Newbie
Hello all,
I just joined last night and spent quite a bit of time reading through the forums. I have no idea where to begin, other than to stay away from anything asking for my financial information, (groan - I've been recently had).
I have some experience as a legal secretary and then in a few other offices as a temp or for dictation specific purposes, but that was a few years ago and I don't have my own dicta-machine. I have a computer, internet, a blogspot I barely use, and a brain, (though it likes to hide upon occasion - like now).
I most recently worked the morning shift for 4.5 years at UPS, because the hours and benefits were right for me to continue my education. However, the hours and work took their toll on my health and I still don't have a degree.
I am now homeschooling my son because I don't agree with public school practices and we can't afford private. I am taking a break from working on my degree, Forensic Anthropology, to do this and require some amount of income to pay school debt and whatnot. I am loathe to work outside the home - everything I am finding in my area either conflicts with my family's schedules, or it's otherwise worth very little to my needs.
I'm certain I have some skill sets that would allow me to work at my own laptop - though I could really use some guidance, because I feel as though I'm walking through a hall of mirrors situated within an ill-lit Labyrinth.
Thank you for letting me vent a little.
