Glad you're both okay! They say X-mas lights are a cause of lots of fires.

Congrats on your job offer!
You're lucky. I get lots of work but have
You're welcome. Glad to share.
They will be glad to know you're thinking of them - go for it.
We're glad we cheered you up!
to know I am not alone all day anyway! Other than my cat of course, but she sleeps all of the time. But, my house comes alive after 4 p.m. when the hubby and kids get home. I'm with ya' on trying to stay productive during the day, but sometimes it just doesn't happen and that's okay too! HAVE A GOOD ONE!! Enjoy! 
We're in the minority but glad
to see I'm not alone :)...
You're very welcome ~ glad it worked! (nm)
Nothing at all, glad you're NOT complaining which what most people come here to do.

Fires
We had an extremely wet winter, which means the weeds and brush grew, well, like weeds. Now that the temp is over 100, everything is dried up and looks like straw, making for a giant tinderbox.
Yes, and so have the fires
I am so tired of looking out my front door and seeing some mountains on fire. There were another batch of lightning caused fires near my house yesterday. I want RAIN and not all the nonsense with the wind, lightning, hail, etc. For all of that, we get 3 drops of rain. It's time for me to get out of here.
Arizona fires
You all have probably seen the horrible Arizona fires on TV. I can see the smoke and flames from my house-- and could be in its path if the wind changes. There is a meeting at the high school tonight regarding fire info. Even though I am SO tired of doing transcription, I would much rather be home doing it than attending a fire meeting-- .
I feel so bad for those who are going through the floods and fires.
It doesn't have to be a huge disaster to reek havoc on someone's life and if you are affected by these disasters, my prayers are with you.
Not just fires. Remember Katrina?
There could be a tornado. Yes, records are sometimes lost but that is NO REASON to send PHI to a stinking place like India or Pakistan or wherever. I could give a rip less whether an MT in India has ANY job or not and certainly not mine.
Fire patrol means putting out FIRES, you dum-dum. LOL

My boss routinely gets drunk during holidays and fires
everyone. She needs a membership to AA so she can get off the beer.
The lights were on and
it was daytime. There was nothing to see. Ever read the book 'Withering Heights' , oops, my bad, I meant 'Wuthering Heights'. You sound like you're getting tired. Why don't you give it up for the night and go to bed. You are no match for me.
the lights are on, but nobody's home! nm
No lights on in the attic.

THe best Christmas lights ever...lol

Lights of America
I just sent my hubby down to Walmart to pursue the sunlight lamp. I think I am really gonna like it!!!!! I am recommending it to my colleagues. Thanks for the post, MTs !!!!

She came here to turn out the lights.

Halloween twinkle lights.
These lights are adorable. If you weren't going to have the kids make them, perhaps you could make them up ahead of time to "decorate". Twinkle lights are sold at the dollar stores nowadays for a buck!!!

He, he, turn out all lights, disconnect
sprinkler, AND put the dog out. Maybe you will be safe. You could also hang a sign out front, real big, that reads "GONE TO BED, PLEASE DO NOT AWAKEN." Let us know what you end up doing and good luck.
OK! I'm glad you're back down here. Now don't go back up there and read those evil posts ag
Okay? But I have to leave you now, sadly. Thousands of noble dictating doctors are anxiously awaiting my help with their "dictations"....They're all loading up on chips, drinking lots of soda so they can burp, and then have to go to the bathroom...You know the routine! Off I go to earn some pennies!! But, truly, I am thankful that I have a job!
BBQ, slaw, cornbread, ham, casseroles, lots of veggies, chicken pastry, lots of desserts!! BIG fami

Now the lights came on. Hourly average drops for pay for PTO,
jeopardize benefit status, and no increase in pay because you don't produce enough work consistently. Overhiring is used to their advantage. They do not care about the employees.
Are you under fluorescent lights or hooked into a Dictaphone? nm

Drugs! Lots of drugs! Sadly, you're probably like
most of us and don't have time to go to the doctor! Oh well! Feel better soon! You are not alone! 
Lots of inexpensive decorations at Big Lots. Had a party last year.

Mouse included in the package lit up right after battery insertion. No on lights
come on when the batteries are inserted and power button doesn't do a thing. Power isn't being transmitted to keyboard for some reason.
LOTS and LOTS of video tapes and DVDs.

For Pete's sake, you're not terminating a pregnancy, you're just typing a report after the
It's already been done before you even hear about it, and NOTHING changes regardless of whether you or someone else types it. Sheesh.
It's not funny when you're on a board where language is one skill you're selling.

Hope you're gonna have a glass of wine while you're relaxing
in your spa goodies. Congrats!
Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
If you're experienced, try for 9cpl or higher, and you're lucky to get that! nm

Skip it. No one cares. Either you're good on the test or you're not.

You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.
You're not going to find a word expander for free. You're going to have to pay

You're forgetting all the stuff you can't buy when you're UNEMPLOYED!
Unemployed people have a hard time buying anything, including cheaply made offshore products. How many will have to end up depending on public assistance? That means more tax dollars being eaten up - besides the taxes NOT being collected from the overseas workers. In the long run, are you really enjoying a lower price?
If you're on the job, ask for samples to do it how they want it. If you're testing, separate o

You're not losing it, you're burned out on your main job.
I feel for you... I am having my own "version" ;-) of these kinds of struggles. Lots of recent changes at the admin level have made my job do a 180, going from a really great one to a really crappy one.
For me, it's a struggle to get through the day with a shred of motivation. I get distracted in the way you discuss as well.
I just try to make my environment as comfortable as possible and make the best of it while I decide what the best way is to deal with the burnout... I figure if I can't change my inner brain workings so that I still like this job, I need to find another one, or this feeling will possibly get worse!
I hope it works out for you. Wish I had some better advice for you, but this really does look like burnout and extreme job dissatisfaction to me. We all wear it differently. Try to be good to yourself while you figure out a solution.
Don't know what you're complaint you're making with this post. sm
You stated in your original post that you don't want to work weekends or odd shifts. What is your definition of an odd shift? Second shift? Third shift? Sounds like you want to work M-F on days. Sounds kind of rigid to me. 
Personally I like second shift, so everyone working days means more work for me!
