Contact management software do you use?
I'm starting a home business and need some easy to use software with tickler files, contact info fields that I can edit their catagory titles, merge with "word" for form letters, etc. Thanks!

I feel I am doing a decent job at my current job. My only problem is being consistently prompt to the office every day each week. I have received a verbal warning, and I have been able to get to work on time with the exception of a couple of days. Should just start looking for another job?

Please note that my own internal criticism sound like this:

“You should get your tail out of bed earlier, as stop being so lazy.” “You should get your stuff prepared at night more often.” “If this job is important to you, you will make it a priority.” “Who cares that you have two children to get ready. That’s just an excuse.” Who cares that you live an hour away from the office. Who cares that your family only has one car.” “Who cares that you are trying your best , it's not enough."

Now, with all my own personal abuse out of the way. You could probably add to it, but the question I really need an answer to is should I start looking for another job. Your thoughts?

I want to invest in tax liens , but I see lien prices that range from 1k -18k. Should I go for 1 or 2 $10k liens or spread the investment out by getting a bunch of $1k liens? My investment strategy is to get interest NOT own the property.

I work for a American logistics company but based in asia, my team had a meeting a couple of days ago and I find it ridiculous that my superior, who is a woman, just decided to announce to change the meeting from 5.30 pm to 8 am just because a few of my team members who often late due to frequent phone calls from shippers and carriers, and she can't stand it and my team members just kept quiet because she is not a bearable character. I cannot accept that she just change it due to this issue when the reason they are late because they are helping the company making money. How can I present it effectively so that she can revert the time back to original??I had discovered that I should address this issue during my last meeting but i didn't. Hope to have some good tips from negotiation's veterans as this is my first permanent job and I still under probation period. It doesn't matter whether she will really change it or not but at least i should try.

I am so ticked off right now.

Job posting as technical recruiter lists $42,500 as base plus commission....obviously I'm all over that

Not "up to" or commensurate" but states $42,500 AS BASE

I kill the interview and ready to hop on, mind you in the meantime, I'm turning down other offers of 35 and 40k for this one...anyway

So I get a call a couple minutes ago and the guy is extending an offer to me...GREAT! not...

He freakin tells me he is going to start me at 30k and in 90 days get moved up to 32,500...Obviously I'm pissed and I mention it says 42,500 as base on the job posting..he says "Oh really?, It was a Typo".

Thank goodness I saved the posting before hand...I actually checked it online, and with the quickness it now says "Commensurate with experience"...what a load of crap.

Anyway is all that legal what they just pulled??? What are your guys opinions of this?

I'm currently on unemployment and just received a job offer for a position that would bring in decent pay. I'd have to learn much about the job responsibilities, but it will serve as a good learning experience. The job is temporary though, lasting only several months to a year.

I have other interviews to go to this week and next. I may end up being more interested in them, but nothing's in the bag yet, obviously, so what do I do? Accept the first offer and go to the other interviews to see if they want me and I want to work there, and take it from there? I feel like accepting and then quitting is like burning bridges, yet I can't extend the time for me to accept this position.

I'm confused -- the place that offered me the position is desperate for help, and they have a good name in the business. Yet, it's temporary, so they may not be able to keep me and I'll be unemployed once more. I feel like I'd be used in a way by going there. But, I am unemployed now...What should I do?

mlsalliance.com used to provide this service, but was acquired last year and no longer has this. I need something where I put in a street and parameters (ie 2000-2006) and get all properties that sold on that street in that time frame. I am not interested in any less convenient methods (county records, zillow, etc...)

Saturday I received a check in the mail for $4975.00. The letter that came with said that I was approved for a grant. It said that this was the first part of my grant and to cash or deposit the check, then send the broker 10% commission. After this was done they would send the remainder of the grant which was $20,000. At first I thought whatever. Then I checked the website from the letter and yes, I had applied for a grant through the website. The check was made out from a Wells Fargo account. I called wells fargo to see if the account even existed and if the funds were available. To my suprise, yes the account was real, and yes funds were there. So I deposit the check into my account and sent the broker the 10% commission. That was on Monday and I haven't heard anything since. I'm just afraid that I was a dumb *** and got scammed. Could anything happen, as far as my bank goes, since wells fargo verified the account for me?

Basically, I was threatened & bullied yesterday by my supervisor saying that if I don't take my full hour lunch that she will take away my flexi time. I don't have to take a full hour lunch because in my contract it states nothing of the sort. I work full time and I am constantly being harrassed by my supervisor over petty little things!

She is going for good tomorrow so do I leave it alone and say good riddens or contact HR and tell them and it'll go on her record?

P.S. I am entitled to flexi as it is in my contract!!! And she said she will take it away!

Is it ok to wear this or should I wear a white tee underneath the white buttoned up shirt? I wan't to look professional.

Our neighborhood association (the social entity, not the governing association) is looking to gain recognition as a non-profit organization in Wisconsin. Do you know what is required? We often try to get donations for door prizes and drawings, but find it's difficult when we don't have a tax-exempt donation letter to provide to the businesses. Any assistance is appreciated!

I stay at home now, but before I had my son I worked as a graphic artist for a printing company. I left on good terms and have hoped that I could work for them again on a free-lance basis. Well, they contacted me about doing a job about two months ago. I got the job on friday and turned it in on Monday. They said it looked great and never contacted me about revisions. A few weeks went by and I didn't hear from them, so I called to touch base. They said it had already printed and the customer loved it. I talked to the owner, and he said he didn't have the cash on him to pay me, but that he would get ahold of me the next week and settle up with me. That was a month ago! I know that they have money trouble from time to time, but I did work for them and I know they were paid extra for hiring me. How do i get them to pay me without being rude?

My wife still owns her townhome and just rents it out to a family friend for about what we pay on it each month. This is fine for the most part, except that it prevents us from buying a new house together, since she's on the mortgage of her townhome still. How can we change the status of the property to rental? We're in MN.
