Just hit about 300 lines in less than 2 hours. For me during daytime, with some of my least favorite doctors and several unfamiliar words to look up, that’s not too bad. On a good day, with good doctors, I can do 200 lines in one hour, but that’s not been my luck so far. It’s lunchtime now, so I can type this without losing any time. Brent still has Ariel out and about, but then the ideal is for her to come home and take a nice, long nap (which she hasn’t been doing lately, making it harder to get anything done), so I can continue working without disturbance, and maybe play with her for a little either before or after dinner. I hate not having time to play with my daughter, after all, that’s why I’m here.

Some days the worst part of medical transcription are the days when you just keep hitting the wrong keys. Gets worse when the wrong keys turn up a word expansion I didn’t mean to do, so instead of deleting a couple letters, I may have to delete an entire phrase. But word expanders are very worthwhile in medical transcription and save lots of keystrokes. Probably useful elsewhere as well, but I’m generally less concerned with that.
