Well I am early morning and evening worker

In Reply to: Day of transcribing - what are your practices?
My body just does better and so I tell myself it is okay. I go strong from 5 to 11, out to deliver, back and then work 1 to 3 at a clinic, back home and then 7 to 9 sometimes later. Before I had the clinic I still took afternoons off as I am not a good producer in the afternoon and so I worked from 6 to 11 and then 6 to 9 or so. But I have my own accounts and can let me body dictate when my productive times are.

Darn, early in the morning, should have been
part of her hair, not head.
I start early in the morning also
I get up and start at 4 a.m., take a break from 6:30-7:30 to get the kids up, ready and off to school, then come back home and work until it's time to go get them at 3:00. Of course, there are those days where I have to do laundry and clean house on some days!
Both my parents took it early but I mean 5 years early - sm
as you are only talking a year I would wait as you will get more money in the long run, versus taking it a year early. Remember it stays at whatever it will be when you take it early the rest of your life. So if it is $500 at 65 but $600 if you wait, I'd wait. My mom started drawing it at 62, she died at 68, so if she had waited she would not have made up the difference; so in her case it paid to take it early, but most of us don't plan on dying shortly after retiring.
Make sure to nap every day so you can still use the evening hours. And don't go in Oct. when the

Christmas starts on the evening of 12/24, not the day after T-giving
I'm Roman Catholic, and we celebrate Christmas until the epiphany. So our decorations are up until then.
I also remember a friend of mine who lived in upstate NY. She said that they had a local tradition where she lived that said they left decorations up until Presidents Day. She was the only person who ever told me that one, so I don't know if that's so.
Exercise for at least 45 minutes in the evening. Will unwind

It is fine for them to stay home alone that evening (sm)
They will have to understand that previous plans have been made. It sounds like they really just don't want to have to do quite so much driving on Christmas day and so to spend the night before makes it easier. Either way, they get to wake up with your family on Christmas morning, which will be a wonderful treat for them. I think they will be fine to just stay home - they have chosen not to go with you - that's their choice. It's really not a big deal.
Primrose Evening Oil....healthfood stores
been there, done that - am finished (thank goodness!!)....I was really at my peak of 'tude (attitude, what you called CRAB *lol*) from 42-45 with pre- perimenopause.....it DOES get better once it is all over (does take about 10 years from the very onset to the finish). But are we really *finished*? I guess we are in menopause the rest of our lives even if we are *done* and the 10 years has passed....*lol* But I swear, it DOES get better

Mowing in the evening hours improves air quality...
My son has asthma. I've learned learned a thing or two about air quality and air pollution.
I don't know if this is why the OP's neighbor is mowing late, but I mow late and yet I get it done before 10 p.m.
Quite frankly, I think some of you all are being a bit sensitive! And just as much as your right to peace and quiet is being infringed upon, you are trying to infringe upon your neighbors rights to do what he wants in his own yard and inside is own house!
One time I was typing on a calm Sunday evening and my son came into the room...
said, "I told you we should buy me a new bike," and I looked up at him and his arm was all bloody and his left flank and hip were all bloody and grungy, I shot off an e-mail to whoever was there on Sunday night and took him to the ER with a broken arm. Bike was also unrepairable. By the way, I offered to buy him a new bike not too many days prior to this incident and he said he didn't need one.
I have been a much happier worker since...
....moving the bird feeders to in front of my office window! I just love watching them all and seeing what else comes out of the woods for some seed and suet. Lots of red squirrels and chippy's, the occasional cute grey mouse, and I guess even deer, but I never see THEM, just the tracks and the "raisinettes" around the feeder. Our neighbor gets tons of wild turkeys at her place, as well as racoons, flying squirrels, and skunks! She goes through about 50 pounds of black oil sunflower seeds as well as 25 pounds of dog chow (for the skunks, racoons, and larger critters) a week! Can you imagine?!
My other neighbor has a wild Merlin falcon (a girl named Helln Fury), who he caught and trained himself. Very cool bird. Can't say I've ever seen one 'round here but I guess they do exist, you just have to know what you're lookin' at when they are up in the air.
Love the wild critters and glad so many others on here appreciate them too!
what kind of worker?
Hi,
Thought the topic to interesting so wanted to reply. I chose my hours 6 p.m. to 2 p.m because my husband works steady 11 p to 7 a. He sleeps in the evening so thought it woud be a good time for me to work. Then when winter started, which is only noticeable by the light) I started 5 p to 1 a. Works out good for me and like it because I always have some work under my belt for the next day. Also, we get to have our days off together on Wed. and Thur. Working well so far. In summer will probably go back to 6 to 2 so I can swim.
Dear co-worker
Stop calling me Fifty million times a day. If I don't answer the phone I am not home, busy doing something, or I just don't want to talk to you. Also, when you call stop calling my name so many times. I know what my name is.
Your co worker Me
Dear Co-worker of DH
I realize that your shift starts at 5 am but I would appreciate it if you would not call the house at that time unless it is a real emergency. The last 4 times you have called with the same problem my dh told you the same answer....I'll fix it when I get in. It is not a problem. Buy a clue and stop interrupting what little sleep I get.
what type of worker
You need either the converter box or a new TV that by law has to have digital in it. I have a new TV and I scan the digital part of my TV. I get maybe one station every few days, so obviously I have the capability otherwise I would not get any digital TV. It is the reception as I live in a rural area. I do have to get a roof top antenna. I was wondering what type of worker does that? When I look in the yellow pages, all it has is satellite and cable, nothing about antenna installers. I was wondering can just a handy man that I would hire install one or do I have to get an electric contractor to do it.
The slain social worker one? nm
.
According the animal control worker..
We have one of the animal control worker's living across the street from us and she asked my son how Lily was doing tonight. He told her that she was coughing and she said that the dogs at Animal control all have kennel cough right now and to bring her out tomorrow for some medicine. I'm still just going to bring her to the vet because of her itching and all the mucous. I think I'll just go over to her house if I have any more questions about Lily.
Lily is probably stressed with all her new changes, but other than throwing up, itching and coughing, she seems to feel right at home. We bought her a big cushion for a bed and when I put the boys to bed at night, she goes to bed in her bed too. Anyhoo...thanks again for the support. I'll update after the vet tomorrow.
Do they by any chance have a social worker you...
could contact? That way, if the social worker stepped in no one in the family would really be so "involved" and it might save hard feelings further down the road but might have the same results.
What woman? What social worker?
We need a little more info to go on if anyone's going to try to help you out on this! You've got me intrigued, though! Lee
I have a co-worker that insists on telling me
I'm killing myself. I told him the Dr. said my grandmother may have lived longer if she had quit. He asked how old she was - I told him 93. Now he shuts up most of the time.
Dear Retail Worker
Do you know the reason I get upset about verifying my driver's license when I give you my credit card is because it is actually against the law to ask to see the license after presenting my card? Check it out!
Dear Retail Worker:
As a customer who used her charge card and had her identity stolen by the employee...BITE ME.
Unless you are a food stamp eligibility worker....

Food stamp eligibility worker, not!
I am not a worker in food stamps but I definitely in the past have known of several people getting food stamps that should not- one being my housekeeper- one being my deceased husband's daughter- both knew the system and "how to work it," cared nothing about having a real job, and just in for the handouts. Get this- my housekeeper had twin sons (grown now)- she got welfare for them, her sister claimed them on income taxes for years - I would call that double dipping. Oh, the daughter got welfare, food stamps, section 8 housing, all the freebies and lived with a guy who worked for the city making good money. You don’t have to be a eligibility worker to have seen this going on. Oh, by the way, when I called internal revenue several times to tell them about things, do you think they wanted to talk with me?? I don’t think so.
Update on social worker from my post the other day (sm)
I posted the other day about where I had seen that social worker before, and couldn't find her on the cast list - wouldn't have helped if I had. I was watching Sally Field on the Boniva commercial and it popped into my head. Social worker was on that Boniva commercial where those 4 women were supposed to be being quiet in a museum. Isn't it funny how the brain works? - haha - especially mine.
Dear retail worker--Thank you for checking...
my ID. So few clerks actually do and I appreciate those who would not let someone use my card should it be lost or stolen.
Just an update on my Social Worker visit.
No one has come by yet, but it's only Monday, but I did get the house cleaned with the help of my son, his girlfriend, and two of his friends. I took the advice below about shuffling all my ex-husband's junk to the garage. He has a fixer upper car in the garage anyway, so I just piled stuff around it, on top of it, and in it. The garage is a complete mess, but we don't live in there, so whatever. My son and his buddies cleaned up outside the house too. We had about 10 bags of trash for the trash truck this morning, but they took every one of them. Thank goodness!!
I'm way more calmer now than I was on Friday when all this crap broke loose. Thanks to everyone for calming me down. I'm ready now for when the social worker stops by. I saw another officer over the weekend at the gas station and he asked me about my situation, asked me if my ex was ever served and then told me that he was proud of me for finally getting rid of him and that he would talk to his boss about this whole "social services thing." He said his boss (who was the officer at my house on Friday) doesn't really know the ins and outs of the community like the officers do and he'd make sure he let him know that my ex is the one causing all the trouble.
So that made me feel better too. I just can't believe how ugly this is getting. I guess I'd better prepare myself because it will probably get worse before it gets better. The divorce is just beginning.
Don't want you to feel bad!! You're our funniest "co-worker" LOL (sm)
How long have you been transcribing? I seem to know a lot of transcriptionists, including myself, who have had these types of symptoms. Doctor told me the same thing once - wonder if it is from lack of movement or constant computer exposure?
Wal-Mart worker dies after shoppers knock him down
just read about it online. people are jerks. I can remember one time being in a line for ice cream at a fair, a very long line, and the person behind me was pushed right up against me. If anything like that ever happens again, i will turn around and says, keep your freakin boobs off me, you weirdie.
It's not the worker's fault. She has to follow the rules or be fired. sm
I've taken a lot of flack from a lot of customers, and the run-of-the-mill retail worker really has no freedom to make decisions. When the worker is caught between a yelling customer and a yelling manager, who do you think she'll listen to?
Sounds like the daycare worker is telling you what you should notice
This is not being a busybody but a change and she is asking if something might be changed in the home. I think she is entirely in her right and should ask questions and you should not be paranoid in thinking she is asking about you. This is a crying child who is acting out of the ordinary and you ought to thank her and find out why the 3 is crying so much.
See, I knew if I posted after the noon news it would be different after the evening news! LOL nm

Too early for me
not an entire hair but head-full of hair.
Get up early
I have a 20 month old and a 4 year old and have been doing this since they were born. I have their toys in the same office and have them confined to a couple of rooms of the house. I get up early and get a good part of my day in before they even wake up. Then, I take a break for lunch (breakfast, get dressed, etc.). Then I finish up the rest while they play or watch cartoons. It really works out pretty well, although at times it is trying. I just try to remind myself it is better for them to be home with me.
It was in the early 90's
And that hospital was known for its psych ward, and just happened to be the closest one to where I worked. I don't recall what tests they did (but they didn't want to do many on an ER basis, I remember that, so they were pushing me to become an inpatient). Mostly they just sat and asked me questions, decided it wasn't life-threatening (and possibly not even "real'). Maybe I sounded crazy because I was scared enough by it to go there in the first place. As they took it so lightly, and I realized I could function with it (though it was distracting), I decided to just let it be. I was embarrassed because nobody I knew had ever had something like that, and it did sound "crazy" when I started telling people it felt like there were worms or bugs crawling beneath the skin of my scalp and face...and now the ER thought I needed the psych ward....so I decided to quit talking about it. Which turned out the be the thing to do, in my case.
Early as possible
Consequences of choices should be taught as soon as they can hear. This is an important concept in so many ways. It is basic and teenagers grown-ups who have not learned it in childhood don't usually commit suicide over an insult even though they may have major problems with "shaking it off." I believe, again, that there was more than meets the eye in this case. If you never learned in childhood you should make it your priority to learn it now and share it with everyone you know. This was not a "gesture" of suicide, which is often a reaching out for help and/or attention. The method chosen was lethal.
Thank you - can you tell me what the early (sm)
signs or symptoms were? I do let my son pretty much wear what he wants and have his hair how he wants. I have been asking him to get it out of his eyes and I don't want to let him wear old shirts with stains but I'm very lenient with him. When the clothes are in the laundry though, there is not much I can do. I guess I could put him in charge of making sure they are clean? As far as early symptoms, was it anything like this? My son would get very upset if I moved any pictures on the walls or rearranged any furniture and he had a fit if I got my hair cut enough that he could tell a difference, this was up until he was about 5 or so. But he is a very good child, never really gets in trouble, has friends though he is very selective about them so has just a handful.
No, she's in her early 30s.
I love Grey's, too - Thursday nights, my work has to wait until it's over - completely addicted!
Through the rumor mill, I also heard that Patrick Dempsey was going to leave the show because he wanted more time with his family and to further his movie career. If that happens, I'm not sure I'll still be into it as much, but Eric Dane would still be a pretty big pull.

We usually go end June or early
July, but this year we waited until the first week of August and was already better on crowds!
Early August in AL
August 7 in the Prattville AL area.
Absolutely no way. I am in my early 30s and......
have a secret crush on my dentist who is in his 60s. Younger guys are too immature and don't know a thing...
Yes I am sure, retire early and take your - sm
benefits at a reduced rate. This is from the yearly SS Statement I get in the mail. Also in teh "Before you decide to retire" section; "If you choose to receive benefits before you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be permantely reduced. However you will receive benefits fora longer period of time." (in theory of course). This is from my statement dated August 20, 2007; I kind of doubt it has changed. I remember when my parents decided to take it early; they did not really need the money but figured what the hey, and in my mom's case it worked to their benefit. You need to do the math and figure out the year to income ratio of the difference, etc. In my case, if I take it at 62 I would get $640 a month, wow; but if I wait until I am 67 I get $914-- $274 is not a huge difference but it is to many; and a fair amount to me even now. If I wait until I am 70, I get $1134 -- $220 more a month; now I doubt I'd hold out for that, but I guess it will just depend on my health and financial situation at that time. In order to make that money/break even on my benefits I'd pass on until I was 70; I would have to live until at least 82 to have made the 32K I would have gotten had I taken the $914 at age 67. ---So in my case I sure I will take it at my specified age of 67. I like working and keeping busy. Everything will be paid for then, so I am sure I will be able to live on earnings from a PT job until I decide to collect SS. But I have a ways to go as I am only 42!
No wonder I got my period early!!
:)
My doc says it's early hearing loss. sm
I went in 2 weeks ago for my check up and complained about the ringing in my right ear. He said it's early hearing loss and if it bothers me to see the ENT and get a hearing test done. LOL-like I have time for that right now.
Central PA ~ It's been snowing since early a.m.
Could get up to a foot at least from what I heard. So don't like hearing that!
I am talking very early 60s and only available for married
then, was told that by a physician who said could not prescribe UNLESS married, in fact the year was 1962. I have no idea when Planned Parenthood started but as a young girl had no knowledge about that. Things have changed for females so much over the years.
Have guy cousins in early 20s and my nephew
is 17. They shop a lot at Macy's. We're in the NY area. Apparently certain brand names are "in" like Ecko, Sean John, Polo, etc. but can be very expensive. As far as hairstyles, maybe check out the hairdos on some of the clothing/store websites. Here's one from Macy's. If I lived near you; I'd help with the makeover :) Sounds like fun. lol
