Maybe this is why you can't find a job. Don't jump all over me, I haven't worked since Sept. so don't come on here blasting me for not feeling sorry for you.
Where has all the work gone, or the majority of it? Answer that question and you may be able to get over feeling sorry for yourself long enough to figure it out.
I guess you have not had the pleasure of calling one of the infamous call centers that have all ouotsourced to India. It is always Bob or Joseph that answers the phone, get it now?

how very supportive of you
I guess you are trying to be funny, but this is not a very helpful post. I also don't get the Bob or Joseph part. Huh?
Do you have any suggestions or advise just giving up, so I don't become as cynical as you are?
The best way to help is to be supportive by putting
You didn't get pregnant. You sound very self rightous and with I told you so attitude. A decision to carry the pregnancy, terminate it or give up for adoption is not one to be made lightly or out of guilt because someone forced their own opinions down the throat of someone who obviously needs help. Being condescending doesn't bolster her self image to find the courage to live with whatever decision she makes. She needs support, not degradation, not put downs, not made to feel worse than she already does. This is a decision she will live with every day...not one you will have on your mind every day of your life.
Knowledge knows when to speak. Wisdowm knows when to listen.
Thanks for the supportive words - sm
What really is getting to me lately is that I am an IC. Technically I can work whenever I want to work. My plan for the summer was to work early mornings. My kiddos like to sleep in. But, as it turns out, there usually is next to nothing to work on in the early morning. The work builds up throughout the morning and usually is full-blown by late afternoon, so that plan is not working. Looks like my only option is late night transcription, but that won't always work either, as far as availability of work. My "sweet" little guys are sleeping soundly right now and I am starting to breathe normally again!
The tone was not supportive
I am sorry, but the message was completely overbearing and rude. There would have been many more ways to go about giving the message with being so mean about it. Why be rude to someone who is already upset. That just isn't right.
Thank ya'll for the supportive words...sm
it naturally hasn't been easy today - especially getting up this morning and feeding the other cat and dog and knowing that I didn't have to put food in her bowl. My niece came over today and brought a flower for her grave. I have sent in a post for Rainbow Bridge but it hasn't shown up yet. I'm presuming that the owner probably screens post requests?
I'd love to see how supportive you'd be of this person
Because people like this don't make "a mistake," they make a lifetime of messing around in other people's lives and then looking for support and pity before going on to do it again and again.
Yes, and his team members were supportive, which will help. sm
I've been trying to think of where I saw Kelly LeBrock before -- wasn't she the one who did those commercials for the shampoo, saying "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful?" I might be thinking of someone else. I guess I'm showing my age, just by mentioning that commercial ... oops. 
Excellent, supportive comment, Fly. :) nm

Just wanted to say "Thanks" for all the supportive posts...
I will let you know how the mammogram turns out. All prayers appreciated!
Your tone makes it very difficult to be supportive. nm

Ya'll have been so supportive and wonderful. Can I be honest? sm
This is absolutely a dream job for me. I was also told yesterday (although I was hesitant to share this info) that they also would like me to write for the company! They gave me a list of topics for the next year (24 of them - 2 per issue) and I can choose whatever topics I feel comfortable with and just write! I'm an avid journaler with a dream all of my life to write a book. So, this whole thing is just blowing me away. I can't believe it.
There are so many writing/freelance writers websites out there with thousands of potential writers and aspiring writers who are dying for a chance like this. I am just humbled.
Talked to hubby last night. He doesn't think I can afford to quit QAing/MTing right now. So, I am going to ask to be very part time and see what they say! I also have to change my schedule around to accommodate this new position.
Thank you, each and every one of you, for your very positive response. You know, I didn't receive one negative response and I am just so surprised! Thanks again.

You have a schedule, what you don't have is a supportive husband..not adivce from me..just sympat

People are supportive in different ways. My style offends, I can see that. SM
All I am trying to say to CS (the original poster) is that her career self-esteem shouldn't be based on passing or failing the CMT exam and definitely career advancement has nothing to do with passing or failing the CMT examination. And nothing the AAMT has to offer is worth the price of admission to their association.
CS needs to have confidence in her skill level without looking for validation from an organization that has invalidated us all by endorsing the outsourcing of American jobs overseas.
She needs to realize her mistake now and not give any more of her money or time to the AAMT.
