Normally I have long nails, but broke a couple so I trimmed them down. I type with the nail tips, not my fingers, when I have long ones :-)

Medium

Just love Medium. Good to see a real woman, strong and intelligent, with normal kids and a husband who really loves her.

ever heard of a happy medium?
It's the difference between too much control and none. Most of the kids these days have too little - they are obnoxious. The time to "turn your kids loose ON the world" is when they are no longer kids from a parental obligation point of view.

Brats rarely, if ever, turn into *nice* kids - they become adults who have little concern for the rights of others.

You apparently don't mind trying to correct the mistakes other people have made with their kids. That's your prerogative. It just won't work. Most kids are great - don't know why yours are attracted to jerks, but maybe you need to find out.

It is a medium-small company...
but isn't hiring at this time. MTs tend to stay as they are treated with respect as well as paid well. The pay is based on a 65-character line with spaces, an 11-word line or gross line, depending on the account.

I have a couple accounts through a medium-

sized company, but I also have my own private accounts. Cutting out the "middle man" means much more per line. Also, it means I am never out of work. I tried juggling working for 2 companies, and it was a never-ending struggle. They either both gave me too much at the same time, or both would run out of work. Having some 1-doctor accounts of my own (with a much more lenient TAT) has worked very well. When my company accounts run out, I do my private account work.

You're right in that we are only limited by ourselves. Sometimes I tend to push myself to the max and then some. Once in a while I just don't want to do ANY transcription at all for a day or so, but I truly love working on production. Work more...make more!

Medium to long length acrylics.
I type a little better without them, but not enough to make me want to get rid of them!

I'm an employee at a medium-size MT company...

...I work at home yet I've had to buy my own equipment (computers, references, supplies), and now they want me to start making long-distance phone calls (to clients, the office) and state they will not reimburse me for those any long distance calls I make.

I'm not an IC, I'm an employee. This can't be right can it?

LOL!! Yes they are sizes like small, medium and large - sm
I have a B (medium) and it is very comfortable. I got it when I was 130 pounds and now I'm much larger at 190 and it is still as comfortable. I believe the A was a lot smaller and the C was just huge - felt like I could get lost in it.

I meant 2 medium garlic divided into the cloves...was half asleep LOL
