But maybe she does not like watching MTs look stupid
ranting about something that isn't even true? I know I don't.
I've interviewed Indian MT's. Most have two master's. Most Indians have two master's
it is part of their government's specific plan of action for positioning India to be at the forefront of the global economy.
Master's in psychology.
Is it just me, or do the posters who are claiming to have master's degrees in psychology seem to be the ones who are completely confused, angry, and irrational? It seems that they are the ones most in need of psychoanalysis. Heaven help anyone who actually who actually tries to get help from these nut jobs! By the way, I assume nut job is politically incorrect, but I don't don't give a flying...
I don't know that you necessarily HAVE to have a master's. sm
I had never heard of the existence of such a major the first time I went to college 15 years ago or I would have gone for it then, but I have since come across schools that offer it as a bachelor's degree. The prgoram I'm in is an online degree program from a university in another state than I live.
I don't have a straight answer for you on what the demand is for someone with this training. A lot of jobs ask for broad qualifications...like, "a degree in English, communications, or related field," so I figure that's me, LOL. It's probably something where you have to have an idea of WHAT you want to do and then find a way to get there, rather than to wait for an opening to appear.
Stupid is as stupid does, says Forrest...

Go into your master volume on your computer....
make sure in playback control that your wave playback is not muted and the volume is up there.

Hope this helps!
Master Bedroom--one day will have my own space though - sm
probably in 5 or so years....going to move and build on some property we have 12 miles from where we are now....so it with either be an extra bedroom or "the study" downstairs. My husband will be happier as he has trouble falling to sleep when I am working (noisy/hard keyboard).
Master Gardener Program
I am considering enrolling in a Master Gardener program.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  I would love to hear from you if you do or know anyone who does.  Thanks!
Working on Master's in counseling and sm
I have had a hiatus of nearly 3 years. I could not decide if this is where I really wanted to go. Recently, I put myself back in therapy with my last therapist after a 5-year hiatus to help me decide. Two sessions and I can see the clear path back to it and yes, this is my "true calling."

I feel pushed to get out of MT because my hands are suffering after 15 years of this. I have 3 autoimmune disorders too. I am having energy problems and focus problems...pain and all that comes with AIs. I have trouble with consistently good line counts and I am working 2 jobs out of sheer boredom with the entire thing. It has nothing to do with no making as much money or ASR or any of it. It is my body telling me to move along. I also believe I would be happier as a counselor.
I am working towards my master's and I don't transcribe any longer.

I used to work in the master bedroom and now I have my own office. I could

What do you need a Master's Degree in to be a science writer?
?
I am starting back in my Master's program in the fall sm

I don't have to work too long of hours to get my $3200 a month, the problem is that ONE THIRD of it goes for taxes and insurance (ins portion is a big old $130 a month of that 1/3). 


I can't sit still most days, although I do all right money wise.  I am knowing that this is a dying career choice and what I am going into is not.  It is not medical either, which is just fine.  I have had careers as a banker, a child care provider, a dressmaker and now an MT.  All very different and so, I feel like I can go and be a mental health professional and like it.  I have so many people who come to me with their problems, it isn't even funny.  Even my last therapist has started coming to me for things. Honestly, if this is the case I should be getting paid for my time. I need to go and get some more initials behind my name.  I only have a BA there now, and this will be MS...


Does anyone know why the wave volume control on my master volume controls... SM

on my PC would turn itself all the way down?  It's driving me nuts!  It's like it resets itself to the low possible setting and when I go to work, I'm turning my speakers up full blast trying to hear and when I check my volume controls on my PC, the wave setting is turned all the way down.  I turn it back and everything is loud and clear and I have to turn my speakers back down and then I'll do something the internet and BOOM it resets itself!


I feel bad because I've been accusing my kids of messing with the controls and they have been swearing they didn't do it and I haven't exactly believed them, but it has happened twice to me this evening while I'm working and I know no one else has touched my PC but me.


After watching this
I'd have to say I now know why I had no idea this was going on.  If more people knew about this, how their meat was being "harvested" and what they do to these animals, they wouldn't be in existance at all and thats what they are afraid of.  These images should be shown to schools all over the U.S. to teach at a young impressionable age that this is what is going on and it needs to change.  I myself know that I need meat in my diet, we all need it, I don't eat a lot of it because too much can be bad for you, but how am I going to eat after watching this??  It sickens and hurts me and I can't believe people can work a full day treating a living thing like this.  Imagine their lives, born into complete suffering and agony, you can HEAR it.  I'm just completely blown away.  There is a better way to do this.  Why are they being hurt alive?  We have enough technology to take away their pain at the very least not to mention the living conditions.  I'm completely hurt and I think more people should be.
watching less and less
Seems like half of the year is reruns and alot cable stations are reruns from regular tv. Getting sick of the same shows day after. Cut it off for awhile see how you like it.
Okay, I'm watching CNN now and (sm)
They are showing the expressway where people are trying to evacuate... total gridlock. It's like a 6 to 8-lane interstate, but they don't have the other direction open... what I'm trying to say is they can open up the other side to let more people evacuate, even though they would be going down the highway in the wrong direction. No one is even on the other side..

All these poor people in their cars, just moving like turtle and this thing is coming... I just don't get it.
you must not have been watching the same...sm

YOU must not have been watching the same show and even today - they showed clips all over the TV and HIS BICEPS AND TRICEPS are in TREMENDOUS GOOD SHAPE for anybody 62.....


Obviously your upper arms are batwings.......if you think his upper arms were in bad shape.  You should only look so good in the upper arm area.......


Have you tried watching
Desperate Housewives or Greys Anatomy? I think they're both entertaining shows, although Desperate Housewives was better last year.
If you like watching
made for TV movies, try the Lifetime channel. Once in a while I can find a good movie there. Good luck
still watching ER
It is not quite as good as it once was but still head and shoulders above much of the other stuff on TV. I still watch and like the newer characters. Neila is interesting right now as is the situation with Kovac and Abby.
When you are watching something like CNN
when there is a big news story (like the miners in WV) and you're hearing this stuff supposedly live and then you hear someone like Wolff Blitzer repeat the information and say something totally different than what someone said just 3 minutes ago.   Not the same subject, but it also drives me totally insane when they ask someone who has lost a loved one in a horrific manner - how do you feel.  HOW DO YOU THINK THEY FEEL?  And why do they feel like they need to get up in the face of someone who is burying a loved one - is nothing sacred anymore. 
Yes, I have been watching
It's keeping my interest enough to keep watching and actually it better than I thought it would be.  
I'm watching sm
Although I missed the last episode. I'll catch it next week before the next episode hopefully. Don't know who will win.
I'm watching.
It's nice that you can see one episode right after the other. So easy to get involved that way. I wanted to see more of Tym's work also, but I think David is going to win. Alice is the brunette, right? I'm glad the young blond got kicked off. She was dizzy if you ask me!
So very sad watching this
Sitting here watching Animal Channel and the tribute to Steve Irwin. My heart is still crying. His wife, Terri, looks so grief stricken. What a loss.
I've been watching the news but
haven't heard if anyone is claiming responsibility?  On a different note, I was just telling a friend yesterday that before 9-11 I heard that the biggest thing on the news was shark attacks.   Hoped it wasn't an omen.
Well, I cried while watching them all
xx
Watching the news
My heart goes out to those who are homeless, jobless, lost everything in their lives, many including loved ones.  I have come to appreciate my family, job and home so much in the last few days.  I stopped to get gas today, only needed 1/2 tank and it ended up costing $25, went up 35 cents since yesterday.  Somehow this is very scary, nearly everything we have comes through the trucking industry.  The ramifications of this will be far reaching, everything will go up......well, everything but an MTs pay, but hey, I have a job and I don't need to get in my car to do it. 
watching you like a hawk?
What really happened?
No, there's nothing on TV that's worth watching anyways.
I do listen to my CDs, though.  Music makes my type faster.
They are definitely watching. See post below about my
experience with Verizon long distance any my $2500 bill in one month.  I only call 2 numbers long distance and they are my hospital accounts so they knew what I was doing.
And you keeping watching, don't you?
Why anyone would watch that show is beyond me, but to each his own. All 3 of those judges are nutty in their own way. If Simon had a Brookly accent instead of a British accent, no one would find him charming. Paula has always been a little looney - remember when she was married to Emilio Estevez?

All this friction between Simon and Paula is just a publicity stunt.
Three that I never tire of watching are:

The American President (Michael Douglas and Annette Benning)


The Jazz Singer (Laurence Olivier and Neil Diamond....ohhh, I ADORE Neil Diamond)


My Big Fat Greek Wedding (Nia Vardalos and John Corbett)


I believe it is, since they are watching your children & (sm)
in the event of an emergency such as an allergy, should you not disclose something it would not benefit anyone. Especially your child. I do ER transcription and have had kids come in to the ER with new onset diabetes, and the nurse knew to check since it was in the family history, so that is something to think about.
No, you said to prove that as you were watching,
That is exactly how it happens. But people can do this type of work from home as well as on-site. I am a member of another transcription board and there are several ladies there that do this. They are always posting jobs on the job board there for this type of work. Why is it so hard to believe that they can do this from home? What would be any different if they were sitting in an office transcribing?

But believe what you want, since you are always right anyway. ;)
we're watching out pay go down -
I personally went from 70K a year to 40K. And I am doing nothing different. Oh, but then, I am working 3 extra hours daily. So, yes, I/we get ticked off at this industry - perhaps the stress of its creators is settling in.

I am glad I have a job...so glad it hurts.
Still tearing up after watching it over and over
Animals have always been a big part of my life. I just love them and they never cease to amaze me. This is an unbelievable story. I just went and ordered the VHS documentary of Christian the Lion on Ebay! I have to see more of this. Thanks SO MUCH for posting this.
I don't enjoy watching my pay go

from a living wage in the 80s/90s with decent line counts and fairly decent dictators to horrendous ESLs, "creative" line counts to gyp the MT, and pay so low you can make more at McDonald's.


I do enjoy transcribing & editing.  Preaching to the choir here, as we all know MT isn't something anyone without training and skill can do.  The pay should be commensurate with knowledgel, but sadly it isn't.  That is why I only do MT on weekends now and have a FT job in a completely different field.  I simply can't afford to be an MT anymore.


When enough skilled transcriptionists leave the MT industry and US hospitals are fed up with offshore quality or get sued enough times and the message finally hits home, maybe there will be a demand again for MT, but I doubt it.  That is my hope though.


It's a distraction. Besides, there's nothing on worth watching
anyway.  I don't even have a favorite TV show any more because they've all gotten so offensive.  One thing that helped me was to figure out how much time I wasted during a day and how many lines I typed on the message boards.  That's all wasted.  It could be earned money instead of fooling around with meaningless distractions.
I thought I was the only one up at 3 a.m. watching that show. lol. nm

:)


Watching Captain Kangaroo
I was 5 at the time, but I have always liked the Beatles and for some reason I remember not the exact moment but a moment where I'm sitting on the couch and the news is on.  My 6 year old loves the Beatles.  It's so cute to hear here sing the songs.  She doesn't like all of them, but she has her favorites. 
Up all night watching CNN and most of today.
Not that I can do anything but pray, but I have been so hoping for a miracle and willing them to walk out.   With the floods in CA and the fires in TX and OK we need a miracle. 
Watching Grey's Anatomy and never
saw it before.   I couldn't tell if they were daydreaming, going back or going forward.   I missed a couple of seconds when the phone rang and the Asian girl who was pregnant is in the hospital and the doctor is cuddling her.  Did she miscarry? 
TRXinc - i'm sure they're watching.

Thanks, I love watching these things. nm

I haven't been watching it as long as you but...

Trisha went to the nut house but was faking her mental illness so they wouldn't put her in jail.  As far as her Dad - I don't even remember him.  Brittany supposedly went to live with her parents after Bobby was killed. I think eventually they'll be back on.


Thought Scott (Lauren's son) was coming back.  Also, what happened to writer/killer he was working with?  The last I knew she went for another "new face".  Maybe she's the new chick at the coffee house (where did she pop in from)?  LOL - This situation with Victor is so ridiculous.


Nick and Phylllis are the best part.  They add spark to the show....and that's not sayin' much.   


Actually makes me feel someone is watching OUT for me

I have been watching the internet news --sm
concerning this, as I still have previous marriage relatives that live in various parts of the east coast. This is horrible, and now I read something about a dam (near NY, I think) that is being weakened by waters 25 ft above flood stage...what else can happen!? Take care to all of you out there!
my dad was debilitated and suffering and watching this
