No shooting, but...
In addition to your disciplin, what helps is that you found two companies that fit - have sufficient work for you and pay a fair wage.
I also split my time (no eggs in 1 basket) but I don't always get enough work...
Gas Prices Shooting Up
Ours jumped 23 cents yesterday. Ouch!
you are the one who suggested shooting herself --sm
which seems more nit witty to me than asking what kind of flowers you like, in response to that dumb of a question. I have had two relatives take their own lives in the past six months, and one was by shooting themselves. I dont't take those kinds of remarks flippantly. Perhaps a better choice of words on your part would have elicited more empathy and helpfulness. I know computer problems can be stressful, but gees, what a solution that is! and I didn't call YOU any names.
Is that the messenger you're shooting?
Had a drive-by shooting right in front of my
home office window in July. Unfortunately, a baby got shot in the head. I thought it was someone setting off cherry bombs or something - the pops were too close together I thought for gunfire. It was 2 girls and a stroller and they didn't even realize the baby had been shot at first. It was a big howdy-do. The cops were out here for hours, blocking off the streets so they could look for shell casings. A couple of news trucks too, although the subsequent TV news reports were somewhat inaccurate regarding the location and details. Never found out what happened to the baby.
Anyway, right after this happened, the guy and teenager kid across the street stayed away from their house for about 2 weeks after, coming by periodically to check on the mail. The cops would occasionally call on the house during that time. I never did find out what the deal was and if there was connection between these people and the shooting, but I always worry about a gang thing or a home invasion thing and they get the wrong house (mine).
Posters above are NOT saying the shooting is funny DUH!
Do you have a goal job you're shooting for? sm
I did not, so I figured the BS in HIM with the RHIA was my best bet, thinking I would be readily qualified for any job in HIM. Not quite true, but I never regretting spending the time, effort, and money on it to earn it. Had I KNOWN that I wanted to be coder, or a tumor registrar specifically, I probably would have opted for just their respective certifications, but I was young and not really sure where I wanted to end up. Interestingly, I found myself with a much harder job search than I'd been led to believe would be true. I couldn't get entry-level HIM jobs because I was perceived as 'overqualified' and offices felt I would quit and move on as soon as a better opportunity came along; but I couldn't get management-type jobs because my only experience was the clinicals I did during school--understandably so, I didn't want to manage when I didn't really know what i was doing! Your certification says "administrator" but your resume doesn't.
Best of luck to you, the education is never wasted. You'll get different opinions on certification, but your classroom learning and clinicals are well worth it.
Shooting the messenger ISN'T the answer... SM
Maybe you (and/or the Moderator) didn't approve of the *tone* of some of the responses to Appalled, but it's too bad the thread was locked before the REAL issue could be addressed.
Appalled said that she'd been out of the MT workforce for 3 years and she was very upset to find out her new employer was expecting her to bounce back and forth between multiple accounts, making her not as productive as she once was -- like the MTSO was doing it on purpose just to make Appalled's life miserable.
Well, guess what: That's what it's come to in the last 3 years. It's not just Appalled's MTSO - it's pretty much Standard Operating Procedure these days for all or most MTSOs to be scrambling to keep their accounts in turnaround and keep their clients happy. This has turned into a VERY competitive business in the 3 years that Appalled was out of the loop. Someone should've made sure Appalled had a clear understanding of that... but the thread was locked because the focus was perceived to be on negative name-calling and whining.
And guess what else: If this business is competitive among the MTSOs, it's EQUALLY if not MORE competitive among the MTs. If Appalled can't, or won't, adapt her work habits to what's expected in the Here and Now, Appalled will be replaced by an MT who WILL do the work exactly as assigned.
And if there are no MTs willing or qualified (or hungry enough) to be adaptable in meeting the employer's needs, and if not cheerful about it at least willing to take on the challenge of multiple accounts, there are MTs on the other side of the world who WILL do it, and for much LESS per line.
THAT'S the REAL issue: MT as a reasonably profitable career choice has changed radically in the last 3 years.
Did it occur to you (or to the Moderator) that many of us have been working in the conditions that so appalled Appalled, and we don't like it, either, but we suck it up and DO what's asked of us -- and we're lashing out with negative comments, not so much against Appalled on a personal level but with the MT situation in general?
You are way too funny. Loved the shooting thing.
Only thing missing is the wheelchair and the O2. Honestly, we have 100 year olds that are perfectly capable, but PULEEEZ, this new legislation was just insane.
The "clicking" of the O2 machine will just scare the deer off anyway.
Trouble-shooting Editscript.....see message
Is your eScription version up-to-date?
Have you checked for Microsoft Updates for your computer?
Is it possible that you are not waiting long enough for a job to come unto the screen?
I ask these questions because all of these things have been problems that I have experienced in the past (similar to yours) and these have been the reasons why the platform was not doing what I wanted it to do. Have you tried contacting Tech support? I always contact them after trying to figure the problem out by myself first. Usually it is a very simple solution. The question I mentioned about not waiting long enough is b/c once or twice it took soooo long for me to get logged in and for a job to come up on the screen, so I kept logging out and trying again b/c I thought something was wrong, but actually it was taking so long because the program was configuring new formats, new dictators (new residents), etc. and all of these changes were being updated since the last log-in. The other poster was correct about editscript letting you know if no work is available in your work queue. I hope that you get it figured out. Have a great evening.
you don't go shooting off your mouth calling citizens corrupt and criminal in a country you are visi
and you felt was okay to send you daughter to go to so she could drink at the age of 18. NO ONE WITH COMMON SENSE WOULD OFFEND THOSE SHE WAS EXPECTING HELP FROM. Mrs. Twitty has clean lost her mind if there ever was one there in the first place - considering she sent her daughter to Aruba at the age of 18.
