Ah finally some peace!! I guess those
people who kept calling and calling finally decided to give up. Not sure why or what happened, but when I emailed the phone company to tell them what had been happening, maybe they actually did trace it and the people decided to stop. Whatever the reason, I am sooo glad!! Now watch them call- lol!! They were calling 5 times a day. They only called once yesterday. Whew!!
5 minutes to myself, quiet, a shower with quiet and no interuptions (never happens) and fresh air -

AHHH
I am sorry that this post bothers me so much. I went to school for MT, then found it very hard to find immediate employment from home. I worked in a pharmacy for 2 years, then as a medical secretary for 1 year, then finally through a friend, I got a job through a local MT company. I am now working for a national company.
I don't know if you have schooling or not, so this is not directly in response to you personally.
I know a girl who was wanting to get into MT. She did one of the cheapy MT courses, did a few reports, never finished. She wanted to apply at my place of employement. I said that she can apply if she wants to, but they want 3 years experience. She applied, did not do well, and did not get the job. She then asked why won't they just give her a chance? Well, I honestly would like to be a psychiatrist. I wish they would just give me the chance.
My point is that I think this is a hard career, not just a job that anyone can do.
Ahhh, its a joke...
I have a father, son, and BF whom I love and care for. BUT THAT IS TOO TRUE! HA HA HA! That is what makes it funny!
Ahhh sweetie (sm)
I'm SO glad you saw this! Lunch time is perfect. If you need to cry in my ear, I'll be crying right along with you, so don't you worry about that, k? In the meantime, try to rest, & please know there is a light at the end of this tunnel...it might seem a little dim right now, but believe me, it's there
Talk to you tomorrow
JoAnn
Ahhh, that was very nice of her.

Any one have a DVI-115... I need instructions on the keys...ahhh
This sucks... I have one and was going to start part time with a company to use it but when we moved the little sheet on it must have came out, and now I have no directions, and you cannot by parts for them... any help.?
Ahhh..I love happy endings :)
Ahhh, Russell Crowe! Stud muffin.
Ahhh, so you've chosen to work for a service
There are others who are still gaining their own accounts. Sometimes, you have to seek and you shall find. The larger companies and even smaller for that matter are gaining accounts to prove that voice recognition is not the majority. Just because you chose to take less does not mean that everyone in this profession has. So, your opinions are fine for your situation, but to state that everyone's salary and this profession has gone downhill is simply not true. I, for one, have a lot more now than I have ever had in my lifetime, and I have a lot of experience. The in-house position was holding me back. When you get paid per hour instead of production, it seems you get jipped. If you work production and are good at what you do, it is not too bad of a salary. Everyone has a different situation. MTblab is getting out, which is great for her since she is moving into another phase of her life. Of course, she is going to post that it is a horrible profession because she is not happy with what she has been served. Misery LOVES company. You do have a choice in what type of work you take. If not happy, again, seek and you shall find. I am so happy to be , because I make the rules. Okay, I am off of my now. Take care.
You should do as much for peace.
You are rude and immature and obviously not so enlightened. Good luck.
I'm sorry. I was just trying to make some peace.
:(
Peace to you as well. Isn't that what John
was all about?
He didn't care about the money. He just wanted everyone to be peaceful and understand that peace, love and kindness to all mankind was all that would matter.
It's a sad world with all of the hate and anger when there is so much to see and do and be thankful for.
I honestly think that John Lennon would have been absolutely mortifed, had he lived long enough to see all of the hate that has made our world crazy.
Like John said, "All we are saying. . . is give peace a chance."
My hero too, luv him, peace to all.

rest in peace!!!!

All he was saying was Give Peace A Chance...nm
:)
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
may Patsy rest in peace
Thank you for speaking up. I could never understand why everyone wanted to condemn that poor woman. Seems to me that all the people who wanted to condemn her are the sickos.
It is disturbing the peace if they bark incessantly.
We have a bark collar for our dog and bring her in if she's barking. She barks at anyone that walks by, which is what I want because she's our guard dog. Our neighbors aren't so nice. I've gotten to the point where I just lean out the window and yell, "SHUT UP!!!!" I don't like to involve the cops or animal control because our neighbors are the type to retaliate.
Why don't people practice peace and love,just

Maybe for a sense of security and peace of mind. sm
I always feel like good things don't last forever and I need a safety net. Weird, I know, but I always have this fear that if something happens to my IC client, I will fall back to having nothing.
Change is always constant in this field.
Does that make any sense?
"perhaps" poster above is right. Peace and Love will lighten your load. sm
I once worked a summer holiday shift by myself and transcribed something so awful that I tear up when I think about it today. It was the death of a 3-year-old, and I got ALL the 5 dictations regarding the course of this little girl. Give me the "vanity" surgeries on holidays anytime. It is not up to us to make a judgement about who "deserves" treatment, it's just our job to transcribe it correctly. The work you transcribed may have been boring, but that lets your mind drift to loving thoughts about your own family and how you will all be together soon. Like the above poster says, turn your mind to loving thoughts, even for the patient you have prejudged, your heart rate will lower and believe it or not, the day will pass more quickly.
Dana Reeves died last night at the age of 44. May she rest in peace! nmsg

But I do know myself. I am quiet and keep to myself
tragedy. So I'm pretty sure I'd look WITHIN and gather strength and then focus that on my kids and getting them through school. Plus I'd need to so some weight losing/revamping to go looking for another man!
But the "traumatic amputation" thing. I just posted about that the other day on another board, saying my aunt told me when my uncle died it was not like a death, it was like an amputation, because they were so close. Just wondered if you picked that up from there.
It's quiet to me!
I get up way earlier than my husband and our bedroom is right across the hall from my office. He never hears me typing! And the 3 choices of backlighting is awesome! I love the Saitek!! I've had it almost a year and will say the N and D key have white blotches over the letters, but hey, I know what they are! That's the ONLY drawback to this keyboard that I can find. I will always have one!

Conjunctivae, not conjunctivas
quiet
Anterior chamber is quiet? Could it be: Conjunctivae clear, sclerae anicteric, anterior chamber is quiet?
He has been really quiet
for like 2 or 3 days
I think most MTs like quiet
and solitude and are more introverted than extroverted. Most people don't understand the nature of the job and the skill set it requires along with the personality. We are not librarians but we have to have the aptitude and the research skills that most librarians have along with a desire for knowledge and understanding of medicine. People who have to be around people all the time naturally would think people who worked from home and actually liked it were odd. Just look at all the people looking for jobs they can do at home these days. Most people think jobs from home are scams. MT is a legitimate job and for some quite lucrative. No one has it easy these days with the job market the way it is so maybe some people only wish they had MT skills and get frustrated because they are stuck and have to play the people game every day.
I have been there -just say "I'm so sorry" and stay quiet.
a cooked meal sounds great!!! A good time to do that is after the hoopla has died down and she is faced with emptiness. That is when most people think you should be *over it* - she won't ever be. If you are a close friend, send her a card on the child's next birthday and on the 1st anniversary of his/her death. The mother will love you for it. Mention the child in conversation whenever you can, but don't force it.
and p.s., you are entitled to your own feelings, so gripe about anything you want!
Transcribe it and keep quiet. sm
We're professionals. We do our job and we keep any info learned to ourselves. I've even typed reports on family members. Never disclose any info you learn as a part of your job.
You lucked out is all if it was quiet....sm
But most MDs dictate near the unit stations where the nurses and other people are talking loud and seemingly don't care that there is an MD there trying to dictate.
I STILL work for MQ (only on weekends for 9 years and work privately during the week). They quit the *cesspool* stuff and have given us all 3 accounts (possibly more for other people). I sometimes do get a 4th account if all my 3 others are done.
Have a good one!!!
what if your environment is quiet?
anyone have suggestions for headphones that provide the best sound optimization and clarity? i work at home alone in the office in my basement, so i hear nothing from outside and don't have anyone home making noise.
Some just can't be quiet and have to ruin it for others.
I agree.
Just keep quiet. You are griping and complaining. nm

Need a quiet place to work without .
Trying to avoid interruptions in the home.:) Any of you work from an added room or trailer that you turned into an office? Closing the door is not an option. Would need to actually leave the house even if it is to go to a room added on or to a camper in the yard. Wondering if others have done the same thing. I saw in the paper where a company rents out an office for a day, a week, or however long you need it for. Wondering if that would be worth it just to have the chance to work in peace.
Yep, very very quiet town. Not much happening there

Just 3 words: "David, be quiet."
And then you just walk away or change the subject to something like, "DO I SMELL SMOKE?!!
I'm actually thinking "David, shut up." But that not only is not nice, I'm sure there is a "go to hell" card in his "Meet My New Religion" game for that expression.
Goooooood luck
And don't get married because you're going to fry in hell if you don't. Trust me, it only makes more laundry and dishes.
Merry Christmas!!!
lol. If she is quiet during the night, be thankful for that.

Bose Quiet Comfort 2 - now they have a new
version which supposedly is even better - QC3. They are AMAZING. They do block out background noise, though its subtle. And the clarity is amazing! I can hear what the doctor is thinking!
Quiet with a candle burning. Shh....nm

IMHO, you don't want silent...you want quiet. sm
Keyclicks do provide important feedback.
Any reks for a quiet keyboard that has NO

eclipse II by saitek is more quiet than some...
it has some nice features like it lights up different colors. The most quiet keyboard I have ever used was for the MAC and it was from Suntouch - absolutely the best, but you have to really search for it. Have you tried those little flat boards made of plastic? One brand is called brando flexible? I have not been brave enough to try this one but it looks interesting for sure...
It's quiet now. Hope it stays that way...
I thought things were pretty quiet lately, but then again I only spend a short time here checking on companies and the job seeker's board.
However, just start talking about the things you want to talk about like what's for dinner or your trip to Costa Rica. I'm sure someone will join in with you.
I think some of them come here to vent, unwind or have been burned by an employer and want to warn others like you said.
But the catty ones, well that's a different story.
BTW, what's for dinner?:)
Bose quiet comfort 2
Pricey but worth it. Blocks out family's TV noise, muffles sound of vacuum cleaner, makes barely audible dictation clearer.
Very nice, quiet, family beach
except for the biker bars (which are really kinda fun!). Small local market in the square on Friday. Nice beach, good restaurants, close to Daytona and St. Augustine if you are looking for more action.
A little cool for swimming IMHO, but with good weather it's nice to dig your toes in the replenished beach.
Yeah, that's if you're with someone who tries hard to be quiet. LOL
Mine mutters because he can't find something and turns on the lights because he can't see. He finally admitted that he wakes me up deliberately because he doesn't like to be up alone in the mornings. I used to have to make coffee for him and drive him to work at 4:30 a.m. He loved that. I was so tired and cranky because I can't go back to sleep once I'm woke up.
Ssshhh! Maybe if we're all quiet she'll go away!

Do most of you work with some noise on or do you like total quiet?
I go between working with just silence to working with a light radio in the background. Love the radio but wonder as far as being productive is that a good or bad thing. I know music can stimulate your brain and all that to be productive, but in MT I wonder about it since it's such a concentration-requiring job.
I live in a quiet country neighborhood sm
but it is 6 a.m. and the birdies have started waking up. So loud!!
