I'm happy you understood about as you put it *getting your head straight* prior to the surgery.  In any event, it remains always up to the patient(s) and their own habits/behaviors. 

As for the Lap-Band and the constant saline fills, I like the fact post surgery that the patient is followed that closely....but that's just me

Best of luck!!!!! 

I am not sure how to PM you from this forum, so I emailed you instead. 

Thanks

This is what was forward to me. It comes from the accountant -  

I have not heard about the IRS pushing for this.  However, I seem to recall hearing that the FTB is pushing for this in California.  Basically, it is easier for the tax collectors to get their money from employer contributions as opposed to quarterly payments.  The independent contractor status has been under attack for a number of years and this may be the way to finally eliminate it.  Check with your accountant to see if he/she has heard anything.

Thanks for your reply and your time in replying, but I totally disagree.  (I don't reply back in email, as I never know WHO it is replying back to me... could be my MTSO!)

Just because I'm an IC for an MTSO does not mean they own me.  If they want to own me, I had better be getting a hefty salary, insurance, 401K, paid vacation, sick leave, personal days, season tickets to the Cowboys games, and a company car like my husband gets from his job. (And they do own him sometimes, up to 80 hours a week and more, but he sure doesn't get paid per line! Not hardly.)  It was all IN MY CONTRACT. 

You are right, she does not care that I have children. I DO. Which is why it was IN MY CONTRACT that I do a 24-hour turnaround, no less without prearrangement.  I am not asking her to care about my family, but I am asking her to care about the contract.  Sorry, but I refuse to do what you did and have someone else take care of my children.  That is why I do MT rather than make a lot more using my college education.  This is why it was, I repeat, in my contract. 

It does not just come back to what the boss wants.  She's not my "boss". I am my own boss, working within the bounds of our contract.  She is the one who keeps wanting me to go beyond my contract with no consideration for it, and it's not going to happen. 

If, like you seem to indicate, that's just how MT is... then yes, I will end up leaving the business.  However, judging by the other responses, this MTSO needs to learn the difference between IC and an employee/slave combo.
