Whatever time frame works for you. The point is

If you have to keep looking up your entries, it is not functional! LOL You're just looking up something else!

The point is to have Expanders you don't even have to think about. They just automatically flow with the text and you don't have to even think about using them.

Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
I reached that point a LONG time ago
The only thing that has changed is the fact that we hear about it more now. The monsters were there forever ago and will be here forever. Thankfully the reporting IS more intense and parents are more aware.

I was molested by a next door neighbor. Never said a word to anyone.

I raised my children in the same home as I was raised (my parents moved and I took over the home). The whole neiborhood was different and my next door neighbor was gone. My mom told me to never let the kids out of my sight because the neighborhood was "not the same as it was" when I was a kid.

It had become more ethnic; therefore, it was "not the same" to her.

Little did she know that because of my experience back when the neighborhood was "good", I would NEVER trust my children to ANYONE (sadly including her) nor roam the neighborhood. Not just because of what happened to me, but because I knew I was responsible for my kids.

This is not to say that parents should be to blame for any evil that occurs. Evil people are to blame. But I was going to do my best to harbor them from as much evil as possible and hopefully I did.

They are grown now and to the best of my knowledge, never fell prey to what I did. But.. nothing has changed. The preditors will be there until the end of time. We must protect our children the best we can.

No, we should not let them out of our sights. If you had a diamond that was the size of a salad bowl, who would you trust it with? Children are precious and cannot be replaced.
Well, my point was that everyone, despite being busy, needs some free time as well. That's all. N

works every time
Buy a can of peaches.  Give him a couple tablespoons of the syrup only!  If he keeps it down, give him couple more in about 1/2 hour.  Worked every single time with all my kids. 
A really pretty silver picture frame. Its so nice!

Got very nice letter and beautiful picture frame.

and so many times at JUST the right time!!! Congratulations!! I am blessed to have an appreciative husband too! I just got a 2005 PT Cruiser (car) because of hard work and obligation to taking up the slack... love that PT Cruiser!!! lol
One of my long-time friends works on the same
account and she can't wait for me to get started. She is overwhelmed with work and types a little 20,000 lines per payperiod. I've been assigned to her account. So, I guess there IS work.

If it turns out there isn't, then I will move along.

What I will NOT do is trash the company on the boards and join this really sad crab club on here. That's too far down in the bucket for me to go.

Good bye and so sorry for you.
I have a hugfest with my dogs. Works every time! nm

You obviously didn't read the post carefully. Try again in a more sober frame of mind.
It made sense to me.
It's always the first thing a computer person asks me...lol! And it works a lot of the time. nm

I would suggest that several of you choose a time and day to meet in chat. That usually works

I didn't apply, so that's a moot point. The point I was making is that
she's ranting here about something that doesn't even pertain to most of us. You can't come to a MT message board railing at MTs without getting a response. That's why it's not called MTSOstars. Also, it's unprofessional of a business owner to let her emotions overrule her common sense. As for the newbies, they'll learn. We were all newbies at one time or another. None of us was born perfect, not even the MTSO.
You missed my point. My point wasn't perks but prestige...nm

The point wasn't that it was copyrighted. The point the poster tried to make

Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

not my point, actually. My point was the bigotry is the same.
The bigotry's always there. Not all "Mexicans" are Mexican, nor are they all illegal. My point is, though, people used to make remarks about cabbage smell about the Irish just like comments are made now about how nasty Mexicans are.

Every time somebody says something about "those people," something bigoted is coming out. That's all I'm saying.

Cannot legally require you to commit time to them as an employee and then not pay you for that time.

full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
Maybe they will. Give it time. It takes time to set up links.
OSI, Precyse, etc tell us more.
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...

newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)

I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.

There is a new classification called part time.

I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

its a waste of time yet you take the time to respond?

**yawn time for your bed time old thinker*
Hippie??  What pray tell is a hippie?  Im not judgmental..I dont care what another is partying about or with or whom they are with..Im not a cop or the warmonger in the White House..far be it from me to judge another..You, however, by your post seem to have grown old before your time..I recommend you just graze on your back yard grass and leave us **alive ones** alone..**yawn**, time for you to go to bed now, hun?  Bye..bye..old person..
I do believe she is good enough, and has more than proved that time and time again. NM

part-time or full-time
I'm curious. Are you FT or PT? Thanks.
4 week's time or 4 weeks' time
Does anyone know this one. I will see the patient back in 4 week's time, 4 weeks' time or 4 weeks time. Can't seem to find this in any of my reference books. Thanks in advance.
1 full time and 1 part time for now
I am still pretty new, so that is all I am taking on. I may take on more after I get more experience, if possible.
I never denied that I need a break from time to time, but
I was just stating how I took her post and the fact that I am worried about how my son will react since he is already getting quite upset. But, yes, any parent SHOULD be able to admit that they need a break from time to time...we're only human too! :)
even ISPs have to do maintenance from time to time--sm
and most do this during the wee hours of the morning when MOST people are sleeping and not using the internet. They need to upgrade their services and virus protection just like the home users. This is probably what occurred.
I recently requested time off for the first time...
(3 days off) and gave 2 weeks notice but was asked by my boss to give more notice next time.  I thought 2 weeks was decent, but next time I will give at least 30 days.
Do we enter each time there is a new prize, or just the one time?

thanks.

Virtually never. Time spent doing that is time SM
that could be spent typing. Instead of stopping to listen, then typing to catch up, I scan AHEAD of the dictation as I type, looking for upcoming questionable areas.
A point well taken. However.....sm

 


...on the other hand the June Cleavers of the past had no alternatives.  The liberation of women over the past half-century has given us the strength and self-reliance to walk away from an abusive or dead relationship or marriage.


 


I see your point quite clearly.

The FBI has consultants over there.  There have been search teams from day 1 and also a search team from Texas.  These people have cooperated with US government.  They are also conducting an investigation of one of their citizens who more than likely has rights not to be interogated by a foreign government.  You seem to think these people are illiterate and stupid.  You have preconceived notions from the media and Mrs. Twitty that the Arubans are protesting, which is this country is like a third-world country run by idiots and keystone cops.    So open your mind and think things thru.  Our government has messed up so many things in its own right (sex offfenders lost in the system or set free for example) why would you think they could get this right?


The point is?

"Can you believe there is trainee from India, living here in the U.S., who has been training on my primary account for the past TWO months at least....the problem is all she wants to do are the good American dictators and she is ALLOWED to skip, pass over, cherry pick past her own countrymen's bad dictations."


You have a high up source in your company who told you this?  Why?  And this issue has not been discussed with those in charge?  Why?


What platform is this Indian in America working on that she can cherry pick past her "countrymen's bad dictations"


The only reason I question this is because it would be very ethical for this high up source to be telling you this and if you get mad enough you could blow the whistle.  But since I have no dim-witted unethical high sources in my company who will actually tell me there is an Indian MT who is living in America and for two months has been "allowed" to cherry pick I couldn't fathom how you could possibly have this info. 


So you knowing this is probably not good for your blood pressure or your high souce informant's job security.  What's the point in you having this info? 


another point sm
we have failed to mention that working at home can be VERY isolating. Sometimes I go for days and the only other adult I talk to is my husband. If you're on your own, you need to make sure that you stay in touch with friends and family, or else you can become very isolated before you know it! There's a lot to think about when it comes to working at home, these are just a few of the issues being discussed here!
I see your point.

I'm not afraid of my kids, and I am their parent, not friend.  I just don't want to completely isolate them from the world.  I don't think controlling behavior is healthy because it can backfire and cause rebellion.  (Personal experience.)  There comes a point when you have to turn your kids loose in the world and hope that all of your parenting sticks with them.  Meanwhile, I was just wondering if there were any nice kids left in the world, or if I'm just overly anal or judgmental.


I let these kids on my property, but I'll admit that I'm tired of having to watch them so closely.  I correct their bad language, call them on their lies, check pockets before they leave, or hide things so nothing gets stolen.  My kids aren't the Hitlers, but I don't see why I have to be so diligent with other peoples' kids.  And no, my kids and I are not perfect.  I just don't know where to find "nice" friends.
