Fill in the blank: You know you're getting old when....sm
1. For me, when a person I used to babysit from infancy until school age has completed his internal medicine residency and is in a private medical practice.
2. When I get up in the morning my knees and back crack so much that you can hear them at times in the next room (daughter asks "what's that cracking noise" will confirm this!)
It would be just as arbitrary to penalize QA for not being able to fill in the blank. (sm)
The assumption is that all blanks are understandable. They are not.
Classy my ____--you fill in the blank....
--I saw the clip of Walters announcing Jones' failure to return. That was very practiced and classy, I'll hand her that; but then she's had lots of experience and people to help her craft such an announcement.
--I also saw the King show when Jones talked about what had been going on and why she did what she did. I thought that hat was very classy as well. Her being a lawyer certainly helped her craft her statement.
--Overall, I totally believe Jones' accounting of what happened, when, where, why and who knew what and who knew it when. She was quite clear, her timeline precise.
Her reasons for handling her announcement at the time and in the way that she did also made perfect sense if you listened to her closely and carefully.
I was in her situation once--unfairly "let go" and for totally bogus reasons from a large local San Francisco, CA, foundation.
I was told that I could tell anyone at the foundation anything I liked about my departure.
I was in shock at what had just happened, left my supervisor's office, wandered into the kitchen for something to eat/drink.
A co-worker (high level staff) was there and I spoke to him that I had just been let go. We talked briefly, he offered his sympathy.
After he left the room, my supervisor swooped in, telling me that it was not a good idea to talk about it the way I did...blah, blah, blah....she could only have been in the hallway, listening at the door.
Yeah, Walters, et. al. did do what Jones said they did. And the way Walters handled everything did indeed look "classy"--with time, experience, and help, how could Walters go wrong?
Jones told the truth from start to finish on King's show and the View Crew and network couldn't/wouldn't handle it and did not want to face the fall out; and, they didn't want to lose face.
The further complicating problem was that as a public personality, Jones had additional public outlets to tell the truth.
IF Walters had: Simply kept her mouth shut, just weathered Jones' early initial announcement on air that day, deferred all questions of why Jones' contract had not been renewed to Jones' (citing privacy and confidentiality), responding to all askers with a 'no comment', and referring all explanations to Jones'she wouldn't be in the uncomfortable position she is in now. Walters would not have been so exposed, AND she would not have needed to get to Larry King in advance to cover her ____, to explain anything, and trying to look good, thereby maintaining her "classy" reputation.
Yeah, it was a business decision all right, handled badly and then it came back to bite Walters, et. al. in the butt.
Whether you like Jones or not, she chose to tell the truth and, as such, she had nothing to hide. Brava.
DH is dear husband or any number of colorful adjectives preceding husband. (no message)

Fill in the blank time! Today I feel ______ (for me it's good)...sm
Good work day so far, kids will be home from school in a couple of hours and the weather is nice outside.

My dear friends husband has died. He was truly Australia's Rose.

Darn! Darn! Darn! Just think if it paid to post...
some, ah hem, long-winded people would never have to work anywhere else! 
"How dumb am I" to lose a CD-ROM? Oh, about as dumb as the rest of us. nm

Darn right he's still hot.
Darn!
That's the one I was leaning towards . . . I was hoping to learn that it did not interfere with typing. While wearing the glove it is much easier to type on my AlphaGrip, but I am still not speedy enough to use it full-time. I'm getting there though.
I kick myself when I think how I caused my own hand/wrist/arm injury. Trying to resolve my back pain, I rushed into using my inherited recliner, where I had to "reach" to reach the keyboard . . . my arm will never be the same.
I am in the recliner again now  , but I'm spending a buttload of dough to make it happen. 
Darn! And I
hoped this might be the place for me. Don’t want to have anything to do with overseas. Thanks for the info.
darn it....here's something with a little more pep
yep you can be anyway you darn sm
well please and you have the right to say exactly what you like to say. you can scream, kick, pitch a fit, do what ever you darn well please. But your attitude stinks. I never said I loved the dialect or any of it, but it IS PART OF THE JOB that doesn't make me a candidate to go live in another country. I don't care how old you are or how young you are, you are the kind of person with the attitude that makes every other MT that you work with miserable. I have worked with the likes of your kind and its why I chose to work at home for 25 of my 30+ years in this business. The complaining, back-biting etc of people like you make life miserable for every other person around them.
I always kind of thought that if folks like you took the energy that you use being awful to other people and put it into your work, you would make a lot more money!
Darn it, was supposed to go under the

Sorry. I don't set the rates (darn it).

What a darn cute name, from.......
well, darn now my avatar went away
darn right, have no clue!
"Have no clue" is an understatement!!! Not being nasty here -- just stating a fact. I know an MTSO who says when she tries to call physician's offices and gets the manager and explains that she is calling requesting to speak with the person in charge about doing their transcription for them, most often the answer she gets is "What's transcription?" She swears they hire personnel based on a certain part of their anatomy and it's not the brain.
Then, if she's lucky enough to get through to the physician in charge, he is not willing to pay a decent fee. She has apologized to me for not paying me more but told me that on some accounts they are only making 1/4 of a cent after expenses (including MT pay). She said they have to bid low to get the work. She hates marketing now.
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?
How do I get rid of these darn popup ads? nm

DARN TOOTIN'..... SM
Suppose you worked in a department store, or as a receptionist, or even at McDonalds. You were given a specific shift, specific hours... you don't have the option of doing your work at your convenience. For argument's sake, say they gave you a 8-4 or 9-5 shift. Suppose there were very little, if any, customers in the department store or the McDonald's in the morning and you were told you had to work after 4 or 5 to make up for this, or suppose again there were greeters at your receptionist job, or no drivers at your job as a tolltaker and you're likewise told you had to work extra hours beyond your shift, or a policeman and had made no arrests in the a.m. and you had to work after your shift until you did to make up for the slack. Get my meaning? IN WHAT OTHER JOB (I DEFY ANYONE TO NAME JUST ONE, BESIDES HOME MT.... COULD THE EMPLOYER DEMAND THIS? Just name me 1!

I totally understand but if your husband is like my husband... sm
When it comes to something like that, that I usually take care of but for whatever reason I can't, I will tell my husband exactly what to do, but when he comes back - to use your case as a "for instance" - I will ask him, "Did the doctor look at his foot?"
Him: "No."
Me: "Did you ask the doctor to look at his foot?"
Him: "No."
Me: "I told you to have the doctor look at his foot!"
Him: (shrug)
etc., etc., etc.
Your husband may not be like that - I sure hope he isn't. And yes, they should have checked his vitals and checked his foot without being asked. But sometimes you have to be assertive with people. And while my husband attained the rank of major in the Air Force and had no trouble ordering people around, there are times when he should be assertive but isn't. And he is not intimidated by doctors - he started his AF career as an x-ray tech (that's how we met). I dunno....(Rad MT wanders off, mumbling....)
darn it, I missed her getting dissed by the
well darn. I thought I was being wise
in getting rid of credit cards - just down to 1 bank card and 1 store card that I only use when having a sale and we need new clothes and that I have 90 days to pay off without interest.
darn near 31, female, Idaho
Been doing MT for 10 years off and on, the last six years at home.
Taurus the bull. Darn right!
Bull with a gentle forgiving side that is. 
I've done pretty darn well (sm)
with the book smarts!
Don't get so tweaked about a silly label -- having a high IQ just means I process stuff faster, remember more of what I'm exposed to, make more connections faster, and do well at taking tests.
I'm also a really nice person and an incredible parent.
Lots of MTs are smarter than the average bear.
Darn..I forgot to watch it
I saw the first episode and liked it. I wanted to watch it but forgot all about it. Remind me which night that's on?
DARN! I just missed it! Did he say anything good?
?
Darn! What happens to co. if dont sent 1099

maybe just let them fill it in?
It's a long blank for just time ???
I think she has probably just had her fill
More than hate sounds like she has had 1 too many ESLs to listen to. Know 1 plenty, every report time after time is a little much. I csn understand the feeling, some.
Can someone fill me in?
Where is the new site/what transpired?
Its a darn shame, Travolta was a beautiful man.
After the age of 40? Men are supposed to have less fat cells anyways, so he is basically just sitting around eating doughnuts to death. With all that money, get a personal trainer and a nutritionist!
Think it's a result of that darn "vote-for-the-worst" sm
group that is skewing all the results. Wish that site could be abolished.
35,500 a year is darn good money to me!!!!!

If you're trying to fill several
positions, why don't you list the name of your company? If you had a company you wouldn't be on this board trying to get someone to type 3 reports. Why don't you let one of your current transcriptionists type them. YA BIG FAT LIAR!
I MISSED IT-CAN YOU FILL ME IN?
nm
Fill us in, we are in the dark...sm
What are you talking about, I am lost and am a Country fan.
Fill in work
I occasionally do fill-in opticianry work for local eye doctors.
I think that's pretty darn good! I just started VR on Dictaphone
and I'm having trouble breaking 2000. It seems like it would be faster just to transcribe.
We do have our QA fill in names & addresses
All of our clients provide us names and addresses of referring physicians. Our QA maintains the lists, and we only ask that our MTs spell them phonetically. QA then corrects any mistakes.
As far as patient names, some doctors spell them for us and some do not. For those that don't, they get their reports back with their patient names spelled phonetically, and it's up to them to correct any mistakes.
But where in the world do you find someone to fill in? nm
:{
don't care for it. too many fields to fill
in because it seems like the demo's are never there and of course you don't get paid for that, then you have to wait for extra screens to come up before you can select the dr/cc/patient name/etc. there's no way to drop the normals in directly without using the menu, the Expander is more hassel than good. it's straight forward to use but I feel it is a slow process since you can't just start typing without filling in numerous fields.
FILL OUT THE FASA-YOU WILL BE SUPRISED
Make sure you fill out those FASA forms and private colleges want the Profile which helps. When my daughter was applying three years ago to college. I told her that she would have to take out student loans. She was looking into college at 40,000 a year. We filled out the FASA and profile. She is now going to a $35,000 a year college and we are only responsible for $13,000. She is on grants and scholarships. She still is taking out loans because she is a nursing student and her income will be greater than mine and my husband together. My 18 year old who is looking in colleges will have to do the same. I put braces on their teeth, paid for dancing, sports, activities, illnesses that we did not expect. I feel we gave them everything they needed and if they want to go college bad enough they will. My daughter has a 4.0 GPA. She had a 3.4 in High School We are there to support, we pay for car repairs, give her money for clothes etc. She is also on workstudy which gives her $50.00 a week spending money. Don't let the college tuitions scare you until you fill out those forms.
I had to miss it last night..Please fill me in?
I know who got voted off last night, but the radio station I listen to while driving to work was talking about how "drunk" Paula was last night and how she was making really off-the-wall comments. Boy, sounds like I really missed something! Did any of you feel like she was on something or drinking too much?
HA!! This sure would fill her time, wouldn't it?

Have you tried given your life to God. He can fill the void. nm
