Yep, that's why MQ is still ALLOWED to trade away daily on the pink sheets!

You don't even know what you're talking about! Just plain old ignorant, but posting away about the SEC.  The stocks are still active, being analyzed daily, sold, bought, traded - but on pink sheets.  Educate yourself before you post!

No one advises buying stocks that use pink sheets. Go back to Mars.

He drenches the sheets sometimes
but last night he was fine, just a little clammy. I guess I'll have to drag him to the doctor, that's a whole 'nother battle ground! His thought is "usually people don't die until they find out something is wrong with them" ....makes you want to smack your head on the wall, huh?

I mean he hasn't been sick, doesn't seem to run a temp (i've checked his a couple of times to see if maybe he was just getting sick) like I said he said he feels fine.

Thyroid issues run in his family though, and so do heart issues.

Thanks for the input!
SE's do not have to submit time sheets.

I agree about Carlton Sheets....
A very good friend of mine got in way over his head, because he had no real money of his own, lost it all and also had a complete breakdown. His wife left him, etc. It was a mess. Real estate investing is NOT for anyone. You really have to be very well off to be an investor. Unfortunately Carlton Sheets is the only one laughing all the way to the bank : (
PINK, THAT'S COOL
I put pink and orange rugs down on my boring tan carpet. So, on pink carpet, why not use orange and tan rugs right?? LOL. Sounds great. I would stay pink all the way!!
Glimmer (Pink)
I purchased that same headset - The sound is great! 
OMG! Just checked my time sheets regarding the post below
about drop down menu having changed for our stats, and the time sheet is JUST LIKE SPHERIS NOW!!!  The poster below is right - there is no more choice of "correction" for editing versus transcription, and there are a zillion in and out boxes to log in, JUST LIKE SPHERIS!!  Bet the new "pay plan" is now here, and we'll hear really soon....The time sheets are ready - just might help if we knew, too!
Car dealerships use dryer sheets in used cars.
After wiping what you can with the alcohol as suggested, put a few Bounce dryer sheets in the sealed trashbag.
Code Pink where I used to work
Code Pink was called whenever a patient went missing. Description of the patient was announced over the PA.

Was kind of interesting seeing everying peeking out of their offices looking for this person!
LOLOLOL!!!! That tickled me pink.

My mother buys me nothing but pink, or pastels

I want to ask her if she actually 'sees' me when I come to visit, i'm very conservative and wear dark colors, but I thank her nicely and keep the things she buys me hung up collecting dust in my closet.  She just doesnt get it. 


As for the slutty clothes wearing, I think girls dress for other girls, its a competion who can look better/sexier.   I would buy them more appropriate clothing and compliment them how lovely or how becoming they look, its up to them to take it or leave it.  The old saying you can lead a horse to water.

Whooo, let's see, PINK, J-LO, BRITNEY AND XTINA!

trade
I am having the exact opposite problem, have plenty of work but can't seem to concentrate well enough to do it!!! You do mine and I'll do yours :)
Trade you....
I am all motivated to work today and am cruising the board and doing housework (ug) instead as I am staring at a 'no jobs available' screen on DQS!
Yes, I should have said trade, not job. NM

want to trade? -- sm
This is what I received-- an email from my account manager with an advertisement for Stedman's spellchecker 2009 with a validation code for a "discount." Only thing is, I received the exact same email from Stedman's themselves last week, and an advertisement post card in the mail with the same offer. Too bad I already have the 2009 Stedman's anyway, so none of these are really of any use to me. So, if you really don't want that 5.00, I would be happy to trade with you!
I'll trade with you :)

54 here this morning.  58 inside the house because we forgot to close up the windows last night. Saving the wood and the oil until it really gets cold.


Then it hit 93 by noon, but now it is a comfortable 73 at 7:00 p.m. 


We had a very long hot, humid, sticky summer.  We still, however, are not looking forward to 5 foot snowbanks, temps of at least 20 below zero and heating oil at well over $200 for 100 gallons.  Between end of December and mid-March we use about 700 gallons of heating oil.  OUCH!  We're backing it up with our woodstove this year, but wood is not cheap either.


tricks of the trade

I have seen a LOT of posts on here for people asking how to get their lines.  Some are having trouble even hitting lower numbers like 1000-1400.  I have been working for a long time on a little book of tips, "Maximizing Line Counts:  30 Tips in 30 Days."  I started this at the request of my boss who wanted to give it to all existing employees as well as new hires.  I am interested to know if there are any transcriptionists who would like to have something like this.


Wouldn't trade a second of it.sm
I started out working with quite a cast of characters in a private psychiatric hospital. Never a dull moment. Made a lot more money in the 80s than I do now too.
Yes, so trade one addiction for another?

Can I Trade Children - LOL
My daughter is only 12 and it's like pulling teeth to get her to save any money. As soon as she gets some (any amount) it burns a whole in her pocket and boom it's gone. So now I've taken to keeping all the money I give her for her allowance and when she wants something she has to come to me for the money so that way I can make sure she puts some away.
Wish I could trade you the chompers
for the long pausers. I don't mind talking and eating, just keep the talking coming and I'll figure out what they're saying. But the long pauses make me want to commit harikari.
Trade secrets would be -
Trade secrets are kind of like information pertaining to a particular company - for instance, their proprietory software and how it works, or maybe naming specific accounts and how much they charge, things of that nature.
Trade Secret...sm
There are basically three tests of a trade secret:

1. It is information that is not in the public domain, i.e. is exclusive to the company.

2. Its exclusivity is regarded by the company as providing a competitive advantage or some other benefit of value.

3. The company takes reasonable precautions to protect the information.

Within these parameters, a "trade secret" can be just about anything that a company decides it is, including customer lists, business plans, methods or processes of production, marketing strategies, hiring projections, you name it.
tricks of the trade...
ok...so create autocorrect forced entries for words that often trip you up; if 'does' vs. 'dose' is a common error, create "doz" for dose and "duz" for does (or something that works for you). one of my common errors is 'doe shave' for 'does have'; so I created autocorrect 'doe shave' to be autoreplaced with 'does have'; i also created autocorrect 'dzhv' and retrain myself to use it. make sense? another proofing trick i use is to change the VIEW of a document during proofing; it's *amazing* how formatting and text errors "pop" when i switch from 'normal' to 'print' or 'outline' view...i catch things i would have missed had i not changed the screenshot. you can also use search&replace for common format/text errors; you just have to develop the habit of SAVE, SPELLCHECK, SAVE, CHANGE VIEW, PROOF, SEARCH/REPLACE, SAVE, COUNT, CREATE AUTOTEXT NORMAL (IF DESIRED), SAVE, EXIT, ADD COMMENTS, SIGNOFF...i think you'll see your QA improve =)
I wouldn't trade this life for anything!

My husband is almost to his 11th year in the Navy and I have been with him every step of the way. It is a hard life on every member of our family, but if I had to do it all over again, I would definitely choose this way of life. We have so much more than what we would of had if we would have stayed in our "one-horse town" in Ohio...And, I don't mean that in tangible goods necessarily. We have friends all over the US and they are friendships that will last a lifetime! It is hard to have our friends leave us or us leave them, but we have so many places to visit when we want to travel! One of my husband's co-workers actually followed us out here to WA after shore duty and is on a different ship than my husband! (My husband does four years on a ship then goes to three years on land without deployments.)


Right now my husband is on a ship, but in February we are due to move to PA so that he can go to recruiting duty. It's been hard having him deployed for most of the four years that he has been on this ship. The way I got through it was to surround myself with some of the best ladies I could find and kept busy! I've spent holidays and birthdays with them...I've stood on the pier and watched the ship leave port and watched it come in. They have become my family. I have a daughter who is 9 and a son that is 3. They are well adjusted to the deployments because I constantly keep them on a schedule and their mind occupied. Now, that is not to say that they don't miss their dad, because they do....Things are just somewhat easier because of the way we handle things.


I know a couple of my husband's shipmates that have come into the Navy in their late 20's. They seem to be adjusting well and I believe once their time is up they will see it as a positive experience.


Whatever you decide to do just remember that you just won't be thrown into this life, all of you. There are numerous resources out there for military families, you just have to use them! Feel free to email me if you have any other concerns or questions.


Good Luck!

Re: tricks of the trade from longtime mt
Awhile back longtime MT offered to share tips to anyone who e-mailed him/her.  Has anyone heard from him/her on this as I have not.  I've tried a couple times to contact him/her but have not received an answer or the tips, so I was curious if I was the only one who had not.  I really was interested.
wow - can we trade? Maryland's rates
are jumping 76% over the next couple of years because our *intelligent* general assembly did a freeze on electric rates since 99, expecting more competition (and thus lower rates). They gave away the baby with the bath water too (sweetheart deal on a power plant). Guess what? Didn't happen and now we're going to be paying out the wazoo PLUS interest to BGE with a "gradual" phase in to the full 76%. Can you say OUCGH!!!
See if you can trade with a equipment company.

another trick of the trade for soundalikes
that's a good idea; but to avoid extra Keystrokes and loss of productivity by deleting the glossary def entry you could also make *mental associations* for soundalikes, e.g. dysphaGia pertains to the Gut vs. dysphaSia pertains to Speech; ILlicit is ILlegal vs. Elicit Evokes; ilEum pertains to Eating vs. ilIum pertains to sItting... well, you get the idea! =)
but no desire to learn a new trade at 58 years old

I agree with this, but I trade off in the opposite direction. SM
Mine are more clear in my distance vision, and I put on reading glasses from time to time when I need them.  I only have to do this when the print is very small or when my eyes ore tired.  Otherwise, I also like my bifocal contacts.  My are made by AccuVue. 
my PS makes typos but I wouldn't trade my PS
because my PS (production supervisor) is the most communicative and we all love this one....typos, schmypos - who cares as long as they get their point(s) across to us.  They are not MTs nor typists. 
I'll trade your friend for my cousin

He charges outlandish amounts to do our taxes. Last year it was over $550. The year before that was a little less 'cause we had a mortgage. We don't have that this year.


'Course he said he tried to squeeze every last penny of deductions he could out of our taxes. He even filed an amended return after talking to DH about taxes at our last reunion. Saved us a few more thousand dollars....but still hurt. I am an employee, gave up IC 4 years ago, but DH is still self-employed.


Call me strange, but I'd trade a little toot with a "sorry"
over two of my guys.  One of them loudly masticates his chewing gum daily into my ear.  He can't pronounce clearly because he's rolling the wad of gum around in his mouth so much.  The other guy must need to be on Aciphex or something because he does that hiccup, belch, exhale thing.  Both just grate on my nerves.
Treating private health information like a trade is wrong any way you look at it.
Let's see how you feel when you've been violated because your private health information was distributed for any and all purposes.
Doc is using software to do his own reports that puts the ® symbol after trade drug names and
I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a software program, maybe voice recognition, that does this? (I coudn't access the VR board to ask).  This is one doctor in a practice that I transcribe for and I usually do his transcription for him, but the last time I logged into their computer to send them their files, there were reports in his file that I didn't transcribe that have this ® behind the trade names.  I want to do a little research before talking to the practice.  TIA
File complaints with the Federal Trade Commission, your state attorney general, and the SM

state attorney general for the state The VLC is located in.  I happened to check it out and they have offices in Niagara Falls, NY and in Ontario.  Be sure to forward copies of every thing your file to them.  You can fill online complaint forms at the FTC website and the NY Attorney General's website.  Print out copies of these forms and mail copies of them after you fill them out to the school with a letter basically stating that you have reported them to these agencies and they will be intervening for you on this matter.


I also like the idea of putting cc's on your correspondence to a local news reporter.  And call them every single day until they are tired of hearing from you!


Good Luck!


This is what I use daily

www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/


This site lets you type in three or more letters of the drug, and it pulls up everything with those letters.  It's great for when you only hear part of the drug.


Daily?

Daily work is exactly what the word DAILY means --> work that comes in on a daily basis.  No days pass by without an empty queue.


I must be with the wrong companies then.


And is QA allowed to let her know
about these errors? Or is the company afraid she'll be offended if errors are pointed out? Some people get very upset when they are corrected, so I always wonder if anybody has the courage to pass on corrections to good producers who might go elsewhere if they get offended.
And is QA allowed to let her know...

I've been reading with much interest all the debate going on about QA but this particular post really caught my eye.


As a former MT/supervisor/QA employee in a major MTSO and having differences in the amount of MT training of my staff, which would determine how I would mark a QA error, I also used the "how would I feel" quotient.  Were the remarks I might make be taken the wrong way; after all, I was just trying to "educate!"


I still feel passionately that all employees, MTs and all, should be treated fairly and with dignity without taking into account whether a person might or might not leave.  In today's MT market, sometimes we "step on toes" because we're human, but I would like to think that most MTs just continue to love what they're doing---even in the bad times.  When compassion and yes sheer joy for the job dissipates, then it's time to move on! 


By chance is this MT Daily?
.
Not everyone comes to this board daily!
Are we not allowed to ask questions if they've been asked before? I understand this is the main board but people complain on the company board too if you ask about a company already posted about. Maybe those people can just skip over the posts and keep going, onto another message board preferably! Sheesh.
