You had to dig back to the 1970s to come up with

My mom used to do that (1970s) with a black wig - sm
She would wear it a lot when my parents went out. She also had a fall of long black hair. I have them both now, though I don't use them, keeping them more for sentimental reasons now.
I agree. Do you remember the 1970s with a 70% tax rate? Gives me a headache... nm

With short arms, I need chair with shallow seat, good back support and high back. Want arm rests

OK! I'm glad you're back down here. Now don't go back up there and read those evil posts ag
Okay? But I have to leave you now, sadly. Thousands of noble dictating doctors are anxiously awaiting my help with their "dictations"....They're all loading up on chips, drinking lots of soda so they can burp, and then have to go to the bathroom...You know the routine! Off I go to earn some pennies!! But, truly, I am thankful that I have a job! 
PS.. It apparently worked..I heard back and already submitted the paperwork back.
I'm not sure how many people they are hiring but you shouldn't stress too hard over it. Do the best you can.
I would not do them back to back - I have done 2 and 3 jobs at the same time -- all PT - sm
It is possible to do of course but you will burn out fast. Now I do one almost FT (about 30 hours a week) and the other is about 8-10 hours a week-- I still get beat doing that and that is w/o set hours. I find that the older I get the harder it is to work late and I am only 40! But a mid afternoon 30-minute cat nap helps a lot in order to keep going on busy days.
How do you set your computer back 1 day. I messed something up and need to go back 1 day.

Yes, you get back to work now. Go back to
some routine, and it does start to hurt less. I know  And remember, she is still there at work with you. Always will be. I figure at this point I have a whole herd of loved dogs under my desk each day - along with a couple horses, hamsters, parakeets, rabbits...If only I could see them - must be quite a happy zoo! But I know they are all there I sense their love.
Can't anyway. Just get them back. sm
I actually tried to dump a report today, which I never do, because it somehow got into my pool in error (not my area of expertise), but it jumped right back up at me after the next report. So I decided to just do it. I don't know how well I did, but I did it. It was over 150 lines long and took me forever. Lo and behold, 5 reports later, same guy, same type of report 145 lines. Second time around was easier and faster though. The way I see it is that if I get negative feedback, I'll let them know that those kind of reports really shouldn't come my way.
But cherry picking for line count is just plain wrong.
I did, but then I came back to it.
The other jobs I took involved quite a bit of computer use, too. I got tired of the office politics and other garbage, so I'm doing MT again. Now, I prop my keyboard up with a block of wood, although you can use a telescoping keyboard drawer/shelf to do the same thing. I have a habit of letting my wrists rest on the keyboard, so I had to modify it to get my hands into the proper position. It might have helped if I had taken piano lessons. LOL The only time my wrists ache now is if I work too much, which has been the case lately. I don't know if it would be helpful for you to try. I've been doing data entry or some form of computer input work for 17 years now, so I'm hoping carpal tunnel or repetitive motion injury isn't definitely in my future.
Going WAY back here
It's been a long time and I'm not "up" on the lingo, but by reformatting, do you mean you re-indexed?
I would go into whatever function that is where you can re-index all files or functions and do that.
If you still have problems, it might be that a file has been corrupted somewhere. That happened to me on that program a couple times. I'm not sure if it was the dictionary, but something somewhere stopped working right and I had to reload the entire program.
Be SURE to back up your autokeys immediately just in case you have to reinstall the program.
Can I get back to you about this later?
WAY BACK WHEN
It used to be that we were treated as valued employees, treated with dignity, and actually felt like the higher-ups gave a damn about us. Length of service meant something and those who were dependable never had to worry about running out of work. I knew I would be taken care of. Never did we get cheap plastic crap as a Christmas present - we got real, thoughtful presents to show their appreciation for the hard work that they knew we did. It's pretty much like night and day - nobody gives a damn anymore about us. It used to be the only thing I knew I could depend on to be stable in my life was my job. Not anymore.
Yes, they could pay us better back then
because they weren't paying 2 people for one job (speaking of QA here). If you weren't a good, accurate transcriptionist, you didn't have a job.
Way back
I never heard the word at the time. It was fabulous! No turnaround time. I could shop all day and work all night. The service I worked for told me she wished she had 10 of me! Nice? Christmas parties and $100 bonuses! Flowers when a relative died. It was fun!
I think I might even go back further...
I recall using white-out and yellow-out for carbon copies (the REAL carbon copies) which had to be corrected separately. OH my... but I'm afraid I don't miss all that at all! LOL. I think it was okay to use the white-out until a couple years later, or maybe 10? Yeah, I'm old.
And 8 or 9 books? Did they even make that many back then? I can recall having a PDR and a word book that was separated into specialities. Oh, and the surgical word book. It was red. I am visualizing it now.
My form of research was more like finding the chart and going from there. Ah, but that was before production. Remember those days?
I wish I could remember the name of the first word processor I used. It was a mess!! More trouble than it was worth, but on the cutting edge of technology... and I was there!!
And here I am now, an MT dinosaur, getting ready to start using ASR...
Yeah, DixieDew, we have come a long way.
But miss it? Do you remember the noise those Selectrics made? And I complain sometimes because I can't stand the clicking of the keyboard when I have barely audible dictations.
One more thing... and please tell me if you miss this... "Standard" reports that you had to copy type instead of just having them appear on your screen with a few keystrokes. I used to HATE standard reports to the point of tears!
Okay, my ranting and reminiscing is done for now.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane. :)
Come back
That Alice was bad, bad, bad. Are you and "her" coming back tonight though?
I will back you up too
I was told the same about two years ago by recruiter in Midwest. She did not give specifics, but basically said that the full time employees would get priority if the work was low.
I wish they would come back!
No doubt Zipper, Chucky, MQLOVER, and Frankie Boy made this board alive - I would rather laugh in hysterics with their words than to listen to the same ol, same ol'!
By the way, admin confirmed it was not the same person posing as all of them!
You never go back
Truly - once you make the switch, it is absolutely impossible to switch back to a standard. Give yourself a couple of days is all.
I know .....been there....won't go back.
A person can only take so much hurt ......I keep my distance now. Family can hurt you the most because you love them the most. For me, it is easier and less hurtful to pull back and keep my distance. The less I know, the better off I am.
My children and I always were disregarded in a similar manner. We just see some family members on holidays. I tell my kids, mommy and daddy will always remember you and give you gifts...not to look elsewhere for them.
Be proud of your sons..they are real gentleman and not materialistic. It hurts, but guess what, they will be stronger for it.
Hugs and more hugs to you!
Yep, I would back off..
When she's 18, nothing you can do about it anyway. There are lots more important issues at this time of her life, and she sounds like a good kid! My 18-year-old graduated last year, and as soon as he did, he dyed his shoulder-length brown hair completely white and started dressing in all black. It never amounted to anything but an outward appearance, and he's a good kid, too! So try to keep it in if you can, Mom!
BACK-UP
I have a complete back up system of everything I use, computer, transcribers, foot pedal, etc. When I buy a new one I keep the older one for back up. Buy a new computer every three years. It has come in handy when things happen as without them I make no money. Also have a place I can go and work should I be without power. That is just me.
Back at Ya
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to you also.
Better back then
Made way better back then. All used gross line count. Worked for smaller, friendlier services, had better dictators, thoroughly enjoyed work. Made approximately $50,000-$60,000 a year back then. Some days now even hate to touch it because of the way it has become.
going back...
As the other 2 posters said, finishing the dictation and then going back to listen to the blanks works best for me. Most of the time I can hear it then. If I'm really get uptight and frustrated with the job, I'll walk away for a minute or two and come back - sometimes just a "mini break" is all it takes.
really going back
remember the old belts before they even had cassettes? 1967-68 or thereabouts?
How far back do MT's actually go? sm
I have a 1936 medical dictionary that the hospital I used to work at was going to throw out. It's leather bound, but the cover is missing. There is actually a section on using leeches for medical treatment.
Think about it. How far back does MT go? The docs used to write notes and then they had the nurses write the notes, but how far back does the first actual typewritten MT report go? Did they hire someone to type while they talked to them. Someone posted below about an MT that sat in on autopsies to type the findings. Hmmmmm. Interesting.
The old doc I used to work for (with the typewriter) was from the old school and always did handwritten notes until the insurance companies required them either printed or typed. He reluctantly hired a Transcriptionist but this was in the mid-1980's and he was still grumbling about paying someone to type what he could write when I worked there in 1994.
I say run and run now!! Do not look back!
They pretend they are so great to work for, but then lie about pay and screw you over in so many other ways. PLease do not go there!!
You have to keep a back up IC job.
All companies have this problem at one point or another. Going from one to the other is not going to solve your problem. I have a full time job and an IC position.
I strongly suggest you try to add to your pot instead of jumping into another.
way back when
Mine also involves JFK - I was in 9th grade science class when the P.A. system announced his death, they let school out and I ran home crying to my mom! I was so scared, I didn't know what was going to happen. And i also remember our first color T.V. What a treat!
Why did you ask him-- why not just tell him you ARE going back?
nm
Yes, please let her know that you want it back and why.
Hopefully she will be nice and let you have it.
They may not be, but if they all come back
and they're all in one piece feel blessed. Say lots of prayers and let him know before he goes how "mommish" you'll be until he gets back. We love em, but sometimes we gotta let em go. Remember, they're only young once and when he's tied down later he'll appreciate the chances you gave him to be young. My best to you.
Wish I was 38! but went back to
school at age 39 and worked part-time which was actually like 37 to 39 hours, just under the 40 hours considered full-time. Graduated in the top of my class, so it can be done. Good luck to you!!
Back out while you can
We built a house and moved last year and sold our other home. You probably love this new house and are excited about moving picturing where you are going to put your things and/or redecorate, but I highly suggest backing out of the deal while you can, mention this and you will get any earnest money back. I say that because a similar thing happened to a friend of ours and she didn't back down and those "high" premiums will be higher and then when you try to sell you won't get any takers because of it. They legally have to disclose that to you. If you are out any money or there is any problem refunding your money you can sue them. Hopefully you are working with a realtor (they work for the seller believe me). Find a new home to love and call your own. :)
Getting a job back
I am using a Lanier LX-219. I re-recorded a job but did not get the entire job. How do I go back into the system and recall the job using the job number?  Thanks.
BEEN THERE...DONE THAT...CAME BACK
I have been there. Actually, I was pretty burned out. I tried to get back into working outside of my home..I thought I needed a change in scenery, to do something different. I am certified in other areas of the medical field and tried working in a doctor's office and left. I even took up sales for a while and left. Trust me...you will be ready to come back. I did and I am loving it even more than before!! :)
Get back to you all
after I get off work and try these out. Thanks in the meantime.
How do I get back to where I was?
For example, say about halfway down this page I see something I want to read, and then I choose See All Related Messages. When I get to the end of them and I click "Home" or "Main Board" it takes me back to the top of the Board, not to the middle where I was before I decided to read a posting, so then I have to eyeball to where I was before I read the previous post. This is bugging me BIG TIME. helpppppppppp
I had to go back to IE 6, too.

Back Pay
Are you IC? Because if you are IC the labor board will not help you. I have been down this road as well. Labor only helps you if you are employee and have taxes taken off of your check. It stinks because IC people pay taxes too, just at the end of the year. I filed with my attorney general who told me to get a lawyer because get this -- it was a labor issue! The legal fees cost more than the $1,000.00 owed to me and even if a judgement is placed that doesn't mean you will get paid. I was told by my attorney that I could have paid $500.00 to go to court and maybe won the $500.00 settlement (still being out over $500.00) but if the guy filed bankruptcy which he did my judgment would be discharged. I have been out over $1,000.00 for over 2 years now and there is nothing that I can do.
Back Pay
I have a lot of money due to me from a company I worked for last year. They keep promising to pay, but have not yet. Do I have any recourse that you know of to collect? I am not working for them at this time.
i need help, how to even back up
a favorites list. Maybe i'm the only one that doesn't know how to do it. old dog/new tricks-challenged...
But don't be put off when nobody gets back to you with
s
Well, looks like I need to go back
to Links 101. I am putting the link in the URL/Link box to get a clickable link within my post, but did not work for some reason the first time . . .
Trying again, but just in case here it is: (http://www.alphagrips.com)
I really appreciate your getting back to me on this
here it is almost 10:30 and I have spent a good part of the day trying to solve this. Now, my supv. assures me it is on my PC and she should know, having set up the program in the first place. My back is killing me from not only trying to solve this but all the ESLs that seem to swamp the dictation lines on the wkends because I guess your other doctors want the wkends off. UGH!! I am not fooling with it any longer, hubs assures me he will take the computer in Monday morning to get checked out. I need to have some new Spyware of some kind installed so will kill those 2 birds with that 1 stone. Thanks again for trying to think this through for me.
Thanks! Yes I did, it is back to its ole
usual self, did not know I was supposed to clean but someone else walked me through and once again printing. I cannot say enough thanks for all who give assistance.
Yes, but you might get that back when you
file your taxes. That used to happen to my DH when he cashed out his vacation bank. The IRS taxed us at 39% for the "bonus," but we got it back when we filed our taxes because they took too much.
Back at ya!
:O)
