craigslist, westside rentals, and the other typical internet sites? I've tried all those. Are there big property management companies or private parties that I can find a way to contact? And I never see "houses for rent" on the typical sites either? Is there a special site for that?

I recently moved out of my apt that I had for a few years and my landlord gave me permission to have an inside cat. I have had problems getting the smell out of the carpet so my land lord told me to do my best to get the smell out if I wanted my deposit back. He said he could not rent it because of the smell. I have recently been sick with streep throat so I have not had a chance to do much in the last few days. I went today to spray it with a new cleaner when much to my surprise someone is in the middle of moving in. Because I was sick I paid an outside company to come in and clean it which cost me $90. Can he do this to me? Can he rent the apt out when I do not have my deposit and still have the keys?

Ie expecting people to be happy working for money that would not cover their rent.


Be wanting to work for such wages in a job using 2% of their brain for life.

Expect young people to to want to go out clubbing, on the pull etc.

Expect people not to fall in love at work.

Thinking a haircut determines ability to do a good job.

Having the attiude that someone is only enemplyed as lasy and not as nobody will give you a job as nobody gave you one.

Thinking that people who have an attiude against employers as treated bad wont loose it as soon as you treat them right...

Think all other emplyers are persfect and any applicant who says they were jerks has an attiude problem instead of honest. And have the brains to realise that if they treat tehm well they will sing their praises instead.

Say they want team work then get upset when people describe team work based on helping each other out not being a drone.

Wanting the cv in date not brainy/relavant job order etc

Image is nothing its skills and ability that counts...


If Im bleeding to death I dont care what the guys hair cut is as long as he stops the bleeding.

Likewise you don't type with your head.


Not talking about unwashed hair but say green, red, spikey, bits in it etc...

As surely those indicate more of a care for appearance as more effort.

An quality attiude of seeking out the best products.


Creative problem solving origonal thinking, ie smarter.

Not a herd follower but more honest.

Often part of decent youth cultures more into the music then drink so less hangovers.


Oh and as for little old ladies/customers whilst working in a shop I got most compliments from them.



Oh and would I trust a doctor with mad hair... er yeah...

Likewise shop stuff... PC world Vs CEX (computer exchange, small scruffy, metal floor, rock punk kids .... who were experts and knew their stuff with better deals ie oem software as opposed to boxed. Vs dumb suit shop staff

Okay I recently moved into a small bedroom apartment that is very noisey. My door is located right next to the hallway exit door and every time people leave in and out I hear the SLAM! of the door. Even when I go into my bedroom and close the door, I can hear the exit door slamming. Its very annoying. So I decided to put a phone book by the exit door so that it stays pryed open and I dont have to hear it opening and closing. My landlord says I cant do this- but I told her its too loud when it slams. How can I solve this problem?

I've read alot of book and right now a bit lost on where to start. Do I look for financing or house first as an investment property? mobile home, single or multi family? Do I need to build a team/network to work with me?

I have a credit card that is over my credit limit but is still "open" or I have a card that is below the limit but has been closed by the creditor.
What is the best card to pay off first, asuming that the interest rates are the same. I'm leaning towards the open account that is over limit.
Which one would show most favorably on my credit file?

Why are employers allowed to ask your last wage?

What relavance has it?

It does not link to your ability just what you could last get job wise and means the poor stay poor ...

Why are employers so obsessed with experience for dumb jobs like shop assisting? fast food etc?

Jobs you could pick up in a day or so.

Or experience in general

I just turned 34, don't own a home but plan to buy in a few years, my annual income is about $49k, and my employer contributes up to $1000/year. I haven't contributed anything to my 401k so far but do have my employers pension plan. I've been with my employer for over 5 years so I'm fully vested, but I plan on making a career change in the next couple of years. Also, I'm financially strapped because I've been paying off credit card debt but in about 3 more months I will have most of it paid off and much more money left in my pocket each month. I want to make the most of my employers contribution ($0.50/dollar up to $1000/year) without emptying my wallet. Also, what should be my goal amount for retirement?
