ewtWith my typing speed I wonder whether it would be better to get a job as an audio typist or something like that. Something where I do not have to deal with other people much or make any decisions beyond whether to ask what a word was. I imagine I could do medical audio typing pretty easily - I can spell most medical words on hearing them and I do know how to use a dictionary.
I guess I'm just apprehensive about my interview this morning. I do not want another office job where I end up with stress caused by other people not really quite doing their jobs, and me being the 'bottom of the foodchain' so to speak. I want something where I can go do work, do my clearly-defined, stress-free job, and come home from work and NOT THINK ABOUT MY JOB. I have teaching and still some office work at Yakar to think about, on top of various other things... I don't want to add any more jobs that will require too much creative thinking or effort, whether it is required to deal with the people or the actual work. I'm worried that this job, although it sounds fairly straight forward (invoice processing, typing, photocopying, filing - I figure if I can do filing at Yakar I can do filing ANYWHERE), will not fit the bill. I suppose there is only one way to find out though.
GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
(just for good measure)

Date: 2003-05-30 07:33 am (UTC)I've only done letter- and memo-typing, and also media monitoring (radio) - always typing out things people have said, if you get my drift. It didn't occur to me that there was also audio typing in the data-entry type area as well. Of course it seems obvious now you've explained it. And that would be much easier to pay "per piece".
Thanks for teaching me something new today! :)
