Went to bed Sunday, I was fine... I woke up Monday with pain in my right wrist... which increased until Tuesday afternoon, when I left work in the middle of my shift to go to the doctor.  He diagnosed me with wrist flexor tendonitis.

I took Wednesday off work, am on Percocet (Endocet), and have a brace I've been using off and on... he doesn't want ( Read more... )

Conn's been trying for the last month or more to get vacation from work, and they've been turning him down.  Yet they told him that if he didn't put in for vacation by this week, before the schedule for the next quarter is out, then they'll assign his vacation for him ( Read more... )

Heh, so much for my first day working at home... seems IT hasn't set up my remote account yet, so I'm back into the hospital tomorrow after 3 days of 'vacation' (so quoted cause I've still had to work the Accentus stuff).  And the supervisor who was supposed to put this in motion is apparently on vacation until Tuesday, and the other supervisor is ( Read more... )

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, or EDTA.

From a quick search, it's used to treat calcium buildup, or band keratopathy, in the cornea of the eye. 26 letters. :) Glad I don't have to say it, just cut and paste it :P

I'm waiting very impatiently for the day when I get to work from home. I'm getting less and less tolerant of the others in here, and the tug-of-war over temperature in this room. I sit up front cause it was the only desk available when I started here, and there's a draft in the door, and in a *brilliant* move, our room is right next to the clerk ( Read more... )

Lady from Accentus called last night to talk about working for them, and during the conversation, she asked if I was familiar with operative reports (ORs) and I said yeah, I do on average about 6 a day, all different specialties. She seemed impressed ( Read more... )

Well, had a brief chat with the supervisor today, and she said her plan is to get those of us wanting to work at home out of the office by March 31.  Here's hoping this is the final date, but it should be, as she has already hired people to start by then, and there's no room for them without moving some of us.

I've gotten the bedroom mostly clean ( Read more... )

Just got home from the hospital... I was the only one in there, which also meant no senior transcriptionists to call with issues that of course sprang up within my first hour or two.  Was 7 minutes into a 17-min job, and the voice program suddenly had some sort of error that shut it down. Least I could claim those lost minutes on my stats sheet, ( Read more... )

Well, Jo, I got your bracelet modified while at work today, so it'll be ready for Thursday night. It also caught the eye of a coworker, who I then showed the sterling chain, and promptly ordered a necklace/ring/earring set for herself in sterling, and a necklace/ring set for her daughter in stainless (with bronze for safety rings ( Read more... )

Well, after calling twice, and what apparently was a glitch in their system that prevented the order from printing when I made it, my TRL order finally shipped on Monday, and arrived today ( Read more... )
