Jodee –
As per James Chartrand’s post on asking for a raise — time to ask Deb for one, because what you did with the subheads is extra-special cool and adds greatly to the value of this site. You rock!!!!
Jodee, this is wonderful! Thanks for all your hardwork
@ Roxie
These are some good points. I guess it depends on the nature of the work and relationship. It’s hard to have a blanket rule for a situation like that without considering the individual circumstances. In general, I’d probably assess the benefits and disadvantages. If it was just a little bit of extra work and had the chance to build a positive working relationship, I would probably consider doing it. ON the other hand, if it was a one-off gig or if it had become a habit of the employer to ask for free work, I’d have to decline and reinforce the rates.
Thanks for the job leads!
I like the way you arrange the post today and I’m glad you’ll be doing that for now on!
I have a question…
A few days ago, someone mentioned I could apply for an EIN and use this number when filling out a 1099 form.
My question is this…will that EIN number be a valid substitute for the SSN#? Meaning, I place my EIN in the same spot I would normally input my SSN# on the 1099?
Thanks.

Zinging format! Much easier, don’t change.
LOVE the subheads! Thank you for this!!
