I started last week as an IC for a small to medium MTSO.  I decided to work as an IC because I wanted flexibility in my schedule.   However, they insist on a set 40-hour schedule and working holidays, just like an FTE.   They are not paying me any benefits, not paying my taxes including SS, and I have run out of work 2 days already.  

Now I'm told I have to work either T-giving or Christmas - this really grates on me.  I get paid nothing extra for the holidays.  

I didn't think it was legal for them treat ICs like FTEs.  Has the working universe changed this much, or am I a sap for putting up with it?   I would really like to hear from other ICs who have faced the same situation -  please let me know how you handled it.  I cannot afford to quit without another job, which I am looking for.   TIA

My father died last year and he was a DNR and had a Living Will stating *no heroic measures* - at that point they oinly do *comfort care*.......

Very sorry for your experience!!!!!  *gentle hug*

I appreciate all of you who responded to my original post 3 weeks ago.    Physically I'm doing well with the recuperation from the miscarriage and subsequent D&C and the doctor told us that we can try to conceive again in a couple of months, which we will do.   

Emotionally it's still tough but getting better each day.  I miss the baby very much.   I'm keeping up the journal that I began during the pregnancy and writing my thoughts to the baby in heaven when I feel like it and  it helps to know I'm communicating my thoughts to our baby.  I'm actually able to say the words "I had a miscarriage" this week without bursting immediately into tears.  My husband continues to be very supportive and we both shed tears together at times over our loss.    Our friends, family  and church family have been incredibly supportive and that helps tremendously and we've definitely felt their support through their prayers and expressed concern. 

For any of you who encounter a woman who has had a miscarriage in the future, the best thing you can do is be there for them and show genuine concern.

Sorry....I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers or get on the soapbox.....It appears we've got a lot in common, namely patriotism....Tried to e-mail ya, but it kept coming back, ergo I thought your were incommunicado. 

I worked for the Veterans Service Agency (what would be called Veterans Affairs now) 30 years ago and still spend an inordinate amount of time at the VA with my husband, bless his heart. 

I'm glad you enjoyed the bit about the politician's kids.

Have a great Labor Day Wknd!

How do eliminate mail that comes to previous residents of your home?  I know you can write "wrong address" on mail and have it returned, but what about junk mail?  Will the post office accept junk mail returned this way?  I do not know if the previous residents completed a change of address form or not.  They have not lived at this address for many years; however, mail still comes on a daily basis.  How do you get rid of all this? 

I sent an e-mail to you a coupla days ago and it bounced back.  Just e-mail me and I can update my address book.  What did you think about barforama! Poor Juliet Cat

Is there a problem with the Yahoo mail system anyone knows about.  The Yahoo web site pulls up fine, it is just the mail.

i cannot figure out  how in the world to get back the alert in yahoo toolbar that lets me know when i have new mail???!!!  would you please help me?  many thanks.

Hi all.....does anyone have an inspired idea for a gift for the mail carrier?  Our mail carrier always takes the time to stop and talk if she sees us out....and she just told me that they lost their family dog to cancer.  She is so nice...I would like to remember with a little something.....she is definitely not into sweets.....so cookies and candy are out.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

he retired and the one we have now delivers mail when they feel like it. He used to deliver around 9?30 a.m. and never missed that time. I used to give him gift cards and/or cookies every year. If there was a package to deliver, he would bring it to the door along with the mail.  He retired last year and we have a new "person."

Now the mail comes anytime between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.  If hubby is waiting for a check on a Saturday, we're out of luck to deposit until Monday. Then we have the luxury of looking at it until Monday and, in the meantime, hope nothing comes into the bank that we forgot to write in the bank book. If I'm waiting for a package, I have to remember to get to the mailbox and check 3-4 times a day because he/she never brings any packages to the door even if it's raining or snowing.

This new mail carrier gets nothing from me this year, or any time until he/she gets his/her shitsu- together. 

I have typed a list of about 300 addresses for a 50th Anniversary party and now I can't figure out how to get them to merge for the envelopes.  I keep getting just one envelope, not the whole list.  Anyone who knows how to do this and would be willing to help me??

Thanks!!

Deliver pizzas, work at restaurant, retail sales (Christmas coming up)....

Good luck!
