That is what caused me to be unable to transcribe anymore.

In Reply to: 2500 lines ??? - Pollyanna
I have to do QA now and it is a good thing I like QA, but I cannot do anymore transcribing due to the mess it has made of my back and to my hands/wrists. I also did minimally 2200 lines in 5 hours and have done as many as 3200 before. Those were the good ole days. Do it while you can because at that rate, it takes its toll on our body.

All I know is it caused the company I work for to be unable to do all work due today and the rest
:+
I have been unable to get through to anyone. I can't reach
anyone in Oregon either. I expect they probably flew out to Queensland to be with Terri and the kids. I've tried to send email but it's bouncing, so I checked the zoo website and it's been down more than up. I'm mailing out a letter tomorrow but it will be at least 10 days before she gets it and the staff roll through everything first to look for the nickname so that could be a while, too.
I think it is probably someone unable to have a full thought because
this job takes over our minds LOL!!
Unable to bring the web site up that you have
check to be sure that it is spelled correctly. Thank you.
I am unable to find that anywhere on the site...sm
can you post exactly where one should look for this? thanks
Can having a bad gallbladder make you unable to lose weight? ~sm~
I need to have my gallbladder out. I had an ultrasound that showed that my gallbladder is completely filled with gallstones. The symptoms started about a year ago and it took me a few months before I realized what was going on. When I eat certain foods, I get sick and extremely bloated. There is also constant pain that does not go away for hours. I try to avoid all the foods that I am aware make me ill but it is getting really limited as to what I can eat. I have been eating toast for breakfast and salads for both lunch and dinner. The salads have no meat in them, are basically all vegetables and I use a vinagrette dressing. I thought that I would lose some weight by being forced to eat this way but it is not happening. Does anyone know if having a bad gallbladder causes you to retain water (especially with the bloating) and be unable to lose weight? I am scheduled for surgery the second week of July. I never thought I would be looking forward to having surgery but I am for this.

Do you know what caused the ....sm
water damage? Is it something that could happen again like flooding?? I would certainly wait until after inspection. Personally, though, I would probalby keep looking. Do you have a realtor? They could answer your money questions.
Hey Susan..I don't think it really caused any flames.

I bought one of those cat fountains and it caused
A brown area on the white fram around the plug. I sent it back and got my money back. Most of this stuff is made in China now and I think they use cheap wiring. I was glad I was home and noticed it because it could have melted the plug and started a fire.
Did try - it caused my supe to giggle :{ NM

I am pretty sure braces CAUSED my DD's TMJ
She never had it before she had braces, and has had it ever since. I started to do some research on the web about it, and it seems it is pretty common for orthodontists to line up the TEETH, but not the jaws - which is kind of a DUH thing to me. I mean, you would expect an orthodontist to know they needed to have both in line, right? My DD's teeth look beautifully straight, but her jaws click and sometimes get stuck.
caused me to go severely in debt
that 10 years later I am still recovering from - was writing checks on charge accounts to pay mortgage - this was local and when I would go to her house to pick up and drop off tapes I was seeing boxes from QVC yet she said she wasn't getting paid. Still angry.
I have heard that this can often be caused by stress.
In the early years of my first marriage, my husband soaked the sheets nightly. He was in the middle of a nasty divorce and child custody case. When those issues resolved, the night sweats disappeared.
Here's a different perspective on what really caused lung cancer.

Apologies all around, we experienced a glitch that caused
the content on the inside of the post to not belong to the original job ad post. The error has been rectified.
chapped lips are caused from dehydration in the beginning and sm
chapsticks are a chain reaction causing continual need.
I read a book once that burnout was caused by being out of balance. sm
Working too much and not giving time to other parts of your life is the culprit in the job arena. Variety is the spice of life, so focusing on balancing your job, your need for a good cash flow, with times to enjoy yourself is essential.
It takes work, and fortunately I have an S/O that demands that I take time for us to have fun and for "me" to have fun as an individual.
Mwahahaha. Just call me the dealer that caused the shuffle. SM
I'm like you, I couldn't understand how this particular subject could cause such a ruckus. I got a little picky about how the question should be answered because there are many variables when talking about line counts.
So I'm just going to give my answer and hope that this helps you.
I work 8 hours a day and my line count is based on a 65 character line with spaces.
In an 8-hour day, with very few interruptions, I produce 1800 to 2000 lines a day. If the kids are home (as they are today), my production will slip to around 1500, sometimes even lower, but let's not talk about those days! 
My headaches were caused by a bad chair! My boss told me about the same thing and sm
I went out and bought a new chair. No more headaches. That was 4 years ago and it still ticks me off that I had a headache for 5 months that no one had a reason for. Turns out that my chair was tilting funny and I was over-compensating for it without realizing that it was off balance.
Yes, I work 80-90 hours a week. I am going to stop because life is passing me by and it has caused
depression. There is no way mentally or physically you can keep up the pace. It is finally getting to me and I now realize there are more important things in life than work. I have been a workaholic all of my life. It started as an escape to a bad marriage but I ended up missing my kids grow up, I've lost friends because I have no time for them, and this is my last chance with an 8-year-old child left at home to get it right and put my family first. It means giving up a lot of "material things" but what do they matter when all you need is the love of your family. I'd never recommend this to anyone. 
Sounds like Rodney King after he wreaked havoc and caused a great race riot.
Quit calling people FOOLS and then asking if we can't get along.

do you ever wonder anymore when they say
they 'lost the account' if it went to VR or somewhere else? Was it an easy account?
Perhaps you just need to get used to the new one. That happens to me, I panic on new accounts, and then after doing them a few weeks they are just as easy...
Sorry to hear you are losing money, though. That can never be good when that happens to one of us...
No. I do not believe so. Not anymore.
i know too many companies who suck too bad.
Do they pay much anymore? (sm)
I've seen a few ads, one I saw yesterday paying a whole $25.00 for each audio tape. The audio tapes were each one hour. Puleeeze!
So if it took you 3 minutes to do their 1 minute, you would make a little over $8.00 an hour. That is if their recording is good enough to understand. If it took you 4 minutes to their 1 minute, you would make a little over $6.00 an hour.
I used to, but not anymore. sm
I went to Wal Mart at 6 a.m. (only because I was already up) a couple of years ago and people were literally fighting in line to get to the door. I got in my car and went home. All I wanted was a 13 inch TV that was on sale, but figured it wasn't worth it.
I went back the next day and asked a salesperson if there was any chance they might have any of those 13 inch TV's left and he said, "Oh heck yes. We have hundreds of them out back. How many would you like me to go and get?"
Well, I just had to buy 2. 
Not anymore
Just a couple of weeks ago it got hacked and let through all kinds of worms/viruses.

I used to type verbatim and thought that was the way it was suppose to be as an MT until I was told that I needed to correct grammer, punctuation etc. from the company I work for "which is part of being an MT and not just a typist". So, since I was "informed" of how things were I make changes if necessary.
Don't cry anymore...get out as soon as possible.
Please follow the advice that has been written here in this thread... You've given this man (?) every chance. I wasted 7 years of my life to an alcoholic who was selfish, could've cared less about his sons, and all the while, I was hoping and praying that he would change. As a matter of fact, I gave him an ultimatum, and he is the one who left. It was a Saturday, I cried all day, didn't have a job, never had a job, what was I going to do? Well, come Monday, I went to the Welfare Department, got an emergency check, and by Monday afternoon, I was singing, dancing around, thrilled, and my kids had not seen me that happy all of their young lives! Really sad when I think about what I let them go through! It is not fair or healthy for the children, and to think I cowered until HE made the decision. After I left the welfare office, I thought how easy it was, and why didn't I do this sooner. Then, when I got my bearings, I went out into the big world and started working, scraped of course, but life went on, and the kids and I were happy. As the old saying goes, you have nothing to fear but fear itself. Please do this for yourself, but especially your children. God Bless You and give you strength.
yes, but not bad anymore.
it took numerous dermatologists to even get it diagnosed right. But mine itches fiercely. Used to have to take anti-itch meds orally. I have a mild case right now on my hand and legs. Years ago, had an Rx specially cococted at the pharmacy. The only component of that I recall is urea. Avoid hot water and soaps as much as possible. Other than finding a GOOD dermatologist, I'm afraid I don't have any advice to offer though.

from someone who does not have Mom anymore
I don't have my Mom around anymore and so with this in mind what I can suggest is time, do something with her, make time for her and make her feel important. Give her your undivided attention. It only has to be a lunch, a drive somewhere with lunch but most of the time all they want is time with their children. Just like when we were children and wanted their time and attention, now it has come full circle and they want our time and undivided attention. Even if you don't get along that well with your Mom, try it and see if it works. Wish I had more time with my Mom and there were times we did not get along but would love one more Mother's Day. Just a thought.
Not anymore, but I was 24 when I got into MT, 34 now. nm

Used to like her, but don't anymore (sm)
I agree. Who cares what her favorite things are?
Not anymore!
Happened to me too. I now work for a company that charges the hospital by the minutes dictated, so even when they do change their minds, I'm still getting paid.
I don't SR anymore but
I really liked it when I worked at the Q. The complaint that you can type it faster than edit it never applied to me because I used to be reading and editing way ahead of where the dictation was. After a while, I learned to interpret some of the garbage ASR put in and would change it before it was even dictated. So I was actually editing faster than it was being dictated. I am not sure I explained it well, but no way I could have typed it that fast.
it's sad that nobody ever says thanks anymore
I might catch and correct literally hundreds of mistakes in any given week, but if I happen to miss one - THAT'S the only thing I'll ever hear about.

Its not too expensive anymore, and i think...
that it's worth it. It could make the difference between a new client, and that in itself would pay for the cost of your website. I would suggest either of these services:
www.aplus.net or www.sitefever.com
I used to use a timer, but not anymore.
It would jump the living daylights out of me every time as I was "in the transcribing zone." :)
Can't be too careful anymore.
Very wise call.
Nothing about MQ is adding up anymore.

not a legal anything anymore
You really need to speak with an attorney about this. I see several issues: 1- she was not divorced, as I understand it, so her husband might have rights to the m/c; 2- Dependant on the existance (I spelled that wrong huh) of a will, who knows who actually owns the bike; but, 3- if the bike is in her name on the title, and there is no leinholder, odds are, the seller has no legal footing (unless there's a contract of sorts with receipts to verify his legal standing).... it boils down to, talk to an attorney in your state, laws vary so much state to state.
I'm so sorry for your loss, and so sorry this had to pop up to get in the way of your grieving and healing process.
I don't do homemade anymore
Being single, its just easier nowadays to buy chili, the fritos and cheese. One thing I NEVER EVER EVER EVER buy (or made) chili with beans .... el yucko!!!!
I use to all the time. Not anymore though.
It is only because no one offers that anymore
nm
She's never on this board anymore.
If you notice, we haven't heard from her since Christmas. She has hired others to respond to us. Probably because she is ashamed.
I don't watch it anymore, but...
watched it today and bawled like I did the first time when Dr. Green's father died and then bawled all over again when Carol and Doug were reunited.
I don't even watch anymore
I used to be a huge Idol fan; however, this season they have lost me. The show is boring and does not keep my attention. I am pulling for Chris to win, even though I don't watch because I live in Greensboro, NC and he is from McLeansville. I went to high school in McLeansville and knew his family. He is a really great guy and I think he is wonderfully talented. I hear updates on the radio and see them on the local news every now and then and that is enough for me. I still think the best season by far was the very first one when Kelly Clarkson won. I am a huge fan of hers and she has been the most successful yet. We shall see what happens with the rest of them.
who even cares anymore what the BOS says?
not me!
