Don't change. I had to change back to cable. SuddenLink DSL stinks! nm

Nay, my back is covered, don't worry about me! nm

don't worry, you may end up getting a call from the hospital to come back - sm
it has been happening a lot lately. Hospitals are getting rid of certain services and taking the work back inhouse and local.
At what age would most MTs like to cut back and just have a nice job and not worry about the money
you make so much and have less stress. Lots of high stress jobs out there but there must be a point where you say I want it easier now. Hopefully those jobs still exist in MTing.
Just 1 in 1 year. No plans to change in the near future.
NOW IT WENT HUGER!!! CHANGE BACK?
oh no. Any idea how to change it back? Everything is gimungus, even my home page font. What a cruel joke. Is that what I get for complaining?
You're right, it's not going to change back to what it was, but
we can still be competitive. Why would medical professionals take the chance of offshoring their patient's medical records if it can be done right here in the US? Competition. That's what our goal needs to be.
What shocks and amazes me is how so many American workers are so willing to just lay down and get screwed instead of adapt by being competitive. Adapting doesn't mean you have to accept offshoring at all.
For those of you who see my point, kudos to you. For those of you who don't, grow a brain.
That's another one -- ALWAYS saying 'go back and change that'
I wish I got paid by what I typed rather than what I send in; one doctor would be paying triple because he always goes back and rephrases what he has said, sometimes while he is saying it and a lot of times at the end of the letter, and I am supposed to figure out exactly which parts to take out and what to change and leave in.
Just ranting - - not expecting miracles; I know I can't change the way they dictate, but I can come here and rant about it!
Times change..including this policy about who is able to post. About a year ago,
this board started letting everyone post job openings, at least to what I can remember. I know at one point if they were India-based/affiliated etc..then they could not advertise but since anymore it is so rampant with companies being associated with India, they started letting them post. I could be wrong but this is what I recall.
LOL! I was just coming back to change that to 1024. Thanks!

Someone please tell me what I need to change in NAV to get the left sided links back for the forums
I found over the w/e if I disable my Norton Internet Security and go to Tools, Internet Options, Delete Files and click on Delete All Off Line Content, and choose ok, I can get the links back on the left (in the blue area) but they won't stay. I assume I need to change something in Norton's Internet Security, but what?? Does anyone know? I have tried lots of things and can't seem to find what it is that will make this a permanent change as it won't stay this way.
Please help. TIA.
I've worked for svl places that said to change it back to 100% before sending, so it must affect
s
Just open glo file in Word, highlight all, then change case and save back
to glo file. Use the Alt key trick to highlight just the column of words, then Shift + F3 to toggle through the change case commands. First save your glossary under a different name so you also keep the original.
Got $$$$ back last year but this year
I have to pay them, sold a property I never lived in but I had enough sense to set aside $45,000 so just waiting on them to send me my WT2s so I can get started.
So you could end up getting more back at the end of the year
if you have your home office deduction, etc.? At least if that happens I can feel like I am making more money doing this! GRR, I hate the IRS!
I did it for a year and have just gotten back
from a 6 week trip, though don't usually travel much now except for weekends and vacation.
I saw them in concert about a year back...
It was at a venue that was tiny, compared to most places anyways. They were on a stage that would spin around. It was so intimate and probably the best concert I have been to. The opening band was awesome too, Lennon. It was mostly just her playing the piano and singing. Awesome, awesome time. And, this is coming from a 26-year-old who loves them! lol
I went back to school this year
In my area both the RN-AD and dental hyg. programs have wait lists, however the dental hyg. wait is like 4 years versus the RN wait being 1-1/2 years. I am just finishing up all my gen eds and I should be off the wait list and into the core program next fall. I am taking extra psych classes to fill my "elective" courses as I was told that hospitals prefer nurses with their BSN to have psych minors, and I'm only in the AD program (associate degree), but I can still list extra psych courses on my resume. I wish you the very best of luck!!!
back in the mid 1980s it was 80K a year.(sm)
I worked with an MT who went and that's what she made.
Not getting back - how much we made gross for the year. nm

Congratuilations! I did a year ago and never looked back!

Happy New Year back at you! Have fun! We'll
be fine, won't we, folks?  Have a good time!
Don't worry about it. In 5-6 years you'll have plenty to worry about!
A 10-year-old is never in a situation where anything can "happen," and they don't understand anything "happening" anyway. At this age they're only capable of "having a boyfriend" because that's what they see on TV - that's what the world "expects of us", to pair up and "like each other."
Her friends aren't talking about adult "things" to do in a "relationship" yet, and she doesn't even have those feelings, hormones, or needs yet so don't worry about it.
At 10, having a "boyfriend" is the equivalent to playing "dress up" or "make believe" and is just "sitting together in the cafeteria" at best.
Plus they move on to a new "boyfriend" in a week, a few weeks tops.
Relax, Mom. The part to worry about is yet to come and I wouldn't want to deal with that again for anything!
Best of luck and enjoy these years while you can.
I have been waiting since I first heard they were coming back last year...
and I'll probably fall asleep before the ending. Happens all the time. 
A study a year or two back was assessing if hormone changes were
Specifically, does LOSS of estrogen cause memory loss in women. Multi-year study, BIG study, lots of subjects.
Upshot? There WAS memory loss happening. It was not due to hormones. Middle-aged women were SO busy and SO stressed and had SO many things on the brain and things to do and places to be and things to remember about spouse, kids, job, parents, extended family, that they were STRESSED TO THE POINT THEY COULD NOT REMEMBER IT ALL! Bah on the hormone theory. We just get full up to our eyeballs of all the things we have to do and something has to give.
Like, spelling the word school or something. No can do, school does not exist in this brain any more, it got kicked out so I can remember to pick up beer on the way home!
Paula just signed a 3 year contract with AI. I can't believe they want her back. She really get

Fine. Be sure to post back here in a year and tell me about her at-home job. nm

I'm 46 and I went back to school this year full time for a BSN...sm
I was worried about because, let's face it, my short term memory isn't what it used to be LOL. Plus the program is ONLY full time. They had 1000 applicants and picked the top 70 of us. If you didn't have a 3.5 GPA, you didn't get in. But I am doing really well in school - after I got past the shock of the first 6 weeks - tons of work- and I am at the top of my class. My husband, bless his heart, is doing all the cooking and we are basically kind of ignoring the dirt. My house will be clean again another day. I am finishing up my second semester, have 3 more semesters for a BSN, and then another 2.5 years to get my masters and be an advanced practice nurse. 41 is definitely not too old! You will have to work smart to save your back but it can be done. Also MT is starting a slow slide out...you would be smart to start your second career now while you still have a job... IMHO
good luck!
I had back pain for an entire year. They did a trigger point
injection and it's gone. I couldn't believe it. I wish I'd found it sooner.
Love to know how far back it goes, was a member for about a year in 1998, we could use $$, furnace b
so its cold here! Actually it broke the 15, the night before we left for Disney on a Make-A-Wish trip for my daughter Jenny....(we had a blast)...got back 2 days ago, it broke again that night (21st). DH got it running again, but the heater guy disassembled it last night and has not returned yet to put it back together and fix it. Luckily we have a propane fireplace or we'd be in big trouble, still chilly though especially since it goes down to 25 at night, brrrr!---so any $$$ if we are included or entitled would be wonderful...but I doubt we will get so lucky since it was so long ago that I was a "member" of AOL. Guess I will just have to work even more to pay for the repair, fun.
Yes, I lost 42 pounds on LA Weight Loss, but gained back 50 a little more than a year later . .
I was on the program for approximately four months and lost 40 pounds. The weight did come off really fast. At the time I was a member, there was a rebate if you kept the weight off for one year. It sounded good, but you had to buy the supplements for the entire year, which by the end of the year added up to a few thousand dollars.
In any case, after I finally lost the weight, I got pregnant with my fourth child. I am now trying to lose the 50 pounds that I gained while pregnant, but my metabolism seems so much slower now. The weight isn't coming off nearly as fast as before. :(
My 8-year-old threw up on the way home from family celebration Christmas Eve, all over the back seat
Then threw up approximately every hour from 10:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. Christmas morning. Not the Christmas I had planned, up cleaning bodily fluids all night. Somehow Santa managed to come overnight, too. My husband, me and the 2-year-old didn't get the bug until last night, it's vicious! Hopefully that's all over now and we can enjoy the rest of our vacation!
Even 4.5 is too low. doctors do not change - they still hem and haw, change, change stuff along wit
It is just not enough for the work. Speech is great on the wrists but you are not just reading what is typed, you are making a lot of changes. I have a hard time doubling a lot of days with all the changes I have to make. Just my opinion.
Change provider vs change to business plan
In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first. It may not be any better. If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential. They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.
Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me. We just had to wait it out. It's a downside of working at home.
change attitude, change life
The first thing you need to change is that defeatist attitude! I know that's hard at times like this, but that's when you need to most.
I won't go into detail, but my financial situation is also at an all-time low, we couldn't even exchange gifts., daughter in hospital twice, & no med insurance)..but then I heard about how much worse things were for others around me this season. Now I'm thankful instead!
Mine are in year-round thank goodness! They've started their new year 2 months ago.

Union diesil mechanic - good pay, great benefits. We swap year to year on who brings home more sm
money.....but I am an IC and he has all the benefits...health insurance/dental that the company pays for, pension plan, 401k, etc. Factor all of that in and he makes way more than I do.
Get out while you can. Things will *never* change unless you change them. (nt)
to cowgirl - Last I knew, last year the job paid $25,000/year no taxes, etc.
The hospital was bombed about a year ago, but not a lot of damage, very minimal damage.

Not only did I finally receive the proper training, but the woman on the advisory board hired and mentored me. I also joined the local AAMT and networked. Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be. A community college will have a good program to include medical language, MT courses taught by local MTSOs, business English, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, etc.
With short arms, I need chair with shallow seat, good back support and high back. Want arm rests

OK! I'm glad you're back down here. Now don't go back up there and read those evil posts ag
Okay? But I have to leave you now, sadly. Thousands of noble dictating doctors are anxiously awaiting my help with their "dictations"....They're all loading up on chips, drinking lots of soda so they can burp, and then have to go to the bathroom...You know the routine! Off I go to earn some pennies!! But, truly, I am thankful that I have a job! 
PS.. It apparently worked..I heard back and already submitted the paperwork back.
I'm not sure how many people they are hiring but you shouldn't stress too hard over it. Do the best you can.
I think he makes $700,000.00 a year, and if they ask him to walk before his first year MQ has...sm
to pay him a cool 1 million dollars. You can check this out at the Medquist website. I think the CFO makes $350,000 a year, and the head of IT makes $250.000 a year.
P.S. This does not include the perks, like expense account, car allowance, sign-on bonus, etc.
Our 16 year old son has been working for a year now to pay for his truck.
He's learning how to sand and do body work and how the engine and transmission go together. My parents didn't buy cars for my siblings and I either. I had a 20+ year old beater car until I could afford to move up to a a newer one.
I see all the nice new cars parked in the high school parking lot every day. It's nice that so many disrespectful punk kids get handed something nicer to drive than what all the teachers drive. Oh, well. Honestly, I think most of them borrow Mommy or Daddy's car or are the child of a doctor who can afford to hand them everything.
Hopefully, my kids will take better care of their cars because they bought and built them on their own. You're not going to grow up to be responsible if you don't work hard for something and expect Mommy and Daddy to bail you out all the time.
Oh, my Dad lectured us on even allowing our child to have a vehicle because Dad didn't have one until after he had worked his way through college, lettered on the football team, got straight As, lettered on the baseball team, yadda yadda. He either walked or hitched a ride. Yeah, well, times were different back then, Daddy-O. LOL At least my kid has the opportunity to work and earn his own car.
IC - 30 hours week, $98K last year. So far this year - 28K. sm
Individual IC - own account(s).
Not me, owed last year, and expect to owe this year- sm
or break even, had more expenses this year. Only owed $200 but still don't want to owe at all. Need to start doing estimated tax payments again so I don't owe! Guess I will get off my butt and do that this year.
Please do not worry about it.
Sometimes, it seems as if we do everything the way we know it's right, but they nitpick about everything we do. I have proved my use of proper grammar documented with my college English books, but they come up with this, "That's how the client wants it" stuff. OK, so why isn't it on my account spec sheet?
I think the trick is to find a smaller MTSO, one who believes as we do style-wise. For example, I learned to use commas quite often. At one national I worked for, it was NO commas period. If you had two independent phrases connected by a FANBOY, you broke them apart into two separate sentences. I worked for two other nationals and a hospital, and they never had a problem with my work. It was just this one certain person at one certain national. You should see some of the other things I was corrected on. I wound up quitting because this person went against everything I learned in my MT course, at college, and in all my years of work experience. This was not a good QA person, and other people on this board have worked with her. (PRINCIPAL vs. PRINCIPLE)
However, the MTSO I currently work for gives me rave reviews. I don't have to relearn everything again. We evidently went to the same school of style! LOL Keep looking. You'll find your fit. It's no fun working in a constantly negative and nitpicky environment.
