[Rick Lee]

I am now a 1099/100% commission guy. Absolutely nothing, other than maybe advice, gets handed to me. I have never had a job where I so felt like I earned every dime. I'm making more than ever, but also worry a lot about the lean days or weeks. My consolation is hearing from a former co-worker, who took over all my duties when I got canned. That guy is doing two jobs, getting paid for one and even that is far less than I will make this year. I have to be in the field until I reach my goal for the week, which is usually three days. The two days I do admin. stuff from home are nice, but I feel guilty and worry that I'm slacking. Still feels better than working for the man.
