In Reply to: Anyone remember the Wang? - catsxoxo
Back in 1981 when I graduated from high school I went to the local technical school (now community college) and went to secretarial school. Yes, they called us secretaries then. When I graduated the program I got hired by the school in their word processing lab. They had a word processing program that taught the different WP machines then - Wang, Dictaphone, Lanier, Radion. Some of them had the big floppies, and those were the bomb. The Radion still used the old tapes. We got one of the new IBM word processing machines - can't remember the name - and boy, were we the schnitz!!!!!
I remember vividly a conversation I had with someone. I told them that in 5 years those machines were going to be obsolete because of this new fangled invention called a personal computer that had just come out that could be programmed with different stuff, not just word processing.

OH MY GOSH!! sm
Unbelievable! See what I mean about my experience versus your experience? TransTech absolutely has the most knowledgeable and nicest techs I've ever worked with and believe me, I've worked with A LOT.
Gosh, is this about you? nm
~~
Oh gosh! May I ask.....
how you found that info out? I hit their web site and it made no mention of anything off shore related....... ID like to know how to find that stuff out on my own!
Gosh - thank you all so much! (sm)
I am very grateful to those who took the time to graciously answer my question. I am now armed with information and dangerous! Won't be getting this particular office to jump on board in the near future, though. I just found out that they don't even have access to the internet. Thanks again! Loo
OH MY GOSH!
I sure hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine!!! Make sure you can send it back if you are not 100% delighted!
Let me know how it goes.
oh my gosh, I had one just the other
day. It was a consult and was 98 minutes long, yes 98 minutes. Well after typing for 3 minutes I was "put on hold" and got to listen to crappy music. I did short forwards for a bit and then just went to the end of the 98 minutes and did a few backwards and, sure enough, it was all music; 3 minutes of typing and 95 minutes of crappy music!!
Oh my gosh ne!
I was just reading your thread about the C-phone and lost dictation and saw what you went through 2 years ago. I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry. I'm glad that you and your sons are okay. I can't imagine going through what you are.
Although I know nothing about C-phone, work gets lost all the time and work can be reassigned, I'm sure. Please don't be so hard on yourself. Hang in there.
OH MY GOSH, THANK YOU
I really needed to hear that today. My job is so low paying and so thankless and I am very conscientious so even to get a thank you from a stranger is touching me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Oh my Gosh!!!

Oh my gosh, its not just me!! I used to
love to stop by MT chat about once a week, to browse all the great and informative posts, knowing I would never see the trolling and ego bashing that runs prevalent here. I was SHOCKED to see just a few old timers over there now, just about blocking every poster who dared ask a question or make a comment. Smashed!! I don't know where the usual mods are, but its very obvious and I am avoiding that place now like the plaque. Always expected more class and better behavior over there. Guess I have to pay for mT daily? So sad.
Oh my gosh; we get it already.
Oh my gosh...THANKS!!!
Gosh...I have so many...
But here are a few that really bug me most of all:
"...contemporaneously read by me..."
"Subsequently however."
"Otherwise again as well the patient had XYZ as well."
Let me not forget these beauties:
"has got"
"has also"
"was subsequently was"
"primarily secondary"
I guess if your doc can start every sentence with "at this moment" then I should let mine say "at this point here in the emergency room upon arrival..." lol
Gosh no
I had enough of that all winter! I'm thankfully beginning to perk up, but we don't have snow here.... flowers blooming, 60-degree weather, fruit trees blooming. I will keep you all in my prayers and hope your mood gets better very soon. It is so hard to do this job and deal with depression!
Gosh, at what point will it be enough? sm
You'll have costs that go with that amount of work --- loss of energy, loss of family/friend time, actual wear and tear on your physical self, etc.
You need to decide what is enough and then live by it.
My opinion, anyway.
Gosh, I don't know but that was not the point
 of this post. Yes, I have had to deal with "customer service" reps at different times and usually they seem to have an Indian accent and, quite honestly, I will NOT waste my time trying to understand them.....If I have to take my time to just try to understand what they are saying I tell them straight out "I cannot understand a word you are saying and please let me speak to someone that has more command of the English language"......that usually does work!
And of course, it is very difficult for people to change their accents. I would think that most Americans are able to understand most "accents" here in the U.S. including New Yorkers, Bostonians and even us good ole southerners!!!! English, the last time I looked, was the official language of our country. It is frustrating enough now a'days to have to stay on hold for up to 30 minutes for a service call but THEN to have to speak with someone you can't even understand is just ridiculous! This is only common sense....think about it! Changes must be made for the better and, believe, it will happen when the American people have had all they can take...and the time is soon!
Good gosh!
I love this platform as well, but NEVER EVER came close to your line count! That is absolutely insane! Please share what account(s) you work on and what office you work for.
PS - Do you or have you ever had carpal tunnel?!?!?!?!
Oh, my gosh! This is GREAT!!!...
 I think I'm going to like this better than Sylcount!!! It looks terrific!
Oh gosh, I have too - and beer. nm
x
gosh, who are you talking about?
sounds like a management problem. not greedy mt.
Gosh, you must be one of the greedy MTs
Oh, my gosh! That is too funny!
Great way to start off a Monday!
I have an ESL who takes the 's' out of effusion. Took me forever to figure out what he was saying because "pleural" wasn't coming out very recognizable, either! Gotta love this job!
Oh, my gosh. That is too funny. I
"my original words of wisdom about judging"
Gosh, you really should get some sleep
I always fear I will make an error when I am feverish and sleepy. I think the boss would understand. The symptoms will subside more quickly more likely if you get plenty of rest. Also, less chance of secondary bacterial infection in the lungs. You may want an antibiotic with strep. But, you be the judge.
Oh my gosh! You're right! sm
I had no trouble reading that post. That's so funny!
oh gosh, that is definitely not the case
the terminology were very, very easy. That I can absolutely post and say with confidence. It was the way the doctor jumped around in his dictation and stating "put this here" "put that there" I didn't know what was a heading and what wasn't. His reports were 5 pages long. But the terminology was EASY. NO QUESTION about it.
Gosh, took me at LEAST 6 months
of 40+ hours a week to even start feeling mildly comfortable with the whole thing. Even now, if I try to learn a new account, I get butterflies in my gut worried I'm gonna muck something up and tend to go a lot slower and double or even triple check everything....but that's just my personality about everything in my life in general. I'm a freak like that ;-)
oh gosh. I would have had to step away for
hours probably..... I do ER reports and had 4 bad ones in a row earlier this week - makes me really count my blessings. My toes curl typing procedures I have had or my children have had - I've never done an OP note such as you described... I don't think I could handle at all.
Oh my gosh, so funny
Although some of it was user error. How many of us were screaming "upper case I" at the screen whenever he said capital I. Too funny though. The best part is the docs will not even check, they will just talk and let us try to figure out what they were trying to say.
Gosh, who was that directed at?
I had a child on Cobra before as a bridge between college and her getting a job- oh, 5 or 6 months, very expensive I remember. Who lost their husband? I gained bunch of weight when the thyroid went. Weight definitely can be health related.
Gosh, sorry to hear about....sm
your problem. I think mine may be different though. I can't block it, because it says my own email address is sending these things to me. If you put your cursor over the sent "from address" it has my own email address with my husband's name attached to my email....weirdest thing I've ever seen. I can only think that it's a virus, but my Norton hasn't caught anything. I don't know what to do, because I can't block my own email from coming into my mailbox, because I send reminders to myself all the time, and can't block my husband's name either.
Thanks for responding, though, I appreciate it (sorry about your hubby, though)
Oh My GOSH! I do feel stupid!
That was pretty easy! I did everything but that! thanks! 
My gosh. You and puppy are VERY lucky.
Definitely keep that kid out of your yard now. Good luck!
Gosh, I don't know how you do it with 3 kids home
On the losing steam after the first 1000 lines, maybe if (when school starts especially) if you do the first two-thirds of your work while they are gone then get a good break before they come home, time to relax, be with them when they crash through the door, get supper/homework done, and they get to bed - then you could finish your last 500 or 600 lines or so? That way you got a better break.
Oh, my gosh! What a pathetic attitude...
Those poor people need help! What would you expect them to do? They have lost EVERYTHING, and many of them didn't have much to begin with. They can't go back to where they lived. Most only have the clothes on their backs. Shame on you.
My gosh!! How is it that you are making less than $10/hour - sm
are you new?? Who are you working for? Do you use expanders???
Oh my gosh - I live in Exeter
I work for Teletrak in the office in Porterville. If you work in the office they pay by hour. Check us out. They're a growing company and great to work for. New accounts are coming so they are hiring right now.
Gosh. I have never heard of it and went to go there and told me
I had been banned from the forum! Oh well. lol
Gosh, I wish I loved OP, just can't do 'em
/
Gosh, I never would have asked the question ...
if I had known it was going to get ugly. For the record, I also hate NASCAR and there are no moose in Harrisburg, PA.
Gosh, I honestly have no idea...
Never tried the Bose. They certainly are cheaper! I have been very happy with these though, especially since when something happened to the one pair and they sent a second to me at absolutely no cost....so hard to find customer service like that these days!
oh my gosh, Cynical, you and I must have had the same boss - sm
She told me a monkey could do my job. Needless to say, that two and a half monkeys are now doing the job with fewer docs and fewer patients. When I had that job, I ALONE WORKED 40 HOURS for 5 physicians, 3 midwives, and did some other odds and ends pertaining to my job. I was told a monkey could do my job.
The practice has gotten much smaller, fewer clinicians, and the job that I once held alone is now being done by 2-1/2 people. Go figure!!
oh my gosh, I have about 40,000 abbv's in my expander! sm
These Expanders are built to handle this. I use Instant Text. I used Smartype before that, and I was more limited, but still had probably 25,000. (This includes single words and phrases)
gosh you 3 are still looking at my posts? geessshhh

Oh my gosh - I remember those days. sm
I started working at home 18 years ago when my son was born. I would have him in my office with me. He liked the bouncy walker back then. He would sit in it for about an hour bouncing up and down.
I would take him for a long walk and to the playground in the mid morning to tire him out. He would nap for a couple of hours in the afternoon and that's when I did some work. But, I have to tell you, I did most of my work at night when he went to bed. I had him on a strict schedule for napping, meals, bathing, and then bedtime.
Bedtime was 8 p.m. I started work at 8:30 p.m. and was done by 2 a.m. I managed 5-6 hours of sleep a night.
I lived on coffee and any other type of caffeine I could ingest. Not very healthy, but doable.
Back then, I had my own accounts, picking up and delivering tapes, etc. I took him along with me in the morning to deliver and pick up. It was very difficult, but somehow I managed.
It gets more difficult when they are more mobile, around ages 2 to 4. Then at age 5, they go to kindergarten, and you kinda get your work day back.
You know your child better than anyone. You sort of have to schedule your work day around him or her.
IC status worked for me in this situation. I don't think I could have done it as an "employee" type job with a strict work schedule.
Good luck ~ I hope this helped in some little way.
By the way, I still work evenings and night 18 years later, and I have daughter 16.
gosh I never thought anything was WRONG with my bf
I always just knew men are warmer than women for the most part. He is 28 now and is like my heater in the winter, but during the summer it sounds exactly like your husband with the sweating. However this only occurred when we moved to the high desert a couple of years ago. He started soaking the sheets like he peed the bed! Don't worry it may just be he sweats a lot. Does he sleep with blankets on?
What I did in order to stay in the same bed was i just made like a little "barrier" in between us. I mean, it's not the best idea, but if you still want to know he's there, at least you won't be touching the sweatiness. I used pillows...
hope everything is okay
Oh my gosh, be thankful and learn!
Seriously, since you're fresh out of school and this is your first job, really take the time to learn from Q.A. and don't worry about how long you stay on Q.A. If the QA people are good (as they should be), it's almost like on-the-job training for you, newMT.
Don't beat yourself up over it or second guess your competency. I think all of us here would agree that no matter how long we've been doing MT work, we STILL learn something new just about every day. The fields and specialties (not to mention every doctor's little idiosyncracies, lol!) will take YEARS to get a confident handle on, so don't sweat it.
Welcome to the world of MT and I think the fact you're so conscientious translates into great success for you.
Hang in there, be thankful for a helpful QA team who can help you learn, and don't push yourself too hard/too fast. You're going to be just F-I-N-E.
Oh my Gosh - WEGMANS has cruelty to animals??
That is the only place I will do my grocery shopping - I haven't seen the video yet, but please say it isn't soooo. There are only a few Wegmans - Where will I goooooo??!!!?!?
oh my gosh, run, do not send them money - it is a scam. nm
x
Ohmy gosh YES!!! Especially for particular docs who ALWAYS do it and I'm sure don't realize it
x
My gosh this is my story today except for kids...sm
and what I found and the lesson learned is they all lie... even the ones you thought would never, that you admired and trusted. This is a cut throat biz. Time to take care of yourself!!! That is my motto...
