It’s an interesting time in my life right now where things are beginning to improve.
Back in December, I looked into getting various transcription jobs. I wound up getting one company that wanted to hire me but couldn’t employ me right away and a company that hired me right away that didn’t have any work. So, I went back to writing books (with another book coming out Saturday) for a bit, and then Thursday, I got the good news.
The company that couldn’t employ me, Rev Transcriptions, did. I started work for them that night. The only problem is my transcription speed absolutely blows. I listen to a few words, type them out, listen to some more, type them out, and so on. Plus, I do not have the foot pedal yet, and doing transcribing without is like a doctor without a stethoscope.
Overall, I kept a good attitude about things, and I consider this “rough patch” I’m going through now as a “paying my dues” period. We all have to go through that, no matter where we work.
On Saturday morning, I was off to Largo with my mother to visit the grave of my father who passed away January 28, 1991. We had a discussion about what to do if either of us was ill to the point where either me or her were on life support.
I told her that if I was in a situation where I am on life support and my chances at recovery where next to nil, that I would want my life terminated. I don’t want to suffer like my dad did with his cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, and my grandparents each had Alzheimer’s.
I also want to be cremated when the time comes.
Have that talk with someone you love. It’s not like there’s a clock over your head and you get to know when your time is up. Have that talk before you can no longer have that talk.
