I totally empathize and sympathize, but you HAVE to be the one in control.

You HAVE to weed out the horrible/evil friends. Of course, your kids will rebel at first. THEY'RE KIDS!! That's what they do! Your kids need YOU to be discerning for them. I go thru the same thing 24/7 with my 3 kids and 3 sets of rotten friends to weed out. My son is 12 and a great kid. He hung out with this 1 horrible rotten kid. Really negative affect or effect (ha!) on my son - Effect, I know. Well, it was his best friend, etc., but we could barely stand to be around my son after he had hung out with this son of Satan for a few hours. So, we ended it - my husband and I. My son had a zillion warnings about how this kid influenced him in a negative way, but my son never really rose to the mark, so to speak. About a month ago we ended the friendship - really easy to do - they're KIDS. And a month later, my son has started making new friends gradually, and is a really nice young man again. He came to me the other day and thanked me for getting "rid" of this bad kid. He said he hadn't realized how negative this kid was, but my son was afraid to not have friends, or to hurt his feelings, etc. Same thing with my girls. She had a "friend" who insisted 24/7 that my daughter sleep over and "hang" at her house. I never let my daughter go over, as the poor kid's BROTHER AND GRANDFATHER ( who live in the house) are registered sex offenders. Can you imagine? Sure, my GORGEOUS 13 year old blonde-haired, blue-eyed daughter can sleep at your house. At any rate, my daughter was crushed for a while, very difficult for her as this kid put on lots of pressure, but - couple months ago another little girl slept over and something horrible happened to her. We don't know what, but its a HUGE mess in the neighborhood, etc. WE HAVE TO SAY NO FOR our kids, while we can. Bad kids more readily effect and drag down good kids, and not vice versa, though we would like to believe our kids can hold up against the negative pressure. They cannot, and that's what WE'RE here for. Even if they don't have friends for a few months - no friends are better than crap. Trust me. And they WILL find a good friend. Lots of times the nice quiet kids whose moms feel the same way as you are sitting home alone, afraid to be friends with kids who hang out with the bad kids - know what I mean? Have Faith in good winning out, and your kids will find good friends, or they will find your kids! Know what I mean?

I empathize
I won't say much except I KNOW the feelings that you are experiencing. It is overwhelming sometimes. I went from being on top of the world to the bottom, all through no fault of my own. I have learned again in middle age how it feels to be hungry and broke beyond belief. I had been broke before, but gut hunger is something I never thought I would experience. It certainly is not a crime to be poor, but it hurts.
It is not my job to give you advice, but please know that my heart goes out to you. I live where we do not have the horrid weather you talk about. I would hate it, and I'm sure that it puts a dent in a lot of things. A warmer climate would put a stop to that, but only you know whether or not that is feasible. God bless.
I can empathize with that..sm
basically I have very good dictators and I am fortunate for that. I have no ESL, so things are faster for me, even though I do have a couple that change their minds every two minutes and scratch everything I just typed. 3500 gross a day is not possible when I get a lot of dictations from them. some days are better than others, that's for sure. It seems though, that you do understand the possibilities of being able to make that type of line count. thanks.
empathize but
so funny!! Sorry, but I just had to laugh. Can just imagine the expression on your face!!!!
I have used the global search and replace with the same results. At least it can be undone but the horror of the moment is still there.
I empathize!
Part of my problem also. The font thing is important.
I was so ignorant of this. When I was asked by companies what text Expander I used, said "auto text". At least now I know what they mean!
I'm going to jump in and try it . The company should give some of these MTs commission for their recommendations!
Foot pedal control/knee control? (sm)
My sewing machine has a knee control built into the side of the cabinet and I find this very comfortable. I would like to somehow do the same with foot pedal I use for transcription. Can figure out how to mount it, but having trouble adjusting it so the 3 pedals are not an issue. ANyone done this or have any input?
Foot pedal control/knee control
Though I have not had experience with this type of modification, I have repaired numerous footpedals and have some information that may be helpful. Generally, the footpedal is comprised of the primary circuit board, the wiring to the computer, and the three switches for play, rewind, and fast forward. These switches are easily removed from the pedal with a screwdriver. With basic soldering, you can lengthen the wiring to each switch, or even replace them with different switches you can get at a local electronics store. With a little bit of creative engineering, you could mount some knee -controllable switches that could control the footpedal.
I use Control N to end a job - Control T is for when viewing an old report
Don't know what you are talking about
yep, control, control, control... that's the main

I can't help, but I can sympathize.
Mine did it too several months ago. I blamed it on the cat stepping on something on the keyboard. It lasted a week or so, then one day I turned it on and it was back to normal. Go figure. Good luck.
I have to sympathize
with BOTH of you. It is hard when you are the only one cleaning/taking care of the household (been there, done that). My hubby helps out way more now than in the early years of our marriage. In fact, he takes on more of the chores these days than I do, which I need more now since it can be very difficult to make a living in this business.
I too, though, cannot think straight when I start getting very hungry. It is hard to even come up with what to eat. It goes on too long and it is impossible. Granted, he should not let it go on that long, but sometimes the one-thing-after-the-other takes hold and before you know it, there you are -- in an impossible situation.
I sympathize with you sm
MTing is a tough job, especially at home, and even harder with depression. Concentration is one of the key ingredients to making line count and if you don't have the concentration, you can't get the work done. I don't take depression meds, but my husband does and when he took them, it took about 3 weeks for them to kick in. They helped his concentration immensely. I think more support from your husband is order in this situation. Yelling at you and cussing at you is not going to help the situation. In my books, maybe he SHOULD get a job where he makes more money so you won't have so much pressure to achieve that line count. Your office manager probably feels like you need people around you to help you stay focused and maybe you perform better in the company of others. No, MTing at home is not for everybody but that in no way means you are a failure. If you work better in the office setting, go back. If your OM didn't think you were working out in the job, period, she would have let you go. Sounds like she is there to help you. And give those meds time to work. It does take awhile. Sit your husband down and ask him to be a little more understanding of the situation. He's only making it worse. Not only do you feel like a failure in your job, you probably feel like a failure in your home life as well. Not a good combination with someone with depression. I am sure others on this board can also give some good advice. Hang in there.
I sympathize with you, but from their
point of view they probably are looking at the premise that you were out of "acute care" for 8 years and with all the changes that have taken place within that length of time you would not be "up to speed." Keep looking, I am sure you will find something out there.

involves more than just "typing." In fact, medical transcription requires approximately 90% research. Had you adequately researched "CMT" you would have realized exactly what it was and what was involved in it. Unfortunately, it's a lesson learned. The tip-off to a new employer was - new MT graduate toting a CMT credential.
