Gravy train?
I wouldn't call it ever being a gravy train. We are highly trained professionals who work hard at what we do and we do it darn good, thank you very much. It's not like we sat here eating our bon bons and getting upset because the banging away at the keyboard ruined our new manicure! To say it was a gravy train is downright insulting, IMO.
That said, I don't have 30+ years in this profession but I do have 15+ years including working in-house and remotely from home. My first at-home was around 1997 for a small company doing straight transcription, none of this VR stuff, which lasted only about 4 months until the work dried up. The pay was good while it lasted though and there was 24 TAT, no punching a time clock and sticking to a strict schedule. As long as the work got down within 24 hours it was fine. That same company is still around today as a national but not huge like others out there. I ended up having to go back in-house and was there until about 4 years ago when I signed on with a very well known national that screws people to the Q, if you get my drift. I don't know when the MT biz as a whole went into the toilet, but up until 2 years ago I had no problem. I was working hard all the time as work was available basically 24/7. Never did I get NJA except for an occasional week or two around the holidays but very quickly the workload would start to pick up. I had a GREAT supervisor who made working fun and made us feel like we were a real team. The company always had bonus incentives with quirky little games. It may sound corny but it actually made us feel valued and brought some fun into it while making good money at the same time. Then about 2 years ago, things started changing for the worst and it's been going downhill FAST every since. Maybe the offshoring and technological advances have something to do with it, I really don't know. One thing I do know, I DO NOT advise anybody new starting in this profession now. What once was a professional and lucrative career has basically been made into a sweat shop scam for the so called "training programs" and large nationals to make a nice profit at the expense of the MTs. It is such a cut throat business with accounts going to the lowest bidder just to save a few bucks. I only hope that things will turn around some day soon and MT can be the professional career it once used to be.
Please don't say it was a gravy train. Thank you.
i didn't say the reduction was gravy
i said what you have been getting up til now IS gravy -- you've been paid high-dollar for ASR when you don't have to do anything but edit.
Just ate some B&G that DD made, except I like my gravy on toast. nm
:L
I have gravy accounts, but I still plan to get out.
I have my own accounts, 14 cpl, and average 300 lph - or more. You do the math. Great $$, but I am tired of typing. And I am tired of the lack of the respect MTs get. And I am tired of the not so great MTs that make all of us look bad. And I am sick of the wages being driven down because of big MT companies wanting to pay 7 or 8 cpl and make a big profit for themselves. And I am sick of the companies sending work overseas.

Elimiate white flour and white sugar from your diet.
If you had sweet tea and biscuits then you qualify as a....
I served it with biscuits and veggies.
Made the broth gravy and so it went well with the biscuits.
Have you had the frozen Mary B's biscuits?

Creamy chicken and veggies with pasta and homemade biscuits...

Why not leave them white or off-white and use
accessories and window treatments to bring it together. Personally, I like neutral color walls and like to decorate around them. You can bring the rooms together with nice window treatments, throw pillows, and candles with candle holders.
Pier-1 imports has great decorating ideas.
Good luck.
Sausage/potato casserole
with creamed corn and salad.
Red beans and rice with smoked sausage...
And strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for dessert...wow hungry now! 
Oh, all bad carbs except for sausage. Where's the green veggies?

Canned
Did anyone every have one company where they totally bombed and another where they just loved you? Been with hospital for 11 years and never had any problems, if fact, told by a passing through doctor, one of the best he's worked with. My first national pt position let me go because my QA was low. I have a lot of ESL on primary account but this company had a couple of docs that I could not understand at all even after looking over old reports.
Sorry, I guess I need to get a little cheese with mine Whine.
Definitely canned air.

What about the one that's in your bed serving breakfast? nm

Breakfast for dinner!!!! ....
What good comfort food is that!!! Breakfast for dinner!!!!
Don't you have to eat, like, hamburgers for breakfast sm
on that diet? I knew a gal who did and nearly barfed when she said she ate burgers for breakfast. Yuk.
Moe's for dad, lunchable for son, breakfast for me
We are all eating different tonight!
Still trying to figure out breakfast LOL

Try some canned compressed air as
transferred from your foot get down in there. Spray it good with the air and if something is in there causing it to stick. I've used foot pedals (knock on wood) for 10 years. I use the compressed air though to keep them dust/crumb free.
No-Doz..... breakfast (and sometimes dinner!) of
PS: Bananas seem to help, too. All that potassium, I guess. They make me bounce off the walls.
canned transcriptions
I think I would ask the company if I can correct all the errors. I have done that with my employer and he is happy that I have fixed things. I can't stand to have things be wrong and have my name on them.
How about a "What's for Breakfast" Post?
Coffee, gotta have coffee...that's about it lately! B O R I N G !
The first breakfast convenience foods --
looked kind of like big tootsie rolls! ROFL!!!
oh geez....breakfast anyone?...droool!--sm
if you get the recipe, please share. sounds yummy!thanks.
I used the canned air also or shake it upside down.
Then I take a damp sponge and wipe it down while unplugged. I have heard you can soak in water as long as you let it completely air dry before using but I've been afraid to do that. I will have to Google that one ;)
No-Doz! ("It's not just for breakfast, anymore!")
;D
We keep a 2 week supply of canned food,
a Coleman stove, propane, water, etc., in our basement because we live in an area that is prone to heavy snow and blizzards, low temperatures, and we cannot always get out in wintertime, but I sure don't see any long lines of the politicians here pretending to help us. They would free their backsides so, thankfully, they stay out of our business and we stay safe. I have quit sympathizing with those who know they are in the path of storm and do nothing about it. The idiots in Cancun knew that area was directly in the path so now they moan and groan because they can't get out. Too bad!
As far as Florida goes, you go through this same thing several times a year, so you have been through the drill. If you don't like the weather, move somewhere else. Don't stand in lines with your hands out waiting for sympathy.
Treadmill is best for losing fat, done in the morning before breakfast. sm
If you do it before you eat, you will burn fat instead of glycogen. This may take a bit of getting used to at first, but it also makes your day go better because once your body gets use to it, it provides a lot of energy. Do this every other day for about 30-45 minutes, but no more than that.
Everybody has a sixpack - just a matter of getting down to it.
Semi-related tip: use the canned air on your footpedal too
mine went nuts one day not long after I started with a new job, I requested another footpedal and got it mailed out, and then that one didn't work, either. I got to looking and there was fur in both of them! So I keep the canned air close by and keep it blown out!
Buy canned air - much safer, quicker & cleaner!

it's got to be gross lines or lots of canned text (nm)

Everyone gets a night to pick what they want and tonight it is breakfast. Nmsg

In the kitchen having breakfast. Turned on the TV and Charlie Gibson was on
when it was after 9:00. The first building was smoking behind him and he was describing it, not yet realizing what was going on. Then the second plane glided into view, and thinking it was a small observation plane, I said - "Get back, you idi*t, you're too close!" Then it hit, of course, and Charlie processed it in his brain and announced what I couldn't get my mind around: "Then this was no accident."
