We as MTs will never be recognized for the hard work we do and the conditions we do it under.

The conditions we do it under? I'm sitting here in my sweats and slippers, intermittently doing the laundry, eating a banana in the comfort of my own home office. I don't think many of us at home are suffering!

I know that may not be what you meant, but it made me smile.

That made me laugh (with you not at you or her) . . . Like anything else, the directions are there for a reason . . I had to get more self-discipline and realize that . . So far so good for me, but a week not enough time yet to give it total thumbs up, but am impressed by what I have seen in other people, so that's enough reason to keep me motivated . . I'm definitely entering the business side of it also, time to start weaning away from transcription after 30+ years, getting burnt out . . Email me,anyone, if you want more info.

I have to chuckle, you sound just sm
like that commercial with the guy having it all with his country club, pool, etc, and says just the same exact thing you did. I'm not laughing at you, believe me, I am laughing with you. I do feel for you. Been there done that more than once, in debt up to my eyeballs. Yes, I do think at times the schools tend to pump you up with $$$ signs and it really isn't fair to the student to be given amounts that high. I only make around that myself, probably less, working for a national. Lucky for me, I have a husband who does very well. Not everyone has that advantage. Could you possibly pick up a local account to work on the side to help with your finances? It could lead to something better. Just a thought. Take care and good luck.

Thanks for the chuckle. That was good.

makes me chuckle...
When I get my pay summary with the actual stamp. Just one in a long line of things coming from what appears to be a very disorganized company.

Another good chuckle.
Something sure does have her drawers in an uproar. Signing on with TTD and taking a 75% pay cut sounds like as good a reason as any.

Thanks for the chuckle. First time
I've posted on this forum and thought I had put my 2 cents in the wrong place.

For crying in the corn. I had to chuckle at that.
Thank you for making me smile.

Never heard of it, but the name gave me a chuckle!

Sharing a chuckle from my granddaughter
She's 7 years old, in Texas. I talked to her last night and told her that I was quitting working. She asked me if I got another job. I said no, that I was going to be retard unless I missed working too much after all these years and she said, Meme, which would you rather do, work or get free money like Pawpaw? Free money. LOL She was talking about Pawpaw when she went to the P. O. with him and picked up his retirement check. He took it to the bank and she asked him how come he got a check when he doesn't work. He told her he was retired and that was the money he got from his retirement. Free money!

lol, lol, gave me a chuckle, too funny!....nm
