Want to go here on vacation? - old and burned out

Been off for a week and I am having a heck of a time trying to convince myself to sit back in this chair and do it again. I keep trying the 'ol "at least it's a job speech," but I sure don't want to do this after being gone for a week. That is sad because I used to like what I do. Now it is worse than sitting in the dentist's chair having teeth pulled - at least that is temporary and you get to get up after an hour or two. But I did miss you guys and am gla ...

I've been in this business for 30 years, but am under employed at the moment and am starting to get bored to tears with having so little work to do. But, it seems that all of the ads that I see are looking for full time transcriptionists. Surely there must be some companies or MTSOs somewhere who would need an MT to help with part time or per diem work, to help with vacation coverage or maybe for temporary work just to help clear up an occasional back log and such. But, d ...

I was wondering how it's done. I have two days a year when I'm not available to work because of a family reunion. Since most of the fun doesn't start until after 12 but we have to be there very early because of the committees we're on, I hate to waste that time doing nothing when I could be working. My company does not allow satellite. Is this the only way it can be done? If not, what are the required items besides a laptop? Thanks in advance ...

I am probably just jealous, but I find it hard to be happy for them taking these luxurious vacations when on my wages I am lucky to go to Price Chopper and WalMart.

Wondering if anyone has been able to use vacation time yet? Been so long since I heard anything. Supposed to be a "benefit" from the Service Contract Act. ...

Let me get this right: 1. We are 8 business days from the beginning of crazy work. 2. We are out of TAT a lot now, client unhappy. 3. You want us to widdle down our saved time off to just 2 days; there are 30 biz days left to end of year. 4. You want roll-over time (only up to 16 hours) to be used by 03/31/2015. 5. Many of us are plannning vacations, thus coverage for pissed off acounts will be even less. 6. Many of us are very very concerned with any mergers/buy-out. NEVER, in my work his ...

How do you handle this??? I have a few clients that don't tell me when they will not be in the office and then right before they go away everything becomes a STAT. How can I make them understand that without them being there I am losing time and money and that if I knew I could have made alternate plans. Any advice would be great! Cathy ...

Just great. Even though it says on their little line count thing that I do 488 lines per hour, benefit rate goes down $3.00 an hour. I didn't do that many before so what gives MM? ...
