YIKES
WHAT HAVE I DONE???
A friend of mine very generously recommended to a friend of hers that he hire me to do some transcription work. Cool beans, I love this work-at-home kind of stuff, especially when we've racked up like $150 in medical bills etc. in the last month, and Christmas is coming. The guy said he had six sessions from a seminar thingybob for me to transcribe, at an hour apiece. When a person gets moving along really well transcribing, it takes about three times the amount of time in the recording to do the work. So, eighteen hours of work, at a decent rate of pay, done by Monday, it's an adventure! Which pays! right?
Except he has ELEVEN sessions to be done Monday. Not so much an adventure anymore. More of a hands-falling-off wishing-for-death caffeine-mainlining carpal tunnel marathon. Which still, heck, pays well, right? So goodbye, cruel world; this is my last foray into recreational computer use until I come out on The Other Side. Hands intact or not.
