Started first with diarrhea at 11:30, then nausea and by 5:30 couldn't take anything p.o.  By 9:30 there was no GU production anymore and by 11:30 I went to the hospital.  I got 500 of normal saline, 8 mg of Zofran and I asked the doc for a GI cocktail (he did a double take...apparently not eveyone knows about it).  Sent me home in 3 hours with Phenergan to take at home.  I just started feeling back to normal on Tuesday but was still about to work Mon and Tues.

I feel your pain.

in Bethany Beach, DE.  My parents rent the house and my family of 5 and my sister's family of 4 plus Mom and Dad all go together.  The beach is almost in our back yard and there is outlet shopping paradise in Rehobeth, not to mention seafood, seafood, seafood!  Can't wait!

No class. 

It will be interesting to see if she gets any tips ... or will be allowed to. She's going to be starting at $1 over minimum wage but has to pay union dues. She just quit a restaurant job where the business received tips that were to be divied up between the staff. She got lots of tips at her tables that she had to put in the tip jar. She never saw a penny in her pocket from those tips.

Personally, I've never tipped the baggers, but they do work hard!

I always thought that was hilarious.  Some of these doctors are so transparent in the tone of voice and when you get their reports over and over, you can almost tell by their choice of words (and the background conversation when flirting with the nurses) that they're chauvinistics going through middle-age crisis.  Can you see it:

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:   The patient is an elderly 45-year-old female (I only go for young blondes) who is here complaining (I hate whiners) of a migraine headache that has waxed and waned over the past 2 days (must be that time of the month).

PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:  Hypertension, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia (did I say I hate whiners?).

MEDICATIONS:  None.

ALLERGIES: None.

SOCIAL HISTORY:  The patient is currently employed as a secretary,is married (how does her husband put up with it), and currently lives in ___. 

FAMILY HISTORY:  No history of CVA or TIA.  Positive history for coronary artery disease, migraine headaches, and anxiety (now I see where the whining comes from).

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION:  Vital signs:  Temperature 98.6 degrees, heart rate 72, blood pressure 110/65, respirations 20.  Weight is 140 lbs (whatta cow).  GENERAL APPEARANCE:  This is an obese female, well-nourished (obviously) who appears her stated age (not Jessica Simpson by a long shot). HEENT: Face is symmetric (including both of her chins).  PERLA, EOMI. No nystagmus. NECK: Supple (I hate having to say supple when it's as flabby as this one).  No tenderness.  LUNGS: Clear to auscultation.  BREASTS: Symmetrical.  No masses (Not bad for an old woman). ABDOMEN:  (Ughhhhhhhhhh) Obese, flabby, nontender.

Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.  When you hear these dictators over and over with such obvious distaste in their voices you wonder if the patients sense it or if they put on such a good act that the patients don't even realize.

I brought him home from the vet on Saturday.  He was still running a temperature, but it was much lower - 103.  It had been 106 when we took him to the vet.  He was still lethargic, but had started to groom himself.  I have antibiotics I have to give him twice a day, by Sunday afternoon he was becoming playful again and was drinking a lot more and started to eat more.  Today, he is back to his old self.  Attacking my PC wires and walking on my keyboard, trying to get my fingers when I type.

I am so relieved! 

Junior League was like a full-time job sometimes, but I loved it. Now that I have to work, even though it is from home, I still volunteer through my son's school.  I am a school teacher in my previous (pre-MT) life, so I volunteer my tutoring services for children who need the help beyond what the schools are able to provide but whose parents cannot afford to pay for private tutoring. I also know how you felt about being afraid.  I was strangely afraid before I joined the Junior League.  It was just the unknown. But I was SO blessed by being able to help.  Honestly, I am sure that it helped me just as much, if not more, than I helped others.  Go for it.  You won't be sorry.  (Just remember that you have to say NO when you have to say no, okay?  Remember that and you will be richly blessed by the experience!)

the office manager (who does not normally transcribe) dishes out the work, so some days are easy, others are a mix.  So no cherrypicking is possible.  You type up what is given to you, period.  She will alternate the tough one's out so no one person gets him/her all the time unless they want him/her and are used to that doc, or everyone gets a little piece, etc. There are days when I ask for easy work (tired, chemo day, Jen sick, or a lot going on, etc.) but not often, generally I get a mix but they all get easier the more you do them.  I am not working as much as I should be of course, every week is different here so I adjust my limited work schedule accordingly, so sometimes it hard to get better at certain docs.  I used to have a lot of blanks with the Trauma ER unit, but I have been doing that a lot lately and now and very good at it, still a time consuming account but at least I am improving. -----------------------  But I believe the OP was stating she did it to clear out the log, not to make more lines, and only when she was asked to do so.  At an old job I had #s meant everything, everyday we would get report (2=4 x a day) of the backlog, and emails pleading us to work, work, work.  The QA rules sucked  (MQ probably is basing their new plan loosly on this one), however we did not get penalized, just chewed out if you sent in too much work to QA (over 5%, and was 80% ESL), I would imagine eventually fired if you continued to do it. They were a great place to work for until they re-organized....it all went downhill from there.  This is why I prefer smaller MTSOs, it's not all about the #s, yes, they want production too but at least it's not so cut-throat. 

SEs are doing it.  She also told me that it is written in MQ policies

that MQ can let go EMPLOYEES without notice (I'm not saying statutory employees here, I'm saying employees).
