be thankful
How about getting a check day? How many of us are two paychecks from bankruptcy...Quitchabitchin...
Thankful MT
And just how many of your wonderkids can actually produce 4000 lines a day?
I'm very thankful (sm)
... and would have just been pleased if they had offered to cover the cost of the test, truthfully!
I work for a small hospital in TX but they are part of a large corporate health system out of FL so that is likely why they offer such a nice increase.
I'm thankful to have a job at all
To my fellow MTs on Thanksgiving Day. A poem that makes me realize how blessed I am to have a job at all in this economy. Even if it's not perfect, it's a paycheck. Hope it touches the heart of all who read it.
BE THANKFUL
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.

I saw HOWIE last night on a late night episode of Blind Date. too funny.
I'm thinking if they are smart they'll boot Rachel. I think she's really smart and a good player. I don't think Howie is all that smart or able to be a winner. I think this could force Howie to hook up with James to go for the final 2.
I was very thankful on an above post
I can take critism and welcome it actually but not the way that poster put it. I have asked for help, in above posts...I misspelled something thats fine correct me but not that way...I am extremely swamped with this undertaking..The researching has just begun..I am not going to waste my time if I can't get enough people on board...I know Homeland Security but am looking further into that right now.....HIPAA was an after thought as an idea...I am researching that now...Yes I meant to be snippy to that particular post..You get back what you ask for...See posts above by enlarge I have had a lot of helpful ideas from people..And they are well received and happily received..Perfect is something I never claim to be..
Be thankful. If they hire more you will
stare at nothing on the screen.
I guess be thankful. It's more than I got. nm

Always be thankful for what you have, cuz things could be MUCH worse! :) nm

I would type it and be thankful I have work.
Eventually you will get good at it. It takes practice. If you start complaining, they may just send you less work.
Oh my gosh, be thankful and learn!
Seriously, since you're fresh out of school and this is your first job, really take the time to learn from Q.A. and don't worry about how long you stay on Q.A. If the QA people are good (as they should be), it's almost like on-the-job training for you, newMT.
Don't beat yourself up over it or second guess your competency. I think all of us here would agree that no matter how long we've been doing MT work, we STILL learn something new just about every day. The fields and specialties (not to mention every doctor's little idiosyncracies, lol!) will take YEARS to get a confident handle on, so don't sweat it.
Welcome to the world of MT and I think the fact you're so conscientious translates into great success for you.
Hang in there, be thankful for a helpful QA team who can help you learn, and don't push yourself too hard/too fast. You're going to be just F-I-N-E.
You will either deal with it or find another job. Be thankful for what you have. Look at the peopl
I'd kill for what you have--- be thankful -- sounds very good to me! - nm

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!

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!!! ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smirlove2.gif)
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. ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/cutelaugh.gif)
Merry Christmas!!!
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

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.
ahhh finally some peace and quiet, thanks!

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!!
. Conjunctivas, (quiet), sclerae non-impaired
I can't figure out what (quiet) should be!!! I know that isn't right, but I can't hear anything else!
I have an MS 2000, too, and really like it. It's pretty quiet and was cheap ($20). I like it
nm
They might not, but I would still get satisfaction knowing I didn't keep quiet about it. sm
And you know AHDI probably has the attitude of "well nobody has ever come to us telling us we're not working for them," or some such thing.
Bose headphone Quiet Comfort 2 or 3 better?
Anyone tried both and have a preference? Any positives or negatives (besides the outrageous price?) I bought the Quiet Comfort 2 in the store after trying the demo model of the QC 3. I thought the over the ear would be better for blocking noise, but I am not certain they are as good as the QC3 (on the ear). I just want a pair of headphones that will block out my kids being home this summer, as I have to work in the dinning room corner and I hear everything. Might try a different brand/model all together because for 300-350 dollars I am not the Bose are worth it. Thanks for your input!
