I am so sorry you are going through this. It's not easy to be in that situation. I have been under a mountain of debt and staring at bankrupty before, with two small children and no money for food, and no help in sight.
I second the suggestion to talk with your creditors. Also, pay the necessities first, which of course you know already. I am going to look into Dave Ramsey myself, after that suggestion.
One thing I have leared is that change is constant. Things will keep changing and this will get better with time.
I do know people who have downsized from owning a home to moving into an apt. for a season in order to get out of debt. That may sound crazy, but in THEIR position it helped them with utility costs, commute costs, etc. I am not telling you to do that at all, but perhaps there are other options that would make things easier for you to pay everything right now.
Sometimes I feel like I would like to take just my laptop and a change of clothes and buy an RV and hit the road. 
Wish we could have a big yard sale together. 
Hugs to you.....sm
So sorry for your loss. I know how it feels. Let the memories comfort you.
Big hugs to ya!! { }... Don't let them

HUGS
I hope tomorrow is better.
Hugs to you! I looked everywhere.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
{{{{HUGS}}}} Sorry to hear that. I'm sure....
his family would appreciate your kind words for their loved one.
Xs and Os -- Which are hugs and which are kisses? NM
XO
Kisses and hugs
X's = kisses and O's = hugs!
Thanks to both of you! *Hugs* back!

HUGS! Yeah, I get it too.
My sister who is a CNA at a nursing home is constantly saying I 'just type what people say'.  Yeah, OK... I'd like her to even TRY to do this!! My other sister thought that way too until I played a dictation for her and she put the headset down and said he couldn't understand a word said. Wish I could get the older sister to try it, but she'd not admit defeat anyway. 
Or how it isn't a real job because I don't go to an office everyday. Yeah, I'd like to see them work with a toddler underfoot and still do a good job.
I'm happy with my career choice though and I'm proud of myself and my husband is proud of me so I'm happy with that! Plus I get to have this great job and still never have to miss any of my daughter's firsts. 
Awwwwwwww....((((((hugs))))))))) to you.
So very sorry. Good luck to you my dear. Try not to worry too much, it'll work out.
Hugs to you, Laurie...What the world needs now
is love, sweet love. It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
Thank you so much! xoxo - lots of hugs! nm

30 hours divided by four days equals seven-hour days. Most of us have to work pretty much every day
.
First, cyber hugs. Next, you've done nothing wrong
There is no reason for you to feel humiliated. He is the problem, not you. You know your family best and must choose the path that seems right to you. However, please consider making it clear to your family, your mother in particular, what has been going on and why you have been forced to make this choice. He has no right to make you miserable. Is there a trusted family member in whom you could confide? Having an ally in your family would likely lighten the burden. In any event, please strengthen your relationships outside your family so that you have caring friends and associates to count on if there is no one in your family to turn to.
Have you noticed how Ryan hugs all over Elliott?
He doesn't touch Taylor or the other guys but each time Elliott is on stage with him he's hugging and touching him.
I truly hope that you get some resolution to this. ((Hugs to you, my dear.))

Thanks! :::hugs Christina::: Didn't know about the upgrade :) NM

Working 6/hour days, 5 days/week I make
$42,000.00, but the work is there to make more if I want to. I'm in the southeast.
2000 low days, 4000 busy days
Did 43,000 lines last month. 6 doctors.
You can "make a living" if you work 16-hr days, 7 days
and if you rarely buy anything but food and the barest essentials in clothing. My balancing act is so precarious that all it'll take is one of life's little disasters (rent increase, sick pet, major car repair) to pull the rug out from under me. Not a good feeling at all.
550-650 lph on average. Some days more, some days less. It all depends. nm

How? By working 12-hr days 7 days/week?
;LKJ
In SEVEN days?
$30 in 7 days? You've got to be kidding, right? I could see $30 in 7 hours being bad, but in 7 days? Either way, it's still not even minimum wage. Aren't you worth at least twice minimum wage per hour? Granted, there is always a period of adjustment when starting a new account, but I won't even stick around that long if I can't even make minimum wage. Wow. That's all I can say. I think you know in your heart what you need to do. You are worth so much more.
I've been frustrated myself because I'm supposed to do so many lines per week. Monday and Tuesday were no work because the weekend people did it all. Wednesday was technical problems. Now I'm scrambling to get my lines in by the end of business today to reach my weekly line quota and get a half decent paycheck. I was basically on call for them for free for three days.
There's not much of interest to me on the Job Seeker's board either. Heck, maybe I'll take the next month off work and fool around for the rest of the summer until I can find something else. I should have backed up paychecks coming in to last until then. Good luck with your dilemma.
yes, just last few days.
Thought it was my computer - it acts like it can't keep up w/the typing and I'm not THAT fast...;) Now that I know it isn't just me though, I think I'll give them a call tomorrow if it happens again.
I think my MT days are over.....sm
I took a Federal job last year and kept one small, very part-time MT account. I got a 2-step promotion yesterday (lots more money), so I'm going to drop the MT account. This will be my first experience as a supervisor/work group leader. I'll probably still check in here, I actually use a lot of the grammar and software info. I loved MT, but the benefits and job security were a good move for me and my family. Best of luck to all.
Most days I truly like my job very much; however,
today is not one of those days. After listening to dictators on speaker phones, chewing gum, and ESL's, today I don't like my job a whole bunch. Tomorrow will probably be different, though.
I had one of those days too.
Very draining. Hope it gets better for you.
It will still be there in 2 days
when I go on to work. They let it happen constantly. They are just glad someone is dumb enough to do the idiots the cherrypickers skip continuously. The funny part is one does get used to them although they still SUCK.
Unfortunately, I had it for four days...nm
.
I think I will try it a few more days.....
If I just can get it, then I will try another ergonomic style..
I think after two days..
I am getting the hang of it. I still hit a few keys wrong here and there, but I think I will end up loving it too! I have noticed that my hands dont ache at the end of the day and thats a +++!!
Does anybody else ever have days that you just
absolutely depise transcription? Usually I enjoy my job, but today McDonald's, Hardee's, Pizza Hut, cleaning toilets, etc. is looking better.
Ever have one of those days
 When you've typed an entire report and don't recollect having done it. You check it and it's correct. Frightening. My mind is elsewhere this morning. Too much caffeine (shh, don't tell my coffeepot). 
Having one of those days 2 days in a row!!!
 Have had the same ESL the last 2 days who mumbles incoherently until the end when he suddenly puts the phone near his face and rattles off the last sentence crystal clear before hanging up. I would love to grab him by the _____ (pick a body part) and ask him very politely to please ennunciate and speak just a little bit louder.
Thank you. Done venting. Carry on. 
Have you ever had one of those days?
When it seems like your fingers are not cooperating? So far this evening, I have misspelled somewhere close to 6 of every 10 words. thank goodness for spell checkers! I seem to be hitting extra letters every time I turn around!

Some days just go like this.
 My 19 yo son can't find his keys and boy, is he upset. He, dad and I search the house for the keys. He knows where he put them last night, but they're not there. I push furniture out, shake all the clothes that he has lying around his room, search and search, along with the others. Now, 1-1/2 hours later, 1 hour late for work, he finds them.......
in his back pocket behind his wallet. I'm laughing, of course he's really mad now!
some days
 so where were they????
I tried it only for a few days, it
I started to take Doxepin instead- it was a life saver! It is considered to be a rather "old" drug and you would have to check to see if it is even available in your area. I took it for anxiety & trouble sleeping. Anyway it is a an alternative option to look into should Prozac not agree with you. Good luck. 
days gone by
How about shows you miss that are no longer on (excpet maybe reruns)? I miss:
- Seinfeld
- Ally McBeal
- Strong Medicine
- The Division
- Any Day Now
Days Definitely
I love Days and make sure that I take my lunch break at 1:00 to watch the show. I'm happy to see Patch and Kayla back too. I've been watching for years myself. I just want them to get this Shawn/Belle/Claire mess taken care of. It's been going on long enough. My other addiction is Rob Thomas.
one of those days
I can't concentrate, my head hurts, and I can't hear half of what is being said.
Sorry, I needed to whine for a minute.
Thanks for letting me
Having one of those days...why is it
necessary for these dictators just not to care when dictating. I am doing a 20+ minute dictation. So far we are into almost 10 minutes of the dictation and so far I have one paragraph done, literally. We are still in the HPI. He has said ummmm who knows how many times and back tracked to rearrange things he already dictated. I would love for each dictator to type one lousy report of theirs, just one and see what we put up with. Maybe just maybe then they will shape up a bit and clean up their act, then again why should they care. Maybe if they got paid for typing their own dictation they might get the point, once they starve, lose their nice boat, house etc. Sheesh. Okay done now, feel much better. Thanks for allowing me to vent.
one of those days
arghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Dictator, weather, kids,
It has all been said before. And how was your day.
I feel better already
11% if they pay in 3 days -- nm

Three days then said ....
[][]
No - but did get let go after a few days
as service kept changing the way the work was being submitted and apparently I could not keep up well enough! There are just some very weird and very rude people out there - don't question yourself - sounds like they did not give you the tools to work with - the more companies/accounts I work for/with the more different they are - some companies actually believe their way is the RIGHT way and the ONLY way - don't let them get to you!! You will find a better job real quick and be glad you did!!
