Not stoopid...

I've been at this for years and never got macros.  I use autocorrect.  Love it.  I will probably go to an Expander soon as I'm now doing many different drs. and will max out my AC.

examples:  ctn=continue; ctng=continuing; ctnj=continuation; ctnd=continued

just a letter adds word variance j=sion, tion and so forth.

Macros?  what are those...

  • If you are using Word use auto-correct to - what I know
  • Get yourself a text expander instead. - sm
    • The only way to make money now is typing SM - GM
      • Websites? - curious

Okay, I need some feedback here.  I did this stoopid mistake on one of my accounts over the weekend.  I downloaded the jobs, was typing happily along and oh, about 30 reports in realized I had been putting the wrong doc's name on the darned things.  AFTER they had been uploaded to the client.  I've worked on this account for about six months now, and I have NEVER made this kind of error before.  As soon as I was aware of the mistake, I immediately emailed my supervisor, but unfortunately there was nothing I could do to get the reports back and fix the errors. 

I know that 'confessing' my mistake was the right thing to do.  I also know the client must be pretty upset.  To make matters even more embarrassing, I had just asked for more work from the powers that be since my monthly quota is only equal to about an average week's lines. 

I guess I am looking for someone to tell me that I am not the only person who has done something so very stoopid.  I hope I don't end up losing my job over this.  It is the first major mistake I have made, so hopefully the company wouldn't be so short-sighted, but you never know.  We had just gotten an email memo from the pres of the company a few weeks ago saying how since there were not enough reliable, quality MTs out there, the company is switching totally to VRE by the end of the year.  Anyhow...

You can bet I will pay extra-close attention to the next jobs I get, if I get any...Can't believe I did this. 

What do you all think?  Thanks...

I am relatively new to this board, so forgive the question, but I do not know what Medquist is in that, why is there a board specifically for them and - I guess, just what is up with them?

Thanks
