Yes, blessed, but that doesn't mean you have to be stomped on

and treated unfairly. A person can understand and acknowledge that they are blessed by having their job, etc., but that doesn't mean that when situations become unbearable that they can't stand up for themselves. No one said they didn't want truth. The definition of truth is honesty, not nasty comments, verbal abuse, calling a person "manipulative", telling her she has "no right to complain", belittling her feelings, concerns, telling her that her feelings don't matter, calling people's opinions "absurd", all of these are quotes from posts and none of that is TRUTH. One person even posted she should "stop griping". She has a right to do so. Yes, you have a right to your opinion, but you don't have a right to belittle her feelings and thoughts and talk to her like she is trash. Someone comes for advice and encouragement and you treat them like dirt? The definition of truth is honesty, "sincerity in action, character, and utterance". The only truth we have seen from this thread is the truth that some of you have not one ounce of good character. Opinion does not always equal truth. If any of you have children, I hope that you don't teach them to talk to other in this manner. What a disgrace!

God has blessed me greatly too!!
Congratulations on being so blessed.
I work for a national. I don't make $35 an hour, but that's okay, too. I pretty much enjoy my job, I love being at home, have a good supervisor and feel blessed to be able to choose to work from home. I am glad for you, though, and wish you the best.
I could not have been blessed with a more wonderful
father. He is a good, loving, Christian man. Worked hard all his life to take of his wife and 3 daughters. He is now 80 years old and I can still call on him whenever I need him. I live across the street from my parents and have sort of become the "parent" now in that I watch out for them and they, in turn, watch out for me. I am so blessed. 
If you were "privileged and blessed" ...sm
I certainly envy you....you're 1 in a million. Most would not feel that way. This is just too tough a question as there are so many variables. I know my decision is coming soon, and I just hope I make the one I can live with. I actually bought a house with 2 living areas with that in mind but.....as the time approaches and she becomes more and more obstinate and difficult to handle, it's a very scary thought. I just pray she goes in her sleep still healthy.
Consider yourself very blessed to be making
8 cpl and only an MT since January. I have been an MT for about 7-1/2 years and working for the same well-known national company for 6 and still only make 8 cpl. I have taken on a part-time job in a completely different field to make extra money and am even contemplating making the other job fulltime and working even less than I do now the national. I don't know of any what to increase your earnings as an MT. 
I agree - blessed
I agree with the positives. I too make awesome money (3-4K) per month and besides that have been able to watch my children grow up and be here when they get home from school. It is less stressful on our family life and allows more time to spend with my husband at night. I too do not have to buy clothing, minus the jeans to go into the office to pick up work, and do not have to worry about when the kids are sick, can still work, etc. It has been an extreme blessing in my life, and I will do it as long as possible.
I don't think there are many jobs where you can make great income, have flexible scheduling, wear jeans to work or work in pajamas, and make dinner all in the "regular work day." Not to mention I type outside in the summer by the pool, great idea!!!! Makes for a nice office!!!
Blessed in many ways here as well.
If we sit back and count the many good things that have come I would have to agree they far outweight the "bad" things. My kids were off all this week from school. I went to pick-up work and the office manager says to me "Your children are off all week from school?" I said, "Yes due to the holiday on Monday and then conferences all week." She says, "Well I guess that's okay for you since you DON'T WORK" as she's handing me a stack of "work". She goes on to say "But what about all of the other mother's who have to work?" What do they do for daycare?" I said, "Well, I guess it puts those mother's in a very tight spot?" Hmmmmm..... Funny the perceptions people have of us work-at-home transcriptionists. It is almost like if you do it from home it cannot possibly be work. Let it be known that I love what I do, but I still consider it very much contributing to society. By the way, thanks to your sister that factory stays doing what it should be doing, and thank your sister for ME personally for putting in the time and showing that she cares by going to work each and every day no matter how tired she gets! Thank you for sharing....
You are blessed, for sure! Enjoy it! nm

Count yourself blessed....sm
A long time ago, before I ever started with national companies, I could have written your post almost word for word. I felt that I "needed" to go with a national company because it seemed to be the thing to do. If what you are doing works for you, then by all means keep on keepin' on. You are one of the fortunate ones who likely will not be affected by all the new "technological advances" that MT has made.
You are blessed. Congrats to you and hubby

I was blessed with long lean....
muscular legs, which I still have, even at 45. I can sit cross-legged like a kindergartner listening to a story, BUT, lately I can't get up without hobbling around like a newborn horse for 5 minutes. It's like this horrid painful stiffness. What the heck is it?
and a bountiful blessed Thanksgiving to YOU as well. nm

Wow..you guys are blessed beyond belief! nm

Those who are so insecure that they make things up are not blessed, however.

Sure - let's take a look at some of the many benefits that illegal aliens have blessed us with, s
Street gangs, graffitti, drugs, skyrocketing healthcare, depreciation of property value, welfare fraud, illiteracy. The list could go on. What they actually have to offer (cheap labor) pales to what they have given our country to deal with. I'll take expensive vegetables over expensive healthcare any day!
If you really look at it, Proverbs 31, that woman was blessed and amazing. She sm
did it ALL! She considered a field and bought it (on her own), she provided jobs, food, clothing for her maidservants, she was found at the markets early in the morning *(buying food and things for the home, I suppose). To me, this chapter tells me that as women we can do it all if we put our mind to it and that God expects a lot from us. I think about her "buying" the field to plant her harvest (no mention of husband/male whatsoever) and that helps me know God's will for my life with regard to work and homemaking, taking care of the children.
She was considered blessed. If we took better care of our bodies then we would have the amount of energy this woman had.
I turn on the news and realize that I am safe and blessed.

Merry Christmas RadGuy!!! And to ALL of you have a WONDERFUL & BLESSED holiday!!
Wow. After reading all of these sad situations and posts I actually feel pretty blessed. I did sm
Have my car repoed about 8 years ago and it was the most embarrassing moment of my life. I've since come out of a rut with me working and having a husband who works FT. We are blessed. We have definitely struggled with our bank acct. being overdrawn to the tune of 700.00 before, but we luckily came out of that and it only happened once. To everyone who is in a dire situation, may you find grace and peace in God. Believe in miracles. Don't give up. Good luck to you and I mean that in all sincerity.
Why are YOU attacking HER? Just because she doesn't want kids, doesn't mean she needs a psychi

RADICALLY OBEDIENT, RADICALLY BLESSED!!!!!!

"God can use empty places in your life to draw your heart to Him. He is the great love of your life who will never disapoint. He is building your eternal home that will never get broken, dirty, or need redecorating!"

"Hold on to me and what I say about you. For my words are the truth of who you are and the essence of what you were created to be. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free."
Does MQ really seem like they want MTs? It doesn't seem like it
When you make something so complicated, difficult, cumbersome, and frustrating, that sends me the message they aren't really wanting to be in the business. As far as I'm concerned, they have sent me a signal they don't want me to work for them. Wonder who they sent those surveys to.
What? DQS doesn't use
What the heck are you talking about? They are getting ready to put PRD on my machine. Why would they do that if we can't use word expanders?
Just because I am an MT doesn't mean that
transcription. If that's all you have in your life I feel sorry for you. You're a miserable hateful human being and people like you are the reason I started working at home in the first place.
Try to have a nice day.
She probably doesn't know how to use it.

5 OUT OF 10 to me is 50%, doesn't

No she doesn't......
She sounds like someone who's telling it exactly like it IS and knows what it's all about. Things are and have been rapidly changing in our industry and all other industries, for that matter, my dear. There ain't no free lunch any longer....SURPRISE!! Better get with it or you WILL be left out. Not a threat, just facts.................You can take it or leave it, but you'd be wise to take it.....from one sistah to another....
Well said. Like you said, it doesn't
majority of people have had alcohol in their past. People who are more prone to being alcoholics will likely become addicted before they even realize what happened. There is also a component of denial before you admit to the problem. I am not saying everyone that comes from a family with problems will become an addict with something, whether it is food, drugs, alcohol, etc., but it does play a role; and to dismiss that fact, is only being judgmental. "You have a problem; well you created it, bottom line." I think that if you know there is a tendency in your family, you can take measures to stay away from addictions; but sometimes bad stuff just happens to good people. I think we all might have a few problems we aren't exactly proud of. And for someone who overeats and is obese, it is no different than someone who is an alcoholic. I am not talking about people who have medical conditions either that might cause them to be obese, so don't start getting upset people.
I have a huge family history of alcoholics and mental disorders. I myself have some chemical imbalances and have been diagnosed with anxiety disorder and OCD. I recognize that and take measures to be able to live the healthiest life I can.
that doesn't mean we can do anything about it
anyone not getting paid should contact their company and the bank
This was all before 9/11 (which doesn't
excuse Clinton by any means), but has anyone noticed that these outsourced jobs are going into the back yards of Afghanistan and Pakistan? Don't any American officials worry about the potential danger to Americans associated with that?
One does, one doesn't.........
Our Super Center asks to see receipt for big items not in a bag, but our small store across town does not. Our Sams Club has a person that looks at the receipt as you're exiting the store. Every item has to be accounted for that is on that receipt. Also, none of the items are bagged at Sams.
I don't know why my DH doesn't get that!?!
IF MAMA AIN'T HAPPY, AIN'T NOBODY HAPPY. I mean this is common sense! HELLO! :D

Doesn't everything? jk

Well...I'm sure he doesn't
like me very much. But, I'm not really concerned with that to be honest with you. He wasn't a very nice person to begin with, and when I tried to be friendly and in a nice manner ask him to please not play his music so loudly so late at night, he basically ignored my requests. I am not a mean person and don't want to cause trouble for anyone, but I felt I needed to do to do something in that situation to make sure that my son and I could get a decent nights sleep. The police cannot tell the person who called them. But I'm sure he probably knew it was me because I had asked him to turn down his music already. He has never confronted me about it though. We just live our separate lives in peace and quiet. :-)
To me, it doesn't.....
I agree. I just wish the pay matched that thought, as I'm sure the street sweepers do. LOL
I'm in my 50s and it doesn't get better *LOL*.nm
Well, actually it doesn't mean a . . .
heck of a lot in the "real" world. If it gives someone satisfaction to get either the RMT or CMT, good for them. However, I would never consider it a real credential. Now R.N., M.D. or even EMT MEAN something and people recognize those. RMT? Registered massage therapist is what that stands for to most people.
Personally, I think the majority of those taking the beta test (at a whopping $90 a pop) are newbies to the field, misled by their online school.
I would love to see the AMA step in and take over all MT issues...now there would be some BIG clout, and some real credibiltiy, if they were in charge.
Again, it doesn't have to be that way...
Not all companies are all about paying next to nothing and neither are the doctors. If we as MTs refused to visit a physician if they offshored their back office work and convinced one family member or friend to do the same, believe me, that would certainly get some attention.
An organization for the MTs would basically give us what the AAMT won't. Who is going to have better resources than fellow working MTs? Who is going to know who the better employers are? Who is going to be able to bring up an important issue and try to really make a difference with it? I sure hope we aren't going to rely on AAMT for that.
We are in a global marketplace, but that doesn't mean we are out of the ballgame. We need to make US practitioners understand the advantages of having US-based services especially in this field. Besides that, we certainly don't have much left to lose. If we all just took a little time and made a little effort, things might start to turn around. If they don't, at least we gave it a go.
Why come here to ask...who doesn't know..
to live conservatively and QUIT! If you are married or in a relationship with the other person contributing financially, why bother keeping your job? Maybe someone less fortunate than you needs it. This is something to discuss with a financial planner and your family.
I have one like that, but he doesn't
He says - "oh my, oh dear, oh my, oh dear" I actually have to laugh. It's either that or get mad b/c he's single handedly destroying my line count. One night, I put it on speaker and left my husband listen. We seriously thought he was going to sh*t himself, he was getting so worked up over not being able to find the vital signs. Hysterical!
