    Maybe it was where you post fell .. I thought
    that you thought I was telling you that.

    OH WELL I'M CONFUSED NOW. ROFL

    I meant no harm or bother to anyone.

    My babies are in bed. I'm going there, too. I think I'll just stay quiet for a while.
    Or after a boring weekend when working at a hospital someone asks "How was your weekend?" and

    After finally switching my schedule to all weekend, every weekend
    Seems like that's the only way I could get work with my MTSO. So, I do it. I am to the point where I will pretty much jump if they say hop,so I can feed my family. I would say it's sad, but I am actually glad to even have work and a decent check again. I am giving up a lot working every single weekend and days at the end and beginning of the week, but its daily work!
    I am currently working all weekend every weekend.
    I get so burnt out although I do have work on the weekends, and then there is nobody home or friends to do things with during the week because they are all working or at school. I really dislike this schedule a lot. Plus I never get to do anything on the weekends or plan for anything while everyone else is off. I wouldn't mind 1 day every weekend but 2 days plus Friday is really doing me in. Good luck to you whatever you decide. Do think long-term, because when I decided to go for this kind of schedule, I did not consider the repercussions of long-term every weekend day and Friday.
    Fell sorry.....
    BRAVO!!!!!! 
    I kind of fell into it
    It's for a local insurance company. I have a friend who works there, and the service that they used was charging a lot. She knew I was looking for a part-time job to supplement my income (at that time I was working out of the home as a legal secretary). We started out working on it together, and then she stopped and I do all the tapes now. It's good money. I've been doing it for about 7 years.
    How dumb are you? Evidently you fell from somewhere.

    My husband fell back on ME. SM
    He had his own auto repair business and I bought his parts half the time.
    If a pill causes an abrasion while going down, it can fell like it is still there. nm

    I got the same email regarding pay....ALMOST FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR

    You have got to be kidding me!!


    I do the same thing! I have fell asleep at ...sm
    my keyboard before. It sucks trying to wake yourself up. I haven't found anything really that helps me that much.
    Just as above, the physician said the patient fell
    and ordered CT scan and the doctor absolutely checking for confusion. The doctor repeated and I listened back to it, intensely. That was said, VR picked it up and how would a newbie know (brain, confusion, could be in some cases, right) it was contusion they were looking for? I did, changed and finally the physician said the correct word, contusion. I also have the VR putting in Dr. Pannicus and the like. Yep, you need to know what things mean, not just typing in words.
    she fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down

    she fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down


    I fell down my steps in MARCH of 05 and my tailbone still ...
    hurts a lot of the time.  Both soft and hard chairs are hard to get out of, depending how long I have been sitting.  My sister said about trying an inflatable pool ring, but there aren't many to be found this time of year!
    DH refuses to watch it again- says we fell for all the hype - about (sm)

    the show being a "classic" .  People on we barely knew.  We kept waiting for it to get "good".  Then the ending!!!!


    Holy cow is right.  Is he dead?? 


    Bahaha! Oops. I fell out of my chair.
    You're not really a brunette, are you?

    Thanks for the giggle.


    Mother fell and broke hip Sat, sent home by ER doctor

    who said it was only bruised.  Hospital calls Tuesday afternoon and says she actually had a broken hip and needed surgery.  In the 3 days before the nursing home found out it was broken, she fell again.  Has anyone ever heard of the radiology dept taking 3 days to read films?  It was Memorial Day weekend, but even so I don't think it should have taken so long. 


    So true, when I worked inhouse, the doc fell asleep
    while dictating and actually continued to dictate while asleep "we packed the leg wound with BBQ sauce and grilled it". The service typed it as such and flagged it. Boy, was doc ever embarrassed. His fault for doing 50 charts at a pop.
    EditScript/Escription - Fell in love with it the first time I used it

    disks in C-spine, then huge metal fan fell on back of head!
    That is when the real pain began. A rhizotomy is where they cut the nerve roots to relieve the pain (anterior) or muscle spasms (posterior). I just had neurectomies, and my head has been worse for the last two months. The neurosurgeon was unable to get left side because my occipital nerve was entangled in the artery, but he got the right. Now I cannot feel the right side of the back of my scalp; however, I am still having a lot of pain! So much for that.
    Wear scrubs, they're comfortable and you fell like you getting dressed for work See message.
    Go to a local scrub shop, you can get a big bag full for about 100 bucks
    Monkey bars aren't the problem. I never once fell off. Neither did my brother. Kids need to climb

    Yup, every weekend
    I do cause I'm a single mom and I don't have the kids on the weekend.  So every weekend is when I do most of my work (at least half) - without interruption and I like it.  Can't get enough hours in during the week!
    what's everyone doing this weekend?

    every weekend here
    Not usually a lot though, and my TAT is higher on weekends - anything turned in Friday is not due in until Sunday evening, so it is not too bad.
    Weekend
    I work every weekend of every month.
    What's everyone doing this weekend?
    ll
    Weekend
    The NYS Fair is here in our town so we'll head there either Saturday or Sunday.
    Wow! Thanks all...you know what I will be doing this weekend! sm
    Check back....I might be the one on here crying if I cant get it to work! I LOVE this board!
    next weekend
    Calling an ambulance
    What is everyone doing for the holiday weekend? sm
    We're not doing much - probably will go and see the Herbie movie at some point and of course cooking out on the grill is mandatory. 
    Plans for THIS weekend?
    Summer has gone by WAY too fast.  What are your plans for this weekend?  Anyone have a big weekend last weekend?  I am not sure what we are going to do.  Husband is playing in a golf tournament and I will probably take the kids swimming, maybe work a little.  Would be nice.
    Got any weekend plans?

    It's so hot, I may just work instead. 


    Working this weekend?
    Anyone else out there trying to eek out a living this weekend?  Why do we do this?
    We had weekend bonuses
    When the work was heavy or for holiday weekends for everyone PT/FT but that was cut out in June completely.
    Looking for weekend work

    I have over 8 years experience in clinic transcription.  Any companies out there that hire for weekend work only?  Must be at least 8 cents a line.


    weekend work
    I just got weekends with Transcend services. they pay 8 cents a line. I said i wouldn't do op notes and they said okay. not too bad, tech support is GREAT and very helpful. if you try them out, drop my name??? Sue Broussard

    GOOD LUCK
    Diskriter needs weekend help sm
    They just started allowing PT weekend only as an option.  Their platform is easy to use.  Line rate isn't to bad either because you get more for if you are hired as a weekend only MT.
    weekend work
    I have never been asked to work on weekends, however I do work an occasional Sat. for a few hours just for extra $.  I sure would not want to have it mandatory!
    How many Weekend Warriors do we have here? Those
    who particularly work weekends and very little if any during the week?  Just curious.  I'm the weekday worker who jumps in on weekends when the workload is very heavy (which it is today).
    Weekend Warriors?
    How many here work at least one weekend shift a week?
    Every single weekend here...NM
    XX
    I take on anywhere from 90-150 minutes almost every weekend - sm
    every now and then I take off or take on less to give myself a break though and to be with the kids.  They think I work all the time (which I do it seems) and are surprised when I don't.  Trying to work smarter so I can spend more time with them, I don't want them to remember their childhood saying "well mom was always working". 
    I work 16-20 h every weekend for nat'l...
    Fri-Sat-Sun for nat'l averaging 20+ hours per weekend and Mon-Tues-Wed privately which sometimes spills into Thursday. I am able to juggle the private mds days ad lib during the week and not so for the nat'l, though I can work for the nat'l during the week if low on pvt work (a rarity).
    Weekend work
    I am trying to locate transcriptionists who have to work every weekend, unless the physician is out of town (for which you are not notified).  I am trying to figure out how to get a weekend off without being penalized (which some companies penalize you for missing any work unless you are dead - those are the exact words one company that I work for used).  I have not had a weekend off in two years.  How long does one have to endure this kind of treatment by employers before you know it is time to move on.  Anyone with answers on how you handled this, I welcome your advice.
    Weekend work

     I work Tues-Sat normally as this was the time slot my employer needed coverage for.  However, I work for a very flexible company.  They are great.  I really hate the idea of working all day Saturday so they let me break it up over the weekend any way I chose.  I, like most of you, have a family and life outside of work but the good Lord  was smiling on me when he let me become a part of the company I now work for.  They are very flexible and will really work with you on schedules without penalizing you if you need time off for pretty much any reason as long as you give them warning that you need to be off as well as make up your hours.  I think the bottom line out there is that you are going to be treated as a professional if you behave as a professional (at least in my experience).  Anyway, my 2 cents worth.  I am finally back with a company that allows me to produce quality work and feel like I am a person and not a drone as well as being compensated as I should be with my transcription experience. 


    Thank you so much! I will definitely go check it out over the weekend! nm

    saw Brokeback this weekend - sm
    Brokeback Mountain - watched it this weekend - thought it was not a great movie - but had some great photography - but we cannot fathom why it was up for so many Oscars  
    working most of the weekend
      Mucho bills to pay off !
    RE: Thank you!!! Have a great weekend.

    SNL weekend update
    No - not calling attention - just clarifying. HIPPA is taken very seriously here and I wanted there to be no question, especially since I have seen people lose their jobs over situations similar to this in the past. You may think nothing of HIPPA or confidentiality, but not complying with it is a serious offence.
