What is a day in the life of an MT like?
I wake up each morning, actually looking forward to going to work. What a difference loving the work you do can make in your life! I get up around 6 a.m., wash my face, brush my teeth, and then go downstairs for my morning coffee. I bring a cup of coffee upstairs to my home office and relax, reading the morning’s e-mail. About 6:45, it’s time to get ready for work! I enter my bedroom to get dressed for the day. Let’s see here…the navy slacks and the dressy white blouse? No. That nice skirt and blouse peering at me from the corner of my closet? No, thank you! I grin and don my typical attire—a big t-shirt! I worked in the corporate world many years, so please make allowance for me as I chuckle about not having to get dressed in typical office attire. I always hated that, but that’s just me. 🙂 Decked out in my big t-shirt (oh, but I have many colors!), I sit down to begin my day as a medical transcriptionist. I close down my e-mail program (and any other possibly distracting programs)
