I get tired of daily grind. I get tired of having
horrible dictation/dictators and not able to produce lines, which directly affects my paycheck. I don't mind doing the difficult stuff, and I pretty good at it, but it is stressful and I find it very hard to budget when you never know what your paycheck is going to be. I hate being tied to having earphones on all day. I have children at home (I homeschool and don't have toddlers running around) and my DH works third shift so he is home during the day. I try to work around all this, but can't always. If I had a "desk" job I could be part of conversations at least, but having to have the earphones on you can't do that. I get tired of being sedentary, my feet swell, my shoulders are tired, my elbows hurt, etc.
I stick with it because of my children, and also because I like the flexibility. I don't have to be up at 5:30 to get the kids up and ready for school, I don't have to fight traffic to get to work at 8:00. It is a trade-off. Sounds like you just need a break.

I live in the Ohio Valley, it's like this all the time here. A few days ago, no coats, this morning 1 inch of snow. I gave up ever switching out winter/summer clothing a long time ago.

what state are you in? I am in Texas and it was 81 here yesterday and this morning at 10 it was 28. No wonder we are all sick! But I love this cold!

I hate it too! By the way, are you in texas?

 Really nice here, a little on the warm side for me - 85 degrees in Dallas!
Texas weather
We haven't hit 100 yet, but i'm sure it is in the near future. Thank God I'm not in arizona!
Same here. The weather outside is gorgeous, though.
I have almost everything caught up around the house now. Gee, should I go clean something else or read a book outside?
During warm weather I do (sm)
but when it's cold my fingers shrink and my rings start spinning around! That's when they come off.
Thanks...and believe me...I do remember that about the weather...
My uncle says that all the time...LOL. Nice to hear a little bit of 'home'!
Thanks Patti! How's the weather in OR? I sure

Oregon weather
It is cold in the morning but dry and sunny throughout the day up to about 50. Beautiful on the river. Know that our wet weather is coming soon though. Gotta run and make deliveries.
At least you have beautiful weather most of the year. nm

How's the weather in Bangalore? usually stops them in their tracks
When a US rep of SBC called to try to get me to switch my cable service for their high-speed interent, I told them no, I don't willingly deal with companies who have all their customer service "help" offshore. She pointed out that I probaby pay more to use my local cable service. Yes, I agreed, I do pay more...and I talk to people in my community and can even go talk to them in person if I want to.
But asking how the weather is in Bangalore is a nice way to break the ice with someone at a call center in India. Weather reports are definitely not part of their scripts.
And with this awful bitter cold weather
going ballistic on the drivers when they do return!
we have had beatiful weather here in Santa Clara
funny how the weather varies depending on what part of the Bay you live in :)
Even here in NY it's beautiful today, no cold weather this week.
You know what they say, if you don't like the weather in Ky - wait 5 minutes, it'll change - i
nice to see rain and maybe they will release our water restrictions, of course, now I don't need to water my lawn but maybe washing my car would be nice.
How's the weather where U are? Pouring cats & dogs in San Francisco....
 ..... guess it's time to think about building an ARK! 
We have such gorgeous weather here today, Easter Sunday!
What about where you are?!
Yep, we live in cold climate too. Getting outdoors is a MUST in good weather.

Ok, I invite you to hop on a bicycle for 15 mile ride in below freezing weather, snow, ice, etc.

For arthritis/cold weather, I use cheap, thin, one-size-fits-all
grocery-store gloves, and just cut the fingertips out. Warm & comfy. And cheap.
definite dearth of good TV on Sunday. Hafta watch weather, sports
old and tired
maybe you need the 14 bucks an hour to pay for those conference calls. i hear the editors have to pay for them all by themselves.
Thank you Tired... :)
tired of it sm
Not asked or told to do this. Told they are "sound file reconversions" where the sound file is "fixed" and then the report goes back in the pool. Sorry don't buy it. If the sound is that bad, why do the report? Why not send it to get the sound file "fixed" at the beginning? Think its someone trying not to send something to QA. They are always the difficult dictators. Also was told that the sound file issues were resolved.
You are SO right... I get so tired of...
listening to people complain about this country.. We have it so good here that we are totally spoiled. It's shameful. If these people would take a tour around the world and then come back here and compare our medical care, they would stop this nonsense. Even in developed countries like Italy, things are a little weird. I lived there 20 yrs ago and a friend had a car accident and ended up in an Italian emergency room instead of the army hospital. The treatment? A big glass of wine while sitting in the hallway waiting forever to be seen. Forget the undeveloped countries, they barely have anything. Even in Britain their facilities are not quite what we expect here. We are spoiled.
tired
definitely feel the same way. 23 years is long enough. wish i could do something else that made this kind of money.
.......tired!
I get tired of....
being sneezed on. First of all, it hurts my ears if it is too explosive and secondly, I feel like I need a shower. Is it too hard to turn your head and/or hold the phone away from your face?
tired QA
You were "not so perfect" at one time yourself......so unless you have a masters degree, don't be so critical i.e, you have been there yourself. Beside, if it were not for mistakes or uncertainty, you would not have a job either!
Like I said - I'm tired of them not
speaking English to a point where you can at least "partly" understand. My job is to type what I hear. I'm not trying to "turn their accent into English anymore!" -- I don't get paid enough "downtime" to figure this out! -- Especially at $10/$11 an hour!!!!!
can you tell how tired I am right now
actually, I did not "do" her . . . I did do some work for her though -- and still do sometimes
Tired..
Sure understand your feelings of delight with your grandchild. I feel the same way about my 2 grandsons, and over the years have barely been able to hang onto transcription at home while providing them with everything under the sun to keep them busy while I attempted to work. They also have turned out to be very artistic and creative. They are 11 and 14 now. The main thing for me was a HUGE amount of patience and not getting stressed when they interrupted, just smile and as quickly as possible return to typing. I did "interact" with them face-to-face every 15 minutes for a couple of minutes when they were little, and it seemed to work best when I worked in the same room they were playing in. Of course, at 3 they started pre-kindergarten, so there were 3 free hours to work, then soon enough all-day school. They finally learned to not over-do the interruptions as they got older (one thing was when they understood they get to buy "toys" with the money I am mysteriously making.) I really do not think there is a "balance", I just keep trying. Also I think there is a "bit-of-a-difference" between grandparenting and parenting rules. (If we don't make our kids TOO mad at us!) We really get to do all the good stuff and joy!!
tired of this
This job does render us socially isolated unless we make real efforts to make friends and our lack of friends makes us rather vulnerable too, i.e. husband attacks and no one to come to our rescue. Your husband sounds rather immature and you seem to be in the role of his wife/mother. You certainly deserve a break. My first and only marriage ended because I was in the same situation. Now I am alone but at least I can be free from the tyranny of a man/boy so to speak. It's your call. Weigh the pros and cons and then take some action.
I'm tired of MTs who cannot SM
look up the simplest things and who leave 20 or 30 blanks in a report. When I was an MT, if I sent ONE job to QA in a month I felt like I failed, but today's MTs have no pride in their work at all.
tired
I've recently been sending applications and resumes to non-transcription companies locally. Guess what. They see on my resume that all I've done for the past 20 years is transcription, and they don't think I'm capable of anything else! It's very disheartening.
Tired of sitting
I can stand to sit for just so long and then I have to get up and move around. Sitting and pounding a keyboard makes me more exhausted than if I was doing something physical. When I am doing something physical, I feel much better and am not as cranky.
Tired of being yanked around
I have discovered that when I am zooming right along on my regular account, all of a sudden-- I'm on two or more totally different accounts, which really slows me down as I am not used to them. This especially happens to me working late at night or on weekends. I think I am the only "sucker" who is working, so the person or persons in the office take this opportunity to assign me other accounts to work on. It is SO frustrating! I need to make my line counts and this is certainly not helping! I have sent emails to the office and they claim it is to keep the TAT under control, but the accounts that I am assigned are not anywhere NEAR out of TAT. It is a "control" issue or what???
Tired of the whining and here is why.
If you check out the posts, you will see what we are talking about. MQ MTs whine about the horrible company they work for but don't leave. I am angry that the "sit back and take it" attutude they have makes all hard working MTs look bad. I for one know I am worth more than having to put up with being used like slave labor. Even if it means working two jobs, it is better than just sitting back and whining but doing nothing about your plight. And with that being said, no one is saying they should not be able to beat the dead dog amoungst themselve, they just need to take it to a blog, so we don't have to be witness to it. And btw, i DO work two MT jobs.
Tired of being at home
Does anyone else out there find they get sick of working from home? I get depressed sometimes. I do not have children yet and my husband works about 12 hours a day. I am usually by myself all the time and I have been doing this for 5 years. Got any words of encouragement or advice?
Tired of feeling ill
Anyone ever feel like this - just no energy, headache, and kind of achy for days now. Any ideas what this is caused from - maybe a virus?
Okay, I confused myself. Sorry very tired-sm
Misread something in an archived post about a doctor who stated fluctuance but was actually meaning flocculence and thought that it was pertaining to a wound. Fluctuance is definitely correct in regards to a wound and, as you stated, flocculent would pertain to something such as urine. Also, my medical dictionary is a Dorland's. Is Stedman's better?
I am doing good......went THERE......sorry tired! - nm

Tired of it-need some advice sm
Been working for 5 years at same service, have 30 years experience. A couple times a week I get reports already done by another MT, not only with a bunch of blanks, but pure garbage transcription, wrong words, not typing what the dictator dictates, putting in anything, even if it doesn't make sense, nothing that a spell check would catch. I have to redo these reports. If I have to send it to QA it counts against me. Have brought it my supervisor's attention and gotten no where, its glossed over and have heard nothing but excuses.
What burns me the most is that it seems to me that, to the service, its okay to put out this garbage. I take my time and put out good quality work at the expense of my production and it doesn't make any difference. They'd rather have someone putting out garbage and high production rather than good quality and lower production.
I'm having trouble dealing with this. My morale is really low. Guess I have to grin and bear it. Any words of wisdom to help me feel better? Thanks!
I have been worried about my job as well and tired of the pay..
I have been concerned with the MT field as well. I originally got started in this profession to be able to be at home and work when I have children. So far no kids have come along but I have found something else to do in addition to transcribing at home. Visit www.thefreshairshop.com if you are interested. :-)
I'm so tired of hearing this.
I'm so tired of hearing MT's talk about how they're slaves to their jobs.Don't you think everyone's a slave to their job in every field.Do you think MT'g is the only career path that has so called slaves.Do you think there's any career out there a person can work where they won't be a slave of some sort????? I really get tired of hearing all the MTs cry their poor pitiful me tune, I'm such a slave. Please ... get over it.
Okay, please try the elsewhere now. Tired of your stupidity here. nm

Anyone else tired of being at home?
Have been transcribing over 9 years - love the flexibility - tired of being at home alone with earphones stuck in my ears all day, sitting in a chair.
Anybody else feel this way?
Boy I can tell I am tired--- "if you are an IC" - nm
going to bed now!
Is anyone else tired of MT work?
I have only been doing MT work for a little over 6 months and I am already burned out. I am tired of typing and listening and rewinding, etc. The only part about the job I like is that it involves the medical field. Does anyone feel like this? I don't know whether to try a different area of MT (thinking maybe I am bored with the specialties I am doing) or to get out of this field and do something else. Does anyone have any ideas for other jobs where I could use my medical knowledge and not let it go to waste?
