Is it ok to talk to my boss about rumors I may be getting fired?

At the end of this week, Ive been hearing rumors that someone in our office may get fired at the end of a December (in a month and a half) yet no one has approached me about the topic or talked to me about it, making me think that I may be the one, Ive been there less than a year and Im wondering whether its me.

Is it rude to go approach my boss about this? Maybe I could start by talking to my job performance and then segway into the rumors? Or is asking the boss about rumors unprofessional?

I have not heard my name specifically mentioned, but like I said, I have not had conversation about this with any of my co-workers, which makes me uncomfortable. Any honest opinions would be great.

I would rather resign than be fired, because I do not deserve to be fired, the office is a very backstabbing atmosphere so nothing really suprises me.

Is there a good fish to clean a fish tank with 7 goldfish, 5 cory cats, 8 white clouds and a betta. This is a 27 gallon (36*12*15) tank and those fish were gifts. I know how messy goldfish are so don't tell me many times that they are I KNOW. The probleme is mostly algae and cyanobacteria.

The book defines definition as

a partition of an interval [a, b] on the real line is a finite sequence of the form

a = x0 < x1 < x2 < ... < xn = b.

So does this basically mean that a partition of interval [a,b] is a subinterval within [a,b]?

in others words, does it mean an interval within an interval?

Today, while I was visiting the bank, I looked out of the bank windows & noticed that two strange-looking young men were doing something to my bike. I have no idea what, but one of the men was squeezing my hand-breaks while the other was actually STROKING my bike's bar, the bar that goes along the side of the pedals. I love my bike very much & am very protective of it as I heavily depend on my bike to get me to work since my work is too great a distance to walk. I also enjoy cycling my bike for pleasure. So, naturally, when I saw these men acting strangely towards my bike, I rushed to my bike's defence. I rushed to the bank doors & shouted to them, "hey! That's my bike. Don't touch my bike." They apologised and left, which was fine. However, it left me a little shaken & confused as to what they were doing. I always chain my bike up, so I wasn't frightened of it being stolen or anything.

What do you think of this strange story? What on EARTH were they doing to my bike?

He yells at me and says " why did you say this or that ?"
1st~ he says dont say stuff about us ( like this question ) so I stopped.
2nd~ he says Im on here too much , so I limit myself
3rd~ he breaks up with me bcuz I answered a question on how to do oral and call me a internet whore ( I gave a simple explanation on the how to's nothing else )

SO , he's like checking up on me a fighting with me and says Im "hurting" him with Y!A ( Its my hobby ) , but he cant even see how he's hurting me by calling me name and fighting with me and breaking up with me every single weekend.

Ok from a guys point of view . Whats going on ?

He also keeps saying he can find and deserve someone that can love him the way he should be loved .

I have tried everything within reason . I think he's a martyr and wants to blame me for something , yet I have done nothing wrong .

I work , go to school, have a 2 yo, and get on Y!A nothing else . Thats my life . Whats wrong with that?

another thing is he's constantly telling me what a good guy he is . Why?

There's a little fellow named Jimmy who hangs out at the local grocery store.

The manager doesn't know what Jimmy's problem is, but the boys like to tease him.

They say he is two bricks short of a load, or his elevator doesn't go all the way to the top.

To prove it, sometimes the boys offer Jimmy his choice between a nickel and a dime.

He always takes the nickel, they say, because it's bigger.

One day after Jimmy grabbed the nickel, the store manager got him off to one side and said, "Jimmy, those boys are making fun of you.

They think you don't know the dime is worth more than the nickel.

Are you grabbing the nickel because it's bigger, or what?"

Jimmy said, "Well, if I took the dime, they'd quit doing it!"

Ok, I need some serious answers on this one.

I have 3 cats - 2 are 4 years old and the other is 9 yrs. They have all been together for 3 years now and have gotten along fine up until recently. We moved into our new apartment 2 weeks ago today and haven't had any problems until the day before yesterday. My flame point siamese(very sensitive and a big spoiled brat baby) started hissing at the other 2 for no reason at all. Mainly the oldest one. There are no health issues, all get the same amount of attention, absolutely NOTHING has changed from the normal. Since he's the spoiled baby he usually gets all the attention. To discipline him I put him in another room for a "time out" so he can chill - yes just like a child. He spends abount 5 - 10 mins in there and comes out, if he continues it goes to 15 mins.

He knows I'm the alpha cat so he won't hurt me but he'll hiss at me and I won't beat him. I just don't understand what his issue is all of the sudden.

Am i the only one who feels like punching a wall anytime this bigot opens his mouth about gay couples, abortion or the 'morals' of the religious right? Am i the only one who thinks that he has something stuck up his you-know-what.
Who watched him? Why does he still have a show on TV? And for the religious right, do you share his opinions about gay couples etc?

For a cheer fundraiser, two moms told us that each of us have to sell 10 tickets to our car wash at $5 each. Even if we don't sell all 10 of our tickets, we must come to the coaches with $50. If we don't bring the $50 to them, we have to do after school clean up for who knows how long. Between freshmen, JV, and Varsity, there are about 55 of us. That means 550 tickets are expeted to be sold. The carwash lasts 6 hours (with about 10 people working at a time). With these numbers, each car would have to be washed in oh, a little under 45 seconds. Come on now, let's get realistic.

What do you think?
I mean, I know life isn't fair, but this... is just crazy.

I ask many people (Hippies) who were in the anti war movement "Did you spit on returning Veterans"? They all said "NO". They said they would never spit on returning veterans. They said Vietnam Veterans made that up to get sympathy from the everyday American.

So me (14) share my roughly 15 x 18 ft bedroom with my two younger sisters (8 and 5). Our room is tan with a horse border around the room and horse curtains (we went trhough a horse-crazy phase). I have about half the room, but no privacy and neeed some badly. I need some ideas, but also mind that we have a ceiling fan in the middle of the room. I want a) some sort of seperator, and a new possible color scheme. Any ideas?

BTW, I'm no super girly. More of a tomboy who likes fashion.
