Thank you for letting my post stay up because today was just a really bad day, and I need to tell you that just reading what everyone had to say helped very, very much.  I want to thank every one of you who has replied so far because every single one of you has really helped me get through this day, and given me thoughts to keep with me as I get through each day.  Laura, I don't think that you're cold-hearted.  I think it's like others have said, too - we do all grieve differently.  I don't know why today has been such a bad one, but I am taking a lot of strength away from what you all have written, and I think I know more now that these "waves" that come over me are normal.  I know that there is help out there...possibly medication for a time, grief counseling.  I'll be seeing my FNP in a few weeks, and I'll bring some of these issues up when I'm there.

I just wanted to say thank you again for sharing your own memories and experiences with me, and just for showing thoughtfulness and caring.  You've really carried me through a bad day and have made me feel...I guess not so much like I'm going off the deep end.

I forgot NOT to mention a company....here's a repost....sorry...

I have been an MTSO for 9 years and an SE for almost 6.  I have never been audited but I keep everything, all receipts, all invoicing, absolutely everything, just in case.  The people I SE for take out taxes, which is a GREAT thing for me, and so I only pay taxes outright in April on my private accounts.  In Florida, it's known as a sole proprietorship, where you can be the employer and the employee, and I think only THREE states allow this (but I'm not sure about that part-the latter 3 states).  I hope never to get audited but it is in such great order and I can prove absolutely everything.

I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies.  Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...

We have one cherrypicker on the account.  Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course.  She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad. 

But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time.  I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.

What would you all do?  I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account.  In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.

My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....

Just wanted some insight I guess on what the whole field is about, i.e. hospitals versus working at home, etc.  I know that sounds broad, but there is so much info on here, it's hard to grasp it all.
