Most shops say £55.

I think that this is mis-leading.

Gas company turned off my service saying I owed them money. So I paid the $1000.00!!! They come to turn my service on and they break the turn on valve. Now, they say it is my responsibity to get someone in to replace the valve they broke. And to top it all off, after having someone come to read the meters which they would not do until I paid the bill, I got a $700.00 credit in the mail yesterday. I am still without heat!!

I just recently got picked up for an interview w/ a respectable bank. A dream career I have been waiting for almost 2yrs. Most (introduction) interviews start out pretty standard. One of the first thing a recruiter will ask is * Have you ever been convicted of a felony?*, I answered "no". However, I failed to mention that I had a misdemeanor in Nov2005-It is still a criminal act. I am really passionate about this career opportunity. I want to tell them, and hope they grade me on performance, not by my past. Since my misdemeanor, I have cleaned up my act, took responsibility for my actions, and went back to college. I became a better person in fact. But I don't think they will be as leinient.


I would appreciate your suggestions. Thank you.

I'd love to take pictures for National Geographic or some sort of NGO/humanitarian organization. My degree is in history and international studies, and I've taken one photography class. I've travelled extensively and love both photography and travelling. Any recommendations for further education? How could I begin to market myself in this field?

I am currently 32. I plan to retire at 52. I am currently investing in a tax deferred account. I wish to have money available at 52 also. Is it better to invest on my own for the money I wish to have from 52-60 or would it be better for me to put it in the tax deferred account and take the 10% penalty?

I have moved out several months ago, and the apartment complex is attempting to charge me for what they claim is water damage to the carpet. However the damage was done by their cleaning crew when they came in to wet vac the carpet. When they finished, there was a bleached out section where they had cleaned. Is there a way to dispute this charge, before this is placed on my credit report? Should I utilize small claims court to dispute the charge?

I sit near a coworker who doesn't have a problem with burping loudly and not holding back at all. He will just let it rip, not hold back at all and then say quietly, "excuse me". This has gotten under my skin and I feel like screaming at him, I find it so gross to have to sit and listen to it all day everyday. He is also the most annoying person to work with ever. He joins in on every conversation in the office, personal or work related and no matter where you are he just suddenly shows up. He has long, loud personal phone calls that will go on for 20 mins or more, usually someone ends up emailing him and telling him to take the outside.

Would it be rude to point out that personal noises should be kept to yourself? Excuse me doesn't mean you can just let it rip and then you are ok once you say excuse me.

I'm currently employed in retail, and while I enjoy the people I work with and the money, it's a bit stressful and I'm not really *happy*. I don't want to just quit, but I've been thinking...what sort of part-time job is good for someone who wants to be a novelist? Or at least a writer in general? Is there something that I, as a student, could do that would help me gain skills in the areas I'm interested in?

I had to break my apartment lease due to relocation. My lease ends on 1/31/07 and I need to be out by 11/01/06. I have 30 days notice and advised that they can use my security deposit for the re-renting fee (as stated in the lease extension) of $550. No where does it say that I would also be responsible for the remaining rent on the lease. I know it is NJ law that you may be held responsible but I thought because the extension specifically stated "If you break the lease before the end date, you will be charged $550 for re-renting and refurbushing fees" Doesn't that mean that I would not owe anymore but the $550?
