A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
Got the car fixed - several things wrong with it - so hopefully fingers crossed it will make it through the winter. The whole winter. And there's another car here, so if worse came to worst, I could take that.
Moral of the story - a big stress is when "worse comes to worst" is on the horizon, and you have to live with that possibility day in and day out. So one aspect of that is gone.
Bought a nice velveteen-ish jacket at Salvation Army - eight dollars - it is pitiful when you get to the point that you think, "EIGHT DOLLARS, gosh that's a lot of money, I can't afford THAT" - ridiculous, I bought the jacket.
And then yesterday before going to work, I put on a little BLUE mascara - which I have probably not done since junior high. But I really don't like my job all that much - it's a thousand times better than medical transcription, but yeah, it's true, I just wanna work on my novel and my poetry and my painting. It's true. I don't care. I'm a hard worker, whatever I'm doing. I'm not a lazy artist. It feels good to realize that. So I wear a little blue eyeshadow to my job-I-don't-really-want, it's almost like I'm getting ready for a date - I can experience that, even if I am older and just going to a dumb a job I don't really want all that much.
So just an update, more reasons WHY getting out of MT-ing might be the right choice for you. There's so much more out there - breathe the air and feel like a human being. Yeah, it's good.
