Tiny statements from a tiny mind.
We are trying to figure out how to get out of this screwy place without being screwed any more.
Black widows are shiny black, females have red spot
There aren't many males around. After the mate, the females eat them lol.
We have black widows galore here in Calif. I actually keep frogs in my yard (provide ponds for them) and they have made a big impact on the insect population.
Remember to always wear shoes (something I try to do).
IV caffeine!! (sm)
It might take a little while for your body clock to get used to working nights, but eventually it will switch.
It actually happened to me the same way as you. My air conditioning broke and out of pure necessity I switched over to nights. This was before scheduling was requested, so I basically started working when the sun went down for as long as I could.
Five years later and with a/c I made many attempts to try to get back on a "day" schedule to no avail. When they started asking for schedules, I just decided to go with nights. Why fight it?
Tips? Hmmm... At first I'd take little cat naps at my desk when I felt like I couldn't keep my eyes open and that worked pretty well.
If I feel myself getting drowsy, I walk around a bit.
I keep the TV on (no sound) and it seems like just glancing at it every once in a while helps the time go more quickly. Don't ask me why. At 3:30 a.m. I watch game show network (What's My Line). It helps to perk me up because it's so cool to see the B&W oldies. After it's over, I only have about 3 hours left which goes pretty quickly.
Be sure you do sleep long enough when you go to bed in the morning and at first try to take a 45-minute nap about an hour or 2 before you sign on at night.
Another thing that helps me now is that it's summer and my daughter stays up all night too. It helps to know I'm not the only one conscious in the house (less lonely?). She doesn't bother me or anything, but it's nice I can hear her music or visit her if I need a break.
Okay, this break is up! LOL.
Good luck!
No, not anything but caffeine
I don't even take my B vitamins because even they are known to make me tired! Even when I take a migraine relief capsule I get tired. Does the 45 minute nap give you the second wind? Maybe I could try that instead of struggling. Sometimes I think the coffee makes me even more tired. Tonight I am trying water and it is working a bit better. I am going to try opening a window. Afraid the radio or TV would wake up the family even though I am in another room! Thanks for your help.
Does green tea have caffeine? nm

None. I try to avoid caffeine.

Caffeine is addictive and...
I finally got off of caffeine. I had a hard several days with horrible headaches and just almost feeling hung over. I know I was having caffeine withdrawls, but I stopped drinking it because of having thyroid issues and having PVCs. I will tell you this... Just because you think you shouldn't be tired because you sit all day and type and do reports, does not mean you can't experience extreme fatigue in doing so. I worked in a casino for 13 years and did nothing but stand and walk. I made the transition to strictly working from home a year ago, and I really believe this work makes me more tired than the casino ever did. I find it is hard for me to focus sometimes as well while working. I find my mind wonders and focuses on things I need to be doing besides transcribing and it is very irritating. I know how you feel little lady. :)

caffeine motivation
ok I feel sooo unmotivated to work even when I am right in front of my computer. I am just off task, thinking about other things. I lack the focus and brain energy to type. When I drink strong coffee or energy drinks, I am way more focused and productive. I enjoy typing and get lots done when I have been using caffeine. What is going on here?
Caffeine is also highly addictive
I love the stuff!!!! Caffeine doesn't necessarily make you feel better, though, it just makes you feel less bad. That's something I read somewhere that always struck a chord with me. I'm not fit to speak to until I've had at least a hit of caffeine in the morning and don't even start on the headaches I'll get if for some reason I go a day or two without it.
Do you take vitamins on a regular basis? Despite the so called research that says that vitamins don't really do that much, I have found that if I go for several days without taking my supplements then I get really draggy and have a horrible time focusing. If I remember to take them, then I do pretty well and have a much easier time focusing and getting work done.
Unlike right now when I should get started working and am playing on this board. 
Doc says to cut out caffeine completely- and I hate the Decaf. nm

Energy drinks. Caffeine and sugar, sm
and all kinds of vitamins. I like the Sobe one. I even drink it in the morning now, instead of coffee.
Caffeine and sugar had negative effect
My experience with trying to remain alert during 3rd shift: I was trying to perk myself up with caffeine and sugar, but also found that I actually became MORE tired as a result. Apparently, there's a biochemical explanation for this, due to the effect of caffeine and sugar on my insulin/blood sugar response. Both caffeine and sugar cause an initial rise in blood sugar, but then a serious slump in blood sugar occurs, causing me to be even more tired than before. So, I gave up the coffee and, after 3 days of withdrawal symptoms with horrendous headaches and fatigue, am having much more success staying awake during 3rd shift. I have also found that a protein drink or snack is a much better solution. Also, I am told that there are stimulants that do not affect the central nervous system as caffeine does, such as guarana, which I have not tried yet.
Also, it took me at least six weeks to adjust my body clock. I figured out that I had to sleep at the same time every day for several hours, at least 7, and couldn't just take a few naps during the day and then expect to stay awake at night.
The only reason I choose to work at night is because the pay is better; otherwise, I wouldn't do it. I look forward to someday having a decent account with a decent pay with a 24-hour turnaround time. I realize this is a fantasy.
tiny font
Something is wrong here. It sounds like this board shows up in huge font on YOUR end, but it is about an 8 font on my computer. The main board, job seeker's board, and compary board show up tiny for me, but the other boards look about 12-14 font, which is MUCH better!
I have that setup and may have tiny lag...
but its only a bit more than I had using wav pedal without Vonage. I do find the C-phone pedal to be a different cat from my wav pedal, though, and not very fond of it! Mine has gone psycho a few times and does its own thing, totally unresponsive to controls. As they aren't too expensive I may just replace it at some point with another used one and see what happens. If your C-phone is not new, you might cosider replacing the pedal to see if that helps. I have been told the pin-plug setup is very sensitive and easy to disrupt. Good luck!
What about those of us with tiny apts. - sm
either 1-bedroom or studio? On what we make, that's often all we can afford. If they want me to have a separate room or screened-off area for my workstation, they're gonna have to:
"SHOW ME THE MONEY"! (Or else do they mean I have to turn my tiny, 5-foot x 6 foot bathroom into a home office? I supposed I could fit a tiny little desk and a laptop in front of the toilet, and then sit on that to do my work.........
Sounds like tiny penis but not..lol
its not tinnitus, I have tried spelling tiniapitas
this has something to do with frostbite cold weather, HELP ANYONE
Stay tuned Tiny. It gets better.
My vet is teeny tiny. When she got pregnant with her last
baby she gained 60 pounds. She probably weighs 98 soaking wet. Anyway, her doctors put her on either Relacore or Cortislim and she lost the weight. I have an overweight dog due to a disease and she said they are testing these drugs in dogs to see if it will help so I think there is some basis for it. I took a drug similar that is supposed to block cortisol (can't remember the name, but it was cheaper) and it did help with my belly fat and soon I had to get new jeans because the ones I had I had a handful of material on each side of stomach that hung down in my crotch area and it was very uncomfortable. I even tripped once because I tried to step up over a low stone wall and there was so much extra material it constricted my leg movement and I wasn't able to lift my leg high enough.
I am an emotional eater but I don't have problems with an overactive appetite, meaning I'm not ravenous all the time, never have been.
I've just heard a tiny bit, but...sm
apparently Fusion also offers a transcription platform. I was just trying to see if there might be some comments on that. I appreciate your response.
The font is very tiny for me. It never used to be this way. It suddenly occurred and nothing I do

I used it but it tended to "junk me up" so I took only a tiny dose...sm
for sleep, trazodone is better. It's an old antidepressant that's not really good for anything other than putting you out. However, if you need to wake up in the middle of the night (small children, etc.) you can pop right out of sleep and it doesn't have the hangover effect like benadryl or Xanax. So maybe ask about trying that. And I know, maybe I spelled trazodone wrong but I don't have my spellchecker on this board LOL!
After 15 years of being treated for depression on and off, and severe anxiety, I finally found a wonderful therapist. He got me out of a chronic low grade depression without any antidepressants AT ALL which I would have bet could not be done. So maybe think of that, too?
one of mine is tiny - nearly died from renal
failure last year - and in the process of trying to get weight on him and leaving food down his brother is up to a whopping 17 pounds now - he would give me lower extremity circulation problems!!
The tiny lettering was difficult for me to see and no pictures! LOL sm
I'm kidding about the pictures.
Do you think its handier to have the book on your desk or the program at the click of a mouse? Thanks for your reply!
My cat veterinarian authorized us to use cat Frontline on our 5-pound tiny toy poodle
She said it goes by size and he's the size of a small cat.
I have IE set to display text size as largest, yet this font is so tiny I can barely see it.

Most men can't hear the tiny tings, noises that cars make, and things like
an alarm clock. A doctor I used to work for did the same thing in the bathroom too. But, I never heard a plop! Thank Goodness.
I was joking, cause the poster I responded to made a HUGE typo in a tiny sentence!
would like to believe, MYSELF included! Lighten up!
She's tiny, cute, rich, famous, drug free, and a great singer.
Oh, what a horrible person! (sarcasm)
Black lab here too,
She looks black to me.

She LOOKS black...
But so does OJ Simpson, Michael Jackson (well, not since he bleached his skin)...
Where is Black, MO?
I'm a Missourian too!
black widows
LOL, a creature of the underworld? I sure hope you are kidding. A black widow, as all spiders, are very much needed. They eat other bugs. Most spiders are harmless and black widows do not stray from their web very far. You can put a black widow in your hand and it will not bite you unless you pushed its head down on your hand.
Black at wedding
Black is stylish and I love it. I would suggest not wearing black stockings, etc. Do you have any bright colors you could add such as a cloth rose (very stylish)or some bright jewelry to offset the black. Try a thrift store for a bright bag or shoes. I just did that and found a pretty pink bag with black trim for a couple of dollars. That should offset the black. Just try not to go "totally black" but if you have to, so be it. Just wear a "smile" and have a great time! Life is temporary, enjoy it.

Hi - If you would care to email me personally I would be happy to speak with you. We strive to follow through on everything, and we know the importance of experienced MTs so we do try to make them happy with the account/accounts they are working on. Please feel free to email me.
Thanks.

dressing in black
Don't worry about it. My sister wore black for 15 years when she was teenager and throughout her 20s; one of my nieces starting wearing black when she was in junior high. The niece is an RN and neither of them has ever done anything weird or satanic in their lives.
Some people love black - personally, I avoid it like the plaque, don't even buy black shoes or purses.

Buy Nothing Day (Black Friday)
movement started in the Pacific Northwest, so I celebrate Buy Nothing Day by buying nothing.
My mom used to do that (1970s) with a black wig - sm
She would wear it a lot when my parents went out. She also had a fall of long black hair. I have them both now, though I don't use them, keeping them more for sentimental reasons now.

I believe cottonmouths are black, though not sure on that - sm
and copperheads have a distinct head as do most poisonous snakes (triangular/diamond shape). Copperhead bite is not fatal by any means and usually not even treated with any antivenom....dogs around here just get treated with antibiotics. Cottonmouths are very aggressive and from the sounds of it, it is not cottonmouth.
Black character......
means any black mark (typed character) seen on the page. Sneaky way of saying you are not being paid for spaces - which just boggles my mind..........
Obviously you're black, right? LOL
So the criers should shutup too, then, right? Just let people get away with whatever they want and don't call them out for fear or stifling their "right" to freedom of speech when they spew hate. Sure, and I was born yesterday and race is not an issue in America. Wake up, it's alive and well, as we can see on this board. How sad this rears it's ugly head here. Surprised, nope.
She probably would not even know black strap as in
molasses, she is from the ghetto and lack of education, as she cannot even spell her children's names…she says words like skrimps for shrimp, a funeral comes out fumeral, oh no just being on the edge of borderline competency.
