I finally dug out from all the files they piled on me Thursday ... I'm still tossing around in my head things that I probably need to say to my employer. I guess I kind of get myself caught because I am not entirely sure whether they are giving me too much work, or whether I am too slow and the work they give me becomes too much. And in the end,

One thing I've learned about being an MT, if "they" find someone who will just keep taking all the work they can send, they will just keep sending more. Before you know it you are unhealthy, unhappy, and burned out. Then you have to go through the process of getting them to stop sending so much work. Actually, 1000-1200 lines a day is really, really good, and I don't think anyone should do more than that....because you need a life too! If you aren't having time for YOU and for your FAMILY then you are working too much...period. Life is what we are doing, work is just something we have to do to pay bills and eat. Work is not life. When it becomes all you have time and energy to do....boooo Not good.

In other words ... Teri is being sucked in! Yeah, I know I am and I haven't decided what to do about that. I need to write to RIU's owner and tell her I'm not willing to do so much work. She is really a great person and I'm not totally sure why I am so hesitant about writing. I need to get things straight in my head about money versus other things. I wasn't able to get all the work done yesterday because of that Entex. And truthfully, even if I had not have been looped, I still would have had a problem getting it all done! And today is just as bad, not including the files left over from yesterday! Guess I need to give some thought about what to say to her while I get typing!
