we argue all the time

My husband says I don't spend enough time with my family even though I stay home during the day with my kids while he is at work. When he has something in the evening, I get stressed because I have to work while he is off with friends and I'm trying to take care of the kids. I get my work around 6:30 p.m. He doesn't want me to stay up all night doing it to turn around by noon. What is a girl to do?

Can't argue with that!

Yep, can't argue with that.

Not to argue, but have YOU ever been thru this?
Do you know how many times battered woman go to the police for help, only to be told that there's nothing that can be done? That no charges will be filed, because there's no proof? Or the husband gets charged with something but the DA pleads it down to Disturbing the Peace because there's no proof?
She's lived in this situation for far too long now... and unfortunately, the truth is that she just keeps getting smacked around anyway... trust me, if you've been there, you would know what I'm talking about... you take it and take it and take it and there's no end in sight... but at least this way she would know that it was the last and final time... I told you my opinion wouldn't be popular.. but the truth is, she's probably not going to leave just because any of us tell her to... but at least if she formulates a plan like I suggested, it gives her a goal to work toward, it makes it real for her, and she will probably follow thru... otherwise, it's just too easy to stay in the cycle of abuse and forgiveness... trust me on that one... you sit there and think to yourself that you're going to leave because you know you have to... but then you just never do... because no matter how rough it is, at least it's familiar... and getting out really takes a lot of courage to break the cycle.... at least if she has a plan, then she has a goal and a set date to have it be over... with no more excuses or saying "well maybe he'll change" or giving it one last chance... at the end of the month, his chances are over...
Go ahead, argue with me on how you all think
Lets see the moral ethics flow.
Paying below poverty... minimum wage is POVERTY, yet, below that.. what a joke.
Because I'm just being me, I gotta argue ya ;)
Nuthin' personal... I'm only going on what AAMT BOS tells me to do, because I'm a tool. Page 209 of 2005 AAMT BOS, 2-cm mass, 4-cm lesion, 4-1/4-inch scar, .38-caliber pistol, et cetera.
for that matter, you could also argue what are any of us needed for...
why have people do anything.
being that I love this profession, I am just disappointed to be in it at this time of transition. if there was even hope the MT can be transitioned to stay in the field it would be great, but so far all I hear are complaints about money, we cost too much, nurses cost too much, everyone costs too much.
personally, although automation is inevitable (being the huge Isaac Asimov fan that I am) robots WILL be taking over manual labor some day, computers will think for us, and again the quote comes to mind 'how will man learn to survive his own insignificance.'
in theory, the electronic chart with chips in our brains should work perfectly; however, have you ever known your PC to work perfectly like say, when there is a storm, or computer hackers take over, or, I could go on...
the transition period is probably where the worst mistakes will happen...
I do agree with you, in theory, anway.
Not to mention, QA does not get pain to argue with MTs
The QA people have a specific job to do also. They do not get paid to exchange e mails with the MTs (imagine how much time that would waste), or to have an ongoing debate with them as mentioned in previous post. You would not want to do that much typing on your job and not get paid for it. They have a TAT to meet just like we do. Mind you, I am not taking up for you QA guys that nitpick at hyphens and punctuation at all, even though you say that's your job. I would say that in more than 30 years, I have only had 2-3 who could/would spend the time to help me become a better MT without unnecessary critism. Yes, I agree, there should be more editors like the one posting here. MTs should think outside the box here and use a decent QA person when you find one as a valuable tool at your disposal.
Do not worry the posters below - some people will argue about ANYthing!
Hope your party is a great success! :-)
I see folks churn out crap that I cannot argue for humans

You're just wanting to argue and point out flaws.
Go on and wonder and murmur.
LOL
I'm repeating what my accountant told me. Go argue w/him I guess.
He said find out what you need to make and then multiply that x 3.
I paid at least 30% tax last year, or more. even with my piddly deductions.
I agree, too. I'm just so tired of it all, don't have the energy left to argue with 'em any

Not anymore. For some time now, I've been working 32 hours and am considered full time to receive

Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
Yeah, our choc. lab does that from time to time - makes it interesting!- nm

Cannot legally require you to commit time to them as an employee and then not pay you for that time.

full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
Maybe they will. Give it time. It takes time to set up links.
OSI, Precyse, etc tell us more.
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...
newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)
I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.
There is a new classification called part time.
I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

its a waste of time yet you take the time to respond?
**yawn time for your bed time old thinker*
Hippie?? What pray tell is a hippie? Im not judgmental..I dont care what another is partying about or with or whom they are with..Im not a cop or the warmonger in the White House..far be it from me to judge another..You, however, by your post seem to have grown old before your time..I recommend you just graze on your back yard grass and leave us **alive ones** alone..**yawn**, time for you to go to bed now, hun? Bye..bye..old person..
I do believe she is good enough, and has more than proved that time and time again. NM

part-time or full-time
I'm curious. Are you FT or PT? Thanks.
4 week's time or 4 weeks' time
Does anyone know this one. I will see the patient back in 4 week's time, 4 weeks' time or 4 weeks time. Can't seem to find this in any of my reference books. Thanks in advance.
1 full time and 1 part time for now
I am still pretty new, so that is all I am taking on. I may take on more after I get more experience, if possible.
I never denied that I need a break from time to time, but
I was just stating how I took her post and the fact that I am worried about how my son will react since he is already getting quite upset. But, yes, any parent SHOULD be able to admit that they need a break from time to time...we're only human too! :)
even ISPs have to do maintenance from time to time--sm
and most do this during the wee hours of the morning when MOST people are sleeping and not using the internet. They need to upgrade their services and virus protection just like the home users. This is probably what occurred.
I recently requested time off for the first time...
(3 days off) and gave 2 weeks notice but was asked by my boss to give more notice next time. I thought 2 weeks was decent, but next time I will give at least 30 days.
Do we enter each time there is a new prize, or just the one time?
thanks.
Not 1st time, wont be happy the 2nd time and

Utter waste of time, unless you have a lot of time--then have at it! nm

I've had 3 at one time, but only one open at a time. nm

Virtually never. Time spent doing that is time SM
that could be spent typing. Instead of stopping to listen, then typing to catch up, I scan AHEAD of the dictation as I type, looking for upcoming questionable areas.
Yeah, but full-time lines does not necessarily mean full-time hours, so I would do it if your produc
-
1st time 22 (6 yrs). 2nd time 33 and 13 years.
Still going strong!
SO the little one takes up your time yet you have time?
LOL
I have side this time and time again
It's crazy how these nationals or even smaller MTSOs think that we should be working set hours as an IC or even set lines as an IC. I totally stay away from those companies. Also, stay away from the ones that keep you on messenger (like Advanced in Oregon) or require you be logged in their platform, etc. or require a time clock as an IC. This is against the law. They cannot clock you and expect you to work certain hours under an IC status. They are getting away with it though, time and time again. It's a shame what we MTs put up with in this profession for pennies!!!
you have no time to switch from board to board? how can you have time to look for the drug?
x
Does anyone know if you are a part time employee for 1 company and part time IC for another can you
still claim deductions for IC on your income tax even though you are one of each.
Depends on how part time the part time jobs are.
You can do it. You just have to work out a schedule you can live with.
$32K/part time 6 months/full time 6 months
I have kept my child home with me half the year, but when pre-K started I began working full time. Helps to only have a main account and one backup account for the 2nd year now, so my abbreviation program rocks and rolls when I focus.
Maybe it's time to ask yourself
whether your better off with him or without him. It must be soul-destroying to live with someone who has no consideration or respect for you. There are men (strong, decent men) who respect their wives as partners and show them consideration. You don't have to live like that. You deserve better.
What about next time???

Time
All I use is autocorrect and it takes me 60 to 70 minutes to do a 30 minute tape of straight chart notes and about 475 to 550 lines on my internal medicine account. On my surgeons with a lot of consults/letters it can take me 90 minutes but I get over 1000 lines. If it were to take me 4:1 I think I would quit.
time off MQ SE
I never had a problem with anybody being nasty to me about it, but I rarely request time off. When I do need time off, I just send in an email and state I won't be working my shift today. period. I don't phrase it as a question, I make a statement. I think that is a major benefit to being an SE.
I need some time off.
I feel like all I've done this summer is work. I have so much other stuff I need to get done, but I haven't had time to do it all. 
if you had put as much time and (sm)
effort into your job as you do belly aching and trashing, maybe you would have made it as an MT.
