Just wanted to say goodbye to all of my MT cohorts and friends. After months of intensive job searching, perseverence, resume tweaking, tears, rejection and then skin thickening (ahem), and giving tons of thought about school versus job versus trying to hang onto transcription, I've landed a new job with a wonderful company. Get this, they have steady paychecks, benefits, and raises. I haven't had those in years. I feel like I'm walking on Cloud 9 and can't even sleep!

Other than MTs on this board few will understand my feeling that the weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulders! I actually am waking up smiling and eager to face my work day. I know Transcend is a good fit for a great many people, and I tried hard to be one of them but it did not work for me.

I can't figure out the word that is flagged. It seems to start with a "p" and maybe "pr" and seems to end in -ular. Possibly 2 words ___ regular or 1 word ending in __gular?

CT-guided needle boiopsy was positive for non-small-cell carcinoma "with favored squame."
