I hate ophthalmology - very slow moving...nm
I think we could all stand to learn from the Amish and how they are handling this awful, awful sm
tragedy. I read on a website 2 seperate stories of how the Amish are dealing with this. Yes, they are sad, but they believe that they will (and I do too) see their children again and that they are in a much better place. They have reached out to the gunman's family, visiting the killer's wife and children and offering them forgiveness. I also read that they want to "help" the gunman's family monetarily through a Mennonite fund if they need help! The article contrasted the Amish to other school tragedies where lawsuits were filed and death threats were made against the family members of the ones who committed the murders!
They are such graceful, loving people. Different, yet. Weird? In a way. But you have to admit that without electricity or vehicles to get them around, they obviously live a faith that most of us could only wish we had inside of us. I am a Christian. If a madman entered my children's school and killed them, could I offer forgiveness to their family? I doubt it. Could I weep in peace and silence knowing that I would someday see my children again? Maybe. But I would be a wretched mess and everyone around me would KNOW my suffering.
I am learning a great deal about the Amish through this. I used to live near PA where seeing the Amish was a regular occurrence. I thought they were so crazy and weird.....But, it was my own ignorance that made those judgments. They are wonderful, Godly people. I admire them more and more as I continue to read how they are dealing with this awful event!
I second that motion
Brilliant. They hear what they want to hear anyway. If you have it in black and white that it is 10 cents for 55 characters that is being honest. All they will notice is that it is 10 cents. If 10 is the magic number this way everyone is happy.
I second that motion.
I'm also from the south. I sorta like Bucky when he sings but not when he speaks. Not feeling that hair either although it is much neater looking since the stylist worked on it. I'm more irritated by Kellie though than Bucky.
I second that (e)motion.....*lol*...nm
I second that motion!

I second the motion on AVG. I used to have it and -
liked the free AVG better than the McAfee I currently have that with my new PC.
Slow day for me. Typed two reports in two hours. Anyone else having unusually slow day?

Motion Sickness
I am one of those people who absolutely cannot read while in a car. I also cannot ride in the back seat (reading or not reading), and I have to avoid any and all motion simulation rides at thrill ride parks.
HOWEVER, my husband and I recently made a 3-1/2-hour drive to visit his family, and I worked in the front passenger seat the whole time and wasn't bothered one bit. It was a little tough to get situated at first, but once I got everything in a comfortable position, it worked out perfectly.
I'm not sure what the difference is, but there certainly was one in my case.
Hope this helps!
Foot range of motion
I think he is referring to range of motion when he says 5,0,8,0,3,8,2????
I second the Mr. Clean eraser motion
My son recently got black permanent marker on my wooden kitchen table . . . amazingly, the magic eraser rubbed it right off. I have used them for textured surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom before also and they "work like magic".
He sounded
like the 'serial killer' type. pretty scary.
that should be, public, free TV will be gone...wheels in motion starting 2006...(nm)

Ok, thanks. I think it might be new AAMT changes. That's what it sounded like to me.
I'm going to post another ? at the top of the page. Can't believe how quickly this moved down! Thanks again!
Since you had a bad ESL did you blank or put what it sounded like?

Sounded fishy to me
They are both identical, polite and too exact and to me sounded like it was someone attempting to appear to be American. Maybe I am a skeptic but that is my gut feeling. 
That sounded all normal to me. And SM
remember that the day after Christmas there won't be much work anywhere.
sounded gross at first to me, but
This doesn't sound very appetizing to me, but I do love the McDonald's McGriddles. It's like having the bacon or sausage between your pancakes. So very good!
I know it sounded hypocritical
But, it is like I traded 1 problem for another. I did feel like I was being jilted. They never gave raises, they never delivered what was promised, they played favorites, but the money was better than what I am making now. I had to dip out of my retirement account to pay off some bills. I just couldn't make the monthly payments anymore. I am still not able to get health insurance. I just cannot afford it. Sometimes, I wonder if I should not have taken the heat and stayed. I talked to my ex supe today and it almost made me ill, so I won't go back. I did not even ask.
Interesting article on MSNBC regarding repetitive motion strain and malaise.

sounded like you were dripping with sarcasm nm
But that said. 
Used to transcribe a doc who sounded startled,
as if I caught him off-guard, and every time I would get his dictation, he made me laugh..."oh?! Hi!"
a bark?? I thought it sounded like a cat!!
xx
First of all, you sounded condescending, and secondly YOU WERE YELLING!
And then you accused the other poster of copping an attitude? Maybe you need to take a course, posting etiquette 101. lol
OK, just sounded a lot like my experience with a company there. nm

Would help me tons if all dictators sounded like
Patrick Stewart. Ah, if only someone could make it so! (she grins)
I just heard it! Sounded like a bark to me, but could have been a "woo".
Too funny!
Your response sounded angry, defensive and judgmental
you gave for "walking away from the rat race." I don't buy it. I've had tough times in my life too, probably as tough as yours. It's your choice. You can either work harder and refuse to accept crap for yourself or you can get angry and bitter, which is what you've apparently done. If you're talking about turning in soda bottles for deposits, people are naturally going to deduct from that that you are or have been poor. You said it, I didn't. So if you choose to "give up," that's up to you. I chose to make something of myself nomatter what or how long it took. Read Plato's "The Republic." It's the difference between Gold, Silver and Bronze.
she sounded pretty rational to me, you were the one posting inflammatory remarks...nm

Brings back memories! I had a computer fan that sounded like a mini helicopter! Kept
calling my company and having them "listen". They weren't concerned. It did actually blow up one day - a little mini "poof" of fire, 2 seconds of light smelly smoke, and she was dead!! A goner! Never heard it before, never heard it after, but one did make noise and it died a month later!
HAHAH, bet my question sounded dumb! For some reason I was picturing tuna salad and couldnt figure
Moving to AZ...sm
I tried posting this on the state boards but there is no activity there, so I am posting here.
Thinking about moving to Arizona next year. Somewhere around the Goodyear, Surprise, Litchfield Park area. Love Estrella Ranch but it is just a tad too pricey for what we want to spend. Anybody from Arizona care to share if there are other communities similar to Estrella Ranch? Where are the best schools for high school and middle school? good, bad and ugly would be great.
Thanks
Considering moving on from MT to QA at MQ and
am wondering how that works. If you're in QA, do you ONLY do QA work? Or do you also do transcription?
I ask because when I receive updates from my office, and it shows which MTs and which QA's are currently working, sometimes there are NO REPORTS in QA, and it makes me wonder if those folks just sit there until something comes along, or do they do something else in the meantime?
No one to ask this evening so thought I'd ask here. Thanks!
lol thats it? lol moving on....

Moving up sm
I know that most places, this is the luck of the draw to find a management position. I have experience doing it and I can't get a job to be able to do it again, and honestly I don't know that I would want to at this point. I was a wonderful manager, as far as my MTs were concerned, but it is not my forte' in this business and I didn't particularly enjoy it. I found it pretty thankless all the way around, from the QA to trying to motivate a good MT to work more and try to teach a poor MT how to do a better job, assigning work, taking STAT reports in the middle of the night which I was not supposed to type myself, but usually did because I am not going to call someone at 3 a.m.!!! Yuck.
As far as MTing goes, I am a better than average MT and I know what I am doing. I can get in, get it done and get out to take care of my life. It doesn't have to encroach on my free time. I didn't find this true when I was manager, there was no free time. I make substantially better money with about one-third of the hours.
Also, in order to get in on one of these management positions, I think you need to distinguish yourself as an outstanding MT. Now, if you do that, they will notice you, but they will not promote you because you are now too valuable as an MT. This is the situation I was recently in in. My last job I was told I would *never* be considered for QA or management because of my MT skills. I was consistently in the top 3 production wise, my QA numbers were well below 5% and my accuracy on audits was over 99%. I was just too good for it. You are darned if you and darned if you don't.
Then again, my goal was never to manage, it was to be an excellent MT. I think as it is your goal, you should go for it. You might consider taking some management courses at a local community college so you can put that on your resume too. If you have anything that could be considered management experience, make the most of it. Be valuable to your company, but not too valuable! LOL
Still not moving - sm
I tried both suggestions, but neither moved the "file through help" portion back to the horizontal toolbar - still vertical on the left side of the page.
thank you for trying...
I loved it. Very moving.

It is HIS house, I do the moving
He owns this house. It is too expensive for me to live here. It is an older home, needs work, expensive to heat. I work 5 pm to 2am. So evenings and nights. He puts kids to bed. I and kids wake up at 9am. Kids go to bed at 10pm.
And, there is nothing...I say N O T H I N G to rent in my daughter's school district (I've already moved her twice) and I am staying in this district til she graduates or if I am settled, for the duration of little kids' schooling.
Nope, don't have any interest in being Radiology Director of a 300+ bed hospital. Sorry.
Thanks for post.
Try moving your monitor up or down, too. sm
When my monitor is not positioned correctly, I get terrible neck aches and headaches. Sometimes just a half inch really makes a difference. Or even move your keyboard up or down. When I worked at the hospital, maintenance had to move my whole desk up onto 2 x 4's to give me that little bit of extra I needed and then I was comfortable. They had a desk made for kids that I had to sit at. It was really cramped.
Moving IT to a new computer
Please see the link below for instructions on how to move IT to a new computer.
Ok, I started it. Come on over and see if we can get it moving.

MOVING TO TEXAS
Stay away from the D/FW area and Houston - too much traffic and illegals. Drugs, gangs, etc. Try to find a small town or country setting. It is HOT and the concrete of the cities just increases that heat. Also the pollution in these areas is bad so if you have any type of lung or breathing problems - stay away. However, if you do not mind sitting in traffic for an hour to get to a job 10 miles away - then you should move to a big city. If you are planning to work from home, remember that internet is not available everywhere in Texas. Personally, I wouldn't move to Texas - I would choose SC or FL - much better options.

moving to Sacramento......
I am in Loomis, about 20-30 minutes away. It is hotter than heck here in the summer and they last till, well we have the last of it now. This year was the WORST in my opinion, and I have been in the area for 25 years. I have never had a problem finding work, I check the various MT boards and Craigslist also yes occasionally Sutter does hire, but not so much MTs in this area - more in the Bay Area. Most of the Sutter Hospitals in the Sac area outsource their transcription. I worked there for 7 years in transcription, and another 4 years in other departments. Not so sure you want to work at a Kaiser Hospital, they aren't so nice. Good luck to you! Really this is such a great location for CA, you are close to mountains, ocean, etc. I think you are really going to like it!
Moving jobs
Same here - I have had 3 jobs in the past 2 years, as well -with 2 being lost to account loss. I work as an IC - so it just goes on my resume as IC with the specialties I have worked. I am doing mostly editing now and do not know if this is a good fit, either, and may be changing again very soon.
I'm going to try moving my laptop around...sm...
to different areas of the house or on the deck or somewhere to see if that helps. Haven't tried it yet but will soon. I'm almost finished getting laptop set up.
Good for you...i am moving on as well...
I decided to go back to school!
Moving into management
Some places will promote their lead Transcriptionist into management, but that's often a mistake. Having excellent transcription skills is not the same thing as having mentoring, motivating, planning, budgeting and interpersonal skills in a transcription environment.
You've had a boss who thought you had potential in these areas. Do you feel you would enjoy doing those things or would you feel the call of the keyboard? Would you dislike delegating? Would you dislike training because it's just faster and easier to do it yourself? Do you like dealing with people, or do you prefer to deal with data and to be left alone to do your thing? These are some of the questions to consider because the jobs really are different.
If you are truly tired of the rat race that is production typing and think you really might be interested in management, then check your local junior college or business school for classes on management/supervision. They might be credit classes or they may be career/life enrichment classes. They shouldn't be all that expensive, and they should give you a better idea about whether this is the path you want to take. Employers sometimes look for the RHIT or CMT credential for management personnel. If you aren't one of those, then proof of study in the management field may be of help to you.
I find that I generally like to read/discuss management techniques more than I like doing them, but it's getting harder and harder to do the production thing. Maybe I'm ready to try management again. I think I've learned not to make the same mistakes I made before. It's thinking about making the new ones that's holding me back! Best of luck in whichever path you take.
Moving up in your company
I am just starting as an MT for a new company. What I am really interested in is working as an MT for a good while, learning everything about my account, my company, and the platform, and then working my way up. Can anyone who has done this tell me about what steps they took to do it and/or give any tips you can? I am not that interested in doing QA, but if I can move up to QA one day I wouldn't turn it down.
template moving..help please..sm
I could use any help from someone more savvy than I am in regards to the making the template not move.
I was given a letterhead that I now need to put headers in. The need to be lined up like this:
PATIENT NAME: @@ DOB: @@
PHYSICIAN: @@ MR#: @@
No matter what I try, I can not fill in one field without the other field moving over. It is so time consuming to have to back it up each time considering there are four fields each side.
Any ideas?
The form I need to make this on has their header with log and the footer with their names and the like, so I have the inside of a template so to speak, to work in.
thank you for anything to help.

moving tool bar
So I played around with Word. There are three dots to the right of the word File. Put your curser on the three dots and drag them back up to your tool bar. They will then be in a "little bar/box" then click on that bar again and "drop" it back on top. Hope that helps!
Moving big stuff
Log onto Craigslist for your area and post a notice - you need someone with a truck who is traveling in your direction to take your furniture. If you are near a college, perhaps a student would keep the rocking chair or whatever til the semester ends in May and transport it then - put up notices around your town. Post a Craigslist notice on your destination town's board - just spread the word and someone will step forward to help you out. I got a refrigerator box from Sears one year when we lived in Hawaii and put my rocking chair in that, filled with sheets and blankets to pad it. I taped it like there was no tomorrow. Shipped from Hawaii to British Columbia without a problem.
