Feast or famine
Seems to me as long as I have worked in home based transcription it is either feast or famine.  I work extra when the work is there and enjoy the downtime when it comes.
feast or famine
Well the problem is that when there is too much work, we are expected to jump in and work extra. I have a young child at home, and I can't just work for 2 or 3 companies, make the minimum requirments at each and sometimes pick up the slack. That is why I sit here with my one company trying to make it.
Feast or Famine is the name of the game at FN
As the previous poster said, the workflow for the last few months has been horrible. My pay has been severely cut due to the overhiring they have done.

If you don't mind starving for a while (LOL), it's an okay company to deal with, with the exception of their QA department, which I believe are some of the rudest I've ever come across.

Pay seems pretty good if you don't mind not having bennies or direct deposit.

Overall, I would give them a "C".
You would have never thought famine if
you had been at the Longhorn Restaurant (steak) where I was last night, had a wait in fact. Hubby commented on all the people there, he even said I thought this was supposedly hard times for people.
Have a feast
Well, I gotta tell ya, I wish you would not bring your god into this.  There are religions where the people do not eat meat.  So, can we keep god out of the eating meat situation.  You eat all you want, have a feast.  I will not contribute to killing of any living thing.
She is 9 yrs old. Have tried the fancy feast, etc.
She does not seem to be urinating/stooling, however does want to go out periodically so maybe she does.  However she has been in the house for the last 24 hours and has done neither as far as I can tell.  Will contact another vet.  Thanks you for concern
Still Life With Woodpecker, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, A Moveable Feast
The list goes on....I am a big reader.  I also like some true crime stuff by Ann Rule.
haha
This is a joke, right?  You endangered your 16--year-old by moving her in with a man, a crazy man at that?  Are you serious?  You obviously need some mental help for child endangerment. 
Haha!

Haha!
Sorry, missed the last part of your post. Just cut her off and stop sending work. When she asks, tell her you didn't think she was interested anymore.
Right?! haha...
Maybe she should just go test if she thinks it is so easy. I bet she would get a rude awakening then.
Haha...well said!
This is only the beginning, not only for MTs...for professionals everywhere.

The other poster had a point though about our elected officials lining their pockets with the money that is being made. Go vote too! Vote for candidates who want jobs to come back to the US and not just ones who say they do, but ones who actually show it. A petition will only go so far. If you want to see change, you have to look even higher.

As far as choosing a different doctor, it is possible even with a limited plan and should be done by all of us.

Good job though...glad someone finally did it. :O)
man, where did the "was" come from haha - sorry! (NM)

Haha...I read it once and understood exactly
what she said. She didn't get the face lift.
Hey thanks.. I never did do well in Math in school haha

Haha! My cat watches me, and I think she can read.....
she already knows how to turn on the printer & the fax machine, so who's to say she's not logging on when I'm asleep and sending sensitive information God-knows-where?
haha...Sounds like something my husband would do...
although he is afraid if he gets it done it won't work at all...
Haha - if that's a 'medical exam', we might as well - SM

Not biting ... it's been discussed in heated detail on about pg 3 of this board. haha
..
HAHA! Yes! I have those daily! But it's not really work as I work nights, it's little things l
turning on the pool filter in the morning and then in the afternoon running out there because I thought I forgot to turn it on. Or preheating the oven and then 5 minutes later saying "shoot! I forgot to preheat the oven!" It's really bad. And I'm only 31. I'm not 90!

I don't know if dementia or Alzheimer's runs in my family, but this could be a sign of something to come. Or as my husband says - you jut don't pay attention to much. He's probably right!
