I was reading a book last night and one of the characters in it was doing medical transcription work from home. I thought wow, that would be a great idea! It was never that I didn’t want to work, but when you’re stuck at home you are rather limited. So I decided to check into training and requested information. They not only emailed me, but they also called and left a message barely an hour later to call their toll-free number to discuss enrollment. Is that a little too soon to be calling, though? I mean, their site at least looks legitimate. It seems to be an online college that offers all kinds of courses. Even if I didn’t work full-time, I would absolutely love to do something like this! You have to get your own equipment, of course, like pedals and all that. Well, I will be getting a new computer soon to start with that will be a lot faster than this aging thing.

I want this. I really do! The question is, am I really smart enough to do it? Also, can I really get enough work? I don’t need to work 8 hours a day, but I don’t want to do just 1 or 2 jobs a month either. So I’m a little hesitant to spend hundreds of dollars on something that has no guarantee. But I am teachable and would think that if I could learn words in other languages, then I could learn medical terms. It’s not something that’s going to happen overnight if it does, but together we’ll look into it this weekend when we have more time. I’m just afraid to get my hopes up too much because I know people rarely get to do what they want, especially me. Would I really have this sleep disorder in the first place if I was meant to make money?

Definitely looking forward to that new computer, but we want to wait and take advantage of whatever deals they may have on Cyber Monday. Macs have definitely changed for the worse over the years. I hate that Apple got rid of iTunes. Why would you get rid of such a handy app that so many people love? I guess, as Tom says, Apple is mostly focused on their stupid iPhones now. Aside from the pixels and battery life, those are such an overpriced waste of money.

The fourth plane I’ve heard in less than half an hour. It’s just after 11 p.m. so hopefully they can shut the fuck up so I can get a few hours of peace before they start right back up again. Oh, and here goes someone blasting their stereo around our house and down the street to one of the houses that sold about a year ago. Never would have expected this shit in a retirement community. Ever.
