I think they are interchangeable, meaning if you save a document in Word Perfect, you can open it up in Word (on the newer versions anyway).  I used to prefer Word Perfect over Word, but now I like Word better.  But, yes, they are very similar.

that was okay. I spent more time with my 2 babies. I held my 9 1/2 month old in my arms while he struggled to stay awake and finally gave in to his sleepiness. As I type this, I am listening to my "almost 2-year-old" laying on the living room floor "watching" TV talking to herself, curled up with her blanket, and almost sleeping. It makes me smile. Just about 15 minutes ago, I snuck outside and gave my horse a carrot and she nickered a nice hello. THAT is why I'm home.

I work for Transcend. Have been for about a 1-1/2 months. I have learned a lot and I hope to learn more. I checked my Ps and Qs before I left my in-house, cushy, very solid clinic position to work at home. I checked the money situation. (I was also lucky enough to land an IC job with a local clinic that pays .12cpl, but only comes out to $100 a week as they don't have much work for me.) I hemmed and hawed over it for 7 months before I made my decision to stay home. I will admit it, it is a little frustrating not to have work, but, there will be work later. I may never have benefits through them, I may have to marry my (not so darling...ha ha) boyfriend (the father of the two kids) in order to get health insurance....but I'll deal with it. I LOVE being at home. (BF is jealous and wants to be home to, my Dad, who is soon to be retiring, is jealous as well. Course, they're MEN and wouldn't be able to work and watch the kids, but I'll let them be jealous!)

When I first started with transcription over 7 years ago, I never even thought of working at home, never really crossed my mind. I feel very lucky to be in a career that allows me to do both, be at home and still have a career. I'm not afraid of hard work or minor setbacks. I've put up a 1/4 mile of horse fence in 90+ degree weather, this is easy. Sure, it may come with some "bull****, and slow times, and frustrating times, but then I have a morning like I did today...(see above)...and I sigh...and smile. To each his/her own. If ya don't like the stew, get out of the pot.

I had been trying to get it together to work for them for several weeks, months really.  Lots of emails back and forth.  They really wanted me, but I couldn't work it out for a long time.  Finally we set a date to get set up --- no contact all day from them.  The next day, she contacted me and we set up a definite time for yet the next afternoon --- but, again, I heard nothing from her that day.  I decided at that time that we had dragged each other along for long enough and I would just email her and tell her no thanks after all, which I did.  I really don't know if she is that busy or what, but an email would have been nicue (or getting some else in the office to call) when she wasn't going to come through for set-up.  I just ended up being afraid they would not be dependable for me. 

The lady you are emailing with is probably the owner, and I had talked to her on the phone several times - very nice.  I also read on a post here that she had built the company all herself and that it was a good place to work.  I just decided against it. 

I wouldn't say she was mean, just brusque and kind of haughty when offering pay that was completely junk!!

Had a bad experience with another company's recruiter also.  Never followed up with me over and over......then would make excuses on why she didn't get back to me, always sounded kind of hung-over.

Are these the best PR people they can come up with?

I think you made a great choice by asking and receiving more work, and I really hope that helps you.  I had tried to stay loyal to my company for years, but with so many changes and pay cuts I finally had enough, and decided it was time to go look for some different poo to tolerate, because every job has it, just depends on you about how much and what you want to put up with.  I looked through the archives here, looked on the company board, and then just started jumping on to different company sites and testing.  I received several offers after testing, which btw is not nearly as hard as I had feared after being in the same job for several years.  I found and accepted a better job that pays more, and I actually feel appreciated again.  I do know there are a lot of companies looking for 2nd and 3rd shift, and I did compromise on my hours and days, I am going from a M-F to a S-T shift, that should tell you something.  

Sometimes it just takes a little help from others to boost your confidence.  Some people sugar coat, some people vinegar coat, it all boils down to the same thing though.  See how the new account and work goes, and if you find you are still not happy, just start looking somewhere else.  Sometimes it just takes a different picture to make you happy.  Just don't be afraid to try.  You don't have to quit your current job to do it, use your slow time to train for the new job if that is the route you want to go. 

Even the mean people are feeling the crunch of this time of year, no matter how much they want you to believe they are not affected, that is bologna.  It is very well known it slows down this time of year.  Maybe that is why they are so mean.  Us nice sunshiny people probably do make them ill with all of our life is wonderful, LA te da, look on the bright side attitudes.  That is again a choice, you can either find something to be happy about or you can find something to be hateful about.  It is not right or wrong, it is people. 

So everybody quit bashing, and hope you all have a very Merry Christmas or whatever is your special holiday! 

when the company she worked for was trying to get rid of the "older" workers.  They cut the fulltime people back to 28-32 hours, which meant they lost insurance and other benefits.  My Mom filed for unemployment for the lost wages, and she was reinstated in her position a week later.

My husband took hours and pay cuts at a job he had but never filed.  It didn't much matter as the company bankrupted and was bought out by a big national company.
