My MT journey update

I haven’t been updating my blog as much as I would like but life has been very busy.  We are moving next week so we have been packing as much as possible before the big move.  I’m also trying to work as much as I can since I won’t be able to much next week during the move. 

 I really like working for Superior Global Solutions.  There is sooooooo much work but I’m learning a lot.  I’m doing about 50/50 of VR editing and straight transcription, which is great for me because I like them both.  I’m averaging just below 150 lph for ST and just under 300 on editing, which is right where I should be.  Sometimes I’m lower if it’s a new type of report since it takes time to get used to a new type of report.  Once you get the hang of it, then I can pick up the pace. 

Otherwise, I’m really just trying to concentrate on being more productive.  I use the Shorthand program for my word expander and I just purchased the ABCZ work list from Jon Knowles (if you’re a CS student or grad you can receive a 15% discount!).  I wasn’t going to purchase a word list but after doing some research saw that the system looks like a good one.  I haven’t used it yet because of being so busy with packing but once I’m set up in my new office I will start using it and let you know how I like it. 

I hope everyone is having a good December so far!  We are getting a ton of snow here in Minnesota.  For the last few years we haven’t had much snow in December so it’s nice to see it here again even though it will make moving a little more challenging.  But the last time we moved it was in the summer and it was over 100 degrees so I think I actually prefer moving in the winter.
