In Reply to: Maybe if this deal loses clients, I can work out an at-home deal with one of my current accounts. - Hmmm

This is weird. Out of nowhere tonight, of all nights, I got a call from an MT I used to work with telling me they really need someone desperately and asked if she could give my name to her supervisor. It's a huge local hospital, working from home directly for the hospital, hours 6AM-2PM, off two weekends a month, health insurance, life insurance, 401K PLUS pension, rotating holidays and holiday pay, vacation, sick time, and incentive is an extra 8 cents a line after base (base for her is $15-something an hour and she said she made 31K last year working four days a week). So can you guess whether I told her to give my name and number to her supervisor or not?
