A separate specimen labeled "parotid mass #2, further parotid tissue" was considered benign salivary gland tissue.

Return Equipment Labels
Apr 06, 2010

Left MQ the last day of March 2010.  I have read on this board numerous times that that they a long time to send return labels.  I have been gone 1 week and already have return labels, but the joke is, I do not have MQ equipment to send back.  Have been using my own equipment from day one.  I even had to have it repaired a couple months ago and my CCM asked if it was my computer.  If it had been theirs they would have gotten it back then.  Just thought you might enj ...


Got Shipping Labels Today From The Q
Jan 21, 2011

Hey all, I got my shipping labels today.  Y'all were right - they want the PC back, but not the CRT monitor, mouse, speakers, foot pedal, or anything else that I have of theirs.  (They want C-phones back, but my C-phone went back years ago.) Also, thanks for posting that W-2s are on ADP.  I was still able to get into that and get mine. New job is going well so far.  I love my little office!  I also love the fact that I can grow my nails a little.  I ...
