My VR ALWAYS types it like that. On every single letter, for the past year, I've been adding "NOT" to that sentence. It also puts regular instead of irregular, irregular instead of regular, happy instead of unhappy, unhappy instead of happy, etc., even when clearly dictated.

Add the phrase "please do not hesitate" to your Vocabulary.
I was typing my usual docs, hands flying across the keyboard when I typed "bilateral toe and knee replacements". I stopped and thought to myself...hmmm, they do toe replacements? wow!

I was just trying to get into MQ Central, and I was having problems, and I immediately thought, uh oh, here go the layoffs! I mean immediately! I tried again and was able to finally get in, but it was just so crazy. I hope I get another job soon, I can't live like this. Damn you Q!! ...
Anyone other MDIer think it is funny that we have not heard one word from Dorothy, not even a good luck, nothing. She took the money and ran. She does not give a crap about all of us. ...

I thought we all need a laugh. I was typing the other night and it was supposed to say "the patient had internal hemorrhoids," but typed the patient had "mental hemorrhoids." I about fell out of my chair laughing. Very fittiing though because I think MQ gives a lot of us "mental hemorrhoids." ...
Just had to share this. An ad on the local radio inviting "everyone" to a seminar to become a "medical transcriptionist. Earn more money working at home than in an office." I laughed. I would definitely have gone, but unfortunately it is at least 1-2 hours away on a working night. How I wish it was closer. I would have love to have gone and given them an earful. I want to know where those jobs are because I'll go find one. Alas, it is not mean ...

Whatever she's called. I never talk to her on the phone because she is much more interested in what her kids and dogs are doing than what I have to say. She changed my schedule by phone one day, and then called me the day after I was off to find out why I hadn't worked the day before. I went part time and sent her an email with the request, worked the new schedule for over a week before she called me to say she had to evaluate my request for schedule change. Tol ...
I was looking at glassdoor, where you can see reviews of different companies. I was looking to see if there were any reviews on M*Modal. AND there are. The majority are bad -- really bad. What I find funny is that even Indian employees are complaining about them. One of them wrote "Joining here is like you are committing a suicide". So, how bad does a company have to be that even people in India think it is horrible? ...
I got a genuine blooper today. Made me giggle. ESL trying to be helpful and dictated, "BNP, that's B like boy, N like Nancy, and P like appetite."

I put my resume up on one of the resume sites and it had an area where you could find out what the local and national average salary of whatever career you are in. I typed in Medical Transcriptionist and my area. Locally, I should be making $38,600, and on a national level I should be making $39,000! Are any of us anywhere near those numbers??? I sure as heck am not! My mouth would be totally shut if I was making that. I know there are people who definitely ma ...

After delivery, instead of the infant being placed on the maternal abdomen, the infant was placed on the "maternal aunt." I could picture the mother and aunt lying side by side in the delivery room, with the baby being placed on the aunt's abdomen as a temporary measure. Maybe I need to take a break...

A friend of mine, who as you will observe has been at this game for awhile, wrote this letter to her employer.
Dear ______:
As you know, when I took this job to supplement my Social Security, I was concerned that I would have to limit my hours in order not to exceed the income level that Social Security permits recipients to earn.
I see now that my concerns were needless, and would like to thank you for underpaying me so severely that I am able not only to work full time, but even to ...
