I did it!!!
2008-01-12 20:29:00 After taking the ASUP entrance exam, which was extremely tough, I began applying with other companies. I knew I had failed. Most of my time this week was spent emailing letters/applications/resumes/references. Not an easy thing to do for someone who has been employed for over half her life. I need to ...

Catch 22
2008-01-11 15:13:00 It’s interesting. In the medical transcription field, most companies will not even consider you unless you have 2-3 years’ experience. How the heck are new grads supposed to GET that experience if they won’t hire them? Thankfully, there are a few places that welcome newbies. I think I’ve applied with almost ...

Free as a bird?
2008-01-10 15:09:00 Thanks to Anina for this one. You Would Be a Pet Bird You’re intelligent and witty, yet surprisingly low maintenance. You charm people easily, and they usually love you a lot more than you love them. You resent anyone who tries to own or control you.

Job Hunting at Home. What a Concept.
2008-01-09 16:52:00 It’s only 9:45 a.m. and already I have: Printed and snail mailed a followup letter to a local MT. Applied and did 2 tests for an MTSO online. Posted on the Career Step forum.

Bittersweet
2008-01-08 14:04:00 I received my Final results yesterday. 100% on the objective and 90% on transcription, graduating with Honors. I’m grateful, but I’m also disappointed. I really felt I had what it took to make High Honors. Is is so wrong for me to feel this way? Although retaking the transcription portion is an ... More About: General , Bittersweet
Monday never felt so good?
2008-01-07 13:03:00 Silence. Randy just left for work. I refilled my coffee cup and am writing this, before I transcribe a few reports for practice. It’s hard to believe I’m not stressing over another day at the office. I’m not going up to that place…I don’t have to ever again! I feel ... More About: General , Felt , Good , Monday
Life Reminders
2008-01-06 16:01:00 I’m so glad I have friends who send me stuff that make me snap out of my little pity parties and realize how spoiled I am. Life is good at the Jones house.

?Patience? My Gluteus Maximus!
2008-01-05 20:10:00 Yesterday was a very big downer for me. Most students get their Final results before the two-week waiting period is up. Of course, I’m not most students. Naturally. Okay, so there were a couple of holidays in there. Still, I was really hoping to end the week on a positive ... More About: General , Patience , Maximus

Waiting and Waiting and Waiting?
2007-12-29 19:52:00 Sigh. I’m just not a very patient person. I’m enjoying this time “off” but at the same time, I’m beginning to feel pretty worthless. My Final grades are due on or before January 7. Sigh again. Randy is taking off next week, so we’ll probably do a day trip to Fredericksburg. ... More About: General , Waiting
Brain Dead
2007-12-28 14:25:00 I’m trying to come up with something to write, but there seems to be a larger-than-normal void in this head of mine. After the flurry of activity recently, I think I’m just burned out. I’m ready to put 2007 behind me. Go forward, move ahead…as Devo said. Whip it good! ... More About: General , Dead , Brain

Four More Days
2007-12-26 14:15:00 I’ll be employed for 4 more days, counting today. Then I join the ranks of the unemployed. Scary. In the meantime, I’m not wanting to do much of anything. It’s not easy being in limbo. I have a game plan, but you know how plans have a way of unraveling on you. Randy ... More About: General , Days

The Waiting Room
2007-12-24 16:11:00 First of all, I want to thank everyone who has asked about Randy. After a second doc visit, and a mega-powerful decongestant/antihistimine, he’s feeling much better. I’m relieved for another reason as well. About 30 minutes ago, I submitted my Final exam for grading. Now the wait begins. It will take up to 2 weeks for my ...

Stressed
2007-12-21 14:09:00 Randy is still sick, after over a week. The steroid shot and Z-Pak aren’t doing much good. He has tried every over-the-counter remedy he can think of. I’m worried. It annoys me that they didn’t try to find out the cause of his symptoms. It seems like they just dole ... More About: General

2007-12-19 14:28:00 I transcribed my last report in the Career Step MT course yesterday. It went by without much fanfare, as Randy has been sick with a bad throat infection (possibly Strep). Thankfully, he was able to get in to see the doc yesterday, so hopefully he will be on the other side of it ... More About: General
Beauty out of Damage
2007-12-18 12:15:00 I saw a photograph of Matuschka, a New York artist, a few years ago in a popular women’s magazine. She had an beautiful, intricate tattoo covering where her right breast used to be, before cancer took it. I never forgot that image. I emailed Matuschka to get permission to print this, ...

So Long Dan?
2007-12-17 13:55:00 I was shocked when I read the news of Dan Fogelberg’s death. He passed away yesterday morning from prostate cancer that was diagnosed in 2004. Long before the hits from his 1981 album, The Innocent Age, Dan was making quality music. One of my favorite albums is Netherlands, released in 1977. It’s a ... More About: General

2007-12-14 12:24:00 I know. These guys have probably been around for ages, but that’s how out of the loop I can be. I kept hearing this song on Radio Paradise, so I mentioned it to Randy yesterday. He queried the Painman on his sister station Rock108 about it, and was told that the band, ... More About: Discovery , General

2007-12-13 16:08:00 I’m grumpy. I can’t help it. I really hate trying to blog when I feel like this, because I come off as a major whiner. Oh well. Nobody’s perfect, right? The main thing that bugs me is this in-between stage I’m in. Like I don’t fit in anywhere. I’m just floating through life. It’s bizarre. Last night ... More About: General , Random , Blah , Blah Blah
