We don't hold people who are guilty long enough as evident in the Idaho case where the sexual
OFFENDER (a very real proven criminal) was given freedom to kidnap, molest and kill one of two children. Then again we have that society reject who TOLD the police he was a sexual offender and would do it again. He was free to kill the little girl in Florida. Now you hear our wonderful system cannot use his confession because he did not have a lawyer present. I see why the Arubans may think we are the pot calling the kettle black.
As for Mrs. Twitty, she needs to appoint a spokesperson before she does any more damage. I don't care how emotional she feels, she really is clueless about what is going on internally in the investigation and she needs to realize this and quit commenting.
Nope, my hubby picked mine up last year and
hopefully his deductions will clear out mine this year.
Is anyone watching Court TV and/or following case of 16-year-old who killed parents.
 My satellite went out during sentencing and just wondered what her sentence ended up being. I was hoping life w/o probation.
Thanks. Just checking out options in case SE does not exist anymore next year for MQ. I dont really
need benefits and dont really want to be an employee with set hours and the amount of hours you can work. I dont know what part time employee will be because it does not exist now but just checking around. Thanks all. Of course, no one knows what the cpl will be next year for MQ either. I dont know how many hours part time employees are allowed to work and still be considered part time or how they monitor that.
Go to NBC10.com - Our local news has "Wednesday's Child" which is a child for adoption.
Every Wednesday they introduce a child who needs a home and a family. There should be some information there as these kids are up for adoption.

Hope that helps!
WRONG! A child that has a fear of discipline = a well behaved child.
I have a beautiful, intelligent 11 year old daughter that hasn't had a spanking in 6 or 7 years and probably only 3 her entire life. She is very well behaved and I get compliments on her behavior constantly. When she does get out of line all I have to say is, "Shall I call your father?" Call it what you want, it works. She respects and obeys me and her father. Why??? For fear of the facing the consequences of misbehaving. Having a total lack of fear or respect for authority is exactly what's wrong with Generation X/kids today. I turned out just fine as did my siblings. Why?? Because my parents took "time out" to bust our a$$es whenever we got out of line.
Is that clear enough for you???
I wouldn't use lower case. I'd use upper case. Don't worry about it. nm

After about age 35-40 everything's picked over anyway.
All that's left are:
1. Some loser that his wife threw out. If someone else didn't want him, there had to be a good reason. I don't either.
2. Some mommy's boy who's lived at home decades beyond what is appropriate. Total head-case here. Cheap, immature, incapable of making a decision without Mom's involvement and approval. No thanks.
3. The fat, the bald, the lazy, the angry and anything else that the rest of the female population considers undesirable.
If you're over 40, get a pet. They love you nomatter what, they're always happy to see you and they're not in need of therapy and/or medication.
it can be picked up and what you are
transmitting or receiving can be monitored by others. hipaa, you know.
They could have at least picked a guy with
nice white teeth, not yellow! Yuck!
eat them now, they were picked eons ago.
why wait?
She picked Steve.

You know, she could have picked better songs
Sure they were done by Elvis, but she could have picked better songs, and she could have done better with the ones she picked. People complain that the guys should have done a Bette Midler week, but I could just see Elliott doing Wind Beneath My Wings, or Taylor doing The Rose...they would just have to pick songs that best suited them from that artist and then just do a great job. She should have tried Love Me Tender.
I think you have picked wisely
because the field for nursing is unbelievable. Having worked at hospitals, doctor offices, etc. I heard from nurses not only the $$$$ salary but the perks that go along with it. One nurse told me about how she got her living expenses covered by 2 doctors vying for her working for them. I have been here for 30+ years so I am not in the same boat trying to raise children, etc. but if I had to do that now I would never be able to live off the salary handed to the MTs now. Good luck!
I picked up the Homedics Shiatsu
neck massager at Walgreen's last month, and it's so relaxing! Eight or ten minutes at bedtime and I fall asleep immediately. For anyone with tense neck muscles, this is a must-have. I've tried the seat cushion too-- nice!
The signal cannot be picked up on wireless if you
even if you DON'T, they can only pick up and use your SIGNAL for access - not YOUR actual online activity. How this fallacy began is beyond me. If your activity could be monitored just because you use wireless then satellite internet would not exist and Linksys would be out of business. Many MAJOR corporations, banks and government entities use satellite internet on laptops for salesmen, traveling employees and others who work out of the office in the USA and overseas. Do you think they would risk it if there were an actual problem? Your Keystrokes are more likely be picked up by spyware, adware, viruses and worms which are prevalent on ALL internet connections. If any MTSO had a problem in the past it is because their own site was not properly secure - it had nothing to do with the type of internet connection. The MTSOs are denying employment to a lot of good MTs just because they live where DSL and cable are not available. All based on what is, in my book, an OLD WIVE'S TALE.
Is there a reason you picked Colorado or was it
nm
I picked up a brochure and it stated that --sm
the student version did not come with outlook 2007, which I happen to like. Guess it will be the next up version for me. sigh.
I have not picked up a book in forever
I go to the Internet for everything I need to know. Keep in mind that you need to find reference sites that are legit, then the Internet is the way to go. In fact, my books are packed in a box and I have no clue where that box is. The exception to that is my Book of Style, and it is a rare use item, as well.
You are not guilty!!!!
Guys like your stepdad are master manipulators and they know exactly who to target. They choose victims who they believe will not tell, who will suffer in silence rather than upset the family. You are guilty of nothing. He is. Is there any group in your area you can talk to, or a counselor who specializes in sexual abuse who you can talk to? This guy will do everything he can to make you feel crazy and make you feel like you’re wrong, he’s right.
Sexual abuse is not just intercourse. It’s touching, rubbing against someone, exposing himself, making very inappropriate comments. So whether or not he can still get it up doesn’t matter...it’s still sexual abuse and you are the victim, not the perpetrator.
Guilty of What? sm
Carrying out her wishes? The last phrase on her tombstone says "I kept my promise" Yeah he is guilty of carrying out her last wishes. This needs to be on political board. I was not very active in politics until this fiasco occurred. When the leader of a free world felt he was a king and called an emergency session of congress to keep a brain-dead woman alive, and it happens everyday, everyday, the king had to make it a political issue for the right. This needs to be taken to the political board. This was just a political move, and right wingers will never see through that. He does not care about a brain-dead woman, look how many, many, 1,000s are dead in Iraq for oil.
What's he guilty of?
I can't believe how many gullible people are out there who have been manipulated by Terri's "poor, poor pitiful me" manipulative tactics.
I guess there are a lot of dumb people out there.
Guilty
I do it too. I actually look forward to working because I can "escape" from the real world for awhile.
Too bad it doesn't happen every single day. :)
Guilty.
I gave up drugs and alcohol already, so I'll allow myself my coffee and cigarettes.
However, I have no problem with abstaining/stepping outside when it comes to folks who'd rather I don't do it around them.
cherry-picked routing to VR and offshore
Ethical to route the work in a systematic way according to the documented processes of your company. Unethical to route work "as you see fit" if "as you see fit" is defined based on who you like and who you don't, as you described above. Tired of hearing the complaining? Get over it and get used to it, because it isn't going to stop and it is only going to get worse.
On what basis to you know that the "paranoid" plotting and speculation about dictation being cherry picked to go to India or VR is unfounded? I notice the natural variation in who is dictating, etc., the true "roll of the dice" as you describe it, and that doesn't bother me.
It isn't that it "has" to be more than just fate. It is more than just fate.
VR and offshore transcriptionists can't handle the tough dictation, yet we know they are being used. Do you think what is being routed to VR and offshore is random, the luck of the draw? I don't.
So I don't know why I shouldn't suspect that if on the average, in an ongoing trend, dictation is getting worse for domestic transcriptionists to a degree that could not be a cooincidence, it means that for reasons other than coincidence, easier work is being routed somewhere else.
I can tell you are comfortable with "the way things have always been," and change makes you nervous, but get used to the fact that whether it has always been this way or not, it is not going to continue to be that way.
Get used to the ideas of MTs standing up for their rights and fighting back or quit reading the complaints and type away in your happy, sheltered world. The status quo is not going to continue.
my supervisor cherry picked the normal
cataract surgeries, normal any other type of surgeries she could using the same illogical reasoning that you have used. That is because she is too incompetent to do transcription.
They offshore so you get the cherry picked leftovers.
Sound quality is lousy. Totally rigid on their schedule. They have the attitude that you should be grateful to work for them.
I'm sorry you feel picked on. Yours was the post I responded too because SM
yours was the one I found to be most unbelievable and in case you didn't notice, I wasn't the only one who found it unbelievable.
Maybe you picked the wrong week to stop

Feeling guilty
Believe it or not your condition is more common than you might think. However, it is very serious. If you do not feel comfortable talking to someone you know then I suggest you speak with someone like a doctor, crisis center or even a local church pastor. Pastors have a lot of connections in the community and can get you the help you need, most times free. I wish you well and please do not think your crazy. Many people deal with stress in very different ways, some are more extreme than others. There is help out there! God Bless.
About feeling guilty
Speaking of feeling guilty, if I hit the lottery tomorrow, I'm going to feel a little guilty that I hit it instead of the poor guy who's worked for minimum wage all of his life, but does that mean I'm going to refuse to accept the prize or give part of it back to the state in which I won it? I don't think so!
I understand what you're saying, and I agree too that she must do what she feels is right. If it were me, though, I'd charge my normal rate, and if the client came back to me with a "WHOA!!", then I might negotiate a "little something" out, but remember .... whether an MT types everything out by hand or does a few clicks and "viola" (sp), she still has to meet turnaround time, which means you'll find her sitting at her desk day in and day out. I personally would not transcribe at substandard line rates just because doctors choose to work smart and use macros because for me to do so would mean I'm not working smart. JMO. 
Guilty about working sm
Hi, My heart goes out to you. The only way my children could be offered a college education was if I worked as well as my husband. We were both working long hours and I know my 8-YO suffered. I worked outside of the home and in transcription. I did everything I could to make up for it during my time off, taking him everywhere I could when I could sneak in a few hours. Don't you know that I'd make plans and have to work (so many times) to keep the account and disappointed him as well. There was one time I had planned a week at the beach for him and the account came in the day I was leaving. I explained my situation to them and asked them to please work around it. They did, but others dropped me like a hot potato. This is a terrible profession for a mom. All you can do is keep telling him how much you love him and you are doing it for him to have a better life some day in the future. Not only was my son able to attend college, but now teaches there. It was not easy. You have to explain, explain that you "need" to work and you're not being selfish. It's a tough enough job (this transcription) and an unappreciated profession IMHO (in my humble opinion). Love him, hug him and try to explain. God bless you for trying. I know how you feel. By the way, you do gain speed after learning an account and it becomes much easier. I have had some awful dictators who no one else could understand, but they "grew" on me and I got much faster and was more in demand than I ever expected. Ask God for help, even if you don't think He has time to answer. If your heart is in the right place, you will be rewarded. Explain that no one can get a decent job today without a degree and you're performing a labor of love for his benefit. Good luck to you and try to enjoy the holiday. I understand what you're going through.Don't give up and things will get better. Don't feel guilty, at least you're trying and you're not lazy.
To: Feeling guilty? From below. SM
Maybe something is escaping me and I don't want to be rude to anybody. I'm trying to understand.
You are an employee who signed an 8-4:30 contract, right? Are the people you are mad about employees, or did your MTSO hire additional IC folks? If she/they did, then that's who you should take issue with.
If these are other scheduled employees who are doing this, you have a choice. You can either do what they do, tattle on them (I probably would), or work elsewhere.
If they are extra IC help, what can you do? Can you make them feel bad about team spirit? I don't think so. Do you think McDonald's feels team spirit with Burger King? An IC is a business owner, in competition with others.
Are the other people employees?
If one is found guilty of it, yes I do. I cannot help
Everyone always has a story and a reason and an excuse as to why they committed their crime.
No empathy from me on it. I expect the law to provide protection for myself and other law-abiding, careful US citizens through many avenues and having a legal record is one of them.
It is a testament to one's decisions, their choices, their consideration for fairness, equality, safety and respect of this country and other fellow citizens.
I back up harsh punishment 100%. A felony on the record speaks for itself.
I'm guilty of leaning (sm)
in towards the monitor to hear more clearly. I don't even know what that means. It's just something I've done for 12 years. ((The monitor is not the doctor. The monitor is not talking to me.)) ;)
pled guilty
I always change it to read entered a plea of guilty or a guilty plea.
Well, I'm probably guilty of giving
more negative than positive feedback not because I don't appreciate good work but just because things are so busy, I only take the time to point out something if the client points it out to me or if i happen to see something that really is wrong. I try to be fair and not nitpicky and only bring something negative up if it really needs to be addressed.
Honestly, I probably don't make it that obvious when I am thinking an IC anymore, I'll just use them less and someone reliable more. A lot depends on their attitude and willingness to work on problems. If someone asks me, though, I will always be honest with them about how I think they are doing. You should talk to your MTSO and just tell her you're wondering how you are doing, whether there's anything she wants you do to do differently, etc.
First , I am a seasoned MT, no need to train, tapes are picked up, i type 'em. and that is about it.
dd
Yeah, that is why he picked Condi Rice as Sec of State. nm
KIK
don't let her make you feel guilty
Kids these days think they are entitled to everything handed to them. So and so has this or that and lot's of kids brag and lie. Just stick to your guns. Mine used to tell me that things had changed since I was a teen but not really, i bought my flinstone mobile from my brother for 50 bucks...holes in the floorboards and all.
Innocent until proven guilty .. except on the web
And apparently if you don't provide a link, that is an open invitatio to be doubted and called a liar? Even without a link, I am perfectly capable of looking into it for myself and I try never to rush to judgment without having all the facts first. It only proves to make me look like a bitter jerk otherwise.
So we are guilty until proven innocent?
And who decides what "bad" things are? The definition of "bad" can change at any moment. Voicing your opinion on a chat forum could one day be considered "bad." Anything could.
I am guilty of clutter though I start out need and -sm
very organized-- though piles are growing in my bedroom right now, total mess. My husband wants a home like those in Good Housekeeping, etc. which will never happen here until the kids are gone, the animals are gone (never), he gets rid of all his antique TVs and radios (about 30-40) (at least 1 -or more- in every room, only 4 rooms are spared--kids BR (2), and the 2 bathrooms)--plus garage is filled with them too. We do a unclutter clean about every 6-8 weeks though it returns fast. Hard to unclutter though with so much space taken up by the TVs--some of which are covered with blankets so that looks real good. But seriously I need to unclutter this house especially my desk area and our BR--messiest room in the house! So I am messy I guess, and he is too though we both want it clean!
I'm guilty of balaning my checkbook sm
or paying bills online. Not a fun distraction but not knowing my checkbook balance is sometimes a bigger distraction. I keep my bills in front of me for motivation and try to keep my book balanced once or twice a week. It really doesn't take me that long.
Agree. No wonder you feel guilty.

Guilty as charged! It is very difficult.
My biggest and best suggestions are to type a specialty that interests you and try to keep up with the report. In other words make it a challenge to diagnose and treat the patient before you're through with the report. I use an online timer set for 45 minutes. I'm not allowed to do anything but type during those 45 minutes. If I'm feeling a compulsion to research something that I found while checking on a word, I write it down and give myself 5-10 minutes between 45 minute sessions to do exactly that. I also take medication (adderall) without it I would be completely lost. I also have to make myself use the interest as little as possible.....too many shiny things to take my attention away. The good thing is that usually ADD people are exceptionally bright and innovative, so I can accurately produce in 4 distracted hours what most can produce in 6-8 diligently working. However, can you imagine what your line count would be like if you stuck to it the whole time??
So, to summarize:
1. Try to find an MT job that interests you.
2. Use a timer to limit your distractions.
3. Take medication.
4. Avoid the internet for reseach if at all possible.
I can relate.....I took on extra work and now my DH just picked a fight with me, and is also winding
the kids up massively as I type this. Totally off your subject but he just dropped on me that he is cutting all contact off from my dad since he recently remarried and intimated that he was leaving me and my brothers nothing in his will......DH also said the kids were not allowed to have any contact with him either. I can get around that and just leave with the kids when he is at work if I have to resort to that. But this is bullsh*t.....I fear if it keeps up I am headed for divorce court. He is getting weirder and weirder about money, though he professes not to care or want it. Then he dropped that when his dad (75) dies his mom (70) was moving in with us.......WHAT! So right now I am hoping that his mom goes first as he will never live with his dad, or that his dad lives another 15 years at least....We had promised my mom she could live with us, but now that she is dead, he says it will be his mother as he has to protect his interests (and the kids....as supposedely all his parent's money is to go to them.....he plans not to touch it). So needless to say I am LIVID, don't want to work right now, am not talking to him though he keeps coming in and ranting more....he has calmed down some but still driving me nuts. He has to stop drinking, that is what it comes down to....much more rational then. But I really think the writing is on the wall and it's scary as I have no where to go now.    
I just picked up a UK account. I need a spellcheck for british medical. Any suggestions?
tia
That is what I'm trying to do. I've picked up some smaller accounts, dropped the national, an
very hard to cut my hours. It takes time learning the new docs and systems, but I'm sure soon I'll be working less (I pray).
Thanks for your thoughts. I should have never gotten used to the bonus $$.
Picked up tapes for years for a clinic. Finally splurged
Drs wanted to try the phone system so I found a used one and it's much easier. Still drop off printed reports but have dictation instantly, especially nice for stat reports. Don't have to wait to pick up tapes anymore. I could see some of my older clients never moving away from tapes, but if you have one that's receptive to it, you might give it a shot. With gas prices now, it's easier to have a few scheduled dropoff days a week and you can always fax urgent documents to staff. I find that the local drs are usually quite loyal to good MTs so that is nice job security. They like the personal touch from someone they trust, not some big chain. My clients even offered to pay for phone system but I bought it so I could write it off.
Well, I am guilty of that. I for one could not picture my hubby transcribing...
he can't even type. Some of us were brought up that a "real man" works as a "laborer" or "executive", not a MT. That was always a woman's job - kinda like administrative assistants category.
Usually, if a man has "nice hands" - meaning not rough, nails manicured, soft hands, he is either a "suit man" or "gay". Can you imagine!
