I have spent the morning polishing up my resume, and I must say... I think it looks pretty fantastic.  I have sent out about half a dozen so far and will print some for mailing when I get out this afternoon for resume paper.  You guys really helped dry my frustrated tears and feel confident that I was doing the right thing in feeling like I need to get out ASAP, even though I love my doctors. 

I'm sure you won't be too shocked to hear that I have not worked a whole lot so far this morning. Funny how we're a lot more motivated to work when we're actually getting paid, isn't it?  Ha ha! 

I just wanted to say thanks again.  I was feeling very alone last night and you guys really came through.  {{{{{{{{MT Boardies}}}}}}}}}

Was just browsing a catalogue my son received from ThinkGeek and there is "Das Keyboard" which is a keyboard WITHOUT letters!!!  It is $80!!!  How many of us have a keyboard like this? 

They have a whole bunch of cute stuff for the geek who has everything if anyone is interested. 

I have got my foot pedal to work with Express Scribe.  Now, how do I get the dictation over to it?  I received the dictations through email attachment. 

THANKS SO VERY VERY MUCH!!!

I use timestamp by syntap.com.  Free.  It's a clock that I shut off and turn off.  When, I stop typing to take a break of any kind, I shut it off, and then I turn it on when I am back to work.  This lets me see just how much time I can waste - like time I take to come to this board when I should be working. 

You can set a dollar amount that you earn, too, to show how much you are making in the time you work.

No "kaching" sound, either, but I keep it running where I can see it as a reminder of my time.  It has improved my line count during the hour so I am not goofing off so much.

I transcribed an x-ray report yesterday that was 1 minute 59 seconds long. For 1 minute and 53 seconds, the radiologist was on the phone with her child trying to explain the concept of time, as in how long it would be before she got home. Then she had a conversation with one of the x-ray techs about explaining the concept of time to children. The last 6 seconds of the report, she dictated a chest x-ray. And yes, she gave it a full dictation - this lady talks fast.

Once in a while I overhear something juicy, though....when I worked in-house, I heard a conversation between two radiologists about a new doctor they were hiring, and another time I heard a discussion giving their not-so-great opinions of some of the other doctors at the hospital. After all, we were told to always listen to the very end of the dictation to make sure we didn't miss anything.

Much Luck; you may be surprised!  Be flexible, that's what I say! 

Ooh! I am the world's biggest dummy.  I didn't even think of just keeping the email from my boss saying I am to keep it off the log.  Thank goodness for gmail, I have that archived somewhere. 

Thank you! As a former schoolteacher turned MT, it just makes my head hurt to keep typing "equivocable".  Ouch!

(Oh, and he uses "henceforth" when he means "therefore".  Drives me nuts.  And these people are writing prescriptions for narcotic medications.  Yowza!)

If you don't know how to post his picture I'm sure there's several people here who'd be more thanhappy to show you how to do it. 

Come on. We're all waiting with bated breath to see your hunk of a husband because we know he probably puts Tom Cruise to shame.
