I am having one of those days where I am just not that into the job. I am trying to psych myself up to keep going just 30-45 min longer today. The new job euphoria is wearing off. The soft talker is really irritating me - I just want to throw the headphones across the room. aaack just a little bit longer today, then 4 hours off. Tonight it is back on the chain gang......

Being an MT today
Thank you for your post! I am going to print it out and give it to all of the people who think I am crazy for getting out of MT, thinking it's such a perfect job just because I can work from home. I have spent the last couple of years busting my hind end to learn MT and to land a job that was perfect for my situation, only to have the company I worked for outsource all of the good dictators to India, leaving me all the crap work and being unable to earn a decent paycheck. All said and done, I was down to $50 a week for 25 hours of work a week. Not worth it at all! I will gladly drive 7 miles to work at Wal-Mart and have a lot less headaches!!!
I graduated M-Tec Today
Woo Hoo !!!!!
Interview today - questions
I posted below about the ad I saw in our paper and whether it seemed legit. I discovered that it was placed by a small MTSO in our town and he is calling me today to discuss the position. He has seen my resume and responded positively to it. I don't have specific MT training (just nursing and allied health education background) but he is wanting to train the new employees and as I am trying to figure out if I want to go to a good MT school and make a career out of this, this would be a good testing ground for me, since he seems willing to work with complete newbies.
I am not ready to work 40 hrs/wk as an MT for many reasons (most important of which is I am not trained to be one and 40 hours would kill me I would bet!). I am hoping there is the possibility of working PT 10-15 hrs per week either as an employee or contractor. As a matter of fact, I have decided the only way I would take the job if offered is if I could work nights and weekends from home (when kids are asleep) so I don't have to worry yet about daycare costs or the hassle of school breaks cutting in on when I am supposed to be working.
I have my list of standard questions ready but am not sure what is usually expected of an IC, and what I need to consider. I know my FICA/Medicare tax will double (from about 9% to about 18%) - are there other tax considerations to take into account when figuring out pay and what is acceptable? Do ICs usually write up their own contract or does the employer make it out? Do ICs usually provide their own equipment? I am hoping since he is new, he is digital and I would just have to get a wav pedal and not have to run tapes and reports back and forth across town every day.
Any ideas?
Thanks
