Breakfast sausage in white gravy over canned biscuits... MMMmmm! Biskits and gravy!

Not much different than eating French toast with a side of bacon and scrambled eggs w/cheese. nm

Where do you think the bacon comes from that you

If you had sweet tea and biscuits then you qualify as a....

I served it with biscuits and veggies.
Made the broth gravy and so it went well with the biscuits.
Have you had the frozen Mary B's biscuits?

Bacon, egg, and cheese on toasted bagel. DH cooked again.

Bacon-wrapped scallops, fettucini alfredo,
broccoli, and fresh blueberry shortcake.
Oh, me too!!! When I got my first microwave (very expensive) we all watched the bacon cooking.

Creamy chicken and veggies with pasta and homemade biscuits...

Oh yeah, try it on top of eggs...yum.

Never put all of your eggs in one basket!

Flexibility is the "key" in this profession, and also you have the type of job that not just anyone can do and be good at it.  Schools promise you the world, but they do in all professions.  Life is what you make of it, and that is the true bottom line!  Have fun, and keep typing!  There are so many doctors that like to have a Transcriptionist they can rely on.  Most offices decide once they send it out, to bring it back actually because they don't want to edit their own work!  We spoil them, not the EMRs, and believe me they like that!


What about the one that's in your bed serving breakfast? nm

Breakfast for dinner!!!! ....
What good comfort food is that!!! Breakfast for dinner!!!!
Don't you have to eat, like, hamburgers for breakfast sm
on that diet? I knew a gal who did and nearly barfed when she said she ate burgers for breakfast. Yuk.
Moe's for dad, lunchable for son, breakfast for me
We are all eating different tonight!
Still trying to figure out breakfast LOL

No-Doz..... breakfast (and sometimes dinner!) of
PS: Bananas seem to help, too. All that potassium, I guess. They make me bounce off the walls.
Gravy train?

I wouldn't call it ever being a gravy train.  We are highly trained professionals who work hard at what we do and we do it darn good, thank you very much.  It's not like we sat here eating our bon bons and getting upset because the banging away at the keyboard ruined our new manicure!  To say it was a gravy train is downright insulting, IMO. 


That said, I don't have 30+ years in this profession but I do have 15+ years including working in-house and remotely from home.  My first at-home was around 1997 for a small company doing straight transcription, none of this VR stuff, which lasted only about 4 months until the work dried up.  The pay was good while it lasted though and there was 24 TAT, no punching a time clock and sticking to a strict schedule. As long as the work got down within 24 hours it was fine.  That same company is still around today as a national but not huge like others out there.  I ended up having to go back in-house and was there until about 4 years ago when I signed on with a very well known national that screws people to the Q, if you get my drift.  I don't know when the MT biz as a whole went into the toilet, but up until 2 years ago I had no problem.  I was working hard all the time as work was available basically 24/7.  Never did I get NJA except for an occasional week or two around the holidays but very quickly the workload would start to pick up.  I had a GREAT supervisor who made working fun and made us feel like we were a real team.  The company always had bonus incentives with quirky little games.  It may sound corny but it actually made us feel valued and brought some fun into it while making good money at the same time.  Then about 2 years ago, things started changing for the worst and it's been going downhill FAST every since.  Maybe the offshoring and technological advances have something to do with it, I really don't know.  One thing I do know, I DO NOT advise anybody new starting in this profession now.  What once was a professional and lucrative career has basically been made into a sweat shop scam for the so called "training programs" and large nationals to make a nice profit at the expense of the MTs.  It is such a cut throat business with accounts going to the lowest bidder just to save a few bucks.  I only hope that things will turn around some day soon and MT can be the professional career it once used to be.


Please don't say it was a gravy train.  Thank you.


mid -90 in WI and humid...fried eggs, anyone? nm
nm
I've sold my eggs...

well, my chicken's eggs really.  Although now that I rethink that, perhaps selling various pieces parts would pay a few more bills....hmmm....


Seasonal things make good spare cash too like an honor-system veggie table  parked at the end of the driveway and homemade wreaths and x-mas centerpieces made from local greenery. 

Oh the possibilities are endless if you posess a certain moral flexibility!   I've been thinking of rigging up a pay-per-view "boobie cam" pointed my way to make some extra cash while I type away.  "PayPal Accepted!"   



 


i didn't say the reduction was gravy
i said what you have been getting up til now IS gravy -- you've been paid high-dollar for ASR when you don't have to do anything but edit.
How about a "What's for Breakfast" Post?
Coffee, gotta have coffee...that's about it lately! B O R I N G !
The first breakfast convenience foods --
looked kind of like big tootsie rolls! ROFL!!!


Just ate some B&G that DD made, except I like my gravy on toast. nm
:L
I have gravy accounts, but I still plan to get out.
I have my own accounts, 14 cpl, and average 300 lph - or more.  You do the math.  Great $$, but I am tired of typing.  And I am tired of the lack of the respect MTs get.  And I am tired of the not so great MTs that make all of us look bad.  And I am sick of the wages being driven down because of big MT companies wanting to pay 7 or 8 cpl and make a big profit for themselves.  And I am sick of the companies sending work overseas.
Steak and gravy recipe...sm
I have eye of round and want to make a steak and gravy dish!!!!!!!!! Any recipes?  I have never made this before and I am not good with cooking meat, mine is always tough as shoe leather.  What is the secret to tender meat?
oh geez....breakfast anyone?...droool!--sm
if you get the recipe, please share. sounds yummy!thanks.
No-Doz! ("It's not just for breakfast, anymore!")
;D
Bunch of cracked eggs, I say! LMAO
.
GREAT advice-not putting eggs...sm
all in one basket.  Just leads to disaster later.
crockpot chicken/gravy over rice
Brown up chicken breasts and put in crockpot. pour mixture of Cream of chicken soup,dried onion,parsley and 1/2 can water over the top. cook on low all afternoon and serve over rice.
buffer bites, taters and gravy with
broccoli and cheeze ... (bite = cut up buffalo roast into little bites and fry them up)
Treadmill is best for losing fat, done in the morning before breakfast. sm
If you do it before you eat, you will burn fat instead of glycogen. This may take a bit of getting used to at first, but it also makes your day go better because once your body gets use to it, it provides a lot of energy. Do this every other day for about 30-45 minutes, but no more than that.

Everybody has a sixpack - just a matter of getting down to it.


Off topic but need STAT ADVISE on deviled eggs

Hi,


I need help as I don't want to make anyone sick LOL.  Baby shower tomorrow night, my co-host who was making the deviled eggs along with other things broke her wrist this morning...soooo, I am in a time crunch and would like to know if I can make these things tonight (36), just boil them tonight, maybe do the prep just fill them tomorrow??  I usually make them & take them or serve them, but don't know about preparing them this 24 hrs ahead of time.


Thank any of you experts in advance for your opinions..this is so much easier than trying to call Betty Crocker


a guy with a mule and wagon delivering fresh eggs to
Vacation bible school. Lassie every Sunday nite at 7. Building tree forts with my brother. My dad giving some change to live on everytime we threatened to run away.
Not a chowder, more like (?) pork with milk sauce/gravy. . . nm

Everyone gets a night to pick what they want and tonight it is breakfast. Nmsg

In the kitchen having breakfast. Turned on the TV and Charlie Gibson was on
when it was after 9:00. The first building was smoking behind him and he was describing it, not yet realizing what was going on. Then the second plane glided into view, and thinking it was a small observation plane, I said - "Get back, you idi*t, you're too close!" Then it hit, of course, and Charlie processed it in his brain and announced what I couldn't get my mind around: "Then this was no accident."
Barbecued chicken, pastry, deviled eggs, & hushpuppies

Breakfast at Tiffany's, Rebecca, Wuthering Heights -- I really should come into the present but I
just love all of the old movies so much more than the new stuff, although some of it is okay.  For current I would have to say Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man and Gladiator, cause I just think Russell Crowe is a wonderful actor, although not too sure of his true personality.
Unfortunately, this guy had a nervous breakdown and that gravy train came to screeching halt!
