They wont be crying the blues.they already have hired more than enough transcriptionists and from what I surmise, as my doctors now spell EVERYTHING, they hired newbies or not to swift MT's. What we need is a union, however, in the past the minute union is talked about, many MT's backtrack and say..they dont mind the decrease in pay, they like working out of their homes and dont want to change anything..yada, yada, yada..

First day blues
I started training my first day yesterday, no phone conversations, just numerous emails and templates/samples that were kind of confusing and had extensive header information that needed to be completed. Well, I went in under the wrong number on the system, not routed work and there were some formatting problems as well but it was my first day.
Well, I was happy when I finished, thought my work was good and all was well in the world only to wake up this morning to a really rough email. I know I made some formatting mistakes but geesh, it was my first day and this is training. I emailed and said how sorry I was for the misunderstanding on my part, explained how it would not happen again (and believe me it won't, I'm not the type to make repetitive errors), well that was this morning and I've heard nothing from the company since then, I've left three emails and a phone message (nobody picked up the phone on their end) and now I don't know what to think. I would hate to think I got canned on the first day for formatting! Content was fine.
I thought training was to work out the kinks...expecting all wouldn't be perfect, there is a learning curve. I'm so disheartened. Sorry for venting but maybe you all feel my pain.
First day blues
Oh honey, been there, done that!!! No feedback but lots of criticism...I'll bet when you were hired the company told you something like "we have wonderful QA process with lots of positive feedback, always available, etc. etc. etc..." Hope it gets better soon, otherwise, find new job. Too many companies out there to put up with crappy ones. Best of luck to you.
I am going thru the blues...sm
anyone else has just been so depressed lately? Every springtime I get that way. 
New system blues
We recently had a computer upgrade at the hospital where I work and we are having multiple issues. We are using Word 2003 in conjunction with Dictaphone Enterprise Express. First, does anyone know how to load the medical dictionary into the spell checker so that it pulls words from that dictionary? The spell check is stopping on almost every medical word and driving us all crazy! Secondly, the command CTRL+shift+spacebar is not keeping words together like it used to on our old system. Anybody have any clues as to why? Also, if you create a macro it will work fine until you sign off of word client, and when you sign back on, its gone. Any help would be appreciated...it has been a long 2 weeks! TIA.
Roadhouse Blues by the Doors!!

Post-pay period blues...
I simply cannot get motivated today! I always feel sluggish and lazy just after a pay period, especially on the first day of a new one. I worked so darn hard yesterday to have a decent paycheck that I'm, well, too pooped to punctuate! Anyone else have this malady?
I call what Eric has little dude blues!

To The Singing MT
Thanks for your nice note a few pages back. I had the pleasure of seeing Jill in her home town of Philly when she was touring with Sting a few years ago--amazing! BTW, one of the entertainment shows was playing "Golden" last night while they were talking to some of the Golden Globe winners--it was perfect!
To The Singing MT
Have you heard of The Singing Podiatrist? I stumbled upon her very interesting site. She has a lovely voice
I'll be honest.. my 1-year-old watches Blues Clues...sm
She is really good. My husband and I both work nights. She is 'on her own' for about 2 hours... watches 'Bluestock' - an 1.5 hour Blues Clues episode... plays a bit.. I take a break to get her ready for bed and get her in bed... and back to work. It's hard work but who can afford daycare on a transcription salary? I'd be working just to keep her in daycare!
Besides, I don't trust daycare providers and I'd rather her watch TV where I can see her than send her off and not know what is going on.
You are singing my sad song
What you have described happens to me to and it feels like a personal attack. You can see the ER jobs there, you work your butt off to get to them just to watch them disappear before your eyes. It can cause major depression! This is how we make our living.....don't mess with us!
If you find an answer, I would love to know what it is.
Isn't there a difference between singing and screeching?
No one could ever or will every match Barbara's voice! Anyone can get high pitched if they scream which Celine does compared to Barbara. Celine might be good but never will compare to Barbara!
They looked like the singing raisins.

I think the boys did a much better job than the girls -- I really like Taylor's style of singing
let's face it, I just enjoy everything about Ace! For the girls, I like Paris, and what's not to like about Kelly?
My problem with working outside is falling asleep, what with the birds singing, the gentle
