My day job is unbelievably busy at the moment - I have never seen so many doctors dictating at the one time. Work is piling up way quicker than the medical transcriptionists can type - it seems that for every 2 files we complete, another 20 have taken their place.
I normally work from 9.00 am to 4.00 pm with only a 5-10 minute break here and there during the day - I don't eat lunch, so I don't see much point in stopping for an hour or so, so I'm usually typing pretty much continuously the whole day. Today however I started at 8.20 am and am only now, at 6.00 pm, taking a long break, 30 minutes or so, for dinner and then I'll be getting back to work. The upside to all this extra work is the extra money, however, the downside to that is that my beadmaking time is going to be seriously curtailed - I've agreed to work both Saturday and Sunday to help clear the backlog of reports. Just in case you've ever thought that working from home isn't really "working", I'm here to tell you I've never worked so hard!
Anyhoo, I guess what I'm trying to say is that there'll probably be no new beads out of me now until around 17 February. I really can't see myself firing up the torch in the next week or so, at least not until the medical transcription work is under control.
Well, time for me to grab a quick bite to eat before heading back to work. I might go have to grab some paracetamol too - all this typing is not helping the arthritis in my neck - I can feel the pain in my neck starting, and a debilitating headache is sure to follow.
Hope you're taking it a little easier - be back with more beads as soon as I get things under control!
