This is why there is such misconception (sm)

about why working at home is thought of as not working at all!  I just found this article as a HEADLINE on my Yahoo home page today.


Seven Ways to Be Happier at Work:


1.  Telecommute. Sometimes a good way to find happiness is to just stay home. Would you enjoy playing tennis with friends during the day? Rolling on the floor with Fido? Watching daytime soaps or CNBC's stock ticker? Who cares as long as the daily work gets done? Pitch your boss on telecommuting. If he or she resists, offer to go on a short leash; for example, agree to submit twice-a-day work progress reports.

There's a reason why it's still called WORK at home and this kinda rubbed me reading it, because I think a lot of people, new to this line of work especially (transcription from home), fail at it.  To make a decent paycheck, I have to be glued to my keys for 8 hours a day--not a few hours here and a few hours there.  What's your opinion of the above statement?

There is also a misconception
about the money we make -- unless we tell them I think people assume we don't make much since we ONLY type. LOL.

Back when I was single (now this was before I worked at home, but I am talking about MTing in general now) I was dating a guy and he broke up with me to go back with his ex-girlfriend. She was a nursing assistant. She told me that she knew why he chose her. She said that I might have had nice hair and big boobs but SHE MADE THE BIG MONEY. I almost fell down laughing. She made $8 or $9 an hour. I was making $18 to $20 an hour working in house at a hospital at the time. LOL. And I make even more now....his loss is my hubby's gain. ROFLOL.
