My "previous" boss and i did not see eye to eye on anything. I was very good at my customer service job and made the Co. a lot of money! All of the salesmen loved me because i am very good at what i do and i would bring them a lot of business. My boss is the most evilest ***** on earth and has no soul at all!!! I was there for 2 years (i'm 21) and not once have i gone to her office and complained about things or ratted on anyone because they talked to much or they were on their cell phone, or on the internet alot! For the first time EVER, i wrote an email to her (my manager) and our human resources department (Wednesday)explaining to them how i feel that it is unfair that certain people get to talk all day about their personal lifes, not answer any of the phones, and talk **** about people all day, while the other people have to do all the work!! And on Thursday, i get "layed off"! we aren't even slow. She just had no other grounds to fire me on! is there anything i can do legally?

I know I sound retarded for a Ph.D. with this kind of question, but... help? Please? Where do I start? I would rather go to industry than academia. My current research subject is very narrow (solids at ultra low temperature; experimentalist not theorist) and looking at general websites like yahoo.jobs or monster.com had no result so far - nothing looks like I'd be a good fit. Career fairs bring no results either. I'm supposed to graduate in 6 months and I'm starting to panic.

I find that I'm getting to work later and later. Any strategies for getting out of the house on time or early? I wake up and I don't want to move. I take the bus and various stops are close enough to my house. Another factor is motivation. How do I get motivated (thinking about rent and bills doesn't seem to be enough)?

I have a debt I owe from a while back. A collection agency has contacted me and wants me to deal with them, including paying them as opposed to paying the original creditor. I contacted them, and they want me to pay a certain amount a month, plus interest. Do I have to deal with them or can I tell them to go to hell and only deal with the guy I owe? I would like to have an idea about what to do before I go into court.

We have lived in our current house for 11 years. Our mortgage payment is about what many people in our area pay in rent in each month. It's really a very nice house, but we would like something bigger with a few upgrades. Because our mortgage payment has been so small, we have been able to save 17% of our salary directly out of our paychecks. We also are able to eat out when we want and go on vacation a couple of times a year, etc. But my husband is unhappy in the house because we're always tripping over each other and everything is always cluttered because we're out of space.

We have found a house we like, but we will be nearly doubling our mortgage payment and probably wouldn't be able to save much for awhile. Is it stupid to stop saving for awhile to put that money into the house? I don't want to be house poor, but I want my husband to be happy too.

I'm getting more and more behind all the time. I don't know what to do. I know I need to close my credit cards. What can I do to get out fast. Just so I can live with out the stress. I have a job but I don't make enough money to make a difference. I pay what I can and I'm still behind. I need like 5,000 dollars. What can I do to pay off that much debt without dragging it out. I'm going to use my income tax refund for it but that isn't even going to help that much. What do i do?
