Do you think The Today Show will be as great in the fall with Katie gone? So much switching around with her going to CCS and Meredith leaving The View for Today.......I will probably try to watch The Today Show although Meredith annoys me slightly at times. Not a big deal, but it irritates me that every time she talks she has to slap the table. I've been tempted to count how many times she hits that table throughout the course of the show but I guess it hasn't bothered me enough to actually start counting, lol. I've heard Rosanne will be replacing her on The View and that Star Jones may be leaving as well. Then yesterday I heard that Elisabeth might be leaving too. I don't watch that show much anymore so not sure what is going on. Rosie will definitely shake things up a bit I'm sure.

Can't stand Katie Couric.........nm

Thanks, Katie! :-) nm

Katie

I'm not a Katie Couric fan. I'm not sure how she will do as the CBS anchor. I used to like Bob S. a lot but the last few years I feel he has been biased in his reporting. I don't care for Rosie or Star. I don't watch the view any more but I like Meredith. I think she'll fit in with Matt L., etc. at NBC. I think Elizabeth is the conservative one of the bunch so I would not be surprised to see her leave. She'd never get a word in with Rosie there anyway. IMHO

Katie, let me know...

Katie,

Let me know how the job offer goes. I'm interested in your upcoming training.

Thanks,

Gina

Poor Katie
i bet after hours of labor not being allowed to go to a hospital and with a sock or something stuffed in her mouth to keep her quiet, Mrs. Cruise might be ready to realize that her husband, no matter how rich and famous, is a total wackadoodle! If she had any sense she would go find a good divorce lawyer and get out of there.

Katie, some people are much more skilled than SM
others, some work harder than others, some work faster than others, some work longer than others.

First off, I do not because, I choose not to work a full 40-hour work week, week after week.

But by multiplying my own hourly earnings: It is very possible to make comfortably more than $50, even more than $60K/year as an employee of a national putting out good-quality work (even transcribing lots of ESLs!) IF:

You are fully skilled.

You are working on accounts you are nicely familiar with and have all your templates et cetera set up for.

The accounts do not run out of work (a biggie) so that you can get 8 hours of production within a reasonable workday (should not have to spend 12 hours a day married to the offce to get it).

You are paid somewhere in the upper 20ish percent of the rate range (note I didn't say have to have top pay).

You are either an exceptionally fast typist or use an Expander a great deal and take advantage of computer features.

You work hard.

You work smart and don't waste time where it doesn't count.

You have some talent for the work.

You WORK A FULL 40-HOUR WORK WEEK.

Reasons why some don't even approach that include:

Not fully skilled. Just think, for instance, of those who don't use an expander. And a skilled worker will produce many lines in the time it takes another to look up one term.

Not familiar with accounts.

Account frequently runs out of work--and MT accepts less income instead of walking.

Is a whizbang registered nurse/racecar driverccur et cetera, but lack talent for THIS work.

Doesn't work HARD and push for high productivity. Just working is not the same as working HARD (it is tiring).

Has enough work but doesn't put in a solid 8 hours of production per day (although might think so, maybe forgets to subtract time spent complaining here from the work day).

Katie, although average incomes have gone down significantly, a lot more people are making decent money than posts on this forum give any idea of. Those people don't spend a whole lot of time here, though. Guess why! Best wishes for your own good income.

Will miss Katie in the morning! I think she is great!! nm
