I applied for a position in a computer company 9 months ago. This position was introduced to me by my friend and his mother. The boss offered me a sales position, and I turned down the offer indirectly. After three weeks, I wanted to get the job back, and went to see the boss. The boss was busy, and I talked to her subordinate. But, the subordinate did not call me back. I did not know whether the boss was still interested or not. And I did not talk to the boss thereafter. Now, after 9 months, I am still interested with the company. Should I call the boss and apply again? What should I do? What should I say? Do you think I should talk to my friend first or talk to the boss right away and directly? I am really lost and I am so regretful of what I did.

I'm thinking about going to law school, but I want to know what I would be doing it for first.

I'm a journalist right now, so obviously I like writing. Also, I enjoy talking about business models. And I enjoy deal-making, too.

Ive been working at an afterschool daycare center run by the local city govt for almost 2 years. My supervisor is ona maternaty leave and her boss who ussually doesnt come there cause he supervises a larger organization has been there 3 times in the past week with 2 other coordinators bitching about everything that is wrong with the building and the park even though he put someone else there to take her place while she's out. They came there with a camera and took pictures of everything that they think is wrong with the center like there making some kind of case to fire my boss or possibly everyone that works there. He actually told us that the staff and the KIDS need to go outside and pick up trash off the ground even though the park is not or responsibility and he fired or janitor 1 yr. ago and promised to hire a new 1. he has bipolar disorder so he is scary sometimes. i really enjoy working there but i dont need the money for it cause i have another full time job should i quit?

I saw the infomercial telling you that you can sell their products as your own business, send the orders to them and they will ship them out. I checked them out on the Better Business Bureau site and they gave them a good recommendation. I'm just curious if anyone has sold their products online and if you had any success with them?

I have an employee who routinely punches out and then returns to complete her work, frequently for 3 or 4 more hours! She has extremely poor time management skills. I have told her she cannot punch out, and that we must pay her for the time she works. Is this true? If so, why? I want to take disciplinary action against her for not completing her work in a reasonable amount of time, but because she punches out I am not sure if I can. Other people doing the same job are able to complete their work, so it is not an issue of assigning her too much to do.

I work with someone who is also one of my very good friends. She has 2 children, one of which has a condition that causes a lot of medical expenses. She broke down crying today because they are threatening to take her house, and her car is going to be repossessed probably this week. She had to pay a large amount of medical bills off, and it has left her with no funds.
Our company is having a fundraiser in October, where we plan to raise an extremely large amount of money. That, however, does not help her now.
I have considered taking out a personal loan for about 4 thousand dollars to keep her and her family afloat until then. She can not take out a loan, for her credit is ruined.
I am 100% confident that she will pay me back next month when the money comes in-probably before my first payment is due. I feel like I need to do something. She is in a really bad spot, and I would pray that someone would do that for me.
Is it a bad idea?

I have worked at my job for about 3 months and I love it. I really enjoy what I do, and where I work. I am 80% satisfied with my current status. My boss just got fired, and one of my co-workers has stepped into her position. I have hard time getting along with her professionally. I also have to travel an hour each way to get to work.
I "stumbled" upon a job website today, and found the same position that I am in, except with another company, and only 20 minutes from my house.
I don't know how the pay compares.
Should I take the time to apply? I feel like it is too risky, because I really don't want to end up in a position I don't enjoy. I really like my job now, but I am just not sure it's worth it. The drive is really getting to me...
