Regarding unlocked doors, rural or not
My sister once left this true-crime book at my house and I read it, I guess because I wanted to have nightmares for a week. It was about serial rapists (WHY does she read this stuff?) Anyway.... one thing I noticed was that almost ALL of these perps walked into people's houses thru their unlocked doors, usually in the middle of the day. Sure your husband may be right about if someone wants in they'll get it, but just like anyone else, criminals prefer to do things the easy way. Why help them?
Lots of people think that degrees open many doors.
Degrees close many doors, too. People won't hire you at all because you're overqualified or they think you'll jump ship the moment you find something better. A large percentage of this country is underemployed, and that number gets greater every day. Wages have plummeted because the young 20-somethings will work for peanuts. Why should businesses pay more for older workers when they can get a fresh college grad for next to nothing?
I took the doors off a big walk-in closet in our bedroom and set up in there. Cozy, cute, out of

First day blues
I started training my first day yesterday, no phone conversations, just numerous emails and templates/samples that were kind of confusing and had extensive header information that needed to be completed. Well, I went in under the wrong number on the system, not routed work and there were some formatting problems as well but it was my first day.
Well, I was happy when I finished, thought my work was good and all was well in the world only to wake up this morning to a really rough email. I know I made some formatting mistakes but geesh, it was my first day and this is training. I emailed and said how sorry I was for the misunderstanding on my part, explained how it would not happen again (and believe me it won't, I'm not the type to make repetitive errors), well that was this morning and I've heard nothing from the company since then, I've left three emails and a phone message (nobody picked up the phone on their end) and now I don't know what to think. I would hate to think I got canned on the first day for formatting! Content was fine.
I thought training was to work out the kinks...expecting all wouldn't be perfect, there is a learning curve. I'm so disheartened. Sorry for venting but maybe you all feel my pain.
First day blues
Oh honey, been there, done that!!! No feedback but lots of criticism...I'll bet when you were hired the company told you something like "we have wonderful QA process with lots of positive feedback, always available, etc. etc. etc..." Hope it gets better soon, otherwise, find new job. Too many companies out there to put up with crappy ones. Best of luck to you.
I am going thru the blues...sm
anyone else has just been so depressed lately? Every springtime I get that way. 
we will be singing the blues
They wont be crying the blues.they already have hired more than enough transcriptionists and from what I surmise, as my doctors now spell EVERYTHING, they hired newbies or not to swift MT's. What we need is a union, however, in the past the minute union is talked about, many MT's backtrack and say..they dont mind the decrease in pay, they like working out of their homes and dont want to change anything..yada, yada, yada..
New system blues
We recently had a computer upgrade at the hospital where I work and we are having multiple issues. We are using Word 2003 in conjunction with Dictaphone Enterprise Express. First, does anyone know how to load the medical dictionary into the spell checker so that it pulls words from that dictionary? The spell check is stopping on almost every medical word and driving us all crazy! Secondly, the command CTRL+shift+spacebar is not keeping words together like it used to on our old system. Anybody have any clues as to why? Also, if you create a macro it will work fine until you sign off of word client, and when you sign back on, its gone. Any help would be appreciated...it has been a long 2 weeks! TIA.
If everyone quits, the will be the ones crying the blues. NM

Post-pay period blues...
I simply cannot get motivated today! I always feel sluggish and lazy just after a pay period, especially on the first day of a new one. I worked so darn hard yesterday to have a decent paycheck that I'm, well, too pooped to punctuate! Anyone else have this malady?
I call what Eric has little dude blues!

I'll be honest.. my 1-year-old watches Blues Clues...sm
She is really good. My husband and I both work nights. She is 'on her own' for about 2 hours... watches 'Bluestock' - an 1.5 hour Blues Clues episode... plays a bit.. I take a break to get her ready for bed and get her in bed... and back to work. It's hard work but who can afford daycare on a transcription salary? I'd be working just to keep her in daycare!
Besides, I don't trust daycare providers and I'd rather her watch TV where I can see her than send her off and not know what is going on.
