . unless you run into a duped QA person.
the BOS is not our bible and many of us...nm
Not sure what Bible you have...
but mine says nothing of women in dresses only, only men working, women having long hair, etc. There are a sector of believers in my community where women only wear dresses, but high end clothes, their hair stays long, but it is really staylish, and they do work outside the home, in high positions actually. A lot of people take the Bible out of context. Jesus does not speak lowly of women at all, women were held in high esteem in their community and were given postitions of leadership in the church. A good book would be "What Paul Really Said About Women" by John Temple Bristow. This is a great eye opener for a lot of men as well who are taught to believe that women are somehow inferior to them.
The Bible says....
heaven and h-ell are even lowercase in the Bible.
Not everyone who follows the Bible is Catholic!!!
I wouldn't know about that. I'm not a priest nor do I have one.
How can it be against the Bible when it wasn't even
invented yet? You're saying that people who read their daily horoscope in the newspaper are against God and the Bible? It's not like we're smoking bidis, sniffing incense, and visiting the palm readers or fortune tellers. Entertainment purposes.
Please read YOUR bible.
I believe you might run across the saying Just Not Lest Ye Be Judged?
sean connary, chocolate, white wine
that would be perfect.

OMG that is so true. I love their rhubarb wine. I known it sounds
The Amanas rocks.
Chicken In Wine Sauce (Easy and Quick)
Melt about 6 TBLSP butter in skillet. Sprinkle boneless, skinless chicken breasts with garlic salt and any other seasonings that you like, dust in flour and brown in butter for about 5 minutes or so, just till a little brown (to your liking). Put together 1/2 cup white cooking wine, 2 teaspoons roasted chopped garlic (I buy it already chopped), 2 TBLSP lemon juice (I use bottled Real Lemon), and 2 TBLSP dried parsley. Fresh is good too but I just never have it around. Dump this on the chicken in the skillet and put a lid on it and simmer for 6 minutes. Throw a bag of precooked microwave rice in the microwave, plop some on the plate, put the chicken on top and spoon some sauce over it. Very tasty and ready in less than 30 minutes. My kind of dinner !!! If you use more than about 4 pieces of chicken breast increase the butter to 8 TBLSP. I am sure that Parkay (or whatever) would work just as well but I use butter and be done with it. I usually have broccoli or some other green veggie and a salad with it. I use my Breadman a lot so I usually have hot rolls as well.
except I love cooking w/alcohol/wine in sauces!!

I say HA HA! Why not read the Bible. That is all you need to know for your life!

Not living in sin? Isn't homosexuality a sin according to the Bible?
Married or not.
careful ... the Bible says it's wrong, too! so
lol
sorry but the Bible isn't ignorant, dear.
might be careful of that violent tendency as well, all that hammering on someone's head.
besides, everyone here is entitled to their opinion.
bible thumpers. god save us.
Ouchie! I think it's a Bible bump!
I have a lump on the back of my hand right in the spot where ganglions appear.  My father called them Bible Bumps because the doctors used to whack them with a large book such as a bible to break them up. This thing hurts like heck and my whole hand feels kind of stiff. Has anybody ever had one of these? I'm going to make an appointment to see about it but I've typed so many orthopedic reports I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
Onion soup mix, 1/2 cup Madiera wine, carrots, potatoes.
Cook roast slowly (325 for about 3 hours, add the potatoes and carrots, cook another hour, and serve.
Or just slice onions on top the roast, add about 1/2 cup water, put in covered dutch oven, cook same as above, adding potatoes and carrots.
How about grilled fish like salmon? Add a glass of wine and you're all set!

Office lunches come to mind, the whole crew would have a glass of wine
We managed to get through the Friday afternoon following the glass of wine. It's holiday time, birthday time, retirement time. Rare - RARE - occasions. I remember the doctors have a very very slight slur LOL. I probably lost a keystroke or two on my speed. The nurses were happier that usual. The secretaries laughed for a change. It's all good.
My family's not into hard liquor. Beer on one side and wine on the other.
Ugh. I only "like" to drink alcohol maybe once a month.
The blackberry wine made by Amana Colonies is really good, too. sm
I have two bottles now in the frig. It don't take much, either, to anesthetize the pain.
Strawberry Wine by Deanna Carter (not my all-time favorite, but at the top) nm

you are so right, but the book I prefer to open is the Bible (sm)
and I don't pretend to know it scripture for scripture, but I do now that somewhere it says something about soothsayers and psychics and such are a thing of evil and anyone proclaiming to know the future is of evil. So, I prefer NOT to educate myself on things of evil, we have enough of that forced down our throats everday! 
Not according to my NIV bible. It says even if you have lustful thoughts, they are considered sin.

You can hope the only thing that happens is that he drops a Bible

I'm not in the Bible Belt, o judgmental one, unless you don't know geography either. Another r
that is, if there isn't a good rerun of "I Love Lucy" on at the present time!
LOL
Merlot, white zin, chardonnay, sometimes daily 1 wine glass with din-din. Maybe 2 if I am thirsty
No alcoholic tendencies.
Maybe you should both get your nose out of the bible and live the life He gave you...
For goodness sake, if you're going to drag the Bible into it
you might read the part about man being created separately in God's image. In the Old Testament, there are distinctly different punishments for killing a man and killing a beast. Now, no doubt God loves animals and they will be in heaven, but I can assure you, God has not created man and animal on the same level.

Any plans for Mother's Day? Hubby is taking me on a wine & dinner train ride.

Following the bible is a form of repression. Why do you think priests sleep with little boys?
The bible also states it is okay for fathers to sleep with their daughters. You are limiting
