one i saw a chap doing in Amsterdam.
You know those video cabin places where you can go in and watch all kinds of 'Dutch comedies, Swedish saga's, German dramas etc...' Well, as you may know, some fellas feel the need to 'relieve themselves' in the cabin, and they're none to bothered about any spillage.....
I think the worst job in the world is a 'cabin cleaner' in Amsterdam.
Does anyone have any examples of jobs which are worse than this?

I just got back from a meeting at my job. I work very hard and try to do my best but our company just makes things tougher for us although most of us only get 30 hours and make less than 7 an hour. We have these secret shop things. We are constantly short staffed and we all end up doing mutiple things. It is easy to remember to ask all the questions and put on the phony act we have to, to the customers and to try to push them into something they don't want but when I am overworked and have 3 customers at the same time and 2 projects due at the end of the day and have to answer the phone and alll, I can't always remember to push stuff on all the customers. I am supposed to push the customers that come to my register to buy something from the register area. If they wanted a candy bar or a chapstick, I'm sure they would pick it up and it just sounds silly to push it on someone who is buying a binder or a telephone. And when you are sick, you don't always feel like being pushy.

I am becoming a Notary, going into Jewerly bead making, and selling on e-bay. I just retired from 25 years in fundraising and I want to do so much. I thought that I would use "my first, last name, Enterprises". I was told that it wasn't professional sounding. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

I'm looking to just get a few quotes to get my monthly mortgage payment down, but I know the minute I give out my phone number and email adress I'll be swamped by companies contacting me. I just want to get an online quote of what a new mortgage payment would be if I refinanced, without having to give out personal information. Anyone know of a company?

I was wondering if anyone knows. I know government offices and the post office are closed, but sometimes Fedex delivers when the post office doesn't. I couldn't find anything on their website about it.

I work in a bar and thought I'd speak my landlady before getting my lip pierced. She said no. But as I'm not involved with food preparation, does she have the right to stop me?

I've had an investment for around 10 or more years that originally was setup by my grandmother and is still in hers and my mothers name. It's some type of bond or managed trust. It's tripled in value over that time.

If I cash it in, will I have to pay any tax on it?

Many thanks.

If the only income you have is SS, and you have no assets, and you owe back taxes, can the IRS attach your SS and if so, how much can be attached? Thanks.

We will be moving in the next year, and I've never moved out of state like this. I'm very nervous about how I will go about doing this. I'm going to need to find employment (doing the same thing I do now) find a place to live, and sell our house here. What if they want me to start the job and I haven't even found somewhere to live yet? What if my house doesn't sell right away. Which order should I do all of this? I don't want to move there without having a set/secure job. AHHH...Help!!!

in august the company took him on as a permanant member of staff.

his mate got promoted to supervisor and he goes to managers meetings.
there was a meeting on friday afternoon. his mate said that the main manager spent over 10minutes of the meeting slagging my brother off. he said that as soon as he can afford to get rid of some staff my brother will be the first one on the list.

my brother has been working loads of overtime.
he isnt late.
and until now he thought everything was ok.

he is now worried that he is being singled out incase they find a reason to sack him.

Your data model will need to track people's participation in various fitness activities at a fitness center. for example , you could track member usage of free weights, muscle strengthening machines, racquetball courts, swimming pools, aerobic classes. Drafting a data model initially involves identifying entities and attributes that forms the structure of the database. Create a table using the entities and attributes that you want to use and list at least 3 entities and at least 4 attributes for each entity.

I started hearing that a store I like uses child labor, which is Hollister. Infact, I was told that the whole Abercrombie company does. Then a little later, someone told me that all Gap stores (Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic) uses child labor as well. Now all of a suddenly I'm being told like every store uses it including Victoria's Secret and the Express companies, Disney, Wal-Mart (although I thought that issue was resolved), and the list goes on..... I'm not sure if all of these allegations are true or if certain people just have this hate for these companies. So, does anybody know who really is and isn't using child labor?
