oy!  Those poor kids, not asleep in bed yet, and exhausted mom or dad are tryyyying to catch up with dictation ... imho -- the worst ... though I admit I personally have never had from-the-car-on-the-freeway dictation which I gather beats the band! 

Wailing children are so heart wrenching.

I have had awful dictation this afternoon - sheer torture, as most of us are familiar with.

Thought I would share this to lighten things up: "Discharge instructions were given in both verbal and oral format."   He whipped through this report in about 45 seconds - they don't even listen to themselves.

Doctor dictates:  "Extremities are warm and well perfused."

What I almost typed:  "Extremities are warm and well PERFUMED." 

    Time for a break

It was dictated as Allergies:  Sulfones. 

I transcribed "Allergies:  Cell phones"  . . . . until I realized what I'd done. 

Somebody beat me with a wet noodle!

I think everyone really could use a good laugh these days and now with ASR, MTs can contribute as well as QA. I get some really funny ones but forget to write them down so was thinking it would be neat to have an ongoing blooper board on this site. The comedy board is great; and being an MT site, I think a blooper board would be very appropriate and appreciated.  Thanks for your consideration!

We used to rent and went through that.  I've worked as a housekeeper before, so I'm anal about cleaning.  Security deposits are for damages only, usually not for routine cleaning.  We had landlords try to charge us for many reasons, but there are Landlord/Tenant laws in each state.  In my state, the landlord has to notify us that the unit is not clean enough and give us time to clean it up before they can withhold from the security deposit.  If they don't notify you, your deposit is fully due to you.  They also have to give you an itemized list of specific charges, not just general cleaning.  I always took pictures before and after, too, just to prove that we left everywhere clean.

We had one altercation with a landlord in a basement apartment we lived in.  The foundation was cracked and leaking, and the ancient threadbare 1950s carpet got stained with water, moldy, and mildewy, so we tore it out and replaced it with remnants.  He tried to charge me for recarpeting the entire basement apartment.  I took pictures, though, and threatened him with a lawsuit of my own for providing substandard living quarters, failing to make repairs, and withholding my security deposit.  He tried to bully me by telling me that he had never lost a case, so I turned him in to the county.

Go to Google and type in your state name with "Landlord Tenant laws" and "security deposit" to see what it says.  Then call an attorney for a free consultation.  Send a demand letter for the funds owed to you.

Not doing that is what has made the world go upside down right now.

If I am paid 7/cents a line and my cost of living is based on 12/cents a line plus

benefits, it's almost impossible to keep working for that company who is paying

7/cents a line.

It's pretty simple.

America still demands that we live an "American life style - no sh^t in the rivers, building codes, codes on how many people can live in a dwelling, high insurance rates, etc etc"

well, paying all that and making what a company is paying a peoples who don/'t have those demands is insane.

It's a simple question to our leaders?

Do you want us to live like the third world country? or do you want to give us ability to make salaries to pay for the LIFE STYLE America is demanding we do.

Frankly I'm sick and tired of paying for free loaders of any color.  When I saw Laurie Duh (don't know how to spell her name) on Fox yesterday report that one of the homeless from New Orleans........went out and bought a LOUIS VUITTON PURSE

with the $2000 she got..........I STARTED SCREAMING and if I could have gotten my hands around the neck of the idiot who thought it was a good idea to give these people the money in the first place I would have strangled him.........and then I would have done the same to the woman who bought the purse.

I'm sitting here in pain from a bad tooth and no insurance.........and she bought a purse.........LOUIS VUITTON.

p.s. Billfolds in Louis Vuitton start at around $600 and the purses are around $1500 to $5,000.

So what if it's not the South of France.  As long as you had a good time and enjoyed yourself, that's what it's all about! 

I have done a lot of traveling, and I can tell you the best vacation that goes down in my memory book is going to Sanibel Island, Florida - surf fishing, catching fish - swimming in the ocean - and kicking back wtih my honey with a Mai Tai.  We sent out to dinner at lot at some really nice restaurants there, but the best was steaks on the grill the resort had available there and a great bottle of vino.

I hope you get to Myrtle Beach again and enjoy yourself.

It's a good idea to do it every couple of months or so. It helps your computer to run faster and more efficiently.

Before I run defrag, I usually glance through my files and delete anything that is outdated or no longer necessary. I open my browser and delete history, files, and cookies. I empty the Deleted Items folder in my email. And I go to Add/Remove Programs and review all the programs I have installed and see if there are any I'm not using any more.
