Really? I posted last week and told myself I would post again early this week. Then one day happened and another day happened and yada yada yada!
Part of the problem is the main account I transcribe for converted to editing this month. That means instead of typing everything the doctor says, it is run through a voice recognition software, which makes a total hash of what the doctor says and then I go in and fix it. For instance:
A Vicodin she is also complaining of uterine prolapse was an OB/GYN and recommended to have surgery at _____ and has chest pain and he has been out of breath accompanied by Mary John for she is on no known allergies.
As you can see, the software has a hard time distinguishing between "he" and "she", has a hard time hearing a lot of words correctly and telling when one sentence ends and another begins. It doesn't help that this particular doctor has a bit of a lisp either. So now I get to do this everyday instead of straight typing. Yes, it is actually faster to do a file when most of it is already typed. But I don't get paid as much as a result, so I have to process more dictations to make the same amount I was making before. I have picked up a tremendous amount of speed just in the last week, though. And unfortunately, this is the wave of the future, so I am just going to have to get really, really good at it. Which I will! But in the past week I have been working a lot to get used to editing all the time instead of just typing.
So anyway, here's a pretty card for you!!!!
Ingredients: Stamps - Oh, Whale!, Itty Bitty Banners; Paper - Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP, Marina Mist, Pacific Point, Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Lucky Limeade; Ink - Melon Mambo, Basic Gray; Other - Melon Mambo Striped Organdy, Happy Whale Clearlit, Bitty Banners Framelits, Brights & Subltes Designer Buttons, Whisper White baker's twine, Cloudy Day embossing folder, dimensionals, clear EP.
STINKIN' CUTE!!! (YILM!) I just adore this little whale and had fun making this. The new ink pads give such a nice even coverage and stay wet long enough that if you work quickly, you can use them to emboss, which is what I did with this little guy!
Well, back to work! I'll try to get back here sooner, really I will! Ta!
Ooh! But it was worth the wait. Love it! So cheery,
Jean ~

Squeeeee! Love how you trimmed the waves in the S&S DSP, and did you really cut those drops over the blow hole by hand? I KNOW that die is just the whale!

Love your card and appreciate any time you can carve out to post. Your life sounds really hectic! Good luck keeping all those balls in the air. That voice recognition software sounds like torture!

As a coder for a group of radiologists, can I say how much I appreciate a good dictation! I have read uncorrected dictations by ER physicians and they can be a mess. Your card is lovely as usual!
