He grew out of it, thankfully

Otherwise I was going to kill him. He got his paws and teeth on several headsets, at least 2 ipod cords, the cord for my alarm clock which docks my ipod, one foot pedal, one cable modem cord, and I'm sure there's a couple I'm missing. Nothing I tried worked with this cat. Nothing. I was gone for about 3 weeks when my mom was dying and I was staying with her. I was home for a couple of hours each day to check on the cats, but that was it. When I got back home for good, finding all of the things he had done in my absence was really horrifying.
I have three kittens now who are about a year old, and a year younger than Lucky the Destructo Cat, and the three of them together haven't done the amount of damage that Lucky did.

thankfully to GOD, I do
I just think they are rude and unprofessional. They made me do all the paperwork.... I have never seen such BS in my life.
Tell me about it! My chip grew into a block and the
disappearing. I don't know how some folks make it at all, medical bills, kids, and our ever-present little buddy NJA.
I almost worked for them, but thankfully
the recruiter misinformed me on some issues, I decided not to take the job. Then, I poste on this board regarding what the recruiter told me and I received an email from the top dog, will not mention her name because she is always on this board.The top dog sent me an email under the disguise of wanting to talk to me about my decision. When I set up a meeting, she started telling me I was wrong and blah,blah,blah. Do not work for this low-class company. YOu will go broke and watch what the recruiter named Brent tells you too.
Thankfully or maybe not, I have too much work
This week alone I had 170 patients to transcribe reports on. I work locally for a small office so there's always work.
Well, I grew up poor and had a really bad marriage and decided (sm)
I was not going to count on anyone else ever. It is hard at times, and mostly all I do is work, but my work is social for me in a way. I MT 3 nights a week for the national, the other nights I do my own accounts, teach in the early mornings and late afternoons, go out on sales calls and do customer service in the afternoon. Take calls all day long on my cell from everybody... that and email are actually the most timeconsuming and most difficult to control. I have windows of time to check voicemails and emails and I really try to stay in that timeframe. If I miss a call I get in the next window. I text my answers back a lot to save on chatting! Uh, the phone tag game is my biggest problem, actually.
Uh, I didn't mention because it sounds like too much even to me, but actually I am also a personal trainer... I train women for bodybuilding and fitness contests. At times (right now) that can be the most time consuming depending on the athlete. A carb-depleted woman training 2 hours a day needs a lot of special care! I don't always train on site with them, though, I set them up via email or phone and give assignments for the week on their training and diet, andI have workshops on the weekends, or everybody meets at the track for sprint work. I also am not a clipboard trainer, I am there with them so I get my workouts in. I also am in training myself.
A lot of my work is seasonal... Sales for the clothing line are a little slow in the summer so I pick up extra work for the national if I need it. And my national is always a little slow between Christmas and New Years, and both of my offices actually shut down at that time, WHEW!
This seems really out there and all over the place, doesn't it? I have a degrees in English and physical education... my plan was to teach English and PE... but the money here for teachers is terrible and things just worked out this way. I love all of my jobs... I am pretty active during the day but at night I love to sit down and zone out on my work. I am divorced with no kids, with a great boyfriend who also has his own business so often we work side by side at night. I have a huge dog that sits in the back of my 4 runner when I make all my service calls and he is out at the gym and the track with me for training. At night he is curled up besides me.
How do I do it? Sometimes I don't know. But I try to take it one day at a time, try to work as hard as a can and be as decent as I can and I never ever get pinched up (at least I don't show it!) I try to find humor in everything because sometimes that is the only way to stay sane.
I treat everyone with respect and kindess and like they are very important to me. Most people I deal with do not know I have other jobs. When they are in front of me it is all about them and what we are working on together. I have to turn work away all the time. I have never had to advertise for any of my businesses.
My friends think I am a freak... but I am 40 years old and have no lines on my face, no gray hair (well there could be some but I am a regular highlighter!) and a body of an Olympic sprinter. I cannot say it is easy... but like the quote goes I guess if it were easy everybody would be doing it. 
If true, it's thankfully someone else's headache now. n/m

My mom was a lab tech, so I grew up knowing about working holidays in the medical field sm
so it is no big deal to me. I do not have any children, so I have pretty much always volunteered to work the holidays so that others can be with their families. As someone pointed out, when you work at home for the holiday, you can jump off and on whenever you want, so it does not really feel so much like working. 
Sorry that you are unhappy about it, but unfortunately, people still get sick on the holidays, and part of being in the medical profession is accepting that you will work some holidays.
Hope the New Year brings you lots of things to be happy about.
