Sorry, I just told myself yesterday that I would scream if someone mentioned the snowflakes one more time!

I guess, like Christmas or winter or - whatever it is supposed

to represent, just be grateful it only comes but once a year. We could have falling leaves in autumn, little hearts on Valentines, firecrackers for July 4, etc. Maybe because I'm old and bitter, but I am already burnt out on Xmas, especially constant Xmas music everywhere. LOL.

awe, that is too bad - I will send you some of my Xmas spirit

I have an overabundance. I should be sad, losing a loved one this year, issues with children, health problems, and definite financial issues, but... I STILL LOVE CHRISTMAS. :)

Shop online. No music unless you want it. LOL - backwards typist

I think this is the first year that anyone complained about the snowflakes - backwards typist

Shows how much the posters on this board has changed.

Snowflakes are complained about every year - not just this year

[ In Reply To ..]
People have been complaining about these darn snowflakes every year since they were first started.

For me personally, they seriously slow my computer down, sometimes to the point of locking it up and I have to reboot. So I pretty much don't even visit this board at all during the month of December.

The reason why YouTube has a button to turn them off is because they do affect the functioning of some computers, and other people just find them downright annoying.

Do this - anon

GO away for a month!!! Find something else to complain about and complain to someone else!

The board has had snowflakes now for YEARS in December.

I for one like them and look forward to them, as do many others.

I'm really tired of crabby pants trying to ruin fun stuff for the rest of us just because they're mad at the world.

That is putting it bluntly - gentleheart

I just would have sugar coated it for fear of being Cyber Attacked!

Just because some of us don't care for the - wannie

snow flakes doesn't make us "crabby pants." I, for one, realize that some folks like them and that's fine. I do wish, however, that there was some way to "turn them off" for those of who don't find them particularly enjoyable

There is a way to turn them off... - posted like 4 times now

[ In Reply To ..]
Just go read through all the snowflake posts till you find it. Someone stated how to turn it off.

haven't seen that once. - at least not on this page.

Tried that. It only works for a single post at a time. - wannie

[ In Reply To ..]
Every time you read a new post, you have to change the page style. Thanks for the help, though!

i love it how - all those with

[ In Reply To ..]
The holiday spirit tell the rest of us to stuff it, drop dead or just vanish for a month.

I love it too... - please do

[ In Reply To ..]
It is getting old, all the complaining.

Option for Snowflake Haters... - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
GO BACK TO WORK. You know, the OTHER thing you complain incessantly about??

Or go volunteer at a homeless shelter, or a school, or animal shelter... Do something positive with your time rather than constantly being a drain on everyone else and trying to drag them down with you into your pit of misery.

Oooh, Snap! - Hahahaha (nm)

[ In Reply To ..]
Funny!

not everyone who doesnt like the snowflakes - doesnt like their job.

[ In Reply To ..]
The snowflakes mess with my computer. I don't care very much, but I certainly don't see how stating I don't like them warrants assumptions about my personality or work ethics, and certainly not my volunteer habits.

So its not really too annoying. (NM) - They only show up in my screen for a few seconds t

Mr. Dictator: You do not need to repeat your name and spell it twice, dictate the patient's name and spell it twice, along with repeating the MR# twice before dictating your procedure, then do it all over again at the end of the procedure! Geez, I get it.. Last job of the day, thank goodness! ...

that I have had in a dictation, and I am sure that the dictator (PA-C) is annoyed as well. It's always annoying when she chitty-chats with the "girls in the office" while dictating, but in this dictation, one of the girls is mocking back everything the dictator says and continues to do so, after a little chuckle from dictator each time, to the point where the dictator finally has to tell her that this is important, it is for an attorney and she cannot mess it up. ...

I find it extremely annoying when finally I start to feel like I have enough work on a daily basis for a several-week stretch only to find the account manager has decided to "rearrange the pools" and put more MTs to a pool with fewer docs in the pool. When I E-mail my account manager and ask for more work, my E-mails go unanswered. So I bite the bullet, go with the flow, play the "sit-and-wait" game, and when I get new resident dictating for an attending and have to send the job to Q ...

It seems lately I have had a lot of corrections where they are removing what I have typed and marking as [UNCLEAR]. I am not getting dinged, but the reason this is bothering me so much is because they are doctors I am familiar with and know what they say. It's not like a skip is happening and I'm adding in something. There are dictating, not always the best dictations, but because I'm familiar with them I know what it is. Makes me feel like I don't know what I� ...

Hi.....using Dell, windows 7 pc, word 2013, and shorthand. I like the feature on shorthand that you can check so that it uses the clipboard to dump shorthand entries into the text field on word 2013. I have some really long templates and when I use this form of text transfer (clipboard) on shorthand, it almost immediately dumps the template into my report. BUT, then a glitch occurs on all other entries. for instanct I have pt for patient a ...

LISTEN TO. THEY RATTLE NINETY TO NOTHING THROUGH AN OPERATIVE REPORT. JUST BECAUSE THEY SAY THE SAME THINGS EVERY TIME DOES NOT MEAN THE SAME PERSON ALWAYS GETS THAT TRANSCRIPTION AND AUTOMATICALLY KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE SAYING. THEY NEED TO SLOW DOWN AND REALIZE THERE IS A REAL PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THAT STUPID MACHINE THEY'RE TALKING INTO. RUDE, RUDE, RUDE. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY ALL YOU CAN SAY ABOUT THEM!!!!!!!!!! ...

MT Stars admin, the cutesy little snowflakes are really adorable on the page, but gotta say it slows down every other open page on my computer, and while trying to work but have this page open to perhaps check on words or other posts, I just can't because the snowflakes slow everything down. I really like the snowflakes, they are too cool for school, but maybe others are having this problem too? ...

The snowflake situation seems to have gotten worse. There are more of them and I just lost the third or fourth post because of them. The cursor flies around to random parts of the page when one passes by and there is constant flashing. The "flakes" look more like real fast snails trailing down the screen than snow. There is literally a snail trail of distortion behind them. I don't think the snow works with all computers. ...

I think the straw that broke this camel's back was when someone suggested those of us with legitimate medical issues regarding the snowflakes leave until January. I believe the specific quotation was something like "See ya!" Well, no you won't. I had hoped to be able to contribute to the community and to develop some friendships on this board when I joined up, but I am taking the hint that I am unwelcome. Despite the low pay, I love what I do. Because I love what I do a ...

I thought there was a way to make that annoying ding sound at the end of the dictation when spell check is complete to sound softer. I have Windows XP. I keep looking in the control panel but it does not seem familiar to me as to the way I used to do it. In some reports if the dictator talks low and then when you reach the end it blasts out my eardrum. TIA. ...

I had a fairly short note that was easy - and correct - except for a couple of lab terms I wasn't sure of because the dictator slurred over them. Wanting the report to be correct, I submitted it to QA in the hope that the "smarter" QA person would hear the lab terms and fill them in. Ha! She didn't know either, but instead went through and "corrected" things that didn't need correcting, I'm sure in order to justify her job. No more will ...
