Business & Finance - 30 June 2006

My office manager told my coworker, who happens to be my best friend, that she thinks I have personal problems and may have been abused as a child. Fact is I was, but that is really none of her business and I never discussed that with her. I mentioned this to my boss today, while she is on vacation(I just found out last night). He wants me to have a meeting with him and her to discuss this. Problem is she has been trying to sabatoge me but because my boss likes me, he will not fire me on her behalf, although she hired me. She is very vindictive and could possibly really try something drastic now to make me lose my job. Should I ask my boss to not make a deal of it or should I persue with what he suggested?

My boyfriend got a letter from credit card that he owed money from 8 or 9 years ago. I have the same credit card, and I am worried if we were to join finances like we talked about that the company will go after me for the money.

I'm a recent college grad looking for a full-time job in the Cleveland, OH area. I have a temp/contract position right now and I love it, but I need something full-time. I've got resumes out all over the place but nothing's coming out of any of it. I am looking into going through a headhunter, but I don't want someone I have to pay BEFORE I get any results. Any agencies you can direct me to (CREDIBLE agencies/people!!!) would be appreciated

I think we have all been there. I had a boss similar to the one in the movie. I thought it would be fun to share some stories of these nightmare bosses...
Mine actually told me to babysit her kids. She dropped them off and went to a meeting. They had no discipline and I still had work to do. I let them do WHATEVER they wanted just so I could get my work done. She came back to my hair filled with tape and her kids watching a DVD on my laptop. Anyone have a similar story. Yelling at you to go get her some lunch, telling you how to dress???

I am in the process of starting a clothing line. I just finished my first project yesterday but I don't think that I should go on to making anything else until I know where and what to do with them when I'm finished. I have tons of great ideas and have proved to myself and others that I have the potential to do it. My question is mostly for anyone who has there hand in the fashion designing industry: what should I do now to prepare myself for the next step in my pursuits?

Return After Taxes on Distributions 29.90%
Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares2 20.63% ...
so I was wondering if the fees are different if you buy directly from ishare...or are they additional fees (other than the fees you spend for selling it through your online broker

He had a business opportunity for me. It was to accept payment for an oil/gas company in the UK from debtors in North America. I would then keep 10% of the payment & wire the other 90% to him and so on... Sounds good hey! I had received my first payment earlier this week and I cashed the cheque ($35,000.00) I emailed him that the cheque had cleared & waited for my next set of instructions. He than sent me the wire transfer details. So I head to the bank to finalize the transaction. The lady there told me she was nervous for me, that if this was a scam that I would be resposible for the 35Gs. With that I told her I would hold off and investigate the company a little more. In the mean time the bank decided to investigate also. I am now under investigation as they feel I may be part of a scam.... Has this ever happened to anyone else? Could someone please help me in finding that man? The money was never touched, but I feel like criminal.. I look at it now & feel so stupid...
