Life's full of situations where you're backed into a corner
a winner thinks outside the box and takes a chance rather than be ASSURED of a life-time of misery.
You're the type of people who live in the same town their whole life even when there are no jobs and complain that they're unemployed.
Complacency will get you nowhere, neither will whining about having no money when there are other options but you refuse to look into them.
Your employer may be partially responsible for the trouble in your life right now but the only person keeping you in this mess is you.
Brownies
Well these are NOT homemade but whenever I have to make brownies for the kids' functions, etc., I use I believe it is Duncan Hines brand Turtle Brownie box mix. They the BEST!! Easy and all ya need are a couple eggs, water and vegetable oil!! :o)
Anyone have a recipe for this certain type of brownies?? sm
I had them once and they were delicious! They were brownies crumbled up and had a layer of strawberry's (the frozen ones I believe) and there was some whip cream and maybe some cream cheese in them too. Anyway, would love a recipe if anyone has one. Thanks
We're switching this week
I will get to keep the gas guzzler Dodge Ram and DH will drive my Hyundai Sonata. $2.99 for his truck. I use the lower grade, $2.79. Is this ever going to end?
You have been going 5 times a week for 2 years and have not lost weight? So..
it's basically more than $300/year for social hour? I've been going for 2 months faithfully and didn't lose an ounce until I went back on Atkins this week. It's nowhere near enough of a workout.
my friend just finished her BSN 2 years ago, working 32 hr/week making $60K with benefits nm

T-Shirt
I like the idea too, but do you know that the T-shirt probably have to be ordered from China or Taiwan
Tee shirt.....
I love any idea(s) we all can come up with. Isn't it strange though, or is it just me, that the world has completely flip-flopped and even the T-shirts we wear are made in Taiwan, Phillippines, Korea, etc? When did we lose all the control of this great country....oh yes...guess it must have been when I put my head in the sand and "refused to come out to play??"
First Shirt?
Per a listing by "Deborah" on the job seeker's board, I'm just wondering...is "first shirt" a term that applies to a "lead" MT? I recall in high school when the best performer of each part of our school orchestra was referred to as "first chair", so I naturally am thinking that this "first shirt" designation is just something that I had never before noticed??
First shirt
I do believe that would be first SHIFT, not shirt.
Your premise is not backed up...
...by the reality of human history on this planet nor by any statistics. Your God sounds capricious and like a being that plays favorite. You petition your lord with prayer so you gain rewards? Show me where he has bestowed favors on those who mouth his name most frequently? I see bad things happening to all people at times and good things happening to all people at times. To think you will be cosmically favored because you worship the "right" God is not backed up by anything that has occurred in this world.
I think the most Christians can gain from prayer and worship is a happier, more fulfilling life. Why is that not enough in itself?
I AM the seller.. does it mean the buyer backed out??
nm
Medikin is expensive if you ask me. I tried it and backed out.

Should add.....now I need to get other things backed up, i.e., expanders, templates, etc. nm

where there is smoke there is fire and these lawsuits are pretty much backed up by SEC.
Fraudulent billing, books that are cooked, are not claims that are made frivilously and are not accepted into a court of law without some merit. Watch and see. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it may be a duck. Apply that to everyone who deals with MQ involved in a lawsuit against them, MTs, Shareholders and Clients. Plus the delisting by SEC. Mighty suspicious huh? Not just one person or entity but three different ones - PLUS SEC.
T-shirt is a terrific idea! Poor little guy. He isn't used
to being so restricted. The cone is making his neck a little itchy and I have to get in there about every half hour to scratch his neck and ears. Normally he doesn't scratch much but I think it's bothering him. I keep telling myself "it will get better."
Is there engineer week? Astronaut week? Veterinarian week?

I use Oriental Trading Comp. too, but I am crunched for time since other mom backed out on me! Thank

I got the cool T-shirt! Thank you, Sheri. It was a pleasure to participate. SM
I commend you on making the world a better place!
Can buy scrubs anywhere and then take them to a local T-shirt/banner monogramming place. nm

Woops, meant to say the jeans and t-shirt are fine for CHURCH...

If you're good enough, I don't think those years
will matter.
Sorry, I don't know of a specific company. Hubby gets benefits, so that's never been a factor for me. I work for MQ right now, which I'm trying to get out of and have started another PT job. That one's good, but it is IC with no benefits. MQ does have benefits, but I really don't know how they are.
I would suggest posting on the company board and asking more specific questions, i.e., what are some companies that have decent insurance, do any companies give paid holidays, etc.
In all honesty, you probably won't find a company that fits all you want. You may have to decide which are most important and go from there.
In a time where holey jeans and a t-shirt that has some vulgar words printed on it, I'd say YES

You're okay making LESS than you made 10-20 years ago?
I'm not. No, every "job" doesn't work itself DOWN the ladder of success. I'm working to earn a living, I'm working to have goals, to better myself and my way of life. I would never settle for a job that keeps paying less and less. Sorry, but I disagree with you but to each his own.
Just wait till you're 10+ years into it and getting paid half of that.

Typically this week is a slow week in lots of places
because it is a big vacation week. Typically things slow dow a bit in the summer too because people are putting off elective surgery, but at the same time lots of people going on vacation so it should balance out.
Lowest runs $900 week, highest $1400 week (sm)

Does anyone know how to put Outlook Express emails over to Outlook so they can be backed up to CD?

I work 6 days a week every other week
Due to my company's payroll (it runs Sun-Sat), I'm able to work a rotating schedule with every other weekend off. Week 1 I work Sunday through Thursday with Fri, Sat, Sun off. Week 2 I work Monday through Friday with Saturday only off. Then I'm back to week 1 and get that following weekend off.
I've found that I'm more productive with shorter shifts and I have kids in school anyway, so I work a lot of split shifts during the week. If possible, you might want to consider cutting back your hours to 30 hours and just work five 6-hour days in split shifts, 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening.
For Pete's sake, you're not terminating a pregnancy, you're just typing a report after the
It's already been done before you even hear about it, and NOTHING changes regardless of whether you or someone else types it. Sheesh.
It's not funny when you're on a board where language is one skill you're selling.

Also worn out 2 keyboards in 4 years. I will never retire. DH will come home some day from work and I'll be slumped over my keyboard. I put in 14 hours a day 7 days a week.
Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
If you're experienced, try for 9cpl or higher, and you're lucky to get that! nm

Skip it. No one cares. Either you're good on the test or you're not.

You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.

Pack years = packs smoked per day x years of smoking - sm
25 pack-years = 25 years of 1 pack a day, or 12-1/2 years of 2 packs a day.
I don't think pack-years applies to someone who smokes only cigars. But I don't know for sure.
I worked for Cbay for 3 years. I was also part of their lay off back many years ago. sm
Even though I got stuck in a lay off era, I still love the company. They paid well then. The people were nice (exception of 1 person) and if I had the opportunity I would go back again. Fortunately (or unfortunately - depending on how u look at it), I have a great paying job right now, so I am not looking for a change. I do know that at one time, they asked management to accept late paychecks, but never sure of the reason why. My check was never late.
You're forgetting all the stuff you can't buy when you're UNEMPLOYED!
Unemployed people have a hard time buying anything, including cheaply made offshore products. How many will have to end up depending on public assistance? That means more tax dollars being eaten up - besides the taxes NOT being collected from the overseas workers. In the long run, are you really enjoying a lower price?
If you're on the job, ask for samples to do it how they want it. If you're testing, separate o

You're not losing it, you're burned out on your main job.
I feel for you... I am having my own "version" ;-) of these kinds of struggles. Lots of recent changes at the admin level have made my job do a 180, going from a really great one to a really crappy one.
For me, it's a struggle to get through the day with a shred of motivation. I get distracted in the way you discuss as well.
I just try to make my environment as comfortable as possible and make the best of it while I decide what the best way is to deal with the burnout... I figure if I can't change my inner brain workings so that I still like this job, I need to find another one, or this feeling will possibly get worse!
I hope it works out for you. Wish I had some better advice for you, but this really does look like burnout and extreme job dissatisfaction to me. We all wear it differently. Try to be good to yourself while you figure out a solution.
Don't know what you're complaint you're making with this post. sm
You stated in your original post that you don't want to work weekends or odd shifts. What is your definition of an odd shift? Second shift? Third shift? Sounds like you want to work M-F on days. Sounds kind of rigid to me. 
Personally I like second shift, so everyone working days means more work for me! 
I know it used to be 5-10 years back, but the laws changed within the last 2 years. They can only g

6 years legal then switched to medical 17+ years ago. sm
I don't mind doing legal and will do it now from time to time, but be prepared to be totally bored out of your mind.
At least that's the way I feel. I love to transcribe, learned legal in college, went on to get my paralegal degree, etc., etc., but I did temp work when the kids were younger, which was about 90% medical and I would never go back to legal except for once in a while.
Booooooring.
Only 3 years away from reaching total years for retirement
but if I had to do this and raise a family, would feel exactly like you do. The pay is terrible compared to what I used to make. I work 32 hours a week, hope to be able to continue even after full retirement age. I have worked on VR now and unless places get to where they really do not care about how their reports look, think they will need MTs. I very seldom do a report and it is 100%, just cannot remember 1 like that and most take a lot more editing. Working now because want to, not have to anymore, thank goodness!!
