Clutter - mess
I have five accounts that I receive schedule print outs from that I check off the names and it seems that they pile up weekly. I cannot find the time to put them into their designated files. I also have mail, other things all over my desk. I usually take Saturday morning with a cup or two of coffee and straighten it out and SWEAR that I will keep it that way but the once again by Friday I am in almost the same shamables. I thought it was only me. I can find everything, do not lose papers or tapes -- usually -- and for a supposedly paperless profession I sure do generate a lot of paper. But glad that I am not alone. Now where is that schedule???
I am guilty of clutter though I start out need and -sm
very organized-- though piles are growing in my bedroom right now, total mess. My husband wants a home like those in Good Housekeeping, etc. which will never happen here until the kids are gone, the animals are gone (never), he gets rid of all his antique TVs and radios (about 30-40) (at least 1 -or more- in every room, only 4 rooms are spared--kids BR (2), and the 2 bathrooms)--plus garage is filled with them too. We do a unclutter clean about every 6-8 weeks though it returns fast. Hard to unclutter though with so much space taken up by the TVs--some of which are covered with blankets so that looks real good. But seriously I need to unclutter this house especially my desk area and our BR--messiest room in the house! So I am messy I guess, and he is too though we both want it clean!
I hate when companies treat us like we're working for pin money
Am I supposed to be happy when a company only gives me 200 or 300 lines a day when they promise you a certain amount (that is higher than that)? How would the company employees (not us lowly transcriptionists) feel if the company told them that they were only getting paid 100 dollars this pay period, that there wasn't enough work. Not enough to pay bills and keep food on the table, just pin money.
Sheesh.
Reduced my desk clutter, bought a KVM sm
I got a slick new KVM. I work on 2 computers every day, so this was a necessity. All USB, a Belkin. Not only can I used ONE mouse, ONE keyboard, ONE monitor, but I can use ONE set of speakers and ONE set of headphones in said speakers. This one came with a remote button. Push it and you are on the other computer.
I have wanted one for a very long time and I have it!!!! They have come a long way.
Now...I just have to keep my backgrounds different so I know where I am...
Oh, I forgot. You're only allowed to hate and resent white people.

Don't donate!
The donations are NOT for the person who started this petition. Since most MTs are national, it is nearly impossible to reach all of you except for an online "E" petition. If it asks for any donations from you, those will go to the people who run the website hosting an epetition (ipetition.com). Don't donate. It doesn't affect the outcome. If you feel strongly against the cause, please submit your E signature. I myself will print out all the signatures and send them to various committees and elected officials in DC. I would like to send thousands of signatures but we will see. You don't have to work in this field to sign; it is mainly targeted to people who have concerns about their private information and medical charts being sent to foreign countries; so please share with friends/family if they wish to sign! Thanks!
Actually, if you want to donate sm
You take payment for the service you render, then deposit it into your account. When you write a check donating it back to the church, THEN it becomes a charitable donation and tax-deductible.
I serve as an organist for two small churches and this is what I do when I want to contribute to them, rather than "play for free," at least this way I get the tax benefits and they still get their donation.
can I donate more than once and get more than one prize?
I'm greedy
I signed, did not donate
can now donate your vacation time
The IRS will now let you donate your vacation time to the evacuees. They will convert it to cash and you can deduct it at the end of the year. For those of you feeling so generous, this is for you.
Yeah, donate your vacation time
A neighbor of a relative of mine, being the nice person that he is, set up a booth at the Astrodome for temporary work as a plumber for $15 an hour. No one came. Go ahead, give up your vacation. Not me.
Red Cross donations= Research before you donate to ANY NPO
I, for one, will NEVER donate to the Red Cross. Why? My father was NEVER notified his mother died. He never got to attend her funeral or say goodbye. . . He found out after he came home from the service. I could tell you other horror stories, but won't. Sure, I'm bitter, but don't need to be flamed. Would you like to come home and find your mother has been dead and buried and you didn't even know? Think about it.
The Salvation Army is my choice. I KNOW all the money is going to the Katrina Victims. If anyone has a chance, they should look at the statistics on how much money donated really goes to victims of a disaster. The sites escape my memory right now, but they are/should be all online.
After we donate (I just did) how do we "pull from the bag"? Sounds fun AND for a great cause!

Please click on Santa's House for Christmas Angels above to donate and help
for Christmas. MTStars is matching your donation, dollar for dollar, and on Dec. 1 everyone who has donated will be able to pull a gift from Santa's Bag!
Thank you!

Trash
Are they dumping the stuff in their yards? If so, call their landlords. We had this problem and I would just call over and over until it was cleaned up.
Right. You are offered their trash, but not $1K.
They're willing to help you as long as you lower yourself. Just pure head games. And some parents would love to see their kids homeless for a chuckle. Makes no sense to me - mine were the same. They were so jealous that my husband and I stuck it out and made our marriage work, are still in love after 30+ years with great kids. When we ran into 1 bump in the road and needed a tad of help, they sat and laughed in our faces, even their innocent grandkids. You just never know what goes in some peoples' minds. Only count on yourself and God, literally. I'm here for you!!
Don't Trash MslaMT!
Oh, please, please! unless you know what you are talking about.....and by this I mean first-hand knowledge and not going by personal feelings....do not judge another by what they say or how they take care of their dog.
Debarking, shock collars, and citronella collars all have their place. What has happened to just plain ole' put the dog in the house? If the owners are at work and the dog cannot be trusted alone, a crate works wonders! Dogs generally bark a lot because they are lonely and/or bored.
The dog is not to blame, the OWNERS are.
BTW, MslaMT, when a dog is debarked, the voice box is not removed. Tissue in the vocal cords are reduced either by a surgical incision or laser. This reduction only changes the pitch of the bark, it does not eliminate it. The dog can still bark and he/she can bark to their heart's content....they have no idea they've had a procedure done, all they know is that they are not being told to shut up it. Their bark can come back over time, but this is not the norm.
I wouldn't trash you....sm
It is a built-in word Expander for Dictaphone EXText platform. Any ideas why people use both?

I hate those but I hate trauma notes on children even more sm
I used to work for a large hospital that saw a lot of children for various horrible things.
The very last one I did was a 12yo boy who had hung himself while his mother was at work. She thought he was in school. The doctor cried, I cried (as I usually did) and I just couldn't handle that anymore. That was the longest report I swear. Short in lines but the length was almost an hour. The doc didn't pause the machine, she cried, horrible gut wrenching sobs, and I did too, right along with her.
I carry my mail in, sort it immediately, and put the junk in the trash.

their book. In fact, I love the BOS2. It is not a regular grammar book at all - there are hundreds of issues in it that are point specific to MTing and medical field. I have dozens of regular grammar books, too, for other purposes, and they are not similar at all. I purchased the BOS2 when out job interviewing for a few months. Every single employer wanted me to have my own company, and they all tested off of it. Several used it in their daily work, and I have found it priceless over all. I think its even on sale now, but $89 is not a lot for a professional tool that we should use if required, or if a newbie. MTs who don't like to buy books are not very wise in the big picture. Its like shooting yourself in the foot.

Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
If you're experienced, try for 9cpl or higher, and you're lucky to get that! nm

You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.

You're forgetting all the stuff you can't buy when you're UNEMPLOYED!
Unemployed people have a hard time buying anything, including cheaply made offshore products. How many will have to end up depending on public assistance? That means more tax dollars being eaten up - besides the taxes NOT being collected from the overseas workers. In the long run, are you really enjoying a lower price?

You're not losing it, you're burned out on your main job.
I feel for you... I am having my own "version" ;-) of these kinds of struggles. Lots of recent changes at the admin level have made my job do a 180, going from a really great one to a really crappy one.
For me, it's a struggle to get through the day with a shred of motivation. I get distracted in the way you discuss as well.
I just try to make my environment as comfortable as possible and make the best of it while I decide what the best way is to deal with the burnout... I figure if I can't change my inner brain workings so that I still like this job, I need to find another one, or this feeling will possibly get worse!
I hope it works out for you. Wish I had some better advice for you, but this really does look like burnout and extreme job dissatisfaction to me. We all wear it differently. Try to be good to yourself while you figure out a solution.
Don't know what you're complaint you're making with this post. sm
You stated in your original post that you don't want to work weekends or odd shifts. What is your definition of an odd shift? Second shift? Third shift? Sounds like you want to work M-F on days. Sounds kind of rigid to me.
Personally I like second shift, so everyone working days means more work for me!
