After commuting 1.5 hours EACH WAY to medical practice in DC from home in Maryland last year and dealing with arrogant, temper-prone docs and back-stabbing staff, I welcomed a good paying home job back with open arms!!!  I've worked several on-site, transcription-related jobs (typing or QA) and the commute, office politics and demand to produce! produce! (without paying me more money) always left me longing for the peace of working from home.

Even the Bible tells us to enjoy the fruits of our labor.  I don't shop, get my hair or nails done - basically I was working to pay everybody else.  I bought an inexpensive, economical boat and have a great out-of-the-house activity to enjoy.  I've met people from all walks of life and it's like a vacation anytime I want!  Yesterday (4th of July) I hung out on the dock at my marina socializing with other boaters, then took my friend and her boyfriend out on the Potomac to watch the fireworks display on the mall in DC.  Ended up spending the night on the boat then heading back home this morning to work. 

I started working from home again just in time for my daughter's making her school's basketball team. I was one of the rare parents who got to attend EVERY game.  I remember how it felt to not have my mom be able to attend tennis matches, field hockey games, track meets because she worked downtown and we lived in the suburbs of Philadelphia.  Things like that keep me motivated when I feel the pangs of monotony.

I keep the job interesting by challenging myself to be even more productive (of course without sacrificing quality).  Making more money consistently takes the edge off boredom. 

Dealing with the aches and pains of transcription can be a challenge, too.  Making adjustments like split keyboard, going back to old monitor instead of flat, placing books under my heel to prevent pedal-induced ache - I just look at it as almost every job has its hazards. 

Work is work and yes, this can get boring.  It's about balance.  Get out of the house.  Join a group and get active.  Take a different job for a while and see if you gain a different perspective or like the other career better.  Whatever you choose, I wish you the best!!

one if my requirements was that there had to be a room that was decent enough to use for my office.  In order to qualify for the IRS home office deduction  you can't use your office as a bed room or anything else.  

I have the best view in the house in my office - I can see outside to the flower garden and also see the road so I can watch the people and cars going by during the day.

to go to Aruba.  My rules when you live in my house no matter how old you are, visitor or family. 

Mrs. Twitty is backing down from her behavior as is her attorney and the Aruban people are demanding it.  Spouting out of control emotionally is not helping her cause nor gathering sympathy for her plight.  She created this madness even to the point of offending the Aruban people. 

You will have an eyeball! I mean, ball.

This will be my 1st, usually my sister-in-law does it. I picked up A Taste of Home's Halloween issue and if that doesn't inspire you to do something this fall, then you might be dead...pun intended.

For dessert I am going to make little witches that will make a neat centerpiece. Here's how you do it: Take 16 large marshmallows, oreo cookies, coconut slivers (for the hair that you dye green with food coloring), Hershey kisses and peanut butter cups (miniature) that will be the top of her hat (place candies on top of oreo chocolate cookie (minus one side of cookie and the frosting).  Use pretzels for her broomstick. These things are so cute I can hardly stand it.

2. Spider cupcakes. Use chocolate EVERYTHING and for the legs use 8 small pieces of licorice dangling from the cupcake and anything small and red for the eys (M&M minis) or red icing.

There are tons of ideas and recipes. The main dish will be Witch's Brew Stew and it looks awesome! If you want the recipe, email me. If not, then drop dead.

Oh, and for the kiddies, I will be playing games like pin the stem on the pumpkin and bobbing for body parts (will probably call this game something else), but you fill up a large tin bucket, stain the water black and put things in inside. Each kid takes turns using their hands to try to find 3 things you tell them to find in this nasty mixture of stuff using their HANDS, not mouth.....

So, get your invitations out, dust off your printers and have fun! I'm doing this mid-month, not on Halloween since I am a Christian and we don't celebrate Halloween.

that you/me, the MT, do not discuss the name and contents of a report with anyone outside the immediate realm of responsibility and only within a professional context. 

If you feel really uncomfortable with doing it and have the option of sending it back for someone else to do, that acceptable but not entirely necessary.

If you *have* to do a report on someone you know, do it, and put it out of your mind.  If you see that person, you cannot discuss anything about it with them, even if they ask.  The onus is upon us to keep.our.mouths.shut.  That is all that confidentiality entails.
