Meet me here Saturday night.
I would love to chat.  I'll be working Saturday evening if you want to check back then.
Or his kids' friends...LOL

Starting at $20-30 hour, so my friends tell me
This is what they charge in Southern Cal. Hope that helps.
For parents, what do you think of your kids' friends?

I am wondering if it's ME or if it's my kids' friends that's the problem.  I just can't stand barely any of them.  We have little sailors running around cussing, compulsive liars, thieves, two-faced "unfriends", blackmailers, anger management problems, slobs, and perverts running around here.  And the violent and graphically disgusting games these kids try to play.  Is this everywhere?  Or am I just overly sensitive?  Parents can't choose their kids' friends because the kids'll rebel against the control, right?  I just feel like I can't have anyone over here because I'm constantly correcting them and cleaning up after them.  They don't listen worth a darn anyway.  I certainly don't want my kids to go to their houses if these kids behave this badly here.


I tried going into details, but this post got so long.  I don't think it's our neighborhood either because we have to drive for playdates with some of these kids.  What, do we just attract the people with issues?  I try to tell myself that these are just kids or perhaps their home life isn't in line with the same value system as we have.  I try to be tolerant because some of these kids have had problems in their lives.  However, having problems is no excuse for bad behavior.  I'm no perfect prude and neither are my kids.  We've had our share of problems.  I also know I can't "shelter" my kids from the outisde world.  But geez, it's just ridiculous.  Whatever happened to the days when parents were parents and kids behaved?  Children should not be cussing, stealing and telling horrific stories of murder and incest.


To give you an example, one of these little punks even told the whole neighborhood that my husband and I were druggies and dealers.  We found out about it when our elderly neighbor came over and told us.  We've always been totally against drugs, not even experimenting with them when we were teens.  Plus, we both have to go through yearly drug screening tests at work, too.  What is with the world today?


My kids use my closes friends first name, though -sm
I am trying to break them of that and say Mrs. Jones, etc. instead of , let's go see Mary. My daughter has a friend whose mom makes her daughter call her "Maam" (spelling?}. Feel bad for the girl, she will go up to her mom and say "Mom look at this" and her mom will say "Maam", so the kid is "Yes Maam", etc. Needless to say she pours her affection out on her dad. I couldn't imagine addressing my mom as "Maam". The girl has excellent manners though but is a bit shy, but is thriving at school-- I have seen a big difference in her over the last 2 years since she is out from under her mom's thumb all day, but that is another story.
Why the stupid idiots called everyone to work on the holiday to make sure they meet their 1 hour TAT
time.
Not me, but kids' friends have them. Behind your shoulder or on your ankle would be nice. nm

The kids were awesome last night. nm

Wednesdays at 10 p.m. Last night came on 1/2-hour late though.
Funny show! I agree about her plastic surgery but her hair bothers me more than anything. I liked it much better red and curly than dark and straight.

Happy Anniversary! :) Hope you have a special night. NM

happy hour
Absolutely!!! It does wonders!!!!
Kids used to like PB on tortilla and rolled up. Could do night before and not get soggy.

The OP said she is happy making $11.50 an hour.
I don't think the dollar amount you make is the point she was trying to get across. I think it's all the complaining people do instead of looking at the positive aspects of MTing. I could work for 11.50 an hour because I have a husband who makes a good living. I haven't made 11.50 an hour for about 20 years.
Besides kids/sig other, what makes you happy the most?

IF it is secondary income, where is the harm? As long as you work around your kids (at night, naps)
a big plus when you are around kids all day and bring in a little cash to help out the household.
Morning baby, morning adult. Kids born at 11:30AM (both) are night owls, however. Go figure! :) nm

Friends, really miss Friends :-(
Joey just isn't the same for me
I saw HOWIE last night on a late night episode of Blind Date. too funny.
I'm thinking if they are smart they'll boot Rachel.  I think she's really smart and a good player.  I don't think Howie is all that smart or able to be a winner.  I think this could force Howie to hook up with James to go for the final 2.
Depends on the pay and account. My lowest average is $15.52 an hour (roughly 182.6 lines an hour) w

1850 lines per 8 hour shift. 15.00 hour - no real requirement

Do little kids like caramel? My big kids won't even eat it! We make the basic Baker's chocolat
s
if it is feasable, split that 6-hour shift into two 3-hour shifts. sm
i work a split shift and find that i am much better able to stay focused and get more work done that way. also, being 3 months pregnant you have gone through the very tiring time of pregnancy and you should start seeing an energy perk before long.
Don't cap happy holiday season. Cap the others and Happy Holidays alone. nm

I never said you shouldn't have kids! Feeling guilty? I asked WHY you had kids.
You clearly stated in your post that you ship the kids off to camp all day, and they're TIRED AT NIGHT!!  You know exactly what you said.  You said it as a PERK - AS IN GREAT! They're gone all day, it wears them out, and so I shovel dinner in their mouths and off to bed!  You can try to paint it any way you want, but YOU SAID IT.  Again, I only hope your kids never hear you speak that way or write that way. Shame on you.  Why have kids at all?  Just another parent who has them, gets rid of them for day AND night, BRAGS ABOUT IT, and then calls ME wicked!  Give me a break!  Camp is fine - its WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU KNOW IT.  Your own words showed your heart. Period.
It's taco night! (again.....) We had taco pizza last night, southwestern chicken soup before th
Maybe I'll just have a salad.
I start an hour or 2 early and then take an hour or 2 for dinner -nm

At 200 lines a day for 6 cents, you are making $1.20 a day or 0.15 hour for an 8 hour day!!!--cm
Did you mean 2,000? Even then you would only be making $1.50 if you work 8 hours a day.
$32/hour? You said $36/hour on an earlier post. Either way would be great. n/m

Certainly you should have to meet your
But as the MTSO it is not your business to know what I am doing with my time unless I am not meeting the deadline.  I have a deadline to meet with all of my clients, but I certainly do not report to my clients my daily goings on in my life as it is none of their business.  As an independent contractor, the MTSO cannot set my hours.  Punching a time clock is for employees not independent contractors. 
How many here would like to meet?

Let's start with a few southern places and see how many would actually meet in spring next year:


1)  Memphis, Tennessee


2)  St. Louis, Missouri


3)  Kansas City, Missouri


4)  Atlanta, Georgia


5)  Dallas, Texas


Anyone interested in getting a group in for 2-3 days in any of those places next spring?


 


Kids are demanding and so is MT work. My question is how CAN you do this with kids, rather than how
When you have two young kids, 11 months apart, (like I stated they are now 4 and 5) and have been doing this since they were born with no help from their father and no family around, YES, the kids get neglected. Part time might work but living on one salary, part time, is not an option. How can you possible tell me that anyone with two young kids can stay at home and work a full-time, 8-hour shift, and still give their kids the attention they NEED. I dont care how good you are at multitasking and how great your organizational skills are. It is a very difficult thing to do. And I am offended by your post making it sound as if it is easy to do.

I do agree that it can depend on how well your kids behave and how well they are able to play on their own. But my kids were not able to play well on their own. They needed constant attention.

So please take the time to realize that there are people out there in different situations than your own.

Reading our posts should help you to understand that everyone has a different situation. I believe everyone should have the right to shares their experiences as it might benefit the original poster in her questions and concerns.

I dont think anyone should be bashed for taking the time out to write about their experiences. I dont usually come on here to argue but you really ticked me off with your post. And try reading the post correctly. I said next time around I would have put them in day care. What I DID do with them was set them up to an activity like art or put on a movie for them. Geez.
Stayed "because of the kids?" I say "leave because of the kids"
You're in no position to buy right now. Keep saving, keep paying down your bills, and for heaven's sake get rid of that dead weight of a BF you're living with. You can do better.
So, should I return the $75 (x2 kids) in music cards I got the kids for x-mas...sm
My son has been telling me about free music sites and I was very leary.  How do they skirt the law Radguy?
I don't have kids, but my Mom was from the "old school," and still had everyone, kids inclu

call her by her first name.  The little neighbor girl next door from the time she could speak called her Aggie (my mom's first name), and they were great buddies until the day my mom pased away. 


I don't think there really is much in a name, but more in the respect you are given and the way you are treated.   Personally, I kind of cringe inside when someone calls me Ms. Anything or God forbid, "maam" (makes me feel like Methuselah!) ... I'm always just plain Merrie.  :-)


But, as someone pointed out, to each his own.  If you want to be addressed a certain way, you have that right, and people should respect that.  I'm glad you corrected the child ... hope it "sticks."    


It might help if several of you set up a day and time and meet there.

How do you meet the buyer?
Do you have to let strangers in your house? I'd be afraid they'd be looking around to case the joint.
She still has to meet TAT and recording

not a good idea.  What if that report is recorded off and the hospital/office needs access to it right away?  If she is off somewhere with it on a tape, that could be a huge problem.


IC doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to do!  And if recording makes the sound quality such that you cannot produce an accurate report, then I would think that would be unacceptable. 


Curious - just to meet?
Dallas, TX
I would meet in Dallas also.

Here! Good to meet you. That guy was
something else, but did give me a chance to learn ops at an hourly pay, so I have him to thank. That was a long time ago, and far far away! Memories! Hi to all my friends who worked in the room with no lights, and the money tree with the bugs. LOL.
Overhire as long as one meet TAT

I too have struggled to meet quota since (sm)
starting DQS, but nothing has been said to me about it.  But if they do ask why, you better believe me, I will give them more than an ear full! I hate working and feeling like if I don't meet production, I'm gonna lose my job or something.  This job is already stressful enough between the bad dictators and feeling like I'm getting my lines ripped off since DQS, I mean come on, they need to give us a break!
Howdy, nice to meet another PJ.
I love psych, but the work is hard to find as many facilities keep that one for in-house only due to all the extra precautions that need to be taken regarding psych info. If you land an account, you guard it with your life!
So Nice To Have A Place To Meet Again!
I wish the MT help desk would come to this board to answer questions, etc.  I hate talking on the phone, being put on hold, being transferred from one person to another, getting called back when I'm changing a dirty diaper,  etc.
For you married folks, how did you meet? sm

Through friends/family?  At school?  Met each other at the grocery store when you reached for the same loaf of bread at the same time?    Through an internet dating site?

I think she should meet him in public place..nm

If you meet the criteria for an IC, they are right. If you do not, they are just calling you that

pleased to meet you, hope
