round up also
Just noticed that they also round up if it is .50 or above. So maybe this evens things out.
year-round school! nm

I just had a go-round with my 11yo this morning
She has been told more than once, no makeup - yet there she was this morning wearing eye makeup. I took it off her myself, which she did not like at all. Lip gloss I can live with but the rest will have to wait. She tells me "third graders at school wear makeup," and "the school lets us," to which I replied, 'their mother is not your mother, the school is not your mother, and you are not wearing makeup - end of discussion.' Don't know if you all have the problem with your young daughters trying to "push your buttons" like ours does (by this I mean she says/does things purposely to get a rise out of my husband or me, but mostly me). I have caught onto this manipulativeness, and now when it happens I remind myself I am the one in control, that I need to stay calm, and then I mete out the circumstances. Funny, but my calmness actually seems to infuriate her! Apropos, don't you think? 
those round bulbous things
I think you'll find that a great many breast augmentation procedures (you'll see them all through the www.implantinfo.com website) have that particular appearance. Go back and choose to look at the pictures from physicians rather than patients.
I think cost has a lot to do with it. The more expensive the procedure, the greater the likelihood of a more natural appearance.
I have a Dell Inspiron and there is a round
hole in the back just like they have on a desktop. I think it is a PS2. Mine has a picture of a mouse and keyboard underneath the hole. The foot pedal depends on what kind it is. I use a game port but don't have a game port so have to use an adaptor to convert it to a USB. I have a serial port which is 9-pin and it is right side my keyboard connection.
Homeschool, so year-round fun! nm

To "Typed in the USA," here's your chance to round up the other MTs!
I know there were many other MTs who expressed desire to form a new company - what a coinky dink that someone needs an MTSO with a group of MTs to take 5000 lines a day! Go for it :)
Oh...and email me if you need another gal :)
3 months on and 1 month off, all year round.

Speak for yourself. Her books go in the round file
has done nothing for transcription as far as I can see.
I learned proper grammar in school. I learned how to type in typing class. I follow the directions and policies of the company I'm working for at any given time.
That's about all a person needs. The world sure doesn't need Tessier. After all these years what did she ever do for MT?
I know I have no love lost for AAMT and those people. They are drawing a salary for what?? Why am I sitting here making less in 2005 than I did in 1995? And I am being offered even less on MQ's new platform?
Beats me. And how come sometimes they are those round bulbuous things?

Would you make a 60 mile round trip every day
I have been driving back and fourth to a hospital for over a year. It is 30 miles away. I have to put two small children in daycare close to my home because it is more affordable then the ones close to where I work. This is another issue. If I have to take them to the doctor or if they have anything going on at the daycare that I can attend well, I have to take a full day off. The pay at this hospital is only 9 cpl so the pay is not what is really keeping me it is the bennies. $65/month covers my kids and I. It is excellent coverage too. We also have a 401k plan where they match. We also have flex spending, PTO which is about used up because we keep running out of work. We are only allowed to get sick 5 times a year, that includes family too if we have to take off. I have asked to work at home because they have home MTs. I used to be one of them but they moved me in house they did not like my slow internet connection. Now that we have cable internet available I asked if can go back home and they seem to give me the run around like it is either "not in their budget" or “maybe in a month or two” but that never comes. These outsourcing companies keep dancing around. I just really want to be back home closer to my kids and so I can eat lunch with my husband again. I do know that any job I get there will be pitfalls. I am just afraid of jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
Is this for a conference, round-table discussion, or what? nm
s
Dinner help! I have a beef round rump roast.. help!
 any interesting ideas?
Doesn't sound round, makes no sense.
oh my production is cut in HALF!! wish we had year round school. nm

drove 80 miles round trip to work for $5/hr...sm
sitting in a metal folding chair at a folding banquet table, banging away on a Selectric in a room full of smokers. This was a service that would UPS cassette tapes out to your home when you started working from home. Obviously this was 25 years ago. After two weeks, the owner let me go and told me he couldn't make money off of me, even at $5/hour. But then I applied at the hospital for a radiology transcription position (because now I had experience!) and they hired me because I was the only one who would work on Saturdays. When I consider what I had to go through to break into the field, makes me laugh when I see newbies fresh out of school with no experience asking for 6 cents a line to work from home...I guess just understand you do what you have to do to break into the field. That goes for every job that is hard to get into. 
I have to say I am just sick over the recent round of school violence
My daughter's Middle School implemented some new safety measures this year. Visitors have to be "buzzed in" and when the kids go from building to building they must use their ID cards to enter the doors.
But one day my daughter forgot her clarinet and my husband took it to her. We are talking about a "country-boy" looking man carrying a small black case. A teacher and her class was exiting the main building and the teacher actually held the door for my husband to enter as they were exiting. She had no idea who he was. Scary.
Anyway, it seems the Amish shooter targeted that school so he could avoid the security measures that have been established in most schools in recent years.
My heart goes out to the families who lost and for those sitting at the bedside of the remaining girls. I hope and pray they will recover.
Thanks for letting me ramble. This has really been on my mind a lot lately 
Sorry about typos, sheesh...been sick and today down for round 3 sm
of cold, bronchitis and mild pneumonia. Every time I get better I start in from the beginning with this illness! This is why I have settled for a significantly lower line rate to go where there are affordable benefits like health insurance so I can treat these things instead of being sick for over a month now and can't afford to go to the doctor because I can't work at my usual level. Goodness me.
We're in CA and have a lot of year-round schools. I like it better than the traditional schedule.

Prostelysing bothers me. Keep your god to you and everything is fine. Start telling other people it is okay to do something cause *god* says so, then it isnt fine. That kind of stuff belongs on the religion board. Arguments for blacks in the back of the bus, blacks not being allowed to vote, nothing wrong with smoking, drinking, not letting women vote. All of these were thought of as right years ago. We, thankfully, evolved and realized they were wrong and changed them. Same thing with killing animals. IMHO and in millions of others opinions, it is wrong and one day, we will look back in horror. Already so many young people are vegetarians, more so than when I went to school. Im amazed. I have three friends who each have sons. All four of those sons are vegetarian and they are educating and enlightening their mothers about the healthful ways of eating and ethical and kind way of living. Not to harm, tread on this earth softly. So, once again, have a feast..enjoy. Actually, the animals are getting their revenge through disease spread by eating meat. I talked to one thoracic surgeon I used to work with and he said meat eating, especially red meat, contributes to heart disease, plaquing, high cholesterol, gallstones, gallbladder disease and he said that was just the beginning, much more. But, hey, this is America. We can make our own choices. So enjoy. It is just a post about animal cruelty. If it bothers you and your gods teaching, then dont read it.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you Sherri and thanks for sticking to your beliefs. Although I am Jewish, my children have always known both Christmas and Hanukah and are the bettter for it. Christmas is infectious and it is one disease I am grateful to have been infected with. Although we understand and worship both (hubby is Christian), we also honor and respect the right of all to believe and celebrate as they feel. Politics has no place interfering with the feeling of caring and generosity that people show more prevalently during this time of year. Christmas spirit has nothing to do with religion -- it has to do with spirituality. If the truth be known, I feel that the spirit of caring and giving is shown year-round in many ways to many people, and I don't hear people complaining. It takes many good people in this world to help those less fortunate.
Merry Christmas
Thank you Sheri and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all of you!
Thanks Sheri for the post!
Merry CHRISTmas
Reminds me of when I was an office manager --
There was an employee who stated she was an atheist. She was very persistent in boycotting anything to do with CHRISTmas. Guess what? She was the first one with her hand open when it came time to pass out CHRISTmas bonuses. She also wrote "holiday pay" on her time card for CHRISTmas day. Hmmmm...
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!
That makes me feel good. I am so frelling tired of Happy Holidays or enjoy the holidays. Well, my holiday is Christmas. Holi-day or Holy Day Christmas, you know the day that Christ was born. So anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone. 
Merry Christmas to you, too!
nm
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO!!
My holiday is Christmas, the day I celebrate my Savior's birth. I praise His birth all year long. Too bad those without true spiritual guidance try to take it away from those that do. They need our prayers, for they are truly missing something in their lives, to have to stick their noses in others.
Merry Christmas to you all!
and to all a goodnight. 
Merry Christmas!
   Merry Christmas EVERYONE! Wow, Sheri, I am so happy to see that the owner of this board shares the same beliefs that I do.
Merry CHRISTmas to you too.
Merry Christmas, but I though this
was a transcription board.

Merry Christmas to you also, and thank you for providing us with this wonderful web site throughout the year.
Merry Christmas sm
Just want to say thanks to all you hard working MT's. I am constantly amazed at how sharp many of you are. I am an oldie will be 70 next birthday, but still working. Always loved transcription was also a Paramedic, but back prevented that kind of work. Anyway God Bless all of You. May the New Year bring prosperity for all of us.
Thanks, EJ. A very Merry Christmas to you too, and SM
a lovely productive and luctrative New Year. I love hearing you're still at it. I'm still a way off, but it's in view out on the horizon. My aunt's 98 and still toddling around, so I'm thinking 70 is likely to be way too young to drag up the rocker.

Did you see where Andy from Iowa survived the first elimination round on that cooking show!
It's kinda like Survivor in that people get voted off... I think it's called America's Next Great Cooking Show Host or something. and the guy from Iowa (reminds me of Dudley Do-Right) stayed in there! WOOHOO!
My daughter already started 1st grade - year-round school. Yippee! (nm)

Merry Christmas (or whatever you may celebrate)!!!!
THANK YOU Ms. STEADMAN AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!
Thank you kindly MS Steadman, for providing this web site and for all that you do... may you continue to be blessed. And to all my fellow MTs, and I do mean ALL, each and every one of you - have a very Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a very exciting New Year. No matter what the new year brings, may we all be blessed with the ability to succeed and prosper.
I just want to share that in my early days as a Transcriptionist at a hospital, we worked with very many Jewish friends and coworkers. It was so touching how the Jewish coworkers and the Christians approached the holidays. We all covered for each other's religious holidays and would work those holidays so that our friends of different faiths could have the time off to be with their families. It was all done voluntarily among coworkers. Never a problem. Happy Haunnukah!!!
Merry Christmas to you too Sherri
I am so glad more people are standing up for their beliefs
