That bites.

When I worked in-house, our production level was less because we had to answer the phone and the door. Even working at home for a hospital, we were only required to do approximately 110 lines per hour. Of course, it was easy to do more.
It sounds like they're jerking you around in regard to your pregnancy. That could be illegal. Understandably, it is difficult to work and care for a child at the same time. Do you have anything in writing about the daily production levels? As for the routing, you might even have a larger pool of dictators if you work for a national. For the most part, routing and carbon copies are all listed in your account specs to refer back to, however.
Do you use a word expander? I wonder if that would help you out. Maybe that's why they keep raising the production level is because some of the MTs are using Expanders and really knocking out the lines.
I think you'd be happier working at home with your baby. I wish I had done it sooner because I wasted so much time working outside the home, being resentful, feeling guilty over leaving my kids at daycare, and going to college to find a bigger, better paycheck. I started out slow in MT because I only had to make around $700 gross per month to equal what I would have made after daycare at my old job.
Well, you don't worry about any of this right now. Taking care of yourself and that baby are your first priorities. You didn't mention a significant other, but don't let anybody tell you that you have to work fulltime. I always thought I had to work fulltime to be a productive member of society because it was drilled into my head by my family. Being a good mother is a fulltime job in itself. No stressing. Everything always works out in the end.

Reality bites
Sorry to hear about your disappointment in a raise in line rate pay, but it is reality. I had my own business for many, many years, and during the last eight years, I could not raise my pay or I would lose my accounts. I went from 14 cents a line in 1991 to 11.5 cents a line in 2005. Every year it was the same old thing - Gee, could you lower your rate, CFO got a brochure from another company willing to do it cheaper, or I was always told it was not in the budget, hospital was losing money, had to cut somewhere. The sad reality is that offshoring has cut our pay to crap because of the competition, if you can call it that. Remembering that the whole medical system is collapsing upon itself in this country with no universal healthcare policy in this country and millions every year losing their medical insurance, the powers that make these decisions in cutting their budgets where it is most obvious - nonrevenue-producing departments. Be creative, diversify, maybe do other types of transcribing added to your business, and perhaps learn something else now. The job of the future will be three part-time jobs. The kids of today know that all too well.
Blistering Bites
Was turkey hunting in central Texas and was bitten numberous times over the course of the weekend. Still unsure if it was done in the field or in the motel room at night.
The bites look exactly like the ones described in the original note on this thread. Center blisters with big red welts under them (half to silver dollar size). They break and scab and become very dark and then start to decrease in size after about 10 days. My doctor gave me a cortisione steroid to take orally for 6 days and an anti-biotic to stop any possible infection. My friends and I are all outdoorsman but have not seen this type of bite before. Everything points towards spider but typically spider bites are defensive and they will bite once and leave. I was bitten 11 times in 3 days. As far as a recluse is concerned, the odds are slim as they are definetly a "one and run" type of spider and with as many times as I was bitten, I would've been very sick. If you have many of these bites and are not very ill, chances are it was not a brown recluse.
Reality bites doesn't it?
Sorry you don't seem to be able to deal with the reality of MT world as it is in 2005. You are the one with false illusions that somehow there is a code of ethics in any company or these MTs would unite to fight ??? uhh what's the fight and where is it at. Might as well try to get a herd of cats together to fight an undefined battle for you once you figure out who your enemy is.
Well, well, word gets around, another OSi QA bites the dust
What is wrong with all you QA's who will not leave OSi altogether, how many is that lately who won't put up with you know whose QA BS and need to tell the whole company good riddance and up yours
Suckups
Not laughing at your bill.. that bites..but
in California gas & electric has sucked big time for decades! I average around $2000 a year...throw in some rolling blackouts too.
Me, too, but it's the dark chocolate. I get up and do something else, have a few bites, and then
s
buffer bites, taters and gravy with
broccoli and cheeze ... (bite = cut up buffalo roast into little bites and fry them up)
Insect bites, center water blister.
For an entire month maybe once or twice a week, I have been bitten by some unknown sneaky bug that leaves a center water blister and a huge red swollen area around the blister, maybe the size of a half dollar coin. I have been putting neosporin on it but would love to know what is biting me. I woke up this morning with 3 extra bites. I knew about the one on my wrist which has already started to blister. I am thinking of going to the doctor but don't want to look like a wacko going in for nothing. However, I absolutely hate insects and they seem to love me with the bites.
The itching seems to happen when I am in the backyard (lots of trees and bushes). So, might be getting bit there first then the bites get worse as time goes by. They leave scabby cicular scars. The skin looks healed but very dark.
Anyone else with this experience or should I just head to the doctor. Can't really afford it but tired of the bites and the scars they are leaving. Thanks.
roast in mini bites (finger food)
going to cut up one of the bison roasts into bite sized pieces, shake in a bit of flour, and pan-fry nice and slow. It makes such yummy bites! probably have a home-grown salad too...i made some tater soup with left-over brocolli and gr beans for lunch -- we are blessed with too much good food. i need to use some squash too :)
The quality I see coming out of Pakistan and Egypt still bites the big one.
