This recipe is from pre-crockpot era.

Double wrap the roast in foil.  Poke holes in the foil with a fork and put the roast with the poked holes side down on the broiler pan.  Bake at 350 according to the size of the roast per pound.  Very yummy and very easy. Pan drippings make the best gravy.

to me. I log on and EVERY SINGLE piece of dictation is ESL.  The account I'm on, only has a handful of ESL dictators and so I don't usually mind when they're scattered amongst the rest, even though all but 1 of them completely sucks. Then I get on today and here every single one of them is in the system, all having dictated numerous reports and NONE of them are done.  No American dictators whatsoever. Like that's not totally obvious? I was so livid when I got on I was seconds away from sending an email to my supervisor. I thought better and just did a handful, then logged off and took a nice LONG break and went bowling with the family.  When I got back on tonight, a lot of them were gone, but still, there are more than 15 left (goes to show you how many there were to begin with). So much for getting any kind of decent line count today.  Thanks for listening.   

and work on building your expander, macros, etc. you could get your line count up faster.  Don't know if you have a line per day committment or hourly committment, but if you have lines you can get them finished quicker with a better expander and have more time to play or do whatever.  I am NOT a morning person, but I feel so much better when I do make myself get up and then by 9:00 I've made my line committment and I've got the rest of the day to do what I want/need to do and if I need more lines I can work an hour or two after dinner.   I almost feel like I have a 3-day weekend because I'm finished so early that on Friday I'm done early, my DH has an early day at work and is home by 10 usually so we have an almost full day to play.  

Reassess your situation.  What were your reasons for coming home to work?  If you didn't have to work at all, would you spend all day sitting in front of the TV watching all that mindless garbage and letting the housework go?  Maybe you're burned out or depressed.  Maybe you just lack self-discipline as somewhat else suggested and you really need structure.

Just some things to think about.  Working at home isn't the fairly tale that most people think it is. 

I feel like I am the only on working today, as the Boscov's parade is on TV, my two teens are sleeping, my husband is working OT and here I am working also.  Gotta cover my account today, at least until this afternoon, when I have to cook for my little family. 

Just wanted to see if anyone else is out there today! 

FACT:  VR works if "all of the tumblers click." But most importantly - the correct sound card and microphone, you dictate correctly (you cannot dictate in the same manner that you talk to someone), and you take the time to correct errors (that could be as they occur or at the end of the day). Remove one ... and you're going to have problems.

>>>And obviously you don't work for Transcend or MDI-FL where not only is the VR platform crap, but the accounts are difficult accounts AND our Expander program still doesn't allow macros. 

That was never mentioned in the original message.

>>>If you're making money, you must not have made that much before VR. 

Depends upon your definition of "that much."

>>>I was making over 9 cpl on straight typing at 400-450 lph on an account all ER and OPs. 

I currently work on four to five different accounts, all acute care with a wide variety of dictator (maybe 100 or so). ST and IT will not work for me. I've been using Word w/ AutoCorrect all along. I don't know squat about macros and templates. With that ... depending upon the dictator, I average 275 to 325 lph.

>>>There is no way possible to produce 900 lph to just break even to what I was making let alone to MAKE money on VR. 

Not true ... or was the $75+ I made in 1-1/2 hours my imagination?

>>>You may be using your macros in VR and doing the same thing you did while straight typing, but you're making less money doing it. 

I never said I use macros in VR. In fact, I don't. Everything is straight dictation for me.

>>>I don't care what company you're working for, they aren't paying you the same rate for editing VR as they did for straight typing, and there is NO WAY you're producing over 900 lph, so my statement stands about high producers not making money.  The only point you made is that you had to be a mediocre producer to be making money, otherwise you'd just be breaking even.

Excuse you?

1.  VR is not for everyone. I have said that many times. But it's a real life saver when you have physical ailments that slow down your production (I had a busted finger and was casted for a month). You ever type with two fingers casted together?
2.  VR works for people who are willing to do what is necessary to make the product work correctly. And from what I've read "around town," most are not.
3.  *I* can produce more lines per hour using VR, without the macro and template features, than I can typing in Word with AutoCorrect. I don't have a good memory, and that won't change. So why would I type? Very simple ... to keep my hands limber.

If you are kicking out 400-450 lph on the keyboard, however you do it, then keep right on doing what you're doing. And I'll do the same thing.
