You go, Patti.  It's called paying your dues.  I spent many a morning carting 3 kids around in an old clunker of a car making pickups and deliveries, pulling all-nighters working, accommodating my clients, and developing a relationship with the staffs.  I double proofed everything that went out of my office.  It was my face they saw every day, not just a voice on the phone.  That's how I gained respect and loyalty from my clients.  I always kept my word.  When digital came into use, I gave my clients the choice of going to it, but did not demand it to make MY life easier. We are a service, not dictators on how to run their offices.  (and some old dogs you just can't teach new tricks.)  I bit the bullet and invested in the equipment and software to make it happen for those who wanted it.   I spent hours developing an very effective brochure and logo to use, and invested in having it done professionally, rather than have some home-made paper tri-fold with runny ink.  I kept my prices competitive, and my clients knew I would always go the extra mile for them.  They are my biggest referral source.

My bottom line is, you can't sit back and expect everbody to jump to your rules.  You have to sell your product and yourself.  Your reputation and name are your biggest assets.  You have to actually WORK for it.  Nobody starts at the top.  I made well into the 6-figure income the last two years, and I EARNED IT.  

You are all so arrogant.  Do you really think your abilities are sooooo keen that you can have this special sense of what poster is who?  Actually, I am the one ROFL because you all look so silly.  I AM a different poster than the other.  I dont work for MQ, just an MT who is SICK AND TIRED of hearing you gripe and complain like infants!  Not all MTs have bad attitudes and complain all day long.  And just because there may be 2 or more people posting good things doesnt mean they are really just 1 person. 

Of course, if it makes you feel better to think that there could only be 1 person who is tired of hearing it, then go ahead and PRETEND. 

HELPFUL HINT:  If you took all the time you spent complaining and applied it to work, MAYBE you could make more than the 2 dollars an hour you are complaining about. 

I absolutely love DEAL OR NO DEAL - *ROFL* - so JOKE OR NO JOKE - answer is NO JOKE sweetie!!!

*winks* @ Mac and laughs!!!! 

Just thought I'd pass this along in case anyone is tired of sitting in the same old chair everyday while they work.  I've seen this "tip" before but never bothered to try it until recently. 

I purchased one of those large inflatable exercise balls and use it instead of a chair.  It's a very refreshing change.  I did have to learn to balance a bit because in a chair you can move around, even when you're not aware of it, and the chair is stable but the ball isn't.  It also helps me keep better posture, is easier on the low back/sacrum, and I think it is helping my abdomen because you are working your abdominals and legs while sitting there. 

Anyway, it was worth a try for me.  I may not use it all the time but it is a great change. 

for the first few days went to work in a very good mood, almost tipsy!! 

Surprisingly, I did not care for that feeling!

I had to take it in the morning or else I could not fall asleep!! I have ADD so that might account for the reason I need to take all meds similar to Elavil in the morning.

Their fee is $40 a month, which I didn't think was too bad.  The total I will be paying them is almost what I am paying now.  The difference will be the interest rates and time it takes to pay them off.  My husband is really upset that we are going to do this, but as I said before, I don't see any other way.  I am keeping one credit card with a low limit for emergencies, travel, etc. and the rest of them will be history!!  When I get out of this mess, it will never happen again.  Again, I appreciate your info.

you don't need to explain yourself to Tikki (aka Kikki) or anyone else on this board.  You took a bashing about the cookies and now about tapes, and money for gas, and on and on and on and on.

You are obviously a very successful and talented MTSO/MT/WOMAN.  I admire you.  May you continue to have good fortune shine down on you.
