Morning baby, morning adult. Kids born at 11:30AM (both) are night owls, however. Go figure! :) nm

hit some yard sales early in the morning

Oh, I'm with you. I read this early this morning and i am heartbroken!! sm
I can totally see past what she's done in the past. I havve 3 sons, one much older, and cannot even fathom this happening. I wonder if the stress of the new baby had anything to do with it. This is so tragic. I am so sad.
geeze...you can tell I am up too early this morning...sorry for the typos

I work early morning shift and I get the garbage

leftover from the day before.  I will often get 6 reports from a very difficult ESL dictator and they may be over an 8 hour period of dictation.   When there is such a gap in the dictation you know you are being assigned these reports, not just luck of the draw.   All work is assigned by the office.   I have seen my line count drop about 4000 lines/pay period the last couple of months because I'm getting such bad dictators.  I don't mind doing my fair share, but it certainly isn't fair that my line count is being affected like it is. 


I have complained to my supervisor and it got better for a couple of months and now it is the same crap all over again and I'm looking to move on.  


 


Never, not gonna happen, I'm the early morning person
who always gets up for nothing when there's no work.
Split - first in the morning before kids get up and then the rest during baby's naps.
It helps that I can do an entire day's work in 3-4 hours.
Mind is willing to work but legs and back aren't cooperating.
Any cures for MT body aches?
Outsourcing topic on Good Morning America this morning....

Ok, maybe I should just stay in bed LOL How about "every morning" not everyone morning. Wow. C

How bout....
Taking one Sunday (or a day you are not working) and make a bunch of casseroles, crockpot foods, etc. and freezing them? Pull out of fridge, thaw, cook, eat! AND HEALTHIER
Sorry bout that!
Then Welcome!
Sorry bout that

Sorry... I have two forums open at once.


LOL that would be somE..sorry bout that!!

how bout now
So, granted, you guys didn't take the hit that the editors did, but do you believe it now or do you think it is still a hoax?  We were just trying to give y'all the heads up that we didn't get and got trashed for it.  We're all too good for that place.
dis aint bout me
I was consistently getting 1200 lpd after transcribing for 6 months on a very difficult VA account. I think MQ'ers just like to whine. Take whining out of your vocabulary and make so $$$.
I went through a bout of this years ago. sm
Try not to crook your arms too much while transcribing. If you can possibly pull your chair out farther, that ought to help. If you have arms on your typing chair, try removing them and don't rest your arms on tables, etc. Driving will aggravate this condition, too, as arms are crooked too much. Good luck.
Mine did get better with the adjustments I suggested above.
How bout meatballs???

I have made meatballs in the crock pot and it couldn't be easier.  Use your favorite homemade meatball recipe, brown them in a frying pan, and place them in your crockpot with a couple jads or so of your favorite sauce (depending on how big your crockpot is).  In about 2 or 3 hours your meatballs are done and the sauce tastes totally homemade!!!  No need to stir the meatballs so they never break apart.  Good luck on whatever you decide to make!!! 


Ok, how bout this? She came here turn off the

Let the next MT refuse him also. Be open bout
I dont consider this cherrypicking.  Just straight up refusing to do a doctor who has no regard for me or his pts if he is going to dictate in a manner that is indecipherable.  Again, I am in this for the money just like MTSO.  I am not here to work for mere pennies an hour.  There are plenty of jobs out there.  The MTSO can get rid of me over 1 crappy doctor or keep me, knowing I know the platform, etc.  If MTSO would rather have 1 crappy doctor or a darn good MT, whatever.  Again, it is hard to find a good MT, crappy dictators are a dime a dozen.  Let the next MT refuse him or not. It is here decision.  Mine is to ask to be taken off so I can make money just like the MTSO.
OK, then how bout sharing some of the wonderful co's you have found....sm
How bout sharing the co's you are finding that offer experienced MTs, more than .09/65 char.... cause that' sall I'm finding. And on top of that will be ESL crap... And that is not what I've been used to!!  Discouraged, disappointed, and upset!!
Puleeze, the media is too worried bout being

Do little kids like caramel? My big kids won't even eat it! We make the basic Baker's chocolat

I never said you shouldn't have kids! Feeling guilty? I asked WHY you had kids.
You clearly stated in your post that you ship the kids off to camp all day, and they're TIRED AT NIGHT!!  You know exactly what you said.  You said it as a PERK - AS IN GREAT! They're gone all day, it wears them out, and so I shovel dinner in their mouths and off to bed!  You can try to paint it any way you want, but YOU SAID IT.  Again, I only hope your kids never hear you speak that way or write that way. Shame on you.  Why have kids at all?  Just another parent who has them, gets rid of them for day AND night, BRAGS ABOUT IT, and then calls ME wicked!  Give me a break!  Camp is fine - its WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU KNOW IT.  Your own words showed your heart. Period.
Kids are demanding and so is MT work. My question is how CAN you do this with kids, rather than how
When you have two young kids, 11 months apart, (like I stated they are now 4 and 5) and have been doing this since they were born with no help from their father and no family around, YES, the kids get neglected. Part time might work but living on one salary, part time, is not an option. How can you possible tell me that anyone with two young kids can stay at home and work a full-time, 8-hour shift, and still give their kids the attention they NEED. I dont care how good you are at multitasking and how great your organizational skills are. It is a very difficult thing to do. And I am offended by your post making it sound as if it is easy to do.

I do agree that it can depend on how well your kids behave and how well they are able to play on their own. But my kids were not able to play well on their own. They needed constant attention.

So please take the time to realize that there are people out there in different situations than your own.

Reading our posts should help you to understand that everyone has a different situation. I believe everyone should have the right to shares their experiences as it might benefit the original poster in her questions and concerns.

I dont think anyone should be bashed for taking the time out to write about their experiences. I dont usually come on here to argue but you really ticked me off with your post. And try reading the post correctly. I said next time around I would have put them in day care. What I DID do with them was set them up to an activity like art or put on a movie for them. Geez.
Stayed "because of the kids?" I say "leave because of the kids"
You're in no position to buy right now. Keep saving, keep paying down your bills, and for heaven's sake get rid of that dead weight of a BF you're living with. You can do better.
So, should I return the $75 (x2 kids) in music cards I got the kids for x-mas...sm
My son has been telling me about free music sites and I was very leary.  How do they skirt the law Radguy?
I don't have kids, but my Mom was from the "old school," and still had everyone, kids inclu

call her by her first name.  The little neighbor girl next door from the time she could speak called her Aggie (my mom's first name), and they were great buddies until the day my mom pased away. 


I don't think there really is much in a name, but more in the respect you are given and the way you are treated.   Personally, I kind of cringe inside when someone calls me Ms. Anything or God forbid, "maam" (makes me feel like Methuselah!) ... I'm always just plain Merrie.  :-)


But, as someone pointed out, to each his own.  If you want to be addressed a certain way, you have that right, and people should respect that.  I'm glad you corrected the child ... hope it "sticks."    


Please do not simply give up, kids or no kids!
Talk with a professional. This can be worked through if he really puts forth the effort and you participate. The right counseling can truly make your marriage even better than it was before, if BOTH parties are willing to be honest. Give it a try. Nothing to lose at this point and everything to gain!
Everyone said that about DOS in the early 80s

I think it is early too..sm
Lots to do after wedding, honeymoon, getting settled, enjoying new life, etc.  Big job to write all those thank you notes.  I still remember after 40 years struggling to get that done!!!!  I bet you'll be getting one.  If these people are friends, they're probably like you and raised their daughter to be appreciative. Give it more time.  
You were right to get out early
I was very patient with a one of those type clients and had to threaten to take them to court to get the money they owed me.
anyone not any one....sorry -- still early :)

I know it's too early but..

I have hundreds of hotties,beauties and smarties to wish, so I thought to finish off uncles and aunties first.


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!


sorry, too early
Sorry for the extra "where...." Too early in the morning.
Worked in early 90s for 15 cpl
I work in a clinic and am salaried. I decided to pick up some extra work at home and try out one of these companies. Offered 9 cpl...In early 90s, I worked at home for 15 cpl for the local hospital. Who are these companies kidding?  What's up with that? I think I'll call the hospital back. But I've heard they are outsourcing now, so they may not pay that anymore either. I believe all these companies out there have been the cause of the drop in OUR pay. Whatcha think?
I have those same symptoms, but I'm in my early 30s.

Have you had a tubal or come off BC pills?  I was doing some research the other day and came up with hormonal imbalance, but not estrogen like they think.  One of the posters on the Ask the Dr. board recommend progesterone cream for the sore hoohas.  Read down the board and you'll see the posts.  She said the doctors are mistreating it with BC pills, which only makes it worse..  I'm making an appt w/my doctor and asking for an endocrine evaluation to see how out of whack everything is.  FWIW, my former doctor put me on BC pills with Prozac for my PMS.  The physical symptoms got worse, while the Prozac made me sleep 12 hours a day, have really wild dreams, and lose all motivation to clean the house or work.  I do not like that stuff.


There are there boys here, and believe me, males have their hormonal mood swings, too.


yeah, Aug 1st...seems early to us, too sm
we are working towards year round school.  They will have a week off a month this school term. I don't like it, but I wasn't asked!
I work really early and I already got
my lines done for the day.

Ran out of work very early on.
Another great pay day!  Waiting for hours now...
Born in the early AM and that is when I
function best.
thanks for the early a.m. laugh...NM

I have been QA for TH since early last year.
Go to the company board. I personally think TH QA is very good. They pay hourly and they are very fair to their QA staff, which is more than I can say for most of the services out there. Don't listen to the other poster. Check them out. Trust me, they are worth it IF you qualify.
.12 not .23 - oh brother, too early!
Tired fingers, meant to say even if you have to go from .12 to .11 do it (for now).
Oops, too early
