My sister-in-law has been after me to start doing medical transcription for her. She lives in IL and has her own business. Her younger sister does some work for her. She has decided to expand her business after being in it for the last 3 years. I started last night doing a little bit. Its going to take some time to become proficient at it. I have had some medical language training but that was years ago and it seems the medical terms change or rather there are more than when I was studying. So I will give it a try. I did a little practice last night. Diane sent the software to our computer then we couldn't get it to work because our Java program (for the sound) was so much newer than what she was using. So after her sending another software file and drivers we are good to go. She had already sent the footpedal and I already had headphones from school. It will be nice to work at home and not spend any money on gas because everything is done over the computer now. I am amazed! Wasn't like this 10 years ago.
Getting sick has put a crimp on getting any practice in today. After finally seeing my Dr. today and getting a couple of shots and medication I hope that I feel better tomorrow and can get back to busines.
Its been hot and a bit humid here since last week with temps in the mid 90's still not as hot as FL was. But it is cooling down a bit and will be in the high 80's daytime and high 60's at night at least thru the weekend into next week.
Chuck has gotten a little work with 2 days of work last week and 2 days this week. When this garage construction job is finished, he and co-worker will move onto a fencing job which they hope to finish in 2 days. The extra money will be great since gas is really getting in our pocket lately. We just don't do much driving but still have to mow the lawn with gas!
Well thats it for now not alot happening here. Conpany for dinner on Sat. it will be nice to cook for some other people.
This is the garage that Chuck helped build in Spruce Creek. He, Ken and Brian also built the three board fence you can see in the background, which was 700' around three sides of the property. The owner has someone who is coming in to stain the garage a cedar color. Brian, Chuck and Ken have also been signed on to replace the roof on the cabin that's on this property. It already has a shingle roof but the owner wants it to look the same as the garage, which is hunter green steel roofing. Another job a little more income to help out. Chuck and Ken also finished up about 2,000' of wire fencing last week and are supposed to start another project, a combination of fencing/construction next week.
