I think I am experiencing my first migraine.  It started with a usual headache for 2-3 days and for the past 2 days a severe headache.  My neck is stiff, hands are tingling, sensitive to sound, fatigue. I am worried it is something else like a neurological problem.  My PCP is out of town until Wednesday and I am thinking of going to the hospital if it's not better soon.  Could this be just a migraine?

Thanks!

around 67 at night, cut it down to about 65 during the day.   Gas prices have come down significantly in the last couple of weeks, so while we can expect gas bills to be higher this year than last, it won't be the whopping bill it was expected to be earlier.   Also I use gas for heat, so my gas bill will go up, but my electric bill will be lower so it will balance out.  I also cook a lot during the winter and I leave my oven open after I'm through cooking to let that extra heat into the house.  We've weatherstripped, caulked all the windows/doors, got those foam things for all the sockets and light switches on outside walls, and added extra insulation in attic.  If bill does get out of hand we have a fireplace and we'll just shut off part of the house. 

Fortunately in my area we have had a very mild fall thus far and today is the first day we've had heat on all day. 

I was responding to the person who wrote *I just started with a company, and I honestly don't think I will EVER be able to make the line count .... 11,000.*  That's what I meant by the line count being required.

As problematic as the company is, though, I don't think they offshore.

Is it worth it.  Are there many people out there that have landed new accounts this way?  Most MTSOs that have been in business for a long time say it is by word of mouth, but what about MTs like me who have been doing this five years.  I feel I'm ready for my own accounts and am not sure if this is the best route.

Any opinions?

My kid works at Burger King for a part-time job while in college.  Been there since he turned 15, so almost six years now.  If he could talk to you, he would tell you to work any place but there.  Yes, they start you off at $6.50 to $7.00 per hour and guarantee four raises the first year; however, after six years, he is now making $7.95 an hour (with excellent evaluations).  Get ready to work Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, etc.  Get ready to be dumped on by lazy managers who don't want to do their job and can make you do their job for them.  Get ready to have customers curse you because another employee screwed up your order.  Get ready to have cameras watching your every move.  Get ready to clean toilets after filthy customers who don't care if they trash the restroom stall.  Get ready to mop floors several times per shift.  Get ready to come home stinking to high heaven because of the grease, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, etc, that is all over your uniforms.  And, before I forget, get ready to do laundry on those greasy uniforms every day because you only qualify for one uniform the first thirty days.

Give up medical transcription?  Never -- even though the doctors never say, "Thank you for a job well done."  I'll take the deadlines, the stress, the competition and the back pain if for no other benefit than the fact that I still smell good after I finish my shift.    Don't forget the extra pounds you'll get at Burger King -- I do believe just inhaling that stuff puts on the pounds. 

See, I don't have enough expenses/deductions to qualify to itemize on my income tax.  When you are an IC, your tax burden may be less because you can offset it with home office space, books, software, hardware, etc.  Maybe you own your own house and/or have children to claim on your taxes.  Maybe you are married and have a supplement income (all thes things are none of my business, just listing things   ) 

Anyway, my point is this:  If I need an appendectomy tomorrow and need 6 weeks off, since I don't have anyone to support me and I don't have any savings, then PTO, STD and LTD covers my income so I can recover without worrying about losing income or possessions.

It's all different strokes for different folks.  See, I also just started with this company a few months ago.  On my last job after 5 years, I was making more than $50,000 as I did MT and worked as a certified coder for a hospial also.  My income always goes up each year after I start new accounts 

I've never heard such a thing. 

Once a person gets their real estate license, they are free to work for any Realtor they choose and for any Realtor who is willing to take them on.  The catch is like starting out in any field, they are a newbie,so they can expect to work their behinds off - try to sell houses 24/7 - and make a pittance of a commission split until they get experience (experience  = # of house sales) under their belt, at which time their commission split increases.

Here's an example of how it would work:

Newbie Sue goes to work for Coldwell Banker selling homes.  She lists a home for $300,000.00 at 6% commission, and an agent from ABC Realty finds the buyer and sells it.  Total commission is $18,000.00.   (Note:  This is why it's important that you concentrate on listing instead of running all over town with buyers.  When you get a listing and when/if it sells, you are guaranteed a commission - this is not the case when working with buyers as buyers are very fickle and not loyal to agents AT ALL!)  Anyway....

ABC Realty and their agent get half of the commission - 3% - or $9K - half of the total $18K total commission - and that 3% is split between ABC Realty and the agent, according to their agreement.

Let's say Newbie Sue and Coldwell Banker agree that because she is new with not much experience under her belt and because the Realtor will be basically baby sitting her in her dealings/closings/open houses for a few months until she gets the hang of everything involved, plus pay for all of her home advertising, etc., she will get a 30 percent cut, so Coldwell Banker's split is 9K, and 30 percent of that goes to Newbie Sue or $2,700.00, with Coldwell Banker getting the remainder.

If Newbie Sue lists AND sells the home (finds her own buyer) then she and her realtor get the whole cut of the pie -$18K, and then they split that according to their agreemtn splint - in this case 30% or $5,400.00 would go to  Newbie Sue,with the remainder going to her Realtor, Coldwell Banker.  This is called a double whammy - the listing agent gets the whole commission pie, but double whammys don't happen that often.  Anyway, that's why it's important to get as many sales as you can under your belt because your split with your Realtor will be higher; i.e 75% perhaps. 

If a real estate agent goes to work for an operatoin like Re-Max, they get the whole piece of the pie when the house sells; however, they have to pay "rent" to ReMax for their office space plus pick up the entire tab for all their newspaper/magazine advertising, which is FAR from cheap, so that's why when one goes to work for a Re-Max Agency, one had better know what they're doing or the cost of doing business will sink their ship real fast (unless they have a deep reserve.)

Hope this makes sense....
