I would like to be able to type my searches - but I have to be honest with my capabilities. I am one person doing all this work. I would have to invest in a laptop and take the time to whip up a Word document. Then I would have to carry it with me everyday, along with all the other stuff I drag around.

To be honest though, I haven't slowed down since Thanksgiving. I'm up everyday at 7, send my kids off to school, I work all day, come home and spend 2-3-4 or more hours sending out work and prepping for the next day. Many nights I'm off to bed after midnight.

In general, these people should pay more if they expect extra services. My reports are always neat and professional and people have told me I have beautiful handwriting. A year ago I was expected to email over work and now I'm expected to completely type in my orders online? What will they expect next year? That I pay them for the work?

I am trying to keep up with client demands but, right now - this too much. I want to keep clients pleased but I'm trying to be realistic. I'm one person, and I do a lot of work for a lot of people. If everyone went this direction - that would be one thing. However who wants to work three hours on a four page chain, four pages of encumbrances, and then be expected to type that all up? It exhausts me thinking about it. I would really like to see my kids grow up versus spending all my spare time working.
