in my town if your pool is deeper than 18 inches, you have to have a 3-foot fence around your yard to use it.  I understand the reasoning behind that law, of course, but it makes it difficult for those people who want to buy their kids a bigger kiddie pool.

Chickadee

I work for 2 companies - one as an employee and one as an IC.  At both companies, I was hired to work a primary account and IF NEEDED, a secondary backup account.  Now that time has passed and both companies feel I am a good MT, I find myself covering 12 hospitals in the employee position, and 2 hospitals in the IC position.  In the IC position, I feel fair is fair, as everyone gets to do their areas of specialty.  I love OPs, and they allow me to target those, but I do get plenty of all work types for both hospitals. 

It is the employee position that has me frustrated.  The office prioritizes work and I end up with almost 100% ESL on a daily basis from my backup accounts.  It is frustrating to me to work the backup accounts and keep them current, and know my primary account has 3-8 hours of dictation just sitting there -- because it has far fewer ESLs and the work is given to MTs who can't do the more difficult ESLs and harder transcription that I can do.  I've been told I should feel honored to be so versatile and trustworthy    It feels like bait-and-switch.  I am seriously considering leaving this company.  If I'm told I have a primary account and only work the backups when primary work is low, I expect the company to honor that.  I feel that is where I see honor - when someone does what they say they will do.  If they want to renegotiate, do it up front rather than just allowing it to slowing rewrite and change the nature of the agreement I came on board with.

I feel this is the way most MTSOs are going.  I've let my feelings be known.  We see what happens over the next few weeks.

That way when the slow weeks come around (which they always do in this business), I can actually enjoy it instead of fretting about the money I'm losing.  For the last nine months I've been doing a little weekend account (maybe 120 minutes of dictation for a whole weekend) and stashing the money away and in October I'm treating my family to a week in Disneyworld. You gotta have some kind of reward to work for - otherwise you get discouraged and unmotivated.  But don't try making up the difference in one week, look longer term. 

your OPINION.  It was just a question. Gosh.  Nobody taking a pole on whether or not they want to answer a question either.  Start your own thread about what you want to gripe about....MAYBE there are some other "attitudes" waiting to jump and pounce and turn something simple into an "opinon" session.

Oh, I make about 27K thankyouverymuch.

GEEZ............ GET A LIFE

As I said, I had never encountered this situation before. How could I know what would happen when I posted this?

Number two, you don't see me posting the patient's name, do you, or even my own name so that this post could in any conceivable way be connected to the patient.

My only concern was the patient's privacy. I have worked in-house and I know how many people see x-ray reports, people that you hope are reliable and honest and follow HIPAA rules but I know for a fact not all of them do.

This is exactly why I would not go to the police or for medical help if I were raped unless I were practically dying.

please make sure that Animal Control did not list this as an "incident" so that it may not be used against your dog in the future, even if no charges were filed.  A lot of states have a strict "no bite or 3 bite" policy and would not want this to count against your dog later in life.  My brother-in-law's dog bit a child when it got tangled up in her bicycle wheels (granted she should not have been that close to the child in the first place), so we've learned to be very careful about our animals. 

Let it go. 

It's a teeny little grocery store and their prices used to be off the wall because they were owned by a big grocer (IGA). I never shopped there for anything but meat as it is cut right at the store while you wait or it's fresh in the cooler.

When big Wally World decided to build the Superstore the teeny grocery store decided to buy out from IGA and named it their own market. The prices there now are even cheaper than Wally World and I no longer shop anywhere else. What used to cost $75.00 at the local market costs about $30 because they got rid of the "middle man."

They had to save themselves and they did. I can actually walk there if need be and sometimes I should as the teeny parking lot is usually packed full. The checkout girl (or girls if it's busy) don't wear name tags because we know them. They go to school with our kids. It's like, "Hi Megan, still playing soccer?"

Good for them.

There is something going on from tonight right through until the fireworks on the 4th.  There is a street dance, a bean hole bean supper, a lobster bake and just tons of stuff going on.

Our town is only population 7500, but the celebration has grown to over 30,000 attendees for the 2 hour parade, followed by fun, games, entertainment and music in the park and then fireworks that start at 9:00 and last for hours. It's great fun!

I'm lucky too.  I live just a mile from the festivities, so I'm home for a long time while people are still waiting in traffic. The traffic goes smoothly though.  The events have always been very well organized with our school bus drivers giving free shuttle bus rides.

Happy 4th everyone!

it is the craziest thing I've ever heard in my life, and then asking you to PAY to sit the beta is beyond ridiculous.

For me, the CMT is unnecessary. I have never been without work a day in 25 years. I can work tomorrow if I lose my job today.

I've always said I may not be able to pass it for all I know - it may be over my head. But for me in my life, it is not a thing I've given a moment's thought to in 15 years. Yes, when I was supervisor of transcription at a big hospital, I thought about taking it and was encouraged to do so, but I just never did it.

I don't hold anything against somebody who does take those tests but for me they mean nothing.

It seems I've heard of a website like this before, but just can't remember. Thanks!
