That's wonderful!  It is very nice when they take even five seconds to wish you a happy holiday season or anything like that.  I've been sick with pneumonia and one of my doc's said in his dictation he hoped I was feeling better and that he would fully understand if I didn't keep my 24-hour return time; he even offered to bring dinner to my home one night for my family.  Another group gave me a nice Christmas bonus and invited me to their office Christmas party.  That is one reason I still like the good ole' fashioned tapes that I pick up and drop off - I get to interact with the doctors and other office staff, which seems to forge a relationship with them.  They realize I'm a human being with a family who works for a reason and that means lots.

Merry Christmas!

Today I went to have my first mammogram and US.  The location I went to was not the office I worked in, but it had the same group of radiologists I had worked for.  As the mammo tech finished her pics and went to see the radiologist, I asked her to tell Dr. R*** hello for me.  (I had already mentioned I'd transcribed for the other office).  She said she would.  After the US, the tech told me Dr. R*** had told her - "Hey, I know that girl!"  And he came running in the door to say hi.  He was all smiles as he came in, and said he was sorry it was under these circumstances (dx mammo), but he was very cute with his enthusiasm to see me.  I was really touched. 

(I do have to have a bx; the studies did not indicate either malignancy or benignancy, but it feels benign). 

last week I bought a new Logitech LX3 optical mouse at WalMart, again under $20, which has a USB connection, but it also came with a PS2 adaptor included.

I don't know where or if you can get a cheap flat screen monitor.  I had to buy a replacement for my flat-screen Acer that died but I couldn't afford another new flat screen.  I got a very large monitor that must weigh about 75 pounds - the thing is just huge - but it was only $25 from a custom computer store here in town that sells used and refurbished computers.  They had a bunch of the big ones piled up in the back room (everybody wants the flat-screens) and they said I could take my pick for $25.  I got the biggest one they had.  It's bulky but I'm really delighted with it. 

did nothing - zero.  An e-card would have at least let me know they know who I am.  My small account sent me a regular card with a small bonus, which I appreciated VERY much.  It took the person a bit of time to send that card to you, so there was some thought that went into it.

I, personally, am happy to receive anything (even an e-card) than nothing at all.

may continue to work if I just load WORD on my old workhorse computer I have here.  And I will be fine.  Oh please lawd, let this work. 

I have lots and lotsa rabbits! 14 to be exact!  I wish there were rabbit smilie faces, or sad faces, or biting rabbit faces.  Rabbits can bite, ya know?? And, yes, they like to make more rabbits! Lots and lots of rabbits!

Yikes, we must have done something wrong because our posts are all gone.   Oh well.  Glad we agree on some things.  As the saying goes, life would be very boring if we all agreed on everything and there was no such thing as opinions.  Keeps life interesting! 

Actually, in my opinion, Frankie boy had me rolling on the floor.  I know undoubtedly some of his remarks were down right crude, but for some reason the people were just responding to him which just kept him going and going and going. 

So glad we understand each other and accept the differences we have.  Have a good day!

i am new to this board and it is refreshing to see nice stories instead of everyone complaining about their jobs.  there is so more troubling stuff in this world besides what we do for work. 

my little brother (he is 31) is going in for brain surgery tomorrow.  the doc found a lesion on his brain last october when he was rushed to the hospital when his girlfriend found him having a seizure in the middle of the night.  he was totally blue and not breathing.  first they said it was a stroke.  the did a repeat scan and the lesion was still there and had not changed in size.  they did a pet and there is nothing anywhere else in his body.  they finally went in to do a biopsy on this lesion a few weeks ago.  they sent the specimen to 5 different pathologists in our area (boston) and no one could identifiy it.  so, tomorrow he goes in to have the whole thing removed with a risk of loosing his speech and hearing. 

things like this make me just get up and do my job.  it makes it very difficult to complain about silly stuff when you hear all these stories.  thank you for sharing your story.  brought a smile to my face this morning (and a tear or two).  i will be thinking of this tomorrow when i'm sitting in the waiting room.  thank you again.
