Not in my lifetime...

You won't get paid any more than maybe half a cent, and even then you have to pay, pay, and pay some more to keep it up; it's a money pit...  It's not like you can put it on your reports XX/xxx, CMT, so no one knows that you are certified but you and the money grubbers at AHDI...  So sad...

This is on tomorrow night.  It looks good, although, Lifetime Movies are not everyone's cup of tea!  


Will & Grace is on Lifetime!!! sm
Just thought I'd let everyone that loves this show know, which everyone probably already knows, but hey, I'm excited. I love the show and am so glad Lifetime is finally getting some new shows for their morning TV. 
I was told exactly like you, not in your lifetime
that was approximately 1992 and I am using VR each and every day now. My pay has skyrocketed downward from then to $20,000 less now. Pretty soon I guess I will have to start paying a company just so I can work??
not waste a lifetime babying an....sm

Not waste a lifetime babying a (supposed-to-be) grown man........


like I always say, it's all about choices......best of luck.....


I just checked my lifetime IT productivity sm
which is about four years, and it says 2.63 characters per keystroke.  For the first year or so I was not using it to it's fullest potential so who knows.  I haven't worked yet tonight, but I might come back with some of tonight's stats if I remember.
Chance of a lifetime - take this advice
IMHO you *always* give a break/lower rate to your first clients... You have to get your foot in the door.

Take .12/line and consider youself LUCKY.

As this poster says, be sure to spell out exactly what you will do for this rate - other services can be billed extra. I would ask for reevaluation in 6 months but offer them .12 to start.

If you don't want to *always* be looking over your shoulder at competitors who will steal your accounts for a fraction of a cent! bid low. You can afford the lower rate because of the overhead you won't have to pay that the bigger companies do...
You sound like me! We just returned not too long ago and it was the vacation of a lifetime for us! W
stayed in Kissimmee (sp) and I am STILL talking about that place! The parks! the food! the area! I loved it ALL! I didn't want to leave! It was an amazing experience. I didn't have enough time to do all the shopping that I was dying to do! Did you see those designer outlet malls?? Next time.

I'm glad you had fun! Hey, who said Disney is just for kids???
Medtronic pacemakers recalled......boy! have I typed on a bunch of those in my lifetime. It was

I guess if you know anybody who has one - tell them to double check to see if it was one of their models.  :(
