Monday night- Friday, and either Saturday or Sunday, or both -sm
I usually goof off Saturday (or do very minimal work Friday night and Saturday) and then regret it and have have about 130 minutes to do on Sunday, does not make for a fun day.
I work Sun.-Thurs. normally and will work on Fridays to get Sunday off if I need it. Works

Gotta find a good place to live. My kids play outside.
They know to come in when the street lights flicker on.
Strength in numbers though. I'd never let one of my kids go to the playground on the next street over by themselves, but my parents never let any of us wander off too far by ourselves either. It was always with a bunch of other kids.
Work every Saturday
Sometimes Sundays too
Agree! What about your hubs, kids, sex life, groceries? Something's gotta give if you're doing

I work Tuesday through Saturday on the night shift. sm
I really like the off shifts when no one else wants to work. I get a lot of work at those times, and I don't mind being out having fun when everyone else is at work.
Work Tuesday through Sunday morning on night shift. nm

I work Friday-Tuesday including 8 hours each Sat and Sunday.
I like it a lot, but don't think I could do three 12-hour days in a row, no matter which days they are. Someone must have done it successfully or they wouldn't be offering it, though, so go for it and Good Luck!
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.
Upcoming art festival
Hi Everyone,
If you get a chance, check out a friend of mines art website. He does some pretty unique stuff. All of his latest work is posted in his forum under the New Paintings category. He'll be at the ArtFest of 5th Avenue in Scottsdale, Arizona from Oct. 21 through 23. If anyone lives in the vicinity stop by and say hello! I'll be there, too.

Relacor didn't work for me, either. If I'm not exercising, nothing works. Gotta use it to lose

I need to work around my kids.
I need to be able to work around my life right now. When both kids are in school full time next year, who knows what I'll do.
I have little kids, but plan to work around them.
I have no set hours, so when they are ouside playing (they stay out for a while), or when they are sleeping I will work. It is too insane when I try to work and they AR here. They don't really understand the job needs 100% focus. But since there seems to be a wealth of work weekends, I plan to take advantage of it and get the job security and money my family needs me to have.
I work around my kids. Mine are not as young as yours
but even when I had babies I worked before they got up, worked during nap time, worked a little after dinner when DH could watch them. With my last one I put him in a Mother's Morning Out program for 15 hours/week at a church 2 miles from our house for 2 years during the school year. I'm fortunate I have flexible hours that I can do that.
I feel like I work all the time too and my kids- sm
are always asking me if I have to work (usually I do). Lately though I have started trying to go to bed by 10 and get up at 3, work from 3am-6:30am, get them off to school, then I have all day from 8-3:30 available to work. Then be free for them after school and work again after they go to bed if necessary. I am still not disciplined enough though and work more than I should, i.e. surf the internet, come here, etc. Waste time in other words. So if I can "stay" on my butt and work consistently I can average 16 minutes of dictation an hour, which is good for me. All I can say is try to set up a schedule adn stick to it. I keep meaning to write one up, but have not as yet myself (did this for college and hung it on my wall), so maybe your post will inspire me. Good luck.
So, just simply summing it up. You have 2 kids, and they fight while you work, so you just
send them to daycare, and now they're "socialized". This thinking just is soooooooo beyond me! And you can all scream and call me negative, but its just a travesty. Daycare - daycare - the replacement mom of our society, and its NOT working. Kids these days are a mess - an absolute mess. I have no words to waste on this topic - its sickening. And for all the millions and millions of mothers who have NO choice but to leave the home and throw the kids in day care - sitting in an office with a heavy heart. Here you all can have the blessing of having your precious kids with you, but the slightest challenge - fighting? PLEASE! What kids don't fight? So, instead of training them yourself and teaching them to "socialize" with their own siblings, let alone their mother, you ship them off to daycare - Oh, yeah, there's the logical solution! Its just soooooooooooooo old, actually. Millions of Moms - even the big $$ CEOs, are realizing the fallacy of day care, and working from home to RAISE their own kids. Sure, its challenging, but the rewards are priceless, so cliche! Such an easy cop out to ship 'em off to daycare - let them "socialize" them...So what do your kids learn? Certainly not to behave at home. They're probably still acting out at home, while angels at daycare!
No kids, husband gone 12 hours, you work at home? SM
Priceless! That sounds like the perfect arrangement to me. I'm not kidding, either.
Did a whole 388 today....this is why I try not to work when the kids are home/awake - basically impo

Got it on Saturday
Started first with diarrhea at 11:30, then nausea and by 5:30 couldn't take anything p.o. By 9:30 there was no GU production anymore and by 11:30 I went to the hospital. I got 500 of normal saline, 8 mg of Zofran and I asked the doc for a GI cocktail (he did a double take...apparently not eveyone knows about it). Sent me home in 3 hours with Phenergan to take at home. I just started feeling back to normal on Tuesday but was still about to work Mon and Tues.
I feel your pain.

This has been on here since Saturday
How come still here???
Saturday
Today is Saturday.
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.
I won't B dateless this Saturday...
I'm going to see ELTON JOHN in Cincinnati!!! YES! Quite a dream come tru for this old 70's teenager. I've never been to a rock concert in my life - what should I expect? (shudders)
by the way, SNL last Saturday was a RERUN.

Sounds like me on Saturday, when I get done in 3 hrs,

Meet me here Saturday night.
I would love to chat. I'll be working Saturday evening if you want to check back then.
Saturday night chat. SM
After all my efforts to get some use out of the chat rooms, I have to tell you that I will be unavailable Saturday night. Hopefully, others who are aware of the potential for someone to be in there will take advantage and join in.
Anyway, thanks for the effort scc. Hope we can hook up another time.
Leaving this Saturday for a week...
in Bethany Beach, DE. My parents rent the house and my family of 5 and my sister's family of 4 plus Mom and Dad all go together. The beach is almost in our back yard and there is outlet shopping paradise in Rehobeth, not to mention seafood, seafood, seafood! Can't wait!
Sunday's the day
Received an e-mail that Fox News had started the boycott, and not to buy gas on Sundays. The e-mail I received was not date specific.
Every Sunday
I work 9 hours every Sunday, but this was the schedule that I created.
I'm bored and dateless on a Saturday night...
Is it my basic personality? 
Only "bath night" in our house was Saturday
You're like school on a Saturday, "Babe"...
No class.
I worked 2 hrs 35 last Saturday and got my 1200 for the 8-hour day sm
Had the same epiphany. End result? I have worked 72 the past 2 weeks (not quite 80, not till tomorrow). How much money have I made? $2000 at 8.5 cpl SO FAR, I have to work tomorrow.
Her birthday was Sunday. :)
It's been up there at the top since Sunday. lol
it changed on sunday. my question is does this mean mq has given up
on lowering the line rate for "editing" now that they have given up the "correction" and put everything under transcription and what does "clerical" mean when you go for line count? also QA and QC. aren't they both the same?
Most companies are wanting a Sunday through
Thursday schedule, Tuesday through Saturday, so you would still be working 5 days, but would always be working 1 w/e day. If you just rotate weekends it depends on the company what days you would have off during the week, whether they would dictate the days you took off or you would be able to choose.
I only saw the first few minutes Sunday night.
It was a repeat. I will try not to give to much away. They were having an affair. She was about to tell him she was pregnant but he told her that they should cool things for awhile, so he doesn't know she is pregnant. Much more happens after this. I don't know if next week's episode is going to be new or not. Let me know if you need more info. I am hooked also.
Just got back from Disney on Sunday
at the Polynesian resort. We stayed there last year. Stayed at Grand Floridian this year (courtesy of in-laws). We had the Disney Dining plan, 1 counter service, 1 table service, and 1 snack per person per day. We found it worked out to be a good deal for us.
Thanks! I was devastated that I missed it Sunday!

I thought about my birth mom on Sunday (nm)

Will U still need Paul McCartney Sunday when he's 64?
Will U still feed him? Grandchildren on his knee - Vera, Chuck & Dave...
11 o'clock p.m. is still Sunday, and third shift
can vary with company, depending on if they are on one coast and you are on another. I have been offered a 3rd shift job, but can start at 9:00 p.m. based on the time differences in our locations.
only 1 alert from MTStars since Sunday??
Is there something wrong with the site or have the storms from Michigan hit the MTstars website? It seems like I should have more than one alert from this board. Is anybody else having the same trouble? Just wondering and trying to stay dry. (As best I can since Michigan has had 4 days of rain and more forecast).

my 18 yo daughter will be working for a grocery chain out here starting Saturday.
It will be interesting to see if she gets any tips ... or will be allowed to. She's going to be starting at $1 over minimum wage but has to pay union dues. She just quit a restaurant job where the business received tips that were to be divied up between the staff. She got lots of tips at her tables that she had to put in the tip jar. She never saw a penny in her pocket from those tips.
Personally, I've never tipped the baggers, but they do work hard!
Do little kids like caramel? My big kids won't even eat it! We make the basic Baker's chocolat

SORRY. meant for MTSO post below. Must be Sunday
My only night off. Big old brain cramp here!
I got lucky this year. Scheduled off is Sunday. :)
Not so lucky last year. I took on this job knowing that my scheduled work days were just that, holiday or not, and I've never minded.
I do ask for time off well in advance if I want it and the 2 companies I work for have never had a problem.
