The boomer babes. sm
I miss my IBM selectric. When I trained if you made a mistake or the doc said go back up and insert this or that, you simply had to start over. No "white-out", and I know only you other boomers will know, if your IBM correction tape could not delete it enough you started over. I think we were the most fortunate to train in that era. We had no internet to jump on, and my goodness, how difficult but fun was it for all of you when we actually had a "word processor" known now as a much-updated computer. I had to work on that IBM Memory thing one time, and I hated that, if you accidentally put in a return, a return you would get printed out! Anyone else remember those days? When you had to actually look in about 8 or 9 books while training, and then, and only then, could you ask for help? I still miss my IBM selectric III. After training I had an IBM wheelwriter and that thing was awesome - we truly were bonded, just like I was with my little yellow Volkswagon. I know I am ranting, and the technology today is amazing, I never thought I would see it in my lifetime, I just sort of miss the "good old days".
toilet mouths
I live next to two toilet mouths. They are constantly getting "divorced" and never do. They yell the "f" word at each other and have used it on both my husband and I if we go outside to sit on our deck. He thinks if he goes out to smoke a cigarette, we shouldn't be sitting there. He thinks we are "watching him." We have never said anything to them about this as they are incapable of a decent conversation. Once my husband did ask them not to throw stuff on our property because if a leaf off our tree falls in their yard, or as much as a stick off a branch, they throw it back in ours. Once he threw a shovel of acorns back on our property and when I knocked at the window, he told me to go (you know what) myself. How do you tell this to the cops if they're not present? I have to bring the grandchildren in during their "f" word fights, as their parents would never use foul langugage in front of them. I am not a saint, but I'm sick of having to close my windows. She goes out with her girlfriends and they come home drunk and hollering at 2:00 AM but just enough to wake everyone and then they go in and finish their night out. He tells her he is "way far up from her" whatever that means, and he goes out with his buddies.He toots the horn if the girlfriends park in his parking spot at 2:00 am, how do you explain this? Things would be quiet by the time the police arrive.  Apparently she wants to buy him out but can't get a mortgage, so they both stay and fight. We have never in 18 years seen them go out together. How can you call the cops and tell them you don't want to live like this? Am I the "word police" or what? I'm tired of living like this. I plan to stay where I am but honestly hope there is a typhoon or something that will blow that house out of my back yard.She yells constantly that she has a right to "live her life." She has an expired CNA and calls herself a "private duty nurse" although all she does is clean peoples' houses and take them shopping. At one point she took an 81-YO Alzheimer's patient home with her and offered him some wine and used the "f" word on him because she apparently sleeps there a few nights a week while his people go out to the casino and he wakes her up singing. Other than record her, which would not stand up in court, how do you deal with this type of behavior? I am sure the police have better to do and need more evidence. I would love to get some of these long "f" word fights on tape and end it all and get them arrested, especially knowing people pay her to care for their loved ones. She brags that any money she makes goes "right in here," pointing to her bra. Where are the laws to protect us and to protect people who prey on the elderly?
Not a bad attitude on mush mouths
I also find I'm willing to work/research more for good dictators to get their reports 100%.
Mushmouths..well my worst one is just horrible, everyone leaves blanks out the kazoo with this idiot and with so many, his supe told him to speak clearer, had him listen to figure out the blanks and hmmmmmm.he had no idea what he had said.
He is now going a bit slower and clearer but is still quilty of garbage.
not talking with food in their mouths! NM

So then they dictated with all those snacks in their mouths! LOL. nm

Of course you may get the motor-mouths. Not good

But MTs who 'keep their mouths shut' are part of -sm
the problem. Where I came from, that's the kind of person they wanted - a little mouse who kept her head low, flew under the rader, and just typed, typed, typed. And preferably did not get sick, eat, or go to the bathroom very often! The people who saw problems and/or solutions were a huge THREAT to the managers, who wanted their own managers to think that they knew what they were doing, & 'had everything under control'. And they were scared that the people who spoke up might embolden all the mice. The only way the MT disgrace in this country will ever have a chance of getting better (and maybe our medical records banned from going offshore!) is if MTs speak up LOUDLY, and bring this problem to the attention of the whole country.
Puhleeze! MTSO's lie out both sides of their mouths when trying to hire an MT! SM
I should feel bad because I found out that they had been blowing smoke up my, err... blowing smoke after I received the equipment?
There are many, MANY factors contributing to falling line rates these days. Let's see, there is the outsourcing overseas to India and Pakistan paying those poor people 2 cpl to type our work! Then there are the uneducated, careless American MTs who produce poor quality work and don't have a clue or even care! Then there are the fly-by-night MT schools who promise $50,000 a year or better working from home when you finish their program, effectively turning medical transcription into a get rick quick scheme and producing some of the most under qualified MTs out there which brings us back full circle to the uneducated, careless American MT. It's a viscious circle.
So get off your high horse and get back to work. I don't feel guilty about screwing an MTSO that is already sticking it to someone else even as we speak!
You know you outta do
standup comedy. I see your posts and find them extremely funny- that is as in ha, ha funny. By the way, you are like me in one way, I love coffee with my sugar also.
GET OUTTA THERE!
I know it may be difficult,but you should start making plans to leave! Your husband will NEVER change, but YOU can change - addresses that is! LOL Life is too short to be unhappy!! Start trying to stash away some money here and there and plan to get out of this horrible marriage. I work at home, too, and thankfully, I have my own office. I can close and lock my door when I need to. I'm blessed that my husband is a wonderful man and compared to some of the jerks I'm reading about in this thread, my husband is a patron saint!! My husband does have and always has had a job. He also cooks, cleans, takes out the trash and recycling, does his own laundry, etc. On occasion, he will try to talk to me as I'm working, but if he realizes that I'm in the middle of typing a job, he'll leave me alone or I'll close my office door so he knows not to bug me.
Maria, please leave this loser and choose to live a better life for YOURSELF before it's too late!
Take care of YOURSELF and please keep us informed.

Wanna a little advice? I've been at this for 10+ years and no offense, but I think you outta get an
I may be way off base here, but you've posted like 6 posts. One says your bored, one says you'd get more done if you'd stop watching TV and surfing the net, and one says you can't get motivated to work in the early morning hours.
And since you say you are a "new to work at home MT", I think maybe you lack the organization skills, motivation, and dedication it takes to be a successful work-at-home MT.
This is just some friendly advice. I am one of those people and after working at home for about 5 years and barely making ends meet, I recognized my weaknesses and took at job back in the office.
Guess what? I am posting this from my work. I am halfway through my shift, I have met my quota and earned incentive, and still have time to post this. Plus, I can still earn a little more incentive before the night is through.
Just a suggestion...
My 3 sons are eating me outta house and home too! :) NM

canned air is good but scares the * outta my cats!
We're talking heart attack city for all 3 of them!

well that's cute, how'd you do that?
Too cute
Giggle. Next you'll be telling us you're qualified as Chief of Staff at the hospital you nurse at and transcribe for. Chuckle. (Reminds me of the saying, Jack of all trades, master of none.) Chuckle.
Cute!
Good one!
That's cute. :) (NM)

Cute!LOL!

Cute, but THAT will be the day!

too cute!
And I totally agree!
That's cute...
But outsourcing to India doesn't concern me on iota. Remember ..... they speak a different language than we do and when doctors here hire them, they get exactly what they pay for, which, when you add all things in, they charge for basically equal pay for a real sloppy job........
Never fear, my dear.....India's a joke......
That's why they'd much rather work call centers and do - more money for less work. Much easier to speak it - albiet half azz - than transcribe it.
LOL!! Cute.

That's cute! I got a second dog for the
older dog as a playmate and they are stuck like glue now. I wasn't too sure about it at first, the older dog is a Golden and the little guy is a Cocker, but it has worked out. Now the older dog is in his second puppyhood, gets into mischief just like the little guy and teaches him all the good and bad ropes. And of course, they don't tell on each other when the Kleenexes are shredded on the floor. In fact, the new dog was such a stinker that I went to midnights just to get work done. Couldn't let him out of my sight for a minute. I took 2 hour naps during the day when he slept, otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten anything done. He's much better now that he is a year old.
cute : )

Cute but not really intelligent
anyway, I have to work 2nd and 3rd shift because all the MTs are busy crying and complaining on this forum instead of doing the work they are supposed to do. Oh boo hoo, I have work oh boo hoo I ACTUALLY have to sit and type. They expect me to actually WORK for the money they give me. BOOO HOOOOOOOOOO. By the way, at least I HAVE a personality.
LOL! That was cute. Thanks for the chuckle.

This is so cute! Thanks for posting.
I needed the smile and the "warm fuzzy" today.
very cute site to see
Go to www.whitehouse.gov and on the right hand side there is a like to the BarneyCam. It's a very cute video Mrs. Bush made to take to the Children's Hospital in DC when she visited the kids. No matter your political persuasion, it's just too cute and you also get to see the holiday decorations. My grandkids have had a ball watching it tonight.
I have and think it is really cute. I just wish pounds
would melt off me like the snow melts off the little boy LOL!!!
