Generally, no stress or very little stress. The only stress comes from inaudible
recordings and unrealistic time expectations on the part of the customer. Some
think they are your only customer and that if a recording is 30 minutes in length,
it only takes 30 minutes to transcribe. Interruptions; my family is trained that
when I'm in my office they should think of me as not at home. In other words,
think of me as if I was at work. Some phone calls I let the machine answer (can't
do that with customers though). I always tell people who come to the door or call
that I'm working. There have been a few times I've had to either chase somebody
out of the house or tell them to quiet down. Oh, almost forgot. I do get stressed
out when I cannot access the internet or get e-mail. Our ISP service is terrible,
but there are no better choices around here.
