Business & Finance - 24 September 2006

Here's the situation: I'm 33 years of age, I've worked hard all my adult life to support myself. I live in New York City, in Queens, but I don't like the apartment I'm in right now. I never went to college when I was young, but I've just started as a freshman. I had expected to work part-time, take out student loans, and really struggle, but (very unexpectedly) my family has decided to give me $2000 a month to live on, in addition to paying for tuition and books, so I don't have to work and can focus on school. I have plenty of money to live on, and I want to find a new place to live, but I fear that potential roommates will be disturbed that I don't have a job. I'm a good roommate and I'll have a steady income, and since I'm in school full-time I won't always be home, but maybe it still seems undesirable. Like maybe I'm a spoiled-yet-lazy little princess, which I absolutely am not. What do you think?

Due to a pregnancy scare I was taken off work and put on bed rest for a week and a half. I received something in the mail from my employer that stated my sick time was exausted and now I was being placed on a Medical Leave of Absence that I would not be paid for. They then advised me to contact the EDD and apply for SDI but according to the information they provided me with I will not be paid for the 1st week of my time off. Can they really do this and shouldn't they have called me or let me know sooner (considering they have no problems calling me for questions on work when I'm off but can't call for this).

What sort of things can you sell on ebay that you either don't actually sell a product (ie. a service), or what are some good dropshipping places? I haven't got a camera yet that I can upload photos so I can't really sell anything of my own yet, what else can you do on ebay to make money? Thank you for your help

I wonder why stores and restaurants don't include sales taxes in their prices? Instead of tacking on the 7% sales tax (in NC) why can't they just put it on advertisements, shelves, and menus? Would you prefer a store that gave you predictable prices? For example, would you go to a restaurant that had their prices in full dollar amounts, IE $5 for hamburger & fries, instead of say,4.89?
