Wait, you want me to walk in a masochist's shoes or a liar's shoes and work 80 hours for what?
Kick off the freaking shoes. Why do you wear them 80 hours a week was the question.
colors
I have found light peach background with dark brown text to be very helpful.
What screen colors do you use?
What screen colors are easiest on your eyes? I read somewhere that shades of lavender/purple actually caused the least eye strain. (I'm assuming no color blindness!) I've been using black text on white background for a long time, but I'm getting old, the bifocals slip on my face, and I'm trying new colors. Just wondering what colors most MTs use to prevent eye strain.
my true colors
Yeah if Mexicans coming in the US illegally and me as a taxpayer having to pay for them to freeload over here makes me a racist and I am showing my true colors then hey I guess I am racist. It is not right. That is why they are known as ILLEGAL aliens. If they would go about it the RIGHT way and become citizens and get jobs and try to better themselves then it would be different but I have a first hand view of what they do and most of them do it. They come over here and try to get all they can for nothing. Yeah I probably would want to come over here but they can do it legally and try to better themselves not be moochers. My parents gave this "little mexican girl" a place to park her camper and asked for no money for rent only utility to be paid. My parents had to ask her 3 times for a utility payment when she has a job and had the money. She expected to live for free off my parents. Dont ask how she got a job because she is illegal and finally admitted it when my mother pressed her. Maybe it was a job where they dont check I don't know. My parents have tried to give and be nice to this girl but she continually takes advantage.
Screen colors
Changing screen colors through the control panel will not change anything on any other computer. That's just nonsense.
Your coworkers sound as though they changed the font color and background color ON THE DOCUMENT itself using the formatting commands. That's the only way a change would transfer with the document itself.
Changing it with Barb's method will give you a glaring blue background with white text. You can't get aqua that way.
You can change your colors in Windows. Start, Control Panel, Display, then choose a color scheme in Desktop. Get as close as you can with one of the ones provided, then adjust the color of the background. You can invent your own if you're not happy with any you see there.
Software comes with built-in instructions now. Just click "help" on the toolbar.
Different pastel colors in a plaid.

All the different colors of correct-tape!
Sure does bring back memories. I remember sitting at my Selectric in my basement when I was a newbie back in 1975 crying my eyes out because I had just finished a 3 page report and the doc wanted me to insert a paragraph at the beginning of the report! There was no "memory" back then and the whole thing had to be retyped just to add one paragraph! I remember them fondly, but am much happier with my computer! Thanks for the walk down memory lane, though!
Horses change colors.....
Didn't ya see the Wizard of Oz? LOL
Here's a site for NC cottonmouth colors:

changing background colors
1. Click on Start | Control Panel | Display | Appearance | Advanced
2. Cick in the White box that says "Windows Text"
3. Under Item you'll have Window and under Color 1 you'll have you're bright white.
4. Click on the down arrow and either pick one of the colors you see or click on Other.
5. Click on the white box (lower right) and on the far right a bar will appear that goes from bright white to black. Click down the bar a little bit at a time until you get the color you like. You'll see the colors change in the COLOR box. When you have the color you like, click "Add to Custom Colors" and then click OK. Click OK twice more.
You have now changed the display on your screen alone. Whoever you send the file to will see it according to their settings.
The colors set on your computer pertain
only to you. It comes into the MTSO at however they have it set.
Click the More button on the colors tab so you can
further customize the color in the right window.
October! Love the colors of fall
I feel so alive!
Brighter colors do fade over time and I could
that is 12 years old.
Luxury? I can't imagine that! LOL As a woman who LOVES to try different colors
with the changing of the seasons, I know that wouldn't be for me at all! I would hate it after only a couple of weeks or so...
shoes
When I worked at hospitals, in Medical Records, the minute I got in, the shoes came off. I would put on thick socks and slide around the rooms in my sock feet for my shift, even when helping doctors or other staff..Never got complaints, in fact a few times they would laugh..now working at home, I wear flip flops and take the right foot off when working..
put yourself in his shoes -
You need to know the history of NO to know exactly how those people feel about politicians.. There was a tradition of corruption for many, many years. This is not about you and what words you hate. This was a desperate situation. FEMA and Bush had failed.
Shoes
I work in a hospital and have seen nurses, etc. wearing these--at least it sounds like them. I haven't asked any of them what they are because I think they are so dang ugly. I figured they must be very, very comfortable.
I was in your shoes
and I would highly recommend training if you're going to look outside the specialties you know. Especially with the national transcription companies, you will likely have a lot of ESL docs, and that can be a complete nightmare if you aren't already experienced in the field dictated. If you were transcribing work that a urologist from Egypt dictated, you would have a frame of reference because you're well-familiar with the world of urology and you would be able to 'hear past' the accent. But if the Egyptian doc was a neurologist or a cardiologist, it would be very difficult to decipher what you're hearing, when your knowledge of those specialities is more limited. Also, with a national company, you won't have the luxury of learning the other specialties a little bit at a time. It would probably make more sense to spend the money on further education so that when you make the change to multiple specialties, you'll be able to meet your line quotas.
I have been in your shoes
Not that we are by any means doing well right now, my kids get reduced lunches at school, but in the past I have gone to the local town's food pantry and they had given us a box of donated food, it helped us get through some very tough times. Keep your head up things will get better and one day you will look back and shake your head. Peace.
I was in your shoes....
Back in August, I switched over to satellite and I love it!! I've had no problems with it going out, even during storms. Once or twice, during a really bad stormy day, it was slower than usual and I had to keep getting back into web sites but I was able to work fine! I have been pleased with satellite! Good luck!
and shoes too!!
;
Some of the craft stores like Michael's carry them in funky colors, too. nm

It was wonderful outside. The butterfly bush is covered with butterflies of all colors. nm
:)
I also have walked in your shoes..
Talk about discouraging.. I have had over 13 years of what my doctors called "making them sound good" to going to work for "nationals" that will slow strip away your confidence. I even worked for 4 years at a large medical center (received bonus and raises based on performance), yet I have had these QA people at "nationals" tell me I am doing this wrong or that wrong. I swear I proofread my reports to death, yet they always find something, even incorrect punctuation which is subjective to me. I have been working at home and now feel that I can do nothing right, not even put a comma where it "should" go. They will pick your work to pieces and I have just accepted a position with a large local hospital. Imagine that... I even passed a transcription test to get that job. So, I am outta here and I cannot wait.
Oh, I'm so shivering in my shoes! Big bad ole you.
I'd laugh but it's too pathetic to even bother.
Walk in the shoes.

Oh man, that just makes me want to go put some shoes on!

I have not walked in your shoes, but my SIL has. sm
After having a reversal done on a tubal (and paying an ungoshly amount for it - roughly 15K), nothing happened. She was put on fertility drugs and still nothing happened. However, as of today, she started her 6 month of pregnancy. I am going to have a nephew and I cannot wait!! I am so happy for my brother and equally as happy for my sister in law (who is really more like my sis). She had a rough time the past couple of years and I spent many nights listening to her cry and wishing there was a way I could fix it (of course knowing there wasn't). God definitely shined on them! :)
I changed the background and text colors in the Windows appearance settings.
It does not transfer to anybody else. The colors you see on your screen are going to depend on your video card so only you can play with the colors to find one that is soothing to your eye.
do you wear shoes when you work? sm
if so, what kind? If I wear sneakers, my feet get too hot and sweaty. If I wear slippers, I don't feel like I get enough support. Any suggestions? 
I can't stand wearing shoes.
Sometimes I'll wear socks in the winter if my feet get cold.
re: Dancing Shoes and MQ Rocks
Yes there are MT's out there who only hae one account and never run out of work--none of these MT's work for the Amherst office, if they do, please feel free to prove me wrong. If there is an MT that works for the Amherst office and only has ONE account and they can make their lines and never run out of one--please let us know. Then we would know that their was hope for us. I agree with Dancing Shoes in the CA office, when our office closed 4 or 5 of our MT's were transferred to the CA MQ office, some went to the AZ MQ office, which has now closed, and those girls were transferred to the Dallas office, and some were transferred to the Ohio office, whcih according to one of the postings is being closed at the end of the year--all these MT's have plenty of work and only have one or two accounts and can make their production. My point is, if other offices can be run this way, why can't the Foxboro and Amherst offices be run the same way. Why do we need to be in 5 or 6 accounts, or as the MT that posted earlier today, she was in 8 accounts. Again, why can't all the offices be run the same. If there is not enough work to go around stop hiring more people--the accounts certainly can not be out of TAT when we are all out of work
actually i was in your shoes and I switched jobs. sm
I am a single mother and was not at all happy about where I was and no I didnt come on here and complain about it. Yes I did find another job, had to do without insurance for about a month, and glad I made the switch. I even accepted the job at the very same pay.
I think you are just scared to take that leap. i do have compassion, but when you arent happy about something, you should try to do something.
Whether it is to go to the proper channels with MQ and complain to them or find another job. It isnt doing anyone any good to come here. Nothing will change.
That is all I am saying.
It just gets everyone in an uproar and solves nothing.
You and only you have control over your life as I do mine.
To Dancin Shoes & Cathy
Good for both of you! Hey, I know exactly where you're coming from with the sore neck and shoulders - I had 2 cervical diskectomies with bone implants, screws and plate fixation in March. What I do is request a 12-hour window for work, then work 2 or 3 hours and break for 1 or 2, work another 2 or 3 and take that break, then do the last of my shift. It's incredible the difference it makes as opposed to sitting "frozen" all the way through!
Of course, there are days when I'm able to do more than 2 or 3 hours at a time, and I do them at will, but scheduling the 12-hour window really makes a difference.
If I were MT Queen for a Day, I would make that the #1 optional guideline for all MTs! We are, after all, the backbone of the medical profession!
OK, I'm off my soapbox now . . . :o)
put on your track shoes, baby! :)
I'll be officially divorced on September 10, 2006, and I can't wait! I was only married for a year and a half. I was absolutely at the end of my rope. I tried everything. Counselors, psychiatrists (for me), drugs, books, websites, EVERYTHING! I hated Fridays b/c it meant spending another two days with my husband. In my opinion, counseling is great, but it ONLY WORKS when the other party is ready to accept responsibility. And usually, sadly, they're just not.
As someone once said, "You don't need a reason to leave someone you can't stand!" I also really like this quote, "My worst day single is better than my best day married!"
Good luck, and remember, you DO deserve someone who treats you well.
PERIOD. ;)
I agree - put your running shoes on

Apply for a new job. If I was still at my original job, I'd be in your shoes. (NM)

weren't these shoes originally called...sm
to me, crocs would be made out of crocodiles (I do live in Florida *LOL*).....what you all describe sounds like the *jellies* my daughter wore when she was 10 or 12. 
They are a plastic clog. sm

This is a link, but you can get them lots of places on-line and you can probably get them at a uniform shop.
Plastic sugery
Just had a tummy tuck 8 weeks ago and I say if it will make you feel better, go for it.
Plastic surgery at 28?

need a plastic surgeon
Does anyone have any personal experience with Dr. Michael Petrosky with Plastic Surgery Center of the South in Marietta, Georgia? I am considering using him as I consulted with him and I really liked his manner and explanation of the surgery. I would like to talk with someone who has used him before just to see if he is a good doctor, but how can one go about doing that with the HIPPA laws? The only way I know to find out about patients of his is to ask their office and of course they aren't going to give me names/phone numbers. If anyone has any info on this doctor's practice would you mind sharing with me please? Or if you know of a way that I can talk to a few people who have used him, etc. Thanks very much.
need plastic surgery
Thanks very much for the info. I am having breast implants removed actually so want to make sure I find a doctor who really knows what he's doing. I appreciate your input. I will talk to some of the nurses; that's a good idea. 
I cut a hole in the plastic
on the back of the cassette (surgery!) and then pulled both ends out a little to make the tape job easier, and then respooled the tape back. No anesthesia needed; pt recovered well.
DID you take off the plastic strip?
that comes with the printer cartridge?
I can't put hard plastic against
my skin - now that causes itching! But if you have a latex allergy, you can make your own little covers out of fabric. Use a soft fabric like old worn out cotton flannel from PJs. cut little pieces from the fabric and use tiny rubber bands from your kid's braces to hold the fabric in place. Change them more out frequently if you have oily skin.
:o}
There is a plastic pipe
called PVC and there has been some question about exposure to this. I think people have been told to change older pipes out containing this.
I made a little foam heel rest so I can have my shoes off
otherwise, can't feel the peddle.
How about you just walk in the shoes you hold with disdain, and you get changes made

I love shoes, bras, and daily showers.
I must not be cut out to be an at-home MT!
