my take is that she worked inhouse, not at home, and now wants to find out how to work at home. nm

When people find out that I do MT at home,
they tell me that they would like to do MT so they can "work at home." I refer them to MTEC web site, I believe that's the site, which has a "test" and questionnaire to see if they would like it or have the ability to do MT. Always works. A lot less questions to answer! LOL.
Displaced Editor trying to find a home
I am a good Editor trying to find a new work home. The company I work for is downsizing and I am afraid I am next. I would like to have a place where I can have benefits as I have children.
Does such a place exist anymore?
Thank you.
I hope you find a happy new home! nm

I find working at home a breeze
I can write off all things (including part of home space, part of electrical bill, all of phone and cable service and other things on the income tax, so there is where there is a break. I keep my electric bill down by using a small heater in the winter at my feet and have an overhead fan for the summer- should it get up to the 80s, then I might turn on the air for a while but my home so large I do not care to pay $$$ to air-conditing the entire home and just me here most of the time (hubs drives long distance). I sleep as late as I like (my work starts at noon), shower, dress and walk to the next room. What do you have to do at home that you find it so hard?? I work straight through, be it in the office or at home, not taking breaks and/or lunch so makes no difference either way for me.
Majority of the jobs seem to be in-house. Never could find an at-home job that way. nm

I also live in Georgia - how did they find out you work from home?

I find most of my abbreviations here. Scroll all the way down until you find the abbreviation box.

My kids have suffered greatly from me working at home with them home. SM
I have been working at home as an MT since my two kids were born. They are now 4 and 5. In the first few years, I had no help whatsoever. Their father was a bum who didnt work or take care of them while I worked. Your children get neglected while you work basically. And babies and young children desperately need your attention while they are home with you.
My kids have so many behavioral problems right now because of their neglect. I would try to set them up with things to occupy themselves, like coloring or a movie, etc.
I finally put them in day care and things have improved, but there are still a lot of issues because of the damage that was done. They still try to seek attention by doing bad things and they dont listen to me because they are so used to me letting them get away with a lot of stuff because I was too busy typing to discipline them in their early years.
If I could do it all over again, I would definitely have put them into day care from the very beginning.
My advice would be to seek PT care for your baby. Maybe you can do some work around her schedule a little when she is home, like when she takes a nap, and then bang out a bunch of work while she is in day care.
I enjoy being alone at home, but I've got one home sick from school already.
One on one with a kid is nice, too.
This summer has been absolutely crazy. I haven't had a moment to myself for three months because all of my kids were home traipsing their friends through the house and yard. My husband switched his work schedule, too, so he's around more than usual. However, I like not having to do two loads of dishes and four loads of laundry a day. There are no toys or clutter dragged out everywhere. I can clean the house first thing in the morning, and it stays clean until everyone gets home at night.
I even got to relax with a cup of coffee and watch TV for half an hour this morning, something I liked for a change instead of cartoons or kids' movies. I signed up for an online class that I've been wanting to take. I can exercise without being interrupted. Yesterday, I went to the mall and spent all my saved up gift cards. I got some clothes, books, bath stuff, and a new coffee mug. My work gets done a lot faster, too. Call me nuts, but I've never had the luxury of being alone in the house for 14 years. It's kinda nice. I love my family with all my heart, but I love having a few hours to myself each week, too.
Except now the cat and dogs have been acting weird since the kids went back to school. They must think that I need someone or something to clean up after and correct behavior on. They're getting into everything and racing around the house behind me.
Forget "per line." Your take-home pay should be taking home SM
roughly what it was before. If it is not, is it because your current pay rate for editing (which in many companies keeps changing as the VR system is developed) is too low or is it because your talents and skills are more for speed typing than speed editing?
If the first, discuss it with higherups, and go get a new job if you don't get the response you need. My last MTSO was secretly refiguring how production was counted to pay us less. I can accept hard reality, it was the secrecy that burned. Sometimes, though, it's just that the learning curves of individual editors and that of the system aren't in sync, and you end up temporarily making less.
If the second, though, recognize it as soon as possible and change to straight transcription work, in your company or a new one, for as long as you can find it.
As for why we aren't paid more for a higher skill, that's just the way the labor supply ball bounces. Best wishes.
I think she means she has wireless TO her home, not IN her home..nm

hospital at-home -vs- national at home
I have an interview today with a hospital...work in-house for 3 months, then go home, paid on production. I don't know as of yet what they pay production, so my question is to anyone who works for a hospital at home AND has also worked for a national at home...
Which would be the best to choose? The hospital offers great benefits, but the national I work for now also has benefits, not as good as the hospital, though. Any input would be most appreciated!
Ditto for me. Have done both outside the home and in the home. We all have
bad days, but I sure would not want to trade working at home for anything. Just being here for my kids is worth every bad day!
I didn't find an 800 number, but I did find this number...
1 650-253-0000
I find that if I ....sm
get over-tired I'll have more problems with palpitations than when I'm well rested. I also have them more if I've been taking in more caffeine. While these palpitations are harmless they are annoying, aren't they?
So find a new job already
It's your own fault if you stay and put up with it. Complaining doesnt change a thing. Find a new job, we have all done it!
Did they say why? Did you ask? Did you go find another job?
Got me, but when you find out
please let me know too. I've had that in the past and it's freaky. The phone company couldn't even tell me where they came from!
find it odd??
There are many countries world-wide including Cuba and Iran that have offered help. Many celebs have pledged millions too.
Can't find out anything.
If I hear "Corporate says" one more time, my head will explode. It's like they lost the ability to think on their own and are robots. makes me mad

Hey - Tell me what you find out! THX!
no message
How did you find this out? sm
Was there a story on the Web or do you know a Phillips executive or what? Just curious.
I FIND IT
THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE PROBABLY OLD AND MENNONITE AND ARE JUST A DOWN RIGHT MISERABLE PERSON.........GO AND CRAWL BACK INTO YOUR HOLE YOU BIG OL' GRUMP!
Maybe you should find something else right now
and if you're unhappy with what comes up in October, then you'll be up and running with another option?
Hey, how about YOU find something better
You are a psycho b***ch!! GET OFF THIS BOARD!!
can someone tell me where to find
other listings for MT jobs besides this site and mtjobs.com? i'd even be interested in things outside of mt as long as i can do it from home.....need to change to something better soon - like yesterday! 
TIA!
I got into this because I could not find a job elsewhere. sm
And I found I was good at it, but I have always wanted out, though I have been here 25 years (needs of the family outweighed my "wants").
I think in my next life I want to be a government assassin or something like that.
Where do you find a job like that?
.
Who says she HAS to find another man?
I firmly believe that the girl doesn't have to get the guy at the end in order for there to be a happy ending.
Her husband can still be a good dad to his daughter without the two of them being married. If she is unhappy and the situation isn't good for her other child, she should seriously consider leaving. Just my opinion.
Once you find it...
Even after you find it, you will pay $25 to have the entries added to SpeedType - AND after already paying nearly $200 for the program. I found that ridiculous. The included instructions for adding the entries yourself do not work, so you are rather forced to have them do it for you. Personally, I think that is a bit of a rip off. I still have SpeedType sitting here unused, because I told them the fee was just not right, and they should include instructions that work!
Gosh, that didn't help much.
how do i find one of those?
oh well, just some of them need to find...N/M
IF they really have to, then they should find
a humane way to do it. I have a feeling though that it wasn't something that was necessary to begin with.
Also, because it was mentioned, even animals raised for food consumption have feelings, are smart, etc. In my eyes, a cow is no different than a dog....it's just what everyone has been raised as acceptable.
If any animals have to die though, it needs to be done humanely. If you want to see some things that are barbaric, go visit a slaughter house, a chicken farm or fur farm right here in our own country. We are no different. We are just not running around in the streets with clubs in our hands.
Thanks. I will try to find it!

What you find out-
Please let me know what you find out from your CPA. I need to make an appointment with an attorney before I decide anything else. Makes me wonder what this world is coming to. We have legitimate deductions. It is not like we get cash for our work (at least I do not). We get a 1099 every dang year.
Trying to find...
A good recipe for hashbrown casserole. The hospital where I used to work made a delicious kind and I'm gonna **try** to reproduce it! :)
Is there any way you can find out
what make and model you liked at your in-house job? I bought 3 different EXPENSIVE chairs that seemed to have the same features as a chair I loved, but none of them had what one favorite chair did for me. Finally I got a job that happened to have the same chair, and it actually belonged to another Transcriptionist in the office. I bought it from her because this chair hasn't been made since the 1990s. It's a Herman Miller, looks like ER200 or EP200, but what it does for me is take the weight off my ischial tuberosities AND conform to my lower back. While this chair did have a lot of enthusiasts in offices I've worked, others have other favorites. The best test is actually using a chair for 2 weeks, unfortunately.
Did you find one?

I find that if
I turn away from my screen and read over my shoulder, I can catch errors that I normally wouldn't because of concentration required.
Let us knows if you find some.

But when they find out you know
I have found my doctors will talk with me in their language, not breaking it down so with lay person. Go to the same ones,not a problem there. I have found the providers usually read what kind of work you do and start off asking you about your profession. Years ago before the physician diagnosed me with hypothyroidism, I told him what was the problem, had all the classic symptoms, asked him to check TSH, T3 and T4. He said needed physical done and yet he forgot to order tests. I returned, no tests. I said that was the issue in the first place- needless to say when the tests came back immediately referred to endo as tests way over the top for the norm. If I had not done this type of work, if had not known symptoms, might have suffered longer than I did. I also told a relative one time to ask their doctor for an appetite stimulant, wrote down the name and their appetite came back whereas before skin and bones type appearance with their inability to eat. This knowledge has paid off for me sometimes.
s/l you need to find a job outside of MT. If your CTS
has become an issue and surgery isn't an option (I'm assuming since you don't have insurance you aren't considering it) it doesn't seem like a company change would help, sounds more like you just need a job change. Maybe part of the depression is you have come too isolated too, so getting a "real" job would help there also.
Oh please! If you don't like your job, find another one. nm

Find a new job
What's the good of working at home if you are tied to a schedule? Look through Job seeker's board. Plenty of choices there. Do not be afraid to go with a smaller company. Bigger does not mean better.
I can't find it!
Boy, I cannot find it! I hope it's not extremely obvious and I really am blind!
I can't find that.
I'm sure it is staring me right in the face.
find second job
As work is running low in my full-time job, I am looking for a backup job with flexible hours. How do you find a job like that? Which companies offer that kind of flexibility? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I find that if…
I keep my wrist in alignment…it helps the whole arm. My left arm hurts so much sometimes. I wear a Futuro support on the wrist, compression might be why that helps but it's worth a try.
