I work part time at my daughter's college sm
book store, looking for something else to do besides MT, I am bored.
43/Married/1 daughter starting college in the fall.
/
My daughter just started college and her Eng. Lit. prof. required all of the sm
students to get one. Luckily I had one by Sandisk (I think that's the name) that I use when I'm on vaco and bring some of my work files when I have to work on another computer. They are easy to use. They are cheaper now than they used to be even a year ago. I saw one that has a 1 gig on sale for $20 this week. So, even though your teen's teacher wants them to have one now, your teen may still be able to use it for college work later. They are so small but the one I have has a cord, so you can wear it around your neck, instead of it getting lost in the bottom of a back pack or purse. The part that plugs into the computer can be retracted back into its case, so there isn't another cover that you have to keep track of.
I don't know if this helps, but if they have to use for college, it might not be a bad investment.
Thank you! Because she just completed...
an LPN course and is considering going on to finish for RN. If she was a PA she would be way beyond that point and totally unnecessary!! Now MAYBE he will finally hush about it! LOL 
Completed it. Thanks!!
Good luck  .
I just completed my first week of DQS and WOW (sm)
Thank goodness I had one week of Cottage to keep my line count a little above bankruptcy level. One day I typed ten reports like we used to do in batches and these were approximately the same type of reports I normally did. Later next day, checked line count and what would normally have been from 500-800 lines was 372. I was flabbergasted and it took me almost 3 hours to do this.
Another problem I have is the lack of feedback. I was trained, sent in a couple of sample documents and that was it. Even those where I requested QC check over I got no feedback on. I tried to call QA and was given voice mail and told someone would return my call in 24 hours. Not much help when you are in the middle of something.
I better quit complaining and see if I can eke out a few lines this morning.
I just completed my shift for the day and
I had an easy doc for most of my shift today and she does mammograms and so it is copy and paste and change the necessary material. I worked on Meditech once, and found it very cumbersome. My platform now is word based and I love it. I get an accurate line count daily.
How many MTs have a completed Bachelor's or higher currently?
nm
I promise I will once the survey is completed....sm
I don't want to influence the results in any way so the information will be unbiased and more meaningful.
Jay
Well, let's see 15 years ago I completed a transcription...SM
program. Not an "online" program. I actually went to a college and attended classes which include A&P I and II, Medical Terminology Greek and Latin, and Pharmacology in addition to a number of computer courses. That's in addition to my Bachelor's degree in English.
Then, of course, there is my 13 years experience as an MT before I decided to move into QA.
Completed COBRA recently-VLM
The following speaks of my personal experience with Cobra - Insurance premiums out-of-pocket for any reason are an expensive undertaking (they are also tax deductible if you meet deduction requirements). I was appreciative of having the option of Cobra because of my personal circumstances. If you are considering going without health insurance for any amount of time, I would suggest that you may be gambling with more than your health. One emergency surgery or health crisis not covered can cost you everything - I know because it happened to me. Hospitals and physicians are bound by no debt code - they will sue you and take your home, business, car, pots, pans and the shirt off your back if they can redeem a penny for it. They are not required to accept a payment plan. My hospital told me that an indefinite payment offered by me to start of $100 every 2 weeks to start was not worth their time and effort. A bit of trivia - I was employed by this same hospital for 10+ years.
COBRA guidelines are set by the Fed - all rules must be followed to the letter by all parties. My premium was 120% of what my original premium while employed with the company was. I went the entire 18 months during which my premium was raised once - without warning - if you fail to pay the premium exact to the penny, by the exact postmarked indicated date, you are terminated from the plan. I was nearly terminated with the premium increase which arrived in a separate envelope along with the premium notice. There are no exceptions to the rules governing Cobra - this works sometimes in your favor and sometimes in the ex-employer's favor. After the first premium increase, I called 1 time each month on the same day and asked if there was a premium increase - the point being don't take anything at face value when dealing with this issue.
These guidelines also direct what happens when your Cobra involvement ends or if you terminate it before the 18 months are finished - there are also exclusions which may make the amount of Cobra coverage available longer than 18 months. The day your Cobra ends, you have a set number of days to get involved with another plan - if you choose Cobra, make sure someone explains what happens when the plan ends, and if you are told "nothing" or "you are on your own," ask someone else who knows that they are talking about.
If you choose Cobra, you need to speak to whomever administers the plan - some companies hire a third party, others do not. Make sure you get all the facts.
There are obvious negatives but one thing is an absolute positive, if you meet all the guidelines each month and pay the correct premium on time, you will have continuation of your health coverage and time to plan for the future. My research led me to understand that I might find a cheaper interim plan, but I might just as easily lose that plan for any number of reasons, leaving me high and dry. I personally could not risk this. I saw an earlier comment about not letting coverage lapse and preexisting conditions - If there is a plan anywhere which does not have a preexisting clause of some type for every new enrollee, I would be very surprised. I talked to about 14 carriers over 6 months. Not having a lapse in coverage or not exceeding the cushion of days provided by Cobra between policies is most beneficial, I feel, when you are applying for new coverage on your own - Companies are much more receptive to someone who has existing coverage as opposed to someone without, for obvious reasons. However, this varies from ins co to ins so and you need to do your homework.
One last thing, I cannot speak for every state, but I called our State Insurance Commish - wonderful lady whose staff went way out of the way to make sure I was fully clear on what my Cobra rights were. These people were totally on my side! I highly recommend this phone call to anyone trying to get health insurance. The state is not allowed to recommend an insurance co; however, they do have ratings and data that you may find very helpful in choosing coverage.
I spent many, many hours learning about and personally experiencing this process - I hope you find something helpful here. Whatever happens, I wish you the best of luck!
you will be editing a completed ASR report vs typing

I've completed the survey & I hope all

Have my own ftp site for receiving wave files...return completed
reports to the doctor the same way... secure, safe, easy. I purchase the space from startlogic for $90 a year. Hope this helps!
if you purchase bytescribe/docshuttle, you can actually upload the completed work back on there. nm

I have a call in system and also use tapes. We send completed reports via encrypted email.
I use MPCount, which is a free line counting program that you can download and it works great.
candy
how bout Bonomo turkish taffy, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. De-lish.
Candy and gum
I'd have to say absolutely yes!!! Especially the candy clicking on the teeth. And just plain eating gets on my nerves. Guess they just don't realize that there is an actual person on the other end having to listen to this junk.
Oh, and cussing too. I absolutely hate it when they start cussing!
Paul is still eye candy, even in his 60s. nm

Halloween Candy

hard candy
A wise old pediatrician told me long ago if you like hard candy, buy Life Savers - there is a reason for the name of that candy, hole in the middle, lets you breathe if stuck in your throat he said. Hot tea and white bread will help those problems. I had a child inhale a chocolate small easter egg and I had to tip him upside down as heimlich did not work, and he spit it out. It is very scary and I hope you are okay. take care and buy some life savers............
Congrats. See's is the BEST candy.

YES, we have really enjoyed it too..
all of what you said, getting xtra time, not running around...schoool...extras but just seems liek today, they have had enough of being at home and they are ready to go back to schoool...
Just saw and enjoyed....
Rumor Has It with Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner. Some of the reviews on Netflix complained that it was predictable, but I didn't think it was. I thought it was good.
Watched Elizabethtown awhile ago and ended up scratching my head. I told my sister I had rented it and she said, "Did you get it? I didn't get it." Nope, didn't get it. Orlando Bloom is very easy on the eyes, but after you've said that...
I enjoyed seeing her, to each their own
but a lot of times when people are desperate, they will contact any and everyone they think could possibly assist them. I do not know the story of where she intervened on the Hornbeck family. I did not go to her meeting for any "guidance," far from it, I went just to hear her speak and she was really interesting. I have also seen that Edwards fellow, saw him in Vegas but he spent most of the time giving about 4 people out of the audience "readings." I did not care for him particularly. People like the family you spoke of will grasp at straws trying to find out information. Happens all the time. People with cancer will try measures off the chart in order to possibly find a cure for themselves, just happens. I take things like Sylvia with a grain of salt. I did like her message about toxic people. I firmly believe that.
I always dig in my son's candy for tootsie rolls! nm

Candy corn (see my post below) nm
zzzz
THANKS MTStars! The See's Candy tin arrived.
I cannot wait to dive into it!
I've got a candy sucker...
She just rattles that hard candy around clacking against her teeth and makes sucking sounds... Lovely! UGH!
I sure enjoyed the old days.
I started out 28 years ago transcribing for a transcription service, so have always been paid on a production basis. But we sure had fun in the office and we were appreciated for our hard work. Raises were annual. Benefits were as good as those offered by the hospitals. Christmas gifts were nice. The owners would come to town a few times a year and would actually speak to us and express appreciation for what we were doing. I worked with the best group of ladies. Sure do miss those days.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
A friend told me about it a few years ago...it helped me through some pretty trying times, & I still go there when I need a "shot in the arm", so to speak.
Have a great day
Glad you enjoyed them! sm
I've gotten a lot of feedback from those songs over the years. I actually performed some of them at the AAMT convention last year in Hawaii, they had a talent show and I won second place! It was a lot of fun, and the MTs in the audience certainly seemed to be able to relate!
Jay
Glad you enjoyed them! :o> (nm)

But, you enjoyed doing coding? Did you
find it more stressful than MT? Thanks for answering.
I imagine he enjoyed that

Poll: What is your favorite Halloween candy? s/m
I always get a craving for candy corn this time of year!
Sugar free candy suggestions? (sm)
My father-in-law is diabetic and we are visiting him tomorrow. I'd like to find him some yummy candy before I leave town. Wal-Mart is the closest store to the interstate that is 24-hour. Any suggestions for what I could find there? Thanks. 
hahahaha! So, you don't like my wart? Hey, I have about 10,000 candy corns here right now! No kid
nm
I could NEVER trust myself around 10,000 candy corn, or even 100! they'd be gone in no time
but I would lie and say your wart is very becoming on you....in return for maybe 10 candy corn and about 5 of those pumpkin things
Is he having regular BMs? Could he be getting into candy or some other kind of 'stash' that yo
s
Yeah, it was great. I really enjoyed sm
seeing it. She was so guarded and on edge. But she rarely does interviews or things where she doesn't have absolute control, so probably that factored in. She was definitely waiting for him to make fun of her, but I think he knows better now.
I loved when she expressed that now she does exactly what she wants to do. It is hard to fault her for the things she does with her time, and a huge portion of her money. Good woman.
Definitely enjoyed the "guys" last night sm
a lot more than the girls the night before! Chris rocked and so did Taylor. As for the girls... I really like Kelly, Paris and Katherine... that is going to be a hard choice.. Also Mandisa... However, I think this may be the year for the guys - Chris is going to be hard to beat!
Your kitty is a beauty! Enjoyed your
blog. Like the others, it made me appreciate what I have so much. Your "little corner of the world" where you work looks so much like mine. I, too, have my bird feeders and bird bath to look out at. I also have two kitties who are my "co-workers". Tip (angel in Thai), my ?-percent Siamese kitty is sleeping right next to my keyboard right now. Taz (yes, a little black and white devil) stepped away for a while. Sometimes I get so mad and hate transcription, but we really have to count our blessings. Working in the comfort and safety of our home with our animal pals and family close by is worth its weight in gold!!! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face, MTBlab. 
Glad to see you enjoyed the recipe...
Hope it turned out good for you too...
Brooke is there for the guys. Eye candy like Dave Navarro.
Although I must admit Dave adds a lot more to the show than Brooke, I do understand why she is there. Something for everybody to draw a crowd.
Milk chocolate. Forget the rest of the candy.
I like most of the mini chocolate bars, but especially Butterfinger, KitKat, and Mr. Goodbar.
I've seen people put a sign up that says "OUT OF CANDY"
and that usually does the trick.
I hear mine suck hard candy all day. LOL sm
He's also done a few of those breathier burps. Yuck You'd think with his ability to edit over the dictation, he'd want to get rid of them, or at least say excuse me. LOL
CONGRATULATIONS! Patricia B. of Beaver, PA on winning the See's Candy Tin!

I thought it was just awful. But I'm glad you enjoyed it :).
