Try standing

Posted By: Swiftsail on 2008-09-15
In Reply to: Sitting - problems & solutions

There are desks on the market that can be raised and lowered so you can stand at your station and type for awhile and then sit back down. This may help some people who find it difficult to sit for 8 hours. Just a thought. Some people work better standing and some sitting.

Do you have EMS standing by? lol
 
I so appreciate your standing up for me
I do not have to make this up at all. My husband then on dialysis at the same hospital where I worked and this physician on the staff there. My regular doctors there, husband's nephrologist there, I felt in a bind in my ability to do anything at all. I know mistakes made in plastic surgery as far as blotch jobs sometimes but I would think similar has happened before and after me. If I had worked somewhere else, I probably would have persued it further but I could not chance it, raising children and sending to college also. I was behind the 8 ball. I don't know why people come down so hard on another on these posts. If you don't believe, fine, no problem. I thought that $3,000 was not worth my losing my job, losing my insurance on my husband including burial which I had to use eventually, all income. Just didn't make that much sense to me and let it go. Thanks again for your post above!
Good for you for standing up to these

You are so correct in that the reign is so tight, it is hard to get ahead.  Medquist is probably the worst place ever.  Those people there are not happy either, so you're probably lucky you lasted a week there.


Good luck to you!  I'm with you on this one, but fortunately, I have my own accounts, so no need to have upper management or shirts on my case. 


I wish you all the luck in the world!  You go girl!!!!!!!!!!  From an admirer who says get out while you are still keeping afloat!  I plan to get my youngest through elementary school, and I'm outta this profession as well. 


And one more--Does anyone ever type standing up?
I know it sounds a little strange, but sometimes I just plain get tired of sitting and have thought if I had a raised tray for the keyboard and could easily elevate the monitor, it could work. 
I take it that's Patti standing in the doorway??
 Hi Patti!
Standing ovation to you! I agree sm
500%!
Let me guess ... 10 guys standing around and 1 working!!

give Hill credit for STANDING BY HER MAN...nm

You don't have to agree with BOS standing! The sheer numbers
Go ahead, though. Be an ostrich. Hide your head in the sand. As long as YOU don't see it, it isn't there, right?!

lol

Free-standing keyboard tray
I found a free-standing keyboard tray that might be handy for travel. There is a picture of it at this site. Here is the link:

There is also the possibility that someone was standing in line for an elderly person, again
we don't know cause we are not there.
We had two different sizes. The problem is they tend to flatten out instead of standing upright. sm
So if you buy one that says it is 42" deep you really only get about 36-38" deep out of it. You are better off to buy a different kind of pool. We bought one that is a kit, but has a frame to it and is much, much better than the ones with the blow up ring. It is made by Intex and it is blue also, but made of a tough liner type material. It has a metal frame that you build (only took 45 min. to put it up)and it actuall stands up like a real above ground pool. Very nice and not much money..about 350.00 at Walmart for the whole kit, pool, filter, et cetera.
Whining incessantly anonymously on a message board is far from "fighting back and standing up for
your rights".  Sheesh. That's how silly you all are.  Blah, blah, blah on here 24/7 and I guarantee you that's the extent of your yaw.  Otherwise, you'd be sharing some pertinent communications you've had with the people who MATTER - like your supervisors, managers, etc.  And I don't like change?  Sweetie, I go with the flow and have changed with this career every step of the way - starting back typing on a manual typewriter with 8 colored carbon copies and matching colors of "liquid paper" and listening to tapes, and now using state-of-the-art platforms with voice recognition as well.  I'm happy, and still love my job. Thank you for your unstated concern!  You have a problem with your work flow, dictators, you call your superiors and have it taken care of.  If they don't "change" it to your liking, that's your answer - the handwriting is on the wall, so to speak! You're getting what they want to give you regarding work! Pounding your chest in words on this message board under an assumed name is nothing short of ludicrous.  and over and over and over and over and over again....ya, ya, ya, cherry pickers, Indians, cherry pickers, Indians....yawn yawn.  Ya take up good board space and don't realize how totally FOOLISH you look... snore.... But its your "breath", and your precious energy wasted, so go for it!!  Heavens you should direct your complaints to the proper channel!!!!
i have word 2000 free standing as well with no problems. email support, they will help you shortly.
you shouldn't struggle with having problems. support is there to help us and they are good at their job. as with any new acct, there are always gonna be some kinks. i had some to work out as well with my end of the system. it doesn't sound like something you can fix; probably something with how the two tie in together. did you log out and back in and see if that helped?
