Blue on the walls, textured olive green carpet,

hydrangea sculptured border, olive green curtains I designed and made, 2 office chairs to give the ol' back a break, desk placed just so in order to be able to look out 2 different windows, 1-3 cats who come and stay as they please, and 1 little dog who never leaves the office unless I do.  There are also the necessary things like a bookcase, printer, backup computer, nik-nacks and paddy wacks.


I am so completely blessed cause I have all this AND get paid!  Who wouda thunk??


Your best bet is your local Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield company, depending on where you live

Here in Idaho, we have both companies but a lot of other states have BC/BS combined. Our family has a policy through Regence Blue Shield that is $196 for my husband and three kids. It has a $25 office copay and it is a limited policy, which is 12 office visits a year and lab up to $300. It works great for us because we never got to the doctor, yet we have it if we need it.


I have an individual policy for major medical, $35 office copay, with our local Blue Cross and it is $59 a month for me and it has prescription coverage too. Not a bad deal. I think they are your best bet for decent coverage at a good price.


Blue Cross/Blue Shield or Mutual of Omaha - Which company pays off claims the best w/o hassle?

The grass may not be greener. sm
The package you were sold might not be as good as you think. I hate to say that, but it's true. You might want to move slowly and not quit outright, although that can be hard to do. Then again, if you're sure, just jump ship. If they're low on work they'll secretly be singing your praises!
grass is always greener
I was with someone straight from moving out of my parent's home for a long time, he had a kid, we both worked, I made all the meals and took care of them.  I longed for my own apartment, my own stuff, a nice, clean, nonsmelly bathroom, without stubble in the sink, and just wanted to be quiet and not have to answer to anyone.  Well...I got it!  Now five years later..its gotten old.  I'm lonely, no sex life, meeting jerks, and so now i'm just frustrated!  The most comforting sound in the world is someone getting up before you, and trying so hard to be quiet.  I just thought of that, it was really nice, I miss it. 
greener grass??

Sounds like you have a dream job.   The grass is definitely not greener elsewhere.  I like my job but  do not make anywhere near 35.00 an hour. 


 


killing grass?
Good question, considering I have a new home and just now have grass starting to show through all this dirt around our house. The last thing I want to do is invest $900 in grass seed and fertilizer only to kill it. Please advise.
Is the grass greener?
Most newbies have trouble even finding a job and you have had the good fortune of finding 3 already that you have thrown to the dogs. If I were you I would get serious and settle for something. You don't want to be labeled "never happy with anything MT." Most companies want commitment and stability from their MTs. They have to keep their customers happy. Well, with that being said, good luck and hope you find the right fit.
Candles that smell like fresh cut grass. sm
Gosh, I just love that smell.  Anyone know where I can purchase something like that?  What a great pick me up for winter.  Also, love the clean smell of fresh rain.  If  I could only bottle that aroma.....
Keep your present job while trying out a new company; the grass may not be greener

AS USUAL

The usual (sm)
eggs, rabbit, all that good fertility stuff. Why o why do you assume everyone celebrates the same Hallmark holidays in the same benefit-the-American-manufacturer way that you do?
I don't think so...no more than usual anyway
Our system is back up at MQ, and we have the largest backlog in MQ history. So apparently...it didn't go anywhere.

What is YOUR USUAL English?...sm
the SLANG English?
Unfortunately, this is business as usual - sm
I was a lab supervisor in Pathology for many years. I watched my lab downsize from 27 people to 7 in 5 years, all because of the almighty dollar. We still had to do ALL the work that 27 people used to. They kept the best and hardest-working, and showed the door to the rest. In our economy, this is the reality of business now. Through the years I have learned to accept this. My only option is to find a new employer and hope that the new job doesn't go the way the other did, but the reality is, it will. So I have to continue to adjust if I want to make it financially. I am a long-divorced mother of 3, have a good work ethic, and by God, I WILL make it! It's sad that we have to work harder just to make the same money, or even less, but this is not a phenomenon unique to our careers. Everyone else is feeling it, too. I feel the responsible thing to do is to provide the services demanded by my employer or seek employment elsewhere.
You're probably right. The grass always seems greener on the opposite side of the fence though!
Thanks for the input!

Are you sure it is a google ad? It's where the usual paid ads
are but it might be a Google ad. Maybe it is a yahoo ad. I am looking at a yahoo ad now up there. Google ads are smaller but I guess I have never seen yahoo ads that I paid attention to.
It's RAINING here in San Francisco, as usual!
So far in April we have had only 2 sunny days. In March we had 27 rainy days. It's getting ridiculous!
Work as usual on holiday - sm
As an IC, if I can find time, I will work as usual on a holiday. Being an IC means you kinda need to fulfill your client's needs. So, if they need me to work a little extra or work on the holiday, I will do my best to meet their needs. Sometimes, I can not, but most times I will do what they need.

Mind you, I have my own clients, not an MT company. It is my philosphy that I need to keep my clients happy and exceed their expectations in fulfilling their needs or they will look somewhere else for my services.

Hope this helps you, even if in a small way.

I would like to say, it is an adjustment going from employee to IC. Some need to change their way of thinking and start thinking like a "business" owner. It is not just a job, but your business and your career.




Another assumer, as usual wrong!
By the way you sign in, MTmom, hmmmmmmmm sounds like the ones I have been talking about, trying to supermom it and work and complaining all the time. If you had read the post above mine, the person stated MTing was boring as sin and yet saying I was whining? I lead now the most perfect existence I could never have imagined and it has taken me years to get to where I am in life. Everyone should be so blessed! Oh by the way, what a really bad thing to do is to call another human ignorant. I just let Karma handle things like that. I am saying what I read here all the time and if you are offended, then you probably are one that the shoe fits.

Need alternative to usual Labor Day cookout
We are having a family get-together on Labor Day. We usually grill hamburgers and hot dogs, but I was trying to think of something different this year. Any suggestions? There will be young kids there, so it would have to be something they could enjoy as well. Thanks!
Right as usual Hayseed! And what about British dialects - sm
such as a strong Cockney accent compared to upper-crust Londoners.... it's like a different language. Every country in the world has similarities in their respective languages as well. Has less to do with color than it does social class, location, education (or lack thereof), etc.
blame the victims as usual shame on you

Profession has turned into a prodution line and its the MTs themselves that are turning it into that, not the MTSOs.

Blue ?

 HELP.  Has anybody heard of, or used a transcription platform called "Blue".....  (something...don't know what...).   I heard  somewhere(?) about this  "Blue..." system and apparently it's supposed to be super ?!!   Anybody have a clue?  .   TY in advance. 


Yes, I have the blue W and
I have typed a few reports using these steps and it does report, and no one is complaining about format so I guess it works.  Thanks a bunch for your help.
I'd give anything for blue!

My carpeting is pink, not rose, but pink.  Apparently the previous owners to the person we bought our house from also had a pink stove and pink refrigerator with horrid looking kitchen wallpaper with big pink roses on it.


If that's not bad enough my bathroom is purple.  Lilacs on the wallpaper, purple tub, flush and sink. My daughter used to call it the "Barney bathroom."


Great neighborhood though.

what do the sad looking blue smiley faces mean beside some of the threads? 
The blue lines don't mean anything on the (sm)

Did you try right clicking on the blue bar?
There should be a place to check for an address bar.

The audience would be the blue states,

aka, the ones who voted for Kerry.  I guarantee this movie will flop in the red states.  It's just one more attempt to push the gay agenda down our throats, making it more mainstream and palatable.  Won't happen in my state, Texas.  There is no such thing as a gay cowboy, that's an oxymoron. 


blue screen of death

I'm not sure if he went back to myspace a second time, I'll have to ask him.  Thanks for all the help.  I got it at Best Buy so I think I'll take it back there and see what they have to say also. I just don't want him away at college and have the darn thing crashing all the time.  It's not like you can just keep buying new ones at that price!



It still happens, mostly in blue collar jobs,
jobs,too, but not as much.  The employer tells them they are IC, but there are still many people out there who don't understand what that exactly means.  All they see is the extra money on their paycheck and they figure they'll worry about the taxes later, or don't fully understand the implications of being IC and don't know what a 1099 is.  Rack it up to immaturity or being naive, but it still happens.  The IRS has cracked down in recent years and has it's criteria for IC status, which doesn't apply to everyone (look at real estate agents, who can only work for one broker, but yet be an IC). It is beneficial to the employer because it saves the employer money on the SS 'match', plus savings on work comp insurance, unemployment taxes, liability insurance.  To me, being an IC means I don't have an employer - I have a customer and I must do the work they hired me to do or I will lose that customer to someone else.
And how do you know they weren't cussing up a blue

I second that, Wild Blue works well (sm)
for me. Tried Hughes a few years back and it was awful but maybe they are improved now. Have had Wildblue for 2 years and it works pretty good.
