When looking for a job, I find lots of ads (particularly from staffing firms) saying "Fortune 500" or "working with Fortune 500 Clients". My first thought is "big deal". It's like some $9 per hour job. Is it supposed to impress me that I'm lining the pockets of some company that's already super-wealthy while I eke by in the poverty bracket? Am I supposed to hold pride-in-affiliation more dear to me than making a substantial income? Is there a hidden benefit to working with Fortune 500 clients?

After seeing in the news that, yet again, Americans are dissing Canada's health care system, I felt I had to ask this, because I am sick and tired of hearing Americans complain about my country. What on earth do you all have against us?

I realized that I haven't flirted with a guy in 2 years? Is something wrong with me? I'm 19.?

I've never dated nor have I ever been kissed. I no longer interested in flirting. I've lost the skill. I hate the feeling of embarrassment after the guy rejects me.
Additional Details

Guys do try to initiate the flirting, but it doesn't come naturally to me anymore. I'm not interested. I just get horny from time to time. That's all. I use to flirt during my ugly duckling stages. Now that I am datable, attractive looking, I don't pay attention to those things. I'm just not into it anymore. I don't think guys like me flirting with them. In the past, they didn't mind. I was fat and had great confidence. Now I'm just quiet.

sales representatives receive an 8% commission on each sale. The December income statement shows the following information:

Sales $1,200,000-
Cost of goods sold $640,000 =
Gross profit $560,000
Expenses:
Sales commissions $96,000 +
Advertising160,000+
Store rent24,000+
Administrative salaries40,000+
Amortization50,000+
Other12,000=
Total382,000
Net income178,000

The company's management believes that the December results would be repeated during January, February, and March without any changes in strategy. However, some changes are being considered. Management believes that unit sales will increase at a rate of 10% each month during the next quarter (including January) if the item's selling price is reduced to $112 per unit and if advertising expenses are increased by 25% and remain at that level for all three months. Even if these changes are made, the purchase price will remain at $64 per unit. Under this plan, the sales representatives would continue to earn a 8%

Simply, I am looking for WWI veteran's addresses so that I can drop them a letter or two; I would enjoy writing to them. I saw a previous question asking for Frank Buckles' address, with one response; however this did not help me.
Could anyone else supply me with this information? I would prefer the address of Frank Buckles, since he saw action.

I've been working at Petco part time (2 days a week) for about two weeks. They put me on cash register with barely any training or help. I should've recieved alot more training than was given to me and my boss knows it. I mess up all of the time and have to frequently ask for help. It is so embarrassing for me. I requested that they transfer me into the grooming department. They are so understaffed in the retail part of the store, they wouldn't transfer me. I absolutely hate workinging in retail!

I have little time for school, my artwork, or time to rest. I really need to quit this job. It is not worth it. I really don't need the money. I would rather find a job more suited to my personality.

I have discussed my concerns with my boss. I worked yesterday, which I really didn't want to do, but my boss asked if I would. I am suppossed to work on Wednesday. I would really just like to say no and quit. I don't think I can take anymore of this!

What should I do!?

can go completely flat overnight

ie:the seating compartment light
has 3 settings ON /OFF/AUTO ON ~lights when doors open

i switched it onto what i thought was the off position
and no light illuminated when i opened the door
but there is a slight bad connection there and sometimes
it flickers on and off or it can take a few punches to the light casing to get it to work!
if i switched it ON instead of OFF but no light illuminated all night would that still drain the battery ?

If you are way below in social, economic, educational, professional status than your life partner, how do you cross beyond these gaps so they do not become stopping blocks in an otherwise successful and happy life?

So I just got my first Tattoo yesterday. The artist did great and gave us all the instructions on how to take care of it. The one thing he didn't tell me, and I forgot to ask is when can I shave over it? It's on my leg so I will have to shave someday.

I am asking about the old Pentium 4.

I understand that for every processor, they have a processor number. How are they related to the processor themselves?

For example, what is the processor number for the Pentium 4 2.4 GHz (Socket 478)?

Likewise, what is the processor number for the Pentium 4 3.06GHz (Socket 775)?

Hi,
I am currently 15 years old, will be 16 in January.
My height is 5'8. When I was born, the doctor said I'd be
somewhere in between 5'7-5'9.
I know you continue growing until 18, right?
Well my question is, do you think I will get any taller?
Because I don't want to. And if so, is there any easy way to stunt my growth?
