Yo Busy!!

You seem to be the MOST organized of all my acquaintences!!!  Kudos to you!!!  Come help me get more organized.  *LOL*

S. Florida friend !! 

I am visiting my son this week, and decided to help my granddaughter clean her "spotless" room.  She is such a neat freak. 

What a smart little girl. I went into her closet where she keeps her electronic equipment.  Every single cord for each item was neatly folded and slipped  into empty paper towel (aluminum foil, toilet paper) rolls and labeled.   She had attached a small velcro square to the equipment and one to the paper roll.  It was so neat.

I invited her to come home with me and organize my house. 

and that is probably why I didn't like Tessier's at all.  I have other word books besides Stedman's and I don't like them either!  The only thing I like as well would be the MPI and I hardly ever use mine now.

In all fairness, I probably Google more than I do anything.  If I am looking for a ronguer or scissors or suture or needle, I use the M&S word book to find that.  If I am looking up a new drug-eluting stent, I google, BUT I can make what I am looking for so specific that I find less than 100 sites for most things.  I don't ever file through pages of it because that is useless too. 

I dunno...only ever do OPs, have for a long time and it is to the point where I rarely have to search for anything.  Despite my advanced age, my near photographic memory is still highly functional. I thought that would be the first thing to go, but it wasn't.  In other ways, my brain is a junkyard.  I can remember a piece of equipment I transcribed only once 4 years ago, but I can't remember where I put my purse or keys! 

Also space heater; love that; more cozy especially since I'm in our partially finished basement/family room.  HAHA!

My nails bother me too if they get too long, and I do my own little manicures when that happens, so I can feel more comfortable - I agree on the nails.

Coffee till around 9:30, shower, and then soda all day long, but it usually just sits there.  I have to have lip stuff in case my lips get dry, and I also have pictures of my kids, my husband and I, and my nieces and nephews, just to remind me that I'm not out of touch...

are both social, happy kids, but enjoy spending their spare time with Lego's, pets and especially reading. My 5th grader reads at an 11th grade reading level and my freshman reads well beyond college level. Both enjoy school very much and are on the Challenge tracks, A's and B's. But I think they have learned how to entertain themselves and enjoy a slower pace because we don't have a T.V. Definitely gears down the speed of life.

list equipment.  Some still use C-phone, some use Lanier, some use wav pedals, some require you to rerecord and there are still a few small local ones that still use tapes.  Even though some companies use the internet, some you download and work off-line, others you have to be connected the whole time you are working so high-speed is a must, either cable or DSL.   I you are going to buy a foot pedal I'd get a generic that would work with ExpressScribe or Start/Stop, one that is capable of working with multiple types of voice files.  The ExpressScribe software is free so you just need the pedal.   I haven't read your other posts so don't know if you are trying to go on your own of what, but if you are working for a company I wouldn't buy a foot pedal until you have a job where you need one.  Some companies use a proprietary software and you need a specially configured foot pedal.  You can always download the free ExpressSribe and use the keys to do any testing.

I see improper usage of their, there, they're all the time on the boards but doesn't mean that's what the poster uses in medical reports - sometimes people just forget and type the wrong word on public boards -

Except for the word board, the admin here at this site says we are never to correct the poster's typo.....so let it go, let God, and not to worry. 

One should never assume anything in this business - one of the first rules of thumb. 

I am totally confused as to what section of the religion board to post on.  There is nothing for general Christianity or perhaps Quaker pursuasion, etc.

I also have no idea what I am, liberal or conservative or what.  I liked it better when you could have a real discussion.  We exchanged ideas.  I know sometimes they got out of hand, but I don't like any of these boards now.  They are just plain too confusing now. 

the AOL boards. This is the only one where I read so much about dissatisfied MTs. Oh, once in a week or so you'll hear something about VR or EMR, but mostly, the people in other places are still excited about being MTs, proud of what they do, certainly not talking about working fast food.

There's lively discussion about home stuff, hobbies, and kids, but I don't hear many people at all saying they can't make a living at this.

I wonder why that is? Serious question.

so I think I'll post on all of them and then make up my own!!   When you've worked for nearly 4 years in an office and you're the only man, you learn how to take instruction pretty quickly! (Well for me, it took way to long, I'm a slow student)  (drumroll please?)

Seriously, though, sm I've garnered enough advice from the "three boards" to get a good picture of what I want to do. I'll just take the plunge and see what happens. I'm still keeping my day job so no worries about stability.
