My boss says he can't keep me on. I would have to wait for awhile for me to be hired. In the meantime though, I have dozens of job offers but I like it here. What should my next step be?

I bust my butt at my job and am always busy and working hard. In the rare moments where my work is done for awhile, I go and help my coworkers with some of their stuff, which is what we're instructed to do. I have a female coworker who sits around and plays card games for hours after lunch everyday. What angers me is that there were two positions open, and she got one with no prior experience in our industry while she'd only been hired a month before me. I have a bachelor's degree and am older than her but also had no prior experience in the industry, but she got one of the good open positions and I got shot down by my boss because she said she wanted someone with more experience in the other position. So she hired this other girl who had 4 years experience into the position that my lazy coworker got with no prior experience. I've secretly taken pictures of this lazy coworker and jotted down the dates and times she's plays games at work. What should I do??? Should I tell my boss?

My 2br/1ba condo has been for sale for 8 months. I can't afford to have it sitting empty any longer so I've decided to try rent it out. My current real estate agent has agreed to show the condo to potential renters for a placement fee. She will NOT provide monthly manangement.

Here's what I need advice on:

- I don't know how to credit check of applicant/how much does it cost?
- How do I determine montly rent and security deposit amount.
- How to write a lease. What terms should be included?
- Can the renter pay me directly or should I create a corporation?
- Management! What happens if something breaks? (I live out of state) I have a handyman friend who wants to do the management on a per event payment basis (no fee unless he's called) Is this advisable? What should his fee be, if he's called?
- Any questions I failed to ask?

Thank you for the feedback!!

We have put in an offer of 120,000 and the listing was 139,900. They came back with 130,000 counter offer. Do we give an offer of 123,000 or is that ridiculous? We aren't paying 130,000 and that's that. Our top dollar is 125,000. Anyone have any advice? And we are approved for a loan of any amount with no down payment.

I went to 2 interviews exactly 2 weeks ago, they both said they would call me the following week, but none of them have called, one of them did call me to complete a survey but didn't give me an answer.. I want to e-mail them to ask if they are still considering me but I want to sound professional.. what do I write? And because of the holiday I think they might be a little maybe backed up... maybe I should wait?? By the way, I already sent them Thank-you letters. Please help... I REALLY need a job!.. Thanks in advance and have a great day!!

OK - I have a bill for a broken apartment lease that I was trying to fight (for a variety of good reasons) - and now it has gone to a collection agency for a total of $898.00. This item is already showing up on my Experian and TransUnion credit reports as unpaid and transferred to a collection agency. (I have 42 accounts in good standing and this 1 as "potentially negative" - ha!) Anyhow - my dilemma is: My FICO went down from a good 740 ish to a not-good 638 from apparently this siutation alone ... if I pay the bill now, will it even remedy the FICO score - or does simply having this on my record at all make it a moot point? I had good reason to fight this, but now I'm stuck. I'll pay the $898 if it will improve my credit rating, but why bother if it won't? I appreciate any realistic, practical advice any of you may have. Thanks!
