You're right Ed. I don't like it when I have to change to a new short
cut program. If I ever have to work without any expansion program or
macro use, my alternate career choice of flipping burgers will no longer
be my "having a bad day" joke. I used to love my "career", the family
thought I'd never retire and they would have to pry me away from my
desk... bury me with my keyboard... now it's a "job"... it's being
downgraded real fast. Not sure if it's burnout, sick of the winter/cold
already, or if the industry really has just steadily gone straight to
hell and I'm sick of its effects on MTs.

I wonder what the average time is for MT burnout? Some of you folks
have been doing this work for far longer than I, and I just cringe when
I hear people say they've been transcriptionists for 30+ years. Maybe I
just can't find the right nitch for me. Please don't everyone tell me
to be my own boss, run my own service... been there, done that, and at
this point in my life I don't want to go back. Brenda
