Lately every day I sign in I have been WISHING - I would be OOW....at least a couple times a week..

Posted: Apr 03, 2015

I mean no disrespect to those who are OOW and don't want to be and can't afford to be, believe me. I am sure one day, probably suddenly, it will happen to me, too. (Too bad it couldn't just happen occasionally and not constantly but alas I am sure that is not how it works).

But lately I have no motivation to work. I am constantly hoping to see that NO WORK AVAILABLE message. I am so sick of this crappy work with the rudest, most disgusting-sounding dictators you can possibly imagine (and I know most of you sadly CAN imagine). And we won't even get STARTED on the way we are treated and the way we get docked WAY TOO MUCH monetarily....

WHY OH WHY do I at least seem to be the only one who NEVER runs out of work? I am never out of work even on holidays....not once last Christmas holiday was I out of work, not even ON Christmas day.

Go ahead and dislike if you like, I will understand. But it doesn't change the way I feel.

And yes, I AM looking for a completely different line of work.....

I just realized that you might not have received a thank-you for the pretty graphic with "Merry Christmas" on it. I appreciate you for all you do to keep these boards up and running. It's a thankless job, I'm sure. ...

only do our best, and transcribe what is dictated. This is just a job and not what what you are; you are a human that is trying your best in an unfortuante situation, so appreciate the other wonderful things about yourself. So hang in there, take a deep breath, think a pleasant thought when things get bad and if you have to walk away for a minute. I wish the best for each and everyone as I am in the same boat as you. ...

OK..... It's an orthopedic chart note. Patient has a chief complaint of hip pain. Dictated: He has a negative [s/l fair, fairs, varus?] sign, a negative fabere sign. It doesn't sound like fadir; I'm not hearing that "d." I already had to leave two medication blanks and hate to leave another one for an orthopedic sign that I feel like I should know! Thank you in advance for your help and ideas! ...

The other evening at the grocery store, I picked up the newest issue of Employment Guide. You've probably seen it - it's usually by the doors to the store, and it's a nationwide publication. It used to list actual job openings for the local area. Now, though, it seems to be mainly an ad newspaper for schools offering career training. Anyway, what struck me about this issue is that none of the schools that have always advertised in this paper list medical transc ...

I had an interview last week with a big national company, recruiter was unprepared, kept making excuses as to why and then was supposed to send more info, but that didn't happen. Then was supposed to call again today, no call. I'm going to take that as a sign that this is not a good place to work. Oh Lordy, I really need a job! Any advice please. Just email me. ...
