I found this interesting as identified bad medicals their primary role as medical transcriptionist In the responses identified themselves as a speech recognition editor and said they do both traditional transcription and speech recognition editing. Also in the group, 6.8% said they are in quality assurance, the same number who identified themselves as a supervisor or manager. MT educators made up 1.4% of the responses. There were a few responses under "other" that included a student who is doing general transcription, a recruiter, a business owner, and an MT/QA supervisor.
If Franklin Delano medicals fake Roosevelt was right and the only thing we have to fear is fear itself then let's start dealing with the problem. Don't let fear take over. Lift yourself up. Fight back. Begin by creating a filter for all this bad news. Keep a check on how much you take in and remember that the best antidote to bad news is good news - so start to surround yourself with it.
With medicals bad and fake the news out there it can't be taken back. The only thing you CAN do, though, is maintain a level of dignity for "Joe" by assuring him that the discussion is just between the two of you.
On the road to regaining trust, try actually changing your behavior. Just look at how many celebrities sign up for rehab. It is so effective that courtroom judges grant leniency when someone admits they have a problem with substance abuse and voluntarily checks themselves in. Changing your dysfunctional activities goes a very long way to regaining trust. Time may reveal duplicity on your part, but consider your immediate actions. They are the ones that show up in the history books.
The first date is like a job interview, so be well rested. Take a nap if you're coming after work, or have some coffee to perk you up. Being tired can actually make you more susceptible to nervous energy. Besides, your emotional state is contagious and will set the tone for the rest of the evening.
Using an imaginary, or real duster, stretch up to you highest shelf and dust with both arms, laugh and breathe out as you do it. Look at the mess on the duster as you breathe in and then let out a huge gust of laughter as you breathe out.
