"regiment" and "regimen." Heaven help us. Have I mentioned today that I hate my job?

It's tough to sit through and listen to someone with a heavy accent, however it's awesome that a person is able to speak more than ONE language. Just saying... My SIL speaks English, Korean and some Spanish. He speaks with a bit of an accent (Korean)

I like my job and find it challenges me to work on accounts with accents. Has anyone else ever had an out of office encouter where your expertise at listening to so many different accents has helped out? I did! My neighbor can and asked if I'd help out. She could not understand what the pest control man was saying, he was speaking English, but it was obvious it wasn't his first language. All he was telling her was that she needed to keep the food (dog food) off the ground in the back yard, but she kept hearing "foots". It was funny and she had panicked, but it was easy for me to understand what he was telling her. He was middle eastern.

NO ENGLISH - Nature

I was raised in the Southwest, Texas. After working at an in-hospital for 10 years, I started working as a home MT, and I moved to Ohio. My sister's neighbor had a thick Italian accent, talking very fast. I could not understand her one bit. I was frustrated that I could not back her up and slow her down. One day my sister and I were in a store in Ohio, and I was trying to listen to the couple of women in front of me (so I could learn the "Ohio" language). I could not understand one word. I turned to my sister and said "I will never learn to understand the lingo here...I can't understand one word the people in front of me are saying." She listened for a few seconds and said "I can't understand them either. They are speaking German." We were almost rolling on the floor with laughter.

That is hilarous! I was raised in SW Texas also, but never felt I had an accent. Once we visited the Florida panhandle and were talking to some "locals", asking where the good local eats were. They thought I "talked funny". :)

regiment and regimen//regime and regimen

It's not an ESL thing.

I actually typed a report quite a while back wherein the doc said the patient was impudent - meaning impotent. It was very clear - that is what he meant to say for that condition. Amazing.

Exactly! Great point. (my brother and sister say onion like "ung-yun". and my mom says sandwich like "sangwich"and she says Cheeps, for chips.

ps. They are bilingual, English/Spanish. I believe some words just give people trouble when being translated from one language to another.

pet peeve! - words

I hate it when they try to sound erudite and say "in lieu of" when they mean "in light of" or "in view of." And I was told to type what they say! Even though it makes not sense. Goes against everything I stand for. No thinking required any more...

Same thing happened to me yesterday - I hear ya!

Took me 1-1/2 hours to load first job. I folded laundry in the meantime. It finally cleared up. Good luck!

They are just not delegating the work adequately. This is my biggest pet peeve of all time.

"Make up time on Saturday." There is no work, apparently, on Saturday anymore either! In looking at the numbers, certain hospitals seem to never run out, while others are just bone dry.

Now I cannot work my scheduled shift because of something else. I don't know about anyone else, but with a fam ...

Finally quit. Except for leaving MM I have never felt such a load taken off my shoulders. I am going to a hospital system where historically they do not treat people like robots, or slaves. I was going to try to hang on here, by hermiting (do my job and not look at e mails, etc) but decided to try to get out and with a lot of job hunting it worked. I still cannot believe how much pressure has lifted. Oddly I no longer feel depressed. I guess now I know what was causing my sadness... I am not say ...

Always the same old song and dance. The subject of MTs needing more pay per line comes up, and what does the speaker do? Redirect the focus on all the added "upgrades" to their software they plan to buy (probably for hundreds of thousands of dollars) to "help us be more productive". Got news for them. You can only go SO fast. There IS a limit. And after all the emphasis on accountability and accuracy, do they not see that speed just increases errors ...

Am I the only one who runs out of work? I find it very hard at night to keep going with the dreaded no work available. At least during the day, you can clean house, email, pick up the telephone, etc. During the night, you are limited to surfing and staring! Then I am too sleep deprived to pull extra hours to make up for missed line counts. I am doing third shift for the extra incentitive but it doesn't work in my favor if I run out of work! Any ideas?

I just got a new laptop and I installed express scribe, which I use on my desktop, and could not load any wav files on the laptop. I did windows updates and that seemed to fix the problem, the files that day I was able to play. A file that came in today I am unable to play though, but still can play the other files from Friday. They are all wav files and on my desktop I can play them all, just not my laptop. Does anybody know what could possibly be going on here? Thanks for all the hel ...
