I am going ot be 40 soon and the same exact thing!
Glad to hear it's normal. For me I think it is from always having a lot on my mind and stress can probably do it too.
I have run into the exact same thing
Where I trained (OJT training) it was always disc. The second job I had, my primary used disc and all the secondaries wanted disk. At my current job every client (so far) uses disk. It can drive you crazy learning to do something a different way for each client and trying to remember it all, switching between them all day!
This is why flexibility is key. AAMT rules don't mean squat to many doctors, and some insist on their eccentricities so THEY can tell its their own report and not someone else dictating under their name (which happens plenty, and isn't always caught). I've had many literally make up words which cannot be found in any dictionary, but they insist you put them in their reports because its their product and up to them what they want it to say.
So I'd say if you want to blame anybody for any bad habits MTs have picked up in their years of experience - point the finger straight at the clients! With effort we CAN unlearn bad habits, but who's to say the next client won't insist we learn a few more?
I'm going thru the same exact thing right now....
I live on a busy road AND they are building a 3-story building across the street. I just ordered a sleep mask (hope it works). Right now, I just blacken the room with black/out curtains (still not perfect, slivers of light still peek thru and I need black.
I hate ear plugs, uncomfortable and don't really work.
However, what I have found that does work is one of those sound maskers (I use waterfall sound). I also have a box fan running (if it's too cold I just face it somewhere it won't blow directly on me. These too things, along with the room-darkening curtain liners seem to do the trick pretty well. I'm hoping the mask will help some more.
I've also heard people had good luck with those air-whooshing-type sound machines. Right now I just have one of those little ones that play a variety of sounds...waterfall, rain, tropical forest, etc.
Good luck!
I think I'm going through this exact thing now
I've been with this current company for over a year now, and suddenly I have been having a lot of 'strange' things happening lately. The queues seem manipulated, I get jobs pulled back when I'm more than halfway through, my pay has been short, etc. They say these are all mistakes or accidents, so they're making me feel like it's all in my imagination. Can you tell me through email the name of the company he was talking about? I would really, really appreciate it just for some peace of mind that I'm not totally paranoid here.
I think you should tell Dell that exact same thing
that you posted here ... about getting some guy named Bobby that can't even speak English! Let's not forget the hours of time you spend on the phone repeating sentences and questions over and over again.
That is the exact same thing that happened
to me at MQ.
I was told that exact same thing.
Even got it in writting. Very difficult account (marjority ESL) and changed my work types completely. However, 13 days later they sent out an e-mail (to the entire office - not just me) that if quota was not met then the benefits were gone. When I confronted them with this, I was told there was no exceptions. Needless to say, I spent approximately 8 hours of OT getting my quota (of course not paid OT, just the lines), as I also have got to have the insurance. If you have a good supervisor though, they probably will work with you.
YES YES ! Same exact thing. On the worst day you can't even
x
I know how you feel. i did the exact same thing. sm
i recently took employee job too for the benefits and PTO but i am so used to not having a schedule that it has been really, really hard and also extremely hard to be productive with both accts. i am at the point i am not making either happy.
if with the employee job if you think you could earn more there in the long run and have more stability, i'd talk to them about your difficulties sticking to a schedule. if they found you to be a good employee, most will work with you on strictness with schedules.
if not and you are not really getting PTO and benes, the reason you took it to start with, why stay there when it sounds like you want the flexibility more? you didn't give reasons why you were treated unfairly. where they unhappy with your TAT or work or something to that matter that you could eliminate that happening in the future and consider how long ago that was. if it was a long time ago, i'd forget about it and stay there and make them happy.
I had this exact same thing - what worked for me SM
Just like the other poster suggested - I got another wrist gel pad and put it on the floor in front of my pedal - WORKED GREAT! My heel was simply sore from rubbing on the hard floor and this has worked wonders for me.
I actually bought the long one, the one that goes in front of my keyboard so I don't have to worry about the little one sliding around and it has been one of the best things I've done. No more heel pain for me!
I do the exact same thing... take breaks often..nm

Same exact thing happened with me too...sm
Last week and this week.
I was just looking on this site for the EXACT same thing!!
//
The exact same thing happened where I used to
work - the verbal 'warnings', written 'warning', then termination. And of course, all based on bogus allegations of 'noncompliance' if you couldn't keep up with the impossible production goals, or the QA for which the specs were changed daily. And if you spoke up about it you were 'insubordinate'. I just wish unemployment were open-ended and could last indefinitely. If that were the case, I'd jump off this merry-go-round in an instant for an unemployment check. At least it'd be something I could count on, which MT, sadly, is NOT.
same exact thing happens to me since I started coming here
My Golden does that same exact thing every evening at the
exact same time, 9:30 p.m. This usually happens after she is finished eating. We leave her bowl down 24/7 and she eats whenever she is hungry, so food never became an issue. She tends to eat mostly in the evening around 9 PM and she gets energy spurts right after. How funny is that!
She is 4 years old and still plenty active. She is my best buddy though. Awesome breed, would never want any other.
Labs and retrievers must have exercise every day. We walk for at least 30 minutes with at least 15 minutes of free run for her in an open field.
Love my Golden!
Exact same thing, transcribing and oblivious
and only 35 miles away from NYC. I finally got a call at 10 a.m. and could not work the rest of the day. Waiting to hear about a relative and other people I knew that worked there was extremely difficult. It was a day I will never forget.
Exact thing happened to me when I worked at
a local hospital (on site). The manager looked into it but nothing was ever done and it kept happening. I ended up leaving and working at home - so far, so good after about 8 months on the job. If people don't want to do ESLs they shouldn't be MTs.
Same exact thing except baked potatoes. NMsg
nm
Unbelievable how people have different definitions of the exact same thing
You said, "I just wanted to isolate myself at home on evenings and weekends".
A "social butterfly type" wouldn't have made that observation about herself. You made a decision to isolate yourself, which you of course have every right to do because most of us here do the same thing.
exact same thing, like excruciating to extremely grrr

Exact thing happened to me recently too, someone by the name of Marcia...
It was the strangest thing! I cannot for the life of me figure out why she would invest so much time and effort, tell me she wanted me to start ASAP, and then never contact me again. I refused to give her the satisfaction, though, of calling HER back!
Went through that exact same thing with EDiX. They sent that stuff overseas in a heartbeat, and the

The same exact thing happened to me and the seller refunded my money. He had done a horrible job
If you put it in a poster frame it may help. It was for my daughter and she wasn't overly picky at the age of 10 and it was Hilary Duff I believe.
I'm sorry, but I believe that is the worst condition possible :(
Worse than critical.
So sorry.
I have a chronic pain condition as well
It is giving me a break right now so I won't talk too much about it so I don't wake it up.:) This is my first relief in 10 years from severe RA which seems to have been in every joint at one time or another. So, totally understand your emotions on needing to feel like a useful member of society and take care of your responsibilities. Before RA, I worked for 17 years. I did try the disability route and was denied 5 years ago 5 times! Never tried again. I didn't want to then but to help the husband with the bills, I thought it was best and it would have been good for the marriage as well.
The hips keep me from sitting long periods, but you have MT companies who will work with you. One I work for now wants at least 800/lines per day but prefers 1000+. However, mentioned it was okay to break frequently as long as when the MT is on that the MT is very productive. So you might have a longer work day than the other MTs. However, there is hope. I would say even with your nursing background and good grasp of medical terminology and anatomy/physiology, you should still find a program in transcription or a good mentor or both. My heart goes out to you. I thought of nursing and my condition is the only reason I didn't go for it, but it is in demand, that and technology jobs are in demand also. I try to stick with the jobs that are in high demand.
I am going to try to leave a web site for you to take a look around that will give you an idea of what companies expect an MT to know:
http://www.hpisum.com/home.ihtml
You will have to cut and paste the address in the address box, but there is a lot of information there. Other posters may have more information for you. Best wishes.
This is not considered a disabling condition...sm
There are wrist supports that you can wear that will prevent this. I use one called a "thumb-wrist support." The web site to get it is:
http://www.sportstek.net/thumb_and_wrist.htm
Since I work more the usual 2 jobs, I wear this starting about 2 hours in and don't experience any pain whatsoever. I use mostly the one on my right hand but if I work more or through my usual days off, I use the left one as well.
You'll find out that temporary Work Comp is available for this condition, but never a condition that would afford you disability.
My cocker spaniel has a skin condition.
Her claws are brittle and long, her paw pads are thickened, she's itchy and smelly, and she has dead skin cells built up in the same areas you described. We did the antibiotics, steroids, allergy meds, and everything else without good results. I put a stop to it when the vet wanted to do $1,000 worth of tests and biopsies. (And switched vets!) The first vet called it allergies, seborrhea, keratinitis, and a bunch of other guesses. She also has mattery eyes and frequent ear infections. We rescued her from the pound 10 years ago, so she's an old girl. I have to keep her shaved and wash her with either a prescription shampoo or Neutrogena T-gel.
Condition of the Industry Opinions Needed!!
A question for the old timers! Only because the newer MTs might not honestly know. I have been in QA for a few years, and I hate it. I love transcribing - its my gift and where my heart is. That said, I so want to return to MTing, but am very afraid. When I QA, I get nothing but absolutely garbage ESLs. Horrible. Should be deported-type of dictations. I used to be great at ESLs when an MT, but only got occasional dictator who could bring me to tears. So, I am thinking that perhaps I just get constant garbage thru QA because that's what QA is - the garbage depository for ESLs!! But when I read these boards, MTs are complaining all the time about how horrible the dictators are these days, and how they can't keep up their line counts, etc. Has it changed that much these last few years since I've been QAing? Are most MTs simply getting the junk dictators? If so, I'd just rather stay put in QA and pass the time til I retire. Or, do you think this is just a result of my being in QA and just seeing the pits of dictators?? I know its not an absolute answer, but I would love opinions. I make a decent living getting paid hourly at QA, and am so uncertain of the waters out there right now. Thanks! 
Having the assault taken off his record was a condition of his probation. SM
So, I'm not sure if at the end of his probation if he had to contact anyone or follow it up in anyway. We know it's not on there anymore because he's going to nursing school now and had to get his CNA license as a prerequisite for the prgram and they did a background check for that.
I'll ask him. He's not here now. While I'm working, he and my son are at the boat show figuring out how to spend my paycheck!
Health insurance preexisting condition
That is correct. However, if you decide to get your own policy that is if you were an IC, be careful, and ask questions. When I became an IC, we got a policy from United Healthcare Golden Rule, and after we started paying, got the policy and did not cover any preexisting conditions. So, it ended up being a major medical policy. However, when working for an employer, and getting that insurance, preexisting would be covered and probably proof of continuous coverage or a wait period may be requested. Definitely check with HR.
I am looking at the exact same car!
I can get a 2006 Toyota Prius for about $24,000. That is not much more than I paid for my 2004 Ford Taurus that also accepts ethanol but where I live they don't make ethanol. :(
I have to get on a waiting list at the dealer. Also, I read too that there is a $3000 tax credit which would help to offset the price which I don't think is too bad anyway. :)
Please let us know if you get one and how you like it. :)
I'm doing the exact same as you. sm
I got out of MT for about 3 years and just recently started again part-time at the hospital so that I can put myself through college. So I'm just using and doing this as a means to the end to start all over again doing something I want to do.
Best of luck to you MTBlab.
This is my exact complaint
The looking up of addresses is ridiculous. I don't care HOW fast you type or HOW many macros and shortcuts you have, nothing will prepare you for that! The platform is user friendly where I work also. Most of the time with this company, I'm making less than $10 an hour because of this... and this job is my overtime job!
It's a small MTS and I really don't want to work for a national (from all that I hear on this board), so what does one do? How does one find the smaller companies to work for?
the exact words were
"Most are not even MTs anymore, bunch of redneck southerners mostly. Lost of dirty talk."
It it wasn't about people in the south, there would have been no need to inject term "redneck southerners." The poster could simply have said "people."
So, it seems to me YOU have the problem with reading comprehension. 
Would you share the exact name -sm
of this keyboard? I'd like to find one with wrist rests like you describe. I have one that is split, but the wrist rests are quite right. TIA.
I tried Prozac for the same exact
thing. Can't remember what its called, but when the OB/GYN gives it out, its in a pretty floral package...different package, same drug. I LOVED it. It worked nearly immediately to lighten my mood and improved my sleep. About 4 days into it, I developed complete urinary retention, which turns out to be a very common side effect. I was crushed...Now I alternate and take Lunesta every other night or so to sleep. Very mild and works great! Love that butterfly! Good luck to you!
Do you have the exact web address? Please em it to me. Thanks! nm

I once saw your exact symptoms on a PBS
show about these families who were sent out west to live in cabins..."Pioneer House" I think was the name of it. Anywhoo, one lady, a nurse, thought she had a blood clot in her arm because it was going numb and cold. She was on the pill too and that worried her even more. So, she saw the doctor and it turned out to be bursitis, although she didn't notice any pain! Weird, huh? But yeah, you should have someone check it out just to be on the safe side. Hope it gets better soon!
Does anyone know the exact ruling on...Please help
What is the exact HIPPA ruling on turn around for H&P? Over the years I have heard different rules. The report has to be on the chart within 24 hours of admission. What is the Transcriptionist to do if the doctor dictates it the 24th hour? Is there any leeway here?
Exact same boat for me 2 !!! nm

just had the same exact problem.
The newer version of Express Scribe 4.16 does not support dss files. She needs to go to the express scribe forums page and look for the file to download version 4.15. Once that is done. If she is running XP, go to the help and support section on her computer start menu. Run the compatibility wizard but make she she chooses no previous compatibility. This fixed mine in a flash. Then try to reload files and it hopefully should work. you can email me too if you like
my exact thoughts on this..
No gas expense, type in shorts, and have the windows wide open to hear the birds singing...
I had exact experience... sm
I did fine on the test questions but the transcription was muffled and I listened to it over and over for hours and still failed that portion of the test. I was not allowed to make excuses or to retake. The test was the most in-depth I had ever run into. Anyway, I took a test for one of the companies the matchmaker was testing me for, and I'm now working for them.
Not sure your exact situation but if it were me
directly. What company is this? I live in Iowa and had a similar situation about 6 months ago with a company I'm hoping will be shut down by the end of the year!
I have the exact same problem with CS.net
XX
I am in the exact situation you are in...sm
except it isn't that I am bored with clinic. I don't have near enough work and it is just getting worse. I cannot find another job because I do not have acute care exp. Well I do but only like 2 months. I need this exp if I am to have a good job I think. At least it seems that way.
I had the exact same issues! sm
Maybe I'm an old dog. I started out with PRD and basically use IT the same way. I don't utilize all the bells and whistles that IT has. It really got overwhelming when I tried to use every aspect of the program. I basically just use it like the old PRD program and it works for me!
I've had the exact same week...
I just choked down 2 more Motrin and 4 Tums. What is going on this week? I've been extremely nauseous, sore and achy, and completely exhausted and barely transcribing. I can't seem to focus on it. I just started with this company a few weeks ago, but I just hate the job. They monitor every little thing and have so many passwords on this system that I can barely get into a rhythm. Even to use Google, I have to plug in a password multiple times each shift as it times out. I'm supposed to email them when I start, stop, break for lunch, etc. I feel like Big Brother is watching me constantly. What's weird is that it's sort of backfiring, because I feel paralyzed or something! Anyway, I'm down in the gutter and don't feel well and have been living in my bath robe all week and haven't put on makeup, fixed myself up, etc... I am so discouraged. I keep trying to snap out of it, but I feel too lousy. Ugh. I need to find a better company, but after reading the boards, I don't think one exists.
Yes, exact same person in my life. sm
I have a similar situation with my mother. She is just so negative and miserable all of the time. Snide remarks always and lives in the past. It is very painful, but I have distanced myself. I love my mother, but I can not keep her close any longer. It is just too painful. She disrupts my inner peace most times.
Instead of talking to her every day, I now call once a week, and soon it will be once a month. I am one of 6, and the others call once a month or stop in to see her once a month if that, and that is just so wonderful....So, I figure, if it is okay for them than it is okay for me. It actually feels good to have my own life without negative energy feeding into it.
Always love your mother, but you do not need to have her in your daily life. That is my philosophy. Good luck.
Yes, and FEMA went through this exact scenario
for this storm with the same demographics and destruction level almost a year ago with NO and they were told they would not survive, given a list of procedures and policies to put into place, etc., and a hefty grant to initiate all the action...almost a YEAR ago. Nothing was done by NO authorities. Nothing.
He will have his share of blame for this, I'm sure.
