Gas Mileage

You do that anyway - that is, if you like descending the precipice in a slow and controlled manner as opposed to the alternative...

(Waaa-Hoo-Hoo-Hooooiiiiieeee!!) >_<

We usually practice mutual knot checks. So far, my fellow instructors have yet to find a problem with one of my knows or rigging, but you never know, and the one time I skip the check is the one time someone has a real exciting time.

"Ray O"...

I don't think I ever did this before, but...

:-P

Call Diogenes! An honest man!

:-)

Natalie

Are you referring to outside dimensions or interior?

YEOW!

"Ray O" ...

You've been infected by Hachi!

Natalie

But you're the impetus!

He's still a rookie. It takes a while to recover from your first fwap.

Not if we immunize him.

Natalie

It doesn't work for you, because you *like* it.

"Persistent" huh? Is that the new euphemism for stalking?

:-P

Natalie

No, you and Scott just try to get bikini shots. :-P

Natalie

I figure you'd share the take at A.B.I.F.

"Scott in Florida" "Wickeddoll®"

If you think a restraining order is a kick, then yeah.

:-P

Feh

At age 50, it's flattering, actually.

Natalie

"Wickeddoll®"

Right in the jewels.

Natalie

muhahaha!

Natalie

That is probably less painful than her denuding fork!

um...

I work from home, so I have no regular hours, and...

I'm a grownup.

:-P

I left nursing about 3 years ago. I now edit medical transcription. Basically, I look over medical notes, to make sure a) The transcription is accurately typed, and b) The doctor didn't say the wrong thing (which could be a liability). Doctors sometimes say the wrong thing, even though they know better, so I catch stuff that doesn't make sense medically. Most transcriptionists do not have a nursing background, so they type what they think the doctor said, often not knowing what the words mean, just knowing how to spell them. I *usually* do know what they mean, and whether they're relevant to the case at hand. Example: The words "dysphagia" and "dysphasia" - the first is related to digestion, the second speech, but a standard transcriptionist (or voice-recognition software) may type "dysphasia" on a gastrointestinal patient, which is dead wrong.

I was very fortunate to fall into this - my first job in the Air Force was as a Morse Code transcriber, so I learned to type by what I *hear* rather than what I see (about 110 WPM at last check). With my nursing background, recognizing potentially serious errors, and being able to quickly type in the correct terminology, is a very valuable commodity in today's medical community. (patients are so damned sue-happy as it is). The company I work for deals in voice-recognition software, but I've edited human-transcribed stuff too. I do the work on my laptop, sitting in my bed, wearing pajamas. No commuting! I'll also be able to continue working for them no matter where we move (hubby's next assignment will probably be overseas).

My employees *love* me, which is great. I love them too! LOL (my supervisor is a former R.N., herself)

"Wickeddoll®" ...

Of course that's "employers" not employees. I'm a worker bee.

LOL
