I do tapes too for 5 surgeons Mon-Thurs.
tapes I really do Monday thru Wednesday, Thursday my day off but if there are tapes here, I do them and pass on the day off.....
Yep, there will always be the smaller office or the MDs who like the personal touch of us doing personal deliveries, having just ONE MT do their work.....and these guys are all in their 30-40s.....they will not change because I have had them for YEARS..... and they are all within 8 miles of my home....I'm lucky 
Oh yeah, I did 2800 lines last Thurs and I had 10,500 for week to my usual 8K sheesh I'm a

It's Monday
I don't know about the rest of you, but I come here to gain insight, vent, laugh, commiserate, learn, and share. Maybe we can start the week by ignoring the few that come on here to attack, belittle and chastise. Constructive criticism is great as are differences of opinion. Isn't that what this site is supposed to be all about? Name-calling and bullying are what we teach our children not to do. When it happens TO our children, we tell them to ignore it.
Monday was my day too!
Hey all...
Yes, it was a bad Monday. I also was told they were replacing me with a service. She had said that it would be easier with having the same service do the two doctors that I did, and would that be okay with me. It made me sad because yes, I count on that money to make ends meet, but rather than beg and plead, I said okay, and she said it will be a month before changing over. I was just hoping there might be a way I can counter offer and keep this account, but I haven't a clue how I might access the hospital system's dictation as an IC....they are wav files. I do have my Start/Stop player. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I try to believe in the philosophy of when one door closes, another window opens....and that is a good way to think, but right now I am very depressed because this economy and surviving is getting so very tough. Thank you....ps, I have been doing MT for 27 years now, so pretty late to start over elsewhere.
You will have paycheck on Monday 711/05

Try again Monday night.
I'll keep trying.
Wow, a party on a Monday? Can I come?? (sm)
I'll bring food too; I'm a good coo, I swear I am!.
Monday Goals
I thought that it would be good if we use each week as a chance to improve ourselves. We can each set a goal (it doesn't matter if it is big or small) and then we will share it with everyone to get us more motivation to complete it.
Here is my goal for this week:
I will do the dishes at least once this week.
A little background on this goal: I hate housework. I don't want SO to feel like I take advantage of him so I am going to try to make more of an effort around the house.
Anyone else with a goal and background for it?
Monday blooper
It was dictated as Allergies: Sulfones.
I transcribed "Allergies: Cell phones" . . . . until I realized what I'd done.
Somebody beat me with a wet noodle!
It is NOT Monday, darn it!!!!
But it's going to be one of those days! I had a doctor give the date of service as 4-8-05, and now I have one of the very worst ESLs ever dictating a colonoscopy, and he says the throat was sprayed with Xylocaine! Think these guys have been hitting the eggnog a bit early?
Monday - I will lose an account
I just did the stupidest thing. I could cry but it would not help. I will lose this account due to my carelesness and not thinking. I accidentally just erased two "undone" tapes and kept two "finished" tapes. So on Monday I have to tell the doctor and if I were them I would fire me. They have been my account for 4 years but have been patient with me at times through some personal problems -- yucky divorce -- and I do a good job at a very reasonable rate but I would not blame them if they fired me. I just want to take myself out and beat myself silly. But there is nothing I can do right now and so oneward and upward -- I guess. But this will hurt as it is my largest account and I am a small MTSO so I will be out pounding the pavement for something.
Thanks for listening.
Oprah show Monday-have you let yourself go?? sm
I must admit this is me ever since I started working at home 6 years ago. Too easy to do. 6 months since a decent haircut, too many kids to look after and too much work to get done. I thought others might appreciate thesubject matter. Happy watching.
Oops..Monday=money

Monday's season finale
I taped Sunday's show and watched it tonight, and immediately watched tonight's show. I can't believe what Izzie did. I certainly was glad I could buzz thru the boring part about planning the prom so I could get to the important parts. I thought Denny was safe, but not so fast. Very tender how what's-his-name intern picked Izzie up and held her at the end. I'm furious that Meredith and Derek are back at it. She's weird, self-absorbed, childish, ugly, and slutty, so get over her already, Derek! You so don't deserve your wife!
Glad I don't get overly involved in mere TV shows like some people, hehehe.
Thx for the laff on this dreary Monday! :) nm

well, I interviewed for an in-house job Monday
She said by today, Friday, she would let me know if I got the job. She told me I was high on the list of being hired, but she was still interviewing. It is already nearly noon and I have not heard a word. I looked at the job board and the ad for an MT is gone. Is that bad news for me?
Monday night pet loss ceremony
So very sorry for your loss. Here's a great link:
http://www.petloss.com/ceremony.htm
Every Monday, people all over the world remember their pets. You can add your pet's name to their list.
Here is their prayer:
PRAYER: God, Creator of all living things, we ask that as we light our candles, the healing warmth of love will flow into the brokenhearted who are tending their ailing pets.
Give to them Your strength and comfort.
We also pray that the soft glow of light will part the clouds of grief and sorrow to surround our furbabies at the Bridge.
May excitement REIGN SUPREME as wagging tails, ecstatic purrs and flapping feathers feel our gentle touch once again.
May they know the gratitude we hold in our hearts for their faithfulness and gift of unconditional love as they are forever remembered.
We are temporarily separated for only a short while.
The silver cord that connects us through time and space can never be broken.
AMEN.
We were $2.42 on Monday - shot up to $2.99 today and expected....sm
to go well over $3/gallon because of the pipeline distribution problem. The governor has declared a state of emergency and is urging folks to not drive anymore than necessary while they're getting emergency shipments of fuel in.
How's your work load going Monday, January 9?
Just wondering if we are all in the same boat, sinking because of India oursourcing.
I needed the morning entertainment. My Monday will now be a better day!

I believe it is next Monday, the 19th, as the kids have off school for it.
nm
Try the Hewlett-Packard site. On Monday they...sm
had computers with XP on sale.
Monday night- Friday, and either Saturday or Sunday, or both -sm
I usually goof off Saturday (or do very minimal work Friday night and Saturday) and then regret it and have have about 130 minutes to do on Sunday, does not make for a fun day.
Is Monday, Feb 12, President Day? Brain dead this morning. nm

I work Sun.-Thurs. normally and will work on Fridays to get Sunday off if I need it. Works

Ok, thanks. I guess I don't realize the volume of applicants they get. I will call Monday A.M.!!

Monday 8/22. Used to start after Labor Day, but the kids didn't get out until sometime in June.

Holidays
As an IC, can the company require you to work Thanksgiving and Christmas, I though IC set their own schedule?
Holidays
You would rather ruin their holiday than to tell what this man has done, I don't understand. Do you really want your mother married to a man like this? Your excused for putting your head in the sand and ignoring this situation I cannot comprehend. If you had daughters and their stepfather was doing this to them would you not want to know?
Alone on the holidays
I spend most of my holidays alone. Since I'm divorced, and kids are grown and married they have to divide time between Mom, Dad, and in-laws (some in-laws are married, some are divorced). It just makes it all easier. I have Christmas with my kids a week before, or a week after, the important thing is we ALL respect each other's space.
I won't say its always easy being alone, but its ok. Sometimes I have the big "dinner" with my best friends family, sometimes not. Several times, I've thought about cooking the whole meal and inviting a homeless family or something, but so far, haven't done that (visitors traumatize my dogs, they rule the roost here).
One way or another, Thanksgiving and Christmas are about giving thanks in my book, we don't all have to sit in one room for that to happen. Also, its a good time to reflect and get to watch what you want on TV!!
One way or the other, I hope you (and anyone else who's alone for the holidays) find happiness and peace.
If you want turkey/ham and the fixin's, give me a call!! LOL
To alone for the holidays
If you mean COMPLETELY alone, there are probably some things you could do - and I don't mean transcribing!!! Does your area have a meal for the homeless where you could volunteer? What about at a nursing home, or maybe a childrens' hospital, or a hospice. Check and see if you could bring baked goods, and spend time with people who don't have a choice about being alone. Giving of yourself will make you feel great!
Holidays
Every business has rules about working holidays. If you are an employee, you have to follow the rules to keep the peace. Face it - we are medical workers, and hospitals and some offices like urgent cares stay open. I have put in many holiday hours myself, but usually the manager was flexible and could allow a few people to work 4 hours on either Christmas or Thanksgiving. You take turns. Now I work for an outpatient radiology office, and we close for holidays. With my sister in town, I was able to take off Wed, Thurs, Fri, and then the office was closed on Monday for Christmas. It's my first ever real Christmas vacation from work since 1983.
Holidays...
I've worked many of them for years and still do; in fact, now I volunteer for it. I'm second shift, which makes it easier all the way around, and it's and no big deal. I just get through my shift and tell myself it's just another night, which, frankly, it is. I know I'm truly not missing out on much of anything at this stage of my life and frankly, for holidays like xmass, I actually welcome having to go home and work my shift to get away from family, ha-ha. For my sake, the relatives fix it so we can all have a meal together, then I just go on home. Those nights are usually slow, but you do get through them.
Me too. Plus, sometimes those holidays are
very interesting. Unfortunately for the people who are sick or the accidents that happen, but Thanksgiving and Christmas are the ones where the trauma notes and regular notes seem more interesting. Anyway, for me, it is a good way to get away and tune out the loudness and extremeness of the holiday. Too much food, too much noise. Put the head phones on and either veg (waiting for reports) or type and make money.
Anyone getting "Hung For The Holidays?"
U know, by American Idol's bad singer William Hung?
me too! as if the holidays aren't
stressfull enough, throw in the slap in the face thing called a pay check to ice the cake! I'm looking for other avenues to take....
Happy holidays to you all! :)

Over-commercialized like the other holidays. sm
A lot of guys hate to shop and feel pressured into doing so. Don't know what to buy, etc. Then, there are always other women who brag about what they got just to stress out everyone else. If he buys a card, fine. If not, big deal.
What other companies actually pay for holidays?
It seems that Keystrokes or Webmedx does, or is it someone else.
I do know that are some who pay for holidays. Can someone help out on this question, please.
I work holidays and I am an IC
dont blame it on that
I take my job very seriously and worked all Thanksgiving week, the day of, the day after, and will work all Christmas week, the night before, the day of, the night after, ETc etc etc
I value my job and I do a good job, it just sucks that there is no loyalty or respect for that from some companies.
We rotate holidays among all the
MTs.
I used to work all holidays but came
up with an idea that has worked for several years now. Even though I am on an account with only one other person, I was stuck with all the holidays. I now work Thanksgiving and have Christmas off. All the other holidays we take turns rotating. Good luck to you!
the holidays and working extra
... it happens every year, people want extra money for the holidays and so everyone is working a little bit extra and in the end, we run out of work. AND THEN we sit around during our own shifts waiting for work to file in.
I can understand the Happy Holidays (sm)
If an individual wants to say Merry Christmas because that's their holiday, then I can understand that. However, I also understand sales people saying Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. In the case of retailers, I think they're simply trying to be inclusive rather than exclusive or politically correct. After all, there are many gifts being bought in the stores for the other holidays, too.
You said something to the effect of after all, it IS, Christmas. Yes and no. It is Christmas AND Hanukkah AND Kwanzaa and others. When people try to claim the entire holiday season as theirs, that only creates problems. I think one of the issues non-Christian folks take with this is the arrogance, the attitude that it IS Christmas and I'm going to cram it down your throat whether you like it or not, so there!
It is silly to me that employers of private businesses are telling their people they can't have a "Christmas" party or whatever. If they insist on calling it that, though, I think they should be ready to also have a Hanukkah party and a party for employees of any other religion that wish to have one.
Chrismukwanzika? *lol* but happy holidays nm

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM RADGUY!
May 2006 bring you nothing but plentiful work, easy dictators and lots 'o money! Thanx for listening 2 me this year! 
Well, we have to "volunteer" for 3 holidays a year
I would rather be off, but at least my kids are grown now, so it's not so bad. When they were little, I would not work a holiday, but things were different back then. Oh, well at least it's time and a half.
