Can you relate?? - newbutold

Started out the day with an awesome first hour.  LPH was in the mid 300's which is very good for me.  I normally am around 250.  Then the second hour started and for the next couple of hours, I got the same dictator over and over, each one was very long, VR and completely wrong.  Had to literally retype them and leave multiple (and I do mean multiple) blanks.  I could not understand this dictator which obviously VR could not either.  I had to pend every single one and let them know.  I ended up with barely making my LPH for the day thanks to this.  Sure I will be marked off for major errors in all of them.  I blanked out the labs and things as I could not clearly understand any of them.  Completely depressed me. 

Relate totally - nn
