change the subject, people began to post under it, we were moving away from the previous issue and you DECIDED to bring it up again.

How helpful is that, I wonder?

if that is all they WANT to type.   Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?

You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones.   Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between. 

about our MQ accounts.

I work out of the Amherst office and so far, I have enough work.  This weekend we are a bit out of turn-around but the ladies on this account, and I, are working quickly to change that (when I'm not poking my nose on this message board).

I am wondering though, if it's just a few isolated accounts that are running out of work from the Amherst office, and it is illegal to discuss what accounts those are?  It probably is--just think it would make a lot of us feel better (especially those of us out of Amherst that are starting to worry) if we knew that it's the same few accounts that are running out of work all the time, and not ALL of the accounts.

I don't know.  This whole situation makes me sort of sick.  I'm thankful I have work, but very sad that many of you appear not to and wonder when my account is next.

I recently started working from home as an IC.  This is my first job as an MT.  I am really enjoying it thus far, but I am having the hardest time getting to sleep at night.  For the past two nights I have been awake until 4 a.m.  Can't seem to turn off my brain.  Since it was the weekend it wasn't that big of a deal, but tomorrow is Monday, and I have to get up early to get my son to school, and get to work.  I was just curious if anyone else ever seems to have this problem, and if so, any suggestions on how to shut off my brain?  I'm exhausted and I know my work quality will suffer if I don't get some quality sleep.

He just had his sister call me which is a direct violation of his Stay Away Order.  Tee hee.  The police officer last night told me that no matter what he tells him that he WILL do at least one of the three things to violate the order.  Ta Da, he obviously hasn't improved his listening skills in 24 hours.  He will never ever change.  He doesn't hear God knocking like I did.  I pity him in his blindness, but not very much....

I use lots of Expanders and create more all the time.  It's great when I do the same account or two regularly, but during spells of getting more accounts (when my main ones are low) I find I waste time fumbling to see if I have an Expander for things.

I have had to deviate from a normal expansion pattern (in a variety of ways), and as long as I am typing the same several dictators, I get used to the way they speak and my expansions and all the deviations just come automatically.  However, when I get tons of other docs saying things in so many different ways, the deviations don't come to me and I fumble.  I think I could go faster with more straight type.

I know people say to have expansions for everything, but do any of you have a good way to determine when it's better to just type it out?  - I don't think anyone could use 100% expansion (or even 90%), but does anyone have any advice or general thougths on this? 

Thanks so much!
