Good grief people, what;s up with all this drizzle stuff??

I haven't gotten any grief yet....
as these particular ESLs are supposedly the worst in the hospital and I am sure many other MTs are sending their hole-y reports to QA. I am supposed to keep my QA below a certain percent and I do that 99% of the time because I only get these ESLs maybe one day a week, so evidently since I haven't heard from "Big Brother", I guess my sending-stuff-to-QA percentage is within the guidelines. What get me is that when dictating these guys stink, but just wait until they have to turn around to talk to a colleague. Then, they can speak perfectly.... That just makes me crazy !!!!!
Haven't heard any more
but if all the MEs would do it, we should refuse to do ASR on October 1st. This is really a disgrace what is going on with the company and with what is going on, on this board at times (which is really sabotaging our professionalism.
Haven't you heard?

Ethics are only for the "lower orders" translated - us peons.  a mantra for the rest of us


Bosses are to boss - peons are to peon.


I haven't heard from her yet...hopefully soon. NM

I haven't heard anything about
it being the last season, but the way this show goes, you never know what's going to happen. That's why it's such an awesome show. I hope it never goes off the air.
I haven't heard anything...is this new? nm

Haven't heard of her, but I will look it/her up! nm

no i haven't heard
normally that indicates something that's not true.
where did yo hear this? on the news or through email?
check with snopes.com yet?

and patient personal info is not my problem. I follow HIPPA and that's all I can do
Oh good grief
Whoever started this, "It's your responsibility to look up an address" should be drawn and quartered. Leave the secretarial work for the person who gets paid by the hour.
Good grief
OMG!  You have got to be kidding yourself here.  First, Barney is Zipper, MQLover, Frankie Boy who ever else  you accused and now she is MQ whiner?  Listen to yourself. 
Good grief!!!
Reading these costs of living it's no wonder people are so grouchy all the time.  I've always been pretty frugal...no mortgage, no car note, no credit card bills.  Total expenses including food, probably under $1000 month, don't keep track.  We spend a lot on eating out and just generally having fun. Simple 2 BR 1 Bath house on 8 acres,  One Ford F150 that's 6 years old, one Dodge Ram that's 4 years old.  Living just the way we like it...not having to worry about drowning.  Not exactly paupers, total income around $7500/month.
oh good grief
lol
Oh good grief. (nm)

Good Grief!
The average Joe should be SO LUCKY to have a 6.4 or 4% decline in wages!  Health care keeps going up and the doctors keep raking in the dough left and right.  If you can't see that, there's something terribly wrong.
good grief!
I hope you are okay.  Did anyone see that show on the health channel last week where the little girl about 12 was trying to purge and put her fork  down her throat and it slipped?   The tines were barely seen in the back of her throat.  Talk about scary! 
good grief!
Don't you have anything better to be so judgemental about! Withholding help just because of the way someone *wrote* something! What difference does it make? This is a *forum*, not a federal document!
Good grief
I am very sorry to hear things are rough for you right now, and well wishes for you and your family.

You have always been so helpful here, and know that many of us appreciate your insightful take on the issues we all share as MTs.

Scary isn't it?  I agree, I would "accidentally" forward to a higher upper.  This is totally ridiculous.
Oh, good grief.
Why does everyone think that they should only get the type of work that they want? It is up to the employer to see that ALL the work gets done and sometimes you may have to do something you don't like. Granted, you should not have been told that you wouldn't have to do DS. However, to say that you were lied to is a bit over the top, don't you think?

With all the griping that goes on on this board about work going overseas, to sit here and complain about the work that you do get is non-productive whining.
Good grief!
Can't even imagine working without a spell check of some kind. Am wondering if there are programs that you can download on the computer you use...even having to re-download every day? Sure hope you can get it "fixed" -
Good grief--

It was meant as sarcasm-- I guess you didn't "get it".  What I meant by it is why was HE worried about not speaking English when none of the ESLs give a rip.


 


 


Good grief you don't get it do you? sm
When this all started it started with someone posting about not wanting to work weekends, holidays, nights, when their kids were at a soccer game, blah blah.

You people have absolutely taken one post and stretched it all out shape.

I am neither bitter or miserable in my profession. But, the posters who whine about hours and days and no work when they want work are the ones who are bitter.

Seems to me the ones that are complaining about all that are the ones that don't have a positive attitude as you like to put it.

I am not on a pedestal and I don't think I am better than anyone. But, I also know what it takes to make it in this profession......a lot of hard work over the YEARS and willingness to hang in there. I see people on here who have been in this profession 2-3 years and have worked for 5-6 MTSOs! How the heck do you get anywhere job hopping like that? IMO you shouldn't even be working for an MTSO at that point.

I really don't care if you or any of the other whiners and complainers give a rip what I think. The profession is the way it is. Its not going to change to suit those who don't want to work and it may even get worse.

Get use to it or get out. Keep complaining about no work, no work when you want it, weekends, nights and holidays. Waste your time. I am going back to work.

As for myself and others like me who have done this for years, we will have a job when you are out looking for a job at Walmart. Personally I am glad, at least some of the whiners will get weeded out.
good grief
That sounds like a gigantic mess.  I'm glad I bailed when I did.
Good grief!
IF you have your own company
IF you have good employees
IF you can find accounts that will pay well
IF...IF...IF

Just trying to figure out, as long as they're making claims, why stop at 60K?!!
Haven't you heard the joke---
Men are like parking spaces-- the good ones are already taken and the ones that are left are handicapped! 
Haven't you heard of metrosexual
They have nice hands.  My 27-year-old son is one.  He is definitely not gay, a true womanizer, but fastidious in his dress and manner.  He is 6'4", beautiful blue eyes and dresses to a T.
I haven't heard of this, but I did a quick (sm)
search on google, and came up with intradermal papilloma of the breast, or milk ducts, here is one hit I got. It is a benign growth in the milk ducts. Hopefully, it will be as the receptionist said, and clear up for you in short order. I'll cross my fingers for you....

good grief. ESL saying, "intermittent" LOL

Good grief!!! At least she uses a bb name, unlike...

those (yourself included) who only add a few words in the signature line and never use a "name" twice.


Geesh.


Good grief, you are way off the beam....sm
What is appropriate is that the patient's doctor asked for blessings over this patient's health. What IS inappropriate is *your* interpretation of appropriate and inappropriate. I sure hope you never transcribe my reports and become the filter for or against information that is put in my records!
Good grief. The point is that it
isn't 'whining' to state that MTs have to have much experience & knowledge, and there are a lot of physical effects and mental strain, and considering all of that, the pay is really lacking in our profession. Those are the facts. An IC at 8 cpl is AWFUL pay, by the way. Just because you don't think you deserve any better than that doesn't mean the rest of us feel that way.
Haven't heard, either, but I'm going to check. This is very distracting :). nm

If you haven't heard it already, you gotta listen - sm

Ray Nagin, Mayor of New Orleans, in a radio interview with Garland Robinette. 


I can't even begin to describe the love for his city, the desperation, heartbreak, and anger in his voice.  Talk about the captain going down with his ship.  He's not going anywhere.   He is my new hero.

Good grief. I hope you are kidding, please. nm

Good grief! Housekeeper in the South? SM

If you are set on housekeeping, I do know people who clean houses for a living and do very well. One woman even went on to own her own business. But in a HOTEL? I'm sorry to say this, but are you nuts?


If your MT skills need polishing, there are different tapes and courses and WHATEVER you can use. Perhaps someone here can assist you.


As another 50 something year old woman, who works for a National, so far I have made $30,000 this year. I realize that is not a lot of money, I'm not exactly busting my behind, but you can make money. Please stick this thing out. Housekeeping is not an option, except in one's own home.


Good grief, charlie brown. nm

oh good grief - hit by a flying troll
I remember gas 25 c - cruising main street after buying $2 worth Ha, that was after I bought a pack of cigarettes out of the cig. machine for 35c - man o man those were the days when I was cool
Oh good grief. Every company defines
lol
Good grief, hope it doesn't have too many changes sm
If so, we should get our money back on the 2nd, geez! Enough is enough.Some of the 2nd is wrong anyway, leave us alone!
I interviewed to work in a pharmacy ... haven't heard yet, but -- sm
the company will send their pharmacy clerks to classes and pay for pharmacy tech certification, even though it is not required in New York state. Waiting to hear back from them this week.
I've heard of it and looked at it but haven't done much research on it.
I think that my first impression was it was NOT HIPAA compliant but I could be wrong on that. I'm curious enough now to take a second look.
this is a real dead subject, haven't you heard?

Good grief...multiple personality disorder???

Good grief. You'd make an employment decision
Honey, you need to get a grip!

Oh good grief! No way. The only Dixie I know of is a forensic medicine person...
not a former bank manager.  Maybe there are 2 of them. 
Good grief, no. I'm not a mole. I'm not admin or mgmt in any form.
I'm not QA. I'm just an MT like everyone else on this forum.

I'm allowed to have my own questions and curious thoughts.

Good grief.. Fortunately ours is only chasing oncoming cars, so just

Good grief, you started this all. You should have just waited. Xanax to the rescue. nm
