Guess what, the first check came today
We'll see how long it takes for the second one to come.
I will check my chair when I get home today...
I received a check today from the oral surgeon. nm
WHEW!!!
NM
Whew. Thanks! nm

WHEW!
lol!
Whew!!
I always itemize because have loads of things to itemize, loads. Have not taken just standard in years so understand now. Thanks
Whew!!! Good for you.
See, you can do it
Whew! You had me worried there
whew - I think you've been
listening too long to that one! LOL! I think I must be on the same account. I'm at MQ, too, and I have a psych doc like that. I also have a GI doctor that is exactly the same. I used to cry when I got him. I finally requested samples, and they didn't look any better than mine, so I didn't feel so bad. Now when I see him, I just let my fingers doing the walking. If he doesn't make sense, I can't help him.
Whew, I feel better!
I just unloaded on AHDI in a brief e-mail and gave them a piece of my mind. I was polite, but in no uncertain terms blasted them a new one. Whew!
MT30+ and Whew!
I think I may know why Confused is confused. I think that the first post in this thread by "Whew!" was made by one person and and the later posts by MT30+ were made by another person, and I think Confused has confused the two. Or perhaps I am confused. Or perhaps Whew! and MT30+ are confused. At any rate, I am confused about why Confused is so angry. And again, best of luck to Whew! and/or MT30+. Whateverrrrr......
You have my sympathy. I was afraid of that too, but fortunately there is plenty ... whew! sm
I hope maybe work has picked up for you later today.
My wish is that next year be better for all of us. Happy New Year!
Whew! I just left clinic notes after 4 years..sm.
and got back into acute care. My momentum is back and I feel like I'm part of the medical process again. I guess I just like acute care better. I can never go back to clinic notes. I can't deal with those 20-second charts. Took me longer to get in the chart than to type it. The company I WAS with had such a screwed up demo screen if you made 1 mistake you got put on probation. Just toooooo much for me.
IMO, that is.
Whew! Glad to hear it! Spoil yourself tonight, okay! :-) no message

Finally steady money. whew. Applied and got job at Dept of Law Enforcement entering
They started me way above minimum because of my experience. I was shocked and happy all at the same time.
And of course I'm esctatic to not be wondering how much money I would be getting each pay check. Working on production in transcription now is like playing Russian Roulette.
There's good benes where I going, retirement, sick days, no games with my health insurance. I should have done this long ago.
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm
my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away! I checked and the Type It button is grayed out! I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies. Can anyone please help me ASAP? I am lost without it! TIA
Perhaps you are right. This one is dated today. The original article was on Yahoo today also with
But this article states it would only affect new customers right now. So I am upset over nothing. I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge. I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me. It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc. It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.
Check at a local nursery/garden center for varieties that are bred for your area, then check online
s
Check the connections from where the cable originates to wear it comes into the house. Also check t
had a similar issue with TWC and they had done some upgrades and the modem I had was no longer compatible. The tech knew what the problem was the minute he saw the modem, only it took me about 3 months and threatening to cancel for them to get out here.
Blasted cold out today. It was 104 degrees last week, but it's 40 degrees today with rain.
However, I do like cozy days like today when I don't have to go anywhere. I'm done working, the house is clean, there's chili on the stove for dinner already, and I'm just putzing around. I think I'll go bake some jalapeno cheese bread to go with the chili.
No brainer here. Stop payment on first check before you issue 2nd check.
:+
I have had a check bounce over a boo-boo in the check book...NOT A DEADBEAT!!

DID you check with Social Security& does your son receive a check???
Go to SSA.gov and research the payee options. You may have to use the search engine, but your answer to this particular issue should be there.
I am disabled and while my kids were minors, I had to fill out a form each year on how I, as the payee spent each and every penny of the money they received. I don't see how his mother can justify how she spent his money for things that you normally would pay.
That said, he is getting Social Security right? Is your son receiving a dependent check? Under law, if a parent is disabled and has minor children, each and every one of those children also receive a check until they turn 18 or graduate from high school, which ever comes first.
The check is a percentage of your husbands, so for 800.00, your son should receive at least 350.00. If you have not been getting this, they would pro-rate it back to when your husbands disability started and that in itself, could solve a lot of your financial problems. You can also find this out on their website, HTH
no - don't check out wildblue. check out hughesnet. sm
i was on wildblue. i absolutely HATED it. i paid $400 for install and equipment and bill was $51.51 a month for smallest plan. no bills, had to be direct debit from credit card or bank. wasn't a lot faster than dial up and i frequently went over my download limit so i had to upgrade to the $80/mo plan. speed was no faster on their "fastest plan". they had a 1-yr contract and only 1-yr warranty. well 20 days (kid you not) out of warranty my tria (the eye on the dish) went out and it cost me a total of $275 for replacement and tech call (had to wait a week and a half before tech could come and then he no showed and rescheduled for the next day stating he didn't have the equipment he needed to fix me and the repair order had been in for over a week by that time. no call to say he wasn't coming either, just no showed). they TRIED to sell me the entire package all over again to get me locked into another 1-yr contract and i declined. it was best in their book so your warranty and equipment would be "new". i had to tell them for 5 months to change which credit card to debit from, never could get it right. had to tell them for 3 months when my phone number changed. i could not wait until the day my 1-yr contract was over. have heard really good things about hughesnet. i think it is a tad more a month, but supposedly a lot faster than wildblue and not near as many problems from what i have heard from others. wildblue was down for an entire week at one point throughout the year i was on it. always got lost signals and page cannot be found multiple, multiple times throughout the day. i used wildblue with VPN (with transtech) and could not keep a connection enough to get a decent line count as i was dropping signals too much and it did slow it way down. i finally got clinic work rather than acute care where time and speed wasn't a factor. research message boards for complaints about wildblue and hughesnet before deciding. also hughesnet i think told me a 2-yr warranty rather than only the 1-yr with wildblue.
Check the classified board here and check
E-bay. Some companies will provide them for free or a small rental fee.
I am going to see it today!!

Usually twice a day for about 10-15 min BUT today I seem
to have been here more. I'm getting behind though and going to cut outta here until I'm done for the day! LOL
Just a lot of information to pass along to some who really seem to want to know.
WE HAD 73 TODAY!
I don't think I'd make it down south. We had high 90s with humidity for 16 days straight and that was bad enough. Glad it is cool again.
Don't buy gas today
e-mail because of the high prices and this a national boycott. Wondering if anyone else received or heard this.
doing well today
Just did 1343 lines in 170 minutes but that includes printing, 24 envelopes, looking up names, getting on here three times, doing 3 E-mails to my subcontractor -- at 0.11 per gross line. So I am happy today.
I got another job! For example today
the cherrypicker on the account is not working for some reason so I'm expected to stop working my other job to cover her butt, but that doesn't happen anymore! MDI plays a lot of games, IMO. I am only staying until I know for sure my other job doesn't turn out like them.
Being out of work on my account happens daily. It probably depends on what account you are on.
Experiences are different for everyone. Good luck.
Today, that would mean
Today and many other days. Personally, I think that this is really becoming ridiculous. I'm a car buff and I'm sure that there are many other MTs who are as well, but, I'm sure that people who don't give a darn about cars don't want to come to MTStars and have to sort through tons of posts on cars.
No difference with pets. I don't own any pets and have no desire to do so. If I want to read about pets and whose leg or thigh they are humping and why...I'd go to a pet board somewhere on the internet.
Please, give us a break.
I had this one today...
DOCTOR: "Please send a CC to her primary care physician. I do not know who that is, but send him or her a copy anyway."
No other reports exist for this patient.
Yes, in my spare time I'm a psychic!
Today was my first day
and I only lost about 250 lines from norm. Real easy to get the hang of, though. (with my notes, anyway :) Good luck!
Today is 6/6/6.
The devil made me do it!
I had one today too
The doctor said he weights 325 pounds which is (and then he kind of hesitated and then said "too much." (he'll usually say which is up or down so many pounds.) At least some of the doctors say something different than the norm.
Had a doc today that...
had a perfectly understandable conversation with one of the nurses after he had logged on to dictate. I was stunned. I didn't think he could ever possibly speak at a reasonable pace. Of course when he was done with the nurse he had wasted so much precious time he had to dictate his note even faster than usual.
Something hit me today . . .
Recently I had to do a lot of paperwork to enroll my youngest in kindergarten for the 2007-2008 school year. They ask all sorts of questions about family history and specifically who has diabetes, heart disease, blindness, etc. Does this not violate the HIPAA laws? Do I have permission to disclose my grandmother’s health problems to the school? Or my mother’s and father’s? I never really thought about it when I enrolled my older child because I wasn’t a MT at the time and I never really had knowledge about HIPAA in those days. What do you all think about this?
Not my day today -- that is for sure!
Living paycheck to paycheck these days with the cost of living being so hight and DH being on disability. Today I get my check in the mail – national company—and it does not have a signature on it! I called the office – of course the payroll department had left for the day – it was only 3 something in the afternoon. I was told to physically mail the check back to be signed and they would return it right away. Why not just cut me a new check and mail overnight? Really sick of this place lately. Never did get any resolution of the 60 odd lines I was cheated out of before only weeks ago. Lost a few days work over the last week because the system crashed. *Sigh* I just started a new job on the side. Hope this one has a better track record.
had one today . . .
it was a discharge summary - he said "the patient was admitted for some reason, I really don't know why". The patient was in for renal failure for Pete's sake.
Exactly! Today is my day off and I'm doing...
the laundry and housework, like I would if I were at an office all week. My work days are for working my 8 hours and then picking kids up from school to be with them. I wish half my family would also understand, not that they bother me during the day, but just at gatherings and such...I don't talk about my work. I really believe it's jealousy, and they wished they would have thought of that years ago. But I do agree, it's hard work to still do it at home, just minus the driving and office crap!
Went in today and they...
do want me to start out PT and then after a time, a month or so, would bring me on board full time, if all goes well. This will be at $15.00/hr. I'm excited--this is not what a lot of you make, I'm sure, but it's more (consistently) per hour than I've ever made before. Keeping my fingers crossed it will work out!
Thanks for the replies!
I'm on rad today, and I did get a bad
dictator. On top of that, on several reports he said oh on the one I just did on so and so, order number so and so go back and put such and such at so and so and then remove line so and so and change to such and such. This is not easy to do on Dictaphone EXText. (Not on voice recognition) ARG! I wanna choke him today! Lots of burps and yawns and sniff, snort, cough, hack, wheeze. He has a cold so it's been a real joy to do his dictation today. NOT!!!!
Thank you. Need to do that today. nm
I'm off today. Want me to think of another
x
What I did today...sm
I had to call Bell South about my internet and DID NOT get someone in Mumbai. First, I thanked her for not being in India, then I told her how I despised speaking to someone in India or some other third-world country about whatever issue I am calling about, then I asked her if she knew that the medical records of American citizens are being transcribed in India, which includes much of their identifying information, and she did not know and did not like it. Next Monday night I am going to bring up the issue at a town hall meeting with one of our state senators and tell him that despite what ole BO says, I LIKE my job and WANT to keep it and do NOT want it offshored!
It's sad that some today consider
manners too much to ask, I agree.
we are not just talking about it more, there is more of it today --
I believe there is a direct connection to the pornography and sexual suggestivity everywhere we turn. I live in a teentsy sized town. I know of one man here who has done 2 prison terms for molestation. Now i learned this a.m. there is another 1-1/2 blocks away, level 3 offender, and yet another moving in across the street...it has always been around, but i am confident there is definitely MORE than ever also.
I can't believe what happened to me today
I was wanting to share this because I can't even believe it happened. I applied for a job at a company who advertizes on this board, took half the test and waited to take the rest, until the weekend. Meanwhile, I got a call for the place and said I did really good on the 1st half of the test and wanted to know if I was going to take the rest. I said I was as soon as the weekend came and I had time because it was the typing part and I knew it would take more time and concentration. She said she wanted to set up an interview with me though for Monday even though I didn't take the rest of the test yet. So I said okay. I took the rest of the test and had my interview on Monday. Tuesday I was offered a job with the company at the top pay level (she said she would recommend me for that job). I put in my resignation with my company and called her back to accept the job. She said thanks and would get with upper management and they would get with me to send me my equipment, etc. Fifteen minutes later, she called me back and said I was not going to be able to work on the level she offered me because my transcription part of the test was so bad and I had too many mistakes. Now, I've put my resignation in at my job and she has really put me in a spot. This just doesn't seem at all ethical, after offering me the job. She has really messed things up for this single mother.
Today's my birthday!!! sm
just though I'd let ya'll know that! I'm 36!!! WooHoo! Gonna be wastin' away in Margaritaville tonight! I've earned it!
