Please consider another store, please
Please read about Walmart and how it destroys small town businesses, among other ethical considerations. PLEASE consider shopping elsewhere.
I don't have a store...
I do auctions. I try to be very careful about what I list. I love books and have in the thousands of them, mostly educational material. I have been selling those on half.com for a long time, so my time listed as a member is about 6 years. It has only been in the last couple of months that I really started trying to power sell--everything you can think of--collectibles, books, clothes, my felt sets, shoes, etc. You just have to watch the market and know that what you list will sell (hopefully) so that you don't lose money in fees. I am still learning, but so far I have been very lucky and have made some good sales.

The UPS Store only allows the automatic $100 if you pay
them to package your stuff. I learned that one trying to ship equipment back to my former employer. I wasn't about the shell out even more money for them to box up something that I put back in the company's original box.
I go to Kroger's too, our store here does not do it - sm
though, at least I have never seen it there. Granted most of the time I do the self checkout but when I do go through a regular line I have not encountered it. I really like our Krogers too, I only wish their prices were a bit lower....my husband can easily drop $100-$200 when he goes shopping there.
You can store their reports, but sm
to give them access at their own free will is not the way I would go. Of course, I charge my accounts when I have to search archives. It is a flat rate even if I find the document or not. If I find it, then it is faxed. I have never really heard of letting your client search your files though. In other words, they get a copy of the original report. If they lose it, they get charged again. Right or wrong, I don't know, but that is my method.
Almost any computer store will have them.
I bought a laptop about 5 months ago that has XP, but is Vista compatible. I don't think everything has Vista on it right now because there are still too many problems with it. If you went to any of the big box electronic stores they should have one with XP.
I tell my hubby I have to run to the store,
and he said he would like to see that.....
I've never seen one in a store, certainly not
the chain stores.
Look for a product in the store that...sm
the scout ants will carry back to their nest(?) and eradicate the entire colony. What I used was a product that was a small, enclosed tin thing with a hole in top. It held a poisonous gel. I think there were 3 in a box. Sorry, can't remember the name. Anyway, I never saw ants in the house since using these.
Leaving MQ
A friend of mine left MQ and went back into a hospital setting. She went from barely making 1200 lines a day to over 2000 a day (8 hours). She also went from statuatory with no benefits to all the perks of being in-house including insurance, vacation, 401K, paid holidays, etc. She was also offered after training the opportunity to work from her home which she took. She is so happy.
Leaving MQ?

Leaving this
Hi Romey, you're not alone. I've done this for 20 years and I find I can't even look at it anymore because of some of the things that have happened in the field. Don't know what to tell you to do because I'm searching too. I should have listened to my common sense a long time ago.
Please consider leaving
Your local police department can give you information on shelters or organization that can put you and your kids in a safe place until you get on your feet. If he is abusing you, you must also consider calling the police on him so the abuse is documented. I'm sure you know of the fatalities that happen everyday due to domestic abuse. Please take action. If he is abusing your children and someone else finds out about it and reports your husband, they can arrest you as well for having knowledge of the fact that your kids are being abused and doing nothing about it.
My heart goes out to you. I have a background in counseling and had sessions with women for years who were being abused. It frustrated me to see these women twice a month for counseling because all they wanted to do was talk about how their spouse continued to abuse them but they wouldn't do anything about it. Your kids will always remember what they are going through. This type of environment often scars children emotionally as well as physically. They can grow up to have major psychological issues as a result.
Life is too short to be miserable everyday. He is not accentuating your life in any way. He is taking from you in every way possible. I beg you to give serious thought to removing yourself from this situation. I know it may feel like you are jumping without a parachute but think of it this way...how much worse could it get? Things can only get better.
Take care.
leaving
Yep, I left. It was NOT easy. Some days i did not think I was gonna make it -- but you know what? I left a big farmhouse and live in a small 2-bedroom apartment. But it is near everything - the library, the school, etc. At first my daughter threw a fit......and my son cried. But a month later...everybody is much much happier. Now, when I walk out of my peaceful car to my peaceful door and lay on my rent-a-center peaceful couch -- I think.....God...where is the screaming? How did I stand it that long? No one is mad around here? And my children are adapting perfectly. And I walk in my room, take off my clothes, lay on my bed and grab a book and read...and it is pure joy. Worth every tear. You'll see. All of us..all of us -- we want you to have the peace that you need and that your babies will thrive with. It's tough..but you are gonna make it.
Did she say why she was leaving sm
I know Star and Rosie don't get along. What did she say? I haven't had time to watch in a couple of weeks.

Leaving MT
Fellow MTs, I am leaving our once-esteemed position. I am taking a position as a trainer at a large national insurance company. More money than I've ever made, lots of paid time off plus holidays, and weekends off. It's been 10 years since I've had a "real job" and had not had to work weekends and holidays.
They are playing for my airline tickets, my accommodations, food and car while stationed away from home. I am one lucky duck.
I used to love doing MT, but it has been a challenge for me the past 2-3 years to stay focused. To all of you who still love the job, I say hurray! This is a blessing for me to make this move at this point in my life and I'm very grateful. I intend to enjoy every moment of it.
Bye, all!
Leaving MT
Congratulations on your new job! There is a time and a season to everything in life, and this is your season for change. God bless you.
Leaving MT
You know what? I just cannot do this anymore. My last day was 12/31/06. I am moving in a different direction--not sure what all yet, but I just cannot transcribe any more. After 17 years of listening to doctors chew, and waiting--listening to silence--with my pay rate DROPPING over the years  , not increasing--I have to leave.
There's only a tiny, tiny part of me that feels sad--it's the part of me that was so overjoyed to be able to do this at home and be here when my children were little. I really thought I would keep doing this forever. Recently, though, I just cannot do it anymore! One day I woke up and had had enough!
I am working on some things here at home that I had going. Some home businesses, things I make, etc.
I just wanted to say BYE.

leaving MT
I wish you the best. I know how you feel. After more than 20 years I too will be leaving transcription. Transcription is just not what it used to be.
Leaving MT
I've already left and felt kind of blue but after reading so many posts here, I feel a relief also. No money in it anymore and I have done this for 35 years! Now I'll turn my attention to sewing, selling on E-Bay, whatever, to keep myself active. Good luck!
And, the meat in the grocery store comes
I believe that if you buy "beef" it comes from cows, an animal. I believe if you buy "chicken" it comes from chickens, an animal.
I was a cashier in a grocery store and
he came in to buy groceries for his mother. We were both 17 and married 1-1/2 years later, been married for almost 27-1/2 years now.  
have you tried the library (if you still have one) or the grocery store...
like, lingering, you know? I have been approached many times by men like that...
how about friends, does anyone have a set-up for you, even just for some companionship?
how about volunteering for things, like a food pantry or wildlife center.
of coures, goes without saying to be cautious always when out in public these days...
also, laundromats I always see single guys...
anyone else?
Went there for paint. Brand new store. SM
I asked for specific color and the kid behind the counter starting mixing it. It seemed to be taking a long time, Home Depot takes second, all because he had an old fashioned paint machine where you had to manually put in the colors, not computerized like Home Depot. So why didn't I go to Home Depot? Good question.
Thanks fine for a warehouse store where they don't bag.

I would buy before you go, on-line, Disney Store - sm
The ticket lines were long at Disney, as for buying at a resort, I don't know, we have always bought in advance, granted not on this trip (comped by Make a Wish) Call a resort and ask. As for International Drive, if it is the road I think it is (Hwy 192) (we just got back ourselves) be prepared for tons of traffic on that road, ripped up for construction, and traffic lights every 1/4 mile it seemed too. Going to Disney was not a problem, it was driving back that took a bit extra time. Universal was pretty wild though, first time there for us. You will have a blast!
Put notices up at the grocery store,etc.
advertising homemade pies, cakes, breads etc. A lot of the famous and rich people in this type of industry started off this way. I think it isn't that big, at least not in the smaller cities, but we have people that come into your home, plan a menu with you and then cook so many meals a week. There is also a business that just started near me where you go to their store, they have all the makings for 6 different meals and you just put them all together. One place has cooking lessons for kids and also opens to kids cookie parties and he is doing very well. Work with a caterer prn. I live in a city of about 230,000 and we have events that are seasonal where caterers are hiring dozens of people, with June coming up they will be hiring to help with weddings.
I know lots of people with psychology degrees and none of them are working in their field because there just aren't any jobs.
You don't mention a husband or kids, but if you are young and no responsibilities now is the time to go out on the limb.
None of the above would require a huge time commitment or financial commitment and you could test the waters while still having a FT income. If it took off you could scale back your hours, or try and do both for a while and get your debts paid off and then be in a position to jump in with both feet.
Our local community college has a culinary program. I think it is still largely male dominated, but still lots of females too. I don't know if this is a 1 year or 2 year program, though I think it does require a lot of hours. You could do it during the day and work nights/weekends. It wouldn't be easy, but nights/weekends usually pay more.
If you want it bad enough you'll find a way.

Hi
As in your guestbook to include support html?
In our regular grocery store.

My local store always takes them out. s/m
I've never thought to tip them, and I've never seen anyone else tip either.
By the way, I thought all grocery stores carried out the bags for you.
RadioShack has several sizes of these right in the store. nm
s
Go to a store like Best Buy and Circuit City.
They have several models and you can compare features and play around with them, and also ask questions. One is about as good as the other. Each brand has had lemons. Most all have pretty much the same bells and whistles. It just depends on what you want.
If you are going to use for leisure like downloading music, uploading pictures, are you going to use for work, etc.
I need to store an ink jet printer and keep in case my others die-how do I
go about storing the cartriges so they don't dry out? Can regular adhesive tape be put on the part where the ink shoots out (as they are when new?). Thanks for any ideas.
Foot pedal - does any know of store
My pedal went out on my today, and I was wondering if anyone know of a store (like Office Max or Wal-Mart) that sells these instead of ordering one online and waiting for days for it to come....
Go to the store, get valerian. It is a natural way
to soothe. You may also try St. John's wort. Valerian is fast acting, St. John's takes 2 weeks to kick in. Only problem with valerian, is since it is made with flowers, it has a strong odor. But it will help.
Try to dissociate yourself from your notes. Pay attention to the words and the grammar and edit as you go along instead of paying attention to the stories. As with anything, cognitive therapy helps, but if you go to the library, there are plenty of books on this subject. If you get really anxious, you can take a benadryl now and then, however, this may be sedating, and you can do that if you are finished work for your full shift or until you come back later, so you can rest.
I suggest doing all of these things before addressing such a personal issue with your employer. As a professional, you can solve these things through training your mind, and through healthy remedies. If nothing else, you can always visit a walk-in clinic which is about 70.00 and they can prescribe something but the healthy remedies are just as good and not addictive, IMO. All the best to you! PS: Keep your chin up and thinking positive. You are not the people in the notes. You are you.
Speaking to yourself? Because I'm not leaving here ... :)

My son is leaving for the Air Force
I am so proud of him, yet so worried with the situation the world is in right now. Please pray for him if you would!
thinking of leaving too
My hands are always killing me and i'm not as focused as I used to be. Plus i'm in school and having something going on the side. But I need to keep a full time job, so i've been looking in the local papers in the health care sections. CNAs make 8 bucks an hour!!! Geez, we get paid more than actual caregivers, but my hand pain is so out of control I may have to take a caregiver job or get certified as a CNA or nutrition specialist and take a pay cut.
Um, didn't I say I was leaving?

Sorry leaving address
I have almost five years experience, still probably considered a newbie when I see some with almost 5 to 6 times that much. But I just wanted to email someone who knows more about transcriptions companies than I do at present.
Finally leaving MQ
Finally leaving MQ. Will miss the nice people but not the new changes. Thanks everyong on this board for your help. It's kind of scary to make a change, but what the heck. It won't matter in 10 years.
Finally leaving MQ
If you do not mind my asking, what company was that test for?
Leaving hospital
This is very common actually. Unless the patient has a braclet on that will alert hospital security when she/he exits doors, it is very easy to do.
You know the adage about "hospital security" being an oxymoron? People come and go all the time, as one of the other posters said.
Is your BF's father okay?
Leaving MT field?
I feel for you and can understand all your concerns. I think there are areas out there with great demands like teaching, nursing (get your LPN or CNA to get started in the field), radiology technology or a shorter schooling experience would be for medical coding, though won't be surpised if technology takes that job away too! You can become a certified phlebotomist and get started in the lab work area. These areas are just the tip of the iceberg, but change can be done and is not impossible. Good luck!
Who do you think will be leaving tonight?
I think Kevin.
Am in the process of leaving a job right now, and it's a very
Plan on leaving due to the
pay cut, is just bad timing, was told 11/01 would take effect 12/02. Financially, I am not prepared to make a job change until I receive my income tax refund check. I found it to be very degrading and looks like others did also and did actually quit as of 12/02 because the stats are now backed up 4 days since 12/02.
C-Phone - Leaving mid-job
When using a C-Phone can one leave a job on hold to take a break or leave for a period of time? Or do you have to finish the job before you leave?
I think leaving blanks when you are new...sm
to an account is normal. You have to get used to the account and the doctors.
