what absolutely drives me insane..
commas! I would like to tell the people who type for TV station "crawls" to PLEASE put a comma after the state name when city and state names are used in a sentence. As in Tulsa, Oklahoma, blah, blah, blah. Also NO comma between month and year, PLEASE! That absolutely drives me up a wall!!! Somebody please tell them! I know, I know.... crazy is not a long drive for me. lol
It is insane. What is more insane is the
lady responsible for this is justifying it. I recall a woman who managed apartments I lived in over 20 years ago. At the age of 60, she was diagnosed with late stage breast CA and rapidly succumbed but what hurt her more than anything is that her doctor failed to recommend she have a mammogram. It was simply forgotten about, an oversight. And when she finally did get one, it was far too late; her last months on earth were hell. And you know, she said he never spoke of it to her, never addressed it, never apologized.
Maybe that is why this is important. When you go to diagnostic imaging studies in the patient's chart (in the doctor's office), he will be able to see the mammogram and conclude the patient is up to date on this study.
What this amounts to is a little inner circle of power, where three women are covering each others' backs and believing they are more important than they are, chatting a good deal longer than one would expect in a work place, covering each other when one is tardy or needs to leave the work place for whatever reason and then making the rest of us miserable with their cliquish behavior and critiquing our work. I always thought to myself that when a person stands on a roof top and announces to the world every little thing another employee does, it is to shine the spotlight on someone else and take any attention off them.
That is insane
Especially if you are part-time. There are hundreds of jobs out there, and 99.9% of them have to be better than this one. Get your resume OUT THERE, girl!
this is insane
Thanks for all the help, you guys. I checked on coverage for Sprint Aircard and that's not available to me either. I do believe I can get Dish network internet, but most of the job ads I see call for cable or DSL and specifically mention that satellite won't work.
This is just insanely frustrating. I have 20+ years of acute care experience, am ready, willing and able to work starting today, and can't get a job because I'm on dial-up.
This person really is insane!

This is just way to insane. Hunters beware. sm
Our "esteemed" governor has just passed on something new for deer hunters. I am not a hunter and neither are any people on my side of the family or my husband's side. However, Maine is just plum full of avid deer hunters. The deer hunting season runs from the end of October through the weekend after Thanksgiving for firearms (bow and arrow hunting starts a month earlier).
Over a decade ago, because of the supposed "dwindling deer population" Maine adopted a "bucks only" law where hunters could only shoot male deer with an antler length of 4 inches or more, but were not allowed to shoot females.
Now wait, this gets better. . . .
A few years back, the grand old State of Maine began to hold a "lottery," so to speak, to issue "Any Deer Permits" for hunters so that they can shoot female deer or not have to determine antler length for whatever deer they happen to get within shooting range of. This "Any Deer Permit" system is only the "luck" of the draw.
Now here is the new and wonderful thing that our governor just passed, and I am NOT kidding:
Any deer hunter that reaches the age of 100 (yes 100) can shoot at any deer without possessing an "Any Deer Permit."
100 years old in the woods with a firearm? Now THAT is a comforting thought.
ENFP, no wonder this makes me insane.
This is trivial but driving me insane
I saw Matt Lauer named his new son Thijs. Does anyone know how this is pronounced? I can only think of "thigs" (rhymes with figs) and that just seems too weird to name anyone.
insane line rates
I got a pay quote yesterday from a company that starts you out at 6/cpl and maxes out at 9/cpl after much time has passed and many hoops have been jumped through.
That's insanity! How are we supposed to feed our kids?
Clickety-clacks driving me insane!
I need helping deciding...I'm looking for a keyboard that feels like a laptap's keys do. I hate the clickety-clack sound! Sometimes it's so loud I've got to turn my volume up on my headphones! 
I've been looking at "quiet" keyboards but they still make too much noise for me. Someone suggested a gaming keyboard one time but I have no use for all those extra function buttons and LCD screens, so why pay ($100+) for something I'm never going to use??!!
I've been looking at Macally's IceKey and from what I've read, even though it's made for Mac's you can still use it on a PC (just the volume controls on the keyboard won't work, no biggie to me). The only thing (and this is a big thing) that's keeping me from buying this one is that it's USB.
I don't have anymore USB ports available on my PC!
Does anyone know of a keyboard similar to the IceKey but is PS/2? Or perhaps can I just use an adapter with it?
If anyone knows, or can suggest another keyboard, please help me out.
Personally, when I first saw that post I thought that idea was insane. I still do! nm

OMG this is insane....you guys need to get out and enjoy yourselves..reality tv taking over

What drives me nuts is
EVOO. I do not like that at all.
She says EVOO then says extra virgin olive oil????
It also drives me crazy when...
my kids send me e-mails with absolutely nothing capitalized and everything spelled phonetically. 
have to say really drives me crazy too
but when I used to do work for docs I knew more personally brought a smile to my face when one night the doc said "and for your listening pleasure my daughter Lilly on the piano" and she played a few bars of something (she was about 5 at the time) at the end of his dictation.
Drives me crazy
I have a new doc today and he says that he has a ton of reports to read, so to make it easier (I'm not sure for whom) he says NOT to type articles (is, are, of, etc.). It is actually HARDER for me not to type these words in than it would be to add them! It's making me nuts looking at these choppy reports. They should just be doctors and let us do our job!
THIS DRIVES ME NUTS
why are we so concerned with sending work overseas??
This nation is so concerned with fixing problems everywhere else in the world and not focusing on our own!
Why do we constantly send work, money, military, etc etc etc overseas when we have homeless, starving, children (and adults!) here in the USA? We have students who can't go to college because they can't afford it and the federal government won't help because they are not a minority! We have people who can't get jobs for the same reason!
How about this?! Why don't we stop looking at race, background, and gender, and start looking at qualifications? Why don't we stop judging what people need based on color?
But i'm getting off track...
This country has a serious issue, and it starts with companies like AHDI. Rather than lobby for "a standard" they need to lobby for our work staying right here. When there is such an over abundance of work here that no one goes hungry and everyone has a roof over there head, then we can send it over there. I know there is such a romanticism about helping foreign areas. We see it everywhere. Celebrities adopting foreign children, missionaries wanting to go to China but not bothering to minister to people in their own back yard. Yes, we need to help, but we need to take care of our own also!
There is something wrong when a basketball player makes millions and a teacher barely can get by on his or her salary. What kind of country have we become? We place more value on entertainment then on morals and education.
When will it stop? We are going to dig ourselves in to such a hole and we are going to pull down all of our greed, immorality, conceitedness and every other vile thing we have become down on our heads!
I'm sorry I just don't understand what is so great about our country anymore. It seems we've got it pretty twisted. It won't be long before we start to reap what we sow. And I promise you, in the healthcare world, if all of our transcription goes overseas, and the documentation process becomes sub par, next thing you know the lawsuits will quadruple, which will raise the cost of healthcare, which will mean absolutely no healthcare for some, and so on and so on.
But hey, all in pursuit of the almighty dollar, right???
That totally drives me nuts....
they just keep talking right on through the yawn as if we can even remotely begin to understand what they are saying. Sheesh!
Thank you for clarifying. Drives me nuts
when people just read the first 2-3 lines and think they have the story. Although, sadly in the end would agree that he probably would not be the best motivational speaker - but I would have said that before his probs began - he just does not seem right for that kind of organization - but those are my personal feelings only. Thanks again
Today's hard drives...(sm)
...are perfectly adequate to hold not only a couple of hundred, but many times that without impacting computer performance.
Yes, we swapped cars. DH drives my 4 cyl his 13 mi to work and I keep

Absoluuuuuuutely abSOfreakinglutely drives me nuts.

Yes, "myself" drives me nuts as well as "further" for sm
"farther" and "anxiousness" instead of "anxiety." TV newscasters are really getting bad. They're adding "ous" to everything!
leave them right there, no matter how much it drives you nuts!
I did this for a week with my husband. Pretty soon his stuff was all over the house and come one Monday morning he about had a stroke trying to put together something to wear. Guess what? After that he started putting his things away like a "big boy" because mommy was not there to help him all the time. This is what my MIL should have done when he was living at home, not catering to his every need and constantly "helping him"!!!
and the doc spells "orientated." drives me nuts.

I have a new female dictator who just drives me nuts.
She speeds through the entire physical exam in less than 10 seconds. She gets going really fast and doesn't swallow, so I can hear her spitting all over while she talks! If she can't be bothered to slow down and enunciate so that she can be understood, she deserves to have blanks in her reports. It's not auctioneer school, lady!
How true, I have one very crappy doc that drives me nuts, just got done 10 minutes of him that is-sm
riddled with blanks. I go through it once more, then the office mgr goes through it and fills in what I cannot get. We have an understanding that I do what I can then send it in luckily on him. It is an all-around non-money making account....I waste my time, she wastes her time then the owner proofs it. This doctor even has horrible residents who dictate for him. If there was not so much background noise I would do a lot better but they somehow manage to find the most horrible place to do their dictation and go to town with it........surprised I still have hair left. I told them that if we continue to do this guy (the doctor had decided to stop using the service but changed their mind recently) that I should be paid double (I get the bulk of this twit) and they should charge more to do him due to all the heck he puts us through. ------Can't wait to see what happens with that one!
I just said hello to "the paper boy." He is about 50, drives a nice car and seems happy.

My hubby drives a long distance truck
thank goodness! He says the trucking business in dire need of truckers. Bet we don’t see folks punching those in.
You undercut yourself, which drives prices down industry-wide. sm
For a hospital, NEVER go under $0.16 per line to start. Most will want to negotiate and the lowest should be 0.14 per line.
A KVM switch will let you use 2 different hard drives on the same monitor. Saves much space
Check out KVM switch. I used my hospital computer provided to me when I first started with MQ. I used the KVM switch and that way I didn't have to invest in a monitor right off the bat. All I needed was a hard drive to dump the MQ program into. Then I could switch back and forth from one hard drive to the other. I don't know if this is what you are looking for but just thought I'd add this here as it has saved me much money and space.
Thank god for crock pots. 'cept the smell drives you crazy all day.
.
I am right there with you. It drives me crazy. A typo in a casual e-mail is one thing... sm
But work e-mails full of spelling and grammar mistakes, punctuation mistakes, capitalization errors... I see it and I can't help but think the person sending the e-mail is uneducated.
And I don't want to go into details, but my supervisor (I work for a national co.) is almost illiterate. I get long, rambling e-mails that have phrases and words that make no sense! I have no idea what this person means sometimes. It's so bad, I'm starting to think maybe he/she is dyslexic, which is sad, but I wonder how you get a job as an MT supervisor when you can't communicate effectively? (Over the phone is no better!) My gosh.
