Thanks for sharing...I loved hearing about your home...
and pictured it in my mind. You responded to a question and unfortunately there are people out there who just don't get it. Sorry for them. Wish I could spend a week there to see the sunrise on the water!!! Enjoy every minute and thanks for sharing!!
chuckle
I used to laugh and think people were wackos until it happened to me while working in a bank. One other time was five years after my father died. I never cried but missed horribly. I was his "little girl." Five years later marriage was in the toilet and I awoke one night and saw him at the foot of my bed, never said a word, but I went back to sleep. I felt so much better in the morning, but I think that was because I was in such despair and needed him so much that I wanted to see him.
had to chuckle!
When I read your post, I had to chuckle because even though I do visit this site and I'm pro-AAMT, I'm in the minority. I think that the reason why you see so much AAMT bashing is because most of the people on these kinds of sites do tend to complain about this, that, and everything with regards to this profession. In other words, I don't see a whole lot of positive about anything! I think the movers and shakers are out there doing their thing, trying to make a DIFFERENCE, and not wasting time posting on chat boards and thus why you don't see a lot of people jumping to defend AAMT here. Again, just my humble opinion from an old MT.
Thanks--got a chuckle about this--
7-year meeting, huh? 
Needed a laugh, too. I just went by to drop off/pick up work, 10-12 miles one way, and the office is closed. OM told me someone would be there until noon, even though they are closed on Fri afternoons! Received no notice they were closing early today. To clarify, I did work there as an employee until November 30 and been at home since then. I guess I am a pushover--I've always tried to be cooperative and "nice" until I have a reason not to be. Also, I don't have any other options right now. However, I am going to present a short contract--I don't have any hope that it will be received very well, but I should stand up for myself, especially in the light of today's inconvenience. Appreciate it--
Thanks for the chuckle!
You have no idea how funny that was to me. THANKS.
I hear people really tormented about trying to get down the impossible. You are exactly right.
:Blood out of turnip" is priceless!
Now back to the mind-nunbing ....
LOL! That was cute. Thanks for the chuckle.
ROFL! Thanks for the chuckle.
I needed it today.
Thanks to all... I did manage a chuckle or two
from your stories. But why does it have to be like this? Just because we work at home? I think I will go on strike. Just keep my office clean since that is the only place I get to be these days. I have a reprieve from my second job tonight so I think I will just close my eyes, close my ears and shut off all other senses to the slobs I live with and leave for night for my women's group party I did not plan to go to. Thank to all.
Re: Zero Samantha...I know, I got a chuckle out of that too..I must
be more boring than I thought!!
That episode was a hoot! I loved it when she used the uh...new neck massager...in Brady's vibrating chair after it broke when she went to watch him while Miranda got her hair done...LOL!!
It did make me chuckle, though! nm

Chuckle, okay, now thanks for the support!
These posts are scary, are they not? I am now disinterested in this line of posts as there is nothing productive going on...just more complaints and whining about how awful MTs are and how high and mighty many QA people think they are.
Enjoy the air up there...and remember to have pity on us low-lifes once in a while because we are just too inane to know anything other than what you would tell us...
Dictation chuckle
"Her vision is poor. That is why she does not see well." Really! That's what he said!
These are making me chuckle
I had a PA who would give us his name (he was Iranian), spell it, give his name and spell it again and then go on to the patient's name. He'd spell that and give it to us three times. Then he's give us the medical record number. Something like this: "MR # 123456. That's 123456. Again, that's 123456." His dictations were office notes - for the other PAs those ran in the 3 minute range. His were 7 or more because he repeated everything at least twice and sometimes three times. We weren't sad when he left the practice to go work for the university teaching hospital.
Just trying to give U a chuckle in your time of

more than a chuckle, a real smile -
I've been smiling for half an hour now (since you said it was just a line and not an insult). Thanks and have a good day.
this sentence by an ESL made me chuckle...
The patient is 69-years-old and has 6 children so far.
(so far!!)
This article was worth a chuckle
First laugh, GREAT side jobs. Mor sobering: Avg. 13.78 per hour. Sad: Pays less than a dog walker. Arghhh!

gross (no message) did make me chuckle

When I opened your message to read it, I saw something that made me chuckle. SM
At the top of the page, there was an ad defining Alzheimer's disease (with an apostrophe) from alzheimersconcern.com. We're probably the only one's following this new guideline. I wonder how many people read these apostropheless terms we are now mandated to transcribe and actually do think we're nuts. Even if it is correct, and I do understand the reasoning behind leaving the apostrophe off, it still doesn't help our image any, at least in my opinion. Just a thought.
Got my chuckle for the night, doc talking about breath sounds - sm
and how the lungs were clear, etc. then the next sentence is "the patient is currently not breathing", just funny after the previous sentences on his lung sounds. Also diagnosed at age 2, however the child is only 14 months old, hmmm, nice trick there! Presume he means 2-months but will have to question it though since he did not say!
Funny! Thanks for the chuckle! I was like, "Whoa, poor thing, started young"!!
You scared me!!!
Your error made me chuckle, which is, ya know, fitting for the error. Not a big deal, and no we ALL
make mistakes! Heavens! I remember starting out, I actually typed CABBAGE! Can you imagine? Scary thing, though, is when you get an MT out 10 years and they type cabbage. There are errors like yours, and there are major-absolutely-no-clue-of-our profession errors, which are mind boggling when you see them in print. I've been on both sides, typing and proofing, and I never dreamed of the quantity and quality of errors some MTs make - HUGE errors. That said, yes, we all make them, but its the ones who are unlearned and then arrogant when you point out the error - we have to, ya know, and its done kindly, so that they learn, and still that type of MT flips out and has a hissy! No win situation for both parties, really, as the MT really can't grow in the field if they aren't accountable to themselves even for their work. I can't give more specific examples, as I could potentially hurt some MTs who would recognize their errors, but I assure you, some are unbelievable.
Thanks for sharing... sm
I have friends just starting out in MT (many still in school), and I think this is valuable information for them. I've said the same thing to them all, that if you take this as seriously as you would any job you were doing in an office, devote your work time and attention to it, and do what is asked of you while trying to improve yourself, you will be able to succeed. I have only been doing transcription for a few years, but I can see that I will be here for probably as long as transcription is around.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom...
Thanks for sharing

Yes...That's it! Thanks for sharing what you know. nm
:)
WOW! Thanks for sharing!
I've been trying to build up my Google search links on surgical and radiology sites because I find it easier to Google than to flip through all my books. That one about covers it all! Thanks again!
Thank you so much for sharing this
:-)
Thanks for sharing...
It appears that I am not alone then IF this is truly the cause of my symptoms. I have only been off of Nexium for three days and haven't noticed a significant difference but I know it may just take some more time to get back to where I use to be as I had been on Nexium since the first part of January and I have been terribly sick for several months.
The doctors have all ruled out just about everything they can think of so won't it be ironic if Nexium is the cause of my sickness after ALL the testing I have gone through?!? I don't care, as long as I get my health back. :)

I think it would be best not to talk to the woman, because it would just escalate the tension and might get out of hand.
Just let your kids continue to play with them, and when the other kids ask you or your kids for anything, other than a drink of water, just politely remind them that your family has a policy against that.
However, I myself would probably invite them to share Kool-Aid or popsicles with my kids once or twice a week, invite them in for games and toys.
In my entire childhood and teen years, the only thing I ever borrowed from a friend or neighbor were Nancy Drew books, which I always returned as soon as I finished reading them.
We were taught not to ask for things from people, but I realize times have changed. Some kids are still taught that, but many are not.
thanks so much for sharing
I'm adding it to my favorites!
Thank you for sharing!
As tears roll down my face and I sit here sobbing, I want to thank you for sharing this story.
Believe me, since my brother's recent passing (my only sibling) a few months ago, my life was really put into perspective and my goal is to let everyone I know how they have touched my life and how much I love them.
Even my Dad told me he loved for the second time that I remember in my whole life just a few months ago. Now, we both say it every time we see each other or speak to each other. That is a most precious gift to me. While my family was never affectionate, I knew they loved me and my mom & I were always close and said that to each other but having my Dad say this, well, I just can't describe the feelings. I really don't think he thought of saying it to tell you the truth, that he didn't realize it was so important for me to hear it until I got so sick, and I told him about how I only recalled him telling me he loved me once (before he had open heart surgery and was being wheeled to surgery). I guess it just goes to show that people can change and do change - even at the age of 76! :D I love you too Daddy!
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for taking the time to share what experiences you have encountered with those with PKD. It really helps for me to hear what others have gone through and have more of an idea of what to expect.
Believe me I have been reading a lot and I think I have a pretty good basic understanding of it all and what to expect but still hearing or knowing of what others have experienced puts things in a different perspective I think too. I know each course is going to be very individual as everyone is different.
Before I was even found to have the PKD, despite my labs being quite normal except for a couple values, I was so deathly ill and I "knew" I was dying. I was so desperate in finding help. My family saw me wasting away and felt I had little time left until I stopped some of my Rx meds on my own out of desperation and the nausea subsided where I could eat again. It was the most horrible thing I endured for that long of a time. This leads me to believe that the laboratory values are not the end all and that I may be just more sensitive than some and now maybe I can convince the doctors to take me more seriously. When they didn't know yet what was wrong, of course, as a last resort they thought depression. :( I was not depressed (upset, angry, frustrated-YES!) I am a very positive, happy-go-lucky type of person, and that is just my nature but when you are too ill to eat only about 400-500 calories a day for many days for weeks, it takes it toll quickly.I LOVE to eat and I was not anorexic by choice, let me tell you. :)
Again, thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing, I was one of those
who thought MySpace was just for teens to post X-rated pictures and pick up people. I may just look into it, it sounds like a good way to keep in touch. Is there a IM or chat, also? Or just blogs? Does everyone have to join to see your info or nonmembers can see it too? Thanks! :)
Thanks for sharing with us...
It sounds so beatiful and peaceful!! I'm glad you described it for us. I know I enjoyed reading all about it! Just wanted to say, also, that I have often taken note of your posts and how you seem to have a real handle on life and your business and MT. I get the impression that you have had some adversity in life to deal with and have been a strong enough person to come out on top. It's nice to hear that sometimes there is a silver lining somewhere if only a person knows where and how to look for it! Enjoy!!
LOL!! thanks for sharing! nm

Thanks for sharing that with everyone! (sm)
At first I thought you were going to say the person you wrote to brushed you off. Anyway, your post has renewed my resolve to keep bringing this issue to the attention of the public. I think the 60 Minutes TV show should seriously consider doing a story about the subject of offshored medical records, not only for the obvious reason of identity theft and loss of confidentiality, but also to bring to light that it has taken an entire white collar profession in this country from self-sufficiency to food stamps in just a few years.
Wow! ... Thanks for sharing this with us ...
and congratulations on your well-deserved success ...
Thank you so much for sharing your
experience! Now I feel much more comfortable taking the plunge and calling them. This will be great to not have to count my minutes anymore!
Thanks for sharing that....
Until I had my granddaughter (3 years old) I would not have been able to relate to this LOL We watch this show often and I actually find myself getting into the show and plot, even if she falls asleep!
thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing sm
There is an old saying, "Where there's a will, there's a way." You were very gracious to share, I hope it helps someone else. We MT's are very industrious. Thanks again! You are probably saving yourself from a DVT, just make sure you get up and walk once in awhile.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
I understand that unemployment wages are based on last quarter of earning and in this job, production has falled as the transition has taken place.
With regard to applying for jobs while on UI (unemployment insurance), is is correct that if a job comparable to the one laid off from is not available, a person does not have to take the job? In other works, I am FT with ins and top tier so I would want to move into a job similar and if unable to, collect UI until I do find one?
This sucks but I agree with the semi-paid summer off. The stress of this job has done a number on me and I could use some sleep. Downgrading my lifestyle will be necessary, of course, and a room mate.
Thank you for sharing....
I found the article very interesting.

WoW - thanks for sharing
Good resource.
I LOVED IT. . . .
And had to forward it to all my "crabby" friends.
I loved my cat too and still do
I had to put my 18-plus year old cat to sleep 2 months ago. She was with me since she was born. She had end-stage renal failure and for a year I had to give her three times weekly infusions of Ringer's. She was actually really healthy right up until the end though and used to boss the other 2 youngsters around. I miss her every day. She went with me back and forth across the country. I know exactgly how you feel.
I did and loved it - sm
She came every other week and charged $15 and hour. She would spend 4 hours and she was a white tornado in those 4 hours let me tell you. I loved, loved, loved having her.
Unfortunately, i had to let her go when i moved into rehabbers paradise. No sense in paying someone to fight a losing battle until rehabbing is over say in about 10 years :(
We did that too, my 2 loved it too! - nm

My mom loved them and had many of them -nm
throughout the years, so I grew up with them. They are nice, though I put my hair in a pony tail so I can see. Started out with an old Plymouth in the 60s and ended with a 2003 BMW Z4 (very nice). They only time it was a drag was in an unexpected rain storm, though now you just push a button and the top goes back on....until her corvette (1 car before the BMW) we had to do it manually, so stop the car, pull up the top, lock, etc. Also in the summer, very hot seats...carry towels so you don't scald off the skin on the back of your thighs, butt and back, though cloth seats would help with that problem, and obviously don't leave anything in the car you wouldn't mind losing (i.e. stolen or blown away). They are fun though, I hope to get one myself one day but content myself with driving with all the windows down now. Have fun shopping.
