my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away!  I checked and the Type It button is grayed out!  I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies.  Can anyone please help me ASAP?  I am lost without it!  TIA

But this article states it would only affect new customers right now.  So I am upset over nothing.  I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge.  I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me.  It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc.  It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.

$30 in 7 days?  You've got to be kidding, right?  I could see $30 in 7 hours being bad, but in 7 days?  Either way, it's still not even minimum wage.  Aren't you worth at least twice minimum wage per hour?  Granted, there is always a period of adjustment when starting a new account, but I won't even stick around that long if I can't even make minimum wage.  Wow.  That's all I can say.  I think you know in your heart what you need to do.  You are worth so much more.

I've been frustrated myself because I'm supposed to do so many lines per week.  Monday and Tuesday were no work because the weekend people did it all.  Wednesday was technical problems.  Now I'm scrambling to get my lines in by the end of business today to reach my weekly line quota and get a half decent paycheck.  I was basically on call for them for free for three days.

There's not much of interest to me on the Job Seeker's board either.  Heck, maybe I'll take the next month off work and fool around for the rest of the summer until I can find something else.  I should have backed up paychecks coming in to last until then.  Good luck with your dilemma.

I took a Federal job last year and kept one small, very part-time MT account. I got a 2-step promotion yesterday (lots more money), so I'm going to drop the MT account. This will be my first experience as a supervisor/work group leader. I'll probably still check in here, I actually use a lot of the grammar and software info. I loved MT, but the benefits and job security were a good move for me and my family. Best of luck to all.

  Have had the same ESL the last 2 days who mumbles incoherently until the end when he suddenly puts the phone near his face and rattles off the last sentence crystal clear before hanging up.  I would love to grab him by the _____ (pick a body part) and ask him very politely to please ennunciate and speak just a little bit louder. 

Thank you.  Done venting.  Carry on. 

My 19 yo son can't find his keys and boy, is he upset.  He, dad and I search the house for the keys.  He knows where he put them last night, but they're not there.  I push furniture out, shake all the clothes that he has lying around his room, search and search, along with the others.  Now, 1-1/2 hours later, 1 hour late for work, he finds them.......

in his back pocket behind his wallet.     I'm laughing, of course he's really mad now!

5. Any Day Now

I can't concentrate, my head hurts, and I can't hear half of what is being said.

Sorry, I needed to whine for a minute.

Thanks for letting me

arghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Dictator, weather, kids,

It has all been said before.  And how was your day.

I feel better already

Has anyone ever had this happen.  First time for me but, you hire into a new company, they give you a list stating what day time cards should be turned in, and what "pay days" are.  All sounds normal so far eh??  Now, you hand in your time card exact day they want it, which in my case would be 5 days before "pay day".  Well, pay day is here today, I have no check in the mail.  I telephone the payroll department just to be told that they send out the paychecks on "pay day".  Now, correct me if I am wrong, but I would think a stated pay day would be the day I receive my pay, not the day the company mails out their bills!

Let's see, what do I do to motivate myself?

Well, bill collectors calling are a big motivation. 

Seriously, when I don't feel well, I try to be kind to myself and take a little break.  Even a 20-minute power nap helps and I'm usually ready to get back to work.  Try to eat healthy because junk food junks up our body systems and makes us less productive.  Sometimes taking a walk will help.
