I work for a national but do acute care stuff, which means I have to be glued to my desk in case I get an "instant message" telling me to type up a stat report.  I have the kind of personality where I NEED a schedule, otherwise I'll just frig around and wind up typing up a days work at the last minute.  I tried it before and it didn't work out so well for me. 

I'm not forced to punch in and out for breaks though.  I do take short breaks here and there to rest and get up and walk, but then I'm right back here at the keys.  Some days I even eat while typing, but that's the nature of the beast where I am.  Yeah, sometimes it wears thin like on days when everything aches and no matter how fast I type, there's always a stack of stuff waiting that needed to be done yesterday.  It also sucks when I get asked to type up stuff because some other typist has gone "MIA."  I just get bent because I figure I have to be here during my schedule, why can't they?  

Oh well, at least there's an overflowing amount of work, unlike some other companies I read where the people are sitting twiddling their thumbs waiting for stuff to come in.

I was going to go back to school but realized that by the time I finished another degree (2-3 years) I'd be competing with 25 year olds and I'd be 50.  I love MT, love working at home and am trying to rebuild my client base after some relocations which is hard and expensive.  Meanwhile I have taken some work with a MTSO but it's not enough to pay the bills.

However, I'm not ready to pull the plug yet and work outside the home but if I was, I'd love to be a florist or a photographer, neither of which I have any formal training for, so I stick with MT for now.

Have you checked Yahoo Jobs?  Googled "career interest survey"?  I took one of those and it gave me a range of potential jobs.  How about starting a home-based secretarial service that isn't strictly medical? 

What are YOU interested in?  Make a list of things you might like and you might be surprised at what kinds of jobs are available.  Unless you're in a small rural area like I am that is but I'm sure you'll come up with something.  I'd love to hear what you do decide!  :)

Well for anyone else dealing with this "hot mess" :)

I believe the test file is somehow in review mode instead of transcription mode because the instructions given me by company correspond to review.  But if you just hit the play pedal and tap the backspace pedal at same time, it backspaces incrementally.  I never found out how to program it, but this works for now for testing.
