How do you deal with boredom - JustMe


Posted: Apr 24, 2012

I am doing VRE work.  The hours are just dragging.  I only do this part time but I can barely get through it.  Any ideas on how to stay "with it" and to stay motivated? Thanks.

Just a suggestion...sm - SP

I do 10 reports in a row and then take a 60-second break, stand up, stretch, take a drink, something. Then do 10 more. Repeat. Or you can try to beat your LPH/reports per hour each day. Or see if you can split your shift if applicable and work like 4 hours, take a long break, then work 4 more (if you're FT 8-hour days type of thing). I work a split shift like that because that's all I can handle is about 3-4 hours at a stretch before I'm useless from the brain down. Just a few suggestions. Good luck :-)

or bail and don't waste your time! LOL... - ltdn

Mind Numbing Boredom
Apr 19, 2014

I used to work on an account I loved and recently lost to EPIC.  I never minded voice recognition because the account was interesting and I took great pride in each report I typed.  Now, though, I understand what everyone is talking about when they say "mind numbing bordedom."  I must look at the clock 5000 times a shift and just keep counting the seconds until I can turn off the computer.  ...


What Is The Deal With VR?
Jun 27, 2012

Okay, guess I will show how dumb I am.  I am an MT in a in-house office for a urologist. he dictates, I listen and transcribe. i get on here and read everyone fussing about VR. I get that VR is voice recognition...but what is your job? If you are an MT, you have VR, I realize it gets it wrong sometimes but what do you do? Read it to make sure VR gets it right and then make the changes?  Just wondering.  Any reply appreciated. Thanks! ...


Has Anybody Else Had To Deal With This?
Aug 06, 2013

A little over a month ago my old PC finally crashed after 10 good years.  I replaced it and had to put antivirus on it (of course).  I ended up taking my son to the ER and can't afford insurance, so I ended up paying out of pocket for his antibiotics.  (Sad that the antibiotics cost less than a month of insurance for the two of us.)  My antivirus expires the day before I get my check.  Are there any safe alternatives for one day until I get paid?  ...


So What's The Deal With
Oct 27, 2013

A couple of days ago I took my mom to the ER because of sudden back pain.  We live in a town of ~20,000 and have a 100-bed hospital with a fully staffed ER.  We were the ONLY ones in the waiting room.  It took 1-1/2 hours to be seen by a triage nurse, 1 hour to be escorted to an ER room, 1 hour to be seen by a nurse (never seen by an MD), and 2 hours for a different nurse to wander distractedly into the room with discharge/followup instructions.  There were at least 20 employ ...


Help! I'm Stumped On How To Deal With This...
Oct 24, 2009

Urinalysis has been obtained today suggesting 50 to 100 WBCs, RBCs, many bacteria, with a WBC of 6.9, hemoglobin 14.3, positive nitrites and moderate leukoesterase in his urine. First, I cannot find leukoesterase in any dictionary and believe he must mean leukocyte esterase.  Can I change it?  Should I flag it if I do or is it one of those things that is obvious enough that it doesn't need to be flagged.  Second, should I punctuate it differently?  I mean the WBC and he ...

What Is The Deal With TTS? About 3 Weeks Ago I Applied
Apr 07, 2013

through a post on a job board. I took the test, which was open book and untimed. I checked each answer before submitting so I know I got everything correct. I have over 20 years of experience with multiple specialties. I never heard anything. Then there was a post here to send resume directly to the recruiter, not through the website, which I did. Then there was an ad to apply for Dictaphone accounts directly to the recruiter, which I did. I still haven't heard anything.    ...


What IS The Deal With The Teamwork Graphic
Sep 29, 2013

Maybe this is just my OCD tendencies speaking, but it really irritates me how the blue bar and the green bar do not line up. For example, if I am scheduled to work until 11, then I clock out at 10:30 for a break, the green bar for "Actuals" is already showing way past the end of the blue bar for "Plan." To whoever wrote the code behind the web page, how hard could it possibly have been to program the graphics so that they line up? It's really no big deal in actuality, but for some ...
