So today is my first official day with absolutely no transcription work. That's right, I quit. Now before you think less of me please listen to my defense.
Number one: The pay was ridiculous for the amount of work put in each day. In all of my jobs I have never done so much actual work for so little pay. I'm telling you, a desk job is the way to go. Eight hours of pay for probably about 4 hours of actual working.
Number two: I was a grouchy miserable beast because of my lack of sleep. I would stay up late most every night trying to get my work done and when I finally got to bed Maddie would wake up. She's been waking up at least three times a night for the past three or four months. Then during the day when she would nap, I couldn't nap; I had blasted transcription to get done.
and Number three: I just plain hated it. Period.
So today it's only 11:00 and I've already had Maddie play time, walked the Raheemers, put away all the laundry (my most dreaded chore above ALL others) cleaned the kitchen and ate breakfast. I can't wait until Maddie's second nap, who knows what adventure awaits me! (maybe a shower)

Good for you! I truly believe that no amount of money is worth being in shear misery.
Yea for you! Although you just got more done in your morning than I do on any given day (except when company is coming) and I home all day too! Way to show me up. I hope Nate doesn't read this! Congrats though. It is worth it if you have sanity back.
What a relief! I remember when I typed out rebates at home it was never ending. You never get away from it, never get the relax ever. I'm so happy for you!!
CONGRATS Jessie! You hide your grouchiness very well:)now we can have more play dates!?
congrats to you
Yay for you Jessie!! So totally didn't know you had a blog till I saw the link on Christies. I was like HOW MANY LEWIS'S ARE THERE! But was very happy to find yours!
yay jessie! you deserve to be happy! i loved the pics you posted on facebook. your kid truly is one of the cutest kids i've ever seen!
No judgment from me. I worked at great clips for 10 days during Christmas hoping to bring in some extra cash, but after I paid the sitter it turned out that I was making Like $3 and hour! So not worth it, plus I was working at home and I had no time for my kids or hubby so we were all super grouchy. I say good for you. I'd rather be happy and poor than rich and miserable.
