my PS makes typos but I wouldn't trade my PS
Posted By: for any other PS out there......sm on 2006-08-19
In Reply to: I wonder why there are so many folks - in the world of MT who can't...
because my PS (production supervisor) is the most communicative and we all love this one....typos, schmypos - who cares as long as they get their point(s) across to us. They are not MTs nor typists.

Wouldn't trade a second of it.sm
I started out working with quite a cast of characters in a private psychiatric hospital. Never a dull moment. Made a lot more money in the 80s than I do now too.
I wouldn't trade this life for anything!
My husband is almost to his 11th year in the Navy and I have been with him every step of the way. It is a hard life on every member of our family, but if I had to do it all over again, I would definitely choose this way of life. We have so much more than what we would of had if we would have stayed in our "one-horse town" in Ohio...And, I don't mean that in tangible goods necessarily. We have friends all over the US and they are friendships that will last a lifetime! It is hard to have our friends leave us or us leave them, but we have so many places to visit when we want to travel! One of my husband's co-workers actually followed us out here to WA after shore duty and is on a different ship than my husband! (My husband does four years on a ship then goes to three years on land without deployments.)
Right now my husband is on a ship, but in February we are due to move to PA so that he can go to recruiting duty. It's been hard having him deployed for most of the four years that he has been on this ship. The way I got through it was to surround myself with some of the best ladies I could find and kept busy! I've spent holidays and birthdays with them...I've stood on the pier and watched the ship leave port and watched it come in. They have become my family. I have a daughter who is 9 and a son that is 3. They are well adjusted to the deployments because I constantly keep them on a schedule and their mind occupied. Now, that is not to say that they don't miss their dad, because they do....Things are just somewhat easier because of the way we handle things.
I know a couple of my husband's shipmates that have come into the Navy in their late 20's. They seem to be adjusting well and I believe once their time is up they will see it as a positive experience.
Whatever you decide to do just remember that you just won't be thrown into this life, all of you. There are numerous resources out there for military families, you just have to use them! Feel free to email me if you have any other concerns or questions.
Good Luck!
I wouldn't trade my situation for anything. That's exactly what I have. nm

Oh, that makes me sick. I wish I wouldn't have read
You wouldn't believe the excuses we hear, so I think it makes us cynical even when sm
we don't want to be. We have had MTs lie about their mothers dying, husbands dying, even had two that had relatives notify that they themselves had died, all of which were not true.
We get told that someone was in an accident (find out later it was a lie), told that someone's dog had to be put to sleep (felt bad but found out they never had a dog), even told that their father died. She forgot that she used that one the previous year too.
We have had heard about severe storms with power outages when the MT did not know that another MT lives 2 blocks away and told us of sunshine when we asked how she was working through the storm.
We have been told that someone's husband was being deployed, when the truth is that he was not even in the service.
We have been told that an MT's husband beat her up and that she was at the ER right at that moment, but caller ID said that she was calling from home. When questioned, she explained about the "glitch" with caller ID being mixed up IN THE ENTIRE CITY OF SEATTLE.
See what we mean?
Never said people didn't have typos we are all human BUT the mistakes I stated were NOT typos
I probably QA where you work..hmmmmm
It wouldn't load with my Office. Somehow it wouldn't "read" my 2003 Basic, although sm
technical couldn't find anything wrong with my software. They really tried hard. I see so many people that like Escription, I'm sorry not to be able to use it. Hopefully I can get Office Pro on my next machine, and maybe use it then. I could upgrade, but I'm still not sure it would work.
trade
I am having the exact opposite problem, have plenty of work but can't seem to concentrate well enough to do it!!! You do mine and I'll do yours :)
Trade you....
I am all motivated to work today and am cruising the board and doing housework (ug) instead as I am staring at a 'no jobs available' screen on DQS!
Yes, I should have said trade, not job. NM

want to trade? -- sm
This is what I received-- an email from my account manager with an advertisement for Stedman's spellchecker 2009 with a validation code for a "discount." Only thing is, I received the exact same email from Stedman's themselves last week, and an advertisement post card in the mail with the same offer. Too bad I already have the 2009 Stedman's anyway, so none of these are really of any use to me. So, if you really don't want that 5.00, I would be happy to trade with you!
I'll trade with you :)
54 here this morning. 58 inside the house because we forgot to close up the windows last night. Saving the wood and the oil until it really gets cold.
Then it hit 93 by noon, but now it is a comfortable 73 at 7:00 p.m.
We had a very long hot, humid, sticky summer. We still, however, are not looking forward to 5 foot snowbanks, temps of at least 20 below zero and heating oil at well over $200 for 100 gallons. Between end of December and mid-March we use about 700 gallons of heating oil. OUCH! We're backing it up with our woodstove this year, but wood is not cheap either. 
tricks of the trade
I have seen a LOT of posts on here for people asking how to get their lines. Some are having trouble even hitting lower numbers like 1000-1400. I have been working for a long time on a little book of tips, "Maximizing Line Counts: 30 Tips in 30 Days." I started this at the request of my boss who wanted to give it to all existing employees as well as new hires. I am interested to know if there are any transcriptionists who would like to have something like this.
Yes, so trade one addiction for another?

Can I Trade Children - LOL
My daughter is only 12 and it's like pulling teeth to get her to save any money. As soon as she gets some (any amount) it burns a whole in her pocket and boom it's gone. So now I've taken to keeping all the money I give her for her allowance and when she wants something she has to come to me for the money so that way I can make sure she puts some away.
Wish I could trade you the chompers
for the long pausers. I don't mind talking and eating, just keep the talking coming and I'll figure out what they're saying. But the long pauses make me want to commit harikari.
Trade secrets would be -
Trade secrets are kind of like information pertaining to a particular company - for instance, their proprietory software and how it works, or maybe naming specific accounts and how much they charge, things of that nature.
Trade Secret...sm
There are basically three tests of a trade secret:
1. It is information that is not in the public domain, i.e. is exclusive to the company.
2. Its exclusivity is regarded by the company as providing a competitive advantage or some other benefit of value.
3. The company takes reasonable precautions to protect the information.
Within these parameters, a "trade secret" can be just about anything that a company decides it is, including customer lists, business plans, methods or processes of production, marketing strategies, hiring projections, you name it.
tricks of the trade...
ok...so create autocorrect forced entries for words that often trip you up; if 'does' vs. 'dose' is a common error, create "doz" for dose and "duz" for does (or something that works for you). one of my common errors is 'doe shave' for 'does have'; so I created autocorrect 'doe shave' to be autoreplaced with 'does have'; i also created autocorrect 'dzhv' and retrain myself to use it. make sense? another proofing trick i use is to change the VIEW of a document during proofing; it's *amazing* how formatting and text errors "pop" when i switch from 'normal' to 'print' or 'outline' view...i catch things i would have missed had i not changed the screenshot. you can also use search&replace for common format/text errors; you just have to develop the habit of SAVE, SPELLCHECK, SAVE, CHANGE VIEW, PROOF, SEARCH/REPLACE, SAVE, COUNT, CREATE AUTOTEXT NORMAL (IF DESIRED), SAVE, EXIT, ADD COMMENTS, SIGNOFF...i think you'll see your QA improve =)
Wouldn't that mean that you simply wouldn't have to print out everything?
nope, never would trade one minute. nm

Re: tricks of the trade from longtime mt
Awhile back longtime MT offered to share tips to anyone who e-mailed him/her. Has anyone heard from him/her on this as I have not. I've tried a couple times to contact him/her but have not received an answer or the tips, so I was curious if I was the only one who had not. I really was interested.
wow - can we trade? Maryland's rates
are jumping 76% over the next couple of years because our *intelligent* general assembly did a freeze on electric rates since 99, expecting more competition (and thus lower rates). They gave away the baby with the bath water too (sweetheart deal on a power plant). Guess what? Didn't happen and now we're going to be paying out the wazoo PLUS interest to BGE with a "gradual" phase in to the full 76%. Can you say OUCGH!!!
See if you can trade with a equipment company.
another trick of the trade for soundalikes
that's a good idea; but to avoid extra Keystrokes and loss of productivity by deleting the glossary def entry you could also make *mental associations* for soundalikes, e.g. dysphaGia pertains to the Gut vs. dysphaSia pertains to Speech; ILlicit is ILlegal vs. Elicit Evokes; ilEum pertains to Eating vs. ilIum pertains to sItting... well, you get the idea! =)
but no desire to learn a new trade at 58 years old
I agree with this, but I trade off in the opposite direction. SM
Mine are more clear in my distance vision, and I put on reading glasses from time to time when I need them. I only have to do this when the print is very small or when my eyes ore tired. Otherwise, I also like my bifocal contacts. My are made by AccuVue.
I'll trade your friend for my cousin
He charges outlandish amounts to do our taxes. Last year it was over $550. The year before that was a little less 'cause we had a mortgage. We don't have that this year.
'Course he said he tried to squeeze every last penny of deductions he could out of our taxes. He even filed an amended return after talking to DH about taxes at our last reunion. Saved us a few more thousand dollars....but still hurt. I am an employee, gave up IC 4 years ago, but DH is still self-employed.
Yep, that's why MQ is still ALLOWED to trade away daily on the pink sheets!
You don't even know what you're talking about! Just plain old ignorant, but posting away about the SEC. The stocks are still active, being analyzed daily, sold, bought, traded - but on pink sheets. Educate yourself before you post!
Call me strange, but I'd trade a little toot with a "sorry"
over two of my guys. One of them loudly masticates his chewing gum daily into my ear. He can't pronounce clearly because he's rolling the wad of gum around in his mouth so much. The other guy must need to be on Aciphex or something because he does that hiccup, belch, exhale thing. Both just grate on my nerves.
Treating private health information like a trade is wrong any way you look at it.
Let's see how you feel when you've been violated because your private health information was distributed for any and all purposes.
SORRY about the typos!!!! nm
Typos
maybe you had better check your own postings for typos before you pick on someone elses..."so take YOU typos and whining to b a blog..." hmmm. easy to make a mistake, isn't it??? LOL.
Typos
I use spell check all the time, it is part of being a professional. Except, of course, for the test, lol. Obviously, the poster who mixed-up "their" and "there" needs to start using it or, at the least, proofread their posts.
take YOU typos?
nm
typos
hole wheat? gee, I wonder where that comes from??
Sorry for all the typos! nm
Sorry for the typos

Sorry for typos....
I have been very upset today..!!
Typos are everywhere
Yeah, the ditmo that typed the cover spelled it wrong, what is priceless, they fixed the cover of the book, but they left the webpage incorrect.
Typos are everywhere. You will love this one. At the corner store where I live there is a plastic sign that has been there for years. The sign reads, "Florida Lottory" and it has a pink flamingo on it. It was made by the Florida Lottery Commission.
Right next to the incorrectly spelled, "Lottory," they have a poster plastered in the window that reads, "The Florida Lottery has provided over 10 Billion dollars towards education."
Now either that money was not put to good use . . . or someone is lying. oh boy.

Sorry about the typos!
Obviously I still get upset thinking about her attitude. LOL!
Typos above. I know. Just put in 14 hrs. and

sorry for typos-need a nap-nm

Doc is using software to do his own reports that puts the ® symbol after trade drug names and
I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a software program, maybe voice recognition, that does this? (I coudn't access the VR board to ask). This is one doctor in a practice that I transcribe for and I usually do his transcription for him, but the last time I logged into their computer to send them their files, there were reports in his file that I didn't transcribe that have this ® behind the trade names. I want to do a little research before talking to the practice. TIA
p.s. pardon the typos nm
nm
Sorry for typos. Shees! Just
zz
Uh..."take *you* typos???LOL
Now what were you saying about "simple typos?"
sorry for typos. I usually get paid
extra for those at work  but this was JMO and I didn't QA myself 
I know there are typos. I'm not QA and I didn't
proof. My post is a bit disjointed, but I think I got my point across. I tried to represent both sides fairly.
I'm tired - typos ... (sm)
I meant that the government is NOT on our side.
AAMT is not on our side, either - since they came on the scene, conditions for MTs have plummeted. A very few people there have gotten very rich off of MTs, especially newbies. And now AAMT seems to be getting involved with India. (Why am I not surprised?)
Oh, boy! Sorry for the typos...long day! nm
