I got yet another one, will be the third one in 2 years. Again I write, I cannot take off work as I am self employed and it would impose a severe financial hardship if I took even a day off.
This is true, I am 1099 employee which means I am a subcontractor (pay less taxes this way btw) and I am the only worker during the day and getting my shift covered isnt an easy thing. I also have add and sitting still like that, listening to it would probably make me fidget so bad I would explode.
So lets see where this goes. Its not that I dont want to serve, I would be fine with it if you filled out the thing and you were GUARANTEED to be called up. No, I know more than a few people who went thru the whole 9 yards and even showed up for more than a few days and NEVER got called. So they basically wasted time where they could be doing something more productive instead. Shoot my mom went for a week, they paid her the itty bitty money they do and what happens-they never called her. So she took an entire week off work where she coulda made alot of money to be paid less than 50 bucks..
