ROFL - do folks eat it vertically??? *ROFL..nm
  
Even 4.5 is too low. doctors do not change - they still hem and haw, change, change stuff along wit
It is just not enough for the work. Speech is great on the wrists but you are not just reading what is typed, you are making a lot of changes. I have a hard time doubling a lot of days with all the changes I have to make. Just my opinion.
lifestyle mtso
My impression of the MTSO lifestyle is about like what you said. I did have one that i worked for who lived in a 1/2 million dollar home, but, on the other hand, she went out of business a couple of years ago! Not that I would wish that on anyone.
I like the lifestyle it affords me.
I'm unbelievably rural right now and I'd like to keep it that way. It is at least a 40 minute commute to any sort of "town" where there are jobs...and for my skills, albeit as a medical secretary or whatever I can do for work along those lines or below them, would max out at MAYBE $10/hour where I am. I'd have to go back to college for some sort of degree and still wind up leaving this state because there is just no work where I am unless I want to be a truck driver or a nurse...and then I'm still looking at a 40+ hour work week, plus commute, plus another car payment, plus all the hassles that come with working with people. Ugh. It just doesn't make smart economic sense to me to dump this job in favor of something that still pays less...again, where I am in this country.
I don't have kids...don't want any either, so that's not my reason for doing this job. My husband is disabled and we only have 1 vehicl because that's all we need. If I got a job away from home...that would mean another car and then I'd be working for the car!
I really don't miss office politics and if this job stops for some reason, I think I'm going to shovel manure at a stable on the other side of town before going back to an office setting...but that's just me. I have the mouth of a sailor and have frankly learned to despise panty hose and high heels and can't ever see myself in that kind of atmosphere ever again...I think it would cause me to implode or something.
It is sad to see the pay being offered though...especially for places who want people to be able to "hit the ground running" and yet offer only 6 cents a line. Those "employers" need a good smackin'. However, you can sure as shoot bet they have a ton of applications to wade through and that's totally sad.
Lifestyle lift
Has anybody heard of or had Lifestyle Lift, am considering it. Any info would be appreciated.
you are killing yourself to support HIS lifestyle? sm
How many jobs does your husband work? You're crazy to keep up the hectic schedule you are on right now. Is money really worth you working yourself to death? If that's the only reason you are looking for more work, tell your husband to get another job. Sounds to me like you do more than your share!
Your kids come first, not your husband's lifestyle.
I would never work myself to death for any man, no matter what he did for me. Men are SUPPOSED to be the primary breadwinners in the family. Paying for your school and your computer. Pshaw! I think you've more than made that up already. Who takes care of your kids while you're working all these jobs? You're going to regret it so bad when your kids are grown up and all they remember is being in daycare while you work. Wow, he's got it pretty good with his little indentured servant, doesn't he? What about what YOU want out of life? I suppose you do all the housework, too? You're going to burn out and fry yourself. How much life insurance does he have on you? Since obviously money means more to him than his wife and kids' happiness.  Geez, I'd rather be poor, broke, bankrupt, single, and on welfare than working myself to death for any man.
The "everything all the time" lifestyle..tis sad. NM
..
Where you come off comparing gay lifestyle choices to sm
pedophiles (which can be compared with, say, serial killers IMHO) is NUTS. Pedophiles rape children and break the law. And you are showing a common thread HOW????
You go ahead and live your lifestyle--
I don't care what you do as long as you do it in the privacy of your own home and leave the rest of us out of it.
her lifestyle sounds fascinating to me !

The homeless enjoy their "free lifestyle
Many years ago when I worked at the sheriff's dept., we tried to get homeless people into shelters, etc. They don't want to because there are RULES. The have to be in at a certain time, no drugs, no alcohol, etc. They live the way they do because they can do exactly as they please, get drunk, do drugs, and nobody tells them what to do. They get freebies from all the missions, the food kitchens, etc., and it has become a way of life with them. They don't want to change.
If I had just one other skill that allowed me to pay for my modest lifestyle, I'd utilize it.
Maybe it is the 20 yrs in this business. I now have tinnitus, am absolutely sure that sitting for 8-10 hours a day is having a detrimental effect on my health, am more anxiety ridden now that there is very little job security and I am a sole operation here in my little world, have arm and hand fatigue (it's a freakin miracle I do not have CTS yet). I just really do not enjoy doing this as I used to. I have to really force myself to stay focused and am really really trying to find some joy in it by realizing other people have tedious jobs just as I do that they must also dislike.
Don't change. I had to change back to cable. SuddenLink DSL stinks! nm

Change provider vs change to business plan
In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first. It may not be any better. If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential. They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.
Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me. We just had to wait it out. It's a downside of working at home.
i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
change attitude, change life
The first thing you need to change is that defeatist attitude! I know that's hard at times like this, but that's when you need to most.
I won't go into detail, but my financial situation is also at an all-time low, we couldn't even exchange gifts., daughter in hospital twice, & no med insurance)..but then I heard about how much worse things were for others around me this season. Now I'm thankful instead!
ROFL!!
and if you toss them a beer every now and then, they'll fall asleep a whole lot faster!
ROFL!

On the other hand, we all probably need a lot less penile bladder in our diets.
Thanks for making my morning!
ROFL!!!
ROFL! I'm with ya there!
My sis is a flight attendant and loves to spontaneously fly into town for a day THEN call me to see if I can a)pick her up from the airport or b)hang out with her for the day.
And she always does this during the week.
My hubby always tells me, "treat it like a real job"...as if it was a FAKE job. LOL...
ROFL!
I forgot about that aspect of it! We were told in Cincinnati that we should wear anything we want as long as didn't offend the sensitivities of our coworkers. LOL!
Get out while you can. Things will *never* change unless you change them. (nt)
Okay HIGH FIVE!! ROFL

rofl. MD just came in and i asked, here's what he said
the pt has a "sort of meandering gait" LOL
ME TOO! ROFL That's why I suggested it!!
Mom's know best, huh?! :)
ROFL! I tried something similar.
I told my boys that they'd have to hug each other, apologize and tell each other three nice things if they were mean to each other. They're such twerps that it didn't work. They'd bearhug each other as hard as they could, sneer sorry, and say something like, "Your breath no longer smells like a camel's backside." I give up.
ROFL! Thanks for the memory.
It was horrible at my last job. The supervisor told us to never, ever touch the thermostat. She'd sit in her office with a heating vent and get too hot, so she'd turn the heat down. My cubicle was by the windows in the winter with subzero temperatures. I was so cold that I had on my winter coat, gloves and a blanket. Then in the summertime, it was too hot with the sun reflecting through the windows. I used to climb up on my desk and change the thermostat anyway. I loved ticking that woman off because she was such a shrew. She was firing any employee who had more than 10 years of service because they were making too much money. She could hire college grads with more technical skills at lower wages. So much for not discriminating against people for their age. The things she wrote them up for were asinine.
...and someone who does not use commas. ROFL! nm.

ROFL at what this MD just dictated...sm
NEUROLOGIC: He does have diminished memory. I did start him on Aricept for this last year, but he has forgotten to take it.

ROFL!! Then he says "he's been set up!"
and if by chance there's any argument, of course it's my fault for not EXPLAINING these steps to him that of course, any normal person would know without even being told. I am saying this jokingly, but I swear, it's so true.
ROFL. Silly man.
