First I love this quaint British term, did I spell it right? queue, how cute! I don't claim to know for sure, but I'm thinking that you get the report based on its importance as far as TAT, do you think this could be true? I know what you mean about looking ahead and looking forward to certain dictators, but on what I am doing there really are not too many bad dictators. My thing is I just want to have lots and lots of work!

Do you pull from the queue when you want?

So you go into the queue and grab what is at the top at that time. So if you do not feel like working one day or that morning you don't have to pull from the queue?

I need to work at a place that is flexible that I can get work when I am able to.

Thanks

While the queue was empty

While the queue was empty, I logged in to my public library's audiobook section and found an audiobook called The Law of Attraction, which I downloaded for free and started listening to. It contains tips and secrets on how to attract good things into our lives, which would include abundance and positive experiences in every area of life.... I also found links online to free worksheets and all kinds of stuff. Here is a you tube link to explain more about what I'm referring to here:

An MT told me about this site, it's interesting..

Toolbar in Work Queue
Does anyone know what the expanded toolbar is in the work queue? It has about 7 icons at the top instead of 3?

It means to skip the jobs in your work queue that - sm
are by difficult dictators, or have no line-count-bolstering templates, or require too much backing up, re-listening, sentence restructuring, or nose-in-reference time to get in your minimum lines. That's especially true if the employer doesn't weight the job's pay by difficulty. Most MTs voice disapproval of the practice, but sometimes an gal's gotta do what a gal's gotta do, in order to survive and make that next car payment, rent check, or grocery bill.

Ask them to give you the ability to choose your work from the queue SM
They may refuse; but assuming you do have to sign off (I don't remember any more), you can explain that it takes too long. All they can do is refuse. Another--big--benefit is that you can choose several jobs in a row for a dictator or specialty you're having trouble with and learn in a day what can take months to learn coming through in dribbles.
