Business & Finance - 1 September 2006

I'm trying to estimate start-up costs for a business occupying a 1700 sq ft retail space. I need this info for financing. Will a contractor(s) provide estimates even if I haven't signed a lease? Are there any costs that are somewhat "standard", for instance approximately how much does it cost to have a drop-down ceiling installed for x sq ft?

Would you contact the bank? Would you let they figure out they make the mistake and keep the money or use it until them? What else?

There is a guy here that won't stop staring at me.. then when I look at him he plays with his tounge ring. He does that whole middle school act of trying to talk about "cool" stuff around me to make himself look cool or get my attention! He drives me nuts!

Im in the state of California, i don't know if every state is different, but anyway, I was sent home from work early due to illness, here let me explain.
I was taken to the emergency room, picked up by ambulance @ work, this happened on a thursday around 1pm., did not come in friday, & returned 2 work on Monday. I came in @ 8am, @ around 10am, the office mgr told me that I couldnt be @ work, that i needed a dr's note saying i was ok to come back to work. So i went to the hospital, hoping they'd give me a quick note, they told me that i had to check in as a patient wait 4hrs so i could get a note or i could call my dr & have him give me a note. I called my dr's office, but they had to set up an appt. Anyway, I didn't return to work 'til the next day. Did the company (my workplace) have the right to send me home & not pay me, or should I have at least gotten paid 4hrs that day? I heard that if u show up to work, that they're required to pay min. of 4 hrs. Thanks 4 ur time!

I keep getting phone calls from collection agencies asking for a woman that I don't know and who has never lived at my address. When I looked her up on the internet, she has an address and a phone number (that's NOTHING close to mine, BTW). I've told the SAME company they have the wrong number and they still keep calling - it's starting to feel like harrassment. When the agency called last night I told them they had the wrong number and that they could look her up. They said that if I gave them her number then they'd stop calling me! Wait, it gets better . . . I said wait a minute, let me fire up my computer to look her up and give you the number and the collection agency lady said, "Madam, I don't have that kind of time to wait on the phone!" I have the woman's number ready for when they call again, but what if they keep calling? What do I do?

I work retail and my boss is wanting to call a meeting on Saturday September 16th at 8 am. I was told by one of my co-workers that he and I don't work the opening shift that day and I really don't want to go considering it's 60 extra more miles there and back. Can you think of a good excuse for not going? I have to be at work in 3 hours today and I'll need to have a reason before then.

HELP!

A 'tracing co' has contacted me and has advised they will be making me bankrupt unless I contact them within 7 days. This is an old debt which has been passed around to various debt companies over many years. They have my name wrong - I have since married and the letter is very aggressive, informing me that I will made bankrupt.
I do not deny this is my debt ( albeit with hefty amounts since added on) but can these companies actually arrange bankruptcy without the individuals permission?

I'm about to start in a very man dominated job this upcoming week; and I am expecting to hear some crude comments. If nothing else, I was warned about it by the employer; that they try to control it, but he wanted to make sure I can handle it. I've handled it all my life, lol, grew up with guys; hat's not the issue at all; just what's the best way to handle comments like that without seeming a prude, but not insulting, either. I'm happily married, and I plan on making that known to anyone who tries anything, but... any advice?
Mmm, and in case you're wondering, it's fish filleting, lol, grew up fishing and that with my dad and his mates; it pays well and I enjoy the manual labour with my hands that it involves.
Thanks in advance for the help!f

Without thinking about it. What was the first response that pops into your head? If it is more than one thought please list them all. Not any particular type, just the word itself.
