Relax - it is a phase and really doesn't mean anything.
My daughter is her own person and does not care to fit into a crowd. She just started wearing jeans this year - was always in sweat pants and a sweat shirt - the athletic type. So, it is good for her to not want to be in "the in crowd" so to speak. Black is okay as long it is not that "gothic look" as what the kids call it!
Beginning phase of Atkins - it's in his book. nm

In the newborn phase, piece of cake (sm)
It's when they get mobile is when the going gets tough. I had to have my sister babysit while I had some serious deadlines to hit. I couldn't do it with a mobile toddler running around. Sometimes I tried to split my shift and working some through the night, but that didn't last long because I needed sleep and very well couldn't sleep with a baby in the house, during the daytime, that is.
Go National for Experience only. They are a stepping stone to the next phase. nm
passing through -
I say go for it passing through! There are men willing to pay $$$ for MIL* cam ladies! :)
I know what you mean Hayseed. Sometimes I get out and am driving and suddenly remember there is a whole world outisde my apartment! :)
Thanks for passing that on.
passing along a recommendation
My husband learned from an associate of a program called Ewido, that is supposed to beat the pants off all other spyware products. I tried it against others on my system: Spy Sweeper, Spy Bot, and Spy Blaster. Ran all three first and then put Ewido through the paces. Ewido still found 7 more infected areas before it removed them.
You can try the product for free before you purchase it ($30). For anyone who is interested: http://www.ewido.net/en/
I tried to get an MT job but even with passing the test
I had some real problems. I could not keep up with the volume. I had no one to help me with new words or even how to reasearch them. I sent stuff to QA but no one at QA ever told me what I was doing wrong so I ended up making many mistakes over and over again. Even though I had excellent training, I did not know how to run the software the company uesd and many other details. I failed miserably. My best friend however did take an internship and it was at 3 cents per line. It was a very nice MT service owner who basicallyu took her under wing and she learned tons of stuff. The lady worked with her and taught her a bunch of things that I wished I could have learned to stay alive in the field. She also got raises every few months so at the end of ayear and a half she was making 5.5 cents and had great production because she knew the dictators so well. By the time her two yeras is up, she will have the two years experience and be able to choose any job she can. So I guess I wish I could have had a chancd like that. I am still looking for the place that will hire me.
thx for passing that on--awesome! (nm)

No, just passing on information
I wish I had a way to find out if Needsomeone2listen is following up on these.
It feels like life is passing me by sometimes. All alone here. I
I just joined a gym. Where are MTs who quit the smokes? I just did too! I want to sail into my 50s without knowing what it likes to have chest pain! I have had it with my fat jiggly arms. I'm going to start living cuz if feels like this is the opposite of it.
Oh dear, I vented. Sorry!! Just had to say that to someone! Thanks for being an ear :o)
Passing through may have the wrong place...
I have been there for several months now and never been paid late. The quality of the work I have been assigned is excellent, no ESL and no hassel about working for a line count instead of hours. The benefits are acceptable. I did have one friend who they hired who seemed to have not good luck with their program and she had to quit. Overall I would give them a 4 on a scale of 1 to 5 and expect to be with them until something better comes along.
I don't care either way. I'm not passing judgment.
I don't care who's gay or who reads the Bible. I'm not preaching or Bible-thumping, as your dander up implies that I am evidently. I just thought it silly that the other poster said a man married another man so as not to live in sin when the Bible states that homosexuality is a sin. It's not a debate or a judgment call. Stop taking it personally and see the humor in the other post. It's ironic. Geez, make an observation and get an invitation to debate religion. No, thanks!
Makes me wonder how the MTs in India are passing.
Do they get *minority* points!?! LOL.
Long time passing..nm

Extremely welcome, Anon. Just passing it on like much came from others. nm

I have several years experience and do okay passing tests....
Sometimes it just feels like I get passed up for jobs because I have no schooling.
Sort of like passing your driving test and knowing. . .
That you'll never have to take it again!
Well, at least until you're 80. 
Yes, I work 80-90 hours a week. I am going to stop because life is passing me by and it has caused
depression. There is no way mentally or physically you can keep up the pace. It is finally getting to me and I now realize there are more important things in life than work. I have been a workaholic all of my life. It started as an escape to a bad marriage but I ended up missing my kids grow up, I've lost friends because I have no time for them, and this is my last chance with an 8-year-old child left at home to get it right and put my family first. It means giving up a lot of "material things" but what do they matter when all you need is the love of your family. I'd never recommend this to anyone.
