If you interviewed a women for a position in your company and everything was great except that she is very well pregnant. Would you not give her the job that she is capiable of just because she is pregnant?

A client I'm supposed to start with next week said
they are going to run a background check on me as a
formality.

What does a background check by an employment agency
normally entail? Is it a simple check for felonies,
or a credit check, or what? Just curious.

My husband recently graduated from college with his degree in engineering. He has been offered two jobs and is torn between the two and which one to choose.
1st job:
-Full Benefits (medical, dental)
-Starting in management position
-$17 an hour
-I am currently still in school and this job is a half hour away from where we live.

2nd job:
-No Benefits during 1st year probationary hiring
-Federal Government
-Contract with option to renew and possibly become full-time and permanent employee.
-Wage starting at $19-25 dependent upon experience and education
-This job is in another town 4 hours away, which means he will have to relocate to another city. I would follow after I graduate this spring 2007.

I have tried to give him an honest opinion, but can't help but be biased. Education really is the key to success! All these people want to hire him and he is 27 years old.

Hello all just a question for ya. I am currently looking for some work that I can do from home and I am very wary of scams and was curious as to some people who have checked into these businesses especially with say like a "10 dollar" training packet it sounds kind of suspicious to me and I was wondering if any of you have seen this kind of stuff....and if in your experience if it has been legit...I mean do some legit companies charge a small fee for training?

I am just looking for some honest work to make even a couple hundred bucks a month, I don't buy the get rich quick stuff and I am wary of starting my own business type of thing...I am looking for more of a job opportunity than a business.

Any tips or advice would be awesome!

Thanks a bunch--Jammie Girl.

FLAME

by joshua shane griffin

this book is dedicated to
my family and friends of witch there are to many to name

As time stilled and Zack began to lose conciousness,the creature in front of him blurd and changed shape,how he wished he had not found that stone.Then all at once he smiled,if it wasn't for that infernal rock he would not be on his knees awateing the fatal blow and yet he was happy.If not for the stone he would have not met the others,their faces flashed breefly before his eye's,TJ(his sholder lenth blue hair waveing in the breez and his black jump-suite covered in sea water),Matt(his short spiked blond hair and cloud covered clothes),Kat(her long white hair is only beat by her cloudy grey eye's),and Meredith(her butiful long blond hair with a white streak on the left side and her pale saphire eye's complemented her well).
A movement cought Zack's eye,there was a flash of white,the clang of sword's,a howl of pain,and then nothing,all was black.Zack start to remember things,things that he had shut out for years,things that happened before he found the stone.A battle where a boy with spiked red hair and a simple homemade wooden stave fought to protect his older brother from the creature's that atacked their village.Forward in time.That same young boy crying over the body of his older brother because the beast had done their job.Five years later the same boy but much older and stronger fighting under his master,doing intense training,his stave no longer a simple stick,but a mighty oak rod with the symbol of a hero upon it.
Two years later it was the boy's seventeenth birthday and he was given a huver-board.As the party came to an end he went boarding,he was three miles from home when it happend,a tree root was on the path,the boy pulled the front of his board up to fly over the root but he was to late.The board smashed into the root and he whent flying,the board hit the dirt and the kid flew five feet before his seven years of training kicked in.he bairly landed on his left hand before he shoved off again,he managed a hafe backflip and then hit a tree branch,then he fell.
There was a moment of blackness then a cry of pain,he was the one screaming,he had sounded so strang that at first he was not sure if it was him,then he realised why,his face stuck in the dirt he had hit face first.He felt somthing hot and his face burned,he pulled away from the ground and saw,in the spot just below where his left eye was moments before there was a small stone glowing red setting right infront of his face.The stone began to sink into the ground melting the dirt as it went,the boy plunged his hand into the molten earth after it,and a scream erupted from him again and so did a burst of fire,but he did not let go the ground grew hard again and then soft and hot once more but to Zack it felt great.This was when Zack and the stone became one,Zack pulled his hand out, and as the darkness fell in again he grabed his board and began the long trip home.
Zack walked thrue the door of his house and sat down in his favorite red armchair.He looked into the miror on the cherrywood desk infront of him,and saw a dime sized scar just below his left eye.He looked around the book filled room and noticed a large green book with gold letters on it,this book was called "Old magic",and it had a waterfall with a cave behind it carved into the cover.Zack had never seen this book before,but that did not bother him as much as what he saw on the first page.his stone sat there in all it's glory,red as the fire that surounded it.This book would change his life and he knew it.Zack fought down his fear and started to read.
As Zack read he found himself paceing,he wanted to know more but the book would not let him,after he read a page the words would disapear,and page five was blank when he got to it.Zack desided to check the rest of the liberary and see if he could find somthing out,and after several hours he gave up and sat back down it his chair.Zack jumped as fire shot out of the flore to reveal his death to him.as the fire died,it left a thin stream of soot on the ruby carpet.
chapter 2 FLAME

He's wakeing up said a slightly thrilled female voice.Are you sure that it's safe here?Said a much deeper male voice that was so soft that it sounded like it was made from the darkness that sorounded it.Another voice spoke,This time Zack's sences were keener and the voice was clearer and he recognised it.We can't move him,his body's shot.Zack's eye's shot open,he was in the medow he was in during the attack.He was on his back,the evening sun shining in his eye's causing things to blure.Then the most beutiful creature in the world sat down beside him.Meredith!Her long blond hair flowed behind her and the sheet that was hung between the tree's to keep the animal's out hung behind her giveing her wings.She looked like an angle.She laughed what are you stairing at you goof?Zack smiled,shook his head,and blinked several times.The best sight i'v seen all day,he said.
It's about to rain,said a voice that Zack knew well,Zack looked over at the trees,leaned up against the bigest one with his arm's crost and his face turned tward the sky stood Matt.There's not a cloud in the sky,said Zack.A shadow passed over the clearing and a downpour started.Meredith smiled,her hair sticking to her fourhead and the back of her neck.Never tell Matt that he's wrong,she said with a laugh.Kat ran into the clearing. The creatures are coming,she said.Zack jumped to his feet,but his legs would not hold him up,his knee's buckled,but he cought himself with a kneel.I cant do this alone,he said.Grab a sholder,Meredith said to Matt.

I started working at a new job a few months ago where I only work 2.5 hours/day so that I could be home more when I had my daughter. I get paid a high hourly wage, and am considered to be a sub-contractor of a program that works with infants. They do not take any money out of my checks, not for taxes, SDI, or anything. I have the tax thing figured out, but am thinking of having another baby in the next few months and am trying to figure out if there is any way for me to get disability for the 6 weeks afterwards. Since I dont pay into SDI, I'm assuming I dont get state disability like I did last time. Am I correct in this? Is there any type of insurance I can purchase that would cover this? I live in California. Thank you.
