These are really tough times, and I don't know how people make ends meet. My sister is facing a similar dilemma, although she is four years away from being able to collect social security. <br /><br />I wish I had answers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877731088554997649.post-46026872108128587662011-10-24T20:04:31.482-07:002011-10-24T20:04:31.482-07:00Wow, how infuriating!

Now that you have made the decision, I hope you will be able to let go of the anger as quickly as possible and move on. Anger is like a poison to creativity. although the circumstances of my life are so different, I have found that walking away from something bad is not "running away" but usually the beginning of walking toward something better. I hope that is how it will be. I'm sure you have found that the transcription work has been robbing you of the time and energy you need to create art. Maybe this event is a gift in disguise. I hope so.<br />Take care, bevbevhttp://magickcanoe.com/blog14noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877731088554997649.post-28829657837910936342011-10-23T15:23:50.429-07:002011-10-23T15:23:50.429-07:00Yes, Loren.

Time for art and a new direction, but with anger wearing at me, too. <br /><br />There was a time some years ago when transcriptionists were approached by SEIU (Service Employees International Union) at the hospital where I worked. At that time, we were paid well and had excellent benefits and didn't think that we needed a union. Time has proved us wrong.amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212213177713917828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877731088554997649.post-57423327884289976542011-10-23T10:12:21.342-07:002011-10-23T10:12:21.342-07:00I've been raving about much of this on Faceboo...I've been raving about much of this on Facebook but been sparing my Blog readers. Although I'm insulated from this because I'm retired, the anger it invokes wears at me. <br /><br />It's pretty clear that without the power of unions behind workers that companies will continue to maximize profit for owners and managers at the expense of individuals.<br /><br />Take care of yourself.
