No, not offended and not turning on you sm
Posted By: MT on 2006-01-31
In Reply to: I should've been more clear. - OP - Starting over.
I think some of us are frustrated and concerned for you because we know it will happen again--and there's nothing we can do.
We also see the things that you're saying and see them as typical problematic statements, classical of someone who's being abused and will be abused again.
Statements like these:
"I have neglected to mention that when he is calm, he is actually okay." What? What difference does that make? He's probably very sweet and wonderful when he's not hitting you, yes.
and
"The incident two weeks ago was because I was forcing a trip to see my daughter's family." In other words, you caused it, right? That's so typical of an abused woman. "I made him mad" or "I egged him on." See, we on this board read things like this and see what you're not seeing, which is why we are SCARED for you and urging you firmly to see them. You're interpreting this as turning on you or that we're offended. No -- we are seeing something and trying to get you to see it, and really worried that you're not. And yes, frustrated that you're going to live with this man under the same roof while you try counseling and religion.

Also not offended
... unless they use poor grammar and can't spell. I actually told somebody I work with (I don't work at home anymore because I didn't like it) that she would make a good Transcriptionist because she is so careful to ask questions and learn things thoroughly. She looked very pleased and thanked me. Of course, if she asked me about it, I'd direct her to Andrews.
Not offended here..
I plan on quitting myself when my 35th b-day rolls around in September....how did you do it? I tried with the gum, Zyban,but have always gone back. I think it is just will power.
Sorry that I offended you......
I am truely sorry that I offended you. I don't post on chat boards often so I wrote in a letter form. There is nothing fish going on, I just needd some guidance. I am very down right now about this profession, but I surely did not mean to offend you!
No, I am not offended...sm
LOL! I do not find this offensive at all. I actually love it. I think everyone should just have a sense of humor about it. I tell you if that word offends someone then they have lived a very sheltered life indeed. BUT different strokes for different folks as they say. :)
things are turning around?
I have some relatively good news fellow transcriptionists! I am seeing a change for us in small doses. Seems several of the larger hospitals who have outsourced to "companies" are now bringing back in the MT and paying decent wages with all benefits. Look around, they are popping up everywhere. I know of several "compaines" that I have worked part time for that the hospitals are dropping like flies because of various reasons, but the truth of the matter is that it is always better to have regular typists working for the same doctors as we "learn their lingo" and know how to baby them, which in a nutshell is what gives us the job security that we look for. I work for a hospital as an IC that now is having big problems because they dont want to give raises or benefits(therefore people are quitting), but they are finding out very fast that no one else can or wants to do their work. I can't wait for them to try the offshore companies.. will just be too rich... As fussy as my group of doctors are, well, I smell raise on the horizon and benefits to boot. they will just have to fall flat on the ground before they can walk the walk!!
Just remember, what goes around comes around. I have a new job with a hosptial that has made me full employee and decent wage. I am so looking forward to seeing this change that has been long coming.
I am just glad that it really is starting to turn around. Just goes to show these offshore cheaper prices are not being "bought" for long by many. I know of one hospital that had outsorced all their work, after a while (maybe a couple of years) they found that it was CHEAPER to bring the Transcriptionist back in and train to send home with all equipment and benefits and really decent pay, I am talking more than what any "company" has ever offered me, except for opt notes.. Just too cool. I am so excited..
Will keep you posted as I start my new job - really belonging again! :)
Maybe you are accidentally turning it
on by hitting Ctrl-B or a combination of keys to turn it on. I am always accidentally making words all CAPS.
Have you tried turning it off and then back on? nm

Not offended...You just keep smoking that

So sorry..say something about the MTs who don't do their jobs and they are all offended, but yet
MTs who DO do their jobs are not. HMMMMMM
Now THAT comment would have offended me!
nm
Here, here!!! My own husband got OFFENDED when someone would say
"Oh, you're babysitting." He'd say, "NO, they're MY kids. You don't say my wife babysits when she stays home with them." Aren't guys amazing!
I'm offended that you laugh about it
Have you checked into seeing what is required of someone to become a fellow of the AAMT? It is a lot of work, believe you me. And, it is not just the education--it's community service, holding offices in the organization, as well as the continuing education part of it.
I work for a surgeon who is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. It works basically the same way---they have to prove that they have completed so much continuing education, hold offices in organizations, community-type services, etc.
Basically, just being a "fellow" just means that you've gone above and beyond what an ordinary person in your organization does. Honestly, I think it is an honor; a matter of distinction, even if it is just AAMT. It just sets yourself apart from everyone else; says that you are a hard worker.
I'm sorry if I offended you personally....sm
 That was not my intention and I see in another thread you defended my post about eTime....da DE dum dum is what I said about the web clock question. So I want to thank you for the defense....on the eTime and apologize if I insulted you about the gift-giving recognition for MT Week.....
Have a nice weekend!!! 
Dear offended
I would go to the doctor and tell him exactly how you feel. You are completely justifed in feeling offended - you were in a sense stabbed in the back.
Since you will be less productive while you are training this person, you need to let the doctor why. That way, if the office manager tries to criticize you for being less productive, you know that the cardiologist understands why.
That is why I like working at home - no office politics. Had more than my share of that kind of obnoxious behavior in the past.
What is offended is my hearing!
I know exactly where the post comes from. I hear physicians say the patient mother, no patient's, but the patient mother. That really grates on my nerves. Some words are not even pronouced correctly. I would think if you have the sense to become a physician, surely you can get some English in on the side. It is very rude and offensive for me to have to listen.I get enough of that on the evening local news.
I would be offended as well. A lot of assumptions going on here.
I was accused of being a troll.
turning off computer at night
I leave mine on -- just do a "control, Alt, delete" and "log off" instead of shut down. It works fine. I have to enter my password the next day, but thats okay.
I've heard the machine will not last as long if it's turned off every night.
Yes, turning Celine OFF works even better! LOL
He will be turning on the charm 100%. Don't listen to it. sm
And you've never tried God as an option before? Well, if you wish, tell him to get some God on his own while you and your children are safe someplace else.
You're stoked right now, which is great, but don't let it fizzle out with husband's pleas and lack of abuse in the meantime. It WILL happen again if you stay. Anybody who knows anything about abuse will tell you that. The center you contacted will tell you that, too. Listen to the experts.
Bravo on actually contacting your parents and Swan. However, you said they can hide you out if you actually need to go. Hello? You actually need to go. Now. You were just hit 2 weeks ago. You're feeling in control and all, but it WILL happen again. Yes, you are in danger. Your husband is scared right now. He senses the loss of control. However, this is a cycle. When you stay, and things get a bit more distant, they'll resume some sort of normalcy. It'll build up, and he'll blow. What will happen next? You know you've got someone who has abused you as recently as 2 WEEKS ago, and you say you're not in danger and you're willing to let your CHILDREN LIVE under the same roof as someone who WILL eventually blow again, and maybe hurt them next time?
It's not just about being hid out when (not if) things get ugly again. You need to work toward a permanent plan, not just a crisis plan. There are other places besides this one you've called, ones who can give you some counseling and advice on how to leave and make it on your own with your children.
I wish you would listen and leave, but I have a feeling you're going to wait til next time. Do you know it takes women an average of SEVEN times leaving their abusive spouses before they finally leave for good? How many times will you let it take you? And what will be the cost to you and your children before you finally "get it?"
Turning numbering on and off for lists
Does anyone know the keystroke commands or if they even exist to turn numbering off and on for lists? I hate having to use the mouse to point at the menu and going that route!
Turning the control off did the trick. sm
I don't even need the convertor now. The plug-in downloaded and my GP plays the dvf files just fine. Wow!!! I can't thank you enough.
Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!!
It seems turning that off sorta turns it into XP. LOL! nm

You might also try turning off the suggestion window SM
or whatever it is you have for a while. I use Shorthand, but it's pretty much the same thing. That way you could give yourself a list of often-used abbreviations to memorize and get very comfortable with and/or a rule that tells you what a lot of your abbreviations are going to be. As you get comfortable with those few, you'll end up loving them and wanting MORE, MORE, MORE. With that attitude, you can turn the window back on or give yourself yet another list and another rule or two to get used to.
Just think, if you only used abbreciations for the words "the patient" (tp or ?), "hydrochlorothiazide" (hycx or ?), and "blood pressure" (bp or ?) you'd never type those three out again and would be saving that much time with each of them. Start small and unspook yourself.
I personally am not offended by asking about my salary...
I am just saying some people might think that way...
Yeah, and I suppose I probably offended
some newbies, too. I didn't mean to. I know what I was thinking in my head but I didn't communicate that in my message post.
Join the club on being confused. With turning us
things are charged, billed, or anything any more.
It just seems like they wanted me to work for nothing to clean up ASR reports. It was pitiful what they wanted, considering what they needed me to clean up. I could have typed it faster and better using my word expanders.
Go with your gut, Patti - my gut is turning and screaming Indian - sm
but then again, it could just be increased peristaltic activity... but I doubt it
Try turning off the User Account Control. nm

I wrote the post and I am not offended, I took it how you meant it.
and like I said.... I love warm milk, drink it almost every night.
I wasn't offended. I thought it was funny. :-)
I am white and offended by that garbage post as
well. I am so sorry there are people like above poster in this world. A nice informatie post turns to garbage - oh well. 
Are you turning the volume using the home typist icon
or your regular volume control icon on the tool bar?
I have had that problem with some whispering dictators, so I mute the program itself just for that dictator.
It's a shame if you can't use it. I get a real rhythm going and my day just flies. I don't think I can type without it now.
I hear ya. I'm a natural blonde turning white sm
At first the box stuff worked pretty good. Now I have a huge "skunk stripe" on the left side of my forehead and I'm starting to grow another "skunk stripe" on the left side.
After a while the box stuff only calms down the different texture of the white stuff for a few weeks so if you wear a few bangs, you need to cut them to match after dying. 3 weeks later the bangs with the white stuff are suddenly a good half inch shorter again.
Needless to say, for the time being I have the "off the forehead" look that makes my head look like two breakdown lanes on a highway. 
I'm saving my money. The initial shock for the "makeover" is scary, but my 2 sisters told me to go for it as the upkeep isn't too bad at all. They would both be snow white in their late 40's if it weren't for visits to the salon.
I'm headed in the same direction and I'm early 40's. My husband, who went white by 38, told me to just go natural.
I told him to kiss my natural behind.
Try turning off User Account Control in Vista. (nm)

Mine is working fine and turning purple...
.
Turning off Indexing will drastically improve speed.
Vista loads a ton of "services" that you won't ever use so turn those off as well. A Google search will give you exact instructions on the ones you don't need.
you didn't offend me. you offended yourself and males who you know. if you think it's funny,
i don't. and i don't like the buffoon dumb male vs very clever female schtick either. it is degrading to both parties. if the female is so smart, why is she with some dumba$$ guy anyway?
I get offended by blonde jokes. They're not funny at all.
Especially, after hearing them over and over again from people who think they're being "clever". In addition, I don't know how many times people have told me to prove that I'm a real blonde. Like they can't tell from my eyebrows. Duh, really funny and so original. I've never heard that one before.
We blondes do have to overcome the stereotype. People think we're stupid or promiscuous just because we're blonde. Scoff all you want to, but it's true. No, we don't have it as tough as minorities do at all, but nobody ever takes us seriously either. I'd give examples of real life discrimination and harrassment in the workplace, but why bother? Everyone just thinks they're being funny or clever.
I apologize if I offended you, that wasn't my intention at all. As far as any suggestions for SM
your situation, I would agree with MT2RN above that maybe she is being enabled to behave the way she behaves. She is getting exactly the reaction she wants. It's hard to do, but if she refuses to get help from trained professionals, then you shouldn't be there to take care of her. My ex-husband refused and I stayed for a long time, taking care of him. He had employment issues and drinking issues and spending issues and legal issues and I just enabled him. I made the money and cleaned up his messes, paid off his debts, bailed him out of jail. It is an endless cycle that can only be broken by the stable person saying "I won't help you anymore, unless you help yourself first."
Again I apologize for offending you. My initial post was in response to your post chronicling what seemed to me to be depression without mania and you made no mention of her being diagnosed as bipolar, so I just simply was curious. I thank you for clarifying and I wish you well. It's really tough situation to be in.
Anyone else offended or insulted to be offered 6-7 cpl? Or is it just me or finds this insulting.
Is this how bad it is that now this is the going rate?? I get sick to my stomach just thinking about it. I need a career change. 
I would feel like people would think I was an infertile woman turning my cat into a baby.

You're turning this lighthearted thread into something entirely too deep. Lighten up.

Try turning the volume down, it works. Celine is superior by far. No contest. NM

was anyone else offended to get an e-card from a free site from team leader that was
blanket message to everyone. I thought that was low class. You can send an e-card to casual acquaintences, coworkers, etc., but I do not think a blanket 1 message fits all to employees, bosses, or family is appropriate for Christmas. I would rather have had nothing than this thoughtless piece of nothing.
