I was enlightened by this story b/c...sm
it shows that there are some companies out there that still actually listen to their customers and/or employees! 
GAWD I HATE CLEANING!!
I actually went to wal-mart and bought new toilet seats because i didn't feel like cleaning them YUCK..so sick of that job can't someone ELSE do it?? Like the adult male who makes the majority of the messes? And the laundry? WHAT HAPPENED? I SWEAR I JUST DID IT!! I just got done putting away the last load and i go look and there is about 20 loads.....who did this? Why are they doing it to me?? OMG OMG OMG...it just HAS to go away..those little dwarves, elves, aliens, leprachauns really need to GO AWAY and visit someone elses house cuz i am just plain POOOPED!! 
Anonymity rather. Oh, gawd, I'm tired.

Gawd, I really want something yummy tonight just

Gawd, I'm so sick of schools trying label every other kid

It took the fire department to get her out of the house! My GAWD!!!!
People like you allow companies to walk all over us...GAWD

Thank GAWD no one has to deal with you personally..you are rude, inconsiderate, unpolite, defensive
Geesh lady!!
you obviously buy into the liberal
rhetoric. That's bull. Most of the planet admires us because we are free and prosperous which is why we have so many thousands upon thousands who are trying to get in here every year. We also have 60+ countries as allies for the Iraq war. I think you are getting the word hate confused with the word jealous which is definitely the case with a lot of the Europeans because they know deep down inside that their socialist society is not working and never will and our system does.....
He is a liberal. Yes,
From what I heard, Republicans also lauded the movie.
Whether or not he wants to keep Democrats in power has nothing to do with the argument.
None of the facts in the move have been refuted.
We have a system in which millions of working people cannot afford so-called "health" insurance and people are dying. This is immoral.
Also what has "people who have never worked in their lives" got to do with this question on health care?
Can you imagine a situation in which you needed a surgical procedure to save your life or the life of a family member and it was denied for no reason that made sense to you - basically to save these companies money, would your view still be that health care coverage for all regardless of ability to pay is not the answer?
I can't do this NY more. Actually ready to go out. Try a little compassion though. It feels good!
Merry Christmas.
...does not make me a liberal. nm.

Yep - thank you liberal loony TV execs
for taking advantage of the captive audience of mindless sheep that watch the idiot box daily.
Starting way back when with "All in the Family" when it started by suggesting to us that we don't want to be like the fat mean guy who's sick of the way the world's going (make him look stupid and closed-minded, while Mike and Gloria are just so reasonable and "cool") to the Jerry Springer Show, MTV, and all the less obvious but just as effective little cuts and digs that are made on the more "credible" shows. You know, the shows that make it look like anyone who is sick of this crap is a toothless hick wearing a white hood and yelling "white power", this country is almost the whole way down the toilet - celebrate diversity folks - isn't it great?
For a translation of this posting, "if you prefer English press 1," "If you prefer Spanish press 2," if you prefer it to be spoken to a background of rap music press . . . ."
That's how the liberal loonies keep them in their place
Keep them stupid, uneducated and DEPENDENT and they'll vote for any free program they promise them. Pretty transparent.
This is another angry liberal loony
Gloom, doom, hatred, anger.
People like this really have way too much time on their hands.
There's the liberal New York Times for ya.......

I think the foreign kid adoptions are liberal Hollywood
I don't think these kids are anything more than a fashion accessory/photo op for these phonies. I'm sure she and the other "stars" who adopt these kids for whatever attention/approval-seeking reasons have a full staff on hand 24/7 to take care of the kids when the cameras aren't rolling.
I doubt Angelina's ever been vomited on or crapped on (at least not by her kids anyway).
I never called anyone a loony -- heck, I'm a liberal myself. sm
My only point is, people who don't believe in Christmas, including those in the ACLU and all of the others, still want the day off. My feeling is, if you don't believe in Christ or the reason for the holiday, why not work it? The day means nothing to you. I used to work for a man who took off for Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah (sorry for the misspelling), and I respected that, but didn't jump up and down and expect to have the days off too.
Who cares - he's a liberal loony freak anyway.

Typical liberal, start with the name-calling when you have nothing else
So typical, "Don't do as I do, do as I say".
Failure, uneducated, jealous, resentful, TYPICAL.

I work for a hospital that is pretty liberal as far as formatting goes. SM
They have a basic template that they like us to adhere to as far as headings, font, font size, etc. However, when it comes to more detailed formatting, they really have no set standards and leave it to our best judgment.
My question is regarding the medication heading. Do you list the medications in a numbered list or in paragraph form? I have a friend who is a nurse and she says the clinical staff, i.e. Nurses and Doctors like to have the medications in a numbered list because it makes finding them in a report a whole lot easier. So would you list them even if the dictator is not saying "number 1, 2, 3,..."?
Typical hateful liberal. Taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune.
You're a real piece of work.
and how many liberal arts and science bachelors degrees & beyond are held on this board?

Kids are grown and gone and I no longer need to be home all day. The cats don't need as much supervision as the kids did.
For Pete's sake, you're not terminating a pregnancy, you're just typing a report after the
It's already been done before you even hear about it, and NOTHING changes regardless of whether you or someone else types it. Sheesh.
It's not funny when you're on a board where language is one skill you're selling.

Hope you're gonna have a glass of wine while you're relaxing
in your spa goodies. Congrats!
Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
If you're experienced, try for 9cpl or higher, and you're lucky to get that! nm

Skip it. No one cares. Either you're good on the test or you're not.

You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.
You're not going to find a word expander for free. You're going to have to pay

You're forgetting all the stuff you can't buy when you're UNEMPLOYED!
Unemployed people have a hard time buying anything, including cheaply made offshore products. How many will have to end up depending on public assistance? That means more tax dollars being eaten up - besides the taxes NOT being collected from the overseas workers. In the long run, are you really enjoying a lower price?

You're not losing it, you're burned out on your main job.
I feel for you... I am having my own "version" ;-) of these kinds of struggles. Lots of recent changes at the admin level have made my job do a 180, going from a really great one to a really crappy one.
For me, it's a struggle to get through the day with a shred of motivation. I get distracted in the way you discuss as well.
I just try to make my environment as comfortable as possible and make the best of it while I decide what the best way is to deal with the burnout... I figure if I can't change my inner brain workings so that I still like this job, I need to find another one, or this feeling will possibly get worse!
I hope it works out for you. Wish I had some better advice for you, but this really does look like burnout and extreme job dissatisfaction to me. We all wear it differently. Try to be good to yourself while you figure out a solution.
Don't know what you're complaint you're making with this post. sm
You stated in your original post that you don't want to work weekends or odd shifts. What is your definition of an odd shift? Second shift? Third shift? Sounds like you want to work M-F on days. Sounds kind of rigid to me. 
Personally I like second shift, so everyone working days means more work for me!

I don't get it when husbands and wives *allow* the other to have money that THEY work for...just don't get it. Go buy the flippin' keyboard and tell him to take a hike! (To put it sweetly!)
Why is it the only expander you're permitted to use? How would any know what you're using?

If they're withholding taxes, you're not an IC.
As an IC, you should already be paying taxes. That said, the only benefit having them withhold FICA is that your Social Security/Medicare share will be less. Social Security is 15%; if you're an employee, you pay 7.5% and your employer pays 7.5%. As an IC, you pay 15%. Doing the math, 0.0925 would be your 0.10 minus 7.5%--the 0.0924 is just a tad less than you're making now.
We're out here (good MTs) but we're busy! sm
I don't recall ever taking an employment test where I wasn't offered a job. My MTSO does not even look at my work unless I happen to have a question or a blank, which happens maybe once in every 30 or so reports with an ESL. If you find a really good MT, how much training would be involved? Certainly you would save time in the long run once they're trained and you don't have to check all their work.
If you're one of the MTDesk clan then you're ok

You're right if you're single it's tough.
I am an IC as well, but I have a husband with benefits and makes a fair buck. I am fortunate after 20 years to able to work from home. I worked on site for 17 years with a "chocolate cake" the day I left. Nothing more... The loyalty in any profession is gone, gone, and gone again.
Most companies want new employees/ICs that will take low pay and that won't cost much in the way of paying vacation time.
I do take every Friday off and try only to get on to check e-mail, etc.
However, I wouldn't trade being here for my kids at this point.
There are headaches no matter what profession you are in. It seems if it isn't one thing it's another.
Raises? Out of the question in this profession since most are afraid they will lose the account including myself. I also underbid my last account because I wanted the account so bad. I should be charging more.
It is a neverending cycle really.
But, I still enjoy the work, so I guess that's the difference. It does take will power to sit and type. Some people need that boss hanging around to keep the production up and the incentive of a nice paycheck is just not good enough.
Good luck with your new job! Sounds great!
If you're new, good - if you're not a newbie, not so hot
Would need to know how long you have been an MT. For a newbie, this is a pretty good rate of speed.
However, if you have anything over a couple years of experience, then this is not too hot.
Also, what are the dictators like? Is it a "United Nations" account??
If you ARE capable of 200 lph or more and you can't seem to get it, then the problem has got to be with the platform you are using. In my experience, the platform into which you transcribe can make or break your paycheck - so if the platform stinks, then I hate to tell you, but there is no way you will be able to improve your line rate. I have quit jobs because of awful platforms more than once.
