to not have lived, say in the 50s on through the early 90s because they would have been out of luck with jobs and the ability to stay home. Those 2 just did not go together. I remember the last job where I worked in house fulltime (92) they told you not to have family/friends on the hospital property to visit- not allowed on the work place at all. I love working from home but I think the choice of this job should not be #1 you want to stay at home because then like I have said before the profession comes off as nonprofessional. I do not care how MTs look but others apparently do as they post these concerns all the time- iether neighbors and/or family thinking they do not really have a job, even a post on a board stating her husband telling her all she did was sit on her a___ all day long, not being taken seriously. I think a lot of MTers hurt their own self when they post their reason for doing this was just to work from home. Just what I read on these boards.

there are lots of good MTs like you.sm
but they are NOT the ones that are always applying to companies...they are not the ones that leave a client in the lurch or fit the description.
I have had a lot of really good ladies working for me for a LONG LONG time now and would do anything to keep them because a good Transcriptionist is so hard to find.
But there are those that give MTs a bad reputation just like in all professions.
Good MTs do not sit on these boards blasting people asking legit questions. Good MTs are the ones always answering the word boards, equipment boards, etc with kind and thoughtful answers. There are many of those...just wish I could find one or two more
Lots of good info Ace...Thanks. NM

Now that sounds good. With lots of lemon and butter and a baked potato.
Can't just have crab.
Lots of recent posts if you do a Company Board search. Good luck! nm

Thank you too! A good laugh is a good thing.

Lots of inexpensive decorations at Big Lots. Had a party last year.

It's a good thing
Finally, the animals win one. Every time some "little darling" mangles a dog or a cat and they get bitten, scratched, it is always the "mean dog's fault". I'm glad you had your camera on for proof. I had two collies that were behind TWO locked fences and one of my neighbors called me up, screaming that my female had bitten her 2 yo toddler. I asked what her 2 yo toddler was doing running around loose outside without supervision and what he was doing on my property in the first place. I told her about the two locked gates and chain link fences, and she said he managed to stick his hand between the posts and the gates and was bitten. She thought I was going to "come apart", but instead I went on the attack. I told her she needed to watch her kids and keep them out of my property and she wouldn't have a problem. Her 2 yo was trespassing on my property and I wanted him kept off of it from now on! She backed down in a big hurry. People make me crazy!
Good thing this is my day off
I meant "way less errors," not "way more errors." LOL
no, would not be a good thing....sm
would end up making you look bad......
move forward - for every door that shuts, another one opens, I promise....*S*
Yes, it is a good thing.
My parent's church helps with it and my parents and other people in the church have brought from them. It is not a scam. It just helps with fod. There is no way you can buy that much food at the store for what Angel Food gives you for $25.00. Are you thinking of signing up?
Good for you! I think this is the right thing to do.
You've got to take care of yourself to keep making your money. If he has a problem with that, he'd be in for a rude awakening if you woke up and decided my hand hurts and I CAN'T work. I'm glad you're doing what you need to for your own pain's sake. My best to you!
Is this a good thing?
QA that is 'easy on you'?
It can be a good thing if.....
you treat it like a business - learn the law, get everything in writing, charge enough rent to cover the hidden costs. I've been landlording for several years now and I highly recommend nolo.com a site with good legal information for non-lawyers, especially a book that outlines the landlord-tenant laws in each state in layperson language - It's been very useful to me, kept me out of trouble at least once.
Or just call a realtor and let them handle it and add their fee to the rental as mentioned above.
Which is why MT can be a good thing for ADD sm
Days when it is hard to focus will take longer to reach quota. Personally, hormonal fluctuations tend to drag me down and make my day go on forever. Being able to stretch my day out longer as long as I get the work done has probably saved me from losing my job at times. Working all day long is not the ideal, but the perseverance is there to get it done anyway and keep my job. When I worked in-house, I was constantly late and had so many warnings because it was hard to stay on task, couldn't work extra hours, etc. So for me, working MT at home, while not a breeze, is the best fit for me and probably many other MTs with ADD.

I can't believe you thing those are good reasons.
I cannot believe you think these are valid reasons to do your dog a dis-service like that. Yes, it is your laziness that doesn't want to go have to get up and let him outside. As far as fleas, if you cannot afford to care for a dog properly, you shouldn't have one. The cheapest part about owning a pet, is the initial cost. Your expensive flea med excuse is like saying, "Gee, I am short on cash. Get the dog doesn't get to eat this week." There are expenses that go with owning a pet and that should be considered before you bring one into your home. And the digging,,, just don't leave him out for hours at a time and the digging won't be an issue. THis poor dog. I unfortuneatly can see this dog's future. Either he will end up put down like the other poster's dog or he will be placed with strangers. If he is lucky, it will be with a responsible dog ower. If he is unlucky, it will be with some one who won't take the time and he will either end up outside all the time or be passed to yet another stranger. Poor pooch.
Good post but one thing.....sm
you said you'd wait until you become financially secure before getting married so you could then could leave him and be okay $$-wise.
I left after 13 years of marriage and we pretty much had nothing....my sanity being numero uno. The stats are this....that after 5 years of divorce, women are in better shape than men financially and emotionally. That's what I've read and that's how it also happened for me. I was in better shape than him 5 years later. So, don't undercut yourself. We can make it on our own whether we have a man in our life or not!!!! It's an old wives tale from post WWII I do believe that women are not *complete* without a man and that is a total crock of s**t.....in my mind/heart/soul.
Good thing we all get to have an opinion!

I guess if there's one good thing...
the police got to the school so quickly that he was unable to carry out the *rest of his plan* thank God...those poor children suffered enough, thankfully he didn't have the chance to inflict any more harm on them...if you know what I'm talking about...I can't write it...it makes me sick to my stomach!
What is this world coming to when parents feel afraid to send their children to SCHOOL? We don't even let our 7 YO son play outside for 1 second alone, and we live in a quiet subdivision, and know all our neighbors...guess that's just it though, we THINK we KNOW them...anyway, it just breaks my heart and scares me to death...WE NEED TO BRING GOD BACK INTO THE SCHOOLS...we've *kicked* Him out...time to bring Him back...
Change is a good thing.
You’re signature gives you away—typingfool.
Some people need change. Change is good. It’s good for the soul, good for the spirit, and not to mention one’s well being. Some people need to grow and if boredom persists, this is a sign that it’s time to pursue new fields. If everyone held your poor outlook on life, there would be no dreams met, no business owners, no success stories, no hope and furthermore, very unfulfilled listless lives.
We can all compare ourselves to those who are in war, struggling in life, in humdrum jobs but this is no reason to not attempt to fulfill one’s own potential, no matter what that may be. It’s just a matter of decision, as scary as it may be, to try something different. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
I am so thankful that I was not born to you, with your attitude—so stifling!
Wow... sounds like it might be a good thing ! -sm
It also makes me wonder about talking to MY vet. She's at a large clinic near my home. As vets see more and more patients, and the procedures become more complicated, maybe that's a new job possibility for some of us. If you take the job, I hope you'll keep us posted on what it's like, etc. Good luck!
LOTS and LOTS of video tapes and DVDs.

Teenagers good to be home with - I did the same thing
 Once had an argument with my boss working in the office, because my hours were supposed to be 7-3, or 3:30. I was on salary (can you believe that) at the time, and she expected me to stay till 5 or 6. She herself used to practically live there. I told her no, I wanted to be home with my kids, and she said they weren't babies anymore and didn't need me. Well, I left everyday after that by 3:30, and believe U me, it is a very good idea to be able to monitor your teenagers, and I would do it again (God forbid I ever had teenagers again) They are all grown now.
Good thing you got a sense of humor about it.

Thanks. It's a local rad company, so it'd probably be a good thing.
IF I can even do it.
Good thing you work at home
Hopefully one day when you need to vent, you at not treated the way you treat others but what goes around does come around.
Good thing they're so cute or we'd really get mad at them!
Sometimes cuteness is a life-sustaining mechanism, especially for my 6 previous little fur-ballz.
You poor thing. Good luck to you.
I've been there but had to work outside the home. I had a slug of an ex who paid child support when "he had the money." I learned how to shop and ate whatever the kids left over in their dinner bowls. To this day I will not touch a Spaghetti-O. :)
First and most important is be a parent to your kids. Have fun with them, but set limits with them and be a mom and not a friend. That's what they need. And NEVER, EVER, say a bad word about their father, no matter what, even if he bad mouths you. My kids figured out what a slug their dad was on their own. They are both adults with kids of their own and I still refuse to bad mouth their father after nearly 20 years.
Thank you. There is such a thing as good business sense
and doing what is right. Those who have messed with people need to think about that and those businesses know who they are.
white bread - not a good thing to eat but...nm
IC good thing is no more office politics.....nm
Good thing I proof read LOL
I was just proofreading my reports before I send it and instead of typing that the lady hit her head on a window, I typed she hit her head on a widow. Ha Ha. I thought to myself - hope they weren't on the way to the funeral. Okay, having way too much fun here.
Good thing you didn't have to test sm
and it's especially a good thing if they had waved/waived as a question on the test.
Good thing you kept all your wage statements. You'll have
a fight but at least you have the proof you'll need.
Being a high-producer is a good thing, but so is quality,
and by doing more and more high-quality work for less and less per line, we are cheating ourselves. The work is the same. Just because we can do more of it (regardless of software, etc.) doesn't mean that each line is worth less. The big companies are cheating us.
Lucky you. I would do the same thing given the chance. Good luck!

Good advice, but make sure to check 1 thing
When I did this a few years ago, my company had a policy that stated if I did not return after my leave, I could be responsible for any benefits received during the leave. Make sure to check with your human resources on that. I ended up coming back to work out a 2-week notice, which wasn't bad.
agree; openmindedness, respect for others' beliefs also a good thing
b
thing and think!? hehehe.. Again, refill your Valium and good luck!

Thanks everyone! Good thing I asked, as I was thinking of 2-3 weeks! Yikes.
Thanks again. I think I will give them one month and hopefully if they find someone sooner they will let me go on my way. (what a relief that will be too!) Thanks!
Maybe that's a good thing - it's a reason for the Indian docs to GO HOME

Gotta read the whole thing, says supposedly good sense...
…Did not say they did....supposedly and do 2 different things- right?
Good thing you're the self-appointed talent judge to the stars,
LOL
I hate to admit this, but the one good thing I learned Focus Infomatics
was the Escription platform. Trust me, that is the only good to come of it. I think even if you get a few months under your belt, you'd be better off for it.
That chicken looks good, too! Fried chicken is the one thing
I'm terrible at making. I just can't do it. Whenever we do have fried chicken maybe once a year, I buy the frozen boxed stuff or KFC.
I haven't thought about dinner yet. I'm making muffins today, spiced applesauce muffins, Tabor City yam bread muffins, and banana zucchini muffins. Going to send some to work with hubby and freeze the rest for breakfasts.
Ebonics: Not a black thing or white thing. (sm)
I don't think there's any cause to get upset or defensive here. Look it up on line...even colleges are offering courses in Ebonics! ...well of course they are more sociology-type courses, but still, people are PAYING to learn about the why's and how's of this "other" language.
A quote from one of the sites I found:
"UT-Austin's "Introduction to the Study of African American English," teaches students that the sentence, "Nobody didn't leave" is not "mainstream English with mistakes," but rather a legitimate English dialect. "Ebonics: Myth and Facts" and "African-American English" are both offered at Harvard. Penn and UCLA also promote Ebonics as a legitimate dialect in, "Introduction to African American and Latino English" and "Afro-American Sociolinguistics: Black English," respectively."
