The only way to be truly miserable is to think that the situation you are in is permanent....and it is not.
Thinking that bad people get away with the things they do is short-sighted. You will live long enough to see each and every one of them fall on their face.

misery and company
I'm not glad that you all suffer too, but a little relieved. Mine is a little like an electrical hum - white noise came to mind for me also. I wonder if computer error tones started mine as it happened right after I had a series of bad dictations where I turned the volume up really high and then when I hit something wrong I got a very loud tone - someone has since told me how to change it to a more tolerable sound.
Sounds like low pay and misery to me sm
but I have always been able to make at least $25 an hour doing transcription. I could not stand the atmosphere at an elementary school, but would have appreciated the holidays, etc, when my kids were younger. I guess it is a toss up. Either you are a great MT and can do good lines, or you get another job, and compromise on the pay.
All I can say is...me too!!! At least you have company in your misery!! (nm)

Misery Loves Company
Who has rubbed your nose in it that is now effected by the economic crisis?
For me...
Investment broker - not much call for stocks these days
Mortgage broker - self-explanatory
Realtor - again.....
All of these people were filthy rich and looked down on me, the lowly transcriptionist, who worked at home, who "really did not work", and look at them now.
I am the richest woman I know...which is not saying much.
join me --- misery loves company
 Truthfully, though, no one can quit until it's their time. I just had to finally get really disgusted with myself. I owe this to my child. My best friend just died at age 54 two weeks ago from lung cancer. My father died at age 58 of the same. My sister is currently in the hospital with pulmonary emboli (even though she has never smoked). And lastly, rumor has it the price is going up to $8 a pack in my state. By just not smoking for the last five days, I already have an extra $50 in my wallet. Wow. I am the smartest woman and I know, and yet how can I continue to be so stupid? That's where I'm at mentally. I really want to succeed this time. Now, where are those carrot sticks?
