how do you set boundaries?-sm
I am a home-based MT and have always found it difficult to deal with interruptions. For the most part, I do not have a problem with phone calls or e-mails or faxes. I do, however, find it hard to deal with trying to work in my work when I have company. My office is in the corner of the dining room which can be partially closed off but still....I don't have company often but often enough that it affects my overall income so it does concern me. The visitors know what I do for a living but still decide to visit whether its convenient or not. I don't feel like I want to say no every time but I still would like to be able to work a bit on the days when they are here. For example, when hubby's family is here, I would like to be able to get up early and work and when his relatives get up he can handle things for awhile. The last time I tried this everyone got up early. I felt rather resentful. I have had other instances where I was kept from my work too. I have listed the pros and cons of moving my office and have decided to keep it where it is for a variety of reasons. Any suggestions? Thanks.
MT with no boundaries
It sounds to me that this MT is just immature. What's the point with that? Very unprofessional. I think maybe that employee needs a job outside to get more attention. I don't think any company name should be used that does not relate to our field directly. This MT definitely crossed the line in my opinion. If she worked for me I would insist the company name be removed.
How about No Boundaries on Reality TV
Kinda like Survivor only its on every night at 9 through the end of the race. About half way through now.
That is tragic. I can't even imagine. You are right, they don't know their boundaries...
and one of my greatest fears is something like that happening. Fortunately, we have no standing water like that around here. I think the very worst that can happen are stray dogs attacking our children since we live in the country. I can only pray my dogs would defend and get in the way of them/us before then...but that would be tragic also!
You just never know.
I was heartbroken to the core last year when an 8 year old was accidentally run over by his mother's mini van while playing on a driveway with a hill. The car went out of gear. I just sobbed like a baby for those parents and siblings..
The dangers are very real and something I don't like to think about...
Y'all are right. I am not setting up the boundaries myself! Thanks!

Too dependent on the govt?
Too dependent on the govt? Then what the heck is the govt for? Where is my tax dollars going? Lets just get rid of the govt and have a free for all..Why depend on the govt to repair our bridges, pave our roads, conduct school? Lets just do it ourselves..Ridiculous..The govt is there to care for this country and its people when the people cant do it themselves.
they can still make your pay dependent on
now if they do not require you to clock in/out, then you are most likely going to be changed to an SE or IC status. if you are an employee, they have to keep up with at least the number of hours you work to ensure that you make at least minimum wage (production pay divided by hours worked = at least min wage).
did they mention that?
I can't remember. I have myself and 1 dependent and it is $126 every two weeks.

My CMT premium isn't dependent on line counts.
It is a one-cent premium paid on all my lines because I maintain my CMT credential.
I think that grandparents who babysit for free are just making their kids dependent on them
Maybe stop babying her and she'll respect you more.
I doubt this generation of kids will grow up to watch their grandchildren - they're way too selfish.
Just a suggestion.
Exactly! Mail fraud is a HUGE offense, and it gets worse dependent on how many state lines the
envelope with the $$ crosses! (Long time E-Bayer who knows the ropes on getting scammed - only happened to me once, but I pursued the guy from coast to coast!)
Sorry it happened to you, Laura. Weird thing - I have a C-phone sitting here unused for years and years, and you could have had it. Now out of nowhere, I need to use it. But let me know if you ever need one again - I may run across another one lurking in my attic! You could have it for nothing, girl!! And with power cord, headphones, and foot pedal!
