    I'm cracking up ...sm
    over how many views your post got!
    Still need help with votes

    I still need quite a few votes to catch up to the leader. Thanks to all who have voted. Here is the direct link to vote http://www.whiznews.com/ycitystarvote.php You only have to give a name and email. They only use this to keep track of voting so you don't vote more than once. I am singing This One's For the Girls. I know I can count on my fellow MTs

    I haven't heard that, but I had another thought. Did you notice that the number that they gave for people to text to get the "ring tones" for their cell phones was 8008. Now I know that the text number for Kat was 5704, BUT her two phone #'s were 04 and 08. AND I watched it again and wouldn't ya know they had Ryan give this info (8008) right before Kat's performance and then had a commercial for it (8008) immediately after Kat's performance. I didn't see it anywhere else in the show. Could this have been pure coincidence or could it have been to subconsciously get that -08 number in people's minds (a lot of KIDS watch this show) and maybe think they could call the number ending in -08 and get ring tones. Would give Kat extra votes wouldn't it.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Kat isn't a good singer...she is. But I do think the producers favor her and if there was ever a ~conspiracy theory~ to consider I think this is a possibility. I haven't posted my thought on the AI message boards because I'm not registered (and don't have time, LOL). Plus I don't want to be called a TROLL since I would only have 1 post. LOL.

    Oh well. Chris will still do VERY well, probably have a more successful career than the other 3 when all is said and done.
    A fellow MT was asking for votes

    post thumbs down votes aren't being counted
    If you've tried to vote thumbs down on the two posts by computerboy advertising illegal downloads of Stedman's items, you'll be interested to know that the forum is instead counting them as "thumbs up" votes.
    A favor please? sm

    You'd be doing him a favor as well.
    By staying, you are an enabler. IN other words, you don't want anything to change. In past times, such as with his parents, there was not information (Oprah shows, tons of magazine articles) available to let people know that staying and bandaides do nothing but allow escalation of out-of-control anger. It's time everyone grew up in that house. Sure, it is scary making a move out of the house but if you both love each other, you'll be back together in a year or two. The problem here is three children who deserve a fresh slate so they can go on to create happy homes without being tainted by their role models. When you are quite old and need your kids to be there (and you will), that is when this sacrifice of comfort (if you want to call it that) will pay off.
    Everytime I think of getting tips on my nails...
    I think about what it would be like trying to type with them.
    Wow - I do the same thing! Works everytime. nm

    You probably did her a favor, Tatum.
    If she can't handle transcription, she should get out and seek other work. We all have to manage our own careers. Good riddance to her, and good luck to you.
    Do yourself a favor & save yourself a ton
    of grief. Get a reputable real estate agent and don't screw with these FSBO agents.  I promise that all they will do is take your money and won't really WORK to sell your house. That's the difference.  A REPUTABLE agent will work their butts off to sell your house.
    So you are in favor of training them to take your job?

    Please do this industry a favor sm
    CHARGE WHAT YOU ARE WORTH AND NOT A PENNY LESS!

    I mean it. The last person I talked to about this has her own company. Clinics she charges 14 to 18 cents a line, depending on the difficulty and the logistics of the office. Nope, does not include printing or tapes, they have to call in, period.

    For hospitals, she charges 22 to 26 cents a line and she gets it. She usually types as many of the OP notes as she has time for and doesn't sub them out because she likes that. Any lines she does herself goes into the corporation at 100% and she pays herself a salary for all her work, not by the line for MTing she does. She has 20 yrs of experience, all of it in acute care.

    She says, DO NOT sell your skills short. Don't try to undercut someone to get the job. Remind these people that they get what they pay for and deliver on every promise, but don't make promises you can't deliver on 99.5% of the time. Incorporating is good, better than not and I know all of the reasons behind that too.

    I wish you every luck.
    Yes--if they get things going in our favor.
    Everybody complains and complains and is so reluctant to act at all.  How many have still not signed the petition or written your congressman or newspaper?  How many complain but don't try to be a part of the solution?  It's free for now so why not? 
    Everytime someone posts a crazy word here...

    I find myself saying it out loud and frankly some of them just HURT--especially that symptomolology one there! 


    Now if we could only teach them to dictate in "text Expander speak:" it would save us all some time!

    No I don't think so. Everytime I see postings about the MT market failing it gets pegged as "n

    I have a gender problem when I type! Seems everytime I get my QA eval I always get counted off

    because I've typed he instead of she or his instead of her.  It drives me crazy!  I always pass with at least a 98%, but I'm always making this mistake and I feel like an dunce every time I see it on paper!


    I know how it happens.  I'm just not paying attention and I'll just forget its a he or a she or I'll forget what patient I'm on and think I'm still on the "the lady with the pelvic pain..." and type she when really it's a he.


    Anybody have any suggestions to help me remember my genders?


    The AAMT is IN FAVOR of offshoring, not against it...do you ever get out of the house?

    Add me to the people who favor at-home work. sm
    There really are a few companies an MT can count on for reasonably good benefits.

    As someone who has no children, no husband, boyfriend, or parents, if you have what I don't, CHERISH IT! The people you love are far more important than PTO! Enjoy the beautiful office your husband made for you. It obviously was done with love. You're a very fortunate woman.

    Don't forget to count your blessings every day!
    I'm in favor of showers for all pregnancies/babies
    Diapers and supplies are always needed regardless of which pregnancy it is. Also, babies are so wonderful; I love celebrating them (and their moms) with baby showers!
    online testing seems to favor BOS2 but..
    my hospital used BOS3. I failed a test recently because I used BOS3 so you can't win.
    EXText word client blank screen everytime I login
    I am using EXText Word Client software with Transnet. I am getting a blank screen everytime I login. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software an upgraded but still errors out the same way. Are there any EXtexters who could help?


    I took offense at that too, but I chose to ignore it in favor of the issue of the post.
    I figured if we made a big deal of that one word the focus would be taken off the real issue.
    It's a small doctor's office so I am doing it as a favor for a mutual friend....
    Nice to do something different every now and then.


    That sounds like an episode of Animal Cops! I'm glad it worked out in your favor. nm

    EXText Word Client - blank screen everytime I give "ok" in the DIS screen

    Thanks your suggestion was very valuable. At a specified time (which the technical side say, when the net speed is very good), it is working without a problem at all (whereas this was half working and half not working before even at this time), but other times, still the same problem exists.

    Actually the blank screen comes every time I give "ok" in the DIS screen (patient details info screen).

    Hear, hear! I agree with Dakota - sm
    The MTSO should be giving feedback to the hospital/doctors who slur, speak too rapidly, etc. They need to pull up their socks! And there's no reason why these doctors shouldn't be given an outline of what is expected from them when they dictate, such as cell phones, chewing food, candy, gum, etc.
    You go by your schedule and have no work. Everytime I get on to work, there is always work.

    i hear you
    That sounds like my husband. If he gets "stuck" with the kids the my job interferes with the family life, but when there are too many bills to pay, I spend too much money. I can never win.
    I am so sorry to hear about your dog. SM
    I know how sad it is to lose a beloved pet.  I have lost many over my lifetime and they all stay in my memory.  My condolences to you. 
    i hear it also....

    i'm divorced and get told 'how will you ever meet someone if you don't leave the house'.


    i also get neighbors asking me to watch for deliveries, let repairmen in, let their dogs out.....just because i'm home they think i'm in front of the tv eating bon bons....when actually i'm posting on this board!!


    I hear you
    Good for you! Couldn't be more proud!
    I want to hear more about this. Seriously.

    Hard to be the disciplinarian without the support of the husband or grandparents.

    Of course, then when they get older and get into more serious trouble as time goes by, it will be YOUR fault for not disciplining them too.

    Same old story around here too.

    Stand your ground mom. Tough as it is, I know. You gotta do it.
    Did you hear or see this anywhere
    else besides on this board?? I haven't heard that - that is very scary. Hope it is just rumor.
    I hear what you are saying.

    My husband is a school custodian for a K-12 school.  My daughter graduated a couple years ago, so I no longer have a kid in school.  There were teachers along and along that I did not agree with, but there are always channels to go through.  There will always be kids who are picked on.  Unfortunately, the parents of the bullies are going to take up for their little angels as well.  One of our first graders held a sharpened pencil to the throat of another student, and made threats to the teachers.  They tried to get the child removed from the classroom and the local board of education would not cooperate.  The teachers walk a fine line.  They are expected to protect all the children, but they are not allowed to do very much with little devils like this.  We had a coach that the parents tried to run off because he tried to teach some of the 16-17 year-old babies some discipline.  I am not talking about slamming them up against the wall.  I am just talking about things like making the guys on the team (heaven forbid) tuck their shirt tails in.  You would be amazed at the little things that can cause such a stink.  I had a teacher tell my daughter she did not agree with my parenting techniques, so it can go both ways. (My daugher was 17) Since my husband works there, I know these teachers.  The teacher is a basically good person, we just had a disagreement.  I was respectful when I talked to her in front of my daughter, and I expect my daughter to behave in a similar manner.  I have noticed that most of the bullies in school have parents that are also bullies.  We have resource officers at the school to help pretect the children.  Unfortunately, these officers have also been called on to protect the teachers from very real threats from students and parents.  While I agree that parents definitely need to know what is going on with their child in school, if some of the parents I know showed up at school every day it would be impossible for the teachers to actually teach classes.  These teachers have to teach the whole class, not just your child.  There is no way they are going to please all the parents and still do their job.  There is also no way on this earth I would be a teacher these days. 


    Where did you hear this?
    Do you have anymore information regarding this?  I tried to look up on the IRS website, but couldn't find anything.  I think that would be great for everyone to donate 1 vacation day, that would add up to a lot!!

    About the Teamsters in LA who said they would take us on. Back last week I believe the question was asked about unions and a reply came back that LA Teamsters were interested in us, but no more details were given. Maybe that should be Monday's job, track them down in LA and see what's up.
