If anyone wonders -- not that most of you don't work with me already, apparently -- it's October, so I'm not around much because I'm at the haunted house: Netherworld. Basically, as far as I'm concerned, from Dragon*Con to Halloween is my busy season. If I'm not actually at one of the various events (including the WABE Fall Pledge Drive -- you can pledge online!) I'm seriously on R&R. If I have any energy left, it's spent on family and medical transcription class.
This is the Hell Week:
Today: Netherworld, 5:30 p.m. till close
Monday: WABE, 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.; Netherworld, 5:30 p.m. till close
Tuesday: WABE, 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Wednesday: WABE, 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.; tentative SCA meeting, 8-9 p.m.; "Lost," 9-10 p.m. (or Tivo'ed)
Thursday: WABE, 12-3 p.m.; Netherworld, 5:30 p.m. till close
Friday: WABE, 12-3 p.m.; Netherworld, 5:30 p.m. till close
Saturday: Netherworld, 5:30 p.m. till close
Sunday: Netherworld, 5:30 p.m. till close
Monday, Oct. 23: Netherworld, 5:30 p.m. till close
Tuesday, Oct. 24: NOTHING! FALL-DOWN-GO-BOOM!
Yeah, hell week is nine days long. And I'm expecting my period any minute now.
So, anyone who feels like offering sympathy, chocolate or backrubs to the heroic
heofmanynames, who feeds the scyllacat and makes sure the furnace comes on and the computer network stays up, start NOW!

Medical transcription class?

I do need to give
Re: Medical transcription class?
Date: 2006-10-17 12:00 pm (UTC)The program (on the Internet) builds from the basics to more complex topics, from basic medical word roots to anatomy to specialties. So you're using what you learned as the basis for the next thing. The exercises are relatively small chunks, so it's easy to jump in for just a few minutes, and that adds up! I review by going back to the quizzes periodically and noting if I have missed or forgotten anything, which I'm putting in a file for my midterm review.
After the midterm, I'll be actually transcribing recordings, and then I guess I'll know if I'm really cut out for the work, and start looking into applying for jobs.
Yeah, I want to do it for (I suspect) most of the reasons you do: no more long commutes, expensive business wardrobe, or car expenses. More time to spend with family and on my own turf.
And I passed the message on to Charlie. I'm also twisting his arm on this subject, so we'll see what we work out.
