This bugs me too!!!

In Reply to: It's a sad day when a highly educated doctor can't - even pronounce simple medical words...sm

I totally know what you mean! It is scary that a doctor cannot pronounce the terms and I can...who had more schooling again? lol. But seriously I leave blanks because I don't want to guess and then QA tells me that I need to put in more effort to locate the medication names. I just want to make sure it is correct! If they would just dictate it correctly I could just type it and move on to the next...they are doctors, you think they would know how to pronounce medical terms.

Bugs, exactly what kind of bugs
do you have, what are your symptoms? Saw something on TVV that might go along with what you are talking about.
Bugs
I live in Ohio too.  When I had a bug problem I went online to my county's agricultural website.  They have a section on bugs and can help you identify them.
No stomach bug here but still bugs

My kids came home yesterday with notes stating that headlice was going around and to keep an eye out for itchy heads, great way to start the new year 


June bugs
Awwww, I miss June bugs, and just hearing about them makes me wish I was back in Missouri, which is where I grew up and we saw lots of them!
June bugs
My husband's uncle used to eat them.
Not until the bugs are worked out

This really BUGS me, & I'm getting sick of it! - sm

                   


Why is it that MTSOs can't get at least MOST of their QA people on the same page when it comes to style, format, spelling, abbreviations, etc. etc.???  I have 4 different people editing my work, and I keep getting 4 different opinions on what is correct and what is not!  Half the things they *correct* were right when I typed them, and now are WRONG once they're edited!  Yet it's MY initials on the page of the final product, so whoever reads it will think I produced that trash.  Gaaaaaaa!


 


Get some chickens, they love bugs! :)

To get rid of june bugs you need to get rid of grubs. You can
use Milky Spore but it is expensive and can take up to 3 years.   You can put products on the lawn for grub control and that will eliminate the June bugs.  
I've heard it has too many bugs in it...
and to wait until Microsoft works things out better before buying it.
JUST A SMALL VENT - This just really bugs me...

I sooooooo CANNOT stand when a dictator is chomping/smacking gum, food, ice whatever the heck is in their mouth in my ear while talking!!  Do they not know it is annoying and does interfere when they are chomping between their words??? 


Arrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh.....ahh, Im better! lol 


That bugs me, too, as a matter of fact....(sm)
About 20 years ago, our new director introduced herself to the transcription department by asking, "How many transcribers do we have?" Without hesitating, I replied, "One for every Transcriptionist and two backups" :O
Not the typos it's misspelling "niece" that bugs.

Ewww! Are those the brown hard little bugs that

I'll be watching to see what suggestions you get!! LOL


I just found the best spray for June bugs sm
and spiders, ants and those yukky black and yellow bees that go in the ground. I have June bugs something awful this year, hundreds banging around my house. And those bees were so bad last year I couldn't get in the garden, they had invaded everything and got in the house as well. I talked to a farmer who used this stuff called Suspend. He said it really worked but it was expensive.  I found some on the web and mixed a couple gallons and went around the foundation, under the decks and sprayed a bunch in every bee hole I could find and wow, it's like magic. I haven't seen one bee scouting around the holes, no ants in the house anymore or in the gardens and not one spider. We get those big wolf spiders and I found 4 dead ones in the alley. It's great. It's $40.00 for a bottle (I think its a pint) and it makes around 11 gallons. I bought it at http://www.doyourownpestcontrol.com.  No, I am not a distributor nor do I make any money off referrals. Just recommending something I finally found has worked.
oh but mine is *apparently* - yeah that bugs. nm

Anywhere I see an error it bugs me. I've seen the fast food
signs, grocery store signs frequently with spelling errors.  I have even called a fast food store and told them about an error.  It also bugs me when I watch the news and they'll put the name of a person or a place as a caption and they obviously spell it wrong.   Not only am I an MT, but I homeschool my children, so I think spelling errors bug me more.   Before I took my DS out of school the kids were having a contest about guessing the weight of a pumpkin and they made posters and spelled it "pumkin."  I brought it to the attention of the principal as I noticed it on the day I was pulling my son out of school and she took down all the posters.   I don't proof posts here and I'm sure I make spelling errors or use the wrong "they're/their/there", but I really try to be conscious of my spelling.
