Letters wearing off keyboard...anyone have a solution? - Kiki1
Posted: Sep 07, 2010
Anyone had any luck with a white sharpie?
I've heard of those letter stickers but also hear they don't last.
TIA!!
keys - nan
[ In Reply To ..]This will work if you still have all the letters. Try clear nail polish over the keys. This works. You do have to replace the polish after awhile. Just something I tried and it worked.
Laser etched keyboard - I had to get one too
[ In Reply To ..]I found mine on Amazon for about $30, got tired of having to buy a new keyboard every few months -- and you can even put it in the dishwasher if you spill something on it.
white nail polish or photo (silver or gold) markers . . . . - s/m
[ In Reply To ..]I never buy a new keyboard just because letters are worn off - photo markers are great for marking lots of different items, they have a reflective appearance, then just coat with clear nail polish every so often. . The French manicure nail brushes are very thin and better in small areas.
What do you need the letters for? I don't even look at my keyboard.. - nm

I've worn my letters down to the metal underneath - L&L
[ In Reply To ..]the plastic and still worked. Keyboards are cheap. I keep a half dozen on hand (I accidentally spilled "not beer" on mine one night...live and learn).
Personally, I don't need the letters. Mine wear off - sm
[ In Reply To ..]within 2 to 3 weeks of getting a new keyboard every time. Since no one uses it but me, it doesn't really matter.
I use keboard skin - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I've been using keyboard skin for years. It also protects the keyboard from dirt, crumbs, and dog hair. They don't interfere at all with typing. Google "keyboard skin." They'er custom made to fit all models of keyboards. Cheap too.

Regarding pay, work conditions, etc., the only clear out of bounds complaints we have are 1) Unpaid work. The concept that we can do this 'on the clock' is a double whammy. You end up getting paid LESS than if you did it on your own time. I've clocked alll this unpaid work very conservatively. It is 48-52 hours annually. Fair wage and labor standards in your state deals with that or you can form a strong coalition of MTs and find an employment attorney. The one I consulte ...

I hate doing correspondence. Was doing all operative reports before this for many years and liked that much better. ...
What Type Of Information Do You Put In Your Cover Letters? (sm)

My cover letter is only 5 lines. Is this the norm for everyone else? When I first typed my cover letter I did some research and it stated to make the letter as short as possible and to highlight your "strong" points. Just curious ... thanks for any opinions, advice, etc. ...

Dialysate Solution (s/l RFP Or RSP 440) - Sm

I have a thickly accented ESL who has just started dictating dialysis notes for our facility. I'm used to the docs giving the dialysate as, say, BGK 4/5, or breaking the concentrations down by potassium, bicarb, etc., but this new guy is saying what sounds like "RSP 440" or "RFP 440" and we're at a loss as to what that is, unable to document it yet. I thought at first that they were talking about some solution used in a recirculating single-pass machine, and QA thought they ...

MT Pay Solution, Maybe..just A Suggestion
Jun 20, 2013
This is how we got paid at a major department store when I was a hairdresser: Guaranteed minimum wage for hours worked. If our production exceeded minimum wage we were paid a percentage of that production on top of the minimum wage, usually 40%. I would love to have MTs guaranteed at least a minimum wage for hours worked (or waiting to work) and anything we produce that exceeds that wage should be paid at the customary cpl. This would encourage higher production, benefitting th ...
