Working From Home Gives You Variety

Posted on by

As I just said, I have been pleasantly surprised that working from home this go-’round has actually gone really well. I am able to be a hermit when I don’t feel like being nice, which is Really Nice Benefit Number One, and Really Nice Benefit Number Two is the variety of the work that I do. Since I have come home to work, I have blogged (here, of course, and then I also have a personal blog that deals with politics – see my bio for more info.) I have also written copy for websites, edited sales letters, done lots … Continue reading →

Posted on by

Okay, so I’m not nearly as funny as I think I am, but despite that horrible headline I just wrote, I do hope y’all get something out of this blog. I wanted to write today because I’ve been thinking lately about my choice back in March to come back home to go to work.

Last time I had worked from home, it was as a transcriptionist, and because I didn’t like transcribing, I … Continue reading →

I know that I said that the medical transcription series was done, but I started to think about it, and I realized that I never wrote any blogs about how to deal with children while working as a transcriptionist. We did talk about how most of the medical transcription work done in America is done at home, and did cover the flexibility and the types of … Continue reading →

Why do You Want to Become a Medical Transcriptionist? Part Two

Posted on by

This blog is part of a series on transcription. If you haven’t read the other blogs in this series, make sure to check out the summary page for a listing of all transcription blogs.
