But at least nobody can puke on you thru your
monitor!!  My husband and I were just discussing our old bartending days yesterday! We're in our 40's now, and probably would only get hired in some sleazy shots-n-beer bar, but back in the good old days - we rakes in the $$ literally hand over fist! We made awesome $$$ - hours were great - though we did have a lot of back-stabbing and stealing from fellow bartenders! But for the most part, it was GREAT!! Ah, I never thought I'd be talking about the good old days...
Has anyone seen the commercial
where the snowman is eating soup at the table, and the snow melts off him, and it is a little boy? Love that commercial.
It it was a commercial
flight then possibly. It's also possible though that it was a private plane. My oncology practice has 4 clinics in outlying areas of the state and the husband of the CEO flies the docs around in his plane.
lamisil commercial
I'm with you "sm", that Lamisil commercial with the toenail lifting gives me the heebie-jeebies!! It reminds me of when you have a long fingernail and you bang it against something and it bends backwards -- you know, that really freaky feeling....that's what the Lamisil commercial does to me, ouch!
have you seen the nextel commercial?
My son laughs uncontrollably every time this commercial comes on. So funny!

I saw a commercial last night for Tax Cut
if I am remembering correctly. If it is made by H&R block, then that is the one. It said that if you ever get audited that their representatives with help you through the process if you used that system. Seems like a good benefit to have. Maybe there is some small print to that, but worth checking into. My accountant guarantees to represent you if you get audited too.
Got commercial account
I have Comcast (simply because they're the only provider I can get here) and I had to go to a commercial account because my service kept getting interrupted and it would take them 2-3 days to do anything about it. A commercial account is costing me $100 a month but they have to deal with any problems I have within 24 hours, so its well worth it considering the money I lost waiting for techs to come out when I was residential. They never said anything about usage on either account though; their philosophy seems to be that anything residential is frivolous (being used for entertainment purposes) and can wait. So my advice is to go commercial - its the only way you'll get any respect at Comcast!
I had to get a commercial account
Its more expensive, but they have to guarantee 24 hour problem solution (or at least that a tech will put me at the head of the visit list). I haven't had any grief with them now for about 6 months, and I finally have a second option now (AT&T), so at least now I can dump them if things get bad with them again.
Help. Can anyone tell me what the song is on the commercial on tv where the guy is driving across
the US to San Francisco for a cell phone commercial and he pulls up in front of his girlfriends house in SF and calls her on the cell phone and she comes to the door and there he sits in his car. It is the cell phone commercial for the cell phone with the bars on it. This is driving me nuts. I cannot remember the name of that oldie song.
Disgusting commercial, huh?! Hahaha
I use Brawny paper towels and Lysol Kitchen spray on counters and appliances. I use plastic scrubbies on the sink and anything I need to scrub up before the dishwasher and the put the scrubbie in the dishwasher as well. I spray Lysol on the sink and faucets before I go to bed.
I started this when I saw Oprah's show on women who horde and won't clean/throw away anything. The experts she had on the show had checked one woman's kitchen sink for bacteria and compared it to her commode and the commode was cleaner! I about fell over. I have dishcloths and dishtowels but they are washed after every single use! Ewwwwww!
And convenient. Just like the commercial says ' Some families

Here are the best 2 non-commercial links for bariatric
www.wlsforum.org
www.obesityhelp.com
Lots of information out there. Good luck on your research.
Yes, I would suggest using a commercial expander sm
Like ShortHand or Instant Text. They will increase your productivity tremendously.
As for the buckling down and just getting to work, well, as soon as you realize the secret to that, be sure and share it with the rest of us! If I knew the answer to that, I would not be sitting here on MTStars at 10:03 replying to your message, I would be cranking out the lines!! :)
I saw this great commercial last night in which
there were children playing and then all of a sudden one little girl started ranting on the others, saying something about awful pimples the other child has, etc... and then at the end of the commercial it said never say anything in an e mail you wouldn't say in person....It is a hard lesson but it is true. Another way my 8 year old put it: Ask yourself, is what you said something that should have stayed in your head? I ask myself this every day whether speaking or e mailing or posting, and it really helps.
That Pepto-Bismol Commercial song!
I now know who actually sings on that Pepto-Bismol commercial - "Upset stomach, diarrhea, -- YEAAAAAAA" It's the doctors I transcribe for!
Yeah, could you imagine if we made a work at home commercial
that was truthful? Instead of the serenely peaceful scene with the children playing quietly at your feet while you made $50,000 a year, there would be toys flying everywhere, kids jumping on the furniture, the dog yacking on the carpet, neighbors banging on the door, the phone ringing off the hook, laundy piled up to the ceiling, and a husband whining about something or another.
too true. Spring break is somekind of commercial myth anyway,
Awesome! Here, a local computer repair shop has a similar commercial. Its really funny. nm

I love the Sprint commercial where Donnie Osman is talking to Sprint guy
and says now he can call all his relatives so on and so on and Tito. Then Sprint guy says Donnie doesn't have a Tito in his family. So funny. A play on Michael Jackson's family. I love the Sprint guy anyway.
How about the Brawny commercial where the guy looks like he has a roll of Brawny in his pants?

Makes me wonder
I've heard how many times that children that are mean to animals are being mistreated in some way. After hearing how this little girl (at only 10 years) is so brutal, makes me wonder how she is being treated by the adults in her life.
I think they do it because it makes you
pay attention to them - you cannot just continue working without at least talking (yelling, touching them to move them) to them. At this time, they are seeking any type of attention, even if it is negative. Same with cats flopping out on my keyboard.
That's what makes me so
1/cent for no reason....I'm telling you the CHECK is fulfilling
some legal purpose. Please run this past an attorney again.
I will try to call Drew, Eckl et all on Monday myself too.
What makes you think
that Zipper. We all LOVE YOU.
You have such a wonderful personality. You bring such warmth and compassion to the board.
makes you wonder...
what happened to the 3 martini lunch?

Nobody makes that in this biz

that makes 2 of us! sm
Just about a week ago it was 80 degrees and now it is winter all over again. Kinda nice since I don't have to go out tonight though. Just stay warm and dry at the computer.
doc makes me so mad.....
I have a 24-48 hour TAT contracted with 7 docs. 90% of their work is returned in 24. One of them constantly wants rush jobs, sometimes asking before they've even sent me the work! Then always had to do him first. Since each doc's dictation comes at different times, I now have to stop what I'm doing and get his done the minute it comes through. I just think he's such a demanding jerk!!
She makes that much just as an LPN? What
state is this in, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks!
Yes, it makes since as that is what
You can use Ctrl + Shift + hyphen and Ctrl + Shift + Space for the hard hyphen and hard space. If your work platform has overwritten these Word settings you can reassign keys for them. Both commands worked for me in the beginning but IS did some sort of upgrade on my work computer which disabled my hard hyphen (Ctrl + Shift + hyphen). I tried reassigning it back but no go, so I reassigned Ctrl + H. Works like a charm plus saves me from hitting the extra key. I know you can ESP words with hard hyphens. I don't remember if I tried with the hard space or not (oldtimers!!). I'll have to try tomorrow at work because my interest has been piqued. For the hyphen, I highlight the words with the hard hyphen, hit Crtl + Ctrl for the ESP box to come up, and then give it a short. I'm going to try this with the hard space tomorrow to see if it works.
Why is it that you think being an IC makes - sm
you a better transcriber than anyone else on this board? It isn't WHO you work for that makes you worth more than pocket-change, it's how WELL you work.
If she indeed makes anywhere near that, (sm)
it would have to be pulling up multiple-page templates, and typing in the patient's name, over and over and over. Not straight dictation on so many different docs and hospitals that there's no hope of having templates for them.
Okay, when I do that, it makes
the whole thing (cm2) superscript. What am I doing wrong?
Makes you want to
Makes you want to barf in your hand - Ha!
What makes you think we pay OS MTs more?
OS = offshore
Makes me want to cry!
You know, people........ it just makes me want to cry out loud! I am getting more angry as we speak.. you have all heard from me before about this business, but I'm going to be VERY frank and spill my guts right here in front of you and the whole MT world, hoping that someone who is in the right position will read it and HAVE THE GUTS to make a stance. (Can you say "hospital board of directors?") This is something that AAMT (or whatever the daylights they are now) should be doing for us. It's about time these "high and mighty" doctors listen up!
We are a family of hard-working people who practically have to become doctors just to transcribe these stinking reports. I don't know about all of you, but I DON'T MAKE A DOCTORS' SALARY! I truly believe that all of you as well as myself try every day like the devil to do the very best we can to participate in patient care and earn a decent living, but as I have said a million times if not more, it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE and at this time, there ARE NO ANSWERS TO ALL THIS CHAOS....
Actually, I take that back... there are a couple answers..We are all reprimanded for the incompetence of the doctors. THEY ARE NOT GODS as they would like to believe they are. They put on and take off their pants just like we do and when the he _ _ are they going to take some responsibility? I, for one, am NOT afraid of them and if I had the chance to do it over again working "in-house", I would have the guts to tell them how bad they are right down to their burping, farting, yawning, chewing, mumbling, whispering, non-English speaking two-sided faces. Let us not forget the 50 second operative note that should have been dictated clearly in 10 minutes. Yes, they're busy, but the bottom line on this issue is that they don't want to do a surgery and BE TOLD to go and tell someone about it, so they dictate like their hair is on FIRE. IT JUST MAKES ME SICK. It's part of THEIR JOB. If they don't do a good job, how the sh _ _ do they expect us to do a good job!
Let us not forget QA.... We are punished and yelled at for leaving blanks........DUH! and I just hate the thought of a QA person (whose quality of work I don't even know), making corrections to my work - and don't tell me that at times, they are guessing... AND WHOSE NAME IS ON THE REPORT - OURS !!!!!!!!!! In the end, if there was a lawsuit, we'd most likely be the ones to have to answer to THEIR blunders. I would rather make my own mistakes and have to answer for them than have one or two opinionated QA people telling me what I did wrong... one telling you one way to do something and another telling you a different way. I say, "leave the stinking blanks and let these JERKS" remember whose country they are living in.
BOTTOM LINE.......... Make the doctors more responsible... after all, they want to get paid and couldn't without us. I say, "stand up and be heard", tell them to get with the program and most of all, SPEAK DISTINCT AND PROPER ENGLISH!! THIS IS AMERICA, NOT PAKISTAN.
Please don't get me wrong. I love what I do and for the right dictating physician (s), it is a gratifying experience. Something has GOT to change. Thanks for listening... we're all in it together. We need some mercy... it's a thankless job  and  !
Someone makes those new now...sm
www.pckeyboard.com its the customizer 101, listed in the unicomp keyboard section. They are $70, but they make them in USB and have a very good warranty.
I don't work there or anything, I just use them.
Wow, really makes you wonder what they - sm
were charging, a dollar a line????
Makes you want to say to such a doc
I don't know. You tell me ... what's a rectalectomy?
I would so love to type the way they actually dictate. I think MTSOs should provide each dictator with a sample of this every few months or so (just as an extra sample) to remind them they really should be more careful.
Even just the way they run sentences together and say is and has exactly the same. Those 2 little things alone are a hassle for us and could be so easily a nonissue.
Okay, I guess I'm going down a different road here. Sorry. :)
Thank you so much. That makes me feel better.
Here's hoping things go smoothly. :)
we are definitely overpopulated and that makes
I live about three blocks from my school, it takes almost a half hour to get there with the traffic, not only in the school to park, but getting backed up and having to sit through two or three traffic lights due to the rush hour. Rush hour is all day and night here. Hate it.
what makes you think it will affect us?
What, CEO makes 350,000/year??
that is almost sickening...and what is worse, we are in this mindset that we are supposed to by happy for them, that they should not have to 'share it' with us, and we should be just happy to have jobs and shut up!
I started to hear that in the hospital setting, about 10 years ago, 'just be lucky to have a job.' I used to think back then, well, why, what if I did not have a job...I would be on social services or unemployment, and certainly the government does not want that?! we are supposed to work, right? Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness and all that, or was that all lies?
I know we are competing globally now for work, but does that mean we have to work for nothing now...so even though we have the capability of perhaps fighting for our jobs, we should just let them go, lie down and give up, because that is progress? well, what is the next thing that will be taken? just lie down and let that happen, too? when is it okay to stand up for yourself?
perhaps service jobs (as what will probably be the only jobs left soon) should start paying $15-20/hour.
things are obviously changing, I understand that, but we need to also have a balance. you can not have rich and poor, because that will only lead to some kind of a revolution. people are already getting frustrated, less money in the pocket, etc.
I see these real estate developments go up all over, and more and more, the old for sale signs pop up after about a year as people move in, probably lose their jobs, and then have to move out.
What makes me sick is all of you big
digusting MTs trying to make people see things your way and if people don't, you jump all over them. So, here is a dose of your own medicine. If you don't like it, don't read my posts! See ya!
What makes you think she is a moron?

It makes me cry, $12.50 an hour in (nm)
wwwwwwww
that makes sense.

I have worked for OSI for a while but this makes me want to look elsewhere,

She's not the only one who makes that mistake....
I had a medical records director 20+ years ago mark on our evaluation under "skill level", that out MT job needed little skill for the job. I refused to sign the evaluation and told her she should be ashamed of herself. Can you believe it? And she had an ART just like me...go figure!
