I wasn't putting you down, I was just wondering if it was 16000 lines per week or two weeks. At 16000 per week for 5 days is 3000 lines per day which if part time at 5 hours is 600 lines an hour which to me is a whiz. Just complementing you. And to the one above, been doing this for 15 years now and have yet to have carpal tunnel or any problems. Had more wrist problems when working as a secretary answering 12 phone lines.
Even my docs are amazed that I don't have wrist problems.

    Whiz/lines

    I just read your message below and if you are doing 16,000 lines in two weeks we do about the same with my 4 accounts as I average 32,000 to 34,000 lines and work those accountd about 20 to 22 hours per week  (with delivery, printing, etc.).  Then I work in the clinic for about 20 hours at an hourly rate. I could make more by picking up another account but I do enjoy getting out of the house since I am alone now and the docs out there think "I walk on water" so that helps the old ego.  I know I am lucky with my accounts and thank the Lord everyday that I am able to do this and make the money that I do and just want others to know that it is possible to make a good living but you gotta work at it and make your programs and computer work for you.     Thanks for you honesty also.   Others may not believe you but I do and it is possible to make 50 to 60K a year.

    What does she want, a computer whiz
    Or someone who has a lot of experience in MT? I guess I am one of those old-timey MTs who hates computers, but it is very funny-- all the computer whizzes at the hospital used to ask me the medical terms if they were stumped. All their vast computer knowledge could not help them do MT.
    It was just a joke, gee whiz. nm
