i don't deal with anyone without references when it comes to work. i learned my lesson and have moved on. i leave you to fight the battles of the downtrodden.

Do you ever feel as though this job takes over your life and you have to work all the time in case
 there wont be work and you just keeping working and you cant get away from it and it gets to be no fun anymore. I am having a problem with that. Is it from working at home or just getting obsessed or what. I hate this. I feel like I am losing my life to it.
I agree - doesn't sound like it's worth your time to fight her anymore. NM

So, just simply summing it up. You have 2 kids, and they fight while you work, so you just
send them to daycare, and now they're "socialized". This thinking just is soooooooo beyond me! And you can all scream and call me negative, but its just a travesty. Daycare - daycare - the replacement mom of our society, and its NOT working. Kids these days are a mess - an absolute mess. I have no words to waste on this topic - its sickening. And for all the millions and millions of mothers who have NO choice but to leave the home and throw the kids in day care - sitting in an office with a heavy heart. Here you all can have the blessing of having your precious kids with you, but the slightest challenge - fighting? PLEASE! What kids don't fight? So, instead of training them yourself and teaching them to "socialize" with their own siblings, let alone their mother, you ship them off to daycare - Oh, yeah, there's the logical solution! Its just soooooooooooooo old, actually. Millions of Moms - even the big $$ CEOs, are realizing the fallacy of day care, and working from home to RAISE their own kids. Sure, its challenging, but the rewards are priceless, so cliche! Such an easy cop out to ship 'em off to daycare - let them "socialize" them...So what do your kids learn? Certainly not to behave at home. They're probably still acting out at home, while angels at daycare!
I can relate.....I took on extra work and now my DH just picked a fight with me, and is also winding
the kids up massively as I type this. Totally off your subject but he just dropped on me that he is cutting all contact off from my dad since he recently remarried and intimated that he was leaving me and my brothers nothing in his will......DH also said the kids were not allowed to have any contact with him either. I can get around that and just leave with the kids when he is at work if I have to resort to that. But this is bullsh*t.....I fear if it keeps up I am headed for divorce court. He is getting weirder and weirder about money, though he professes not to care or want it. Then he dropped that when his dad (75) dies his mom (70) was moving in with us.......WHAT! So right now I am hoping that his mom goes first as he will never live with his dad, or that his dad lives another 15 years at least....We had promised my mom she could live with us, but now that she is dead, he says it will be his mother as he has to protect his interests (and the kids....as supposedely all his parent's money is to go to them.....he plans not to touch it). So needless to say I am LIVID, don't want to work right now, am not talking to him though he keeps coming in and ranting more....he has calmed down some but still driving me nuts. He has to stop drinking, that is what it comes down to....much more rational then. But I really think the writing is on the wall and it's scary as I have no where to go now.    
Today is different and you cannot fight companies who LEGALLY can offshore work.
So all Americans refuse to buy goods, shop at stores, or work for companies who offshore. That leaves a mess. Do you realize a lot of American companies are actually owned by foreigners? Get real and move into 2005. You are going to spend a lot of time boycotting once you do the research. I doubt you will be able to shop or work at all.
What do you do when a company cheats you?
The company I've been working for cheated me out of about $100 this week. What can be done? Can someone tell me what they have done if they had this happen to them?
Not me, I have a life with no time for such stuff. nm
If you have the time to get down and dirty with some low-life bad debt,
As for me, I live and learn. Ever hear the phrase cut your losses. The more time you spend chasing down a bad debt the more loss you incur.
5 yrs is a long time for monitor life......n/m
a *sort of fight*? It WAS a fight and this was.
I saw the show with Sarah Bernhardt and she was a *guest* and was treated so poorly by Star and Elisabeth that day. Star and Elisabeth didn't like Sarah's politics or view and attacked Sarah....Star by saying *I'm looking too cute today to be bothered by the likes of you* or words to that very effect....and then the Honey line by Elisabeth......
Is this the way people treat GUESTS? I think not. The show reached it's lowest point on that day, in my opinion.
I think the show will not survive..........whether or not Rosie or anyone else steps in. It's time to retire the show. It's beyond *leaving gracefully* now. And though I hate to say it, Barbara Walter's credibility is now pretty much shot to heck......because of this show.
I would be 43 and have no life at this time and wish I was making decent money, but not ;0( ...NM

Time to switch careers. I did and life is much less stressful.

Not upset - everyone makes bad choices in their life at some time or another. sm
No one is perfect. Hopefully, someone will give you a chance and your money and time won't be wasted.
Good luck to you!
Your daughter will be better prepared for life by having a part-time job now. sm
Meanwhile, her BF will end up feeling entitled to everything she wants because she's being spoiled now. Hopefully your daughter will continue to work because she enjoys it...the money, the responsibility, the feeling of being a little grown up. Maybe it'll rub off on her BF. If not... well, rest easy knowing your kid is doing all right.
Maybe it's time to fight fire with fire.
I find cherrypicking an absolutely deplorable practice. That being said, perhaps it's time we set aside our integrity (believe me, I know how hard it will be to do) and send back reports also. We are penalized for our experience and dedication. You can be sure a cherrypicker's paycheck looks a lot better than ours. I think it's time we whine and cry about bad dictators and send a HUGE message to corporate by refusing to do them.
get a life, this is extensively documented. Pick up a book some time, ignorance
Then you would have no life at all except work, work, work if you did that. I wouldn't do it. nm

Life does not revolve around my work now
I work less and don’t have to have as much.
Sounds like my work life...
I hear you loud and clear! This sounds just like my job too, so I know how frustrated and unappreciated you feel. Hugs to you my friend! 
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
Yes, I work 80-90 hours a week. I am going to stop because life is passing me by and it has caused
depression. There is no way mentally or physically you can keep up the pace. It is finally getting to me and I now realize there are more important things in life than work. I have been a workaholic all of my life. It started as an escape to a bad marriage but I ended up missing my kids grow up, I've lost friends because I have no time for them, and this is my last chance with an 8-year-old child left at home to get it right and put my family first. It means giving up a lot of "material things" but what do they matter when all you need is the love of your family. I'd never recommend this to anyone. 
My husband just signed up for group life insurance with work which will give him 10x his salary if
he dies which will leave the kids and I with almost a million bucks if he dies. Of course I would much rather have him here more than anything. He had just 150,000 in insurance but for some reason just opted for this group thingie. When talking last night I asked him if he died if I could marry again and this man got so upset with me I thought he was going to cry! He told me absolutely, positively NOT that I could not remarry ( am 31!). He is 35. LOL
Poor guy. Leaving me all this money and I supose the thought of me sharing his wealth with someone else makes him sick!!
I told him he could go ahead and marry if I should happen to die. I want my kiddies to have a great mom and person who loves them very much. Wouldn't you agree?
How do you feel about your spouse or partner remarrying if you or he dies??
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

Same thing with nationals. You work all the time to keep the account caught up when others dont work
and then when they decide to put a whole lot of extra people on your accounts and run you out they could care less about how much you worked.
I work for Warminster at MQ and I am sick to death of being jerked around with no work all the time.
I would like a job where I can depend on the work and it does not seem to be in this office of MQ.
Has anyone breast fed while trying to work at home, can you do this and still work full time?
It seems like the more literature I read on the subject, the longer it seems to take, especially in the beginning when you are breast feeding every two hours, or does it really just depend on the baby?
Life is life....the haven't bonded the same as if it were a 2-year-old!

I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
The only way to fight this (I do know what you mean now) is to SM
refuse to work for companies like this. I've said it many times before. I have worked at two hospitals as an at-home employee. Many accounts for other hospitals, fill-in stuff, doctors' offices.
The company I work for ow is pretty large, its employees national, from PA to Alaska.
We do have account specifics. But somehow, some way, the MTSO has always kept our "welfare" first and foremost, except for some niggling problems with turnaround time that *I* don't agree with. They are fairly minor, I just get aggravated over the hospital thinking they own us.
We are assigned a certain number of minutes a day...whatever we've asked to get. If we do that in 15 minutes, wonderful. We just made a jillion dollars an hour. If it takes us 10 hours, well, we made less.
We can plan our lives. We make decent money. She absolutely does NOT let anybody pull the above crappola on us. There's somebody else on this board who works for the same person. I imagine she feels pretty much the way I do, but I can't swear to that.
SAME fight again with DH....
Please tell me if I am wrong. I told my husband that I need an ergonomic keyboard now as my hand and arm have been sore and achy recently. I am going to do whatever I can to avoid CTS. Well, bills are tight, of course. The thing is I asked him IF we can swing it anytime soon, can we get one. Here's the thing: I take $100 out of my paycheck every 2 weeks for spending money, i.e. going to lunch with friends, w/ my kids mind you. He tells me to use my spending money to but the keyboard instead of going to lunch. Okay. The thing is lunch every couple of weeks is the only time, and I mean only time, that I get to go anywhere due to time/money issues. HE on the other hand constantly goes to his dad's after work, where all the boys hang out, and comes home after a couple/few hours of hanging out. That does not bother me. What bothers me is that he doesn't get that it will always cost money for me to go out because either we pay a sitter or I have to pay for something, Lucky him that the beer is provided. Must be nice to have your freedom. I don't think he really gets how good he has it. I am the only wife that doesn't give him an earful when he comes home after being out with the guys.
Am I being a shrew?
Like I said, not your fight...sm
As long as it is not your husband I would not lose sleep over it, nor should you let it cause a fight and tension between you and your hubby. What his friend does is his business. Breathe....and let it alone. Chances are this isn't the first time he's found a "friend" in a bar and won't be the last.
Maybe we can fight them together!
I have never given up looking for ways to shut them down. The more we come forward -- the best chance we have of the right people hearing us! What comes around goes around and Toth has it coming!!!!
ONLY WAY TO FIGHT THIS IS...SM
to educate the public in general, on a population-wide basis, that their private medical information is being sent halfway around the world. As with any big business abuses here in the U.S (banks, credit card companies, etc, etc) it happens because the government allows it. If there are strict privacy laws re. patient medical information, how then does it extend to giving the whole world carte blanche to it, even sell the info to insurance companies and the like?? The PUBLIC has to be made aware of it... the media is best... but I wouldn't be above passing out fliers in doc's waiting rooms or hospital lobbies. A lot of wheels have to squeak first before this one gets any grease!! 
I'm not starting a fight.
I just wanted to know why you thought I had no friends because I don't like the skank. That's how it came across by responding right under my post about not liking Angelina. Or did your post directed toward another person go in the wrong spot under mine?
Sometimes I have to fight the temptation to
grab those thongs sticking out over the pudge rolls and give the girls a terrible wedgie. Then the guys with their nasty pants drooping down to their knees makes me just want to grab them by the seat and pants 'em. I'd probably get arrested, but kids these days dress horribly. The girls' clothes are too tight and small. The guys' clothes are too baggy and big. If they'd mix the two styles together, both guys and girls would have decent clothes to wear. Everything would fit properly! I wonder what would happen if all the parents in the nation refused to let their kids buy that urban trash look.
Yes! My dogs fight to see who
can sit closest to my chair (I have three and they are not small). My husky has been extra annoying lately. I think she has cabin fever, ready for spring so she can spend more time outside.
How do you fight fatigue?
I find that after a certain amount of hours, say 4 or 5, my arms and hands turn to jelly, and my body gets sore and fatigued from sitting in a chair. It is to the point where I actually dread working. And it's not because the work is hard, because it isn't. It's because it takes a lot of of me physically.
My question is, what are some tips to help fight fatigue? It's almost to the point where I want to only do MT for 4 hours and find another job to do for 4 hours a day, one that doesn't demand so much physically. Although I wouldn't mind doing this until I retire, what it does to your body pretty much has made that not an option for me.
He stated he is going to fight that.
Said he is going to fight against that medical records thing. Didn't mean offshoring, does not sound like he has any idea about that happening to our medical records.
You'll have to try to start a fight with someone else because
But if it makes you feel better to make bird noises, party on!
Fight with the insurance company.
Why would they deny it? Unless it's an unauthorized procedure via HMO. Bleah. I'd also talk with your daughter to see if she has concerns. Be patient, though. She'll talk to you if she knows you'll talk with her instead of yelling at her.
I'm fighting a bill for several thousand dollars that has been denied three times now in the past 18 months. However, I legitimately had dual insurance coverage at the time, so I shouldn't have had to pay anything out of pocket.
usually you can fight or there is a clause for emergency sm
situations that you can go to the nearest hospital for emergency and i would say it was emergency or you wouldn't have went to the ER. fight it; you pay the benefits, you should get some help.
Just keep fighting the fight..... I remember...
seeing one of those earlier Star Wars movies, maybe the first one, and some guy next to me had a little about 2-1/2 to 3 with him. That kids are TERRIFIED, keping asking "what's that Daddy, why's he doing that Daddy, DADDY DADDY!"
Have people lost their brains? Kids can't process all this stuff. Let them watch Thomas the Train or Little Bear and let them be kids.
yeah, I have to fight being angry about it.

You will lose this fight. No company is listening
to whiney MTs in their quest for the bottom line profits. There are too many other people who will happy to work for less just for the opportunity to work at home and then again there are those offshore who will work for even less for the opportunity to simply work, any where, any time, any place.
And as far as battles go, who you going after and how do you prove you were wronged.
Then factor in the MTs who are getting the good reports. Are they going to fight the cherry-picking unethical battle with you.
Sorry it's a lost cause and it is the nature of the business. Maybe 10 years ago you might have had a chance. Nevermore. That is reality.
How can you post so ignorantly? You just want to fight, don't you? If you could read, and maybe
you have that disability, you would see that my question is to the MTs who hit 1000 lines in 3 hours. If you COULD read, or bothered to read before being a cat, you would see that I do work 8 hour shifts. Go back to your kitty den and leave the grownups alone, unless you could possibly contribute something intelligent to MY ORIGINAL QUESTION.
Another thing that's hard to fight these days...
Try to find a kid whose parents actually have standards about what kinds of movies or television channels their kids can watch? Honest to Pete, I've seen 6-year-olds in R rated movies, on a regular basis. I try to tell my 11-year-old that she may not see certain PG-13 movies (which are sometimes worse than the R rated stuff) and all I hear is about how all her friends can see anything they want. We don't allow MTV, South Park, any of that garbage. They don't need it. Kids are getting so hardened by all the smut and low-class entertainment out there and I just refuse to condone it. We have kids next door whose mother listens to Eminem in the car with them and lets her 8yo watch things like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. And don't get me started on the cell phones. No properly supervised 10-yo NEEDS a cell phone. I got my oldest one last year when she turned 16 and began to drive. But I'm hearing about how half the 6th grade already has one. Why?
tissue paper snowball fight
kleenex, tissue, butcher paper and/or cotton balls. then you can "build" a snowman with it - which coincidentally gets it all picked up:)

I work 2 and have for some time
Pretty much ever since my separation and then divorce back in 2002 I have worked 2 and 3 jobs. Right now I work a full time MT national job and a part time job for an imaging center doing MT and coding. It is hard sometimes to get it all done. I try to do my MT job and just do the other either in the mornings before or at night after. I am lucky in that my position is flexible. He emails the dictations from Express Scribe and sometimes he waits and sends a bunch at a time instead of daily. Those times it is hard to do it all. Doctors have minds of their own and sometimes forget they are not the only busy ones. The coding I do daily so no worries on that. My tip is to try to get enough rest and try to keep time in for family. I have a hard time with that some days. When my son says he wants to spend time with me I just have to make time and take the reality check seriously.
