| I've been doing MT for 18 years and rarely feel burned out on it. Of
course, there are days when I feel I just CAN'T face one more dictation,
but it usually goes away when I remember how much I hate office politics
and how happy I am not to have to brave rush hour traffic, pantyhose,
etc. I really do love my job!
